30
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: in the NFC Sound Welcome back to another edition of

31
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Janzas,

32
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: and I'm joined by a room filled with heroes. Mark Sesler,

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Chris Westling and Greg Rosa. Dold's up boys. Hey, what

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: is happening? Thursday show? Thursday preview show? Mark with a

35
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: big old grin on his face. How you doing about it?

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: I hear bizarre computer sounds in the background. Unprofessional, Well,

37
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, professionals not. We don't always do professional well,

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: as your wife went after us for a fashion and

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: sometimes things things to get a little blue in here.

40
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes we're not quite up to code with some other talent.

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: We're trying our best, though, we do what we do.

42
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: I feel like Dan is embraced, embracing being a talent, though,

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: like I forgot to bring up his precious research packet,

44
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: which he can't be bothered to actually ask for on

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: his own. They could just give him one beautiful thing,

46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: and he had a Chris Berman like emotional meltdown and

47
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: I had to run back downstairs. First of all, everything

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: you just said was incorrect, right down town. You gotta

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: play it up for the pot. By the way, then

50
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: bad idea to be ordering your boss around. Well, that's

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: why it's all fiction, because I'm smarter than that. And

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: ask me if I have a good company. Let me

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: tell you something I am. What's funny you say that too?

54
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: Did I not scurry downstairs to go get it? You

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: got it? And no, I feel warm now because I

56
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: didn't feel right without it. But when we I was

57
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: doing an NFL Now hit. I don't know if people know,

58
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: but we do these NFL Now news hits every day.

59
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: We take turns going over there. In addition to the

60
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: exclusive content we have in here in Studio sixty six,

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff in NFL Now from around the NFL.

62
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, I was there and I was asking when

63
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: they were putting the mic on me and everything in

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: the earpiece. I said, do does other do other talent

65
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: do this themselves? Or am I being like a jerk

66
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: by having you put it on put it on me?

67
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: He's like, most people have it put on them, but

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: they you know, but some people do it themselves. And

69
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: I said, you don't have to worry about being a

70
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: prima Dona. And I was like, well, like eighteen months

71
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: away from being prima, don't worry. Maybe sooner than that.

72
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: Signals were gathering, alright, fifteen to eighteen months. All right,

73
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: So this is the big Thursday show TV behind the Glass.

74
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back buddy. You uh, you ducked out, took a

75
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: took a little bit of a sick day to go

76
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: to visit the doctor. Are you okay? You're mess with me?

77
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: Got problems? That's all I know? Oh little j J.

78
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: That's that's great, That's all it is. I mean, we

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: had Zach Dresser here doing his best e J man

80
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: of impressing a lot of show and you know this

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: goes totally against HR standards. But what was wrong with you? What?

82
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: What's your illness? Well we can talk about that person.

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, by the way, z Drizzle did a great

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: job and and you. I'm glad you're still with us.

85
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: That that J. J. Watt dropped. That was from inside

86
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: the NFL, and that was during a stretching before that

87
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: Texans Titans wipe out on Sunday. That is an instant

88
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: iconic sound bit. What is it? We have the singletary one.

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: It's similar. It's in that club. I like that kind

90
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: of I think it's already in that group. And I tweeted,

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: and this time I knew it was a good tweet

92
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: because the old Greg ster over here, the boss, retweeted me,

93
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: you test my taste. I do. I do when when

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: he's inducted into Canton in about you know, sixteen or

95
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: seventeen years or whatever, they will play that clip. Guaranteed,

96
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: the snow Caps part. I don't know about the snow

97
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Caps part. That to me didn't carry as much fire

98
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: as the as this knows. All I know is you're

99
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: mess with me problems. That's that's all I know. That's

100
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: so good. I like that kind of alright, So yeah,

101
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: good job there, Welcome back, t D and Mark. If

102
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: you have any other personal questions, you want to get

103
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: them out right now. First questions, I got a lot

104
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: of questions about TV. This is our big preview show.

105
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to all the Sunday games and of

106
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: course the Monday night game. But before that, you know you,

107
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: we talked about the A team with the B team

108
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the C team for the first time the season. A

109
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Rosenthal hands this joint. It's called the X teams. It's

110
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: the X factor. We're gonna throw it, throw up the

111
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: X and do the The Rockefell assigned because we handled

112
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game Cowboys Bears. So I guess I

113
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: throw it to myself, all right. So there it is.

114
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys back in the win column. On Thursday

115
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: Night beat the Chicago Bears. Great excited win, a game

116
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 1: in which the recipe to avoid a December collapse, apparently

117
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: for Jason Garrett was give de Marco Murray the ball

118
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: again and again and again and again. He sets a

119
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: career high in both carries and receptions in the game,

120
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: and he got the job done. He basically, uh did

121
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: the work, the heavy lifting, and a big win for

122
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Murray is so valuable to this team in

123
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: so many ways, but part of it is because he

124
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: makes life so much easier on the defense. I mean,

125
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: he had twenty four touches in the first half. That

126
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: was more than the entire amount of plays that the

127
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: Bears have. So you keep this pretty mediocre Cowboys defense

128
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: off the field, you keep Tony Romo mostly dinking and

129
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: dunking on a night Dan where you kind of noticed

130
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: he didn't look like he was looking to go down

131
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, he looked a little stiff, especially in

132
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: the first half. I don't know if it was the

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: weather or what. And but he ends up with five

134
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: incompletions and three touchdowns and you can't fault their offensive

135
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: performance at all. And you wonder if, like if DeMarco

136
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: Murray's agent is watching this, like, is he happy that

137
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: his guy is going over two hundred thirty yards from

138
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: scrimmage or is he kind of worried that this guy

139
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: is gonna break down by the end of this year.

140
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: It's all I could think as I was watching and

141
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: you said it, he had twenty four touches in the

142
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: first half. I tweeted at the time that he was

143
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: on pace for fifty in the game. Um, I always thinking,

144
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: is there's no way the Cowboys have any intention on

145
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: giving this guy a big contract they're gonna use every

146
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: ounce of this guy's ability up this season, get all

147
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: the juice out of the tank, and they'll then go

148
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: grab Adrian Peterson in the off season. Uh so, yes,

149
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'd be using him in the

150
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: right way. And they continue to, as my mother would say,

151
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: spitting the sky about uh using him so much with

152
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: his injury prone history. It would be a Jerry Jones

153
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: thing actually to give him that huge money and then

154
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: just watch him get hurt. But yeah, I mean, it's

155
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: a it's a dangerous stance they're doing right now, but

156
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: it's working. And they're not in four They're not gonna

157
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: go eight in Nate. And that is the first time

158
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: that they will not go eight in Nate and four

159
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: seasons or three seasons. Uh, that's a major accomplishment. And

160
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: it sets up if the Eagles can't take care of

161
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: business at home, he gets the Seahawks. That sets up

162
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: a huge Week fifteen matchup with FC East on the

163
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: line or the lead on the line. So the Cowboys

164
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: took care of business. Bead Bears team, This Bears stink.

165
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: They're awful. You said it. You can't believe they have

166
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: five wins this season. They can't. I their defense is

167
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: so bad. And then the offense, you know, they lost

168
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall to a what looked like a serious rib injury,

169
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: ends up going to the hospital. He tweets later that

170
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: he's okay, so we don't know what his long term

171
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: issue is. But you look at Jake Cutler in the

172
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: offense and you're not quite sure why it's not doing well.

173
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: You can't really point to Cutler's night and say, oh,

174
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: he played really poorly. You know, I didn't play that poorly.

175
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: But suddenly it's thirty five to seven late in the

176
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: third quarter, and that's kind of been what's happened in

177
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: every Bears game. Yeah, and they did that move when

178
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: they actually almost made a game of it later Epic

179
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: Fantasy a lot of garbage points, but they almost made

180
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: a game of it because they got two quick touchdowns.

181
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: And then when they closed it within ten and there

182
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: were about six minutes to play, and he thought, oh,

183
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: they could kick it off, get a stop here, maybe

184
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: get the ball back at it to one score, but instead, uh,

185
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: trustman calls for another on sidekick, which I thought was

186
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: silly but also showed that this was almost like that move.

