Speaker 1: Did a couple of live shows and now think they're faded?

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Now calm down. Welcome back to another edition to Be

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansus, and

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm joined in a room filled with heroes. Mark Sessler's back,

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: Chris Westling and Greg Rosenthal. Well, what is up, boys?

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: And that into hit a little too close to home?

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah cut a little bit um, Mark Sessler, Welcome back.

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Did the Browns come back victory over the Jets, which

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm still salty about. It is the only reason I

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: have yet to read your wonderful or what I'm told

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: long torn long form about the Cleveland Browns and your

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: life long fandom is because I'm not ready to touch

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: the Browns after Thursday. But forget about that. For you

22
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: that must have been life giving. Is that explain your

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: comeback after the blood clot issue on Sunday? It does

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: explain that they come back. The other is a change

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: in thinking. I think I've told you guys for years

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: that I had something of a fantasy where I hoped

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: I would get her into some sort of low level

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: accident or health issue that would put me into a

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: hospital for months. I could just read books. Uh, you know,

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: just take to put the foot on the brake a little.

31
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: And I have reversed my thinking. It was quite unenjoyable

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: and I much more enjoy doing this. Do you think

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: the big guy, the guy upstairs, uh was smiting you

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: a little bit there? Might it might have been given

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: me a little preview of my so called wishes and

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: saying you might not know everything. Well, it's good, It's

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: it's great to have you back. Mark. It wasn't the

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: same without you last week and being at full strength

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: and uh, here in Culver City for a Sunday of

40
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: NFL action. This is what we do best, and what

41
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: do we do you know what we do, Greg, everybody

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: knows what we do. Sundays we talk about fifteen games,

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: talk about fifteen football games in a row, straight through,

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: with a little bit of help from our friend downstairs,

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Nick Shook, who will be here in a little bit,

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: and we're going to go through the entire schedule of

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: games and close it out with a Sunday night affair

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: between the Detroit Lions and the Millingham Patriots. Uh, anything

49
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: else we have to get off the books before we

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: get into, uh, the flagship program. I was just gonna say,

51
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: as it turns out, agonizing pain is not a good

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: way to replace football. No, it is not. But I

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: will say, what look at this cardigan? Is this a

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: cardigan that West is wearing? They call it a cow

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: next sweater? It is some high There's just certain things

56
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: that's not wearing before he met his current fiance that

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: just have crept into wardrobe and some of them have

58
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: kind of that preppy look to it. I mean, it's

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: an interesting narrative, and it's surprised though it's not a

60
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: narrative because we we were given and we'll get into it.

61
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: One of a future sponsor offered us a chance to

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: purchase some clothing online. And I just went in and

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: ordered a hoodie and an incredible pair of mail underwear.

64
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: And what did West do? West said, I needed to

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: confer with the paramore before I make my purchase, Like

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: I don't, I just go by this funny West Bristles

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: had a lot of narratives, but this is the one

68
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: that I'm most surprised that really gets under his skin.

69
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: That somehow it doesn't really get under my skin. It's

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: just that it's only half true. Like a lot of

71
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: the clothing that I've bought, she's getting credit for. But

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: I will concede that my fashion um appears to have

73
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: increased for the better. It's evolving, Bristle, your narrative. That's

74
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: a common refrain from West East days. That was a

75
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: non apology apology. Why am I apologizing? All right, So

76
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through all the game for the Bills game.

77
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Why don't you? Why don't we start We'll get to

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the Bills game shortly, but why don't we start with

79
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: a great shootout of Week three? Line and Camara behind Breeze.

80
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: Breeze gonna try and dive over and he does, and

81
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: that's the ball game. That's it a decisive end the

82
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: call from w z g C West Durham put that

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: in the list for I mean, the shortlist for a

84
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: potential call of the year. It would be hard to

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: top it, I know, because Alvin Kamarath they thought he's scored,

86
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: so it was almost a matter of fact situation. But

87
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: economy of words, all right, guys, Drew Brees is one

88
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: yard run captain eighty r touchdown drive to open overtime,

89
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: lifting the New Orleans Saints to at seven win over

90
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: the Falcons greg This was a classic shootout between two

91
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: great talents at quarterback, potentially two Hall of famers at

92
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 1: least one. Matt Ryan threw five touchdown but the Saints

93
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: are the team that won that overtime coin toss and

94
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: they didn't look back. It is remarkable to see one

95
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: of the top quarterbacks in the league and Drew Brees

96
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: be paired with a top three running back, a top

97
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: three receiver and just see those three guys dominate together.

98
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: Breeze is so sharp in this game, and sometimes it

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: just comes up down to situations, and the Saints handled

100
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: uh the situation at the end of the first half

101
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: where they got three points and then at the end

102
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: of the game where they ended up getting one stop

103
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: on the Falcons better than Atlanta. Otherwise you couldn't find

104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: a stop in this game. But there was a third

105
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: down when Atlanta got the ball back with the game

106
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: tied latent regulation, and I think everyone watching the game

107
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: just figured Atlanta's gonna go down and kick the game

108
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: winning field goal. Tevin Coleman does not pick up the

109
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: blitz well, Matt Ryan gets furious at him. He had

110
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: an open receiver over the middle. And then the Saints

111
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 1: win the coin toss, and once they won the coin toss,

112
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: it felt like Super Bowl fifty one again, that's the

113
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: right number, right, and where I just was like, there's

114
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: no way the Falcons are getting to stop because the

115
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: Falcons defense is a mess without Kean Uneo, without Dion Jones.

116
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: For this game, they were without Tach McKinley, and then

117
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Ricardo Allen also suffered a serious injury. There was just

118
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: no way they were going to stop the Saints. I

119
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: actually felt that they were a little lucky even to

120
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: be in this game. This happens like somebody I bet

121
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: against the Saints, you bet they don't do that. Well, Yeah,

122
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: and let's not lock it up. Did not lock it up. Um,

123
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: this happens at least once a year where I feel

124
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: like it's time for everybody to understand how great Drew

125
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: Brees is. And he did set an NFL record today

126
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: He now has more completions than anyone and that's a

127
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of accounting stat, but it's a remarkable stat. And

128
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: then setting up this game and did a little research,

129
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has never won an m v P. He

130
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: might retire with every record in the book. This is

131
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: a forty year old quarterback that went toe to toe

132
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: again with Matt Ryan, who won the MVP a couple

133
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: of years ago. And one I just want to point

134
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: out one specific play. So he went over the top

135
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: to win the game. Didn't impress the Saint Saints radio network,

136
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: but I was impressed by that old man jumping over

137
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: the line like that. But it was the play that

138
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: tied the game. Uh thirty seven thirty Saints are down

139
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: about five and a half minutes to go and Drew

140
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: Brees is in the open field with two Falcons defenders converging,

141
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: does a spin move and gets in the end zone.

142
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say about it. After the game.

143
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: At some point I felt like they were coming to

144
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: try to take my head off and I could probably

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: spin out of this. And that was just a reaction. Um.

146
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: But I keep telling my flag football team that like,

147
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: spin moves are good, and they and then they're not

148
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: getting it. They're not believing me. So I'm glad that

149
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: happened because now I have video evidence to show them that, hey,

150
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: spin moves work. Spin moves are good. Drew Brees is

151
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: an obvious first ballot Hall of Famer, um, but this

152
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: isn't baseball. Nobody pays attention to counting stats and football

153
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: for a reason. You can't compare across eras he can't

154
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: compare with the Dome because it's like playing in Coors

155
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: Field as a base ball player, it's such a big

156
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: advantage for offensive stats. So Drew Brees doesn't need anyone

157
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: to say he's got these stats. He blongs in the hole.

158
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: He's going to the Hall of Fame regardless, right. He

159
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: and he's always been, unfortunately for him, the kind of

160
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: the third guy. He was the third behind Brady and Manning.

161
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: Now he's kind of been the third behind Brady and Rodgers.

