WEBVTT - 2023 Week 7 Preview 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:06.800 They around the NFL podcast He's done locking up the. 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.680 Charger from the Chris Wesling podcast studio. 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:12.000 It's around the NFL. 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.400 My name is Dan hansis got heroes here, Greg Rosenthal 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.760 and Mark Sessler. Yeah, I would say in our locks 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:23.120 competition that locking up the Chargers is just asking for trouble. 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.680 Whether you're a fan or enjoy their brand of football, 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.000 it's not. It's not predictable on any. 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:32.519 Level, right, But you know, I appreciate what Jason's attempting 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.920 to do there Jason Zumwelt, But like the actual facts 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.320 are that I promised to never lock them again this season. 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.479 If Greg I would have, I would happily do it. 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.200 I'll be curious see if anyone dares lock against them 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.599 this week. I feel like that's that's the most Uh, 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:48.760 that's the biggest point spread you could lock. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.159 So we'll see interesting pick against just. 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.360 Maybe when he's playing Patrick Mahomes they would, but it's 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.720 been a tough matchup for him. Yes, this is a 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.080 I don't know if another week will tie it. Perhaps 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:03.840 I'm not sure. I don't remember how it works, but 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.240 there won't be another week that has more teams unbuy 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:12.600 than a Week seven. Cincinnati, Dallas, Tennessee Jets, Carolina, Houston 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:17.280 all off this week, so we have a fewer games 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:17.679 to get to. 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.440 I want to just throw a couple things out there. 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.120 First of all, injuries, you're kind of going through the game, 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:27.280 you're thinking about what's going on. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.000 In the league right now. 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:30.640 Injuries feel like and I know injuries are always a 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.480 big part of our league, but I counted up eight teams, 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.760 that's a quarter of the league have a major injury 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.840 issue at the quarterback position. 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.040 Which it's early for that. 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.360 There's nothing worse than dealing with an injury at the 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.000 quarterback position. It can kind of take down a whole operation. 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.000 In some cases it has. There are also as we 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:53.240 enter Week seven boys, fifteen teams. Was my eldest son, 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.080 Jack hopped into bed with me this morning and I 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.120 was looking at the standings and I was just going 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.240 through it all with him, and then he want to 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:01.440 see like everything. 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.880 So, oh, you could do that. The Deeper Metrics itemized it. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.120 I guess you could call it that, and then it 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.640 was the entire league one through thirty two, and then 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.280 it caught my eye. There are fifteen teams, nearly half 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.120 the league that are either three and two, three and 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.120 three or two and three, So parody is as strong 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.520 as ever. Things are wide open, and you throw in 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.000 the injuries to the all over the league, including out 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.919 the quarterback position, it's a wide open season. 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.240 Well, it's exactly what the NFL wants the mission accomplished 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:28.680 on the battle. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.440 Yes, I guess it's what we want. I don't know. 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.160 I would say last year the one thing, but because 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.280 I always feel like, oh, there's way more injuries this year, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.200 and then you if you dig down, it's like one 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.160 percent more. But like last year, and you did this 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.880 with QB Index with the end you have to rank 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.639 every quarterback that appeared in a game, and they were 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.200 like forty eight of them. So it's like, I think 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.720 we're on pace to hit that again. Basically we're gonna 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:51.400 we're gonna have more. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.680 Yeah, whether the data backs up that there are more 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:55.679 injuries this year, I don't know, it doesn't really matter. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.360 It's more just like it's just a reminder of how 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.960 that is such a major factor in these seasons. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.360 You could go into a season feeling good about your. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.960 Roster, but it is the depth of your roster that 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:07.480 really ultimately at least. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.200 It's also the week where I mean, and I've been 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.280 barely tracking the fantasy league. I mean then, but there's 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.880 a lot of squawking about, like a bunch of teams 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.720 on buys and a bunch of injuries already, You've got 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.280 like Joe Fabeats starting at running back at. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:20.960 This I'm gonna this is my favorite week of the year, 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.240 by the way, So we got my my favorite team 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:23.639 on buy. 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.040 Yeah, I'm having a totally lost fantasy year. