19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: heroes coming up soon, but Greg will start here. This

20
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: is the Steelers team everyone that says we want a

21
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: real fight in the a f C. This is the

22
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Steelers team that we saw tonight that can take down

23
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Yeah, you saw a little bit of everything

24
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: in the Steelers because you saw the frustrating part of

25
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the first half where they couldn't move

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: the ball and they didn't quite finish drives, and it

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: was just a little disjointed even though they had the lead.

28
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the final scores forty seventeen,

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: it's easy to forget this was a one score game

30
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: entering the fourth quarter. It would have been a two

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: point game entering the fourth quarter if not for Delaney

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Walker dropping a wide open touch at the end of

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: the third quarter. So it was a competitive, interesting game

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: for three quarters. But then the better team one and

35
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers just have too much going for them. And

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: the difference between the two halves is the offensive line

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh, which has just been okay this year, not great,

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: really took over in the second half, gave Ben a

39
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: lot of time. He played outstanding after halftime twenty twenty

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: three for a hundred and eighty four yards and three touchedow.

41
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: They just had everything rolling and you're right when they're

42
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: looking good. They have more talent, I think than any

43
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. I think they're the most talented

44
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: roster top to bottom offense defense, and I I don't

45
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: disagree with that at all. You've been saying that the

46
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: Steelers are the best team in the league, and I

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: have been disagreeing with that, and a lot of people

48
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: will disagree with you, and maybe they haven't played that way,

49
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: but that's how I sight that there. That's their ceiling

50
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: and and that's that's what we saw in the second half.

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: It was almost like, and I know, Marcus Mariotta, who

52
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: by the way, Tytoons, you know, come back to those

53
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: guys with the perform, good pay for them getting you

54
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: getting rid of that Moniker for and it's not gonna happen.

55
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: And uh they he hits the deep touchdown pass that

56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: you heard. But after that, it kind of was like

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: the Titans brought a knife to a gunfight, like they

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: got the they got the Steelers unnoticed with that touchdown.

59
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: The Steelers go right back down the field, score another touchdown.

60
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: Then Delanie Delanie Walker makes that drop in the end

61
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: zone and at that point the game is over. That's

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: a four point play, four point drop, and then the

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: Steelers just walk away with the game. And it just

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: shows you and I wrote about it this week, what

65
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: happens when uh Levan Bell, Antonio Brown, Juju Smith, Schuster

66
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: and then you find a way to start um getting

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: the most out of or something onto Martavis Bryant. What

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: can happen to mix? They have not scored thirty points

69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: all season until tonight and that's a major disappointment, and

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: then they drop a forty burger and make you think, Wow,

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: what happens if they get it together for the back

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: end of the Suster is such a difference maker. He

73
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: made one of the key plays in the game, which

74
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: was a third down conversion of very difficult catch and

75
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: he's made a lot of those difficult catches over the

76
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: last few weeks. That kept the drive going where they

77
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: finally finished the red zone drive. It was early in

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: the second half and the Titans at that point we're

79
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: playing him pretty even. I mean, the yardage was leaning

80
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: towards the Titans because they were still in that game.

81
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Despite Mariota making two big mistakes with two interceptions in

82
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: the first half, and then he threw two more after halftime,

83
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: So forget about it. But the reason why the Steelers

84
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: are so talented because their defense can keep them in

85
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: games like that. Cameron Hayward and Stephen to it. We're

86
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: making plays the secondary even without Joe Hayden and Mike

87
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Mitchell ended up having a very good night and they

88
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: were setting up the offense who just knocked it down.

89
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, not gonna like to turn this into a

90
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: Mariotta hate fest, but that's terrible. It was a bad game. Actually,

91
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: he showed a lot. He showed why you liked them too.

92
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he had ten yards per attempt and he

93
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: had a lot of beautiful but then just the mistakes.

94
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: Do you see it there? I just don't think he's

95
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: there yet, and I don't think the tunes are there yet,

96
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: and we saw I think tonight was kind of a

97
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: referendum on where they stack up right now. They're not

98
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: even close to beating a team like the Steelers on

99
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: the road. Uh I I don't I still don't trust

100
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: their coaching staff. I still think he'd be I don't

101
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: know what their what their offense is trying to do

102
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: melding his college thing in the in the way it

103
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: just doesn't. I don't think it's working staff and the

104
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: running games. They're not getting much help from the running game. Uh.

105
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: And one one more thing from me, a little shout

106
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: out to Antonio Brown, who we almost take for granted.

107
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: How incredibly productive he's been for the past what seven

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: years or so now? And uh, good stat from ANDREWS

109
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: Siciliano on Twitter. He's twenty nine years old. Brown, he

110
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: already has more career receptions than fourteen wide receivers and

111
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: tight ends in the Hall of Fame. And yes, the

112
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: game is different now than it was a lot of

113
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: those games in the Hall. But that's an incredible staff.

114
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: That just shows you how special this guy is. He

115
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest ever played at the position.

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know if we quite give him enough.

117
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: Yeah that I think that's fair. And it's not one

118
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: where it's just stats. You just watch and you can

119
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: see how he's the greatest and his practice habits are legendary,

120
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: very similar when you hear about him compared to Jerry

121
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: Rice and some of the just the style and the

122
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: play I saw something he's I know it's it's only fantasy,

123
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: but he's the number one fantasy receiver in terms of

124
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: points perception four straight years. He's the number one, like

125
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 1: one one one one. He's the guy every single time

126
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: and it and it is amazing. That's why I think

127
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: you should be afraid of this team. That said the

128
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: Titans defense, I don't trust them at all. And there

129
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: they are a paper tiger six and four And this

130
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: is gonna get on some radars in this room. I

131
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: have a feeling because their schedule in the next four

132
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: weeks is so easy. They'll probably win three of out

133
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: of those four if they could even win all four,

134
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: and so they'll have a good record even though they

135
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: haven't really shown that much. Um yes and Brown helmet

136
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: catch for Brown two. That was cool and one of

137
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: the all time bad beats and fantasy if you have

138
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Levan Bell on that touchdown that got called back and

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: then you get buried with a play action touchdown, h

140
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: to the tight end. Now, if you're a big bend

141
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: fantasy owner like Greg and I, it wasn't we enjoyed it.

142
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: That was nice? Okay, So that's that game. Oh I

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: did lock it up. You locked it up. You got it,

144
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, after some of the bad blood between us

145
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Um, I just want to say that now

146
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: it does look like a really a huge mismatch, But

147
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: at the time the Titans are feeling good about themselves.

148
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: But the Steelers said in our class, I've picked some

149
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: heavy favorites this year that have lost games. So at

150
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: least you picked a favorite that one. All right, So

151
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: there we go. Let's now move on to the rest

152
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: of the show and preview the rest of the week

153

Speaker 1: Headed Shoulders. My name is Dan Hansas, and I'm joined

157
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: by room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling in

158
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: a smoking jacket, and Greg Girls and all what's up boys?

159
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: Hey Dan, it's a sweater, but doesn't it look like

160
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: doesn't it look like west could have a pipe sticking

161
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: out of his mouth right now? And maybe a glass

162
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: of scotch. I know he's on a brown booze drinker,

163
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: but has that look, doesn't it? It's my professor West outfit,

164
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: silk pajamas, maybe that whole thing got the glasses. If

165
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: he just gathered around, West is going to dispense some

166
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: football wisdom to all his subject Let him regale you

167
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: around the hearth. Usually a scientist, today Professor Westling about

168
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: to school everyone on the NFL in week eleven. You

169
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: heard at the top of the show. Uh, Greg and

170
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: I are doing a little tightened Steelers chatter. But there's

171
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: so much more to get to this week week eleven.

172
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: Here we are double digit week mark. You know it's

173
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: almost over. You know you're on the beach and can'tcoon.

174
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: You could see it now, can't you. Yeah, I don't

175
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: think that we're anywhere close to that happening weeks season

176
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: starts in the preseason. We're in week seventeen. I've done

177
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: the matter. We are. It is getting down with Some

178
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: of these teams are starting to become massively irrelevant. I'm

179
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: gonna try this. Usually I like to look at it before,

180
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna hang some oney in here. Four teams

181
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: on by thirty two minus four is divided by two fourteen.

182
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: One game already played thirteen to talk about, right, Yeah,

183
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: It's been a long time since I've been that nervous

184
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: I could see that the gear spinning in your hand

185
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: that last bye weeks of the year is that it

186
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: actually that's it this year, Mark another sign of you

187
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: can't coon spring break Hancoon doesn't really strike me as

188
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: your ideal place to be spending. We also, yeah, you

189
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: have a very disjointed view of my bank account. I

190
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: could see Mark maybe doing like um, hitting up like

191
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: a college haunt to try to recapture the youth spark. Yeah,

192
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: one of those vacations he takes by himself, solo bay case,

193
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: and maybe this is one of them where it's like

194
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here with a bunch of nineteen

195
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: year olds doing the beer bong and everything. Someone is

196
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: extremely generous with the occasional solo trips. This would get

197
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: red flagged immediately. I got arrested when I went to Cancun,

198
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: by the way, for what. I can't get into that

199
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: right now, but it was it felt it felt wrong.

200
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: It's just like it might be murder. It was unjust

201
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: I did. Actually it was just the way that the

202
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: cops worked down there. But I saw two or three

203
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: things that I will never forget in Cancount's leave it right,

204
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: so we save it for the Cancoon podcays let's stick

205
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: a pin in it. Another reason to look forward to

206
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: the off season. But for now, let's uh look ahead

207
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: to all the games in week eleven, Sunday and Monday

208
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: include We're going to Mexico. Speaking a cancoon, We're going

209
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: to Mexico this week, aren't we. Do we have any

210
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: Mexican listeners? Oh yeah, plenty of them. Alright, everybody comes down, guys.

211
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: So speaking with authority on the issue, let's start though

212
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: in Chicago. The heart of America, Dan buying time as

213
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: he folds the research packet. Right, that's there, that's their

214
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: tourism part of America. The heart of America. That's Middle America. Right, Yeah,

215
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: it's definitely middle America. That's the heart of America. Okay,

216
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: you're correct, Dan, You bleeding heart liberals. The heart of

217
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: America is right in the middle. Okay. So why is

218
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis the heart of America? I don't know. Chicago

219
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: is just more of the heart. Um, let's talk about

220
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: the Lions Detroit. Now there's an American city, hardworking. The

221
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions are five and four, coming off back to

222
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: back winds over the Packers and Browns. A bit of

223
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: a scare against the brown But now they get the

224
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: Bears on the road, and we'll start with Mark Sessler.

