1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to the official Good Morning Football Podcast. 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm Will Selman. Here are the best moments from this 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: week so far at the Breakfast Table. With Week four 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: in the books, we're officially a quarter through the twenty 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: eighteen NFL season, so let's find out what the Breakfast 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Table thought about some of the biggest games from this week. 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Baltimore Ravens. You know, last week 8 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: I was talking about the Steelers and I said, with 9 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: everything going on, this is it. The Steelers are going 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: to go out there and self correct. An Tonio Brown 11 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: is going to be a monster. He's gonna dominate the game. 12 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: I was looking for him to put up two fifty 13 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: and they were gonna kind of walk off the field saying, Okay, 14 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: now we're on the right track. But it wasn't you know, 15 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: it's on the right track to Baltimore Ravens offensively, but 16 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: more importantly defensively. I hit up our superproducer researcher Matt 17 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: Hamilton's before the show and I said, hey, man, let 18 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: me know how many times they blitz because in my 19 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 1: mind watching the game, how much duress Big Ben was 20 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: under and how they were just swarming all over their 21 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: wide receivers and pass catchers. The Ravens had the blitz 22 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: eighty percent of time, he says, no, they're blitz rate 23 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: this season is twenty percent, which means one, when they 24 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: do blitz, they get home, but two, more importantly, the linebackers, 25 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: safeties and corners are going a tremendous job on the 26 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: back end. And then more importantly though, on third down. 27 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing that stood out to me is 28 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: when those big players was there for the Steelers to 29 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: have happened, twelve third downs, they only converted two of those, 30 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: so you're talking about twenty seven percent of the time. 31 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: They got them out in the second half and their building, 32 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,279 Speaker 1: they got busy defensively, and what have we talked about 33 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: all offseason? What have the Baltimore Ravens been doing over 34 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: the past couple of years building up their defense? Try 35 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: to remind us of those dominant Ravens defenses from the past. 36 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 1: You're on a historic pace on offense, the best start 37 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: to a season and the Flacco has ever had, averaging 38 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: over three hundred yards a game to start twenty eighteen. 39 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking at those Titans taking down the Super Bowl champs, 40 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: so they beat the Jags in Week three, and it 41 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: was kind of an ugly game. It was a low 42 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: scoring game. There's a lot of firepower in the league, 43 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: so it was a little bit glazed over. And people 44 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: on the team even noticed that Tiffany Blackman sent out 45 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: this tweet just last night if we can take a 46 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: look about Taylor Luan saying, I appreciate how candid he is. 47 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: He told me people got to start realizing there are 48 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: thirty teams in this league, not just thirty one. The 49 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: Titans don't get any credit. We just beat the Jags 50 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: and the defending Super Bowl chancel. I'd appreciate a little 51 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: love for the boys. Well, here's some love for the 52 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: guys who drink beer out of fish down at Nashville 53 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: Plugs game. It is three and one is the record. Now, 54 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: it's not always pretty. This team is absolutely relentless. They 55 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: do not let up, and then somehow they've taken down 56 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: these two Juggernauts week to week. You got to love 57 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: teams that can beat you in different ways, not just 58 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: through the air, not just on the ground, not just defensively. Listen, 59 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: it was our defense that before Worlds in Jacksonville Week three, 60 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: This week a little bit more a complete team. The 61 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: defense brought it on our Landry with a ridiculous strip sack. 62 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: We'll get to that later this week. Bayard was a monster, 63 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: but it's all about the offense and week for Corey 64 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: Davis broke out for a buck sixty one and a touchdown. 65 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: He's got the size, he's got the speed. He's a 66 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: big play problem for defenses and he could just like 67 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: he said in the Highlight Lab. But up, go get it, 68 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: go get a Corey Davis, and he wins in contested situations. 69 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: They need him to step up. Without Delaney Walker, Richard 70 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: Matthews doesn't want to be there, is not getting the target. 