Um. 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: This shirt I found out because I tried to put 19 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: it under various things in my house. Does not work 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: with most of my most of my clothing items. It's 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: for people because this is an audio medium. It's a 22 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: kind of like a military green color with two very 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: sexy buttons. You see, Greg, I see green, military green. Yeah, 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: and then your hair nice and tight on the sides, 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: and then a little party up top, which is this 26 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: is this is?

A week ago, I think Dan 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: missed that. Well, well, that's not the quote I got 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: last time. It's that it's bete. Yeah, that's the under 31 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: being oversold a little bit. But but now you can 32 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: see now.

Colleen Wolf was involved that 53 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: she is every week. What's so funny? Why you're laughing? 54 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm not excited about TNF this week must UM and UM. 55 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: Colleen Wolf every Tuesday is on the Twitter Show. She 56 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: came on UM this week and talked a little bit 57 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: about her travel, UH kind of observations and violations. So 58 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna kind of include it in today's show. So 59 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: just let anybody that's not watching the Twitter Show. First 60 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: of all, what's up what's your problem. Yeah, you have 61 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: one obviously and number two. Uh, this is what you're missing. 62 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: So fun. Let's start though with some news. All right, 63 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: little update on the Steelers situation with Levan Bell. Uh, 64 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: we still don't have any real update. Judy Batista says 65 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: the team's not expecting the veteran running back to report 66 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: to the facility this week. Of course, it was reported 67 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: by ESPN and le Bell even spoke on it um 68 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: that reporting during the week seven bye week and then 69 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: maybe playing in Week eight and then putting this all 70 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: behind them as a team. But uh, they are in 71 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: there bye week. Still know Levy on Bell, and you 72 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: have to wonder if he's coming back. He's a vege. 73 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: He has to come back because if he doesn't come back. 74 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: But I believe what week ten, his contract tolls for 75 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: another year or the Steelers have more control over him. 76 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: So he's gonna report at some point, but it's not 77 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: gonna be coming up. It looks like in week eight West, 78 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: if I'm a teammate of his, I'm getting increasingly agitated 79 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: to the point of just being flat piste off. The 80 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: guy stops returning your test text when the season opens, 81 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: and then there's really there's reports that he's coming back. 82 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: He doesn't even return your text about when he's coming back. 83 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: He can't Dane to tell anybody on the team his plans, 84 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: much less his teammates. And you want me to line 85 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: up and block for him in a week. Here's the thing. 86 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: The original report was from Jeremy Fowler. It wasn't from 87 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: Adam Schefter or any of the national guys it was. 88 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: It was from someone who had talked to Levan Bell. 89 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: And the original reports said the week seven to eight 90 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: time frame, so he could easily show up next week. 91 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: But Fowler, when you know, kind of asked about it 92 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: this week, was just like, wow, this this is in 93 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: the original plan that I reported in Less things change, 94 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: so I don't think basically, and no one knows what's 95 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: inside of Levan Bell's head right now. One thing I 96 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: see creeping up on Twitter is this brush back of 97 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: anyone who's critiquing Levan Bell for the reasons you just 98 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: mentioned that. Oh listen, listen, sportswriter or fan. If you 99 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: don't understand the concept of protecting your body for your 100 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: career and what comes next after Pittsburgh, that that's fine. 101 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: I get. I get what Lean Bell is doing. My 102 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: thing is that football. Every time we talk about all 103 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: these teams, it is a team sport, and the concept 104 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: of team is lost in this situation. In terms of 105 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: Levion Bell dealing with the rest of the roster, media 106 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: almost always and fans almost will always side with the players. 107 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: This case it's a little bit different. It seems like 108 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: there's we saw the media and fans signed with Earl 109 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: side with Erl Thomas, but with Levian Bell it's a 110 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: little different. The one thing that west to your point, 111 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: that kind of a little bit on my radar is 112 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: that Leve Bell, when we do hear from him, is 113 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: almost propping himself up as this pillar of integrity. He's 114 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: not doing this for himself enough. I'm doing this for 115 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: every Joe blow out there that gets taken advantage of 116 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: by his team. I mean, while he's leaving what fifteen 117 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: million dollars on the table, leaving his team out to dry, 118 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: he's treating future running backs better than he treats his 119 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: own teammates. There you go. Uh. Moving on another running 120 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 1: back in the news, Devanta Freeman, who signed a huge 121 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: deal UH with the um Falcons last year six years, 122 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: forty three million and cannot stay on the field ever 123 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: since he signed that deal. And it's a problematic and troubling. Uh. 124 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: He's having groin surgery uh and will be placed on 125 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: injured reserve. Rap Sheet reported this. Uh. Jay Glazer first 126 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: reported the move to I R and then the Falcons 127 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: confirmed that the hope is that Freeman will be a 128 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: candidate to return a little I R boomerang action, But 129 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna miss eight weeks and the Falcons at two 130 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: and four uh, mark they can't take any more losses. 131 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. I think Greg said it perfectly on 132 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: our Twitter show where it's just not their year. I mean, 133 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: you could not find more things to simply go wrong 134 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: for Atlanta, a team that came in with Super Bowl hopes, 135 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: and it was Tevin Coleman whose name trickled about in 136 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: trade whispers just weeks ago. And when this kind of 137 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: thing happens, whatever your plans were as the Falcons completely change. Now. 138 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: What was a really nice one to punch backfield when 139 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: they were both healthy rarely now is essentially leaning on 140 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman and Edo Smith to carry the load. I 141 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: just think the Falcons could become less and less watchable 142 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: as the weeks go on. If these injuries can to 143 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: need to mount and other injury. Freeman's barely given them anything, though, 144 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: isn't that they paid him and made him the most? 145 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,679 Speaker 1: You know, this is a case for the Steelers against 146 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: pain running backs. They made him, you know, the richest 147 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: running back in the league. He did not play as 148 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: well last year as he had played before. And they 149 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: have Ato Smith who stepped in as a late round pick. 150 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: And frankly, I don't think they've lost that much with 151 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: Edo Smith. He's looked really good. I mean, you know, 152 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: tying this to Livan Bell, there's a reason why teams 153 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: hesitate to pay running backs. Who knows. Maybe it's about 154 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: the Freeman's breaking down at twenty six years old. These 155 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: guys that they all wear and tear differently and leave 156 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: Bell has had a lot of mileage, you can understand. 157 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: And now Tevin Coleman has ten games to prove whether 158 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: the Falkins should resign him or let him go. I 159 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: kind of think Edo Smith will be the main guy. 160 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: He he was at at the key moments last week, 161 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: and I think at best Coleman's gonna end up splitting 162 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: carries because Edo Smith maybe is a more complete player, Judge, 163 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: all right, how do you like him being on Aaron 164 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: Judges corner? A lot of a lot of all rises 165 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: going on in Atlanta these days. Not a great judge. 166 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 1: That that people people people love calling them Judge Edo, 167 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: and so they're doing the all rise thing a little bit. 168 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: This is how old we are, we recovering football players 169 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: who were was that I mean named during the case 170 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: or after? What are you talking about? It's his last name, 171 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: first Smith. What am I saying he was named after? Judge? 