1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: Wilson, pulled against the brain throws cart those Luke Wilson

2
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: for the touchdown, pulled into the touchdown. He beats Troy

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Hill going deep. Didn't feel getting free touchdowp fifty seven yards.

4
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: Sloppy NFC West clash that started strange and turned stranger

5
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: throughout the game. This is Chris Westling. I've got NFL

6
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: Networks Greg Rosenthal live from Seattle, fresh from the Seahawks

7
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: winning locker room, to start the Around the NFL podcast.

8
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: I am, I am so delighted that ye're starting the

9
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: show this week. I think we need to to make

10
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: it a weekly thing. Of course, you know we got

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 1: Dan hands Mark definitely and all the picks later. But yeah,

12
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: they sent me. They sent me to an ugly game.

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: This was a game that was annoying you, West I know,

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: as you were watching, I thought it was the death

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: of football for a while there. We had garish uniforms,

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: hideous end zone painting, uh sloppy football flags, challenges, no

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: rhythm in the game. It was just a bad football game. Yeah,

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you and it but it didn't look

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: that different than almost every Rams game. And the sad

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: part is, I think the way the Seahawks offense is

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: playing right now, like this is what Seahawks football is

22
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: going to be the rest of the year. I don't

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: think that that means that they're done for I think

24
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: they could get into the super Bowl with some ugly football.

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: But but to me, that was that was kind of

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: one of the stories that even though they won this

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: game in an in comfortable fashion, like you didn't leave

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: it feeling much better about their offense and Russell Wilson, really,

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: how much of that is is the Seahawks kind of

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: being out of rhythm, out of balance on offense, and

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: how much of that is that the Rams tend to

32
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: drag Seattle down into the muck and myer time they played.

33
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a big part. I think the Rams

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: are a huge part of it, you know. I I

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: in the postgame pressure that they basically gave a lot

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: of credit to the Rams for for making it a

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: little ugly and they were they were psyched, that they

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: were pumped. If that was one if there's one impression

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: I got from talking to some of the players, I

40
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: don't think winning five Street Division titles has grown old

41
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: at all. It was a celebratory atmosphere. Pete Carroll was

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: was jazz. He came over to Bobby Wagner at one

43
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: point when I was talking to Bobby Wagner, and they

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: had a really nice moment where you where you could

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: tell this stuff really means a lot for them. And

46
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: I think maybe that's Pete Carroll's kind of m o

47
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: to enjoy the moment a little bit. And and and

48
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: they were, and I think they were more focused that

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: their defensive team, and they put together, you know, uh,

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: defensive performance that we're used to seeing out of them.

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: We need to talk about the flat out bizarre fourth quarter,

52
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: starting with Michael ben taking center stage during the two

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: play sequence. You want to go over that real quick. Yeah,

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: that was that was insane. That was one of the

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: best sacks I think of the season. Gets him shot

56
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: out of a cannon, absolutely taking Jared goff lock off, uh,

57
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: and then celebrating with with the three thrusts. And I

58
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: don't know if you ever you probably haven't seen that

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: key and peel sketch. Oh, I've seen it, but it's

60
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: the third It's the third thrust that gets you penalized

61
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: in every time. That's exactly what happened. And Pete Carroll

62
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: after the game was kind of laughing, like he he

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to say anything, and he kind of thought

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: that was the case too, like you can get away

65
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: with one thrust, maybe two, but not three. Well then

66
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: the next play, the very next play, he hip tossed

67
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: tight end Tyler Higbee like a rag doll is how

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: you put it, And that's exactly how it happened. And

69
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: in the same sequence, a fraction of a second later,

70
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: he turned around and sort of clothesline Todd Gurley and

71
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: appeared to knock himself out as as he took Gurley down. Yeah,

72
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: it was that was a massive collision. And that to me,

73
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: these last two games, I know they got they got

74
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: waxed last week, but Bennett had a good game and

75
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: then this game he was awesome. And it's just a

76
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: reminder to me of Errol Thomas is Key and all.

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: But I really think Michael Bennett kind of v key. Um.

78
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I saw him after. I don't know what the concussion

79
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: tests were. He seemed he seemed okay. You know, he

80
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: was talking to some people. He didn't give a long,

81
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, spiel with the media. He didn't, But what's up?

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: He didn't did I know he's not a favorite of bands,

83
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: are really any of us for his actions after the

84
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl off? But no, he didn't talk about anyone

85
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: junk today. Immediately after the Bennett thing, it just got

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: weirder and weirder. Jared Goff was sent for concussion test

87
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: tests after Richard Sherman body rocked him at the end

88
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: of a fifteen yards scramble right in front of the pylon.

89
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Then John Ryan, the Seahawks punter up to any one

90
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: points with five minutes left in the game, takes off

91
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: on a fake punt, runs about a four or five

92
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: down the middle of the field, starts bobbling the ball

93
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the run, and he gets concussed. Yeah,

94
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: that was That was an ugly sequence all around, including

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: Carol getting caught kind of laughing on the silence. I

96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: don't know if he was laughing from the bobble or

97
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: just the fact that Ryan took off. I don't know

98
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: if there was a plan uh play or not. I

99
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: missed that part of the Carol presscup. But yeah, it

100
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: was ugly and for golf, Like, I think there's actually

101
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: a real point here. That's that's two straight weeks where

102
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: he has gotten absolutely clocked because he sort of hasn't

103
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: learned how to protect himself or get out of bounds

104
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: or get down and like you know, he who knows

105
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: if he's gonna play next week. Like that, it's not

106
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Ramps and this offense for

107
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: the Rams. I don't know how they can tell themselves

108
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: with any sort of confidence that they can evaluate Jared

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: Golf's progress when the offensive line is a turnstile, Todd

110
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Gurley is missing open creases at the line of scrimmage,

111
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: Rookie Michael Thomas dropped a touchdown bomb, and then Golf

112
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: himself missed a wide open Briant Quick in the end zone.

113
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: The inaptitude on this offense, I just don't think. I

114
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna have to wait till next year before

115
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: you can really evaluate year Golf. Yeah, yeah, you you

116
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: said it. I mean, it's the offensive coordinator, it's everything.

117
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the type of it's one of the

118
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: worst offenses we've seen. I guess there's always like one

119
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: each year. It reminds me a little bit of Alex

120
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: Smith in his rookie year. They ended up changing coaches.

121
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: He almost had to throw the whole thing out because

122
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: it's so bad. But it was one where, you know,

123
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: after the game, Frank Clark, you know, he was talking

124
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: about basically they were looking their chops. They knew this

125
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be feeding season in this game. They knew

126
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: he was a rookie quarterback. And I think they were

127
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: all jacked up. They were all jacked up for it

128
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: because they kind of knew they could get get after them. Well,

129
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: let's get out of here by saying congratulations to the

130
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,800

Speaker 1: this morning. He'll love that. And Uh, Connie Fox, thank

156
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: you for pinch hitting Rosie sitting to my right, which

157
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: just takes them getting used to. Uh. There are some

158
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: things you don't even realize that you you needed in

159
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: your life until they happen. One of them is watching

160
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: uh Colleen do a karaoke duet with a complete stranger

161
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: at a bar in West l A Uh singing, I

162
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: believe the Middle by Jimmy Eat World. Yep, that's right.

163
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: We went to a bar. This was right after our

164
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: holiday party. I made some friends, I made some enemies.

165
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: I think that it was a well rounded night. That

166
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: is the right way to put it. I do have video,

167
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: by the way, of this performance, and if if Connie

168
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: Fox signs off on it, I would love to tweet

169
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: it out. Sure, what about the gift? What about this

170
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: other gentleman in it? Is it? Does he need to

171
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: sign off? Or is it just he's going to be

172
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: the stranger? We don't know. Can we blur him out? Hey,

173
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: he was all dressed up. We might have to blur

174
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: out this man's face if we send out the the

175
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: tweet video of Colleen's karaoke performance, maybe just blur out

176
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: everybody's faces. Uh, this is the Thursday night preview show.

177
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,359
Speaker 1: Of course, a lot of football to talk about today,

178
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: and we're excited to have Colleen with us to do it.

179
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: A lot of games to get to and I think

180
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: it's the week fifteen preview, not the Thursday night preview. Okay,

181
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: m hm. Nice branding, nice corporal brandings. I'm used to it,

182
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: but now I've been brainwashed. After four years, Um, Mark,

183
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: are you doing over that? I am doing fun. I

184
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: have nothing more to add to that statement. You looked

185
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: like you were wanting me to but I thought you

186
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: had something to say. That's why I was throwing it

187
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: over your way. Oh good, How are you feeling Dan

188
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: with your button conundrum right now? I had an issue

189
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: with the button the buttons by the lapel of a

190
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: dress shirt. I've been wrestling with with over two decades

191
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: now whether I should put the buttons in the little

192
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: miniature buttons of the lapel. And we came down and

193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: not doing it before the show. Well, people actually can

194
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: see whether or not that was a good choice because

195
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: it's for our NFL network hit for the Pick Him Show.

196
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: Absolutely what you can watch three separate times on Saturday,

197
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: so make sure you check that. I wish I could

198
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: tell you the times eight thirty in the morning, PM

199
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: and one thirty in the morning. When you're all solved,

200
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: you have been brainwashed. Sorry, Corpo robo probab, You're not where.

201
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: You're a lanyard right now? All right, let's get to

202
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: the game. Uh, let's get to the games. I'll start

203
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: We like to go in order, so let's start with

204
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: the Saturday night football matchup between the Miami Dolphins and

205
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: my sad destitute New York Jets, a game that the

206
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins need. Let's face it, Uh, you just lost Ryan Tannehill.

207
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: You may get him back by the end of the season,

208
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: but that's the best case scenario. Right now, You're riding

209
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: and dying with Matt Moore of all people, Mark Sessler,

210
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: and you gotta take care of business against a bad

211
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: Jets team at the Meadow Ends. They obsolutely do I

212
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, on that NFL Network show, I picked the

213
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: Jets to win because I think something strange could just

214
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: you know, occur in this game. You're essentially you're looking

215
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: at a guy and Matt Moore that has not played

216
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: in about half a decade, five five years. He hasn't

217
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: taken a meaningful snap. That's long as time it is.

218
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: And you know, he had a chance to potentially seek

219
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: other jobs in the league too, maybe become a starter.

220
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: There were options out there, and he chose not to.

221
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: So I'll make three million dollars a year to do

222
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: nothing and live in South Beach with my family. It's

223
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: not a terrible overall decision in life. Maybe as a

224
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: do you want him to be hungry as a football player.

225
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't know there's a name for that. Yes it is,

226
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: you're right, go ahead, part guy. I just you know,

227
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: watching the Dolphins last week and that game against the

228
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: Cardinals occurred in this I think I don't think I've

229
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: seen a game this year that was more disrupted by

230
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: weather than the intense rainfall that caused all sorts of

231
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: issues in that game, but one thing that was intact,

232
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: and it happened a couple of times, and we've seen

233
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: it almost every week with Ryan Tannehill. I don't think

234
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: when you lose Ryan Tannehill, it's the same as losing

235
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: other top starting quarterbacks. I don't know how much the

236
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: offense falls off, but it does. In terms of his athleticism.