162
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: When people think of the two, but he has been

163
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: so sharp. I really watching this game, even though Matt

164
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: Ryan's numbers are insane and he played well. He had

165
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: three seventy four yards and five touches. I just watched

166
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: it thinking like, Breeze is so much sharper, He's the

167
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: guy that you want. And then you look at some

168
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: of the stats for Thomas. Michael Thomas has thirty eight

169
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: catches on forty targets this year. Wow, I feel like

170
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: we're not talking to mouth about him, even though it's

171
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: he constantly gets highlighted in the statistical packages and stuff.

172
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: You called him a top three receiver. It felt like

173
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: it felt like a miracle. Any time that the Falcons

174
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: defense got the Saints the third down. It was one

175
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: of those games where like if it was an eight

176
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: yard game, that felt like a win for the Falcons defense.

177
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: And then Alvin Kamara, who we take for granted a

178
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: little bit now too, just because he's been around thirty

179
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: one touches in this game, a hundred and ninety five

180
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage, I was thinking, they need a little

181
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: more depth, but maybe you don't need that much more.

182
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: Ben Watson did step up for them today and that

183
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: made it that one quick thing. Seven touchdowns scored in

184
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: the second half and overtime. I come away concerned with

185
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: both defenses still. I mean especially Atlanta, who's been really,

186
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely ravaged right up the middle of their defense. Yeah,

187
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,359
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley was awesome for them, but I think the Falcons,

188
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: now with two losses to big NFC teams, have to

189
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: be a little worried because some of these guys aren't

190
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: coming back. Hopefully the Ricardo Allen injury isn't too serious.

191
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Let us move up seven. Mahomes in the pocket, peeling

192
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: away being rushed. Now peels back to his right, trying

193
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: to keep the play a lot pump baking fires late,

194
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: It's caught in the back of the end zone. Touchdown,

195
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,479
Speaker 1: Cansas City. Chris Connolly with the catch, but Patrick Mahomes

196
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: with mahomes magic. There you go, Holidays count on him.

197
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: One who on the box and the Chief's radio network superman.

198
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes finished with three hundred and fourteen yards and

199
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, including that brilliant scramble in connection with Chris Conley. Uh.

200
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: In the end, it was another big win for the Chiefs.

201
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: Final score thirty eight seven. That's as an NFL record,

202
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: by the way from Mahomes was thirteen touchdowns this season

203
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: in three games, no interceptions. Uh not all the quarterback

204
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: news was a good one, though Jimmy Garoppolo suffered the

205
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: left knee injury that the team fears as a toorn

206
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: a c l crushing Uh. Tough setback for the Niners

207
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: and another eye opening performance for the West for the Chiefs.

208
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: West sort of reminds me of the two South two

209
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: thousand seven Patriots in this way, as far as the

210
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: credit being so widely placed, you would hear you would

211
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: watched the two thousand seven Patriots, and some former lineman

212
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: would point out, this doesn't happen unless Brady's got all

213
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: day to throw. And then some would point out West

214
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: Welkers redefining this lot position. Someone would say, Josh McDaniels

215
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: is awesome as a play caller with the Chiefs. You

216
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: have all of these things. Tyreek Hill is in the

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: Randy Moss role. Mahomes is in the Rady roll, Andy

218
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: Reid's execution. There's so the Chiefs are facing busted coverage

219
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: on more plays than any team in the league. There

220
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: are running there are receivers running wide open throughout every

221
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: level of this defense. They haven't even had to establish

222
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: a ground attack in any game this year. He's throwing

223
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown to nine different receivers, which is a veteran

224
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: quarterback type of rapport with your targets. Three three weeks

225
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: and the record is it's incredible. And they just have

226
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: the vibe because the Chiefs are a team that you

227
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: do expect, through the Andy Reid era, to open strong

228
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: a lot of times and then they're gonna give you

229
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: what they give you on the second half of the season,

230
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: but that was with a different quarterback and a lot

231
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: of times with different weapons. This has the vibe of

232
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: a fifteen and one team that, well, well, you're you're challenging.

233
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Their defense might be terrible, but you've got a challenge.

234
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: Teams who got to figure out a way to to

235
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: stop this and last one guy or three other guys.

236
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: And last year they did find a way for a

237
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: while different quarterback. Right now, it feels like the Chiefs

238
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: are lining up with third team players versus you're eleven.

239
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: Right the play where Mahomes doubled back a few times

240
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: and then scrambled and kind of three quarter armed through

241
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: the touchdown early in the game. It's like, I don't

242
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: know if any other quarterback in the league and make

243
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: that play. Make certainly make that throw. Maybe Aaron Riders

244
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: can make the throw, but I don't know if he

245
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: even is nimble enough to get to that point. Uh,

246
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: it's just amazing to watch him. I want to point

247
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: out that he underthrew Tyreek Hill on what could have

248
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: been a long touchdown and overthrew DeMarcus Robinson on what

249
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: could have been a long touchdown. But then they scored

250
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns anyway. They scored off on all five of the

251
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: first hand positions for the first time in franchise history,

252
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: they scored touchdown and and through the first two weeks

253
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: he had touchdowns that were unscored based on drops and

254
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: stuff too. It's like, honestly, he could have his numbers

255
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: could be even higher. I mean, and then you flip

256
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: side it and the night it's two offseason narratives. One

257
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: where the Chiefs came in off all offseason you thought

258
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: it might be a little bit hot air, even though

259
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: you liked the idea of Patrick Mahomes, how much they

260
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: believed in him. And then it's paying Out and then

261
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: the Niners off season, which was a hype train flying

262
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: out of control, and now you've lost your quarterback, and

263
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: the really teams that can complain or the teams that

264
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: lose their starting quarterback because injuries happened everyone and now

265
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: your season is effectively over. The most frustrating thing about

266
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: it too, man and a torn a c l early

267
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: in the season. It's just terrible and you feel for Garoppolo.

268
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: James Palmer actually had video in the in the Tunnel

269
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: of Garoppolo being taken in the cart and meeting with

270
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: his family, and you just imagine how how crushing that

271
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: must have been. But it also happened on such an

272
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: unnecessary play where he's scrambling, gets out of the pocket,

273
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: picks up yardage. He could have stepped out, but instead,

274
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: almost inexplicably, he plants his left leg and tries to

275
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: cut up field to collide with the defender. Wasn't the

276
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: first time in the game he did, then it's one

277
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: he planted that leg that it went and uh, you know,

278
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: it's all part of the learning curve of a quarterback

279
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: and unfortunately for Jermy Garoppolo it's probably gonna cost him

280
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: the season. We don't know for sure, but Kyle Shanahan said,

281
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: the team fears it, uh and usually you could bummer

282
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: because kind of takes the forty nine ers out of

283
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: the teams that you want to watch each week. They're

284
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: gonna be in some primetime games. I was curious to

285
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: see how this was gonna go, because I think he struggled.

286
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: We talked about that the first couple of weeks. I

287
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: don't know how he looked, you know today, West or

288
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: what your takeaways where, but just to to lose him

289
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: at all, it's like they have no chance without him.

290
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: He didn't play as well as his numbers. He's still

291
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: holding the ball. He was still holding the ball too

292
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: long and doesn't didn't feel like he was trusting what

293
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: he was seeing. But after the Chiefs jumped out to

294
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: a big lead, he's he started to move the offense more. Um,

295
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: But you're right, he it's a small sample size thing,

296
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: and I think he's probably gonna be saved by the

297
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: numbers because after three games he's gonna have a ninety

298
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: pass iernian eight eight yards per attempt. The film doesn't

299
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: look quite that good, but I don't think it's gonna

300
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: be a narrative that he was terrible this year. How

301
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: many C C J. Bethord games are we gonna end

302
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: up watching? Who's their third string quarterback? I should know

303
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: this up top of my head, but this the answer

304
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: would be thirteen. You know, if he stays healthy. His

305
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: name is Nick Mullins. I mean no, but I mean,

306
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: is there a prime time how many howny times you're

307
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to watch this? By the way, there is

308
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: I did what immediately did flash in my mind as

309
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: a Jets fan. This was the case of not trading

310
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: teddy Bridge. I was gonna ask you that what would

311
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: have happened then? Could you have gotten He's not a

312
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: one year deal. It's not like you have to suddenly

313
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: have a butting heads at quarterback. It would have He

314
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: could have slid in right perfectly for the Niners. He's

315
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: on Monday Night football two times. They could flex him

316
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: out of his Sunday Night Football. He's on Thursday night

317
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: as well, so that's at least three. But you do have,

318
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, that membership down in the lab, and to

319
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: do that, you're gonna have to watch some Bethard next game.

