He's got the Jags Niners. 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. I'm going to 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: start you covered Jackson Dark gets his first start. You 15 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: covered him in the preseason. So what are realistic expectations. 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't even know if they're left tackle Andrew Thomas 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: will be healthy, that would worry me. What are realistic 18 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: expectations for Jackson? 19 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the way to frame this entire game. 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 5: Making a start against the top ten passing defense and 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 5: Jesse Mentor, this defensive coordinator for the Chargers, He's got 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 5: his team dialed and so I would expect early completions, 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 5: some slants, some screens, some play actions to build his rhythm, 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 5: and don't forget his mobility is legit and often underrated. 25 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 5: He plays a lot faster than he might look on tape. 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 5: So I'd expect some of those design runs that he's 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 5: already come in and used these first couple of games 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 5: when they've subbed out Russell Wilson, to get him in 29 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 5: to get some experience. But this Giants offense has its 30 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 5: fair share of struggles, especially if you don't have your 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 5: left tackle, especially with all the turmoil in the receiver room, 32 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 5: I'd expect I'm not expecting him to win the game. 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 5: I'm just expecting him to get his feet wet and 34 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 5: most importantly, you know, stack some completions and protect the football. 35 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 5: Is really all I'd like to see from him this week. 36 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 5: Justin Herbert was good last year. He is different this year, 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,639 Speaker 5: and that's having lost a really good left tackle. 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: What's different? What are you seeing that's different? And maybe 39 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: game planning, scheming, something feels different. 40 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 5: I think last year they really emphasize that run first 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 5: culture and we're gonna pound the rock. We're going to 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 5: be ground and pound, which is fine and they only allow. 43 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 5: You know, I think you throw the ball like twenty 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 5: one times a game through his first three games. Now 45 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 5: he's thrown at like thirty eight pass attempts a game, 46 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 5: and he's showing this offense really is built on his arm. 47 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 5: He's got you know, over seventy percent completion seven touchdowns, 48 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 5: so they're leaning on him, and he's playing the most 49 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 5: confident I've ever seen him play. He's decisive, and then 50 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 5: you get the splash plays that we used to get, 51 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 5: even when he first took the field as a rookie, 52 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 5: when they weren't even expecting him to play all those 53 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 5: years ago. You still see the plays they played rolling 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 5: to the left, you know arm, you know, kind of 55 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 5: halfway three quarter side arm around a player. 56 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 4: To his guy in the end zone. 57 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 5: I mean, there's not many humans on the planet who 58 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 5: could even come close to executing that throw. 59 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 4: So he's he's in rare form right now. 60 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 5: And you know, the rushing attack has kind of taken 61 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 5: a back seat, and everything flows through the quarterback. 62 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: As you know, the opinion of a quarterback in this 63 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: league can change with a bad half. It's unfair, but 64 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, the media is loud. It's the one sport 65 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: in America. Everybody watches. I always like Carson Wentz and 66 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 1: then the late great Jim irsay he had a bad 67 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: game in Jacksonville and said get him out of here, 68 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: and it's like time out. Ye had twenty seven touchdowns, 69 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: seven pigs. It was really really good, and in Philadelphia 70 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: he got hurt. He was going to be MVP. I 71 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: couldn't pull him out. I think right now today, I 72 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: couldn't pull him out if I was the Vikings. 73 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: What say you? 74 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 5: Well, the biggest sat I saw And I had to 75 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 5: look at my phone for this because this came up 76 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 5: in a group chat. 77 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: But the Minnesota Vikings are fifteen. 78 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 5: And three when Kevin O'Connell has a ginger starting at quarterback. 79 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 5: So eighty three point three three percent, that's all I know. 80 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 5: But on a serious note, you know he provides stability. Well, 81 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy is developing and coming back from an injury. 82 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 5: You know, he just kept it steady. And Kevin O'Connell 83 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 5: clearly knows how to communicate with this quarterback. He gives you, 84 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 5: you know, your expectations, his expectations, finds a way to 85 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 5: merge the two. 86 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 4: And I don't think you know. 87 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 5: Kevin made the comment in his press conference, said, Hey, 88 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 5: you know, as soon as JJ's healthy, it's not just 89 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 5: okay he's going, He's playing tomorrow. I think if Wentz 90 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 5: keeps winning, there's no reason to pull him. And it's 91 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 5: really about the timing of McCarthy's transition and reassimilation back 92 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 5: as the starter. But as long as this guy's playing well, 93 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 5: I got no issues with number eleven starting for the Vikings. 