1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Play action passed off the middle, that's intercepted. I'm gonna 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: cut our house head try on the left side, cut 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: back to the end zone, touchdown, New York Beckham on 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmages are going down to him and 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: he snacks it, put the touchdown down the field's land 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: off the rebound for the touchdown. Those were the dulcet 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: tones of Jim Nance on the call for Redskins Giants 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football. I'm Greg Rosenthal. I'm sitting with 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: Chris Westling. We're gonna start this podcast off talking about 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: the Thursday Night football game, and then we'll send it 11 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: to the whole gang who and we'll break down all 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: the week three games. But let's just start with this one. 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: Not a pretty game. Giants win at thirty two to 14 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: twenty one. Chris Westling, your your first thoughts. A game 15 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: only Odell Beckham's mother could love it is It is 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: annoying that the Giants in this game in general have 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: turned even Odell Beckham into a tough because the rest 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: of his team not too exciting. I think the difference 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: in the game was Kirk Cousins. Yeah, he actually Matt 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: Jones fumble was huge. And then Kirk Cousins two interceptions 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: and not just the turnovers, but the lack of arm 22 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: strength on a couple of throws and then not being 23 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: able to hit Jordan read On two would be touchdowns. 24 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,919 Speaker 1: He just he it was a mistake filled game for him. Well, 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: I read some puff piece that his teammates now believe 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: that Kirk Cousins no longer gets bothered by early mistakes. 27 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: You know, he kind of has the reputation of a 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: guy if something goes wrong early, it's snowballs. And I 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: was thinking, well, what what has really gone wrong for 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: him so far this season that he would be able 31 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: to prove that In the first game they scored ten points. 32 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: But it's not like he played that well. Last week 33 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: he had a clean game and that's exactly what happened 34 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: in this game. He threw a tentative past that was 35 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: picked off by Mukamara. They fell down nine nothing uh, 36 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: and Phil Simms commented on it. He didn't throw confidently 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: the rest of the night. Mean he was inaccurate. A 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: lot of his completions weren't accurate, if that makes any sense. 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: He didn't really lead his receivers um in the arm 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: strength thing. I didn't notice it as much in the past, 41 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: but tonight it was an issue, right and maybe maybe 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: it was just footwork. In terms of today, he was 43 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: not set at all. And I agree with you. I 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: think that the biggest difference was Eli Manning had a 45 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: very clean game. Really has been similar, I think other 46 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: than the mental mistakes all three games this season, they've 47 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: turned him into uh younger, inferior, boring version of Peyton 48 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: Manning where it's mostly just dnking dunk because he's always 49 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: been a younger inferior at least he used to throw 50 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: it deep every once in a while and and kind 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: of go for the you know, high risk passes, which 52 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: was not like Peyton, but now it's it's just quick passing. 53 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: You know, throw it four yards on third and eight 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: and I hope your guy breaks the tackle. But he 55 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: did it well tonight, had a nice throw to Odell 56 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: Beckham for the touchdown. They put it away enough in 57 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter that the final score was very misleading 58 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: because form to this game it was one sided and 59 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: not very filled with a lot of offense. It was 60 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: to six, it seemed like, in the middle of the 61 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and then ended up one but yeah, the 62 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: the end of the game was crazy and Kirk Cousins 63 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: ends up with three fifteen yards, the most meaningless yard 64 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: performance maybe I've ever seen. It's one of the worst 65 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: ones ever. It does show how meaningless that three hundred 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: number is. Most of it in garbage stein But even 67 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: earlier in the game when he was getting some yards, 68 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: he wasn't finishing drives. I will give a little credit 69 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: to uh, you know, my nemesis, Steve Spagnolo. He did 70 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: in the Giants defense. Not not much, but uh, they've 71 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: played decent team defense, I would say through three weeks, 72 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: considering the lack of talent, and I think their strategy 73 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: is to be like the Cowboys a year ago, possessed 74 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: the ball these long, slow, boring drives and just be 75 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: okay on defense. And that's basically what they've been done 76 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: so far. Their defense has given them a chance to 77 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: win all three games. I think it's the only strategy 78 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: they can have. Yeah, because of their person Oh, it's 79 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: just so limited on defense they have to do that. 80 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: I won't really remember this game for much other than 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: Cousins taking a step back, the Redskins as a whole 82 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: taking a step back after a promising first two weeks. 83 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: Uh there one and two. The Giants are one and two. 84 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: This doesn't make me think the Giants are some great team. 85 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: But winning ugly in the NFC East might be enough. 86 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they can hang around in this in 87 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: this NFC East race. Yeah, it looks like you know, 88 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to discredit the Cowboys, but they are 89 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: going to be a Brandon Weed and lead team. Again. 90 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: This division is wide open. Maybe eight and eight will 91 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: take it. Oh my gosh. Well that's that's a lot 92 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: to look forward to. We got a lot more exciting 93 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: games to talk about coming up this week, and for that, 94 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna send it to the best hair on the 95 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: West Coast, Dan Hansas, be Around the NFL Podcast Breaks, 96 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: good times.

I 101 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: was just thinking that, Yeah, we've I've heard that about 102 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: twelve times. So it's our own fault. We became so 103 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: lazy that we don't do any of them ourselves anymore, basically, 104 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: and then we're actually so lazy we keep forgetting to 105 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: even ask the listeners to do it for us. So 106 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: send them in a hashtag money tags I'll collect. We'll 107 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: collect them over the weekend. We'll have money. Get into this. 108 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: Greg life tip, don't blame yourself, blame someone else, deflect 109 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: and get it out there and get it on someone 110 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: else's back. Best case, someone like beneath you, either within 111 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: the office structure or just you know, societally, and then 112 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: usually will work out well for that person. This is 113 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: the Thursday, late Thursday, early Friday edition of Around the 114 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: NFL podcast. You just heard, uh the old B team 115 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: West and Greg do a recap of Giants Redskins Thursday night, 116 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: So you got that in the tank. And now we 117 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: got Sunday and Monday football and we got a lot 118 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: of games to get to. Greg b for BAFO keep 119 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: pilibustering so they can't respond to the be beautiful. I 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: don't know, um, Greg. There are thirty two teams in 121 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: the league. There are no buys this week for the 122 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: last time, uh, well not the last time, but for 123 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: the last time in the first three weeks. And that 124 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: means they're sixteen games, and uh, sixteen games one on Thursday, 125 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: done fifteen to talk about that, it was like young 126 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Bob cost is shining through right there. So we're gonna 127 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: get into all the games and uh, you know, we 128 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: might mix in some of our patent what's more likely. 129 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: That's always fun. It's the Thursday show. A right, that's 130 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: check Bagano would say, I mean that it's not chegonometry, 131 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: Dan not. You have West just beguiled. At this point, 132 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: I'm I'm almost feeling for West. So I don't know, 133 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: you want to talk about some football. It's the Thursday Show. 134 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: It's that Thursday Show. So let's talk about some games, 135 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: all right, and we'll start off in a great place, 136 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: the a f C North. A lot of competitive football 137 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: in the a f C North. And we got a 138 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: big game between the undefaced, undefeated Cincinnati ben Gals who 139 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: are looking really good. Uh, and they're taking on the 140 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, who are owing to desperately need to avoid 141 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: an oh and three start. Uh. So we have a 142 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: winless team, he gets an undefeated team. Something's got a break, right, Greg, No, 143 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean the Bengals could win and the Ravens can 144 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: lose and then something doesn't break and you're, by the way, 145 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: your season's over, right, But I guess that's true. The 146 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: Ravens would break, and uh, I think I think they're 147 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: the underdogs in this game because I think what we've 148 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: seen on a Cincinnati has been impressive. It doesn't mean 149 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: it's gonna keep up every week, but Andy Dalton's mixing 150 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: in some highlight throws which you normally don't don't see. Uh, 151 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: just the the offense that they had that West has 152 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: been talking about offseason, the ability to have Jeremy Hill 153 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: get bench and Geo Bernard comes in there, and now 154 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: you've got Marvin Jones making plays in Tyler Ifford's really 155 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: fighting of the ball. It's just it's just a lot 156 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: to deal with and a pretty good defense too. Geo 157 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: Bernard topped my top ten list this week of the 158 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: best satellite backs in the NFL. What is a satellite back? Well, 159 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: it's a phrase started by Bill Parcels to describe Dave 160 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: Meggett back in the late eighties. It's not a compliment. 161 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: It's about a back who's in space, hence satellite outer space. 162 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: He needs space to operate because he can't really power 163 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: through tackles in tight spaces. So you know, Reggie Bush 164 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: was one of the proto satellite backs sprawls, sprowls Dion Lewis. 165 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: Although I have to say on Bernard, I don't know 166 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: if he's been lifting weights or what. But they had 167 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: him running up the middle a couple of timessfenders and 168 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: he can he can do it all. It's what an 169 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: amazing COMMENTA doesn't that fly in the face of a 170 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: satellite back if he's going through a line. And for 171 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: the most he wasn't used like a satellite back in 172 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: week two because Jeremy Hill was benched, so he was running. 173 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: Is that concern you that Hill was benched? It wasn't. 174 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: It was it was ball control issues right right. He 175 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: was bench for fumbling I happened. That's Hugh Jackson though, 176 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: that he's he's lighting the fire. I mean he lost. 177 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: He lost both of them, and one of one of 178 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: them was on a pitch. I mean he's not He's 179 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: not as valuable as a guy like Dion Lewis, so 180 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to pull him off the field. I 181 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: had a I had a rough um picks week last week. 182 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: I went six and ten. It's not something that I'm 183 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: proud of. A lot of people were talking about that Damne, 184 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: a lot of buzz in the air. But I will 185 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: say this that Sandwich is gonna be good. I know that, 186 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: I know that whatever Western going down. Maybe I know 187 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: that the Baltimore Ravens have been an excellent franchise for 188 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: years upon years, and they are not gonna lose in 189 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: their building to going three against the Bangles of all teams, 190 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: this team, this is nearly a lock of the week. 191 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: I guy coming from a guy went six and ten, 192 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: But I feel really confident this game is gonna be 193 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: a Ravens victory the first one of these. I'm with you, 194 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: because we just it's not in in Baltimore's DNA to 195 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: start a season oh and three. They just don't do it. Now. 196 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: Does that mean that it can't happen? Of course No. 197 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: They did not look good against the Oakland Raiders, and 198 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: Oakland has more pieces on offense than last year's Raiders. 199 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: But the Bengals are like the Raiders times three. So 200 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: how does Baltimore suddenly find a way to slow down 201 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: that kind of an offense? That said, we look at Balton, 202 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: we look at since he's offense, and we haven't gotten 203 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton game that pops up every four or 204 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: five contests that can happen in their wayte Stadium Brashad 205 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: Perriman returned to practice this week, so that's something to 206 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. The Ravens could certainly use some 207 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: more weapons West if and we all picked the Ravens, 208 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: with the exception of Kevin Patra who is leading the 209 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: picks by the way, leading the picks so far, Greg 210 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: has not made any picks. He abandon us was a 211 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: hero pick. Now it's over, hey, West. If the Bengals 212 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: go three and oh and they bury the Ravens in 213 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: the process, where are you on the Peace Scouts already? 214 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: What eight? Eight and a half? I think it would 215 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: move up to probably a nine wow, probably because this 216 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: division is gonna be won by a nine and seventeen. 217 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: They play the NFC West as well, they eat each 218 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: other up. I mean, I don't think you're gonna have 219 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: a twelve and four team in the n f C North. 220 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: You think you think so? I think between the Steelers 221 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: and were were just saying last podcast that this is 222 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: a division that's gonna win with the Steelers are a 223 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: really good team. And if the Bengals win this week, 224 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: I think they have the pieces to be really good. 225 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: They do have Andy Dalton. I mean, it's been a 226 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: three team race for years. Maybe if it becomes a 227 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: two team race, then you get a better record. I 228 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: frankly would be surprised that either of the Steelers or 229 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: the Bengals don't win at least eleven. I think they're 230 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: both built well for the season. Well with with with 231 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: the Bengals, I it's two weeks or two weeks in. 232 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: I understand they look good. I'm not completely sold on 233 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: the whole operation going twelve and four. That's not agree 234 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: with that. John Harbaal said this week that the Bengals 235 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: are the most talented team in the NFL. Right, and 236 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: last week he said that Oakland's defensive line was the 237 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: best in the league and they did absolutely nothing. So 238 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a head game, but he 239 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: keeps throwing these lofty compliments out. But the Bengals are 240 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: very talented team. You know, Atkins looks like Geno Atkins. Again, 241 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: let's let me just say some all right, They are 242 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: very talented. They moved the ball well on offense, there 243 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: two and O. There's a lot of excitement around them. 244 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: Team of a t L the Cincinnati Bengals. No, you 245 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: can't do that over my dead body. We could record 246 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: this podcast for eight seasons that the Browns and the 247 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: Bengals will never be team of a TL. We already 248 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: talked too much about the Jets and the Browns. I 249 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: don't understand why that would have anything to do with it, 250 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: because we're supposed to shine a light on a team 251 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: that's worthy of it. The Patriots were basically the team 252 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: of a t O by the end of last year 253 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: when I add Cessler and Westland getting into him west 254 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: Let's face it, your team of a t L. What 255 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: you want from a team, it's all over the place. 