2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: on a rap bers. Welcome to another edition of the

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast, presented by the United States Marine Corps.

00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hans is coming to you from

5
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: a virtual room filled with some heroes. Greg Rosootball, Mark Sessler.

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: What is up? Blees big week? I remember call like

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, no offense, Mark, But you

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: know we led the preview show with Colts Brown's and

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: it's like, now we got six games better than that.

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: This is a big week, no no offense taken. You know,

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: as you know my my team took an ultra dirt

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: nap a week ago and they've somehow been erased from

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: the landscape. Maybe they'll be back. You know, everything could

14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: change very quickly, Mark, Yes, this is week seven the

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: preview uh for the Around the NFL Podcast. You're gonna

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: get a recap h from Greg and a mystery guest

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: Giants Eagles, which leaves us it little rusty here. Thirty

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: two teams, four teams them buy two teams already played.

19
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Leaves us with teams divided by two games to talk about.

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you know your college baby, the math before

21
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: the show, you had like four or five days before

22
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: the show here to figure out the math versus now,

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: well that that would be cheating. You know that that

24
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: was all in real time and that was special for

25
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: me and I'm proud um to see improvement in a

26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: year where not many things have improved. But boys, let's

27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: get into it, and you know how we do it.

28
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: Every week it's draft style picking every game. We also

29
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: have our locks of the week. Uh, and that's that's

30
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: a very uh that's a very big uh competition between us.

31
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, I want to talk

32
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: about a little bit Ravens news. Boys, YANNIKN. Gockway, now

33
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: member of the Baltimore Ravens, traded by the UH Minnesota Vikings.

34
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: So he does a quick quick stop over with the Vikings.

35
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Who knows dive this season are now looking toward and

36
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: in Gockway gives the Ravens a proven pass rusher, which

37
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Greg that's a player they needed they do. You know,

38
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: I think people outside of Baltimore probably don't realize how

39
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: much their pass rush has struggled this year. And when

40
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: they're not blitzing, Matthew Judaan is probably not gonna be

41
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: there long term. So maybe in Gockway is and you

42
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: only gave up a third and fifth round pick. In

43
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: the event that they don't sign in Gockway, there's a

44
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: chance they could get a compensatory pick a year later anyway,

45
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: so they're they're almost getting them for free. And Uh.

46
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: It says more about the Vikings, who were willing to

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: give up a second round pick a month ago. Now

48
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: they moved back around maybe around and a half. Considering

49
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: the two teams are very different. They're giving up on

50
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: this season. They're looking to next year. And it makes

51
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: me think Rick Spielman their GM and Mike zimmer Uh

52
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: their coach, who both got contract extensions before this year.

53
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: I feel like they're they're safe, like and I would

54
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: have assumed I would have thought they would have been safe,

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: But to be making moves like this where they're almost

56
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: trying to get worse for makes me think they're probably

57
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: safe and they're they've been given some assurances that they're

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna get to see this rebuild all the way through.

59
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that's that's interesting. I think it also depends what

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: happens between now and the end of the season in

61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: terms of safety. But you know, they've kept Rick Spielman

62
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: around through various regimes. I think part of the equation here,

63
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: and Spielman mentioned this today, was that Daniel Hunter he

64
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: is having surgery for a herniated disc and knocking him

65
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: out for the year. And their whole plan all along,

66
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: who's having Gockway and and Hunter together, and and that

67
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: plan has completely fallen apart. So I know it's well,

68
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: I know, I'm just saying it's easy to pie all

69
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: on the Vikings. But maybe they thought look at and

70
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: Goqui is not here long term in our eyes, and

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: so we got something back. But you'd have to look

72
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: at guys like Anthony Harris, their safety and other players

73
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: that maybe could be available before the trade deadline if

74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: further moves happened from Minnesota. You're they're telling us we

75
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: are giving up on this season. I mean, they look

76
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: like they've given up on the field to me half,

77
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: even if they haven't given up, they've lost so many

78
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: games now they're they're pretty much cooked as it is.

79
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, nice pick up by the Ravens. All right,

80
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: let's get to the Week seven action now, and I

81
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: have the first overall pick, and I'm very happy too.

82
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm running to the podium to hand in the ticket

83
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: for Steelers Titans. Oh my goodness, battle of the last

84
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: two undefeated teams in the a f C. And this

85
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: is a great game. Not just because they're undefeated, not

86
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: just because their ranked number two and number three in

87
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: the old Zeuser's Power rankings, although that feels like the

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: driving momentum behind this game. I feel like what this

89
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: is is like a really hard game to pick because

90
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: Ryan Tohannehill and Derrick Henry and the Titans offense looks

91
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: so unstoppable, uh this past week. And you know, everyone

92
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: is on fire obviously and rightly so about Derrick Henry

93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: going off for two yards some scrimmage. But you know,

94
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: kind of the biggest takeaway from me the last couple

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: of weeks is that Ryan Tannehill is not just the

96
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: guy that's going to approach his play from last year,

97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: but looks like the same guy. So it's like, Okay,

98
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: so you have Tannehill playing at an all pro level, uh,

99
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: and then you put him into this mix with this great,

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: solid all around team and Mike Rabel, who's got this

101
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: team coached up very well against the Steelers, who are

102
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: another team that's clicking right now on both sides of

103
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: the ball. So you got Tannehill in the Titans offense,

104
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: you got Migah Fitzpatrick and the Steelers defense. You have

105
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: no Taylor Luan at left tackle for the Titans after

106
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: torn a c L. You have no Devon bush Uh

107
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: in the front seven for the Steelers after a torn

108
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: a c L. What an even fun game? Stuff? Not

109
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: fun everything else. I love it. Yeah, you usually trust

110
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: the team that's better, you know, offensively and the better quarterback.

111
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: And it's so weird that that's obviously the Titans. I mean,

112
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: I think the Steeler's offense has been fine, and James

113
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: Conner looks a lot better uh in mid October than

114
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: he did in mid September, and that's big for them.

115
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: And Ben hit a big Ben hit a couple of

116
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: long throws last week against the Browns, But he's more

117
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: of a game manager. You you hit it with Tannehill,

118
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: he's a He's a different player than he was a

119
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: year ago. Because Tannehill is getting it done, not just

120
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: in play action, but he's not making mistakes in the

121
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: straight drop back game and there are some big time differences.

122
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: I think he's not taking sacks anymore. And man, he's

123
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: amazing against pressure, and this is the game where that

124
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: is going to be an ultimate test because no, no

125
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: defense with you know that gets more pressure than the Steelers.

126
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: No defense has more guys that deserve double teams. Step

127
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: onto it, and Cameron Hayward tortured your Brown's last week

128
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: mark and it's like you don't even have to think

129
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: about Dupree and what on the outside. Like those guys

130
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: on the inside alone deserve double teams. And it's it's

131
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: really hard to know who to stop with this Pittsburgh defense.

132
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: It makes it a fascinating matchup. I mean I watched

133
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: left guard for the Brown's Joel Bettonio, who has been

134
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: a rock for years, get pretty handled by Cam Hayward.

135
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: Tannehill is a different quarterback than Baker Mayfield against pressure, though,

136
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been seeing this for a week after week.

137
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: He is willing to take a massive shot as he

138
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: unfurls a deep dart into the end zone and it's complete.

139
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: When I think about Tannehill, it's kind of like this

140
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: brings hope to us all. You can be relatively average

141
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: in your job for eight years and then suddenly become

142
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: a fascination to the eyes. And when I think of

143
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, it's like, what does he remind me of?

144
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: It's like if you cut a wall out of your

145
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: house and dropped it off a nineties story building to

146
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: the ground. That's what he feels like running downhill. And

147
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the combination of these two and their offensive line, the

148
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: way that their interior line is beaten broke. You broke

149
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: my brain with that house since ninety story building that

150
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure it out, honestly. Like I

151
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: was showing some clips of this to my wife, Simone,

152
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know if she was intrigued by my

153
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: analysis just what it looked like to me, like just gigantic,

154
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: A gigantic being coming down hill at you two hundred

155
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: miles an hour, and it shows, I mean, he wears

156
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: teams down. This is a fascinating matchup because the Steelers

157
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: what they're good at, they are good at week after week.

158
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: I trust them to be I honestly, I think they're

159
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: better than the Ravens. I think that on offense are

160
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: being a little bit underrated because they have such a

161
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: rich variety of weapons, and a big Ben is big Ben.

162
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: But guy like Guys like Chase Claypool make this a

163
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: completely different attack. They're fun to watch. This is a

164
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: crazy game. I can't wait to see baby dim the lights.

165
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: I have some Derrick Henry highlights to show you more

166
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: impressive than my highlights. So you know, no one's complaining.

167
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: Um Derrick Henry. He for if you're of a certain age.

168
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: I think about bo Jackson. I think about herschel Walker,

169
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: just like, how are you that fast and that strong?

170
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: How can it be bigger than everyone and faster than everyone?

171
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: Especially in that yard run? Greg, I am it does

172
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: not go unnoticed. Greg, year after year. You know you

173
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: don't like Ben Roethlisberger. You have an issue with him,

174
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: all sorts of issues. I have been a bigger fan

175
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: of him than anyone on the show time out. Last

176
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: week it was he was big breeze this week. Now

177
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: he's been downgraded to a straight game manager. Next week

178
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: he's gonna be you know, you know Joe Flacco lever

179
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: level backup scrub. Where what's going on here? Man? I wrote?

180
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: He saw NFL dot Com saying he was the most

181
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: underrated quarterback of his generation, Like he's been a top

182
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: five quarterback for ever, but he's a different player this

183
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: year and he I thought he showed some things last week,

184
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: hitting some throws down the field, but they're they're a

185
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: different offense. They're not built around Ben anymore. And that

186
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: that's why I have a really hard time picking this game,

187
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: because usually a trust offense. But wow, like this is

188
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: such test of how good the Steelers defense really is.

189
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, I thought made a great point last week.

190
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: The only way to beat them is not side to side.

191
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: It's running straight at them. And who runs straight at

192
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: you better than Derrick Henry, Like who hits deep shots

193
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: better than Ryan Tannehill. Where I think the secondary for

194
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers has some weaknesses, so we're gonna need the

195
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: old Big Ben back out there. It's more a guy

196
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: that I love them in the past, and I want

197
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: to see that guy, Pat, I want to see him.

198
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: This is just this is not just you. I'm seeing

199
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: this pop up on football Twitter that it's kind of

200
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: like all these subtle little shots at Big Ben's actually

201
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: not that good this year. He's just kind of cruising along.

202
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: And when I watch the games, I see a guy

203
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: maybe the numbers aren't there yet, but I think he

204
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: is still he's much more than a game manager. I

205
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: think he's a huge plus player. Uh, and you're going

206
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: to continue to see it. This year. One of us

207
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: will be right. I think he's he's still very good.