71 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Corey Davis, congratulations to you on stepping up and seizing 72 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: the moment. Also, they're all pro right tackle. Jack Conklin 73 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: is back and they've got Luan on the other side. 74 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: They can protect Mariota, who looked so much more productive 75 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: than he's looked in the vast It's cool they take 76 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: on the person out of their head coach. They yeah, 77 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: they won't lose. They's incredible. It's three good of head 78 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: coaches because we're gonna get into Vraibel and some of 79 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: those decisions which were awesome. I love the way they 80 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: played yesterday against the Eagles. They left it all out there. 81 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: M John Cruden hasn't won a game going into yesterday, 82 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: three thousand, five hundred ninety one days, and I know 83 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Browns fans at home are freaking out saying the Rev 84 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: stole that game. You were up eight with a minute 85 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: twenty left to go. Talk about us did not steal 86 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: that about The Raiders won that game. I know there 87 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: were a couple of controversial calls, but I'm looking at 88 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: this team. Jared Cook aged thirty one, having a huge game, 89 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: Marjan Lynch thirty two having a huge game, Jordy Nelson's 90 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: thirty three having a huge game. Reggie Nelson steals the 91 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: game at thirty five years old, and Brett musburgers on 92 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: the call at seventy nine years old. So this Raiders 93 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: team might not be as young and flashy as what 94 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: the Browns were bringing. This Raiders team yesterday was gritty, 95 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: They were fun, and they found a way on that 96 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: old baseball field. I mean, it is like we're watching 97 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: a team from the mid eighties and somehow they're fine. 98 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: I think a lot of these guys played in the 99 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: mid eight I think they did. Look, this is the 100 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: thinking about the Raiders, and I'm gonna just be quick 101 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: with it. They were winning Week one thirteen to ten, 102 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: they were winning Week two twelve to twelve, nothing, and 103 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: they're winning Week three ten, seven and a half time, 104 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: and they lost all those games. Raiders are a team 105 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: and they will be reckoned with and I love it 106 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: might be. This is what Musburgers said. They had just finished. Baby, 107 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: they finished. I'm telling you, Browns. I know the rests 108 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: were tough, but I'll tell you what. Next week, I'm 109 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: looking at the Raiders and especially to double back to 110 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: the Titans beating the Eagles. We did something in the 111 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: whole offseason. We were kneeling at the church of the NFC. 112 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: We had this idea where the NFC vers the AFC 113 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: is like the NBA West versus the East, or SNL 114 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: versus Mad TV, or like the Captain Crunch versus the 115 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: Colonel Crackle. On the bottom self, let me tell you something, 116 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: the FC ain't belief and messing around about the team 117 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: that you want to play this weekend. Just of these teams, 118 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: who are You're like, oh, thank god we're playing them? 119 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: Is it the Chiefs, the Patriots, the Jaguars, the Bengals, 120 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: the Titans, the Ravens, the Broncos. Tonight, the AFC is loaded, 121 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: and I know, Peter for fact, I know that you 122 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: hate the FC. You're extremely Peter, you work for Fox. 123 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: You're hate the FC, and it's a fact you're objectively 124 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: against that. I'm here to tell you though, that they're fantastic. 125 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: I would take right now. The FC, I think is 126 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: better than the NC. Can take your rams. Who's your champion? 127 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: You can have your rams. Who else you got? I 128 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: will run in the ring with the a FC. I 129 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: know you hate it, Peters hate. I know you hate 130 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: talking about how much you hate it. But I'm gonna 131 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: go home. You love my homes. But Peter, like you're 132 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 1: I'll go a FC. That AC game on Fox, Raiders, 133 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: Brown on the Browns Wild, AFC. They're loaded. Well, what 134 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: is your big takeaway, Kyle? I'm almost forty. K I'm 135 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: supposed to I'm supposed to be good at learning from 136 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: my mistakes. At this point, it's a life skill. I'm 137 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: still so bad at it. The Dolphins were my lock 138 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: of the week. I just had a feeling they're better 139 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 1: than the page this is the year they got destroyed. 140 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: And this weekend I'll shock you guys.

They're either. We drive up 144 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: to poke Quag, New York. Poke Quag.

They want to go home, and 156 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm left with the expensive bag with nothing.