256 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: It's no, I want them to be static. No, it's 257 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: the same as we went. I want the two thousand 258 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: and thirteen Panthers. It's like it's always moving around. You 259 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: have fun to watch. You have to be ahead of 260 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: the curve. There's the tooth things. I see some similarities 261 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: between your your love of you know, fin looking for 262 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: the team of at L and your look your love 263 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: for look for your love. I can't getting out. Yeah, 264 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: you know you're looking for love. Sometimes the targets changed 265 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: in there's strange rules to the games. You do have 266 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: some strange rules with women as well. It's true, I 267 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: do well. I think he's still the flawed woman thing. 268 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: And the woman's too nice, she's she must be crossed 269 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: off the list things of that nature. If she walks funny, wow, 270 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: you know you gotta have a nice posture. Alright. Moving 271 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: on the New Orleans Saints. We we gave that game. 272 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: It's too Yeah, the New Orleans Saints are own two 273 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: and uh in deep trouble, especially if our NFL media 274 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: inside Ian Rappaport report checks out that he's gonna miss 275 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: Drew Brees is gonna miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury. 276 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: For what it's worth, Breezes and the Saints out of 277 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: the out of their camp. They are not budging. They're 278 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: they're leaving the door open that he'll play against the 279 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers in Week three. Breeze quote pretty confident that 280 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: he'll play against the Panther. Is a Panther's team that 281 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: is two and o tied to the Falcons the top 282 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: the NFC South Mark. I'll start with you here. First 283 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: of all, if if Drew Brees doesn't play, is this 284 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: game gonna be even close or the Saints oh and 285 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: three and goodbye season. I don't know. Look at Carolina 286 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: as a team that's gonna like wipe people out necessarily, 287 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: so it probably would stay close. Even if Breeze plays. 288 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: He's acknowledged that his shoulder is bothering him and he 289 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have the downfield velocity. Better off with with bree 290 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: sitting at this point now right, I mean you and 291 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: then so if you are you have a talented defense 292 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: in Carolina that says this guy, We're gonna do what 293 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: they do with with with Peyton Manning. Force Breeze to 294 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: throw down field to wide receivers that they don't love, 295 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: and that's what you make them do, and that's that 296 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: would be a great strategy. It's basically what the Bucks 297 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: did in the second half of that game. And he 298 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: couldn't throw deep. The balls fluttered and they were all 299 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: over those Saints screen passes after for a while, like 300 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: they knew it was coming. I mean, that Saints defense 301 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: forced a couple of turnovers, got the ball back, and 302 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: yet you know, all they're doing is thinking and Duncan 303 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: and the Bucks they're jumping all over. I think the 304 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: Panthers could absolutely crush the Saints team this weekend, whether 305 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: Breeze plays or not. I do think they're the type 306 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: of team. They get a couple of things going, they 307 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: run the ball while their defense is playing very well 308 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: so far this year, not against great opponents. I could 309 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: see them winning this game in a white wash well, 310 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: and this is the worst defense Carolina's offense will have faced. Yeah, 311 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: fortunately this is not a great opponent. It's another one. 312 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: By the way, this is the big opportunity for the 313 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: Mr starr of the Verizon campaign, Luke McCown. I bet 314 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: if they just had the chance, some of those backups 315 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: would really shine. You know, I was thinking about what 316 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: you were saying last week, Mark with how it was 317 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: a bad choice, or you're saying on our previous show, 318 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: bad choice to have Luke McCown. You wanted someone buried 319 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: in the deep distance that would have no chance of 320 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: playing as a backup to keep your campaign safe because 321 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: there is a lot of money. But then I was 322 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: thinking about it. It's good that it's great from a 323 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: public saniangos. Everyone's referencing the commercial number one number two. 324 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: Now you enter the risk factor for Verizon, which might 325 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: play to your point, although I don't think that's what 326 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: you were getting at that. If now, if Luke McCown 327 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: plays and craps the bed, what does that say about 328 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: Verizon's backup generators? That's very bad, very bad for Verizon. 329 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: My point would be this, that's fun. You want to 330 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: get Luke McCown, but then you have to know that 331 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: the way the NFL works, he's one play away from 332 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: starting your whole million dollar ad campaign is up in smoke. 333 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: They should have at least recorded this with two or 334 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: three other quarterbacks, where once McCown's plane, next week on Sunday, 335 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: they roll in another backup that says, listen, Luke's plane here, 336 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: I am have a nice time, like you got it. 337 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: They had to have filmed this with multiple other dudes, 338 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: or else they made a fatal mistake. In fairness, Drew 339 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: Brees literally had not missed the game to injury the 340 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: entire time. He is with the Saints for ten years. 341 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: So so that's how you do that. We're gonna put 342 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: a million dollars because this guy can't get hurt. We 343 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: know that. I mean, that's not how you do advertising. Greg. Sorry. 344 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: I bet if they just had the chance, some of 345 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: those backups would really shot. I forgot, Yeah, I forgot. 346 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: One of Mark's seventeen thousand jobs before he started here 347 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: was as an ad executive. Well it was. It's just 348 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 1: common sense. The guy that already got like a Cleo 349 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: and has been celebrated within Verizon's walls. Sunday after it 350 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: will be sitting on the top deck of the parking 351 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: structure Verizon Headquarters, sitting on the roof with a bottle 352 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: of whiskey and having like the radio station on for 353 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: the game, just looking out at the horizon and thinking 354 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: about his kids college fund, thinking about did his wife 355 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: ever marry him for money? Or oh yeah, Drew Brees, 356 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: he can't get hurt, sick, a lot of pressure, and 357 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: not just on Luke mccount of the Saints on Sunday. 358 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,959 Speaker 1: You're saying a Lane from Madman scenario could emerge at 359 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: the Verizon's a little That's exactly where he was. He's 360 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: in like a puddle of depression. You have him hanging 361 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: off the building. That's a little bit. Delaware's first album, 362 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: uh Sonny first albums for that group, Connor or who 363 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: Little Little teas might hear from Connor a little later 364 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: in today's show, he was the only one that took 365 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: the Saints. I don't know if he's factoring the quarterbacks 366 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: or even if he cares. I don't think Connor even 367 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: if you look at if you go on our picks 368 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: page on NFL dot com, you look at the picture 369 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: of Connor like he's literally making a face like I 370 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: don't care well, and I have some side information with 371 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: the picks, are you know do at a very outrageous 372 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 1: time of six am? And I know Gregson can do 373 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: the day before and he's right, but Connor had not 374 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: gotten them in in time, and we had to, you know, 375 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: use multiple forms of communication to try to shake Connor 376 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: out of his day off. And he made the picks 377 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: in about twelve seconds, So you might be right, he 378 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: doesn't know what he's doing, all right. Next up, the 379 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns coming off a big win. Uh. You know 380 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: they have their their backup quarterbacks steps in and just 381 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: dropping dimes from heaven. Uh two touchdowns by Manzelle. They 382 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: they pick up their first win of the season. And 383 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: now that I got the Oakland Raiders coming to town, 384 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: and people got excited because the Raiders beat the Dolphins 385 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: in Week two and was the Dolphins they beat? The 386 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: Raiders beat the Baltimore Ravens. Excuse me in week two? Uh, 387 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: so you're thinking, oh, the Raiders are good, but still 388 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: Raiders on the road. The Browns own a great spot. 389 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: Johnny Manzel gets another uh situation where you could get 390 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: his feet well wet, and instead this is what we 391 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: hear from Mike Patton. He's done everything that we've asked 392 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: Josh McKay off season, uh, and so far this year, 393 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: you know, he'd he'd earned the right to be our 394 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. We feel that that he gives us the 395 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: best opportunity to win on Sunday. And that was truly 396 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: the basis for the decision. Josh mccowne will start against 397 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: the Raiders. And and Mark, I know you're pretending not 398 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: to be a Browns fan right now, but you are one. 399 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: So I'll ask you this. This was a this is 400 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: a terrible decision by Mike Patton, right. It's it's an 401 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: overly conservative decision, you know, and I coaches are going 402 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: to see this differently than than we do. But I 403 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to agree with it because number one, 404 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 1: You're at home, and the Raiders honestly could play very 405 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: evenly with Cleveland, and I think they could win this game. 406 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: And suddenly you've taken There was some There was a 407 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: Browns fan that made a comment that he had been 408 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: to every one of them, knows well, every one of 409 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: these hideous home games, dating back to or whatever, and 410 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: that last week was the first time in like ten 411 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: plus years that he felt that something new was happening, 412 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: that he felt genuine excitement over Listen, Manziel was not perfect. 413 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: He wasn't Brett Farve in his prime, but he was 414 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: making plays. And now you put McCown in and if this, 415 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: if this game goes poorly, that stadium is going to revolt. 416 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's wasn't that guy have said that after 417 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: a lot of I mean they've had wins. I mean 418 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: Eric Mangini accounting the Patriots, or Derrick Anderson or or 419 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer getting too four and three on Thursday Night football. 420 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: It's like, I think that's the sound of a fan 421 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: that gets too carried away with one one good result. 422 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: I can understand. I get the idea that they want 423 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: to go with McCown, that they think that he's significantly 424 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: better at football than Johnny Manziel. I obviously think they 425 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: know all this about long term and everything they think. 426 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: They think it's not even remotely close that McCown is 427 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: much better than Johnny man or else they wouldn't make 428 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: And he was prepared all off season four. And it 429 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: wasn't just pett And making the decision. He talked to 430 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: all his assistance. I still think, though, from a pr angle, 431 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: they're in a tough spot. All about the locker room. 432 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to punt the season for the veteran players. 433 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: I mean, letting the count failed then bring Menzel back. 434 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: That's probably I'm not even saying that. I I agree necessarily. 435 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: Who's to say, you know, Manzel would I think that. 436 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: I think some people in the Brown's locker room believe 437 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: it would be punting. I think also if you go, 438 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: if you listen to the wording the way Petton said it, 439 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: it does feel like you it's easy for us to forget. 440 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: But they went through an entire offseason program where Manzel 441 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: wasn't even in the building the cown but is busting 442 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: his butt learning the playbook, uh, working hard, and I 443 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 1: think Petton thinks that Manzel, after everything that's gone on 444 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: with him, uh good and mostly bad, that it wouldn't 445 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: be fair to give let Manzel keep the job. But 446 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: the reason I ultimately disagree with it is I think 447 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: Manzel is the future potentially still of this French guys, 448 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: and we know Josh McCown's on the future, and we 449 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: know this isn't a Super Bowl. I don't know if 450 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 1: he's the future at all, But Manzel concerns me as 451 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback long term. But what you have to 452 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: find out and whether it doesn't have to happen in 453 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: Week three, but you have to get to the end 454 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: of this season. You're probably gonna go six and ten 455 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: no matter who's starting. You need to know if you 456 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: need to prioritize drafting another quarterback or finding one and 457 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: free to so you can't have man'zell be a mystery 458 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: going into another season. It's a great opportunity for the 459 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: Raiders too. I mean, this is one of those NFL 460 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: schedulemakers specials. This is how they promote parody. They put 461 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: two last place teams from a year ago against each 462 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: other in Week three. They give the Browns. Other bad 463 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: teams like the Titans and the Jets early, and they 464 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: kind of know someone's probably coming out of this game 465 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: having a nice little story early and one of these 466 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: two teams gotta be two and one, and I have 467 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: a lot of hope and according to all, have the 468 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: Browns at two and one after this week, with the 469 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: exception of Kevin Patra who has them the Raiders winning. 