I don't know. It 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: just feels a lot like twenty years ago to me 13 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: over there in the aves. 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 3: It's a tradition all over the place as the blue 15 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 3: bloods of the NFL. 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: Remain at the top. 17 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 4: What a fun day we had in the newsroom today, guys. 18 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 1: It was a lot. It was a lot of happening. 19 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: You know, teams caught up when they were behind, because 20 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: that's what happens in football games, and we're going to 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: talk about all of it. I struggled picking the start 22 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: of this week's slate because there were a lot of 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: really interesting games I didn't know, like what was the 24 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: game of the day, and you guys convinced me that 25 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: it was Patriots. Buck, So I don't look like a 26 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: Homer by going along with what you said. Let's go 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: to to Tampa. 28 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 5: May under the center, second down M nine plus from 29 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 5: the thirty one high formation, toss left. Henderson has it 30 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 5: trading books outside the fifty to the forty, to the thirty. 31 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 6: To the twenty to the ten to the house. 32 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: Patriots, there's your book game. 33 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 7: Ain't too Benny, start to buses the Toba shortwave. 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: But it's a slape today we are getting it. 35 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: It's safe clover. He said this before off. 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: The two man No Scott Zolac making me regret my decisions. 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: Start with the Patriots, right the bat. Patriots go down 38 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: to Tampa and they say, stop talking about strength to 39 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: schedule Greg. The two best teams you know we faced 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: in the last five or six weeks. They got the 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: w and they got it on the road twenty eight 42 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: to twenty three. Patriots hold on in Tampa. And yes 43 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: it was Travion Henderson on a day where no Ramandre 44 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: Stevenson and Terrell Jennings. Who's getting all the carries early 45 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: in the game, gets hurt, so they just gotta go 46 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: with Travon Henderson. And you know what, that's a pretty 47 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: good idea. When I think about like the big picture 48 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: of this Patriots season and this win in particular, I 49 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: think what you got to like from a team building 50 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: perspective is this was a team that was old and 51 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: slow at various points, and now they're young and explosive. 52 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: You get the two huge plays from Travon Henderson, you 53 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: get the young guys on the offensive line who didn't 54 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: have a perfect day, but considering it was against Todd 55 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: Bowles and everything only took one sack on the day. 56 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: You have an explosive young quarterback. Obviously Kyle Williams has 57 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: the explosive play. And then the guys you brought in 58 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: in the offseason, so many of them had crucial roles 59 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: in this win, especially Milton Williams, Kalevon Chase On and 60 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: I think it was a complete victory because it's not 61 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: all just about Drake may. This was a day Patrick 62 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: where he had some throw of the Year candidates, multiple maybe, 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: and he had some groaners, a killer interception that allowed 64 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: the Bucks back into this game and made some big mistakes, 65 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: but their defense picked up Drake May in the running 66 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: game at the end, picked up Drake May when they needed. 67 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: And something that lends to what you've talked about for 68 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: two years now, where it wasn't Drake May being the 69 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: only thing that mattered today. They needed those explosive plays 70 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: in the run game because this Bucks team, which gets 71 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: a lot of pressure, they got to Drake May, and 72 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: under pressure, he was four or thirteen fo one hundred 73 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: and sixty seven yards. He did have that one touchdown 74 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: to Kyle Williams, who made a great adjustment on the 75 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: ball where May was hit as he threw and he 76 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: wound up finishing that play and getting it into the paint. 77 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: But we saw this be a complete Patriots team, have 78 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: a complete formance against a good team coming off the 79 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: buy on the road, and yeah, it's all the college 80 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: football weird criticism of like strength. 81 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: The schedule, like like. 82 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: Maybe that's on me. 83 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: We don't need a committee at this point. 84 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: No, I get it, but I do think schedule explains 85 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: a lot in the NFL, and they have like three 86 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: more cupcakes after this too, But they have been consistent, 87 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: weirdly in how they win these games. You look at 88 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: like success rate in this game, Like their running game 89 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: was terrible for most of the day, but that's why 90 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: explosive plays matter more. Travion ends up with one hundred 91 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: and forty seven yards, most of them on those two 92 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: long touchdowns, and the rest of the day they couldn't 93 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: get anything done on the ground. But that's kind of 94 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: how they've played all year, is just hitting a handful 95 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: of explosives. Usually it's in the passing game, and they 96 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: got a couple of those today with Matt Collins and 97 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: Kyle Williams. 98 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and important that a couple of those came in 99 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 4: the run game, specifically against one of the better run 100 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: defenses in the NFL. And I feel like this was 101 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 4: such a cool game for Drake May if you are 102 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: Drake May, because yes, to your point. While I would 103 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: say the majority of this game looked really sharp, really crisp. 104 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 4: He looked like the same quarterback we've been seeing who's 105 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: among the highest in the league in completion percentage right 106 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 4: now and making tight window throws and pushing the ball 107 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 4: down the field. There were a couple plays that he 108 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 4: wants back, but in those moments, the rest of the 109 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 4: team prior to as opposed to last year, and certainly 110 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 4: what the stinkers some of these rosters have been in 111 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,559 Speaker 4: the past couple of years. The rest of the roster 112 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 4: stepped up and complimented around him, and you really see that. 113 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: And you mentioned the passing game, Greg, I think their 114 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: run game obviously still work in progress, but in the 115 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 4: passing game, specifically the layers that Josh McDaniel's and the 116 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 4: rest of that offensive staff have built into the passing game, 117 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: there is an over for every under, there is an 118 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 4: under for every over. They're peeling defenders off of each 119 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 4: other and creating leverage matchups, creating one on ones to advantage, 120 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: and everybody's running really crisply. Even the big older tight 121 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 4: ends are coming back to the ball with really explosive movements. 122 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 4: And you've got to feel really good about this if 123 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 4: you're seeing this. 124 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: So let's throw it to that throw the year candidate 125 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: that I brought up earlier, the fifty four yarder to maccollins. 126 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: Third down fourteen gets a breath. 127 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 5: A different car May is flanked by Henry White Henderson left, 128 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 5: who takes the snap. 129 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: Poor man rush Drake is back. He launches along about 130 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: farming down the right side. He's got an open man. 131 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 8: Hollins makes the sects crop the fifteen tack. 132 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 9: Bull in silent head, a perfect crow by trick. 133 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 6: May after the red gloves of mac Collins first in 134 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 6: gold and kill at the. 135 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 10: Age and he gets croached, absolutely croped to. 136 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 11: Get on the release dismay, but he hangs in there 137 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 11: and throws a freaking time. 138 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: Looked about Collins on the co roped down the right 139 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: bouldry as I'm McCallum uncovered there, does not expect Mac 140 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: Hollins too, essentially acts as a tight end for this 141 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: team and made the key block on the Travion one 142 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: of the Travion Henderson touchdowns, the first fifty five yard run, 143 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: which was in the third quarter. Hollins's playing more because 144 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: no case on booty in this game. Christian Gonzales also 145 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: a good game. Gives up only three catches to a 146 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: Mecca Abuka on nine targets. Abuuka still got his It 147 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: was great to see him fully healthy. He went six 148 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: for one fifteen overall. But yeah, a balanced game. I 149 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: thought Baker like he played pretty well in this game. 150 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: If you're a Bucks fan, you get Luke geticky back. 151 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: I think It's a very frustrating loss for them because 152 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: their pass rush was better. Their run game, even though 153 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: they miss Bucky Irving, like Sean Tucker, was really good 154 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: in short yarded situations. They had a much higher success rate. 155 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: I thought they like protected Baker better, but they lost 156 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 1: around the margins in general. I want to get your thoughts, 157 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: guys on the Mike Rabel decision late in the first half. 158 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: I think it kind of was the key to the 159 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: game in the end that late in the first half 160 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: they're driving, there's about a minute forty to go and 161 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: first and goal inside the five, they were around the 162 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: three yard line. They have Drake May take a dive 163 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: after the Bucks use all their timeouts to basically burn 164 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: clock and waste the first down play with Drake May 165 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: when they're basically on the goal line, like extremely interesting 166 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: strategy I have never seen before. And then the Patriots 167 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: can't score on the next two plays and it's typical 168 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: of what they did all day. They could not run 169 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: on short yardage. And then here's what great players do. 170 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: They just bail out their coaches. Because Drake May and 171 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs had an incredible fourth down touchdown, they get 172 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: the touchdown there, they get the touchdown on the other 173 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: side of halftime, and suddenly they get that fourteen point 174 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: BELICHICKI and Sandwich, what do you think about this strategy? Patchrick, Oh, Greg. 175 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 3: It could be process oriented and criticized the decision to 176 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 3: waste it down and then wind up targeting and twine 177 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 3: Winfield Junior on the back shoulder with Stefan Diggs where 178 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 3: he's having to find the ball off and make get 179 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 3: two feet down. Or you could be results oriented and 180 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 3: say six it's New England. Clearly it was the right decision. 181 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: I lean towards process. 182 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, but most coaches in this league are results are oriented, 183 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 4: so you're probably gonna have a recency bias on that one, 184 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 4: a little bit of a confirmation bias. 185 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if many coaches have the stones to 186 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: try that was wild. 187 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 4: I don't mind trying to manipulate the clock. I do 188 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 4: think that trying to run the ball in short yardage 189 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 4: against one of the best short yardage run defenses in 190 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,599 Speaker 4: the NFL is probably where things start to go a 191 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,239 Speaker 4: little bit sideways. And you could tell how much situational 192 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 4: coaching that this group is getting week over week. With 193 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 4: Mike Rabel, you kind of knew it was a given. 194 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 4: And he's got John Striker on that staff as well, 195 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: and so obviously they're gonna hammer this every single week 196 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 4: to the point where maybe some people are overthinking things, 197 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 4: like Trevion Henderson who's looking to the sideline to see 198 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: if he should still keep running and scoring a touchdown 199 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 4: on that second while he's running, because because you're just like, ah, crap, 200 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 4: what was it we talked about this week earlier in 201 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 4: the meetings, and then looking over to the sideline like 202 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 4: that's how you can tell they're thinking a lot about 203 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 4: these types of things. So I just I'm tickled by 204 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 4: all of it. It worked out for and probably wouldn't 205 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 4: have worked out, you know, five out of other ten 206 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 4: times they tried it. 207 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that steff On Dig's catch was awesome and he 208 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: goes five for forty six. He has been so valuable 209 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: for this team, even beyond the statistics, it is really outrageous. 210 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: My thing on that play was I wouldn't do it, 211 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: but if you had just run, just run the ball, 212 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: it would have happened naturally. Anyways, they tried about ten 213 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: different runs up the middle in short yarded situations and 214 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: I think they failed about nine times anyways, including the 215 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: next two plays. So just run the ball. If you 216 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: happen to have scored, just take it. But I get it. 217 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: They did not want to give the ball back to 218 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Baker with light twelve seconds to go. No, it would 219 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: have been like a minute and thirty seconds left if 220 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: they had scored on the first down play, you know, 221 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: or a minute. 222 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 4: Forty normally, Baker Mayfield, can you know, make crazy things 223 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 4: happen with a minute and thirty seconds left to play? Unfortunately, 224 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 4: I think. 225 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 3: It's a good problem to have if you score a 226 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 3: touchdown with a minute and thirty seconds. 227 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is worth pointing out to Yeah, to what 228 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: you said there. 229 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: In football Patriots, we. 230 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: Would have been talking about this game back and forth 231 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: much differently if Baker Mayfield had led one of his 232 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: patented fourth quarter you know, Baker ball drives here. I 233 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: was expecting it. I was expecting it to do it. 234 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: I saw you give the look, I mean the Baker 235 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 4: cape sound rolling may. 236 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: May You know they had a chance to go up eight. Instead, 237 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: he forces the ball into the end zone with about 238 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: five minutes left. Tike Smith, who's been awesome this year, 239 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: makes an incredible interception, and I kind of just felt 240 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield would drive the ball down the field. 241 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: But their defense has really gotten better, and it was 242 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: it was pass rushed by Milton, Milton Williams and Caleb 243 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: on Chase and in a good secondary right now with 244 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: their three cornerbacks. So credit to the Patriots defense for 245 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: holding them off. They the Patriots took a bigger lead 246 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: than expected in the AFC East because yes, the upset 247 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: of the day happened down in Miami. 248 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: Ahan the piscoal bag fish it to them. Let there 249 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: he goes dry go He's. 250 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 12: Caught twenty ten five touch down Miami a chen have 251 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 12: a day. 252 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Tons, I don't think you ever. He 253 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 2: never got the full speed on that way. 254 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: He didn't need to devon Ah Chan, He's taking it 255 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: easy on his way into the end zone. The Dolphins 256 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: ended up taking it easy in the fourth quarter of 257 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: this game, thirty to thirteen over the Buffalo Bills, who 258 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: fall to six and three. Yes they are a game 259 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: and a half behind the Patriots. Dolphins improve to three 260 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: and seven eight Chan with one hundred and seventy four 261 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: yards on the ground and a couple touchdowns. And oh, 262 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: by the way, just adds another fifty one through the 263 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: air with six catches, becoming one of the fans see 264 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: pickups of the year. Patrick, how was this so one sided? 265 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 3: Well, this was one sided because it's a familiar thing 266 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: that we've talked about with the Buffalo Bills on defense, 267 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 3: where yes, it was a great performance against Kansas City, 268 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: where you could say, the type of skill player that 269 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 3: Kansas City has that's not Rashi Rice, you don't get 270 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 3: the level of production that you get like in games 271 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 3: we've seen where John Robinson is running all the Buffalo Bills, 272 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: like the game Phukunakua had against the Buffalo Bills and 273 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 3: Sean McDermott's defense in SOFI Stadium last year, and Jalen 274 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: Waddle and Devon Han present a particular problem in terms 275 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: of explosiveness and ability after the catch and after contact 276 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 3: that we've seen the Bills struggle to deal with, and 277 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: especially in stacked boxes today where Buffalo was loading up 278 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 3: against the Miami run game eight or Moore defenders in 279 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 3: the box seven carries for seventy four yards force wow, 280 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: ten point six yards per carry against stacked boxes and 281 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 3: over on the other side, how rough it has to 282 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 3: be for Bills fans who coming up to the trade 283 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 3: deadline have dreams of all these receivers, even within the division, thinking, oh, 284 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 3: it could be a fire sale in Miami we get 285 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: Jalen Waddle. 286 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: No, they have to deal with covering them instead. 287 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: While Josh Allen has the longest time to throw in 288 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 3: this season and you have to go back a couple 289 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: of years in his career in a single game where 290 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: you just wonder if the Bill's whether it's a Joe 291 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 3: Brady issue, whether it's a talent issue. In terms of separating, 292 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: they did not get the game they needed from their receivers. 293 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 3: Even even when they did get something going late, it. 294 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: Was too little tailent. Tom Pallisero of NFL Media reported 295 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: this morning that the Bills were the most aggressive team 296 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: in trying to go get Jalen Waddle, which is a 297 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: fascinating fork in the road moment. But either Miami didn't 298 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: want to trade them in the division or they just 299 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: needed a first round pick plus, which you know I 300 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: would have I would have held out for that too, 301 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: for a guy that good. 302 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 4: I harken back to the summer and the early fall 303 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 4: when Brandon Bean was like downright angry about reporters continuing 304 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 4: to ask about receivers and bringing in receiver help and 305 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 4: will you potentially trade for a receiver and then reportedly 306 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: making this much of a push for a receiver who 307 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 4: could be a true one in your offense. Is it 308 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 4: is admitting, you know, to the fact that it's a 309 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 4: glaring need and a very obvious one. 310 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: Jordan just sticking the knife into Bean. Maybe it's not a. 311 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 3: Nice I mean, he was on that radio call like it, 312 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: and I'm sure he was proud of his performance on 313 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 3: that radio call, which. 314 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: Is it's kind of solid. 315 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 3: The folks will, well, we'll bring up but then, you know, 316 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: you look over on the you know, the celebratory aspects 317 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 3: that they were able to have with Maxwell Harriston, where 318 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: Jalen Model gave him all kinds of problem and maybe 319 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: relying on the rookie coming back from that LCL sprain 320 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 3: in just his third game in one on one situations 321 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: with Jalen Model kind of highlights why they needed Harston 322 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 3: in the first place. 323 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: Let's give some important context in terms of the Bill's injuries. 324 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: They got through that Chiefs game, and sometimes I feel 325 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: like the whole Chief's off season is all I mean, 326 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: the Bill's off season. It's all about like figuring out 327 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: ways to stop the Chiefs, and they are good at that. 328 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: But they get through that game playing well, and they 329 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: were not healthy. Tarron Johnson, they're great slot corner out 330 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: for this game. Christian Benford out for this game. Michael 331 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: Hoyt we've mentioned, is out for the seven season. Aj Epenesa, 332 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: their passers are out for this game. They lose Land 333 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: and Jackson, their rookie defensive lineman during the game. Josh 334 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: Palmer was also out on offense. So especially on the 335 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: defensive side, they're not fighting fair and yet on the 336 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: offensive side they're healthy enough. And there was like a 337 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: fourth and one play early in this game, Jordan, that 338 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: to me was very typical where it's like they're rolling 339 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen out and they're just making it harder than 340 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: it needs to be and he's out back there forever 341 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: to your point about the time to throw, and he's 342 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: throwing the ball like super deep on a fourth and 343 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: one and you're thinking, ye got James Cook. Like they 344 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: were shut out in the first half of this game 345 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: for the first time in more than two years. 