237
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: There are two or three key first downs a game

238
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: where he scampers for that. I don't know what you

239
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: get with Matt More. I don't think the Dolphins know

240
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: what you get with Matt More this week. He's definitely

241
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: not as mobile as Tannehill. And then when you have

242
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: Mike Pounty out along with Brandon Albert who's not really

243
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: playing one, I don't think you have a guy in

244
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: Matt Moore who we just said hasn't taken a meaningful

245
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: snap in five years. And then Anthony Steen, who's going

246
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: to be in for Mike Pouncy, who has just seven

247
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: career starts. That's a terrible combination. This again is a

248
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: golden opportunity for the Dolphins, and it's never Jets Dolphins.

249
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of a dormant rivalry, but the team's always

250
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: play each other close no matter where they are. And

251
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: right now the Dolphins are sitting at the number seven

252
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: seed in the a f C. They lose the tiebreaker

253
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: currently with the Broncos on strength of victory. However, while Jet,

254
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: while the Dolphins get the four and nine Jets, the

255
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: Broncos got to play the Pats. So there's a very

256
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: good chance if everything goes to how what a lot

257
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: of people predict, it will be the Dolphins in and

258
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos out going into Week sixteen, and wow, that

259
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: would be crazy. Do you have a feel right now

260
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: for whether the Jets will show up in a given

261
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: week or not? I thought, you know what, it's a

262
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: really good question. I thought it was very interesting to

263
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: see them get destroyed in that Monday night game and

264
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: then get embarrassed in the first quarter against the forty

265
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: niners and then come back and not and not quit.

266
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was a really good sign. I think

267
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: it might have saved todd balls job, to be honest.

268
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: So I think you're right. I mean, I think this

269
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: will be a close game potentially, but I do think

270
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: that the Jets bright Petty will struggle. They are missing

271
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: pieces on the offensive line. The left tackle Ryan Claydy's history,

272
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: uh Nick Mangolds out for the year now they're shuffling

273
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: deck chairs on the Titanic. I think that's bad news.

274
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: With Petty, who's still a guys trying to learn how

275
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: to make progressions, and a good Miami pass rush. Yeah.

276
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: I thought the defensive line for Miami played really well

277
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: last week against Arizona, and Arizona does not have a

278
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: strong offensive line, but as you mentioned, the Jets are

279
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: missing some key names up front. I don't think this

280
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: is the offensive line they had earlier in the year,

281
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: so so this will be definitely advantageous for Miami. I

282
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: think also one last thing you know, with Jay g

283
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: I you want to be able to run the ball

284
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: and the Jets, which we've talked about all offseason and

285
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: early this year, the run defense was as oversize, very solid.

286
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: It's not been the case of late. You know, if

287
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: you're Miami, you also have the Patriots in week seventeen,

288
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: So you can't let the same slip away game Miami, UH,

289
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: go against your worst tendency is in the last decade

290
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: or so. Let's move on. UH. Talk about the Green

291
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: Bay Packers now seven and six six uh playing very

292
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: well traveling to Chicago to face the Bears. UM. Interesting story, UM,

293
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: Chris Westling. James Starks is in the concussion protocol uh

294
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: for the Packers after Stuffering being his involved in a

295
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: car accident on Monday. So I don't know what's going

296
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: on with James Starks. But with Aaron Rodgers playing the

297
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: way he is, that might not be a big issue

298
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah. I hope James Starks is just fine

299
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: and dandy healthwise. But this is a good thing for

300
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: the Packers offense to have less James Starks on the field.

301
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: He's averaging about two point three yards per carry this

302
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: year and looks even slower than that when you watch

303
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: him play. Uh, they should get time. Montgomery heavily involved.

304
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: Kristen Michael still struggles sometimes on adjustments, for plays that

305
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: are called at the line of scrimmage audibles. So I

306
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: don't know if we're going to see a ton of

307
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: him yet, but I kind of do. You guys see

308
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: this as I hate the word trap game, It's the NFL,

309
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: so expect the unexpected. You've got Jordan Howard rolling al

310
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey back this week from suspension. Matt Barkley's frisky

311
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't know it, but the Bears have the

312
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: seventh ranked defense in total defense this season, and it's

313
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a freezing game. I think it's going to

314
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: be in the single digits. Plus you have Aaron Rodgers

315
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: with the calf injury, coming off a hamstring injury. We've

316
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: saw him two years ago. His mobility was hurt from

317
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: I think it was a calf that was um but

318
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't as mobile in that game, but he was

319
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: still pretty effective. Plus he's got Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams,

320
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: who are the most effective wide receiver wide receiver duo

321
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: in the league right now. They have the most touchdowns

322
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy talked about time Montgomery receiver turn running

323
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: back plane if they needed to up to twenty taking

324
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: up the twenty areas. And I you know, but Starks

325
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: didn't even really play a big role last week and

326
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: he's he's been he's faded out of the picture. I

327
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to call this a trap

328
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: game on Tuesday. We just put the Packers as a

329
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: top three team that we trust to go right to

330
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. If they're gonna turn around and flop

331
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: against the Bears, I think everything I said on Tuesday

332
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: feels like a total math. Here's the one thing. I'm

333
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: with you on that, Mark. But the weather, that's that's

334
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: a subplot to track across the league this weekend. Uh

335
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: in the road, I mean's it is a Arctic front, bro,

336
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: I mean that's just bad for humans. I don't know

337
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: what that doesn't mean. You know, it's gonna be thirty

338
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: seven and with some wind. It is supposed to be

339
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: in some of these cities single single digits. It's the

340
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: great equalizer and it is. Yeah, that's what they say

341
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: about weather, and I think it could rereak havoc on

342
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: some of these games. And I don't have to worry

343
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: about this because I didn't make my fantasy playoffs, but

344
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: all you people that have a stacked, loaded fantasy team

345
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: and you're confident about this weekend, be careful of the weather.

346
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: You could get banged. You could it. There is so

347
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: hard to predict in fantasy though. I remember there was

348
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: a game Patriots Cardinals in New England out. Yeah, everybody

349
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: was sitting Tom Brady or something. He went off for

350
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: like four hundred yards and four td s in the snow.

351
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: But these are two teams that are used to it.

352
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: You think Green Bay. But you get to a point

353
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: where if the temperature is so low, no human is

354
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: needs needs to be dealing with that. I have one

355
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: solution for all these fantasy playoffs getting blown up in

356
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: in late December. Well, no, honestly, to the corner. Let's

357
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: take it out to the corner. If you want to

358
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: walk right out this door A right here he goes,

359
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: still walking through the door. It's a long hallway to

360
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: that corner. It's actually almost the coldest second the door. Yeah,

361
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: turning the handle on the doorway, there's old Mr Jenkinson.

362
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: The doors locked. I think it's you know, I want

363
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: to open it. When I feel like opening it, I will,

364
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: do you have the right key here? I am, here's

365
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: my solution. Look at us. We didn't know Tom Brady

366
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: was going to be in a cold weather game, and

367
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: we scored fifty point. Have the playoffs begin after a

368
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: curt a sensibly curtailed seven week fantasy season, and you

369
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: get teams in the middle of the year on play

370
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: not as many players are injured. Fantasy playoffs run through

371
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: week ten and we close shop. I would be in

372
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: that league with you. I wouldn't even be in that league,

373
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: but I think it would be better for you know

374
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: every in retrospect a minor miracle. I got marked to

375
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: be co manager of our fantasy team for like four straight,

376
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: five straight years before you finally said I won't do

377
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: it anymore. Well, I mean I don't think I did

378
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: a shred. I didn't conduct a shred of business. After

379
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: a year one or two of that, I thought you

380
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: held back the enterprise a little bit. It's possible, all right,

381
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: let's step off the corner and move on. And that's

382
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: the other thing. Much shorter trip back indoor. If it's

383
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: five degrees out for this game, I'm nervous about Aaron

384
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers's calf. Let's keep an eye on that. How he's

385
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: moving in this game. Moving on to oh, we're knocking

386
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: out all the great games here the Cleveland Browns oh

387
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: and thirteen traveling to Buffalo to face the Bills. Mark Sessler, Uh,

388
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: it was on. I believe Tuesday was the one year

389
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: anniversary of Cleveland's last victory, which, believe or not, Johnny

390
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 1: Menzel was the quarterback. I feel like Johnny Manzele was

391
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: out of the picture of three years ago, but he

392
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: was actually the quarterback in December of last year. Uh

393
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: So you've long said for several weeks now that uh

394
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: they will get a win, will be this week in

395
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. No, it will not. Um. I think this

396
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: is if you look at the matchup. Every matchup is

397
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: bad for Cleveland, but this specifically Looms, I think is

398
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: a rough one. They can't stop the run, and you've

399
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: got the Bills who they're going to want to get

400
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: back on the ground and be able to destroy you.

401
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: I also, I completely one of these people that are

402
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: against this whole Let's start r G three down the

403
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: final three weeks to the season. I'll tell you right

404
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: now why. Because you want to see a young guy

405
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: like Corey Coleman had the best chance to close the

406
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: year with some progress after a lot of injuries. Watching

407
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: what they'd suffering through that Brown's Bengals game, after they

408
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: did get a little better in the second half, I

409
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: thought Cleveland specifically with RG three over the last over

410
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: his two starts, he has targeted Terrell Prior and Corey

411
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: Coleman twenty six times with nine completions. He there is

412
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: no middle of the field passing game with RG three

413
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: because all he does is, you know, satellite out to

414
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: the sideline, get out of the pocket, and then you know,

415
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: just before running out of bounds with an eight yard loss,

416
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: look down field and just throw it somewhere. And it's

417
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: it's sloppy quarterback play from r G three. I'm not

418
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: impressed with what they did. I honestly don't think you

419
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: start them. The Bills are the Bills. I look at

420
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: their their season is essentially over, but they are They

421
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: still I think have enough pride to say we are

422
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: not gonna get touched at home by this team. They're

423
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna take care of business. Well, it stakes to see

424
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior not being used the way that we've seen

425
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: him being used, especially if you are in your fantasy

426
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: playoffs and you do have him, But the fact that

427
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: he was seeing yelling at RG three on the sideline.

