1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Straight fire? Fam, It's mean Jason McIntyre. Straight fire for Monday,

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: October three, and ah the NFL. That's what a Sunday

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: it was. Listen, I had a good overall weekend. Uh.

5
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: The most exciting thing that happened to me was the

6
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: soccer team. I'm the owner of nick Coxa. We had

7
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: a win and in the playoffs game on Saturday and

8
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: we lost. It was devastating. I was I'm not happy.

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: I had a couple of drinks Saturday night, let's just

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: say that. And then Sunday, the team that was gonna

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: pass NASA lost. They got drilled three nothing. So we

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: backed into the postseason. Next weekend we'll be playing on

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: the road at Tigris It. I'm trying to give you

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: guys an equivalent of an NBA game. I don't want

15
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: to say we are like the Orlando Magic and Tigress

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: is the well, Tigress isn't quite like Celtics Lakers, but

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: it would be like that next to you, like the Sixers,

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: like a really good long term team and um, it

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: will be in up Polk climb. But you know what,

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: we're in the postseason. That's all the matters. Um. But

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: now let's move on to the NFL. I will say

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: I didn't watch a ton of college football on Saturday. Um.

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: We had two soccer games. We had a fair in

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: our town that we went to. UH, my son had

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: a volleyball practice, and then we had another soccer game Sunday.

26
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Like the kids sports on weekends really fries you, and

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: I haven't been doing as many sports on my own

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: as I did during the summer. Although I did play

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: tennis ladder match uh first one I won in two

30
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: sets that I played on Friday, one in straight sets,

31
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: and I'm I feel like kind of good about myself.

32
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: But I have a tough, tough opponent this week. Matches

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: yet to be scheduled. But it's fun playing tennis to

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: use a week now. Hoops, it's a little tougher, man.

35
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: I love hoops, and especially when the NBA starts up,

36
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna want to hoop. But it's just a lot

37
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: tougher with the kids sports now. But I made sure

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: I played hoops early Sunday morning, got that out of

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: the way, got home in time, showered, I'm at the

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: computer ready for NFL and then I, you know, I

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: had to watch the Baltimore Ravens do what they're sadly

42
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: doing best now, blowing freaking leads at home. So they're

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: up against Miami in week to blow it lose, And

44
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: now they're up twenty to three against the Bills at home.

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Weather wasn't perfect, and they blow it and lose. And

46
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: John Hardball is getting killed today by all these knuckleheads

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: on TV. And I'm sure I'm not that I'm watching them,

48
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: trust me when I when I'm recording the podcast, I

49
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: do not have the TV on, but I'm sure they're

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna be saying on TV, on the radio, on the internet.

51
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Of course, why didn't Hardball kick the field goal from

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: the two yard line with roughly two minutes left against

53
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: the Bills? And this one is not hard John Harball,

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: as we've talked about on this podcast, leans on analytics,

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: perhaps as much as any coach in the league, maybe most.

56
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: If you guys remember, there was a story a couple

57
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: of years ago we talked about on the podcast. He

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: hired a guy from Yale just to be his analytics guy.

59
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: Where if it's even close, analytics guy's got all the

60
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: numbers and everything ready and we gotta go here. And

61
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: last year they had a couple of instances in back

62
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: to back games. Fortunately I was not on both of

63
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: them where Hardball could have kicked the field goal and

64
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: he decided to go for it and failed, And if

65
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: memory serves, one worked, they got lucky. The other did not,

66
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: and he got crucified. Which this is good. What's gonna happen?

67
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, Internet is big. You've got these people, you know,

68
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: just trying to clamor and get cut through, and so

69
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: everybody's just gonna rip him for not kicking the field

70
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: goal when you have automatic Justin Tucker, who is arguably

71
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: the greatest kicker in NFL history. The problem, of course,

72
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: is that you're facing Josh Allen, and Josh Allen had

73
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: already lead you from down twenty to three, and the

74
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: game's tied, and the idea of Josh Allen having you know,

75
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna go four downs if they're looking

76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: to tie the game, and he's only got to get

77
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: what sixty seventy yards? Like, think about it. You go

78
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and two, you don't make it

79
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: through at the two yard line. You gotta pinned. They

80
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: gotta go the length of the field or at least

81
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: what seventy yards to get in Tyler Bass range for

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: for the game winner. So your defense has played well.

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: They really shut down Josh Allen and Buffalo in the

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: first half. Didn't do as great of a job in

85
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: the second half, but the referees got involved. I do

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: not want to become referee guy. Two weeks in a row.

87
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: I was still salty about the Colts call on Chris

88
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: Jones that that screwed one of my bets. But Raven's

89
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: got me a push, so I'm not totally complaining here,

90
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: but I can't crucify him for this call. What I

91
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: can get upset about is the play call. Now that's

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 1: gonna even sound weird because if you look at the replay,

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: there was a receiver open in the corner of the

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: ends of Lamar just couldn't get it to him. Why

95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: couldn't you get it to him? I don't know, maybe

96
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: because he had a straight drop back. Why would you

97
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: do that with Lamar Jackson? And this is like, I'm

98
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: pro go for it on fourth down. I'm all about

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: the be aggressive. That's how you win football games. You

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: know you punt, You're gonna end up losing. I don't

101
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: want to talk about the Chicago Bears and Giants. I

102
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: had to sit through that garbage game was unwatchable. And

103
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: of course Bears end up punting a couple of times

104
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. It's like, what are you doing?

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: And of course they're they're relying on the defense and

106
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: they end up getting a stop, but then they're punned.

107
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Punt returner drops the fun. It's like, come on, guy,

108
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: the Bears are a comedy Bears. You don't expect the

109
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: Ravens to come out with such a kind of like

110
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: a boring play where it's just a straight drop back.