There. 171 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't care if Gronk is hurt. I don't care 172 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: what Brady and Belichick are out there. They are going 173 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: to the AFC title game. I am saying this October first, 174 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: no matter what happens. Any guys, if I renag on this, 175 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: if I start saying that I don't know, electric shock me, 176 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: do anything you want, kick me. I am not going 177 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: to give up on them. They are my apple bag 178 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: and getting a small one Patriots title game. That's it. 179 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: That's it. Mayfield Donald Allen Rosen all took losses in 180 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: Week four from Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen. You know 181 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: it was their first impressions. They're welcome to the NFL 182 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: on the starting quarterback level. But what or have stuck 183 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: out to you guys his QBS. I feel cheated. I 184 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: thought Josh Rosen should have had his Josh Rosen moment 185 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: and he didn't get the opportunity to have it. I 186 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: feel like Mike McCoy and Steve Wilkes took the ball 187 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: out of the kid's hands when he was playing so 188 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: well on that fourth three he saw the completion that 189 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: Ricky seals Jones. Well, third and six, they're driving, and 190 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: here's the play call that the Cardinals call. Rosen is 191 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: lighted up third and six late, all right, what do 192 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: we got here? Third and six? Go to Fitzgerald, go 193 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: to Christian Kirk. Let's go. We're on the twenty nine. 194 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do? And the play call is 195 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: this handoff up the guts, set up the field goal 196 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: and the next play. What happens with Russell Wilson waiting 197 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: on the sidelines, what is the next play? Phil Dawson 198 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: comes out and you cannot rely on your kicker when 199 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: your quarterback is playing like this. He comes out of 200 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: I don't usually question play calling. I just hated that 201 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: let Rosen try to make a play on third and six. 202 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: I was to try to get it. That was it 203 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: Roussell Wilson comes out and make a couple conversions of faster. 204 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: Janet Cats gets a fifty two winners. I think that 205 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: could have been his Baker Mayfield moment at home there three, 206 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: they took the ball out of his hands. They did 207 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: the very safe thing, hand the ball off. I wouldn't 208 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: like to see Josh Brosen giving a shot to win it. 209 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: So I thought Rosen played great. It's lost in the headlines. 210 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: He should have had an opportunity he didn't. That's rowing four. 211 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: And speaking of moments, I'm looking at Baker Mayfield. Last 212 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: week he had his moment and it was one hell 213 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: of a moment. It seems like dis young Feller found 214 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: himself and then now he gets that first official start. 215 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: And the moment was with the Raiders. And as much 216 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: as we criticize the Raiders for what they weren't doing 217 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: this season, they showed this rookie that hey, you're just 218 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: a rookie. They had created four turnovers and he had 219 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 1: some great plays. I mean you're looking at rope, at 220 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: the rope, at the rope. I mean it started with 221 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: that pick six early in the game with drop ball 222 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: by Callaway, but he came back and made some plays. 223 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: So for me, it's looking at Baker Mayfield attached to 224 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: that Raiders defense who basically humbled him a little bit 225 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: and saying okay, rhythm is one thing, momentum is another thing. 226 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: But going up against a defense who makes a rookie 227 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: look like a rookie, that's gonna show you what this 228 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: league is about. So looking at Baker now, you're handling 229 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: your first bit of adversity. How are you gonna bounce 230 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: back this upcoming week? And what are you gonna show 231 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: us going into Weekfronds look fun with huh? They do 232 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: so fun? You know. The biggest thing inexplicably not our generation, 233 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: but is watching other people play video games. That's huge. 234 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: Watching Baker feels like watching someone play Madden. I really 235 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: mean that, because he always wants the big play, and man, 236 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: you don't check it down, you don't dump it off, 237 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: you go up top. He threw a big interception in 238 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: overtime where he wanted at all, and it probably wasn't 239 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: the smartest play, but he just decided on leash it here. 240 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: It is, guys, is forty five forty two at the time, 241 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: and he tried to just win the game with one throw. 242 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: A couple throws, they probably get a field goal. He 243 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: went for it. And the other thing in Madden that 244 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: is also extremely arbitrary is the officiating. Sometimes they'll just 245 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: decide it's a holding penalty and call back and play. 246 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: It's a video game. Where did that come from? The 247 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: officiating in the essay was very arbitrary and game holding, 248 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: the spotting, the challenge was a huge fumble on Derek 249 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: Card that they invalidated out of nowhere. So I hate 250 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: referee radio, but if I'm pleaful on this morning, I'm furious. Guys. 251 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: Here's where we're sitting after Week four was the one 252 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: more game to go. Of course, the Bears, the Titans, 253 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: the Bengals, and the Dolphins all have the same record, 254 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: which these three and one teams has surprised you the most. 255 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: Wants to go first, I'll go all right. I'm trying 256 