208
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: People will be one over when he is victorious in

209
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: the a f C title game. I mean, I think

210
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: this is a a Mike Tomlin big Ben special this season.

211
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: I can just feel it within that they want a

212
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: super Bowl with him as a game manager. They want

213
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: a super Bowl with him as a game manager. Dan,

214
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: it can't be done, but I think he'll get better.

215
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not on the anti big Ben side.

216
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Don't I see what you're doing. You're trying to paint

217
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: me in the corner. I'm taking the Steelers to win

218
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: this game. We should pick it. Yeah, let's pick it.

219
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: So you got the Steelers about you, Mark, I'm gonna

220
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: go Tennessee by one point on the last second field goal.

221
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I'm feeling you, feeling the

222
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: same thing. Very close game. Give it to the home

223
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: team to pull it out. Can't wait. That's a number.

224
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: That's Andrew luck in two thousand twelve. That's what that is.

225
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: That's Joe Burrow that's Trevor Lawrence to the New York

226
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: Jets up next in the draft. Greg Rosenthal, all right,

227
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad I can take Patriots forty niners off the

228
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: board before it because he's a need. They need it.

229
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: The Patriots do not want to follow the two and four,

230
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: but you know what, Binners really need it to. Uh

231
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: they could fall under five hundred. And I'm fascinated to

232
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: see two teams that I don't really trust either quarterback,

233
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: so I don't trust their team as a whole. I

234
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: know Jimmy g had a nice schemed up game last

235
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: week and they worked it out. That's gonna be tough

236
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: to do week after week. But I'm looking at Cam

237
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: Newton and the Patriots as the passing attack that is

238
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: the even bigger concerned this week because if you go

239
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: back to Cam Newton's last game before he played the Broncos,

240
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: it was against the Raiders. He really struggled throwing the

241
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: ball in that game. So I don't know if you

242
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: can put everything on him missing practice and not having

243
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: been conditioned going into the Broncos game. That's a factor,

244
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: but a lot of it was him not being confident

245
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: in his offense. There were some open receivers that he

246
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: didn't pull the trigger. Uh, there was was a chance

247
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: to win the game late where he has a couple

248
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: open receivers again just holds onto it. It makes sense.

249
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: He's new in this offense. He's not comfortable. But if

250
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: they don't get up to speed soon, I don't think

251
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen because the running game it's good, but

252
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: defenses have really shut down the read option plays since

253
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: week on, and so they need Cam Newton to start

254
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: finding their receivers. Mark, I'm with you, I I I yeah.

255
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: We always talk about the Patriots taking a leisurely month

256
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: to figure out who they are on offense. Well, I

257
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: don't think that that journey is over by any stretch

258
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: of the imagination, unless they want to be an attack

259
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: centered around Ryan Izzoh. There's a lot of Ryanzo in

260
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: our life right now. And it's a very um odd

261
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: group of skill position players. And you know a guy

262
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: like Julian Edelman, who when I watched the Seahawks game,

263
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: he shined in that game, and so did Cam. You

264
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: thought that was the way forward. I mean, he's just vanished.

265
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: And there there was a bizarre trick plays at the

266
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: end of the game. But then I flip it over

267
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: to Jimmy Jean. You know, watching that Rams game on

268
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: Sunday night, here's a guy who threw beyond the line

269
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: of scrimmage twice. I mean, they are leaning on yards

270
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: after the catch, and they've got some guys that can

271
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: make that productive. And they they thumped the Rams in

272
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: that first half. So I mean, you know it's called

273
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: scheme right there. But I have to wonder if a

274
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: Bill of Belichick has special knowledge of Jimmy g and

275
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: and you know, and maybe maybe that's a little X

276
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: factor here. But secondly, does Shanahan really trust Jimmy g

277
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't see this passing attack telling me yes on

278
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, I think there might be a little

279
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: issue there between coach and quarterback in San Francisco. But

280
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: also we know that he's safe because we've seen the

281
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: options behind Jimmy g that. It's funny because we just

282
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: talked about where Big Ben fits. Is he, you know,

283
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: a high end game manager. That's what I see Jimmy

284
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: g as and when he's healthy and the opponent is right,

285
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: he could carve up anybody against good competition, he should

286
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: be okay. But he's not a guy that maybe lifts

287
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: you to the next level. And with the Patriots, it's like, man,

288
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: this is why Tom Brady struggled so much last year.

289
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: They didn't put anything around him there. There's there's no

290
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: explosive playmakers, and Cam Newton is back there holding the

291
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: ball waiting for guys to get open, and you just

292
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: put your quarterback in such a tough situation, Greg And yes,

293
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: that's that's how the league works. Everybody say, Okay, the

294
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna try to turn themselves into this read

295
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: option run Cam in to the ground on go nuts. Well,

296
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: the NFL just so if they're taking that away, we're

297
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: kind of back to square one. Not at the same

298
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: level because Tom Brady obviously was a statue in the pocket,

299
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: but where they're gonna struggle to score points in on

300
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: a consistent basis they will. I mean, this is a

301
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: team that's good at stopping the past, not necessarily good

302
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: at stopping the run. So the forty Niners look at that,

303
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: they think this is a good matchup and the Patriots,

304
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: it has to be mentioned, I had all sorts of

305
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: offensive line issues. They lost Aluminoire, who was ranked as

306
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: a top ten tackle on PFF, he's going to injured reserve.

307
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: But they do get back. It sounds like Shack Mason

308
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: and David Andrews this week return to practice, and that's huge.

309
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Last week against the Broncos, the Patriots only had a

310
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: single offensive starting a lineman in the same spot that

311
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: they started the year, and so that's gonna help them.

312
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: But they have to win games different ways, and and

313
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: usually Belichick has the edge with the coaching matchup. I

314
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: don't know Patriots fans know what I'm talking about. Think

315
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: back to the early two thousands. Who was the one

316
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: coach that you knew was gonna give Belichick's defense even

317
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: at their peak all sorts of problem. It was the

318
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: mastermind k Mike Shanahan and Kyle Shanan does a lot

319
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: of the same stuff. I don't really trust Bill Belichick

320
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: in a man your shook, Greg. I don't even need

321
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: to ask your peace scale right now at the Patriots,

322
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: because it is you're You're in a bad way, You're nervous.

323
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: You I've been saying they're not special anymore, and now

324
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm starting to hear it creep into your mind. The doubts.

325
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: Are the Patriots just another also ran team. Is this

326
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: the time? Now? Is it time to say goodbye to

327
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: all the wonderful gallops into January? I think it is,

328
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: and I think you you're sence. It's week six. They're

329
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: gonna not that the week seven. They got a time,

330
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: They got time to prove themselves. But this is a

331
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: big one. That's why I wanted it. Alright. I do

332
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: not count out Bill Belichick in October. That feels like

333
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: a perilous moved in. But that is sort of your move. Well, no,

334
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: it's also like you mentioned, Mark, You're like, oh, the Patriots,

335
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: they always figure it out after September. That was the

336
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: old Patriots. This is now. That was then. Let's move on, Mark,

337
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: You're up next in the draft. All right, Well, I'm

338
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: quite annoyed that Greg took the game that I was

339
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: quite fascinated with. But I'm gonna go Green Bay at

340
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: Houston another very interesting matchup. I don't think the Texans.

341
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: They feel like a weird team that could suddenly pull

342
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: up like four wins in a row. I don't think

343
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: it's happening this week necessarily. This is a good bounce

344
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: back spot for Green Bay after getting thumped by Tampa

345
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: Bay last week. They're not dealing with the Bucks defense

346
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: this time around. I mean, this Houston defense is a

347
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: hot mess. You can run on them, you can pass

348
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,719
Speaker 1: on them, you can do whatever you want. You can

349
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: have your fancy. So I think this is a good

350
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: job for Aaron Rodgers, for Aaron Jones, the whole crew

351
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: to get back on track, because you know, it feels

352
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: like in like rest in Peace defense in general, because

353
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: the Packers have issues of their own, and you're gonna

354
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 1: have these games where when a good one lines up

355
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: like the Bucks. Did you know I could come out

356
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: of that really concerned about putting pressure on Aaron Rodgers

357
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: and what Matt might mean for green Bay's overall attack.

358
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: But I just want to give some of these teams

359
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: kind of a mulligan. I just think that green Bay

360
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: is more the team that we saw before that. Green

361
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: Bay's defense, though, whether you measure it by deep metrics

362
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: or just the naked eye, they are struggling. I mean,

363
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: the last year it was all about Aaron Rodgers saying, hey,

364
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: we finally have a defense. Well, now you finally definitely

365
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: do not in the pass rush is not there. Um,

366
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: they are just they are not able to stop much

367
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: at all. So this feels to me like shootout Central.

368
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who will win this thing. I'm not

369
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: that I'm not the greatest predictor on Earth, but my

370
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: trust is with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

371
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: Sneaky good game. I mean what Deshaun Watson I think

372
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: is playing awesome right now, lights out really the last

373
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: three or four weeks. And you're bringing up the Packers defense.

374
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Makes sense to me, Mark, because if you look at

375
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: their d v o A, the Packers defense is actually

376
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: ranked below the Texans defense there thirty in the league.

377
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: That's how bad they are. And if you watch Watson,

378
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: you know he's on point, He's making good decision. I

379
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: think he actually has a greater depth of offensive playmakers

380
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: around him. Uh, then Aaron Rodgers does. Now, he doesn't

381
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: have Davante Adams, and he doesn't have Aaron Jones. He

382
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't have the running game. But I think this

383
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: Texans offense can move the ball quite well. I'll be

384
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: watching Bradley Roby in this matchup. He is one of

385
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: the rare cornerbacks in the league that matches up against

386
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: the opposing number one, and that's a tough matchup. You'll

387
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: see it on the other side too, probably Gayarro Alexander

388
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: against Will Fuller, so Roby versus Adams. I don't know Adams.

389
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: To me, he's probably gonna cook him up in this

390
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: matchup and Rogers really gonna need it because I think

391
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: he's missing some of the depth with Alan Lazard out

392
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, this podcast is kind of like a

393
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: microcosm for the greater NFL world's viewpoint of the Packers

394
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: right now, because you know what team, perception wise was

395
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: hurt more by a game than the Packers in Week

396
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: six because we went into the first four weeks. They're

397
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: playing incredible football on offense, especially not turning it over,

398
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: running the ball, passing the ball, defense, getting the stops,

399
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: and they're just they're cruising. Two wins to start the

400
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: season they hit thereby and now after this game it's

401
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: like it's welcome back all those doubts again about the

402
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: Packers and uh, last season, you know when they were

403
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: thirteen and three but didn't get any love from certain

404
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: groups who thought they were an overrated team. Mark you

405
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: were one of them. Now is it time to start

406
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: looking at them that way again? One thing I didn't like.