428
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: RG three had no rhythm whatsoever this game, any game,

429
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: and the weather just exacerbated it. The Browns have so

430
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: much work to do, and I think we're all in

431
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: the r G three is not part of the solution

432
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: there in the short term. The long term. Neither is

433
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: Josh McCown for that matter. Uh And if Cody Kestler

434
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: is not healthy or what, I don't know, but it

435
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: just seems like a waste of time. Isn't there some

436
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: kind of like bumper sticker manufacturer that needs a slogan

437
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: hear like r G three give up football and just

438
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: go make bumper stickers. Do you think he'll be on

439
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: the team next year, Mark, I do not, But I

440
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: that that's me projecting what I want. I they've they've

441
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: gone against my expectations with r G three from I

442
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: never thought he was a good addition when a fair

443
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: amount of money. Dude, it's not crazy for a team

444
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: that needs to spend millions to get to the you know,

445
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: the cast floor. Will Tyrod Taylor be on the team

446
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: next year the Bills, It's a very good question. I

447
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: think I thought it was Okay, I better go ahead

448
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: answer it. West. I thought he was safe until Rex

449
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: Ryan waffled on whether he's even starting in week fifteen.

450
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: And if you don't even know until you look at

451
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: the game film, where you whether you want to keep

452
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: this guy's your starter? Are you really going to pick

453
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: up a twenty seven point five million dollar option on him?

454
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: And you have to wonder if a if Rex Ryan

455
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: will be there next year or if Rex Ryan's bizarre

456
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: public almost shaming of Tyrod Taylor where it's like, I'm

457
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: not I refused to call this guy an actual starter

458
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: for us going forward. That's probably not playing well with

459
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: some of the people around him. The possible something's cooking

460
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: behind the scenes with Tyrod Taylor too. This seems I

461
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: don't know that the tide has turned against him in

462
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: a very strong way. I feel like Doug Whalley is

463
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: never sold on Tyrod Taylor or really any quarterback that

464
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: they have there. I agree and Doug Whalley. I remember

465
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: when Tyrod Taylor had the m c L spring last

466
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: year and Ian Rappaport came out with a report saying

467
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: that E. J. Manual has a chance to keep the job.

468
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: That floored me. At the time. But it also told

469
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: me that somebody in this front office, somebody important likes EJ.

470
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: Manual more than Tyrod. It could be the person that

471
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: drafted him and somehow retained his job after making that

472
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: draft pick. I think card L. Jones could be making

473
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: starts by the end of the season. That would be

474
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: my prediction. I think so okay, I think they want

475
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: to get a look at him. So actually, if they

476
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: somehow lost of the Browns forget it, I think Tyrod

477
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Tiller might make his last start as their offensive coordinar.

478
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynne just said recently that Cardale Jones is the

479
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: kind of guy you want waiting on the runway. What

480
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: does that? What does that mean? He's ready to developed

481
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: mental slot at quarterback, ready to go when you realize

482
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: that your first two guys in a depth chart aren't

483
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: good enough. I thought it was like a romantic comedy.

484
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: It seemed romantic, like a homecoming of sorts. It's like

485
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: the ending of Casablanca. It's like when Ross comes back

486
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: from China. Casablanca has always mentioned on this show Casablanca

487
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: friends very you know, the references are very up to date,

488
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: one of which is quality. Yes, you're right, friends a

489
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: swimmer Anniston, Uh love saga for the hemispheres. Swimmer is

490
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: not palatable. Let's move on. The Philadelphia Eagles are not

491
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: palatable right now. Five and eight. Uh. They traveled now

492
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: to Baltimore. Another tough spot if you're your team that's

493
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: basically playing out the string now like the Eagles, and

494
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: you have to go on the road, Connie, to face

495
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: a team that's desperate for a win that the Ravens aren't.

496
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: Seven and six, it's probably not a good sign. Probably

497
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: not good at all. No, the Eagles, they've lost eight

498
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: of their last ten. They actually only have one road

499
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: win this season, and that I think I believe that

500
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: was their first road game that they played all year.

501
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: You have just the Ravens defense. They struggled last week

502
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, and really did so after Jimmy Smith

503
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: went out. That's when Tom Brady really just let loose

504
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: and started lighting it up. But I wouldn't be terribly

505
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: worried if Jimmy Smith wasn't able to go in this

506
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: game because the Eagles wide receivers aren't exactly frightening, and

507
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco his last six games, he's completing sevent his

508
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: passes and he has twelve touchdowns to six interceptions. That's

509
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: in stark contrast to the way that he started the season. Well,

510
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question, what did you see?

511
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: I thought Flacco played a kind of interesting game on

512
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: Monday nights. Sometimes he looked like a guy who would

513
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: love to have my team. Other times he frustrated with

514
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: some of the check downs. What did you think of

515
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: his performance against the Patriots? Though he was terrible, there's

516
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of dink and dunk. Yeah, I thought he's

517
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: the only reason they scored two touchdowns was because the

518
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: Patriots gave them the ball on the doorstep of the

519
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: end zone on both of them. I think Joe Flacco's

520
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: ball placement has to be a lot better than it

521
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: was last week. That game, let's call it was, it wasn't.

522
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: It was a blowout disguised if you didn't watch the game.

523
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: Is something closer and it was? It never was. And

524
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean though that this week that Baltimore's defense,

525
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: which is I think a unit that's for real, will

526
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: come back and turn it up against the team with

527
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, I think the Eagles need

528
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: to go into the off season. You've made some progress

529
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz. You're really shorthanded in terms of your

530
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: weapons and what you can ask him to do. You've

531
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: got to reset the machine. And the Ravens have so

532
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: much more to play for. They've got so much more

533
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: this Their season is on the line there at home.

534
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: You can't drop this. This doesn't probably affect the guys

535
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: in the locker room, but from an eagle's perspective, if

536
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: you're a fan saying, oh, actually, it's be fine if

537
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: they lose out, it helps our pick that goes to

538
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: the Brown it's us, which is at this point it

539
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: looked like it was gonna be They're gonna make the playoffs.

540
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: This is a disaster. It's it's surging towards the top ten.

541
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: Now it's either eleven or twelve. So that's what the

542
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: draft in Philadelphia to really wow. Interesting, Well, I can't

543
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: please you put these events in forty eight different cities.

544
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: You can't please everyone. John Harbor, by the way, who

545
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: is really one of the most underrated coaches in football,

546
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: Rookie quarterbacks against UH, the Ravens of the John Harbor era,

547
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: oh and seven UH completion percentage of fifty two, three touchdowns,

548
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: nine interceptions. Carson Wentz could have a tough time. He

549
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: was much better last week, especially especially in the first

550
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: half when he was buttressed by a running game. Look

551
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: at you, ch I like say boot trust personally. I

552
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: like the architectural feature, the flying buttress. Yes, see that

553
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 1: a lot in churches. Yes, of course, Darren Spoils though concussion.

554
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: Wendell Smallwood out for the season. It's Ryan Matthews and

555
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: not much behind him. And last week he had a

556
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: running game in the first half, and I think that's

557
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: helped Carson Wentz when he's played well this year, it's

558
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: been mixing in the run. I don't know if you're

559
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: gonna have that against Baltimore. Also helping Carson Wentz this week,

560
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Brooks should start this game. He's been suffering from

561
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: an anxiety disorder where it causes him to get really

562
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: sick before games and like just vomit before games. So

563
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: he had to be hospitalized for dehydration, but he said

564
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: they're taking care of it and hopefully he'll be able

565
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: to go this week, which would really help with pass production. Well,

566
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 1: let's move on and talk about Oh, this is a

567
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: very good game in the a f C. H the

568
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans seven and six, frisky, Uh, we'll win over

569
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: Denver last week and need another one to keep up uh.

570
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Their surge in the a f C South, traveling to

571
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City to face the Chiefs, who are now ten

572
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: and three. Big win over the Raiders on Thursday Night

573
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: Football last week, Mark, you said this is your favorite

574
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: game in the week. I think it is. Why I

575
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: think it that you know that it's the assumption is, oh, Broncos,

576
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, Patriots automatically the number one game. I don't

577
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: think so. I think this is really compelling. Uh. I

578
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 1: cannot wait to see how the Titans, who went out

579
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: last week and absolutely I thought, handled the Broncos with

580
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: their ground game. And you know the problem when it

581
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: comes to the Titans, for me, if they could play

582
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: the entire game the way they seem to open some

583
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: of these games their first one or two quarters, I

584
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: think they could beat the Patriots or any team in

585
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: the league on certain Sundays. They don't seem to do

586
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: that often. And so you gotta go into Kansas City,

587
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: where we're hearing that the temperature will be ridiculously low,

588
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: and you're not a cold weather team and We're not

589
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: even sure that you're really a team that understands what

590
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: a true playoff races. But you know what, Mariota, I

591
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: think gives you a chance in any one of these games.

592
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: I like the Titans in this game. They're not a

593
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: cold weather team because they don't play in cold weather

594
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: very often, but they're set up to play that style

595
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: with just take the exotic out and go pure smash mouth. Yeah.

596
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: And Marcus Mariota. Since Week five I saw this, he

597
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: has the second best passer rating in the league. Is

598
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: twenty three total touchdowns in that span, twenty one passing,

599
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: two rushing, plus When you have Dereck Johnson out for

600
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, I mean to Marco Murray and

601
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry can go wild on them. They're gonna plug

602
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: somebody in there that can. I just said, like last week,

603
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: I just I, Hey, the Raiders are gonna waltz right

604
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: into Kansas City and take care of business. And I

605
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans, understandably, I think are a little sensitive. I

606
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 1: think they feel like the team that, no matter what

607
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: they do, is utterly disrespected and typically picked against week

608
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: after week. In some of these games, like they've won

609
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: over this room's trust. I don't know what their ceiling is,

610
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: but you know you can't look at Kansas City and

611
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: say that they don't have a chance to go to

612
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship. At this point, are you

613
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: picking the Titans in this game? I picked the Chiefs

614
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: for the NFL Network segment. I usually like to parse

615
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: and split breaks so that I cannot get it wrong somewhere.

616
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna stick with the Chiefs because why repeat

617
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: the mistake I just announced. I'm on picking against the

618
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 1: Chiefs until they play the Patriots or Steelers. I think

619
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep it closed, but I think the Chiefs.

620
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have so many weapons right now. Travis Kelsey,

621
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: he's outstanding. Tyreek Hill has been playing amazing, and then

622
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: that defense, the pass rush so good. I mean, it's

623
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: it's a cute little thing that the Titans have been

624
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: better in the last couple of months. That's nice. That's all,

625
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: but enough of this. It's home now You're going to

626
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: play a big boy on the road in cold temperatures, Tyson.

627
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: Not only the Chiefs gonna win this game and move

628
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: to an eleven and three mark and still being the

629
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: hunt for the number one sees seed. I'm gonna can

630
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: know it. I'm gonna look it up. This is an outrage.

631
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: I can't believe you called him a cute team. Everybody

632
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: keeps moving the bar on the Titans. Oh, you beat

633
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: the Packers, but they had a bad defense. Oh, the

634
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: Broncos are the team that's really gonna be the litmus test. Oh,

635
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: you beat them, but you're still a cute little operations.

636
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's like the most disrespectful thing you could say. This.