320
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: There was a benefit for me here. They pictured al

321
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Albert will sit down, He's gonna call the distance, Albert

322
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: Wilson high five on a play call again a gay

323
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: old time. The w q A M Dobbins Radio network

324
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: get nervous, Mercury Morris, the Miami Dobbins cannot stop winning.

325
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: Albert Wilson through a fifty two yard touchdown pass on

326
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: a trick play and scored on a an even longer

327
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: touchdown on a catch and run, lifting the Dolphins over

328
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: the windless Nick Shuck is here. He's back, he's jacked,

329
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: he's happy about his Browns. There we go. Shook the

330
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins three and oh for just the third time in

331
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. And the Pats are on deck.

332
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: You buying in not yet uh one of the weirder

333
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: three and oh starts you. You have to wonder if

334
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: they'd be three and oh if they hadn't faced a

335
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: Jets team with Sam Donald, you know, making rookie mistakes

336
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: um here and there, and a Raiders team that cannot

337
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: finish a game. Three weeks now, they well, the Rams

338
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: game they got blown out in the fourth quarter. For

339
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: the last two weeks they have not been able to

340
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: hold onto the leads and finished games on the road.

341
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: And and it's starting to become a point of frustration

342
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: if you're Raiders fan, and and especially in this jet

343
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: comes on the same day they've blown a second half

344
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: lete and all three losses. And in the news this

345
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: morning was that there's some friction and inside the building

346
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: about gruden skuys versus maybe Reggie's guys. I feel like

347
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: we had that news story four or five months ago.

348
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: But that's right, none of this is surprising. But yeah,

349
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: this is oh and three. It's the worst case scenario, choke. Yeah,

350
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: but you know, there's a lot of season left. I

351
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: guess next week could get the Browns, so hey, maybe

352
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: the Readers get their first win or maybe not. I

353
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: mean on the Dolphins side though, uh, more of the

354
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: same when they got things going in the second half.

355
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: You know, they hit some struggles early, defensively letting Jordy

356
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: Nelson run wild, which I felt like we were in

357
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: a throwback about four or five years ago. And uh,

358
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: but offensively, you know, Tannehill two stills is still a thing. Uh.

359
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: You know, three connections today for sixty one yards, including

360
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: a thirty four yard touchdown pass, and the real hero

361
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: of the day was Juchem Grant had a couple of

362
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: touchdown receptions, including a touchdown pass from wide receiver Albert Wilson. Actually,

363
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: they could kind of compete for it because Bert had

364
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: his own touchdown reception later in the game to ice

365
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: it as well. That was the play that the announcers

366
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: are reacting to as if it was like Eddie Murphy

367
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: raw in they were all wearing red leather jumps. Biggest comedies.

368
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins are such a weird three and no team they

369
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: deserve credit. Tannehill has avoided mistakes. He's mostly made smart decisions.

370
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: He's had some key runs over the last couple of weeks.

371
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: But this is another game, kind of like the seven

372
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: hour game. That's just it was. It's odd to run

373
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: thirty nine plays compared to seventy four for the Raiders

374
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: and have half as many first downs. But but they

375
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: find a way to win. And Adam Gaze has something

376
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: going on in one score games. He's sixteen and five

377
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: and one score games in his time in Miami. So

378
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: they find a way to win these close ones. I

379
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I thought the Raiders are one of

380
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: the weirdest teams in memory, because all offseason you hear

381
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Jon Gruden telling you this offense will run through Amari Cooper.

382
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: I will turn Amari Cooper into what everyone believes he

383
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: should be. And he's completely shut down by Kaavian Howard today.

384
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: One of the reasons you get Jordy Nelson from half

385
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: a decade ago suddenly making all the plays for a

386
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: team that feels like a shotgun from a cannon from

387
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and six. I don't know what to say

388
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: about this Raiders teams. The thing about I just did.

389
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: The thing about that though, is that went away after

390
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: the early parts. I mean they adjusted and and and

391
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: you know we're able to stop that. But it's a

392
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: clash of the weird because you have the weird raid

393
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: your team, and then you have the Dolphins. You have

394
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: won three weird games in a row. Xavian Howard is

395
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: really good. They have a lot The Dolphins defense has

396
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: a chance to be really good. Robert Quinn looks like

397
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: a totally different player making Fitzpatrick is is good. Kiko

398
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: Alonso seems to turn it on every three years or so,

399
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: and he started this year like on fire. They can

400
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: be their defense. Uh. And the cynic in me and

401
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's just the Jets fan and I don't like

402
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: to say nice things about the Dolphins is they seem

403
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: to be exhibiting all the signs of the team that

404
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: gets out of the gate fast and then fades. But

405
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: I can't can't get to you can't be hard on

406
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: the team. That's three and o. They took care of

407
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: their business and that's it. I think that Dolphins fans

408
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: should note that at least half of the studio is

409
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: bashing them and not believing in them and saying they

410
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: might be frauds. Well, I mean, it's it's it's it's

411
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: a defensive team. That's the way defensive teams usually are.

412
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: They're kind of weird West, what's going on. I don't

413
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: the whole thing with Dolphins fans don't buy them for

414
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: a minute, But I mean, what why kill a team

415
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: that's knocking off bad teams? At least they did their job. Yeah,

416
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: you're three, you know they're they're sitting pretty. Let's move up.

417
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: Mariota takes the snap, running himself. He's got the first down,

418
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: the thirty five to the forty to forty five, and

419
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: he's taken down at that is the mice stro Marcus Mariota. Okay,

420
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: the maceetro Marcus Mariota uh Titans radio with the call

421
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: They're Marcus Mariota replaced. They could cussed. Blaine Gabbard led

422
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: three field goal drives enough for the Titans to knock

423
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: off the host Jaguars nine six on Sunday. The Titoons

424
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: have beatning the Jack's three straight times in Mariota. That

425
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: was five wins and seven tries against the defending South champs.

426
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: Nick Shook explained the Jaguars to me last week they

427
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: looked super Bowl ready against the Patriots. Today the toilet Bowl.

428
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: The first thing I've written top of my notes in

429
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: all caps, a whole lot of nothing. That's where this

430
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: entire game was offensively for the Jaguars. Blake Bortles would

431
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: find a guy occasionally and he'd drop a pass, and

432
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: then he'd have a guy open and he'd overthrow him.

433
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: And it was just a whole lot of people not

434
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: doing their jobs offensively. And I couldn't figure out throughout

435
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: this game whether this was the Titans defense playing well

436
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: or the Jaguars just not executing. And the only part

437
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: they really executed in for most of the day was

438
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: on the ground game with t J. Yeldon, who was

439
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: fighting through an injury and had to come out for

440
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: for you know, spaces and time in that game, so

441
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: they couldn't establish anything and the result is six points.

442
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: They tried to fake punt twice, it didn't work. I mean,

443
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: that's the kind of day it was. I feel like

444
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: the football God say, if we're gonna give you Felcon Saints,

445
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: we're also gonna give you Titans Jaguars. You can't have

446
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: you can't have something less than this. You have to

447
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: have a nice little six to three, six to nine

448
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: type games. Saints outgained this game by a d r

449
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: by themselves, by themselves. Yeah, just just them. Yeah, someone

450
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: should point out the Titans owned the Jaguars. Yes, for

451
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: whatever reason, they match up well with with a better team. Yeah,

452
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: but can we do that since there's a new coaching

453
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: staff in Tennessee. Who expected Casey's just talking his back

454
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: after every game, which he did after this one, and West,

455
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, was the guy who putting kind of the

456
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: the governor onto the Blake Bortles hype throughout the week

457
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: to saying like that is who Blake Bortles is is

458
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: having one great week and then having the next week

459
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: where I think he was I think he had sixty

460
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: four yards at halftime on eighteen attempts. It doesn't matter

461
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: because this game wasn't on national TV, so it won't

462
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: ever be part of the conversation. I just just say

463
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: this too about Marcus Mariota, like he is. He is

464
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: the franchise still for the Titans right at this point. Yes,

465
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: how is it then that he's not healthy enough to

466
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: start the game but healthy enough to come in? Like,

467
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: if he's ther franchise, he either can play or he can't.

