2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: Geebow for a workout. Welcome back to another edition of

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansus

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: and I am joined by a room filled with heroes.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal. What's up boys?

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: Happy Monday? Mark, Hello, get to see you. How's your

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Monday going? That's fine, Marky. Mark got the the brilliant

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: six am start thanks to new leader David Eely shooting.

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: It's getting to the point maybe we need to get

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: really up here oclock like six thirty six. Now you

11
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: like the early starts, if you say so. Greg, back

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: in the charge, buddy. I'm not in charge. Um, he

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: once was and once, once upon a time. Um, I

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: did enjoy that I sent something to at the Bosa extension,

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean the Bosa signing making us ponder the meaninglessness

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: of of life. And multiple people responded that they thought

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Cessler had taken over my account. Mark, how about that

18
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: that you kind of haves like what it's like? What?

19
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: I can't make an existential claim? I I agree with you.

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: I want to be in that corner too. I think

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: that we all at this point basically speak exactly and

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: exactly the same way and start starting to tweet in

23
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: exactly the same way. So it's wrong. It's wrong to

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: say that. Gregg says to me, it should be someone else.

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: We spent so much time together now over the years.

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: Like I was reading what we learned last week that

27
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: West wrote the lead and there was something like a

28
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: comprehensive failure. Though that's like a Sesslersum as well loves

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: Comprehensiler's got a lot of influence. I did not come

30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: up with the word comprehensive, though I'm sure Wes had

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: heard of that word previous to us meetings Mark. Mark

32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: has a wonderful way with language. Some of that does

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: seep into all of our conscious Is this whatever, but

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: comprehensive as a word up been using since I was Mark?

35
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: Has your ego been stroked in off at the top

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: of the show, I don't. I didn't ask for any

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: of this. Today is yes, the Monday edition of You

Speaker 1: And we will also uh talk about what's going on

53
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,400

54
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: uh to talk about, as well as a big NFL controversy.

55
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: So that is today's show. Before we would get going,

56
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: I want to say, by the way, speaking of the

57
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: influence that we have on one another, my fantasy draft

58
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: was on Sunday. Nobody cares about who picks who, but

59
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: I just want to say, Wes that I took David

60
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Johnson seventh. Overall thought about you, thought about your face

61
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: and your body the whole time. Uh. And then it's

62
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: a two quarterback League. Daddy went and got himself Marcus

63
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: Mariotta a little later. I love the look of your team.

64
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't need another rest of it. It's not to

65
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: do well just with those two goods. The rest of

66
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: its kind of my guys that I like. I also

67
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: took two Browns, and I will of this. I will

68
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman. I took in Duke Johnson later in the

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: draft there was a Brown's opportunity to be had. Because no,

70
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's a good faith in your part,

71
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: but I think taking Brown's players in fantasy is probably

72
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: historically a bit dubious. But if you're trying to get

73
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve, which is part of a fantasy draft.

74
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Are the Browns gonna score some points? I think they

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: are this year. Well, they're going to give up some points.

76
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: That's fine. I don't care about that. Yeah, whether they're

77
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: good or not is beside the point. But anyway, so

78
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: that was fun. Um, let's do some news with the Irish,

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: and hey, Irish, by the way, you were studying some

Speaker 1: can't play any music at all from any in house

96
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: library or external You know, what is the point if

97
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: you do remember I made a drop of Greggy Goes

98
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Dallas that was all in house stuff, and even that

99
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: got acts Well, that was because it was inappropriate. We'll

100
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: keep drawing hundreds of thousands of listeners while they tied

101
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: concrete cinder blocks to our ankles. Wow, okay, this has

102
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: got this went a little too far. But what is

103
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: the update you have. This was our greatest listenership month ever. Uh,

104
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: tell us more irish. Well, I was looking at our

105
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, we have a lot of worldwide listeners here

106
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: and got to the chase. Buddy, we have six listeners

107
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 1: in the Vatican City, State, Holy See and marketing. Wow.

108
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Can you explain what that means? Well, I mean it's

109
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not a Catholic scholar or something, but

110
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a territory inside you know,

111
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: the Holy City. Yeah, I mean basically it's where the Pope.

112
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: The Pope listens to the podcast. Do you think there's

113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: some smoke, like plumes of smoke that come out every

114
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: time we release a show, every time Tremaine Pope runs

115
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: for three yards or Leonard Pope. I think it's What's

116
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: very possible is one of the Pope's kind of henchman

117
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: listens to it like down the brick hallway and the

118
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Pope can hear it. Yeah, he's wondering what is he?

119
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: And he's like Kristin Michael. Again, enough guys, move on.

120
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: Who do you think on the Pope's fantasy team? A

121
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: bunch of cardinals? Hey? Now, terrible let's role models are artists, merchants.

122
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: It's less than ten that I can name a history Truman,

123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: four Shooes, Disney Jobs, West. We were just talking about

124
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: the Pope now guy who thinks he's got Kanye West

125
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: at the v m as yesterday. Um, let's do some

126
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: news and we'll start. You know, they used to say

127
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: the at the old Cowboys Stadium that the hole in

128
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: the roof was so God could look in on America's team.

129
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: But how about now, where's your God now? Because Tony Romo,

130
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: that's for the theology podcast coming up next summer. Everybody

131
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: old tight? Uh. Tony Romo is injured again. We talked

132
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: about on Friday Show how maybe dodged a bullet after

133
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: taking that really crushing hit from Cliff April. He did

134
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: not dodge it because Jason Garrett annow Saturday that Romo

135
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: underwent an m r I on Friday, revealing a broken

136
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: bone in his back. Rap Sheet reported that Romo's best

137
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: case scenario is returning by mid season. It's a compression

138
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: fracture of his vertebrae, a different broken bone than the

139
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: one in two thousand fourteen where he had the transverse

140
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: process proceeds. Remember that that was a fun time. Anyway.

141
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: The hope is Romo returns after the bye for the

142
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: team's Week eight showdown with the Eagles. Here's Jason gard

143
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: were confident that he's going to be coming back and

144
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: playing for football for us this year. And this is

145
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: just you know, we talked at length about Romo on

146
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: Friday and about how much football he might have left

147
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: in that body, and then here it comes. Now Dak

148
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: Prescott's starter, Chris Wesling and Tony Romo has to be

149
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: thinking to himself, how much longer can I be doing this? Well,

150
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: the word out of Dallas is that he's thinking he

151
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: can do it for a few more years, that he's

152
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: not thinking retirement at all. I think all of us

153
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: who have watched him play think that he might be

154
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: getting towards the end of the line. But Jerry Jones

155
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: came out and said that this is not a it's

156
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: hard to believe this would be a Tom Brady Drew

157
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: Bledsoe type of situation. That Romo will get his job

158
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: back in And I think, barring some miraculous six games

159
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: stretched by Dak Prescott, that's what's gonna happen. I mean,

160
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: but Stephen Jones, days after this happened, came out and

161
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: said that there is a possibility if it played out

162
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: a certain way that it would be aver and that

163
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: makes that seems very realistic. Dak Prescott takes this play

164
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: from the preseason and they're five and two in late October,

165
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: and he has a passer rating while hundred and four,

166
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: like you're gonna bench him for Tony Romo. It opens

167
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: the window for a real possibility that Prescott Ken Brady, Uh,

168
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: Tom Tony Romo nailed it. Well, you have to want

169
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: first of all, you asked where God is. He's starting

170
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Cowboys, Dak Prescott, he's gonna be the governor.

171
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: He's taken over. Uh. If people love Dak Prescott. But

172
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: the bigger thing for me is is Tony Romo really

173
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: going to be healthy? And week? Hey? Why do we

174
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: trust these timelines? Why do we trust that when he

175
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: comes back on the field that he stays there. I mean,

176
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: maybe he will, but if if you're just looking at

177
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: the recent track record, you should expect that he won't

178
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: come back, or that if he does come back, he's

179
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: not going to stay there necessarily for long and it's

180
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for him to take hits, which are

181
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: a big part of playing quarterback in the NFL when

182
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: you're thirty six years old, it's just, you know, it

183
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: bums me out. I hope that he comes back and

184
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: he's great, because this is a situation where you could

185
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: see that kind of keeping the ship afloat and the

186
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: offensive line and the running back and everything is set

187
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: up so well that Romo could come back and be

188
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: a hero, and it's it's possible, but it's very possible.

189
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: We've seen the last of Romo as a as a

190
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: top level guy. That's possible. I think when I look

191
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: at this situation as opposed to previous seasons when you

192
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: had cast offs and rejects like Brandon Weeden and Matt

193
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Castle Kellen Moore masquerading as legitimate backup quarterbacks, there's no

194
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: surprise that the Cowboys didn't do well. But in this situation,

195
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: if you could pick one offense for a rookie to

196
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: step into, it would be the Dallas Cowboys offense behind

197
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: that line throwing to a ten time Pro bowler and

198
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: Jason Witten, one of the best wide receivers in the NFL,

199
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: and Dez Bryant and Ezekiel Elliott, who looks like a

200
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: special player. I think it is important to note that's

201
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: exactly your point that Steven Jone said that at this

202
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: time around, compared to last year, we're not gonna sit

203
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: around worrying about when Tony gets back. I think that

204
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: he that that Dak Prescott for any rookie quarterback, this

205
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: is about as good of a situation, you know, their

206
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: defensive side, that you could find yourself in. But it

207
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: is absolutely the set up for a changing of the guard.

208
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: If Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, their new version of

209
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: triplets blow the doors off. And now that may not happen.

210
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: You I don't think you just say in a rookie

211
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be there mentally the same way Tony Romo

212
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: is come Week one. But there is a real possibility.

213
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: Let's move on and talk other quarterbacks. Trevor Simeon did it, guys.

214
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: The former seventh round pick will be the starter for

215
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos when they begin

216
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: their season against the Carolina Panthers a week from Thursday.