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: so hard this season to not judge anybody based on 257 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: prior work. I'm trying to judge them based on their 258 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen season the Patriots, and I got burned. I 259 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: said that based I think the Dogs are gonna be 260 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I'm trying so hard for the Bengals really 261 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: because they look good. But it's just my entire adult life. 262 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: There's also been a yeah butt with the Bengals. Like 263 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: I think if you set up one of those shops 264 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: in the mall and you had people come by to 265 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: a blind taste test and they tasted the Bengals, they'd 266 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: be like, Wow, this is really good, and they'd be like, yeah, 267 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: it's the Bengals. Like the Bengals, come on now. They 268 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: never get it done. Trying to be constructive here. If 269 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 1: you base the Bengals, I don't care Marvin Lewis that 270 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: or anything. John kitten A, Carson Palmer, all those guys. 271 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: This Bengals team. Awesome win against the Ravens, awesome win 272 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: this week. I think they're really good and I like 273 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: the way they played defense, and they still have the 274 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: whole mixing factor who's out. So the twenty eighteen Kyle 275 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: Brand deal is trying to judge people based on the 276 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: last month alone, not the last fifteen years. The Bengals 277 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: are fantastic and I'm glad to see it. All right, 278 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: I'll jump right in and I'll continue that food theme. 279 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Chicago and they're known for food there. 280 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: And for me, I shop in Volk. You know, I 281 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: got three kids, got the wife at home, so we 282 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: go to the major, big produced stores, and we love 283 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: samples because it's the only way that you can get 284 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: something identify with the food before you buy it. And 285 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: looking at the Chicago Bears last year, I never want 286 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: to buy. I just never want to buy. I looked 287 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: at it and I was like, no, I've heard good 288 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: things about the product. I don't like the brand. I'm good, 289 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: it's just too much of investment. I'll buy something else. 290 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: And then you look at the offense last year. I mean, 291 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: there was a game where Mitchell Dubisky, I believe you 292 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 1: completed it four passes? Was it? If I'm not mistaken. 293 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: But then you hear about the same brand this season 294 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: and they add certain ingredients and they're like, it's it's better. 295 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: We're different. Now, we're different and you know, we're healthier 296 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: and it's it has more flavor, and I'm like, really, yeah, 297 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: we added Allen Robinson and Turbo Taylor Gabe Roll and 298 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: Trey Burton. I'm like, really, okay, you know what A 299 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: three Cohen has gotten better, and Jordan Harrod's gotten better, 300 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: Mitchell Dubisky is starting to get it, and I'm like what, 301 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: And then we added the best season in ball Kalo 302 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: Mack on defense and this really, I'm telling you have 303 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: to try this product. So even this year, I have reservations. 304 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: I've walked around and I grabbed that step on that 305 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. She's like, do you want to buy none? 306 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: I'm good, we gonna take another lap. I'm gonna go 307 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: buy some grandmother in the shower, yeah, with the shower cap. 308 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: And then I come back and I try to change 309 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: my face like you know, I'm gonna get another one, 310 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: and y'all I lead, like, you know what, let me 311 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: think about it again. Then I come back and I'm like, 312 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 1: can not giving me one mo ship. We're not that 313 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: with me? And were my cousin here you go right, 314 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: and she's like yeah, and now you know what, I'm 315 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: buying it. Okay, I'm buying it. I don't know if 316 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: I'm a buiding in boat and say that they're gonna 317 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: make it to the postseason. They're gonna contend for a 318 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl title. But I do love what Chicago Bears 319 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: doing because for the first time I saw every piece 320 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: that they brought in in this Matt Naggie offense mesh 321 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: and it reminded me of what they're doing in LA 322 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: with the Rams, reminding me of what they're doing in Casey. 323 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: Of course Casey with the Chiefs. What they're doing with 324 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: the surrounding pieces doesn't surprising. What surprises me that it's 325 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: happening so quickly with a guy like Matt Naggie in 326 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: your first year as a head coach. My expectations are 327 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: always sort of tempered, you said. Malarkey obviously took them 328 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. I'm talking Titans now. Ray Bowl has 329 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: impressing me so far. I mean, he's coming off back 330 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: to back huge wins. I'm not going to say it. 331 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: It's surprising. They have the weapons. Dion Lewis obviously a factor, 332 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: but their defense tops six in the league, sixth best. 333 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: But you look at their offense, they have the third 334 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: lowest ranked offense going into Week four. It is very 335 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: surprising for in this landscape where you're talking Rams, you're 336 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: talking Naggie, You're talking everything that everybody's doing explosively on 337 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: offense at a team that's sort of letting their defense 338 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: carry them. To this point is three and one. So 339 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: now you have Mariota throwing for close to three hundred 340 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: and fifty yards two touchdowns. He doesn't have them in 341 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: the yard since weeken nine of his rookie year. You 342 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: guys Corey Davis Taywan Taylor with a huge fourth down 343 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: conversion that we've been glowing about all day to sort 344 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: of match that defense. I feel like this is a 345 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: team that can beat other teams, not pretty, not explosive, 346 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: but in a lot of different ways, which is in 347 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: its own way more dangerous. I'm gonna double down with 348 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: k on this one. I think the Titans are doing 349 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: something now that you know, those back to back win 350 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: are over the Eagles and the Jaguars. Those are contenders. 