225
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: Mark the Bears, they can't seem to get this offense going,

226
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: whether it's Mike Lennon or Mitchell Robinsky. Well, yeah, and

227
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: I think they should have expected that to be the

228
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: case when a John Fox is running the operation and

229
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: has enough sway over the offensive coordinator to keep Trabinsky

230
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: completely clamped down for the first month of his career.

231
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: You saw him open it up a little bit last week.

232
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: But you're the good quarterbacks that are young, that seemed

233
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: to grow, have weapons around the Deshaun Watson had DeAndre Hopkins,

234
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz takes a big leap Jared Goffus as well,

235
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: because they've surrounded those quarterbacks with appropriate talent in year

236
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: two and Trabinsky just has very little to work with

237
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: when the running game is not working, that's your hope

238
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: this week. The Browns ran for nearly two d yards

239
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: against the Lions one week ago, and maybe the Bears

240
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: with Jordan Howard can hope for the same. I think

241
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: you have to ask if the coaching staff is really

242
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: doing Trabinsky a favor when the Bears lead the NFL

243
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: and negative rushing place that really helped being Mitch ro Biscuit.

244
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: He had a lot of long yardage situations last week

245
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: because of negative plays on running because of a lot

246
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: of pre snap penalties. So that's just poor coaching and

247
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: poor players. And then like their number one receivers don

248
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: trelle Inman. This is a guy who essentially was given

249
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: away to them and immediately comes in and that's their

250
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: number one receiver. It's like, you're only gonna be so

251
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: good with that group. That said, they're playing Detroit and

252
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: I look at Detroit and it's like, what's their defensive identity?

253
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: They don't really have one. When a thirty one year

254
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: old safety Glover Quinn, who's having a great season is

255
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: your best defensive player, It's like, it wouldn't surprise me

256
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: if they just are tougher than the Lions and you

257
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: dial up one of those perfect John Fox game where

258
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: it keeps it low scoring and they do run for

259
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: a lot. Chicago's defense has been for real. I mean

260
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: they they they're generating turnovers, which is what you need

261
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: for that offense to get to try to put some

262
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: some you know, ball ball control offense and theory with them.

263
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I just I look at this

264
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: Lions team and what depresses me is you're looking at

265
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's sexiest seas and this guy has been fantastic

266
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: And in other years the Lions can hope to get

267
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: into that last wild card spot at nine and seven,

268
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: not this time around in the top heavy NFC, and

269
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Stafford's heroics are completely lost on this campaign. They could

270
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: definitely because you know, ask any Lions fan, they'll have

271
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: regrets that they didn't maybe make the most of Barry

272
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: Sanders and now you have Matt Stafford there and they

273
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: continue to be a middling outfit. Some people that aren't

274
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: as big a fan of Matt Stafford might say he's

275
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: played a role role in that, but I'm I'm kind

276
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: of with you, guys, And it does feel like, yes,

277
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: they're on the outside looking in. It's gonna be tough

278
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: to get that wild card um spot and they're unlikely

279
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: to win the division. But even if they made the playoffs,

280
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: what's the ceiling with this team? Doesn't it feel like

281
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: there's not a big difference in this year's team and

282
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: last year's team exactly, And but the NFC is different,

283
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: and that's why they're They're not good enough where I

284
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: know their schedules easy, but they're not good enough where

285
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: I think they win all the games they should, including

286
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: maybe this this week. It wouldn't surprise me. I mean

287
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: that the Bears intercepted Stafford four times last year, only

288
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: you have one UH touchdown to them, Like, it wouldn't

289
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: surprise me whatsoever if the Bears end up winning this game.

290
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on the Jacksonville Jaguars. They are

291
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: now stacking wins. We talked about it last week. It's

292
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: time to stack wins, and that's what they're doing three

293
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: straight after that UH narrow victory over the Chargers UH

294
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: at home. Now they travel to Cleveland, and the schedule says,

295
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: hey keep stacking wins. Jacks Chris Westling. The Browns UH

296
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: showed some fight last week against Detroit, but on paper,

297
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: this is one of the bigger mismatches of the year, right, Yeah,

298
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are looking for reasons

299
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: for the Browns to pull off an upset here, especially

300
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: with two Shaan Gibson kind of needling the Browns and

301
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: predicting an OH in sixteen sun Mark's radar that they're

302
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: not effecting him. It's a Cleveland has made their own

303
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: they they've made their own bed at this point. And

304
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: I know people are talking about, oh, it's hard to

305
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: beat the Browns because they are a top half team

306
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: in terms of total talent. I don't see that. I

307
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: don't see the miss top half in total talent. And

308
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: I see a Jaguars team that is better in every

309
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: single way, and not by a little bit. This is

310
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: a lopsided matchup. I expect the Jaguars defense to absolutely

311
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: dominate the Browns offense in this game. I absolutely agree

312
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about a team. Some of these defenses, they're

313
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: better at home for some reason, they're not good on

314
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: the road. The Jacksonville defense on the road has allowed

315
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown in three of fifty possessions, and they lead

316
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: the league in turnovers on the road. And I think

317
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: that you're going into a stadium that does not has

318
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: not packed a punch or been tough to play in

319
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: in two plus decades, and Jacksonville on on the flip side,

320
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna do enough on offense. And Cleveland turns the

321
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: ball over more than any team in the league. I

322
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: just don't think there's anything you can point to and say, oh,

323
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland's got some sort of achilles heel they can pick

324
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars. I agree with that, but I don't

325
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: know great last week. I mean, he he did everything

326
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: possible to give that game away. The only reason that

327
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: they wont is because the guy dropped the pick six

328
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: and because the Chargers couldn't get it first down or else.

329
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: The narrative all week would be Blake Boardles blew it.

330
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: Because he did blow it. Well, the game will need

331
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: six to six for that to be right. So the

332
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: case could be that Deshaun Kaiser is coming off by

333
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: far his best game, and I know he's not playing

334
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: the Lions again this week, but he played a great game.

335
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: I thought they simplified things he it's it shows a

336
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: curse their season is is that the game is tied

337
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: and he goes out with an injury and he comes

338
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: back in in their town. Whatever it was, fight scene points.

339
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: It's like he played by far the best three quarters

340
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: of his life. That was kind of what we saw

341
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: that we got excited about. I agree with you on

342
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: that that he played. I texted Mark about that last

343
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: night because it made me think after watching it that

344
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: whatever Tayshaun Gibson says, I think the Browns will find

345
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: a way to win a game, because they already showed

346
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: last week that they could put together some stretches of

347
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: play and they'll steal. And I don't I don't think

348
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: there this has been a cursed season. I think they

349
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: very much have earned this record personally. But I think Kaiser,

350
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: you see what had everybody's so excited in August and flashes.

351
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: You see it a little bit here and there, and

352
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: I think you saw it the whole game last He

353
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: played a good game. What they have done in the

354
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, which I think they should have

355
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 1: done from the beginning, is loud Duke Johnson Moore carries

356
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. They do get Corey Coleman back.

357
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: I still don't like the match up for Cleveland, right,

358
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's uncanny how every pickup the

359
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: Jaguars had is working. It's not just Calais Campbell, who's

360
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: in the mix for a defensive Player of the Year,

361
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: it's Barry Church. It's a joy like everyone they pick

362
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: up has been good. Klais Campbell wouldn't even be my

363
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: top pick for Defensive Player of the Year on that defense,

364
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey would be fair and I to complete a

365
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: pass against this defense is one of the hardest things

366
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: to do. It shouldn't be that hard to complete one pass.

367
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: But the Jaguars defense is incredible. And for all the

368
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: Deshaun Kaiser love that he's getting in this room was

369
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: one week? It was one week. How many times has

370
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: he been bench and he still leads the NFL and interceptions? Oh,

371
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: I know. I'm just saying he had He's had a

372
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: miserable season. That one game was so far better than

373
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: any other game he's had. Um and the jet After

374
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: watching the game last I sent out a tweet Jaguars,

375
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: I'll give something. I'll give the Jaguars fans some love

376
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: for an expansion for guys um and for a fan

377
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: base that went through years and years of ugly, ugly

378
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: seasons under Gus Bradley and before were that even Uh,

379
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: they're really passionate way into it. So when I'm watching

380
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: that game and I'm seeing Blake Bortle's self destructing in

381
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of that game and they still survive,

382
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: what I tweeted was, doesn't it still feel like wild

383
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: Card weekend, Blake Bortles is gonna break the heart of

384
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and I I think they're gonna get to

385
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they're in a good, great position obviously

386
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: if they beat the Browns to get there. But I

387
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: still feel like this guy is gonna kill them and

388
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: that will probably be the impetus for change. Went after

389
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: you or something or yeah, there were some so a

390
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: lot of people agreed that are outside Jags nation or

391
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: the they go into the offseason, they absolutely will find

392
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: I'll give them a little of after the direct they've

393
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: seen for the last five or six years. They have

394
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: a home field advantage, that crowd has been going nuts,

395
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: especially in that last game and everything. So they're excited.

396
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: Let them be excited. Let's um, should we Let's do it.

397
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: Let's let them be excited. It's to say it. I liked.

398
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: I like that the Jaguars hasn't killed their spirit over

399
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: the last it has with some fan base and grain

400
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: of salt because his name was like Psycho Jacks fans.

401
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: Some guy on Twitter was like when I when I

402
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: went back and forth them a little bit on the topic,

403
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: he was like, uh, talk to me. In January. I

404
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: had a run in with him as well. I I

405
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: I saved that tweet. All right. Moving on, the Baltimore

406
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: Ravens are four and five, Uh, coming out of a

407
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: bye week. Uh. They have a pulse in the a

408
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: f C because of that number six playoff spot is

409
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: wide open right now, and now they get what looked

410
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: like probably a terrible matchup for them Greg a couple

411
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: of months ago. Now they get to go on the

412
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: road and face our boy, Brett Hunley. Hunley did some

413
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: things last week, but speaking of the shan Kaiser, maybe

414
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: getting too much love in this room. Maybe there's a

415
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: little bit too much love for Brett Hunley's performance last week. Yeah,

416
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: I heard a lot about okay, breakout game for Hunley

417
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: finally shot up. Okay, alright, let's go, let's watch us.

418
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: He had two throws in that game, two really good

419
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: throws which helped them win the game. And for a

420
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: young quarterback, he deserves credit for that, and that's fine.