346 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, more often than not, when I clicked over to 347 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 4: this game, it seemed like they were pressing too hard 348 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 4: on offense, almost squeezing the puppy too. You know, you 349 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: got to back off a little bit. 350 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: Don't don't squeeze any puppies here. 351 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: No, that's that's what I'm saying. 352 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: Don't we love our puppies. 353 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 4: Don't do it. That's it's uncomfortable, right, And this is 354 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 4: a team The Bills were fourteen and two against the Dolphins, 355 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 4: and you kept seeing these cut to shots of Josh 356 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 4: Allen on the sideline just looking like he couldn't believe 357 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 4: what was happening to them. And certainly, you know, the 358 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 4: Dolphins just parted ways with Jalen Phillips, for example, and 359 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 4: yet their defense suddenly is looking better than it had. 360 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 4: The Dolphins offense has been without Tyreek Hill for a 361 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 4: while and obviously had that front office shakeup, and then 362 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 4: questions and calls coming in about not just their head 363 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 4: coach and what his future is going to be, but 364 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 4: questions about many of the players on the roster, questions 365 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 4: about the quarterback. And this group looks better, you know, 366 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 4: it's it is almost functionality out of chaos, which is 367 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 4: a little worrying long term for like stress levels and 368 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 4: the heart example, but heart held for example. But I 369 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 4: feel like this is such a shock and a wake 370 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 4: up call to the Bills, as depleted as they are 371 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 4: on the defensive side, there has to be some tough 372 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 4: conversations that happened now. 373 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: Well, there's also the oblong nature of the spheroid that 374 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: went the opposite way for Buffalo and has gone the 375 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 3: opposite way for the Dolphins for most of the season, 376 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: where James Cook's knee as a fraction of an inch 377 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 3: from being down, ball gets poked out on a promise 378 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 3: and Ronnie actually averaged north of five yards to carry. 379 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 3: Josh Allen had what felt like a sixteen yard run 380 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 3: on a quarterback sneak where it was just all sneak 381 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: the whole way and probably should have gone down after fifteen. 382 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 2: But he has the ball getting knocked out. 383 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 3: He throws an interception in the red zone, is picked 384 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 3: off by melafan Wu who had solid coverage. It's just 385 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 3: Josh trying to make a play squeezing a ball in there, 386 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: and so those turnovers key, but just execution for Miami. 387 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 2: Best they've had since the team against the Falcons. 388 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: And I know Tua ended up with two interceptions, so 389 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: he wasn't a clean game in the end, but that 390 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: was a dime that touched down to Waddle and he 391 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: had some very nice throws in this game, so give 392 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: him some love. Would they put a thirty points on 393 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: the Bills get their third win of the season. All right, 394 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: That's that's our AFC East update for the day. Let's 395 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: head out to the NFC West where it felt like 396 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: this Rams forty nine ers game had a chance to 397 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: be kind of the appetizer for the Rams Seahawks game 398 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: next week. But really to make that game as good 399 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: as it can be, the Rams had to go and 400 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: they had to even the score and take care of 401 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: business in Santa Clara. 402 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 13: What do you think in play action passer, if you 403 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 13: really want to delve at a kill shot? 404 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 14: Sure, Matthews understander performed a single back. Davis Allen motions 405 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 14: from the right side. 406 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: It is play action Stafford ready to deal. 407 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 15: He throws no look less side along Parkinson. He can 408 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 15: walk right in touchdown. Caldy Parkinson and Matthew Stafford stick 409 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 15: to the dagger in San Francisco. 410 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: Oh like Jordan Rodrigu to Brandon Bean a great call 411 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: there by MJD setting his partner up with a great 412 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: question before and he nailed it. JB. Long on KSPN 413 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: forty two to twenty six the Rams win, And how 414 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: fitting Jordan that a tight end kicks off our Rams 415 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: discussion because you were geeking out about the tight end 416 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: usage today. 417 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 4: I know, aren't you sick of me? 418 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 16: By now? 419 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 4: Greg sitting next to you and that just freaking out 420 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 4: over thirteen personnel sitting next to you in the queue. 421 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: You did have a long rant about thirteen personnel while 422 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: this game was starting. I'm like, the Texans are in 423 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: the middle of the craziest come back I've ever seen. 424 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: Like right now, I don't need to hear about the 425 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: first corner of this four h five game or whatever's going. 426 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're like, my game's still going, My game's still going, 427 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: My game's was great. Okay, the caveat here and yes, 428 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 4: forty nine Ers fans, and I'm so sorry, and I 429 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 4: hear you your team is so injured, your defense is 430 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 4: so injured. Perhaps for a minute there there's a worry 431 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 4: that you're gonna lose Tatum Bethoon again, another inside linebacker, 432 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 4: came back into the game. Yes, that is the big 433 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 4: caveat here. But the thing that is a truth here 434 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 4: is that the Rams look like a super Bowl team. 435 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 4: But the thing about this Rams offense that is different 436 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 4: from its previous iteration of its super Bowl winning team, 437 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 4: besides being homegrown and not picks for players and all 438 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 4: of that, is how much deeper there's chematic options can go. 439 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 4: This is no longer an eleven personnel all the time dominant. 440 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 4: We do not DEVI eight team. This isn't even a 441 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 4: twelve personnel team. So two receivers, two tight ends offense. 442 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 4: This is actually it's skipped right past and Sean mcfaz 443 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 4: taped his foot around the gas pedal, and it is 444 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 4: a thirteen personnel, three tight ends on the field, one 445 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: receiver team. And you saw this today at a forty 446 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 4: four percent rate, forty four point eight percent of that 447 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 4: there plays thirteen personnel for six point seven three yards 448 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 4: per play and a sixty three percent success rate. Plus 449 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,479 Speaker 4: four of the six total touchdowns that they put up 450 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 4: on the forty nine ers today, this was their most 451 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 4: productive personnel grouping of the game, beyond eleven personnel, beyond 452 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 4: twelve personnel. And yes, again it came against a really 453 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 4: really banged up forty nine ers team, but this is 454 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 4: a schematically diverse and multiple Rams offense that is really 455 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 4: hard to defend because they can hit you with probably 456 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 4: the deepest tight ends roster in the league. 457 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: And obviously that's hoping, that's hoping helping to open up 458 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: the pass game, and all three tight ends too were active. 459 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: Ferguson has a thirty two yard catch in Higbee and 460 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: parkin center both active with three or four catches over 461 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: thirty yards each. But it's also helping the running game. 462 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: Where to me, just when I saw this game, and 463 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: then you look at the success rates comparing the two teams, 464 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: and you look at Christian McCaffrey getting stuffed for thirty 465 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: yards on twelve carries, like the Rams are the much 466 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: better running team, and you know that that has to 467 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: kill Kyle Shanahan deep inside that the Rams are like 468 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: the running team between these two. 469 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 3: And We've got to a point where I was seeing 470 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 3: Brian Robinson Junior with early carries. It's twenty one to nothing, 471 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: and I'm thinking, oh, this is a white flag from 472 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 3: Kyle Broan. Robinson Junior averaged twice as many yards per 473 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 3: carry as Christian McCaffrey, and you kind of start to 474 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 3: wonder if they're going to deploy their backs differently as 475 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 3: the season came on, where CMC is clearly like far 476 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: and away one of the better players in terms of 477 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 3: being involved in the past game, not having success on 478 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: the ground. 479 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: And hasn't been for a while. 480 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 4: You pointed out something important, greg about their usage of 481 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 4: these heavier personnels that I think makes it really tough 482 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 4: for teams more so than even having to figure out 483 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 4: how this comes out to defend against the passing attack. 484 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 4: Kien Williams had almost sixty percent of his carries today 485 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 4: out of thirteen personnel, fifty percent success rate, five point 486 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 4: one yards per carry to both touchdowns that he scored. 487 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 4: When you're looking at the modern version of some of 488 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 4: these heavy personnel teams, including even the Pittsburgh Steelers and 489 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 4: certainly the Seahawks, what they do at a twelve personnel 490 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 4: they're building their that heavier personnel specifically with the idea 491 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: of passing the ball. The Rams started that way as well. 492 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 4: You look at how some of the stats have shifted 493 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 4: and some of the carry share has shifted into heavier personnel, 494 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 4: and then the heaviest of personnel, right, and you're looking 495 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 4: at them building their run game around this as well, 496 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 4: including having it be such a force and a factor 497 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 4: in the pass game to the point where you know, 498 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 4: Davante Adams leaves the game with a back injury after scoring, 499 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 4: you know, his eighth touchdown and eight red zone catches, 500 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 4: and they just shift immediately over to thirteen and it's 501 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 4: like they don't even lose a step, and it sort 502 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 4: of like makes you remember, oh, yeah, DeVante Adams and 503 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 4: Matthew staff Stafford are having an incredible season. So if 504 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 4: Puku Nakua is down, Davante Adams is up. And I 505 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: want to take a look at that touchdown and listen 506 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 4: to it, because it was just what's becoming a vintage 507 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 4: moment between the two. 508 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 17: Second down and go from the two, Helmut high snap 509 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 17: looking left, throws that way, it's caught for a touchdown. 510 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 14: Hey Adams, touchdown, la knocks. 511 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 17: Over a videographer with a twenty seven to fourteen lead. 512 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 17: Shaken up, but good to go. Devonte Adams continues his streak. 513 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 17: He leads the NFL with nine receiving touchdowns. 514 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 4: Now that I'm looking at that, I'm wondering if that's 515 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 4: where his back injury happened, because he hit that camera 516 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 4: pretty hard. 517 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: So they updated after the game that they're calling it 518 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: an oblique now and they said they thought he could 519 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: have possibly returned to the game. So we'll see about 520 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: his status for next week. But very typical Rams to 521 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: change the injury after the game. But great, great release. 522 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: You have him lined up on Malik Mustafa and it 523 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: was just a vintage Adam's release off the line of 524 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: scrimmage and he just wins quickly. And yeah, a storyline 525 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: early in the season was how they couldn't get it 526 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: going in the red zone. Really to Devanta, they were 527 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: forcing it and now he is absolutely dominating. Before we 528 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: leave this game, I do want to just introduce the 529 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: idea publicly of the map Jones, Brock, Purty Scale and 530 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: me because Man Mac Jones only had six and completions 531 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: in this game. He goes over three hundred yard, he 532 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: throws three touchdowns like he did his work. And the 533 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,479 Speaker 1: more I watch Man Jones, the more I watch him 534 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: in this offense, he's really adding something to the table. 535 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: And I and I said to you Patrick, and you 536 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: thought it was obvious. So if it felt good about it. 537 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: That No, no, that Greg miscoding past. No no, no, no, 538 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: I'm not miscoding. I said the average Mac Jones game 539 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: at this point at a higher level than the average 540 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo game for the forty nine ers. Yes, that's 541 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: all I'm saying. And so Mac Jones, you know, you 542 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: know that game when you're when you're at like the 543 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: carnival of you're hitting you know, you're trying to hit it, 544 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: and the guy's like climbing up the hill a little 545 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: bit like if you're on the scale of like an 546 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: average quarterback in a Kyle Shannan system, maybe like replacement level, 547 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: it's Nick Mullins. And then you're going up the level 548 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: and there's Jimmy Garoppolo. Mac Jones has now passed Jimmy Garoppolo, 549 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: and he's getting reasonably close to block Brock Purty like 550 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: he's behind him, but you know he's he's getting closer. 551 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 552 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 3: My only issue with the with that part is it 553 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 3: starts by invoking Brock party, and we don't need Brock 554 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 3: to say that, you know, Mac has surpassed Jimmy Garoppolo 555 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 3: on the on the Kyle Shanahan quarterback scale. 556 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fine discussion. I just think we don't 557 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: need to invoke rock. 558 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just saying it's getting closer, that's all. Reportedly 559 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: he could be back next week, and Kyle Shannon even 560 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: said after the game that he thinks brock Purty could 561 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: have been the backup today and was very close to 562 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: being ready to go, and they wanted him one hundred 563 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: percent until he before he returns in I have a 564 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: feeling now six and four that will be next week 565 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers. All right, let's move on 566 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: to Berlin where we were hoping for a good one 567 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: and we got one. We sent the international fans home happy. 568 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: We also got to hear a little bit more of 569 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: Will Gavin this season. 570 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 7: Cool goes to Tayler bounce the outside down to the 571 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 7: tall touchdowns. Jonathan Taylor his third of the day as 572 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 7: he goes two up to two hundred and thirty yards, 573 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 7: three touchdowns and a walk off for the Indianapolis Colts 574 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 7: in Berlin, who moved to eight and two on the 575 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 7: season after his sensational day. 576 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 12: The entire fifty three, every coach, everybody on the field. 577 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 7: Is gathered around Jonathan Taylor, who. 578 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: Has carried this team to victory on German soil. 579 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 18: What a day. 580 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: One a day for Jonathan Taylor, wanted day for Berlin 581 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: and what a resolve for the Colts. Oh that's Ali 582 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: Connelly helping out Will Gavin on talkSPORT. I was driving 583 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: in to work when I heard that call, and I thought, well, 584 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hear that call again later today. That was awesome. 585 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: Thirty one to twenty five. Yes, Jonathan Taylor carried the 586 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: ball thirty two times today for two hundred and forty 587 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: four yards. If you had told me that his eighty 588 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: three yard run in the fourth quarter to take the 589 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: lead was not going to be like the call of 590 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: the game and we will hear it, I just wouldn't 591 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: have believed it. This was a performance, I think, Patrick, 592 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: that could send shockwaves into the MVP conversation formula that 593 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: you've been working on. 594 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 3: It already has okay, it already has to give a preview, 595 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 3: and you know Greg's asking for it. Greg is a 596 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 3: part of the scoring, and in part we have access 597 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 3: to the mind of a Greg Rosenthal. Jonathan Taylor, despite 598 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 3: having negative points to start to come into Week ten 599 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 3: because he doesn't play quarterback, has now surpassed his own 600 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 3: quarterback in senior dimes in the conversation because Daniel Jones, 601 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 3: despite getting five points for leading the league and passing 602 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 3: yardage coming into the week, does not get the points 603 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 3: for a quality primetime performance. Greg scoring the negative dimes 604 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 3: game with the turnover, that's tough, and. 605 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 2: So Jonathan Taylor supersedes his quarterback. 606 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 3: And I think we have a precedence set here where 607 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: if you're going to score in the conversation against your teammate, 608 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 3: one guy has to have a clearly better game than 609 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 3: the other. Yeah, and that's clearly Jonathan Taylor. 610 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: So no points for well, I think the fact that 611 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: it happened in an Island game and everyone could see that, Yes, 612 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is important and made plays. That's why I 613 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: feel bad about saying negative because you know, he had 614 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: that third and fourteen to set up the game tying 615 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: field goal right before the end of regulation, the run 616 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: that was important, a number of scrambles to get to 617 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: fifty three yards on the ground. They did fall behind 618 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: in this game. But you also can't ignore the sequence 619 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: where he had an interception and three fumbles in about 620 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: a five you know, possession sequence that's not ideal. 621 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 4: Starting to worry about the fumbling a little bit, just 622 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 4: saying we know this has been a problem before. I 623 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 4: have no doubt that with this group around him of 624 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,239 Speaker 4: really talented people and coaches like that, can get cleaned up. 625 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm noticing, not judging yet, I am noticing. 626 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: And there were a ton of free rushers on him. 627 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: He only lost one of those fumbles. But to me, 628 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: if you fumble it, that's just as bad. It's it's 629 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: luck whether you get it back or not. Their offensive 630 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: line really struggled to identify rushers for the second straight week, 631 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: so that's something for their team to clean up during 632 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: the bye. That's not necessarily on Daniel Jones, because Manny 633 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: was under pressure quickly a lot of plays, and. 634 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 3: That's why perhaps the biggest gift of this week of 635 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: NFL football was on the final drive in regulation for 636 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts, jeff Olbrooksons blitzes on first and second 637 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 3: down to force the third and twenty one, and then 638 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 3: they have a four man rush where Daniel Jones is 639 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 3: able to run and pick up a nineteen of those yards, 640 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 3: and then on fourth down they bring back the blitz 641 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 3: Jones has MPJ on the hot read wide open to 642 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 3: the top of the screen. Instead, he decides to use 643 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 3: the force to Tyler Warren, who has a defender all 644 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 3: over him, but somehow gets fits the ball in there 645 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 3: for the first down, which hey, where results oriented great decision? 646 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: Well, I agree with you, but Tyler Warren is such 647 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: a beast, and I believe it was Jesse beats there 648 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: in covered and he just at at this point trusting 649 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: Tyler Warren to moss anyone on the biggest play of 650 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: their season, because if you don't complete that, the game's over. 651 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: Falcons win. It's not a bad decision. Tyler Waron makes 652 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: the catch and you know, and he also turns an 653 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: upfield and makes the play. Mandy has a good feel 654 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: of like where the defenders are gonna be after he 655 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: makes these catches. 