407
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: I really didn't like how the Packers just kind of

408
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: laid down. They got bullied a little bit for the

409
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: first time on the offensive line, which has been so

410
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: good to start the season, and and Aaron Rodgers and

411
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: the whole team just kind of like put up the

412
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: white flag to the point where Aaron Rodgers was on

413
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: the bench midway through the fourth quarter against Tampa. So,

414
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: now that you've taken the shot confidence wise as a team,

415
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: which version of the Packers shows up in Houston? Because

416
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: I agree with you, guys. I don't think the Texans

417
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: are a good team or a top team in the NFC,

418
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: but they're gonna hang because they have a superstar quarterback.

419
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 1: So I I'm with you Shootout City, you know. So

420
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: one of the reasons Deshaun Watson Dan has been playing

421
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: so well, as as of his left tackle, Laramie Tunsel,

422
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: who you came at me on Twitter. You said I

423
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: have a complicated relationship with him. I was, you know,

424
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: I was a little hard on Tunsel in the off

425
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: season because he led the league and penalties pre snap penalties.

426
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: I thought, if you're the highest paid tackle, don't leave

427
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: the league and penalties. Well, you know, how many penalties

428
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: he has this year? Zero? And people I trust Brandon

429
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: Thorn on Twitter. PFF's rankings have him as the number

430
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: one left tackle in the league. This matchup could involve

431
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: the two top left tackles in the league if David

432
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: baktr is healthy enough to play, so you know, players

433
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: get better, Laramie Tunsel making the leap worth all the money.

434
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien genius general manager after all? Al Right, okay,

435
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: and just that, yes, he he had a strong year

436
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: last year as well, had some penalties, and I just

437
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: feel like you've been up and down on him in general.

438
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: And now that that tweet jumped out to me and

439
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: I said, let me engage in your mentions and then

440
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: you were so fired been angry that I dared to

441
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: do that. You didn't even reply, so I didn't get

442
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: the rest. I didn't see it till hours later, as

443
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: if we hadn't worked together for seven years, and even

444
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: your bother I wanted to say, for the show this gold,

445
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: this is gold, right area. You know who didn't engage

446
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: that all was Jadevan Clowney going against Laramie tuns of

447
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: last week. I've never seen someone make Jeevan Clowney look

448
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: like a little kid as much as tunsl did as

449
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 1: crazy jadeveon Clowney. That's a whole other topic. All right.

450
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: Up next in the draft, pick Mark Sessler. How about

451
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: this guy's we will go Seattle at Arizona and this game?

452
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: To me, here's another defense with the Seahawks that concerned me.

453
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they are twenty eight and sack rate in

454
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. They are not getting to the quarterback. You've

455
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: got to deal with DeAndre Hopkins and Kyler Murray, who

456
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: is an absolute magician on the ground. But I'm watching

457
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: this Cardinals offense sometimes and I think that they're still

458
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: in search of themselves too. I don't I don't entirely

459
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: trust them. I don't think that they played especially well

460
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: against the Jets a couple of weeks ago. They weren't

461
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: magical last week. They just do some things really well.

462
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: Uh At that's that said. I mean, you know what

463
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: I feel about the Seahawks, guys. I feel like every

464
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks game is essentially the same. They can get into trouble,

465
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: they will play. You know, they against the Vikings, I

466
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: think they played their worst half of the season. But

467
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 1: there's something about the Seahawks that they can overcome that

468
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: kind of a half, and so this is, to me

469
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: is sort of an acid test for the Cardinals. I

470
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: know they beat they beat Seattle a year ago, but

471
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I trust this Cardinals offense more than

472
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: I did the Cardinals offense from last season. Yeah, I

473
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: don't either. They're they're a strange team. The Cardinals are

474
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: four and two. You gotta give them some credit for that.

475
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: They're an organization that has not won a lot of

476
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: games in recent years. So they're beating bad teams up that.

477
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: They've had the fourth easiest schedule in the league so

478
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: far this season, and now it gets a lot tougher.

479
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: I think the Kyler Murray scramble right now is pretty

480
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: much the most unstoppable play in football. I I saw

481
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: people like kind of getting on the Cowboys defense for

482
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: not being ready for some of the scramble. It's like,

483
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: no one is ready for that, but can you do

484
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: at quarter after quarter? I don't trust it as much

485
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: as those Seahawks receivers going up against these Cardinals cornerbacks.

486
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson has not played that well this year. Drake

487
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 1: Kirkpatrick has not played that well this year, and you

488
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: have to just trust Seattle a little more and see

489
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: what Pete Carroll did defensively during the bye week. Sounds

490
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: like they're probably not getting Jamal Adams back, But does

491
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: he come up with any answers because that was not

492
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: a Pete Carroll defense that we really saw over the

493
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: first five weeks of the season. This is gonna be

494
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: a great game. What a great quarterback game Russell Wilson

495
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, and we talked about it earlier this week

496
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Murray his playmaking ability is pretty terrifying

497
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: for a defense, and now you have Seattle can't stop anybody,

498
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: and this feels like potentially a huge Kyler Murray game.

499
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: That's that's the kind of vibe I'm getting right now

500
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: because and Seahawks fans are so angry over in power

501
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: rankings Land that I still have them right at five.

502
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: They want them at one because they're undefeated. This is

503
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: a team that has major issues on defense. And I

504
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: just think that unless Russell Wilson continues to play at

505
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: this all world level, and maybe you will and they'll

506
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: be okay and go thirteen and three or fourteen and two.

507
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: But there's the other side of this and how these

508
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: things typically work out, where if one side continues to

509
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: be a major issue and you're trying to cover up

510
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: in them every week, well that means the slump's coming

511
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: and you're eventually when the offense cools off, the defense

512
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: isn't there to pick you up, and you lose a

513
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: few games. I kind of see that coming, but maybe

514
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: with Seattle, and I think it's gonna happen here in Arizona.

515
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: I like the Cardow Well, I will have to disagree

516
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: on one front because I just I think that Seattle

517
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: can get get by with these defensive issues, and I

518
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: believe in their desire and their overall team makeup and

519
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: the whole Seahawks energy enough that I'm going to confidently

520
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: lock up the Seattle Seahawks this week. That's my lot.

521
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: You're such a predictable lot. I knew it. You've skated

522
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: by last Seahawks over Vikings, lock the Seahawks over Patriots lockey.

523
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: You love these Seahawks closed games. You know what? Last

524
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: week I tried to get fancy. I went with a

525
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: young Carolina Panthers team. I got burned hard and dropped

526
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: me out of first place. I'm going back to the

527
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: reliable Seattle organization that I trust with my heart. Time

528
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: now for Road to Victory presented by the United States

529
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: Marine Corps. Greg You're up next, all right, I'm going

530
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: down to the dirty NFC South taking a Panthers Saints

531
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: matchup with all sorts of connections. That's why I like

532
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: this division. They're always just very incestuous. And this year

533
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: you've got Joe Brady, the Panthers play caller on offense,

534
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: going back to the Superdome where he helped the Saints offense,

535
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: where he knows Teddy Bridgewater obviously very well. He knew

536
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: him in New Orleans. Now he's got him in Carolina,

537
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: and he's going up against Dennis Allen, the Saints defensive coordinator.

538
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: When you look at these two rosters, the Saints are

539
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: so much more talented that the Carolina Panthers have to

540
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: win with scheme and have to make Dennis Allen do

541
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: dumb things, which Dennis Allen does. Sometimes. I think he

542
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: overthinks that he loves to let everyone know that Dennis

543
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: Allen is calling the blitzes and doing some wild stuff.

544
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: Because when you just match them up, obviously, the Saints

545
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: are way more talented. I think their defensive line looks

546
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: better right now now that they have Marcus Davenborg back there. Deeper,

547
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: they're better. And yet I just think this Panthers coaching

548
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: staff can keep it close and make the Saints very nervous.

549
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: I would be concerned about one aspect of the Saints

550
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: defense though, and it's it's shined in the past, but

551
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: Marshall and Lattimore is giving up a perfect passer raining

552
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,239
Speaker 1: at the moment. Uh. You know, North Jenkins has been

553
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: out of the mix side, you can you can pass

554
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: on this team. Uh. The on the flip side, Carolina

555
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: runs sort of a zone defense that does not has

556
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: not given up a ton of big plays down the field,

557
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: but you can kind of operate these sort of shorter

558
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: passing game hypercentage throws on them. And that is perfect

559
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: for Drew Brees. And you're getting Michael Thomas back and

560
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: Alvin Camar You can run on Carolina too. That has

561
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: been a consistent issue for that defense. Um a pretty

562
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: banged up defense too that lacks some pass rushers right now.

563
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: So I think this sets up well for Thomas's return,

564
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: for Alvin Kamara, who was amazing the last time we

565
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: saw him, and so this Saints team, you know, well rested.

566
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: I like their situation here in a tight one though.

567
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: These Panthers, they're frisky, they don't get blown out. They

568
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: keep it, they keep it interesting. That Matt Rule fan

569
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: club is still vibrant. Don't talk to me about the

570
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: Bears game. It's still alive. People are still subscribing to

571
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: the newsletters. Were going strong. Yeah, the Saints to me

572
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: feel well set up here. I'm with you. That was

573
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: such a huge win to steal on Monday night football,

574
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: to get into Earby and then regroup a little bit.

575
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: And you would think Latimore unless he's you know, injured,

576
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: and he's not himself right now and there's something else

577
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: going on, we'll get better. Uh. And I'm not too

578
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: worried about the Panthers. I think they'll um score some

579
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: points here. But at the same time, Michael Thomas is back.

580
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: And it's interesting what's going on with Michael Thomas because

581
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: it's yes, it's the high ankle sprain that knocked him

582
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: out for three weeks, but then a suspension for punching

583
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: a teammate and he's known as a volatile personality behind

584
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: the scenes, and is this under control or is there

585
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: something spiraling behind the scenes with the Saints, because this guy,

586
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: I think Camara would be the Dave Damnaschik Jenga Peece

587
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: for this offense. But Michael Thomas is the guy that

588
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: really makes Drew Brees better than average at this star

589
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: stage of his career. So you have Michael Thomas, healthy, motivated,

590
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: in the right place, headspace wise, Emmanuel Sanders starting to

591
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: figure things out, get the chemistry going. With a healthy

592
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: Camara and Breeze, They're gonna continue to score points. I

593
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: like the Saints in this game, but I respect the Panthers.

594
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: That could be a frisky game for them. I can't

595
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: believe I'm saying this, but I think we need I mean,

596
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: we need a little bit less of Taysom Hill. He

597
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: was our weekly segment. He's not living anymore on Taysom Hill.

598
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: He's dying with Taysom Hill. I look at I think,

599
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: I still think he's a super fascinating player, but a

600
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: gadget player is what he probably is at this point.