217
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Um In his last preseason gaming or he completed forty

218
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: three passes in three preseason contest, two of them starts,

219
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: uh sixty two completion percentage with one touchdown, two picks,

220
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: so he wasn't dominant, But Greg, that speaks to just

221
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: how bad this competition has been in terms of production.

222
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: I think Simeon has lived up to whatever modest expectations

223
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: they had from at the beginning of the summer, and

224
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: what we've seen in the preseason has confirmed that if

225
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: he has a weakness, he's too safe. Uh. He made

226
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: a couple nice throws. I would say in his preseason game,

227
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: he had a couple of three and outs where he

228
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: didn't get to throw the ball at all. He made

229
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: one really bad, you know, he he has promised. I

230
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: like what I see out of Trevor Simeon, so it

231
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: doesn't shock me that they're ready to get rid of

232
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez, Because what's the point of Mark Sanchez If

233
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: you already have the future in Paxton Lynch and you

234
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: have a higher upside guy that's also safer and young

235
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: in Simeon, why why bother keep marks. I've heard people

236
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: call this a major upset from the time and when

237
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: the off season started. But if you think it's a

238
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: major upset. You haven't been listening to Gary Kubiak since

239
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: April and May, when every time he's mentioned the quarterback situation,

240
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: he said, Trevor Simeon and in Simeon is his handpicked

241
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: guy in the draft. Yeah, and in Kubiak has talk

242
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: about Simeon being in control of the offense that okay,

243
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: you're right, but Mark Sanchez, you know what you're gonna

244
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: get this is this is someone that Kubia clearly trust.

245
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean and sounds like when back when it's in

246
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: April and May. Maybe it's lip service, but at this

247
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: point he's also been their best thrower on the field.

248
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not perfect, but like the throw he

249
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: made to Dmarrius Thomas beautiful cats. But I mean he's

250
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: got the best chemistry with Denver starting offense of all

251
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks there. He looks off some defenders, he shows

252
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: some things that young quarterbacks don't always show. I like

253
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: what I've seen out of him, And to me, the

254
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Broncos aren't about their quarterback, They're about everything else around it.

255
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: That's the same as last year. Here's what Kubik had

256
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: to say about Mark Sanchez and whether he had a

257
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: future with the Broncos. Mark has done a great job

258
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the off season and training camp

259
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: where in the process of putting this football team together

260
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: right now. So that's going to take up the next

261
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: three or four days. Hardly a glowing investment of the

262
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: man's future. And that's a that's and the answer to

263
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: the question, will Sanchez beyond the team? So he couldn't

264
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: have been more evasive. It would be a shock if

265
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: he is. They can say four and a half million

266
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: if they cut him and they get their seventh round

267
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: pickback from the Eagles. I wouldn't be surprised if they

268
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: bring in another veteran quarterback that started some games in

269
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: the in in the NFL, not the challenge to start,

270
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: but to have him in the room just to be

271
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: there and who knows in case of emergency, because because

272
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: people wanted Paxton Lynch to push for the job, but

273
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: he really didn't do it in the preseason either. Um,

274
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: you guys prepared for Geno Smith in the f C

275
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: Championship Game for the dever Broncos. Why would the Broncos

276
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: won him? Just get ready, that's all I'm saying. Little tease,

277
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: little look into the for the next quarterback from the

278
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: Jets that washed up entirely. Uh. Moving on the Joey

279
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: Bosa contracts standoff, Oh my god, finally is over. The

280
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: Chargers announced Monday that they have finally signed the first

281
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: round defensive vent to a four year rookie contract. Ones

282
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: end one of the ugliest holdouts we can remember, especially

283
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: in this era in the post uh c B A

284
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: most recent CBA, which is supposed to wipe out these

285
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: type of hold outs, and they have for the most

286
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: part with but for Bosa, it was it just stuck

287
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: and went on and went on. Mark what happened to

288
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: finally get the deal done? Well, the Chargers gave the

289
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: number three overall, picked the largest signing bonus for any

290
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: rookie or veteran in team history. So whether or not

291
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: they bent on all the little nitty gritty of the

292
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: contracts stuff from a week ago, they certainly bent in

293
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: this fashion. And there was an agent that changed as well. Right,

294
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers got their offset language that they were holding

295
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: out for, So that's one thing. But I don't know

296
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: what took so long? Was it worth it? Don't This

297
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: is a guy they had been targeting since last year

298
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: to draft. There were high fives in their war room

299
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: when the Eagles traded up for corson wins. This is

300
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: the guy they've been salvating over and why didn't you

301
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: sign him a month ago? You'd haven't ready to go

302
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: for the season. Well, that that's the thing. There was

303
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: always so little room between the two sides. I think

304
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: that was what got got overlooked that there was there

305
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: was almost nothing between the two sides. And yet, who's

306
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: really going to care in week two or three if

307
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: he's playing fifty snaps and in his playing Well, do

308
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: we really think that it's gonna ruin Joey Bosa's rookie season?

309
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, he's got a couple of weeks here,

310
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: get up to speed, and if he's a great player,

311
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. I'd be more concerned if it was,

312
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, when the Rivers hold out what the Chargers happen.

313
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: That's a quarterback and that's probably a lot harder even

314
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: terms of team leadership to jump up there. This I

315
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: think has split the locker room on some level from

316
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: what we've heard, and there are people pro and not

317
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: pro Bosa on what he did. But you're right, if

318
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: he comes in and he's pushing the pocket in Week

319
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: one like he's just doing what they brought him into do.

320
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: He's got two weeks to get ready. We've seen rookies

321
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: who barely practiced their entire rookie offseason because of injuries

322
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, he he was in the building

323
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: as they built the defense throughout O t s and

324
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: mini camps. It's not like he's coming in fresh. This

325
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: should be forgotten in a month, and if not, if

326
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: it's still popping up, that means that the schism was

327
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: way worse than anybody thought. But about yeah, well that

328
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: could be possible as well. But he seems like a

329
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: polarizing personality as well. So now you drop him back

330
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: in that room and we'll see what happens. Uh, Do

331
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: we have a breaking news? Drop? Sure? Marks Brown's acquired

332
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick in exchange for a punter. Wow,

333
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: celebration music. Nope, that means Andy Lee is worth more

334
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: than barkivous mingo. Well, I like that deal. Well, I

335
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: think the fourth rounder. His NFL career has proven that

336
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: out that Andy Lee is. He's one of the best

337
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: punters in the league, more valuable than well. If you

338
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: watch the Panthers game or any of their preseason games.

339
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: You can understand why they felt desperate to get a punter.

340
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Their punters were atrocious. Fourth round pick though, that's pretty wise,

341
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: I price. But if you're a Super Bowl contender, you

342
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: can say, oh, right, well, we shored up that area

343
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: of our team well. And last year they acquired Andy

344
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: Lee as the central cog of their offense. It was

345
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: we're going to punt the balls forty times and he's

346
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: the best going. This is Sashy Brown just once again, uh,

347
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: proving proven his dominance over the NFL. You know they

348
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: they traded him for a seventh round pick last year,

349
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: or they acquired him for a seventh round pick last year.

350
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: Now Sashi comes in, he gets a fourth He's three

351
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: rounds better than the old chumps. They're gonna have as

352
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: many picks the next two years as the Cowboys got

353
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: after the Herschel Walker Tree. Does that mean the Brown

354
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: is gonna win three Super Bowls in the next seven years?

355
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Let's worry about winning three games. Here's the thing with

356
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: all those picks. How many wide receivers did they take?

357
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: Other than there's an issue here because too many wide

358
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: receivers and how many have stepped up right zero at

359
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: this point. Well, they haven't had the chance for early snaps,

360
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: so you're right, you have to maybe keep trading. You

361
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: can't bring in seventeen rookies every year. Moving on, finally, Uh,

362
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: big old hashtag controversy broke out in the NFL this

363
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: weekend around Colin Kaepernick, the forty Niners quarterback. Who. Uh,

364
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: this is something that happen going on, but it was

365
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: only noticed now that he's been refusing to stand up

366
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: for the playing of the national anthem and protest of

367
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities

368
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: in the United States. Uh. He did it at least

369
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: one other preseason game, but it was after the forty

370
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: Niners preseason loss to the Packers that Levi Stadium on

371
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: Friday night. Uh, that Kaepernick spoke out, and he's actually

372
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: spoke to Steve Wise. She had this to say, I'm

373
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: not gonna stand up to show pride in a flag

374
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.

375
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: To me, this is bigger than football. It would be

376
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: selfish on my part to look the other way. There

377
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: are bodies in the streets and people are getting paid

378
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: leave and getting away with murder. The forty Diners then

379
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: released a statement essentially um playing both sides of the fence,

380
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: which they had to hear, saying that you know the

381
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: it's an honor to be able to U be a

382
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: part of the national anthem, but we you have the

383
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: right not to be a part of it if you wish. UM,

384
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: what are your initial thoughts to the whole controversy West

385
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: the American flag as a symbol, it means different things

386
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: to different people. The national anthem is symbolic. It means

387
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: different things to different people. We can all take what

388
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: we want for him from it. But Colin Kaepernick also

389
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: is a symbol of the American dream. Bi racial kid, adopted,

390
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: grows up four point oh student, could have gone pro

391
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: in baseball or football. Who's who's more representative of American

392
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: dream than Colin Kaepernick. I just find that interesting that

393
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: he kind of He's talking about an issue that's on

394
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people's minds and a lot of people

395
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: view it in different ways. I'm fine with him kind

396
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: of taking a stand and having people having this awareness

397
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: on people's minds to discuss an issue that's very important

398
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: right now. On one hand, it's kind of a brave

399
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: notion to do this, especially at a time as a

400
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: player where he has he cannot be in a weaker position. Uh,

401
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: it leaves him wide open, you would think to a

402
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: team deciding to wash its hands of him. But he's

403
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: making the decision that this is bigger than what's going

404
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: on in the field. So the timing may not be

405
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: good for his career, but he's deciding to talk about it.