351 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: These are not fluff games, and they both had to 352 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: come and face adversity to do it. And what I 353 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: love about the Titans is that they're playing with this 354 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: aggressive nature I talked about earlier in the show. But 355 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: they went for it on fourth down four to two. 356 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: They've gone for it on fourth down seven different times. 357 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: Through just four weeks. Rabols kind of like rolling the 358 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: dice a little bit, knowing that the Jaguars are this 359 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: dominant defense. We've already beaten them. You know, the Eagles 360 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: that were down fourteen points late, we can beat them. 361 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: The sky is the limit. And I know Mariota's not 362 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: your fantasy quarterback. And I know Mariota's not gonna win MVP, 363 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: and I know Mariota's not gonna light up the sky. 364 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: Mariota wins like he wins. He gets the job. He 365 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: won in Casey in a playoff game, and he won yesterday. 366 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: I tell you what. The Titans, I didn't necessarily think 367 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: they were going to be one of these AFC contenders 368 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: after changing coaches. They look awesome. They can win the 369 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: AFC this season. I'm with KB on this one. Oh oh, 370 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: I didn't have to go apple picking to reach the conclusion. 371 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: Love them or hate them, no matter how you feel, 372 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots are always in the mix for a Super 373 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: Bowl title. Well, they say to learn is to live, 374 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: So let's live it up with what the Breakfast Crew 375 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: learned after Week four. Kyle Batton leadoff, it hasn't happened, 376 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: Betty Claxton I'm gonna get on base. I learned this 377 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: week that we have one of the great young talents 378 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position that I'm so excited about. And 379 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Mahomes or golf or when Sir 380 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: Trubisky talking about Josh Rosen. I am so excited about 381 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: the Josh Rosen experience because we know he can spin it. 382 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: We know he can throw the ball, and he had 383 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: to throw this last weekend, even in a loss. That 384 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: just blew all the dark room guys away. This thing 385 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: right here. You say, throw receivers open. I don't know 386 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: if a lot of starting quarterbacks in this league could 387 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: make that throw them in the league ten years. That 388 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: is a perfect pass. And there's a lot of people 389 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth, Kurt Warner, Trent Dilfer can tell you all 390 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: about the release point and the accuracy and all those 391 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: great quarterback mechanics that they're way more qualified to talk 392 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: about than me. There's something around the draft in the 393 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: combine when you do hashtag arm talent, we know he 394 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: has the armed talent. I can tell you, my friends 395 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: about the fact that Josh Rosen has incredible generational face talents. 396 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: He has incredibly talented from the chin up. And I'm 397 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: so excited for this because we're gonna be watching this 398 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: guy for a long time, and whether they win or lose, 399 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: there's some quarterbacks that will always entertain show what I'm 400 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: talking about, Show with Josh Rosen And just this brief 401 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: sample size I hears on the sideline just a big 402 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: old grizzly bearr yawn, which I respected because I said, 403 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: again he was a bad party, but the DJ wasn't 404 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: good and none of his friends were scoring. And he's young, 405 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: and that's what people that they age do. They yawn. 406 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: That's fine. After in challenge, that's all right. You got 407 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: to challenge him. Now, this was after a game in 408 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: an interception he does that little click shoulder thing, which 409 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: is a little like the Jalen Ramsey. But that told 410 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: me it doesn't bother him. And then last week he's 411 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: never in a plane face, he's never just sitting there. 412 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: He's always reacting, whether he's challenged or challenging somebody else. 413 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: I want someone who can entertain me. Maybe a lot 414 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: of people in this country do not have a huge 415 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: vested interest in the Arizona Cardinals. That could be, but 416 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: you gotta vested interest in entertainment, my friends, and I 417 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: am already ready to put Josh Rosen up I'm not. 418 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: I know, I don't want to get ahead of myself. 