172 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: I'm just a bit along. It was Gregg is young, 173 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: he wasn't trial. I'm holding up well. Greg was born 174 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: age three. I was thinking of Judge Edo's last name. 175 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. I remember the dancing Edo's on Jay 176 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: Lano back in the day. Um, Judge, Judge, it took 177 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: a lot of fire. It wasn't great, Judge, absolutely, I 178 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: will tell you some real quick. I was like, I'm 179 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: old up. I was in college when the decision came 180 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: down on O J. And we were in a giant 181 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: student center and the decision was announced on television. The 182 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: place went nuts and the lights cut out that it 183 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: went totally pitch black, dark and for like ten minutes 184 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: utter chaos. I mean to you maybe not a hero. Um. 185 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: It was a very popular decision among among many, whereas 186 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: Gudgeeto I think was you know, finding some some justice 187 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: that people think. But along the way he was not 188 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: seen as like your group of friends. Yes, but in 189 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: other circles, I think Gudgeedo was seen as a as 190 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: a guy who was color blind and uh decided by 191 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: a jury though, but he was just you know, a 192 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: good guy. He leaned it the right way. Greg Greg's 193 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: og analysis gone a little like Greg's like a kid 194 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: that has to do a book report but didn't really 195 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: read the book and just got away. Uh. Alright, Moving 196 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: on more injury news. Josh Josh Allen for the Bills, 197 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: the rookie. He's he's been putting a tough spot this 198 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: year and and now he's injured. He heard his uh elbow, 199 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: He's sprained his uc L, which if you are a 200 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: baseball fan, for instance, you know that is sometimes a 201 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: precursor to the dreaded Tommy John surgery, which is a 202 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: ligament replace saspen. Hopefully it doesn't end up going in 203 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: that direction, but it's a serious enough injury for Alan, 204 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: Uh that he's gonna miss this week um against the Colts, 205 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: and multiple weeks it looks like so Alan is out 206 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: and this is how bad things are for Nathan Peterman. Uh. 207 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: The Bill signed Derek Anderson off the street last week 208 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: and he's gonna start actually on Sunday, uh for the Bills. 209 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: So uh. And if you needed any more, UM, reminder 210 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: what a bad mistake they made again And not that A. J. 211 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: McCarron was a stud, but instead of having another guy 212 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: in the house that you know, trained with the team 213 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: through the off season, in preseason and knows the playbook, 214 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: instead you signed Derek uh Anderson at a cobwebs and 215 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: now he's starting for you. So good luck with that. Buffalo, Dan, 216 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: you're a baseball fam When you hear owner collateral ligament, 217 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: what do you think I hear Tommy John surgery. You 218 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: gotta miss a guy for a year. I mean that happened. 219 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: Football's different and they're saying he doesn't need the tree. 220 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they're hoping that rest. They don't know, and that's 221 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: what they always say about pictures. Maybe we can work 222 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: through this with rest and rehab. And football is different. 223 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: It's not the same throwing motions, so maybe it's not 224 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: as debilitating. But if I'm a Bills fan, I'm kind 225 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: of hoping I don't see Josh Allen again the rest 226 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: of this year. Just let him rest if there's no 227 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: reason too. This is such a worst case scenario. I mean, 228 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: you get rid of Tyrod Taylor's just they have the 229 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: number three defense in the NFL according to Football Outsiders, 230 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: and they're just kind of waste everyone's time for the 231 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: rest of the Well. They talked on Sean McDermott having 232 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: to start Derrick Anderson to not lose the locker room 233 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: by starting Nathan Peter. Peterman's got the highest interception rate 234 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,599 Speaker 1: since at least I don't mind them getting rid of 235 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: mccaren I hate this the whole offseason plan they had 236 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: before they ever got McCarn ray Anderson's. Anderson is just 237 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: as good, but they could have kept Tyrod Taylor. Moving 238 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: on the Oakland Raiders. Speaking of teams dealing with a 239 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: lot of turmoil right now, uh they have, Uh they're 240 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: looking to trade Amari Cooper and what are they looking for, 241 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: according to rap Sheet, a first round pick for the 242 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Let's start there a couple of things with 243 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: the Raiders, but West, we'll start with Cooper, who has 244 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: had another kind of enigmatic, enigmatic season this year. Is 245 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: he worth a first round pick? Well, let me put 246 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: it this way. I tweeted that out as soon as 247 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: rap Sheet put it on the aftermath the other day, 248 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: and the responses were all like a competition to see 249 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: who could have the best dying laughing gift, and um, 250 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: nobody thinks he's worth the first round pick. This is 251 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: a guy who came into the league had two one 252 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: thousand yards seasons. Daniel Jeremiah was saying his rookie year, 253 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: I like this guy better than Odell Beckham. He's gonna 254 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: have a better career than Odell Beckham, and obviously that's 255 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: not going to happen. I think the question for me. 256 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: He has obvious talent, he could be a number one receiver. 257 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: I think there's got to be something more to it. 258 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: How much is he in love with football? How you know? Well, 259 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: that's the report. Mike Lombardi said that he's heard from 260 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: in side the organization that they don't they're not convinced 261 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: that Amari Cooper is passionate about the game to the 262 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: level of trading the first round pick. Give me a break. 263 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: I think that happens quite often. But everybody like you, 264 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: you loved him a couple of years ago. The reason 265 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: the first round pick is ridiculous because he's already near 266 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: the end of his rookie contract. But if you had 267 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: said that two years ago, people would have said, of course, 268 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, give up. But how many players? How many 269 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: players do you actually find traded for a first round 270 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: pick at all? It's it's increasingly rare that that's the case. 271 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: It's the superstars and that's it. And this guy is 272 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: not a super He's on the fifth year option next year, 273 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: so it'll be he is. And if you do remember 274 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: back to uh, Gruden's first public appearance after his introductory 275 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: press conference at the Combine, he was talking up Cooper 276 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: as a guy that could be a centerpiece of the offense. 277 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: I believe that Gruden meant that at the time, and 278 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: now after he got a close look at him and 279 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: how the season has played out, he must not feel 280 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: the same way about him anymore. Uh. Moving on? Oh yeah, 281 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: more Gruden on the Raiders. He had a press conference. 282 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: The Raiders are on their bye week, so they won't 283 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: lose and That's good because John Gruden seems to be 284 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: fraying a little bit UH as the season takes a 285 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: toll and it's been a very difficult season. Here's what 286 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: Gruden had to say when asked, if you know the 287 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: team is potentially tanking UH and essentially giving up on 288 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen to build for a brighter tomorrow. I'll say this, 289 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: We're not taking anything. You know. I hear the hatred out. 290 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: There are some of the rumors that we're taking it 291 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: to get a first round pick or a higher pick. Um. 292 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: You know, we're not getting up at four o'clock in 293 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: the morning to tank. It Ain't nobody tanking it. And 294 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: he was also asked on any decisions that he regrets. 