656 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 4: There was a quiet battle going on between Daniel Jones 657 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 4: and Jesse Bates for the entire game. Obviously, Jesse Bates 658 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 4: was super aggressive on the ball whenning coverage, but also 659 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 4: they were sending him in some of these creepers, so 660 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 4: looking like you're gonna blitz but then not actually blitzing, 661 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 4: And they were sending him on some of these pressure 662 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 4: looks where on one of the turnovers that Jalen Walker 663 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 4: forced a fumble. Excuse me, James Pierce Junior forced the 664 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 4: fumble this week. It was the reverse last week and 665 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 4: Jalen Walker scooped it up. Jesse Bates was Daniel Jones 666 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 4: was looking at Jesse Bates coming off his hit to 667 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 4: his right the entire time. He wasn't even clocking what 668 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 4: was going on to his left and it was basically 669 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 4: a free rush right at him ended up being a turnover. 670 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 4: They were going back and forth all game. I thought 671 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 4: it was really really cool to watch. The score to 672 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 4: me on the Colts side does not necessarily show how 673 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 4: much fun this Atlanta Falcons defense is sometimes to watch, 674 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 4: and yes, some of the calls when they'll they'll make 675 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 4: the right call for two of the downs and then 676 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 4: be like, ah, where'd it go on the third down? 677 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 4: But this defense has come so much further than I 678 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 4: expected them to in one year under jeff Ford Bridge. 679 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: I think this game was and they're playing one of 680 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: the best offense in the league is kind of typical 681 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: of what this Falcons defense is, which is they're a 682 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: big play defense, kind of going a big playoffense, but 683 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: they give up a lot of big plays. They don't 684 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: have enough of a consistent pass rush, but the secondary's 685 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: good and they lose Alford Robert Alford early in this game. 686 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: D Alford, I'm losing. I'm confusing my Alfred's that I've 687 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,479 Speaker 1: played for the Falcons. Five hundred yards for the Colts 688 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: in this game, and yet I blame this game on 689 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: the Falcons offense. Really, the defense has more than done 690 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: its job all season long. But in a game where 691 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, the Colts pick up a new kicker, they miss, 692 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: they miss a kick short, and miss an extra point early. 693 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: They have zero third down conversions through the first three 694 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: quarters of this game. Like I mentioned, they had the 695 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: four fumbles, they had two failed fourth down potential conversions 696 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: deep into Falcons territory where I think they were almost 697 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: afraid to let the kicker kick. And they also made 698 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: sense at the time they had the intercept. All of 699 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: that happened on the other side of the ball, and 700 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: yet the Colts kept having the ball down four points 701 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: with the chance to win the game. This Falcons offense 702 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: should have put this game away earlier, and they were 703 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: just horrific on third downs on dropbacks on third downs, 704 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: Michael Pennix completed one of five passes for four yards. 705 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: He took three sacks and fumbled the ball away. They 706 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: had negative thirty one yards on those eight dropbacks. And 707 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: in a game where like there's no DeForest Buckner. It's 708 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: not like the Colts had a great pass rush in 709 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: this game. They're just their passing game I think is 710 00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: killing them. 711 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, the offense is driving me nuts. Don't think I 712 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 4: did not notice Mike McDaniel running h Chan out of 713 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 4: the pistol for huge production today. By the way, just 714 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 4: in case, backup plan, you know, backup plan in case 715 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 4: some shuffling happens. 716 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: There was a weird under center play by Michael Pennox 717 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: in this game, and I was. 718 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 4: Like ooh, and then it was like the only one 719 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 4: just in case Atlanta's in the market, you know, this offseason, 720 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 4: you know, just in case some things move around. But yeah, 721 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 4: I remain absolutely infuriated at times by this offense, and 722 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 4: a lot of the passing game is just predicated on 723 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 4: what can Drake London. 724 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: Do six for one four and a touchdown six for 725 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: one four in a touchdown. 726 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 4: He had a hat trick last week, but they lack 727 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 4: so much dimension in other areas of their past game. 728 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 4: And yes, Bijeon went for eighty four yards on seventeen 729 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 4: attempts to four point nine per attempt, but it was 730 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 4: so start stop, start stop, and then he's completely a 731 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,919 Speaker 4: non factor in the game within the red zone. 732 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: Well, in overtime, I do think play, you know, players, 733 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: not plays, and it's one drive in overtime, and it's 734 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: a very short drive. It ends up being five plays. 735 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 1: And you know it's Darnell Mooney who had a killer 736 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: drop in regulation. Eight targets to Mooney for one catch, 737 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: and it's Algier a lot at the end of this game, 738 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: and they didn't get Drake Lindon a target like at 739 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: the end of the game. Where in overtime, who did 740 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: Dania Jones throw to Tyler Warren? Like it was all 741 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: Tyler Warren? And you trust your best players. 742 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, And there are so many situations where you look back. 743 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 3: We've talked about the falcons inability to use the middle 744 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 3: of the field in the passing game, and then they 745 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 3: had a great opportunity. David Sills got one target today 746 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 3: and it was a nasty miss by Pinnix where you 747 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 3: you know, at this point in the season. 748 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 2: It can't just be Zach Robinson's. It takes a. 749 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 4: Village, yea to have a passing game an offense. 750 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 3: And you got to put the blame on nine on 751 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 3: some of these. I understand they don't use the middle 752 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 3: field a lot. David Sills and his connection maybe be 753 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 3: non existent, but you could. 754 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: You can meet strangers, not not nine that suits up 755 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: for the Vikings, the alter ego. This is Michael actual 756 00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: quarterback who plays for the Atlanta Falcons. 757 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 2: Where's number nine? Two to my knowledge only is one person. 758 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right. He was inaccurate for a lot 759 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: of the day. He finishes twelve for twenty eight, and 760 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 1: he was getting a lot of negative texts from Nick 761 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 1: Westling to me, just like I've never thought Michael Pennix 762 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: had it. He doesn't have it. There's not enough, you know, oomph, 763 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: And I'm you know. 764 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 2: But that's the thing he does. 765 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 3: Like the things that Michael Pennock junior and out are 766 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,800 Speaker 3: very difficult to do, Like it's difficult. 767 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: Not seeing it as enough develop buttons. 768 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, if he if they can action passing to 769 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 4: the middle of the field, run dagger for Christ's sake. 770 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: And some of it's on the coaches too, because his 771 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,320 Speaker 1: team can they cannot get plays off in time, like 772 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: how many plays There were literally two drives that were 773 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: ended because Michael Pennix was not ready for the snap 774 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: because they had to snap it too quick and he's 775 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: like walking up and they're running out of time. And 776 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 1: so I don't know if the plays call is getting 777 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: in late, but just the operation is is just rough. 778 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: They're three and six, A lot of questions for the 779 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: Falcons going into thereby the Colts are at eight and two. 780 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,479 Speaker 1: Who man, they are feeling better going into their bye. 781 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 1: And before we say goodbye to this game, let's actually 782 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: go to break by listening to Will Gavin again because yeah, 783 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: we got to hear that touchdown call. Remember the fout. 784 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: The Falcons were winning this game in the fourth quarter, 785 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: seventeen to thirteen. They give up a field goal drive, 786 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: then they get stopped for a three and hour, and 787 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: then Jonathan Taylor takes over under center. 788 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 6: Now Daniel Jones has Pittman going in motion, has Jonathan 789 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 6: Taylor in the backfield, gives it to Taylor up the middle, 790 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 6: gets the ardish needed for the first down, maybe a yard. 791 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: More that's the outside. Is that brought down? 792 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 9: How's the time? 793 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: Twenty four to forty, twenty five to fifty. Taylor can 794 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: go all the way here, He's the two druckers. He's 795 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: gonna all the way. Ten tied touch down counts. 796 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor unbelievable. 797 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 10: I'm with that. 798 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 6: He breaks Hendering James, Indianapolis coach rushing touchdown record. This 799 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 6: man is special, indeed, and he's carrying this team to 800 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 6: open out be a nice in two records. 801 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: Ravens of the line first in goal at the two. 802 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 19: Lamar steps back into the shotgun, spreads three receivers to 803 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 19: the right. 804 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: Lamar takes a snap roll to. 805 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 15: The right, grows from the back of the end zone, 806 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,399 Speaker 15: touchdown Mark Andrews. 807 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 20: And the Ravens extend their lead with ten forty. 808 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: Left up play in Minnesota. They extended, they did, and 809 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: they hold on twenty seven to nineteen. The Ravens win 810 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: their third straight game to get to four and five, 811 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: same record that the Vikings have. In the loss Patrick, 812 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: they were just knocking on the door all day, settle 813 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 1: in for field goals all day. The Ravens finally break 814 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: through get a touchdown early in the third quarter from 815 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: Justice Hill, and I gotta say, you know from the outside, 816 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: and you can tell me as the one who wore 817 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: some purple today it felt like the Ravens defense is 818 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: keeping them in this game and waiting for the offense 819 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: to hold up. 820 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 3: Shout out to Vanessa and Wardrobe picking this outfit for me. 821 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 3: I had no say or other.

It's sad. I would 826 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: have no idea that it's purple. But I know it 827 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: because Jordan said it earlier, so I'm just copying. 828 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,320 Speaker 3: I still this is in the range of the spectrum 829 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 3: where I just whatever somebody says it is same. It's 830 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 3: dangerous because my life will be like that's my gunda 831 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 3: or whatever, and I'm out. 832 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: You feel the pain of the color blind community. 833 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 3: I appreciate, yeah, stand in solidarity, but generally been feeling 834 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 3: pain regarding this Baltimore Ravens defense where they've gotten seven 835 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 3: turnovers in the last three games. They get enough from 836 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 3: Tyler Loop. I know there are those who may be 837 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 3: seated at this table with me who were oppositional to 838 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 3: kicking field goal, but they give you three points and 839 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 3: you are allowed, based on the rules, to keep these 840 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 3: three points for the duration of the game. And yeah, 841 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 3: it's a back and forth game toward. 842 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: Sometimes when you're like way ahead, though, the other team 843 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 1: can come back and that's how they can go. 844 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 3: They can but when you get you know, Marlon Humphrey 845 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 3: picking off JJ McCarthy as he did on what was 846 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 3: essentially a punt where Justin Jefferson fell down. Justin Jefferson, 847 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 3: I believe, finished with thirteen targets and four catches in 848 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 3: this game where Zach Orr executed the plan pretty much 849 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 3: almost a perfection, where there was an opportunity for a 850 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 3: two point conversion after a late touchdown from Jalen Naylor, 851 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 3: where you know, Nate Wiggins was arguing for a pass 852 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 3: interference call which is okay not to do during the 853 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 3: play though, which allowed Jalen Naylor with a late touchdown 854 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 3: that gave the Vikings a little bit of hope. 855 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 2: They went for two. 856 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 3: But you just saw the way that the bracket coverage 857 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 3: was designed on Justin Jefferson to limit him. In je 858 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 3: Adobe Huzie had a break up there, but you know, 859 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 3: the Ravens continue to ex on play action that touchdown 860 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 3: pass to Mark Andrews. I will fight those at NGS 861 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 3: who say that that is not a play action play 862 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,919 Speaker 3: despite having Lamar spread out to the right and where 863 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 3: the entire Vikings defense is looking at him and not 864 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,480 Speaker 3: Mark Andrews on the back line. But a solid performance 865 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 3: where yeah, they could have been successful in the red 866 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 3: zone a little bit more, but all you need to 867 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 3: do is good enough to win. I guess a solid 868 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 3: team on the road is a team that's playing a 869 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 3: lot better than they were a few weeks. 870 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: They're stacking different types of performances. The offense hasn't been 871 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,760 Speaker 1: like as consistent as explosive as maybe you would expect, 872 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: but this is a very difficult matchup and eventually they 873 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: broke through. Let's actually listen to that McCarthy interception that 874 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,320 Speaker 1: you referred to. He had a couple of them today. 875 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 14: Vikings three of seven on third down. This is third 876 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 14: and short, two tight ends. They're balanced off, said I right, 877 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 14: McCarthy on third and one is going to pass from 878 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 14: under center. He's going to go deep Jennifer soon now 879 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 14: Ti Marlin Humphrey picked it up, picked it off, but 880 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 14: the five yard line. The veteran Marlin Humphrey heads up 881 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 14: the field lazily to the fifteen. Now he sprints twenty 882 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 14: twenty five and JJ McCarthy has thrown two interceptions. 883 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 4: Oh wow, Paul, both interceptions when targeting Justin Jefferson. 884 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:19,439 Speaker 1: Also Pete Bursich on the call there along with Paul 885 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 1: Allen on kfan going what are you doing? 886 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 3: In the middle of that call, I mean, right out 887 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 3: of his hands, Pete was asking what are we doing? 888 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 1: And that's why I know Jefferson felt and I saw 889 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: some critical tweets in Vikings Blue Sky about Jefferson today 890 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: that you know, he had a couple of plays that 891 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: he normally would have made. You don't normally hear that, 892 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,319 Speaker 1: but an up and down game from JJ McCarthy where 893 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: great first drive again in a couple really good throws, 894 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 1: but also some plays where he looked very young, including 895 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 1: the end of game situation they had the ball back 896 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: down eight with a chance to go, you know, possibly 897 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,839 Speaker 1: try to tie and win the game, and that two 898 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: minute situation seemed to overwhelm McCarthy. 899 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,919 Speaker 4: Well, it seemed to overwhelm you too, Greg. 900 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 1: It was a tough one to watch if you just 901 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: like good ball. I mean, he's just he's just like 902 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: throwing the ball in the middle of the field and sliding. 903 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 4: Down thinking forever to make decisions too. 904 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: He just wasn't ready for that moment. 905 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 3: And it also gives credence to the defenders of the 906 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 3: three man rush where on the fourth down, the Ravens 907 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 3: decide to rush three, much to mushagrin as I'm on 908 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 3: TV watching this take place, but they come through and 909 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,919 Speaker 3: JJ throws to Aaron Jones late, where Jones is having 910 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 3: to try to make a diving grab and it was 911 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:35,960 Speaker 3: too little, too late. 912 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 1: Well, I think the thing that bothers you about that 913 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 1: clip is that's a play where JJ McCarthy has absolutely 914 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: perfect protection. So it's more the decision that feels like 915 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: it was made before the play instead of basing on 916 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: what you're seeing in terms of coverage down the field 917 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: and there was no need to rush that throw. 918 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 3: But also, as a play caller, right as much as 919 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 3: I love Kevin O'Connell, you have a third and one 920 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 3: in that situation, and you have Justin Jefferson and running 921 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 3: that route. 922 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,399 Speaker 4: Like, yeah, he's kind of what you want, just jad 923 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 4: to look for. Yeah, he took it. He talked about 924 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 4: a postgame where they were showing a zero look, so 925 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 4: he knew that Justin Jefferson was automatically going to have 926 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 4: distance against the defender. So I think all of this 927 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 4: can be true at once. If you are on a 928 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 4: third and one with a quarterback who's kind of been 929 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 4: up and down a little bit to that point in 930 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 4: the game, who was spiraling a little bit after the 931 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 4: after the first interception, yeah, you definitely are going to 932 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 4: maybe like run the ball. But if you're facing all 933 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 4: of that down low into the box, and if you're 934 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 4: facing a zero like look like that like Kevin O'Connell 935 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 4: was talking about, and you know, the best, one of 936 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 4: the best receivers on the planet is going to have 937 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,839 Speaker 4: a step. You just really need to make the throw. 938 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 4: You have to execute the throw, no matter what the 939 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 4: call is. On the converse, a lot of talk going 940 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 4: into this game about Lamar Jackson versus the Blitz, highest 941 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 4: passer rating in the NFL against the Blitz still was 942 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 4: blitzed on sixty percent of his dropbacks for a for 943 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 4: a touchdown and was eight for eighteen, so little hit 944 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 4: or miss. Nine pressures hitter miss doesn't say, I don't 945 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 4: think it means anything here or there, because they send 946 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 4: blitzeres in different ways. But still that that high amount. 947 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 4: That was Brian Flores committing to a game, and you. 948 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 3: Could see Monkin trying to get the ball hard up 949 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 3: like they were throwing a lot of horizontal passes, one 950 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 3: of which Jonathan Gernard seemingly went directly through both of 951 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 3: his elbows on a pass to say Flowers that they 952 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 3: were trying to mitigate that pressure from from the Vikings 953 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 3: pass rush a little bit, and we saw that and 954 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 3: kind of play out. Yeah, it's stats that you mentioned, 955 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:41,359 Speaker 3: but you know, in the difference in the quarterbacking when 956 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 3: you didn't get the pressure, eight made the plays and. 957 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 1: Nine, which nine, There are a lot of nice that's. 958 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 3: An interesting question. So was that actually nine playing today 959 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 3: or was that JJ McCarthy. 960 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 1: Okay, So for a little bit of context, JJ McCarthy says, 961 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: his alter ego is nine. That's the core back who 962 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 1: has taken all the anger from missing his rookie year 963 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 1: and then missing a lot of time this year and 964 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: bottled it up and used it for good supposedly. But 965 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: if nine was out there today, that didn't seem like 966 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: a good nine. And there are a lot of other nines, 967 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 1: so that's confusing too. 968 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, in terms of JJ McCarthy's nine performance today, maybe 969 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 3: that's the Nine's the devil on the shoulder, that's like, throw. 970 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,800 Speaker 1: It deep to JJ here, Well, here are the other nines. Okay, 971 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: So Pennix struggle, Yeah, Stafford, maybe the MVP right now 972 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: had a good day for your candidacy, Jordan, Bryce Young 973 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of a struggle right now in Burrow. 974 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: Not healthy. So the nines they're not nine. 975 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,479 Speaker 2: In Yeah, and we played in Berlin today nine. 976 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: I really am so happy by the way that we 977 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: gave Berlin like a banger that that was a fun game. 978 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: I know we're so far off topic right now. Shout 979 00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: out to Patrick Ricard. By the way, while all these 980 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,840 Speaker 1: teams are heavy, we got the old school Patrick grekhard 981 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,720 Speaker 1: on the field making a big difference for the Baltimore Ravens. 982 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: All four and five records, by the way, are not 983 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 1: created equal. The Ravens four and five they feel like 984 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 1: they got a chance here in this AFC North. The Vikings, 985 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,320 Speaker 1: on the other hand, with a very difficult schedule ahead, 986 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,320 Speaker 1: are two losses back of the seventh seed in the NFC, 987 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: in the back of a few very good teams in 988 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: the division, including the Detroit Lions.