419 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: He's got face talent that could be with some of 420 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: the absolute No, let me show you what the League 421 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: of Extraordinary faces. Put them up there. Let's see what 422 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: we got. These are the goats. Now you're gonna go, 423 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: Philly Rive is the human Team America puppet Eli didn't 424 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: even try, and he does it. It's two times Super 425 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: Bowl champ Colors probably go, color, probably go. And then 426 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: Rosen is really showing me something early that on the right, 427 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: that's a one fifty eight point three face right there 428 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: all day long. Because again, if I'm sitting there and 429 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: it's a slow Sunday and maybe the highlights aren't coming, 430 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: if you show me a Rosen's face sideline huddle, postgame pregame, 431 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: I'm entertained. The Cardinals chose that for the face of 432 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: their franchise. That is the face of my flat screen 433 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: for the next ten to fifteen years. Josh Rosen incredible 434 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: face talent. I think the arm talent like that has 435 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: no name in the Hall of Faces. That's great. We 436 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: need to put them there, the many faced gods waiting 437 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: for you to do it. It's been too long since 438 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: game with Rone. I'm rusty as hell. That's the many 439 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: faced God is Josh Rosen. Thank you God. I love it. 440 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: What I learned is that Alvin Kamara deserves to be 441 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: in the best running back in the NFL conversation because 442 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: he is watching the throne and he wants the crown. 443 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: And since his name is Alvin, what I'm gonna do 444 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: is give you three quote three quotes by Alvin's that 445 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: I know to hell illustrate just how good he is. 446 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: All right. First off, fictional character Alvin Mack from the 447 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: program We All Love Him Right. He once said, all 448 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: you need to know is how to sign an NFL contract, period. Listen, 449 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, he did just that and within his first 450 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: two seasons demonstrated a high football like you by grasping 451 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: the playbook cover to cover, silencing the whispers of those 452 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: who doubt it that he can be a three down 453 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: back by doing more than just running the ball. Now, 454 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: speaking of doing more, the second Alvin that I know 455 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: is my oldest brother, Alvin the second Alvin Junior most 456 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: people know him by he once told me when I 457 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: was drafted, change the game and leave your mark. In 458 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: that quote, it reminds me some of the Hall of 459 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: Fame game changers at that position, Jim Browne. Jim Brown 460 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: was the first to combine pure power, talking about outsolute 461 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: power as you're seeing right now in lightning speed as 462 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: he runs away from defenders, Barry Sanders displayed agility and quickness. 463 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean in the most graceful Marshall fault that he 464 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: revolutionized the position by catching out of the backfield. Really 465 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: better than most white out you would watch it at 466 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: that time, nobody was better at that now. I know, 467 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: I know you're saying that Alvin is too young to 468 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: compare to the greats, but you aren't paying attention if 469 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: you don't see the fact that he's walking in their footsteps, 470 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: proving that having a true hybrid running back slash receiver 471 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: is harder to find than your keys before rushing out 472 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: the door. Now, speaking of keys, the last album is 473 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: my father who gave me a key that I'll never 474 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: forget it and constantly reminds me that the key to 475 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: success is just simply being the best. And whether you 476 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: thought last year Levion Bill was the best back in 477 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: the league, or like me, Tod Gurley is the best 478 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: back this season. Statistically, you have to respect Alvin, who 479 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: tops all running backs and receiving yards and catches. Plus 480 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: he's the league leader in total yards in touchdowns. So 481 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: until he is deep wrong, I refer to him not 482 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: as Alvin but as King Kamera. So that right there 483 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: is what I learned. Alba Camera, my brother, I see you, 484 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: all right. So what I learned is that, listen, there's 485 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: a long, storied history of post victory celebrations, everything from 486 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: I don't know, your standard dance party or your standard 487 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, just a game ball eating the turkey 488 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: on NBC. All of that. There's Brady, you know, just 489 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: the standard Champagne's shower post World Series. It's not those 490 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: goggles on that you wore in you know, chemistry in 491 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,959 Speaker 1: seventh grade. Dave Brown getting Jim and the Gatorade shower. 492 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: We get all of these. But what I learned after 493 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: four weeks of the twenty eighteen season is that the 494 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears win at winning.

And that's where 537 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football comes in. Let's find out the stories 538 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: we should have been paying attention to with this week's 539 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: Underappreciated storylines. Yeah, we show the supers ours and the 540 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: playmakers where we like to carve out some time to 541 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: share storylines around the league that aren't getting enough love. 542 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: We dig deep for these ones. We call them our 543 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: underappreciated story Yeah, dug deep for this one. So I'll 544 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: kind of the sting off. Let's get this thing going. 545 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: So minder appreciated story this week, it's about blocking. Now. 546 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: We all love a good big old boy blocking, right, 547 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: and I'm probably watched this Andrew Wittworth two for one 548 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: special about a thousand times already checked us out Boo 549 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: boo boom, knocking them down like bowling pins. But blocking 550 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: isn't always left for the guys on the line. Sometimes 551 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: a quarterback, a running back, or a wide receiver lays 552 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: down the block that reminds us of the universal truth 553 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,959 Speaker 1: about football players. Just like Olivia Newton John, we just 554 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: want to give physically.