187
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: And when you're playing video games against someone that's much

188
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: better than you, and you know they're gonna score on

189
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: you and Matt and so you just your only chance,

190
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: basically is the go for it on every fourth down

191
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: and always on side kick it. And it didn't work

192
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: out that the Cowboys recovered the second or the third

193
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: on sidekick, and the game is essentially over right. I mean,

194
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: I agreed with you that they should have just kicked

195
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: it off, but you have to get a stop. And

196
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys scored on seven straight possessions before they kneeled

197
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: down at the end of the game, so they didn't

198
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: have they didn't have to stop since the middle of

199
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: the first quarter. You can't really blame Trustman for what

200
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: he did. And yet the Cowboys are still yelling at

201
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: each other on the sidelines constantly. What is going on

202
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: is furious. I don't know if it's because he didn't

203
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: score touchdown for the second straight game or what, but

204
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: he's furious. Or Lando Scandrick that he could have he

205
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: could have been committed. If there was a a psychologist

206
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: or some type of someone in the mental health field

207
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: on this, they would have locked them up. Uh to

208
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Marca Murray yelling at people. It's a very emotional. This

209
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: was like their Super Bowl. They climbed them out in

210
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: nine wins. That's what they've been aiming for. I do

211
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: want to give Garrett credit before we get out of here.

212
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: Quickly goes for it on fourth and one two times

213
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: in the red zone on Dallas's first touchdown. Draft that

214
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: was nice show a little gumption here. And then I

215
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: also think this has been the most predictable team in

216
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: the in the league. They always take care of the

217
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: bad teams. Washington is the one exception here that they

218
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: usually win somewhat convincingly against the bad team. So they're

219
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: kind of a team that's taking care of business. They've

220
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: lost to the good teams. They beat the bad teams.

221
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: And you know, let's give Garrett a little credit. And

222
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: you you were giving me problems for picking the Cowboys

223
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: too much this season. Listen, Cowboys doing them quite well.

224
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: But they're not gonna be good teams. So they go

225
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: to Philly, they lose that, They play the Colts, they

226
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: lose that, and that sets up a nail biter trip

227
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: to Washington to finish the season. All about that, we'll

228
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: see about that. In fact, I think the Cowboys will

229
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: win next week. That's a discussion for another podcast. Alright,

230
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: that's it for the Thursday Night discussion. Let's set it

231
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: back to the group. Alright, So that is it. That's

232
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:17,239
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Extreme Takes by Hot Takes x X Takes.

233
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: We are now going to get to the Sunday games

234
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: and this is now no more buys. Uh. Last week

235
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: there weren't anybody's either were there? They were not, But

236
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: there were three Thursday games, so they kind of lightened

237
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: the Sunday load. A big, big, big Sunday grouping of games.

238
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: So we got a lot of games to get to. So,

239
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: you know, I know sometimes we get a little off track.

240
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: We have to do our best to get through these

241
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: games without giving people a seventeen hour podcast. I think

242
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: we could do it, though. I have faith. Stop being

243
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: so windy, West, you know, just on and on you.

244
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: You should have Dr Seter check that out, West. That'll

245
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: be fine, that'll be fine from you. All right, let's

246
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: get into Sunday and we'll start with the New England Patriots,

247
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: who are coming off that tough loss at Lambeau. Had

248
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: played pretty well but not good enough to win. Now

249
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: they head to San Diego to face the team of

250
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: around the NFL, the s Indigo Chargers, coming off that

251
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: great comeback win over the Ravens. Uh, this is a

252
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: very good matchup and I'm not afraid to say it,

253
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit ashamed. Do we have our

254
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: meritor trade? Uh? What do we call the challenge? Confident

255
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: challenges TD American confident call? Thank you very much, confident call.

256
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: I had my confident call in the Patriots and now

257
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm like thinking, I think the Chargers might win this game.

258
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: I I gotta got a bit of Assessly, the Charges

259
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: are gonna show up and play very well in their building?

260
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: Am I crazy? I think you're overthinking it. I mean

261
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: New England went into Green Bay and very nearly won

262
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: that game, or at least four Starreon Rogerson what would

263
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: have been a two minute thrial to win it for

264
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: green Bay. They played, they have been on absolute fire

265
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: and the Charges, I think their offense looked very good

266
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. Their secondary can be carved up though. Robin

267
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: Kelsey is gonna do fine. New England has this thing.

268
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't It wouldn't surprise me if the Chargers are

269
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: right in the game. Anytime you have a quarterback as

270
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: good as Philip Rivers, I have him as a top

271
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: five quarterback this year going against the team that really

272
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: cannot rush the passer that well one on one. I

273
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: know the Chargers offensive line has struggled, but I do

274
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: think that's a problem for the Patriots. Belichick has been

275
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: good at being creative, but Rivers is excellent and kind

276
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: of recognizing what the defense is doing. It wouldn't surprise

277
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: me if they put up thirty points on the Patriots.

278
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: Patriots are thirty two and four over the last five years.

279
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: In the second half of the season, Rivers isn't much worse, though.

280
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: It's create rivers record in December is almost as good

281
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: as Brady. Not against Tom Brady, it isn't. I think

282
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots are out of the Chargers league right now,

283
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: h I think the Patriots play against teams like the

284
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: Packers and Broncos, and the Chargers play against teams like

285
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Can the Chargers afford to lose this game?

286
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: Or is this base their schedules? Brutal playoffs are bus

287
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: scenario right now? All of these teams with five losses,

288
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: I think they can lose one more. The Chargers have

289
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: a have a tough one week after week, so you'd

290
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: love to take care of your home ones. But no,

291
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go. They're gonna have to beat

292
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City, They're gonna have to beat Denver probably later

293
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: in the year. It's a very tough road here for

294
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: the team of a TL. Let's do England's weakness. I

295
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: was about to ask the same question. I mean, you

296
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: sound like you're convinced, and you always started spinning because

297
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: we know the Chargers have weaknesses and we know Bill

298
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: Belichick can exploit weaknesses. The it's not a great pass

299
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: rush right now. If they get Chandler Jones back for

300
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: this game, that would be fantast don't matter if you

301
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: have a great pass rush when you face the charges,

302
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: don't you know you ask for a weakness if you

303
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: want to make one. They're not really hitting on vertical

304
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: throws this year at all. I mean, they don't have

305
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: anyone it's gonna beat you deep and Tom Brady hasn't

306
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: hit on those. If if you're looking for weaknesses, I mean,

307
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: it's not a they're not huge weaknesses. It will take

308
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: a running back that we've never heard of. Someone who

309
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: literally has never played, have a prediction. Who will be

310
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: Troy Brown. By the way, t the If the Chargers

311
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: do win this game, let's lock it in and make

312
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: a note of it to play the entire San Diego

313
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: Supercharger song left to earn it. We're not gonna play

314
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: it just to be willy nilly. But if they take

315
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: down the paths, every one will be back in, including

316
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: West West. The Chargers show up in a big way

317
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: and spank the Pats. You're on right, You know, I

318
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: don't take ex girlfriends back. That's not even true. I don't.

319
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't believe your history says otherwise. You know, maybe

320
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: just like a night or a couple of nights here

321
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: or there. You know what I'm saying. You know it?

322
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: The Chargers, the Chargers here. Would they get you excited?

323
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: At least when when you turned on that game rewind

324
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: last week and you watched that Ravens game, I mean,

325
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: you had to be impressions got me excited. You have

326
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: to be impressed with the heart that the that the

327
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: Chargers on offense especially showed a lot of firepower there. Yeah,

328
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers had a good game. He pulled the team

329
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: out of the fun Keenan Allen is going to the

330
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. Then we have the Patriots in the segment.

331
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. I can't wait till Sunday.

332
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: Let's move on. This is uh, this next game might

333
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: be the game of the week. Actually, the Seattle Seahawks,

334
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: who are they seem to be potentially rounding into two

335
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen form right now. This will be a big

336
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: test to see if they're all the way back. They're

337
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: heading to Philly to face the Genius and the Eagles.

338
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: The Eagles, of course, spanked the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. That

339
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: was an impressive win as well. I mean those both

340
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: teams played on Thanksgiving and both played very well in

341
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: a really nice wins. So now they face off. Will

342
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: be a big test for Mark Sanchez, of course, who's

343
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: had the schedule God's with him a little bit um

344
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: since becoming a starter. This is a real test and

345
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks, a big test to see how they

346
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: can handle a real NFC contender on the road. Your thoughts, guys,

347
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: I think it's cool that we get to see this

348
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: matchup now. Had it been back in Week four or

349
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: five when Seattle was kind of figuring itself out and

350
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: going through injuries last two weeks. Seattle's defense, as we've

351
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: said a number of times on this show, looks absolutely

352
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: lights out as good as last year's. And we're getting

353
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: that against an Eagle's offense that's firing all on all cylinders,

354
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: finally running the ball the way that we expect them too.

355
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: So that alone makes this a great watch. Bobby Wagner,

356
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: I think makes the biggest difference of any change that

357
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: we've seen in the Seattle defense. I mean, he might

358
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: be the most valuable player on that defense, and him

359
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: back in the lineup has really changed everything they've done.

360
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: I've heard that theory several other places, and I don't

361
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: know how you separate Bobby Wagner from Byron Maxwell and

362
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: Cam Cam Chancellor. Chance looks better too, came back at

363
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: the same time, and the defense just got cohesive. I

364
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: I say it because I watched watching the Cardinals game.