421
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: But otherwise it looked like the same bread that we've

422
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: seen and this time. I know the Bears defense is solid,

423
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: but they did a good job protecting Hunley and the

424
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: secondary in Chicago is not too great. This is a

425
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: much much different story. I respect this Ravens defense. John

426
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: Harbaugh quietly has one of the best records coming off

427
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: of by usually don't put too much into that stuff.

428
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: It's something like twelve and four. I trust this coaching

429
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: staff to improve this team, and this matchup for Hunley

430
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: in the Packers offense is dreadful. I can't see them scoring.

431
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: I just look at the game like this and it's

432
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: just you picked the best unit, and there was one.

433
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: It's Baltimore's defense by far in this game. And I

434
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: look at green Bay and say, you don't have Aaron

435
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: Jones anymore. He's out for what three plus weeks? And

436
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: green Bay, to me, it's it's they have. They haven't

437
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: missed the playoffs since two thousand and eight, where you're

438
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: gonna miss it this time? So we we already forked

439
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: them at five. I don't think they're even I don't

440
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: think that's on their radar, but potentially it's on the

441
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: It's on the board on the refrigerator in the break room. Dan,

442
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: I heard you kind of wondering a couple of podcasts ago,

443
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: like what's what's Where's Joe Flacco at? In his career.

444
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: Now I've done a deep dive study on him. Professor

445
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: Wesling puts down the pipe and gets to work. Joe Flacco,

446
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: remember when he came into the league and he was

447
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: kind of sneaky athletic. He'd takeoff running and he looked

448
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: for his gump, but he would get away from pressure.

449
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: He's not that guy anymore since the a c l

450
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: in the back injury. He now has the skill set

451
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: of your average Oswaller Savage Mettenberger Weed, and he's a

452
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: statue in the pocket. He's mechanical. He there's no kind

453
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: of like, uh, improvisation to his game whatsoever. And if

454
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: you let him sit back there and throw behind a

455
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: great offensive line with receivers who can get open, he

456
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: can still hurt you. But he's one of the worst

457
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league now and it's because he doesn't move.

458
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: I do wonder, though, do you think that this this

459
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: season specifically like the best. We never really heard that

460
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: the back was completely healthy. And remember when Romo was

461
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: dealing with that that he just he he looked like

462
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: a completely different athlete. And do we get a better

463
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco next season? I'm not arguing that we do,

464
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: but it just seems like he'd be healthy. Back injuries,

465
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: if you follow sports, are devastating. My boyhood hero, Don

466
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: Mattingley never the same. Larry Bird had ended his career.

467
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: He's an all time legend. Tony Romo jacked up his career.

468
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just don't get back from the last game before.

469
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: As I said, back the last game before the bye

470
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: they're on, they're having third and ten, third and longs

471
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: where he's just throwing one yard passes right away. He's

472
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: not even holding the ball and waiting to see if

473
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: someone comes come up it. It's just like, let's let's

474
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: throw a dink and dunk right away. This is a

475
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: guy with the one of the biggest arms in the league.

476
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: It's tough to watch well. The coaching staff has to

477
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: have a quick strike offense because he can't get out

478
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: of the way of pressure, and he gets rid of

479
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: the ball because he doesn't want to get hit. And

480
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: yet when when I look at this game, I do

481
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: think maybe they'll open it up. He's been asking for it,

482
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: and they are a little healthier, Maybe they get Danny

483
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: would head back. And one underrated aspect here that you

484
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: guys haven't considered are the football gods, because unfortunately the

485
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: flex Nola movement was not successful. I consider it successful,

486
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: had over three thousand retweets, ten thousand likes, you know,

487
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: lots of hashtag humble bragging here, Greg St Saints Rams

488
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: was not moved to Sunday Night. They're gonna keep Brett

489
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: Hunley in the Packers, and the football gods aren't gonna

490
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: like this keeping Brett Hunley in half in in prime time,

491
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: and so they're gonna make the Packers lose by an

492
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: this week and have that Sunday night game be at

493
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: a Dog. And that's why I'm locking this up. I

494
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: like that right. Assume that Greg greg has lived a

495
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: life for the football Dogs. Smile on on him and

496
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: his activity here. That that's the football gods. Now I

497
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: have a complete review of the football gods. The football

498
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: gods do not seem kind spirited in my in my worldview,

499
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: uh me either? Mark you. That's Arcatampos behind the glass,

500
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: filling in for the great Lindsay Bolton's cannon. Luis Can

501
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: a little under the weather. Are you're doing okay? Doing okay?

502
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Erica is doing amazing work on the NFL Pick Them

503
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: Show week after week. You gotta check it out. It's

504
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: on three times a weekend, maybe four four, four times

505
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: early check your local listings, but definitely on first thing

506
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. You would think we would have the times.

507
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: It gets better with that third and fourth watch. You

508
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: gotta watch all does well if you should come by

509
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: Fridays when we have to watch the show forty times

510
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: down before it gets sent out, you really love it,

511
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: then hard pass um, Let's move on. Uh here's a

512
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: bummer of the game. Marccessor. The Arizona Cardinals four and

513
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: five couldn't figure out a way to beat the Seahawks

514
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: last Thursday night, and now they go to Houston to

515
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: face the three and six Texans, two teams that had

516
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: a chance if only, speaking of those football gods, decided

517
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: not to wipe away many of their premium players to injury.

518
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this game yesterday and it uh

519
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: brings to mind another concept of a rule change that

520
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: would benefit fans and really all humans. Uh well, I

521
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: would I would set this game at this point in

522
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: the season to to twenty minute running halves. The clock

523
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: runs okay, and this is out and this is the

524
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: Texans fans, You're out you're out in the middle of Texas.

525
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: You put a nice, big country music venue at halftime,

526
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: let them have a great concert sandwich with two very

527
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: quick twenty minute running halves where you get this football

528
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: product off the field and you move on to next week.

529
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: Brooks and Done Dar I don't know the names of

530
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: any of them. If I'm Bruce Ariums, I'm thinking, hey,

531
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: we're four and five. This could be my last year

532
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: as a coach. Feels like that's short changing him and

533
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: his potential. You know, well, you're little. Your little football

534
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: gods want want good football according to you, so they

535
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: don't want this game. Others would say it's massively disrespectful

536
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: to the players and in the game itself. I didn't

537
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: say it was a rock solid theory. I like it though.

538
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: We should, especially if we can get Brooks and Done involved.

539
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: We might bog You might have Blaine Gabbert involved. Looks

540
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: like Blaine Gabbert's going to be starting in NFL. Anybody

541
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: he had started over Drew Stanton from the beginning. What

542
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: were they doing here this week? Standing is bad enough

543
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, Why do you want to try to

544
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: play him with a bum knee? Is that area means

545
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: you loyal to Stanton. I feel you put the Cardinals

546
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: at a disadvantage by not putting the much more athletic

547
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert, who he called a future starter in a

548
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: high ceiling quarterback Although for the critic, Stanton was not

549
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: terrible against the Seahawks, he was okay. He's got some

550
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: kaepernicky in him, where he only has one speed on

551
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: his throws. They are I think that's a totally different game.

552
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: If he hits a few throws and he couldn't hit

553
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: he couldn't hit throws. I guess I have such low expectations,

554
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: like he's the bet whoever starts for the Cardinals is

555
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: better than the Texans starter. And the Cardinals have been

556
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: very unlucky. They lost d J. Humphries, who has been

557
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: playing pretty well for limit left tackle. They lost Tivan

558
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: Brands for this season, who's been playing very well, probably

559
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: better than Honey Badger at safety. So it's it's not

560
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: even just Carson Palmer. They've had a lot of injuries.

561
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting to hear rap Sheets say

562
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: that people around the league are excited to watch Blaine

563
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: Gabbert in this offense because of how he did in

564
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: the preseason, and Bruce arians reputation with quarterbacks that they

565
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: think he might be salvage one quick thing on all

566
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: set with Blaine Gabbert personally, but you know what he

567
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: know he had some flashes with the Niners too, on

568
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: a really bad team. I know I've heard all that.

569
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: All right, we won't. We won't Tom Savage last week

570
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: two picks and two lost fumbles. Okay, he blew the

571
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: team up. And this is not count the fact that

572
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: he had a pick six called back by penalty and

573
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: he almost threw another pick six? How poorly can you

574
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: play at quarterback? After spending an entire summer hearing the

575
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: Tom Savage was the answer for this team, That's what

576
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: they were saying about their own team. That is hideous.

577
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: I just don't. I cannot do the Tom Savage experience

578
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: anymow everybody everybody's I think. I think we're with you.

579
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: I think Texas fans are are with you. Everyone's on

580
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: the same page of time. More mini camp and o

581
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: t a thank you over quarterbacks who've never been thank you.

582
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: I feel like that's our biggest takeaway from this season.

583
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: And it's like the fifth season we've done the show

584
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: together is we're not working in July and August. We're

585
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: just not and we're going to talk to the shadowy

586
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: league figures as it's not to the preseason. Yeah, absolutely,

587
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: especially the preseason. You know what I see happening will

588
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: be working and we will fall for all these narratives.

589
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Once again, let's we have no choice. It's it's part

590
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: of the paycheck is to write about it. Let's move on.

591
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Jets, but they still

592
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: stink their three and six fourth in the NFC South.

593
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: That's the last place they travel uh to Miami to

594
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: face the Dolphins, who are um riding a three game

595
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: losing streak. Actually, while we're here, it's time to add

596
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: to the list of the Dune the Miami Dupins and

597
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: the yachts the Dune Verbancos. Add them to the list.

598
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: I think we're up to thirteen and we we are

599
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: saying that the Dolphins, Broncos, and Jets have no chance

600
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: of making the playoffs. The fork in their back, Goodbye,

601
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: Goodbye Miami. Somehow four and five and yet dead last

602
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: in Football Outsiders Metrics behind the hind a win list

603
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: team that's tough. To do and the other team's just

604
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: if you're tracking at home, stick a forking him. We

605
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: right off teams, no chats and making classes. We get

606
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: one wrong or more than one wrong, we will make

607
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: a donation to the city where that team plays. So

608
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: these three teams join the Browns, Niners, Giants, Colts, Bucks, Bears, Texans,

609
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: Bengals and Packers. And it's funny because this matchup is

610
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: so bad that I guess no one would be shocked

611
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: at Miami one look at this song take off. I

612
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: would be shocked, you would be. This team is terrible.

613
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: But Ryan Fitzpatrick's the other quarterback. The Dolphins are offensive

614
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: to football. Well, I feel it the same way about

615
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks. Honestly, this where we thought Tampa Bay would be.