I know 997 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: it's not like as long as like these Travon Henry 998 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 1: once or as long as the Jamir Gibbs one. We'll 999 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: hear in a second, but that's like one of the 1000 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: runs of the year. I'm giving a next Greg stats 1001 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: Oh here that ngs for when he had from where 1002 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: he got the ball and where the defenders were, he 1003 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,840 Speaker 1: had a point six percent, you know, point six percent 1004 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 1: chance to get a touchdown. Actually, no one in the 1005 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 1: NFL other than Jamir Gibbs is scoring that touchdown. It's impossible. 1006 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: And I submit as great as Bajon Robinson is the 1007 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: more I watch Jamir Gibbs. I just think he is 1008 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: the best pure runner of the football, at least to 1009 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: my taste, in the NFL right now. Man, it's tough. 1010 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm not saying complete player at this that, but just 1011 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 1: as a runner, this guy is freaking ridiculous. One of 1012 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: the best pure runners I've ever seen. 1013 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 2: Yes, and we could celebrate him without immigrating. 1014 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 1: No, we have to compare and then rank. 1015 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 2: Oh we don't. 1016 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:58,319 Speaker 1: We have to pick one. No, we don't. I just did. 1017 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 2: No, we refuse, Jordan, I refused to engage Jamiir Gibbs. 1018 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 3: Special football player on a good team with a with 1019 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 3: a good play caller. 1020 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's talk about what the big story coming 1021 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 1: out of the game was, which was, Yeah, Dan Campbell 1022 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 1: decided to take over play calling. Let's hear from Dan. 1023 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,360 Speaker 21: This is all encompassing. You know, man, we all worked together, 1024 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 21: coaches did a hell of a job. But I just 1025 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 21: wanted to change it up a little bit. You know, 1026 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,840 Speaker 21: Let's just see if, if you know, maybe a different 1027 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 21: play caller can can you know, maybe get a little rhythm. 1028 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 21: That's all. 1029 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 2: And it honestly is. 1030 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,720 Speaker 21: Nothing more than that. You know, I know you're probably 1031 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 21: gonna want to ask questions about well, what about this 1032 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,880 Speaker 21: or I heard this, It's not that, it's this is 1033 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,399 Speaker 21: this was a change with many change. 1034 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 2: It was good for today. 1035 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 1: It was great forty four to twenty two. They scored 1036 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: every single possession until they finished out the game kneeling. 1037 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 1: That's that's crazy. 1038 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,240 Speaker 4: I just loved how that the pitches of his voice 1039 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 4: change where he's like, no, no, nothing is wrong. Don't 1040 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,960 Speaker 4: you dare put on the internet that something is wrong. 1041 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 3: We just made a little change, which is what a 1042 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 3: thousand people said in July fourteenth, seventeen eighty nine, formed 1043 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 3: the best deal. 1044 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 1: Just made a little change. We just wanted to say 1045 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 1: a little switch it up a little bit. 1046 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 4: John, know what you're gonna ask, Don't ask it. 1047 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 2: Don't ask it. 1048 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,800 Speaker 1: John Morton taking artillery shells here. It reminds you of 1049 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's rookie season as a head coach. Why am 1050 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 1: I forgetting who his play caller was that he replaced 1051 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: in the middle Lynn of that season, Anthony Lynn, and 1052 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 1: I don't think John Morton's going anywhere. But you saw 1053 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell with those glasses looking at his play sheet, 1054 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 1: losing his vision and the offense was awesome. Now was 1055 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,760 Speaker 1: going against the Washington Commanders, So Dan Campbell was setting 1056 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: himself up for success and it absolutely worked. What I 1057 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,320 Speaker 1: saw a lot of was we're gonna run Jamison Williams 1058 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 1: basically on the same route over and over again, and 1059 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders are not going to stop it one 1060 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: single time, and so we're gonna dress it up with 1061 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 1: different formations and we're just gonna keep making it happen. 1062 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 1: Six for one to nineteen for Jamison Williams. Amon ros 1063 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 1: Saint Brown had a couple catches in a regrettable touchdown celebration, 1064 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,399 Speaker 1: and yeah, a whole lot of Jamir Gibbs who gets 1065 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty two yards on the ground with 1066 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: just some crazy individual efforts. It is fun to watch 1067 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 1: great quarterbacks and great offenses against his commander's defense. Like, 1068 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: I know, the commander's defense stinks, but on the flip side, 1069 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 1: you get to watch them just make like great football 1070 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 1: players look their greatest. 1071 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. I like when teams and I obviously I don't 1072 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 4: like it for the other team. I'm sorry for the 1073 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,719 Speaker 4: commanders on that one, but I like when teams show 1074 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,439 Speaker 4: their work. I like when teams try things and build 1075 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 4: things in game because they have the ability to do it, 1076 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 4: whether it's a team that's going through a transition or 1077 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 4: a team that's just flat out doesn't have the guys 1078 00:52:55,600 --> 00:53:00,800 Speaker 4: like the Commanders right now, I like watching troubleshooting, game building, 1079 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 4: like I love watching those things in reason we want, 1080 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 4: you know, we want competitive games here. This is the NFL, 1081 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 4: after all, this is Roger Goodell's National Football League. We 1082 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 4: want competitive games. But I do love watching sort of 1083 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 4: you draw the different designs and then build off of 1084 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 4: them in the game like they did. 1085 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 1: Right Like there was nothing I felt bad for, Like 1086 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: Mike Sanders still at one point, who I think played 1087 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: pretty well in their secondary, was the best player in 1088 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: their secondary. But he's out there competing and everyone else 1089 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 1: is just getting filaid. Trey Amos left with an injury. 1090 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: The Commander's offense really had no chance because, like I said, 1091 00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 1: the line scored every single time they had the ball. 1092 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 1: Thirty first downs and five hundred and forty six yards 1093 00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 1: in a game where they only had eight real possessions 1094 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: before they're kneeled down. It is just outrageous efficiency from 1095 00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,680 Speaker 1: the line. So they'll get tested more coming up there 1096 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: at six and three Commanders fall to three and seven, 1097 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,720 Speaker 1: and yeah, I mentioned the long touchdown. Why don't we hear? Actually, 1098 00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,879 Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna do. I'm not gonna say 1099 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: I'm handing over play calling permanently, and maybe it won't 1100 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,359 Speaker 1: be permanent for Campbell either, but I'm gonna handover play 1101 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,839 Speaker 1: calling to Eric Roberts. I don't know if your mic 1102 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: is on right now, and you can tell me if 1103 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 1: you think this forty three yard rushing touchdown call is 1104 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: worth listening to, and if the play is worth you know, 1105 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,439 Speaker 1: listening to, I'll give you the play call here. Greg, 1106 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: I've told you in the past, if I put it 1107 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,480 Speaker 1: on the sheet, it's worth our time. I don't know. 1108 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 7: Let's go washing on defense now, got forty eight times. 1109 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 8: And home's god to five touch down Detroy lyon forty 1110 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 8: four yards, sir. 1111 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,800 Speaker 1: The mayor kids putting together a day, and the Lions 1112 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 1: have opened the lead. It is now forty one to 1113 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,480 Speaker 1: sixteen for a great call there by Dan Miller, Colomas 1114 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 1: Brown and Eric Eric Roberts. 1115 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 4: Greg, you're so red right now. 1116 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I loved I love it. When that's my 1117 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: love language is when people talk trash to me, right back. 1118 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: That's what I need, that's what I want, that's what 1119 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 1: fuels me. And and then I talk trash back to 1120 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,360 Speaker 1: him because I know sometimes some of the press conference 1121 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,000 Speaker 1: quotes you say, if you put it on the page, 1122 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: it's worth it, and sometimes they're not worth it. So 1123 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 1: that's when I have to do my Dan Campbell and 1124 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 1: be like, well, we might make a change.

The Saints 1157 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 4: are still up ten to seven and Bryce Young miss 1158 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 4: Xavier Leaguette in the end zone after climbing the pocket 1159 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,879 Speaker 4: to throw. The Panthers get their field goal blocked. During 1160 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 4: the block, it becomes a live ball and the Panthers 1161 00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 4: fall on it and get the ball back. 1162 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 2: Did they get points? 1163 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 18: No? 1164 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 4: Bryce Young and Jimmy Horn Junior fumble in exchange and 1165 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,280 Speaker 4: Pete Warner recovers for the Saints at the New Orleans 1166 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:09,479 Speaker 4: seventeen yard line. 1167 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 1: Did they get points? 1168 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:11,320 Speaker 12: No. 1169 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 4: Panthers outside linebacker Nick s Gorton gets a big sack 1170 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 4: on Tyler Shuck on fourth and four early in the 1171 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 4: fourth quarter to give the Panthers back the ball at 1172 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 4: their forty. 1173 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 2: Did they get points? 1174 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:24,080 Speaker 1: We got to do it together. 1175 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,320 Speaker 4: Bryce Young was intercepted on the next drive. It was 1176 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 4: a bad read and a bad throat. The Saints got 1177 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 4: the ball back in Panthers territory. 1178 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:34,600 Speaker 1: Did they get points? 1179 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 16: Yes. 1180 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 4: Shook hit Juwan Johnson for a thirty yard touchdown against J. C. 1181 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 1: Horn. 1182 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 4: They went up seventeen to seven after the extra point 1183 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,520 Speaker 4: and that is where it stayed. The Saints get their 1184 00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 4: second win in Tyler Shuck's second start after a long, 1185 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 4: long middle bear. 1186 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,120 Speaker 1: I guess maybe I overstated it explosively at the beginning 1187 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:03,880 Speaker 1: in terms of domination, but defensively a day where the 1188 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 1: Saints not only forced a couple turnovers you know late 1189 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 1: in the game, as you talked about, but they hold 1190 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 1: Rico Daddle to two point nine yards per carry. Bryce 1191 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 1: Young ends up with only one hundred and twenty four 1192 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 1: yards and an interception. And yeah, it was a type 1193 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,960 Speaker 1: of game that made you think the Panther season has 1194 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,720 Speaker 1: been great so far, and they can have great Sundays 1195 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: moving forward. They're five and five. The type of game 1196 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine a team that's going to wind 1197 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 1: up making the NFC playoffs losing. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, 1198 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 1: but this is one you kind of can't lose. 1199 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 16: Yeah. 1200 00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 4: And meanwhile it's like this and they the things that 1201 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 4: they were doing well. You mentioned it, running the ball 1202 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 4: really effectively with your cot they were not doing well 1203 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 4: during this game. Bryce Young did not have a great game, 1204 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 4: made some bad throws, a couple bad reads, there was 1205 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 4: miscommunications at times between himself and Ted McMillan. Tyler Schuck, 1206 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,880 Speaker 4: on the other hand, played really well. He was nineteen 1207 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 4: of twenty seven for two hundred eighty two yards and 1208 00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,840 Speaker 4: two touchdowns, a big yardage from the explosive plays. Like 1209 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,040 Speaker 4: I mentioned before, he was poised. He did not fear 1210 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,919 Speaker 4: the explosive throw. He saw the field well. A couple 1211 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,400 Speaker 4: of big time throws, and my favorite of the bunch 1212 00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,440 Speaker 4: was this third and five to Chris o'lava that Olave 1213 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 4: drew a DEPI on as he went up and got 1214 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 4: it one handed. Let's take a look at it. 1215 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 1: Oof. 1216 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 4: I mean, look at this. I told Greg to get 1217 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 4: out of his seat. Look at this. 1218 00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:25,880 Speaker 1: Olave is turning it on after a pretty slow start 1219 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 1: to the season. I feel like he has played really well. 1220 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 1: He did it with Rattler, but yes, every definitely happened 1221 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 1: with Chuck. 1222 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 4: And every angle of this just shows that not only 1223 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 4: is he excellent, excellent ball skills here, but also that 1224 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,280 Speaker 4: Shook really trusts him, that they're starting to build a 1225 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 4: little bit of chemistry together. You could definitely see that today. 1226 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 4: And by the way, this stadium, Bank of America Stadium 1227 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 4: was where his season ended last season, and he told 1228 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 4: reporters post game that he didn't really try to think 1229 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 4: about it and didn't want to think about it leading 1230 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 4: up to the game, but he got really, really anxious 1231 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,480 Speaker 4: once he stepped onto the field, and just getting out 1232 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 4: there and running around and playing football made him settle 1233 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 4: back in and feel a lot better because that was 1234 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,560 Speaker 4: a scary, scary scene for him last year and. 1235 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,840 Speaker 3: Good for him in a great performance where he gets 1236 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,479 Speaker 3: that one hander on Shaw Smith Wade and he needed 1237 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,479 Speaker 3: it needed to be one hand because Wade was fighting 1238 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 3: for his life and grabbing the other hand, and then 1239 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 3: on the touchdown pass where jac Horn has played great 1240 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,720 Speaker 3: all season long, it just it looked like jac Horn 1241 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 3: not looking like an all pro level defender on that 1242 01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,160 Speaker 3: one play, which was a rough rep for JC and 1243 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 3: Tyler Shuck did his job. 1244 01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 2: He got the bald crysal Love in a place where 1245 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:34,439 Speaker 2: he could make a play. 1246 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:35,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, And they were hand fighting a lot, and I 1247 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 4: know Panthers fans like wanted to call there. I kind 1248 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 4: of appreciated that they let them play. That's a really 1249 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,920 Speaker 4: great corner against a really great receiver. So it was 1250 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 4: it was really interesting. The player of the game still 1251 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,280 Speaker 4: to me, was Derek Brown. I mean, this man is 1252 01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 4: doing everything he possibly can and then some. He made 1253 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,960 Speaker 4: a big stop on third down at midfield when the 1254 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 4: game was still like sort of locked at that ten 1255 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,720 Speaker 4: to seven score and the Saints went for it, and 1256 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,160 Speaker 4: Derek Brown like swammed the defender and shot into the backfield. 1257 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 4: And if Alvin Kamara was not Alvin Kamara and like 1258 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 4: made half his body go limp to avoid the tackle 1259 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 4: and then shoot underneath the blocking to convert, this play 1260 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,960 Speaker 4: doesn't happen. And so it's like I would love for 1261 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 4: Derek Brown week over week over week to have more help. 1262 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 4: Jac Horn has played well for the most part. The 1263 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 4: linebackers are are hit or miss depending on the game. 1264 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 4: It's just this is an all time looking player and 1265 01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 4: in his prime right now, and you really just need 1266 01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 4: you need more from the offense. You need more from everybody. 1267 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,240 Speaker 1: And they're gonna have their their down weeks. They're not 1268 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 1: a complete football team. But for the Saints to put 1269 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: up almost four hundred yards and for Shuck to go 1270 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 1: seven of ten for two hundred and one yards and 1271 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 1: two touchdowns on third downs, yeah pretty good. I thought 1272 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,160 Speaker 1: he looked good last week. He looked pretty da Patter 1273 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,000 Speaker 1: kind of scoffed at me. I was like, I know, 1274 01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,520 Speaker 1: I know, it was ugly, but I thought he kind 1275 01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 1: of grated. He kind of did his job last week 1276 01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 1: against the Rams. I was like, it was a good 1277 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,959 Speaker 1: first performance. He's not all that matters for the Saints. 