1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast didn't fall out that window.

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition on the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas. I'm joined in the room

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: that's filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal.

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: What is up? Boys? All right? Tuesday's show, Week one

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: in the rear view. A lot to get to today.

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Good to be back on a Tuesday show. Our longtime

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: listeners will know we did this show five or five

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: seasons or so and then had to skip it. Unfortunately

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: a year we're back. Shadowy League figures and made us

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: change our night. It's like when the sitcom that they decide,

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: oh let's move them to Friday nights at eight pm,

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: and then the ratings tank and then they blame the sitcom.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: No bro put us back on the time spot where

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: we thrived. That's where we never even I think as

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: early as week one last year, you know, we enjoyed

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: doing uh the we the opportunity given to us. We

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: did the best we could have. But no, I'm gonna

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: say we did but like the but the schedule never

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: felt proper right, and we were just talking about because

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: who knows how long we'll do these Tuesday shows. Um,

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: like these fading bands that are still touring deep into

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: the you know, twenty thirty years after the relevance. Where

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: will we be thirty years from now? Where I mean,

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: I see the only place we could go potentially is

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: like overseas Europe, do sol doorf I mean like and

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: once upon a time in Hollywood where he has to

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: go to Italy to make the couch. I mean to

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: stay even vaguely relevant, I'd stay four or five years.

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Ten years from now, we would be very hot water.

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna be hitting some of those same venues as

32
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: bands are hitting the Troubadour, you know, all around the country.

33
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: This scenario, all four of us are still together as

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: one entity. I'm just saying that this still existed. That's

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: a thirty year forty years now. Or are we just

36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: saying no, We're gonna go three more years and it's

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: over and then what we I still have to make money,

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: don't you how something that's a good transition, um, West, Actually,

39
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: the four of us, I just wanted a little family meeting. Hey,

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: let's let's head downstairs. Actually, let's go let's go down

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: It's just the lamb. Let's go out to the lab. Mark,

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: you two all right, it's been a long time since

43
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: we've been in a while. Died a natural death. I thought, well,

44
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: it's alive, like Frank and Studd brought brought to life

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: down here. Um, I just want to make sure everybody's

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: cool after Sunday show. West, Greg, you've got a little heated.

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: It's a fair question. A little family meeting here, Mark,

48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: and I obviously concerned the listeners as well. Ricky, you

49
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: weren't even here. Yeah, I was up in Wine Country

50
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: and I got asked if you guys were Okay, I'm

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of glad she didn't. I mean, you know, it

52
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: was an engaging discussion, but I think you probably were

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: in a more celebratory place. Yeah. So Greig gave a

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: speech at my wedding. I think we can survive Antonio Brown. Yeah,

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: we're you know, West and I are brothers, brothers, and

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: as we've seen with the Wesley brothers, they're gonna fight sometimes.

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: We we had moved on and we're talking bigger and

58
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: better topics. Immediately, I think it was important just to

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: have a family meeting. And yeah, I mean as opposed

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: to burying your feelings in in in four or five

61
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: seconds in acting like nothing mattered at all. We're fine,

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: we move on, and I'm still concerned a little bit. Yeah,

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: we're kind of like the concerned parents for the brothers

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: that we're fighting and just talk it out. Antonio Brown

65
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: is gonna come up and the news later today. So

66
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: we just as long as everyone's on the same page,

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and you guys have moved on as brothers. That's more

68
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: of a testing ground when we get into the thick

69
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: a bit, you know, issue nice, nicely done. Dad, never person.

70
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's get out of last Dad.

71
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: I thought I was what's Erica Icas? Our little sisters?

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: He's a little sis. That means Dan and I berth Erica.

73
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: That is a ridiculous scenario. You birth Erica. That means

74
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: that one of you guys to win Disney World Right,

75
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: isn't the first man to give birth? Don't they win

76
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: Disney World? Mark? What does that even mean? Not worth

77
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: it at all. I could get in there today if

78
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to. I The whole thing reeks of poor planning.

79
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, that's good, because yes we're gonna get

80
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown and Bill Belichick's comments on the New

81
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: Patriot its wide receiver. That deal is now official. We

82
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: will also um do a little by hold cell after

83
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Week one on a number of topics we'll hit. We'll

84
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: look ahead to Thursday Night football UH and week two,

85
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: which begins with the Bucks at the Panthers. Nice little

86
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: match up there. But before we do any of that,

87
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: including the news, let us finish the Week one slate

88
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: with two Monday night football games, starting with v game

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: of Week one and one of the better Monday Night

90
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: football games of the decade. Let's go, Ricky snap placement

91
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: looks Leans into it, lots is done the distance always,

92
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: Donna says when New Orleans gets the w in the

93
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: season opener, and Will looks just the hero. What's give

94
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: me some of that music, Ricky, give me some of

95
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: that too. No, well, here's a kicker. It's true. I

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: kind of like, I kind of like alright, let's roll

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: with it. Will LUTs bangs of fifty eight yard field

98
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: goal at the gun, uh, lifting the New Orleans Saints

99
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: to a thirty to win over the Texans. An incredible

100
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: game featuring two quarterbacks playing at their peak. Drew Breesh

101
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: got LUTs in position to drill that kick with some

102
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: really fine QB play in the last thirty seven seconds

103
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: of playing time. It only got to that point where

104
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: the Saints are behind because my, my goodness, Deshaun Watson

105
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: goes to place seventy six yards and hits Kenny Stills

106
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: to shock the Super Dome into silence. Uh. There, there

107
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,559
Speaker 1: was so much drama in this game, west really really

108
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: good football. There was a lot of sloppy football throughout

109
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: the week, but this one was kind of an instant

110
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: classic and the Saints come out on top. One of

111
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: the best Monday night games I've seen. Due to my

112
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: own um habits on Monday night watching game pass, I

113
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: didn't come in to the reiving room to watch with

114
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: Lakisha until the Hopkins passed at the end there, and

115
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: I felt like I watched the whole game after that,

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: and it was only it was incredible. I was amazed

117
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: at I guess I shouldn't be at this point at

118
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson's just uncanny ability to play his best

119
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: when he's behind in a tough situation. It reminds me

120
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: so much of the Week sixteen game against the Eagles,

121
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: where he led a great comeback but then the defense

122
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: couldn't hold it at the end and Romeo Cornell that

123
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: the coordinator who had such a great first half ultimately

124
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: saw the Texans defense, which was very good for all

125
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: of last year, totally collapse on itself. Gave up twenty

126
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: seven second half points. Kind of a vintage Drew Brees

127
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: comeback in second half performance. And the soft coverage that

128
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: they played on the final past New Orleans crew was

129
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: just brutal. If you're a Texans fan too, have done

130
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: so many good things in that game and still loses time.

131
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Wake me up in the game where the soft coverage

132
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: scenario in the final mid and a half against the

133
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback works out for you. It's very rare.

134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: I this game is one of those ones and held

135
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: of everything. Along with DeAndre Hopkins starring as an actual player,

136
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: he unfurled a German supplex on a Saints player, which

137
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: was enjoyable to watch. Um Taysom Hill got first the

138
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: first of his seven touchdowns. Bring me simmses but off

139
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: to a good start and all I want to see

140
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: is how are you gonna use players? And it gave

141
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: me a good sense. Come out of the game a

142
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: little concerned about both secondaries, but It was a bit

143
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: of a victory for Bill O'Brien even in the loss

144
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: that Kenny Stills played an integral big part. And I'm

145
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: not too worried about the Laramie Tunsil situation. Yet he

146
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: gave up. He did not play an ideal game at all.

147
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: But it feels like it would be hard in a

148
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: way that we never understand to jump in as a

149
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: left tackle on a team in an offense with like

150
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: four or five days to prepare. It was a great

151
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: start by those running backs to Duke and Carlos Hide.

152
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Especially Carlos Hide look pretty good for a guy who's

153
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: been given up for if times, they looked like a

154
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: perfectly competent one to punch the uh. I believe the

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Texas ran for a hundred and eighty yards and the

156
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: and the Saints had not given up more than a

157
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve all of last season, so they moved

158
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: the ball on the ground. Pass protection remains a major

159
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: issue for Houston, and yeah, we'll see if Tounzil straightens

160
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: himself out. He got beat on a really bad um

161
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: third down crucial play late in the game, but that

162
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: that plays like a good example of why it's tricky

163
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: sometimes to blame the tackles. They you know, the pass

164
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: rusher headers can jump the snap. I mean he was

165
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: off and that's that has nothing to do with the

166
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: tackle and Watson. I wouldn't say that sack is exactly

167
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: as fault, but he went back about eleven or twelve yards.