111
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo had been winning at the line of scrimmage in

112
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: the second half, and they got to Lamar pretty quick

113
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: and the past was picked off. And so now not

114
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: only do you not pin them at the two, they

115
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: get it at the twenty and you've got no points.

116
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: So you at that point you just assume it's a loss.

117
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: And then you know the Baltimore defense was good. But

118
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: on two third downs, Josh Allen came up big, one

119
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: just to clutch pass two Knox, the other a great

120
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: scramble and this is what Josh Allen does this is

121
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: why he's an MVP candidate. And of course a guy

122
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: like me who says last week on the podcast that

123
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is the VP leader after three games. Yes,

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get people tweeting at me. He wants all

125
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: the money. What are you talking about? How could he

126
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: get all the money? Lamar Jackson couldn't even score a

127
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: point in the second half against the Bills at home.

128
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: I was like, jeez, people just they go overboard. Man.

129
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: People really want two quarters of football and Lamar Jackson

130
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: was not great in the second half. It doesn't mean

131
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: he does not deserve a max contract. I mean, are

132
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Some of these responses are crazy, but

133
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: that's social media for you. Anyways, That's a bad loss

134
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: for the Ravens. You lose two games at home when

135
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: you're leading by seventeen or more. I mean, those are

136
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: not games you immediately bounce back from. Now. They did

137
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: open the season with a difficult schedule, and I think

138
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine. Let's monitor the injuries. Ronnie

139
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: Stanley's did not play. They have a tough one this

140
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: uh Sunday night football against the Bengals. You know that

141
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: is a big rivalry right now in that division. This

142
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: game will be for the lead because Cleveland continues to sputter,

143
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: and um if the Pittsburgh Steelers, which will get to

144
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: eventually when we talk about my Jets, Pittsburgh Schelers are

145
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: not a good football team right now. So Ravens come

146
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: out of this, they get Bengals, Giants, Browns, three opportunities

147
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: for wins. I think they'll be fine, but they will

148
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: not be the number one seed in the in the

149
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: a f C, that's for sure. So their path to

150
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: the super Bowl will go through likely Buffalo. It will

151
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: not go through Denver. I'll just put that out there

152
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: right now. We'll get around to that. Um. But I

153
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: think the actual the second biggest story after the John

154
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: Hardball thing, because you know, you see the Hardball thing

155
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: online and people are really freaking out. You never want

156
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: to peg the podcast to what's going on online. But

157
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: I had a bet on that. I was very invested

158
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: in that game, and it's just disappointing that they couldn't

159
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: come up with points. There now a game that we

160
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: didn't if you noticed last week we didn't really talk

161
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: about except the move aspect was Kansas City and Tampa

162
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Rob is gonna want to give me

163
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: a pass or not want to give me a pass

164
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: for this. But you know, all these people are like, oh, well, hey,

165
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: maybe Tampa is not that good. Can't score against the Packers,

166
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: can't stop the Chiefs. You know, they're not one of

167
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: the elite teams. And I and I I understand that

168
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: line of logic. I do want to give Tampa pass.

169
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: And here's why. You could see from the jump they

170
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: did not look to be the fiery, flying around defense

171
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the first few weeks of the season.

172
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Like they look nasty against Dallas opening night, they pretty

173
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: filthy against Green Bay. They are ferocious hitters. I mean,

174
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: this defense is really ridiculous. And I got shredded by

175
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: Reading Mahomes. And I think it happened for two reasons.

176
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: Number One, Listen, the Chiefs had this game circled for

177
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: over a year. Okay, as soon as they lost that

178
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, they knew, hey, based on um the Division

179
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: three play and all that fun stuff, we're gonna be

180
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: playing them. And this was a revenge game for Reading Mahomes.

181
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: Remember um, who who was it? A honey badger talking

182
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: trash back at the Super Bowl to Tyreek Hill and

183
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: they're roughing up Mahomes. I think he got hit more

184
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: than he had ever in a game. This This game

185
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: meant way, way, way, way way more to the Chiefs,

186
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: who were also coming off a loss last week. I

187
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: should remind you to the Colts. So that's factor number one.

188
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: In Factor number two is easy. Massive hurricane tore through

189
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: the Tampa region this week and the entire organization was

190
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: basically displaced. And it's not just about the organization, that's

191
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: your friends and family and you're checking in with them

192
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: like everybody's going through major crap, and it's like, how

193
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: focused can you be on a football game? What does

194
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: it even matter when there's wreckage? I mean, I think

195
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: Fort Myers is destroyed as a city. It is pummeled,

196
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: It got pummeled. Some of these Tampa football players, I'm

197
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: sure live in areas that got hit hard by the hurricane.

198
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: There's no chance that their focus was on this football game.

199
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: And it stinks for them. And you can see defensively

200
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: it's just they it wasn't there. And so I know, Rob,

201
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: that's not gonna be a popular take, but I'm gonna

202
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: give Tampa a bit of a pass here because I

203
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: don't want to overreact. I still think when you look

204
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: at the cream of the crop in the NFL, the

205
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: Tier one has only three teams Buffalo, the Philadelphia Eagles,

206
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: and the Kansas City Chiefs, and like the next tier,

207
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: like upper middle class, if you will, Tampa is in

208
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: that group. I haven't fully flushed out that group. I

209
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: think Baltimore is in there, but I don't know if

210
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go there yet. But Tampa's in that

211
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: upper middle class there. Next year they're still Super Bowl

212
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: contender despite getting you know, just tossed around by reading Mahomes. Well,

213
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that, Jason, because I was having

214
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: a very rough Sunday night. You know, I bold proclamation

215
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: this time last week when I said, Hey, the Tampa

216
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers are my pick to win the NFC, I'm

217
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: changing my pick after what I saw from then. Defensively,

218
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: and they go and lay up performers like that where

219
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I think they had to give up

220
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: scoring drives on seven of their first eight so it

221
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: was something ridiculous like that. Um, So thank you for

222
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: showing me the glass half full angle from this story.