406
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: And I think it's very clear to him to us

407
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: that this is more important to him and who he

408
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: is as a person than whether or not he's you know,

409
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: earning points at and the pecking order of the of

410
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: the nine roster. I mean this is this is a

411
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: bold move, and I I don't I I saw tons

412
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: of hot takes all weekend. I get it. Um, there's people.

413
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: There's never been a time in our country where people

414
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: seem more divided about so many things. But if you

415
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 1: love America, you have to love the fact that what

416
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: makes the country what it is is that people are

417
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: allowed to coexist with completely different viewpoints and allowed by

418
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: free speech to criticize them. That's right, It's the most

419
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: American thing possible is to make a protest. I mean

420
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: that that is that is America in a nutshell. And

421
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: I think what's in arguable with this is how effective

422
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: it has been. He has taken in a very simple,

423
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: non threatening gesture while hundreds of people at that stadium

424
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 1: are probably using the bathroom during that national anthem and

425
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: or talking or doing whatever during the national anthem. It's

426
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: not like it's some sanctified thing that everyone has to

427
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: stop for. By doing something very simple and peaceful, uh

428
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: during the national anthem, he has gotten the entire country

429
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: to be talking about this. Now people aren't necessarily always

430
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: talking about the um sent the actual sentiments that he's

431
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: talking about, which is a pressing black people. I don't

432
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: know if people have gotten into the gut to that,

433
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: but for the people that are really angry with Colin Kaepernick,

434
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: I'd say listen to to his press conference on Sunday

435
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: because who want to? Maybe not, but I think they

436
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: would understand it more and and what I would take

437
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: away from that is he was ready for everything that's coming,

438
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: and he wants to talk about this, and that it's

439
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: all very well thought out. It's a different Colin Kaepernick

440
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: because we talk about a quarterback that does not like

441
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: to talk to the press. One two word answers. If

442
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: you watch and hear what he had to say yesterday,

443
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: he absolutely this is a topic he cares about, he's

444
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: thought about. We're not asking to be a seventy five

445
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: year old wise in person that's seen the earth to

446
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: what it is. It's had his age point where we

447
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: are is right now at that departure point. But he was.

448
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: I thought he did a good job explaining where his

449
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: heart was at. It's a good point because I remember

450
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: when he his star was at its apex when we

451
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: cover that Super Bowl against the Ravens. He was a

452
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: guy that was very shy around the media, didn't have

453
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: a lot to say when everyone wanted a piece of him.

454
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: So I would have never predicted four years later that

455
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: he'd be in the middle of this. And one more

456
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: note in terms of little history. Twenty years ago, my

457
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: mood abdul Rauf, who was on the Denver Nuggets, was

458
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: suspended by the NBA for a game for refusing to

459
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: stand for the national anthem before they worked out um

460
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: a compromise. I would think the NFL, it would the

461
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: NFL should still give this a wide berth put it

462
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: that way, because if the NFL decided to get involved

463
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: with this, it would cause an uproar that the league

464
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: does not want anything to do with her. They quickly did.

465
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: They released the statement, which indicated to me, that's his

466
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: right and he can do what he wants. Shows you

467
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: how much things have changed. Yeah, that's it. It's a

468
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: great point. And and I and I've heard people. I

469
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: think one important thing he kept saying was that he

470
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: he knows that his it's not about him, that he's

471
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: representing people that don't have a press conference, that don't

472
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: get noticed. Uh, if they wanted to make a stand

473
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: in whatever jobs or anything that they do, he's he's

474
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: representing those people. One last thing I do want to

475
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: throw out there, Novarro Bowman, because we do have to

476
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: see how this will play in that locker room if

477
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be around. Uh. Told Steve Weisch this weekend,

478
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: things like this break teams apart, and we can't let

479
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: that happen. Colin chose to do this. We know Colin

480
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: and we support him. We don't think he's a bad

481
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: teammate because he decided to vote his opinion basically said

482
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: two different things in the course of two sentences, So

483
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: that might give you an idea what Kaepernick's walk into

484
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: in that locker room now. So well, it's worth something

485
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: a track worth pointing out that Kaepernick has not been

486
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: the most popular guy in that locker roomber the last

487
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: few years. In fact, he's been a divisive force according

488
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: to all the reports out there, and his spot on

489
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,239
Speaker 1: this roster might depend on how well Christian Ponder and

490
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: Jeff drisk will play in the in the preseason finale, Well,

491
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: let's let's talk a little bit about the football of

492
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: it all while while we're here, because it is a

493
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: fascinating story. I mean, I find I found the story

494
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: and it and the responses to it. It certainly was

495
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: something we haven't exactly seen. But from the football perspective,

496
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: what are the odds he's on this team in two weeks?

497
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: Jay Glazer reported, you know, essentially that he might have

498
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: an uphill battle even to make to make this squad.

499
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: That there's two teams right now where the starting quarterbacks

500
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: have not been named, the Rams, which it looks like Keenum,

501
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: and then the fort Well. Mike Gara Folo also reported

502
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: that he's got twenty five million dollars left in insurance money,

503
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: which works in the same way as r G three

504
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: with what kept him on the Redskins roster last year.

505
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: But glued to the bench that if Colin Kaepernick gets

506
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: injured and it's an injury that carries over into two

507
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen, then I believe thet oh and fourteen point

508
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: five million for two seventeen, that's the right figure, and

509
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: there'd be a lot of motivation to not play a

510
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: quarterback that if you watched the game over the weekend,

511
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: his arm does not look ready for prime time on

512
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: any level too. Well, that's the thing. He doesn't have

513
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: the same athleticism that that he used to So it's

514
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: like these two feren story, two stories differently, and yet

515
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: he was known as a divisive force in the locker room.

516
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: I thought the way that they handled everything so far,

517
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: but the forty Niners, Kaepernick and the entire team has

518
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: been pretty excellent. He called, He called the team meeting.

519
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: They hashed it out. The most telling quote I saw

520
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: from many of the teammates was from Daniel Kilgore, their

521
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, who said, initially when he heard it, the

522
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: whole thing pissed him off. Kaepernick no standing pissed him off.

523
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: It got him angry, and he said, after listening to

524
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: Kaepernick and understanding where he was coming from, UH, that

525
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: that he respected it, that he supported it, and he

526
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: thought act and maybe this is just what players say,

527
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: but he thought it had a chance to bring them

528
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: together a little bit, that they hashed it out. Alright, guys,

529
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: good talk. Let's uh, let's move on and get into

530
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: the preseason games. UH all the Week three recap, folks.

531
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: Who's excited? Oh yeah, I'm excited because when this preseason

532
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: Week three ended Sunday night, I had that last Sunday

533
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: Night game with your boy, Mike Tariko. I'm doing a

534
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: great job two games this week on play by play.

535
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Then that was the end. That was the end of

536
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: the preseason that matters. You know, we'll be covering Thursday Night.

537
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: But it's like, okay, we wrapped that up. The next

538
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: time I'm really focused in on a football game. It's

539
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: one that matters. And since you brought up Mike Tarriko,

540
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: you know we should discuss that. I am not happy

541
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: with the language in this contract between the NFL and

542
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: UH Sunday Night Thursday Night Football. You don't want an

543
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: angry day in NFL, Tariko should absolutely be calling that

544
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Thursday night game. As much as I love Al Michael's.

545
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: Give al Who's, by the way, not for nothing. In

546
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: his early seventies, celebrated his fiftieth wedding anniversary yesterday. Congratulations. Um,

547
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: how do you know about it? Well, they went They

548
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: went into it on the on the broadcast anyway, So

549
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: all on Sundays and Tariko on Thursdays sounded great until

550
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: Tarriko the torch was passed, but instead they have Tarrico

551
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: on some type of host role, which just seems like

552
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: a little course correction. I'm not happy about quickly eclipse

553
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: the Bosa thing as the worst contract language around. Why

554
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: would you not want the best play by play guy

555
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: that we have right now doing primetime NFL games? Michael,

556
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 1: I put him ahead, Michael, I am looking forward. I

557
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: like Al Michael's fine, But Tariko, you're talking about splitting

558
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: up two broadcasts. It's a shame. We don't have to

559
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: read well, and you think about it for the fan.

560
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, you you have Al Michael's who's not going

561
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: to be able to prepare as much for two games.

562
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, when he's at point, you could have Tariko

563
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 1: on one, Michael's on one. Now, Michael's that's irish. Can

564
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: you get Park Avenue on the phone. We'd like to

565
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: talk to Roger by the end of the show, efforting,

566
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, let's talk about it. Will

567
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: start with the New England Patriots at the Carolina Panthers,

568
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: and uh once again for the third consecutive game. We

569
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: can use a little thrown a sleeves for this, I

570
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: think a little bit. That's a little bit. The third

571
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: consecutive game. Jimmy Garoppolo slow start, didn't do much. He

572
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: managed one first down, he managed a first sounded just

573
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: one of his first four possessions. That Tommy Brady comes in,

574
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: who's not playing until week five as we know, and

575
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: West the difference between the two guys. Let's again weeks ago,

576
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was asked, is there anyway Jimmy Garoppolo could

577
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: stay in the lineup? What's Tom Brady's off suspension? The

578
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: difference between these guys Stark West. That was a laughable

579
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: question at the time. The person who asked it should

580
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: have been fired forth with and without any follow up questions.

581
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: That was just a ridiculous thing to say in this game.

582
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's only a couple of quarters in a

583
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: preseason game without Gronk, without Danny Amendola, without some key players.