616
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: In Miami coming off a playoff season. This has to

617
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: be two of the most disappointing teams you could possibly

618
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: conjure up. Tampa Bay coming out of hard knocks. We're

619
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: talking about them is winning the NFC South. They are

620
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: like the third fourth worst team in football right now.

621
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: It occurred to me that we probably haven't said one

622
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: nice thing about the Buccaneers in many weeks, So I've

623
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: got to I've got two nice things. Lavante David seems

624
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: like it kind of went away for a few years.

625
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: Is like, this is the guy outside linebacker and he's back.

626
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: And then Chris Godwin. I love this wide receiver. I

627
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: think he is gonna be a legit like good NFL

628
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: starter from what he's shown. They gotta get him on

629
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: the field more. Uh. And when my one last thought,

630
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: and it's a very heavy charge to throw. And you

631
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: know we're on the outside, so I'm not gonna say

632
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: this is the truth. Kind of looked like the Dolphins

633
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: quit a little bit on Monday night. Well how could

634
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: that be because they traded jag I away to send

635
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: a message? Well, and I was that's the second part

636
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: of my point, West, And that's it's very great that

637
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: you brought that up, because you know, when you got

638
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 1: a head coach, I got him gaze you kind of like, oh,

639
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I admire his mox. He's not afraid to stick it

640
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: to his guys, even in a press conference, Like I

641
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: wonder if that act gets tired after a while. And

642
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: what do you what do you say when you're teeing

643
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: off on the guys when you're three and two or whatever,

644
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: what do you say, when the season is now actually

645
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: floating away and it doesn't look like the efforts there,

646
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's sneaky as heiny is a little

647
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: getting warm if this season continues to devolve, I feel

648
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: like a gi e when when he was playing well

649
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: and it was more last year than this year, was

650
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: the identity of that offense and they are an offense

651
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: you cannot find any sort of d n A, any

652
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: identity to Miami. They're impossible to watch. You know, it

653
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: was happy Ryan Townehill because he's probably probably gonna stay

654
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: there now. Right after the performance from Cutler, Yeah yeah, alright,

655
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: let's move on the oh the team of around the NFL,

656
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: and we bad job by us. They're they're playing great

657
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: the Rams right now. Uh And we didn't even call

658
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: it out after their absolute uh latest uh destruction of

659
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: a team against the Texans last week. So let's shout

660
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: out to the Ramps, who were doing great. I think

661
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: they're like four and one now since being named the

662
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: team of a t L. Now they traveled this where

663
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: he gets real, what's the blowouts too? I mean we're

664
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: just taking these Rams blouts for granted since they were

665
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: named the team of a t L They lost sixteen

666
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: ten the first week, and you know a little team

667
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: of a t hell sniff going on. I took offense

668
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: to that. But since then, seventeen over the Texans, over

669
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars at Jacksonville, thirty three zip against the Cardinals,

670
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: went to their bike, came out of their by, dropped

671
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: a fifty burger on the Giants in the meadow ends,

672
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: and thirty three seven over the Texans. And now they

673
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: get Greg the Vikings. So a matchup of two seven

674
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: and two teams. I'll start with this question, Greg, Jared

675
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: goff Um obviously a distant in the m v P

676
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: race third place, I would say fourth place where everyone

677
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: put him. I would not put him in the top twenty.

678
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even put him first on his team. Yeah,

679
00:33:54,360 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's just by Jared. All Right, I mean,

680
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: comeback player, Dan, you know, throwing this out scientists, scientists,

681
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: I apologize all of his m v P love into

682
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: the Sean McVeigh for Coach of the Year bucket. Okay,

683
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: but you want to get after Girley, I'm not really

684
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: into that either, but I'll take it. Can I apologize?

685
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 1: I apologize Anyway, Jared Goff is having a really really

686
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: nice season, and now here's a really really big test

687
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: against the Vikings on the road. Yeah, And I think

688
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: we talked about it on the last show that they're

689
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: playing the four basically next best teams in the NFC.

690
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: They are the center of the NFL world. And I

691
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: think Sam Farmer, the dean of Los Angeles football scribes

692
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: out here, pointed out, like, who would have thought a

693
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: year ago case Keenum versus Jared Goff is the is

694
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: the game of the week a year ago at this

695
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: time we're talking about that as a possible quarterback change,

696
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: and everything's a disaster. And Goff is a guy who's

697
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: doing everything that they're asking he as a couple you know,

698
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: moments each week. And the question kind of I'm looking

699
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: at what this game is if they really get pressure

700
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: on him, If that front four for Minnesota, which has

701
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: been so good and they think they're getting Everson Griffin

702
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: back this week, gets pressure on him, how does he respond?

703
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: Because by the numbers under pressure, he's actually has one

704
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: of the lowest completion percentage and some of the worst

705
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: numbers in the league under pressure, And so that to

706
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: me is the key for Minnesota. I I said this

707
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: last week, he's thrown into the biggest windows in football

708
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: thanks to Sean McVeigh and his play calling and his

709
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: route concepts. He before this three game john against bad teams,

710
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: he had gone four straight games under six completion rate.

711
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: I like what Jared ghost when he's hitting some deep

712
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: throws really well too, beauty, But he's not playing at

713
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: a level like m v P quarterback now. I think

714
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: he's a second year quarterback who's playing that sort of

715
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: role where you're making sure he gets all the support

716
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: that's called great coach. And it's nothing against Golf. Well,

717
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: we we spent the big chunk of the off season

718
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: always asking what is it we need to see from

719
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: golf to be impressed by his second campaign, and he's

720
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: done that, no questions. I look at a guy like Lesnie.

721
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: There are other general managers around the league that right

722
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: now are attached to coaching staffs or issues in general

723
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: where they're embattled and you're wondering if they're gonna be

724
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: out of a job soon. It is worthwhile taking a

725
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: look at what he's done. The courage. Uh that he's

726
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: lucky he kept the job Number one, but when you

727
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: get rid of this whole Jeff Fisher experience, you hire

728
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: what looks like in Sean McVeigh, not just a coach

729
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: of the year, but maybe someone with what we've seen

730
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: so far that could be there for fifteen years plus.

731
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: And you have a quarterback that you compare with him.

732
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: The franchise Peyton Vibe with the energy as a completely

733
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: different feel around this team that a year ago was unwatchable,

734
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: the idea that rams Viking and for all the teams

735
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: that I know, I dump on a bunch of these

736
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: teams at this point because they don't believe in them.

737
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: The NFC has been a delight. It's it's it's morphed

738
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: into a fascinating conference to watch, and you gotta ride

739
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: with it. And they announced since we last recorded that

740
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: good point, the Vikes and Mike Zimmer announced that case

741
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: Keenum is going to be the start. There was a

742
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: report from Jay Glazer that the Vikings were very tempted

743
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 1: to go with Bridgewater, and we've gotten through that. We've

744
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: this show has gone through this enough. I think the

745
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: Bridgewater Keenum debate, we could talk about that another time.

746
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: I didn't get the voice of my opinion, but let's

747
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: hear it. Let's hear it. Well, we have a little

748
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: insider on insider crime here, because Jay Glazer reported the

749
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: Viking see Teddy as the franchise and they were tempted

750
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: to play him. Rap Sheet reported His sources say they

751
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: were never seriously tempted to play Teddy. That Keenum is

752
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: simply playing too well. He's earned a longer rope and

753
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense now to even think about turn

754
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: into Teddy. I think that's right to that point. The

755
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: Glazer tweets specifically got on my radar a little bit yesterday,

756
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: and I I am not against Teddy Bridgewater, but sometimes

757
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: when I see something like that, he Glazer's wording was

758
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: he is the franchise, blah blah blah. Did I miss

759
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: the Teddy bridge water breakout season but for the knee

760
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: injury where it was like, oh, this guy is the

761
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: future for them because I know he made plays and well,

762
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: let me finish, he made plays and he's the guy

763
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of hope around him. But that's

764
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: why I was really struck by that tweet. Specifically, I

765
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: was like, don't we need to see how this guy looks? Yes,

766
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: but we haven't seen it, but they're the ones that

767
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: drafted him, and they have. They believed he was. He

768
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: was a top For instance, his rookie year, he finished

769
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: in the top twenty in my QB Index. Like if

770
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: you're a rookie, that's very that's very on point with

771
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: Mariota and Winston and a lot of young quarterbacks. Like

772
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: for a rookie year that was solid. Second year was

773
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: a little more mixed. But they believe in him. And

774
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: I think the main thing is they look at this

775
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: coaching staff and they look at this offensive line, which

776
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: is playing so well this year protecting Kingdom. They look

777
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: at the best wide receiver duo in the league, and

778
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: I think they think it's a different team around. I

779
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: totally agree we had because right now you don't need

780
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: a brilliant quarterback to operate this offense. But you can't

781
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: have an implosion. You can't in no matter case imploded

782
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: last week again if they're defaced. He threw what could

783
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: have been a pick six in the first half, and

784
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: he threw two of the worst interceptions while leading late

785
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: in the game. He was just named to the FedEx

786
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: Air Player of the Week. About twelve minutes it doesn't matter.

787
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: It was a cardinal sits those where Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh

788
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: McCown types of throws and they and they still and

789
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: they still piled up yards and piled up points. That's

790
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback's job. The thing is, you know this coaching

791
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: staffs he's Teddy in practice all the time. I don't care. Nobody,

792
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: not even Teddy Bridgewater, knows how he's gonna react coming

793
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: off the most devastating injury in the history of quarterback play.

794
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. He doesn't know how when Aaron Donald and

795
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: Robert Quinn sandwiched him, how he's going to react. He

796
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: doesn't know how he's gonna how a psyche is going

797
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: to be in the face of I think it'll take

798
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: care of itself exactly. Let letting the coaching staff dodge

799
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: the bullet. But let let if you if you think

800
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: a case keenum is is gonna implode week after week

801
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: and say you are, Greg, I'm not sen you are.

802
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: But if that's the case, there's gonna be a natural

803
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: door opening to in breakwater. But don't force it. After

804
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: what just happened, He's he's done as much as you

805
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: could have ever. I totally agree I I just think

806
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: if you really are watching his last four or five games,

807
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: interception every single week, I don't think he's played as

808
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: well the last four or five as he did. Again,

809
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: it's case Keenum and you couldn't have asked the guy

810
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: to do anymore. At the two quick thoughts West, Uh, Joe,

811
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 1: thisman would like a word with you, and the worst

812
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: quarterback injury ever just saying he wants to talk to

813
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: you personally. Well, I okay, that's that's fair, but I

814
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: think Teddy's but I get it. I don't and he'll

815
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: talk like it'll be like conversation where you don't get

816
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: a word in. I don't speak to I don't write

817
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: any stories with base with beat writers basing it off

818
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: at Eisman's comments he doesn't mean anything and Greg fed

819
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: ex air and ground. I don't think it was one

820
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: of his better games of the year. I really don't,

821
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: but I am I think he had. He hasn't like

822
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: Adam Feld and make it crazy, but I think it would.

