1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: First ten Dolphins from the eighteen yard line of the

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Rams first possession.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: They fake the handoff.

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 3: Now they got the reverse them a League one because

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 3: the ten the five puts down Miami.

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 4: What a gorgeous played by the Miami Dolphins, totally fooling

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 4: the Rams defense.

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: Man.

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: What a drive, What an opening drive for the Dolphins.

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: It was a great opening drive for the Dolphins. A

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: great play. Not maybe a great night, but that was

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: w B g C. Jimmy Sefhalo, Joe Rose in Miami,

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 2: Malik Washington Getty had done just three minutes into the game.

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: We have a touchdown. We think it's going back and forth.

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Doesn't end up being that type of game. The Dolphins win.

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: In Los Angeles twenty three to fifteen. I am here

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: at the Chris Wesley podcast studio. We just raced upstairs

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: maybe that race.

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm still out of Brouth.

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: Just kind of waddled up the stairs from the studio

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: where we were on in the UK doing Monday Night Football.

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: I am here with Bridget Condon and congratulations Bridget, not

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: just for doing a great job broadcasting tonight, but it's

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: the first time you've been on the show since you

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: were announced you were pregnant. So it's three of us

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: here in the studio tonight, it's four maybe four.

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later. I'm excited to be back.

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 5: Thank you for having me. I will say the brain

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 5: diminishes a bit when you're pregnant, So bear with me here.

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 5: Been a little stupid lately, Okay, but yeah, I mean

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 5: this game is good. Could also.

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: Be similar to that.

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: Let's not just okay, it's good. We're setting low expectations

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: early and then we jump over them because I agree,

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: we don't need to put lipstick on a pig for

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: every game and say every game is a beautiful baby.

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: This was not. But I think there were a lot

38
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: of interesting takeaways from it and things that are going

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: to matter moving forward, and we're going to talk about

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: some of those. Starting with the Dolphins getting a massive

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: win in a surprising way where Tua tungo Ilo is

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: under a lot of heat a lot of the night,

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: takes some bad sacks, but they dial up some good

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: plays early. They overcome a bunch of turnovers because their

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: defense plays lights out, don't give up a touchdown all

46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: night to the Los Angeles Rams, and they have offense

47
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: has looked awesome in the last couple of weeks. An

48
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: ugly win matters more than looking good in a couple

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: of losses. And somehow this team at three and six

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: is only one game out in the lost column in

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: the AFC.

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 5: Look coming into tonight's game, these were two teams going

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 5: in completely different directions. You have the Rams since their

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 5: week six by that had won three in a row.

55
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 5: You have the Dolphins since thereby that had lost three

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 5: in a row. And you know, we thought after that

57
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: first drive it was going to be a high scoring game.

58
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 5: Of course, it did not end up to be that,

59
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 5: but the Dolphins still found a way to win. Tyreek

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 5: Hill scored a five first touchdown since week one. They

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: This was not a pretty game by either team, but

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: somehow they found a way to win. And when you

63
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 5: look at them at three and six, the fact that

64
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 5: they are still in the hunt and then we can

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 5: get into their schedule later.

66
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: But there's a real, a real possibility.

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, we could be talking about a Dolphins team sneaking

68
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: into the playoffs.

69
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: Well at least like playing meaningful games as late as

70
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: like Thanksgiving is just yeah, three weeks away. But could

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: they win the next couple of games against the Patriots

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: and the Raiders. Hell, let's talk to the schedule now,

73
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: why not and get to five and six heading to

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: that Thanksgiving game against the Packers. Make that game much

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: more interesting. By the way, I don't know if you've

76
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: piked at the Thanksgiving slate. It's not great. We got

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: the Bears on Thanksgiving, we got the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

78
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Those games don't look as good. But Dolphins Packers I

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: think could look better. And I think the Dolphins have

80
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: a real chance because when you look at their team tonight,

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: it helps explain why. Yeah two on the offense, especially

82
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: the running game, was not as good as you would

83
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: have liked to see. Their offense did not play well

84
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: enough to win most weeks. But Tua was really good

85
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: out of structure. Surprisingly, he was five of six while

86
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: throwing on the run for seventy nine yards. When I

87
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: think of the best plays that Tua made in this game,

88
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: I think in the first drive, quick pressure by the Rams,

89
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: Jared versus awesome all night, Tua escapes it, steps up

90
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: in the pocket, rolls a little bit to his left,

91
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: hits a long play to Jaylen Waddle. Ends up being

92
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: like the longest play they have right for a while

93
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: in that game. They have a play later in the

94
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: game where he's flushed out of the pocket on a

95
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: third and incredibly long third and nineteen he finds eight

96
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: Chan for a big play that ends up leading to

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: points at a huge moment in the game. And then

98
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: also I believe later in the fourth quarter, after Sean

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 2: McVeigh got conservative. We'll get to that in a second

100
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: again to a tongue of Iiloa on third down is

101
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: fleshed out, finds Odell Beckham in his biggest moment as

102
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: a a dolphin, settling down in the zone and Odell

103
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: does a little bit of dance in I think it

104
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: was a little bit of a Michael Jackson move in

105
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. You know, that felt good and they kick

106
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: what ultimately was kind of the game winning field goal. There.

107
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: So Ta creating plays where you don't expect it. That

108
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: is part of his game. We've wanted to see him improve,

109
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: and that could separate, you know, him being just like

110
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: a decent quarterback and him being a really good quarterback.

111
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: On a night where frankly, the Rams took away a

112
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: lot of their usual bread and butter plays.

113
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 5: Right, this was to his first win since Week one.

114
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: When you think about it, we're already in week ten.

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 5: This is his third game back after missing extended period

116
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: of time because of his concussion going on ir But

117
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 5: you know, those first two games, it felt like this

118
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 5: offense still wasn't the two Toungo Iiloa, Mike McDaniel Miami

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 5: intensive offense that we're used to.

120
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: But it kind of feels like they're working their way

121
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: back to being that.

122
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 5: I thought we would be in here tonight after this

123
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 5: game talking about the incredible play of Matthew Stafford. He

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: has done great these past three weeks up until tonight,

125
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: and for some reason, just couldn't get things going tonight.

126
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at the numbers too, it's

127
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: really interesting.