584
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,239
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady, at this point in his career, not

585
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: known for attacking down the field, comes in and immediately

586
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: his first two completions are longer than any Garoppolo completion

587
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: of the preseason except a screen pass to James White,

588
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's very telling. It's awfully hard to

589
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: get a read on Jimmy Garoppolo right now. I'm not

590
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: sold on him. I don't think he's an asset for

591
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots right now. It really was remarkable how ferocious

592
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: Brady looked. The worst the worst person in America to

593
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: be on Friday Night was a J. Derby. After he

594
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 1: dropped the third down to kill Brady's third drive, Brady

595
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: went over to the sideline, looking miserable, thinking, I only

596
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: got three or four drives, you know, for the next month,

597
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: and you're gonna ruin this ad Therby, You're not playing

598
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: with me again. He didn't say anything. He just he

599
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: just he came out there and played with a regular

600
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: season sort of ferocity. You know what I'm saying. You

601
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: can just see I mean, is there any element to

602
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: this where I'm not saying that they're keeping it under

603
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: wraps for Garoppolo, but it's just that are they going

604
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: to reveal much about their offense? The one thing with Garoppolo,

605
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't. He doesn't have half of his

606
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: weapons on the field, so I get the shots down

607
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: field he show Bradies, but Brady's Brady, and so I

608
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: mean what Jimmy Garoppol is a massive step down from Brady?

609
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: But is he would he? Is he all right for

610
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: four games for them? I mean, I don't think has been,

611
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: but he he hasn't. We have some evidence he hasn't

612
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: really shown one way or another, or even compared to

613
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: other young quarterbacks. It's it is tough to get a

614
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: feel of him. He showed it was a little jump.

615
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: He made a couple of bad decisions. It's interesting that

616
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: you have pointed out his quiet feet in his pocket

617
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: presence when a lot of people have major issues with

618
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: his pockets. Well, he took a step back in that department.

619
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: That there's a lot. I mean, you'd be enjoying Dan

620
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: some of the talk that's going on in New England

621
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: this this week. From it, there was conspiracy theories about

622
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, Brady's uh, you know finger uh that he

623
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been happy with Belichick, how how this has all

624
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: been handled, him coming off the bench and not playing

625
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: a lot in the prinsion blah blah. And then there's

626
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: also the questions, you know this was coming, people wondering

627
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: if Jacoby Brissette, who's probably looked like the best rookie

628
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league other than uh other, I don't know,

629
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: who's put up good numbers. People are saying, well, maybe

630
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: Jacoby Percett should be starting over Jimmy garb because it

631
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: wasn't bad, because it was the best. By the way,

632
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: they went two and two with Brady multiple times last

633
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: couple of years. I mean, if they go two and

634
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: two with Jimmy g and Brady comes in Week five

635
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: against Cleveland, I think this team is going to be

636
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: just fine. They go two and two with Garoppolo, then

637
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: Brady comes in and he needs his two and two stretch,

638
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden half the season and we

639
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: have I mean, look out, that's the Brady day. The

640
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: trouble of caring too much about the preseason was on

641
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. Think about Cam Newton's

642
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. Rookie preseason was a disaster. Think about what

643
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: Cam Newton did in this game, thirty nine for a

644
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: hundred yards in two picks, and that's boosted by him

645
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: staying in deep into the second half, into back against backups,

646
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: just because they wanted to get him some positive snaps.

647
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: At one point, I think it was five for fourteen

648
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 1: with two picks. Ron Rivera looked like he was gonna implode.

649
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: He looked super upset. All right, let's move on. By

650
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: the way, this Pat's defense is looking pretty good. That's

651
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: who needs to carry the team. Okay, okay, moving it? Wait?

652
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: Can I move? Okay? Good, Let's move on to the

653
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins. Greg and uh, you know

654
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: that backfield in Washington continues to look like it's higher fire,

655
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Yeah, you know, two lane product Robert Kelly

656
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: probably gonna could start for them. We fun over, that's

657
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: not that's not a good sign for them. Keith Marshall injured.

658
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: That guy's always injured. First of all, Matt Jones still injured.

659
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: This is this backfield. Ryan Kerrigan need an m R.

660
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: I After that game, will see if that that series.

661
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: De Sean Jackson's had a really nice training camp overall

662
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: and backed it up with this preseason looks very good.

663
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: Pass rusher Preston Smith's second year guy, looked great against

664
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: the Bills. I think universally in this room we expect

665
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: um Kirk Cousins to come back down to earth. If

666
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: that really happens, and he has like a kind of

667
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: a middle link season, this offense is not gonna be

668
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, I mean this is this was a weird,

669
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: a weird game to watch because the Bills rested so

670
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: many starters. Rex always in reactive mode because he's had

671
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: so many injuries this preseason, just like rested everyone in

672
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: the third week of the preseason, which is not something

673
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: you normally would do. I get it. And he and

674
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: he regretted playing Tyler Tyrod Taylor at all because he

675
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: almost got hurt. To ask you a follow up question,

676
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: is it generally a good thing when you're coaching any

677
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: sport is in reactive and Rex is always that way.

678
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: This feels a little fear filled to me to suddenly

679
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: stit sit half your roster in a preseason game. It's like,

680
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: you know what, you never know they're going to get hurt.

681
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: Go out and play them. They still need the experience.

682
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: This was this was your third game. The two teams

683
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: that are the most reactive or whatever team Rex Ryan's

684
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: coaching and the Dallas Cowboys, they always hardcore in the

685
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: offseason that they're whatever their problems are, they will go

686
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: directly at that thing and do something obvious. One thing

687
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: I did not expect to write down this year, Reggie

688
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: Bush looks solid. Sayers, guys, it's a little surprised, nice,

689
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: little shocked that he is their backup running back. At

690
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 1: the end of the line, my notes looked a little

691
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: different on Reggie pushing that game, still pushing that narrative

692
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: after all these years. Greg I thought he looked like

693
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: the running back version of Tony Romo. Let's uh, let's

694
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers at Nolan's Saints, uh and West.

695
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes it makes you think the inherent uh,

696
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: think of the inherent meaninglessness of our jobs. Because a

697
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: lot of Sammy Coats posts on this website and around

698
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: the internet, but the Sammy Coats wasn't much part of

699
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: the scheme in this third preseason game. Was he Well,

700
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: if if I hear what you're saying, we should basically

701
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,479
Speaker 1: all take May through August the end of August off work.

702
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: That's an old Sessler Uh Well, Mark might have been

703
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: onto something there, because you know, just like our Jimmy

704
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: garoppolo analysis will be made entirely meaningless in a couple

705
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: of weeks. All of these Sammy Coats post from early

706
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: August have been rendered meaningless by Eli Rodgers, who's running

707
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: as the first team slot receiver. I think Big Ben's

708
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: first two drives were all no huddle and they were

709
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 1: two touched on drives. Marcus Sweeten, Antonio Brown on the outside,

710
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: Eli Rodgerson slot for the entire drive, and Jesse James

711
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: got pretty pretty heavily targeted as Ladarius Green's fill in

712
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: as well. We're noting Coats made a couple of plays

713
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: in the game and we'll get some snap. I think

714
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: Big Ben's one of those quarterbacks that has an enormous

715
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 1: amount of influence over who's out there with him, who's

716
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: out there, you know, in the first string offense, and

717
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: who he can trust. And he's been hard on a

718
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: on a couple of wide receivers over the years that

719
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: if they aren't picking it up. You kind of read

720
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: the tea leaves with big Ben statements about that and

721
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: Coats has been a disappointment. What a preseason that he

722
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: knows how to do a preseason. He plays two drives,

723
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: he gets two touchdowns, that's it, it's over. And he

724
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: and he threw almost every single snap he was on

725
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: the field. They just got it over as fast as possible.

726
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: The big thing I thought for the Steelers was it

727
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: was nice to see Levy on Bell looking like Levy

728
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: and Bell, you look good. He looked really good. We

729
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: won't see him for a few weeks. Speaking of running

730
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: backs coming back from lower leg issues, Uh, Chris Wesley.

731
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking with the Awakening with Kristin Michael, but you

732
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: are on the hype transfer c C J continc Spiller

733
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: continues to be a guy that you're into. Well, I mean,

734
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: let's see how long it lasts. He hasn't we He

735
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: hasn't really shown two thousand twelve bills for him in

736
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: a while. He did look good the other night. He

737
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: looks quicker. I don't blame him for last year, considering

738
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: he had August knee surgery and it really hindered him

739
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: all throughout the season. So I am looking forward to

740
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: seeing how the st U c J. Spiller this year. Well,

741
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: people say, what can you learn from the preseason? You

742
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: can learn that c. J. Spiller is gonna be a

743
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: big part of this offense, that he's part of their

744
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: starting group. At when we went into the preseason, we

745
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: didn't know if he was going to make the team. Like,

746
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: that's something that you can learn. We can also learn

747
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: they're not help their offensive line. The Saints a little

748
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: bit out of nowhere, but with thrown Armstad hurt is

749
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: a total mess. Has been a disaster, Breeze has been hit.

750
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you want the game with Clowney two weeks ago.

751
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: Is was a clinic and how to get your butt kicked.

752
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: If you're an offensive line, They're gonna have to invent

753
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: a position for Andrews Pete to play because he's failed

754
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: out at every position. That if Armstead isn't healthy, that

755
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: all that unskilled position talk we've talked about, or I've

756
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: talked about for New Orleans kind of falls apart. I

757
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: thought we trade Pete for Luke jokel Well that accomplished anything? Well,

758
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: did you watch Luke Jocolic guard which we can get

759
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: into down the road, but that had problems. Little guard

760
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: talk coming up later in the show Cleveland and Tampa

761
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: Bay Mark Cecil Josh Gordon, forget about rust. This guy

762
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: looks like the guy that tore up the league a

763
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. The Browns are a very weird team.

764
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's there should be something disturbing about the

765
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: fact that someone that has not played in a year

766
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: and a half was immediately the best player on your roster.

767
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 1: But Gordon looked immense He looked fantastic on two big catches.