601
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: And it just it didn't look right. And I mean,

602
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: I know, you know, Twitter Middle School had their fun

603
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: with all of that business, but I think some of

604
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: it was correct that this is like either it's it's

605
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: either you're gonna put Breeze in on these plays. But

606
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: when he was yanked, I mean there was one moment

607
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: where Breeze was just staring at Sean Payton with like

608
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: a thousand yards stair, like, why is Taysom Hill and

609
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: the trust Breeze? They don't trust Freeze on third and long.

610
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: And I don't totally blame them. I think you're right,

611
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: but he converted several of them in a big spot

612
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: on Monday night Fall. But that's why it was so

613
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: odd to me. When Breeze was warming up in the

614
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: second half and making plays, they were still pulling them

615
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: off the field for Taysom Hill. So I don't know,

616
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: there just was some type of I don't know, incongruity there.

617
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: It's fair. I didn't mean to shut you down there, right, Wow. No,

618
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean I love that Marcus finally given given up.

619
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: I feel like we should you know, celebrate or you

620
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: know not podcast history. Let's use them correctly, Let's put

621
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: him in a position to succeed. That's all you know,

622
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: we got. We're getting a little bit too much. A

623
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: little bit too much is a little bit too much

624
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: all right. That was Road to Victory presented by the

625
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: United States Marine Corps. Alright, that brings up the old

626
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: Zeuser in the pics. I will take let's see how

627
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: manna hammana hammana Bucks at right? All right? So listen,

628
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: what are you gonna say about the Bucks right now?

629
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: What what can you say in a critical sense to

630
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: to doubt them after what we saw against the Packers.

631
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: They are when they are right, the most complete team

632
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: in the league. Defense is absolutely on fire right now,

633
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: and it's been that way for most of the season.

634
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Look at the numbers, look at the advanced analytics. This

635
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: team is for real on that side of the ball.

636
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: And what it's done is created a perfect situation here,

637
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: uh in that Tom Brady does not have to be

638
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: the savior. He doesn't need to be two thousand seven

639
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. He just needs to be a super glorified

640
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: game manager himself. And he's been exactly that and sometimes better.

641
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: So I'm feeling really good about the Bucks right now.

642
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: I'd be very tough for me to pick against him.

643
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: And you know the Raiders right now, obviously they have

644
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: a situation with COVID nineteen that's created some indecision around them,

645
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: and that's been a distraction that feels like every team

646
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: gets hit with this at some point it's their turn.

647
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: But they are also now coming off of bye and

648
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: they are feeling great, or they were because they just

649
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: beat the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes and Arrowhead,

650
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: so two teams with a lot of confidence. The game

651
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: is being played at the depth star Mark Seessler, what

652
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: do you think? I mean, you know, there was a

653
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: lot of heat on Paul gun Through because for what

654
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: you might like about the Raiders offense, the defense for

655
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: a while now has been highly suspect. They held the

656
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs to one score in the second half. I mean

657
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: it was just that is if if this team is

658
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: able to knock out Kansas City and then turn around

659
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: and take care of the Bucks, I mean we have

660
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: to call that a massive doorway they've talk to into

661
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: a world of completely different expectations for this this Prater's Club.

662
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: And there's a little thing I like about this game

663
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: is that member back when the coronavirus just started and

664
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: we were all in our little homes doing our free

665
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: agency show, and there were whispers that the Raiders wanted

666
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and what did that mean for Derek Carr?

667
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, Derek Carr is the kind of quarterback

668
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: that I get that he's like a really nice guy,

669
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: but he seems to hold onto slights. That's the way

670
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: I perceived into and I think it's got to be

671
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: lodged in his mind that my own team had interest

672
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: in Tom Brady, which is not a sin because it's

673
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. But now you have Derek Carr, who has

674
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: like eleven touchdowns, one pick, seventy plus completion percentage. He's

675
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: playing lights out. We saw what I wanted to see

676
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: from him last week, which is aggressive. Derek Carr the

677
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: thing that we have been missing, the reason I found

678
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: him slightly bland. It's it's happening. They've got the guys

679
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: to throw to. This makes this game highly interesting to

680
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: me because the offense is transforming before our eyes a

681
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: little bit. Shissler, Wait a second, Shissler, you just sold

682
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: your lot on Taysom Hill. Are you coming over to

683
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: my used car lot? Are you coming over? I mean

684
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: I'm driving by the car lot and taking a look

685
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: at what's you know, what's on stock, and I'll and

686
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: I may wander over there during my lunch break. Some

687
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: great quarterback players there. I'm with you, Mark, and you

688
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: mentioned the one interception this year that to me showed

689
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: the maturation of Derek Carr. It was against the Chiefs.

690
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: It was on third and one. They decided to go

691
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: for it and at the part of the field you

692
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: can live with an interception. He got aggressive. It didn't

693
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: work out, but I'm with you. I saw them going

694
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: deep down the field in situations where they normally would

695
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: run it. Now can they do it week after week?

696
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. You're giving all this credit to the

697
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: Raiders defense because they had a good second half against

698
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Well, they played in the first half two

699
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: and they stunk in that. I mean, they gave up

700
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: a ton of To me, the biggest mismatch in this

701
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: game is when the Bucks have the ball and their

702
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: offensive line goes up against the Raiders defensive line and

703
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: you hand the ball off to Ronald Jones or you're

704
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: protecting for Tom Brady, and it's gonna be a great matchup.

705
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: As you said, you know when the Raiders have the ball,

706
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: But when the Bucks have the ball, I trust the

707
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: Bucks offense a little better. They're just getting to going.

708
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean they're at an elements. Godwin's healthy again, Gronk

709
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: is doing a little uh. Everyone is playing a little better.

710
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: And that's why I feel as confident as all years,

711
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: which is why I'm probably gonna ruin my undefeated locks record,

712
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: because one once you feel yourself a little bit, you

713
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: get it wrong. I'm locking up the box. There it is.

714
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: I love it and also not a surprise. You know,

715
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: we work together so much. I know we all know

716
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: who we like and don't like. Greg's never gonna be sold.

717
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: He's never coming to the used car lot. So he

718
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: saw that great performance against Kansas City is ultimately a mirage.

719
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: Like in Las Vegas, the tall casino building. Well, I

720
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: mean Dan his nickname is used car lot. I feel

721
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: like that's that's pretty rough. And he's gonna you can

722
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: only go with one like weird nickname per game. And

723
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm riding the bulls assance right now. The Todd

724
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: Bowls defense. And how about Carlton Davis. He shut down

725
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. He can do the same. We'll see to

726
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: Henry Rods. And if you do that, then this Raider's

727
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: offense not not as good. Some people are just better

728
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: as defensive coordinators. There was no balls assance with the Jets.

729
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: I can tell you that. Um all right, snakes the

730
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: old suser. So let's uh stay. So that was Sunday

731
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: night football. How about a little Monday night football the

732
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. You're gonna be busy at night. The Los

733
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. You guys, put your feet up, enjoy your

734
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: night off, because I got this another good game. This

735
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: is a good week. This is a good week in

736
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: the National Football League, in our league. The Bears. Nobody

737
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: respects the Bears. They're five and one, though, I mean,

738
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: at what point does that change? Are they just one

739
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: of those teams that nobody ever kinda gives love or

740
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: takes seriously, and then they're eleven and five and hosting

741
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: a home game in January? You know what? They might

742
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: be that team, but go show me, show me here

743
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: in prime time. Now. The Rams are a good team.

744
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: The Rams are not a great team. They're coming off

745
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: a frustrating primetime loss in Week six against the forty nine.

746
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: Is I still like the Rams? Don't love them, don't

747
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: think they're a powerhouse. So if the Bears are actually good,

748
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: capital g good, this should be a game that they

749
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: could hang in and potentially even win, And that's what

750
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: it's about. We talked about it. Market defense is kind

751
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: of like an extinct species in the NFL. Well, the

752
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: Bears are kind of like this exception where they're winning

753
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: with their defense and they're getting turning the ball over

754
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: and they're getting just enough quarterback play. I don't think

755
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: it's sustainable for as a Super Bowl contender, but I

756
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: think it's sustainable in Week seven against the Rams. What

757
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: do you guys think? Yeah, I think. I mean the

758
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: Bears have come to us from nineteen seventy two, and

759
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: I think their style is atypical to what most fans

760
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: um would prefer to see. I think that includes some

761
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: Bears fans too, or mystified that the offense seems to

762
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: constantly be going in reverse. But they're five and one,

763
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: and if you look at what they did against Carolina,

764
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: I mean the they uzz old uh Teddy Bridgewater, who

765
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: has been pretty good this season. I mean interception on

766
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: the first drive, interception on the last drive, caused to

767
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: fumble right in the middle of the game of Mike Davis.

768
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: That was the game right there. I mean, that's the

769
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: way they want to win. They want to win these

770
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: games like twenty nineteen, and I think they can do it.

771
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean my concern is that I don't know, We've

772
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: been watching football for like three decades, like there have

773
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: been like six Bears teams that went twelve and four,

774
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: stellar defenses and questionable quarterback play, and there one and

775
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: done typically in the playoffs. Or do they go to

776
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and play the cults and operate in

777
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: one of the most boring Super Bowls in our life

778
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: in the downport So I don't know, flip the coin,

779
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: or or they get a Coach of the Year award

780
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: that you totally forget, Dick Duron Coach of the Year,

781
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: Matt Neckach of the Year. It's a similar team, um,

782
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: and the defense is going to keep them in this game,

783
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: partly because their secondary is so good. And we know

784
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: Kleio Mack and Akiem Hicks are good. But I don't

785
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: think Kyle Fuller has been getting enough love this year

786
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: or Eddie Jackson. Those two guys are dynamic, and Kyle

787
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 1: Fuller had a year a couple of years ago where

788
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: he was an All Pro type layer. He is playing

789
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: at that level again. So whether he's matched up against

790
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: Robert Woods or Cooper Cup and then you've got Eddie Jackson.

791
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: They're not even thrown at him anymore. He's complaining about that.

792
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: It's a really great defense. And they are a different offense.

793
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: I will say with Nick Foles, if nothing else, they've

794
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: changed how they're not succeeding. And now they're really pass heavy.

795
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean they were really run heavy with Mitch Drabinsky.

796
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: Now they're really passivy. I think that's the way to

797
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: go because Foles makes a couple of plays every week

798
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: and you look at David Montgomery and there's just not

799
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of juice in that running game, not of

800
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot of explosion there. I just don't know if

801
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: that matches up well with the Rams. When I when

802
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: I think the Rams, I think you attack their weakness

803
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: in terms of the run defense. They've got some good

804
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: players in the secondary. Can the Bears moved the ball

805
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: because they are definitely like a pass heavy Matt Naggy,

806
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to be like Andy Reid type of team. Now.