470 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: Moving on the Atlanta Falcons. Uh, they are entering play 471 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday at two and oh atop the NFC NFC 472 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: South and now they head to Big d to face 473 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The Cowboys, of course without toning Romo, with 474 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: the fracture of clavical enter Brandon Weedon, the man that 475 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: once got trapped literally under a red flag. So we 476 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: have American flag. It wasn't a Chinese flag. Well there 477 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: was red in the flag that he was. So now 478 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: Chris Westling, the Brandon Weedon era begins, maybe error your 479 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: thoughts and how this could turn out. Well, you know, 480 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: we should really turn this over to Gregg since he's 481 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: now the charter member of the Brunner Fan Club. Oh, 482 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm the charter member. Favorite quarterbacks are 483 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: on this roster now, well, some of the comments that 484 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: they said about Weedon's competing for this job, and I 485 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: told them that everyone on the roster is competing for 486 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: their job, made me think they didn't bring in Matt 487 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: Castle there to necessarily sit that they they want to 488 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: see what I think. Brandon Weeden's problem has always been 489 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: maybe he some people like what he doesn't practice, and 490 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: when gets out in the games he freaks out. So 491 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: I think he he looks great in practice, he looks 492 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: great in the preseason, and then the game start he 493 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: doesn't see the field will well, he played well last week, 494 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: and and I'm a charter member. Well I'm not the 495 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: charter member, but I think our Cowboys defense is good 496 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: enough to win some games on their own. That's that's 497 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: all I was saying, basically with Brandon Weeden that this 498 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense is off to it such. I don't think 499 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: you're wrong if we don't disagree with that. Where I 500 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: disagree is that Brandon Weeden is bad enough that he 501 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: could his turnovers could put that defense in a really 502 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: bad place. Yeah, Mark, you picked the Cowboys to win 503 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: this game. So it seems like you, who initially you 504 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: believed in Brandon long ago, are you back in You're 505 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: thinking they could do some damage at home and he'll 506 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: make enough plays for a win. Well, you know I've 507 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: mentioned this. I'm picked every home game, every home team 508 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: I picked, So there wasn't all I just said I'm 509 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: doing that this week. But you know I do I 510 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: think with Dallas. It's not that I'm over on Greg's 511 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: side of this. It's just that this game kind of 512 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: fascinates me because one thing about Weedon and he is 513 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: who he is and there's not much it's gonna change 514 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: that when you're what forty two years old or whatever 515 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: he is, But this is the first time in his 516 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: career where he isn't starting fresh with a new playbook 517 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: and new coordinator. Ever. He's been in this offset this 518 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 1: offense for a year. But it's worth wave Wilson, their 519 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach, called him the most improved player on the 520 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: roster during great players can develop, and I just think 521 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: it's not, hey, Brandon Weeden has to go out and 522 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: throw the ball forty seven times and guide us to 523 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: victory the Falcons. You know, to me, I was gonna 524 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: ask Greg if I could cover this game because this 525 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: is the most one of the more interesting games to me. 526 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: And I do think Dallas has a shot. Yes, they're 527 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: a complete team in other in a lot of other areas. 528 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: It's not like it's just on the court. And be 529 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: interested to see how the Falcons offense does against this 530 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense. Because Falcons, you know, last week they go 531 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: against the Giants. I've been impressed that they're really not 532 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: asking Matt Ryan to do much. Everything is just short passing, 533 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: easy throws. Uh, you know, then he hits the big 534 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: play to Julio Jones last week. They haven't had the 535 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: toughest of matchups here to start the season. This this 536 00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: is gonna be tougher. I think. Alright, moving on, you 537 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: know this damn internet connection here, it's a little slower 538 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: than it needs to be. In two thousand fifteen, Rock, 539 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: should we play a game? Uh? Did you have it right? 540 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: There was? I don't think you did. You did the transition? 541 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: He's back in a little bumpy and this on fire today. Jeez, 542 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: here we go. Let's play our favorite game, the game 543 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: that all the kids are talking about. It's like the 544 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: Beatles in nineteen sixty two. What more likely? What's more likely? 545 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: All right, what's more likely? Folks? Brandon Weeden, we just 546 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: discussed posts to passer rating over one hundred on Sunday. 547 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: Or Luke McCown and Josh McCown both win on Sunday. 548 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: What do you put the odds of the McCown brothers 549 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: both winning, Like, it's got to be about that because 550 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: we don't even know if Luke's definitely playing or not. 551 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: So you come in and get to win in the 552 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: sixth inning, I would I would assumes let's just assume 553 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: for the sake of argument, Luke mccount is is playing. Yeah, 554 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 1: I would give that about a fifteen percent chance. Maybe, well, 555 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: then that's the more likely one because Brandon Wheedon has 556 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: won one game and twenty one starts for a four 557 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: point eight percent average. Yeah, I'm with Wes. There's too 558 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: many the McCown brothers, there's too many variables. I'm gonna 559 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: go Wheedon because he's in He's he has never been 560 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: in this situation before. I think he's had a better 561 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: team than he ever was in Cleveland, and the Falcons 562 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: defense has been improved, but it's not the greatest group 563 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: in the world here. Uh, you know, maybe Brandon Weeden 564 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: gets a little lucky with like a eleven for thirteen 565 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: one hundred yards, two touchdowns performance. When Greg loves to 566 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: rail against passer rating, he just thinks any sort of 567 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: JABRONI you know, any one of us could roll into 568 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: an NFL field. I didn't. I'm just saying it's not 569 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: a good indication if if he had a good game 570 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: or not. So maybe you get a little lucky with 571 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: some lucky you know, completions. The number one receiver, Cool Beasley. 572 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: Gregg's like, oh, it's all about the QB R man, 573 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: it's about the QB index. Yeah, I v I, which 574 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: you could find at NFL dot com. Flash h B ranks. 575 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: So much vanity, and that's the the u r L. 576 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: That was it? Yeah, why isn't it the ranks? I 577 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: guess that's right. It comes up with the that's a 578 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: stupid vanity U r L society. Let's move on here 579 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: we go, but you should read the article. It's one 580 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: of my favorite articles. No, I beg the u r L, 581 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: not the content. The U r L makes almost no sense, 582 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: but the article does. That's the cell of it. Use 583 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: that put that on a billboard. Let's move on. Let's 584 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,239 Speaker 1: the nice match up here. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 585 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: heading to Houston to face the Texans, and listen, you 586 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: got the Texans, O and too, Bill O'Brien, we don't 587 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: have to bring it up again. But he really believed 588 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: in those quarterbacks. But they're not very good the but 589 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers had a nice bounce back performance in week two, 590 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: uh in a win over the Saints at the Superdome, 591 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: so they got some confidence. And really, I'm gonna treasure 592 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: each one of these Ryan Mallets starts. Personally, I love 593 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: each of them. I love that he did the Superman 594 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: thing when his team is down fourteen points in the 595 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I love everything about crazy Ryan mout and 596 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: I hope this goes on forever. But frankly, I think 597 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: we're seeing one of his final starts. We already know 598 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,719 Speaker 1: what orian. Here's the thing. Bill O'Brien boxed himself in 599 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: here because you can't. You can't bench your starter after 600 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: essentially three quarters of a week one and then a 601 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: conscious about He also doesn't want to look stupid and 602 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: lose the team, because you cannot that by leaving the 603 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: other guys so early. You gotta at least stick with 604 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: the replacement for I would think at least a month 605 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: or so you don't know how not to lose the team, 606 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: stick with the guy who does the Superman post he 607 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: can't after three quarters, and then bring Horyer back in 608 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: week four. I'm going back to my theory that you 609 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: just every series you put one or the other out, 610 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: you flipped all game long, and you just that's what 611 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: you have. You have two that's happened before it has 612 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: and it should happen again. You know, at the NFL, 613 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: we can't get into these sort of things. But I 614 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: I did learn that the Texans are considered heavy favorites 615 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: to win this game, which surprised me because I think 616 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: the thinking is, Okay, they're gonna get healthy here against 617 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the NFL, without considering 618 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: that the Texans are one of the worst teams in 619 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: the NFL right now that they that they have some 620 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: pieces on defense, but I wouldn't say they're dominating defense, 621 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: and the offense is bad enough to lose any game. 622 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the Buck it's a rare game. The Bucks 623 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: definitely have the better quarterback in this game. We all 624 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: that's something. Noting. Aaron Foster, by the way, still no timetable, uh, 625 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: he said he's waiting till he's a cent over under 626 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: on how many times J. J. Watt hits Jamis Winston 627 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: in his slow wind up seven. This will also be, 628 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: as I predicted owner in the week, the first offensive 629 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: touchdown for J. J. Watt. We all have the Texans 630 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: in this game, so we think they get on the 631 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: board and win a game moving the Sorry why I 632 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: mean it's a it's an automatic home run, you know 633 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: for maybe I'll forget it go on. You know, it 634 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: seems ridiculous. Why do we all pick the Texans? They're 635 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: not a very good team. Well, like, there's no connection 636 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: between who I picking, you pick. It's just sometimes it's 637 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: a coin flip games list and that's every once in 638 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: a while, I'll completely slow the show down and us 639 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: I like that, like out of nowhere, you became really 640 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: invested in like the picks there, you gotta startled. You 641 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: can change your pick, that's what you do. Now he's 642 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: taking all home teams. Maybe I'll take one away team 643 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: and all home teams like that. That doesn't have the 644 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: same The San Diego Chargers, uh, they are a one 645 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: and one football team. After two weeks. They are heading 646 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: to Minnesota to face the Vikings, and Vikings of course 647 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: got on track in week two. Adrian Peterson actually got 648 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: the ball, which was a good idea. So now we 649 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: got a big game no ragnar as we talked about, 650 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: the Vikings will be without their unofficial mascot, but Chris Wessling, 651 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: they still seem to be in a good place. This 652 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: is a nice little team in their building. Uh, the Chargers. 653 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: We like the Chargers, but the Vikings of the favorites 654 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: here right Oh, I don't think so. I think teams 655 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: that are about nine and seven, ten and six kind 656 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: of teams could go either way. Um. I think you 657 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: have to like the way Jim Peterson played last week 658 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: outside of the fumbles. North Turner was saying this or 659 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer was saying this week that he loved the 660 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: way Peterson ran, and Corey Legit, Chargers defensive end said 661 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: he's back to being a number one elite running back. 662 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: And I think he saw the Vikings defensive line show 663 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: up at home and they gotta love this matchup against 664 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers because Philip Rivers, I think is playing really 665 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: well right now. Any time their drives got stopped last 666 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: week against Cincinnati, it was basically because the offensive line 667 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: either at a penalty or they protected him so poorly 668 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: they the line got to him in about two and 669 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: a half seconds. I think he's playing fantastic or of 670 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers career pretty much, and that means and I 671 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: think this is another tough matchup for them, because otherwise 672 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good things I think about this 673 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: Chargers team. I like the child. What did you I 674 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: meant to ask you guys, because I covered this game 675 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: last week, what did you think of Melvin Gordon in 676 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: a week two? I thought he showed I mean when 677 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: he gets that little burst going, it's there aren't many 678 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: running backs that have that kind of juice to just 679 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: kind of hit the turbo. But if there's a hole, 680 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: he's explosive. He had like three plus yard rushes. Yeah, 681 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 1: I thought he's It's a fine line because he's one 682 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: of those backs that you know, when things are going well, 683 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: they're like wow, he's really patient. But then when they're 684 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: not going well, you're like go, you know, he'll just 685 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: he'll wait. He'll wait behind the line of scriman and 686 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: sometimes they'll get to him. And so he has some 687 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: big runs and he has some some problem. Has some 688 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: more big runs, more fifteen plus yard runs than any 689 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: back in the league right now. But he is because 690 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: last week he also had eight runs that were one yard, 691 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: zero yards, or negative one yards. So you're right. I 692 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: think the Chargers should look to end a story which 693 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: surprisingly isn't that big of a story, which is in 694 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: the man Titano era at this point, because they've got 695 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: about fifteen inside linebackers and Manteo is not good. I mean, 696 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: he's terrible. He cost them. He cost them every week, 697 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: and every week you're like, where did that big play 698 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 1: come from? And it's either him and coverage or him 699 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: not making a tackle. I know, we don't. We don't 700 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: all love PFF, but they had him greaded as the 701 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: worst inside linebacker was there. We were on the same page. 702 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: I think he was their best linebacker in Week one. 703 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: So all over the map, you're saying that man Teo 704 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: has a lot of potential, but it's perhaps possible that 705 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: potential doesn't even exist. That was a stretch. Got it though, 706 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: Got it though. You know what stinks is that uh 707 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: our guy Ladarius Green was finally breaking out and becoming 708 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: a consistent part of the offense. And now we found 709 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: out two concussions in a couple of weeks and he's 710 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: probably gonna be on the shelf for a while. Ouch. 711 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: We are split on this. Connor and West both take 712 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: the bolts, Mark myself and Kevin Patra take the bikes. 