94 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: I always like Sam Darnold. I think you did too, 95 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: But I do think I said this. I think Sam 96 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: needs structure. I think his DNA he's a little reckless, 97 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: so he does need structure. Like we're gonna throw it 98 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: twenty eight times, we're gonna lean on that run game. 99 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: And that's not a knock outside of Josh Allen. The 100 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: whole world does. 101 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 4: So. 102 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 3: I like what Seattle has created for him. 103 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 4: What do you see? Well, I think you're exactly right. 104 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 5: I think he's right around the twenty nine to thirty 105 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 5: ish number of attempts per game, a lot more towards 106 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 5: the later half of last year when he was in 107 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 5: Minnesota starting for the Vikings. 108 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: But that's okay. 109 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 5: They have a two headed rushing attack in Zach Charbona 110 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 5: and Kenneth Walker. Their offensive line is still starting to gel, 111 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 5: and especially those interior guys. Remember they've gone through some 112 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 5: turnover at the center position and then some young guards 113 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 5: really step it in. So the easiest thing to get 114 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 5: continuity for your offensive lineman is to let him fire 115 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 5: off the ball and establish the run game. Now Sam 116 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 5: knows how to get in and out of good runs, 117 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 5: and if there's no way to run the ball, he's 118 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 5: going to find a quick, easy throw. And oh, by 119 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 5: the way, he's got a heck of a slot receiver 120 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,559 Speaker 5: in Jackson Smith and Jebo. This guy, Yeah, he's turned 121 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 5: into an absolute superstar. And you saw it in college. 122 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 5: You saw it flashes of it a little bit as 123 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 5: a rookie. Remember he started his rookie year he broke 124 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 5: his wrists and just wasn't quite sure, didn't quite get 125 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 5: his footing. And then last year and especially this year, 126 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 5: he's absolutely exploded. 127 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 4: And then you see big Leonard Williams. 128 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 5: I mean, just add him to the list of New 129 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 5: York Giants that suddenly leave the New York Giants and 130 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 5: then become superstars somewhere else. It's don't forget about my 131 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 5: man Danny Dimes. He's balling out too in Indy. We 132 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 5: got those guys in a couple of weeks. 133 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 134 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: and noon eastern nine am Pacific on Fox Sports Video 135 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: FS one and the iHeartRadio app. 136 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 6: Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day 137 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 6: five to seven pm Eastern.

I thought? 170 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: I thought Sam Donald came out, I said, he's not 171 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, but he's a little Andrew Luck. He's big, 172 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: he's tough, he can be a little reckless, but he's 173 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: a playmaker. 174 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: I never had one for Baker. 175 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: I thought he was a little cocky, he was. 176 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: A little emotional. 177 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: I didn't really he was like, I don't know what 178 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: he is, and here he is all these years later 179 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: and I'm genuinely happy crushing it. 180 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: What do you make of his development? 181 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 5: Well, just add him to the List, Daniel Jones, Sam Donald, Carson, 182 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 5: Wentz all these guys who end up in other places, 183 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 5: and they still have plenty of tread left on the tires. 184 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 5: They just got to get to the right fit. And 185 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 5: I think we're realizing that the fit this scheme is 186 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 5: more important than the draft slot. 187 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: And so he's playing so well. 188 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 5: He's got that fire and intensity that he plays with. 189 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 4: You know, maybe early on people. 190 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 5: Thought Alwa's just cocky, always just a young kid. He's immature. 191 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 5: That's truly his authentic self. He is an absolute psycho 192 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 5: on the field and he has to temper that a 193 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 5: little bit. We actually had him on our show on 194 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 5: Rearview NFL and Fox Presents Rearview, and we. 195 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 4: Talked to him yesterday. 196 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 5: It comes out today and he's one of my favorite 197 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 5: guys that talked to. He's a guys guy. You want 198 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 5: him leading your offense. You want to go have a 199 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 5: beer with the guy. He's funny, he'll make you laugh, 200 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 5: he can get serious. He genuinely cares about his teammates. 201 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 4: And I think you see all that through the interview. 