637
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: This is the a litmus test for me, And then

638
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: next week it will be different. The times are being

639
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: built so that two years from now they'll be the

640
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: kind of team that makes the a f C championship,

641
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: like four out of six years. We'll see about that

642
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: when you know what, when the Titans are a f

643
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: C superpower, after they get the Rams first round pick

644
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: next year and their own and their GM so good,

645
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: Dan's gonna be wanting to climb on the bandwagon and

646
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna be kicking him off though. You know, I'll

647
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: believe when I see it, Okay, maybe gonna see it.

648
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: That's not gonna be allowed. On here we go. I

649
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: don't want to be on your stupid bandwagon. Okay, it's cute,

650
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: cute little team, but let's see what happens against the

651
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: real football team this week. That's what I said. I

652
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: stand by it. That's why I locked it up, staying

653
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: in the vault. Moving on, the Pittsburgh Steelers travel Uh

654
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati the face the Ben goals Mark Sessler. Uh.

655
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: The Steelers one of the hottest teams in football right now. Uh.

656
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati not going back to the playoffs, but still this

657
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: feels like a dangerous matchup to me, do you agree? Well?

658
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: I think the number one. No matter what's happening with

659
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: these teams, any of these a f C North games,

660
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: These coaches have been around for so long, they know

661
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: each other so well. There aren't that many new pieces

662
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: here where you're gonna catch a one by surprise. So

663
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: it's dangerous from that angle. But to me, that angle alone,

664
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: I I've heard people talk about the Bengals as a

665
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: we just talked about for the Bears and Packers, a

666
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: trap game for for Pittsburgh. I don't see that because

667
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: watching the Browns Bengals game, the Bengals have a couple

668
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: of big flaws. They the Cleveland at its best pass

669
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: rushing effort in the entire year. It looks like a

670
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: completely different defense in the second half because of Cincinnati's

671
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: offensive line. And on the flip side, Cleveland has not

672
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: been able to run the ball in months. Gashed Cincinnati's defense.

673
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: And so now you're gonna go deal with Levy on Bell.

674
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna get Big Ben, You're gonna get Antonio Brown.

675
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: And we're looking at a player in Antonia and Levan

676
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: Bell who is playing at the absolute peak of his powers.

677
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: So I do not think the Bengals will will have

678
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: said that this could ever be not with you necessarily,

679
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: but that Bengals, even in a bad Cincinnati season, this

680
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: rivalry has been very good the last several years. I

681
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: don't think the steel has will overlooked this team. Uh West,

682
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: But what about a J Green being back in the mix.

683
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: That the Cincinnati team is getting right here and this

684
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: may be their super Bowl? Basically, what else do they

685
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: have to play for at this point? Limited practices the

686
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: past two days. It's a hamstring, so you never know

687
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: if there will be a setback late in the week

688
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: or not. But I want to see him get through

689
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: a full game before I say the Steelers should be

690
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: scared to death of a J. Green and frankly, Ross

691
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: Cockerell has handled opposing number one receivers pretty well. Their

692
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: secondary isn't one that you pick on anymore. Not to

693
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: mention for the Bengals, they have Vantes perfect for this

694
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: game against the Steelers, which is the first time that

695
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: he's facing the Steelers since last year's playoff game that

696
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: really ended in a crazy, crazy fashion, which means he'll

697
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: have a penalty for fifteen yards that will absolutely doom Cincinnati.

698
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: And again that's what I kind of mean though that's said,

699
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: that was one of the worst playoff losses any team

700
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: will ever have that Cincinnati lost, and this season has

701
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: not gone well for them. Made they get a chance

702
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: to mess up the Steelers season. I think this will

703
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: be a hyper motivated Cincinnati team. It's all. Do you

704
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: want to know how much I disagree with what I

705
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: did this last week with the Steelers on the road,

706
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: and you cannot disagree more When you lock it up,

707
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: that is the ultimate. On the other side, I like it.

708
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts of this game Ben Roethlisberger last week,

709
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't, I mean, he had I'm thinking about it

710
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy, and I know that's not the

711
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: best thing, but what is up with him on the road?

712
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 1: He has zero touchdowns and six interceptions, and his last

713
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: four road starts that just so happened to be a

714
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: last week I think you got killed by it looked

715
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: like he was going to throw for four yards the

716
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: way they came out, and then they flipped their strategy

717
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: in a in a snowstorm midway through the game and

718
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: just went with Bell. Yeah, and why not keep doing

719
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: that until it doesn't work? You know what I'm really

720
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: frustrated about now what I should have If I didn't

721
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: lock up the last game, I would have locked on

722
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: the other side and we could have had a lock off.

723
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't want to do a double always

724
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: change your Okay, you know this is the I'm repealing

725
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: my previous lock and I'm gonna yeah, that's a lock

726
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: on lock baby. I mean, you want to talk about

727
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 1: an ill fated quote in our history. I'm gonna lock

728
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: up the Bengals. Let's see how that goes for you

729
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: over the course of humans. It's not January. You have

730
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: one thing on your side, Dan Well, last year, Vante

731
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: is perfect knocked Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Levi on

732
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: Bell out of three separate games. He can just take

733
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: all three of them out in this game because he's

734
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: got nothing to play for. That's what I was thinking.

735
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: That's why I've chosen to do this. I actually I

736
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: don't feel good about this, but I feel fans funstick

737
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: about it. It sounded like you feel pretty good about it,

738
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: so that's weird. That's fun. I think I think it

739
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: will be a game. I didn't you know, but now

740
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: I locked it up and I'm in a little too deep.

741
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: But it's for the podcast. I'll do anything for this show.

742
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't really care about you repealing your lock, but

743
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: you ought to take back that little cute comment. I know,

744
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: I like the back of one. That's good. Let's move

745
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: on here. Um, I take it back, West, if only

746
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: because I don't want any bad vibes between you and I.

747
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: Because there was somebody at the at the bar at

748
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: the after party that really, you know, a real human

749
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: gutter ball. Colleen say who it is, but I had

750
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: to say, hey, West, just let's keep our eyes in

751
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: the situation. In case you go back, you might have

752
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: to go outside and dance, yea thank you for that.

753
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: I might have to go do the tango outside. And

754
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: you know I'm a grumpy old man. I like to

755
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: play the heavy, got real, got real in. There no

756
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: better way to end a holiday party than in any

757
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: fight with what I presume would be another employee of

758
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: the company. And it's a great way to put a

759
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: cap on that evening. It's a good thing. No one

760
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: from HR or any high level executive position listen to

761
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: the show. I gotta give props to Sydney. I was

762
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: home by nine thirty that night, got a ride home

763
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:03,200

00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:10,080

769
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: But this was the what was my Tuesday car? Just

770
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: change your name to not enough New Money. Let's take

771
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: a quick second here are you always got to give

772
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: the shout out to the man, the myth, the legend,

773
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: Mr Flame and his economics class in the Hague the Netherlands,

774
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: the great sponsor of the around the NFL podcast and

775
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: all your economics needs will be met if you enroll

776
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: in his class in the Hague the Netherlands. Let's move

777
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: on now, I'll check out the Detroit Lions. Oh, this

778
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: is a good one. Like this matchup the Detroit Lions

779
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 1: on the road heading to the meadow Lands to face

780
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: out off against the New York Giant. It's a battle,

781
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: a battle to nine and four teams. Chris Westling and um.

782
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, if you listen to this podcast, you know

783
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: that Chris Wesley is not a believer in the Giants.

784
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: But then he rewatched that Sunday night game tape and

785
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: he saw the heart and the grit on display by

786
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: the Giants playmaking ability of Odell Beckham and Eli Manning struggling.

787
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you see his eyes and

788
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: you say, there's still beauty and greatness behind those eyes,

789
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: and you're feeling good about the Giants. Now, aren't you

790
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: let me repeal everything you just said? I thought you

791
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: would say if you listened to this podcast, you know

792
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: that the numbers don't support none of the numbers support

793
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: either of these teams being nine and four. That well,

794
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: that's fair, That's what you would know from listening to

795
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: this podcast, we've been doubting both of them all year.

796
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: They're fine, they're and they're nine and four. Let's see

797
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: how far they go the rest of the year. These

798
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: two teams games decided by a touchdow in the last

799
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: Detroit twelve out of thirteen games, the Giants ten out

800
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 1: of thirteen games. This one seems like it's coming down

801
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: to the to the bell and expect a low scoring game.

802
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: Since Week seven, the top two scoring defenses the in

803
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: NFL or the Giants at sixteen point one and the

804
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: Lions at sixteen point four. It's funny that we're a

805
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: couple of months removed from every week on the show

806
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: saying whatever quarterback it was that was going up against

807
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, well, you're going to have your career,

808
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, best day of the season today because Detroit

809
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: can't do anything to stop you, and it's completely opposite

810
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: at this point that their defense is legit. You have

811
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: to say, are are you at least impressed with New

812
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 1: York's defense? I am. The The Giants secondary absolutely man

813
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: handled the Cowboys wide receivers from a physicality point of

814
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: view and took him out of the game. You know

815
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: who's a star on Sunday Night. I was gonna say

816
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: Generis Jenkins, but no, he wants everyone to know everyone

817
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: but his own mother calls him jack Rabbit Jenkins. Jack

818
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: Rabbit Jenkins. It's pretty good. Actually, yeah, Dez could not

819
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: get anything done. He really used way. But by the way,

820
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: does I to say you like to look at the

821
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: schedule the Lions nine and four. Everything's fine and dandy,

822
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: but be careful here because if you don't win on

823
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 1: the road in New York follow to nine and five,

824
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: then you go and play a primetime game against the

825
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys in Dallas. Oh could be nine and six, and

826
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: then you finish at home against the Packers, who are

827
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: playing as good as anyone in the NFC, oh, nine

828
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: and seven. If everything turns poorly, and that's not the

829
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: biggest stretch, it's not, I mean. And also you have

830
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: to you know the idea that all this stuff in

831
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of minutes has been going pro Detroit,

832
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: that at some point it's going to come home to roost,

833
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: and if not in January, much sooner. Maybe we talked

834
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: about the Packers winning this division on Tuesday, and you

835
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: just laid out the road map for that. Yeah. I've

836
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,479
Speaker 1: been really impressed though with the Lions defense just since

837
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: Week eight. When you look at their numbers what they've

838
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: been able to do. They're tied for the NFL's best

839
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: scoring defense. They've only allowed nine touchdowns and they've allowed

840
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: twenty or points or fewer nine times this entire season.

841
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: They tackle well, and they get their hands on a

842
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: lot of balls. They can hasked a lot of passes.

843
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: Their secondary is pretty good now. And I don't you know,

844
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't want Lions fans to come after me on Twitter,

845
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: and I know they've won five in a row. Not

846
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: if you're nine and four. You're nine and four. Bill

847
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: Parcel said, you are what your record says you are.

848
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: So they'll probably find a way to win one of

849
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: these games. But I don't know if I would say

850
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: that I would pick them in any of these games.

851
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's a tough close for them. So to

852
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: keep it on, we wanted to see this Lion's defense

853
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: face a real test. They're not gonna face a real test.