365
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: In the forty Niners game, Bobby Wagner is all over

366
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: the field, You're right, Maxwell, and Chancellor looks better too.

367
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: I mean that Kevin Williams is playing great too, right,

368
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: and but Wagner, Wagner is just one of the best,

369
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, ball pursuit sort of run stopping middle linebackers

370
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: out there by the one stat I'm just looking over

371
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: some numbers. Remember this went well into the regular season,

372
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: but Lashawn McCoy, we talked about what a bad season

373
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: he was having. Also, you look up, he's got over

374
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: a thousand yards through thirteen games and averaging over four

375
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: yards to carry four touchdowns. This guy's back and that's

376
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: a big reason why the Eagles are able to win

377
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: with Mark Sanchez. Also, since Lane Johnson's return right tackling

378
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: Week five, McCoy is averaging more rushing yards per game

379
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: than he did last year in his career year right,

380
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: we were saying the c X defense is back, but

381
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, they just played Drew Stanton and a San

382
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: Francisco back. I know they are back, but they also

383
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: just played Drew Stanton, who you know you've seen. Their

384
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: defense got taken care of by Atlanta for for fifty

385
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: nine minutes at three points, and then they played Colin Kaepernick,

386
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: who couldn't score more than seventeen points against Washington weeks.

387
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Is impressive. I mean, I don't care who, it's totally impressive.

388
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is we are going up a major

389
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: step in class here, right, But we've seen this same

390
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: defense with the personnel they have now shut down the

391
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in the league week after week after week.

392
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: Let's not bury the lead. Isn't this really Mark Sanchez? Finally?

393
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, Greg, you said it downstairs. He hasn't faced

394
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: many defenses. Now he is, and I think we've also talked.

395
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: He looks completely different to me. It looks like he's

396
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: getting good coaching for the first time in his career.

397
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: He's not perfect, but but if he played this way

398
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: for the Jets in the last couple of years, they

399
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: never would have let him go. But this is a

400
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: different team and that's why he's playing differently. But man up,

401
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: agin Seattle. We're gonna find out if he's prone to

402
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: turnovers and mistakes. This is our only two three split

403
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: of the week. Both Greg and patrack picked the Eagles.

404
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: The rest of us take the Seahawks, So I feel

405
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: bad for Greg and Patrick. Greg can fall further down,

406
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: by the way. Another reminder, four way tie a top

407
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: two standings. Right, news flash, you can't win a Super Bowl.

408
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: I don't think with wide receivers combining your starting wide

409
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: receivers have combined for under ninety yards the last two weeks,

410
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: and the best players can we rewind the last December

411
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: when you were saying the exact same thing about the

412
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Seahawks pass. They improved quite a bit down the stretch.

413
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: But I just find it hard. The best plays Russell

414
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: Wilson makes every week are dump offs. The running backs

415
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: are totally improv plays. I just think it's gonna be

416
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: hard to win a Super Bowl that way. All right,

417
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: let's move on to the Monday night game. This will

418
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: be a game between the Atlanta Falcons and the Green

419
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. And by the way, and Mark Ceely, I

420
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: know you're excited because you know what this is all about,

421
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: to first place teams squaring off, well, mighty soaring Falcons

422
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: and the mighty Packer's thing. A lot of people want

423
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: to talk about green Bay full opra there. But you're

424
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: right though, like, let's not everyone, oh shina light on

425
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: green Bay. It's the Falcons. We need to get excited about.

426
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: What what ex I do about the Falcons. They're They're

427
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: a powerhouse South. You love those domes fall down. I'm

428
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: just trying to help the segment out general drizzle was

429
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: trying to sell this as a trap game. Come on,

430
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: it's in Lambeau. Oh yeah, if it was in Atlanta,

431
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe to me, I think this is. But it's a

432
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: thirty three to nothing at half. But guess what the

433
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: country gets to watch Aaron Rodgers. The Falcons did, to

434
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 1: their credit, just put up five yards in the Cardinals,

435
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: who have been a really good defense. When I watched

436
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: that performance, I thought that must be the best Atlanta

437
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: offensive performance of the year. I mean, they were going

438
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: up and down the field, and Julio Jones had one

439
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: of the best games you'll ever see out of a

440
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Why doesn't need you then every week? Maybe

441
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: they're a little dangerous. I don't know. He needs Patrick

442
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Peterson to play like that. I guess you're not gonna

443
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: get Steven Jackson to do We did what he did

444
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: last weekend for a number of reasons, because Antonio Cromarti

445
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: doesn't play for the Packers, and oh that was a

446
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: business decision. And Roddy White, by the way, we've entered

447
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: the phase of Roddy White's career now where he seems

448
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: to be perpetually banged up. He didn't practice on Thursday,

449
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: so we don't know if he'll be in the game,

450
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: if he'll be himself, So it will be up to

451
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and and Harry Douglas who has done some things,

452
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: or last week he did, so I don't know. This

453
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: seems like a game that's tilted way in the Green

454
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: Bay's favor, and honestly, I won't pick them against them

455
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: ever for the rest of the season, but especially if

456
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: they're at Lambeau. I am not picking up They're going

457
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: to the NFC title again. This is a mere inconvenience

458
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: along the way, all right, As you can imagine, we

459
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: all picked the Packers, except for Mark. He took the Falcons.

460
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: Not true. Okay, we move on to Cincinnati. This is

461
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: a game uh an a f C North, major major

462
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: implications obviously because we have uh this group he talked

463
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: about on Wednesday's podcast. I think we were split about

464
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: who's gonna win that North. I took the Bengals. I

465
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: believe the rest of you guys will pick the Steelers.

466
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: So this game obviously has huge implications. Uh. The Steelers

467
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: coming off really a dreadful performance at home and a

468
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: loss to the Saints, and the Bengals. They squeaked one

469
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: out against the Bucks, got some help on a bizarre play,

470
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: bizarre twelve men on the field call at the end

471
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: um survived the bad Dalton first half. So now these

472
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: two teams square off West. I'm pretty sure you you

473
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: feel the Steelers are gonna take care of business here.

474
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton hasn't done well against Dick Lebau defenses. He's

475
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 1: won two out of six games since he was drafted

476
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, and I think Lebou does a really

477
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: good job of taking away a J Green. When you

478
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: take away a J Green, Andy Dalton doesn't know where

479
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 1: to go to go with the ball. As long as

480
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: Like Taylor's not involved. I like the the year long storyline.

481
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: Oh wait till like Taylor's back for the Steelers. Well,

482
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't know people who are kind of okay, They're

483
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: gonna get some people back later in the season. Taylor

484
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: gets on the field and he gets flamed on came

485
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: last week, came dancing out of the tunnel with a

486
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: terrible tower over his face like an outlaw. It's like

487
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: he got burned. Get that guy off the field. Kenny

488
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: Stills killed. I mean, he had a rough game. I

489
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: have a hard time I trust the Steeler's offense to

490
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: bounce back and have a nice effort than I do

491
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: Dick lebo and the Steelers defense to slow them down,

492
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: just because I don't know where the plays are coming

493
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: from that Steelers defense lately. I think for me, it

494
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: was just that we've seen the Steelers go up and down.

495
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: Last week was down in the in the Bengals have

496
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: been up for too long. It's gonna come. Well, they

497
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: gotta win. But it was down, That's what I'm saying.

498
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: Maybe that that was the roller coaster tipping down. This

499
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: is Pittsburgh's ski. I think they're going to sweep the

500
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: Bengals this season. I hold in my hands, gentlemen. The

501
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen season Week fourteen research notes, Oh, thank

502
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: you to day and here's a great one. Despite and

503
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: this is for the Bengals haters, which they're plentiful in

504
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: this room. Despite their eight three and one record, the

505
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: Bengals have the NFL seventeenth best point differential. The Bengals

506
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: have only outscored opponents in one of the four quarters

507
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: this season, in the second quarter. Maybe they can play

508
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: this whole game in the second WHOA, that's a very

509
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: useful stat They gotta get it. Maybe they'll draft a

510
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: quarterback this year. They have a lot of talent. I mean,

511
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: they do have a lot of talent to talk to.

512
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll draft a quarterback. You know who's been good

513
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: for them before. Raymond Luga has added a lot. He's

514
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: not usually a guy that I think of as a

515
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: great player, but since he's come back in the lineup,

516
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: he's been on fire for them. Their run defense is

517
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: much better than it was, but now Davian Bell has

518
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: a chance. Walter Payton is the only players in the

519
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: history of the NFL three straight games, two ords from scrimmage.