223
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: We're like Hey, you know what, You're right, It wasn't

224
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: it was a revenge game for Patrick Mallows. You know what,

225
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: You're right. They did have hurricane protocol. They didn't know

226
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: what was gonna go on, and they had to lay

227
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: the Bruce Arians ring of honor and shrineman. So thank

228
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: you for you know, covering my ass on this one.

229
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: But even still, uh, as much as I it hurt

230
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: me to see the it hurts me to say that

231
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: it hurts me that I saw Tom Brady to get

232
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: his ass kicked. You know that that is a whole

233
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: paradox in and of it. The way did they roughed

234
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: him up? Do you see the hit that he took

235
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: when they did um? But to me, the bigger story

236
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: was that Kansas City just looked awesome. I mean, even

237
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: for all the excuses, and you pointed out the built

238
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: in one, especially with the hurricane, is a big one.

239
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: But Patrick Mahomes looked more locked in than I've seen

240
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: him in like a year and a half two years.

241
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: So so if you go back to the opener, they

242
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: looked amazing against the Cardinals. Then on the Island game

243
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, they didn't look amazing, right, I mean,

244
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: Herbert that interception at the goal line. Colts, they can't

245
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: put them away and end up losing, and now they

246
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: look amazing. So what is it with the Chiefs. Let's

247
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: just say they're amazing and they're gonna figure this out right.

248
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of new weapons that they're working in. Um,

249
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know who this running back is who

250
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: wears Tyreek Hill number, his Tyreek Hills number. He's so

251
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: fast and he's got like the long hair, and I'm like,

252
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: wait a minute, do you think there was any design

253
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs were like This guy's built like Tyreek Hill.

254
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: He's got like similar size and quickness and shifting nous.

255
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: Obviously nobody can match Hill's shifting nous, but he's in

256
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: that like jitterbug space. Do you think it's a little

257
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: disrespectful to Tyreek to give it to that guy? No, Honestly,

258
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of a gamesmanship, That's

259
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: what I think. You know. I mean, I know this

260
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: is a comparing apples to oranges, But when I coached

261
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: high school football one season, are our number one receiving

262
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: option was our tight end and he wore number twenty

263
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: two while he was declared academically ineligible before the last

264
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: game of the season, and so what we did was

265
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: we elevated the backup and had him wearing number twenty two.

266
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: So anybody who watched the film was like, Hey, that

267
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: guys still out there. We got to really clap in

268
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: on this dude, and he was nowhere close to that player.

269
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: So maybe this is one of those situation sans where

270
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: Annie Reeve's like, Hey, one of these games, you know,

271
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's a Josh McDaniels who doesn't like look at

272
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: the details too well, and he's like, Hey, I didn't

273
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: know they still a Tyreek Hill. Look at that guy

274
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: number ten right down the fielding he just gets checked by,

275
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, something like that. Yeah, I bet you know

276
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Tyreek's watching that feeling a little salty. Um. It would

277
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: be remiss of me to not point out fifteen minutes

278
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: into the podcast that the New York Football Jets got

279
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: a w on the road went into Pittsburgh. You can't

280
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: just go into Pittsburgh and steal wins from the Steelers. Okay,

281
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: not only did they rip the game away from the

282
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Steelers with fourteen points in the fourth quarter in Pittsburgh,

283
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: but they now created a controversy at quarterback. Mitchell Trabsky

284
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: no longer Maserati bench. He's definitely Mazda Mitch. He has

285
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: been put in the garage and Kenny Pickett was trotted

286
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: out in the second half, so the Jets forced the

287
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Steelers to make the QB change. Can he pick a

288
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: throws three interceptions? Now, one was like a hail May

289
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: at the end kind of another was like a bomb

290
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: that was just picked off, and another was a bad one.

291
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: But he also had two rushing touchdowns, which is a

292
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: little crazy to be just one of the wilder stat

293
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: lines you'll see. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

Speaker 1: in three, and the Patriots are in the last place

299

Speaker 1: under third string quarterback at one in three. Now, this

300
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: is gonna be the portion of the program where I'm

301
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,359
Speaker 1: gonna get a little excited for the Jets. Here's why.

302
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Look who they have this week? They host the Miami Dolphins. Folks,

303
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you followed the two Miami mess

304
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: over the weekend. But there is something called an UNK

305
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: on the sidelines at every football game for every team.

306
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: It's UH, and I got to get the exact terminology here,

307
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: but basically, UH it stands for an unaffiliated neuro consultant, right,

308
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: every team has one, and that person is supposed to

309
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: do the assessments for concussions. So at the Miami Buffalo

310
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: one two weeks ago when to Of got that concussion,

311
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: and we all know who's a concussion and then he

312
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: staggered and they called it a back injury, but that

313
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: he had to be cleared by that u n C

314
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: on an affiliated neuro consultant to go back in the game.

315
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: So he went in and they ended up getting to win,

316
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: and people largely forgot about it because they got the

317
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: win over Buffalo. And then it was like, well, we

318
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: don't know if who was gonna play this week against Cincinnati.

319
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: And he goes out Thursday and he gets ragged, all

320
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: tossed down and it was ugly. He was knocked out.

321
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: And to listen, I mean the fortunate spot where I've

322
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: got some friends who are e er doctors. I know

323
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: a brain surgeon who just happens to be a good

324
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: buddy of mine because his daughter and my daughter are

325
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: in the same grade and play sports together. Um. And

326
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: you know when if you if you were to talk

327
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: to a brain surgeon about to his injury, he very

328
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: likely had some sort of seizure. That's why the fingers

329
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: did the scary curl thing and like that ain't pretty.