202 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 5: And one of my favorite questions that I got to 203 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 5: ask him, I just said, has anybody reminded you that 204 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 5: the last two coordinators you had in Tampa are now 205 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 5: head coaches. I mean, you got those guys a lot 206 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 5: of money. He did, Dave can Allis and Liam Cohen. 207 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 5: Those are two head coaches now in the NFL. I said, 208 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 5: do you get any Christmas gifts? Do you get an 209 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 5: all of it card? Are they send any wine? Cigars? 210 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 4: Something? And he goes, you know, that's a good point. 211 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: I don't think they are. 212 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 5: I said, well, don't forget about that, buddy, Yeah, don't 213 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 5: forget about that, because you're putting people on the map, 214 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 5: and when people around you are doing well, that obviously 215 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 5: says something about your own performance. 216 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: So Baker's having a heck of the year. 217 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: So I think ten years ago, if you didn't have 218 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: a good first run, there weren't as many great offensive 219 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: coaches around in the league and your career could be over. 220 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: It was brutal. 221 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: But we're seeing Gino and Sam and Baker, and I 222 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: gotta be honest, Mac Jones, we. 223 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: Need he'd be buried. 224 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, yeah, he did make a Pro Bowl. 225 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: You got tape. I'll be honest. I watch them at 226 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: New Orleans. I'm like, they're asking him to throw forty times. 227 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: They're not like handling it all off. Are you surprised 228 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: by him? I really was surprised by that approach in 229 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: New Orleans. But they just couldn't get the run game established. 230 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: That's a really tough stout New Orleans front. They've been 231 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: built on stopping the run for a long time now 232 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: and that doesn't look like it's changing. So that was 233 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: kind of the game plan to go win the game. 234 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure he was the offensive rookie of 235 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: the year, I want to say in New England, but 236 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: either way, they asked him to do a lot. He 237 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: gets banged up in the last game against Arizona, and 238 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: for the viewers who didn't see this game, it was 239 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: just a rock fight back and forth. 240 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 4: It's like six to six. 241 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 5: The teams are trading field goals and we're in the booth, like, 242 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 5: oh man, that'd be nice if a football game decided 243 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 5: to break out here, and all of a sudden it did. 244 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 5: It just exploded in the last quarter and a half 245 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 5: of the game. But one of the big plays, the 246 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 5: big play of the game from scrimmage at thirty four 247 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 5: yard reception from Ricky Pearsall who's really emerged for this team. 248 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 4: Yea, for the forty nine ers. As a receiver. 249 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 5: You gotta watch this. I mean it doesn't look like 250 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 5: much from the jump. Okay, ho home, nice throw whatever, Colin, 251 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 5: this is fourth and two. Okay, fourth and two. Look 252 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 5: at the quarterback in the center, normally the center brendle. 253 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 5: He's usually at the apex of the flying V. Right, 254 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 5: he's usually upfront, touching the ball first, getting everybody set up, 255 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 5: you know, pointing out the mic. So something's fishy here, 256 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 5: something's off. And watch what they do, Key Troll. Clark's 257 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 5: playing corner. He's rotating in and out, back and forth 258 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 5: throughout this game. And as soon as the center touches 259 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 5: the ball, it's a quick snap. It's like a sucker snap, 260 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 5: almost like a sucker punch. And as soon as his 261 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 5: fingertips touch it, he just throws it to mac Jones. 262 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 5: That's why he waited so long to let everybody gets 263 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 5: set up. Clark is out of position. Mac Jones realizes 264 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 5: this safety's got to fly over and help over the top. 265 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 5: I got one on one on the outside. Let me 266 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 5: just drop this thing in a red solo cup like 267 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 5: I'm at a Carnival. I mean, this is unbelievable by 268 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 5: Ricky Piersall. Also because there's two ways to go on 269 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 5: this and mac Jones has. 270 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 4: To throw a perfect ball. 271 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 5: He underthrows it a hair just slightly, and Ricky Piersall 272 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 5: does a little David Tyree off the helmet and catches 273 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 5: this football. I mean, asking him to do that on 274 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 5: a fourth and two. And I don't know if he noticed. 