520
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: They trust their defensive lines so much. There was a

521
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: story where Josh McCown basically had a quote this week

522
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: where he said the secondary just hung on routes all

523
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: day long because we knew the front seven would take

524
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: care of business. I mean, there's a lot of talent

525
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. No one's knocking him Dan, it's just that

526
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton five touchdowns, seven Pickswe he's gonna melt down. Well,

527
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: this is their chance to show there a real team.

528
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: Because it's my big it's my theory that that the

529
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: Steelers are the ultimate. They're a better fantasy team this

530
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: year than they are a reality team. It's like you

531
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: never know what they're gonna be quartered a quarter. You

532
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: don't even think that's a theory that's true. So maybe

533
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals will win this, but I'm going Steelers, all right.

534
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: We almost forgot Defend your Hero. It's the part of

535
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: the show every Thursday where one of us went against

536
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: the grain and picked a team that no one else picked.

537
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: I picked the Bengals in this game, perhaps not surprising.

538
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm a Bengals guy. Don't know how this happened in

539
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: my life, but that's how things have worked out. It's

540
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: how things shake out. Andy Dalton, he gotta like that

541
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: with eyebrows made out of fire, is the guy I

542
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: believe in, and I think he's gonna take care of

543
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: business in this game against the Steelers, because I think

544
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals, with the exception of that that Brown stinker,

545
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: which I I rule an outlier, it was a Bengal

546
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: sticker stinker, not a Brown that. I apologize a lot

547
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: of brown stinkers over the years, But I think the

548
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is a great home team despite that one game

549
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: over the past two seasons, so I think they'll take

550
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: a take a win. And also I don't believe in

551
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: the Steelers, can't do it, can't get behind them. This

552
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: might be there and playing with them. This might be

553
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: the heaviest favorite hero pick of the year. Not that

554
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: we measure how heavy the favorite is, but the fan

555
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: consensus is with you two over six of America. But

556
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: the Bengals, well, the fan consensus been better than us

557
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: this year. So usually I would say, well, that doesn't

558
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: make me feel better, but yeah, we can't knock him,

559
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: all right, So that is one hero pick. The next

560
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: time I'm at your house, we're gonna stage an intervention.

561
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: If you think you're a Bengals fan, now definitely not.

562
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: You can bring over your dossier. The dossier will come out,

563
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: and I will convince you that you are a misled

564
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: young man. I've actually only heard the word dossier in

565
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: reference to Bengal to anti being propaganda from West. It's

566
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: not propaganda in the least. I have a grotesque, unconditional

567
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: love for the Jets. But if something ever happened where

568
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: the Jets weren't around anymore, I you could you could

569
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: bet a lot that I would pick a franchise with

570
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: some nice history to them, because I need to get

571
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: on a winner before I die. Yeah, I'm not going

572
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: with another loser. I want to just hoping from one,

573
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: from one loser bed to another. Exactly, it's a short

574
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: ride up to Foxboro, buddy. Yeah, So I wouldn't go that, right,

575
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: because Tom Brady's getting older, He's gonna couple of years

576
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: and that he's gonna be on five rings. His little

577
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: cruise six daughter is already a Jets fan because she

578
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: can see I have a long life ahead of me.

579
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: I need to be on the right train. According to Mark,

580
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is going to be traded this season somehow

581
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: sto I said a Patriots quarterback and I was incorrect.

582
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. So that's one hero pick.

583
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: We have another hero pick. Uh, and this one made

584
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: me happy because Mark, Mark Sessler, Uh, you have a long,

585
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: long It's been long known that you love the Browns

586
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: and you believe in this team, this seven and five

587
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: outfit with Brian Hoyer still at quarterback. What faith this

588
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: organization has in the veteran passer, the Bruce Springsteen of

589
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: Cleveland working class hero And guess what, none of us

590
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: picked the Browns because we were we were spooked a

591
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: little bit by last week, and only speaking for myself,

592
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: I would have picked the Browns of Manzella was starting

593
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: with still there. I can't do it now. You explain,

594
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: Mr Cessler, if you would, why you picked the Browns.

595
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: Please defend your hero. Well, in the middle of the night,

596
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: I woke up. It was probably two fifty AM, and

597
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: I just was hit with a sensation that said, if

598
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: you have a chance, if you can get into work

599
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: quick enough before that photographer takes that screenshot of our picks,

600
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: I had the Colts switch it over to Cleveland. I thought,

601
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: why would I do this? But you know what, I'm

602
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: tired of Number one. I can slowly feel a the

603
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: newsroom in all of America cruising in and wanting to

604
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: hate on Cleveland now, kind of saying, you've had your

605
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: nice season. Now it's time to shut it down and

606
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: go back and be the eight and eight, six and ten,

607
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: four and twelve team that you really are. It's time

608
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: to hate on the Browns. You know what, This game

609
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: is gonna go one of two ways. The one way

610
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: that scares me is Trent Richardson blows up Josh Cribbs

611
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: run two kicks back and Rob Chazinski is dancing on

612
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: the sideline pointing in everyone. But the other way is

613
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: that the quarterback they stuck with, whether it's him in

614
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 1: a combination of Manzille, or whether this Mike Petton team

615
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: that has been counted out week after week stands up

616
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: and takes care of the biggest game in Cleveland all

617
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: season and also in decades taste care of business. I'm

618
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: on that train. I got goose bumps. We should play

619
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: the Rudy music right now. I believe that they are

620
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: facing the Colts, as we mentioned yesterday, are absolutely on

621
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: fire right now. They're gonna be tough to defend. I

622
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: have to do this. I have to go Cleveland. Don't

623
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: have music ah too bad. By the way, I don't

624
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: know if you guys are picking up on this with

625
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: the Mark right now, but Mark is invested more than

626
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: ever since we've known him in the in the rounds.

627
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: Winning this week. I am a little nervous about what

628
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: could happen on Sunday though, if if the Colts jump

629
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: ahead and things start to take a turn, um the

630
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: quiet storm, uh markets very intense West as you know

631
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: on Sundays. There's nothing like it. I mean it's not

632
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: even Mark. It's like it's a different guy. The feelings

633
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: aren't coming out of him. Well, he ceases to be

634
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler and he becomes the quiet Quiet Storm. I'm

635
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: just a little worried. What could happen when people start

636
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: cheering from Manzelle. Well, then Greg will stand up on

637
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: the desk and yell about being group thinkers. And I

638
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: didn't say anything publicly un tell the podcast. They took

639
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: his tea viciously below average. They stole his innocence a

640
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: childlike but not to suggest innocence or purity. They made

641
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: a football life about his misery, control all to leap

642
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: and opened the factory upsetness that never closed. Now the

643
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: climate is right for revenge this winter, there's a hurricane

644
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: coming for anyone who looks in this direction on a Sunday,

645
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: It'll be an apocalyptic sunset. Mark Sessler, did Quiet Store?

646
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: This show cannot end fast enough? And I have a

647
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: sharply worded letter to handle you, my friend. Oh boy,

648
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: that's where you that's the doctor you were at TV.

649
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: Well done with the editing there, I Quiet Storm is

650
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: coming in the theater. Did you do that before you

651
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: knew I made a hero pick too. No, it all

652
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: worked out perfectly in this case. But yeah, but my

653
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: point is this could end disastrous. And by the way,

654
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: t D, I'm sure people are gonna want to be

655
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: able to download that, so we'll have to get that

656
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: out to them. We'll be hearing that a few more times. Um,

657
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: I am concerned. I'm just gonna say it. I sit

658
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: across from you. I could feel the energy. Sometimes. I

659
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: hope it doesn't work out that way. I want the

660
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: Browns to win for you, but I'm a little nervous. Well,

661
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: I also see this movie. If I win and I

662
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: get up on the picks, you can not. This is

663
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: all This is a spectrum game. It's gonna be the

664
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: end of the earth, or it's gonna be glory. Who

665
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: did my wife, who works in casting, who did she

666
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: cast Mark Sessler as in the biopic Joakin Phoenix? Yes?

667
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like that. That's perfect walking through the

668
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: forest or something rain. I love the idea of lacking

669
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: Phoenix this quiet storm. Well, we'll see alright, moving on,

670
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: gotta move on. We could talk about Mark's movie career

671
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: at length in a future podcast, maybe during the offseason.

672
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: But now we got to get to Detroit Ford Field

673
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: to be specific, where the Lions will host the Tampa

674
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. Uh the lines, you know, let's let's be

675
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: truthful about it. They are uh right next to the

676
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: Packers in the standings, but none of us really believe

677
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: believe in them. They could they win out, they win

678
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: the division. Uh, we'll see if they end up putting

679
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: up a fight and make that Week seventeen game against

680
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: the Packers meaningful. But for now, they play bad Bucks team.