468
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: I would think that he should should not even be

469
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: in this game if you can't grip a football. I

470
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: think the backup plan came into order when Blake Gabbert

471
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: got knocked out because then they still want to win

472
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: the game, and they did end up winning the game,

473
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: but their next best option. It's strange. They're they're saying

474
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: that he can't make it any worse and that it

475
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: hurts his accuracy and some of his you know, velocity,

476
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: that he can't grip it. But it is. It is strange,

477
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: and it's also strange like he's winning these games against

478
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: the Jaguards often with his legs. He rushed for fifty

479
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: one yards today and in a game where that's that

480
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: was kind of the key on this three field goal drives.

481
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: He does have something to these, yeah, But all I'd

482
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: say is everyone listening to this show right now has

483
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: had the moment where you've fallen asleep on your couch

484
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: on your arm and you wake up and you can't

485
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: even feel anything from the shoulder down, Like I don't.

486
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: That's not who I want throwing the football for my team,

487
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: just throwing out there. I feel recalled. This happened to

488
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer a few years ago where he had a

489
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: nerve problem with the throwing arm and he had to

490
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: sit out for a while. I think Mariota as a

491
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: as their franchise quarterback is open and they have two

492
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: years really to decide on his fifth year option. But

493
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I think that's we'll see what's

494
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: slowed onto my astro. That maestro is someone who's flamm

495
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: points or maestro. They're eccentric, they're running the room. This

496
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: guy is one of the more and he's hard working.

497
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: I like him, but he's one of the more bland

498
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: personas in all the league. Maestro is not the listen.

499
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: You go on the road and you shut down the

500
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars and you get a win again. Same thing with

501
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I give you credit, here's your lollipop, but

502
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: don't tell me the Titans are exciting when this again,

503
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: this type of football we've been seeing. Their defense is

504
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: better than people thinking there's something too that the way

505
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: that they've won those two games to put that in

506
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: the bank. Kind of early in the scene, we're talking

507
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: a little Patriots in these crazy in these crazy ways.

508
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: I think that is it's a great foundation, a way

509
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: to kind of start to say you just got to

510
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: get better at you were comparing them to early Patriots.

511
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: I was saying, Mike Rabel as a head coach is

512
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: probably he would probably love to win a game no

513
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: other way than the last two weeks. Shouldn't we be

514
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: given this coaching staff to be going through so many

515
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: tackle and quarterback issues and still winning games. Well, the

516
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: last one didn't get it done. So yes, you guys

517
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: aren't excited by a hunter yourards passing, Oh we are not, generally.

518
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nick, great to see you again. Thanks for

519
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: having me. Congrats on your new dynasty in Cleveland. Flying high?

520
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: Should Nick and I are holding hands for the sky?

521
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: I do like Dan's role is the only American rooting

522
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: against the Browns. Unbelievable the second half of that game. Sorry, Mark,

523
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: but was the first time my heart truly rooted for

524
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: the brown since I've known you. I don't take offense

525
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: to that. I think you had no reason to previously.

548
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: a man winding up at the text and he's taught

549
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: into the end, don't touchdown it is Jason crewe Wine

550
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: open touchdown Buffalo John Murphy w g R with the call.

551
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: The Bills entered Week three as a seventeen and a

552
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: half point underdog against the Vikings. The Desert Lies. Josh

553
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: Allen played like a trusty veteran, accounting for three touchdowns

554
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: in his first road start. The Bill shocked the Vikings

555
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: se to six in Minneapolis. Mark Seler, what the listen,

556
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: That's the perfect way to open this because the thing

557
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: that concerns me the most for the Vikings, outside of

558
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: the fact that you manage fourteen rushing yards and are

559
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: dominated by the Bill's defense all day long, is that

560
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: these games has happened where someone rolls in who shouldn't

561
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: even be in this game, and they get a little

562
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: seventeen and nothing lead like they did off of a

563
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: very bad start for Kirk Cousins with a couple of

564
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: strip sacks short fields for Buffalo, they managed seventeen points

565
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: of it. You still had forty five minutes if you're

566
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: the Vikings at home, to wind your way out of this,

567
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: and you found no way to do it. This wasn't

568
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: a fluke. This game on its own in the sense

569
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen finally played in a way that we

570
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: hope he used his legs. He did not make killer mistakes.

571
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: He did have an interception that was dropped, but then

572
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins in the second half turns around and throws

573
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: a killer pick. They never found their way in this game,

574
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: and now you have a short week. I don't know

575
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: if they were looking past the Bills, because on Thursday

576
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: night you have to deal with the juggernaut that is

577
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. But if you did look past them,

578
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: and there was a moment in this game where Mike

579
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Zimmer was caught by Tracy Wilson of CBS saying, oh

580
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: my god, it's twenty seven to nothing. You were caught

581
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: off guard in this game, and it is a hyper

582
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: concerning footnote in week three. For this Vikings team to

583
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: have this happen there, I think gets extremely troubling loss.

584
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: And uh, you know I I said it even before

585
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: the scene started, that the Vikings were on my radar

586
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: a little bit as a team. Keep an eye on

587
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: them because everyone had him penciled in to be a

588
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: juggernaut again this year. And maybe they will. Maybe this

589
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: is just a buff in the road. But also there's

590
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: so much pressure on this team to build off last season,

591
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: and to me, this is a loss. I kept on waiting.

592
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to watch this yet, but

593
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: I kept on waiting, and so tend nothing. Okay, blipping

594
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: the radar. They'll get back in seventeen nothing, what twenty four? Nothing?

595
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: And then I lose track of the game. We get

596
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: back to its midway through the fourth quarter and they

597
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: still don't have a point, and you just you're wondering,

598
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: how the hell a team that has this much talent

599
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: could be that badly outplayed against such a poor team

600
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: missing with Shawn McCoy, I wish we still had the UM.

601
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: I wish you weren't a liar drop. Because Mike Zimmer

602
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: insisted after the game they did not overlook the bill,

603
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's exactly what happened here. But credit

604
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: to the Bills. My apologies for treating them like a

605
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: laughing stock. And Josh Allen I was I was so

606
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: happy to see him play well because people have written

607
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: him off and he is so talented, so my mind

608
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: is open on him. I just didn't think they had

609
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: enough surrounding town. But their defense must have been a

610
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: buzz allt at it, and we've we've talked about it.

611
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't think there's that much of a difference on

612
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: on one day between professional teams. That's why there hasn't

613
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: been an upset this big according to Vegas and so long.

614
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: It's because there aren't lines that big. Because Jerry Hughes

615
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: is collecting a ten million dollar paycheck and he's a

616
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: professional whichever team he's on, and he happened to have

617
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: one of the most insane days you know, according to

618
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: ESPN stat that anyone's ever had. He had fifteen pressures

619
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: the most, is the most since next Gen Stats has

620
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: been keeping that as an official stat right, so he

621
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: goes crazy. Lorenzo Alexander has a monster day. Tremaine Edmonds,

622
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: who has been kind of a had a tough start

623
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: to his career. The first couple of games plays well,

624
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: and we remember that, hey, this Bill's defensive staff did

625
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: pretty well, and that that, to me is almost the

626
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: more surprising part of this equation is that their defense,

627
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: the Bills, that is, who had really he struggled, played

628
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: this well for four Well. I wasn't here last week,

629
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: but it was two weeks ago that you mentioned that

630
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott is a guy that does find a way

631
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: to dig out of holes, and he's done it before.

632
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: And what a scenery altering win, because this fell like

633
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: a guy who could have been out of the league.

634
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: And eight weeks if things kept on the way they were,

635
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: they looked at the worst team that we've seen in

636
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: many years, and suddenly this happens. It's a completely unpredictable league.