713 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: Moving on the jack in Ville Jaguars are one in 714 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: one uh and they are now traveling to Gillette Stadium. 715 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: They gotta play the Pats in Foxborough, and um, you know, 716 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look into the future and tell me if 717 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm crazy, uh, and I'll I'll look over the throne 718 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: of ease for the first opinion. But I think that 719 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,959 Speaker 1: the Patriots are. They look very, very very scary right now. 720 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: And I think you're gonna get a little bit of 721 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: a fifty burger dropped on the Jaguars. And after the game, 722 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be buzzing about, Oh, is this Patriots offense 723 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: the best Patriots offense ever with Tom Brady? Is this 724 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: a team that can break the points? I think the 725 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: buzz starts here because Gronk looks like two thousand seven 726 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: Randy Moss in terms of unstoppable playmaker. Well, their aggression 727 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: and like the lack of conscience that Brady has and 728 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: just them wanting to just pile points on is very 729 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. Like I, I will agree with you, 730 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,479 Speaker 1: but I don't think it will happen this week. Fifty Burger. 731 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: I think this Jags as a team defense is decent, 732 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: and well, they're not as good as the Bills defense. 733 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. And the Patriots could have put fifty 734 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: on the Bills easily, But are they gonna be as 735 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: aggressive spreading him out five wide, you know, the whole game. 736 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: Who knows, Maybe maybe they will be. I don't think 737 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: fifty points from the Patriots is too tough of an ask. 738 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it really isn't, because I think New England 739 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: is going to continue to do things that we just 740 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: see no team doing, and this is a good spot 741 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: for it to happen. I it's funny because Belichick like 742 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: went out of his way to compliment Blake Bortles, as 743 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: did Matt Patricia, the defensive coordinator. They really liked what 744 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: they've seen from him. And I think one reason you 745 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: don't get to fifty is if Jacksonville's offense finally, if 746 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: they're not, if he's not gonna get sacked all day long. 747 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,959 Speaker 1: That last week he was protected and he had the 748 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: best game of his career. I thought, Bordles when I 749 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: went back to rewatch it had one of the best 750 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: games of his career. And just you know, he's a 751 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: little like Roethlisberger, and that they go down they're not 752 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: a dinking dun offfens at all. They go down the field, 753 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: and this is the team to go down the field that. 754 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: I mean, at some point people are gonna realize it's 755 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: not a good thing that Bradley Fletcher and Doron Harmon 756 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: and Patrick Chung and all you know, and Terrell Brown 757 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: comprised this second, it's not a good secondary go after. 758 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: Here's the problem though, that the Jaguars are gonna be 759 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: down fourteen nothing before Sully finishes his first beer. And 760 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen is then the whole world's gonna know 761 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,479 Speaker 1: the Patriots or the Jaguars are gonna have to pass 762 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: and they'll be able to tell the defense that way. 763 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: I just think the Jaguars are walking into like a 764 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: terrible situation and it's gonna be ugly. And they're not 765 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: the last team to do that in Fox Pro this year. 766 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's there what's special about the Jaguars in 767 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: this situation? And again this game, Allen Robinson, good, he's 768 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 1: gonna have he'll have ninety eight yards in a touchdown 769 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: and they're gonna lose. My thirty point you'll obviously took 770 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: the Patriots and Greg, wouldn't it be awesome five eight 771 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: nine points that oh seven Patriots scored if if now 772 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: all the way in two thousand and fifteen, if Tom 773 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: Brady was in charge of another offense that that approached 774 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: that when you know, that'd be so awesome. You know 775 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: what that two thousand seven team was missing? What Dion Lewis? Oh? Yeah, 776 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 1: So we have a I wish I remembered his name, 777 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: but we have a listener that is a musician and 778 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: is recording his very own Throne of Ease music Slash Sleeves. 779 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: So I'm hoping we'll be getting that soon. He's in 780 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,800 Speaker 1: the studio. It's gonna drop soon, and it might, it 781 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: might and probably will become the new throne of ease music. 782 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: That's exciting. You guys think I'm joking about Dean Lewis. 783 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: He's off the charts number one and ps you're saying 784 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: you like Dean Lewis than any player in the NFL. 785 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: This ship. They should have dropped, well, they couldn't. They 786 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: should have signed him instead of drafted T. J. Eldon. 787 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 1: Better not fumble this week though. I know you say 788 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but it will matter, all right. Let's 789 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: move on another two and o team in the ANFC East. Yeah, baby, 790 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: The New York Jets are at home. They come home 791 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,760 Speaker 1: after a great win on Monday Night against the Colts 792 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: in Indie, and now they face a desperate Egles team. 793 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 1: Oh and too, just a dreadful offensive performance against the 794 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys in Week two, so they are in a really 795 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: tough spot. And uh, you know, I will say this 796 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 1: as a Jets fan, it's it's okay to be really 797 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 1: excited right now. We don't get to be too to 798 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: a note too often, but this does have all the 799 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: hallmarks of a classic Jets let down scenario at home 800 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: where people are starting to get behind your team and 801 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: talking him up. And now you've got an Eagles team 802 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: coming in here. Just a weird one of the weird stats. 803 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: Have never beaten the Eagles ever, oh and nine, Not 804 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: that that matters, but yeah, in the history the Jets 805 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: of the Eagles are the only team in the NFL 806 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: and the Jets have never beaten again. It doesn't matter, 807 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: but just worth noting. And here are the other things 808 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm worried about as a Jets fan. Durrell Reeves has 809 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: a scroin issue. We don't know if he's gonna play. 810 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: I assume he'll play, but he might not be himself. 811 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: Chris Ivory has a quad and a groin issue. He 812 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: seems very iffy for the game. And Eric Decker, who 813 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: who looks so great out of the slot really in 814 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: Week one and Week two, has a nice brain that 815 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: he suffered from the fourth quarter against the Cult, so 816 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: he is also iffy. Uh so you those are three 817 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: major players for them. It's just I'm a little nervous 818 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: about the game. I gotta be honest. Well, you should. 819 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: There shouldn't be any scenario at this point that I 820 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: think the Jets should be considered a heavy favorite against 821 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: anyone except for the very worst teams in the league 822 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles. I just am not ready to think that 823 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: this is a total disaster. They weren't a total disaster 824 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: in Week one. People are overreacting to one just unbelievably 825 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 1: terrible game. But the two years of Eagles offense that 826 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: we've seen I think means more than the week that 827 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: we saw last year. And I think they're gonna get 828 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: on track at some point. Why not this week? There 829 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: is a stat out there that shows Kelly's first I 830 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: think it was twenty four games in Philly are that 831 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 1: blowing the doors off offensively? But the last seven are significant, 832 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,280 Speaker 1: a significant drop off, And again, who knows what that means. 833 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: It's it's matchups in it's game to game. I don't 834 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: think people are catching up to this offense necessarily, but 835 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,959 Speaker 1: it seems like the parts involved, there's so many new parts. 836 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: They're just I'm not counting them out either, but they're 837 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,959 Speaker 1: not fresh. They're not working together well right now. And 838 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: you said it yourself, like Sam Bradford's play, what happened 839 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: to the guy who seemed kind of refreshed and aggressive 840 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: in the preseason. He's playing like ram Sam Bradford. I 841 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: think he's had only three passes over twenty yards, three 842 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,399 Speaker 1: attempts over twenty yards all in completions. Everything's been short. 843 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 1: He's throwing the running backs and tight ends, ignoring as 844 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: wide receivers. And you remember two years ago when Nick 845 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: every time you looked up Nick Foles was even at 846 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: fifty yards to Riley Cooper and blown coverage, and now 847 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: they never go downfield at all. I think one difference 848 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,479 Speaker 1: is the line, because that's that's one of the reasons 849 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: why they're not going. It's like your Bradford, who knows 850 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,440 Speaker 1: what's going on with them psychologically, but they have what 851 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: seventy yards rushing over two weeks. This is meant to 852 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: be a run heavy attack, and they just their foundation 853 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,439 Speaker 1: of their offense is not working. Is it gonna happen 854 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: against the Jets, who have the best run defense in 855 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,399 Speaker 1: the league? Jet? The Jets defense obviously is looked great 856 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: early on in terms of forcing turnovers and swarming. How 857 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,280 Speaker 1: about the possibility that another slow half by the Eagles, 858 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: and they've been terrible in the first half the season, 859 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: if they put Sam Bradford on the bench, ye mark 860 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: Sanchez in the metal lands for some revenge. I think 861 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 1: it's possible. It sounds like what's more likely? Questions So 862 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: Sam Bradford, in fact, it is should take that contract off. 863 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: Stopped all over it, stomp stomp stomps. He better take 864 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: that contract off for the Eagles gave to him a 865 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: few weeks ago. I wonder if that's still sitting out there, Well, 866 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: he's this year's Brian Hoyer. Just take the money when 867 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: they're offering it, especially in this case where it was 868 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen million dollars a year, or maybe it was 869 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen, whatever it was. I mean, getting bench 870 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 1: for Mark Sanchez if that happens at any point, I mean, 871 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: he's not going to get half of that. That's the 872 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: worst decision since even mathis has to be cut the 873 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: only how about when b J Rogi turned down eight 874 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: million a year. Who remember that bad move about Doug Maron? 875 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 1: We should be bad decision like Mount Rushmore, Doug Maron's 876 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: number one, Doug r own demanding some type of like 877 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: raised by the bills and they were like, no, see 878 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:11,320 Speaker 1: you later, buddy. And now he's the offensive. Like a 879 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 1: lot of people don't know this. When we initially um 880 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: offered the host job for this podcast to Kevin Patrick, 881 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: He's like, no, guys, going to Chicago. I gotta work out. 882 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 1: Can't conflict with my working out regiment. Takes about three 883 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: hours a week. Kenny, Mark, myself and Patrick all took 884 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: the jets Connor and West took the Eagles. I can't believe. 885 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: This is almost like an afterthought. But when you've rushed 886 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: for eleven yards and twenty one carries, uh, maybe you're 887 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: not the chief of the game plan to Marco Murray 888 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 1: has a hamstring. That's better. That's good news for the Eagles. 889 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,800 Speaker 1: Ryan Manthey's might finally play all right. And that takes 890 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: us to our next installment of morely stepped all over 891 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: this one. Abou's all right? Sam Bradford is benched for 892 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez or Ryan Matthews runs for a hundred yards 893 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: on the game green defense. I'm gonna say Sam Bradford 894 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: is benched because I thought he should have been benched 895 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter last week to give to have 896 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 1: Sanchez give him a spark or see if he could 897 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: at least give him a sport. I'm gonna say Ryan 898 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 1: Matthews because as you can tell, I'm thinking positive about 899 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: these Eagles. I think they do get it turned around 900 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,240 Speaker 1: this week, and if they put themselves in a winning position, 901 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: you can see them running the ball. Maybe he rips 902 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: off a seventy yard roder something. It's tough to run 903 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: against the Jets, but I think the Eagles are gonna 904 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,440 Speaker 1: take care of business, all right. Well, I picked the 905 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: Jets to win, and that that ties to the fact 906 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: that I don't think the Eagles gonna have to a 907 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 1: fast start. And I love the idea of Mark Sanchez 908 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: having to deal with the Jets defense that his sexy. 909 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: I like it. Let's make it happen. And I think 910 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: there's no way though, that Sam Bradford's gonna get bench 911 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 1: because the genius Chip Kelly so proud of all his decisions, 912 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,920 Speaker 1: sending off half of his offensive line, cutting all these 913 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: good players, He's not gonna admit defeat this early in 914 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: the season, even if the whole season goes down in flames, 915 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna say, Sam Bradford's my guy. This is Dan's 916 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: favorite week ever. Whenever you know the Eagles are just 917 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: a big old trash heap your Rex Ryan is my 918 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:07,919 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. Well, you're allowed to have one of which, 919 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: which it makes for a high stake Sunday afternoon for you, 920 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: because it would be a crushing loss to lose to 921 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: Chip Kelly at a point where you've got his team 922 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,399 Speaker 1: down and almost out for the season. Jan Gailey Kiss 923 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: step on the Brakes. This week, your team could be 924 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 1: the one that does rips the genius label off his chest. 925 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: You could bury that team. Think that would be you, Dan, 926 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: It's not the Jets, it's you know, that's what I'm thinking. 927 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: Weavers Chip, That's what it's all about. That's move forwards. Okay, 928 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: it's Thursday, which means it's our time for a little 929 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,840 Speaker 1: special time of the show where we have a great 930 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: man in the studio with us.

No script, he told me. 935 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 1: It's all just free freelancing. You guys don't script your podcast. 936 00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: I do feel even though it's um, you know, pull 937 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: back the curtain a little bit. We pre record those 938 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 1: around the NFL NFL Network hits. But when I throw 939 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,800 Speaker 1: it back to Andrew and he takes it from me, somehow, 940 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: the chemistry is still there even if it's not. I 941 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,399 Speaker 1: tease the podcast, Yeah you have, because you say, don't 942 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: forget where the podcast three times a week right, and 943 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: then I said, and I'll be on podcast.