330
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: And if we say that too, I had a concussion

331
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: against the Bills and then two have had another concussion

332
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: as well as a seizure against the Bengals. There's no

333
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: way he's playing football for a while. No way. If

334
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: he's tried it out onto the field against the Jets,

335
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: it would be there's just no chance. This is how

336
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: bad you know it was. The NFL was trotting out.

337
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: It's like medical expert top people to CNN on like

338
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday to kind of try to clear this up.

339
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: It's a terrible look for the league. You cannot have

340
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: someone going out there getting multiple concussions that quickly, and

341
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: the risk of death is there. It is. And my guests,

342
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: I've I've texted with two um brain surgeons who are

343
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: now saying he should not play football for the rest

344
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: of the season. And my guess is I don't think

345
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: Tool will play for at least a month. Now, this

346
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: is football, and at this point I'm gonna mention the

347
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: JJ Watt saga. I'm sure you guys saw this. Thursday.

348
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: J J. Watt had a heart procedure. Apparently they tried

349
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: to keep it quiet. I guess somebody leaked something. So

350
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: what beat them to the punch before the reporter. I

351
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: guess the reporter called him and he what didn't want

352
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: some reporter doing that. I'll tell my own story. So

353
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: he comes out and says, I had a heart procedure Thursday,

354
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna play. And it's like, what a heart

355
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: procedure on Thursday and you're playing on Sunday. That's that

356
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: warrior football mentality that to a had where he's like,

357
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I got he's got dazed against the Bills.

358
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: I can go back in the game, shure, no problem,

359
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm ready. And Justin Herbert with the rib cardinage, oh yeah,

360
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: let me go play, and they like, there's nothing we

361
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: can do to get that out of these guys. And

362
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: if you've ever played sports and you have, like you

363
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: get your bell rung, you still want to go out

364
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: there but it's the job of the experts who specialize

365
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: in this field and work with the teams to keep

366
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: these guys from killing themselves. And you know, she and J. J.

367
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: Watt he had a great game, by the way, And

368
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: we're not gonna really talk about the Cardinals. They did

369
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: come through for me. Um. You know, well, we might

370
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: talk about the Cardinals in a bit. But like this

371
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: idea that what felt he needed to play is insane.

372
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: What does that guy have left to proof he's a

373
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, He's in, He's had a great career.

374
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: What what are you doing? So my guest to get

375
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: all the way back to the Jets. They will face

376
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater on Sunday, and I have yet to see

377
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: a line for this game because obviously nobody knows who's

378
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna start. I'm just telling you, there's just no freaking

379
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: way to a concert that game. So all of a sudden,

380
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: you got the Jets against Teddy Bridgewater. Jets playing well,

381
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: The cornerbacks are good. The safeties had their best day

382
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: of the season against Pittsburgh. I think they had to

383
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: combine three interceptions. New York's offense was Zach Wilson. Listen,

384
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: I know Wilson was not great. He had one bad

385
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: interception that flipped the game in the first At the

386
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: end of the first half, Jets should have we're going

387
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: to go up more than ten three, And then of

388
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: course Wilson throws a terrible interception. Pittsburgh comes all the

389
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: way down and gets a field goal. And then he

390
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: had another interception off a tight end Conklin, who has

391
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: been a disaster since they signed him, right off his hands,

392
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: pick six to make a Fitzpatrick or whatever. And it

393
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: was like, okay, But then Wilson came through in the

394
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. And I'll say this with Garrett Wilson, UH Carter,

395
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: running back, Corey Davis, um Elijah Moore, the Jets have options,

396
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: and they went through a Pittsburgh defense. It's pretty good

397
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: without many issues. I think they'll be okay against Miami.

398
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm willing to pick them will

399
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: win out right, but I really do think there's a

400
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: huge game for the Jets that listen the a f

401
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: C scenes. Some carnate drob. I know people think of Jason,

402
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 1: you said the same nonsense. When they beat the Browns,

403
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: then they come out and get their butts kicked by

404
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: the Bengals. That was January Joe Flacco. Okay, uh, I

405
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: think there's something here that the Jets could build on.

406
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Now they have to win this game because after that

407
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson followed by Belichick who

408
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: will probably have Mac Jones at that point. And after

409
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: Mac Jones then they have Buffalo. So if they can

410
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: get three and two, steal one of those, be five

411
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: at the break. That's like pie in the sky. Um.

412
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: And now, Rob, I've prattled on about the Jets for

413
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: five five minutes, and you're not that impressed with them,

414
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: I gather, no, not that impressed with the New York

415
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: get your politans. Like, I'm happy for you because I

416
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: know that it's been you know, tough waters for you, uh,

417
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: going back for basically last decade. No, your entire life

418
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: for the most part. But I'll let you get it

419
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: off your chest. Your Raiders took down the Broncos. I

420
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: was you know, this is my problem, Rob, the games

421
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: that I say I like early in the week for

422
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: whatever reason, I'm too emotional, and I wish I said

423
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: early in the week. I like Broncos did not come through.

424
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: I like Texans earlier in the week they get shell.

425
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: They kind of came back and made it interesting. But

426
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense, and did you hear the news about

427
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams. Sounds like it could be a season ender.

428
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: That's devastated. And then I put in Melvin Gordon. All

429
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: that guy does is freaking fumble the football, always at

430
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: the most inopportune times. Hands just vomits it up. It's

431
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: not even like the ball was punched out. Did you

432
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: see it was spun down like it's of me, Chris

433
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: Code up the ball. It pops up, boom seven yards.

434
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: The other way touchdown was like f life. Um, anyways,

435
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, Josh Jacobs over a hundred Davante Adams look good.

436
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: It's a good win. Yeah, it was a good win.

437
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned how important I hate bringing back

438
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: to the Gets, but you mentioned how important it is

439
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: the second grea week because they got Aaron Rodgers and

440
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson right after that. I don't think that those

441
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: next two games are as daunting as you know you

442
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 1: might think, because I mean, we've seen Russell Wilson now

443
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: in a couple of Island games. Um, I watched him obviously,

444
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Raiders. He is an absolute shell of himself.