637
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Just crazy. That's one of the bigger upsets you'll see

638
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: this season, if not the biggest. Unless the Vikings are

639
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: as good as we thought, we shall find out or

640
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: it's or it's just one week. Let's find out. Blacko

641
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: play action, rolls to the right, being chased, he talks,

642
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: he wants to run. Flacko turns a corner. He he's

643
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: got the first down to the twenty five yard line

644
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: and with two thirty six left, he'll play the Hayes

645
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: in the barn. The hey indeed is in the barn.

646
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: Of course, that is Jerry Sanduski of w B A

647
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: l uh Lamar who Joe Flacco scrambled to his right

648
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: got where he needed to go first down, locked up

649
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens four win over the Broncos in Baltimore. Flacco

650
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: was efficient, not flashy, and the Ravens defense help case

651
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: Keenum and the Broncos under three yards of total offense. UM.

652
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that this was the most memorable game.

653
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: It's not a game that when you gentlemen, fire up

654
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: your game pass accounts are going to it's gonna blow

655
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: your minds. But this is a Ravens win. This is

656
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: what the Ravens do. When the Ravens are right, Uh,

657
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: they get enough from their offense and their defense does

658
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: the job. And that's exactly what happened here. Denver, after

659
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good start, just could not get anything going.

660
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: I mean they I think they were up fourteen nothing

661
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: in this game and then had punt after punt after

662
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: punt after punch or they put up fourteen points. Wasn't

663
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: there a punch mixed mixed in there with the punts? Yes,

664
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: there was a punch by super rookie. Uh, Philip Lindsay

665
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: after a case Keenum was stripped by Sorell Suggs, who's

666
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: still making plays at age thirty five. Uh, and there

667
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: was a scramble for four years. I would agree with that.

668
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: Maybe he's thirty six. That could be wrong, but Philip

669
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: Lindsay was in the mid Philip Lindsay in the mix.

670
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: He kind of had a couple of rabbit punches and

671
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: and unfortunately for Mr Lindsay was right in front of

672
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: an official, so he gets disqualified from the game. I

673
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: I know Lindsay has played really well in the first

674
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: two weeks, but I'm not ready to say that was

675
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: going to be the difference in this game. I think

676
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: uh Denver just did not have anything after those initial

677
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: drives and Uh Denver. It should also be noted, uh,

678
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: they're banged up in their secondary Adam Jones suffered a

679
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: thigh injury he left the game. Cornerback Germaine Brock also

680
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: got hurt in this game, injured his groin, So the

681
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: broncos Um come down to earth a little bit, and

682
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens again, they just look I think they're gonna

683
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: be in the mix this year. I think this is

684
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: this to me, looks like a good team. Let me

685
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: ask you one question, because I saw that at the

686
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: end of the third quarter, Denver had more penalty yards

687
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: than passing yards. That keen Um at one point had

688
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: fifty six yards, two passes knocked down, three sacks and

689
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: a fumble before throwing a pick. The one thing about

690
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: case Keenum in week one, in two weeks one and

691
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: two is that he's he's had these turnovers, but he's

692
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: battled back and he's shown no fear of still making

693
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: tight window passes and some of them have worked out.

694
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: What happened today was it more Baltimore's defense because the

695
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: turnaround never happened for him. I think it is what

696
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: it is like like. I think a lot of people

697
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: thought this that Keenum, in a perfect situation last year

698
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: played the best football of his life. But this is

699
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: kind of who case Keenum is. If you lower the

700
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: talent level around him, if you if you ramp up

701
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: the defense as you put him on the road, that

702
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna get kind of a hot and cold performance,

703
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: and that's what you got from Keenum on Sunday. I

704
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: don't I think that's fair. You're not saying he's going

705
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: to be a disaster in an awful signing, just that

706
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: he's not going to carry an offense there and he's

707
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: gonna make some mistakes they've had. They used to have

708
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: a difference making defense, obviously, and every year it gets

709
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: slightly worse. And now they're at the point where I

710
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: think you have to wonder is the defense and asset

711
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: or a liability? Are they Are they an average defense?

712
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: And I don't see the the equation for the Broncos

713
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs or be good if they're average

714
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: or below average, even they need the defense to be better.

715
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: And there was a lot of it up West Is

716
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: on Fire early on. I liked your move here too,

717
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: because you took the Broncos the first two weeks of

718
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: the season. Right. Yeah, I'm having like a Miami Dolphins

719
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: level September here. You got a little Mercury remorse thing

720
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: going on right now. You're one, Oh, okays the records

721
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: the record, So you didn't mean seventeen and three and three,

722
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna turn into like a seven hour game in

723
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 1: the hottest game against the Titans in history, and then

724
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: squeaked by the Jets, squeaked by the Raiders. We're all job,

725
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: You're doing a nice job so far West you're three

726
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: and oh in the locks which leads the way, and

727
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: I believe a t N lock it up. The Twitter

728
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: handle said you were the first member of our team

729
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: to ever start to a season. So that's that's ominous.

730
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: It usually does turn around in the in the like

731
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: you know, vaunted three year history too. Year even did

732
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: we start, do not diminish the contest year. It's the

733
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: first time we did it from week one on though

734
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: we're in at least the third year. The second I

735
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: didn't win and you're not winning this year. I know

736
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: Winter is coming was two years ago, right, but we

737
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: didn't start the season. That trophy was handed out for

738
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: the first time at Super Bowl and Erica tampose the

739
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: loose cannon behind the glass. Hey guys, how are you good?

740
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: How are you good? Remember we will need a trophy

741
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: to be handled out after Super Bowl fifty three as well,

742
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: of course, this time to one person, and I'm talking

743
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: to you right now and I would say budget, I

744
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: don't know a million dollars. Let's get Let's get the

745
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 1: two eighty three diamonds Robert Kraft style on this sucker.

746
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: Let's move on. The flip goes back left side called

747
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: Anderson Wick blockers twenty to the timide alice court all

748
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: the way down w C k Y, Dan Horde, Dave Lapham.

749
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: How about that? There you go. Cam Newton through for

750
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, ran for two more. Christian McCaffrey racked up

751
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: a career high a hundred and eighty four yards on

752
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: the ground, and the Carolina Panthers took care of the Bengals,

753
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: gave them their first loss of the season at thirty one.

754
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: Victory for Carolina, Mark Sessler. Is it true? Is it

755
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: really true? Inquiring minds want to know. Inquiring minds, I no, No.

756
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey run between the tackle. I I spotted that today.

757
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: He did that effectively, And that trope, if that's a question,

758
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: slash trope has been answered. He looked the part today. Finally, Well,

759
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: the tackles never crossed a hundred yards on the ground

760
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: my career. I just now looked at the box score

761
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: and my eyes popped out of my head. I was

762
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: not expecting to see a four for Christian McCay really

763
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: wrote him he would hit. The offense went right through

764
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: him today and this was a bit of a white

765
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: knuckle affairs, one of those games where you're in the

766
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: third quarter and when we're writing these things up, I'm like,

767
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: I have no concept of what to write about in

768
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: this game because it's sort of so blase. But then

769
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: it took shape because what happened I thought was that

770
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: the the Bengals, whose offense I still believe in, they

771
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: were without Joe Mixon today and A. J. Green left

772
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 1: with a groin injury in the early in the second half,

773
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: and they really were limited at that point what they

774
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: could do. And you look at Dalton, he had four

775
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: picks and you can say utter disaster. Two of them

776
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: were late game sort of heaves that we're not really

777
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: part of what happened earlier on. He had some nice

778
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: drives to but the problem with the Bengals is they

779
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: were basically, I thought, overpowered down the stretch by a newcomer,

780
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: two of them in Carolina f the Obata jerryan born

781
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: London sourced Nigeria Nightmare two point I will tell you something.