128
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 5: The Rams had more first downs, they had more yards,

129
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 5: they had more time of possession than the Dolphins, and

130
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: they still lost. When you are leading in those three categories,

131
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 5: there's a good chance that you're winning. Interesting too, I'd

132
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 5: love to hear what Matthew Stafford and the Rams players

133
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 5: say about the offensive line, because they have two key

134
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 5: members back. You feel like this has got to be

135
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 5: his best game. Well, no, he's sacked four times. Yeah,

136
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 5: they had three fumbles, there was a couple of bad snaps,

137
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 5: he threw an interception. They finished the game with six penalties.

138
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 5: It just felt like they from the first drive, the

139
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: Dolphins first drive, it felt like the Rams were not

140
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 5: ready to play. Sean McVay just got off the podium

141
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 5: and said that, you know, this Rams offense has been inconsistent.

142
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 5: That's how he summarized it this after this game, And

143
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 5: it's true.

144
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: It's true. I don't think enough people watched that Seahawks game.

145
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: To me, it was very concerned and it confirmed my

146
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 2: priors a little bit about this Rams offense and Dolphins

147
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: fans who are out there and want a little more level,

148
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: we'll talk a little bit more about your defense and

149
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: what's happening here. But my priors on this Rams team

150
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: watching them is the injuries weren't everything that's wrong with

151
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: this team that sometimes, like last week, he was protected

152
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: pretty well and their defense was carrying them in that game.

153
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: Their offense played a d game. Stafford I think has

154
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: had his worst season in a long time. Like I

155
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: don't think Stafford is playing at the level that he's

156
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: played since he got to Los Angeles. And you can

157
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: say it's the offensive line. You can say it's Pooka

158
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: and Cooper Cup. But tonight, in the last few weeks,

159
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: like I think he has been more up and down

160
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: and made more bad decisions even when he is protected

161
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: than usual, and missed more throws. Not that he's bad,

162
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: but that he hasn't been like top twelve level.

163
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: Okay, I want to disagree with you there because there

164
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 5: are still moments that this where I'm like, Damn, Matthew

165
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 5: Stafford is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

166
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: We're not talking about him enough.

167
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 5: I think there are a lot of factors that go

168
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: into what you're talking about, and I think one of

169
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 5: them you kind of alluded to earlier is the play

170
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 5: calling and some of these why are we running on

171
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 5: third down? What were they on third down? I believe

172
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 5: they were three for twelve on third down, and some

173
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 5: of it was because of the decision making. And it

174
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: does that fall fully on Matthew Stafford.

175
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: No, No, it's I think it's what you're saying is

176
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: absolutely fair because he does more cool things on a

177
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: weekly basis than almost any quarterback. It's the reason he's

178
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: still been on QB Island. Although Jordan Rodrigg, our friend

179
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 2: who will be on our show going up tomorrow on

180
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: Wednesday doing some awards. She saw the passive aggressive tweet

181
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: I had where I put that it's okay, we can

182
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: admit that this is Matthew Stafford's worst season in a

183
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: long time, and she was like, I'm giving up the

184
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: fight on Stafford for QB Allen because she knows I

185
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 2: wanted Stafford QB Island last time around, and he's still

186
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: doing all that cool stuff. But I just think on

187
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: a play to play basis, if you look at his decisions,

188
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 2: shout out to Eric Roberts behind the glass. By the way,

189
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: he's solo tonight, so he's running from his computer to

190
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: like the soundboard, and when I call for a sound

191
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: he has to get up and run. So for him

192
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: to make that happen, just an outstanding performance. Way more

193
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: calm under pressure tonight than Matthew Stafford or especially Sean McVay,

194
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: Like we'll get to McVeigh. But I think the decision making,

195
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 2: sometimes holding the ball, sometimes forcing it, sometimes getting away

196
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: with bad decisions, sometimes just missing throws. Like I said,

197
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: he's not been bad, but to me, he hasn't been

198
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: like a big asset and sometimes I know people don't

199
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: loft the PFF grades, but I'm telling you, I think

200
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 2: it is meaningful to me that his PFF grade and

201
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: it doesn't shock me. In his QBR for instance, at ESPN,

202
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: they're all way lower than they've been in a long time,

203
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: and PFF is supposed to adjust a little bit for situation.

204
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: And I do think on a play to play basis,

205
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: he just hasn't been as great. I don't want him

206
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: to be the focus of all of this because I

207
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: think the Dolphins had a good defensive plan. Do you

208
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: do you think maybe like these two coaches know each

209
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: other and somehow they knew how to miss each.

210
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: Other app I mean, you saw it feels like Sean

211
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 5: McVay kind of got a little like off his uh,

212
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 5: I don't know, like that first drive of the game,

213
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 5: he kind of got like dumped.

214
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: With cold water, because it's like, oh, that was a shock.

215
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 5: But I do think Mike McDaniel is one of the

216
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 5: smartest coaches in the NFL, very familiar with Sean McVay,

217
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 5: and you could see that. I believe through his defense

218
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 5: tonight and some of the plays that they were able

219
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: to make. Matthew Stafford in this offense never really got going.

220
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 5: For them to not score a touchdown at home in

221
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 5: prime time is very rare.

222
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: They did not even get like past the singer was

223
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: like two dreen yard line.

224
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: How many trips to the red zone?

225
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: Not a lot like two in what amounted to like

226
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: one where he chose the field goal late and we

227
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: might as well talk about that app and another one

228
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: in garbage time. But before or that. Yeah, in the

229
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: first half, they got so many possessions. They had seven

230
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: possessions in the first half. They only got inside the

231
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: red zone one time. They in their first six drives,

232
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 2: they had a total of three first downs and two turnovers.

233
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: That alone, like a lot of times, the game is

234
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: over by that point. The Dolphins should have had like

235
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: a twenty to three lead, but the Rams offense defense

236
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: was bawling out so much they deserve credit for keep

237
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: keeping them in there. But yes, that decision late in

238
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: the game. The Dolphins get down to the Miami four

239
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: yard line, uh was their last line of scrimmage. The

240
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: Rams get down rather to the Dolphins four yard line

241
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: was six thirty one left in the game. Stafford missed

242
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: Kyron Williams kind of coming open on the third down,

243
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: even though pressure wasn't there that Those are the types

244
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 2: of plays I'm talking about, Like.

245
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I give you that. Yep, that was a weird play.

246
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 5: Kyene was wide open.

247
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: And even the play before it was a little confusing

248
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: to me who he was throwing too, Like he got

249
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: sped up today, He got sacked four times, he got

250
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: hit a lot, and so so some times that affects

251
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: even the best of quarterbacks. And then McVeigh decides to

252
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: kick a field goal.

253
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 5: I hate it. I hate that decision, especially when your kicker.