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: The idea is you want to push the guy behind

169
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 1: your quarterback, and Tonsil even pushed him. And I would say,

170
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: the how many sacks were they were there six six

171
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: in that game. At least two of them are on Watson.

172
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: That's just part of his playing style. That the line

173
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: didn't play well either. I'm not defending it, but but

174
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: it wasn't all well. I just my concerned the pressure

175
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: came from both sides, you know, and that's not it

176
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: just it wasn't It was not a clean game on it.

177
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: How long can he last? And everyone's asking the same

178
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: question on Twitter, but you know he's he's he's clearly

179
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: got a back issue by the time that game ended

180
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: from that touchdown running had and this stuff is the

181
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: kind of way he plays is gonna in fight injuries.

182
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: It was a brilliant performance by Watson and you know,

183
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: I as we know, if you listen to this podcast.

184
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: I've been pumping up the Texans all season, and I

185
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: just think that it's been too often overlooked how great

186
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: this guy is. And I think maybe Monday and Last

187
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: Night changes that because that's such a big audience watching

188
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: it and he starts to finally get recognize for being

189
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: a truly special talent um And and that's to me

190
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: when I look at the a f C South and

191
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: I know their own one, so own one his own one.

192
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: But the X factor in the division to me is

193
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: the Texans have the Shaun Watson and the other teams don't.

194
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna make the difference if he

195
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: stays healthy. Question mark of course, um, I don't think

196
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: any of these other teams catch the Texans. I think

197
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: that when I specifically talk about the holes on their roster,

198
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of overlooking how special Deshaun Watson and DeAndre

199
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: Hopkins are and j J. Watt just because he had

200
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: one game where he didn't make much of an impact,

201
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: he's still special to I mean, I think that depth

202
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: is important, but but also stars win games. But he

203
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: also needs to be j J. Watt because without Jadevan clowney.

204
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he's getting a little more attention. Ryan Ramchuk totally

205
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: shut him down as was one of J. J. Watt's,

206
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: you know, worst career games, and then where are your

207
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: special plays coming from? Because eventually that secondary kind of cloud.

208
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: It was a vintage Watson performance and I think one

209
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: reason he got overlooked this offseason is final impressions that

210
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: we had of him last year the playoff game. And

211
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with Drew Brees. I think we

212
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: overrated how the end of last year went on some

213
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: level just because in the end, he was the second

214
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: best quarterback on balance in the NFL last year and

215
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: even in this game, like he isn't the story and

216
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: they put up yards in twenty seven halftime. I can

217
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: have point he's part of a bigger system. He's got

218
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: great players around him, but I think he can run

219
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: that system. This game did not make me feel better

220
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: about Drew Brees. I think it's a privilege to watch

221
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: today's veteran quarterbacks uh in clock management at the end

222
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: of the game because they've taken it down to a science,

223
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: whereas thirty years ago that wasn't a thing. But the

224
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: field has condensed for the Saints offense. It just has

225
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: since since the first half of last year. They're playing

226
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: on a smaller field and they need Alvin Kamara and

227
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas to be special because Drew brees arm isn't

228
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: what it was, But he didn't attempt to pass over

229
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: thirty yards until that Tedkin forty yards shot in the

230
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: final two. I hear you. It's just they had a

231
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: two plays over forty yards, another over third, two more

232
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: over thirty. It's just the bar is so high with them.

233
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: It's like it's not fun to watch. And maybe he's not.

234
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Their margin for airs just a little smaller than it was.

235
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: And I would be worried if I was them, about

236
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: their defensive tackles and their run defense, and and maybe

237
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: a few things about one little thing. And Dan, you

238
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: pointed out that this is a Twitter victory. I loved

239
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: that ESPN. And you know, I think Monday to Football

240
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: is under a fair amount of pressure. To put it mildly,

241
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: like they unfurled this um for this down and distance

242
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: marker that was bright yellow, and so if you've watched

243
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: football for more than five weeks, your eye is thinking penalty,

244
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: and so you're drawn to what the drama is and

245
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: there's none because it's second and five. But by halftime

246
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: they ESPN put out a tweet saying we heard you.

247
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: We followed the drama and Will Brinson got one of

248
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: these tweets that gets retweeted like seventy five billion times,

249
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: and you know, that was a nice move. But then

250
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: what happens there is they went and changed went No

251
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: he I think that led to the change because they

252
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: saw these viral tweets said this thing is a mess,

253
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: and they changed the graphics. Will, who's a friend of

254
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: the show, is as savvy as they get on Twitter,

255
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: and he went with the old hey, retweet or favorite

256
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: if you want. Uh, the ESPN to change their ways

257
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: and yeah, I thought you had a great tweet because

258
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: you're like this like down in distance mark or is

259
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: it on anyone else's ready? Oh? Yes, everyone else is

260
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: already on top of the print an influencer. Oh till

261
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: not the game on tumbler. Check out Princeton on tumbler.

262
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: It does not get any better than then, and t

263
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: can we go to your corner? Yes, let's do it.

264
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: That coveted numbers two spot behind justin Tucker. It's Will

265
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: LUTs right, he did miss a kick as well today

266
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: at that I don't put him on that that that

267
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: referee time situation forced them into a field goal. They

268
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: should not have the league apologize for that three kicks.

269
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: Ross has got to show me more beyond one year.

270
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: Roses is number six. Who's there with Tucker and let's

271
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: put me on the spot there, Chris, let me think

272
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: about that. Get back to maybe all right, maybe hit

273
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: another six yarder for the extra get another L in

274
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: your name. I think that's a that's a red flag.

275
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: Let's well with one. A lot of misspellings. Game. First thing,

276
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: go with the four car under center, I formations, fins,

277
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: hands off, Jacobs over the right site, digging, turning. He's

278
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: in for the touchdown. I don't know how we burrowed.

279
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: I don't know how he shot marine, but somehow he

280
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: stakes into the end zone. That's a touchdown run of four.

281
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: The Raiders extend their leader. I'm a fourth quarter over

282
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Denver browed Kevin Harlan Westwood one. He's so good. I mean,

283
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: that's a four yard touchdown run and he makes it

284
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: sound like it was the the greatest game that was

285
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: ever played. What was that playing with the Giants and

286
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: was it packersts It does get too quickly at this

287
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: point we should They had seven turnovers in the first half,

288
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: five lost bumbles in the greatest sloppy game ever played.

289
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I see you called Giants calmed down anyway. Derek Carr

290
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: threw a touchdown pass on the opening drive of the season.

291
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs ran for two scores. The Raiders with the

292
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown fiasco swirling around them, humble the Denver Broncos

293
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: sixteen on Monday night in Oakland, the final Monday night

294
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: football game in Oakland before the team moves to Vegas.

295
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: And it is such a crime, Um and Greg, this

296
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: was This is a in terms of six teen, as

297
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: big a beat down as you can get. I just

298
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: thought the Raiders had their way with Denver and it

299
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: was that way from the jump. And all the things

300
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: you thought would happen, uh, namely that the Broncos defense

301
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: would give the Raiders fits, none of that came to

302
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: fruition and instead the Raiders just kind of went up

303
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: and down the field. At May the the Broncos had

304
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: a Ghoston. Longtime listeners of the podcast will remember we

305
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: named a zero sack, zero QB hit game from an

306
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: entire team as a Ghoston maybe a lot we should

307
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: call it now, but you know, couched on the team

308
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: that you were breaking news. Patriots are training wide receiver

309
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: to Marius Thomas to the New York Jets for six

310
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: round a pen that doesn't pass the smell test. What

311
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: it is? I will say this, it is news. I

312
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: mean you have broken it, so it is now breaking news.

313
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: So we normally we would wait till the end of

314
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: the conversation. We just started since ultimately no one's gonna

315
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: listen to it for three hours, just talking like logistics.

316
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: But it was the Jets and Pats involved. It's kind

317
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: of fun and sexy. Yeah, we get getting your Mark

318
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: said good to know I what I you did not

319
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: in your I am client to us suggests that it

320
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: was breaking news. You gave us the update that this

321
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: had happened, which I very much appreciate. I said, good

322
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: and I dash dash at Dan Hansas for you to

323
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: pick up at another time. Erico did it a very

324
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: capable job of breaking the non breaking news. Anyway, to

325
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas, who was the odd man out there. Now

326
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: that Antonio Brown is in town, goes to the Jets,

327
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: so I guess are looking for depth. There's someone's hurt

328
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: that we don't know about yet. I don't know that

329
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: he could just I mean, it's a sixth round pick,

330
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: like one year after Adam Gates gets fired. So it's

331
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: not a huge feeling pretty good about yourself. I'm not.

332
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it is rattling, rattling cages, rattling cages.