782
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: This guy was a house on fire. He generated a

783
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: strip sack that went back into the Bengals possession after review,

784
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: but then caught an interception that went through a pile

785
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: of people, and then a late game sack that detonated

786
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Really put this game out of hand. And

787
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: then you've got Dante Jackson, the rookie cornerback who has

788
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: three picks in two of in two weeks, two of

789
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: them coming today, and those turnovers ultimately undid the Bengals,

790
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: who when you get Andy Dalton, he's going to turn

791
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: the ball over four times when I'd say two of

792
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: them were genuinely meaningful. That changed this game because the

793
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: Panthers just had too much going on with Kat McCafferty.

794
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: And then Cam Newton, who looks I think to me,

795
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: slimmer and faster and more spry than he has in

796
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: a while. Credit to Henry Hodgson, who was out there

797
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: personally bird dogging, scouting f throughout his college career and

798
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: through London. It's an amazing journey. If you don't know

799
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: his backstory, it's for this Angeles and I think he's

800
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: been you know, within the NFL since and this was

801
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: his first game. It's called the Internet player pathway up

802
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: the path that he took in bankrolls in himself, right.

803
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a pretty incredible thing that this is

804
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: his first snaps he ever got, just nineteen snaps in

805
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: this game, and he ends up making that crazy of

806
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: an impact. Maybe little game ball action. I'm saying he

807
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: should have probably did get he earned it. He It

808
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: was kind of incredible to watch him just make that

809
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: he I think he even on the sideline. They should

810
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: cut to him a couple of times. He was laughing wildly.

811
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: I think he had. He was probably surprised by what

812
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: was happening the Panthers and North Turner deserves some credit.

813
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: I kind of mentioned that, let's get this running game

814
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: going on the last show. They do lead the league

815
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: in yards per carry before this game, and that's largely

816
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: because of Cam Newton. But Cam Newton is a part

817
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: of their running attack, and so they are kind of

818
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: getting back to the what Ron Rivera wants. Especially with this.

819
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,760
Speaker 1: It also left me a little concerned about Cincinnati's front seven,

820
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: which I think is a good front seven, but then

821
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: they got slashed the way they did today. It was

822
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: not what you want out of out of that defense. Well,

823
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned the NFL Pathway program. Is it time to

824
00:39:48,040 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: check in? And now another edition keeping up anybody have it?

825
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot on that player that we're

826
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: all right, we don't we actually don't have we got nothing.

827
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: And that was keeping up with boring. That was another

828
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: additional keeping up with anything else from this game. You

829
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: were like a one man good bad cup. It was

830
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: like literally after maybe the nicest moment in the NFL

831
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: international player history, and then you just had to take

832
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: it down. I got one now and you you've paid

833
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: it like that. There were at least like four or

834
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: five weeks per season where I think Ron Rivera is

835
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: one of the most underrated coaches in the league. Give

836
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: him some boat. He's been there for a long time

837
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: and they're usually in the playoffs. By the way, Obada

838
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: did get the game ball and his uh, his teammates

839
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: seemed to be loving it just as much. Look at

840
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: that indicated and you just fought. Let's move on, calls

841
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: out the signals, takes the snap box to throw steps

842
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: off fire. So the NZO touchdown Giants Starling Shepherd, Bompa,

843
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: Papa Papa w F a n with the call. Eli

844
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 1: mannic through two seven yards and two touchdowns, and se

845
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley added a touchdown of his own as the

846
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: Stream got their first win of the season, conquest over

847
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: the windless Houston Texans. Greg Rose with all the Giants

848
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: were in naptown offense in the first two weeks. What

849
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: changed here? They had a great game plan Eli man

850
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: and got the ball up quickly, especially to Odell Beckham

851
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: and Sterling Shepherd. Not a lot deep down the field,

852
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 1: but at least in stride gave them a place chance

853
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: to make plays after the catch. But what really struck

854
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: me was a third and one play late in the

855
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: fourth quarter where the Giants had gone about four or

856
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: five street drives where they hadn't done anything. They looked

857
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: like they did a week ago again, and you have

858
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: se Kwan Barkley lined up as a wide receiver in

859
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: an empty set on third and one. And that's the

860
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: matchup that Eli Manning chooses to go to is sae

861
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley on a linebacker way out wide. Barkley beats

862
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: him easy, gets the first down. They wind up scoring

863
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: the touchdown that puts the game away. And I just

864
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: thought like last year's Giants aren't doing that. And for

865
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: one week at least, Giants fans got to see a

866
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: different vision of the Giants that would be a lot

867
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 1: more fun to watch. And the afterglow of this event,

868
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: are you finally ready to put Eli Manning where he

869
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: belongs in Canton? Well, he has to wait five years

870
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: after his career is over to do that. He did

871
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: beat the two thousand eighteen Texans, right like, just like

872
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: the type of Barkley took too much criticism last week.

873
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: I thought he made the first guy miss almost every time,

874
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: and he looks solid in this game. It was a

875
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: lot more four or five yard runs, which I think

876
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: the Giants will be really happy to see rather than

877
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of short ones in that big place.

878
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 1: And just like we're saying I was saying with Eli

879
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: last week, he played poorly the first two weeks, but

880
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: that offensive line was so not even competitive. I thought

881
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: for stretches of the first two games, Eric Flower has

882
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: got himself benched in this game. It sounds I mean,

883
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: didn't it sounds of it maybe well before the game. Yeah,

884
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: before the game he got bench for Chad Wheeler. I

885
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: believe in JJ want to make that move when you can.

886
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: J J. Watt came in and just destroyed wheels, used

887
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: them throughout the game. Mary Flowers, maybe we'll be back

888
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: in next week, which made made our our buddy Chris

889
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: Westling looks smart who has been honking about J. J.

890
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: Watts about to go on a sack street And all

891
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: he did was get three sacks and tackle four tackles

892
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: for loss. I think in this game of forced fumble

893
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: he had a monster game, but it wasn't enough. Well,

894
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: thanks to the mind of Dan hanss Our hot takes

895
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: are accountable now. Oh we accountable hot takes every Tuesday

896
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: on the Around the NFL Twitter show. New one coming

897
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 1: up on UH four thirty Eastern, one thirty Pacific on Twitter. Yes,

898
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: west has an accountable hot take that involves J. J.

899
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: Watt going nuts over the next month. But this is

900
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: you know what we talked about all summer Texans were

901
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: a boom or bus team and it is bust oh three,

902
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: there's no coming back. History tells us from oh and

903
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: three and then and and Deshaun Watson's a part of it.

904
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: Uh Greg, I was seeing a lot of tweets out there.

905
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: He was struggling again at least early on, early on especially,

906
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: and this has been a pattern where he in Week

907
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: one that this was the case, and then in this

908
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: game as well, where the only plays they were making

909
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: where if he was just back behind the offensive line

910
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 1: for seven seconds kind of improvising. There was very little

911
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: on schedule. He just wasn't very accurate, but the running

912
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: game was really killed them. Lamar Miller at ten carries

913
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 1: for ten yards. I feel like last year we knew

914
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: that line was not good, but somehow Deshaun Watson spun

915
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: magic and was able to get away from pressure and

916
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: make these incredible plays against teams that had no tape

917
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: on and perhaps but the line now, from what little

918
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm seeing of the Texans this week in the last

919
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: two weeks, the line is going to doom them. It's

920
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: hurt them. I don't know if that was it today,

921
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: but to your point, they were running all sorts of creative,

922
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: crazy stuff last year with Deshaun Watson. Everyone remembers that, right,

923
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: and this year you kind of just look at them

924
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: and they're running a regular NFL offense and it's not

925
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: the same Bill O'Brien's but might be getting hot soon.

926
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: Little warm There were expectations in that town and they

927
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: are not just an extension. Yeah, he just he signed

928
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: later than any coach in the NFL except for Grood,

929
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: and he just made the power move where he got

930
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: his own GM sign too. Is it You would think

931
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: you would think you'd be okay, but you gotta win

932
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: some games they've been That's what it's about, Mark, That's

933
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: what it's about. That's that is the structure here. That's

934
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: the old in the National Football League is do you

935
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: win football game? You are what your record says you.

936
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: Suddenly we're winning games in Central Queens. But that's uh,

937
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: that's a separate issue, not about how many lollipops you

938
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: can collect. Let's move on play action fate. He's got time.