768
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: But the for me, if if you're a Bucks fan,

769
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: you have to be happy with what Jamis Winston did

770
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: against this defense. It was not a perfect game, and

771
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: it hasn't been a perfect game for Jamis Winston in

772
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: the perfect preseason form in general. But he carved up

773
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: a wanting Brown's defense, one that I think could be

774
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: one of the worst in the league. And the Browns

775
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: on offense, the only way they have to counter is

776
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: these big shots down field. There's they had eight quarterback sacks.

777
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: They were wrecked. R G three is not going to

778
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: stay on two feet if that continues. They have no

779
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: sustaining ground game. And really the only thing that you

780
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 1: see is that it's Terrell Prior or Gordon or filling

781
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 1: the blank going thirty five yards down the field once

782
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: or twice a game. I just drafted Duke Johnson. Isn't

783
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: he going to be a part of this offense? Yeah?

784
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: I think Duke Johnson can be a nice part of it.

785
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: But but there's no fear if you're facing the Browns,

786
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: He's he He's not going to unless things just change.

787
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: Their offensive line looks very bad. I'm getting very incomplete.

788
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm getting a Rex vibe though from Hugh. Hugh Jackson

789
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: when he was asked at halftime about the game, he

790
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: starts talking about not picking up third downs and that

791
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, the the offense isn't your problem. First of all,

792
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: they did some nice things on offense. It wasn't really

793
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: their fault that they were way behind. The defense is

794
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: their problem. You know, he needs to be just this

795
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: focus of that because they have those weapons he talked about,

796
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: that's a nice group. I mean, that is a monster

797
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver. They have the two biggest wide receivers in

798
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: the league, and then you have Coleman and Vernage with

799
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: him in a couple of decent running back. You've got weapons,

800
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't like any offense in the

801
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: league where you can't run the ball at all. And

802
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: all we've seen so far is Isaiah Crowe l with

803
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: the occasional decent run. Throw this out there. Maybe Duke

804
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: Johnson isn't a pro bowler. We'll see. I'm just now

805
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: we're our bets here. I thought he was gonna be

806
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: like he's like a poor man's Geo Bernard. I think

807
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: he'll be a similar but more physic. Can we talk

808
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: about the Bucks first? I would like to, And I

809
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: was just gonna set up one thing. Roberto Aguayo big

810
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: day for the rookie kicker, second round pick, hit all

811
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: six of his kicks, three extra points and three field goals.

812
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: That is, people like to marginalize the kicker, but that

813
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: is a big storyline for Tampa, who we're heading into

814
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: a potential nightmare scenario of this guy being a huge

815
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: bust in them having egg all over their face. What

816
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: else was Yeah, that was good to see for a

817
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: guy like that who was already embattled to work his

818
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: way out of it. But that pass rushing Tampa, which

819
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: we haven't seen in years an idea most improved position groups.

820
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: I had to shoehorn the Bucks in there because they

821
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: look so good in training, training camp, in the first

822
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: preseason games, and then eight sacks. Noah Spence looks like

823
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: a first year difference maker for them, and they also

824
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: the Bucks on offense, they ran hurry up nearly the

825
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: entire first half and it and it fit very well

826
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: with Jamis wins. They're fun to watch. Watched that Jamis

827
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: Winston highlights package, and it's hard not to be a

828
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston fan. When he watched that. He reminds me

829
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 1: so much of Ben Roethlisberger when he was younger. Okay,

830
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about Green Bay and San Francisco. Oh, I

831
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: am excited about the Packers offense being back to what

832
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: they were and maybe better. You know why, because not

833
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: only do you have Aaron Rodgers back with a healthy

834
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb and Eddie Lacy got his weight down and

835
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson's back, but Greg Jared Cook. Let's put a

836
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 1: little over under game with Jared Cook. You ready, Okay?

837
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: Tight end? Of course, he's bounced around the league high

838
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: on talents and stakes, a flawed player, but everyone's always wondered,

839
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: what if you gave him a good quarterback. Now he's

840
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: got the best sixty receptions they believe that would be

841
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: a career high. That would definitely be a career high

842
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: when you played with the quarterbacks he's played with. That

843
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise him. I'll go under. I'm gonna go under barely.

844
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: He spent his whole career with Jeff Fisher. I think

845
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a big partist touchdowns under under. But

846
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 1: i'ms high on him. I think he has sixty yards.

847
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: Just not a Pro Bowl guy, but that's a big

848
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: addition if we can get that out. But as many

849
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: weapons as they have have, they don't need him to

850
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: catch nine hundred yards and sixty passes, and he can

851
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: still have a big influence on the and and it

852
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if he went over on some of

853
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: those because they don't. They don't really have that third

854
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: receiver that's stepped up, and maybe he's that guy. I'm

855
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna look at jem Michael Finley's final year before before

856
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: the before the neck injury, well, Jeric Cooks, not Jeremichael Finley. Well,

857
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: I'm just out of curiosity. When they had a tight end.

858
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: They could believe in sixty one catches on a D

859
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: eight targets, six hundred sixty seven yards. I could see

860
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: something like that two touchdowns. He had eight touchdowns of the

861
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 1: the year before that. That's just gonna make that offense

862
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: even harder to if they can get a guy who

863
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: can make some plays. Just stretches the scene. Um and

864
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: also Greg from that game, Um, there are no skill

865
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: players in San Francisco. San Francisco has been a bad way.

866
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: Got your boy Jeremy Curley through a trade. Well, that

867
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: that should solve everything. Well, reeks, that's a bad sign

868
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: for Bruce Ellington, who heard his hamstring in that game.

869
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: That indicates that maybe he's not going to be back

870
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: on the field. I mean, Gabbert, Gabbert just is kind

871
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: of there, and he's just that being there is better

872
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: than the rest of the game. Who's the third string

873
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 1: quarterback that's definitely gonna play this year? Jeff Drisco. Oh yeah,

874
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing him the preseason. I'm not

875
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: sure how much you should be excited about. We're gonna

876
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: see a lot of quarterbacks. And I don't even remember

877
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: this game, but I wrote down playing a lot worse

878
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: than the numbers indicate. For drisk On, his numbers are

879
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: bad so and just another landing spot for Gina Smith

880
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: potentially to rest that one, I could see, you know

881
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,959
Speaker 1: what that one? I could That one makes a little

882
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: bit of sense, because what are they trying to do

883
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:17,959
Speaker 1: right now? Moving on? Well, did you was there second

884
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: after that? That's it? I mean, why not? Why not?

885
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: It's a square root of boring the Chiefs and Bear

886
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of boring, um mark business as usual with Alex Smith,

887
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: who was effective. They're not going to get you excited,

888
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: but they look like they're ready for the season, don't they. Well,

889
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: I think it's you know what, they did a lot

890
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: of very Alex smithy ish type things, and they were

891
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: efficient and they completely dominated the Bears. And one of

892
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: the reasons is that, I mean, give me a break. First,

893
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: four drives for Cutler, four punts including three straight, three

894
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: and ounce, and a strip sacked to end. They have

895
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: the Bears have, literally, unless they are absolutely into hiding

896
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: everything from us until September, zero identity on offense zero.

897
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,919
Speaker 1: The only chance they had all half for a big

898
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: play was a horrible drop by all Sean Jeffrey downfield there.

899
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: It is almost as if, and we've seen this west

900
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: never time on this on Saturday with John Fox occasionally

901
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: the game plan is simply lose twenty to nothing, because

902
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: we saw it against the Sahawks last year, and it

903
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: as if they came into this game having done literally

904
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: zero planning at all, and it showed, and the poor

905
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: people in Chicago that paid money for tickets to this

906
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: ridiculous affair should all be getting the refunds back. It

907
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: was a joke of a game for the Bears. If

908
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: there's anybody you should be giving up a mid round

909
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: pick for a punter, it's John Fox, who sometimes sometimes

910
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: decides going into a game he's just gonna punt the

911
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: entire game. I think Kevin white struggles is one of

912
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: the big stories of the preseason. They threw the ball

913
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: to him I think eight times this preseason, and those

914
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: eight throws gained twelve yards. The only time they could

915
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: get him the ball where those quick quick outs where

916
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: he gains three yards, he doesn't look like he knows

917
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: where to go. Jake Cutler called him out for at

918
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: and Jake Cutler sort of passively aggressively implied like we're

919
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: just putting this guy out there before he's really ready

920
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: that he's out there, he doesn't know what to do.

921
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: It's a problem when when people were talking, you know,

922
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: Jeffrey White and White right now looks like he's gonna

923
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: be hurting that offense, not helping one thing on the

924
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs real quick. I am on board with Greg this

925
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: is We've got a career year for Alex Smith coming.

926
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: I now, wow, I'm what is a career year from

927
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: Alex Smith? By the way, what are we talking. Let's

928
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: let's look at his statu room. I'd say passing touchdowns,

929
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: maybe five rushing. I I think I think it just

930
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: kind of hit me. Andy Reid has been coaching his

931
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: ass off. Whatever the ceiling for this offense and Alex

932
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: Smith and this team is, I think they're gonna hit it.

933
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: I think he's in year four. There's so much contin nuity.

934
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: They have Connley, they have Kelsey, they have Charles coming back.

935
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: I just think Alex Smith, however well he can play,

936
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna play that well. He's never passed for three

937
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: three d yards or more than twenty three touchdowns in

938
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: the season. And this off and Macklenus looked very good

939
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: this preseason. Conley has made plays and they didn't even

940
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: have anything at wide receiver two seasons ago. There are

941
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 1: more weapons here, Kelsey throw him into the mix. There

942
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: are more big plays happening. Not eighty eight yard sizzlers

943
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: down this, down the sideline, but he's making chunk plays

944
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: down the field. And their second round rookie. I believe

945
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: Chris Jones has been killing it this preseason. And I

946
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: think Reid is one of the more underrated offensive coaches

947
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, and I think it really helped

948
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: him to not be the GM. He's a great example

949
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: and he's talked about it, and listening to John Dorsey

950
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: talk on these telecoms, he seems I don't know, it

951
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: just seems like a very smart GM. It's a nice

952
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: combination there. Let's move on to Detroit and Baltimore and

953
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: Chris Westling. Joe Flacco made his debut in the preseason

954
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: eleven of sixteen, coming back from that a c L

955
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: tear that he's not but he looked like he's ready

956
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: to go. Right. He's got eyes for Mike Wallace. You

957
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: can see that right on the first couple of drives.