445
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: What is it him? Though? I mean, look, I know

446
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: that Colin Cowherdson. I say, hey, it's a whole new offense.

447
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: Give him a break, you know, you got to give

448
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: him time to adjust to the Nathaniel Hackett offense. But

449
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: when I watch Russell Wilson, and again we've seen a

450
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: lot of him recently, Um, he just doesn't look like

451
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson. That makes you nervous as a as

452
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: you know, No, he just he he looks slower, you know,

453
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: which comes with age. You know it's not to be unusual.

454
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: But it's not like he's carving anyone up either, Like

455
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever been Russell Wilson's forte let

456
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Russ cook has never been about him pulling an Aaron

457
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: Rodgers and just lighting you up from inside the pocket.

458
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: You know it's seven yards fifteen yards deep past. He's

459
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: doing everything Tom Brady did that you know, been back

460
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: in his stay day Russell Wilson, when he was cooking,

461
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: it was because he was making things happen. It wasn't

462
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: one two, three, boom, five boom, play action boom. It

463
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: was something's off script, hits him rolling to his right,

464
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: evading a guy and hitting a forty yard across the middle,

465
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: you know, to a third string tight end. That was

466
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that Russell Wilson was doing in

467
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: Seattle when he was putting up those big numbers. Now

468
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: I think he has better weapons. I would say that

469
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: he's probably ever had, you know, all due respected to

470
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: hit make affatiteler Lockett. I don't think those two alone

471
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: can compete to what you mentioned. You know, Javonte Williams,

472
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: you got, uh, Jerry Judy was a first round pick.

473
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: I think Coreland Sutton is very underrated. He's got weapons

474
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: all over the place, but he is not making defense

475
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: like he's not making a defense pay the way you'd

476
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: expect an upper echelon quarterback to do. So some of

477
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: the numbers disagree, so they average six point two yards

478
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: of play like the offense was good. They had a

479
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: couple of bombs. Hamdler caught one, Judy had a couple

480
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: of nice receptions. Kendall Hilton Hinton, whoever that is called one.

481
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had a higher quarterback rating than Derek Carr

482
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: one to seventy six now, I know that's not saying much.

483
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: Where I think the Broncos lost this game, feel free

484
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: to disagree, is Defensively, the Raiders ran seventy four place.

485
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: They had the ball for thirty four minutes, five first downs,

486
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: they were on fourth on third down. They basically got

487
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: whatever they wanted. The Broncos had not given up a

488
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: one yard rusher or receiver through three games. The Raiders

489
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: had both of those. This defense, I don't know what

490
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: the hell happened to it. If the Raiders had executed

491
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: in the red zone. This is back to back weeks.

492
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Is a troubling theme for your guys. This probably would

493
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: have been a blowout. But I didn't think Russ was

494
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: that bad. I know he's an easy target because people

495
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: don't love him. Um, I just I could not believe

496
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: how bad the Denver defense was. Could not get off

497
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: the field. No, by the way, Randy Gregory got hurt too,

498
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: I don't know his status. Yeah, I mean, look, so

499
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: I watched every second of that game because unlike Jason mcinturre,

500
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't got the funds to just get all of

501
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: the NFL packages and watched every single, you know, minute

502
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: of every game. But I watched every second of that game,

503
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: and in the second half, the Denver Broncos, outside of

504
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: one late touchdown drive, had one, two, three, four or

505
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: five other five series a net total of thirteen yards.

506
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: Say what you want about the Raiders, ball control offense

507
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: and it and it worked out again. Josh Jacobs had

508
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: a good game. Derek Carr did not have to do much.

509
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: He actually needed more with his legs than he had

510
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: you know all seas he had two big, big swirts

511
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: scrambling for first downs. But look, the Denver Broncos are

512
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: outside of probably my Raiders. But I guess since we

513
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: beat them, we kind of move up all around. They're

514
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: the most disappointed team in football to me, Like even

515
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: with that two and two record, and you know, according

516
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: to the NFL all this parody, they're right there in

517
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: the mix alongside, you know, the the Jets and and

518
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens. They says they have the same record. Watching

519
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: the games, the Denver Broncos are nowhere close to a

520
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: playoff contending team. To me, yeah, they're out of the

521
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: gates slow um quickly. Rest of the NFC, though, it's

522
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: like NFC North two and two, two and two, two

523
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: and two one and three. No, I don't think anybody

524
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: there's great. I think the Ravens are the best team there,

525
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: but they have stay of injury issues as usual. AFC South,

526
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: we know it's trash. Although Tennessee has won two in

527
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: a row, they have a negative twenty point differential. A

528
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: quick note on Jacksonville, so that game was wacky. I

529
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: backed off of it. Remember I like Jacksonville during the week.

530
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to look at him, but then I backed

531
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: off and I was gonna take the Eagles, and I

532
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: ended up taking nothing. I had no money whatsoever on

533
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: this game. And it was weird because it was fourteen

534
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: nothing Jags and everyone's like, oh gosh, Eagles are frauds,

535
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: and that was deceptive because you gotta pick six and

536
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: you get that scripted drive for a touchdown fourteen nothing.

537
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: It was as if Trevor Lawrence, once the rain started

538
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: coming down, had never played in the rain before. He

539
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: fumbled four times, rob lost all of them. Two of

540
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: them were on snaps, and he also had an interception.

541
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: But as a result, this led to like super short

542
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: scored shoring drives. The Eagles had touchdown drives A fifty seven,

543
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: thirty five and twenty four. That's not sustainable. You're not

544
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: just gonna keep getting turnovers and make the pay for

545
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 1: short fields. So I know, I put the Eagles up

546
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: there with Buffalo and Kansas City, but I think they

547
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: are a clear notch below them in the upper class.