681
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: That's too in ten. They got to take care of business,

682
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: and we assume they will. Right. You'd have to look

683
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: pretty hard to find a more unfair matchups than the

684
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: line's defensive line against the Bucks offensive line. Yes, it's

685
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: nice to see West finally admitting that Josh McCown can't

686
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: save this terrible Bucks team. I never said he would save.

687
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: I stopped. I can't watch this team. And I saw

688
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: the shot you took at me in your quarterback in there.

689
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what Greg's QB index? He did one to

690
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: thirty two. Check that out at NFL dot com. Slash

691
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: does it have a vent? It doesn't, But you can

692
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: just go to a c l or whatever. The bucks.

693
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: You know they are terrible, but they've been in eight

694
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: games decided by I want to know what the shot was, like,

695
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: Why did anyone think going to Josh McCown was gonna

696
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: help Glennan has been better? Did you link to a photo?

697
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: I also wanted to know that I wasn't being biased,

698
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: so I went and checked out QBR, I checked out

699
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, I checked out Football Outside Is. They

700
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: all had glenn and higher two. He's McCown is not.

701
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: It's good. I mean the offensive line is not good either,

702
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: but he's the hell quarterbacks. Josh McCown is not the answer.

703
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he is, but he's not as bad

704
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: as Mike Lennon. What was the shot? I mean, there

705
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: was no other show. You said, Chris Wesley has vehemently

706
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: disagree with me, and then you cited all these staffs

707
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 1: him up. But West, when the boss speaks out against

708
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: you on a website, you just have to lay down

709
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: and excited. I thought it was a sign of respect

710
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: because it's so rare. We you know, we disagree this much.

711
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, I had to Mark is by far the

712
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: most reverential towards Greg Now I'm just saying that show.

713
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: It's like whatever said call me out on an international website.

714
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: I'd have to say, Wow, maybe I have to rethink

715
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: my own thinking. I trust myself. But Greg is never

716
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: wrong like us. You've turned him into like a I

717
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: don't like. I don't like. Uh so, Yeah, I mean,

718
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: all right, McCown not very good and we might have

719
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: missed another making leave candidate potentially, I think joker. I

720
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: think we went down on the other thing I will

721
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,959
Speaker 1: say is this and I don't think this is the game.

722
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: I said on a Wednesday show, I don't think the

723
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: lines make the playoffs because I think they're gonna pull

724
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: the lines at some point and blow an easy game.

725
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they're gonna blow this one though this

726
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: see like West said this, everything seems lined up for

727
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: a blowout. It would be stunning if they didn't win

728
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns. Agree, I would be when the Buck's

729
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: solution is going back to Doug Martin just because Charles

730
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: Sims looks like it looks like the running back version

731
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: of Jermaine Gresham or something like. That's what he looks

732
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: like donning back there. They just have no answer. Big

733
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: game last week they put in O'Neil Cousins is an

734
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: extra tight end to establish the run. They put all

735
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: their marbles in and Doug Martin had a good first half.

736
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: He had more yards in the first half than he

737
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: had in any game most season, and he finished the

738
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: game at three point two yards per cary, which is

739
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: an upgrade on Is it his team around him or

740
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: is it Martin? He's is indecisive at the line as

741
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: any running back in the league. I think that has

742
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: to do with timing. If you read an excellent Joe

743
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: Peznavski piece this week on Priest Homes, he talks a

744
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: lot about needing three steps and getting the timing down

745
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: with your offensive lineman. They've had offensive lineman shuffled in

746
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: and out there. But he's also not very quick. There's

747
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: no explosive. If we're gonna say Tampa has a terrible

748
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: line and they do, that's going to affect your running game. Yes,

749
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: of course, Bobby Rainey's averaging four point three yards, but

750
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: when when he was the muscle hamster a couple of

751
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: years ago. Wasn't he quick then? Or is this something

752
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: where he's been slowed injury? But it was a shoulder

753
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: injury that shut him down last year? What happened to

754
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: this guy? And he's to me, he's one of those

755
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: guys that's hard to figure out because he looked like

756
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: a young star and now he just seems like a Jag.

757
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: I agree, he does seem like a jack anyway. So

758
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: that will be a blowout. Let's move on to another one. Uh,

759
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Actually this might not be about the Texans.

760
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: Uh six and six and uh listen, I think they're

761
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: still on the mix right now in the a f

762
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: C playoff race because they have the best player in

763
00:36:54,239 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. Maybe in J. J. Watts can't be played enough. J. J. Watt,

764
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: who's coming off one of the more dominant games of

765
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: the season. Now he gets to go to Jacksonville face

766
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: the Jaguars team that, let's face it, you know, messed

767
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: up their draft standing a little bit by beating the

768
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: Giants by accident on Sunday. So now the Texans can

769
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: get to seven and six if they take care of business.

770
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: We'll see what version of Ryan Fitzpatrick they get. They

771
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: won't get the guy through six touchdowns on Sunday. I

772
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: think there's some zero pick potential here. We all picked

773
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: the Texans. I thought, I thought hard about the Jaguars.

774
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: I don't see these two teams is two different and

775
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: it's in Jacksonville. Maybe they found something last week a

776
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: little bit with Bordles in the hurry up you look

777
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: good at the end of the game. It just wouldn't

778
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: surprise me if this is one of those kind of

779
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: divisional upset games in Jacksonville. One. Yeah, I agree, wouldn't

780
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: have shocked me either. I mean, I don't think they

781
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: need to. They don't need They don't need a Fitzpatrick

782
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: who throws six touchdowns. They need one who doesn't throw

783
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: any interceptions. And he showed a lot of chemistry with

784
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins last week. And Dan you said it. I

785
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: think every one of us has covered the Texans. It

786
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what game it is this year. J J.

787
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: Watt I would form for m VP. At this point,

788
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: I realized that's a weird thing to do. But like

789
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: every single game, he is single handedly involved in why

790
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: they win. He's scoring touchdowns that even even if they

791
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs, and let's say they go nine

792
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: and seven, and what you know, does what he's doing

793
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: and ends up with this outrageous stat line and all

794
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: these wow plays. I know Aaron Rodgers is having a

795
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: great year in this other players that are as well

796
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: as too, but I would think you would almost have

797
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: to give it to him because he willed the team

798
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: to playoff contender status just by his great anybody can

799
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: will a team to eight and eight or nine and seven. Oh,

800
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: come on, you know you're letting your hatred of the

801
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: Texans infect Texans at all. I like the Texas, But

802
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is having an awesome year any any effects game,

803
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: an amazing team around him. What took it makes a

804
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: three and thirteen team and nine and seven team. I mean,

805
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: that's what's more valuable than a guy that can swing

806
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: that amount of win. The way though, the m v

807
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: P Award is trash because it's always really going to

808
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: go to an offensive players, gonna go to a quarterback

809
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: unless no quarterbacks have a good year, which I don't think.

810
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: I think what is a strong candidate. I probably would

811
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: vote Rock second right now behind but Rogers is the

812
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: most valuable and Rogers deserves it obviously. I mean, he's

813
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: been amazing this season and he's an all time quarterback.

814
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just you know, here's what I'll find interesting,

815
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, Did you write this article that Bill O'Brien said,

816
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: We're not. This isn't a circus with J. J. Watt

817
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: playing offense. He was an all state tight end in

818
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: high school, had a scholarship to college to play tight end.

819
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: To me, there's no reason why he can't be used

820
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: in the red zone on a regular basis. And and

821
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: maybe he will and maybe uh, they'll need to keep scoring.

822
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: They they won't have. Jadeveon Clowney was out for the year,

823
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: But what a terrible season. Yeah, I know he's it's

824
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: all injuries, but it's still disappointing for a guy that

825
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: had a very poor last year in college, or not

826
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: very poor, but a disappointing. He's had two straight disappointing years.

827
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't think he was necessarily treated

828
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: well by his own team. We had the reports all

829
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: season up team being disappointed with them. The guy's knee

830
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: was messed up even after he came back. There's not

831
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: much you can do when you can't move the way

832
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: you know. That's bad spot for him. Real quick props.

833
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: We'd nailed making the leap on DeAndre Hopkins. That was

834
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: the best game I've seen by a wide receiver all year.

835
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: Came out of the gate with two diving catches, he

836
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: has two deep touchdowns, gets almost a hundred yards after

837
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: the catch, just running wild. It reminded me of the

838
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: game all Sean Jeffrey had last year against the Vikings,

839
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: where he just dominated in every phase of the game.

840
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: Was Fitzpatrick though it was at a total mirage. He's

841
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: gonna go back to the being the nightmare that we

842
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: saw before. Well, I think Ryan Fitzpatrick, we know who

843
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: he is. Last week doesn't change anything. He's still Ryan Fitzpatrick. Alright,

844
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: Moving on, we all took the Texans there. Next up

845
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, Ravens head to Miami to face the Dolphins. Now,

846
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: this is an interesting game the Ravens uh coming up

847
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: really that bad, bad loss of the Chargers got clipped

848
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: at the end and they faced the Dolphins, who are

849
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: seven and five in the mix in the wild card race.