958
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 1: And my takeaway continues to be. It's only a matter

959
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: of time before Terence West takes Justin for sets starting job.

960
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: There is a mountain of difference not only between the

961
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: way West ran his first couple of years in the

962
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: league and how he's running now, but also between how

963
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: he's running and how Justin Forcett's running. West is exploding

964
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: through the holes. He's decisive one cutting downhill, which is

965
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: exactly what you want to see out of your running backs.

966
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: I think for Set had a chance to be cut

967
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 1: if Kenneth Dickson didn't hurt his knee in this game,

968
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: and he's now out a month, and so now they

969
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: don't quite have the same depth they had a week ago.

970
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: Otherwise I wouldn't have been surprised for you to be

971
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: right and that West would have been the starter on

972
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: the Detroit side of the ball. West Amer Abdulah got

973
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: his first action of the preseason, and he showed you

974
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: enough with that injured shoulder right well. I think there

975
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: was the one play where he got to the edge

976
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: and and hit the pylon for about a twenty yard touchdown. Run.

977
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: Didn't do much other than that because their offensive line

978
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,879
Speaker 1: stuff as an open many holes and by the way,

979
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: we have our first sandwich wager closed for season. Oh

980
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: not happy about this, but you know, a wager is

981
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: a wager, and Benjamin Watson tours Achilles out for the

982
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: year and you will eat well because of it. Listen,

983
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm not excited about it. We just it's just a

984
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: matter of bookkeeping, that's all. I think. Next time I

985
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: do some like mid August over under sandwich bet with

986
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: you who's won like seven sandwiches? Me off this at

987
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: this point is if they if they go to the

988
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: season where they broken bone or ripped up tendon, the

989
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: bet is off. I mean, if they've got to be

990
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: healthy starting week one, I would, but the language was

991
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: actually baked into the wager. We talked about it. It's

992
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: on me. I should have I should have mentioned this,

993
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: but I mean, you know it's it's poor. Do you

994
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: want me to I could. I'll wash my hands and

995
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: if I get the if I can take it in

996
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: the standings, I don't need the sandwich. No, next time.

997
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: Next time I'll buy you a giant sandwich for you

998
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:49,959
Speaker 1: to eat. Enjoy yourself. Moving now, that is some that's

999
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: some quiet storm right there. I enjoyed it. Moving on

1000
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles in Indianapolis Colts les. You wrote

1001
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: in our what We Learned You've heard this story before.

1002
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 1: The Colts got pushed around on both sides of the

1003
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Is this the softest team in football?

1004
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: Don't we ask that every year? They're incredibly soft. They've

1005
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: lacked backbone throughout the Pagano, Griggs and era, and it

1006
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: looks like they're going to again because the defense, I

1007
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: don't even know if they have any starters left. They're

1008
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: all injured. In the offensive line, They've drafted nine offensive

1009
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: linemen in the past four years. And the fact that's

1010
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: the facts remain that Andrew Luck has been hit more

1011
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: than any quarterback since he entered the league, and the

1012
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: big ballards on five yard effort in December of two

1013
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: thou twelve remains the loan one yard rushing game of

1014
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: the Andrew Luck era. The only thing that, oh my god,

1015
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: he's been in the league so long five years. That's insane.

1016
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: That's that. Oh, they played a very good defense in

1017
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: this game. But when you watch other teams around the league,

1018
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: like the Titans, for instance, completely reorganized their offense in

1019
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: one offseason, and you look at how many chances Ryan

1020
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: Griggson has had to build both lines on this They

1021
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: are worse than ever. It is mysterious who your boy,

1022
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: philbin joe ye joep is running the Colts offensive line shoes.

1023
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: He has a great reputation. He was the Packers offensive

1024
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: line coach. Is what got him the Dolphins job. But

1025
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: this is gonna be hard. I mean, well, the two

1026
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: guys they thought they can count on. Muhort is now

1027
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: out a month, and their left tackle Costanzo, who has

1028
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: a big money deal, was terrible, has been terrible in

1029
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: the preseason is coming off And maybe it doesn't mean anything.

1030
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Costanzo will be fine, but maybe, But this is

1031
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: the team. Every year there is a team that's so

1032
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: bad in the preseason that can't do anything at all,

1033
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: that everything is so wrong that it actually does carry

1034
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: over into the regular season. And to me, the Colts

1035
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: are that team. It's hiding that Andrew Luck looks nothing

1036
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: like two thousand fifteen Andrew Luck. Now he looks like

1037
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: two fourteen Andrew Luck, and you don't get to see

1038
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: it because of the offensive line. On the other side.

1039
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: Uh Philadelphia, their wide receiver group continues to be hard

1040
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: to make sense of. Well, Chris Givens hard of this

1041
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: game and then was cut the next day. That is

1042
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: not a good situation. Josh Hoff, who seems to drop

1043
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: a pass per game, was their most productive wide receiver.

1044
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: Nelson Agilor, who seems to be locked into the number

1045
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: two job, dropped a past that became an interception, and

1046
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 1: Dorry All green Beckham is used exclusively in the end zone.

1047
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: It's not good. I enjoyed how apoplectic the Colts announcers

1048
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: were in this game. They were totally they were totally existential,

1049
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: existentially like just dread. Here are some actual quotes. That

1050
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 1: flag was our best play, here's is there a wood shed?

1051
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 1: We can take these guys too, And then my favorite one,

1052
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: we're losing the edge. There is no edge that really

1053
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: fearing away from the local pom pom carrying announcers the

1054
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: most of what's kind of the flip side of that. Yeah,

1055
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: it's the flip side of that. I think the Annapolis

1056
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: has seen enough of Ryan Griggson. That's fair. That's fair, alright,

1057
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: Moving on the snoopy bawl eyes, it stays with the

1058
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: Giants or goes to the Giants. I don't remember who

1059
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: won last year. But and that's saying something. Uh, let's

1060
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: talk about the Giants versus not a pretty game for

1061
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: either side. But Victor Cruz played, didn't do much, but

1062
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: he didn't get hurt. Again, that's good. I'd be worried

1063
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: if I'm a Giants fan right now. And I know,

1064
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: um West, you think Eli could have his best year

1065
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 1: ever offensively, and that's certainly all. This could be washed

1066
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: away once the season starts. But they have not looked good.

1067
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: The Jets defense really made Eli in the first team

1068
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: Giants defense look bad. A lot of that had to

1069
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: do with um Moe Wilkerson, who looked dominant at the

1070
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. But I think the Giants have a

1071
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: lot of work to do on the offensive side of

1072
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: the ball. So uh, that's what I took away from them.

1073
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: And on the Jet side, Uh, Wilkerson looked great. And

1074
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: Calvin Pryor is a guy to keep an eye on.

1075
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 1: He he made O d B make a business decision

1076
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: on a play over the middle. He had a sack

1077
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 1: where he just crushed Eli Manning, he made six tackles,

1078
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: he was all over the field. I think he could

1079
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: be making the leap type guy. And finally, Christian Hackenburg

1080
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: um up and down. I think his numbers were pretty

1081
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: bad six of sixteen, but he came in on his

1082
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: first possession and after a drop and um an incomplete pass,

1083
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: completed four consecutive passes, including a touchdown that showed different

1084
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: levels of throws. He's not gonna play any meaningful snats,

1085
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 1: but it was good to see something positive from the kid.

1086
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 1: He also threw an interception that essentially ended the game,

1087
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: but that's what happened at the middle ends. Was this

1088
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: easily since we've been employed at NFL media Now, I

1089
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people don't even know what the

1090
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: Snoopy Bowl is, but by far the dullest of snoopy bowls.

1091
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: I tried to watch this this morning on game Pass

1092
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: and had to get multiple cups of coffee just to

1093
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: keep my eyes open during this. Outside of prior who,

1094
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: you're right, he looks like a badass. I will say

1095
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: that Rex Ryan. The Jets were ready to move on

1096
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: from the Rex Ryan. So we're the fans, but the

1097
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 1: Snoopy Bowl isn't the same anymore with that Rex, because

1098
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: which that's the biggest loss. You know, you're fine the

1099
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: Snoopy This means nothing. It's really for little kids to

1100
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: go to the preseason game and all their friends and stuff.

1101
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: That's how I view the game. But when Rex didd

1102
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: because he was so insane that he took that game

1103
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: so seriously leading to that infamous press conference after he

1104
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: got Sanchez killed by a seventh string offensive line and

1105
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: he went off saying we won the game, we won

1106
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: the Snoopy Bowl. I missed that just for the entertainment value. West.

1107
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: You might remember when Jerry Glanville back, I think in

1108
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: the early nineties, at one point his Atlanta Falcons played

1109
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: two or three teams from California that season, and he

1110
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: had the audacity to wheel like California Trophy down the field.

1111
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 1: And it was before they played the Niners, I believed.

1112
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: And the Niners went out and whipped the Falcons like

1113
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: fifty to three. But it was like until Rex Ryan,

1114
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: there was no one doing this wheeling trophies for ridiculous

1115
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: reasons up and down fields. I hated Jerry with a

1116
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: passion as a Bengals fan back in those days. But

1117
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: the world, the football world needs a Jerry type of figure,

1118
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: right That's why I still believe. You know, when Rex

1119
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 1: and Robert gun will miss him. Maybe we're absolutely we

1120
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: were sick of him now, But I'll grant you this,

1121
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: if if I wasn't tasked with covering the game, I

1122
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: would find Rex Ryan a lot more music. And I

1123
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: don't think we're ever getting rid of Rex and Rob.