1278 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 1: They're going to have a high pick won't be quite 1279 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 1: as high after today. They're at two and eight, But 1280 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 1: his rest of the season is the most important thing 1281 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 1: about this team, and he's off to a good start. 1282 01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 4: If the Saints can remove some of the truly infuriating 1283 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 4: calls and decisions that they have on offense. I do 1284 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,600 Speaker 4: think that this becomes a more complete team. The Taysom 1285 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 4: Hill stuff. Just take it out, please take it out, 1286 01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,000 Speaker 4: especially donate it short yardage stuff. Take it out, throw 1287 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 4: it away. He could still be on the team and 1288 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:28,920 Speaker 4: have a great time, and you can use him on 1289 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,400 Speaker 4: some of the little sort of like running back hybrid 1290 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 4: full back packages, but like, do stop lining them up 1291 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,440 Speaker 4: in short yardage where everybody and their mother knows what's 1292 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,720 Speaker 4: going to happen, and then you can't even get a yard. 1293 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,440 Speaker 1: Okay, a couple more things with this game. Number one, 1294 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:49,080 Speaker 1: the survivor pick is over. You all wanted to take 1295 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, not a top twenty five team. I 1296 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 1: think in Dboa coming into week you all wanted to 1297 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,439 Speaker 1: take them as a survivor pick. I said, I didn't 1298 01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 1: like it. I don't support it, but I had to 1299 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 1: go along with you guys. 1300 01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 2: What game did you want? 1301 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 1: I wanted the Seattle Seahawks against the Arizona Cardinals, and 1302 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:11,040 Speaker 1: you guys did not want that. 1303 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,680 Speaker 4: So you know, your memory is an interesting place. 1304 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 1: It's just a fact. It's literally on the podcast that 1305 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 1: everyone can. 1306 01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 4: Listen to, you're saying your selective memory. 1307 01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 1: Eric well, I might have. I might have been reminded before. 1308 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,680 Speaker 4: Greg. You forget so many things frequently, but when you're right, 1309 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:29,840 Speaker 4: you're trying. 1310 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 22: To remind him about it, because now he just show 1311 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 22: that Greg does not listen to like the bad music, 1312 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 22: like the surviving music played into the game. And then 1313 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 22: I hit him up in the middle of us and 1314 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 22: he had the biggest like, yeah, oh that's right, but 1315 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,000 Speaker 22: yeah no. He ended last the preview show with a 1316 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 22: I win either way, because if we win, we win, 1317 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,439 Speaker 22: and then if we lose, you guys lose. 1318 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. Selective memory is yeah, well that that. 1319 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,160 Speaker 1: Comes in my ear from my excellent producersfurcating himself and 1320 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 1: removing himself from from terrible what we seek to terrible leadership. 1321 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 2: Uh here, it's not just. 1322 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 4: Shrabile removing himself from the personnel department when he likes him. 1323 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 1: That's true, But no, I ultimately hold myself responsible because 1324 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,200 Speaker 1: I could have. I could have just should have just 1325 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:21,080 Speaker 1: stopped it. It's just true. It's no respect. I should 1326 01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:24,800 Speaker 1: have stopped it from happening. What else is that Carolina Panthers. 1327 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,560 Speaker 1: At least they came through on our picks with Cynthia Friedland. 1328 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: That's six straight winning weeks. By the way, on that 1329 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 1: before we go to the next game, I did want 1330 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: to mention here that Paul Taglibou passed away overnight and 1331 01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,240 Speaker 1: he was eighty four years old, and he was a 1332 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 1: commissioner of the NFL for a long time, and uh, 1333 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:45,880 Speaker 1: I thought this was a spot to do it, because 1334 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,360 Speaker 1: he did one of the best things that I've seen 1335 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 1: any commissioner in any sport do. And that's what stands 1336 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,000 Speaker 1: out to me is ple Tagley when he helped save 1337 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,800 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. Younger listeners might not remember, like 1338 01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 1: it was flat out reported by ESPN that the New 1339 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints were moving to San Antonio, and Tom Benson 1340 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 1: had made a lot of moves leading up to that 1341 01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,280 Speaker 1: report after Hurricane Katrina. He was going to take the 1342 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:14,920 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints away from that city after Hurricane Katrina, 1343 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,000 Speaker 1: and Paul Taglibu, according to all the reporting at the 1344 01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,200 Speaker 1: time and afterwards, stepped in there and said, that is 1345 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 1: not happening. That is not happy on our watch. So 1346 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,760 Speaker 1: in some part, the New Orleans Saints are are still 1347 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,360 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints because of Paul Taglibu. So rest 1348 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 1: in peace to Paul Taglibu eighty four years old. Let's 1349 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: go to Chicago. 1350 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 9: Motion to the right on second at eight from the 1351 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,280 Speaker 9: seventeen Klea Williams under center drags another Titan smipeon the motion. 1352 01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,480 Speaker 9: Here's the snap of the playfake Williams rolling to his 1353 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 9: left running. 1354 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:50,400 Speaker 8: Now fifteen two hands old Jip Chozen touchdown in the 1355 01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 8: blue peg. 1356 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:58,200 Speaker 9: Caleb Williams seventeen yards. Took care of business himself. He 1357 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:03,439 Speaker 9: absolutely did throughout the fourth quarter of that game. Six 1358 01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:09,080 Speaker 9: different scrambles, three for explosive plays. Caleb Williams gets it 1359 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:14,640 Speaker 9: done with his legs, with his improvisational skills, and let's 1360 01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 9: just say it, with his daring do this Chicago Bears team. 1361 01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,680 Speaker 9: You can put them behind in the fourth quarter, they 1362 01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 9: will find a way to win. Twenty four to twenty 1363 01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:26,720 Speaker 9: two touchdowns in the final four minutes of this game. 1364 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:31,520 Speaker 9: Another heartbreak loss for the New York Giants. 1365 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,960 Speaker 1: More on that in a second. But I think you 1366 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 1: got to give some love to Caleb when we criticize 1367 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:44,080 Speaker 1: him for maybe relying too much on just making it 1368 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 1: up as he goes along and not staying in structure. 1369 01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 1: I think you have to recognize the moments in a 1370 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 1: game like this one where some of the plays he 1371 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 1: was making out of structure were just incredible that maybe 1372 01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:01,280 Speaker 1: no other quarterback could make and it wouldn't have been 1373 01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 1: necessary maybe in these final moments if his receivers had 1374 01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 1: caught some of those great plays that he made. A 1375 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 1: couple of Zakias drops and other ones in this game 1376 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 1: did not help Caleb Williams out, and he was not perfect, 1377 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,800 Speaker 1: but he was a playmaker when they absolutely needed it. 1378 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:17,120 Speaker 2: Today. 1379 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe the six drops total for the game 1380 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:22,960 Speaker 4: is the highest in any one NFL game so far 1381 01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,840 Speaker 4: this season. And I love it because it is Also 1382 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 4: we've talked a lot about, oh, Caleb Williams and his 1383 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,760 Speaker 4: development and Caleb Williams and learning the system and figuring 1384 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 4: out how to you know, be with Ben Johnson and 1385 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 4: all that. It's the reverse. Also, it's Ben Johnson understanding, like, 1386 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 4: what are the prime moments, in the exact right moments 1387 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 4: to let this guy loose and to really do the 1388 01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 4: things that make him so special as a quarterback and 1389 01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,160 Speaker 4: as just someone who sees the game in this very 1390 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,400 Speaker 4: like seven dimensional way. It's just very very cool. And 1391 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,880 Speaker 4: I loved that there were snow flurries in this game, 1392 01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 4: and we got all these slow motion shots of him 1393 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 4: doing these insane like plane bending things, and the snow 1394 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 4: is swirling and the Bears fans can't even believe they're 1395 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 4: good fortune. They're all bundled up and hugging each other 1396 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,200 Speaker 4: at the game like this was. This was a poetic, 1397 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,000 Speaker 4: poetic game. Not if you're the Giants, no not, but 1398 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,839 Speaker 4: out of the ways or the Bears fans, this was poetry. 1399 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 1: And this was, you know, a game where both teams 1400 01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 1: had so many missed opportunities. There were two turnovers on 1401 01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,479 Speaker 1: downs by each team in the first half where they're 1402 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 1: going for fourth downs deep in the you know other 1403 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 1: teams end. One time it was at midfield for the Giants, 1404 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:38,880 Speaker 1: but they're driving and they're struggling on those fourth downs. 1405 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 1: There were some crazy, you know decisions by the quarterbacks 1406 01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 1: at times where they're almost going for too much. But 1407 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 1: ultimately the Giants are ahead seventeen to seven in this 1408 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:55,000 Speaker 1: game before Jackson Dart runs for the sixth time in 1409 01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: the final time he did on the day, and his 1410 01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 1: legs were such a huge part of this game. He 1411 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 1: gets sixty six yards on the ground. He's a great 1412 01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 1: runner and he scores two touchdowns on the ground, but 1413 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,920 Speaker 1: he takes a shot and he fumbles the ball while 1414 01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:13,559 Speaker 1: he takes a shot, and the Bears recover that play 1415 01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,040 Speaker 1: and the game really turned there. He did not leave 1416 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,639 Speaker 1: the game right away after that play, which is where 1417 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,200 Speaker 1: he suffered his concussion. He re entered the game for 1418 01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 1: a couple more snaps and he clearly wasn't right in hindsight, 1419 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,280 Speaker 1: and then he left the game. Russell Wilson finished it 1420 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,559 Speaker 1: out and in the final three drives with Russell Wilson 1421 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 1: at the helm, the Giants had a total of seven yards. 1422 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 1: So essentially, the Giants offense and the Bears defense against 1423 01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:47,559 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson gave Caleb Williams those opportunities and he needed 1424 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,360 Speaker 1: them because they failed to score on the first one 1425 01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:53,240 Speaker 1: of those post Russell Wilson drives, and they needed their 1426 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 1: defense to get him the ball back and he did. 1427 01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:59,680 Speaker 1: But really a depressing loss for the Giants to go 1428 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,640 Speaker 1: to and it just feels so familiar, and even in 1429 01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 1: a game where you really feel like you found your quarterback, 1430 01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,680 Speaker 1: there's the yeah butt, not just the loss, but the 1431 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,960 Speaker 1: yeah but this guy needs to protect himself more. 1432 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. The feeling it's familiar because the Giants have blown 1433 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 4: four ten plus point leads this hotly cow. So yeah, 1434 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,760 Speaker 4: of course the sense the ominous dread even when things 1435 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 4: are going right. This is a team. You know, there's 1436 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 4: a specific type of anxiety called catastrophizing, and this is 1437 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,840 Speaker 4: a team that is the actual embodiment of it, because 1438 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,720 Speaker 4: at what cost something good happens for them, they gain 1439 01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,840 Speaker 4: some positive progress, and you just have this feeling like 1440 01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,240 Speaker 4: something is lurking and looming around the corner. That is 1441 01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:45,120 Speaker 4: just I feel for Giants fans, I feel for the players, 1442 01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 4: I feel for the I feel for everybody because it 1443 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,759 Speaker 4: just all it just feels like this is a pattern 1444 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 4: that they cannot get out of. 1445 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,679 Speaker 3: Well, the pattern that they were in in this game 1446 01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,040 Speaker 3: was pulling tackles and guards with Jackson Dart and going 1447 01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 3: straight quarterback power and having a whole lot of success. 1448 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,720 Speaker 3: So even on the play where Dart does fumble and 1449 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:04,800 Speaker 3: him reaching and trying to get the fumble, I think 1450 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,800 Speaker 3: was key in the way that his head actually hit 1451 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,000 Speaker 3: the ground, which the fumble happens kind of before the 1452 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:15,040 Speaker 3: ultimate injury there. And it just to see Russell Wilson 1453 01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,920 Speaker 3: come in the game and so to Russ's benefit. The 1454 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 3: game's not at net Life, so they can't boo him 1455 01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,960 Speaker 3: the moment that he steps onto the field, which is 1456 01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 3: something that they're doing. But everything is completely different. And 1457 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,920 Speaker 3: I understand that Russell Wilson is a veteran quarterback that 1458 01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 3: can't run like he used to, but you could still 1459 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,320 Speaker 3: have Russ run. And Russ did scramble in this game. 1460 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 3: And to defend Russ, because Dart wasn't officially ruled out, 1461 01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,800 Speaker 3: he did have a forty one yard completion before Dart 1462 01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:42,160 Speaker 3: was officially ruled out. And they have a goal to 1463 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 3: go situation inside the five, and they wound up getting 1464 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 3: a young Way coup field goal. You gotta wonder, like, 1465 01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,320 Speaker 3: why why is it that the offense looks so entirely different? 1466 01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,719 Speaker 3: And when the rookie quarterback is in first the veteran quarterback, 1467 01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,200 Speaker 3: can you not make it look somewhat simire? 1468 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,879 Speaker 1: Well, can you run the because you might get fired 1469 01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,479 Speaker 1: tomorrow or Tuesday and you're gonna go out, Sorry, you're 1470 01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,240 Speaker 1: gonna go out. Not going for it. There was a 1471 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:13,120 Speaker 1: penalty on the young waykup field goal that then pushed 1472 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,080 Speaker 1: the ball and they were already inside the five, but 1473 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,479 Speaker 1: push the ball to the one yard line, and Brian 1474 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,400 Speaker 1: Dable up seven points at that point, says, we're gonna 1475 01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: take the three points. We're not gonna take it off 1476 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,840 Speaker 1: the board instead of going for the touchdown to try 1477 01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,680 Speaker 1: to win this, just try to get a yard, try 1478 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:32,759 Speaker 1: to be a team and if not, trust your defense 1479 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,040 Speaker 1: to stop them from getting a ninety nine yard drive. 1480 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 1: And if not that then you're you're in a tie 1481 01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:41,040 Speaker 1: ball game. Anyways, and he keeps the three points on 1482 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,679 Speaker 1: and that that is Mike Tomlin when he talks about 1483 01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,759 Speaker 1: living in your fears, that is living in your fears. 1484 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,679 Speaker 1: And it's disappointing because Jackson Dart played awesome in this game. 1485 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,599 Speaker 1: I am really getting convinced about Jackson Dart. Like as 1486 01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 1: great as Caleb Williams played in this game, Jackson Dart 1487 01:12:56,680 --> 01:13:00,600 Speaker 1: was as good in this game like the ground but 1488 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:04,400 Speaker 1: also a lot of money throws for fifty five minutes 1489 01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:06,800 Speaker 1: of this game. It was really such a different story. 