854
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: Giants offense is among the worst in the NFL, including

855
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: the teams that have given up for the season, and

856
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: watch after Matthew Stafford here, what is going on with

857
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: that finger? And I think that's a huge again in

858
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: New York, it's gonna be I believe I'm looking right now.

859
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: Weather report marks, Well, it's this is a ten day

860
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: forecast from weather day dot com. But in East Rutifford,

861
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 1: New Jersey, on Sunday it says high of fifty nine,

862
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: low of twenty three of rain. Rain. So the temperature

863
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be that cold. Well, we don't know.

864
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: I mean that, you know as I let me tell you,

865
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: it's forecast can shift in things can change at a

866
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: ten day forecast. When it's only fortune, well, it's you know,

867
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: it's stretches. I can tell you the Sunday after it's

868
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be you had a dislocated middle finger on

869
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: your throwing hand. Do you think that weather is something

870
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: you want? But not at all. I think that is

871
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: a recipe for some trouble. All right, let's um, I

872
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to get out of bed. Let's move on

873
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: and talk about our next game. The Indianapolis Colts six

874
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 1: and seven need to win out uh most likely, although

875
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: you never know in that a f C South, but

876
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: they need to get this win, they travel to Minnesota

877
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: to face the Vikings. Yes, I guess they're the team

878
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: of a t l uh and there's no Greg here

879
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: to defend them. Um contie Fox as Minnesota gonna be

880
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: able to finish this season with a level of dignity

881
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: befitting of the team of the around the NFL. The

882
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: team they're making me really depressed lately in the red zone.

883
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 1: That's just one of the reasons why they're making me depressed.

884
00:43:55,440 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: A very very distinct area of depression is but three

885
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: separate times on Sunday they tried to score from the

886
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: one yard line. They only got in there once, and

887
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: then of their five trips in the red zone, only

888
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: twice they converted. When you can't convert on these short

889
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: yard situations and you have Matt Asciata and you're trying

890
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: desperately to get one yard to score and you can't,

891
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: that is such a nightmare. Plus Sam Bradford, he's averaging,

892
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: as we've talked about on the show before, six point

893
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: four yards per attempt. You're running game is only averaging

894
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: three yards per carry. The offense has set up Sam

895
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: Bradford sort of de fail and I kind of feel

896
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: bad for Pat Shermer that short yardage offense has been

897
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: an issue all year long. On the other hand, who

898
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: would you most want to play if you have trouble

899
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: moving the ball in short yardage situations? A colts team

900
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 1: that has lacked a backbone for the entire Andrew luck

901
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: Earra on defense. Yeah, and it's it's this to me.

902
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the games where you

903
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: look at where it is in Minnesota. I think the

904
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: Vikings are distinctly better at home. And I think if

905
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: Greg we're here, he would say, you have to look

906
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: at the offense last week played one of its better games.

907
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means in the big scope

908
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: of the NFL. It's not one of the NFL's better games.

909
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: But guys like Adam Feeling Stefon digs still around. I mean,

910
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: they've been making They've been productive the last month, and

911
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: also Sam Bradford making big throws. I think so too.

912
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I this is an interesting game.

913
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: And if we are tired of the cults, and you

914
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: want to end the cults more than you do, anyone

915
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: wants to see the Vikings deep six out of this thing.

916
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: And that might be me, right there. I'm a little

917
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: tired of the Cults. You you can listen this Cults

918
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: fan base, which is very up on that I do.

919
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting matchup. I'm not saying that

920
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: it's to take a dirt nap. No, I don't want

921
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings to take a dirt nap the Vikings. You know,

922
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: Dan inadvertently called a team seven and sick. I think

923
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings are seven and sick. That's how I feel

924
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: about them. But I will say that this is a

925
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: Cults fan base that you know, it's a little bit

926
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: of a woe is Me fan base right now. It

927
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: has been since that they last missed the playoffs two

928
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: years in a row, and that's when you went from

929
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh as your quarterback to the next year Peyton Manning,

930
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: and from Peyton Manning to Andrew. Look, you haven't had

931
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: a tough time of it. You might have to go

932
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: through a little bit of a dark time to learn

933
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: what it means to be an NFL fan in this century.

934
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: It all kind of turns back to that Cessler dark zone.

935
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you're allowed to have a tough Sunday,

936
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: terrible job by the Cults last week losing at home.

937
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: That's the way they did, and that it's a hard

938
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: they're hard to take serious after what they did there.

939
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: And but a road in win in Minnesota would be

940
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 1: uh important and it also impressive. The Vikings, by the way,

941
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: one last note on them, guys before we move on. Uh,

942
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: they were the last undefeated team this season for five

943
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 1: and oh since nineteen seventy, only one, only one says

944
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: the NFL's last undefeated team missed the playoffs. Very good.

945
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, I know because I said it on this pie.

946
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: I remember, look at you. I wasn't listening. It was

947
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: it was after I believe the Vikings Cowboys Thursday night

948
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: game Little Dome Patrol. So it was like you were like, oh,

949
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: Greg and West are doing their whole little uh they're

950
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: cute little recap thing. Did I say cute again? That's

951
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 1: what you were thinking they're doing. They're cute little recap.

952
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: I'll just fast forward six into the show. Everything's accurate.

953
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: That's being said right now all the show. I take

954
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: copious notes on each of you and then file it away.

955
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: You know that that's true. Should we say, real quick,

956
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: if you're the cults after this game you've got the

957
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: you have to go on the road and play the Raiders,

958
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: then you host the Jaguars. That's your chance to save

959
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: your season. The Vikings after the Colts game, have to

960
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay, not easy, and then you play

961
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: the Bears. Is this one of those games, by the ways, Yeah,

962
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot of these fathers have already been disappointed if

963
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: they route for anyone on either of those teams at

964
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: this point, let's uh move on. Speaking of disappointment, the

965
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars are a thing that exists. Two and eleven

966
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: now travel Houston to face the Texans, who, on the

967
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: strength of that surprise win in Indie, are again alive

968
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 1: and well it's seven and six and should be able

969
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 1: west to take care of business against the Jaguars, who

970
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: are an atrocity, but especially still on the road. Jaguars

971
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: are an atrocity, but they've played hard the last two weeks.

972
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: They've given the Vikings and Bills a game, and the

973
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: Texans are not about to blow out anyone. I'm sorry,

974
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: They're just not. These are the two quarterbacks in the NFL,

975
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: the only two quarterbacks to start every game and failed

976
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: to pass, failed to post a one passer rating at

977
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: any point in the season. Oswilder's lasting yards per attempt

978
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: at five point eight borders the second last at six

979
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: point one. You're looking at about a five to two

980
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: ball game. I think it's I was gonna I was

981
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: just gonna say, like, what do you think the combined

982
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: score is going to be? I would actually love to

983
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: see that just for like folly value of five to five.

984
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: I mean for you is that I'd have to say

985
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: it must be more less belief in either offense than

986
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: the fact that both defenses are not terrible. These are

987
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: two good defenses. Jackson total defense in Houston sixth, so

988
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: you and the Bears are seven. So maybe our total

989
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: defense that this here's your here's your weekly Blake Bordles

990
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: is a total mess stat for you. That's coming from

991
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: our research notes. So we know the Jags are in

992
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: an eight game losing streak. They also have the number

993
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: one defense in the league since Week nine, so their

994
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: their defense is playing at a level at least statistically

995
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: that's better than anyone else, and yet they are losing

996
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: every single week because they're supposed or what we thought

997
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: was an up and coming star quarterback. He has taken

998
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: a dirt nap on some levels, starting to believe none

999
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: of these stats. Since Week seven. It's the Giants with

1000
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: the best defenses a lot of it's also the yard

1001
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: I think you know the but because there's no real

1002
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: dominant defense is how many good defenses this year have

1003
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: been exposed. So you know, maybe you gotta look a

1004
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: little closer at the numbers, but that is the stat

1005
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 1: that's the data. It's a big game though. Playoff wise,

1006
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 1: it was kind of weird to see Blake Bortles last

1007
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: week take advantage of the fact that um, you had

1008
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: um Harrison Smith. Harrison Smith was out this game, and uh,

1009
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: when you watched him play, I was like, oh my god,

1010
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: it's not just in junk time that he's doing things

1011
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: and the same actually like making a couple of plays.

1012
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: Plus markis Lee has been consistently good well and which

1013
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: is also not the was not the plan in Jacksonville.

1014
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: Just have to Marquise Lee and someone a couple of

1015
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: other known name receivers playing a much bigger role than

1016
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson or it's times even Alan Hearns. It's just

1017
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: it's you look across the field. The same thing with

1018
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, these quarterbacks are turning these star players into

1019
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: just as Dan would say, Jags Marcus Lee. Marquis Lee

1020
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: is coming off the best game of his career. He

1021
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: was pretty darn good last week. But if Allen Robinson

1022
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: ran all his routes close to the line of scrimmage,

1023
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: he'd beat the Jaguars number one receiver. He's his production

1024
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: is down because every time you see Bordles dropped back

1025
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: can throw a deep ball, it wobbles and doesn't get there.

1026
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: Here is a stat you could read about this over

1027
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 1: at the end around NFL dot com slash end around

1028
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: or NFL dot com slash Hansas Company Man either way. Yeah,

1029
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: but it's ultimately self self serving. Yeah. Uh uh. Gus

1030
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: Bradley is now uh fourteen and forty seven. It is

1031
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: very hard to hang around that long and have a

1032
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: record that bad. Uh a winning percentage of two thirty.

1033
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, who has a six seventy winning percentage in

1034
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: his twenty two years, would have to lose how many

1035
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: games mark to get below Gus Bradley's current winning percentage.

1036
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 1: Just take a guess, two d shoot, I wasn't listening.

1037
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie ware. It was straight games. He

1038
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: would have to go owen sixteen uh forty one consecutive times,

1039
00:51:58,239 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: by the way, you would love to see that, how

1040
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: but uh, he would be a five. Yeah, he would

1041
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: have to coach a hundred and five years old to

1042
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: actually make it. So how many seasons would that be?

1043
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: That would be a million season something season. Yeah, he

1044
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: would have to because he's sixty one now or sixty

1045
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: four now, and he'd have to coach until he was

1046
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: a hundred and six. I mean there's like there's multiple

1047
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,919
Speaker 1: people in here trying to do mathematical problems. Bad move.

1048
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 1: I mean, Colleen's not even listening to the show, like

1049
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: everything's gonna anyway. So the point there, Gus Bradley bad,

1050
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick good. Can you imagine if Bill Belichick was

1051
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: still beating the Jets every year for forty more years?