333
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to Monday Night football. Uh. Yes,

334
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders Broncos. No answer for this was just John

335
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: Gruden's ideal game. He's all about completions, short completions, getting

336
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: rid of the ball, being decisive. Derek Carr had one

337
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: of his best games in years in Gruden like, this

338
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: is exactly what God wants to do, ball control with passing,

339
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: and they're You're right. They didn't really have much of

340
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: an answer for it. This Raiders team, I really do

341
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: believe is different than a year ago, even without Antonio Brown.

342
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: I just think they've upgraded their talent to a a

343
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: normal level where they that was not the case a

344
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: year ago. And I think you saw Mike my X

345
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: draft class be a factor, and I just think they're

346
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a competitive team this year Font's perfect, like

347
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: a lot of their pickups had a big impact in

348
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: this game. I thought it was telling the way that

349
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: they from the very beginning used Josh Jacobs, who we

350
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: didn't really see on Hard Knocks that much and at all. Right,

351
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: so he twenty three carries. The rest of the team

352
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: outside of car had three, DeAndre Washington and Jalm Richard,

353
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: So that is, you know, if you picked him up

354
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: on Fantasy, good for you. I forget all that the numbers,

355
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: And I thought, Derek Carr, who gets we we give

356
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: him lots of compliments on this show, but I don't

357
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: think that he's accepted as a premier quarterback by most.

358
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: He had one of those games. And they mentioned a

359
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: rich Gannon game that happened in the early two thousands

360
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: of the year they went to the Super Bowl, where

361
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: Brian Greasy mentioned it because he was the Broncos quarterback.

362
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: I randomly was at that game when I lived in Denver,

363
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: and what occurred in that game with rich Gannon was

364
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: that I believe he broke the consecutive completions record. I

365
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: had a few in me along with my cohorts, but

366
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: it was like twenty one straight passes. So is that

367
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: kind of Raiders night because it had an old school feel.

368
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: And I feel for the Broncos fans because you walk

369
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: into a game like at and it's one of those

370
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: games where the entire and Dan I think you dealt

371
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: with this on Brown's Jets last year in primetime, almost

372
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: anyone that didn't have a super tight Denver rooting interest

373
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: kind of fell in line and wanted the Raiders to

374
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: sweep Denver up in this game and just drop him

375
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: with a hammer. And I enjoyed watching it. I've never

376
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: really been been a Raiders guy, but I could found

377
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: myself pulling so hard for them to win, and I

378
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: loved the game. My first note on this game was,

379
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: Raiders are flying around the field like the two thousand

380
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: thirteen Seahawks. Uh, definitely playing with more energy than a

381
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: normal game. How long does this last? And the last

382
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: the whole game? They they brought it the whole game.

383
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: The crowd brought it the whole game. This was exceptionally

384
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: well coached. Jimmy g was the only quarterback to get

385
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: rid of the ball faster on average than Derek Carr

386
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: did in Week one. Their offensive line was superb and

387
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: I've been killing that offensive line. They shoved it down

388
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: my throat. They're playing without their two starting guards and

389
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: still shut out that Denver front seven. I mean, what

390
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: else do you need to know than the drive? In

391
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: the second order, Oakland takes over at the five. I

392
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: believe they get two false start penalties or two penalties

393
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: takes them back to the one and a half or

394
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: two yard line, and then they just march straight down

395
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: the field for a touchdown. And yes, kudos to the

396
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: game plan. Get the ball out of Car's hands quickly

397
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: to to you know, negate the pad or neutralize the

398
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: past rush with Von Miller and Bradley Chubb. But if

399
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: I'm John Elway and they showed l I don't know

400
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: if you guys caught the final minutes of the game

401
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: camera right in Elway's face on the sideline and then

402
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: he did not like it on him. But if I'm lay,

403
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here scratching my head and I'm thinking I

404
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: can't get anything right. I got Joe Flacco, or get

405
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: to him in a second, who's not able to lift

406
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: the offense. I thought he would be the guy for me,

407
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: and then this defense. I bring in Faggio to be

408
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: the missing piece to take this defense to the next level,

409
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: and they can't beat up on the Raiders. I'd be

410
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: very concerned if I'm a Broncos fan. It's just one game.

411
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: The only thing that makes people out to be bigger fools,

412
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: uh than Week one is week too. So we'll see

413
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: how they look next week. But this was not a

414
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: promising in Fngio now has to go play the Bears

415
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: defense next week, which is an interesting time frame there.

416
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: And one little tiny note on Fongio and that I'm

417
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: done with this, Like the look I get. The coaches

418
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: have their own um style and they want to wear

419
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: what they want to wear, and Fongio wants to be

420
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: flexible and comfortable and have you know, free reign of

421
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: body motion during the game. But the sweatshirt with this

422
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: gigantic sort of um Batman and Robin esque, you tell

423
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: utility belt. I don't know what's in all the little

424
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: pockets taste back to the early nineties. Andy Reid is

425
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: employed that at times, but it's it's not We need

426
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: to rethink from the ground up the overall aesthetic that

427
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: that if you if you're gonna be winning, no one

428
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna embrace it. If you're gonna lose games, you

429
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: need to be looking sharp. Well you know what this

430
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: is though, we just talked about in a recent show

431
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: head coaches looking hotter than they're getting to the gym.

432
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: They're doing the facial hair, they have jawlines. Now, Uh,

433
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: they care what they look like on the sidelines. Faggio

434
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: is a throwback. I mean, he's a first year head

435
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: coach in the sixties, so he's a bit of a

436
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: throwback to a guy. It's like, I just want to

437
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm all, I'm built for comfort, not style. I want

438
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: to win football games. It didn't work out on my

439
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: day night clothing. I'm not talking. I'm not you're saying,

440
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: you're you. I'm not asking. I'm not asking him to

441
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: go exercise necessarily. But but we can do more. And

442
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: we've learned even in this room that if we up

443
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: our fashion game, things can change. Not all of us

444
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: know that, some of us I believe that fair. It's

445
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: fair to question Vic Fongio calling defensive plays from the

446
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: sideline when he's never done that in his entire career,

447
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: and at the vantage point in which he was calling

448
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: plays before, I think probably was an assist to him.

449
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: I think it's also fair to question why almost no

450
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: head coaches in NFL history have called defensive plays from

451
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: the sideline, because it's impossible to actually run your team

452
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: and worry about offense. He's saying, I'm just passing offense

453
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: off to old Skangs. Well, Skanking says doesn't have many

454
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: pelts on the wall either. He can he can, he

455
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: can call whatever he wants. I just think in general

456
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: that's problematic because what made fan Joe great, you're taking

457
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: that away and you can't really manage the whole team.

458
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: I actually didn't think the Broncos defense was that bad.

459
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: This was well, they were invisible. They couldn't make it.

460
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: I hear you, turnovers, no hits. Here's how many possessions

461
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders had. They had seven. The Broncos had eight,

462
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: and they either kicked a field goal or missed one

463
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: on six of them. Like they just didn't have the

464
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: ball that much. They moved the ball in the second half.

465
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: They think they look fine in the second half. They

466
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: kind of woke up from the preseason. You gotta be

467
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: better in the red zone. It was boring to watch,

468
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: but the difference between Flacco and car to me was

469
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: really big. Flacco in the first game in a new

470
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: system in Car. Now in the second year, you could

471
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: just see how much calmer and how quicker he was processed.

472
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: I mean, find me a number lower than zero to

473
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: describe Joe Flacco's Q rating during that game. I mean,

474
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: whenever he came on the fields, when I go, if

475
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: I have are things I need to go do, that's

476
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: when I go take care of Yeah, you you tweeted, well,

477
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: let's be ready for state of Flacco. Yeah, let's cue

478
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: up West for state of flac. Oh. Yeah, this was

479
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: a candidate for the team of West l here. Well,

480
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: it was uninspiring was the word I would use. And

481
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: if he plays like that all year, I don't care

482
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: about the one oh five passer rating. Dave Shawn Hamilton's

483
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: dropping an easy touchdown, his right tackle goes down, and

484
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: then it was at the very next play that the

485
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: stubstitute gives up a third down sack. So a lot

486
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: of things going against him, But uninspiring is the word

487
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: I would use. He held the ball too long in

488
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: the red zone. Uh, some of those sacks were his

489
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: own fault. Um. I thought that it was uninspiring. And

490
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: if he plays like that, all year, Lay and I

491
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: are both taking big els, especially since Elway they put

492
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: this big message on the board before the game. Lay quote,

493
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: our season rests on the shoulders of Joe Flack. I mean,

494
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is the Peyton Manning statue in the pocket,

495
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: the not at the actual good News West if the sheriff,

496
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: if Joe Flacco does flap flop, only one of you

497
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: probably gets fired. So well, we'll see we should else.