807
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: One thing that jumped out to me just looking at

808
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: some numbers ahead of this game, Uh, the Rams are

809
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL and points per game on offense. Well,

810
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: it looked it feels that way watching their games sometimes

811
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: it's like there's also there's been a general feeling that

812
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: they've gotten better post Todd Gurley, and well, they're much

813
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: better per play, you know, they're they're having these games

814
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: where there's not a lot of plays, there are a

815
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: lot of running. I mean, they're they're one of the

816
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: most run heavy teams in the league, and until last

817
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: week they were super efficient passing, but then that fell apart.

818
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: We haven't seen them do it against anyone but the

819
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: NFC stuff that that's a that's worth pointing out. Yeah,

820
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: who didn't like the lack of connection between Cup and

821
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: in golf last week? I mean that that that kind

822
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: of frazzled them and messed them up. Why do I

823
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: keep saying frazzled on the show? I don't know. I'm

824
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: frazzled that you're saying frazzled so much. But I they're

825
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: usually spot on Cup and golf. I expect that to be. Um, okay, who,

826
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: let's pick this game real quick. I'm curious about this one.

827
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: I got the rams in a close one. I don't

828
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't like what I'm seeing where they're a heavy favorite,

829
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying. But I do think

830
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: the Rams sneak it out. Rams. I think the Bears

831
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 1: win again, and everyone is like quietly annoyed by it,

832
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: just like except for Bears Twitter. Bears Twitter has taken

833
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: over them. In Patriots, Twitter would be in the Super

834
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: Bowl of of annoying Twitter, of of getting in my mentions.

835
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: I I see you, Bears Twitter. Yeah, maybe the Bears win.

836
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: They can get into the top ten of the power

837
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: rankings too. You know, just that's what that's inside the building.

838
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: That's what they're pushing for. That's the motivation. Right up next, Greg,

839
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: you're on the clock. Oh boy, all right, let's go

840
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: to another early game this week. I know this sounds crazy,

841
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: but I am intrigued to see Washington Dallas, um just

842
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: out of morbid curiosity. Morbid curiosity because this game matters

843
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. And man, I haven't seen a

844
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: week as ugly as it's been in Dallas. And I

845
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: look at this Washington team and I think they look

846
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: at what Kyle Allen did last week, and I think

847
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: they convinced themselves. You know what It's like. I know

848
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen had that fumble, but he did have the

849
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: drive right afterwards. He did make plays and I think

850
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: their offense ran a little better. Hey, we've got a

851
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: top ten defense right now. I really believe that Washington does. Uh.

852
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: Dallas is replacing their offensive line again, like they're missing

853
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: their left their their replacement left tackle is out. Like

854
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: this is a very winnable game for Washington, even if

855
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: it might not be very pretty to watch. I mean,

856
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: the pressure on Andy Dalton last week and just the

857
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: tackle play. I think interior of the line was okay,

858
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: but the tackle play was a disaster. Yeah. I don't

859
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: think you want to go into games and have Andy

860
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: Dalton throw the ball fifty four times. That just that's

861
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: not a formula that's ever really worked with the Andy

862
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: Dalton family line um Cowboys to me. I mean, and

863
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: you just the reports coming out this week. I had

864
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: one friend that's kind of close to the team saying

865
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: that the players a while ago work. We're saying that

866
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: this defensive scheme was too complex. And you've heard that

867
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times, like Rex Ryan's defense got that

868
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: buff flow where like you're in week six and the

869
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: players aren't playing off instinct and the Dallas defense has

870
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 1: like these interesting parts on paper. I mean you'd say

871
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 1: that someone like Layton vander esh coming back would be

872
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: big for him and for Jalen Smith, and Jalen Smith

873
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: is being paid a lot of money and is not

874
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: playing the way he has in the past. I just this,

875
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: This feels like I don't want to like overreact, but

876
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't even think it is overreacting. And Dan, I

877
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: think you mentioned this too, but I had the same feeling,

878
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: like Mike McCarthy is he here next year if this

879
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: thing continues to spiral this way? Or is Mike I

880
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: would put it this way, Is Mike McCarthy willing to

881
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: remove some of his friends from this staff upon further review?

882
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a disaster. When the Cowboys players

883
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: are talking this way anonymously, Um, it's still October. That's

884
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: a car crash. Yeah. I mean, Jerry just turned seventy eight,

885
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: and if this thing truly goes off the rails and

886
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: there's a mutiny, I don't see why he wouldn't just say, Okay,

887
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta try this again because I will

888
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: have this talented core and I can't waste potentially two

889
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: years with Mike McCarthy if he doesn't have this team

890
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: believing in him first place. Cowboys. I know people keep

891
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 1: on saying that with this NFC, all these NFC East teams,

892
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: but does it ultimately matter if they're terrible and the

893
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: organization is drowning? Because what does it mean even getting

894
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: to play January game if you have all these problems.

895
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: Now that said, I don't love Mike McCarthy, and um,

896
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,959
Speaker 1: I also don't think the Cowboys are gonna completely death

897
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: spiral here. I don't think they're gonna go four and twelve.

898
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people that want to

899
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: see that because it's sometimes fun to watch the world burn,

900
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: to watch America's team burn. But the Washington football team

901
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: they lose every week now and we can talk about

902
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: how great their defense is, but they're losing every week.

903
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: And Kyle Allen, listen, that's a guy I don't believe in.

904
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: Uh So, as much as like the world is on

905
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: fire for the Cowboys, you know, some people could go

906
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: and lock up undefeated teams and feel like, you know, Okay,

907
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: looking in the mirror, I'm gonna be the guy that

908
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: locks up the Dallas Cowboys. Oh my god, the road

909
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: coming off a hideous Monday night loss on a short

910
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: week during a mutiny, so you could pick your Russell

911
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: Wilson's Uh, Sessler, give me America's team to get back

912
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: on track. Hold on. I mean at this point, these

913
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: little slings and arrows, I am totally impervious to them.

914
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 1: If we were to go look at your lock record,

915
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: it's stretching into last season. There are some unbelievable cock

916
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: it up where you're in a home with no mirror.

917
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: There isn't there isn't even a mirror on the this

918
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: is this is a bald one. I mean if when

919
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: you can go against Kyle Allen, uh, it's bold Now,

920
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 1: I actually do think it's bull Kyle Allen five drives

921
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: last week, ten plus plays. I I don't know what

922
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 1: you're seeing. You know what I'd be worried about with

923
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: Dallas though? Is there? Is it? It's their stars that

924
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: like get you worried, Like Zeke is still there and

925
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: isn't he that? I'm totally with you, Gregor, but can't

926
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: you see Zeke he's an All Pro star? Or his pride,

927
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: her people are doubting him. Can't you see two yards

928
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: from Zeke? Can't you see it, I start all I want.

929
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: All I think about when Jane Slater, you know, does

930
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: these reports, is like, all right, who is it? Like?

931
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: Who's who's feeling comfortable enough to just bury it? It

932
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: definitely feels it definitely feels defensive minded because the offensive

933
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: staff is pretty similar to a year ago. So you

934
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: start thinking about, all right, who are the big stars

935
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 1: on defense? Things aren't going well, And I think it's

936
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: a reminder to the Dallas coaches, you know, return those

937
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: Jane Slater texts. You don't give her the respect, you

938
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: take some heat, She'll slay you. All right? Up next,

939
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, all right, well I get that. You know

940
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: the qu rating has tumbled below earth surface at this point,

941
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: but I'm going Cleveland, Cincinnati. I left it for you.

942
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: That's the game I wanted, but I assumed we're not allowed.

943
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: You know, that's the game I wanted. But I just

944
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: assumed we're all afraid of you. Oh, I you know,

945
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: not there yet. I know that, Dan Is. I've taken

946
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: the Jets two weeks in a row, and it's literally

947
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: lowered my enjoyment of um human life. So I'm not

948
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: going down that road again. But I am gonna stick

949
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: with Cleveland here, but you have to. I think the

950
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: thing is, if you're a Browns fan, like, there's a

951
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: lot to be excited about foundationally that I think Kevin

952
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: Stefanski has shown through his kind of even keel demeanor

953
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: week after week, uh, that he is someone that I

954
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: think is going to be around for a while. The

955
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: front office is not battling with the coaching staff for

956
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: the first time since I was like eighteen years old,

957
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: So that's something positive. But you are clearly looking at

958
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: a team that it has a defined ceiling and it's

959
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: within your own nasty division. You've got Wall at thirty

960
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: eight points, you allow to the Ravens, thirty eight to

961
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: the Steelers. The defense is messy, and it's if if

962
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: Myles Garrett is taken out of a game to any extent,

963
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: they've got nothing to hang their hat on. I mean,

964
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: I I really like Denzel Award the player, but he

965
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: has not played up to what I've seen in the

966
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: past from him. Their secondary has been a huge mess,

967
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: and I started with the offense, like Baker Mayfield. Look,

968
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to believe in Baker Mayfield. I

969
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: want Baker Mayfield to be treated with patients because he is,

970
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: like some other young quarterbacks in his fourth scheme, multiple

971
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: coaching staffs, you know, a lot going on around him.

972
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: But I have to look at his play and say,

973
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: this is someone who is locking up. There is a

974
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: play last week and it's the Mike Fitzpatrick interception. It's

975
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: a few others too where he it seems pre snapped,

976
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: is locking onto his target and come hell or high water,

977
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: and it was hell last week. He is going to

978
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball to that player. And and the problem

979
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: there is you're not seeing Mike Fitzpatrick in that equation.

980
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to, you know, diagnose what Baker

981
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: Mayfield is seen or not, but it just looks to

982
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: me that he is not able to visualize the field

983
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 1: and he's had he's struggling too. There was a play

984
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: last week where Jarvis Landry, who talked about the fact

985
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: that he played with a broken rib after the Cults games,

986
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: so that's not helpful. Was wide open though, between a

987
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of a bunch of Steelers defenders

988
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: wide open and Baker just didn't see it. And it's

989
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: a it's a throw that someone who's more advanced inside

990
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: a scheme would see he was punished. And so if

991
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: you can get to Baker Mayfield, and now you're looking

992
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 1: at the Ravens, who just signed Yannick Nagakway, the Steelers

993
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: and Ravens are basically the teams they cannot get to.

994
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: I do trust them because last time Cleveland got killed,

995
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: it was Cincinnati the next week, and it's like all

996
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: these Browns they are under a lot of pressure to

997
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: show up and play crisp football against the Bengals, and

998
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 1: they did. They played their best game. But Nick Chubb

999
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: is not there now, and everyone's saying, oh, you don't

1000
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: have Clean Hunt. You're You're don't have Nick Chub, You're

1001
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: fine ause you have Cream Hunt. I just don't buy

1002
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: into that Nick Nick Chubb is it totally different type

1003
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: of runner. Who is Cleveland Browns football to the course.

1004
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: So I am a little concerned in general about this season.