254
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 5: Of course this is a chip shot, but your kicker

255
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 5: already missed a field goal.

256
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: You are down and you're at home, go for it.

257
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: You're down to eleven, So all it does is close

258
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: it to eight.

259
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 5: There.

260
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: If you're closing into eight, you're assuming you'll have to

261
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: get a two point, right, You're assuming that you're not

262
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: going to have give up any points the rest of

263
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: the game, which to me, like isn't a great assumption

264
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: when literally the last you have to have a feel

265
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: of the game. The last two drives that they had

266
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: given up to the Dolphins were a touchdown in a

267
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: field goal. Great, you know, one of them was on

268
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: a relatively short field, but either way, it's not like

269
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 2: the Rams defense was just absolutely shutting them down at

270
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: that point. And there were two moments of the game

271
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: where I thought McVeigh he almost got panicked like his

272
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 2: team that was one of them. And then remember after

273
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: the Jonah Jackson bad snap. Yeah, in the third quarter

274
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: at that point, I think it was like a second

275
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: and very long and they ran it twenty something and

276
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: they did the Sean mcvaything where they run it on

277
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: second in twenty four or something. They get like four

278
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: yards and it's like, Okay, we got Sean, we got

279
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford, we got pookin a coua Tabarcus Robinson, like

280
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: they can make these cool plays. That has Bridget saying like,

281
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford can still do this stuff. And what do

282
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: they throw on third and twenty like a little screen

283
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: and who sees it coming Mike McDaniel and Anthony Weaver,

284
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 2: their defensive coordinators. There's a lot of credit and they

285
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 2: lock it down and that forces the really long field

286
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: goal that Cardi misses after a special team's false start

287
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: another like special teams blender. So just a lot of

288
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds.

289
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: I completely agree.

290
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 5: And when you have young players on this team, I've

291
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 5: been in that locker room a bunch. They always say,

292
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 5: Sean MCVAYX instills this confidence in us, he believes in us,

293
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 5: he makes us play a certain way. Well, those two

294
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 5: plays don't instill confidence in a team. If you if

295
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 5: you call that play and even you don't get it,

296
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 5: I just think you give Matthew Stafford a chance late

297
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 5: in the game, four yards out from scoring a touchdown.

298
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 5: We could be talking about a completely different ending because

299
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: you and I were watching this game and we kept saying,

300
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 5: this is where they're going to score.

301
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: The Rams are going to win this game.

302
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 5: Like the entire night, I thought for sure that the

303
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 5: Rams were going to find a way to come back,

304
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 5: because that's what they do. But for whatever reason, is

305
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 5: very untypical of Sean McVay.

306
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, even you could tell he was a little bit

307
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: on tilt because even that last drive, when it's essentially

308
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: garbage time and you're trying to get the touchdown and

309
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: then hit the on side kick, they were making bizarre decisions.

310
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: They were running on third and one, not taking timeouts

311
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: when you would have expected to keeping their time out

312
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: and then they kick a field goal on third and

313
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: ten with like forty two seconds off. This is like

314
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: picking knits, but it just shows a coach that maybe

315
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: isn't thinking totally clearly. Now that's said, the Dolphins kind

316
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: of put them in that position. Let's give some shout

317
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: outs here, all right. Pick a Dolphins defensive player.

318
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: Khalais Campbell.

319
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say it what he I think it was

320
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 5: the tipped pass right that helped lead to the interception.

321
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: A couple of them, yeah, but that was one of them.

322
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 5: That how many sacks did he have? One? But he

323
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 5: helped with then.

324
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: Had another hurry yep, yep.

325
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 5: I mean he was just fun to watch tonight. He

326
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 5: was all over this Rams offense. He's a player that

327
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 5: has completely elevated this Dolphins defense. And we talked about it,

328
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 5: like pay this man because he's.

329
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: A different thing.

330
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: I love it. He shows up every year as like

331
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: a one year contract, like hired gun, and he always

332
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: ends up being one of the best players on the team.

333
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: People thought like they might trade him, Like you can't

334
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: trade him. He's one of their best defensive players. I

335
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: think it was a big deal for them to have

336
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: Zach Seeler and him together. Seiler is one of their

337
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: best players too. On the defensive line, Chop Robinson made

338
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: a couple of plays in this game, a great sack early.

339
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: I think the Rams were on tilt partly because they

340
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: had big negative plays. The first play of the game

341
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: on offense, Zach Sealer hit him for like a ten

342
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: yard loss on a pass complete. Chop Robinson beats Joe

343
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: Noteboom early a really nice sack, and Robinson's been coming

344
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: on a little bit. When you look at this Dolphins team.

345
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: The reason why I think they have a chance eight

346
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: offense travels and this wasn't a great performance, but they

347
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: played much better the previous two weeks. Just happens to

348
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: be in losses, but they played much better the previous

349
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: two weeks against the Cardinals and the Bills on offense.

350
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: And then when you look at their defense, I didn't

351
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: expect their defense to be this bad. When you look

352
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: at the officis and the efficiency metrics, like DVOA, they're

353
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: towards the bottom because they have players Jalen Ramsey. He's

354
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: been a little up and down this year. Though Kendall

355
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: Fuller left this game with a concussion. That's concerning, but

356
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: he's a good player. I think they have a new

357
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: coaching staff on defense. Maybe the defense comes together and

358
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: the offense carries them and they're at least like in

359
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: the mix. You can see it in a way that

360
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: the rest of these two and three win teams coming

361
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: into tonight, I can't really see it with basically all

362
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 2: the rest of those teams.

363
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 5: When we're talking about two and six teams, I mean

364
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 5: the Jet or what three and seven?

365
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: The Patriots are three and seven, the A in the

366
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: AFC East.

367
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 5: It doesn't feel like the Dolphins should be in that category,

368
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 5: but they're right around the same, and I agree to

369
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 5: your point. They have the pieces and it'll be interesting.

370
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 5: Is this the game that come December we're talking about

371
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 5: that completely turned their season around?

372
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: It could. It's funny because I'm kind of talking about

373
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: both sides of them out in my mouth because I

374
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 2: believe that they are better than all of those teams.

375
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: Do I really think they're gonna make the playoffs? No,

376
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: Like I think the Broncos and the Bengals are better

377
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: bets to make it what I think.

378
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 5: They also feel Tua is a great quarterback and like

379
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 5: some of the I don't know some of the things

380
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 5: he does.

381
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: If he's healthy, good there. I'm gonna give him good

382
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: because he's still taking some bad sacks in this game,

383
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: like where he just.