498
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Why do you throw them? Probably in there, my you

499
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: never know, take on wrong. It could go very wrong.

500
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: You never know what any like figure we need to

501
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: talk to you about. Here's state of Flacco right now.

502
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: I have a feeling I'm only gonna like watching this

503
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: team during home games, alright. Not a good road quarterback,

504
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: not a good thing. I don't think the Broncos have

505
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: played well on the road period in the last few years,

506
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: and I always fall for them in home games, and

507
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 1: that's my fault. All right. There you go those recap

508
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: the final Week one games. Let's now do some news.

509
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: Baker just literally just says, want one yard in row.

510
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna banging on you because you're big. I

511
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: don't know that's funny to me. I just think it's funny.

512
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: In fact, I wouldn't hear it again. We Bregy Binker

513
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: just literally just says, run of one yard in row.

514
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna banging on you because you're big. I

515
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: think he's talking about David N. Choke who, but he

516
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: could be talking about a variety of things, so he

517
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: is potentially talking about the tight end. Um. All right,

518
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: let's get to the news. Starting with Yes, the Jaguars,

519
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: who plays Nick Foles on injured reserve? He he can

520
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: still come back, but even that is uncertain at this point.

521
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville moves him uh to I R with that broken

522
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: left collar bone he suffered in the first quarter of

523
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Sunday's lost to the Chiefs. As we know, the only

524
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: other quarterback on the roster in Week one was Gardner Minshew,

525
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: the sixth round pick, who played quite well Simson and

526
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: even uh In in relief. But who knows if that's

527
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: going to continue. Unlikely to continue, let's be honest, So

528
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs also joins the fray. The Jags announced on

529
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: Monday they traded for the former Steelers back up Um,

530
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick. In goes back to Pittsburgh's or

531
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: dabs uh enters a depth chart behind Minshew. So the

532
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: job is Minshew's for the time being, uh considerably, Um,

533
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: you know a significant amount of time being Mark Sessler,

534
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm Gardner, Flint Minshew too. I am

535
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: not concerned about Josh Dobbs. Let's start right there. And

536
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: you know, we just got done talking about Derek Carr.

537
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew twenty two of twenty five with two touchdowns.

538
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: And I have never in my life had a backup

539
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: quarterback emerge out of the shadows where suddenly I don't know,

540
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: but you guys, I'm getting tweets about Minshew saying, you

541
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: guys don't understand. This dude has the it factor. He

542
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: lit it up in college. He was with Mike Leach

543
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: at Washington State. People that have been around him just

544
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: say they love him, and they and that the entire

545
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: Washington State team gathered together with Leech to find out

546
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: what was going on during this game. He is one

547
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: of these dudes the people like a pied piper figure

548
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: get behind. He's immediately become my second favorite player in

549
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I'm going to be drafting Jaguars games

550
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: very early on. Thursday, because I like the whole energy. No,

551
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: because facial hair comes and goes. It's about what's inside

552
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: the soul and what I think I see in him.

553
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: So let's start with there, and Josh Dobbs have a

554
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: nice time sitting on the pine over under a month before.

555
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: You're still picking Jaguars games as you're high on yourself.

556
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: All depends on what they do with Gardner Flintmanshoo too. Uh.

557
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: Doug Marone told Iron Eagle and Dan Foults the Beard

558
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: and the Bird to those of you out there who

559
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: still remember that, uh, that this guy can sling it.

560
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: There's no question about his arm strength. I think Fault

561
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: gave him a lot of credit for reading the blitz

562
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: is in that game. That's promising, and I thought it

563
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: was interesting he was going to transfer to be a

564
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: backup at Alabama because he wanted to be a graduate

565
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: assistant under Nick Saban. This guy's thinking ahead so that

566
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: he's that sort of quarterback that one. It's like, hey,

567
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: he's a coach on the field, which usually those guys

568
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: end up being coaches. Well you know, by the way,

569
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: ena being Kevin O'Connell or Greg mel fitthan Heisman Trophy

570
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: voting and the recipient if the Johnny United Scholden Arm Award,

571
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: which is given to older college players i e. Seniors. No,

572
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: but those guys usually don't come in and have the

573
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: first you know week in the NFL performance that he

574
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: that that performance should absolutely grab our attention and want

575
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: to see Foles is getting fuls. Wow. Henry Hodgson, the

576
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: vice president of International here at NFL Media, UH sent

577
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: me a tweet from a gentleman named Chris Kaufman. He

578
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 1: co hosted a Dolphins podcast and Uh, Kaufman throughout the question,

579
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: who does Gardner Minshew look like to you? And there's

580
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: a couple of good answers here. Um, he looks like

581
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: the mechanic that comes to the waiting room shaking his

582
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: head saying you need your engine to be completely rebuilt.

583
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: He looks like the dude that abandoned your sister after

584
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: he knocked her up, but he's back now, has a

585
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: great job with a cable company and really wants to

586
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: make things right. Uh. He looks like the tag along

587
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: brother of your best high school but after he got

588
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: out of community college. He does have that every man

589
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: look that you can get behind. And I think for

590
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: better worse, he sneaks up on you. They do expect

591
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: falls back. This case, he's snuck up on the Chiefs.

592
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: Maron believes they'll be back, maybe as early as week eleven.

593
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: That's that's the first week he's that's a long time. Yeah, well,

594
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: let's see where Doug Moron is by week eleven. I mean,

595
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: I I wish him well, but that's what that is.

596
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: You and miniche Meta are both on the same corner. No,

597
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: I've actually spoken. Doug Maron is one of the few

598
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: coaches that when I've approached him at a league event,

599
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: was actually nice to me versus trying to swap me

600
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: away like an insect fly into the air. He's three

601
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: times the size of you. He is a massive human.

602
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: Beginning of the i R bad news for the Eagles,

603
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: the fetes of tackle Malik Jackson expected to be a

604
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: placed on injured reserve after suffering a significant foot injury.

605
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: That's how the team termed it, and Sunday's opener against

606
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: the Redskins. UH decordinator Philly Jim Schwartz said, Yeah, we'll

607
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: probably be without him for a while. Malik is an

608
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: important part of what we do and we will certainly

609
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: miss him, so next man up. In all that, according

610
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: to NFL Network, Jackson has Liz Frank's surge coming up

611
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: next week and it is an injury that should wipe

612
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: out his entire season. Big setback was yeah, it is,

613
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: and because he's a good player, but not every team

614
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: has a Timmy Journ again sitting on the bench waiting

615
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: to jump right into the starting line. App and Jarnakin

616
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: had a big sack that would have knocked the Redskins

617
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: out of field goal range if not for a Derek

618
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: Barnett penalty in that game last week. They're a little

619
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: thinner though, I think on the defensive line in general

620
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: than they have been the last couple of years. There,

621
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: I would say that's definitely true at defensive end, and

622
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: now because of this injury, that's true at defense. That

623
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: game got a lot of attention because of the way

624
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: the Redskins jumped out early when no one expected it.

625
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: But if you go look at what happened when the

626
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: Eagles kind of got out of their own way, three

627
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: of their four drives in the second half went for

628
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: one zero in four yards. They totally shut the Redskins down. Um. Meanwhile,

629
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: at the dog Pound Cleveland Brown star O'Dell Beckham Jr.

630
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: Said he continued he plans to continue wearing the one

631
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: ninety thousand Richard Millie hundred ninety dollar Richard mill Millie.

632
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I read it was a three hundred

633
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars has been reappraised sin then time piece,

634
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: so watch that the league reached out to him about

635
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: and said, hey, bro, I don't know if you can

636
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: wear a watch on the field. He says, I want

637
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: to keep wearing it. I will keep wearing it, and

638
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: he added Tuesday that the NFL is singling him out.

639
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: Your girl, your woman, excuse me. Mark Mary kay Cabot

640
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: reported that Beckham said, today if Tom Brady was wearing

641
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: this watch, nobody would say anything. Tom Brady wouldn't be

642
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: wearing on h LL watch, keep your focus on the field,

643
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: and market has nothing to do with the Browns. This

644
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: guy's been driving me crazy for years, and this is

645
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: the type of stuff that drives me crazy. This feels

646
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: like it's pulled from a time machine, from a giant's

647
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: game from because he has been totally quiet and nothing

648
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: but a model citizen and not saying this makes you

649
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: not a bad citizen. But it's but we don't need

650
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: why does anyone needs? This is the tight rope that

651
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: being someone that comments on professional football walks when a

652
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: story like this comes out, and especially with Odell Beckham

653
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: getting paid. If you if you criticize, if you criticize

654
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham or a player for doing something this, you're you.