1005
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: I don't like teams that are just wild card fodder

1006
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: that get beaten up by a better organization. But it's

1007
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: a big step for Cleveland to be four and two

1008
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: right now and not two and four. I think I

1009
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: figured out a formula. When Mark is nervous about the

1010
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: Browns the monologue goes longer, and it's if you're just

1011
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: kind of like downloading all these self doubts and all

1012
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 1: these things in your head right now. And that that

1013
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: was that was a big one. You know what, I'm

1014
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: gonna say something Mark too much on Twitter on Sunday. Oh,

1015
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: same old Browns, the Browns, so they still suck and like, no, man,

1016
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean that was a tough game. Your quarterback is

1017
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: banged up and you're on the road against the legit

1018
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender. You got your ass kicked. That happens sometimes.

1019
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: Now here's the test though, because if it's I know,

1020
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: I understand. But that was also Week one and that

1021
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: was the Ravens. Here's the test to me. Don't don't

1022
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: get beat now in Cincinnati, because then you are the

1023
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: same old Browns. Then it's like here we go and

1024
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: you cut a month from now and they're four and

1025
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: six or something like. Get the get the ship going

1026
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: in the right direction again, and don't let negativity build

1027
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: because with teams like the Browns and other downtrodden franchises

1028
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: in the history, once that negativity starts to get way

1029
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,439
Speaker 1: down the it sinks quickly. So get the w get

1030
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: back on track, and I think this is a winnable game.

1031
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Cincinnati is not a powerhouse by any stretch.

1032
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: They're not, but I think it's a big time test.

1033
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: I suspect Mark is a little nervous about this one.

1034
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: I would be. I really struggled on who to pick

1035
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 1: in this game. I did take the Browns to win

1036
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: a close one because they have the better offensive line.

1037
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: I think they have the better coaching staff right now. Um,

1038
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: but they don't have the better quarterback necessarily, and that

1039
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: that that is worrisome. I mean to me, that's that's

1040
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: the bummer. So far out of six games with Stefanski,

1041
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: is Baker is not playing confidently, so you can we

1042
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: I we talked about him off the field, on the

1043
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: field whatever, like he's got this swag, like he has

1044
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: the opposite of swag when he's playing right now, Like

1045
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: he bails out after the first read. We saw a

1046
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: lot of that last year. Mark pointed out kind of

1047
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: how he's locking onto receivers. The Bengals defense has been

1048
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: a little better this year. There they're dealing with some

1049
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: controversy after our guy Tyler Dragon formally of around the NFL,

1050
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: broke some news that Carlos Dunlop and Gino Atkins not

1051
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: too happy about getting bench lately. But this Bengals team

1052
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: is alright, Like I don't think they're a pushover, and uh,

1053
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: I think you look at that they don't, you know,

1054
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: necessarily have a quarterback edge in this game, you know,

1055
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: if if both guys are protected, I think I trust

1056
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow like a little bit more than Baker Mayfield

1057
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: right now. And Cincinnati definitely gave Cleveland a ride in

1058
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: that primetime game. It wasn't like a I know, the

1059
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: final score maybe looked like it wasn't as close, but

1060
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: they went back and forth. They had a chance there.

1061
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 1: Mark its snakes to you, Well, I'm just so happy

1062
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: that I get to continue my viewing relationship with Justin

1063
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: Herbert of the Chargers who will be hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars,

1064
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew Spot. I am telling you right now,

1065
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: I I have I don't go back and watch many

1066
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: of these games twice because there's just too much, too

1067
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: too much to deal with in life and everything what's

1068
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: going on. But I have found myself, like late at

1069
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: night checking out the Justin Herbert throws because I just

1070
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: love the way he I mean, he is a rocket.

1071
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean you can just see it. And I think

1072
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: that for the despite the Chargers record, and despite the

1073
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: fact that you know we mentioned this, they're three and

1074
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: thirteen in these close games and these one score games,

1075
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: that's the bigger issue. I think this is a playoff

1076
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: team that is begging the coaching staff to, you know,

1077
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: when they build these leads, to put the foot on

1078
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: the gas and squeeze the life out of the opponent.

1079
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: There's just something about the DNA of this team and

1080
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: we all recognize it that kind of just allows these

1081
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: opponents back in the game. And you've got a quarterback

1082
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: now that allows you to do something completely different and

1083
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: his campids struy do with his receivers. For a guy

1084
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: that didn't get a lot of practice time, no preseason

1085
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: to come in and do what he's done right away,

1086
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: I love it. I mean, and you know, Gardner minsh

1087
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: you to me, has sort of become sort of the

1088
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,879
Speaker 1: same guy every week. Uh. And it's not all bad.

1089
00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: I see some really good stuff with Gardner MINSHEUW At

1090
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: the one play that I just thought this is him.

1091
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: He was under total duress against the Lions. He is

1092
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: sort of circling between would be tacklers, but you know

1093
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: where a lot of quarterbacks would have been taken down.

1094
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: He escapes. He has that escape ability. He's slippery, and

1095
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: he underhands the ball to James Robinson who darts up

1096
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: field with it. But then a couple of plays later

1097
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: he lofts a past deep down field into coverage a

1098
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 1: little bit dangerous and it's picked off. You take the

1099
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: good in the bad with Gardner Minshew. I the diagnosis

1100
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: is this guy is going to be in the NFL,

1101
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: probably is a backup after this season for a really

1102
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: long time. I think he does a lot of things

1103
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: really well. But when you watch Justin Herbert, I look

1104
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: at my fascination at Gardner Minshew and say, it sometimes

1105
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 1: feels more appropriate to have that fascination attached to someone

1106
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: who's going to be in our life as a starter

1107
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: for like fifteen twenty years. I mean, this is uh

1108
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: mate and Taysom Hill this week Mark you have to

1109
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: eat like we're in a time where you have to

1110
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: be able to say I liked this, but now I

1111
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,959
Speaker 1: like this more and it's because of the evidence unseen. Well, yeah,

1112
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, I mean that's it's no comparison. Uh, and

1113
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna You're gonna like him more after this week

1114
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: because he's playing the Jaguars defense. I mean, this is

1115
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 1: the worst defense in the league. They're just they're picking

1116
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: up guys up the street and they're starting them that week. Uh,

1117
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: like last week Kamalaya Korea and uh, who is the

1118
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 1: other one that they signed, Jabal Shared They signed him

1119
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: like two days before the game, and then they're both

1120
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 1: committing costly penalties in the game. I mean that that's

1121
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: what happens. So this is a game that charges you

1122
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 1: would think would be able to roll up on him.

1123
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: I want to see if they can do that too,

1124
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: because a lot of positive things going on with them.

1125
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,479
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa and Keenan Allen were clearly not acent before

1126
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: the bye. They're back, they're healthy. Uh. It sounds like

1127
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna get Brian Bilaga back at right tackle. Maybe

1128
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: not Trey Turner, but their their line has been a

1129
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: huge problem. That that's good. You might get Melvin Ingram

1130
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: and Justin Jones back, two of their starting defensive lineman.

1131
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: So the Cavalry is coming and this Chargers team is

1132
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: one and four. You gotta just take care of business

1133
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: and destroy this Jaguars team. Who who is kind of

1134
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: the team. I think I overrated because of Week one

1135
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: and and even week two, Like there's always one team.

1136
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: Remember we were excited about the Bengals after one week

1137
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: last year. It's like it was Zach Taylor. This guy

1138
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: is a great young coach. I think I did that

1139
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars this year, and it's taken me a

1140
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: while to move off that off that take, but it

1141
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: has not been a good take. You mentioned Joey Bosa too, right, Greg,

1142
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: I did not okay because he played and he only played. Yes,

1143
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 1: I did what I said. He only played twenty eight

1144
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: snaps against the Chiefs. He had knee, ankle, and triceps injuries.

1145
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 1: This is a sport for tough, tough people, so he

1146
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: gets that week uh, and that will make the defense

1147
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: better as well. My my feeling of the Chargers because

1148
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: I liked the Chargers too, maybe a sneaky team of

1149
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 1: a t N candidate here. Um, I have them higher

1150
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: than any one in four teams should be in the

1151
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: power rankings because you just like everything about them except

1152
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: for their record and their ability to close out games.

1153
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: So you look at where they're at right now. You

1154
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 1: know they won sixteen thirteen in Week one with Tarad

1155
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: a game that Randy Bull helped them out with, but

1156
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: since it was a three point loss to the Chiefs,

1157
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: a five point lost to the Panthers, a seven point

1158
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: loss to the Bucks, and a three point crusher to

1159
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: the Saints. So go ahead, like Greg said, go spank

1160
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,959
Speaker 1: the Jaguars who stink, and get to two and four,

1161
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: and then you go to Denver and you see what happens.

1162
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: But do not do anything. Do not give us a

1163
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: Chargers moment against the Jaguars at home. That would be

1164
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: a disgrace. And then we will we will spit venom

1165
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: at you Chargers here at the nonsense. Yes, you do

1166
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: not want to listen to the Sunday Night Show Chargers

1167
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: fans if your team lays an egg against the Jags

1168
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: in a big spot in week seven. All right, up

1169
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: next is Greg Rosenthal. Alright, I'm gonna take the Lions

1170
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: Falcons here. There aren't many games left on the board,

1171
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: and I I am a little intrigued by these two teams.

1172
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I'm annoyed there laying each other.

1173
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,479
Speaker 1: Maybe it's good they're playing each other. I want to see,

1174
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: like which one is gonna be a little friskier, uh

1175
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: down the stretch here or at least through the mid season.

1176
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: Because the Lion's defense came out. They they bawled out

1177
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: last week against Jackson. I'm not gonna take anything away.

1178
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: I know the matchup was good, but the energy and

1179
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: the aggressiveness, the game plan, it was pretty awesome. And

1180
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: the Falcons were even more impressive. I mean, it shouldn't

1181
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: be that surprising that getting Julio Jones back and Julio

1182
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: Jones looking like Julio Jones makes a huge difference, you know,

1183
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: it does. Like he's back, the secondary is a lot healthier.

1184
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: It gives them more options defensively for Raheem Morris. I

1185
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: thought that their offensive line in Atlanta, which has been

1186
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: a trouble spot for really the entire dan Quinn era,

1187
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: now Raheem Morris has actually had its best year and

1188
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: they're okay, Like they kind of fixed that problem. They

1189
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: should be able to put up some points and I'm

1190
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: curious if they're gonna be dangerous down the stretch. I

1191
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: kind of like the Falcons in this game, even with

1192
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: Detroit coming off a pretty good performance against Jacksonville. I

1193
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: really like seeing DeAndre Swift be what I think they

1194
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: the beginnings of what they thought he could be. And

1195
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: and I hope his his role just continues to increase.