384
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 5: I mean, it looks like he was playing like he

385
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 5: didn't just have a concussion on that block.

386
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: I was worried for him, Yes, on one of the

387
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: that was an interception return and tried to yeah, and

388
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: he lowered his head to try to make a tackle

389
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: and I don't think they even checked him for that,

390
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: and he started making some bad plays. I couldn't have

391
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: been the only one who was thinking afterwards, like I

392
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: hope this man is okay. Yeah, on a night where

393
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: Waddle only ends up with fifty seven yards. Tyreek Hill,

394
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: who tells lisassaulters before the game that he had tore

395
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: ligaments in his wrist and that it was aggravated by

396
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: his arrest when he was put on the ground there,

397
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: which is just a crazy story. And he's been out

398
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: of practice. He was a game time decision for this game.

399
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: And three catches for sixteen yards. Just a lot going

400
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: on with this Dolphins team. But they're getting great play

401
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: out of their left tackle toront Armstead. I think their

402
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: offensive line had a pretty disappointing night overall, and that

403
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: the Rams won that battle. The Rams now at four

404
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: and five, and yes, Odell with welcome back with a

405
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: nice moment. You know, just because we spent so much

406
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: time in the offseason talking about Odell Beckham. You know,

407
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: our regular listener Nick right got on me for just

408
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 2: always talking about Odell. It was for moments like this,

409
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: a moment that turned a season around.

410
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: The lefty backfield trip to the left back to throw

411
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: two are looking rolling through his left rolling throws it

412
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: and it's caught by Beckham and he's got the first out.

413
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: I didn't here he does.

414
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: He had it by a bunch of dance moooves. That

415
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: was a huge That was a really great play by

416
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 2: to it. By the way, rolling out like he was

417
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: under a lot of pressure, like he was on mine.

418
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: He looked moments of looking yes tonight for sure.

419
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: If he doesn't make that play, the Rams are getting

420
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: the ball back. Although the way the Rams offense played tonight,

421
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: they probably would have just gone down and kicked a field.

422
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: Goal, kicked on third down.

423
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: So there you have it, Odell Beckham actually making it happen.

424
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: River Craycraft returned for this game. I just thought, like

425
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: Dolphins fans were happy about that made a nice block,

426
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: like they're just getting getting people back. I know, I'm

427
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 2: getting to the bottom of the notes when I get

428
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 2: to the river Creak craft of it all.

429
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: I mean, look, you have the Raiders, you have the Patriots.

430
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 5: Let's see what we can make of this season.

431
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: How about the Rams here? Four and five really disappointing loss.

432
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: It's the tricky part of falling to one in four

433
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: is you just have such less of a margin for air.

434
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: If you had said then they're gonna win three out

435
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: of the next four games, you'd say like, oh, it's

436
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: pretty good, Okay, get to four and five, But having

437
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: won the three straight, it's really disappointing. They have the

438
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: Patriots next week.

439
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 5: Which is actually a really fascinating game after Drake May

440
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 5: and the Patriots just come off win against the Bears.

441
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: Yes, which is.

442
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 5: Interesting because now Drake May, I don't know.

443
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: Like people are buying into him.

444
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 5: It wasn't Drake May sacks nine times, it was Caleb Williams.

445
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: It's an interesting game. Absolutely. I don't think the Rams

446
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: are good enough right now to just assume they're gonna

447
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 2: win any game they have to go across the country

448
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 2: on a short week, so that that's not easy. They're

449
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: certainly the favorites in that game. But I just think,

450
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 2: like like you said with McVeigh after the games showing

451
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: you saying like they haven't been consistent, he's worried. I

452
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: think that Seahawks game was just a little bit of

453
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: a worry because if you think about what they've done

454
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: since the bye week, that Raiders game, they were awful

455
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: on offense. Their defense carried them. Now, granted they didn't

456
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: have Pukinakua back and so you're thinking, okay, we're not

457
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: totally back there, but it was a really bad offensive performance.

458
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: Then you have the one Thursday night gamey and you

459
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 2: think everything's fine, we're solved. It's good you get the

460
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: offensive lineman back tonight. But when you really look at it,

461
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: the last two weeks they were pretty just not right

462
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: on offense. And maybe it's working out the kinks. It's

463
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 2: like they're in their preseason getting these guys back in

464
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: the mix, but they don't have much time to waste.

465
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: Four and five in the NFC is not the same

466
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: as the AFC. It is going to be very difficult

467
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: for them to get a wild card in the NFC,

468
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: So it's probably division or bust for these NFC West

469
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: teams who play each other a lot down the stretch.

470
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just going to be a test.

471
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 5: You know. Sean McVay, remember that bad season he had

472
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 5: two seasons ago, and how on himself? He was like,

473
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 5: I know that he's probably going to the offen right now,

474
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 5: Like he's not going home to sleep. Like I saw

475
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 5: him a little bit in his press conference. You could

476
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 5: just tell he's pissed off. And you go on Twitter

477
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: right now everybody's talking about Sean McVay and his coach.

478
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully he's not Hopefully he's not well.

479
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 5: Hopefully maybe he gets a peep of it and he's

480
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 5: in the he's in the lounge studying tonight because there

481
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 5: were a couple questionable decisions that were made tonight. And

482
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 5: you now have a chance to either fall into another

483
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 5: trap against the Patriots on Sunday in New England, or

484
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 5: you get a win then you host the Eagles, which

485
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 5: is not going to be an easy game, but then

486
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: you're at the Saints, so you could go you could

487
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 5: win two of the.

488
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: Next three absolutely, but you got the Bills still on

489
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: the schedule. You got the forty nine ers, you finished

490
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: with Jets, Cardinals, Seahawks.

491
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: You could win. Those are winnable. The Niners they always

492
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: play close.

493
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: It's a normal schedule. I wouldn't say it's overly hard

494
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: or difficult, but they are right there in the middle

495
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: of the end.

496
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 5: Find some consistency, figure out why it's been inconsistent, get

497
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 5: back to the drawing board.

498
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: It's a long season. And yeah, I don't think Sean

499
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: McVay is going to be easy on himself, but at

500
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: his very core, he's sneaky conservative. Him and Kyle Shanahan

501
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: have that in terms of their play calling and in

502
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: terms of their game management. There is a core conservatism

503
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 2: which is surprising to me. Jordan and our friend I

504
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: think said it well. The thing about this Rams offense

505
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: is there will be a lot of simple, seemingly avoidable

506
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: things that go wrong, and then there all of a

507
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: sudden they'll do the most difficult thing imaginable and make

508
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: it look at for lists. That really sums it up.