655
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 1: You are presented as someone from the establishments, someone who

656
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: doesn't get youth culture. But no, it's not that. It's

657
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: just like, this is stupid and you just got your

658
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: ass kicked in week one and you don't need to

659
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: make a story about yourself and certainly don't need to

660
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: be bringing up Tom Brady's name and saying that you

661
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: are somehow being singled out. It's just unnecessary. It's not

662
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: the end of the world. No, it doesn't matter in

663
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things. But this is the type

664
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: of stuff with Beckham that comes with the package, and

665
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: it's not always great. Am I The only one that

666
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: when I read this was like if I even owned

667
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: a watch, which I don't like, and it was that expensive.

668
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: Is the first thing I don't go do being an

669
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: athletic event where it's like getting scuffed by helmets and

670
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: like getting you know, smashed into dirt and grass, Like

671
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't need better be getting paid for it because

672
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: they are getting an exceptional amount of free advertising. I mean,

673
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: I assume he's getting paid for the would it would

674
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: only be I would only wear it if you could

675
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: knew you could get another free one. Uh, you know,

676
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: after Cameron Wake's helmet cracks it or whatever could happen.

677
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: Does that we're advertising it? How is it for? What

678
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: worth it? If the goal here is to get a

679
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: free watch? Is it worth just having to answer questions

680
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: from the media for a week straight straight? But I

681
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: just don't understand other watches. I didn't know there was

682
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: rules against wearing Who was Richard Millie? Why did you

683
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: say have to answer questions from the media. He's in

684
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: the spotlight, he's getting attention. Why would you wear I

685
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: don't know why you'd wear I don't just the whole thing.

686
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: It's I don't have time for. Antonio Brown came around,

687
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,479
Speaker 1: came along at this this new souped up Antonio Brown

688
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: in the last year or so, and blew Odell Beckham away.

689
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: I just worried about ob Obi j getting a little

690
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: like you know, jealous and be like, no, I'll show

691
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: you what it means to be a petulant wide I

692
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: mean watch petulants. He's just being trying to be stylish. There.

693
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: That's fair. That after me is the establishment. It's funny

694
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: because it's fun Hey, if you've got to talk about it,

695
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying, there is everything, everything is black

696
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: and white with this stuff. I don't think it's black

697
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: and white. I I do think that rich guys, and

698
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is one of them. The first thing they

699
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: do when they go to the meeting, like the Rich

700
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: Guy Club meeting, They're like, let's get super into watches.

701
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: Let's care about the differences between them, let's know everything

702
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: about watch culture, and let's just dive in. Where whereas

703
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: for twenty five years of our life we didn't care

704
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: about watching the other object. I know this from traveling

705
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: overseas to an area in Rome or somewhere Italy where

706
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: people were shopping NFL players men's um handbags that costs

707
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: like five dollars and thinking that we could help pay

708
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,959
Speaker 1: for it on our NFL stipend. No, I can't even

709
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: buy ice cream cone in Italy for how much it cost?

710
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: All right, speaking of Antonio Brown, Bill Belichick. All right,

711
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: here we go, boys, everybody, let's do this right. Bill

712
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,479
Speaker 1: Belichick ac spoke on Antonio Brown. He was asked about

713
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: it during a conference call um this week, and everyone's saying, well,

714
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: what this this Brown? This guy destroys locker rooms. He he,

715
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: He is petulant. He's a guy that you can't trust.

716
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: And what do you think about that? Bill, That's the

717
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: guy you bring into your locker room. That the same

718
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: thing you said about Randy Moss when we got brought

719
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: him in. So when asked if outside issues affect the

720
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: team's ability to win, there's no way for me to

721
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: know what's inside every person's mind. That's up to each

722
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: of us individually, but collectively we try to get ourselves

723
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: in the best physical, mental, and emotional state to go

724
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: out there and play as well as we can once

725
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: a week and so on and so forth. Um. I

726
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: do have we talked about a little bit on on Sunday.

727
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: Might have gotten lost in the everything else, but I

728
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: do have this this horrible, deep, um dark feeling within

729
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: my soul that this is gonna work out exquisitely to

730
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. At first, I was all in on

731
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: the idea of the Trojan horse and that Brown was

732
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna come in and do Brown things and destroy the

733
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: Patriots from within. No, he is going to be a

734
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: monster on the team that's going to win many, many,

735
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 1: many games. I I have no idea what's going to happen,

736
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: because it's football. What do you think and how could you?

737
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: What do you think the most likely uh outcome is here,

738
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: given the past history of this organization, which by the way,

739
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: is a testament to them, the most likely outcome is

740
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: this works out, Yeah, for a year and then that's

741
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: probably it. Whereas in Randy Moss, people forget kind of

742
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: wore out his welcome and was a pain in the

743
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: neck after three or four years, three years it wasn't

744
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: even the most rebellious wide receiver on his own team.

745
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: Jerry Porter was. But you know, Jerry Port, when we're

746
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: Belichick and we're gonna paint all the media as one

747
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: entity as if we're all lem Pascarelli answering for this

748
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: for for what it's worth. This was after this was

749
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: like the third follow up question, and in his answer

750
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: was the least surprising thing ever. And I believe it

751
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: to be true that Okay, there is a calculus. I'm

752
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: only gonna take on so many of these guys. But

753
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: he said ultimately late he's not worried about what happened

754
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: in other locker rooms. That he's worried about if if

755
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: someone works hard and if someone has a good you

756
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: know added you know, works hard at their craft. That

757
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: was Randy Moss's problem. Randy Most admitted to trying so

758
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: little that he got himself out of the Raiders. He

759
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: also said, I would like to you know back then

760
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: he was. He basically admitted, I'm trying to get out

761
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: of there, and he kind of just put it in

762
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: a half effort for half a season and eventually they listen.

763
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they're worried about effort when it comes

764
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: to Brown. I think they're just confident that they have

765
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: the structure that it'll be fine, and if it's not,

766
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: that they can just cut them. And by the way,

767
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, why shouldn't Belichick have complete confidence that that

768
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: is the case, because it's like they are the one

769
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: team that has proven they can get players accountable and

770
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: wired them a certain way. And in West I'm sorry,

771
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: but I also don't care what Belichick thinks about the

772
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: media because the way the Patriots are treated in certain ways,

773
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: they are treated differently. That Belichick could shrug off the

774
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: entire media as one balloons sing king over the sea,

775
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: and I just don't have a big problem with it.

776
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't think his job is to give a crap

777
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,399
Speaker 1: about the media at all. Can I just point out

778
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: that Belichick is lying through his teeth about what he

779
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: says he doesn't care about what happens in other locker rooms.

780
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: That is true only if you are in all pro

781
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: caliber talent, then he doesn't care what happens in other

782
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: locker rooms. But for all the other player he scouts

783
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: and does his due diligence on, he does care about

784
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: what happens. And of course I mean he. I think

785
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: he learned this lesson early on with Lawrence Taylor, who

786
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: maybe shaped his career more than anyone. If there was

787
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: a guy who broke more team rules and norms of

788
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: what you would expect your player to do in terms

789
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: of professionalism, it was Lawrence Taylor. And you know what,

790
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: they bent over backwards to basically allow his drug abuse

791
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: try to work with him, um because they believed in

792
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: him as a player. It was just that's just the reality.

793
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: They liked it. They liked the person too. I mean,

794
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: it was tricky, but Lawrence Taylor wasn't just simply the

795
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: football player was the part. I mean, the idea of

796
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: that you have different rules for different players, especially exceptional players,

797
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: the idea that that's not the true on every team

798
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Phil Jackson during his time with the Bulls.

799
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: I just read this the other day. Dennis Robin, who

800
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: was as uncontrollable a figure as there was in the

801
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: NBA in that era, certainly, um he had different rules

802
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: for rodn and for different personalities, to the point where

803
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: he would be fine with Dennis Robin going to Vegas

804
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: and going on and all night bender U during the

805
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: NBA Finals, just make sure you're back here for the game,

806
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: because he thought in Dennis and Dennis Rodman's mindset that

807
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: that would make him a better player. And the fear again,

808
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: the fear, because that's what's the worst thing about this

809
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: for me, is that the Patriots are gonna get better.

810
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: Is that Belichick intrinsically understands this, and Lawrence Taylor is

811
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: a perfect example. Belichick was on that staff and he'll

812
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: know the right buttons to push with Antonio Brown in

813
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: the way that Mike Mayock and John Gruden did not. Well.

814
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: To take your comparison one step further, the only reason

815
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 1: that Phil Jackson Dennis Robin dynamic worked was because Michael

816
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: Jordan was there to instill order and keep keep a

817
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: tight lid on Dennis Robmin just like Tom Brady is

818
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: there in New England. Sure An Brown and taken selfies together.