1196
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: And you know, Adrian Peterson, we get it, Hall of Famer,

1197
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: but I mean, DeAndre Swift is why I got on

1198
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: this Detroit Lions thing in the start. I don't trust

1199
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: their defense a lick though, And I see this is

1200
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: like another rampant shoot out, which you know, shootouts used

1201
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, there's two of them a week,

1202
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: and that's the game. You gotta go. Now it's like

1203
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: eight eight games a week seemed to be these shootouts

1204
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: because defense is apparently decided not to show up in

1205
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: you trust the Lions though, to shoot it. That's where

1206
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: too against I do against the Falcons defense. Yet I do.

1207
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say week to week, but the Falcons defense

1208
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: seems to be like a gigantic open barn door that

1209
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: just says, you know, bring the whole family in, bring

1210
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: all the animals and pets in, and have your way

1211
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: inside our barn. Two and three the Lions are and yeah,

1212
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: the Matthew Staffard mathf what a barn that would be Yeah,

1213
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: the Matthew staff Or was playing before the back injury

1214
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: last year. If that guy was playing um for the lines,

1215
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: maybe they're above five right now, so they kind of

1216
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: need him to jump his play a little bit. The Falcons.

1217
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: I still I just you kind of feel it, or

1218
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: at least I do that this is a team that

1219
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: is ready to hit the the old dynamite thing. What's

1220
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 1: the thing that you know? Here's the thing though, I mean,

1221
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, they played as well as any team in

1222
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: in Week six, but I don't want to put too

1223
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: much that Raheem Morris solves their team. But they put

1224
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: the bank thing on those Vikings. It was thirty three

1225
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: to seven with a couple of left in that game.

1226
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: Another disaster show though that I'm just saying. It was

1227
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 1: like that was an impressive one week performance. Let's see.

1228
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: And how about your boy young Waiku? Let coup into

1229
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: the Kicker club with some of the stalwarts. He's sitting

1230
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: fifty yards now. His story that he's now carving out

1231
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: a real career is pretty surprising based on where he

1232
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: started with the Chargers. That's that's no joke. Yeah, he's

1233
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: had he's having a nice here. Have we mentioned that

1234
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: kai for Bath is signed with the Rams. Now, wow,

1235
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: he's got to be a prime time Maybe you don't

1236
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: know if he's starting. They're not announcing that yet. What

1237
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: was the sandwich prop that you had that he would

1238
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 1: he would hit a game winner in a regular season game.

1239
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Let's check in with the great Nick four tier go

1240
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: get my lunch dot org. The old zeuser said, Well,

1241
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: the old juer also said the Jets enter Week seventeen

1242
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: with a mathematical path to the playoffs. But the old

1243
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: juser also in kai for Bath hits a game winning

1244
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 1: field goal within the final minute of regulation or o

1245
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: t gree sandwiches on the line. He's not on the

1246
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: team at the time. He's been working out like crazy.

1247
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: He's been on a couple of practice squads. The Rams

1248
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: have a kicker that's far inferior to Greg the leg

1249
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: who's in Dallas now, So maybe maybe it actually happens.

1250
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: That's a little kicker sidetrack there. Anything else? Oh My

1251
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: point was, yes, they might score points with Matt Ryan

1252
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: and healthy Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, but it just

1253
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like the Falcons and Arthur

1254
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Blank another owner that's getting up there in age. They

1255
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: might be looking for the next stage of whatever the

1256
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: organization is at this point, and it makes for a

1257
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 1: fascinating offseason if Matt Ryan and I know there's all

1258
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: sorts of salary capitalications involved there, but Julio Jones like

1259
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: these are guys both on the other side of thirty

1260
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: for an organization that really needs a fresh start. We'll

1261
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: see what happens. But it was nice to see both

1262
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: of those guys ball out in Week six. And for

1263
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: no out of the reasons that you know, Falcons fans

1264
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: and teams that are root for winless, bad franchise this

1265
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: it's nice to have a nice sun to every once

1266
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: in a while. They just they just ate a big game.

1267
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Seven Braves l too. It's Atlanta's is a tough sports stand,

1268
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: tough sports. It's nice Dan because Dan just doesn't want

1269
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: another team taking that number one pick away from the Jets.

1270
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: So it's you know, whenever you can get a win

1271
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: in there for you. I mean, they were never going

1272
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: to be that's a one in fifteen team, the Falcons.

1273
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I don't I never thought of him as a real

1274
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 1: risk in that realm um, all right, I'm up. The

1275
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs Broncos still there. Yeah, I didn't want another late

1276
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: afternoon game distracting me from Look at that. What a

1277
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: value add for the old juser and the biggest of

1278
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: all spots Chiefs at Broncos. Uh Yeah, sign me up

1279
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes on a Sunday and I get to

1280
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: really watch closely this Denver Bronco team that the scientists

1281
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Chris Westling and Greg Rosenthal continue to salivate over as

1282
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: a team. It's far better than their record indicates. And

1283
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: they're under the radar. I'm not saying they're not. I

1284
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: trust you guys, you're the scientists. Um So I just

1285
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: wanna watch them against the top team like the Chiefs

1286
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: are and see if they can hang uh in this game,

1287
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: because if they do, you guys are absolutely right and

1288
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: um uh that's fun to me. So to see how

1289
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: does this defense contain or attempt to contain Patrick Mahomes.

1290
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: Levyan Bell I assume is going to be in the

1291
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: mix and some capacity for the Chiefs, which is very

1292
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: interesting because uh, Clyde Edwards Hilaire played so well on

1293
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: Monday night. Uh and they even got a good play

1294
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: from their backup running back blanking on his name the Chiefs.

1295
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: B Thompson. Yeah, yeah, he he had a touchdown Darryl

1296
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: Williams and he ran the ball well. So you have

1297
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: a backfield that was starting to gel and now you

1298
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: bring in Levy on how how does he work into

1299
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: the mix. So I'm interested to see that and I

1300
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: want to see if the Broncos are for real, as

1301
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, a team that's better than people realize. I

1302
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: think they're gonna test mahomes as patients and Andy Reid's

1303
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: patients and their frustration level with all these teams approaching

1304
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: them the same way, because the Broncos are set up

1305
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: in a very similar way to me defensively as the Patriots,

1306
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: the Raider and the Bills in terms of that they

1307
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: can play coverage, that they're really smart in the back end,

1308
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: that they can let you run, except they're better at

1309
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: doing that, like they do it every week. And and

1310
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: the reason I'm so high on them, Dan is because

1311
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: they're so well coached. They're a little thin on talent defensively,

1312
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: but Bradley Chubb's playing like a superstar and Fangio co

1313
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: coaches up that secondary really well and they're they're they're

1314
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,439
Speaker 1: sixth in D v O A. And where I could

1315
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: be wrong, but where the excitement comes from is the

1316
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: playmakers on offense. I thought Drew Lock played pretty well

1317
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: last week. Um those two interceptions were unique. One was

1318
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: a miscommunication, the other was an incredible play by the Patriots.

1319
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: And he made a lot of good throws that players

1320
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: didn't come down with. And maybe it's because I'm a

1321
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: Patriots fan with a bunch of guys that have no

1322
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: juice to watch on offense. And you look at the Broncos.

1323
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: You add Philip Lindsay back in the mix, juice, You

1324
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: add this rookie tight end Albert Oh. I don't know

1325
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: how to say his name. He's got a lot of juice.

1326
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: You bring Cambler this week, love his route running juice.

1327
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy juice, Melvin Gordon's coming back juice juice. You

1328
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: know it's like no a fan might be back this week.

1329
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot of offensive speed. They remind me of

1330
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs a little bit. Now. They don't have Patrick Mahomes,

1331
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: but poor man, I'm just saying in terms of their

1332
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: team speed and the guys around them, a young group.

1333
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: They're fun. I love the Broncos in this game. To

1334
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: keep it close. You are you are you saying Greg

1335
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: that the Denver Broncos are in fact the team that

1336
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 1: is truly younger. They are, They're gonna it's a tough

1337
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: spot the Chiefs on a short week UH Division opponent

1338
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: going to the altitude. I think it's a tough spot.

1339
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm totally wrong now, I think, Greg. I I

1340
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: think watching that Patriots game, and I know that the

1341
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: Patriots line was banged up, but like Anthony Chikolo created

1342
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: total havoc, I mean Bradley Chubb created total havoc. The

1343
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: defense is for real, and I mean they're they're obviously,

1344
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: um exceedingly well coached. I think they can cause a

1345
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: problem for Kansas City. And I love all the offensive

1346
01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: parts too. I Drew Lock if anything is he's aggressive.

1347
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: He is willing to whip the ball down field into

1348
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: double coverage and take chances. He'll pay for it sometimes,

1349
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: and I'm not convinced he's the guy that's gonna be

1350
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: able to kind of stir the mix here and get

1351
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: all these guys like to produce. But I don't hate him.

1352
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: This this offense getting healthy is kind of scary, and

1353
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: they kind of remind me like of the charges a

1354
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: little bit where it's like, I don't care what the

1355
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: record is right now, they could go on a little

1356
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: bit of a run because they don't have like they

1357
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: their their defense is one of the better around, and

1358
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: their offense is like we're just waiting for them to

1359
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: kind of grow into what they are, and it could

1360
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: be pretty terrible. You can't kill him for losing games

1361
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: with drifts call and most of the weapons at you

1362
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: just can't. It was just bad luck. And and unlike

1363
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: some teams, they're getting those weapons back. I know. I

1364
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: Dan doesn't like this um trend here though, or this

1365
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: take by the scientists, because he doesn't he wants John

1366
01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Elway to go down and infamy good look good. I

1367
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: don't have any reason to I am not like a

1368
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Browns fan. What did John Elway do to me? Well,

1369
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:09,479
Speaker 1: he did get me in the title game, that's true.

1370
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: Maybe that's where it's all stemming from. But Anthony Chiccolo

1371
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: male Jiggolo is a pretty good nickname for somebody that

1372
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 1: is good. Better than use car lot. I mean, just

1373
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: if you're trying to compliment Derek Carr, I would just say, well,

1374
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: that's not him, that's not his nickname. That's just the

1375
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 1: where it just sounds. It sounds too it works too

1376
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: well for you somehow, you know, right, just a little

1377
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: low rent. But I got Drew Lock on Twitter on

1378
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: Sunday after those two picks, which I know the last

1379
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: thing anyone on Twitter wants to do is ever to

1380
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: say Drew Lock failed, but um it was. They were

1381
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: ill advised throws at that stage of the game, and

1382
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: it almost cost them what should have been a certain

1383
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: win against the Patriots. I mean, one was like the

1384
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: most amazing catch Jonathan Jones. I'm not going to kill

1385
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: him on I mean, I know, I know that's how

1386
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 1: it works with this guy. But that's fine. I will say.