1490 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 1: And I think they found their guy. I mean, I 1491 01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:11,599 Speaker 1: know it's like a small sample size, but Manny has 1492 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 1: been better than I expected. So that kind of like 1493 01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,280 Speaker 1: Drake may last year for the Patriots, I'm not putting 1494 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 1: him at Like, I'm not saying they're the same players, 1495 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 1: but I think they got to feel pretty good even 1496 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,599 Speaker 1: if this is a totally lost season with a coach 1497 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 1: that gets fired like the Patriots a year. 1498 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, well that the organization very clearly believes that they've 1499 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:28,680 Speaker 4: they've found their guy. And you can feel it the 1500 01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,840 Speaker 4: way that the team previously has galvanized behind him, and 1501 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,680 Speaker 4: they found their running back and they galvanized behind him, 1502 01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:39,000 Speaker 4: and everybody is galvanizing behind these these two players, and 1503 01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:41,840 Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, you know it is a 1504 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,240 Speaker 4: double edged sword because of his play style at which 1505 01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 4: he is the most successful. This is the second trip 1506 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,680 Speaker 4: to the Blue Tent, and obviously one went you know, 1507 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 4: the way of Jackson Dart would have preferred, and the 1508 01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:56,439 Speaker 4: other one he clearly is in the concussion protocol. So 1509 01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,920 Speaker 4: it is something to think about when you're playing like 1510 01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,639 Speaker 4: this and you have so much hope and everything feels 1511 01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,439 Speaker 4: like maybe the dawn is coming around the corner of 1512 01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:06,719 Speaker 4: the hopes. What kills you something? 1513 01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,519 Speaker 1: I know, they had so many cool creative plays who 1514 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: it was way more under center runs. It was actually 1515 01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,519 Speaker 1: way less in Shotgun. They had Andrew Thomas playing tight 1516 01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 1: end on the right side on one play that was 1517 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,240 Speaker 1: so cool and then in the end you have to 1518 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:25,759 Speaker 1: wonder like they set a all time Giants road losing 1519 01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:29,640 Speaker 1: streak record, which Brian Table was asked about during the 1520 01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,760 Speaker 1: week by a very gutsy reporter Pat Leonard, who was 1521 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,200 Speaker 1: just like, what do you think about that? 1522 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:40,000 Speaker 4: It just okay, has no fear. Pat is the Jackson 1523 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,479 Speaker 4: dark power run Yes of Beat report. 1524 01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 18: He is that. 1525 01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,360 Speaker 1: He is the ced deuce of Beat reporters. Chauncey Gardner. 1526 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,880 Speaker 1: Johnson is the one that forced that fumble. He has 1527 01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: three sacks in two games as a member of the 1528 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:56,759 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, and it's been absolutely crucial in their winning 1529 01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:01,360 Speaker 1: those to save da and it's c that is amazing. 1530 01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,479 Speaker 1: Let's take one break and let's say goodbye to you guys. 1531 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:05,800 Speaker 1: This was a lot of fun. 1532 01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 2: You know. 1533 01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 1: Why he came at me. He pushed, we pulled. It's 1534 01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:19,920 Speaker 1: all part of the beautiful CORNICOPI have sports. 1535 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:23,040 Speaker 2: Have a good rest of the show. Everybody. 1536 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:33,840 Speaker 11: Third down and twelve Bushett, Let's get hit again. Ball 1537 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,639 Speaker 11: bounces Are you kidding me? And go to j Logan 1538 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:39,720 Speaker 11: another touchdown? 1539 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:47,400 Speaker 8: Three Hawks, Holy catfish, I think strikes twice. Go to 1540 01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:52,360 Speaker 8: see Hawks kay Fens Corsett rims back to throw, gets. 1541 01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:55,759 Speaker 1: Hit, arm's not going forward, ball. 1542 01:15:55,640 --> 01:16:01,200 Speaker 8: Bounces right to DeMarcus Lawrence his second touchdown of the game. 1543 01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 1: You can watch football for the next one hundred years. 1544 01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:13,320 Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to see the same player, 1545 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 1: Tyrese Knight, in this case, force a fumble and have 1546 01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman return it for a touchdown for more 1547 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 1: than twenty yards twice in the same first half in 1548 01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 1: an NFL game. Ever, again, I mean that is absolutely outrageous. 1549 01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,679 Speaker 1: Tyree Knight did it in the first quarter. DeMarcus Lawrence 1550 01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 1: goes thirty four yards. He does it in the second quarter. 1551 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence goes twenty two yards wild Steve Rabel kit 1552 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 1: kiro that was Dave Wyman two. Yeah, DeMarcus Lawrence had 1553 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,280 Speaker 1: a data remember it, so did the defense. Forty four 1554 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:52,880 Speaker 1: to twenty to. Nick Schuk has joined us, and you 1555 01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: get to describe how this Seahawks team is coming up 1556 01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 1: with new and insane ways to embarrass who whover they're 1557 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:01,040 Speaker 1: playing that week. 1558 01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,400 Speaker 16: Well, first off, you're an absolute pro for team me 1559 01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,400 Speaker 16: up for this because you're right, you won't see that 1560 01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,519 Speaker 16: happen twice in a game. You know why because DeMarcus 1561 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,320 Speaker 16: Loris became the first player at NFL history with multiple 1562 01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 16: defensive fubble return touchdowns of twenty plus yard Okay, thank you, 1563 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,639 Speaker 16: thank you okay, And he joined a group of three 1564 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 16: other players, one happening in nineteen twenty for just returning 1565 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 16: multiple fumbles for touchdowns and may they. 1566 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,200 Speaker 1: Both came from Tyres Night Like he made the bigger 1567 01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:26,840 Speaker 1: He was the better player on those I mean they 1568 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:28,400 Speaker 1: were both great, but yeah, he made. 1569 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 16: The plays shockingly identical or nearly identical to the point 1570 01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:33,880 Speaker 16: where it happens the first time and you're like, oh, wow, 1571 01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,560 Speaker 16: that's great, and then it happens again and I'm like rewinding, 1572 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,720 Speaker 16: like did did am I watching the same player that 1573 01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 16: happened before? 1574 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 23: I know? 1575 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,919 Speaker 13: The score is different. The Seahawks are a monster defensively. 1576 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 16: We've talked about this for weeks, but it felt like 1577 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,439 Speaker 16: this may have been the first game where I watched 1578 01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,160 Speaker 16: the Seahawks take the field with nothing but aggression on 1579 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:52,639 Speaker 16: their mind, like we are going to take the fight 1580 01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 16: to the opponent. 1581 01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 13: We are going to get after them relentlessly. We're gonna blitz. 1582 01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:58,400 Speaker 16: We don't care what the repercussions could be if we 1583 01:17:58,439 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 16: don't get home, because we know we're gonna get home, 1584 01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 16: and they got home plenty. They wrecked the Cardinals offense. 1585 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,680 Speaker 16: The Seahawks offense continues to be very productive. Before you 1586 01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:08,639 Speaker 16: knew it, blink and I they're up twenty eight nothing. 1587 01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:10,400 Speaker 16: At one point in this game, they're up thirty five 1588 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 16: to nothing. The Cardinals were buried before they could even 1589 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,280 Speaker 16: get out of bed, and we basically cruised from there 1590 01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:17,280 Speaker 16: forty four to twenty two. 1591 01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 13: Year final. 1592 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:21,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean in a game where Sam Darnold ends 1593 01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:26,120 Speaker 1: up losing three turnovers in like a five possessions you 1594 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,280 Speaker 1: know span and it doesn't matter at all. Like that's 1595 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,800 Speaker 1: how you know your team is great, because, yeah, that 1596 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 1: thirty five nothing, it's not like it took that long 1597 01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 1: to get there. It's like early second quarter, that midway 1598 01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 1: that happens. Yeah, it's insane. They had ten quarterback hits 1599 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,439 Speaker 1: in the game. They also had ten passes defense, so 1600 01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,200 Speaker 1: they're filling up the stat sheet and they just have 1601 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,920 Speaker 1: so many different players doing it. Nick em and Worry 1602 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 1: looking great And at one point the yardage was two 1603 01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:55,960 Speaker 1: ten to thirty two. And this is just an answer Shook. 1604 01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,040 Speaker 1: I was unaware that there were some haters, according to 1605 01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:03,320 Speaker 1: Eric Roberts telling me to our power rankings putting the 1606 01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,080 Speaker 1: Seahawks number one. Apparently the Seahawks are way lower everywhere else. 1607 01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:10,799 Speaker 1: And I'd like to just present this game as exhibit 1608 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 1: a why the haters can eat it and why I 1609 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:15,599 Speaker 1: never hear from the haters anyways. 1610 01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,120 Speaker 16: Yeah, feather in the cap. Look who was right for 1611 01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,120 Speaker 16: at least one week, these two guys. 1612 01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's the NFL. They play the Rams 1613 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,320 Speaker 1: next week. What do you what do you think about 1614 01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,719 Speaker 1: the fact that you know, Kyler Murray goes on injured 1615 01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,599 Speaker 1: reserve and would this game been any different? Like it's 1616 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:34,320 Speaker 1: a statue of a quarterback back there not the guy 1617 01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:35,640 Speaker 1: who's going to be able to get away from this 1618 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,160 Speaker 1: sort of pass rush, Jacoby Brissett. 1619 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,960 Speaker 16: I mean, there are more statutsu quarterbacks in the NFL, 1620 01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,639 Speaker 16: looking at you, Joe Flacco than Jacoby Brissette. But yes, 1621 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,240 Speaker 16: he is not a very mobile guy and when he 1622 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 16: does try to run, he usually gets hawked down. So 1623 01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,320 Speaker 16: that's a fair point to make. But I think that 1624 01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,280 Speaker 16: against this Seahawks defense, this might sound hyperbolic. That's fine. 1625 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:51,920 Speaker 1: You can call me. 1626 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,519 Speaker 13: You know, I'm drinking the Seahawks kool aid. I don't care. 1627 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 16: They are so good at getting pressure from so many 1628 01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 16: different angles that I don't care who's playing quarterback back there, 1629 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,600 Speaker 16: because they're gonna get home, especially, you know, against a 1630 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,720 Speaker 16: team that's struggling to pick up blitzes like they did. 1631 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,280 Speaker 16: The first Tyrese Knight Force fumble was five man rush. 1632 01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 16: The second one was a six man rush. They both 1633 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,800 Speaker 16: looked identical because that's how good they are at scheme 1634 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:14,640 Speaker 16: me up different ways to get after the quarterback. So 1635 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,439 Speaker 16: I don't really think it's quarterback dependent. And I will 1636 01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:19,280 Speaker 16: give the Cardinals a little bit of credit because. 1637 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 13: They did battle in this game. They did find a 1638 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:22,320 Speaker 13: way to get some things going. 1639 01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:26,479 Speaker 16: Jacoby Brissette was feeding Marvin Harrison Junior twelve times three connections, 1640 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 16: Harrison looking very visibly frustrated, but they did have a really. 1641 01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,800 Speaker 13: Nice back shoulder fade, so they stayed in the fight. 1642 01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,640 Speaker 16: But ultimately, when you fall behind by that much and 1643 01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:39,000 Speaker 16: then you allow the Seahawks to call the vast majority 1644 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 16: of their plays, I believe it was let's see, I 1645 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:41,760 Speaker 16: have the number here. 1646 01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:42,799 Speaker 13: They called a run. 1647 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:46,320 Speaker 16: Play seventy eight percent of the time, like you know what, 1648 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,599 Speaker 16: the script is gonna be there. It's the third highest 1649 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:49,200 Speaker 16: rate in the next. 1650 01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:50,920 Speaker 13: Gen game in a game in the next gen aras 1651 01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:51,959 Speaker 13: Wow fixteen. 1652 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing, and you know what, they were pretty 1653 01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,639 Speaker 1: efficient doing it. So before we moved from this game, 1654 01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,240 Speaker 1: just what did you see out of this running game 1655 01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 1: with ken Walker in Sharbonay. 1656 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 16: Some quality blocking but really tackle breaking, whether it was 1657 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,280 Speaker 16: sharbon Ay or Walker, especially Sharbonay just running through guys. 1658 01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:10,519 Speaker 16: It seemed like they I don't know if this is 1659 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,880 Speaker 16: something that's new or that they had an approach they 1660 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:14,519 Speaker 16: were focused on this going into this game, but it 1661 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,640 Speaker 16: felt like they were running with an intent to be 1662 01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:18,880 Speaker 16: more violent, if that makes sense, even to the point 1663 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,280 Speaker 16: where George Lani's getting involved and he had seven carries 1664 01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:22,960 Speaker 16: for thirty one yards, but all of his runs were 1665 01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,080 Speaker 16: really hard and there was a it was a run 1666 01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:27,920 Speaker 16: by Sharbonay, a long one where he kind of like 1667 01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:29,760 Speaker 16: it's basically like you get the block here, you get 1668 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:31,439 Speaker 16: the block here, you hit the hole, You're You're through it, 1669 01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:33,960 Speaker 16: You're through it. Like they're repeatedly hitting the hole with burst, 1670 01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:35,599 Speaker 16: which is something that they've lacked before. 1671 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:36,840 Speaker 13: It Wasn't you know. 1672 01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:39,120 Speaker 16: It's not like watching Jonathan Taylor run, for example, but 1673 01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:41,559 Speaker 16: it was really encouraging considering the fact that they've struggled 1674 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:42,519 Speaker 16: to run the ball consistently. 1675 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Seven and two atop the division, atop the conference. Early 1676 01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:49,600 Speaker 1: NFC game of the year, although we kind of have 1677 01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:51,360 Speaker 1: one every week coming up. We also have one on 1678 01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:56,519 Speaker 1: Monday night join us on YouTube live me and shook 1679 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,160 Speaker 1: Eagles Packers. That's going to be really fun. But next 1680 01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 1: week we weirdly buried at a four h five window, 1681 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,600 Speaker 1: not four twenty five. It's not The national game is 1682 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:06,720 Speaker 1: Seahawks Rams, so really looking forward to that. I am 1683 01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:08,800 Speaker 1: sure Sam Darnold is gonna have to throw the ball 1684 01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,559 Speaker 1: more than twelve times. What a bizarre stat line, by 1685 01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:16,280 Speaker 1: the way, two incompletions sixteen yards per attempt. But the 1686 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:20,759 Speaker 1: three turnovers too. So weird game. Great game, Seahawks showing 1687 01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,800 Speaker 1: they are an absolute wagon. Let's go to what I 1688 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:29,799 Speaker 1: felt was one of the dumbest, most fun ridiculous games 1689 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:31,679 Speaker 1: of the entire twenty twenty five season. 1690 01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,840 Speaker 18: Hold on, buckle up thirty seven seconds to go twenty 1691 01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 18: nine to twenty four, Texans trailing third and goal at 1692 01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:43,800 Speaker 18: the fourteen. Mills shotgun Marks to his left. Two receivers 1693 01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:47,600 Speaker 18: watchside right. Here's the snap, Davis looking, Davis stepping to 1694 01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:48,640 Speaker 18: his left, Davis. 1695 01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:48,840 Speaker 2: On the run. 1696 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:54,799 Speaker 1: Ten Davis five Davis to the corner. Davis touchdown, go stand. 1697 01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:56,759 Speaker 9: The Texans take. 1698 01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 12: The lead on the Mill scramble. Amazing. Dmails gets it done. Damails. 1699 01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,360 Speaker 1: He stuck his knock out and he got the win, 1700 01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:15,400 Speaker 1: and he got the over two hundred and twelve passing 1701 01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:19,599 Speaker 1: yards that I put on game debut. Thank you, Davis Mills. 1702 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:27,040 Speaker 1: Mark Vandermir on k I l T. Davis Mills was 1703 01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 1: the quarterback of an NFL team Shook that outscored their 1704 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:37,240 Speaker 1: opponent on Sunday twenty six to nothing in the fourth quarter. 1705 01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 1: True or false? True false. 1706 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:42,479 Speaker 13: I mean it happened. 1707 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:43,439 Speaker 1: I watched it happen. 1708 01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:46,160 Speaker 13: Okay, I thought there was a follow up there. I'm 1709 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:46,599 Speaker 13: more shocked. 1710 01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,599 Speaker 16: I've never heard your voice go to that range before. 1711 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:50,280 Speaker 16: I'm still stunned that you could get there. 1712 01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:52,760 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you give me a chance to 1713 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 1: make a Mark Vandermir impression. I'm gonna take it. What 1714 01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 1: happened because I joined late and this this was a 1715 01:23:59,000 --> 01:23:59,479 Speaker 1: lot of fun. 1716 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,479 Speaker 16: Okay, So late third quarter, Jack's going on eleven play, 1717 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,240 Speaker 16: fifty eight yard drive, Eatn finishes off for the touchdown run. 1718 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,599 Speaker 16: It looks like they've buried the Texans. This game is over. 1719 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 16: The Texans defense can't stop them enough to make it 1720 01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,960 Speaker 16: a game. And then the Texans find a way to 1721 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 16: move the football. Davis Mills starts throwing it with zero 1722 01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,080 Speaker 16: fear for what might happen, and they get down the 1723 01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 16: field thirteen plays, sixty five yards, four minutes and seventeen seconds. 