275 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 5: He's also wearing a knee brace because he got hurt 276 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 5: the drive before. He missed he almost missed a handoff 277 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 5: trying to stretch the ball that's supposed to go outside 278 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 5: to McCaffrey the drive before because his knees all messed up, 279 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 5: and then he pulls off this trick shot on fourth 280 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 5: and two. So yes, he went home with the plushy, 281 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 5: and he went home with a million tickets from the 282 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 5: fair because this one basically changed the course of the 283 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 5: game and ended up. 284 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 4: Helping him win. 285 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 5: The job of a backup quarterback is to go in 286 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 5: and win half your starts. He had two starts, he 287 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 5: won them both, So I love where mac Jones is at. 288 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 5: Now it's hey, are we looking to trade this guy? 289 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 5: Do we go get Hendrickson and replace Bosa on our 290 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 5: team and send mac Jones to the Bengals. 291 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 4: I don't know. 292 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 5: I'm just trying to figure out something there because that 293 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 5: defense needs a little help now that Bosa's gone. 294 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: And by the way, that game is a classic example 295 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: of how basically they got a safety, Arizona got the ball, 296 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: picked up a first down. How did at midfield I 297 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: hope the game was over. I was like, Okay, it's over, 298 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: just go and boom. 299 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: It's amazing this league. 300 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: So many games were to sign up by a single 301 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: play in the last two and a half minutes. 302 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 5: Also, think about this, find somebody in the stats department 303 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 5: to look this one up. But they won Arizona one 304 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 5: time at possession, they won rushing attempts plus completion, they 305 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 5: won the turnover battle, and they out rushed San Francisco. 306 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: It is so hard to lose a game when you check. 307 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 5: All those boxes as a team, it's nearly impossible. I'd 308 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 5: like to say it's less than five percent chance, but 309 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 5: I want somebody in stats to figure that one out. 310 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 4: That's way above my pay grade. 311 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Green Bay, same thing had it one suddenly they 312 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: did it. It takes all bad it's just the NFL. 313 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: Mark Sangez is always buddy, great stuff, appreciates Colin. All right, yeah, 314 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: I mean it's just crazy, you know, a Jmax. Speaking 315 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: of that, if you go look at the Arizona numbers. 316 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: One of the games this week, Seattle plays Arizona. Have 317 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: you seen the line? 318 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 9: It didn't slip, but it hasn't gone through a key 319 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 9: number yet technically, But ye ight. 320 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: But it's interesting. You'd think Seattle would be a big favorite. 321 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: But if you watch the Arizona San Francisco game, Arizona 322 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: had the game sealed, they had the game one after 323 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: the safety, they had to leave, They got the ball, 324 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: they got a first down. 325 00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 3: You're like, they need one more first down. 326 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 9: I'll say this, though, Gannon has shown well last year 327 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 9: and this year against the Niners. I don't know that 328 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 9: he's solved Kyle Shanahan, but whatever he's doing is messing 329 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 9: with Shanahan's dominance offensively, Colin, somebody on social media, and 330 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 9: I usually don't listen to these, Gibbronis said, what about 331 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 9: you know, we talked TJ. 332 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 3: Moore earlier. You just talking Cardinals? What about DJ Moore 333 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 3: to the Cardinals show? 334 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 9: Marvin Harrison, how to be a pro, how to be 335 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 9: grown up and catch the ball. Because Harrison's kind of 336 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 9: on the struggle bus. The other receivers aren't catch anything. 337 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 9: Does Arizona go all in with Gannon, who's kind of 338 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 9: sort of got to deliver this year? He could get 339 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 9: right out of town if they missed the playoffs. Well, 340 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 9: let's not call our audience jabbronis no social media guys, 341 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 9: not our audience. The TV audience's geniuses, a bunch of 342 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 9: Bill Gates out there. I'm talking about the social media guys. 343 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: Harrison has been the Seattle Arizona line. Everybody. You look 344 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: at it and you're like, how bet Seattle. If you 345 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: go look at the box score yards per play, Arizona 346 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: out played San Francisco. And that's why, by the way, 347 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: I like green Bavas week because Green Bay had that 348 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: puppy sealed on the road, played poorly and it just 349 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: unraveled quickly. Green Bay is going to go to Dallas 350 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: and they're not in a good mood because they had 351 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: that game wrapped and they embarrassed themselves in the end 352 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: as a huge favorite.