1124
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: I think they're lifers. I mean they might not be

1125
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: head coaches in the league again. And he'll be fun

1126
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: to cover um. One other thing on the Jets, Ryan

1127
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick does not looked great, and I wonder how much

1128
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,439
Speaker 1: that is due to the fact that he's not that great.

1129
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: What about that strip sack? Yeah, I mean it was

1130
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: not a good look. But like the I like the

1131
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: Cajones and right only Ryan Fitzpatrick would try to stiff

1132
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: arm Jonathan Hankins a three fifty pound man with his

1133
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: left hand while he's holding the ball with his right

1134
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: hand and then attempt to throw. I mean, he's insane. First,

1135
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, he went to Harvard. He decisions, but he did.

1136
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: He threw a touchdown. He didn't throw an interception of

1137
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs in the preseason. But it's kind of like

1138
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 1: last year where maybe he should have had several interceptions.

1139
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: He's looked rusty. He missed open guys. I need him

1140
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: to get Sharper will see what happens moving on the

1141
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders, and uh, this guy. As

1142
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: I said on the POT a couple weeks ago, I

1143
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: thought he had a retirement press conference, and I thought

1144
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of his ex teammates were there,

1145
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 1: and I thought it was like a real lot of

1146
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: popping circumstance. But Andre Johnson still in the league now

1147
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: on the Titans, and he's working with the first team

1148
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: offense and making some plays for Tennessee. Chris Westling for

1149
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: the Snoop people was the most boring game of the week,

1150
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: and this might have been the most exciting. This Titans

1151
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: team is fun to watch. Andre Johnson played quite a

1152
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: bit with the first team offense. Taj Sharp I think

1153
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: is locked in. I think Richard Matthews is locked in.

1154
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Johnson, for what it's worth, played ten more snaps

1155
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 1: than Richard Matthews with the first team that I don't

1156
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: know if we don't know if that means anything or not.

1157
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: Richard Matthews has been running in that number number one

1158
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: two spot for all of camp, and Kendall Wright still

1159
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: hasn't played at all in the preseason from a hamstring injury.

1160
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that wide receiver order pick shapes

1161
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: that I think sharp is locked in though and West

1162
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: you are all the way back in on DeMarco Murray,

1163
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: you wrote in a recap and or what we learned,

1164
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: the Titans could boast the league's most unstoppable backfield tandem

1165
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: this season, pairing, of course, with the rookie Derrick Henry

1166
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: all the way back as David Amerson, the Raiders cornerback.

1167
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 1: If to Margot Murray's back, he put an open field

1168
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: cut on Amerson that left him just a mess, a

1169
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: puddle of mud on the on the field. He he did,

1170
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: and yet I don't know if he's the best running

1171
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: back on this roster. I mean, I don't think Derrick

1172
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: Henry would be this year's Doug Martin if not h

1173
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: if not for the guy in front of him, to

1174
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: Marco Murray, if not for Kristen Michael and Seattle. He

1175
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: has been so impressive it's it's almost I don't know,

1176
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: it's almost hard to believe. I just want to see it.

1177
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: You want something, keep going, you want some fantasy advice.

1178
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: This is for people that aren't in leagues with like

1179
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: total football heads that that have watched the preseason. But

1180
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: I talked to two friends this weekend who did drafts,

1181
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: and in neither draft was Taj Sharp drafted. Because your

1182
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: average just jumping in guy who does other things and

1183
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: doesn't watch a lot of football has never heard of

1184
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 1: Taj Sharp and he picked him off off waivers for free.

1185
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: So if you're in there one of those leagues, yeah,

1186
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: that's the fantasy corner. I'm not talking to the three

1187
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: of you because you're a super savvy, but just the

1188
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: guy out there doing regular drafts, make sure he got

1189
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: he gets picked. You're paying it forward. Yeah, another takeaway.

1190
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: I was already headed this way last year. But Marcus

1191
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: Mariotta my favorite quarterback to watch. If you see that

1192
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: open field option player, that's the thing of beauty. Are

1193
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: we worried that he's gonna get hurt doing too many

1194
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: of these running plays? He gives beat up last year?

1195
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: I think every time he got beat up last year

1196
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: was because his right tag a whiffed on us on

1197
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: a block. I mean, I'm not the coach fired. The

1198
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: Titans are getting. It's hard to resist the Titans right now.

1199
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean they are they are fun, prettiest girl at

1200
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: the ball at the ball. Well, I I'd argue, you know,

1201
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: Mariotta and Winston, they both might be set up for Monster.

1202
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: It's almost an underplayed story that these two guys. You know,

1203
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about the rookie quarterbacks this year,

1204
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: the two rookies from last year could both be awesome. Yes,

1205
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: moving on, gentlemen, the l A. Rams and Denver Broncos

1206
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: played football. Uh, Jared Goff still not ready? Mark right,

1207
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: it's not even close. Yeah, I think it's not close.

1208
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: And I you know, this is another example of the

1209
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: whispers that you hear from months creeping into complete reality

1210
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: because golf, to me, there was something going on with

1211
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: him where one ball after the next he was throwing

1212
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: too people got the target, the wide receiver, the tight

1213
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: end crushed by people, hospital balls, that the ball placement

1214
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: was an issue. He just looks to me kind of

1215
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: someone who's when you're underwater and you can't move instinctively,

1216
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: and it's like whether it's Uh, there was a third

1217
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: down where he's sliding for less way less yardage than needed,

1218
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 1: and it's just he's not all there. He seemed to

1219
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: me to be mentally slow. And let's talk about how

1220
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: fragile he looks. I mean, he looks like if Sam

1221
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: Bradford went on like a three week juice fast and

1222
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: then you put him out there against the defense. Like

1223
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I just be very concerned about him. Let's

1224
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: not get it's not all dire news. I agree. I

1225
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,439
Speaker 1: don't think he looks good at all. His biggest problem

1226
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: is what you said that it's all he's computing right now.

1227
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: You can see the thought process happening instead of being instinctual.

1228
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: And once he gets you know, once he gets prepared

1229
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL, you could see some of

1230
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: those physical gifts. But can't you see to Mark's point,

1231
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: the article next may say, you know, Jared Goff has

1232
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: built up fifteen pounds of muscle. Quote, you know, I

1233
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: realized once I got into the league that you know,

1234
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: my my body. I thought I was prepared, but I

1235
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: just wasn't prepared enough. I didn't have enough strength. He

1236
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: hasn't made it through two of the three performances. Probably

1237
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: he has been taken out early in two out of

1238
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: three games. Probably waghs seventy pounds more than Colin Kaepernick

1239
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: right now, I think you're right there. He's probably set

1240
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: up for a second year jump, depending on how much

1241
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: we see from this year, because he's just not ready

1242
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: for prime time yet. You mentioned hospital balls. He literally

1243
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: I believe Pharrell Cooper heard his shoulder on one of

1244
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: those passes, and he's probably gonna miss Week one now

1245
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: their number three receiver. By the way, I just want

1246
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: to double back real quick because I don't want to

1247
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: short change any team, but West with the Raiders, Otavius

1248
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,919
Speaker 1: Murray was they're a main guy last year. It could

1249
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: be a little different this year. Huh, Yeah, I think so.

1250
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: And I think that the Raiders talked about this most

1251
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: of the off season, that they wanted a compliment to him,

1252
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: because I mean, I'm not sold that Latavia's Murray is

1253
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: a good running back, and I don't know if the

1254
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: Raiders are either DeAndre Washington and whom they drafted in

1255
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: the fifth round, looked really good. And Jalen Richard who

1256
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: or is it pronounced Richard? Jalen Richard I barely ever

1257
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: heard before this game, and he looked great and they

1258
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: barely didn't. They basically didn't play Murray in this game. Well,

1259
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 1: I think it was because they want to see between

1260
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Washington and Richard, which one is going to be their

1261
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: number two, And it couldn't turn out that both of them.

1262
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: He'd end up Murray's workload. Richard has been the coaching

1263
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: staff has been raving about him all monst and and

1264
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: they play Ola Wally, who's under it. I think he's

1265
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: a good full back and they use him as a

1266
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: tailback too. Between all those guys, I think it adds

1267
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 1: up to don't touch Oltavias Murray in your fantasy draft

1268
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: and moving back to l A and Denver. But let's

1269
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: stay in the backfield because rookie Davante Booker looks like

1270
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 1: the number two running back. Where does that leave Ronnie

1271
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Hillman go? Well, I think Ronnie Hillman, you know, depending

1272
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: on what what they really want to do with each

1273
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: of these guys. That Ronnie Hillman is was a potential

1274
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: cut candidate, and as you look at his contract, he's

1275
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: a one year deal with the Broncos right now, C J.

1276
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Anderson is They're absolutely number one guy, no questions asked.

1277
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: And I think that Booker has shown himself to be

1278
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: easily better than Ronnie Hillman this preseason. Booker is an

1279
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: interesting running back, who's only going to see more and

1280
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: more time with this offense. Ronnie Hillman, maybe you're a

1281
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Week one starter for the Washington Redskins. That's fair. I mean,

1282
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: I think that he could be easily be moving. He had.

1283
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: He had a couple of nice runs in this game,

1284
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: but he's so clearly not their number two persons. If

1285
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: there's no questions asked at this point. By the way

1286
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: I think, I think watching this game, Case Keenum, he

1287
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. He's crazy like a fox. He

1288
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: he knows. All I needed to do this preseason was

1289
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: not make turnovers, and I can just keep this job like.