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.560 I'm already out of contention essentially, which thinks, but also 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.600 there's a freedom to that. There is, So I got 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.119 there no jets to worry about. I got no fantasy 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:38.080 like thing to like obsess over. Just watch them football 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.760 like the old days, like a real American, like. 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.440 A true American, and then get my music now, and 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.680 then go into a studio and honk about it for 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.320 ninety minutes on Sunday night. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:48.240 Can't wait. 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.840 Okay, Yeah, these teams and coaches take alcoholics. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:52.640 They want to make a week. 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.600 How there are six teams on buying week thirteen deep 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.760 into the year, so that's'll be a nice little hmm 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:58.880 aniebye for us. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.160 All right, let's get into it. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:05.360 On Wednesday's show, in which we forked multiple teams, we 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.680 previewed the Island games, the primetime games. Today, oh till 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:13.520 later tonight, we're gonna have the recap of Thursday night football. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.799 Remind me of the game, Greg, it's Jack Saints. Hopefully 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.200 Trevor Lawrence plays. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.000 Game time decision trending towards as we record this, and 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.960 Greg will be on that call with a special guest. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.520 So that's coming up later tonight. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.680 But let's dig in now to the rest of the games, 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.080 and the first overall pick of the week, presented by 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.520 DraftKings does go to Greg Rosenthal. 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:36.640 Not Greg Rosenstein. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.960 No, No Bolt the one, the only I got lucky again. 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.480 Greg Rosenthal. No, there are. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.159 More, you know what with there, I might be the 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.680 only one with triple G, only one on the planet. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.200 I would guarantee you that's not the case. 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.080 I don't know. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.120 I've googled, I don't know. It's possible. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.400 There's not another Dan Hansis. I can tell you that there. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.120 Is a Mark Cecil with a sn and I think 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.279 he's like a chef on the East Coast. 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.880 Kill him. Yeah, he's got to go, he must go. 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.520 I'm taking Lions Ravens. Let's you know, remove Donner dram 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:07.000 out here. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:07.919 What a game. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.760 I mean, we already talked one of the games of 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.479 the year's Dolphins Eagles. But there's two games this week, Dan, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:20.120 involving two teams ranked in the top seven DVOA on 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.480 the season, and that's your number two Detroit Lions right 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.080 now and your number four Baltimore Ravens. So that's a 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.039 little numerical support to the feeling that I've had that 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.680 this Ravens team is better than the dumb mistakes that 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.080 they made. That underlying foundation in terms of how tough 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.480 they are on both sides of the ball, how much 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.520 they move the ball, and how well they've done preventing 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.320 other teams to move the ball is the profile of 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.200 a really good team. And it's to show me something 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.599 game for both teams, kind of like who's tougher? 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:50.599 That's how I start. 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.320 Both of these teams have been able to run the 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.800 ball at various points, but not all the time, and 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.200 I think they both really want to. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.679 So who's going to be tougher? Upfront? 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.359 I love the idea of like Rokwan Smith, who is 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.360 a big friend of our show, for various reasons dating 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.880 back to last season and Patrick Queen end of the show. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.480 I mean, he was the subject of a much debated 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:13.920 emergency podcast. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.800 Yeh, but he's been like that trade, which you know, 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.840 like the Bears gave up, gave. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.320 Up on him, like the superstar. 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.360 He's been great for them and I think he's made 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.800 Patrick Queen better and and their defense are. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.679 Good a lot, a little bit of a flash playing focus. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.919 I know in the end the emergency podcast looks like 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.440 he should be in the Defensive Player of the Year. Yeah, 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.640 it was. It was pressing, and like they've they've been 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.640 good versus the past as well, and it's like, I 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.200 I like this Lion's passing game. I feel like there's 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.520 been these periods with Jared Goff where it's like, Okay, 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.120 he fits in the offense, but it's not because of 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.200 Jared Goff. And it's like Jared Goff's making some plays 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.520 because he's got some talent around him. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:48.840 And then they got a great offensive lines. 