819
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: And I think the time aspect is crucial because I

820
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are are fine managing with these guys

821
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: who are a little different than the rest of the

822
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: team for a shorter amount of time, and then they

823
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: increasingly think, okay, that's the expiration date. They We did

824
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: find out he has a second year on his contract,

825
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: which is up to New England if they want to

826
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: have the option. But even a guy like Chandler Jones,

827
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: who was the last guy um who got in any

828
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 1: real you know, like had any issues with teammates or anything,

829
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: there was sort of an expiration date with him because

830
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: he marched to the to the beat of his own drummer.

831
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: And and then they get rid of you. All right,

832
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news, all right, Before we

833
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: turn all our energy toward week two and beyond. Let's

834
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: uh take one look, one more look back at week

835
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: one with a little by hold cell or is it

836
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: by cell hold? I think it's by cell hole, the

837
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: hold being the third typically the third option, I would

838
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: imagine all the middle. It's like the porridge in the middle.

839
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, but am I wrong? I feel like, yeah,

840
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: it's exactly understand Well, we've renamed it to something else. Okay,

841
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: all right, wind Loser draw after week one, buy cell hold?

842
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: Remember that game show? Yes? Yes, well I mean not.

843
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: Isn't it functionally in our life? Day after dating? I

844
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: do remember? Was it was it? Like? Remember that was

845
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: like when you had the home version. Got a couple

846
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: of b listers in there? All right, Bert Reynolds pre

847
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: Boogie Nights might have popped up in a wind Loser draw.

848
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, pre Boogie Nights. Here we go post

849
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,959
Speaker 1: smoking the bandit pre Boogie Nights, very dark period for Bert.

850
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: It's big window there. All right, Here we go by

851
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: by cell hold. Greg will start with you. I'll throw

852
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: a bunch out. Um. We talked this out before the show,

853
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: So I'll just tee you guys up and then you

854
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: let me know by cell Hold will start with Greg

855
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. Concern for Jimmy Garoppolo after a week one performance.

856
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm buying concern if that's what I am concerned until

857
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: proven otherwise. And it's the first game and he's coming

858
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: back from a tour and a c L. It was

859
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: telling to me they I mean they ran more runs

860
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: then passes in that game. There's an ugly pick six.

861
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: He missed a lot. I would say I think he

862
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: probably I would say he had probably one of the

863
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: four or five I guess. I haven't watched every game,

864
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: but he was probably one of the worst performances by

865
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback last week. And the bigger issue is, to me,

866
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, some guys they have good games, bad games,

867
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: But you see what you used to see from Jimmy G.

868
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: Or you know you certainly saw from Baker Mayfield. Still

869
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 1: five incredible throws in that game, including in the second half.

870
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: I just had I haven't seen those throws from Jimmy

871
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: G in a while, and I want you and you

872
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: definitely didn't see any of them on Sunday against Tampa.

873
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to get hit. Notice this in the

874
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: preseason noticed this in the game against the Buccaneers, where

875
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: he's turning his back after he throws the pass immediately

876
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to get hit because he doesn't trust

877
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: his knee. I imagine um, and I think that throughout

878
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: his career in the limited sample size we have, he's

879
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,479
Speaker 1: an above average quarterback between the twenties and a blow

880
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: average quarterback in the red zone. And he's got to

881
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: fix his red zone issues. I mean, he's also twenty seven,

882
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 1: about to turn twenty eight, so there's only so many

883
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: more years toixed. This is a very important year for

884
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: James Garoppolo alright, West Cowboys as a dominant offensive force.

885
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: By cell Hold, I am buying this. They are drastically different.

886
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: The Texans are the only team that saw a bigger

887
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: increase than the roughly increase of offensive plays with shifts

888
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: and motion that kell him Moore uh used in Week

889
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: one compared to what Scott Linahan did last week. They

890
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: transformed their aw fence. They did not go through the run,

891
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: they went through the pass. They were extremely pass heavy

892
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: early on. There were huge tracks of land like watching

893
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: a Chiefs game. And it wasn't just because it was

894
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: a Giants defense is because the play caller, and because

895
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of weapons. Randall Cobb looks reborn,

896
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: throwing people around, running well after the catch. Michael Gallup

897
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: is in line for a breakout year. They love Blake Jarwin.

898
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman was saying that they think he might be

899
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: the most athletic guy on their offense. They have a

900
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: lot of weapons on this team, and I even think

901
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Devin Smith on their bench is being

902
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: under you. It informs why there was less panic around

903
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's situation because it's distinctly a different approach obviously.

904
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: And I look at Dak Prescott three full years at quarterback,

905
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: has never missed a game, twenty three twenty two and

906
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: twenty two touchdowns over three seasons. I wouldn't be surprised

907
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: if he hits forty. Wow. So we got the We

908
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: got the Cowboys as West's Super Bowl pick, which he's

909
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: loving right now. We got the Raiders back. I like

910
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: it of need when the big like kind of NFL. Well,

911
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: the Patriots were not part of that classic age, so

912
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: maybe they need to, you know, like a big, gigantic

913
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: come out of the sky. Land Dallas average twenty one

914
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: point four points per game. They could jump a full

915
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: seven points. There can't they wes. I think if you

916
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: are it limits your offense when you insist on going

917
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: to establish the run, established the run, established the run.

918
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: Great website, but maybe not a great that's a philosophy.

919
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: And twenty nine and and when you had the Cowboys defense,

920
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: I can see the temptation to do it. But when

921
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: you've got a mind like Kellen Moore. And we continue

922
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: to hear Dak Prescott after he has a perfect passer

923
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: rating the new opener says he's one of these geniuses

924
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: out there. You can next teammate. I think that really matters.

925
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: Mark Jamis Winston flipping the switch under Bruce arians by

926
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: cell Hold after a woful week one. I'm selling it

927
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: and it's it's I'm selling with like I'm selling low

928
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: because I don't know who's buying it at this point.

929
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: Because you I I get two years ago, you'd still

930
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: think that something can happen and there there can be

931
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: a switch to flip. I don't think there's a switch

932
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: on the wall and you're in the dark searching around

933
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,959
Speaker 1: for it. At this point, the guy turns the ball

934
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: over at anything all essentially everything but Blake Bordles levels

935
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: and and he's right there and Eli Manning too, and

936
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: you know he he he has not he has. He

937
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: leads the league with Cam Newton over the past three

938
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: or four seasons with three plus turnovers in a game,

939
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: which absolutely sabotages you. And you have to at this

940
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: point assume that he's going to do that three or

941
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: four times a year that you're gonna lose if you

942
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: hope to go ten and six. Three of those losses

943
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: and you're probably gonna wind up five and eleven instead

944
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: are because Jamis Winston cannot control what he's doing with

945
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: the ball, and the whole idea that because Bruce arians

946
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: was gonna come in and keep the yardage and the

947
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: electricity of that attack up, but rain In Winston and

948
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: creates smarter decisions in his mind. He goes out and

949
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: throws three interceptions against the Niners, and I feel like

950
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: they dropped a couple to where it could have been

951
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: more than three. So I you know, one game in

952
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: sell it, I'm holding I'm holding bro al right, Well,

953
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: you're that's a very concerned. I just think it's a

954
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: very I think it's it's too premature to write off

955
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: any quarterback. Yeah, I'll hold it. I mean, I haven't

956
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,280
Speaker 1: come this far. It would be news if you sold.

957
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: What you hit on Mark is interesting because they were

958
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: a lot less exploited. It was a bad It was

959
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: a terrible offensive game in general. He started the game

960
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,479
Speaker 1: until just missing throws. None of them look good. Any

961
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: concern Mark though, that you brought up that you had

962
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: to buy sell hold of the TNF the team playing

963
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: on TNF when we're about to have the TNF pre Yeah,

964
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: it kind of pulls the plug on Tom and side

965
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: make then. But then it's also an opportunity for more,

966
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, to skate, just to skate. Got plenty to

967
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: talk about, all right, Um, now you're gonna think that

968
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: this was me making the same mistake in a way

969
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: doubling up. But it's not because I want to talk

970
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 1: about it and get into in depth where we didn't

971
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: really have the opportunity during the game. Recap the Raiders

972
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: final season in Oakland. I'm buying man, you know I'm

973
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: buying the I'm buying Derek. You know I'm buying John Gruden.

974
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: I'm buying the dirt enfield. The last time we'll ever

975
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: see a dirt enfield. Potentially, I'm buying the black hole,

976
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: the real black hole, not the Fugaisi version that they're

977
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,280
Speaker 1: gonna try to foist upon us in in the desert

978
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: next year. And I just think it's not a big

979
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: enough story. How amazing these fans are that their team

980
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: is quitting them, and they're like, and I mean this

981
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: is in a positive They're like the unrequitted love. They're

982
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: like a golden retriever that they just still love their Raiders.