1724 01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 16: It's twenty nine to eighteen. Okay, what maybe they're only 1725 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 16: down eleven. They have a shot, because that's when the 1726 01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,760 Speaker 16: Texans defense remembered who they were. Three and out, get 1727 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,920 Speaker 16: the ball back to Davis Mills. Another touchdown, dime of 1728 01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,639 Speaker 16: a pass thrown to Dalton Schultz over two defenders. Three 1729 01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:40,200 Speaker 16: and out again, give Davis Mills the ball again. It's 1730 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,519 Speaker 16: third and ten. They're deep inside their own territory. Who 1731 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,479 Speaker 16: does he look for? He breaks the pockety rolls right. 1732 01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,679 Speaker 16: He finds Dalton Schultz on a perfect pass that keeps 1733 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:49,679 Speaker 16: that drive going, and in the biggest moment, you heard 1734 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 16: it right there, Davis Mills takes off, shows off the 1735 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,800 Speaker 16: athleticism and gets into the end zone. And by the 1736 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,000 Speaker 16: end of this game, when the game finally ended with 1737 01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 16: a Shelton Rankins fumble return for a touchdown, Liam Cohen 1738 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:03,799 Speaker 16: was so angry. 1739 01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:07,400 Speaker 13: He threw his play sheet. He threw his headset. He 1740 01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:08,519 Speaker 13: tried to walk. 1741 01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,040 Speaker 16: Toward where he'd thrown it, as if he couldn't get 1742 01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 16: off the field faster if he wanted to. There goes 1743 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,559 Speaker 16: the headset. If you're watching on YouTube, he ends up 1744 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,800 Speaker 16: throwing the play sheet. Boom gone. Now he goes to 1745 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,960 Speaker 16: the belt, drop the ball. I'll throw up the headset. 1746 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:21,599 Speaker 16: I might as well start taking clothes off at this point. 1747 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:23,559 Speaker 13: That's how upset I am with the way this game went. 1748 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,920 Speaker 13: And it was all because the Texans their willingness to battle. 1749 01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:27,320 Speaker 16: Baby. 1750 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 1: You saw the assistant that was behind them that immediately 1751 01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:35,360 Speaker 1: starts picking it up, and then you see Liam see 1752 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,400 Speaker 1: the assistant picking it up, and then so he goes 1753 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,400 Speaker 1: and picks up part of the other because he's feeling 1754 01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:44,000 Speaker 1: bad that he's making his assistant pick it up, and 1755 01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:46,639 Speaker 1: he was not happy. Let's listen to Liam Cohen after 1756 01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 1: the game. 1757 01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:51,640 Speaker 23: The whole message was to squeeze the life out of 1758 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:55,000 Speaker 23: these guys in the second half and go take it. 1759 01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:55,960 Speaker 1: Go take it. 1760 01:25:56,080 --> 01:26:00,439 Speaker 23: And it's been a frustration for a while now, obviously, 1761 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:05,479 Speaker 23: the combination of lack of getting to the quarterback and 1762 01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:10,439 Speaker 23: when we do finishing it. But it definitely needs to 1763 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,200 Speaker 23: continue to get evaluated and see who can help us 1764 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:13,960 Speaker 23: do those things too. 1765 01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:16,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, so, yeah, they haven't been getting much of a 1766 01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:19,479 Speaker 1: pass rush. It's interesting he called that out specifically. In 1767 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,880 Speaker 1: the end, the Texans almost doubled up the Jags and 1768 01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:26,679 Speaker 1: yards four twelve to two thirteen. And anytime you outscore 1769 01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,160 Speaker 1: an opponent twenty six to nothing in the fourth quarter, 1770 01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,400 Speaker 1: like that's a candidate for one of the craziest games 1771 01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:35,280 Speaker 1: of the year. When you do it in this fashion 1772 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:40,760 Speaker 1: with Davis Mills, you know, running for a touchdown after 1773 01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,040 Speaker 1: you have first and goal at the two yard line 1774 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,320 Speaker 1: and then you end up at second in goal on 1775 01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:48,320 Speaker 1: the fourteen yard line because you're just textinging it up 1776 01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 1: with all these penalties to move you back, and then 1777 01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:54,360 Speaker 1: Davis Mills runs it in of all things. And then 1778 01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 1: when that's followed up by just one of the most 1779 01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: delightful ways to finish the game of the season, that's 1780 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 1: that's where you get into special territory. Let's listen. 1781 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 2: Three man rush. 1782 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,360 Speaker 18: It appears on first and twenty for the Jags from 1783 01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:09,559 Speaker 18: their thirty five Lawrence and the gun bunch four nation 1784 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:13,040 Speaker 18: left seven seconds to go. Here's the snap to Trevor 1785 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:16,440 Speaker 18: Lawrence backing up, stepping up, Lawrence tripped. 1786 01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:17,000 Speaker 1: Up, the balls out. 1787 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:21,880 Speaker 18: The Texans have it across the twenty fifteen ten five touchdown. 1788 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:25,160 Speaker 1: Houston rackins game over. 1789 01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,800 Speaker 4: The Texans win it. 1790 01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:34,520 Speaker 1: Houston comes all the way back to defeat the Jaguars. 1791 01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:40,640 Speaker 12: The Texans have changed their season around with a traumatic 1792 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:41,960 Speaker 12: comeback for the Agents. 1793 01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:45,760 Speaker 1: I love it and I believe it. They needed this 1794 01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:48,680 Speaker 1: one to get to four and five. I mean, now 1795 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,559 Speaker 1: chef's kiss for that to be the final play. But also, 1796 01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:53,479 Speaker 1: what was Trevor Lawrence doing there again? 1797 01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:56,200 Speaker 16: What was happening on that trying to break the pocket 1798 01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:58,320 Speaker 16: and find somebody down to Here's the thing. Two plays prior, 1799 01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:00,240 Speaker 16: maybe it was a play prior, he actually through a 1800 01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:01,720 Speaker 16: really good ball to the sideline that would have put 1801 01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 16: them in cam Little's range. 1802 01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:05,120 Speaker 13: Gets called back for illegal hands in the face. 1803 01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:06,880 Speaker 16: The sixth lineman got his hands in the face, and 1804 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:09,479 Speaker 16: that was because they couldn't stop the Texans pass rush 1805 01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:11,800 Speaker 16: in the fourth quarter, daneil Hunter three and a half 1806 01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,000 Speaker 16: sacks tied a career high. He was a big part 1807 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,880 Speaker 16: of it, so was Will Anderson. So at that point, 1808 01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:17,840 Speaker 16: Lawrence has nothing left to do but try to find 1809 01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:20,040 Speaker 16: somebody downfield with the clock essentially expired. 1810 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:22,960 Speaker 1: Oh you too, You're too kind to him, And there 1811 01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:23,360 Speaker 1: you go. 1812 01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:25,320 Speaker 13: You get the turnover that ends the game. 1813 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 16: Although Sheldon Megan's almost got the leon Lett treatment, like 1814 01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:29,519 Speaker 16: there was a little bit of Don beebe chasing him 1815 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:29,760 Speaker 16: down there. 1816 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 1: Good thing he got across the goal line, barely got across. 1817 01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 1: But you're too kind to him. You watched the whole game. 1818 01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,400 Speaker 1: But Trevor Lawrence, that's a play. They're trying to get 1819 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,760 Speaker 1: to the sideline to get into Cam Little's range. They 1820 01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:43,760 Speaker 1: have seven seconds left, and obviously at that point after 1821 01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 1: the penalty, it's a long shot. They're at their own 1822 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,320 Speaker 1: thirty five. But you get like fifteen yards there, you 1823 01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:51,080 Speaker 1: give Cam Little a chance. You get ten yards there, 1824 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 1: you give Cam Little chance. It looked like we were 1825 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,320 Speaker 1: going to have a Cam Little tempt and you got 1826 01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:58,320 Speaker 1: to get rid of that ball quickly. And he sees 1827 01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 1: that the sideline routes are covered you just got to 1828 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:02,519 Speaker 1: give your guy a chance. You just gotta throw it. 1829 01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:04,720 Speaker 1: You just got to throw the ball. And if you 1830 01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,160 Speaker 1: don't throw it to them, you just got to throw 1831 01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:09,519 Speaker 1: it away to at least set up for one more 1832 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,960 Speaker 1: final play. The thing you can't do is just kind 1833 01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 1: of freeze and hold the ball. And that's kind of 1834 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,320 Speaker 1: a Trevor Lawrence type of play, it's all. 1835 01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:18,880 Speaker 16: And as that play was unfolding, I'm watching the clock 1836 01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:20,840 Speaker 16: and I'm thinking, even if they completed, their screwed like 1837 01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 16: they're cooked. 1838 01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:22,559 Speaker 13: And that's what happened. 1839 01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,599 Speaker 1: The Texans are four and five, the Jags are five 1840 01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:29,240 Speaker 1: and four, and yet they feel so different. The Jags, 1841 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:33,640 Speaker 1: after they're hot three to zero start, have really come 1842 01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:36,080 Speaker 1: back to the pack. Even the running game wasn't consistent today, 1843 01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:38,599 Speaker 1: although it rarely is against the Texans. And the Texans 1844 01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:41,519 Speaker 1: have the Titans next week, and they have maybe the 1845 01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,320 Speaker 1: best defense in the league, and they're in a conference 1846 01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:47,280 Speaker 1: where maybe the seventh seed could sneak in there, and 1847 01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:49,960 Speaker 1: they get to five and five, So that really does 1848 01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,680 Speaker 1: feel like, at least for now, a season saving win 1849 01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:55,400 Speaker 1: for the Texans. Let's move on to a game where 1850 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,120 Speaker 1: neither team is saving their season, at least not in 1851 01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 1: this season. But it doesn't mean that we can't have 1852 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:01,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of fun. 1853 01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:05,040 Speaker 14: So Isaiah Williams back deep to receive the punt took Bejorquez, 1854 01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:07,479 Speaker 14: and once again he'll kick it away from inside his 1855 01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:10,120 Speaker 14: own twenty yard line, again returnable. Running right with a 1856 01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,760 Speaker 14: flag down, Williams at the twenty six yard line. He 1857 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,040 Speaker 14: gets loose down the sideline of the fifty cuts him 1858 01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,639 Speaker 14: back left of the forting he's at the thirty. They'll 1859 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:19,680 Speaker 14: go all the way ten five. 1860 01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:23,439 Speaker 20: Touchdown for the Jets with their second consecutive kick return 1861 01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:28,479 Speaker 20: touchdown Kna Wong Woo for ninety nine yard. So now 1862 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 20: Isaiah Williams does the trick for seventy six. 1863 01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:36,280 Speaker 1: Pretty rare you see two straight return touchdowns, and I 1864 01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,600 Speaker 1: bet it's even rarer if the team that pulls that 1865 01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:40,640 Speaker 1: off loses the game. At that point, I didn't care 1866 01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:42,600 Speaker 1: what the score was. I was like, they're going to 1867 01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:44,880 Speaker 1: win this game one way or another. It was close 1868 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 1: to the Jets win twenty seven to twenty. That was 1869 01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:50,960 Speaker 1: Bob was shoozing on wax Q for clarity. That was 1870 01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:54,479 Speaker 1: Isaiah Williams on a punt return touchdown and Yeah, Kenny 1871 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,880 Speaker 1: wang Wu had a ninety nine yard kickoff return touchdown 1872 01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:01,799 Speaker 1: earlier in the first quarters. So on a day shook 1873 01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:06,320 Speaker 1: where Justin Fields had fifty four passing yards, the Jets 1874 01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:10,160 Speaker 1: would win pretty comfortably because it was a Browns field 1875 01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:12,720 Speaker 1: goal late that even made it a one score game. 1876 01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,080 Speaker 13: Yeah, just another research note while I have it up 1877 01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:16,560 Speaker 13: in front of me. 1878 01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,960 Speaker 16: They beat the Browns today despite having only forty two 1879 01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:21,360 Speaker 16: net passing yards. It's the fewest passing yards by the 1880 01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:25,840 Speaker 16: Jets and a win since Week five of nineteen seventy three. Wow, 1881 01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:27,960 Speaker 16: and that's back when they barely threw the ball. The 1882 01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:31,439 Speaker 16: forward pass is barely even invented. I'm kidding, of course. Yeah, 1883 01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:35,160 Speaker 16: this game was really weird because those return touchdowns obviously 1884 01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:37,840 Speaker 16: revital to your final score, but it was also right 1885 01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:40,320 Speaker 16: after the Browns had led a nine play ninety five 1886 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:42,559 Speaker 16: yard touchdown drive that was one of the most impressive 1887 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:44,640 Speaker 16: drives I've seen from them all season, especially when it 1888 01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 16: came to how Dylan Gabriel led that drive instantly within 1889 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:51,080 Speaker 16: two returns. The Jets have full command of the momentum 1890 01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:53,400 Speaker 16: of this game. They're at home and the Browns are 1891 01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 16: back to square one. Having to try to climb back 1892 01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,240 Speaker 16: into this game, which they ultimately did not do. It 1893 01:31:57,360 --> 01:31:59,600 Speaker 16: gave the Jets a team that had every reason in 1894 01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:02,800 Speaker 16: the world to lay down and just sleep walk through 1895 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:04,800 Speaker 16: this game after they traded away two of their best 1896 01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:07,040 Speaker 16: players of the deadline and signaled that if it's not 1897 01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:10,519 Speaker 16: a teardown, we're looking toward the future and not this season. Instead, 1898 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:12,719 Speaker 16: they came out and battled. They fought through. At firstly, 1899 01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:16,080 Speaker 16: they couldn't throw the football, they couldn't get anything going offensively, 1900 01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:18,760 Speaker 16: so the return game gets involved, then the defenses all 1901 01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 16: over the Browns quarterbacks and everything else, and then presall 1902 01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:25,320 Speaker 16: finishes it off a complete win, not statistically but visually, 1903 01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:27,640 Speaker 16: a complete all three phases of the game win for 1904 01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:28,080 Speaker 16: the Jets. 1905 01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. The guy that they didn't trade away 1906 01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 1: Bresee Hall, and they didn't have a high success rate 1907 01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:36,160 Speaker 1: by any means, neither running game did. But he ends 1908 01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,000 Speaker 1: up with eighty three yards on the ground because he 1909 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:39,800 Speaker 1: did have a big run, and then he has a 1910 01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:44,160 Speaker 1: forty two yard touchdown catch that you know, comprised almost 1911 01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:47,519 Speaker 1: all of Justin Field's passing yards for the day. The 1912 01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:51,840 Speaker 1: second leading receiver for the Jets was Isaiah Williams with 1913 01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,960 Speaker 1: four yards crazy. 1914 01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:57,200 Speaker 16: Tied, tied with Mason Taylor one catch four yards, one 1915 01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,960 Speaker 16: yard ahead of John Metchi one catch, three yard. 1916 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:01,439 Speaker 13: That's what the whole offense was. 1917 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:03,280 Speaker 1: Okay, this is the type of loss that I if 1918 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski is going to be on the hot seat, 1919 01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:06,840 Speaker 1: if the GM is going to be on the hot seat, Like, 1920 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:08,519 Speaker 1: this is the type of loss that would do it. 1921 01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:11,519 Speaker 1: Losing to the Jets, even if it helps out your, 1922 01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,640 Speaker 1: you know, situation in terms of the draft as a 1923 01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 1: as a Browns fan. What disappointed you here? 1924 01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:19,720 Speaker 21: Oh? 1925 01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 2: God? 1926 01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:25,960 Speaker 13: Well, I mean where does start start? Yeah? It was 1927 01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,040 Speaker 13: really the fashion of which this game ended. You know, 1928 01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:30,760 Speaker 13: you know that the Browns defense is going to keep 1929 01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:30,960 Speaker 13: them in. 1930 01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:32,400 Speaker 16: The game and then they're going to eventually run out 1931 01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:33,880 Speaker 16: of gas in the fourth quarter, which is what happened 1932 01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 16: on that Breeze Hall screen. But it was the way 1933 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:38,679 Speaker 16: that the defense and the game ended. Because the Browns 1934 01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:41,080 Speaker 16: need one stop, they have all three timeouts, they get 1935 01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:43,640 Speaker 16: it down outside the two minute warning, they're about to 1936 01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:46,320 Speaker 16: get the stop, and then there's a holding call on 1937 01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,479 Speaker 16: third and like sixteen on Devin Bush, and then that 1938 01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:51,600 Speaker 16: gets the Jets a new fresh set of downs, and 1939 01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:53,120 Speaker 16: then they take it to the two minute warning and 1940 01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:55,479 Speaker 16: the Browns they still have like a timeout or two left, 1941 01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:57,320 Speaker 16: and then they get another stop and it's fourth and 1942 01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:00,360 Speaker 16: four and the Browns jump off sides and give them 1943 01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:02,080 Speaker 16: another fresh set of downs and never get the ball back. 1944 01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:03,479 Speaker 16: They would have had the ball back with like thirty 1945 01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:05,560 Speaker 16: or forty seconds at the most, but the fact that 1946 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:08,719 Speaker 16: they committed two penalties and two crucial downs and never even. 1947 01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:09,719 Speaker 13: Saw the football again. 