850
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: Gregg would say, they're right in the mix with the

851
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: A f C East race. You know, they beat the

852
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: Jets and it was not a very impressive win. But

853
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: now they're at home and Helodi Uh Nada got suspended

854
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: on Thursday, four games. He's out until the end of

855
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: the regular season, so he could rejoin them before the

856
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, by the start of the playoffs if they

857
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: make it. But that's a huge loss with this team.

858
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: How big a loss is not a last year I

859
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: would have said not very big because he wasn't playing

860
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: that well. But I think Gregg's pointed this out. He's

861
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 1: he's been playing at borderline All Pro level this year. Well.

862
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: And Andrews Siciliano pointed out downstairs that he's one reason

863
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: that c. J. Mosley has had the season. He said, right,

864
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: I think not has been in All Pro or right there.

865
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean Gerald McCoy is having a great year. In

866
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: the middle of the Dominans Woe is having a great year.

867
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: All three of them, Uh could be Defensive Player of

868
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: the Year candidates if it was a different year. And

869
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: what wasn't around. Look, the Ravens have lost their two

870
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: best players on defense since Jimmy Smith left. They have

871
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: not been the same in the secondary, and now you

872
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: lose Holodi Nada. That's a problem. That was an off

873
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: I was already totally on. I was on the fence

874
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: with this game. It really I had a hard time

875
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: picking it, and now I'm just gonna go Dolphins for that.

876
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I and I yesterday, you know, I

877
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: apologize to this corporation of Merror Trade. We have this thing,

878
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: this competent call, and I went with with the Ravens.

879
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: But then since then, man not not as out with

880
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: some sort of you know, he's suspending, he's out. Well

881
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm to recap. We we are changing two of our calls.

882
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm actually going to the Dolphins too. All right,

883
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: Well it wasn't your call though, at least that's that's

884
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: by the merrit Trade. People should have done word research

885
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: on how competent we were as people well, or the

886
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: Merror Trade probably not on board with us making picks

887
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: on Tuesday when suddenly a wild storm of information comes

888
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: at us and tells us their best defenders. Not in

889
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: next week. It would be like the mealy mouth the

890
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: week losers. We're doing the best we can. It's hard

891
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: picking this these games. It's stressful. I mean, you're right,

892
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: you remember, terrible stressible if you drop out of the race,

893
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: Like everyone does have that Tannehell game in their mind

894
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: from last week. And I think that's that's the problem

895
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: watching that. I don't know what's up with this Dolphins defense.

896
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: You think of their rush defense, who's given up four

897
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: hundred yards in the last weeks, having to go against

898
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: Jack Baltimore, and there's nothing wrong with that, you know,

899
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: running game, they should have another two hundred yards alright.

900
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: Moving on, the New York Jets head to Minnesota to

901
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: face the Vikings. This feels like a game we don't

902
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: have to spend too much time on. Jets are going

903
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: nowhere and they're forced to play a quarterback no one

904
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: believes in. So that's cool. And the Vikings are you know,

905
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: they've hung around their five and seven, but not a

906
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: great team by any stretch. We're trying to find out

907
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: what Teddy Bridgewater is made of? How will Mark greg

908
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: You seem to really be not too impressed by Teddy Bridgewater.

909
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: Why do you? I'm I'm turning around. I have a

910
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: hot Teddy Bridgewater take. Well, if you had to take

911
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: one of these rookie quarterbacks, Marks the rookie expert around here,

912
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: but I want that. I think if you had to

913
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: pick a rookie quarterback to win a game this week,

914
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: it's definitely Bridgewater. I just think he plays like a veteran.

915
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: He just smells and this maybe it's damning with faint praise,

916
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: but he's a guy like analysts like to call crafty

917
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: or he's just a winner. He just smells like he's

918
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: going to have this Alex Smith, you know, maybe Andy

919
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: Dalton like career, and that even right now you can

920
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: kind of see that he plays more like a veteran

921
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 1: than the rest of the rookies. I wrote the same

922
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: thing in my game you wind notes for three weeks

923
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: in a row, that he's he's a future Alex Smith.

924
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: Oh really, I still the whole take actually from West.

925
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: That's right. That wasn't on purpose, sinister manner. He does

926
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: all these things like trying to get the other, you know,

927
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,919
Speaker 1: side to go off sides and doing it in really

928
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: complicated ways, and just all these things that you know,

929
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: other rookies heads are swimming too much, I think to

930
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: be trying to pull that stuff off. You know what

931
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: you're talking about, Wes. You know what else he has

932
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: our guy Charles Johnson. That's right. And you know, Wes

933
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: and I were we were laughing at that. Charles Johnson

934
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: might have a little promise you know what, they just

935
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: benched Cordarol Patterson are number one, making the leap guy

936
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: another Cordel Patterson just saying, you know, everyone's making fun

937
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: of him six months ago. Now he's a starter and

938
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: he's got more targets than anyone on the team. I

939
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: think could start over Courdel Patterson at this point. You

940
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: know what, keep knocking Charles Johnson. Just make it a trend.

941
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 1: Make it your thing, Dan, Wait, no, it's your thing.

942
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: You love Charles Johnson so much. Let's see it now

943
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: he's in the starting lineup. He's done it for three weeks. Okay,

944
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: what did he do last week? Let's talk about it again.

945
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: Two catches for thirty yards. They barely threw the ball.

946
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: He was targeted like seven times. Did he catch that

947
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: little frisbee throw? We'll talk about him every week, Let's see.

948
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 1: I'd like to see a big game that we talked

949
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: about him every week. I think this is like maybe

950
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: the third time since August that we've mentioned his name,

951
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: probably the best receiver on the Jets. Everybody calmed down.

952
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: I want the Vikings to win this game, and I

953
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: want them to keep winning at home so that they

954
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: reconsider and maybe just stay in that outdoor stadium. That's

955
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: a home field advantage right there. We're bringing great over

956
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: to her side. But there is something about it was

957
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: like ten degrees there last weeks. I can't wait till

958
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: Eric Decker hides in Teddy Bridgewater is tough old bag

959
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: and stays on the Vikings because he can't wait to

960
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: get out of that team. He would want to go

961
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: to the Vikings. He's got a better playing snow away

962
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: and it's gonna finish. I didn't even know alright. Moving on,

963
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 1: we all picked the Vikings. Moving on the Carolina Panthers. Oh,

964
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 1: what a big showdown in the NFC South. Get excited.

965
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: The Panthers roll into the Superdome to face the Saints.

966
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: The Saints now five and seven, tied with the Falcons

967
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: of top TENNASY South. The Panthers playing out the string.

968
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: They stink. Uh. I thought the Saints looked great against

969
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers West. You did you watch that game yet

970
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: on your old game rewind diary notes the Saints game? Yes, yes,

971
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: your thoughts about them? Well? I thought I was happy

972
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: that mark Ingram looked good again after taking a couple

973
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: of weeks off with the shoulder injury. I was one.

974
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Breeze looked good, but their passing games

975
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: still was like, all right, why is Kenny still is

976
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: the only guy doing anything? If Caroline is gonna win

977
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: this division at five ten and one, they're gonna need

978
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,959
Speaker 1: to take this game on Sunday. I can't believe how

979
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 1: bad the Panthers are, how unfun they are to watch.

980
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: I never thought i'd reach a stage where I don't

981
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: enjoy watching Cam Newton because that was my number one guy.

982
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: I would say going into the year, they need to

983
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: do a better job next year, giving him some players

984
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: around him. Well, he's gonna leave, We'll leave. No, he

985
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: can't leave. Well, eventually, when he can leave, he will

986
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: because he'll get annoyed and frustrated with the losing, and

987
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 1: then that's the NFL works. Quarterbacks can't leave. If the

988
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: team wants him to stay, he could have a new

989
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: coach and a new coordinator next year. They could also

990
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 1: offer him a hundred whatever million dollars this offseason, which

991
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 1: would seem smart to do and he'd probably take it.