509
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: They do the hard things well and sometimes they don't

510
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: do the easy things. The running game not working tonight,

511
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 2: but the Dolphins defense deserves a ton of credit, and

512
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: I know to a Tongue of Iloa has to be thrilled.

513
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: His first win in the starting lineup since Week one.

514
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 2: They have a little life in this Dolphins season. But

515
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna listen to to a Tongue of Iloa and

516
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: then we're gonna take a break.

517
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 6: Felt good, and I think it's, you know, a testament

518
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 6: to the character of this team. We've come a long

519
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 6: way through, however, many losses in a row. The resilience

520
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 6: of this team, with the external noise, everyone counting us out.

521
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 6: You know, hopefully this is an opportunity for us to.

522
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 2: Not waste.

523
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 6: You know, hopefully we can go on a run with

524
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 6: this win and find our rhythm towards the back end

525
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 6: of the season.

526
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: Now back on NFL Daily doing the late night shift

527
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: here in Inglewood. I just saw a tour go by

528
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: and they said, that's that's where our podcast, NFL Daily

529
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,000

533
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,159

00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: of interesting things in your time. I wouldn't surprise me.

537
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 5: Maybe this is the beginning of Late Night Home with

538
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 5: Bridget Condon. Let's break down what we just saw from

Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say because of my parasite.

547
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to bring it up. I'm trying to

00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,720

Speaker 1: Beware.

00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 5: There's some things walking around this uh walking around me

556
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 5: and walking.

557
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: Around the water fountain.

00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was I was gonna make that joke, but

00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: you know it's okay.

561
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm an open book. People.

562
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 5: People got up anything you want to know about me,

563
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 5: I got you. I have a parasite. We're doing well,

564
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 5: me baby in parasite.

565
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. My first question when you told me that, you know,

566
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 2: as I'm eating dinner during our Monday night football bar,

567
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: I was like, that's not contagious, is it?

568
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 5: Like, I guess we'll find out. No, I'm just kidding.

569
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 5: I finished my antibiotics.

570
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm fine. Yeah, hopefully fingers crossed.

571
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: Shout out to you.

572
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 5: No, it was my birthday last week, so it was

573
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 5: just like a little happy birthday bridge it.

574
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I I was truly asking about about your

575
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: newborn to be, so like, that's the more exciting news.

576
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: That's the more exciting addition to the Conton family. The

577
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: parasite's only going to be with you so long. Unfortunately.

578
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's sad. It doesn't get say with me for

579
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: nine months. Okay, back to football.

580
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 2: Let's do some news. Let's talk about Matt Iberflus and

581
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: what's been going on in Chicago. He had a press

582
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: conference on Monday where he announced there will be changes.

583
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 7: There will be changes, adjustments being made. Again, I'm not

584
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 7: going to disclose those right now. I'm not at that

585
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 7: point in the process. You know, Monday's a long day,

586
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 7: you know, in terms of the evaluation of everything, you know,

587
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 7: in terms of you know, lineups, in terms of the

588
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 7: you know, coaching, in terms of how we need to

589
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 7: do better, you know in that coaching, and how we

590
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 7: need to do better in a communication in game, during

591
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 7: the game, after the game, prior to the game. So

592
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 7: it's important that we take time to make make those

593
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 7: decisions and make the right decisions.

594
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 4: That's for the Bears.

595
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: Matt Iberflues says there will be changes. I don't want

596
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: to go on too long about it because I have

597
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: a feeling those changes will be announced by the time

598
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 2: plenty of people hear that. It's pretty easy to surmise

599
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: that an offensive coordinator change could be part of those changes.

600
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams being the starting quarterback will not be part

601
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: of those changes. That should go without saying, but someone

602
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: did ask him that, So we'll see. Maybe there's some

603
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: personnel changes like a benching some of those receivers and

604
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: the routes that they're running.

605
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 5: If I'm Shane Waldron, I'm concerned. I mean, yeah, your

606
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 5: quarterback sacked nine times, you're one for fourteen on third down.

607
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 5: I'd hope there's some changes like you're not going to change.

608
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 5: You're four and five after starting promising that NFC North

609
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 5: is a very good division. You can be competitive. You

610
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 5: just got to make some changes. And that's the Yeah.

611
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 5: I mean, they've lost three consecutive games after they'reby haven't

612
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 5: scored a touchdown in two straight games.

613
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, multiple things some changes, right, Yeah, multiple things

614
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: can be true. Like the expectations were too high in

615
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: Chicago to begin with, and that market had this weird

616
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: thought that this team was going to be a juggernaut

617
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: because they're on hard knock blah blah blah blah blah.

618
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: And it's like, no, maybe your third place of the division.

619
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: Probably not in terms of total talent, you know, compared

620
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: to Minnesota coming into the season. I don't know why

621
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: expectations should have been hard. Now that said, the tape

622
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: they have put out offensively over the last two weeks

623
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: is some of the worst tape any offense has put

624
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: out in the last couple of years. And so that

625
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 2: speaks to a dysfunction that is bigger than just Shane

626
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: Waldron or Matt Eberflus. It's everything. There's so many problems

627
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: and I don't know if Eberflus is the man to

628
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: solve it. His exchanges in Chicago are becoming increasingly uncomfortable,

629
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: but he had one on ESPN Radio in the morning

630
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 2: was Cap and Jay Hood on ESPN Chicago that was

631
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: uncomfortable to the point of being comical.

632
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 7: If this isn't crisis, I don't know what it is.

633
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 7: So I ask you again, is this a crisis that's

634
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 7: going on right now in hallis hall?

635
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: And how does it get addressed?

636
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 4: You know, we're looking at this week and this week only.

637
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 4: We do have evidence on tape that we've played good

638
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 4: football during the course of this year. We got to

639
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 4: pull those experiences.

640
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: Coach, coach, your cell phones as bad as the offense.

641
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: Right now, we'll put them on hold and see if

642
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: we can re establish. Oh come on, man, wow, twenty

643
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: twenty four. Can we get a freaking landline? What are

644
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: we doing? Seriously, get the man a phone that works, please.

645
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 5: We'll try to re establish for Matti refluse momentarily here

646
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 5: on the I'm serious, Captain Jay Hood Morning show that.

647
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: Cap, You're not wrong. Communication issues prevalent all season for

648
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: the football team.