548
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: Rob would you agree or no Ah? I mean, the

549
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: thing with the Eagles is that offensive line is so

550
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: good that they've made Miles Sanders, you know, relevant again,

551
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: like like the Philadelphia Eagle. I think I had the

552
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars winning that and if excuse me, afc South

553
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: before the season, So I was one of those people

554
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: who was crowing when it was fourteen nothing. I was

555
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: feeling really good about, you know, what was going on.

556
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: But as I'm keeping track with the game on my

557
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: phone and I'm seeing, you know, the Philadelphia Eagles, we're

558
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of running rough shot over them at the end

559
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: of the game with over two yards rushing on the ground,

560
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: they can they can drop the hammer, unlike Baltimore, which

561
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: kids exactly. And that's one of the big differences I

562
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: think between Philadelphia and some of those To your point,

563
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: the other upper tier teams being Buffalo in Kansas City,

564
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: is that Buffalo cannot run the ball at all, say

565
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen Scramble and the Kansas City Chiefs cannot

566
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: run the ball consistently. And so I think what's going

567
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 1: to separate as we get deeper into the season, And

568
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those tried and trude, you

569
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: know lines that come out of former NFL players is

570
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: defense and running the ball is what gets you into

571
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs and which wins in the postseason especially, and

572
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: when the weather gets exactly and you're playing in the

573
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: NFC East, you're probably gonna be hosting playoff games. With

574
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: the hot starter that you have right now, teams are

575
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to go up to Philadelphia in twenty degree weather.

576
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna be able to kind of impose their will

577
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: on a lot of teams because this is already how

578
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: they've been doing it early in the season. They're not

579
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to wrap themselves up and into the colder months.

580
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: So I think that the Philadelphia Eagles are definitely a

581
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: They belong up in that upper tier for sure. Um

582
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: quickly in the NFC don't have much as much here.

583
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: Um obviously, people are gonna make a big thing about

584
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: the Packers. I'll take it next level. So the Packers

585
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: were able to knock Brian Hoyer out. That was where

586
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: Shawn Gary, who's an animal. Um he has a sack

587
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: in each of their games. So he knocks Whoyer out

588
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: of the game. Then he forced a fumble, then he

589
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: recovered a fumble like that's the kind of season deck

590
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: guys having where Shan Gary is a is a bad boy.

591
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: But they get the win over Bailey Zappy and the

592
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: Patriots an unimpressive win for sure. I'm sure this morning,

593
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: later this morning, I coward he will be bashing the

594
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: Packers because they did not look great, and that's undeniable.

595
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: They did not look great. They should have won the

596
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: game in regulation. Romeo Dobbs dropped. Is it Dubs or Dobbs?

597
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: I always thought it was, but I mean whatever kick

598
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: from Nevada. The rookie dropped a touchdown pass with like

599
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: five seconds left. Aaron Rodgers just put a beautiful pass.

600
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: It drops it in the end zone or he couldn't

601
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 1: control it through the through the ground and then they

602
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: have to win in overtime. I'll just say this, the

603
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: Packers ended up beating a third a string quarterback Bailey

604
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: Zappy do you know who the Packers playing next week?

605
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: Rob without cheating, Uh, it's the Giants. It's because they're

606
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: both three and one. So it was like a big

607
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: thing on Twitter. It's like, oh yeah, one of the

608
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: first times that you've if you guys watch any of

609
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: the Giants game, because I bet on the frigging Bears,

610
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: I had to watch this garbage. Daniel Jones got knocked

611
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: out with an ankle injury. His backup comes in Tyrod

612
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: Taylor concussion. So what did they do in the fourth quarters,

613
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: Like five minutes left, they ran se Kwon Barkley out

614
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: of the wildcat. Now they're so hurt at wide receiver

615
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: that they had to bring Daniel Jones back onto the field.

616
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: And he was set out as like a wide receiver,

617
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: but like you know how they would like jokingly put

618
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback out. There's like a decoy, that's all he was.

619
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: He could not I don't think he could function on

620
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: like if he needed to do anything. You certainly they

621
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: didn't want to risk him handing off falling down. That's so,

622
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: so there's a chance if Danny Dimes can't go and

623
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor's can cuss, they're gonna have to face a

624
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: practice squad quarterback, right, and the Packers are gonna then

625
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: be four and one because they're not losing that game.

626
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: And you just look at it. They beat the Bears,

627
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: Patriots third stringer, Giants third stringer. You start looking a

628
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: little fugazi here. And again, I don't want to totally

629
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: defend Aaron Rodgers because I know you guys, you know

630
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: they're good. How do I say this in a nice manner?

631
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 1: They're working with a lot of new pieces on the

632
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: offensive line getting healthy and at receiver, and Aaron Rodgers

633
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: is clearly not happy with what's happening. And I think

634
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, Rob mentioned to me that Rogers said winning

635
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: this way is not sustainable. That is a thousand percent correct.

636
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: They cannot do this against good teams third string quarterback, sure,

637
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: good teams. No, But my guess is he's so good

638
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: of a quarterback they're gonna be fine by November, right,

639
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: for more weeks. I don't know. Do you think this

640
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: is not a top tier team, Rob? Not right now? No?

641
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I mean, would you put him on Tampa's level,

642
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: in that second upper middle class, Yes, they're probably on

643
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: the back end of that tier. Actually, like even though

644
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: they wanted to Tampa one. I know Tampa had no receiver. Yeah,

645
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: it's had. Tampa was really banged up, and and that

646
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: should have been one of those games where the Greenay

647
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: Packers kind of put it on them because they're the

648
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: healthier team at that point in the season and their

649
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: their inability to get separation is a little sad and disturbing.