983
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: Then they love getting together with their friends and family

984
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: and dressing up like maniacs and going insane for their team.

985
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: Now week one, Monday Night football, the electricity is going

986
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: to be a higher level. We'll see how it looks

987
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: if they're you know, foreign seven and in a couple

988
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: of months. But there's also I would not rule out

989
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: in the final season in Oakland, based on what we

990
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: saw in Week one, that the whole city is just

991
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: gonna rally around this team and send them off, which

992
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: is really commendable for a fan base. I kind of

993
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: like Greg also during this this conversation you're having shifting

994
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: into what feels like a Raiders esque outfit. But you're

995
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: right and when they've they've been so deplorable for so long.

996
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't change the way that stadium is. It's an

997
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: event that they go to every week. It's not like

998
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: suddenly you're getting you were smirking my entire soliloquy there.

999
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: What the way they dressed? Have you considered they might

1000
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: just be fetishists? They're great fans. It's a crime the

1001
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: football from Oakland. Not only all that, everything you said

1002
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: it is true. I guess I'm holding because I think

1003
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna be an interesting seven eight win type of

1004
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: team that stays in the make. I don't know what

1005
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm buying here the fans. I'm buying all that. Let

1006
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: me where there's some nice moments. I think it was

1007
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: a potential for the Raiders being a really tough team

1008
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: in their building, which most people would not have expected

1009
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: this year. And I think they could hang around. I

1010
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: love it. I don't think they can play with that

1011
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: energy all year. But they earned a hold for me

1012
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: in that game. That was a very impassive West. That's

1013
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,959
Speaker 1: saying something, yes, I would I would have said chance

1014
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: for a sale before that game was there's a sliding

1015
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: door scenario where they lost that game for nothing. And

1016
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: I know they have the great I know they have

1017
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: the great history, but they've been worse than they've been

1018
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: as bad as the Browns or any franchise in the

1019
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: NFL the last two decades. And now and now you

1020
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,479
Speaker 1: had a move to it, which is the one which

1021
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: was the ace up to sleep Browns fans to two points.

1022
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: And I see all you mean girls on Twitter and

1023
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: the different snarky blogs all around. That just killed John

1024
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: Gruden forever, forever and ever. And I don't see any

1025
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: blogs throwing the guys some credit for having a hyper prepared,

1026
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: focused team whip up in Week one without their best

1027
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: player who tried to ruin the season. Let's give Gruner

1028
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: a little bit of credit for what they were able

1029
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: to do in Week one. But I hear you alright, Hayden,

1030
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor dragging Andy out of the Dalton scale. Bye,

1031
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: I've got to buy I'm feeling the weak one fever

1032
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: where we overreact that after all these years, Andy Dalton's

1033
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: gonna be I got the waters going to the super Bowl.

1034
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I'm at least into I've been

1035
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: into Zach Taylor all offseason. We're trying to raise this

1036
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 1: guy's CU rating. No one knows what he looks like.

1037
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: Let's hear it. Let's here for skinny uh five nine

1038
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: guys being head coaches in the NFL. I don't know.

1039
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he is. He looks like it when he's next

1040
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: to all the players that they were. They were not

1041
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: the Rams offense, by the way. It wasn't all the

1042
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 1: three wide receivers. There's tight end screens, there's a lot

1043
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: of things going on, there's vertical passes there by in

1044
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, man, he just looks so comfortable and decisive

1045
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: for that one game. And I know maybe they had

1046
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: a schematic advantage of Seattle and never seen them before that.

1047
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm at least if he can may John rossa thing.

1048
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping he can make Andy Dowton the thing.

1049
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm buying because I you know, watch

1050
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: that from end to end on Sunday and they changed

1051
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: my feeling about them. But Greg, I not to suggest

1052
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 1: that you were projecting here a little bit. Zach Taylor

1053
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 1: is six too. Yes, that shocking, I am. Some guys

1054
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: look shorter than they are. Some things don't need to

1055
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 1: be said, West, but we want to hear your opinion one. Well,

1056
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that offensive line is gonna be able

1057
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: to hold up for much longer, and I don't think

1058
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: the schemanic advantage that they had in Week one will stay.

1059
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: And John Ross's game was about as flukey as the

1060
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: receiver's game gets. How dare he was open more in

1061
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: that game than he was in entire career. But Thompson

1062
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: isn't gonna miss time a jump every time they have

1063
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: a sixty five yard bu But you're not gonna get

1064
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: a flee flicker wheel route every week for a long touch.

1065
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: His His speed, though, is game breaking speed, and he

1066
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: was open a lot. He dropped two passes, which is,

1067
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: you know, game breaking speed. The last two years too,

1068
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: no more green, and that offense didn't fall apart. It

1069
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: was impressive. I'm just saying I'm selling them as that's

1070
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: gonna be repeatables. Sammy Watkins long awaited breakout year by

1071
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: cell hold after a monster Week one, I'm buying that

1072
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: was as quick uh as he's looked in traffic and

1073
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: explosive after the catch as I've ever seen him since

1074
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: coming out of Clemson, when he was hyped as you know,

1075
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: the next great wide receiver. I think that probably for

1076
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: the past year and a half, he's had the most

1077
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 1: unfair advantage of any wide receiver in the NFL, playing

1078
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: with Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey, and Patrick Mahomes. And he

1079
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: he admitted that after the game that look, I was

1080
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: open for those two long plays because of Tyreek Hill,

1081
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: and then after Hill's injury, he was the chain moving

1082
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: number one receiver who who was still getting open and

1083
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: making plays after that. I think he's a transformed guy.

1084
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: He talked about finding balance in his life. They're traveling

1085
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: all over the world this offseason. He seems like a

1086
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: guy who came to camp ready for a huge year,

1087
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna have it. I mean, spent

1088
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: his year catching footballs from you know, jabronies in Buffalo

1089
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: to start his career. And at this point, I'll buy

1090
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: anything in Kansas City's offense. You could throw almost any

1091
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: scenario at me, I'll buy it. I'm selling. I mean,

1092
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: he's been on two of the total Greg Well, here's

1093
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: the thing. He's been on two of the great the

1094
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: best offenses in football the last two years, and he

1095
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: didn't gain more than six hundred yards in either season.

1096
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: So I've just seen him have these monster games here

1097
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: and there throughout his career. I want to see it more.

1098
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: Has two already. Uh, who's turn? Let sir, sure you

1099
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: could skip me if you want, it's your turn. That's

1100
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: what I thought. Mark Adam Gaze's quote unquote electric as

1101
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: Sam Donald put it a couple of weeks ago, Jets

1102
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: offense by sell Hold, I'm certainly not selling because they

1103
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: played a defense last week that I think we'll go

1104
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: down once again as one of the best in the league.

1105
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: And it's week one and you know, Donald just maybe

1106
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: someone that could have used out that you want to

1107
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: do this and throw him into the fire a couple

1108
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: more quarters in the preseason to get a little more

1109
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: on track. I think Gaze and I could be completely

1110
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: wrong about this is maybe one of these guys that

1111
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: keeps getting chances sort of the way Belichick did over

1112
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: and over by people because someone somewhere believes in him.

1113
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 1: He's almost like um, like one of these old painters

1114
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: that was a mad genius that had a patron, some

1115
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: sort of rich patron that would backed them and basically

1116
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: give them. You know, there's uh. There was a Flemish painter,

1117
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: Peter Peter Paul Rubens who had the Duke of Mantua

1118
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: that just paid him to do paintings forever and we

1119
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: never would know he was that this one guy didn't believe.

1120
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: And I think that maybe the Jets, you know, the

1121
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: Johnson family, saw something in Gaze that others don't and

1122
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: maybe it goes totally south. But I'm not out on Gaze.

1123
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm still buying on Gaze. I'm totally buying on Donald

1124
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: because the guy is like twenty three years old. I mean,

1125
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: it's there are other people coming into twenty two. There's

1126
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: other people coming into the lead. He get twenty four

1127
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: and not starting until twenty five or twenty six, and

1128
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: we've seen too much from Donald to like at this.

1129
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Donald some tough love here. I was

1130
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it on Thursday, but might as well

1131
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 1: do it here. Um. There were two times in his

1132
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: career so far where um, he really had a chance

1133
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: to play some hero ball. The first one was mentioned

1134
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: that Browns game in Week three last year where they

1135
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: got the ball back and the sky was falling, but

1136
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: it was too soon. He was he was a baby.

1137
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: Jeremy Bates was his offensive coordinator. Todd Bowls is prominently involved,

1138
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 1: gave momulligan on that and they weren't able to move

1139
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: the ball down field. They got the ball back down

1140
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: seventeen sixteen, uh with three minutes to play in their building,

1141
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: and they had no kicker, and they went and got

1142
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: fighting by the way today to replace Carrie of Dvick.