295 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: I got a list of things I regret. You know, 296 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: I got a list of things. I'm sure you do too, 297 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: unless you're perfect. I mean, I don't know. I don't 298 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: think any of us are perfect. We're trying, We're working hard. Um. 299 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna never throw the ball in first and 300 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: goal again. You know all my friends in the league 301 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: do it. Referring to the first and goal Derek Carr 302 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: interception a couple of weeks ago, when again, you had 303 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch in the back field just stackle like eleven 304 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: in the box. Now against the Raiders, he sounds super 305 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: frustrated and a little bit um defeated, to be quite honest, 306 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: it's the opposite of what anyone expected when he had 307 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: that opening introductory press conference with like three hundred and 308 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: fifty people. They're an NFL dot Com did like a 309 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: two thousand word summary of it. It was like, we 310 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: get grood In back in our lives. This is so 311 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: exciting and right now on the field and off the field, 312 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: I don't think any team is operating in a more 313 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: ugly fashion than Oaklands. I mean they can't even contain 314 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: their own desires to trade a player and then have 315 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: in chatter coming from other areas of in house that 316 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: the player doesn't want to play football anymore. Well done, 317 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: But on some level of the NFL network and us, 318 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: we're celebrating it if if nothing else, because he would 319 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: be interesting. None of us thought they'd be good. And 320 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: we're talking about them right now. We're not talking about 321 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: the one in five Cardinals. No. I was just gonna say, 322 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: he's his contract, his history, and the way the media 323 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: covers him says he's an important figure, but the Raiders 324 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: are irrelevant right now and it's partially because of their 325 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: head coach. Let's move on. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have 326 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: made a move on their coaching staff. Mike Smith, the 327 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, fired on Monday. The team has made the 328 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: decision to turn to linebackers coach Mark Duffer, so he 329 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: takes over as the interim UH. Smith joined the Bucks 330 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: in two thousand sixteen, when UH Dark Cutter took over 331 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: as the head coach. But the Bucks have given up 332 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: twenty count them, twenty four yard gains. That's the most 333 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: in the NFL UH since Smith joined, and things have 334 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: not gotten any better this season. After the Falcons lit 335 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: up Tampa Bay on Sunday, the decision was made to 336 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: move on, so UM Dark Cutter. I don't know how 337 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: many more guys he could fire or reassign because they're 338 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: gonna come for him next. Mark Duffner is kind of interesting. 339 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: I remember him back. This is going back eighteen to 340 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: twenty years. He was mentioned is a likely Bengals head 341 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: coach during one of those Dick Lebo or Bruce Coslit firings. 342 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: This guy was seen as a young, up and coming 343 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: defensive mind. Also because the Bengals were cheap back then 344 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: and just wanted to promote in house. But but he 345 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: was seen as that kind of mind back in the day. It's, uh, 346 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: it's it's tough to see how Mike Smith not that 347 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: we have like a personal relationship with just having having 348 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: watched that in Hard Knocks, like you just feel you 349 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: do a feel for him that that's how he went 350 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: out because it was as ugly and probably depressing as 351 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: it possibly could have been. And they and Dirk Cutter, 352 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: you get the feeling pushed ownership or whoever wanted to 353 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: fire him, give him one more week. Let's give him 354 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,239 Speaker 1: the bye week to figure things out. And then they 355 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: come out and they're just as bad, if not worse 356 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: than they were. I find it. It was months ago 357 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: that we were excited about the additions the Bucks had 358 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: made on defense, and they're on pace to give up 359 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: the most points in NFL history. So part of it 360 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: is got to be scheme. And I think that Mike 361 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: Smith ran some of the most dull and equated defenses around. 362 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: And while we look at these offensive play calls and 363 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: say how they're changing the game, we're waiting for a 364 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: defensive coach to do the same thing, and it's not 365 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 1: been happening in Tampa. Uh, you said, we don't know him. 366 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: In the spirit of journalistic integrity, Greg Mike Smith is 367 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: my uncle. I actually purchased him the tavas that he 368 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: wore on hard knocks a few years ago. Unky Mike 369 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: moving on. Paul Allen is dead. The Seattle Seahawks owner 370 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: UH passes away at the age of sixty five complications 371 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: from non Hodgkins lymphoma, the family announced in a statement 372 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: on Monday. Paul Allen a titan in the world of 373 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: tech UH and philanthropy. Philanthropy, but uh he is known 374 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: in the sports world as the guy that kind of 375 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: saved Seattle. UH kept pro sports in Seattle. UH kept 376 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks in Seattle and turned them into one of 377 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: the best kind of home field UH and and and 378 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: one of the more active and proud NFL cities. Also 379 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: owned the Trailblazers in Portland. UH. He had been battling 380 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: UH not Hutchin's lymphoma for decades, first diagnosed in the 381 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: early eighties, came back in two thousand nine. He thought 382 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: he was in the clear came back again and it 383 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: got him so very sad. Uh. Paul Allen passed away 384 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: at the age of sixty five. He didn't have any children, 385 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: was not married, and um, I wonder what that means 386 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks going forward. But Alan will be missed. 387 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: He was one of the one of the best owners, 388 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: I believe. I think the best owners in sports understand 389 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: that only professional sports franchise that bears a city's name 390 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: means that it's also a public trust and a higher 391 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: calling and the responsibility is greater than just profit motive. 392 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: And I think that was Paul Allen's approach towards owning 393 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: sports teams. You saw, you know, it's it's rare that 394 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: an NFL owner, you know, that's like a very tiny 395 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: part of what his legacy or his life was. You 396 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: know that this was just something he did. But you 397 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: did see some of the innovative thinking go on that 398 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: Edie brought to tech and and the rest of his 399 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: business life with with the Seahawks, with the way they 400 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: built that stadium, with the way that who he hired, 401 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: with the management, with the facility that they have on 402 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: the water there, like everything about it was like very 403 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: intelligent and embraced kind of different thinking. And you can 404 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: even see that with their their head coach right now, 405 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: who we had a very close relationship with. I think 406 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: it's easy to forget when we were growing up West 407 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: long before Dan and Greg were adults. But the Seahawks 408 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: were that ever lasting seven and nine, eight and eight, 409 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: nine and seven team that could never get over the hump. 410 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: They were in the a f C West for years. 411 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: They were like the current Dolphins, they really were. And 412 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: it's when he got there it immediately changed. Yeah. They 413 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: went to three Super Bowls in Allen's time, with the 414 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: team winning once, of course, and UH and Roger goodell Um, 415 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: in his statement that he released after the death became public, 416 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: UH cited that he was one of the more trusted 417 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: owners in in the entire league and also was a 418 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: part of the safety initiatives and UH looking striving for 419 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: ways to make the game safer with technology. So Paul 420 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: Allen will be missed that at the age of sixty five. 421 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: Moving on, Greg Um finally in the news here a 422 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: bad job by on the throne of sleeves. UH. Patriots 423 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: fan um Tyreek Hill scores a touchdown late in that 424 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: classic Sunday night football game, and uh he gets to 425 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: a little like fan enclave of area and he's getting 426 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: a bunch of birds middle fingers in his face. Somebody 427 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: throws a beer on him, probably when of Erica's friends. 