823
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: It tells you there wasn't a lot le's pick from

824
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: let's pick this game. I was gonna lock this up,

825
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,919
Speaker 1: but I thought the god smiting thing would be more fun.

826
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: But I think the Rams are gonna win this game.

827
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: I think they're the more complete team. They're better on

828
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: special teams, they're better on defense. Overall, I like the

829
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: Rams better. Really think I'm gonna go Vikings. I'm going Vikings.

830
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: I respect them in their building, and I think the

831
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: Rams have You know, it's great that they've been pummeling

832
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: bad teams because that's often a more accurate sign of

833
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: how good you are than winning close games against good teams.

834
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: But this is this is a lot different opponent than

835
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: they're used to facing. Like, yeah, I like the Vikings

836
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: at home, and I think comes down to earth a

837
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: little bit. I think he takes I think it's gonna

838
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: be a rough day for Jared. I think both quarterbacks

839
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: could struggle in this game for sure. And now I

840
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: read from one of our sponsors, and you know it

841
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: is Home Depot Husky Tools. They say in life there

842
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: are no guarantees, they say, there's no sure thing. Well,

843
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you there might be just one exception.

844
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: In nineteen four, Husky started making things for people who

845
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: make things, and they did it with common sense that

846
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: meant adding function, never for frills, and making tools that

847
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: stood the test of time. Ninety three years later, Husky

848
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: is still making quality, crafted, durable tools. Oh amazing. They

849
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: stand by him too, lifetime warranty. You got the Husky ratchet,

850
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: that one position ratcheting design, ten percent longer hand, longer handle,

851
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: ten percent just that amount. It's good. It makes a

852
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: big difference, uh than standard ratchets. They do what other

853
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: ratchets can. Or the virtually unbreakable Husky flashlight with the

854
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: ability to withstand a thirty foot drop in working up

855
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: to one meter of water sub submersion. Someone on Twitter

856
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: told me when I called out the one meter thing, likewise,

857
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: in't it Whatever the conversion and feed is. It turns

858
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: out that they measure water depth and meters. So there

859
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: you go. Learning stuff here, both guaranteed for a lifetime,

860
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: but built so you won't need it. Now, that's a

861
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: pretty sure thing to Husky. That's common sense. Learn more

00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: a lifetime, found only at the home depot. Uh, let's

865
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: move on. The Washington redskins are four and five Uh,

866
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: coming off it lost to those vikings and now they

867
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: travel to face the Saints. Oh my goodness, Mark Sessler,

868
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: the Saints playing better than anyone in football right now

869
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: speaking you want to go down the Ledger. It is

870
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: a five game winning streak. Uh seven game winning streak.

871
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: Excuse me for the Saints during that streak thirty four

872
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: thirteen twenties fifty thirty, thirty to ten, forty seven to ten.

873
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: And now the Redskins have to go to the Superdome.

874
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: Lookout what the Saints did last week and then what

875
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers did their best on Monday night to kind

876
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: of outshine what New Orleans did one day earlier, is

877
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: the most exciting thing I think in the NFL. I

878
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 1: love this kind of football because I well, I don't

879
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: I I get it the four yards passing ever, all

880
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: that's nice, But I love watching teams that can run

881
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: the ball in the Saints, Dan, you tweeted about it

882
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: yesterday and everyone saw it against the Bills. The way

883
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: they the way they dominated on the ground was the

884
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: kind of way that when you would play Madden against

885
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: like your brother when you were young and you were

886
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: just better than him, or you were playing some friend,

887
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: or you're getting dominated yourself by someone and they're just

888
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: running over you and it's embarrassing me. That's how this looked.

889
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: Let me go through that drive. I tweeted it out.

890
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: It was the most and West I this is the

891
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 1: first game I watched based on what you were saying.

892
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying this morbidly curious about this game, and it

893
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: lived up to the hype. The most soul crushing drive

894
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: that I saw all year was in the third quarter.

895
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: Saints ten ten plays, ninety four yards all runs, Ingram

896
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 1: for eleven, Kamara for ten, zac Line for nine, mark

897
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: Ingram for nine, Kamara for fifteen, Kamara for eleven, Kamara

898
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: for eleven, Ingram for five, what's his problem? Kamara for six,

899
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: and then Drew Brees scrambles into the end zone yards

900
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: all runs, and I, like I said on Sunday, I

901
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: don't even think the Bills quit in that game. I

902
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: think they just were punished till there was nothing left

903
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: grounded to chalk. I considered this game unlockable because the

904
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: Saints are too good right now. I don't think the

905
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: Redskins can hang with him. The Saints are going to

906
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: put it on them. They're playing it their return home

907
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: to their home field, advantage, and I think they can

908
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 1: run on anyone, and I don't think it's a quincience.

909
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,959
Speaker 1: That's the first time last week that their offensive line

910
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: has been all healthy and together in a little while.

911
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: And then they come out with that performance which was

912
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: like it was about as close to the platonic ideal

913
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: of like old school football as you really could possibly get.

914
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: And now they play a Redskins team who aren't playing

915
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: as tough on defense, who made Latavius Murray and Jerick

916
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: McKinnon as a ground game look pretty good, and let's

917
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: just kind of getting what's blocked. So if The'tavius Murray's

918
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: running on you with pretty big holes, I think you're

919
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: in trouble playing this. It's it's fascinating me that Michael

920
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: Promis and Brandon Coleman on this team and and Ted

921
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: Ginn that you kind of forget about these guys in

922
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 1: some case because of the way this offense is. Every

923
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: other Saints here, these guys would have each been vying

924
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,720
Speaker 1: for a thousand yards. We'd be talking about two thousand

925
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: yard receivers. Versus Kamara and Ingram are about to become

926
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: the first backs if they keep this up to surpass

927
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: four hundred total yards each since the only other duo

928
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: ever Kevin mckinnern Spiner did it. And you're gonna five

929
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: mark the Browns when I knew you were going to

930
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: get that stat in there, and you deserve it. We

931
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: should mention Rob's big deal when it happened back. Oh yeah,

932
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: Fat Rob is out for the season officially for the Redskins.

933
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: It's been a little I think his loss has been

934
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: a big problem for them because they have not been

935
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: able to replace them, and they really don't have a

936
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: running game. And your boy Kirk Cousins is playing tough.

937
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: I will admit he's playing about an he's playing as

938
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: well in the circumstances. He's playing tough this year. I

939
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: think he's making those and they've had short yardage running

940
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: issues all year long. That's killed them on third and

941
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,959
Speaker 1: one and fourth and one. That is a problem because

942
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: they want to play that tough kind of football and

943
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: they can't do it. Uh. Here's a team West that's

944
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: in a really good spot heading into Week eleven, the

945
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Now they're playing not too well right

946
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: still played in a month. Yeah, they they've lost three

947
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: out of four. Uh to Pittsburgh, Oakland, and Dallas beating

948
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: Denver the only one in that stretch. But now they're

949
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: coming off of bye to regroup a little bit. We

950
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: all know Andy Reid kicks ass coming off bys, and

951
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: where do they get to go. They get to go

952
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 1: to the Jersey meadow Lands to face the Giants, who

953
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: look just about as bad as anyone in football right now.

954
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: This is not a lockable game, No it's not. And

955
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: I feel like people are kind of well, if you

956
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: lock the Giants, that would be allowed, that would be ballsy.

957
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: People kind of been on the Chiefs at this point

958
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: that they everybody considered them the best team in the

959
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: league a month ago, and now nobody considers them like

960
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: on the Patriots level or the Steelers level in the

961
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: NFC to meet the right there still And they had

962
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: a close loss to the Raiders. They you know, they

963
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: scared the Steelers a little bit in the fourth quarter,

964
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: and then that Cowboys beat them, you know, a little comfortably.

965
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: But I still think the Chiefs are right there with anyone.

966
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: They're they're the best scheme team in the league. And

967
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: I think some weeks, some weeks it doesn't you're not

968
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: hitting all your schemed up plays quite as perfectly, and

969
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: then you end up in a game like Dallas where

970
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: their offense really wasn't wasn't that great. But if you

971
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: could pick a defense to play against like the Giants

972
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: are it like it takes communication and discipline to play

973
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs or else they're gonna burn you for big

974
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: plays because they're gonna confuse you. And the Giants are

975
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: the least discipline, most easily confused, worst communicating defense and football.

976
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: This could be a fifty burger. I wish we could

977
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: lock up a fifty burger. It's like terrible matchup for

978
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: the Giants. I mean, I don't know, I don't I

979
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: have my lock is out there and I'm happy with that.

980
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with empting once again to lock triple

981
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: off if that, if that is allowed in future weeks,

982
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: that does open up things I would like goodlock finger

983
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with football. Yeah, you're just not

984
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: really trying to be an agent of chaos. I am

985
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: the Trump administration of this podcast a really really good block.

986
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: That's my Trump not getting better, but not getting better.

987
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: It's actually going in the wrong direction. By the way,

988
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: Ben mcindoon, we don't talk about the Giants too much,

989
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: But now he has the quote brutally honest meeting with

990
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: the Giants six weeks ago. He came out of that

991
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: saying how well it went, And then Dominique Rogers Cremarty

992
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: his quote was more like, al right, well, at least

993
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: he finally did it. It's like, yeah, you're right, it

994
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: should have happened when the when the ugliness began, which

995
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: was a round week two. Did anybody else have a

996
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: bad feeling about this organization not understanding that they need

997
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: to move on from Eli maning to the end of

998
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: the year, that they're so loyal to him and they're

999
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: talking about building statues and can't trade Eli. He will

1000
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: say he's been a little better this year, I think

1001
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: than last year, which is weird because their records because

1002
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: he was terrible last year. Well, they'll have a top

1003
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: five pick, and a lot can happened with the quarterback

1004
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: position in the draft between now and then if they

1005
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: if they go, if they overlook the position when there's

1006
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: someone sitting there for them, then I'd be very I

1007
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: was gonna say, there was also a report out there

1008
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: that they are if they're not at the top of

1009
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: the draft that they would be very anxious to trade

1010
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: up into. So I think something could be cooking. I really,

1011
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any chance he gets benched because

1012
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: of the consecutive game streaking, what he means the franchise.