1052
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: Would I actually I can't imagine it. I would not

1053
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 1: doubt it as something that could happen, or his son

1054
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: like stepping in and being better than Dad. And then

1055
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: as Dan is being lowered into the earth, someone tells

1056
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: him the entire NFL is just a joke that we've

1057
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: played on you and marking others for your entire lifetime

1058
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: tricks on you. You could have spent so much time

1059
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: doing other things that would be an awful funeral. In

1060
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: spent your entire employment history. All right, let's move on

1061
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: to the New Orleans Saints. That was grim. Guys five

1062
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: and eight travel to uh Arizona to face the five,

1063
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: seven and one Cardinals. We don't spend much time in

1064
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: this game, but I will report that the Cardinals cut

1065
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd this week after a d U I R S.

1066
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: I can I have that exclusively, Guys, a d U

1067
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: I R S for Michael Floyd. They decided to cut

1068
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: him where he ended up a tease. We'll talk about

1069
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 1: that team a little bit later, but the Cardinals say

1070
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: goodbye West. Were you surprised he was a free agent? Anyway?

1071
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: It looks like a situation with we've had with this

1072
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: guy has been terrible. Just get out of our life.

1073
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: How disappointing was this season? This year? He he was

1074
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 1: incredibly disappointed, especially in a contract. You're a guy who

1075
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: late last season finished out with five yard games in

1076
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: the last eight games. He looked like he was ready

1077
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: to emerge as a top twenty NFL receiver, and he

1078
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: has spent the season dropping passes and vanishing from the offense.

1079
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: It's been an incredibly disappointing season for him and Smoothy Brown.

1080
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: I will say what we're hearing though out of Arizona

1081
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: is that while you know, we may be fine with

1082
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: him not being on the Cardinals and the coaches made

1083
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: that decision along with the front office, then in the

1084
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: locker room it has caused quite a bit of discord

1085
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 1: amongst some people that were very fond to Michael Floyd

1086
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 1: to see the Cardinals do this. I'm sure that I

1087
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: was thinking about it. How I'm kind of I kind

1088
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: of feel bad for him because the season that he's having,

1089
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: it's obviously so bad on the field, and then you

1090
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: get the d U. I he was asleep at the

1091
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: wheel and he's passed out. It's the ult the ultimate

1092
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: d U. I will thank thankfully where you don't hurt somebody,

1093
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: but where you're passed out in the middle of the street.

1094
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: I mean, they're going really bad for him right now.

1095
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. Yeah, that's a bad DU. I's

1096
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: pretty bad. Yeah, it's not. It's not your diamond doesn't

1097
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: that's the where you're passed out in the shoulder in

1098
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the road where there might be something

1099
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 1: actually going on behind the scenes. Were hard to talk

1100
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: get down anyway about this game anything for us. So

1101
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: Drew Brees the last two weeks, what is going on

1102
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: with him? Six interceptions, zero touchdowns. Look, if the Cardinals

1103
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: defense was at full strength, I would be really worried

1104
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: about Breeze again for a third straight week. But they

1105
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: have no Tyrone Matthew, which we've known about. But now

1106
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: you have Taivan branch Out and Dion Buchanan are out

1107
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: in this one, So I don't know. Maybe this is

1108
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: a bounce back game for Drew Brees, but Breeze hates

1109
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 1: hates pressure up the middle, and with Max Younger out

1110
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: of this one, Clais Campbell could have a field day.

1111
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: He could, and you asked what's wrong with him? He

1112
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 1: missed Brandon Cooks by inches in the end zone early

1113
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: in the game on a deep throw and then Cooks

1114
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: dropped the touchdown a different drive, Traveris Cadet dropped the touchdown.

1115
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: Breeze could have easily had three touchdowns in that game.

1116
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: And give credit to the Bucks defense which was swarming

1117
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: against against the S. That was a strange game. I mean,

1118
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: I I also look at what happen with the Cardinals.

1119
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: We mentioned that rainstorm that they played the Dolphins in.

1120
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: They were Kerwin Williams was running wildcat, they did a

1121
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: reverse to j J Now and they're doing anything they

1122
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: could to get yardage in offense and get something going.

1123
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: They just seemed very I would never have said this

1124
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: about any game with the Cardinals last season on offense,

1125
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: just very much out of rhythm. Uh that's it. Let's

1126
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: move on to San Francisco. Forty niners or one in twelve.

1127
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: They had a golden opportunity to break their eleven game

1128
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: losing streak when they were up seventeen to three on

1129
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: the Jets last week and let that game. Guess they

1130
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,959
Speaker 1: forgot about Bryce Petty. That's why you don't forgot about

1131
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: Bryce Petty. And now they go on the road to

1132
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: face the Atlanta Falcons, who have just basically got Jeff

1133
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: Fisher fired. That's how good they played in their last game, uh, Mark,

1134
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: So you would expect more of the same. Domination of

1135
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: the Falcons of an NFC West has been well, you

1136
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: have to wonder how long the coach in San Francisco

1137
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: will be around. I hope they wouldn't do the same

1138
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: thing to Chip Kelly this week. But I mean, I

1139
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: can't imagine on paper or worst matchup you're looking at

1140
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: in terms of points scored and allowed the most explosive

1141
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: offense in the league with the Falcons against a defense

1142
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: in San Francisco that I don't care whether you're home

1143
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: or away, especially on the road in Atlanta, just bleeds

1144
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: points for about it. How about this, By the way,

1145
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is dealing with this toe injury. West, Why

1146
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: don't just sit Julio Jones. Yeah, I don't know if

1147
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 1: that's the plan right now, get assumed because you've shown

1148
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: you could score without him. Give him another week, Maybe

1149
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: give him two weeks. If you get this one and

1150
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: you're in good shape at nine and five, don't play

1151
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: him against the forty Niners. Couldn't agree more. Turf toe

1152
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: injuries tend to linger, and you can have setbacks with him.

1153
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: I would not play Julio Jones against fort especially as

1154
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: well as Tarior Taylor Gabriel is playing as a guy

1155
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: who's making big plays every single week. He's been consistent.

1156
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: I think that they have plenty of firepower without Julio

1157
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: Jones Wellhamad Sanknew also though is questionable in this game.

1158
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: He's pretty he's banged up as well, so well they

1159
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: got by. Was gonna say, you have both of those

1160
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: guys questionable. It doesn't even matter though against the forty Niners.

1161
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if they can keep a clamp on Carlos Hide,

1162
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: which is essentially the only viable way that San Francisco

1163
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: can eat up the clock and score touchdowns and stay

1164
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: in the game, then you know their defense. Atlanta's defense

1165
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: is outside of Vic Beasley, is not a showcase defense.

1166
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: It's quite the opposite. But you got you're gonna win

1167
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: this game, and you can. You should be able to

1168
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: rest people while doing it. Yeah, the forty Niners totally overmatch,

1169
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: which makes it even more surprising the Collie and would

1170
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: decide to lock it up, locking it up. I'm locking

1171
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: it up, Dan Hans is la la la la la la,

1172
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: lock it up for real? Yeah, it's gonna happen. No,

1173
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: you're not. I'm not okay. People, you know the guys

1174
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: on their on their lunch break, they had to get

1175
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: up and open and close the vault for no reason

1176
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: at all. It was just a sham. There's union issue

1177
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: or the forty Niners even allowed to be part of

1178
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: a lock. I don't think. So let's move on. The

1179
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders are ten and three, UM coming off um

1180
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: a loss on Thursday Night football to the Chiefs. Now,

1181
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: they traveled to San Diego to face the Chargers, and

1182
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,919
Speaker 1: I would say, Chris Westling, I would like to see

1183
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: UM how Derek Carr looks now two weeks removed from

1184
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: that finger injury, because their whole season rides on whether

1185
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the Derek Carr the first twelve weeks

1186
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, it's hard for me when I

1187
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: look at the way he's played the last two weeks.

1188
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: He had the pinky issue. For both of those games

1189
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: against the Bills, he looked fantastic to me. They exploded

1190
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: for three or four scores in a row, and he

1191
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: he just quick release, accurate, looked great. And then to

1192
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City and have the worst game of

1193
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: his career in the cold, it makes me believe that

1194
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: that was all a cold weather phenomenon. And I think

1195
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: it was a Chief's defense phenomenon versa Bills defense, which

1196
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: is essentially fallen off a cliff of late. Yes, this

1197
00:59:55,600 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: is a interesting matchup between one of the biggest defensive

1198
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Player of the Year candidates, which you can find this

1199
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: week at nfl dot com Slash position Rankings. Top ten

1200
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of Year candidates Cleo mac against I believe

1201
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: a strong front runner for Defensive Rookie of the Year,

1202
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa. I think bos has even got a stronger

1203
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: case than Macta. Oh, let me ask you a question, ready,

1204
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: who would rather have for the next ten years? That

1205
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: is a tough one. I think I'd have to see

1206
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: more of Bossa before I would put him over mac Okay,

1207
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: I want both would be great old on defense. Cessler,

1208
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: you gotta choose one. I'll go Bosa. You're going for it.

1209
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like the personality match with the Mark

1210
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Sessler uh team. If you like the GM, don't have it?

1211
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Why not? What's his personality match? You don't like the

1212
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: show boat guy that's having you know, a lot too

1213
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: much fun. All these guys are show boats. Give me

1214
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: a break, all right? So for this game, Mike McCoy

1215
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: uh on the hot seat, I think you you it's

1216
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 1: safe to say five, five and eight. The charge is

1217
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: as an organization, now have other things they got this

1218
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: this potential move hanging over them, and I'm surprised west

1219
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: that Philip rivers play has fallen up because he's been

1220
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: so good for so long. Whenever he goes into a slump,

1221
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: it's it's surprising to me. Yeah, I don't. I don't

1222
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: even really know the reason for it. He's done this

1223
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: in the second half of seasons the last few years,

1224
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: and the personnel is largely the same as it was

1225
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: a month or two ago. Melvin Gordon probably won't play

1226
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: in this game, which which means you'll get Kenneth Pharaoh.

1227
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,479
Speaker 1: But other than that, he's still throw into Don Trelle

1228
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: m men, Antonio Gates, Hunter, Henry and and Tyrelle Williams,

1229
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: the same guys he was throwing too early in the

1230
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: season when he was doing well. Have you heard from

1231
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: Spice Rack this week? I have not heard from Spice Rack.

1232
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: It's probably been a tough week for Were we a

1233
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: little tough on him? And I left last show thinking

1234
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: I was a little bit rough on him, where he's

1235
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: genuinely been a nice guys. Probably stepped on your toes

1236
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: a little bit because of your close relationship with Mr Flame. Yeah,

1237
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: you I think that was, I probably would have been

1238
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: largely removed from the whole thing. But then when you

1239
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: bring in Mr Flame completely innocent out of note, Really

1240
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: Mr Flame did nothing at all, and you start holding

1241
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: him out with the words he used. But we're right

1242
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: back and again I'm taking him down again, Sicrack hand coming.

1243
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: I think he was an unprovoked shot against a heck

1244
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: of a nice guy like Mr F. I sent some

1245
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: jealousy here just between uh, spice Rack and Mr F.