All right, let's start with a 953 00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,959 Speaker 1: I like that, yo. Throw you in there, a little 954 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 1: urban the d Andrew chemistry. West and I are just 955 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 1: sitting here. It's I put in the category of dangerous. 956 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,359 Speaker 1: Is it palpable? It's uh, I don't know. You were 957 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: just learning West and I just sitting here. Just turn 958 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: off the mics of West and Mark right? Why not 959 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: just making see an end? This week when the Pope 960 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: landed and they I'm not making this up. They asked 961 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 1: someone to describe the scene and they said, this excitement 962 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: is amazing. It's palpable. It's palpable and palpable, palpable, papal 963 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: pop And it was a tongue twister, but they actually 964 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,880 Speaker 1: just said it was palpable. I'm actually not aware of 965 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 1: any news items anymore because I don't sit near you 966 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 1: in the office that you were pretty much my news source. 967 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 1: Just you blurting out random headlines, and now I got nothing. 968 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: Greg just lost in a fog. Now, when it comes 969 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 1: to current those who don't know, all I do is 970 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,879 Speaker 1: yell things. Andrew is a vessel for news of any sort. 971 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: Is all right? Why don't we start in the a 972 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 1: f C South. The big matchup here the Indianapolis Colts, 973 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: oh and two after let's face it, an embarrassing loss 974 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 1: at home on Monday night to the Jets, now they 975 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 1: take on the Tennessee Titans, and you have Marcus Mariotta 976 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: came back down to earth a little bit and a 977 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: loss to the Browns, but still reason to hope in Tennessee. 978 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, Angel will start with you on this. This 979 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 1: would they started owing to last year the calls, but 980 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: this would safely qualify as a nearly Mustlin scenario, right 981 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: I think it is, although that division still could probably 982 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,919 Speaker 1: be wanted. Not can Eate Nate win that division eight nights? 983 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,799 Speaker 1: So if eight Nate win the division, that I guess 984 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 1: it isn't a must win, but I hate to say 985 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 1: I told you so have I not been telling you 986 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 1: for two weeks? The Colts aren't any good. Oh that's true, 987 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 1: and not any good is a vast overstatement. But there 988 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 1: their deficiencies came out against a very good Jets defense. 989 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: Let's be thank you. Their deficiencies came out yet again. 990 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,240 Speaker 1: Now I don't I can't imagine them losing to the Titans, 991 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: a team they've beaten I think seven consecutive and last 992 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: year scored like sixty nine points on him in two games. 993 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: I can't see them losing this game. But there was 994 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: trouble to foot there West When do you look at 995 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: the cults? So we talked about this on a prior 996 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 1: show this week. But what do they need to fix 997 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,440 Speaker 1: to turn this around starting Sunday? Well, they have to stop. 998 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 1: To me, the biggest thing is stop shooting yourself in 999 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 1: the foot every time you have a big play with 1000 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,279 Speaker 1: a penalty. They've had more big plays called back on 1001 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 1: penalties than any team I can remember, so you can 1002 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: never get any momentum going. And then I think Andrew 1003 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 1: Luck has always been a good quarterback against the Blitz 1004 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: until this year, so they have to fix that too. 1005 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: I think I'm right rating this year when he has 1006 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 1: the worst passer rating in the NFL. Right now, they 1007 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: lead the league in giveaways, so I think that's probably 1008 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 1: not going to be the case all season long. I mean, 1009 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,279 Speaker 1: things have knocked on the way, but you're right. Every 1010 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,840 Speaker 1: time Frank Gore seemed to charge ahead early in the 1011 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: Jets game for yards, coming back and then their own 1012 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: franc cores, you know, fumbled like that. They're just doing 1013 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,799 Speaker 1: uncharacteristic stuff. You bring Franco is a perfect example what 1014 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: they need to do. That need the calm things down. 1015 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 1: Feed Frank of the ball. He didn't get the ball 1016 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 1: enough against the Jets. Make put the offense through him, 1017 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: Let Luck get comfortable again, let the offensive line get 1018 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,319 Speaker 1: a little confidence, and away you go. You're gonna score points. 1019 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: You're not facing a great team here. You're looking at me. 1020 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 1: I know, Greg go, I don't want to. I was 1021 00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: gonna say, I mean, you mentioned the struggles versus the blitz. 1022 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 1: Pagano said there's blood in the water on their struggles 1023 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,920 Speaker 1: versus the blood. I like how he mixed there. Yeah, 1024 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,399 Speaker 1: he went with backdraft and jawls but but he's right, 1025 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,920 Speaker 1: and he's going up against the team run by Dick 1026 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: la Bow and Ray Horton, who who loved throwing some 1027 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: blitzes at you. And you said, you can't imagine they 1028 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 1: would lose to the Titans, a team they've taken care of. 1029 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean, the Cults are a bad team right now, 1030 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 1: and they're on the road versus another team. We think 1031 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be pretty bad early in the season. This 1032 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,320 Speaker 1: is the right time of year to face the Colts, 1033 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 1: and you would think this is gonna be a competitive game, 1034 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 1: and you think that le Beau and Horton are going 1035 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 1: to be very aggressive and cook up some confusing blitzes. 1036 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: And it's not Luck who isn't recognized him. It's the 1037 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: offensive line. Did anyone what did anyone think of the 1038 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 1: And I know truck Bagano backed off on Tuesday. I 1039 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 1: wasn't only going after my quarterback. And by the way, 1040 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 1: I don't care if you do. I mean, any coach 1041 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,520 Speaker 1: will tell you sometimes you have to go after the 1042 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: biggest guy in the room to show the team that 1043 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 1: they're accountable, that they all have to be accountable. I 1044 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: do that with Mark all the time. So it's to 1045 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 1: the other guys. If he's got to take out anyone, 1046 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: that's right, that's he's not immune. Sessler isn't immune. However, 1047 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 1: when he threw out the it's not trigonometry, what was that? 1048 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,919 Speaker 1: Tell me? If you guys read it how I did. 1049 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 1: I read it as a hey, smart guy, Yeah, don't 1050 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,399 Speaker 1: be so stupid with the football. I read it as 1051 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: telling reporters it's not that hard to figure out what's 1052 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: what's wrong with And that's another way to read it 1053 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,840 Speaker 1: as well. I didn't read it as I didn't understand 1054 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,920 Speaker 1: why everyone thought he was taking shots at Luck. I didn't. 1055 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,800 Speaker 1: But he backed off on Tuesday a little maybe because 1056 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,799 Speaker 1: of the way it was reported, comment down a little bit. Look, 1057 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 1: he was taking shots at Griggson. Having Andrew Luck is 1058 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 1: a high class problem, right, it's high class problem. A 1059 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 1: lot of people would love to have it. I do 1060 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: like it does say something about Pagano that the the 1061 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 1: highest form of math in like the most complicated. That's 1062 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,360 Speaker 1: where it all ends, right right in tenth In tenth grade, 1063 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 1: when you're dealt with triangles, just stick with rocket science. 1064 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 1: I know it's a little played out, but just say 1065 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,400 Speaker 1: it's not rockets, old rocket surgery. Quick story, hold on 1066 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: rocket surgery? Who said that? Because I was going to 1067 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,279 Speaker 1: say when Paul Pasqualoney, God bless him, man near and 1068 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,440 Speaker 1: dear to my heart, a man who was only featured 1069 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,760 Speaker 1: for a few scenes in Hard Knocks, now an assistant 1070 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: with the Texans. But when I was a young reporter, 1071 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 1: was the head coach at Syracuse, back when they recruited 1072 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: real players. And we're not ruined by Greg Robinson. All right, 1073 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 1: let's stay here. I'm gonna stay on track, hear me out. 1074 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: Coach p one Day looked at the at the assembled 1075 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: media and said, listen, guys, I'm not a rocket ship scientist, 1076 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 1: but that's the greatest of all time, the rocket ship scientists. Mark. 1077 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,360 Speaker 1: This might come as a surprise to you. Okay, sometimes 1078 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,839 Speaker 1: this does. But you picked the Titans to win this game. 1079 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,279 Speaker 1: You you're picking the Cults to go oh and three? 1080 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,560 Speaker 1: Tell us why, because I don't I think that it's 1081 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 1: it's a little bit. We're hearing that the a f 1082 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 1: C South is this automatic six wins for the Indianapolis Cults. 1083 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,240 Speaker 1: And I look at the Titans team this season, completely 1084 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 1: different from last year's, and it starts with Mariota. He 1085 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: got beaten up last week, and I think, yeah, the 1086 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: Cults can try to do the same thing. But the 1087 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,240 Speaker 1: Cults don't have that personnel. That's that might be Cleveland 1088 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,800 Speaker 1: strength was what they were able to do against Mariota. 1089 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen every game. Mariota did not play 1090 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,319 Speaker 1: a terrible game outside of getting whacked around with some 1091 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 1: of those sacks. I mean, he continues to look like 1092 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,319 Speaker 1: legitimate quarterback. And that's something Tennessee has never had. During 1093 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 1: the Andrew Luck era opener here for the Titans, they 1094 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 1: had to play two straight on the road. I mean, 1095 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, did you pick him for m v P. Well, yes, 1096 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,080 Speaker 1: I did. Well my point, I'm not calling you out 1097 00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 1: on that. I'm just I wasn't alone, Like it doesn't 1098 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,960 Speaker 1: look good. And all I'm saying is if if Andrew 1099 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 1: Luck is going to be really good this year, if 1100 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 1: the Cults are gonna win even eight games, I don't 1101 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 1: think they're gonna go oh and three. I feel so 1102 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 1: this would be if if I were in another field 1103 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,439 Speaker 1: in my life, this would be my lock of the week. 1104 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,359 Speaker 1: There is a lock on the board. However, this week 1105 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 1: this is not it. But there is a lock on 1106 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: the board and I'm gonna win three sandwiches for Andrew 1107 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 1: Luck not getting a single mv P vote. That's looking 1108 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 1: pretty good right now. He is the most valuable player 1109 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 1: if you just go by value, because without him they 1110 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,480 Speaker 1: are nothing. They'd be in line for the number one 1111 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 1: of the week. Yeah, waits out with it. There is 1112 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,280 Speaker 1: a lock of the week. There is a mortal lock 1113 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 1: of the week. Drumroll please, And it should have been 1114 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 1: by the way, I let Westling talk me out of 1115 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: my love for the Steelers last week. I knew I 1116 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 1: had the Steelers last don't listen to me, I don't 1117 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 1: but no, But was it you tho was telling me 1118 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,359 Speaker 1: about the Niners played better than anyone wanted to give 1119 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: them credit for and they were going to give him 1120 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,880 Speaker 1: a game? Who one of you guys said, I was 1121 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 1: saying a blowout, and everybody thought I was crazy. You'd 1122 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,280 Speaker 1: blow up for the wait to get that. I should 1123 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,800 Speaker 1: have been with you, because all of America. By the way, guy, 1124 00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,399 Speaker 1: I don't know, Hey, we're gonna take the Saints. Come on. 1125 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 1: That was the one lock of the week. It should 1126 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,799 Speaker 1: have been. In retrospect, the one lock of the week 1127 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: this week is Jimmy Clawson at Seattle. Oh yeah that 1128 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: if are you kidding me? Seattle? If Seattle wins by 1129 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: less than three touchdowns, I would be surprised. All right, 1130 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 1: let's move on. Now, I'll talk to the San Francisco 1131 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: forty Niners. Why not a nice transitioner? Can't just give 1132 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,759 Speaker 1: that information away for free? Andrew? What am I a 1133 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 1: bad Saturday morning radio show? Sounding like Vinny from Queens? Uh? Yeah, 1134 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 1: the Nighters got killed by the Steelers on Sunday, and 1135 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,960 Speaker 1: now they have to go to Arizona and face the 1136 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 1: Cardinals who are two and oh looking really good. Greg 1137 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,920 Speaker 1: Rosenthal and Bruce arians gathered his team in a meeting 1138 00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 1: on Wednesday and told them you ain't m Evidently that 1139 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 1: answers my question. Can you curse on the podcast? It's 1140 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to be bleeped out later? And and you 1141 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,799 Speaker 1: just made an enemy? And we just who just made 1142 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 1: a symbol that cannot be shown on TV? Oh that's 1143 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,320 Speaker 1: the one that Key Mayors did with his ring on Twitter. 1144 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 1: By the way, that is a quote from a coach Brennan. 