939
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: He's floating it down the middle looking for Richardson at

940
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: the end, goes down at the end of the touchdown,

941
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 1: water passing catcher and Richardson what thought at the one

942
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: had rolled over over the end zone for the score.

943
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 1: Larry Michael w t E M with the call. Adrian

944
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: Peterson ran for a hundred and twenty yards and a

945
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: pair of two yard touchdowns. Al Smith throw two touchdown passes,

946
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: including that dime. He just heard to Paul Richardson and

947
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins held on seventeen a victory over Aaron

948
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers and gentleman, this game, uh,

949
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 1: featured a Packers team that I did not like watching

950
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: very much. I did not like watching Aaron Rodgers on

951
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: a bad knee that's not getting better and a bad

952
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: hamstring out there looking like he's nineteen Jo Nameth. He

953
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: just couldn't move, and I mean it was bad. And

954
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: that's what's worth what's kind of sneaky great about Rogers

955
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: and what's been what's makes him so special. It's not

956
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: just his accuracy and his arm strength and the swagger,

957
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: which is all, you know, top of the list, but

958
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: also his maneuverability and how easily he moves in and

959
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: out of traffic, and how he could pick up yardage

960
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: with his legs and create time and that stuff. He's

961
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: still able to do on some level, but it's becoming

962
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: more and more compromised the more his body gets beat up. Uh.

963
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: And are you saying they should see him? No, I

964
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't go that far. Although let's see how bad is

965
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: his hamstring. He just wasn't moving well. I think he

966
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: gives them a better chance to win even in this

967
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: state than to Shaun Kaiser. So the answer would be no.

968
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: But uh, the other problem is when Rogers is not

969
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: you need the guys around him to step up. And

970
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: this was a really poor performance by his skill position

971
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: players around him. I'll single out um two guys. Tight

972
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: End Lance Kendricks had a killer, terrible, pathetic drop on

973
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: a beautiful dime pass uh from Rogers that he put

974
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: right on the money. Would have been about a forty

975
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: yard game. This is right when the Packers are trying

976
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: to get some momentum going. They're playing from behind in

977
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 1: this whole game, and Kendricks kind of looks it into

978
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: his hands and never has a good grip on it

979
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: and drops it. And then Randall Cobb, who used to

980
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: be a rising star in this league, and you know

981
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: he was out on the trade market reportedly over the

982
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: summer again and was not helping the team in this game.

983
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: He had a he had a drop, he had a fumble. Uh.

984
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 1: Just not a guy that's making plays. Another relatively quiet

985
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: game for Jimmy Graham. Davante Adams did some nice things.

986
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: Geronimo Allison had a nice deep ball, uh touchdown. But

987
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: other than that, this the skill players let Rogers down. Uh,

988
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: so they're kind of in a weird spot right now.

989
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: Cobb with four catches off eleven targets, I know there

990
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: were drops in there, like you said, yeah, the Adrian

991
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: Peterson highlights, and it looked like two thousand twelve Adrian Peterson.

992
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: He looks awesome. There was one place jump cuts where

993
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: really expected. There was one jump cut where it really

994
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: did look like two thousand twelve Peterson where he did

995
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: a jump cut, got to the outside of then what

996
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: up the sideline for about thirty yards. He was at

997
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: eighty five yards midway through the second quarter. He slowed

998
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: down a little bit in the second half, but still

999
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: went for one. Twenty One of the touchdowns should not

1000
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: have counted, but the referees got it wrong on the

1001
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: field and there was such a dog pile that you

1002
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: couldn't even overturn it. But West, you're right, just like

1003
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: you were right when you called it before the season started.

1004
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: Peterson as a major asset for this team and they're

1005
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: leaning hard on him. They leaned on him to close

1006
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: out the game, which he helped do. Uh, And this

1007
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: is just another Also good game for Alex Smith, who

1008
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 1: was just so splendidly consistent in his goodness. Never greatness,

1009
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: but just goodness. He moves the team, he gets he

1010
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: gets the ball in the right people's hands, so I

1011
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: only have to throw the ball twenty times, which is

1012
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: per if you're Ja grud and you're you're loving that,

1013
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: and the Redskins are reminded it's so early. All these

1014
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: teams are just forming and we're trying to figure out

1015
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: The Redskins basically had perfect week one Week three in

1016
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: a disastrous week too. Yeah. Week two is the week

1017
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: that I decided to lock up this team in the

1018
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: sandwich to awesome games on an utter dut against the

1019
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: You're looking for things that will last in Peterson. That's

1020
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: something they have to be really excited about. And then

1021
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen that kids a ball playerff. I mean, now,

1022
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: two more, two more sacks today and that's something, Okay,

1023
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 1: we got. We got a real difference maker in the

1024
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: middle of their line. And finally, almost impossibly, we're gonna

1025
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: have to talk about this again, Clay Matthews breaks through

1026
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: the line, uh makes a bee line for the quarterback,

1027
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: goes shoulder to the side hits him right center, square

1028
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: in the chest, kind of goes down hard because that's

1029
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: what happened. Happens when professional athletes collide at a high

1030
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: rate of speed and then raises his hands even as

1031
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: he's coming off. Alex Smith just ensure he doesn't get

1032
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: a flag, even exaggerates it. I did not try to

1033
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 1: Here comes the flag and again, and this is infuriating.

1034
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: The NFL makes the unusual step to reach out to

1035
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: the broadcast to immediately back the officials call, saying he

1036
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: put all or some of his body weight onto the quarterback.

1037
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: So that was a good call that we back, which

1038
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: is bologny. Bad job by the NFL, and look at

1039
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: uh the way to Twitter reacts and the bad vibes

1040
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: that that this is creating. Here's what Clay Matthews had

1041
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: to say after the latest issue unfortunately leads going in

1042
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: the direction I think a lot of people don't like um,

1043
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: you know, I think they're getting soft and you know,

1044
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: the only thing hard about this league or is a

1045
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: fine that they leave you down like me to play

1046
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: the game wargs. I have to give Clay Matthews credit.

1047
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 1: He actually restrained himself where I think a lot of

1048
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: people would go nuts in that situation. Mike McCarthy did

1049
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: almost get kicked out. I tweeted that I thought he

1050
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: was like a man trapped in a cop Ca novel

1051
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: at this point, because two weeks in a row in

1052
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 1: this in these questionable environment, this one today he even

1053
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: went up to Alex Smith and said, I'm sorry, what

1054
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: else could I have possibly done? There? The soft argument

1055
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: is going to go nowhere. And this is all corners

1056
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: of the country are criticized in the NFL for being soft,

1057
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: for trying to take hitting out of the game. Stop.

1058
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: It's never gonna go anywhere. They're trying to make the

1059
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: game as safe as possible. That that argument is going

1060
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: to be left behind. It's never gonna work. Take the

1061
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: argument that the role is confusing and it piss defensive

1062
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: players in a bad spot. You have to know what

1063
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: you're allowed to an impossible spot. Yeah, I think that's

1064
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: that's the problem. It's not the soft thing that that

1065
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: all the defenders wait on the quarterback rule. It's funny

1066
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: how that slips so much under the radar compared to

1067
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 1: the helmet rule in the pre season. That's the source

1068
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 1: of all of these problems. Really, the time where they're

1069
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: roughing the passer and they're hitting the helmet, and generally

1070
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: I agree with all of those calls. This seems like

1071
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: an impossible rule to do. It isn't if we're going

1072
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: for safety when they teach you how to tackle when

1073
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: you're young, like what this hit today on Alex Smith

1074
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: was not a dangerous hit? So what so something's lost here?

1075
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 1: In translations? Did they run pain, pick up Rodgers and

1076
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 1: body slam him in this game and not get a

1077
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: penalty called. That's the thing that happens a couple of times.