Patrick Mahomes is not under Okay, thank guys, 596 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: he's taken over the league. However, there is one aspect 597 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: of him that is, and I'll put this in the 598 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: parlance of Kansas City's terms, we not find out to 599 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: come to find out, he has not only Bret Saberhagen, 600 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: he's also Larry Girl. What I mean is he can 601 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: go right and left. We all saw the left handed 602 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: pass that he did the other night, and we reveled 603 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: about it and how cool it is and everything. But 604 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: I don't think we understand how hard that is. Now. 605 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: Someone who maybe hates the Chiefs or as tired of 606 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: Mahomes might say that big deal. I used to do 607 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: a little switch hitting in high school. I still do 608 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: the left handed layups in my rec league on Tuesday nights. 609 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: You can ball up my socks left handed into the hamper. 610 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: And ain't that my friend? It is very difficult. And 611 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: to prove to you guys how difficult it is, would 612 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: you like to come on a journey with other quarterbacks 613 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: try to get pack Mahomes did. Okay, let's go to 614 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen guys who decided to throw it with her 615 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: off hand. Teddy Bridgewater out there against the Packers of 616 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: lambau Field, Teddy, don't do it, left handed throw and 617 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: terrible intercepted over the middle of the field. Not even close. Guys, 618 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: we got crazy and we might as well have ed 619 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 1: McMahon and to Clark doing the bloopers and practical jokes. 620 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: Left handed throw. Terrible idea by Teddy Bridgewater. There was 621 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: a very good quarterback too, but he ain't the only one. 622 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, my home is getting chased by 623 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: von Miller in the clip. Let's go to twenty fourteen. 624 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: Jay Cutler, Jay, what are you gonna do? He throws it. Guys, 625 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: this ball hit the ref in the in the Crutchel region, 626 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: right over the middle. Cutler, who's made every throw the 627 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: Crossler region, actually hits the round blink right in the middle. 628 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: Terrible decision. Let's go to twenty ten. Eli Manning has 629 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: two Super Bowl rings. He's in the red zone. He's 630 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: at the goal line. Eli, don't do it. Don't do 631 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: it an a lot, He's got to find Kevin Boss 632 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: intercept in terrible play. I get when Boss is waiting 633 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: for the ball in the end zone, you try to 634 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: get it to him. We look at Hi, I look 635 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: at the face. Talent on him. I said this yesterday 636 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: about Josh Rosen close to the left hand in the rush. 637 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: Just an absolutely awful play by Elis ben Hills. Is 638 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: it fantastic? Well, I present you a grand finale two 639 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: thousand and two Gusts for rot Bengals. Gonna try to 640 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: make a play just like Mahomes. No, I've intercepted by 641 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: a Browns d lineman. Terrible, terrible play, guys, it's really 642 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: the cardinal sin. I tried to find guys to do 643 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: it successfully. These are the ones that come up. And 644 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes not only did it with one of the 645 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: scariest men in football chasing him, he found Tyreek, he 646 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: found it in stride and they moved the chains. So 647 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: what have we learned that's under appreciate about Patrick Mahomes. 648 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: He is a marketer's dream. He is going to be 649 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: a superstar because he's young, he's cool Middle America and 650 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: come to find out, he works with the right and 651 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: the list. That's it. Taken over the league. Guys, Patrick Mahomes, 652 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: we found something underappreciated, left handed throat. What else do 653 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: you need to see him? Do? I want to see? You? 654 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: Know what? I have not seen the big big bomb 655 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: in a regular season game. I want to see the 656 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: set in the yarder he did in the preseason. I 657 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: feel like he's been all these precision pastors. I want 658 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: the wants to hear the OA this week, Probably not 659 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: here what you got? Yeah, okay. Earl Thomas's middle finger 660 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks bench on Sunday men a lot of things. 661 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: Much of it is for another time in place, But 662 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: as I said on Monday's show, it also signified the 663 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: official end of one of the greatest units at any 664 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: position this league has ever seen. Though the writings been 665 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: on the wall the past two years, that middle finger 666 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: marked the end of the Legion of Boom. For the 667 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: first time since Pete Carroll and John Schneider took over 668 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. There will be no Richard Sherman, no Earl Thomas, 669 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: no Brandon Browner, no Camp Chancellor anywhere in sight on 670 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: Sunday when they take on the Rams. Before we move 671 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: on to the next set of Seattle defensive backs or 672 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: discussed Thomas's next team, I wanted to take just a 673 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: small minute here to just put into words, how good, 674 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: how fun, how awesome the Legion of Boom was. When 675 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: I started doing sideline reporting for Fox. The legion of 676 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: Boom was just kind of coming into its own, and 677 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: my god, were they have fun force to watch up close. 