1246
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: You should let spice Rack know that he could do

1247
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: an in segments sort of sponsorship. I mean, he could

1248
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 1: do something within the pot. Just because Mr F is

1249
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: the title sponsor doesn't mean that maybe Lock of the

1250
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: Week is sponsored you don't know, by spice Rack. Yeah,

1251
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: I think I think any endorsement opportunity for spice Rack

1252
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: kind of went by by his second I do like

1253
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: Colleen essentially putting us on that, and then you know

1254
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: she'll disappear for three weeks, so we have to deal with,

1255
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, spice Rack for the next month. So um,

1256
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on and take a look at

1257
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. Oh, this

1258
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: is fun. The Patriots who looked again very good on

1259
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Monday night beating the Ravens, you know, hurt themselves with

1260
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: some special teams things, but you expect that to get

1261
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: worked out by the time you get the January tom

1262
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Brady looking sadly um as good as ever, which is

1263
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: not not at all suspicious. I just want to say,

1264
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, not even a little bit suspicious that Tom

1265
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Brady at thirty nine years old is playing like he's

1266
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:20,479
Speaker 1: twenty six. Not at all science. Yeah, there's a little

1267
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Rocky four stuff going on. I think he's not the

1268
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: one in the log cabin. That's all I'm gonna say.

1269
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: Alex Guerrero making you more pliable. I like that that

1270
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: he explained that he was more pliable. He's very flexible man,

1271
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: and he believes that's made a difference, which actually kind

1272
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: of makes sense. I mean, I think he you know,

1273
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: there's sound reasons. You know, they include hard work, diet, exercise,

1274
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: you know, revolutionary um, you know, physical preparation. That could

1275
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: be you know, a part of why he's still successful

1276
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: in a lot of people, a lot of people through

1277
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: the years, uh that professional athletes have used good diet

1278
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: and work at routine that was very effective for some reason,

1279
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: tom aging backwards not at all suspicious. Well, I mean

1280
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's not going to Cocy. He's not going to

1281
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,479
Speaker 1: the gaslight to st cakaryokes after the company holiday party.

1282
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: That is the price. I he won't even eat strawberries. Yeah. Um. Anyway,

1283
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: so eleven and two Patriots, eight and five Broncos, who

1284
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: um are not safe that they could absolutely miss the

1285
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: playoffs of things work against them here down the stretch.

1286
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: And to me, Colleen, this is a game that the

1287
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: Broncos almost have to have. And that's a tough thing

1288
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 1: to say when you have the Pats coming into town. Yeah,

1289
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Trevor Simeon. I mean, it definitely doesn't

1290
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: have the same star power as it once did when

1291
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: these two teams played each other. But Brady, he threw

1292
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: over four hundred yards on what was the number one

1293
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: defense in the league, and that mostly came after Jimmy

1294
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: Smith went down. We saw that he sort of went

1295
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: wild after that. But the Broncos they still have Chris Harris,

1296
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: they still have to keep to leave, and they still

1297
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: have Von Miller, so you can't really count against them.

1298
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: It's always weird things happened when the Patriots go into

1299
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Denver and play the Broncos, and I can't really count

1300
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: out the Broncos in this one. I sort of have

1301
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: like a weird feeling. No game at home for Denver

1302
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: should maybe this current team be counted out? Right? You

1303
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: know they talking about Bill Belichick. He emphasized to his

1304
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: team this week that that was the biggest issue. Yes,

1305
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: what I think Colin was in the middle of a

1306
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: greater point. Thanks for falling asleep on me there. Sorry,

1307
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: this is this is from earlier when I fell asleep

1308
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, I have I'm gonna go back to it.

1309
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: I sort of have a feeling about the Denver Broncos

1310
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: in this game. It's just sort of like, I just

1311
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: don't think that what we think is going to happen. Well,

1312
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: but I think the Broncos are locking it up, locking

1313
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: it up, locking the bigot that is that you hung

1314
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: on there, Well that's what I do. And the lock

1315
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: of the weeks and um for two. So you are

1316
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: you know what, you don't get enough credit. Thanks because

1317
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: and it speaks to me really that I'm pointing this

1318
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: out now more than anything but brand slams with these predictions.

1319
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: But then since you're not on the show. Every every

1320
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: episode it kind of gets wiped away. But right now,

1321
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: you you did very well with some sandwich props your

1322
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: what was your last prediction the Seahawks would beat the Patriots. Seahawks,

1323
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and now you're gonna say that Pats are gonna go

1324
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: down again. Yeah, it's happening. I don't know. I'm sitting

1325
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: in rosy seat right now, so I feel like I

1326
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: just need to take down the Patriots. That's the first

1327
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: time someone in that seat has not picked the Patriots.

1328
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: It is absolutely right, almost as animated is Greg. I

1329
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: have to just like throw my arms around. So Mark,

1330
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 1: that was Colin was getting into something I didn't want

1331
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: to know. I mean, I interrupt you. I feel like

1332
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: we've given her and I love the luck. It's it's

1333
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: Darry and I feel like given her credit for it

1334
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: before they've actually beaten the Patriots. I think that's a

1335
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: big part of the puzzle here. And I watched the

1336
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: Titans just run through Denver's vaunted defense. It will last week.

1337
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: That's a concern. I do think that also. Trevor Simeon,

1338
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: Yes he's not the name power of Peyton Manning, but

1339
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: at this point, right now, he throws the ball better

1340
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: than brock Osweiler did at any point in Denver, and

1341
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: I think he throws it better than Peyton Manning did

1342
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: last year as well. He is not a major issue

1343
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: for Denver. I think he's helped him. I don't think

1344
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: they want to be passing the ball as much as

1345
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: they are. They have no ground game still. That concerns me.

1346
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: And you put out you put out Justin Forcet. He

1347
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 1: fumbles his first carry. It was a huge fumble last week.

1348
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I wonder if they will get

1349
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: Justin Forcett more involved in the passing game though, just

1350
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: since that's sort of how they used him in Baltimore

1351
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: when Gary Kubiak was there, he was arguably the least

1352
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: effective pass catching back in the NFL in the last

1353
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: few years, averaging about four yards per reception. That's not

1354
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: what you want from a I mean, I think he's

1355
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: probably getting close to the end of the line, and

1356
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: it's telling that he's starting. They're starting running. It shows

1357
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: how desperate they are. He was Gary. We need a

1358
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: guy to come in that. I don't need three weeks

1359
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: to teach the playbook too. He needs to be on

1360
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: the field Now, this is how you win the game

1361
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: if you're the Broncos, and I think it starts with

1362
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: von Miller having his best game of the season, like

1363
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens showed it again on Monday night. If you

1364
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: don't get in Brady's face and make him uncomfortable, he

1365
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: is going to destroy you. They need to make Tom

1366
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: Brady uncomfortable even though he moves. He's moving almost suspiciously

1367
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: well in the pocket at this stage of you. Yeah,

1368
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 1: and by the way, I just want to state I

1369
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: have no reason to believe Tom Brady is doing this

1370
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: without with some type of use of anything that's like

1371
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: a nut natural ability and just smart uh and disciplined

1372
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: workout and diet habits. I'm just saying it's weird. You

1373
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: gotta get after uh Tom Brady to have a chance

1374
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: of the Patriots, and I think von Miller could be

1375
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: the guy to do it. What do you always hear

1376
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 1: about the best way to get Brady pass rush up

1377
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: the middle. They don't have Mallick Jackson anymore, and that

1378
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: was a big factor in the a f C Championship game.

1379
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: Von Miller is a terror off the edge and I'm

1380
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 1: sure they will be chipping him with running backs throughout

1381
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: the game. What a beating tom Brady took him that

1382
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: an FC champion, one of the biggest beatings I've seen.

1383
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: But also how different this offensive line for the Patriots

1384
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: is playing with and as you mentioned, the people that

1385
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: Denver were was doing that with last January, you know

1386
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: nearly a year ago that that complexion of that defense

1387
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: has changed. If this m v P race should go

1388
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: down to week seventeen, but if Tom Brady throws the

1389
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: kill shot against the Ravens number one defense, and then

1390
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,640
Speaker 1: I hate this term the no fly zone, Well we

1391
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: got a trap game at a no fly zone from you,

1392
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: the no fly If he beats both of those teams,

1393
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: the two biggest challengers to the Patriots in January over

1394
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:48,560
Speaker 1: the last decade, it's gonna have. Does it help that

1395
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:53,799
Speaker 1: he may have a new weapon. Yeah. Michael Floyd's punishment

1396
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: for d u I is go catch passes from Tom

1397
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Brady on a Super Bowl run. Yeah. Michael Floyd claimed

1398
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: waivers by the Pats, and I believe the way waivers works,

1399
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: it goes in order like worst the best record, thirty

1400
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: teams passed on him. Yeah, So the Pats took a

1401
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 1: flyer on him. And you know, we were talking about

1402
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: this on Tuesday Show that they the Pats have such

1403
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: a depth issue wide receiver. When they were running the

1404
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: three wide receiver set, they had a call time out

1405
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: when somebody had to lead the game temporarily. So if

1406
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,560
Speaker 1: nothing else, Floyd gives you another warm body. Whether or

1407
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 1: not he can actually be a playmaker in this offense

1408
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 1: that might be asking a lot. Oh no, it'll happen,

1409
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: just because that's what happens. It has been an offense though,

1410
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: and I largely agree with you that we'll see a

1411
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: completely different type of player because that's just New England.

1412
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: But there have been at that that that position, specifically

1413
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: guys that have come in and found out we don't

1414
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: work here because we there's a cerebral side of the

1415
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,120
Speaker 1: way they play their wide receivers that guys like Chad

1416
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: Johnson couldn't hang there. But it's he's not the only one, yes,

1417
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: all right, So Colleen, obviously it feels very strongly. Does

1418
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: anybody else in the room think that the Broncos, who

1419
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: are a desperate team, the Patriots can lose and still

1420
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: be in very good position for the one seed. The Broncos,

1421
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 1: they falled eight six. They're deep trouble. This is almost

1422
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: a wounded dog game. Let's hold off on the drop, Sid,

1423
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: I'd respect for a lot of people, especially my colleague Wis. Yeah.

1424
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't like to hear wounded animals. Sorry, yeah, that's

1425
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: what's wrong with him. You have a dog. No, you

1426
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: don't know he died. Thanks for bringing it up, all right?

1427
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Is that your dog? I love you, boomer Um. Does

1428
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: anybody else think the Patriots will lose this game? No?

1429
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: I respect the Broncos at home. You have to respect him,

1430
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,560
Speaker 1: but I just don't think they're good enough team. I

1431
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,679
Speaker 1: think the Patriots will win, all right. I'm not picking

1432
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,600
Speaker 1: against New England until I, you know, potentially get a

1433
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 1: playoff game wrong that they lose. They're not. I don't

1434
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: have them losing again, and I will pick the Patriots too.