1013
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: Why would you bench him for Gino? As much as

1014
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: I like, you know, what's the point? Well, yeah, there's

1015
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: the other kid there too, But I I I kind

1016
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: of think it's a coin flip that he's playing his

1017
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: final games as a Giant. I think it could be

1018
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: over for him, which would probably for all parties. Let's

1019
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: face it, Uh, let's move on the Buffalo Bills. Speaking

1020
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: of a team that can't figure out it's a quarterback situation,

1021
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: they bench Tyrod Taylor on Wednesday morning. Uh, Sean McDermott

1022
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: announces for fifth round pick Nate Peterman and um, I

1023
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: think a lot of people in the football cogniscent my

1024
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: off included through a tweet out there like what the

1025
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,720
Speaker 1: hell is going on? And I was surprised by my mention.

1026
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: They started getting pelt pelted by the Bills mafia, by

1027
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: people saying you have no idea what you're talking about.

1028
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: The problem of the national media, the same brainwashed folks

1029
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 1: that were defending every move Doug Whaley made for four years.

1030
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is just I don't know if it's a

1031
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: vocal minority, but Tyrod Taylor is not a popular guy,

1032
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: at least in my Twitter feed. He's out there, out

1033
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: of there. Nate Peterman's in to face the Chargers. Gregg

1034
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: one of the best pass rushes in the league. By

1035
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: the way, the Bills are technically right now the sixth

1036
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: and final playoff spot. That's why I hate this move.

1037
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: If they were three and six, whatever, this is the

1038
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: guy you drafted. You like him, even though it's not

1039
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor's fault on offense. Fine, he's not your future.

1040
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: I get it. A playoff appearance would be absolutely special

1041
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo region. Clinching that game that gets you

1042
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. It's been seventeen years and Tyrod Taylor.

1043
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: I just can't believe the fact that Nathan Peterman gives

1044
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 1: you a better chance to make the playoffs than Tyrod Taylor.

1045
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 1: I just don't believe it. He's a mid level starting

1046
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback. Peterman is I just can't believe it. Is

1047
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: it that like the Titanic level of thrashing they took

1048
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: by New Orleans. That made this decision happen. Sooner they broke,

1049
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: they broke their spirit. I feel like that game, it was,

1050
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: it was, it was, you know. Sean McDermott at one

1051
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: point looked at a sort of a Coach of the

1052
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: Year candidate and Sean Payton said, I'm the better Sean.

1053
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: In fact, you may even be the third best Sean.

1054
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: Coaches Sean McDermott. It was a Sean off, Sean off,

1055
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: and it went poorly from Buffalo. That was pronounced it

1056
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: Sean Sean. Another reason why that Saints Rams used the

1057
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: pronouns sean. We don't like pronouns around here. How do

1058
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: you guys pronounced Sean Sean Sean Sean Sean. It's like

1059
00:52:53,840 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: John the same to me, happening here? Sean Sean Sean

1060
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: post He's like, please move on. I mean, it's another

1061
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: reason why Ram Saints should have been flexed. That's the

1062
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: ultimate Shan off. So Tyrod Taylor, since he took over

1063
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback and Greg Roman's offense two thousand fifteen,

1064
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: he had an m c L injury and I believe

1065
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: October and they let it leak to rap sheet, the

1066
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: e J Manual could take the job the next year,

1067
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns in six interceptions, the same exact pace that he's

1068
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: on this year. The next year with a different offensive coordinator,

1069
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: they actually do bench Tyrod Taylor. Then he hits the market, well,

1070
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't hit the market, but he sees what the

1071
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: market's gonna be and re signs in Buffalo because he

1072
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: knows nobody wants to sign him. And now a different

1073
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 1: coaching staff has benched him again, no matter whether you

1074
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: think that he's outplayed what the town surrounding him is.

1075
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: And I do think that they have a better record

1076
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: in his tenure than they have a right to. Every

1077
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: coaching staff that's worked at him has found him wanting,

1078
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: and it's because he's He doesn't exhaust plays. He gets

1079
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 1: sacked more than any quarterback in the league. And while

1080
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: his receivers are running routes and while his coaches are

1081
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: drawing up plays that they want the quarterback to see through,

1082
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: he's leaving the pocket and not seeing the play through.

1083
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: And I know how coaches think. Run the play I called,

1084
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: don't leave the pocket. So I think that's why he's benched.

1085
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: But does it mean Nathan Peterman is going to give

1086
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: them better chance to win. I don't think there's any

1087
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: chance of that. Here's the bad news for us Mark.

1088
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 1: By the way, the Bills are now a major player

1089
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: for a quarterback in April, and they have like the Browns.

1090
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: But the Bills are pretty loaded with draft picks as well,

1091
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: and that is not what you want if you're a

1092
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: team like the Browns, like the Jets, draft to the

1093
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: to have to have another team enter the fray, and

1094
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. I think the maybe the logic

1095
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: here is they decided Tyrod Taylor he's just not our guy.

1096
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at Peterman because we like what

1097
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: we've seen. Let's give him some starts and then at

1098
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,879
Speaker 1: least get you have a look at him in live

1099
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: action before you make your big decision whether or not

1100
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: to go all in for a quarterback in April. But

1101
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: they're supposed to there on pace to make the playoffs.

1102
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: The way thing is, if you go back and look

1103
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,240
Speaker 1: at what Brandon Bean said about Peterman in the summer,

1104
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 1: this is not just boil up now. They some people

1105
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: thought he might start Week one. People close to this,

1106
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: they gushed over him. So I West, I think you're

1107
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: You're absolutely point on With Tyrod Taylor. He's not been supported,

1108
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: but he's also someone that inside the building, he's not

1109
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: waiting over multiple coaching. He also makes really special plays

1110
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: and wins games with Nick or Leary and Deannte Thompson,

1111
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,959
Speaker 1: and that's what got us excited. We should mention before

1112
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: we move on, Philip Rivers is in the concussion protocol.

1113
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: As we tape this, we don't even know if he's starting.

1114
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: This would be the first start in his career that

1115
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: he ever misses, and if he didn't play, it'd be

1116
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 1: I think it sound Anthony Lynn again said the expects

1117
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: from to play, So the second time, it's very likely

1118
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,479
Speaker 1: he's playing, which is good because they should win this game,

1119
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: and Ingram and Bosa are just playing so well together.

1120
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: I'm not counting this Chargers team out. This ABFC is

1121
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:59,439
Speaker 1: so maybe that number six seed in the FC could

1122
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: not be more It open, right, There's no way you

1123
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: need ten wins, not nine might be plenty. I think

1124
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: the two best teams going for that spot, or the

1125
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: Ravens and Chargers. How about the idea, since we're bringing

1126
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: up the fact that the fact that whoever is the

1127
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: sixth seed, and maybe one of these teams gets hot

1128
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: and they become a formidable foe in the playoffs. Even

1129
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: if you get the three seed, you get like a

1130
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: sneaky half of bye. If you get a really bad

1131
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: six seed, that four or five, Blake will throw away

1132
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: the four or five game. I'm not sure the three

1133
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: seed is going to be a powerhouse. I would take

1134
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: this division winner is also going to get a sneaky

1135
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: by because Blake's gonna hand it to him. You're gonna

1136
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: be a quadruple by. Might take the sixth seed and

1137
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: fly them up of the Bermuna triangle. We don't. You're

1138
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: assuming a lot in that Blake is just a little bit.

1139
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: They have to win the division and they have to

1140
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: have a worst record than the Steelers are Patriot. A

1141
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: lot of assumptions being made there not not a lot

1142
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: of good ones. Let's move on. The Cincinnati ben Gals

1143
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: are three and six after back to back losses. Basically

1144
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: forked them right there. No, this is a fork on

1145
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 1: Forksner four go fork. So let's be quick here. Of

1146
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: brock Osweiler is again playing, but at least Paxton Lynch

1147
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: is now the backup at this point. The only positive

1148
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 1: takeaway for the Broncos of the season I would think

1149
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: now is a von Miller doesn't suffer a bad injury

1150
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: or something like that. They don't have any serious injuries,

1151
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: and b Paxston Lynch shows them something when he finally

1152
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: gets in. It feels like we're heading in that direction now,

1153
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: and what does that mean for Trevor Simeon. I feel

1154
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: like this is the first real pain point for John Elway,

1155
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: who you know deservedly gets a ton of credit for

1156
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: what he's done, and he really he's the reason they

1157
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: got Peyton Manning in the first place. It was because

1158
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: John Elway's John Elway. But now you're in a conundrum

1159
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: at this position where you've drafted Paxiston Lynch. We have

1160
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: no proof from what we've seen in scant snaps of

1161
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: his that he's the answer on any level. Trevor Simeons

1162
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: crashed and burned at this point his third string, and

1163
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: your other option is brock Osweiler. You either have to

1164
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: figure out the quarterback situation again in the off season,

1165
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: or you need to see enough from Paxiston Lynch to

1166
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: take a risk on him going into next year. It's

1167
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: weird position for the Broncos. Really surprised Simeon is not

1168
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: back in. Is he hurt? No? I think they're done

1169
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: with Lynch is probably the backup brock Osweiler's performance last week,

1170
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: and thought, no, they were encouraged he played Okay, I mean,

1171
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I I was, But this is the

1172
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: team that brought him in and gave him the starts

1173
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: to begin with. So you gave up on Simeon. That's

1174
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: not nothing they've done. Sense to me. First of all,

1175
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: you already know what brock Osweiler is. So so this

1176
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: is a waste of time, this three game stretch or

1177
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: however long, it's going to take all reports out of

1178
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: Denver all off season into the summer where the packing

1179
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: Lynch never came close to putting heat on Trevor Simeons.

1180
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: So why has he, all of a sudden, after being

1181
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: injured for two months, being put above him in the rotation.

1182
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't get that at all. There's no reason whatsoever

1183
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: to believe that you're gonna put in Paxton Lynch and

1184
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,479
Speaker 1: be pleasantly surprised by what he's doing on the field.