1387
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Bencos fans got annoyed with me, and then another Broncos

1388
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: fan sent me a video of three bad drops by

1389
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 1: that Denver playmaking group that should have been big throws completed,

1390
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: including touchdowns four locks. So the numbers didn't necessarily reflect

1391
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: the way he played in that game. So I'm excited

1392
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: to see how he plays. I don't root against Drew Lock.

1393
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: That's always been misconstrued. I don't really root against John Alway.

1394
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,839
Speaker 1: It's just more like I don't love when certain figures

1395
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: just get the benefit of the doubt repeatedly, and which

1396
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: is he's had a little bit of a pass. He's

1397
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a pass for the post era.

1398
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: I'm with you, um, but that's a great game. I'm

1399
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 1: looking forward to watching it and then I will it

1400
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: snakes to the Zooster to close it out and Buffalo

1401
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: at yets. Okay, this is good. I'm fine. I want

1402
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: to see how the Bills look. I want to see

1403
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: how Josh Allen looks after two losses. And I believe

1404
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: it was six days tough, you know, tough situation there

1405
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 1: for the Bills, schedule wise, but they did not come

1406
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: out of it well, going four O four and two

1407
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: UM against quality opponents. And it it does put a

1408
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: seed of doubt in your mind about the Bills, but

1409
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I'm not in a panic about Buffalo, and

1410
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody else should be. It's a long season.

1411
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: There are peaks and valleys. They've hit a valley and

1412
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: now it just so happens that they get the worst

1413
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: team in football in week seven to get right. This

1414
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: is a classic get right game for the Buffalo Bills,

1415
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: who can kind of get brush themselves off and and

1416
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can go nuts with four total yards of

1417
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: offense and the defense which has been hemorrhaging yards. Uh,

1418
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: perhaps they can continue to do what the Dolphins did

1419
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,679
Speaker 1: to the Jets, which was shut them out. Uh. Sam

1420
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: Donald returned to practice this week for New York. At

1421
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: the time of the recording, we're not sure where he's

1422
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:55,839
Speaker 1: at um in terms of availability, but that is progress

1423
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: in that direction. So this is a very different offense

1424
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: for the Jets if Nonold's playing, because Joe Flacco quite frankly,

1425
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: uh I can't play the guitar. You know, frankly, how

1426
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: much do we really need to talk about the Jets?

1427
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean that if you watch if you watch the

1428
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:16,759
Speaker 1: Bills Jets game though in Week one, and it feels

1429
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: like a long time ago, it's actually the only Jets

1430
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 1: game of the season where in the second half they

1431
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 1: had a possession where they were in the game. So

1432
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: you would think this is a huge mismatch, and it is.

1433
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: The Bill should blow them out, But the Jets played

1434
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: the Bills closer than they've played anyone else. And uh,

1435
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: I do think you look at the Jets defensively, they're

1436
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna send the house blitzing Josh Allen because Josh Allen

1437
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 1: did not handle the blitz well uh last week or

1438
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 1: really against the Titans either, and so whether I don't

1439
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: know if that's the book out on him, but he

1440
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: got a little frazzled. And that'll be the Jets approach

1441
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: at least see if they get some interesting Why are

1442
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,720
Speaker 1: you still talking about the Jets? If you said that,

1443
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: we don't need to talk about the Jets anymore. We

1444
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: lost you and I just had to start, you know,

1445
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: right exactly, you know, couched within that that bad loss

1446
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, there was this one drive and it

1447
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 1: doesn't look particularly impressive on paper by Buffalo. This third

1448
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: team play fifty one yard drive that I thought showed

1449
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's um incredible toughness. He had a couple of

1450
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: rumbles um in that game and on that drive particularly

1451
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 1: that just this is this to me is one of

1452
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: the more fun to watch dudes who's around. Uh. Diggs

1453
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,560
Speaker 1: made an incredible grab on that for the touchdown, and

1454
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: I just think, look at this team. You lost to

1455
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They're gonna get back on track. There are

1456
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: real concerns about the defense because that was not a

1457
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 1: one week situation. I don't know how to scout teams

1458
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: when they play the Jets. I mean, the Jets are

1459
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: clearly in fire sale mill. They traded away Level, they

1460
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: released Lembell, They traded Jordan Willis to the forty Niners.

1461
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 1: Steve McClendon was traded Steve McClendon was traded, uh to

1462
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: the He was traded to the Bucks. And instead of

1463
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: like flying, he got in his car are that night

1464
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: in drove to Florida. That is instructive to me on

1465
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: how quickly he wanted out of New York. But uh,

1466
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 1: you know, more power to than I hope the rebuild works.

1467
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: Um I I what the thing? I don't like Dan

1468
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: and I don't want to hang on this river this

1469
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: so we are talking about the Jets. Then No, but

1470
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: three months from now, Jets fans that like super Supported,

1471
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: like Sam Donald, are going to drop him by the

1472
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: side of the road to get Trevor Lawrence. Like I

1473
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: just like we say, we have a lot of time

1474
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: to watch him play this year too, which I think

1475
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: is I just want to see him put in a

1476
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: position to show us who he is and like that's

1477
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: just like, what's that's what Jets fans have been waiting

1478
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: for for three years and they've never had that opportunity.

1479
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,639
Speaker 1: And what's more likely going to happen is it's gonna

1480
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 1: not happen this year, and then you're gonna be in

1481
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: a situation. Mark put yourself in the in the shoes

1482
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: of Jets management. Are you going to stick with darn

1483
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 1: Old off three years of inconsistent play and some injuries? Uh,

1484
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 1: and knowing you have to give him a second contract?

1485
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:00,679
Speaker 1: Or are you gonna have the number and overall pick

1486
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: and take this prospect that people think has Hall of

1487
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 1: Fame feeling. I get it. It's just like it's just

1488
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: pretty bad. It's bad. But that's that's where it is

1489
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: right now for this organization. All Right, Josh Allen, you Greg,

1490
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: you've you know, famously been up and down with Josh Allen.

1491
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,639
Speaker 1: Do you think, hey, by the way, Josh Allen, give

1492
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: me a break. We all like it's like, oh, everyone

1493
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: fill out the apology form and uh that like the

1494
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: one week where we're like, hey, we we gotta take

1495
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: that all this is a brand new Josh Allen. And

1496
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:33,759
Speaker 1: then like the last two weeks he's averaging four point

1497
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: eight yards per attempt. I mean, give me a break, Josh,

1498
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 1: I do, and I don't. I actually don't think he's

1499
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: been as bad as the numbers show the last couple

1500
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: of weeks. I'm with Mark, he's so tough to take down,

1501
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: and he hasn't been as inaccurate as those numbers show.

1502
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm not that worried. But I also thought the m

1503
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: v P talk was out um was was premature, and

1504
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,839
Speaker 1: that he's not going to be as consistent until proven

1505
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 1: otherwise as as a true top five or six type quarterbacks.

1506
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 1: So I'm not I'm not that worried about the last

1507
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,759
Speaker 1: two weeks. You like it better when he's Josh Fallon,

1508
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 1: yes or no? I mean, I like that name. That

1509
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: was fun It is funny, like none of none of

1510
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: the Bills fans like are now reapologizing back or asking

1511
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, no, that that will not come quickly.

1512
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: Al Right, before we say goodbye, I want to get

1513
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: let's get Ricky Hollywood in here, our wonderful producer who,

1514
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: first of all, congratulations, you got off the schneide, the

1515
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 1: lock Schneide. You fearlessly locked up the team playing the

1516
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:38,719
Speaker 1: Jets in Week six, The Dolphins responded with the twenty

1517
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 1: four to nil victory. We have instituted a new rule

1518
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: that is directly connected to your pick this week, Greg,

1519
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 1: do you want to let the list? Yeah, you're no

1520
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: longer allowed to pick Jet. No one that's that's fair

1521
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: can't do that. You were the only one that did it,

1522
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: uh this year. And you know, we have certain rules

1523
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: in terms of you know, whether a team is you know,

1524
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: favored by a certain amount, broken those rules. You've broken

1525
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: him as the times you've got them wrong, even when

1526
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: you broke the rules. So we've we have learned when

1527
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: you're losing in sports, you're you're someone that will start

1528
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 1: breaking the rules. As Erica furiously scribbles out Bills as

1529
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: her lock of the week, what do you got ready?

1530
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: How about this? Okay, you guys forgot to mention this,

1531
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: and maybe you did mention and I wasn't listening. But

1532
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, John Gruden was the coach of the Raiders,

1533
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: then he's the coach of the Bucks. He wins a

1534
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with them, then they fire him after a

1535
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: four game losing takes ten years off. Gruden goes back

1536
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:45,799
Speaker 1: to the Raiders. Okay, he will be the first coach

1537
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: in history. He's gonna make NFL history, facing a team

1538
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: that he previously won a Super Bowl with as a

1539
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: head coach. So I have a feeling that this is

1540
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: not just a Week seven game for him. This is

1541
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: something even more. It's a super Bowl. I think, do

1542
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: we have a lock off? Yeah? I think he's gonna be.

1543
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,520
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be pulling off all the stops.

1544
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: This game means more to him than I think other games.

1545
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,799
Speaker 1: And yes it's Tom Brady, Yes this offense is on fire,

1546
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: but I think John Gruden is up this whole week,

1547
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: can't do it prepping for this game. And this isn't

1548
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: the Jets, this is the Oakland Raiders, and I'm gonna

1549
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: lock him up. Veas did move to Las Vegas just

1550
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 1: to let you know, but I appreciate the lock here.

1551
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: That's you guys. Don't even give me one little thing.

1552
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 1: That's that's smart, Ricky. It's a lock off the bucks earlier,

1553
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: and you know you're one in five. You're five games

1554
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: back right now. The only way to come back is

1555
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 1: me to get some wrong in you, to get some right.

1556
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: So that that's a it's a smart way to attack me.

1557
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: And think about this, Ricky, think about this, Greg This

1558
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: means a lot to Greg. He doesn't like to let

1559
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 1: it be known because he likes to pretend nothing really matters.

1560
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: It doesn't I want to get ready. Part of his

1561
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: part of his salary at the NFL is he's the

1562
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,679
Speaker 1: guy who picks the games. So he picked the bucks

1563
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: and now locked them up. For you to now come

1564
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 1: in potentially win a lock off would absolutely crush him.

1565
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: And that's that's exciting for you. I know, and Erica,

1566
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: if you, I'm ecstatic if you not only you know,

1567
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: if you would have to start here by knocking off Greig,

1568
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: but if you were to come back in classic comeback

1569
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: fashion and win this entire thing, I will give you

1570
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: my child Culton. I will give him to you. I

1571
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: think you're like two weeks from being mathematically eliminated, but

1572
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: they would be impressive. All I'm saying is, you guys

1573
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 1: are giving me crop for locking up. Yeah, do you want?

1574
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: You want a seven year old boy? Yeah? Sure, he's

1575
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: he's had all of his shots. He's great. Yeah he's no,

1576
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,760