Sunday's great Monday night football, 379 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: Tuesday baseball playoffs. 380 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I got it. This is the night 381 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 3: n I sat and watched it. It's total debauchery. It's 382 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 3: just kind of not sure how he's still alive. I'll 383 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 3: look at that fair enough. 384 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 9: All right, let's start this hour colin the Denver Broncos. 385 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 9: They lost to the Charger of twenty three twenty and 386 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 9: the Charges kind of dominated how gained by over one 387 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 9: hundred yards twenty nine first downs to just nine for Denver. 388 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 9: I have mentioned now twice during the show bo Nix 389 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 9: is on the struggle bus this year his sophomore campaign. 390 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 3: Sean Payton is not blaming his quarterback. 391 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 10: It was too inconsistent. Two, there were too many minus plays. 392 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 10: It was a hard day to play quarterback when you're 393 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 10: at when your average third down to third and eleven. 394 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 10: So if we're not more efficient on first and second down, 395 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 10: the best in our league are going to struggle with 396 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 10: the numbers that we gave him on third down. 397 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the schedule lightens up considerably. They face bad quarterbacks, 398 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: average defenses and dysfunctional organizations. 399 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 3: Look at this franchise. 400 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 9: Wait a minute, time out, timeout, What do you mean 401 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 9: this schedule lightens up? 402 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: Okay, the Colts, Cinny great defenses, Cincinnati with a backup 403 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: that just got shelled, Giants, Cowboys, and a Houston team 404 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: that cannot block. And the Denver Broncos have a top 405 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: two pass rush in the league. 406 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 9: Wait a minute, man, I'm talking about Bonnicks versus defenses 407 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 9: because he's struggling Collins. 408 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 3: I know you don't want to really bring it up, 409 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 3: like he was not good against the Titans, Recults not good. 410 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 9: He's the lowest graded passer according to Pro Football Focus. 411 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: He still has Jets that's. 412 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 9: A good defense, Eagles, Texans defense is good. Now, maybe 413 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 9: the Cowboys he cooks and he should meet the Bengals. 414 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 9: McCollen or, I know he's your guy, and we like 415 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 9: bo Nicks as a human, but truthfully, what you've seen 416 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 9: I saw some stats. The Broncos pass blocking has been 417 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 9: the best in the league two three weeks, so clean 418 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 9: pocket and still playing like poop. 419 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: They're not great in the backfield. Mims and Franklin are 420 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: still young. He's got one real dependable veteran target. He 421 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: started slowly last year. He is in year two. He's 422 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: played basically twenty NFL games, maybe twenty two, Okay, I 423 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: all say his next six weeks he. 424 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 3: Will be unbolievable. Bonut. 425 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 9: They're at home against the Bungles this week. As Cincinnati's terrible. 426 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 9: I think Jake Browning's in trouble again. I mean Brian 427 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 9: Flores and now this Broncos defense that's gonna be tough. 428 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 9: Next up, Colin, let's go back to the Baltimore Ravens. 429 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 9: They have a big one against the Chiefs on Sunday. 430 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 9: The Ravens defense gave up forty one to Buffalo, thirty 431 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 9: eight to the Lions, and they have given up a 432 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 9: league high twelve touchdowns this season. 433 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: Quarterback Marlin Humphrey, who was burnt toast. 434 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 9: Okay against the Lions on Monday, NT Football, knows the 435 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 9: defense has to show up and take pressure off their quarterback. 436 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 9: I know we've got Lamar Jackson, but we can't expect 437 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 9: to score twenty We can't expect them to score twenty 438 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 9: eight thirty points a game. It's putting unfair expectations on 439 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 9: our offense. 440 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: So the issue they have is that we talked about 441 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: this Tuesday morning yesterday. They're not playing complimentary football. Lamar 442 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: is so dynamic and they score so quickly that their 443 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: defense is on the field constantly, and it's not good 444 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: to begin with. Last year, Detroit won fifteen games and 445 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: had a bad defense, but they dominated time of possession. 446 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: So the Ravens bizarrely are number one in the league 447 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: in told offense and near the bottom of the league 448 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: in time of possession. Because Lamar is so explosive they 449 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 1: score quickly. So my take is, what move do you 450 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: have to make to solve I mean, I don't worry 451 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: about Derek Henry fumbles. They're not good, but I don't 452 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: worry about the offense. I worry about them giving up 453 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: big chunk plays over the top. I think they need 454 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,479 Speaker 1: to make a move of the deadline. I don't think 455 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: their personnel is good enough, and I think when you 456 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: pay a quarterback a lot of money. Kansas City bad 457 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: old line, no run game, Josh Allen, interior defensive line, 458 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: interior linebacking group not great. 