1145 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,399 Speaker 1: I had to do it, uh, Greg. I ask you 1146 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 1: the Niners they seem like they're heading into another buzz 1147 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,680 Speaker 1: aw to me. I don't think so. I think this 1148 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,680 Speaker 1: is a team that's just fighting itself. And they ran 1149 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,239 Speaker 1: into the best vertical passer in the league last week, 1150 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,560 Speaker 1: and they tried to get too fancy, confusing Roethlisberger, and 1151 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 1: they confused themselves. This is another very tough matchup vertical 1152 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,359 Speaker 1: pass a similar vertical passing team. And I'm looking at 1153 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 1: this team in the Cardinals. We like everything we see 1154 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: here so far, and it's like, I don't want to 1155 00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 1: wait for them to go three and o to make 1156 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 1: them the team of around the league. Let's just do 1157 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: it now, because because I don't like you know, I 1158 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 1: don't like that we have to wait till a team 1159 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,200 Speaker 1: has a great record to pick them, because you know, 1160 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 1: news flash, it's like buying a stock high. Then the 1161 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,120 Speaker 1: likely outcome is there only gonna go five hudred or 1162 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,640 Speaker 1: something the rest of the year. Well, well, it's not 1163 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 1: brave to to do it before they beat up the Niners, 1164 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,799 Speaker 1: who probably stink. I'm not ready. If it goes, if 1165 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 1: it goes beyond week four, you three can have a 1166 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 1: nice time with it. I'm not well, you said, you 1167 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 1: said no, I like the Cardinals, but I have a 1168 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 1: couple other in my eye, and I might might be 1169 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 1: pitching one soon. You just I disagree with with Greg 1170 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 1: a little bit, the sense that this that I don't 1171 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: think San Francisco is gonna hang around in this game. 1172 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 1: Arizona's scoring the second most points. They were going to 1173 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 1: hang around with Pittsburgh. Sure, I was wrong, and I 1174 00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 1: learned a lesson from it. They got there, they got 1175 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 1: their butts waxed. Alright, So it's like this time around, 1176 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna stick to that point. 1177 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 1: It's not wrong. Arizona is putting up like thirty nine 1178 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 1: and a half points a game. I mean there are 1179 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,920 Speaker 1: scoring way wait wait, wait, do you count a seven 1180 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: touchdown effort against the Bears and a lot of that 1181 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,439 Speaker 1: special teams in defense? Right? And did you watch San 1182 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: Francisco secondary last week against another good passing game. I mean, 1183 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 1: they got absolutely trained. But what do we love about 1184 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 1: the Niners secondary? My point is they had a great 1185 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 1: week one, they had a terrible week too. Like many teams, 1186 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna go up and down throughout the year. I 1187 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 1: don't think we have learned a heck of a lot 1188 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 1: of them. But I could think they can have a 1189 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 1: good game. Why not. I like the Cardinals. I'm not 1190 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,280 Speaker 1: ready to do I'm not ready to quote Danny Green 1191 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 1: crowned them. However, um they go to three and oh, 1192 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 1: here's let's say the Seahawks get to one and two. 1193 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 1: I could easily see the Steelers winning in St. Louis, um, 1194 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,000 Speaker 1: which drops the Rams to one in two. This is 1195 00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,880 Speaker 1: a nice little um September lead here potentially that we're 1196 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: talking about Sunday Night in the West from the Cardinals. Well, 1197 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,960 Speaker 1: and Carson Palmer right now we were talking about yesterday. 1198 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:46,000 Speaker 1: He looks like he has better movement than he's ever had, 1199 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 1: which is bizarre coming off another a c L. And 1200 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,959 Speaker 1: he's throwing the ball great. He definitely has more talent 1201 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 1: around him than he has in about a decade. He's 1202 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 1: looking like a top five or six quarterback. We were 1203 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 1: worried about how he would look coming off a c 1204 00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,680 Speaker 1: L SERG and how their offensive line would look with 1205 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 1: so many holes. They're one of two teams yet to 1206 00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 1: allow a sack. And I don't think Carson Palmer has 1207 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: been touched this year. Feed David Johnson that guy's a 1208 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 1: high end Well arians hinted that that was gonna happen. 1209 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,200 Speaker 1: I mean there, he's gonna have a bigger role each week. 1210 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 1: Let's move on to the a f C East, where 1211 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,440 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills got humbled obviously by the New England 1212 00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 1: Patriots who hung a forty burger on them. Now they 1213 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 1: head down to South Beach or where would it be? 1214 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: Where is Miami gardens? Guardiens? Excuse me to face the Dolphins. 1215 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 1: It's no, but I'm glad you it's nowhere near South Beach. 1216 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:34,880 Speaker 1: Dolphins cans are quick to point that out when we 1217 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,560 Speaker 1: but South Beach in the Dolphins, nowhere near South Beach. 1218 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 1: One thing which is overrated? Interesting? Uh both teams great steakhouse, 1219 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,680 Speaker 1: lot of Florida hot takes. You know what I'm talking about? 1220 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,400 Speaker 1: Uh oh yeah, Prime one twelve. Yeah, that's um, both 1221 00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 1: teams one and one. So whoever loses us as in 1222 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 1: the basement in the a f C East, Mark Sessler, 1223 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: what do you think of baby? Well, I I picked 1224 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 1: the Dolphins and I do sure, yeah, I'm sure. I 1225 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 1: mean I picked every home team this time to make 1226 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,120 Speaker 1: it easy. So whoever's at home, that's who I picked. 1227 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 1: But I look at Miami and I just think that 1228 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,920 Speaker 1: like we just talked about with the with the Niners 1229 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: in terms of going up and down, they're like a 1230 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 1: nine and seventeen. They're at home the Bills. The Bills 1231 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 1: with their defense could disrupt and probably wreck any offense 1232 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:20,919 Speaker 1: if they have a good day. But I just don't 1233 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:22,760 Speaker 1: think they're the same team on the road. Here's something 1234 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. And the reason I took 1235 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 1: the Bills is Rex seems to have Miami's number the 1236 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 1: last few times, even with bad Jet teams. And I 1237 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 1: think the last two weeks seventeens the Jets went down 1238 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 1: to Miami and really shut down, uh, Bill Laser and Tannehill, 1239 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: and I kind of see that again. He's got a 1240 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 1: better team now with him. And I don't know, I'm 1241 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: not sold on Miami by any stretch. And I also 1242 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: don't like and Andrew. I don't know what what what 1243 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 1: you've heard about this or what you think about this 1244 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:52,760 Speaker 1: this and Dominican Sioux uh subplot about freelancing on plays 1245 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 1: and perhaps not being in on their defensive scheme and 1246 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,480 Speaker 1: some some stuff cooking, and we all know Joe Fieldman 1247 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 1: might not be running a tight ship. Your thoughts on that, 1248 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,040 Speaker 1: I guess let me ask you this question. I'm not 1249 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm not going to look at the film and try 1250 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 1: to figure out what that in Dominican Sioux is supposed 1251 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 1: to do on every play. That's not my that's not 1252 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 1: my bag. But let me ask you this. If we 1253 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:17,040 Speaker 1: have a quarterback, all right, a quarterback who you give 1254 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars to, wouldn't we be talking about how 1255 01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: the coaches need to tailor what they do to fit 1256 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 1: the skills and and the upside or whatever the benefits 1257 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,240 Speaker 1: of what this quarterback brings you and what you just 1258 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 1: paid sixty million for. So so shouldn't I be trying 1259 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 1: to tailor my defense to what indomicans who does And 1260 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 1: maybe they are, by the way, and maybe they entirely are. 1261 01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 1: That's not me, Westling, that's you. You. You tell me 1262 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,919 Speaker 1: what he's doing right and wrong here. But I don't 1263 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 1: know why this has to be something salacious week two 1264 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,520 Speaker 1: because they lose to the Jaguars. I don't think Kevin 1265 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 1: Coyle is known as one of the greatest defensive minds 1266 01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,200 Speaker 1: in the Former Syracuse assistant Olivia Vernon hasn't done anything 1267 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,240 Speaker 1: this year. Cameron Wake is hurt, you know, it's who 1268 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,800 Speaker 1: made some big plays and run defense last year. I mean, 1269 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,480 Speaker 1: he made a third down stop that got him the 1270 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 1: ball back with four four or five minutes ago that 1271 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 1: that essentially could have won them the game. I'm I'm 1272 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:10,919 Speaker 1: a little more worried about their offense because they can't 1273 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:14,320 Speaker 1: run block at all. Yeah, and they can't really run 1274 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,160 Speaker 1: at all. And then they don't really have a number 1275 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 1: you know, Jordan Cameron is if he for this game 1276 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 1: as we're taping this stuff, they don't really have a 1277 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 1: number two receiver. Jarvis Landry is making the leap, don't 1278 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 1: They have six number two receivers the issue, But right 1279 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,240 Speaker 1: now they have one number one, Jarvis Landry, who who 1280 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 1: is making the leap more than I would have expected. 1281 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he's doing everything in the run game. He's 1282 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 1: just so tough. He's getting vertical a little bit. He's 1283 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 1: a great player right now. But after that, Kenny still 1284 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,960 Speaker 1: is doing nothing. DeVante Parker is not healthy. Greg Jennings 1285 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 1: is kind of a waste of space, and Matthews playing Matthews. 1286 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: I think their offense needs to step up. Well, you 1287 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,120 Speaker 1: hit on the problem. It's the offensive line, yeah, Gregg. 1288 01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: When to cycle back to the Bills, your latest QB 1289 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,040 Speaker 1: indexes out. We all love the QB in with the 1290 01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 1: vanity you are with a vanity or real metrics UM 1291 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,200 Speaker 1: that you drop every Thursday. But question you have, Tyrod tell, 1292 01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,080 Speaker 1: I think he dropped a little bit this week. What 1293 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: did you see from Tyrod? I saw that a fourth 1294 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 1: quarter of padding of stats. Yeah, when you took away, 1295 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 1: when you took away the first read, you know, he 1296 01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,040 Speaker 1: had a little bit of RG three uh issue, which 1297 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,640 Speaker 1: is he panicked a little and he just held the 1298 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:22,080 Speaker 1: ball forever and he didn't trust his receivers. They loaded 1299 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 1: up to stop the running game against the Bills, and 1300 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 1: they still couldn't do it. But he had three receivers 1301 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 1: on the outside, one on one, and he didn't trust him. 1302 01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,640 Speaker 1: He didn't trust his arm to make the throat. Everything 1303 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 1: was a checkdown in the first three quarters. Yeah, ye am, 1304 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,200 Speaker 1: I the only one that thought that Rex sold us 1305 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,479 Speaker 1: a here comes the punt bill of goods last week 1306 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: he did a lot of sellers. Yes, I agree with you. 1307 01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,439 Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, first play off the line, many lost him, 1308 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,400 Speaker 1: lets him go and yeah what what what what was this? 1309 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,760 Speaker 1: You were selling me? All week? Next gent stats proved 1310 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 1: that out that UM Stephan Gilmore single covered him on 1311 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 1: the touchdown, and then on the other six receptions. There 1312 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,600 Speaker 1: was no secondary defense there within seven yards. I guess 1313 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,880 Speaker 1: King Kong was inactive. Well, it sounds great that you're 1314 01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: gonna have all these plans for him, but then you 1315 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,240 Speaker 1: line them up all over the field and you don't 1316 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,240 Speaker 1: let the subs come on the field because you're playing 1317 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:12,880 Speaker 1: so fast, and it's up to the players there to 1318 01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 1: figure out who's covering who. And they sure, sure, And 1319 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 1: that's a great point. I mean, give give the Patriots credit. 1320 01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,400 Speaker 1: They ran I believe a hundred and forty eight plays 1321 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,960 Speaker 1: in that game, and they kept the Bills on their heels. 1322 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,800 Speaker 1: But there was something. And listen, it's only two games. 1323 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,240 Speaker 1: I would like Rex Ryan to coach my football team. 1324 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,720 Speaker 1: He gets his team to play. They played good defense. 1325 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 1: I love me some Rex, but there had to have 1326 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:41,880 Speaker 1: been a post game deflation there o joke And I 1327 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 1: was not a Patriot shot there. I really don't mean that, 1328 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,600 Speaker 1: but just in general with the all right, well, yeah, 1329 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,919 Speaker 1: I guess we still can't beat the Patriots. Uh what 1330 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,520 Speaker 1: was all that talking. By the way, we just gave 1331 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,960 Speaker 1: up forty points. We got stand. We just gave up 1332 01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,680 Speaker 1: more yardage than any Bills team had ever given up 1333 01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 1: to a quarterback. It could have been six hundred yards, 1334 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,440 Speaker 1: it could have been Well, you also took the Dolphins. 1335 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:05,160 Speaker 1: The rest of us. UH took the Bills. Hey, Mr 1336 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 1: Brendon McGuinness, would you mind UH getting us ready? Because 1337 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 1: Andrew you want to play again? Sure, we played a game. 1338 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 1: We're playing a game none other than is this a 1339 01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 1: Bob Barker pricing game? Similarly, to give you two options 1340 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 1: when it goes new to the show two options. What's 1341 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:28,600 Speaker 1: more likely? It's pretty simple. What's more likely the Bears 1342 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:33,200 Speaker 1: win in Seattle or the other one? Monday Night Football 1343 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 1: doesn't show a montage of Alex Smith Aaron Rodgers draft 1344 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: in two thousand five. It doesn't matter what the other 1345 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 1: option is. The Bears will not win in Seattle. You 1346 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,200 Speaker 1: want my endless and I worked there. I love them, 1347 01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:47,800 Speaker 1: I have a soft spot for them. I want the 1348 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,000 Speaker 1: Bears to do well. They have given up two hundred 1349 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 1: and eighteen points in their last seven the seven game 1350 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,960 Speaker 1: losing street dating back to last year two eighteen. That's 1351 01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 1: thirty one points a game. In comparison the eighty five 1352 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,360 Speaker 1: Airs when they went fifteen and one gave up a 1353 01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 1: hundred and nine alright, so twenty few If you add 1354 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,240 Speaker 1: the three game playoff run, they only give up ten 1355 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 1: points in those three games. So two hundred and eight 1356 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:16,440 Speaker 1: points in in twenty games and nine head of games. 