1185
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: Who who would have thought this before the season, This

1186
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: would have been a dead game in Week eleven that

1187
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: that Bengals bronze would have nothing going into that. And

1188
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: it took a little while, but I think you now

1189
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: look and the Rams have the number one defense in

1190
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: the league according to Football Outsiders. I think you now

1191
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: have this that you can say that they miss Wade

1192
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,959
Speaker 1: Phillips a little bit on defense for Denver. It's taken

1193
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: a little while for me to really buy in that

1194
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: they've fallen off. But they've fallen off. I assume Van's

1195
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: Joseph's okay. Yeah, there's usually a one and done guy

1196
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: in the mix, Marvin Lewis, though I don't know about

1197
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis, and he spent half his week at seemingly

1198
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: burying John Ross is like the worst draft pick ever.

1199
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: That disappointing him and all of this stuff. Why are

1200
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: Bengals fans so upset by that? John Ross was a

1201
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: guy who came into camp after missing the entire off season,

1202
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: didn't know where he's supposed to line up on the field,

1203
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: didn't know what he's supposed to do, and now he

1204
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: misses most of the season, still doesn't know where he's

1205
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be and we're supposed to and I'm supposed

1206
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: to be upset that Marvin Lewis called him out for

1207
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: that he doesn't know what, he doesn't know what his

1208
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: job talked about him giving up on routes. Lest Marvin

1209
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: Lewis is allowed to call out his players for not

1210
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: knowing what they're doing on the field. Fair, very fair,

1211
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Oh yeah, it's time to

1212
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: head to Santa Rosala, Mexico. Decca the New England Patriots

1213
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: uh and the Oakland Raiders squaring off. The Pats Mexico's team,

1214
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: according to Derek Carr, who's always been right about everything, Mexico.

1215
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: And we have listeners in Mexico. That's been confirmed, breaking news,

1216
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: huge listenership in Mexico to our South, Open arms South.

1217
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: James Palmer, what am I supposed to say? I like

1218
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: you like just found that out there. James Palmer has

1219
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: tweeted an hour ago he is covering this game in

1220
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Mexico and says that Raiders fans are swarming in full

1221
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: force at customs to cross the border. Guys come down

1222
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: there there. This is this time, got a lot of

1223
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: time anyway. Patriots seven and two, obviously they've blown away

1224
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: the AFC East once again, and the Raiders coming off

1225
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: of bye, this is it, West, this is the most

1226
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: important game of their season. You want us to take

1227
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: you seriously as a team that that not only can

1228
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: get that playoff spot, but also we have a little

1229
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: hope to conjure up some of the spirits of two

1230
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen. Go win a game. And I don't

1231
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: think that's I don't think that's uh. You're not asking

1232
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: too much. If we're gonna take this team seriously, they

1233
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: have to win, and it's because their secondary is a conflagration.

1234
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: They are they are one of the worst secondaries. Let's

1235
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: get to have West back of the big words. And

1236
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: you see they put Gary Conley, their first round pick

1237
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: on i R this week. And you look around the

1238
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: league and you see teams like the Saints, what they're

1239
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: getting out of Marcus Lattimore, what the Bills are getting

1240
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: out Tredavious White, and the Raiders have gotten nothing out

1241
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: of their first round. Cornerback Sean Smith is slow, David

1242
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Amerson has been burnt all season long. And I think

1243
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots continue to roll against this Raiders defense. It

1244
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: can't stop anyone through the air. This is becoming a

1245
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: tired stat because it started to be tracked about three

1246
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago. But they are the only team in NFL

1247
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: history to enter this late stage of the season without

1248
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: an interception on defense. That exactly that you get. You get. Yeah,

1249
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: there is bad, but that means there's no game in

1250
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: NFL history like less likely to have an interception on

1251
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots side than this Tom Brady, who's thrown we

1252
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: two in the last twentysothing games, and that's why the

1253
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 1: games aren't played on paper. Greg seven picks for Brady

1254
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: market down Erica sam Posey. Wow, that's a sessler. I

1255
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: don't see her writing anything. I think she's completely disregarded

1256
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: your point. Yeah, I guess I kind of like the Raiders.

1257
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Loot of the Raiders are kind of like my af

1258
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: C West team. That makes me happy a little bit.

1259
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I like the fans. I feel

1260
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: bad for him maybe, but do I feel confident that

1261
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: anyone's gonna stop Tom Brady? Because Brady just looks to

1262
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: be just to it looked last year and probably the

1263
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: last seven years before that, but especially right now. He

1264
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: seems unconscious, like the game is in slow motion to

1265
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: him right now, and he sees things in a way

1266
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: that other people just don't see the game. So to

1267
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: to imagine that the Raiders are gonna scheme to stop

1268
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Brady No, so they're gonna need to score a lot

1269
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: of points. Need this and it could be a double

1270
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 1: forty burger, I don't I don't think it's It wouldn't

1271
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: shock me if this game is forty eight. This is

1272
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: the best offense in the league against the worst defense,

1273
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: according to Football Outsiders, and it's pretty closely flipped the

1274
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: other way. I would say the worst pass rush, one

1275
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: of the worst pass rushes against what should be a

1276
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: really good offensive line. They've been a little up and down,

1277
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: but overall they've protected Derek Carr well. So this should

1278
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: be a game where Car has some time and can

1279
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: pick apart the Patriots defense and that they can go

1280
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: up and down the field at least a little bit.

1281
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,439
Speaker 1: We'll keep up with it. We just did this last

1282
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: week with the Broncos, where it was, you know different,

1283
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: New England's gonna crumble for a reason that Raiders have

1284
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: these metrics. A lot of these New England defensive metrics,

1285
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: aren't They still anchored and tied to the really rough

1286
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: start A little bit, but you give up a lot

1287
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: of the last three weeks, they've given up fewer points

1288
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: total than they did in Week one to the Chiefs.

1289
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean they they're averaging about thirteen and a half

1290
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: points per game allowed right now. They've rounded into shape.

1291
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: The issue early on if you listen to what those

1292
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,959
Speaker 1: players are saying was communication issues in the secondary. They've

1293
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: cleaned that up. This defense is not a big issue,

1294
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,919
Speaker 1: right Patriots, Greg by the way, to think that they

1295
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:33,479
Speaker 1: are in danger of forty burger where that that team

1296
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: has been kind of that's fair. I guess I haven't

1297
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: there's this explosive Raiders offense. I haven't seen it all year.

1298
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know why the Patriots should be

1299
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: scared of the Raiders offense. Oh, is this gonna be

1300
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: another blowout? I think it's much more ripe for a blowout.

1301
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: This is just me than a forties. This is not

1302
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: a game, and this is usually when it comes back

1303
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: to hany. This is not a game. As a Patriots fan,

1304
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: that worries me because I would just be so stunned

1305
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: if the Patriots didn't put up thirty five plus forty

1306
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 1: points and then they figure out a way to win.

1307
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: I think right now Dion Lewis the way he's running

1308
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: between the tackles, and the way Rex Burkehead is coming

1309
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, and James way. I think Bill

1310
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: Belichick has kind of found his perfect backfield. He's been

1311
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: building up to this for a while. Like their biggest

1312
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: advantage every week is running backs matched up against linebackers

1313
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: and safeties and this trio and whenever they want to

1314
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: have gilllessly active, that's kind of like his nirvana of

1315
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: a running game. And it's taking them a little bit

1316
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: to figure out this offense, but now it's really I

1317
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 1: totally agree with double birds to the fantasy community absolutely.

1318
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: I think you come out of this game because there

1319
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: have been some whispers at some low points this season

1320
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 1: for the Raiders that there is some ownership discontent from

1321
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: the head coach and other areas here that I think

1322
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: you come out of this and this goes poorly for

1323
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: for the Raiders. There's gonna be issues that potentially could

1324
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: have off ramification defensive staff, especially who's never figured anything

1325
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: out under del Rio. Ken Norton's not had good defenses

1326
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: and they get confused, and that's the last thing you

1327
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: want playing Brady who's been mixing up paste very well.

1328
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I could see them kind of speeding it up and

1329
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: then slowing it down and catching them off guards and

1330
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: just the Braiders kind of looking in compets. All right,

1331
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: So you have a lot to look forward to this weekend,

1332
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: So throwing ais lives on. Moving on. Then Philadelphia Eagles,

1333
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: a team with a better record than the Patriots and

1334
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: everybody else in the league eight and one, travel to

1335
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Dallas and they go go at a perfect time, let's

1336
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: face it, against the Cowboys. No Zeke Elliott, Tyrone Smith

1337
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: still up in the air at left tackle, and we

1338
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: saw what happened when you entrusted a man named Chaz

1339
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: uh and no Sean Lee, who's really the backbone of

1340
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Dallas's defense. So all this adds up, Greg to the

1341
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,439
Speaker 1: Eagles being in a great spot to a salt away

1342
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: the division if that was even in a question, and

1343
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: also put the Cowboys on life support in the NFC,

1344
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: and they would absolutely love to do that, and I do.

1345
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: And you know, through no fault to your own, I

1346
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: do have a little bit of breaking news. What you

1347
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: were just talking about. Hit it temposset, Greg legitimately excited

1348
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: right now, NFL media insider. I don't know Jane Slater,

1349
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: what do we call her? She? NFL reporter Jane Slater

1350
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: reports Tyrn Smith will not be well Byron Bell is starting,

1351
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: and uh, that's great news for Brandon Graham and the

1352
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: rest of this great Eagles past. Heard that from Cowboys

1353
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: sourced whispers, So I think she is a bit of

1354
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: an insiders that this is a brutal spot for the Cowboys. Boss.

1355
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Are the Eagles defensive line the best position group in

1356
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: the NFL? Brandon Graham, Fletcher Cox, Timmy Joern again and

1357
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Vinny Curry and then you throw and Chris Long coming

1358
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: off the bench, Alan, I think they're the best position

1359
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: group in the end, because what else would be in

1360
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: the mix? I guess the Jaguars defensive facts, you know,

1361
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: or yeah, quarterbacks in the mix that the Panthers linebackers

1362
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: are obviously very good, But no, I would put the

1363
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Eagles front for as the most consistent week to week

1364
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: wrecking crew around. You want to talk about are what

1365
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: I love? I don't know if the rest of the

1366
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: people in the room give a hoot about this, but

1367
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: the coach Assistant Coach of the Year award, I think

1368
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: number one. Hold on, Greg, hit the brakes. Hit the

1369
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: brakes for a minute, please, Rod Mirranelli. Rod Miranelli, year

1370
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: after year, can I possibly finish the sentence in this room?

1371
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: And I possibly just sentence during this because the car

1372
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: is speeding out of control. Hit them, don't pump them.