459 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 3: You can run on them evens. 460 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: Defense personnels mostly I mean they've got Kyle Hamilton Rokwan Smith. 461 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: Now they're missing a couple of pass rushers. It will 462 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: get better, but it I mean that game against Detroit 463 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: was not as competitive as the score. They they got 464 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: pushed around. 465 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 9: So let me ask you, Ravens Chiefs, right, probably the 466 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 9: best game on Sunday. If the Chiefs fall to one 467 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 9: in three or if the Ravens fall to one and three, 468 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 9: who's in more trouble the loser of this game? 469 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: And I think there's a pretty clear I think the 470 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 3: Chiefs are. 471 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, because the Chargers should be the Giants before. No, 472 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: so you're now you are now three back yep. And 473 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: if you go look at the Chargers schedule, there's some 474 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: w's on that. 475 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 9: And the Chargers already beat you head to head. So yeah, 476 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 9: the Chiefs need this one badly. So, I mean, you 477 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 9: could be concerned if you're the Ravens, but I don't 478 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 9: think anybody's worried about Cincinnati is Worthy playing who knows 479 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 9: that guy never plays man? But like again, to the 480 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 9: I don't think you worry about Pittsburgh running away. We 481 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 9: both have the Vikings this week. You're not worried about 482 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 9: Jake Browning. So even if you lose this, it's not 483 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 9: the end of the world for Baltimore. But mentally, Colin, 484 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 9: if they can't beat the Chiefs, this version of the Chiefs, 485 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 9: at that point, you gotta be like, geez, we're never 486 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 9: gonna get by these freaking guys. 487 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 3: I agreed. Final story, con Let's go to those Chargers, 488 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: who we love. I think there's actually. 489 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 9: Some value in them winning the Super Bowl, but haven't 490 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 9: made the bet yet. They're three and oh beat all 491 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 9: three division rivals. The last team to start three and 492 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 9: oh and doing it against division opponents was the two 493 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 9: thousand and six Bears. They ended up going to Super 494 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 9: Bowl that year. Now, nobody's saying the Chargers are I 495 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 9: think if you really read the landscape, I think the 496 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 9: Chargers are going to have as good a shot as anybody. 497 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 9: They got to obviously get the offensive line healthy, but 498 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 9: the skill. 499 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 3: Position guys are there. Obviously, we like. 500 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 9: The coach combo, you know, Penn and Teller or whatever 501 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 9: you want to call them, and the defense with Jesse 502 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 9: Minter is excellent. Chargers super Bowl too high Yperbolic. No, 503 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 9: I think Chargers bills. If I had to make a 504 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 9: bet today. 505 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: Chargers Bills AFC title game is I don't think the 506 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: Chargers need to make a move at the trade deadline. 507 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: I don't. 508 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 9: Well, you never can listen if you can find a 509 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 9: swing tackle as extra protection, right, I mean, we know. 510 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: But that's not a big swing. Slater's back next year. 511 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Oh, I think what you and I 512 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: talked about earlier. I talked about this during the commercial 513 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: break with a staff DJ Moore to Buffalo, think about this. 514 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: I want every Buffalo bill fan to think about this, 515 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: is that Kansas City's offense will not stay this bad. Correct, 516 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: Baltimore's defense will not be this bad. Okay, And the Chargers, 517 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: by the way, with Harbor are going to keep winning games. 518 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: You may be able to because Drake mayst kid the 519 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: Jets are circling the drain. Miami's a mess. This could be, 520 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: in fairness, the last year for Buffalo getting a home 521 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: playoff game against Harbaugh, a warm weather SOFI team in 522 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: Buffalo in that windy stadium. The new Buffalo Stadium is 523 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: going to it will be less windy. So this is 524 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity. You get the worst of the Chiefs offense 525 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: going forward, the worst of the Ravens defense and the 526 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: last year where you can bring a dome or a 527 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: West Coast team into a stadium that is a huge 528 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 1: weather advantage. This new stadium is going to block a 529 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: great deal of the win. So to me, if you're Buffalo, 530 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: this is the move you go get a player now. 531 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: I think the interior d line is an issue. But 532 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: DJ Moore is a really good player. 533 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 4: It's weird. 534 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 3: But I don't know, and I know this is going 535 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 3: to sound in SENDI here. 536 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 9: I don't know that Buffalo is right now better than 537 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 9: the Chargers. The Chargers are more balanced, Colin, I'm sorry 538 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 9: they are. They have a real defense the Bills don't. 539 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 9: And the Buffalo offense is that much better. 