650
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: But elsewhere in the NFC, I listen, I know we

651
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: should be crowing about Cooper Rush because he's three and

652
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: oh and he doesn't commit turnovers and that's all Washington does.

653
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: Reality is going to set in almost certainly this weekend

654
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: for Dallas and Cooper Rush. He's facing Aaron Donald and

655
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: the Rams. Now I'm not saying it's automatic Rams play here,

656
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: but everybody thinks because Cooper Rush beat the Bengals, who

657
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: at the time were a sad sack team, and then

658
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush went on Mounday Night Football and beat the Giants,

659
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: who are a sad sack team. And now he dispatched

660
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders, which was like a one score game

661
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: with like seven minutes left I think before they got

662
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: some some late time late points. Washington's awful two interceptions

663
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: from whence two fourth downs? If if Matt Rule wasn't

664
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: in such dire straits in Carolina. And by the way,

665
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: I saw a quote, because I you know, you gotta

666
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: read all this stuff after the game for injuries. I

667
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: saw a quote where Matt Rule effectively did not want

668
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: to really talk about the game because he needs to

669
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: watch the film. I almost think there's a chance Matt

670
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: Rule gets fired this week. This is how bad they

671
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: were robbed. They've now played four games this season. Okay,

672
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: the offense has not top three d yards. He brought

673
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: in Macadoo, the goofball, he brought in baker Field. The

674
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: Cardinals batted down nine baker Mayfield passes nine J. J.

675
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: Watt had a few of them. And it's like, okay,

676
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: Matt will Well, let you bring in Joe Brady is

677
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator. That did not work. Now you're bringing

678
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: in McAdoo. Now you brought in your quarterback. We've given

679
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: you everything you haven't given us, Jack Squad and I

680
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: would not be shocked if Rule got shown his walking papers.

681
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: But another problem is who do you elevate the head coach?

682
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: Because this was ghastly and they play the Niners next

683
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: and then the Rams and then the Bucks. Raw do

684
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: you go ahead and fire him now or just wait

685
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,959
Speaker 1: for him to get hammered by the Niners or Rams

686
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: or Bucks or all three. I think first you make

687
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: a change of quarterback before you I mean, I don't

688
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: even know if I think Donald comes off the i

689
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: R this week. Then then put in what do they

690
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: have Matt corral No, he got hurt in the preseason.

691
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: Nobody they have that PJ. Walker might be PJ Walker?

692
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: Let me check, because Baker J. Walker. Baker Mayfield sucks.

693
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has sucked for two years now. Baker Mayfield

694
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: time out time. I need to throw a flag on that. Okay,

695
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: he was in the playoffs January. He beat Pittsburgh two

696
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Dude, it hasn't been technically two years ago. Okay.

697
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy how this is. You know, Rob all

698
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: the time in life we talked about, you know, the

699
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: thin margin in sports. You know, somebody gets injured as

700
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: they're ascending, then they can't get the contract and they

701
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: never recovered. It's over. Baker Mayfield story has to be

702
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: up there. The guy led the league in commercials two

703
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: seasons ago, helped the Browns. I know they had to

704
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: run game in the line and the defense get to

705
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They one in Pittsburgh. I know they got

706
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of interceptions. It was a crazy game, but

707
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: he still threw two touchdowns and was not bad in

708
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: that game at all. He was good in fact, and

709
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: they nearly took down the Chiefs Whome. I'll never forget

710
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: my homes getting the concussion and they have to turn

711
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: to Chucks. I don't remember the guy that Chad Henny yet.

712
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: Chad Hennessey and the coach did not trust Baker to

713
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: make a go on fourth down, so they punted and

714
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: then never got the ball back. I'll never forget that

715
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: because that was like, we don't trust Baker. Baker comes

716
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: out the next season hurt in September, shoulder, banged up,

717
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: tried to play through it like a hero. Toast goes

718
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: to Carolina. I thought he had a chance. He looks dreadful.

719
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: He's not good. He's definitely not good. But here's my thing.

720
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: Once he's cut loose by Carolina, do you think anybody

721
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: gives him a chance or is he too much of

722
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: a distracted guy who can't hold a clipboard. He's gone,

723
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: he's out of the NFL. Nobody, nobody's willing to take

724
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: him on. No, because he he hasn't shown the kind

725
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: of emotional maturity to be a backup quarterback. On talent,

726
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: he is good enough to in an NFL roster, he's

727
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: not good enough to start. I think that's pretty clear.

728
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, how many guys can say that they had

729
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. And made him fantasy irrelevant? Is gonna

730
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 1: get in the ball? He had d J. Moore who

731
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: had three straight years of lee hundre yards and he

732
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: had d J. Moore's best game ever this, you know,

733
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield was yesterday when we had six catches

734
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: for fifty Like that was an explosion of sorts for

735
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: d J. Moore with Baker Mayfield that quarterback. The other

736
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: problem that he has not at least you know, he's

737
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: just not that great, is they're getting booed obviously late

738
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: in that game because merci, you know it was they

739
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: weren't good. And one of the things that he says

740
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: is after the game, when they asked him about it,

741
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 1: did we go down to score touchdown? If they started

742
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: booing yes, we did? No, he did not say yeah,

743
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: We responded with the garbage snipe touchdown when they were booing,

744
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: because let him know that that's how we roll. It's like, dude,

745
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,479
Speaker 1: you you're you don't your talent does not match your

746
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: you'll set excuse me, your your your your actually, your

747
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: mouth doesn't match your skills. His mouth is writing checks. Exactly,

748
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: That's what I meant to say, classic Top Gun movie. Yes, exactly.