1143
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. But they had no kickers,

1144
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: so they were in a tough spot. But what I

1145
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: really wanted to see in that moment with some growth

1146
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: from Donald and for him to leave the Jets down

1147
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: the field and maybe steal that game back. The fact

1148
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: that he went two for seven and they turned it

1149
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: over essentially downs at the end of the game, UH

1150
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: was disappointing to me, and I that that annoys me.

1151
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just him. This team does need more

1152
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: time to gel uh. The offensive line did not play well,

1153
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: could not handle the Bills blitz uh and Gaze was

1154
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: killing the wide receivers this week in the media, h

1155
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson was getting some strays uh, not directly, but

1156
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: not running the right routes and not playing at his best. UM.

1157
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: But I just need I'm in hold territory dropped down

1158
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: from a hard buy to a hole, just because I

1159
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: was so disappointed by the way that offense tanked um

1160
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: when they had a chance to put that game way

1161
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: or take it at the end. Well, I'm surprised that

1162
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: you're that you're that you're in that place with them

1163
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: after that game. I mean, it's Donald, That's what I

1164
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: just didn't think it would change at all. I thought

1165
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: you'd give him another week because it's to me like

1166
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: that final drive was a mess and it kind of

1167
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: reminded me of the way I felt about Trabski after

1168
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: the opener last year against the against the Packers, where

1169
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: he couldn't seal the deal. But uh, well that's a concern.

1170
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: It is. I don't want a ceilings. I have a

1171
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: little not not that you're going to read the stand,

1172
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: but there's a little Brown's Jets Mayfield Donald summary in

1173
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: this week's on my reading it because I need to

1174
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: move on from well it's quite positive of Donald. Actually, okay,

1175
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: well then I'll read it. I'm not I think the

1176
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: game was The game was disenchanting, but like I how

1177
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: I could see also you being totally on fire a

1178
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: week from now, literally a week from now, after they

1179
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: beat the Browns on Monday Night football, and you'll be

1180
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: completely back in and acting like it's I'm I'm holding

1181
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: on the offense, but I'm selling on the Adam Gates

1182
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: press conference experience lasting long term in New York. We

1183
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: talked about this the second he was hiring that his

1184
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: the way he is behind the microphone, how frustrated he gets.

1185
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just gonna burn a lot of

1186
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: everything in New York energy and and I don't necessarily

1187
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 1: think he's slamming all of his players, but he's a

1188
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: lot more critical and just being honest about all of

1189
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: their mistakes without necessarily putting it all on himself. And

1190
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: the media eats that up, and at least some of

1191
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: the players are gonna eventually not like that. And it's

1192
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: just it's just a cauldron of of a lot that

1193
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: he needs to have some success early. But I do

1194
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: think there those tabloids have already caught fire with gas

1195
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: tears of happiness he's making. This isn't true. I've been saying,

1196
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: I love this cauldron of dude was swirling, you love it.

1197
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: I have been by his press conferences for a long time.

1198
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: You're you're you're masking your true feelings and rooting interests, analysis,

1199
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: and I see it all. Well, it's just greg of

1200
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: that certainly. Not all right, I'll throw out one more.

1201
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: I am selling on the Jaguars mattering in the a

1202
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: f C. I just I hate what happened. Yes, Gardner

1203
01:00:54,520 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Mishu doesn't matter um purpose. Everybody else can think that

1204
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna save the day. But you know, west history

1205
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: is instructive when you turn to a sixth round quarterback,

1206
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: if it's not Tom Brady as a rookie, give me

1207
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 1: the list of guys that have stepped in and turned

1208
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: into real starters on a week by week basis. And

1209
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm not selling entirely on the Jaguars defense, but I

1210
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: was just like so grossed out by their their performance

1211
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are the best offense in football, yes,

1212
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: but have a backbone in your building in Week one,

1213
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: I was just annoyed. I'm annoyed at their defense for

1214
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: playing so poorly in that spot. And now you what

1215
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: you're asking the Jaguars to do to be relevant? Uh

1216
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: in and and bridge the gap and get back to

1217
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: Nick Foles potentially in decent shape. Around five hundred, Let's

1218
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: say the Jaguars have to be the Jaguars of old,

1219
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: and they didn't look at anything close to it in

1220
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: Week one. So I'm just gonna say, put the bad

1221
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: quarterback situation with the defense that might be overrated, and

1222
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: this has got six and ten written all over it.

1223
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: I thought someone that who you know, who had bet

1224
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: full meals uh the performance of Chad Kelly would have

1225
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: a softer approach towards quarterbacks coming in from nowhere to perform. Well,

1226
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: he's different. I mean, that's swag. I would put a

1227
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: sandwich on Josh Dobbs making at least one start before

1228
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Fools comes back. I wouldn't take you on it because

1229
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: I agree, and I think that Minshew was impressive in relief.

1230
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: But it's a lot different than being in relief. Is

1231
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: a lot different than a defense preparing for you to

1232
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: start a game, and it's not always going to be

1233
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs defense that had no pass. I am

1234
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: entirely in all right, All right, here we go, good talk, guys,

1235
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: go get my lunch dot organic four tier. Let's now

1236
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 1: do a quick two minute drill. That's that's the name

1237
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: of like a podcast segment that no one's come up

1238
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 1: with yet. So we'll call it the two minute drill.

1239
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: Bucks Panthers, Thursday Night Football, September twelve pm Pacific, eight

1240
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: pm a twenty eastern. Figure it out if you're in

1241
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: England and the surrounding territories not owned by England, especially

1242
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 1: not high and you've got access to the anyway, here

1243
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: we go. Jameis Winson coming off that three and I'm

1244
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: starting the clock, Ricky Jamis Winston coming off that three

1245
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: interception debut. Now heads to Charlotte to face the Panthers.

1246
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,479
Speaker 1: To oh and one team's Greg Rosenthal. Uh, someone's gonna

1247
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: come out of this in a really bad way. You

1248
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: feel good about the Panthers, that's my prediction. Yeah, I do.

1249
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: I do think the Bucks at least have the run

1250
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: defense with um Vita Vea and William Golston and and

1251
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: Domikin Sue up front to maybe slowdine Christian McCaffrey, and

1252
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: I think that's probably job job one of any team

1253
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: trying to stop the Panthers. Bucks play calling had no

1254
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: rhythm with the quarterback, and part of that was how

1255
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: many penalties there were. But there was no rhythm to

1256
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: that passing game. Ronald Jones was perhaps the single most

1257
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: transformed player I saw in Week one. Last year, he

1258
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: was running in the labre a tar pits, as I

1259
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: texted Mark. This year, he's running through cornfields. You cannot

1260
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: arm tackle this guy, and Peyton Barber will be out

1261
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: of a job very soon. Ronald Jones looked fantastic in

1262
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Week one. If I'm Todd Bowls, I would treat this

1263
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: game the way that Belichick treated that first Super Bowl

1264
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: with the Rams way back in two thousand and one.

1265
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: I would just do everything in my power to remove

1266
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey from the game plan and just hang on

1267
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: tight and wait for Cam Newton to think mistakes. He is.

1268
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 1: He is the type of talent McCaffrey though, where you

1269
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: can't really take He's like Alvin Kamara in the sets

1270
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: that you can try because if you if you bone

1271
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: up to get on the run, they're gonna get him.

1272
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: In the past game, He's just such a talent, all right.

1273
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: But I'm comparing him to Marshall Fulk, who I think

1274
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: people would have said the same similar things about. Sure

1275
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks, though they don't have it, they might have

1276
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: the worst pass rush on paper of any team in

1277
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: the NFL. Their top two pastors are Karl Nasseb and

1278
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Shack Barrett. They had no pressure on San Francisco. They

1279
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: also gave up fewer yards in that game than any

1280
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Bucks game all of last season except for one. So

1281
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, who's used to not having many pass rushers,

1282
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, had a pretty good Week one, and I

1283
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: have I'm curious what this Panther's offense is gonna look like.

1284
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Still Desert likes the Panthers a lot by six plus one.

1285
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: Anybody at the Bucks dump the Panthers. No, that's two minutes.

1286
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: That's the two minute drill. Put a trademark on that.

1287
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: All right, that's it for today's show. We'll be back

1288
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: on late, you know, late Thursday. We'll have a recap

1289
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 1: of this game, and then we'll start digging into Week

1290
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: two and preview every game to come. We're in We're

1291
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: in it now, let's fly. Oh well, actually before wait

1292
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: and cut that a second? Uh program note, I believe Thursday,

1293

1311
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: for a nice viral clip of him with the hook.

1312