428 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: Let's be honest and um and Duss's Tyreek Hill with 429 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: the beer. That fan was identified and banned from Chela 430 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: Stadion and arrested. So he got banged. But that's a 431 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: good job by the throne of thrown a sleeves, you know. 432 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if they did anything too. That Yankees 433 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: fan who you know through beer at players just week, 434 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: was that was different where they banned for life or 435 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: that was a fan that was fan on fan violence. 436 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: Now he he hit Craig Kimball, the the Red Sox 437 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: closer through beer on him. But that's a red sock. 438 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: That's fun. Yeah, that's that's not the same thing, uh man. 439 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: And then yeah, the Patriots handled it the way you 440 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: would want them. But I find it weird more like, 441 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: and it's fun to to single out the Patriots, but 442 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: the whole move, like if you watch because I did 443 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: watch it and slowed down just to see how it 444 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: all played out. When Tyrok hell gets to this group 445 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: of people who obviously are probably feeling pretty good that 446 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: at that point in the night, they've probably been drinking 447 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: for five or six hours. Um, everyone with the with 448 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: the middle fingers and the yelling f you and then 449 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: the beer desks, like what are we doing here? What 450 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: are you so? What are you so angry about? Enjoy 451 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: the game? You have a front road seat for this 452 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: amazing shootout, Like historically they don't have a lot to 453 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: be angry. But but I don't think New England invented 454 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: the poor beer on player move. I mean no, I 455 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: just said, like I'm just talking in general that time 456 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: of that it was it was a lathered up hate, 457 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: hateful little section of the fan base. Have fun with 458 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: the idea that he just scored the touchdown and you 459 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: can say, you know, boom or whatever, but like you're 460 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: treating him like he just like kidnapped your mother. It's 461 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: I feel like the biddle finger is more offensive in 462 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: some places probably than others, or more just part of 463 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: your life, you know in Boston and New England's just 464 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, hey, how you doing today. It's 465 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: just like the fingers are always out posting knows what 466 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying it's so true. I'm not even joking. That 467 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: was the most offensive arst defensive offensive behavior in the 468 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: back of the ensuit. Since Vontes perfect casually jogged up 469 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: to a cameraman and just threw him in his camera 470 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: over for no reason, is that still lead? Can we 471 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: just can we a wrestling villain at this want? I mean, 472 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: maybe I should do it since I'm suggesting it, but 473 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: West feels like the guy. Maybe just do like a 474 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: an opinion, like an op ed. We never have that 475 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: on NFL dot com going through Vontes perfets life, what 476 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: he did last week and asking the NFL to get 477 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: rid of them. People would listen to Chris Wesley. I 478 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: feel it can have like a long article three times 479 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: on our very site. Ain't gone on this podcast and 480 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: have five minutes soliloquies on how you've been on the 481 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: speed League and his head coach is the biggest enabler 482 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL every single time. But what if we, yeah, 483 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: what if we do the long form with like the 484 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: really tasteful professional pictures and the poll quotes and you 485 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: talk to people all around the league and it's you know, 486 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: hashtag like what what sounds like a lot of work. 487 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: Help me out here, you know, like eject perfect or 488 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: something like that. I think we could do it, or 489 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: you think West can do it? You can basically given 490 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: the project he was assigning me, some research project earlier 491 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: this week. There's an alternative to that. How about a 492 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: good football player just stops trying to intentionally injure his opponents. 493 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: That's what's happening in the news.

That's that's a professionals. A test of what 527 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: the Shadowy League figures are how often they're in these 528 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: is a good test. I think they're going to green 529 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: light that. Uh why is there an update about the 530 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: the Twitter user that asked you out on the Twitter show? 531 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: And it's gonna happen in Atlanta it's Super Bowl week.

Have you looked into him and that what 534 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: he is? We can help you out with that little researcher. Well, 535 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: I think I think you guys have to be with me, 536 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: Like you guys can sit at the table as Yeah, 537 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: I think you guys should coming. Well, we'll see. We 538 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: won't sit at the table. You guys have to be 539 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 1: one on one, but we'll be maybe like two tables 540 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: over just to make sure everything is in disguise. All right, 541 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: Here we go Fatal Flaw or In for the Long Haul, 542 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 1: our segment where we break down teams that are kind 543 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: of in the mix contenders, playoff hopeful favorites in the 544 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: league and issues that they're dealing with right now uh 545 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: here during the season's hump day period, and whether or 546 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: not these issues are going to ultimately undermine them and 547 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: destroy their title chances, or they can be solved or 548 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: at least patched. Over put it that way. So I 549 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: got a bunch of teams here, because, like we've been 550 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: talking about, a lot of teams are in the mix 551 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: this year. It's a good season. It's been a good 552 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: NFL season so far compared to last year. Yes, less 553 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: off the field controversy, less Donald Trump, less debilitating injuries 554 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: to stars, games, great games in primetime. I always, I 555 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: always hesitate because you know, I love football and I 556 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: work for the NFL. C You're afraid of sounding like 557 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: too much of a homer. But after another classic primetime game, 558 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: after we got my Home's Brady one night and then 559 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: a great Aaron Rodgers the next day, I'm thinking like, Yeah, 560 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: this is why people love the NFL, some great games. 561 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: That was an excellent night. That was one of the 562 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: highest rated Thursday night affairs. And it's been a good 563 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: year history like that. That was nice. Baker Mayfield Star 564 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: is born to greatest reality show on television, which is 565 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: why it always gets the best ratings. Uh, these sound 566 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: like potential slogans that we could work in down the 567 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: line for the NFL fan tested because I have not that. 568 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: I feel like that's a kind of copywritten by the NBA. 569 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: But we could see if that maybe is lapsed. I 570 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: have not heard back from UH Roger Goodell on any 571 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: of my pitches from a couple of weeks back, probably 572 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: intimidated by what you delivered. It has been lying low 573 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: this year a little bit, a little bit, uh And 574 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing either. Just focus on the game, 575 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,959 Speaker 1: let's have fun, and let's now focus on these teams. 576 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: Starting with alright, fatal flaw or in for the long haul. 577 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: The Houston Texans started owing three now three and three 578 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: tied to top the AFC South Oh put that tricky 579 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: situation on the key spots of the offensive line, the tackles. 580 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: Fatal flaw long haul. This is a fatal flaw. No 581 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: matter who they put at left tackle, he is getting 582 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson getting treated by a pinata. Julian Davenport gets 583 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: benched for having like five penalties in a game. The 584 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: next week, Martinez ranging comes in and gets like turned 585 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: into a turnstyle. Then they turned back to Julian's Davenports 586 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: and Watson gets killed all game by the Bills. This 587 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: is a problem, and the Texans might rise to the 588 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: surface in that division, doesn't matter. They'll get beat in 589 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,479 Speaker 1: the first round the playoffs by a real team, right, 590 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: So when we call it a fatal flaw, part of 591 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: the it's like, yes, they could sneak into the playoffs 592 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: or finished with a nine and seven record, but ultimately 593 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: fatal means they're they're no contender on any level because 594 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: of this. I agree with you, they are a fraud. 