649
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 4: I mean, his fall.

650
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 2: Lines as bad as Waldron's play calling. I mean, what

651
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: are we doing?

652
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: Wow, I've got a couple thoughts right off the bat.

653
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 5: Have you ever been on a conversation with someone like

654
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 5: an ex girlfriend when she's like asking you about you know,

655
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 5: where you were last night and you just pretend that

656
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 5: the call drops And.

657
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: Was it like you mean when I was actually when

658
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: she was my girlfriend? I don't. I don't regularly speak

659
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: with my ex girlfriends on the phone.

660
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean, like we were in high schooler, Oh.

661
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: Okay, didn't pretending like the car call drop? No, I

662
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: don't think I'm thinking I was to pull that off.

663
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: I just would like not answer, like was.

664
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 5: This an actual call drop where he was like, I'm

665
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 5: not going down this route.

666
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna that is hilarious And that would be

667
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: amazing And I would give Matt Eberflus more credit if

668
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: that was the case, because that was actually the third

669
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: time his phone dropped. Apparently in the conversation he had

670
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: to call back a couple of times. I spoiler alert,

671
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,239
Speaker 2: he did not call back after that, and based on

672
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: how that ended, I would guess he is never calling

673
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: back and doing that hit ever again. And when Matt

674
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 2: Aberflus is the ex girlfriend of the Chicago Bears, which

675
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: unfortunately is gonna be either after this week or after

676
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: this season. That moment right there is gonna be remembered

677
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna bring it up. But I think locally,

678
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 2: like I've seen this enough, that moment is like, oh,

679
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: you're done. Like I know that sounds stupid. It's just

680
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: like a radio thing, but it's like, you're not coming

681
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: back from this and it kind of sucks to have,

682
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: just like when you're a dead man walking.

683
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 5: Well, it's interesting, Yes, that could be an issue too,

684
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 5: but the players themselves talking about how frustrating this season

685
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 5: has been, running Back DeAndre Swift said essentially like he

686
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 5: was asked about what's going on, He's like, well, we

687
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: can't be good on Sundays if we're not good Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

688
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 5: So there it feels like there's something going on during

689
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 5: practice or they're not all. I think he used the

690
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 5: word focusing enough, which whose fault is that?

691
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: I don't know?

692
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: Right, It's one of the things I think is amazing

693
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: about football that it's sort of inexplicable and yet you

694
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: can see it on the field. Like that Saints team

695
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: they didn't really want to play for Dennis Allen and

696
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: even in a game where they outgained the Panthers by

697
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: like one hundred and seventy yards, and even with the

698
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: Bears defense playing well, there is something that you can't

699
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: define about a collection of these fifty three men that

700
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: somehow actually comes out on Sundays. And you can see

701
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 2: it with this Bears team. They're not coming back. Like

702
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: the line is six and a half against the Packers

703
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: this weekend. I can tell you, like that line's gonna grow.

704
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: Take it now. There's no freaking way the Bears are

705
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: staying within a touchdown of the Packers on Sunday like

706
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: they're done. They've been done. And like the film that

707
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: they are putting up says, it all not on defense really,

708
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: but on offense, like Roma Dunza and DJ Moore and

709
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen should not be running like the routes that

710
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: they're running. They're just an out there playing when you

711
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: watch them like it, it's all very weird, is I

712
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: guess the word I would use?

713
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 5: Isn't it interesting when you talk about a professional athlete

714
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 5: though that like, for whatever reason, except it didn't happen

715
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 5: with the Jets. It feels like the interim head coach

716
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 5: win Right, Like, whenever you fire someone, it's like.

717
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: The next week, oh yeah, that's the back gone.

718
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 5: Together, and we it's like, well, why can't you do

719
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 5: that every week?

720
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't cat it.

721
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: It's a fair point. It's kind of human nature. Is

722
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why, in hindsight, maybe the Dolphins

723
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: were always dangerous coming into this game, because a lot

724
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: of times when I'm picking games and stuff, it's like

725
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: which team just needs it? More like the two teams

726
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: are relatively even, but like this game is bigger for

727
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. That team. A lot of times that team

728
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: comes out and they play like it, and that I

729
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: think that did happen on Monday night. Not to bring

730
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 2: it back to that game. All right, let's move on

731
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 2: in the news. We got to get Bridge at home

732
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: to her wonderful husband and her parasites. Got to go

733
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: to bed, just getting sleepy. Let's get me off this.

734
00:34:58,640 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: Desk before we have an emergent.

735
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Brian Dable, who essentially ended the Daniel

736
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: Jones era without officially ending the Daniel Jones era.

737
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 3: Is Daniel Jones still your starting quarterback going forward?

738
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna spend a lot of time here,

739
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 8: uh watching, watching our tape and evaluating things, and you

740
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 8: know we'll do that as a coaching staff over the

741
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 8: next week here.

742
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 3: That's a little bit different, Brian than the yes that

743
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 3: you give us to that question when we ask it

744
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: every week. So I think to be clear, everybody's going

745
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: to assume that assume that means yes, you're at least

746
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 3: considering a change.

747
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 2: Is that fair?

748
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 8: Well, I would say we're we're evaluating, you know, our

749
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 8: team at the BUYE week is what we're doing.

750
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm going to ever have a

751
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 2: legacy as a podcasters as an analyst, but one thing

752
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: I think I've I've helped to contribute to the conversation

753
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: is that when a coach says we're evaluate on a Monday,

754
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: that quarterback is getting benched on a Tuesday, it's one

755
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: hundred for one hundred, and no one ever wants to

756
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: report it at the time. And we did this a

757
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago with Anthony Richardson. I said, when

758
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 2: they said he was evaluating on Monday, he's getting bench

759
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: It's to the point now where people are just tweeting

760
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 2: it for me. My friend Bill Barnwell said, that's Greg

761
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: Rosenthal's music playing when Brian Dabele had that answer, So, yes,

762
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: it's over. The Daniel Jones era is over. Drew Locke,

763
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: I assume will be the quarterback and not Tommy DeVito

764
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 2: after the bye week.

765
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 5: Well, okay, you're evaluating what have you been doing the

766
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 5: past six years?

767
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he hasn't been there the whole time,

768
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: but no, no, But like.

769
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 5: The Giant, Daniel Jones has been there six years. Yeah,

770
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 5: give me the stats of the consistency over the past

771
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 5: six years.

772
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: It was just the second half of twenty twenty two,

773
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: which happened to me when his contract came up. And

774
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: I personally always believe that Brian Dable was lukewarm at

775
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 2: best about that contract and that was an ownership move.