678 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: Sherman was always the talker, Earl was always the scud missile, 679 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: Cam was the leader, and Brandon Browner was this towering 680 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: cornerback with this wild CFL backstory that came to punish 681 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: the offensive players. They were as thick as thieves, these guys, 682 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: both on the field and off of it, and when 683 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: you were up close, they were a sight to behold. 684 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: I remember working a Thursday night game in Arizona and 685 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: right around the time they were truly kind of hitting 686 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: their stride and coming into their own, and Dion Sanders 687 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: was there strolling the sidelines as a correspondent for the 688 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: NFL Network. In between plays and an otherwise non competitive 689 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: blowout fourth quarter, Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman were shouting 690 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: to Primetime saying, come on, Prime, you see this, you're 691 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: watching us, You're watching this. They were calling out a legend, 692 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: and they had all that confidence and pravado then early 693 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: on in their career. I remember working a Monday night 694 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: football game in Washington, going to the locker room after 695 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: a dominant win and seeing that those four guys had 696 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: customized bathmats in front of each of their lockers, and 697 00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: the bathmats read LB in each of the defense of 698 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: backs and their own initials embroidered on through the bathmat. 699 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: These guys traveled with customized bathmatch. That is how good, 700 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: That is how confident they were. Yes, they talked, but 701 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: they backed it up. Among them, Among those four players, 702 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: they compiled six All Pro nods, fifteen Pro Bowls, two 703 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six regular season wins, forty postseason appearances, 704 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: and most importantly, four Super Bowl rings with the Seattle Seahawks. 705 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: We are in a twenty four to seven medium this 706 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: day and age. We are so quick to shut the door, 707 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: turn the page, talk about the next thing. I just 708 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: want to take a moment, just a moment, to honor 709 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: the legion of Boom because in this new offensive, pass 710 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: happy era of NFL football, we may never ever see 711 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: another group of defensive backs like them. That's so good man. 712 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: I'll tag briefly as a wide receiver. They were as 713 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: scary as scary gets. You respect one guy, but then 714 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: they have another guy stack the top, another guy on 715 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: another guy oftentimes look at them as like heavyweight fighters 716 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: because they talk like Muhammad Ali. They had the humility, 717 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, started with el Thomas like Lennox Lewis, but 718 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: they hit harder than Ticeon and that right there to 719 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: any wide receiver, I don't care how good you were, 720 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,479 Speaker 1: every time you played them, you had to worry about 721 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: all three things. So man, great job, bro. It was 722 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: a legendary pob. A lot of defenses have like a 723 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: good year. Good guy to mute was sa an Era. 724 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: How did they keep this defense going so dominantly for 725 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: so long that we might never see So we know 726 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: about the crab tree and the Sherman stuff, but all 727 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: four of those guys had their own kind of thing, 728 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: and Richard Sherman wasn't the only member. Four players all awesome, 729 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: dominant defensive backfield. I'm gonna talk about offense, give it 730 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: to us anopitiated storyline, because I want to talk about 731 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: Georgia to state that's given us some great things. Kyle Tyler, Perry, 732 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, two chains. I couldn't go on, but I 733 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: want to focus on the University of Georgia and the 734 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: incredible running backs that they've gifted us in the NFL 735 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 1: since pretty much the beginning of time. First, of course, 736 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 1: herschel Walker, Heisman winning, two time Pro Bowler over eight 737 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: thousand career rushing yards. Just feast your eyes on him. 738 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: He's a monster. Yeah. Then you've got Terrell Davis heard 739 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: of him. Yeah, he's a Hall of Famer, two Super 740 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: Bowl rings and a Super Bowl MVP for t D 741 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: now a friend of ours at NFL Network. And right 742 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: now in this current era, yes, we have Todd Gurley, 743 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: the reigning Offensive Player of the Year who's on his 744 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: way to another incredible, incredible season.

It's unbelievable to me. And 757 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: it's not just that they went to the same school. 758 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: These it's a romance for the ages.