1948 01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,040 Speaker 16: This game to me, and I've been one of those 1949 01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:14,840 Speaker 16: people that have just said, hey, the Browns are not 1950 01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:15,680 Speaker 16: playing for this year. 1951 01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 13: It's very clear. 1952 01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:19,519 Speaker 16: This was the first time I've seen them lose a 1953 01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:21,559 Speaker 16: game this year in which I thought I could see 1954 01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:23,960 Speaker 16: somebody getting fired tomorrow. Now it's probably your special teams 1955 01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,800 Speaker 16: coordinator other than Trone, because of the returns that they've 1956 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:28,920 Speaker 16: given up in the miscues that they've had on that 1957 01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:30,960 Speaker 16: side of the ball. But I could definitely see somebody 1958 01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,439 Speaker 16: losing their job because of how bad they looked at 1959 01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:34,160 Speaker 16: the end of this game. 1960 01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:39,280 Speaker 1: Disappointing and exciting for the Jets. I do think there 1961 01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,479 Speaker 1: is a best case scenario where they win a few 1962 01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:44,200 Speaker 1: games down the stretch and at least feel like they're 1963 01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:46,400 Speaker 1: headed in the right direction and it's okay. 1964 01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 4: You know. 1965 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:49,760 Speaker 1: The loss knocks them down to number five in terms 1966 01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,000 Speaker 1: of their pick. In terms of Tankathon, the Browns are 1967 01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:54,600 Speaker 1: at four. It We're going to have a lot of 1968 01:34:55,160 --> 01:34:58,519 Speaker 1: Titans and Raiders games, you know, up in Jets and 1969 01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,040 Speaker 1: Brown's households to see who ends up getting that number 1970 01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:03,599 Speaker 1: one overall pick. We will see. But the Jets win 1971 01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,920 Speaker 1: two straight and the Browns lose coming out of the by. 1972 01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:09,840 Speaker 1: Let's take one last break and then we will get 1973 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:16,200 Speaker 1: to Sunday night football fun one Chargers and the steam 1974 01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,040 Speaker 1: It could be fun, even if it's low scoring. 1975 01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:31,400 Speaker 19: Hopefully Herbert hands to Kimani Kimani into the unisold touchdown 1976 01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:38,759 Speaker 19: Chargers Chimani byel rewarded for all those hard runs earlier today. 1977 01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:39,960 Speaker 1: With the score. 1978 01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:45,800 Speaker 10: And the Chargers are up twenty one to three, he's 1979 01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:48,760 Speaker 10: getting it done in pass protection, He's getting it done 1980 01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:53,160 Speaker 10: on the goal line. It's Keimani vy Dell Troy Zone, 1981 01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:57,960 Speaker 10: Patrick Claiban's favorite player in the NFL, in for a 1982 01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:02,240 Speaker 10: touchdown to give the Chargers in insurmountable lead in a 1983 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:06,840 Speaker 10: laugher on Sunday night, the Chargers win. Nick shook twenty 1984 01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:10,719 Speaker 10: five to ten in the game that Justin Herbert didn't 1985 01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:12,080 Speaker 10: even have to be superman. 1986 01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:15,320 Speaker 1: He was just a normal man. And that's because his 1987 01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 1: defense kept setting him up. And eventually the damn broke 1988 01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:23,479 Speaker 1: in that running game and the Chargers offense took care 1989 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:24,760 Speaker 1: of the rest of it. Yeah. 1990 01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:28,240 Speaker 16: What a testament to cohesive defense by the Chargers tonight, 1991 01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:30,600 Speaker 16: because if you dive into the numbers, it's not like 1992 01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:33,200 Speaker 16: they were getting after Aaron Rodgers on every play. They 1993 01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,559 Speaker 16: played phenomenal coverage. They largely bottled up the runs save 1994 01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:39,519 Speaker 16: for a few highlight runs, you know, the Jalen Warren 1995 01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:42,000 Speaker 16: hurdle being one of them. They just played a complete 1996 01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:44,360 Speaker 16: game on that side of the football and because of that, 1997 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:46,639 Speaker 16: they were able to take a low scoring, some might 1998 01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:52,639 Speaker 16: say boring or unexciting affair and turned into a lopsided victory, 1999 01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,760 Speaker 16: and one that I don't think I saw coming, not 2000 01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,799 Speaker 16: given the fact that you know, they had some offensive 2001 01:36:57,840 --> 01:36:59,680 Speaker 16: line losses. I thought they were going to struggle like 2002 01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:01,880 Speaker 16: Daniel Jones and the Colts did against the Steelers a 2003 01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:02,519 Speaker 16: week earlier. 2004 01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:04,200 Speaker 13: No, I don't all they got the job done. 2005 01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:07,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not like they protected Herbert that well hit. 2006 01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 1: He got pressured a lot. You know, their starting tackles 2007 01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:15,240 Speaker 1: in this game were what Pipkins and Austin Decliss. Deckliss 2008 01:37:15,360 --> 01:37:17,439 Speaker 1: was struggling, but they weren't in third and long too 2009 01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:21,559 Speaker 1: often they stuck with the run even when it wasn't working. 2010 01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,880 Speaker 1: And you say it's a boring game. I say it 2011 01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:28,280 Speaker 1: could never be boring for any Aaron Rodgers haters to 2012 01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:32,439 Speaker 1: be watching him have. But perhaps his worst game that 2013 01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:35,600 Speaker 1: he's ever had in primetime. He looks so old in 2014 01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,920 Speaker 1: this game. Going into that garbage time drive, they'd only 2015 01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:43,120 Speaker 1: scored three points Nick shook, and those three points came 2016 01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:46,120 Speaker 1: on a three and out that was set up by 2017 01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:50,920 Speaker 1: a short field. He had a pressure to sack ratio 2018 01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:53,720 Speaker 1: of all of them for much of the game. It 2019 01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:55,800 Speaker 1: was like if there was pressure, there was a sack. 2020 01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:59,760 Speaker 1: He was dirting the ball, he's avoiding pressure. It just 2021 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:04,120 Speaker 1: was disgusting. And when you think about the two big 2022 01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:07,560 Speaker 1: turning points in the first half of this game, the 2023 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:10,439 Speaker 1: biggest one to me was his interception just before the 2024 01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:15,679 Speaker 1: two minute warning, when the Steelers are still leading the game, 2025 01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:18,760 Speaker 1: or they're right there, rather and it's five to three, 2026 01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:21,679 Speaker 1: and that sets up the Chargers touchdown right before halftime 2027 01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:24,840 Speaker 1: and then the first Chargers score of the game. Let's 2028 01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:25,320 Speaker 1: listen to it. 2029 01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:29,960 Speaker 19: Three on the play clock. Rogers has time climbing in 2030 01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,080 Speaker 19: the pocket. Here comes Khalil Mack in the end zone. 2031 01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:36,840 Speaker 19: He drops home safety. Oh, raise your hands and put 2032 01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:41,560 Speaker 19: them together. The Chargers got two points, and what a 2033 01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 19: way to cement a legacy that only he and Kevin 2034 01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:50,799 Speaker 19: Green have. That is his thirty fifth sack as a Charger, 2035 01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:54,360 Speaker 19: Ian Green the only two players to do it with 2036 01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:56,240 Speaker 19: three different franchises. 2037 01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:59,840 Speaker 1: Ooh, that's a good stat Great job by the way 2038 01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,880 Speaker 1: on both those calls by Matt money Smith. Our friend 2039 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:08,360 Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah just quiet again on k f I. It 2040 01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:12,959 Speaker 1: is a reminder Khalil Mack was awesome for an extended 2041 01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:14,800 Speaker 1: period of time for three different teams. You don't see 2042 01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:16,280 Speaker 1: that too often. Kevin Green's in the Hall of Fame. 2043 01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:18,560 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack will join him one day. What did you 2044 01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:24,599 Speaker 1: think about Rogers just being so stymied throughout this game? 2045 01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:28,880 Speaker 16: I've found I hate that this is the case. I mean, 2046 01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:31,200 Speaker 16: I mean, if you're an Aaron Rodgers hater, you'll love this. 2047 01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:34,519 Speaker 16: But it seems like every week Aaron Rodgers is pissed 2048 01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:37,120 Speaker 16: off as teammates the entire game, and he was very 2049 01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:39,040 Speaker 16: upset with them for most of this game. And I 2050 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,720 Speaker 16: think it's a combination of guys aren't getting open, Guys 2051 01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:43,680 Speaker 16: aren't running the routes, specifically how I want them to 2052 01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:45,880 Speaker 16: run them. I'm not getting protected long enough to be 2053 01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:46,840 Speaker 16: able to do what I want to do. And I 2054 01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,840 Speaker 16: also think it's him grappling with the idea of father time. 2055 01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:52,680 Speaker 16: Not to say that he looks exceptionally old, but when 2056 01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:55,519 Speaker 16: he tries to get mobile unless there's ample space, because 2057 01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:57,400 Speaker 16: he'll still roll out and flick it, you know, and 2058 01:39:57,479 --> 01:39:58,280 Speaker 16: get it downfield. 2059 01:39:58,479 --> 01:39:59,960 Speaker 13: But when he's under duress, it looks bad. 2060 01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:00,400 Speaker 2: Now. 2061 01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:02,600 Speaker 16: It did not look bad earlier in his career, and 2062 01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:04,599 Speaker 16: you know it should look bad for a forty one 2063 01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:07,519 Speaker 16: year old. It felt like it discombobulated him all night. 2064 01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:10,400 Speaker 16: He never felt comfortable, and oftentimes guys just weren't open. 2065 01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:13,280 Speaker 16: Whatever those Steelers are trying to do offensively scheme wise 2066 01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:15,760 Speaker 16: just wasn't working against this Chargers defense until they scored 2067 01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:18,280 Speaker 16: a touchdown late in the game. And I think that 2068 01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:20,720 Speaker 16: that is a repeat case of what we've seen far 2069 01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,200 Speaker 16: too often with this team. You can go back to 2070 01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:24,759 Speaker 16: that game against the Packers in prime time, similar situation 2071 01:40:24,840 --> 01:40:27,240 Speaker 16: where Rogers again is just frustrated with the outcome and 2072 01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:29,160 Speaker 16: the fact that he can't do what he wants to do. 2073 01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:32,000 Speaker 13: So a tough spot for them. They're very up and 2074 01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:32,600 Speaker 13: down right now. 2075 01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:38,360 Speaker 1: Offensively, Yeah, he held the ball longer tonight a little bit, 2076 01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:41,400 Speaker 1: and he went down the field a few more times, 2077 01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:44,760 Speaker 1: and he missed a couple shots deep that could have 2078 01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:47,720 Speaker 1: changed the game. And so when he's trying to make 2079 01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:51,759 Speaker 1: a play, he wasn't able to make them. And they're 2080 01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:55,360 Speaker 1: just a limited offense now. The Calvin Austin drop that 2081 01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:59,080 Speaker 1: turned into an interception, that's all obviously on Calvin Austin. 2082 01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:03,240 Speaker 1: The game's basically over at that point. Ultimately, they had 2083 01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:07,120 Speaker 1: nine drives shook before you know, those last couple that 2084 01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:10,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking about in terms of the interception and the 2085 01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:13,000 Speaker 1: garbage time touchdown. They had four first downs on those 2086 01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:15,320 Speaker 1: nine drives. I mean, it's just it's not at NFL 2087 01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:19,000 Speaker 1: offense and Jalen Warren is easily their offense's best player, 2088 01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:22,320 Speaker 1: but DK Metcff has not gotten it on track at 2089 01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:24,559 Speaker 1: all as a consistent weapon. And you have to give 2090 01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:28,439 Speaker 1: the Chargers defense credit. Man Jesse Minter and this Chargers defense, 2091 01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,800 Speaker 1: they've been on a journey this season. It's like it 2092 01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:34,599 Speaker 1: has absolutely been a roller coaster, but you know, getting 2093 01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:37,519 Speaker 1: some of their best players back, especially Khalil Mack and 2094 01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,040 Speaker 1: then having an extra pass rusher and a dafe oh wait, 2095 01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:43,560 Speaker 1: absolutely helping Derwin James is back to playing well. And 2096 01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,559 Speaker 1: like I mentioned, it wasn't even a great Herbert game, 2097 01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:51,760 Speaker 1: but three straight weeks, Nick, the Chargers have essentially dominated 2098 01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:55,360 Speaker 1: like the line, not the line of scrimmage, but dominated 2099 01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:59,000 Speaker 1: play where they doubled up their opponents the last two 2100 01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,880 Speaker 1: weeks and almost double up them in yardage and definitely 2101 01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:04,280 Speaker 1: double them up in first downs and again until the 2102 01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,200 Speaker 1: garbage time. It was the same tonight. So they've just 2103 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:09,760 Speaker 1: like been significantly the better team in three straight games 2104 01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:13,160 Speaker 1: against the you know, the Vikings, Titans, and Steelers. They 2105 01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:15,960 Speaker 1: are different. They're not the same old Chargers, considering they 2106 01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:17,720 Speaker 1: are a Jim Harbrot team. I don't know if they're 2107 01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:20,840 Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl, but missed me with the 2108 01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:24,360 Speaker 1: same old Chargers. They're just a tougher team. And the 2109 01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,720 Speaker 1: fact that They've come out of a little mini slum 2110 01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:28,599 Speaker 1: to get the seven and three is really impressive. 2111 01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:30,320 Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm glad that you brought up the Harball point, 2112 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:31,519 Speaker 16: because that's what I was going to say, is that 2113 01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:34,240 Speaker 16: this team has taken on the identity of its coach. 2114 01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,160 Speaker 16: We saw it, you know, last year, but it's really 2115 01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,320 Speaker 16: carrying over week to week. And the cool thing about 2116 01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:41,160 Speaker 16: this team that makes makes me frustrated as somebody who's 2117 01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,479 Speaker 16: picking games every week and consistently getting them wrong no 2118 01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:45,200 Speaker 16: matter who's playing, whether it's the Chargers or any other 2119 01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:47,080 Speaker 16: team in the NFL. But what frustrates me is the 2120 01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:49,040 Speaker 16: fact that they do this in different fashions, which should 2121 01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:51,600 Speaker 16: be encouraging two Chargers fans, because you think about the 2122 01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:54,240 Speaker 16: Vikings game. They were dominant in that game, offensively dominant, 2123 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:56,760 Speaker 16: Herbert was on fire. Everything went well for them on 2124 01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,479 Speaker 16: both sides of the ball. The Titans game a little 2125 01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:01,439 Speaker 16: close for out for it. They'd get the win and everything, 2126 01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:03,920 Speaker 16: but it wasn't the prettiest win. They lose Joe Alton 2127 01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:06,000 Speaker 16: that game, so you saw the effect on Herbert. 2128 01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:08,320 Speaker 1: Touchdowns. Yeah. 2129 01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:11,280 Speaker 16: Fair, But then this game completely different from those last 2130 01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:13,800 Speaker 16: two games where they leaned on the run stubbornly, and 2131 01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:16,120 Speaker 16: they played a great game defensively. And I think that 2132 01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:19,120 Speaker 16: while it makes them difficult to predict how they might 2133 01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:21,920 Speaker 16: play from week to weekend opponent by opponent, they can 2134 01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,320 Speaker 16: win in different ways. That should be really encouraged. 2135 01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:28,360 Speaker 1: You got a quarterback, you got a coach, and you 2136 01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:30,120 Speaker 1: got a team that's figuring out how to play together. 2137 01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:32,000 Speaker 1: It's going to give him a chance each and every week. 2138 01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:37,400 Speaker 1: Whereas Pittsburgh they have a coach, but they're not great situationally, 2139 01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:41,519 Speaker 1: and they made some adjustments defensively. We'll see how that works. 2140 01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:44,639 Speaker 1: They are only one game up on the Baltimore Ravens, 2141 01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:49,439 Speaker 1: after that lead was a whole lot bigger four weeks ago. 2142 01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:52,280 Speaker 1: So they fall to five and four. They still got 2143 01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:55,120 Speaker 1: two games left to face the Ravens. Also want to 2144 01:43:55,200 --> 01:43:59,160 Speaker 1: just give a shout out of congratulations to Keenan Allen, 2145 01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:03,439 Speaker 1: the all time leader in receptions in Chargers history, passing 2146 01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:07,280 Speaker 1: Antonio Gates. We mentioned it, remember shook back in week 2147 01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:11,320 Speaker 1: one as this could be a possible milestone that he 2148 01:44:11,400 --> 01:44:13,880 Speaker 1: could reach this season, and after one week we said, wow, 2149 01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,400 Speaker 1: maybe he will be able to do it. Hell, he 2150 01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:18,600 Speaker 1: did it by week ten, so cool to do it 2151 01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:22,519 Speaker 1: in primetime. An all time great Charger in a big 2152 01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:25,760 Speaker 1: part of this team. They lost Aronde, Gatzt and Junior 2153 01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:27,920 Speaker 1: to an injury at one point in this game. He 2154 01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,439 Speaker 1: did not return, so we'll track that during the week. 2155 01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:33,519 Speaker 1: But obviously a great night for the Los Angeles Chargers, 2156 01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:36,120 Speaker 1: great night for us, Shook. We will be back check 2157 01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:40,080 Speaker 1: us out Monday night.

This was a frisky Week ten. 2162 01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:02,120 Speaker 1: We learned a lot about myself about the MVP conversation 2163 01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:04,600 Speaker 1: about what my love language is.