1435
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: And I respect Tom Brady. I'm sure he does sound

1436
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: like totally natural, but it is weird. It's a gift

1437
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 1: to say. Moving on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Uh, now

1438
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: this is where Colin, you need to bring the energy

1439
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,600
Speaker 1: in Greg's chair because he is the Buck's booster of

1440
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: this room. Eight and five obviously playing extremely well and

1441
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: have a chance to go to the playoffs. But now

1442
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: they get the Dallas Cowboys um coming off a loss

1443
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: to the Giants on Sunday Night football, and I gotta

1444
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: tell you, wes Uh, I don't like Tampa's chances at

1445
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: all in this game. When you factor in Dallas needing

1446
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: the wind coming off the loss at home, I would

1447
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: have locked. I almost had three locks. I could have

1448
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 1: went with today this one. I feel very strong about Dallas.

1449
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: What oh what West? No? Wait what? I feel pretty strong.

1450
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 1: But get up? Whoa Buccaneers go into Dallas and you're

1451
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 1: I fell for this Bucks team last week. I fell

1452
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: for him, fell head over heels. I'm in love with

1453
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers now, I'm sorry. The way their defense plays,

1454
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: oh my god. They were just all over the quarterback,

1455
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: all over Drew Brees. They get their hands on everything,

1456
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 1: every passage challenge. They tackle so well, the Gang tackle.

1457
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 1: Their energy is so high on defense. This team is

1458
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: playing better than the Cowboys right now. Wow, you know

1459
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 1: what said, I'm going to repeal my Cincinnati law and

1460
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: I've got off. Fuck up big d with a big

1461
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: You're making a mockery out of my favorite segment. It's

1462
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 1: it's a fluid segment. Okay, I yeah, there's no way

1463
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:49,640
Speaker 1: that's crazy to me that you would say that, But

1464
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: you know what, you're educated. I mean, I love Keith Tanny.

1465
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 1: I like his name too, but he needs to start

1466
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 1: every game from from here to the rest so much

1467
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: better in a row. For that's big boy pants. The

1468
01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Bucks going to Dallas and win in late December. Big

1469
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 1: boy pants, you think they're ready? They are that type

1470
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: of team. Now, do you know who can wear big

1471
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: boy pants? Jamis Winston? Because you know what, you know

1472
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 1: what we complain about on this show all the time.

1473
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks who throws short of the fantasy football, Well, that's

1474
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who throws short of the sticks. Jamis Winston never

1475
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: throws short of the sticks on third down. He's going

1476
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 1: for the first down. He's playing aggressive, he makes place.

1477
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: He's so elusive in the pocket. He might not quite

1478
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: be Marcus Mariota, but he's pretty darn good. I am

1479
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: rooting for this Bucks team. Get Charles Sims back last week.

1480
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: They have a more well rounded team. Now about Marcus

1481
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: Mariota and Jamis Winston going one two in the draft.

1482
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 1: Winston Winston First, these guys are studs. How how rare

1483
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,600
Speaker 1: is that. It's interesting. I think if you look at

1484
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: Mike Smith, who we've probably laughed about, you know, especially

1485
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,839
Speaker 1: when he was a head coach math on this podcast,

1486
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 1: he is coordinator of the year material with the way

1487
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,679
Speaker 1: this defense has played down the stretch, because last week

1488
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotte in the offense vanished for a large portion

1489
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: of that game. And it's the defense that against a

1490
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:15,679
Speaker 1: guy like Drew Brees three interceptions and made the Saints

1491
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 1: offense look somewhat broken. So I I don't think it's

1492
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: a crazy lock. I think it's a lot to ask

1493
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 1: to go on the road into Dallas, because I think

1494
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: Dallas also has probably heard all this Johnny Come Lately

1495
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: business about oh, the offense is broken down entirely. They're

1496
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: in a big mess. And you know what, I don't

1497
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 1: see that lasting. It's not that it's not who the

1498
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: Cowboys me from here to the end of the year.

1499
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: This maybe the kind of game where the Cowboys are

1500
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna say, we're gonna show you love the Bucks. On

1501
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 1: this one. The offensive line has been playing so much

1502
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: better for Jamis Winston. He's able to spread the ball around.

1503
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,720
Speaker 1: I think he threw to seven different receivers last week,

1504
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Cameron brad together. It's just fun to watch,

1505
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: especially with the team they feel like the Cowboys felt

1506
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: a month ago. What happens Bucks the new Cowboys? What

1507
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:05,680
Speaker 1: happens if the Bucks defense does perform extremely well and

1508
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott struggles again? Is this gonna get real? This

1509
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 1: romo talk? You know, I was just thinking the Buccaneers

1510
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: have to like their chances. They're facing a rookie quarterback.

1511
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about that like he's an m VP candidate.

1512
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: He's played like a rookie quarterback the last couple of weeks. Yeah,

1513
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: fewer than two yards passing, and each of his last

1514
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:25,879
Speaker 1: three games a problem too. By the way, DA shouldn't

1515
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: get all the heat. Des Bryant had an awful game

1516
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: against the Giants, and he hasn't been the same players

1517
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: since he came back from the knee. Was the desert

1518
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: Norris Jenkins? Though I think it was it was both,

1519
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,759
Speaker 1: but Des was. I mean both interceptions came on passes

1520
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 1: to him. He had the fumble. He just he wasn't

1521
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,600
Speaker 1: getting any separation. I don't know. The Dallas offense is

1522
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 1: not breaking down against a bunch of total jabronies. They

1523
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: they struggled against the Vikings, which for all the issues,

1524
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 1: still have a very solid defense, and the Giants game

1525
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: is an NFC East primetime matchup. That that's how those

1526
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: games go, and this is how they got our defense

1527
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 1: than either the Vikings or the Giants. Right now, it is,

1528
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 1: but it reminds me of just a week ago when

1529
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 1: we're talking about why are the Patriots gonna lose to

1530
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 1: the Ravens because all this sort of build up on

1531
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 1: one team or the next and then someone just drops

1532
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: a hammer. Dallas also may have the power here to

1533
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: say enough with this business. If we're their their version

1534
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: of a slump other teams would take. If Tom Brady

1535
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 1: was facing the Buccaneers, I feel good about Tom Brady,

1536
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: But this is Dak Prescott. Both of the kissing cousins

1537
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: punted on the question. So I'll throw it to you,

1538
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:33,440
Speaker 1: colle If Dak Prescott struggles badly against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

1539
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: is Tony Romo really become a conversation piece realistic one

1540
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: as we head to the final two weeks of the

1541
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: regular season. No, but you know who does Mark Sanchez?

1542
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: I think that about? You said, what do you think

1543
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 1: about my question. Okay, I'll start calling everyone in the

1544
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 1: building until I get a real answer. I will say, yeah,

1545
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 1: I think I think that one more game DAK struggle.

1546
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: I think it goes from Jason Garrett saying this is

1547
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,759
Speaker 1: a non issue too, you get more hemming and hauling.

1548
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I don't like them doing that,

1549
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: but I could see it happening. I just think you're

1550
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:10,560
Speaker 1: you're you're changing the entire course of your season, and

1551
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: you've got listen. We also we're not in the locker room.

1552
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 1: To you, there is there is a there's a contingent

1553
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: of players in that locker room that are bought in

1554
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 1: on Dak Prescot right now. You can't just make a

1555
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 1: switch without it. But they've been with for so long,

1556
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: so what they don't have any loyalty here. It's a

1557
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: good question. But I think that there are some people

1558
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: that have watched what's happened this year and say, wise,

1559
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: change things after two games where we won one of them,

1560
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: let's move on. Finally, Monday Night football. Um, the Carolina

1561
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Panthers at the Washington Redskins. Uh, Connie Fox, Uh, you

1562
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: know there was a report that Cam Newton had an

1563
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 1: m R I on his throwing shoulder and maybe that,

1564
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 1: uh makes you think, Oh, maybe that explains why he's

1565
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: been so poor with his accuracy this season. So we'll

1566
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,640
Speaker 1: see how he looks in this game. Uh. And the

1567
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,800
Speaker 1: Redskins no room, no margin for error. They gotta win

1568
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: at home against Pathers. Team have been a tough season. Yeah,

1569
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: Josh Norman revenge game. This is wait, we'll see, we'll

1570
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 1: see how I guess I'll be with Calvin Benjamin on

1571
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 1: this one. But four, let's go back to Cam. Four

1572
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 1: straight games he's completing fewer than of his passes. And

1573
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: I think I saw a major change in Cam after

1574
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 1: they lost Ryan Khalil. That was sort of that was

1575
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: a massive hole for them and they can't really fill

1576
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 1: it with anybody else. And it's not that Cam was

1577
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: having a great season before that happened, but after he

1578
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 1: went down camp season became even worse. Outside of a

1579
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: ten game window last season, he's never been an accurate passer,

1580
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: and I think that the offense has a lot of issues.

1581
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart has zero one under yard games this year too. Yeah.

1582
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean they were able to run the ball last

1583
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: year and and you know, take over teams that way. Yeah,

1584
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: I don't see them with much to play to play

1585
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,440
Speaker 1: for in this game. They're going into Washington. You're the Redskins.

1586
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 1: You got this game, you have the Bears in Chicago

1587
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: after that, then you wrap it up with the Giants.

1588
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean you, as you said, Dan, not a single

1589
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,560
Speaker 1: margin for error here. And I think the Redskins have

1590
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 1: have a have a much more interesting, powerful offense that

1591
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: when it shows up, it can take over a team

1592
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: like Carolina that's had a number of massive stinkers on defense.

1593
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: I need to talk to David Ealely about having someone

1594
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: else cover this game Monday night. The last thing I

1595
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 1: want is to hear anything Josh Norman has to say. Ever,

1596
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: I have just written an article that I'm not even

1597
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:33,799
Speaker 1: going to suggest people go read NFL dot com slash

1598
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: Cessler if you do want to read it, though, it

1599
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: is about Josh Norman. So I've been down that road.

1600
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 1: He seems a lot of people the wrong way, not

1601
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: just you. He basically said, was I remember when Steve Smith,

1602
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: when he was with the Ravens, came into Carolina and

1603
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,400
Speaker 1: his revenge game, and everyone said, oh, he's gonna talk

1604
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: and talk, But Steve Smith actually said nothing. He said,

1605
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: that's not how it's gonna be with me, essentially, and

1606
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: so he's already talked and you're on a team, alright.

1607
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, I think, I think Josh Norman's

1608
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: had some very good games this season. He's not been

1609
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: a total disappointment. But this is the game that you know,

1610
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 1: make it happen now or please stop talking? All right now,

1611
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 1: I'll stop talking. Did you did you lock something? Sorry?

1612
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: Oh Dan? Oh oh yeah, I left you on your lock.

1613
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 1: You know that wasn't personal, it was more Remember before

1614
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: when we started to talk about the locks today, there

1615
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: was one that I was thinking of. It was the

1616
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys on Tuesday, So it was really that's where my

1617
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 1: heart always. I can see why you know, you've locked

1618
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: up and unlocked about six teams at this point, why

1619
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: you would be you know, searching for your final answer. Um,

1620