1373
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: Hit them. Rod Miranelli, I think is one of the

1374
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: most underrated coaches in the NFL with what he's done

1375
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: with this defense. Injuries up and down the place, David

1376
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Irvin to Marcus Lawrence. He has this team every year

1377
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: they get counted out in the off season. One time

1378
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 1: I talked to fifty phrases described how bad this defense was.

1379
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 1: He completely put it back in my face. And everyone

1380
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: else is but on the flip side, Jim Schwartz for

1381
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles, I think it's another very strong key the

1382
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: date and probably will be a head coach again soon.

1383
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think he wants to be a head coach.

1384
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: You got it out, I'll tell you it's a chore.

1385
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I wasn't sure it is an utter chore.

1386
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,679
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if it was you or the eighty

1387
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: five year old woman that had taken over your body.

1388
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 1: When you call it something now, who but you got

1389
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: it out. It is a chore. I will reiterate, it

1390
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: is a task. I would be stunned, stunned, stunned if

1391
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 1: the Eagles don't win this game. But okay, I agree

1392
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: with all that, and I expect the Eagles to win.

1393
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: The offensive line is not special when you're missing Tyrant Smith,

1394
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: because then you look like, who who do you have? Really?

1395
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 1: You have Jonathan Cooper who's not really a great left guard.

1396
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: You have Lyle Collins who's not played well against the

1397
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: past at all at right tackle. So suddenly it's just

1398
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 1: down to two guys in the middle. That's not enough.

1399
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: You're missing Sean Lee, and yet I do think you

1400
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: still have dek Prescott. You do have the bones of

1401
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: a team that could win a game at home if

1402
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: they're playing their best. I don't think this is just

1403
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 1: like a walk. I agree with you. I agree with

1404
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: you to such an extent. But and let me tell

1405
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: you something right now. Yes, because I believe that Dallas

1406
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: is not done with the season yet, and I think

1407
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles are a super Bowl level team that's gonna

1408
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: have one or two trip ups. It's gonna come this weekend.

1409
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: I am locking it up. WHOA, you're locking up the Cowboys. Yes,

1410
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: I am. We got a lock off. Oh. I have

1411
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: so much respect for Dak Prescott. I don't think there

1412
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: are five quarterbacks in the league. I would take over him. Uh.

1413
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: Like you said, Rob Marinelli, I respect for them. They're

1414
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,799
Speaker 1: playing at home. For all the talk about the Eagles

1415
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: defensive line going against a banged up Cowboys offensive line,

1416
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: Viti has to block DeMarcus Lawrence and David Urning too.

1417
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: So I've checked my conscience, and my conscience tells me

1418
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to lock up the Eagle. Wait. Oh yeah,

1419
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,560
Speaker 1: I was getting confused because you're making the case for

1420
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: the couch. I have to make a case. But I'm

1421
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 1: allowed to lock up your Absolutely, look in the mirror.

1422
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: What did you see when you looked in that mirror?

1423
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: I saw man in a smoking jacket. That respected is

1424
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: pick I think he's also he have some showman ship

1425
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: because you've created another lock off, which is great for

1426
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: this podcast. If Mark's going to be right here, though,

1427
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: like Cole Beasley, it's been slipping under the radar. I

1428
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: know we want to move on. This is a great game.

1429
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for games. Is the first week of

1430
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: the year. I feel like we have like three or

1431
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: four great games. They have thrown the ball to Cole

1432
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: Beasley forty times this year. He has a yards that

1433
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: is the least efficient. Worst connection in the league right

1434
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,799
Speaker 1: now is Dak Prescott to Cole Beasley and Dez Bryant's

1435
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: connection is around fIF too. It's not it's not a lot.

1436
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: So those two guys like that passing game has to

1437
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: show that they can carry the team. We'll see And

1438
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: of course the Zeke Elliott saga. He's over suspended, unsuspended, suspended, unsuspended, suspended,

1439
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: un unsuspended, suspended, and now he has accepted that suspension,

1440
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: so you won't see him again until the middle of December,

1441
01:11:55,040 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve, so late December. That's technically into

1442
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Could be a big, big return game. So

1443
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 1: that's Sunday Night Football. Finally, Monday Night Football. The Atlanta

1444
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: Falcons five and four. Uh, And you know that's why

1445
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: I think Dallas has almost no chance. I hated the

1446
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: way that the Cowboys looked in that game and everything

1447
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: Adrian Claiborne did to the backup left tackle, all that

1448
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 1: they kick, but well they kick, they kick took us?

1449
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: What is it? What did you say before? I don't

1450
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: give a hoot about something. I don't give a hoot

1451
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys after what they did against the Falcons,

1452
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: and now they gotta go to uh Atlanta's gotta go

1453
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 1: to Seattle to face the Seahawks, who one Thursday night

1454
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: football got the mini by But you know who's not

1455
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: coming back, Mark Richard Sherman achilles tendon tear. And this

1456
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: defense is not the same when Sherman's not there. No,

1457
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: And for me, it only adds more pressure to the

1458
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: quarterback in Russell Wilson, who is being relied on more

1459
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: than any other in the entire league. He has accounted

1460
01:12:55,479 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 1: for nineti point two percent of their offensive touchdowns. Every game,

1461
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: it seems, comes down to Russell Wilson having to dig

1462
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 1: them out of a hole. Dan, you and I watched

1463
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: this game last week where Seattle knocked out Arizona, and

1464
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:09,799
Speaker 1: he made what I thought was one of the plays

1465
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,560
Speaker 1: of the year. But his patent is cycling back his

1466
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: figure eight, rushing away from defenders and flinging the ball

1467
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: down field to a player that no one else even sees.

1468
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 1: And he does this week after week it works, but

1469
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it works ultimately for Seattle. They

1470
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 1: feel to me like a team that's endangered if they

1471
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,839
Speaker 1: don't find more balance in their offense and on defense.

1472
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot to see how the Richard Sherman

1473
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,560
Speaker 1: thing plays out. I I do think that, uh, the

1474
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: rookie cornerback Shack Griffin has looked good. Yes, he's gonna

1475
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: have to stay good because a big part of their

1476
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: defense is that Sherman could lock down that side of

1477
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,560
Speaker 1: the field, and that's just not gonna happen anymore. He

1478
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,719
Speaker 1: got Earl Thomas. Okay, that hamstrings sounds like he well.

1479
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll sounds was expecting he'll play. We don't know.

1480
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 1: It sounds like he'll play. Chancellor confirmed, Kim cham Siler

1481
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: is up in the air with a stinger. Dwayne Brown,

1482
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: who has solidified their left tackle spot, done nice jobs

1483
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 1: since he was acquired, is a game time decision. So

1484
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: you look at the Seahawks, there's a lot going wrong.

1485
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,719
Speaker 1: You're right, Russell Wilson is just carrying them. They haven't

1486
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 1: had a great home field advantage, the defense hasn't been

1487
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: quite as good, and the Falcons, I think can look

1488
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: at what Matt Ryan has done the last couple of

1489
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: weeks and feel pretty good about it. Seven touchdowns, two interceptions,

1490
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: and both of those interceptions were not his fault. I

1491
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: think they got it going. I don't know if last

1492
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 1: week was a turning point game. We'll see you need

1493
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: more than one. But it wasn't just Clayborn. They got

1494
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good defensive efforts from a lot of

1495
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: players last week. And on paper, this isn't a tough

1496
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: matchup against the Seahawks offense. You should be able to

1497
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:47,600
Speaker 1: get pressure and slow them down. NFL Network insidery And

1498
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: says that it doesn't look good for DeVonta Freeman to play,

1499
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: But unlike the Seahawks, the Falcons have running back depth.

1500
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: Keevin Coleman looked good last week. He's one of the best,

1501
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: I guess one B back ups in the NFL. So

1502
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: I trust the Falcons running game a lot more. I

1503
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:06,799
Speaker 1: think this is a fascinating game. Do you guys remember

1504
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: this game last year? I thought it was one of

1505
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:10,720
Speaker 1: the sneaky games of the year, kind of the game

1506
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: that made me think the Falcons are for real. Even

1507
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 1: though they ended up losing, it was a terrific game.

1508
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 1: These were kind of the two favorites of the NFC

1509
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: going into the year, and now whoever loses this game,

1510
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna feel too good about. I think if

1511
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,640
Speaker 1: Atlanta is gonna turn this season around, they gotta go

1512
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 1: win this game, and I think they will. This is

1513
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 1: such an important game for the Falcons. Let's pick this game.

1514
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 1: I like this one. I I think it will be

1515
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons. And I kind of thought I've never been

1516
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: completely sold on the Seahawks this year, and now you

1517
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,200
Speaker 1: take out Sherman, it just feels to me they are

1518
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,719
Speaker 1: a step below the rest of the class of the NFC.

1519
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 1: I think the Falcons are in that step below group

1520
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: as well. But I just feel good about Atlanta this week.

1521
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: I have to disagree. I think Seattle is gonna win

1522
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 1: this game. You do, Why do you believe that? Just

1523
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 1: think it's a it's in Seattle. I don't like listen

1524
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: with the Falcons. A lot of the way I feel

1525
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: about the Falcons is sometimes a little bit too attached

1526
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: to last year, and I'm starting to become completely unattached

1527
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: to last year. Well. You usually it's like the moment

1528
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 1: you think they're dead, that's when they rise and these

1529
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: are two teams that you think. It's so early in

1530
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 1: the season still, even though it doesn't feel that way,

1531
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:15,839
Speaker 1: that they that one of these teams has enough inside

1532
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: of them to be better. The Falcons have have not

1533
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: shown signs of being the Salons. They were just six

1534
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: and four after ten games. Last year would be the

1535
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 1: same exact record as this year. They were seven and

1536
01:16:24,840 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: five after twelve games. I know it's different, but at

1537
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: least they I think they have the players and the

1538
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: guts on their team to play better Falcons. I had

1539
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: already said it earlier. I thought picking the Falcons for

1540
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: the same reason. I think there are a lot I

1541
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: know that there's a contingent in this room. Dan has

1542
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,560
Speaker 1: represented the Falcons are dead side of the spectrum. I

1543
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: don't think they're dead by any stretch. I think they're

1544
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: way too talented. I respect uh Matt Ryan and Julio

1545
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,840
Speaker 1: Jones in a running game too much to write them off.

1546
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 1: I alone have picked Seattle in Seattle, I like this dynamic.

1547
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: Picked the Falcons twice. I didn't know up up, Senator,

1548
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 1: you couldn't speak again unless you're making a pick. All right,

1549
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: that's it for pumping his arms excited I'm getting a

1550

Speaker 1: haircut right after. Talk about getting your weekend going. That