776
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: And this happened so long ago. Why is it taking

777
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 1: this long?

778
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you're right. I think I love scouting. It's

779
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: it's the mistake that bad organizations make more than any other,

780
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: that people don't talk about enough. If you can't evaluate

781
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: your own players, which wants to invest in, then you're done.

782
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 5: The Giants were shut out in the first half on

783
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 5: Sunday in Munich by the league's worst defense. I'm not

784
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 5: just saying that to be dramatic. Thirty two. They are

785
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 5: ranked thirty two out of thirty two the Panthers defense,

786
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 5: and the Giants were shut out by them.

787
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: And you're value right now. That's not even Bridget talking.

788
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: That's her parasite. Look, I love it, You're mad. I

789
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 2: just don't get it.

790
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 3: Why.

791
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 5: It's like, there are certain things that we talk about

792
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 5: every day that drive me crazy.

793
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: I recently talking about the Cowboys.

794
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: Why, why are why?

795
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 4: Is?

796
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 5: I love Daniel Jones. Look, I covered him at Duke

797
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 5: when I was in North Carolina. Humblebrock, humble Brock. Great guy,

798
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 5: love him, amazing person. I wish nothing but the best

799
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 5: for him. But unfortunately I don't believe that he should

800
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 5: be the starting quarterback for the professional football team.

801
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: New York Giants.

802
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I also think the worst thing that

803
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: you can say about Daniel Jones at this point about

804
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 2: his NFL career is he's a nice guy. Everyone says

805
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 2: that about Daniel Jones and they're like, he's a nice guy.

806
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, maybe if he was in a better position, but look,

807
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 5: he's not.

808
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 2: But the Giants in part did him dirty by giving

809
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: him the contract. It never made any sense like that.

810
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: That was the original sin and they've been stuck on

811
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 2: it for a couple of years. It didn't make sense

812
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: at the time. Also, he's coming off of torn acl

813
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: and he's worse than he was before.

814
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 5: I think he should take his money, buy a house

815
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 5: in the cabin, like, buy a house in the mountains, and.

816
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: Just like no. I think what he needs to be

817
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: is a backup quarterback on like a McVey team, and

818
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: he'll end up coming in on some Thursday night football

819
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: game and playing a couple games, playing fairly well, and

820
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: maybe have some fun playing football again. He's a perfectly

821
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: fine backup quarterback and that's what he'll be. I think

822
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 2: he's better than Drew Lock. That's the problem is terrible.

823
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 5: Put in Tommy DeVito, it's Tommy time. I want to

824
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 5: see what his mom's been cooking. Like, give me some

825
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 5: entertainment giants.

826
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: That could happen. I think by the end of the season.

827
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: Let's wrap just in terms of quarterbacks with Shane Stikeen.

828
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: He did insist that Joe Flacco is our quarterback moving

829
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 2: forward for now. He did kind can.

830
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 5: You explain this to me Joe Flacco one in three

831
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 5: as the starter to and two Richardson. I believe Flacco

832
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 5: three interceptions, four sacks.

833
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gone as bad as badly as it could.

834
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: That was What's is it?

835
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 5: Because he tapped his hat and said take me out.

836
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 5: How much of an impact does that have?

837
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna actually listen to Shane Steiken talk about Anthony

838
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 2: Richardson and him probably possibly even having a role to

839
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 2: us on the offense at all, and I think this

840
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: answer speaks to something that will answer your question. You

841
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: guys have struggled in short yardage with Joe. Is there

842
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: a thought to put Anthony in there?

843
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 8: What has kept you from using Anthony in a short yardage package?

844
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not I won't get into the scheme stuff

845
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 7: of it, but yeah, obviously he would he would help there.

846
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm I'm trying to like weed through things here,

847
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 2: but obviously he would help there. After two weeks where

848
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 2: he hasn't been helping there, they haven't used him at all.

849
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: But we're not doing it.

850
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: Support would support the conspiracy theory in Indianapolis that hasn't

851
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: been overtly reported, So I don't think it's fair to

852
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: say it's a report, but it also checks out and

853
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 2: a lot of fans believe it, and maybe some media

854
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: people do too, that this is not Shane Steiken's move

855
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 2: because Shane stikeen all along said we're gonna leave Anthony

856
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: Richardson in higher dry like we want him to be

857
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 2: in there in that maybe it's not Shane Stiken's decision. Now,

858
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: I personally don't believe there's any chance it's the front

859
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: office's decision.

860
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: So whose decision is it?

861
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 2: From the very top that ownership gets involved with interest

862
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 2: with decisions this important, it's and.

863
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 5: They want to penalize him for what he did making

864
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:14,959
Speaker 5: them looking well.

865
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: They just want to get to I think they want

866
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: to get to the playoffs. And maybe that there was

867
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 2: an angle of the players being upset with Richardson that contributed,

868
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: but that he thinks that.

869
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 5: We need cameras in the locker room right, that we

870
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 5: have a reality show in front of us, because I

871
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 5: want to know the real juice of what's going on

872
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 5: in the Colt locker.

873
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: I mean him saying he could help in short yard.

874
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: It almost sounds like Shane Steichen is stuck there and

875
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: can't actually decide which wouldn't be the first time it's

876
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: ever happened. Johnny Manzel was playing quarterback for the Cleveland

877
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: Browns in what year was at twenty fourteen. Andrew Hawkins,

878
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: our old colleague and friend you know, has told the

879
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 2: story publicly because yeah, it was. It was told to

880
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: the coaching staff he had to play, even though Brian

881
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 2: Hoyer was the better quarterback, And in this case, I

882
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: think it was more that they thought Flacco gave him

883
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: a better chance to win and they're just not winning,

884
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: so they're getting the worst of both worlds. I think

885
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: we will see Richardson sooner than later, but Joe Flacco

886
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: will get another chance against a pretty bad Jets defense,

887
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 2: so they do have a chance to win this week.

888
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: Moving forward, we're just gonna roll through a couple very

889
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: quick stories. I thought it was interesting the Seahawks wave

890
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 2: their starting linebacker Tyler Dodson today, who is a big

891
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 2: free agent pick up. They signed two guys for pretty

892
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: good money in the offseason, Jerome Baker and Tyler Dodson.

893
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: He started every game and played almost every snap so

894
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: far this season and they cut him after nine weeks.

895
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: Just interesting.

896
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: It takes you wonder where are those cameras. What's getting

897
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: on in this case?