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.960 So now I'm like Jared Goff is like actually on 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.440 a week two week basis. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.040 Playing the best football of his entire career and. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.800 Feels like he's PFF's number one quarterback, very similar to 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.400 twenty eighteen at this point in the season, when he 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.520 was a legit MVP candidate. 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.599 We all owe Jared goffin apology because I can't remember 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.640 another player that reached the heights that he did in 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.040 Los Angeles that was ever written off or thought of 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.240 more as an afterthought. 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:15.960 Go check the tape of this podcast. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.520 Maybe one of us was into it, but it all 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.040 seemed like that's Stafford trade. He was the guy that 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.040 went back to make the money work. He was the 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.920 guy that would simply serve as the bridge till the Lions, 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.480 you know, hit the reboot the quarterback position, and instead 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.080 he's become a real obvious difference maker. Now does that 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.040 mean that he can't be flummis that he can't fail 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:36.960 in a big spot if you cook him up and 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.640 put him in a comfortable spot. Of course, that can happen. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.560 It just hasn't really happened very often in Detroit. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.640 And this is one week where it could. Because I'm 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.680 really impressed with Mike McDonald. I give John Harbaugh a 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:50.880 lot of credit for this hire that he made to 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.800 replay McDonald, Don Wink, Martindale. Harbor has been really good 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.040 at hires in general. I would say that's one of 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.760 his strengths as a coach. And if anyone can make 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.440 Jared Goff hold the ball a little longer and can 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.920 cook him up with some pressures, I think it's Mike 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.320 McDonald in this Ravens defense. Now, they do have some injuries. 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.800 Marcus Williams we saw go right past us in London 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.840 with that hamstring injury. I don't think he's gonna play 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.160 in this game. They don't have a great pass rush, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.920 which is surprising for such a good defense, but they 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.080 do like to cook you up a little bit with 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:25.760 their pressure. 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:27.800 I think they use like their secondary and their pressure 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.120 a lot too. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.240 They have eleven different players with a sack that's no team, 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.480 No team can touch that. I you know, I think 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:37.040 though with Detroit with no David Montgomery, Jamiir Gibbs is 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.079 still banged up. It sounds like he could potentially play, 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.680 but even like Craig Reynolds, their number three guy, it 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:42.880 didn't practice on Wednesday. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:43.480 We'll see about I. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.440 Think it's a Jamiir Gibbs game. I think they're gonna 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:46.840 need some time for that. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.400 Yeah, and you know what, let's have a big Jamiir 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.520 Gibbs game because they drafted him to be an immediate 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.880 impact player and let's see if he's healthy enough to 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:54.200 do so. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:54.520 Yeah. 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.800 Almost talked about the top of the show. A lot 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.080 of quarterback injuries. Almost every team we're going to talk 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.400 about has a position group that's kind of under siege. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.400 For the Lions, it is that running back room with injuries. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.360 That's that is a good game, Greg, It's a great game. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.079 They're three point favorites, by the way, the Baltimore Ravens 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.720 in this game, and they need. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.520 That feels that seems like a little overly respectful, but. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.760 It's basically saying two even ish teams. I think that's 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.920 that's right. But you Baltimore feels like, let's pick it. Yeah, 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:23.319 let's pick it. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.560 I like the Lions. I'm taking Baltimore. 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.040 Yeah, I like Detroit. I think Ravens and we were 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.520 we saw it up close in London. They're red zone 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.640 issues that jump out to me. And I think the 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.440 Lions are going to continue to move the ball and 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.680 put up points. Are the Ravens or the Ravens able 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.840 to do that and match them? If this game starts 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.720 turning into maybe not a shootout, but gets into the twenties. 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.160 I came really close to locking the Lions. I think 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.280 that this is the reason all this game is. I 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.319 don't remember a time in my life when Detroit Baltimore 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.160 was something that was a source of intrigue for me, 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:54.880 and it's completely that. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.599 It's very intriguing. I don't want to beat a you know, 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.880 the same drum every week. But man, we just need 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.520 Bateman in Beckham to make plays for them, because I 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.040 think that's where the mismatch could be. Detroit's been sneaky, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.719 very banged up in their secondary and they should be 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.120 able to win some of those one on ones on 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:11.400 the outside, but they haven't. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.400 That was the game of the Week presented by Draft 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.800 King sports Book.