1357 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:22,160 Speaker 1: All right, or night? This team is not good and 1358 01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 1: they're starting Jimmy Clauson Jimmy Clawson as one career victory 1359 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: as a starter. Can anyone name against whom that's more 1360 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:33,880 Speaker 1: than Brodie Croyle was as a Carolina pant Yes, and 1361 01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:39,280 Speaker 1: he has only beaten John Skelton in his career. I 1362 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,880 Speaker 1: love He's Well, I'm gonna disagree because I have to. 1363 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 1: I absolutely believe that if you're ESPN, they've already put 1364 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,520 Speaker 1: together the montage of Alex Smith and Aaron and Aaron 1365 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,120 Speaker 1: Rodgers in the draft. You know that's gonna get mentioned 1366 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 1: a hundred times. So if an asteroid fell on the 1367 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, the Bears could win this game. I think 1368 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 1: I think it is the Bears because that's a one 1369 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 1: in two chance. Are you something ask could happen? And 1370 01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,880 Speaker 1: I agree, there's absolutely no agree with They avoid the 1371 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 1: Alex Smith Aaron Rodgers and there's a better chance that 1372 01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,520 Speaker 1: there's like a technical snaff woo on the ESPN side 1373 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,680 Speaker 1: in the truck and they don't get to run them 1374 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 1: on Tony. If the Bears went, I will walk home. 1375 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 1: Both require disaster scenarios. I will walk home. Uh, Andrew, 1376 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:22,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how you're gonna get home now. I'm 1377 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,520 Speaker 1: sure it won't be walking. But if if you are walking, 1378 01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,440 Speaker 1: I want you to be careful. No jaywalking. You know 1379 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 1: that he Andrew links to do the shared uber and 1380 01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,360 Speaker 1: just see what happens. That's how he meets. It's funny. 1381 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,400 Speaker 1: Andrew Siciliano is the host of the Around the NFL 1382 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,120 Speaker 1: television show. He's standing at all times. That's one of 1383 01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: the big hooks from him. Uh no, not at all. 1384 01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 1: Very impressive. Nice suits as always Monday to Friday on 1385 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,000 Speaker 1: NFL Network. You also, of course, you're a bit busy 1386 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,480 Speaker 1: on Sundays doing what the Red Zone channel on direct 1387 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 1: TV channel seven or three one o'clock Eastern time one 1388 01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:00,520 Speaker 1: get Sports. That guy's pro Andrew sicily on a way 1389 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 1: better host than me, Thank you, buddy. I highly alright. 1390 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:09,000 Speaker 1: Moving on. The Pittsburgh Steelers just decimated dropped the bomb 1391 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,200 Speaker 1: on the San Francisco forty niners in Week two, and 1392 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 1: now they had uh to St. Louis to face the Rams, 1393 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 1: and we can't figure out the Rams. They they play 1394 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 1: great and beat the Seahawks and then they lay a 1395 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 1: egg against the Redskins and now they go home to 1396 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: face the Steelers. So it really, uh, what, Greg, what 1397 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 1: do you see here? I mean, do what version of 1398 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 1: the Rams are we gonna have? Well, no, let's see 1399 01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 1: great hair. Well you know anything else about the team? Well, 1400 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: they're not a team that's gonna play well from behind, 1401 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,840 Speaker 1: and they fell way behind early in that game. Maybe 1402 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,240 Speaker 1: maybe the Redskins showed something that if you can get 1403 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 1: a running game going against them, that that defense and 1404 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,120 Speaker 1: the pass rush is not going to be as good. 1405 01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 1: Nick Foles did not look very calm under pressure at all. 1406 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:49,680 Speaker 1: But I don't know if the Steelers are the type 1407 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:51,640 Speaker 1: of team that's gonna give a lot of pressure and 1408 01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:53,760 Speaker 1: you're indoors in St. Louis. I think this is a 1409 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 1: very tricky matchup for Pittsburgh. They gave Colin Kaepernick a 1410 01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 1: lot of pressure last week. I mean Ryan Shay's here. 1411 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 1: There was a there was a phase there between the 1412 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 1: second and third quarter where Cheesy was making every tackle 1413 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,920 Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage into it. It was just 1414 01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 1: as disruptive in the first half. They had a good 1415 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 1: one two punch there. I thought the Steelers were the 1416 01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,639 Speaker 1: most impressive team I watched in Week two and by 1417 01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,240 Speaker 1: the way, Levy on Bell wasn't even on the field. 1418 01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:21,719 Speaker 1: He's back and Pittsburgh for me, they're gonna have probably 1419 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,920 Speaker 1: a couple of games this season because they always do 1420 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 1: this where they just don't show up the way you 1421 01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 1: think they will. And maybe maybe St. Louis in St. 1422 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,760 Speaker 1: Louis with that defense can slow him down a little bit. 1423 01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,200 Speaker 1: But this this is an interesting matchup because Pittsburgh to me, 1424 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,600 Speaker 1: could be the highest scoring offense in the league. If 1425 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,799 Speaker 1: it's not New England. This is the This is maybe 1426 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 1: the best possible matchup of a defensive line versus an 1427 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,320 Speaker 1: offensive line in the NFL. That's how good Pittsburgh is playing, 1428 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,840 Speaker 1: even with the injury at center. And I still think St. 1429 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 1: Louis at home with that defensive line is as hard 1430 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:53,840 Speaker 1: as it gets. Yeah, I think they're a lot faster 1431 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,400 Speaker 1: at home than they are on on national natural graphs 1432 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,679 Speaker 1: like they were last week. Something to keep in mind, 1433 01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,920 Speaker 1: um Big Ben said this week that the Steelers is 1434 01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 1: gonna keep going for two after touchdowns, and if they 1435 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,479 Speaker 1: do follow through that and they do it again this 1436 01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,240 Speaker 1: week and they do well and convert them, this could 1437 01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 1: start a revolution. I think Steelers could be the one 1438 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 1: that that gets everybody else to do it if they 1439 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,760 Speaker 1: start to really have success with it. The broadcast team, 1440 01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,800 Speaker 1: Fox's broadcast team quoted Mike Tomlin on this and they said, 1441 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,840 Speaker 1: Tomlin said, we feel like it's worth the risk. It 1442 01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:26,800 Speaker 1: justifies the risk because we think we can do it 1443 01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 1: more than of the time and it starts, which is 1444 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,240 Speaker 1: very logical. I would totally expect them to convert more 1445 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 1: than it starts in practice, and they talked about the 1446 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 1: fact that they want to practice it more than any 1447 01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 1: team in the league, and I bet you because some 1448 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 1: coaches just it takes years for them to catch up. 1449 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,120 Speaker 1: Probably half the league isn't practicing the two point conversion 1450 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,400 Speaker 1: more than they ever did before, which is not much. 1451 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh buried San Francisco early with those two pointers. I mean, 1452 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,040 Speaker 1: they put them in a place they couldn't get out of. Right, 1453 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 1: they don't trust their kicker. That's part of why this 1454 01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,320 Speaker 1: is happening. But It's a fantastic strategy and more teams 1455 01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,880 Speaker 1: should do it. Todd Gurley, by the way, says I'm ready. 1456 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,200 Speaker 1: This week. We'll see if he makes his NFL debut. 1457 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,519 Speaker 1: Moving on, Oh, by the way, we have Oh, a 1458 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:14,000 Speaker 1: lot of the rams are taken by the Sessler. Mr 1459 01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 1: Sessler and hands us. Oh and West, you and I 1460 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,120 Speaker 1: are I'm not taking the rams and oh, yeah, you're 1461 01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,680 Speaker 1: taking the other side of taking the Steelers Conn. I 1462 01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 1: couldn't believe that. Yeah, I don't know. I just think 1463 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,479 Speaker 1: they're a lot better at home. I think some of 1464 01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 1: the weirds can happen. Definitely not taking up Nick Foles 1465 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,840 Speaker 1: team over a big Ben team. Uh. Moving forward to 1466 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:38,240 Speaker 1: winless teams here in the NFC. The Chicago Bears are 1467 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 1: heading and without Jay Cutler, of course, Timmy Clauson will 1468 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,160 Speaker 1: be the starter. Are heading to Seattle, UH to face 1469 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, also owned two. Of course. The big news 1470 01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: out of Seattle this week was Camp Chancellor ended a 1471 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:56,880 Speaker 1: holdout that accomplished absolutely nothing Bob kiss uh, and all 1472 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,120 Speaker 1: he got out of it was missing two games that 1473 01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,599 Speaker 1: his team lost both games. He's facing two million dollars 1474 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,920 Speaker 1: and fines. He didn't get a raise. That is how 1475 01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 1: you that's like Ragnar level mess up in terms of uh, 1476 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, contract dealing, he says. Kim says, I know 1477 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:14,559 Speaker 1: I can play this week. We'll see if he plays 1478 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,639 Speaker 1: or how much he would play. But this would seem 1479 01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,439 Speaker 1: you want to talk about uh teams that are really 1480 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 1: in a bad position Week three, the Bears, Greg are 1481 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:30,000 Speaker 1: one of them. Jimmy Jimmy Clawson, there's Timmy Matt Matt 1482 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,439 Speaker 1: Matt Clawson here, you can I've seen so many different 1483 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 1: stats where they come up with a different way to 1484 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,920 Speaker 1: measure the fact that he's the worst quarterback in the 1485 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,840 Speaker 1: last ten years. It's always like, you know, QBR with 1486 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,360 Speaker 1: you know, guys with over five starts, or you know, 1487 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,720 Speaker 1: like here's he's oh and twenty against whatever it is. 1488 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,120 Speaker 1: Jimmy class has got you covered in terms of bad stats, 1489 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,880 Speaker 1: and John Fox knows it well. Seahawks are gonna roll here. 1490 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:54,559 Speaker 1: We don't really really need to get into this game 1491 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,200 Speaker 1: too much, right, Does anybody have a point? The relevant 1492 01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 1: point now? I think, honestly, Cam Chancellor coming back is 1493 01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 1: huge difference for this team that they the amount of 1494 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,000 Speaker 1: big plays they were giving up over the first two weeks, 1495 01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 1: was compared was like almost half. I think what they 1496 01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,360 Speaker 1: gave up all last season, they were not They were 1497 01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 1: not the same defense. They ranked near the bottom of 1498 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,719 Speaker 1: the league in almost every statistical category. Chancellor alone doesn't 1499 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,040 Speaker 1: change that. But even just I listened to what the 1500 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:19,920 Speaker 1: players are saying that the stuff that the way they 1501 01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,160 Speaker 1: responded to his return is that it's more than just 1502 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,320 Speaker 1: he's a run stuffer. No, I'm never saying I read, 1503 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:30,360 Speaker 1: I read occasion. You've got your read like that's that's 1504 01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 1: the rest of you guys. You're just talking amongst you know, 1505 01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 1: your pencil pushing writers that Myron, you guys pay you 1506 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,160 Speaker 1: guys like what's for lunch? Where are we going? And 1507 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:40,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, I got you know, I'm listening to what 1508 01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense is saying, and it's giving me clues. 1509 01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:45,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna be good. They're gonna kick this team's But 1510 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 1: how is that? I'm gonna say something nice about the 1511 01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:52,200 Speaker 1: Bears since Greg called him bumps Pernell McFee was a 1512 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:55,439 Speaker 1: great signing. He's playing awesome and a guy who was 1513 01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,360 Speaker 1: on our making leap list a couple of years ago 1514 01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,679 Speaker 1: and was an absolute bust for the Redskins. Jars. Jenkins 1515 01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,840 Speaker 1: is playing well for the Bears. Mhm. That was That 1516 01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 1: was an old swinging mess from me with his hands 1517 01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: in the air. That was a victorious You know, I 1518 01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:13,320 Speaker 1: didn't know where you were going with this, but yeah, numbers, 1519 01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 1: that was a passive aggressive shot at you in case 1520 01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,680 Speaker 1: you were paying No, I don't care. We nailed at 1521 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:22,479 Speaker 1: number thirty six. D list making the leap simply needs 1522 01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 1: to say sometime over the next half decades, someone's going 1523 01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 1: to be impressed with this guy. This player will have 1524 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 1: a good game at some point, all right. Speaking of 1525 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 1: winless teams desperate need of a win, the Detroit Lions 1526 01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football will host the Denver Broncos, who 1527 01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,040 Speaker 1: uh you know, get a nice uh get a nice 1528 01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:43,439 Speaker 1: away row away game, excuse me against the Lions team 1529 01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,720 Speaker 1: that will be um. Maybe I think we'll probably see 1530 01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,680 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, but I don't know if he is going 1531 01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:50,640 Speaker 1: to be anything close to him at a cent And 1532 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 1: let's face it, even a healthy mat Stafford, you don't 1533 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:54,479 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get at this point. He's all 1534 01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:58,880 Speaker 1: over the map, so inconsistent. So here are the Broncos 1535 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,760 Speaker 1: and we the one thing to take out of this 1536 01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,960 Speaker 1: and and West you you can get us started. Gary 1537 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,559 Speaker 1: Kubiak said this week of his offense. There was a 1538 01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: lot of talk after they switched over and played a 1539 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,360 Speaker 1: more Manning friendly offense that led to that comeback win 1540 01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:14,280 Speaker 1: over the Chiefs that they would abandon Kubiak's attack. His quote, 1541 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 1: you stay committed to what you believe in. So what 1542 01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:20,200 Speaker 1: does that means? It means he's the ship on the 1543 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 1: titan He's the captain of the Titanic. What I mean? 1544 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 1: What the heck mark nailed this one last week. Kubiak 1545 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 1: is not the kind of guy. He's got an ingrained 1546 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,040 Speaker 1: system he's been using his whole career. He's not gonna fit. 1547 01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 1: He's not gonna mess with it. The suit is talent, 1548 01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 1: and it seems like the worst possible decision to me. 1549 01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,040 Speaker 1: You have to let Peyton Manning do up tempo shotgun 1550 01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,280 Speaker 1: for me. If you're John Elway, you're not a GM 1551 01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,639 Speaker 1: that never played. You played the position of a quarterback, 1552 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 1: and you you single handedly know when you went and 1553 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 1: got Peyton Manning that you're gonna get him for the 1554 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,080 Speaker 1: end of his career. And what it means to be 1555 01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 1: an older quarterback trying to win a Super Bowl. So 1556 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,600 