1290
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be too risk. I'm not gonna be crazy,

1291
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Case Keenum. I'm just gonna let everyone see what this

1292
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: rookie looks like. Let's kind of do nothing like eight

1293
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: of fourteen for seventies six yards and you are Jeff

1294
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: fisher fever dream territory right there. He loves. It's an

1295
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: excellent plan until you're playing the Seahawk defense. When Big

1296
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Week speaking of the Rams for Hard Knocks, who they

1297
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: are threatening uh to have a bottom third all time

1298
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: season for the series. I'm just keep it real here,

1299
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: Greg I know you don't like any type of criticism

1300
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: about the show, but we gotta be fair. I think

1301
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: that need a big show. I think that's true. But

1302
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of like when The Sopranos were on. I'll

1303
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: take the worst episode of the Sopranos over just about

1304
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: anything else. That's I I am not saying still making

1305
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 1: it still makes me happy. I'm just saying whether it

1306
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: wants to be a top five or bottom five all

1307
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: time hard Knock season, We're gonna episode four on Tuesday

1308
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be a big top five. I agree with you.

1309
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: I watched I I'm caught up, and I agree with

1310
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: that take they had. There's some pressure on them. Bottom three?

1311
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Can I agree? I agree with you. Let's see, I'm

1312
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: not counted out yet. You know it's like picking the

1313
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: best you know and worst Tom Brady seasons. Why are

1314
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: you even gonna have a worst? That was the year

1315
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: at three blood? Isn't you know? The best part about

1316
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: all the stuff you guys talking about you, Oh hey, Dan,

1317
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: what's going up? The best part is there's NFL game

1318
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: pass where you can go back. We were told we

1319
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: need to organically work in we already did, even without

1320
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: even you notice we said that we should go to

1321
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash game Pass to start a free day,

1322

1324
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: We said, all that and what you want that game pass?

1325
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Do you want to dial up the Tennessee Titans? There

1326

1327
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: League Figuess keeps give us back some po po po.

1328
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: Here's a fact, there's maybe not an NFL product that

1329
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: exists that we've used more over the years than NFL

1330
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: game Pass. That's fair dog. Moving on San Diego and Minnesota.

1331
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater didn't play and we to the preseason. People

1332
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: were wondering, oh, what's going on with that? But it

1333
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: looked okay, markedentity this week still in my ad reading, Uh, yes,

1334
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: that was that was nice. I think the highlight for

1335
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: him was a he ran a very nice two minute

1336
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: drill right before the half where he hit Charles Johnson

1337
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: for nineteen yards. All people seeing the Teddy Bridgewater can't

1338
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: throw the ball downfield, hits uh digs for twenty two,

1339
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: then Kyle Rudolph for twenty seven yard touchdown. One to three.

1340
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: Now I think with the with the Vikings, they seem

1341
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 1: like a team to me that wants to win games.

1342
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: Seventeen to fourteen. I mean they had two failed red

1343
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: zone drives that went into field goal territory because a

1344
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: Bridgewater to some degree, so I think Bridgewater is still

1345
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: a I still think it was work in progress. But

1346
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot around him, and they're the kind of team.

1347
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Their defense outside of their run defense A little concerning,

1348
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: but the Vikings, I do think they're very complete team

1349
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: with a lot of big issues. NFC your NFC. They

1350
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: are my team in there. I'm a little concerned, but

1351
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go that way. Stefan Digg certainly

1352
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: looks like bridge Waters go to guys. Yeah, well tread

1353
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Well has not really played that role. Turdled a nice

1354
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: catch later in the game. Um, but yeah, I'd say

1355
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Digs is this number one guy. And on the San

1356
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 1: Diego side, you know spice Rack redemption tour Um, he

1357
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: gets up back on this podcast. If Melvin Gordon runs

1358
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: for a thousand yards this season, it's gonna happen. Mark think,

1359
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: are we going to hear from Spice Rack again? I

1360
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: think it might. I mean, he's got the he he

1361
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 1: had a nicely a thirty nine yard burst up the

1362
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: middle for a touchdown. We've seen the big plays from Gordon,

1363
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, time and again. I don't know about him

1364
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: as every single carry there's a couple carries with him

1365
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: where what happened right there? But he's he's not the

1366
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: guy from last year. They they're trusting him more to

1367
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: make those plays. Big big week for Spice. Rack got

1368
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: mentioned by Evan Silva, maybe not the most positive or

1369
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: in with a long touch then and Jonathan Williams his

1370
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: sleeper had a long touch down to Is not the

1371
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: tiptoe Burglar anymore? Mark? You like that new facility up

1372
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: there in Minneapolis, Yeah, I mean speaking of game pass

1373
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: my I judge games generally on do I would have

1374
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:02,439
Speaker 1: to watch us again? Is it just hard on the eyes?

1375
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: And I think for being what's it's not a dome,

1376
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: it's a enclosed but very tons of natural light. The

1377
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: field looks good. There's good energy in there. I'm a

1378
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: big fan of that. That stadium much more light, not

1379
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: nearly as dank as most do, not at all. It's

1380
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: hard to make a football stadium unique, and this one

1381
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: looks pretty good. I mean, you know sometimes they, oh,

1382
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: you get a super Bowl because you just built a

1383
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: new stadium. Well, this one looks like this will be

1384
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: fun to go to. But are there live out of

1385
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: market preseason games available that uh, someone else can answer?

1386
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: I think there are. There are, absolutely What is it

1387
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: when live out of game market? What does that even mean? No, Like,

1388
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: if you're in l A. Can you watch the Vikings

1389
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: shook against the Packers in Minnesota? Of course you could

1390
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: unless you sign up. That's a live out of market

1391
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 1: preseason game. Oh preseason game only game replays during the

1392
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: regular season, so you can't watch it live. But Monday

1393
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: mornings start firing away. I mean, if we get a sponsor,

1394
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: the spots will be this smooth and this. You know,

1395
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: we rusty. You never get us any ads. We got

1396
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: checked with McDonald's and everybody's flying high, you know, fly

1397
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: boys all over the place. You know, we got nothing.

1398
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: We got cinder blocks. All right, keep moving, We will

1399
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: get through this Arizona at Houston. We're still doing this, yes,

1400
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, through more interceptions. You're not worried about it, though, Greg,

1401
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,799
Speaker 1: are you? Now Let's move on to the regular season.

1402
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: A couple of tip passes. He had a nice drive

1403
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and the in the Cardinals they owned it. They didn't

1404
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,879
Speaker 1: care about the preseason. They said they weren't taking it seriously.

1405
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna take it seriously either. We're gonna

1406
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: get loose. Arians to benefit of the doubt, Bruce Arians

1407
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: handed over play calling to Harold Goodwin most of the month.

1408
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Let's you can't judge anything that I totally agree. I'm

1409
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 1: not worried. David Johnson looked good. They did make a

1410
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: nice drive when they needed to. I think the Texans

1411
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: probably feel good that they had such a positive game.

1412
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: If I was concerned about the Cardinals, they would definitely

1413
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: be on defense, not on offense anyways, especially at cornerback.

1414
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: They lost Mike Jenkins for the season, and uh, the

1415
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 1: Texans carved them up. What are you laugh? Well, it's

1416
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: the first game that brock Oswidler looked. I thought this

1417
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: was supposed to be quick somewhere, make the team in

1418
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 1: the first place. First. Arians literally said he might start

1419
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: last week. Uh, several guys might start, just like Geno

1420
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 1: Smith might have started for a while. Any comments, by

1421
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: the way, about the Houston quarterback situation. He had a

1422
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: nice game going deep down the field. I think his

1423
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: first talking about Oh what about he's like good? This

1424
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: pretty Finally Cincinnati and Jacksonville. Oh, by the way, I

1425
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: just one more point. It's last bit. Harold Goodwin was

1426
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: given play calling duties for Arizona. As you said, every

1427
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: week of the preseason, they've been giving play calling duties

1428
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: to a different Harold. Week one was Harold Ramis, Week two,

1429
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 1: it was Harold Baynes. Harold Baynes one of the greatest

1430
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 1: designated hitters. In his next week four there out of Harold's,

1431
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 1: Reynolds l Reynolds week for hr. Finally, very odd decision

1432
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 1: by the Cardinals, Cincinnati and Jacksonville. A. J. Greene heard

1433
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 1: his knee, He's okay, Andy Adalton looks okay, He's good?

1434
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: Or is he? Greg? I didn't take much of anything

1435
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 1: from this game. I like Blake Portles is uh interview

1436
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: with Michelle Tavoya. That was my favorite part of the game.

1437
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: Do we have that? I believe that you wrote a

1438
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: thing about I did right around the end around. Let's

1439
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: hear what Portles had to say about the Jacksonville offense,

1440
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 1: which had really played well the first two weeks, but

1441
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: came down to Earth only a couple of first downs

1442
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 1: and a half. Uh, well, we played pretty bad. Um,

1443
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think they did a whole lot

1444
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: of things to stop us. We played pretty bad at

1445
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: every position, and usually that's what happens. When you played bad,

1446
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: you don't score a lot of points. That's it. That

1447
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 1: made me like Blake a little more. DA he's keeping

1448
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: it real. I think, Greig is you're under selling the

1449
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: Bengals a little bit. They looked very sharp last night.

1450
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: They liked the credible notes team could survive as many

1451
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: significant injuries as they've had this preseason. They've had about

1452
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: as many injuries as anyone, and yet their rosters so

1453
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: deep it hasn't hasn't hurt them all Right, that was

1454
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 1: Week three recap. We won't go as in depth with

1455
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: Week four, but since it was the dress rehearsal as

1456
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,639
Speaker 1: they call it, definitely will not go game by game

1457
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: with Week four. No, we promise you we will not

1458
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: go week week by week by the way went game

1459
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: by the game. But on Wednesday, Uh, the entire show

1467
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:55,400

1468
01:12:55,400 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: reminding you that we didn't get our type. Oh where

1469
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: are we at? Just a smidgen over at could not

1470
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: be because of the minute game pass spot that we

1471
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: were asked to do. That would be a good boogeyman,

1472
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: But no, it's just that we can't stop talking. Hey,