595 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: Even if they make the playoffs, somebody will undress them 596 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: in the first dry, and I don't think they will. 597 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they will make the playoffs because of this, 598 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: and I this is the one I maybe feel more 599 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: strong than any on the list that this is a 600 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: fatal flaw. Uh. You know some people that know a 601 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: lot more about offensive line play. Brian Baldinger was tweeting 602 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: about this yesterday. Seth Payne, who has followed the team 603 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: for a long time, and they were basically disgusted by 604 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien and this should come back to Bill O'Brian. 605 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: It made me think about it by his total inability 606 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: not only to fix this problem, but it's kind of 607 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: like accept some of the mental errors and effort errors 608 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: and the same things year after years. So this is 609 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: a coaching problem that they that they could not be 610 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: like almost offended by as former lineman that that it's 611 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: been his problem. And that's one big difference between Bill 612 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: O'Brien and Bill Belichick, and he hasn't been able to solve. 613 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: Three teams in this division are getting destroyed, but quarterbacks 614 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: getting killed by their offensive lines. All right, let's stay 615 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: in the a f C South, the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback 616 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: position fatal flaw or long haul. So yeah, you're I 617 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: guess it would be fatal if we're saying, like, win 618 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: a championship, you know it's a flaw. It wasn't last year. 619 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,479 Speaker 1: It was in the end. In the end, I think 620 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: they were going to get beat by an offense that 621 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: could score points reliably. And this year their defense is 622 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: even less. Well, I guess my point is ten point 623 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: lead in the fourth quarter of the title game. They 624 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: almost pulled off what would have been deemed impossible beforehand 625 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: against the page. Question is whether jack if if Blake 626 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: Bortles can get hot, because they don't really have a 627 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: backup plan here. As we talked about during the summer, 628 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: we know he can get hot. I think the question 629 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: is can he get hot for like three or four 630 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: games at a time. I don't trust that right. Can 631 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: he do a Flacco or an Eli Manning? And I 632 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: think that's unlikely in in today's climate. I don't think 633 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: it's a flaw that can prevent them from winning this division. 634 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: I just there that's good enough to even pick up 635 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: the slack this year, the last couple of weeks. I 636 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: also think the rest of their offense, what we saw 637 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: in January, they were all humming and they that the 638 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: play calling, everything was maximized. The rest of their offense 639 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: is not what it was last year at that time. 640 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: Why does it seem so hard? I know this is 641 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: a little off topic. Why does it seem so hard 642 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: for great defenses to follow it up with another great year? 643 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: I just feel like a lot of time these these 644 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: these come back to earth, even if the personnel is 645 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: the aim or even technically better. Well, I think health 646 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: is a big reason. And this doesn't seem that important, 647 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: but d J. Hayden, their slot corner was out and 648 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys slot receiver Cool Beasley picked on the Jaguars 649 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: the entire game. Like health is a factor important, but 650 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: also when the quarter when is the buy in for 651 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: the for the quarterback still the same? That's what what 652 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: you said, Dan just kind of observationally has been is 653 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,919 Speaker 1: one of the analytical sort of bedrocks of a site 654 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: like football Outsiders, that defense is not as predictable year 655 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: after year. You can't keep it and that's why it's 656 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people believe it's just smarter to build 657 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: around offense because that's a lot more predictable. That's true 658 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys wide receiver groups. Speaking of Cole Beasley, he 659 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: broke out, but in general, it's been very quiet season. 660 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: Fatal flaw or in for the long haul. I'm gonna 661 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: go in for the long haul because I think if 662 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys don't get it done this year, it's 663 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: not because of their wide receivers. I mean, I think 664 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: that's certainly a weakness, but I think it's one that 665 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: they can overcome. If the offensive line plays like it 666 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 1: did the last few weeks and the defense plays like 667 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: it did the last few weeks. That's one position that 668 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: I think you can survive having a low level. I 669 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: do think there was some hubris, though on the part 670 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys organization to do as little as they 671 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,959 Speaker 1: did at that position in and offer in a league 672 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: where the offense is changing so much that they roll 673 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: into this September with what they have. It was an 674 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: immediate problem and it's still a problem. I think it's 675 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 1: a fatal flaw. I think the rest of this roster 676 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: could be sort of NFC Championship game caliber if everything 677 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: goes well, but you cannot keep up with the Rams, 678 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: the Saints, and even the Vikings with this wide receiver corps. 679 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: Here's my thing, though, if they had a better quarterback, 680 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: like a really high level one, and or high level 681 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, I think you can make up for those 682 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: wide receivers. They just might not have that. I think 683 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: this team could win nine or ten games, but they're 684 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: not a title contender, and that's I think a big 685 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: part of that is the lack of explosiveness in their 686 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 1: passing games. So I will also say fatal flaw. Movie 687 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: on Oh the Kansas City Cheese. Everybody loves the quarterback, 688 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: showtime homes stopping. Now enough with that, but fatal flaw. 689 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: We're in for the long haul. Chief secondary, it's a flaw. 690 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't think it's fatal because I think they can 691 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: score with anyone. They can get into a shootout with 692 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: any team and come out on top. The FC is 693 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 1: not that strong. If they are one of the worst 694 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: defenses in the league, and they are, this could be 695 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: the year that one of the worst defenses in the 696 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: league is attached to a Super Bowl winner. I think 697 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: they can when they're offense the way they can do anything. 698 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: Patriots have done it for a decade, by the way, 699 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: a pretty mediocre defense and in some really bad ones 700 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: that they made it to a Super Bowl with two 701 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 1: thousand eleven the other night. The fact that the Patriots 702 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: defense I thought played about as well as it could 703 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: play in the first half of that game, and then 704 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,919 Speaker 1: you look up at the end and the Chiefs still 705 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: have forty points on the board. It's like, even when 706 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: I thought that the Patriots defense did a fairly good 707 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: job in that game, and they still give up forty 708 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Um, Greg's trying to punch in its very 709 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: masking it. How about the Washington Redskins West outside the 710 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: numbers fatal flaw. This offense can't do anything outside the numbers. 711 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: They can't go down the field, they don't go to 712 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: the sidelines, and you can't keep up. I just know 713 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: they can only play one style of football. They are 714 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: limited by their quarterback. I can't disagree. Do they have 715 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: the weapons on the outside that could make it happen 716 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: with a better quarterback? They don't yet to well to 717 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: win a title. You're right, it's a fatal flaw. If 718 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: I'm Jay Gruden, though, I'm thinking I wanna keep my job. 719 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: I want to make the playoffs, and I think they 720 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: could do that with this kind of close to the 721 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: Vest limited. Often. It's a very interesting matchup this week 722 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: when they play the Cowboys, because those two teams are 723 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: very similar. It feels like there's only room for one. 724 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: You know, It's like it's like there's sometimes actors are 725 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: on the same corner. There's only room for one. There's 726 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: only room for one of these, Like close to the Vest. 727 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: We want to run the ball, we're not. We can 728 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: only play from a head team from the NFC East 729 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: to make it into Chris Evans Chris Pines right exactly. 