540 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 3: What does the Jim Harbaugh critics going to do? Oh 541 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 3: there are none? Come on, Oh give me a break. 542 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: Who's like Ohio State fans? 543 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 9: Come on? 544 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 3: Yes, what are they going to do if you win 545 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl? What are they going to do? Compare 546 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 3: them to Pete Carroll, Dude, I'm joking, I'll come on. 547 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I love when people who are great but 548 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: they have big personalities so they alienate people. I love 549 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: seeing great people who can be polarizing and there's a 550 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: group of people that don't like them, and they just 551 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: keep winning and you keep running out of excuses. 552 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 3: So you love me. Basically, well, I didn't put you 553 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 3: in Harball's class. J Mack with the news, Well, that's the. 554 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 6: News, and thanks for stopping by the herd Line News. 555 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: It's the best college football weekend since Labor Day weekend, 556 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: which was also really good. We'll put the college football 557 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: schedule up. 558 00:27:59,119 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 3: Oregon. 559 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: I think I'll take Oregon against Penn State really close. 560 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: Penn State struggled in these big games. I think Ohio 561 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: State's the better team as the numbers coming down. Washington Jedfish, 562 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: He's on our show later this week. Washington's quarterback can 563 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: spin it. I like LSU to go to Ole Miss 564 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: and win. I think Joe Clatt and I both agree 565 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: Old Missus. You know Kiffin's popular. I think LSU's better. 566 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: I'll take Texas A and M at home. I don't 567 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: know what to do with Iowa hosting Indiana. I'll take Georgia. 568 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: Bama's been allows the road team, but I think I'll 569 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: be at the USC game at Illinois down the road 570 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: here a couple hours. I do think there was a discussion, 571 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: Josh Pate, a really good college football podcaster and voice, 572 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: said that he thinks, actually, Jayden Mayava is a better 573 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: fit with Lincoln than Caleb Williams because Caleb has so 574 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: much horsepower. Sometimes it felt like it was Caleb's team, 575 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: not Lincoln Riley's. And Mayava, who was reckless last year, 576 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: does not look like the same quarterback, much less frenetic, 577 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: much more comfortable, much better judgment. I didn't trust him 578 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: at all throwing the ball down the middle last year. 579 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: He's made beautiful throws. Now, I mean, it's it's Purdue, 580 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: it's Michigan State. But Joel Klatt earlier on the Jaden 581 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: Mayava Caleb Williams comps with Lincoln Riley. Caleb Williams was 582 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: the best quarterback talent wise that Lincoln. 583 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 4: Riley had at USC. 584 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 11: And Jaden Mayava's offense could be better than Caleb williams offense. 585 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 11: Why Because it's more balanced. Mayava stays within the system 586 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 11: more so. What they threaten the defense with is actually 587 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 11: what I would consider to be deeper, incredibly talented. But 588 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 11: this offense is better and it's more balanced. 589 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 4: Yeah it is. 590 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,239 Speaker 1: It's got a big run game and Lincoln Riley, you know, 591 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: because he was so effective with quarter got this reputation 592 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: that he was just like a pass happy guy. His 593 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: Oklahoma teams were balanced. He loved running the ball. But 594 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: with Caleb Williams, I mean, Woody Marks was great. He's 595 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: now with the Houston Texans, but it felt like it 596 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: was very pass centric and Caleb centric. Just get Caleb space. 597 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: This is a real team. They have real size on 598 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: the defensive front. They run the ball. Jordan Sanders, they 599 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: got a kid, Calabasa's kid, King Miller, Miller King, I 600 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: forget Jackson, they got some running backs. So college football schedule, 601 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: I think Ohio State wins generally. If you're a number 602 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: one team in the country and you face an unranked team, 603 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: even if it's on the road, you win. So I'll 604 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: take Ohio State, USC lsu A, and m Oregon. Georgia 605 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: and I don't know, Indiana won by fifty. 606 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 9: That's I was just gonna say, what's the thought process 607 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 9: in Georgia. Kirby Smart has really struggled against Alabama historically. 608 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: Well, for a long time, everybody did. I think Georgia 609 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: doesn't lose home games, and I think Bama's I think 610 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: I think it's a good game, but I'm gonna take 611 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: Georgia and Athens almost every time against everybody except professional teams. 612 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: First things first, around the corner on a Wednesday. 613 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 4: It's thirt