992
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: I guess he could pull a Carson Palmer. That's his

993
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: only option, but with the franchise tag, quarterbacks have to

994
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: stay where they are. Well, this will be your favorite

995
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: Panthers game of the year because D'Angel Williams broke his

996
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: hand and now they have to go to Jonathan Stewart

997
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: who played great last week. D'angela Williams has had a

998
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: very nice career. Uh, And it would be hoo riverboat

999
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: rn to realize that was in the past tense. Ron

1000
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: might be in the past tense. Yes, that would be

1001
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: dramatic if that happened, paddle boat Roun. I guess I

1002
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: just have a bit of assessor that Cam Newton is

1003
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: not a Panther for life. I think his career before

1004
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: he turns age thirty, he's gonna be somewhere else if

1005
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: if it is, if that happens, it'll be because he

1006
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: never develops HM. It's called a fourth year. He needs

1007
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: two out of every ten sesslers happened to come true,

1008
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: by the way, So that's just that, that's totally just

1009
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: out there is a potential. Guess how many area ms

1010
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: do we have here? Wow, there are a lot of games. Well,

1011
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: Kim News coming on under a little too much fire

1012
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: this year. Give him an offensive line, give him wide receivers. Yeah,

1013
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: and please give him a quarterback guru instead of Mike.

1014
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: That's the that's the biggest issue. I mean, imagine if

1015
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: he was on Philly or some or Miami or some

1016
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: team that knew what to do with a with a

1017
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, got Mike Shula. Who couldn't win, Who couldn't

1018
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 1: win at Alabama with all the advantages in the world,

1019
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Next up, the Giants go

1020
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: to Nashville to play the Tennessee franchise. I don't know

1021
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: how this happened, but we all picked the Giants to

1022
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: win on the road. I know the Titans stink, but

1023
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: come on, we all getting behind the Giants at such

1024
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: a vast level. That's that seems a little crazy. There

1025
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: were a couple five across picks this this week that

1026
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: got me worried that we're starting to become what I

1027
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: was accusing the newsroom of last week. A lot of

1028
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: group think figure was not happy with Rosenthal taking what

1029
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: was were perceived the shots at the newsroom. A shadowy

1030
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: league figure loomed over Greg, probably twice as big as Greg,

1031
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: and basically pointed down out of him and said, so

1032
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 1: you're taking shots at the news room. Yeah, I said

1033
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: I was a wet blanket and whatever, not enjoying the

1034
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: Johnny Manzel era or whatever. Painted Greg as someone that

1035
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: doesn't approach this job in a professional manner. Anyway, we

1036
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: all took the Titans. There's anything else we need to

1037
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: say about this game, because yeah, Odell back on the

1038
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: Star to watch. We've mentioned all of the national media

1039
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: love for Zach Mettenberger, which is making me scratch my

1040
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: head to a surious degree. I saw a step this

1041
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: week failed drive percentage, which means you've got the Bowl

1042
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: and you don't get a field goal or a touchdown.

1043
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 1: In the last fifteen years, he has the third worst

1044
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: percentage ever. I think any QB with a big arm

1045
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: gets a lot of rope when they hit the scene

1046
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: he might hang. I think Greg has made me watch

1047
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: a Titans game on a Sunday for seventeen straight weeks,

1048
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 1: so I can I can tell you that Mettenberger hits

1049
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: two or three passes a day that I guess people

1050
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: are seeing on Prime Time or something or on Total

1051
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: Access people who have fall in love with big arms

1052
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: like the My entire September was stained by the Titans

1053
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: four straight weeks. I covered that tight Dan, you're off

1054
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: the you don't finally a game. You get to watch

1055
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: an exciting player like Odell Beckham, but Connor will have

1056
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: the game, not you, too bad, count or the Great

1057
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 1: Connor Or lives in a haunted mansion in the middle

1058
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: of New Jersey. Moving forward to St. Louis Rams, the

1059
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: best five and seven team in the history of the NFL,

1060
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: UH faces the Washington Redskins and Colt McCoy r G

1061
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: three wasting away. Nobody even talks about the guy anymore.

1062
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: And you know that's not such a bad thing. McCoy

1063
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: put up some decent numbers last week, uh in a

1064
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: loss to Minnesota, but that was a little Indianapolis. Excuse me,

1065
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: but that was a little deceiving. Uh. This seems we've

1066
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 1: talked about. We talked about at the Rams goes seven

1067
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: or nine every year and then everyone's is how amazing

1068
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: the Rams are going to be in the future. So

1069
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: you figure, if they gotta get two more wins in

1070
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: the next four weeks, this will be one of them

1071
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: to get to seven. Right. I love that. Jeff Fisher

1072
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 1: was asked this week if he would do the RG

1073
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: three trade over again. Yeah, you have to ask that question,

1074
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: But I just love that he was asking. It's like

1075
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, I think I would do that. That

1076
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: thinking group think you don't have to ask that question,

1077
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: but national media types love to think that you have

1078
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: to ask that question. It is, of course, but it

1079
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 1: is kind of fun to think about when these two teams,

1080
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: what you have? What's a football game without eighteen narratives?

1081
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: Well they're happy not to have r G three and

1082
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: that makes sense, but what was the final what do

1083
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: they get out of that deal? I know it's all

1084
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: there is a list and it's um, it's in a

1085
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: story we just did and it's Michael google Tree, Zack Stacy,

1086
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: Michael Brocker's a number of them are making their defense

1087
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: what they are. It's like, I mean, they're still going

1088
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: seven or nine every year and major problem why they

1089
00:52:58,120 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: go seven and nights because they don't have a quarterback.

1090
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: Zack RG three wasn't the guy that should have taken

1091
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: but still uh yeah, so maybe he's a star if

1092
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: he's in St. Louis because Mike Shanahan never puts him

1093
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: back into a playoff game. That's very cool. Called McCoy though,

1094
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: was a little flashier than expected last week, not not great,

1095
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: You're not as good as his numbers. But he made

1096
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: some very athletic, kind of exciting place. He was kinda

1097
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: if anything like we said, he has extended his career

1098
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: half a decade. He's not going to be working in

1099
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: a hardware store four months from now. He's gonna still

1100
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: be in the NFL. McCoy's bought into Jay Gruden's offense,

1101
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 1: and r G three hasn't. Who lasts longer Colt McCoy

1102
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: r G three in the NFL, Well, I mean called

1103
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: McCoy by the way, called McCoy is is older. But

1104
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: but but it's all the one thing about him. He's

1105
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: always been a guy who's great in the locker room,

1106
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: great in the quarterback room, r G three everywhere. Everything

1107
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: he does seems to turn into total nightmare for the

1108
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: coaches in the locker room. So I say, call McCoy,

1109
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: hold on, I just got a tweet from RG three

1110
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: saying it's on a nightmare. Oh sorry, J J God.

1111
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean the whole thing between Gruden and Griffin, and

1112
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: you can say about Shanian too, it seems very personal

1113
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: that if they liked the player, if they liked Griffin

1114
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: at all, that a lot of these things wouldn't happen

1115
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: because if, if, if Griffin is a guy that they

1116
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: truly liked, they wouldn't be just burying him and saying

1117
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: we're done with him, like we're we're done with him,

1118
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: all right? This is next game is a big one

1119
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 1: for West and I we on Wednesday show, and if

1120
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: you haven't listened to it, you definitely should. You can

1121
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: find all our podcasts West at NFL dot com Slash

1122
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: podcast nice. Uh, and we talked about who would be

1123
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: our wild card picks. West and I both see the

1124
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs getting in the back door, so they gotta win

1125
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: this game. They're going to Arizona. Uh. They are sitting

1126
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: at seven and five right now, Arizona, of course nine

1127
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: and three, but riding a two game losing streak. Sessler

1128
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: has already predicted a nine and seven finished for the Cardinals,

1129
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: so you know where he stands on this. Well, I

1130
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: also plug car everyone kicked the Cardinals. Oh wait, no,

1131
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: that's not fair. I operate in many directions. It's total

1132
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: that's lame. You've been saying. This is why at the top,

1133
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: because I will surprise is not an achievement when of

1134
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 1: the group is tied at the top. Well, it's better

1135
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: Where's wests, But you know I'd rather be where I

1136
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: wait a second, So you're saying the Cardinals are gonna

1137
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: go nine and seven, but they're gonna win their tenth

1138
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Everything is in play. That is That

1139
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: is the most Tessler thing. Everything is in place. Worry

1140
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: about your own picks, and then there you can still

1141
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: change it. I'm taking one minute break, you guys, You guys,

1142
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: go on. I think that's absolutely fair. Two different platforms,

1143
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: different agendas. This is another game, though, that was extremely

1144
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 1: hard to pick. And I'm shocked that we went five

1145
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: across on the Cardinals because I really struggled trying to

1146
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: pick this game, especially after watching the Cardinals give a

1147
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: five yards to Atlanta and we all went with Cars.

1148
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: I was just thinking I was going with the Chief.

1149
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: Dan come back into the show. I'm still processing it. Okay,

1150
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm back. I think when I was watching the Atlanta game,

1151
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: I thought maybe Drew Stanton had a chance, maybe Bruce

1152
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: arians could have made something out of him if they

1153
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: had a running game and if Larry Fitzgerald was healthy.

1154
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: But they don't know what to sneak back this week though, Fitzgerald.