749
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: He's not good enough for the chip, for the comments,

750
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: for the T shirts, for the podcast, you know, appearances,

751
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: He's just not. So here's my question. Does Baker Mayfield

752
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 1: is Baker? How is this is week one? Is Baker

753
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: Mayfield on an NFL roster or is he in the

754
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: studio at a TV network? If you would ask me

755
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: this question in four more weeks, I can give you

756
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: a definitive answer. Right now, my lean is he's working

757
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: for ESPN cover covering Big twelve football. He's in the studio,

758
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 1: and he's talking about Oklahoma Texas, those kind of teams.

759
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: Zero chance of that. Okay, First of all, I think

760
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: almost certainly Baker is going to be like listen, I'm

761
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: gonna stay ready. And for instance, Patriots on their third

762
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: drink quarterback, who are they calling this week New York

763
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: Giants third drink quarter Who are they calling this week?

764
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: You tell me you're not gonna call Baker Mayfield next

765
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: year if you're in the spot. No, I mean the

766
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: Giants are somehow three and one and they're on the

767
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: third string quarterback. No, you're not calling Baker Mayfield. Who

768
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: are you calling? Somebody who is familiar with your system?

769
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has only had success in the NFL with

770
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: a coach who took the ball out of his hands.

771
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: M hm. And and is he going to to humble

772
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: himself and become Chase Daniels. No, he's not going to.

773
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: All das are that he's not. So then why would

774
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: you waste your time? M hm. Wow, I'm a little

775
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: surprised you went there, Rob. I think he's he's I

776
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be like I'm staying ready. I'll be

777
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: ready for whatever. Um. But that's a good uh note

778
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: to wrap up on before we get to Monday night

785
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: Here's your best bet. So I was one three and

786
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: one of the contest. Not a great feeling, obviously. Um

787
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: that sets me at eleven seven and one weight is

788
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 1: that even? Yeah? Eleven No, eleven eight and one. Not ideal?

789
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: Not out of it because this was a weekend where

790
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: the public cleaned up, but good betters struggled. And I

791
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: consider myself a good better. I mean, my bank roll

792
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: would agree. I'm sure there's a bunch of Twitter people

793
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: who would disagree, but I mean, I think I'm in

794
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 1: fine shape for the For the contest, I have nothing

795
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: on Niners Rams. Rob Shanahan has absolutely dominating McVeigh. But

796
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: Shannahan does not have Trent Williams. I will counter that

797
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: because I like countering my own arguments. They've had a

798
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: week to prepare for no Trent Williams. They have Jimmy Garoppolo,

799
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback. I don't know why everybody in their

800
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: mom is on the Rams in this game. I will

801
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: take the forty Niners on the money line. That will

802
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: be my only bet. I should take the under, but

803
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: we just saw member Chiefs Tampa. Everybody's like, oh Weather,

804
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: gotta be an under, prime time, gotta be an under.

805
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: And it was like seventies something points scored. I'm not

806
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: a pass on the on the total, I will go

807
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: Niners on the money line. And I want to do

808
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: a player prop. And I think this is a George

809
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: Kittle game. Remember, Garoppolo is still working his way back,

810
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: Kittle still working his way back. And I just I'm

811
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna lean on Shanahan, who's just getting eviscerated for that

812
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: awful performance against Denver. He was getting asked about Jimmy

813
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: g mouthing stuff. Um on Sunday Night football, your place,

814
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: suck man, So listen. I like McVeigh and the Rams.

815
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: I'll root for them. I'll take the Ram forty Niners

816
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: on the money line. Here, Rob and he bet for

817
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: you. You You know, it's funny that you brought up the

818
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: total because that was the only thing I felt confident

819
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: in this game. It's going down from forty to forty

820
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: two and a half. I'm taking the under, and as

821
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: if there is there's nothing to do with my my

822
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: feeling about it, it's that I don't think that the

823
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: Rams are consistent right now. I think the only thing

824
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: they're consistent is they're inconsistent. I think Matthew Stafford is

825
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: due for at least the turnovers set at prop one

826
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 1: and a half. I'm taking the over. I just don't

827
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: feel good about where he's at right now and that offense.

828
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: And for whatever reason, Kyle Shanahan kind of owns Sean McVeigh,

829
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: even in games where like in the playoff game last

830
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: year where the nineer ended up winning, it didn't feel

831
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: to me like the Rams were ever in control of

832
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: that game. It felt like it was played at the

833
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: niners pace and it was going the way they intended

834
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: it to go, and it just so happens that a

835
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: dropped to Quass guitar interception ended up being the difference.

836
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: So I'm just leaning the under. I have no side

837
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,919
Speaker 1: on him. Just give me the under. Yeah, it's weird.

838
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: McVeigh owns Kingsbury. I think McVeigh has done incredible against

839
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: Seattle as well, But for whatever reason, Shanahan total dominance

840
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: over McVeigh. He just he has his numbers. So that's

841
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: where we're at. This is a small play for me,

842
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: nothing huge. Um. I need to I need to look,

843
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: I like that Falcons win. So many people were like,

844
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: do I heard Falcon's biggest play of the season. That's

845
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: a great job what you got this week? And I

846
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: was like, I don't like this week, and Rob you

847
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: know this. You don't have to have a pick every week. Um, early,

848
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I don't think you could bet a

849
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: lot of these games because we don't know about the

850
00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: quarterback situations with New England, with the Giants. UM, I

851
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 1: don't see Jets Dolphins on the board anywhere. Um. It's

852
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: just it's very tough to wager this early. But I'll

853
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: say this, Uh, something smells weird That Buffalo is fourteen

854
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: at home against Pittsburgh. That just seems like a huge

855
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: number of Buffalo off two massive games. Remember what I said.

856
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: Their defense is on the field for seventy four plays

857
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: and then they had that long one in Miami. They

858
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: look very sluggish to start. I know Pittsburgh is bad.

859
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: I know Pittsburgh's borderline unbeatable. Something smells fishy. That's a

860
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: humongous line. Anyways, all right, that's it for Monday. We'll

861
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: be back tomorrow. Talk to you that