This is an easy one. 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.079 I believe this could have easily been the first overall pick. 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.559 The Los Angeles Chargers traveling to Arrowhead to face the 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.319 Kansas City Chiefs. Chiefs are laying five and a half 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.240 points here. By the way, the over under that Lion's 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:48.360 Ravens game forty three. That feels alright to me forty 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:53.440 three here it's forty eight. And we talked about it 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.760 on the show Wednesday. Mikole Hardman joins the Chiefs or 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.319 rejoins the Chiefs in a trade from the Jets. You 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.440 assume this is a guy that is going to be 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.960 able to join the fray and be a part of 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.240 this offense rather quickly. And while he is not a 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.720 difference maker, he was a real piece of that team 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.720 when he was there, and they need somebody. I think 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.560 that's the thing that's gonna jump out to me here, 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.720 and we can get into the Charger side of it, 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.680 and how much Herbert struggled on Monday night and the 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.679 disappointment of that game. But the Chiefs, for me, one 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.680 of the biggest stories in the league is in the 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.839 second half of the regular season, because Kansas City is 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.680 gonna be alright, They're going to go thirteen and four, 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.920 twelve and five or fourteen and three, and they're gonna 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.280 be there. But are they going to be able to 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.800 identify either on the roster now or at the trade deadline, 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.120 that missing piece on their offense, and in a game 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.840 with against an elite passer like Herbert, will they be 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.200 able to get into. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.880 A shootout and win if it comes to that. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.839 I think they're not ready for that now. But I 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.840 think this is a perfect test because we've just seen 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.160 this matchup so many times in the Brank's Daily era, 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.040 and so we know what a Chief's offense looks like 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.960 against this Chargers defense. And I know the Chargers defense 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.960 came out of the by with a relatively promising performance 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.600 against Dallas, couldn't get the stops when they really needed it, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.880 and you took a fourth down stop early in the 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.640 game that took some points off the board. And I 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.320 hesitate to say that, like, ooh, the Chargers defense is 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.280 really making some big improvements. The old Chargers Chiefs offense 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.120 rather Dan like, would get thirty two points in this 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.960 matchup every single time, every single time. And so if 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.240 they are stuck in a low scoring game, and I 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.640 kind of expect they will be, then we know it's 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.640 absolutely different. They're gonna have to start taking some guys 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.920 out of the lineup, whether it's Val the Scantling or 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:45.400 sky Moore. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.360 Someone's got to get taken out. Yeah, I don't. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.640 I think Dan yesterday thought, well, Michael Hardman, fine, but 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.960 like you kind of would want the Chiefs to go 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.319 source and find someone a little bit more juicy, and 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:57.280 they didn't do that. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.560 I don't. The trade to me feels but they do. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.600 But that this is not going to solve their problems. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:03.280 I'm four. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.559 This is their defense. I mean, that's like the Chiefs defense, 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.640 which is, you know, second fewest yards per game, and 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:12.480 like there's just consistency. They've had the same coaching staff 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.880 there for so long, and like they've got nine they've 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.960 been given nine days rest off to that kind of 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.360 wacky game against the Broncos, right, I kind of felt 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.880 like the Chiefs were just sort of screwing around during 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.200 part of that game, just sort of throwing things at 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:25.000 the no. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.480 I think they were, I hear what you're saying. They 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.720 throw a lot of trick plays and all that stuff. 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.080 But it's kind of like because their normal stuff doesn't work. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.280 Well, they are working through that. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.439 But it's like, I think their defense is one of 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.959 the reasons they're allowed to do that without getting caught 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.000 into tight losses. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.160 You mentioned the rest tough break here for the Chargers. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.920 I mean, this is a legitimate gripe that the Chiefs 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:46.560 get five extra days rest. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.880 In the in the biggest road division games, in these. 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.520 Two teams especially right, Yeah, there are some insane stat 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:54.240 about that that. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.079 Let's see. Let me see if I can find it. 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:58.680 It is. 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.520 Andy Reid with four plus days of rest advantage as 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.760 head coach in his career twenty seven and three. 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.440 That just makes me like, imagine him like taking long, 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:09.640 comfortable naps. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.640 And some of this is he's had great head coach 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.160 and has had great teams, but plus thirty three turnover 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:18.760 differential average final score essentially twenty six to sixteen. And yeah, 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.080 so LA's against it a little bit right now, Greg, 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.240 What did you take from the Herbert performance on Monday night? 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.880 I thought people got a little carried away wanting to 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.920 like show hey for once, it was justin Herbert's fault. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.520 I thought he played a pretty good three quarters. Certainly 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.960 didn't end that game well really, I thought he missed 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.880 a lot of threat. He missed plenty of throws, but 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.560 he made plenty of throws too. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:43.160 I don't know like. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.080 Why the glove, on the offhand would make that big 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.520 of a difference inaccuracy. I'm not smart enough to know that, 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.080 so I don't really that doesn't make sense to me 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:55.160 as the reason why. 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.720 Who's saying that? Well, just like that. 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.280 That his performance was so odd off accuracy wise, and 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.560 for the first time, he's playing with this broken finger 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.840 and he's wearing a glove, which he he absolutely never does. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.960 It doesn't seem like that's the reason why, because he 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.560 also made a lot of really good throws in that game. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.040 The thing that is Herbert's superpower, though, I think makes 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.080 them look worse in games like that, which is like 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.960 he refuses to take a sack. So in a game 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.000 where he was heated up, he was pressured on almost 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.240 fifty percent of his passes. That's the most in any 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.800 Chargers game this year. It's like that would lead the 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.400 league by far if that was consistent. You know, getting 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.200 pressured that much, he just gets rid of the ball 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.720 and so he's having to make quick decisions. He refuses 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.000 to take a sack, and it led to a lot 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.040 of bad throws, but they were also as you mentioned, 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.800 just like four or five throws he missed. 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.119 Ones that usually. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.920 So that was I would imagine he was very frustrated 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:45.880 with his performance there. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.400 I give this Chiefs linebacker group a lot of credit. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:51.200 I really like them. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.760 Nick Bolton, Drew Tranquil when he's out there, Willie Gate like, 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.880 I think that's been a little bit of their secret sauce. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.000 They're pretty good at every level of their defense. You 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.520 mentioned the stats like they were legit top ten defense. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.640 So this is a different Chiefs defense than the charge. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.120 Those guys have been. They generate big takeaway right, Bolton 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.200 and Tranquiled, it's like God passing downs. I really liked them. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.280 The other guy that's jumped out to me with the 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:12.720 Chiefs again, that's the offense. 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.000 And I'm really interested in here. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.360 Is Isaiah Pachenko. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:17.960 That's a tough name for me. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:22.920 Check he's been good and sat it right. He has 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.240 not been He has not been the problem for them. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.760 But again they need that. They need somebody else and 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.720 maybe you we'll see something this week. Khalil Mack, by 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.680 the way, has seven sacks this year. Really good. 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.000 Yeah, I know, I mean one. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.880 I went down that road with Shaq Barrett though that 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.880 one time, and I got, you know, totally fried with 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.080 my instant analysis on that situation. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.240 Your analysis being that he will that good? 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.800 Well, it was that all whenever you get these guys 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.080 that have this game where like suddenly you play at 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.520 a different, like human level, and then you I typically 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.480 think you end up like three sacks. 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.200 You thought he would be a bad free agent signing. No, 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:57.720 I believe it was your thing. And then he was 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.760 kind of the key to a Super Bowl champion. 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.280 That's tilting the accuracy completely. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.080 I believe he was seen as a key difference maker. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.320