1155
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what the stats are, but I can

1156
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: tell you just by watching games. The Cardinals have by

1157
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: far the worst rushing attack in the NFL. Well, they're

1158
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: their third statistically, I think second or third. Well over

1159
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: the last month they have to yeah, in terms of

1160
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, but they have the advantage that

1161
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: they've played with the lead almost all season too. But

1162
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: so to be thirty feet even though they've had so

1163
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: many leads is crazy. I mean, Marian Grice was their

1164
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: leading rusher last week. Isn't that John Wayne's real name?

1165
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: And now you lose Honey Badger. It's just they have

1166
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: had a tough spot, but the Chiefs have been off

1167
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: of the last two weeks too. I think I know

1168
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: what it is, Mark, because if if, if this is

1169
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 1: what it is, where you're what does Mark say doesn't

1170
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: mean anything? Is anything? And anything? And then I wonder

1171
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 1: about our friendship and the conversations we've had in confidence

1172
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: with each other where we've told each other things. Have

1173
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: you ever been truthful with me? Or is there another agenda?

1174
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 1: I've never been truthful with you. It's all amissed, none

1175
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: of it's real. You're a You're a nehlist game picker. No,

1176
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: you know what, I honestly forget I kind of forget

1177
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: my picks and I don't even remember picking the Cardinals

1178
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: till about five minutes ago. That this is your chance, now,

1179
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: last chance to get on page with yourself. I will

1180
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: get right on that when this show ends. Alright, Moving

1181
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo Bills, I don't believe you for some reason.

1182
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: I don't think you will change I pick. I have

1183
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: till Sunday to make my mind. The Buffalo Bills are

1184
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: traveling to Denver to face the bronc is the Bills,

1185
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: by the way, and they're fans that deserve to be

1186
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: happy about the Bills being a contention in December. You're

1187
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: about the drum bomb on him. Yeah, but yes, guess

1188
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. It's it's just about to end. I

1189
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: have this video, actually there's a video, uh YouTube video.

1190
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: Somebody in the Buffalo Air, I would assume, put together

1191
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: a beautiful and read the end around to see this

1192
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: a beautiful Christmas display where they time it up with

1193
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: music and the lights, and it's like something clearly took

1194
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: them hours and hours and perhaps weeks to set up.

1195
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: And it's like a Bill's theme Christmas light spectacular on

1196
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: their house. And I'm thinking to myself, God, good thing

1197
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: they got this done before the December schedule hit, because

1198
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: what do they got they have at Broncos. What does

1199
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: it have like a Patriots Patriots packers. Basically, they're in

1200
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs right now, So just enjoy seven and five

1201
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: because in a blink you're gonna be seven and eight.

1202
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: I think, Mark, that's a great way to look at it.

1203
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: You're already in the playoffs. Look at the teams you

1204
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: get to play, and you can get to lose and

1205
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: stay in the playoffs. I want to say, this Christmas display,

1206
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: does it have like a Kyle Orton throwing the ball

1207
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: that that misses his receiver and hits them in the

1208
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: feet or something. Does it have Sammy Watkins disappointing people?

1209
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Robert Woods by the way, the whole Robert

1210
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: would Sammy Watkins preseason sandwich that has suddenly got an interest.

1211
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: He's dropped eleven yards last week. There we go, Sammy

1212
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: Watkins fifty one for six and nine, five and five,

1213
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: Robert Woods forty nine for five, fifty and three. But

1214
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: he's caught up about a hundred and fifty yards in

1215
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: the last two weeks alone. Usually takes Robert Woods five

1216
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: ways to get a hundred fifty yards, so he's that's progress. Well,

1217
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: Watkins has fallen off the map the last four weeks.

1218
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he's crossed thirty five yards in any

1219
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: of these games. They gave him the business last week.

1220
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: They bracketed him and him got physical with him. Who

1221
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: did what was it? Whoever? They were playing against Cleveland,

1222
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: oh West block House blocked out the brown Browns. Well,

1223
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: let's just like eliminates it from his brain. Some team.

1224
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:47,959
Speaker 1: I totally expect the Broncos to win click, but isn't

1225
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: this a pretty fun matchup when the bronc does have

1226
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: the ball, especially, I think it'll be fine. The one

1227
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: thing about Denver if any team can get pass rush

1228
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: on Manny and that makes it interesting to me. The

1229
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 1: Bills might be my favorite fan base in the league.

1230
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: I I wish I do well, do well, but look,

1231
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: it's not your fault. It's not your fault, Bills fans

1232
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: that you're stuck with Kyle Orton any Jays Manuel, Sorry,

1233
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: but your team is not good enough to go to

1234
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: the playoff. You're watching Peyton Manning against that Bill's defense.

1235
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: Tell me when that's happening. That's in intriguing. I like

1236
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: that little match Marcell Darius and Kyle Williams do a

1237
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning sandwich six and a half time, I'm gonna happen.

1238
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners. Oh, it's a it's the Bay

1239
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Bridge Battle, guys, the Battle for the Bay Bridge. The

1240
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners head to Oakland to face the Raiders.

1241
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: The Raiders who lost fifty two nothing last week now

1242
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: facing Niners team that needs to win to stay in

1243
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: contention in the NFC West. So you would think the

1244
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Niners would be sufficiently motivated. However, this has been a

1245
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: bit of a strange season in San Francisco. Any chance

1246
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders put up a fight after really humiliating themselves

1247
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: on last Sunday, Well, this is Jim Harbaugh's audition, not

1248
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: that he needs one against Oakland's. He should drop a

1249
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: hammer on the Raiders and saying do you have inside points? Well,

1250
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: in fact, this is the game where someone gets in

1251
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: a duffel bag and stays with the other team. Hey,

1252
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: the last shaky offense that came into the black hole

1253
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: left with a loss. You know what I'm saying, Kansas

1254
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, you don't want to go to Oakland before

1255
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: after the Raiders lost nothing trying. I don't know, they

1256
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: never know. I don't think the forty Niners offense is

1257
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: good enough to assume that they'll score twenty points points

1258
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: against anyone. I think I like the Niners better on

1259
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: the road than at home. Right. If they're in that

1260
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: if that Jean's Stadium, Gene Pant's house, that's not gonna

1261
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: go well. So put him in Oakland better chance. Former

1262
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: scout John Middlecoff interviewed five coaches in NFL execs and

1263
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: asked them about the quarterback battle in this game. Who

1264
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: would you rather have for the future, Derek Carr or

1265
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick? Unanimously, all five said Derek Carr, Which that

1266
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: blows my mind. I don't know who they're watching. They

1267
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't talk to Ron Jaworski, did they just did? They

1268
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: just mark Davis five times? I don't know who they asked,

1269
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: and look there, Carr could have a nice future, but

1270
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: how can you separate him from the checkdowns he's throwing

1271
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: every game? I just don't get what I don't know

1272
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: and Kaepernick. It seems a little capricious to me, just

1273
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: to jump off what you've ever seen, what you've seen

1274
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: about this very topic that you could find well, yeah,

1275
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: it was about on a micro level Kaepernick versus car

1276
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: and on a macro level, is this the demise of

1277
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: running quarterbacks? Bill Poullian said it this week that we're

1278
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: seeing the erosion of It's been a terrible year for Andrew.

1279
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: Luck used to be grouped with these guys and their

1280
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: similarities to their game, but he has pulled far apart

1281
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: from Russell Wilson Kaepernick in r G three. Now Kaepernick

1282
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson and Cam New should not be grouped with,

1283
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, r G three. They're they're playing fine, but

1284
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Luck is way ahead of them right now. It's Luck,

1285
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Ben Wilson and everyone else. This this article that west

1286
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: Row what's the title of it? Exactly the demise of

1287
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the running QB? Question mark is so good that Dan

1288
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: hands this for only the second time in three years.

1289
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: Rob Chris Wesley article or website if you enjoy that

1290
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: headline came from. Yeah, this is why future managing editor

1291
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler all this desk man Sire to be middle

1292
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: of this kissing up is really paying off. I couldn't

1293
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: possibly surpass Gregg's work. It would be faulty of me

1294
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: to take See the cohesiveness of the group you have

1322
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: Mark Ceiler, the Sizzler. They call him the Mailman, the

1323
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 1: Boss and t d behind the glass. They took his

1324
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: team viciously below average. They stole his innocence, childlike, but

1325
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: not to suggest innocence or purity. They made a football

1326
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: life about his misery. Troll all to lead and open

1327
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: the factory of sadness that never closed. Now the climate

1328
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: is right for revenge this winter, there's a hurricane coming

1329
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: for anyone who looks in this direction on a Sunday,

1330
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 1: it will be an apocalyptic sunset. Mark Sessler did quiet store.

1331
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,720