730 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 1: So we're gonna find out this week who the Chris 731 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: Evans sorry, Pine Pine takes eat. There's this quote about 732 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: sick Gilman one of the best offensive minds in history, 733 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,720 Speaker 1: and Bill Walsh was similar that he made the defense 734 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: cover the entire fifty three by yard field. And you 735 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: see the Chiefs do that. Now the Redskins don't. And 736 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: it's the quarterback difference. All right, Mark, Now I want 737 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: you to think about this analytically, not with your heart. 738 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if I have that ability, but I'll 739 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: attempt to. You can do this. The Pittsburgh Steelers locker 740 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: room fatal flaw, Long Hall, No, I don't think it is. 741 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: And here's one thing fatal flaw. Here's one thing that 742 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: I feel like. And and the Steelers are a long 743 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: shot too at this point where the other teams only 744 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: to win the super Bowl. But when you think about 745 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 1: those uh the America's Game super Bowl, like recaps, those 746 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: incredible hour long specials, this feels like the set up 747 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: for one of the best ones of all time. You're 748 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: running backs not there, your wide receiver's mouthy, everyone's going off. 749 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: It's a it's a total drama filled locker room. But 750 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 1: then they somehow find a way to get it done. 751 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 1: This doesn't feel that different to me than Steelers locker 752 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: rooms of old. So no, I don't they're gonna afterwards nightmare. 753 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: The America's Game two thousand eighteen. Look, it's lef Bell, 754 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: It's juju and I would not watch it, but I 755 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: do think other pay will I couldn't get. Ben was like, 756 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: then I'll just tire an assassin on Craigslist to take 757 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: me out. A side point here, can can we really 758 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: know to any degree of certainty what's going on in 759 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: regardless someone that may come when I have to write 760 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: the Thursday Night uh Broncos Cardinals recap that, Yeah, save it, 761 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: save the money for your family at least low level kill. 762 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: It's like, honey, I'm gonna be leaving the world forever. 763 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: And also I'm gonna put us underwater financially because I'm 764 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: gonna hire a really accomplished hit man. Yeah, but what 765 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: that's a brutal recap. Well. Also, by the way, you 766 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: have to get that job right. Well, you can't go 767 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: halfway with that job. Very morbid conversation. I'm enjoying it though. 768 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:03,919 Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings ground attack at old line greg fatal flaw, 769 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: long haul, long haul, because I think the strengths on 770 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: their team can be strong enough to overcome that. When 771 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback in Cousins who's playing better under 772 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: pressure than than he ever has before, and you have 773 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: a defense that has the potential to be much better 774 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: than they have. They need to be much better, but 775 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: I think they can make up. Their running backs are fine, 776 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: so it's really the line we're talking about, and I 777 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: think they can make up for for that line. Well 778 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: last week not a great opponent, But how about Dalvin 779 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: Cook will come back eventually, and they do have a 780 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: wild card. They drafted a guy named Brian O'Neil in 781 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: the second round, and maybe he wasn't ready to start 782 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,439 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, but he played last 783 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: week and that's when they had their best rushing game 784 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: of the year. So maybe Brian O'Neil works his way 785 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: in there and helps stabilize. How about the Falcon's defense. 786 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: It's a flaw for a month now and people aren't 787 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: willing to accept it. But it's for these people that 788 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: won't accept, like the only one that hasn't, except it's 789 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,359 Speaker 1: going to doom them. It's not. It's not the matter 790 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: of it's not a matter of if. But win probably 791 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: already have four losses. I always like when West says 792 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: little bullet points set up for the pod that are 793 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: really just attacks on Greg and then they go back 794 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: and forth. I didn't know you were going to take 795 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: about the Falcons. I'm looking at your list, I know, 796 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: but there's like twenty names on you. I don't know. 797 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, their defense is lousy. It's I just 798 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: you always think when you have like a quarterback playing 799 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,919 Speaker 1: at as well as he ever has, putting up thirty 800 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: three points a game, that they're gonna have a chance 801 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: to turn around a play here or there, and they 802 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,399 Speaker 1: they would be four and too, but they're not. Their 803 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: defense is so bad that they make complaints about Steve 804 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: Sarkisian seemed like a much more innocent time he's been five. 805 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: That was like for the Falcons, it was, yeah, that 806 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: was American beauty. When in the Oscar was the first 807 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: half of the super boat. Don't get that, well, yeah, 808 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: the American beauty was like this American Beauty would have 809 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: never won the Oscar after nine eleven. That's an interesting take. 810 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: Whyet like that much more innocent time like that all 811 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: we had to care about with some shallow the state made, 812 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: you know, whatever, I didn't crash with Crash should never 813 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: have won that. That was not a good movie. This 814 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: was just a flat out bad movie. Birdman one after 815 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: nine eleven. Bird But that's what I'm saying. But can 816 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: we table Gregg's assignment for us and you can instead 817 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,800 Speaker 1: write a dissertation essay about this American Beauty and eleven connection. 818 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 1: I don't think this is an original thought. I guarantee 819 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: somebody has written this column before. There's there's Google. There's 820 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: no doubt that American Beauty has aged worse than just 821 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,919 Speaker 1: about any movie I saw in college that I thought 822 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: was mind blowing. And then you watch it now and 823 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, it's a lot of movies from five 824 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: seven year period have aged horse in that it's in 825 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: that garden state acting. But I might be I never 826 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: thought it was some mind blowing special thing to see 827 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: a garbage bag blowing in the wind. And by the way, 828 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 1: this was before that. That movie started aging poorly American 829 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: Beauty before Kevin Spacey was out as a creep long before. Yeah, 830 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: and that's only kind of made it even more. Net 831 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: Betting is pretty awesome and does a nice job. Give 832 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,479 Speaker 1: her credit, does a nice who's the real estate man again? 833 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: What's his name? I forget what his name? Peter Gallagher's 834 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: played by Gallagher? Who's the king baby? All right? Uh? 835 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: Last one, we gotta we gotta move on here. How 836 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: about since they are the defending champions the Eagles secondary, 837 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: it's been problematic. I'm gonna defer to Greg on this 838 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: one since they are his team. Well, I've yeah, I'm 839 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: locking them up every week until proven other. Can I 840 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: lock up on a Wednesday show? That would be a 841 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: first not to spoil it here. So I don't think 842 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,240 Speaker 1: it's a fatal flaw. They they do need to improve. 843 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: Roddy McCloud has been a huge loss for them. They 844 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: do have a great, you know, a good cornerback in 845 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 1: Ronald Darby. They need the rest of the group, certainly 846 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: to play better Malcolm Jenkins. But I think if your 847 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: front seven and is as dominant as they hope it 848 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 1: can be, and it's getting there, then you can cover 849 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: up for the secondary. Not a fatal flu Jalen Mills 850 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: has been a whipping boy and among fans there and 851 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: Sydney Jones, uh, they're a slot guy has a hamstring injury. 852 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,280 Speaker 1: So it'll be interested to see what happens next.