898
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: I actually believe Mike McDonald is the one with a

899
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 2: strong hand here as a coach. Maybe that was his signing,

900
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: maybe it wasn't, Probably not, And he explained the thought

901
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: very clearly, I think, and I think it's a case

902
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: where he's like, I know what's not working. This is

903
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: not working. I want to play some younger players. We

904
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 2: brought in Ernest Jones self scouting, yes, and so he's

905
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 2: making some decisive move. But that's crazy. You bring in

906
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 2: two starting linebackers and a guy who's played every staff

907
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: for you has gone week nine ten. They're in a

908
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: fascinating spot. Alex Heismith the Steelers edg Rusher is gonna

909
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 2: miss two or three weeks according to reports. That's a

910
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 2: big loss for them. He's very valuable. Tristan Wurf's one

911
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 2: thing I regretted to mention on the Sunday Night recap

912
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: show that the great tackle for the Bucks had an

913
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 2: mcl sprain in that game. The MRI confirmed it. He

914
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 2: is week to week man. That team has really been

915
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 2: devastated with injuries. Just a couple of random QB news.

916
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: The Browns are sticking with Jamis Winston. The Cowboys are

917
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 2: sticking with Cowboy Cooper.

918
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: Rush Cowboy Rush Baby.

919
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 2: I apologize to you for doing that game, but everyone

920
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 2: should check out MJD and Bridgett on the Channel five

921
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 2: coverage of Monday Night Football next week and Nick Shook

922
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: and Eye on our podcast version. We're going to make

923
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 2: it fun but Texans Cowboys in primetime next week and

924
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: then finally.

925
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:00,919
Speaker 1: It'll be good because they don't need to worry about

926
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: the sun in primetime.

927
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: What a great host you are. I don't even know

928
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: if that was intentional, but our last item of news

929
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: is yes, the Cowboys versus the Sun. I just wanted

930
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 2: to show you some of the pictures that were out

931
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 2: there from their press conference on Monday. This is from

932
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: Jonah Javid on Twitter and it actually shows Mike McCarthy

933
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 2: who was at the podium and the sun was getting

934
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: in his eye. So you know what the Cowboys did

935
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 2: and the media did. They set up a little shade

936
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: to block the sun. You can't make this up. You

937
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: really can't. Like they're multiples of it. It is the office.

938
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: This is hilarious. This is something you watch on TV.

939
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 5: This is why the NFL is the best reality show

940
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 5: on television.

941
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: Because this is clowning, it's funny. Is this real?

942
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: It is absolutely real? And I love one thing. I

943
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: will give Mike McCarthy a ton of credit for. You know,

944
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: he's having to answer questions about these Michael Parsons comments

945
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: which weren't great and you could interpret him a few

946
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 2: different ways. We don't need to get him into on

947
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: this podcast. And there's all sorts of stuff it's going.

948
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: He knows the score and he handles it, Mike McCarthy

949
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: about as well, I think as anyone could. And he

950
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 2: even made a joke about that. He was like, oh, like,

951
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 2: what are we in the stadium there? He makes a

952
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 2: little joke about it. So like Mike McCarthy, he's always

953
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 2: doing it with a wink and a smile, like he's

954
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 2: in the last year of his contract and he's still

955
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 2: cashing them checks.

956
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and get an umbrella while you're at it.

957
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 2: That is it for the news. It is now time

958
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: for the Captain's Corner, presented by Captain Morgan Bridget. This

959
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 2: is where we give some love to someone who excelled

960
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Who do you got?

961
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: All right?

962
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 5: So I had a little trouble with my pick because

963
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 5: you'll understand why I don't like to give it to

964
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 5: somebody who lost, But in this case, I had to.

965
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: I had to. I'm going with Jamar Chase.

966
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 5: I know the Bengals lost to the Ravens, but anytime

967
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 5: you have a player rack up more than fifty five

968
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 5: Fantasy points, how can he not be your Captain of

969
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 5: the week.

970
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: Not totally his fault. They lost either. He said it.

971
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 5: I was open when they went for it on the

972
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 5: two point conversion and it fell incomplete.

973
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: He said he was open. Two hundred and.

974
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 5: Sixty four yards, three touchdowns, eleven for seventeen. Look, I

975
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 5: know the Bengals are four and six, but I'm not

976
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 5: ready to write them off. I am not ready, and

977
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 5: maybe I've been too high on them because they were

978
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 5: my Super Bowl pick.

979
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: Them in the Packers, I.

980
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 2: Know, you never know. Sometimes it's that season. You start

981
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: out four and six and then it's a magical run.

982
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 2: That's how they kind of made it the last time

983
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 2: they made the Super Bowl.

984
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 5: They got the Chargers this week here at so far,

985
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 5: Sunday night gonna be a big game. But Jamar Chase,

986
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 5: you know he played lights out Thursday night.

987
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: I love that pick. I love his comment, how he

988
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: was open on the two point play. I love everything

989
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: about Jamar Chase. Actually, I have a take related to

990
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 2: that comment that I'm gonna save for our awards podcast.

991
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: Is he one of your We'll see Bridget Condon is

992
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: going to be involved. She is stepping in very excited.

993
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 2: We're going to go through all the big awards.

994
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: As long as the parasite doesn't kill me.

995
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as the parasite doesn't take you out,

996
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna be here with Jordan, will make up some

997
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 2: awards of our own. That's gonna be a really show Wednesday.

998
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: So let's get out of here. I don't need to

999
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 2: honk anymore. My captain is going to be Tyron Matthew,

1000
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 2: one of the captains of the Saints, and Cam Jordan.

1001
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: Let's us give it to them both. These two guys

1002
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 2: are two of my favorite defensive players of the last

1003
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,240
Speaker 2: ten years. Through comments that they had after the Dennis

1004
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: Allen firing, I think they were relieved maybe by the change,

1005
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 2: that they needed a vibe change, that they needed a

1006
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 2: scheme change, and for Cam Jordan to have a monster

1007
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: sack that helped change that game against the Falcons. And

1008
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 2: then in the crucible Falcons driving Kirk Cousins moving the

1009
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 2: ball down the field, and who steps in for a

1010
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 2: crucial interception late in the fourth quarter. It's the Honey Badger.

1011
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 2: It's the future Hall of Famer. He's been doing that

1012
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: his whole career. For the two of them to have

1013
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 2: big moments in this particular game to get a win.

1014
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going anywhere, but this was kind

1015
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: of their super Bowl against the Falcons. They are my

1016