Speaker 1: you go out and you blow up Adam Gaze in 1557 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,680 Speaker 1: that offense and you go get Kubiak. Did you not 1558 01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,400 Speaker 1: have a conversation that's if this isn't working. Are you 1559 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,600 Speaker 1: going to potentially think about the fact that we have 1560 01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:07,800 Speaker 1: to put Manning in the best possible position to win. 1561 01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 1: You can't fit him into a rollout based Gary Kubiak offense. Well, well, 1562 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,120 Speaker 1: we'll see what they actually do, whether they mix mix 1563 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of up tembo and some of the 1564 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,360 Speaker 1: run game. The problem is, I think John Elway imagined 1565 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,800 Speaker 1: the offense that he was in at the end of 1566 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,760 Speaker 1: his career where he did not throw the ball very 1567 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 1: much and they relied on the running game. But right now, 1568 01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,280 Speaker 1: the running game and the offensive line is not very good. 1569 01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,240 Speaker 1: So none of this makes any sensor. It works unless C. J. 1570 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,479 Speaker 1: Anderson and Ronni Himan are ripping off a lot of runs, 1571 01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:36,599 Speaker 1: and that's not happen. They're only running the ball thirty 1572 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:38,439 Speaker 1: three percent of the time right now, where I think 1573 01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,960 Speaker 1: it was forty seven percent is Kubiak's career average as 1574 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,280 Speaker 1: a coach. So that tells you a you're you're not 1575 01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,280 Speaker 1: It's not effective but that changes everything you've got. You 1576 01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,280 Speaker 1: can't be stuck in a box. The Broncos are gonna 1577 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,439 Speaker 1: go eight and eight or seven and nine, and it's 1578 01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,160 Speaker 1: gonna be the end of Manning if they don't get 1579 01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,360 Speaker 1: flexible here. I think this is their easiest matchup so 1580 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,519 Speaker 1: far because the Lions defense is not playing particularly well. 1581 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:00,599 Speaker 1: This is this is their first home game, my belief, 1582 01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,200 Speaker 1: so maybe that helps get them healthy. But they haven't. 1583 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,680 Speaker 1: They're just not They're not what they were at the 1584 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:10,120 Speaker 1: defensive line that was special. You can point in Dominican Sue, 1585 01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 1: but DeAndre Levy hasn't played. So that's two of the 1586 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,040 Speaker 1: ten best defenders in the league last year haven't been 1587 01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,839 Speaker 1: on their on their team, and um, I don't expect 1588 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:21,800 Speaker 1: to hear too many Terrell Austin interviewing for head coaching 1589 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 1: opportunities after the West. Are you disappointed, upset? Whatever? That? 1590 01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm your Abdul only is thirteen carries through two weeks. 1591 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm not upset now. I think I think that number 1592 01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:35,439 Speaker 1: will rise and he didn't do anything to deserve more. 1593 01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 1: Carry's last game, Well, this is the worst possible matchup 1594 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:42,080 Speaker 1: for Matthew Stafford and an offensive line that That reminds 1595 01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:43,559 Speaker 1: me a lot of what we've talked about with Denver 1596 01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:46,160 Speaker 1: and Philly, that they're not recognizing assignments. I mean, every 1597 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,160 Speaker 1: other uh play, Stafford is getting hit by a guy 1598 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,680 Speaker 1: who comes in free, and then you see two offensive 1599 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,519 Speaker 1: linemen blocking one guy over there. So it's it's a 1600 01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 1: I mean, I love this Denver defense. I think it's 1601 01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,240 Speaker 1: gonna be the best one in the league. Mark unit 1602 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 1: took the lines, the rest of the group took the Broncos. 1603 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:08,040 Speaker 1: That's shaky. Well, that's factual. What dance? No? I mean, 1604 01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:13,720 Speaker 1: it's you know that could go totally south. Yeah, I 1605 01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,320 Speaker 1: can't pick against the Broncos defense in this game. Finally, 1606 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:18,920 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, the Kansas City Chiefs get the longest 1607 01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,439 Speaker 1: possible break um that you can get without a by 1608 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:27,479 Speaker 1: Thursday to Monday after a crushing loss at home to 1609 01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,559 Speaker 1: the What's that I hadn't thought about that? That was good? Well, 1610 01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:34,200 Speaker 1: arrested the crushing loss of the Broncos last week. And 1611 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 1: now they have to go to Green Bay, which is 1612 01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 1: really when you when you factor that in, and now 1613 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 1: they go to Lambeau in primetime, and you know what's 1614 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 1: gonna happen here? Uh? That makes what happened against the 1615 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:49,000 Speaker 1: Broncos doubly crushing that you already had this almost almost 1616 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: a permanent marker and l coming up the following week, 1617 01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,320 Speaker 1: and it changes the entire season. Instead of a two 1618 01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,720 Speaker 1: and o playing with house money type game, now you're 1619 01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,519 Speaker 1: in a bad spot. So you're saying Jamal Charles fumble 1620 01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,160 Speaker 1: was the most important play of the entire NFL season. 1621 01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,439 Speaker 1: It changes that the league thinks this is a good team. 1622 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,479 Speaker 1: They put him on prime time twice in three weeks 1623 01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 1: to kick off the year. If you got a chance 1624 01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 1: to get the Chiefs on prime time, you have to 1625 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:17,000 Speaker 1: gotta do it earlier. Well, we didn't hear any more 1626 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:20,240 Speaker 1: talk about the aggressive new Alex Smith in that Broncos 1627 01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 1: game because a lot of things. I think a lot 1628 01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 1: of people that play the Brockets they're not gonna have 1629 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 1: time to be aggressive. But it was back to the 1630 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 1: same sort of dink and dunk five point five yards 1631 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,320 Speaker 1: per attempt. Just hope, hope for the best. I think 1632 01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,720 Speaker 1: this this Chief's defense has been impressive, though a tough 1633 01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,599 Speaker 1: matchup for for Aaron Rodgers. Not that he your boy 1634 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,679 Speaker 1: j Howard is playing lights out justin Houston, had six 1635 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,640 Speaker 1: tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Justin Houston, who no 1636 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:45,880 Speaker 1: one wants to acknowledge exists. You know what we should do. 1637 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:49,040 Speaker 1: We shoill making the leap after we've seen them, you know, play, 1638 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,320 Speaker 1: and start making the leap Jay Howard making the leap. 1639 01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,200 Speaker 1: But don Terry Poe is going to get his job 1640 01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,840 Speaker 1: back at some point, right, well, they can give him, 1641 01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, you give people snaps. I have a really 1642 01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:01,840 Speaker 1: weird feeling about this game. I really do. I I 1643 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,720 Speaker 1: came really close to picking up Chiefs, and I still might. 1644 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,320 Speaker 1: I do, I still might pick the Chiefs. It's not 1645 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 1: that they're the better team on any level, especially in 1646 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,360 Speaker 1: Green Bay, but I just feel something. I just will 1647 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,720 Speaker 1: say from an editorial standpoint, Greg, I know you're the 1648 01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:18,960 Speaker 1: editor in chief of Around the NFL marks throwing out 1649 01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,639 Speaker 1: a lot of these I might be changing my picks. 1650 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,120 Speaker 1: It's it's locked. It's on a website saying that market 1651 01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:24,640 Speaker 1: is picking these things. What about the readers? Do we 1652 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,880 Speaker 1: care about them? Well? That is one of the reasons 1653 01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,600 Speaker 1: I dropped out of this whole thing, not one of 1654 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,760 Speaker 1: the top reasons, but all the changing of the picks. Oh, 1655 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,600 Speaker 1: I think it was a prim back back room politicking 1656 01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:39,200 Speaker 1: just drove me mad well. I think what happened was 1657 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:44,240 Speaker 1: Greg one last year. That has nothing to do though 1658 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 1: with you picking games. No, but it was just annoying. 1659 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:51,160 Speaker 1: I didn't that would happen regardless if that was a situation, 1660 01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:55,000 Speaker 1: there could be backroom politicking whether or not you're picking now. Well, 1661 01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 1: but now I'm not dealing. You're still talking about the 1662 01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 1: picks just as much as you did last year, and 1663 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,439 Speaker 1: did your little helicopter John Elways speaking of the end 1664 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,640 Speaker 1: zone in one last year's competition, and you retired. You 1665 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,280 Speaker 1: didn't want you, you didn't want to feel vulnerable, and 1666 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,559 Speaker 1: so you marched away. And by the way, talk about 1667 01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,720 Speaker 1: a phony dand throws out the phony word, and I 1668 01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,240 Speaker 1: quote earlier today, I don't care about the picks. I 1669 01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:19,879 Speaker 1: don't care that you. Yeah, they don't mean anything anymore 1670 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,600 Speaker 1: without you. But you were saying, you said it was 1671 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,680 Speaker 1: actually a good thing for the show. You've taken the 1672 01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 1: beating heart out of what made picks fun and now 1673 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:34,640 Speaker 1: the corpse a part of our job. A conversation just guaranteed, 1674 01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,639 Speaker 1: just guaranteed another week of tweets hit up Greg at 1675 01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:40,880 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal tell him you want him to do the 1676 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:45,439 Speaker 1: PISR hashtag save the Hero. He killed the child in 1677 01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:47,639 Speaker 1: the man. I shouldn't have brought this up. You said 1678 01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:50,000 Speaker 1: you didn't even care. Would improved. I would have fared 1679 01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 1: if you were still involved trying to bring back the hero. 1680 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,519 Speaker 1: Then come back and be a hero. Greg, All right, 1681 01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,519 Speaker 1: that's it, Hey, Um, one last thing. Those are the 1682 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,080 Speaker 1: picks we all picked the Packers. Of course we didn't 1683 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:04,960 Speaker 1: even talk about the Packers. Yeah, they're gonna win. They're 1684 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,160 Speaker 1: gonna score forty points ain like a tech mobil team. 1685 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,599 Speaker 1: It's almost pooring. Keep a eye on Tie Montgomery. They 1686 01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:11,639 Speaker 1: tried to get him a lot more involved last weekend. 1687 01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:13,600 Speaker 1: He looked good after the cat All right, before we 1688 01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,400 Speaker 1: get out of here, let's uh, as I alluded to 1689 01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 1: earlier in the show, we want to get connor or 1690 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 1: on the phone, and uh, Connor you there, I'm here. Hey, 1691 01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,280 Speaker 1: what's up, Connor? How you doing, buddy? I'm doing well? 1692 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,679 Speaker 1: How are you good? Good? Good? Uh. The reason why 1693 01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,559 Speaker 1: we have Connor on is because we we use this 1694 01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:32,680 Speaker 1: U I am agent called slack at the office here 1695 01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 1: NFL media. It's good because it keeps us connected, not 1696 01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,439 Speaker 1: just in the office here in Culver City, but also 1697 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:41,720 Speaker 1: with Connor in New Jersey and of course Kevin Patrack. Well, 1698 01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 1: you've also been attracted to do commercials for Slack with 1699 01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:48,400 Speaker 1: their famous tagline, oh yeah, quit slack in sign up 1700 01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 1: for Slack today. I have not pitched that to the map, 1701 01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:53,600 Speaker 1: but I feel like that would that would potentially be 1702 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 1: a money maker. I could see it on T shirts. 1703 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: Uh that looks McCown to endorse it for you. Yeah 1704 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:01,920 Speaker 1: for sure. Um So anyway, so on Slack today, Uh, 1705 01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 1: Connor let us know and around the NFL exclusive Connor 1706 01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:14,439 Speaker 1: or tell us what happened during your lunch break today?

H 1709 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:25,639 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third, the Washington Red Scenes backup quarterback. Yeah. 1710 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just not a person that that 1711 01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:30,800 Speaker 1: you'd expect sia Codoba. But I will say, and I 1712 01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,400 Speaker 1: followed up on this, I'm a good reporter, just one 1713 01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,760 Speaker 1: of the nicest guys in the world. So really, uh, 1714 01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 1: you know, because you hear certain things. You know, everybody's 1715 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:45,120 Speaker 1: always staying s up, but totally totally cool demeanor at 1716 01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:48,360 Speaker 1: the fast restaurant and then today now that I'm live 1717 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:52,280 Speaker 1: a MetLife stadium here right up and gave a nod 1718 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 1: and uh and said hello, really wow.

This is at 1721 01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 1: the Short Hills Mall in Short Hills, New Jersey. Correct, Connor, Yeah, 1722 01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:07,720 Speaker 1: I didn't introduce myself there. I just you know, I 1723 01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:09,919 Speaker 1: wanted everyone to have a nice lunch, and you know, 1724 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,679 Speaker 1: so you came up to him today at the game 1725 01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,280 Speaker 1: and then said, oh yeah, and how about that sandwich earlier? 1726 01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:18,639 Speaker 1: I didn't even mention it, just he uh, just very nice. 1727 01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:22,680 Speaker 1: What how's everybody doing? What did he order? Um? You know, 1728 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't directly confirm that, but I would say some 1729 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,920 Speaker 1: sort of bowl because it's pre game and so I'm 1730 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,599 Speaker 1: sure you don't want the flower and you know he's 1731 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: not going to play. He doesn't, Yeah, starts before you're 1732 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:40,280 Speaker 1: inactive and you uh, you know, so I would think 1733 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,720 Speaker 1: the mobility would be a concern there, so, but I 1734 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 1: would get some sort of he doesn't have to worry 1735 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,280 Speaker 1: about being mobile today to stand on the sideline hey, 1736 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:48,920 Speaker 1: you never know. Also, one other thing, I did a 1737 01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 1: little reporting myself. Connor obviously carried the heavy load, but 1738 01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:54,720 Speaker 1: I went on the Mall at Short Hills website and 1739 01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,719 Speaker 1: saw that there was no subway in that food court. 1740 01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,679 Speaker 1: So Robert Griffin the third in the clear the yeah, yeah, 1741 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:06,559 Speaker 1: but there is uh just a wonderful pace. So I 1742 01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,600 Speaker 1: saw that. Okay, all right, so there it is a 1743 01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,759 Speaker 1: around the NFL exclusive r G three on Thursday before 1744 01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:18,480 Speaker 1: the Thursday night game against the Giants, um Aida Kadoba 1745 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 1: got it possibly of Rito Bowl, uh and seemed to 1746 01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,360 Speaker 1: be a very nice guy. All right, Before we let 1747 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,240 Speaker 1: you go, Connor, a good reporting there. Uh.

So he took 1789 01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,800 Speaker 1: on the project. So he rebuilt the team in Griff 1790 01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:49,680 Speaker 1: Whalen's the face of the franchise and they might be 1791 01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:54,320 Speaker 1: moving to Orlando. Um.