There's a lot of 906 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 1: annoying things that happen in airports, so I really tried 907 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 1: to mix this up. But number five, all right, the 908 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: shade up on an early morning flight. Look, I'm an 909 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: aisle person on planes, but that means I don't have 910 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: access to the window. And these people who get on 911 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 1: eight am flights and fly with the window open the 912 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 1: whole time, that should not be allowed. You should not 913 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: be allowed to have your shade up until after ten 914 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. And I understand maybe on like 915 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,840 Speaker 1: takeoff and landing because you're excited, fine, but in the 916 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 1: middle of the flight. No, that shade needs to be down. 917 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: Spot on. I'm with you. Let's get over there. Oh, 918 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: let's look. You know, when we're coming in and out 919 00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: of the city. We're adults. We've seen it right now. 920 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 1: You know, Greg, you are a cynic. As we know 921 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,319 Speaker 1: from Twitter. It's like no on human experience. I love 922 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 1: that one though. I love that one just because people 923 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 1: aren't thinking about I. I like the I like looking 924 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: out the window, touchdown and take up. But I understand 925 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 1: early in the morning, yeah, I get it. Okay. For 926 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: violations and this start start over, we didn't hear the 927 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 1: beginning of that. Go ahead, okay. There's a lot of 928 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: terminal moving violations, a lot of violations in the terminal, So, 929 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 1: especially if you're in a crowded terminal, a lot of 930 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: times you have mall walkers. You have families that are 931 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: like four or five wide, and you can't get past them, 932 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: and they're moving so slowly. Like you got to be 933 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 1: aware of your surroundings. Also, there are people that just 934 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: like abruptly stop in the middle of walking with no 935 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: warning whatsoever, to just start texting on their phone. So 936 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of obstacles you have to be aware 937 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 1: of your surroundings. It's like a video game trying to 938 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: get through the terminals. Like, all I'm asking is it 939 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 1: is like know as if you're in a car pull over, 940 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,800 Speaker 1: if you're going to like, don't just stop in the 941 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:09,319 Speaker 1: middle describing human Many people trip over other people. It's 942 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 1: insane that that's absolutely true. That's rude to stop in 943 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: your tracks to use your phone. But the one about 944 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: the families, that one's a little more dicey, Colleen, what 945 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: do you what do you guess? Uh, let's say Mark's 946 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: family for instance. He's he's got his wife with him 947 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 1: and two young boys, and there were walking maybe not 948 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,800 Speaker 1: at warp speed because they're not. They're they're carrying some 949 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: luggage and all that. What do you want? I understand that. 950 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,800 Speaker 1: And you know what, there is a pass for children 951 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 1: because I get it. It's tough to wrangle children. This 952 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: is more for the adults. This is more for the 953 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,920 Speaker 1: group groups of people who are all going on vacation 954 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: together and everybody's just like taken in the sites, walking 955 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 1: very slow, too slow. All right, what do we got 956 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: for number three? Number three is um overly loud cell 957 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 1: phone talkers on the plane. I need to hear your 958 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,359 Speaker 1: whole conversation. Nobody cares about your whole conversation. And it's 959 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: also kind of rude and it's annoying, right, doesn't this 960 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 1: happen to you guys? Yeah? Yeah, we've talked about a 961 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: colleen before. We've had maybe three to five conversations on 962 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,799 Speaker 1: the phone, and it's always awkward. Why do you even 963 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,759 Speaker 1: have to talk on the phone anymore? Texting much better, exactly. 964 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,359 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that one. Number two. This might 965 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: not be as big for other people, but it's big 966 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: for me because it's happened to me multiple times already 967 00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 1: this year, people taking their trash and then putting it 968 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 1: on my seat before I get to the seat, before 969 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 1: I sit down. So this is like the early Borders 970 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,320 Speaker 1: who get there and then like have rappers and just 971 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 1: like leave it on on my seat or in front 972 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,440 Speaker 1: of me, like it's I think that's super rude and 973 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: that's one of the most disrespectful things you can do, Like, oh, 974 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't need to take care of my own trash, 975 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: you can, stranger. What is that about just saying that's legit? 976 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,839 Speaker 1: Maybe you need to upgrade your status a little bit 977 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: and not be worried. You know, some of these people 978 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 1: move up a class rank and you don't have to 979 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 1: worry about that type of I mean, she's flying first, 980 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: let's not be let's not play around here. Well, when 981 00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 1: you fly as much as I do, you do get 982 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 1: good staff. But the number one biggest violation here something 983 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: I've seen so many times, and it's the most disgusting 984 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,280 Speaker 1: thing in the entire world. Look, taking off your shoes 985 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: is one thing on a flight, and I disagree with that, 986 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,239 Speaker 1: But when you go to the bathroom and just your 987 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,720 Speaker 1: socks on a plane, that is you should be thrown 988 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: off the plane mid air. That is so disgusting. I 989 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 1: can't even tell you how many people I've seen doing 990 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:29,000 Speaker 1: It's so gross. Oh great work by Colleen. How how 991 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 1: we miss her? A lot of complaints? Yeah, she's she's 992 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 1: and she's one to know. I mean the amount of 993 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 1: travel that Colleen, I mean, it's a wild amount of 994 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 1: travel blows one's mind. Are breaking news the NFL Network 995 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,919 Speaker 1: news room, Adam Gates has announced Ryan Tannehill is out 996 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: this week and the shoulder injured. October continues. I love 997 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: Rock October. Who do they play this? The Lions might 998 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 1: need to lock that up. I think this story has 999 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 1: been a little under the radar. Henry Hodgson, um vying 1000 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: for the NFL media insider status, has been posting some 1001 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 1: interesting tweets from some Dolphins sources that do make you 1002 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 1: wonder just about Ryan Tannehill's future this season and then 1003 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 1: larger with the Dolphin because of this injury. He's been 1004 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 1: retweeting some other interesting sources and weight posting or retweeting 1005 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,399 Speaker 1: like he's got the sort he like the retweet where 1006 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 1: you comment on it, so it counts interesting. He is 1007 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 1: directing people to the stories he wants them to read. 1008 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: It does it does make you think a little bit 1009 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 1: about this was supposed to be the year you they 1010 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 1: decided on Ryan Tannehill, and you think that decision has 1011 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 1: been made. No, just that this injury may prevent it 1012 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 1: from ever happening. Make it for them. I mean, this 1013 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: could be pretty serious. It's just wait, Rock throws for 1014 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,960 Speaker 1: twelve yards on Sunday against I don't think they're assuming 1015 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 1: that brock Oswilers then, but another home game that that 1016 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,759 Speaker 1: justs well, we shall see. It's a hundred degrees. Matt 1017 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,799 Speaker 1: Patricia coming off of by and part of the thing 1018 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 1: with town Hill is not just whatever Patricia has that 1019 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 1: by never we never experienced that is he literally a 1020 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,279 Speaker 1: rocket scientist? Yeah. One of the things with Tad Hill, 1021 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 1: by the way, he's not just display but can you 1022 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,759 Speaker 1: stay healthy? And he's hurt again this year, so that 1023 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 1: has to be factored into I'm sure the decision making. Finally, 1024 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:33,719 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Preview, Week seven, it begins, Oh, Broncos at Cardinals. 1025 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 1: The Broncos are in a free fall. West bailed on him, 1026 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,719 Speaker 1: which makes me happy. Bail fast enough. Uh So he's 1027 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: him for two locks and then got out and now 1028 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: they bam bam, thank you. They get the Cardinals professional 1029 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 1: are you know a mess there? One in five? Uh 1030 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: So this is a game that if you want to 1031 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 1: look at half half cup filled. Uh you got Josh 1032 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 1: Rosen and it's first prime time game and um von 1033 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 1: Miller trying to chase him down up Lindsay and Royce Freeman, 1034 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 1: who's looked who they've looked great? By the way, is 1035 00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 1: he making the impact? That's pretty good? Break out give 1036 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: him sad. Bronco's doing a lot of talking this week. 1037 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: John always says we're fighting for our lives. He pretty 1038 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,440 Speaker 1: much called out the team and von Miller says we're 1039 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 1: gonna go down. He does feel like bon Miller says 1040 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna kick their ass. Yeah, it does feel like 1041 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: there's something at stake, even though I know this is 1042 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,919 Speaker 1: not a hot, high octane game, but it does feel 1043 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: like if you lose to the Cardinals, who I think 1044 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: are the worst team in the NFL just according to 1045 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 1: the facts, like if you lose if the Broncos. I'm saying, 1046 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: if you look at the analytics, just the efficiency, they 1047 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 1: were very lucky to win the one game even that 1048 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,879 Speaker 1: they won. I think they've been on balance the worst 1049 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 1: team in the NFL. If you lose to them. In 1050 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: the farm, people go to the farm. Sometimes they don't 1051 00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 1: come back. No, sometimes you stay at the farm. You're 1052 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,800 Speaker 1: with the doggies, by the way, building up expectations and 1053 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 1: pressure in this game. Also Steve Wilkes, the first year 1054 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 1: head coach of the Cardinals, here's what he had to say. Uh, 1055 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,239 Speaker 1: I would say all our jobs interopredy include mine. If 1056 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 1: we don't win, I mean, Steve, you don't You're a 1057 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 1: first year coach on a rebuilding team. But often you 1058 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 1: don't need to put that out there. Because what you're 1059 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,879 Speaker 1: doing is you're not necessarily um making ownership think that way, 1060 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,840 Speaker 1: but you're making the fans think that way because and 1061 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,960 Speaker 1: and then you just build more pressure. I thought that 1062 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 1: was a mistake to talk that way. You got you've 1063 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,279 Speaker 1: got a bad team, Steve, you can get beat in 1064 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:32,880 Speaker 1: this game, and it doesn't mean you should then be 1065 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,399 Speaker 1: fired or should that should be even connected to your name. 1066 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,040 Speaker 1: I thought that was a weird quote. Their defense is 1067 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,480 Speaker 1: fighting hard, and I think they're playing better than the Broncos, 1068 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 1: much more Ballyhood defense. Right now, that's true. We could 1069 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 1: you could see that. You could see Chandler Jones and 1070 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson and have a spines making enough places in 1071 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:50,879 Speaker 1: this game to win it on their own. And Josh 1072 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 1: Rosen is very capable of making a few big throws 1073 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 1: into into tight windows give Cardinals a win and give 1074 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:00,879 Speaker 1: Jason's something to smile up. It's been a bad year, 1075 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: but they lost to the Bears fourteen sixteen. They lost 1076 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,440 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks seventeen to twenty, and they beat the 1077 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 1: eighteen a team that nearly took out a bigger contender 1078 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,800 Speaker 1: on Monday Night. So I don't think that they're awful 1079 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 1: but they have just a talent issue on offense for sure. 1080 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 1: Their offense is almost unwatchable. I have a theory on 1081 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: this Broncos defense. They were a top five run d 1082 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,600 Speaker 1: last year. They gave up seventy seven yards per game 1083 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: on the ground through three weeks this year, and then 1084 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 1: case Keenum missed a wide open throat to to Mary's 1085 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,839 Speaker 1: Thomas to win the game, and their defense said, We've 1086 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 1: got three or four games worth of of game film 1087 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:42,320 Speaker 1: here that says case Keenum just can't make the throws 1088 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 1: that he needs to make for us to win. We 1089 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,920 Speaker 1: wanted Kirk Cousins, We openly pined for him, and we 1090 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: got stuck with a guy who's not good enough to 1091 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,000 Speaker 1: bring us back to the playoffs. And I think that's 1092 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,879 Speaker 1: I think it was a natural letdown from that. Jets 1093 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 1: broke their spirit with that game. Did we bring up 1094 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 1: the John Elie called his own defense soft. Now we 1095 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 1: have huh, Well, it doesn't the shoe fit for the 1096 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,920 Speaker 1: first defense in history to give up Rusher in back 1097 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 1: to back games. John, Hey, John, if your defense is 1098 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,719 Speaker 1: soft and your offense is no good, what are you? 1099 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:20,080 Speaker 1: You made a bad team? M Tweels. We'll be back 1100 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,200 Speaker 1: uh late tomorrow night. Actually, the Sizzler and I will 1101 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 1: be uh handling the recap of this fine, fine Thursday 1102 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 1: night football game.