1078
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: You can pick out four or five times that happened

1079
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 1: throughout the week that doesn't get called in theay. Matthews

1080
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: actually sought out Alex Smith after the game and asked, Hey,

1081
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: did that seem bad to you? Because he's as lost

1082
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: as everyone else. Well, you're having quarterbacks now and it's

1083
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: happened last week or it's gonna happen again, coming out

1084
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: almost in defense of the players tackling them, saying we

1085
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: we agree with you, and I will say this just

1086
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: so everyone knows that that that in this case last week,

1087
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 1: the bad call against um claim Matthews cost the Packers

1088
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: to win. In this case, it didn't affect the outcome.

1089
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: It led to a punt anyway, but still terrible job.

1090
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: Let's hear from our sponsors. Oh yeah. With smart design,

1106
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,799

1120
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the hail Mary play because they

1121
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: put in Jacobe Brosette, who has the big arms, were

1122
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 1: set deep drop looking scrambles, throws out to the right

1123
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: side looking still looking, sets up. He's it towards the

1124
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: end zone. Here's a hail Mary and and it is

1125
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 1: bout it down and incomplete. And that's the ball game.

1126
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: W I p Merrill Reese with the call. Carson wentz

1127
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: through a touchdown pass uh his first drive in nine months.

1128
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: Wendel Smallwood run in n a from the four yard

1129
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: line to put the Eagles ahead for good, and they

1130
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: won twenty to sixteen over the Colts. The Eagles needed

1131
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: to come from behind in this one, surviving a final

1132
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: hail Marry Attempa as you heard it, Jacobe Bissett. Uh.

1133
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: They moved to two and one on the season. West

1134
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: What was Wentz's rust level on this week? He came

1135
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: out and had an impressive first drive. UM, I think

1136
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: twelve plays about seventy five yards let him on a

1137
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: touchdown drive showed escapability. Um, you know how Carson wentzay

1138
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: is He's gonna run into some sacks because he keeps

1139
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,760
Speaker 1: plays alive, and he's gonna get out of some sacks

1140
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: because he has that who DENI like escapability. He showed

1141
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: all that for the middle part of the game, second third,

1142
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: beginning of the fourth quarters to defense, the offense got

1143
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: shut down. Uh. He came through aided by some Colts penalties.

1144
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 1: One that was especially a head scratcher on jabal shirt

1145
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: cheered defensive holding at the line of scrimmage that helped

1146
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: him convert a third down and get into the end

1147
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: zone to take the lead. Late in the game, sort

1148
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: of a mixed bat for for Carson Wentz for Andrew Luck.

1149
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: We've commented that he's looked better, I think, on tape

1150
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: than his five point nine yards per tempt through two

1151
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: weeks probably indicated, but how did he look today? The

1152
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: numbers are even worse four yards per attempt, career low

1153
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: four yards per attempt. And I think if you entered

1154
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 1: this game and you thought, okay, he's got the lowest

1155
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: depth of target in the league, which means he's not

1156
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: passing deep at all. Because it's good coaching, their left

1157
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: tackles out, their skill petition, skill position talent isn't very good.

1158
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: They have no running game, get the ball out quickly,

1159
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: and then on the final here's the facts. In this game,

1160
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: he's got a less than a hundred yards. Late in

1161
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: the game, like middle of the fourth quarter, he doesn't

1162
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: even have a hundred yards. Their best play is Luck

1163
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: throwing it a rainbow, and then t Y Hilton getting

1164
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference, which happened a couple of a couple

1165
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: of times in this game, and then down the stretch.

1166
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: It's weird how narratives go, because if t Y Hilton

1167
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: locates a faith pass and they take the lead. We

1168
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 1: never see the final desperation drive when he's checking down

1169
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: the whole time, never trying to threaten down the field,

1170
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: He's just checking down. They get the midfield, almost midfield,

1171
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: they bring in Jacoby precent for the hail Mary, and

1172
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: everyone's wondering what's wrong with Andrew Luck's arm. I think

1173
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: it to me, that's a sure sign that Raich is

1174
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: admitting Andrew Luck's arm isn't where it needs to be.

1175
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he's not Chad Pennington. Maybe he's still working

1176
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: back to get that arm strength. But no other no

1177
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: other quarterback in the league gets pulled in this situation.

1178
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not concerned about here, Chuck what he

1179
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: said about this. Jacoby has a stronger arm than I do.

1180
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's it's sort of what I see in practice.

1181
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: And you can ask, you know, the coach I was.

1182
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: I think the coach obviously thinks that as well. Uh,

1183
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: And I'll keep working on getting my arm to where,

1184
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 1: you know where, Maybe it can't hit an eight yard

1185
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: throw throw from the minus thirty, but no, I think

1186
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: it was you know, no qualms with with that decision.

1187
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: I'll say this as much as that Hail Mary. What

1188
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: bothered me was the plays before that. There are forty

1189
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: three seconds left. He could have worked down for he

1190
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: could have worked down to get the ball down the field,

1191
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: and instead he was just taking easy check downs for

1192
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: four or five yards. No desire, what's whatsoever to test

1193
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles down the field. I mean, it can't be

1194
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: concerned at all about his durability or status and physically

1195
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: right now. He threw the ball fifty three yards in

1196
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: the opener thirty one last week, forty today. They are

1197
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: a very weird offense. Don't have a running back across

1198
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: nineteen yards today, and they don't have a receiver go

1199
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: for more than fifty. It's just seems like Reich is

1200
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 1: having to work with what he has with Andrew Luck

1201
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: and the surrounding cast right now. And we've thought that

1202
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: they've been scrappy, and they were scrappy. They had a

1203
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: lead in Philadelphia in the fourth quarter, and yet you

1204
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: come out of this game. I think if you're an

1205
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: Eagles fan, you feel pretty great that you only gave

1206
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: up two nine yards the defenses around the end of

1207
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: shape and you have Carson Wentz back and your two

1208
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: and one, like you got through this about Darius Leonard.

1209
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard and Marcus Hunt both extremely impressive again this week.

1210
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the Battle of Los Angeles. This

1211
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: well protected, it breaks down, he wants to run now,

1212
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: throws right side Cooper Cup, thirty gets through uh j

1213
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: B Long Jaunty and that was m j D with

1214
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: oh wow KSPN with the call. Jared cop threw for

1215
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: three fifty four and three touchdowns, including that connection with

1216
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, leading the Rams to three win over the Chargers,

1217
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: who simply could not keep up with the best offense

1218
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: in the NFC. Greg typical Bolts game for me. They

1219
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: move the ball on offense, make place to stay in

1220
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: the game, but they make some mistakes also, and you

1221
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: can't do that against the Rams. And they're building now.

1222
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: They were playing the best overall team in the league

1223
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,439
Speaker 1: right now, and and the Rams are just so hard

1224
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: to stop that every possession that they don't score a

1225
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 1: touchdown feels like such a win for the defense. If

1226
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: it's such a surprise, and I'm really surprised that this

1227
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: was the week where the conversation, for whatever reason became

1228
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: is Jared Goff a system quarterback or is he something else?

1229
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: For some reason that was on every show, But why

1230
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: this week because he's coming off the best three game

1231
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: stretch maybe of his career. He looks awesome. This was

1232
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: one of the best games of his career. He had

1233
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: one interception, which you know he'd like to get back,

1234
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: but other than that, he's been playing great over the

1235
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,439
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, especially today, fitting the ball into

1236
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: tight windows. Him and Robert Woods have such a great

1237
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: connection and Brandon Cooks has rounded out this offense that

1238
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: they are just so tough to stop that they line

1239
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: up with the same personnel every freaking snap all season basically,

1240
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: but they do it in such different ways that no

1241
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: one has any idea how to stop it. Yeah, until

1242
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 1: it changes. I'm gonna enter every week assuming that the

1243
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Rams have an unfair advantage due to Sean mcveigh's beautiful

1244
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: mind right in continuity in players like the top two

1245
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: rated tackles in in football this week in terms of

1246
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: past protection where the Rams to tackles according to Pro

1247
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Football Focus. So you can't run on this team. That's

1248
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: the that's the ideas that you should be able to.

1249
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: But when you really look at it's Brock, Sue and

1250
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Donald next to each other, and it's hard to find

1251
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: a weakness unless a keep to leave and Marcus Peters

1252
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: are both seriously hurt. They both left this game, Peters

1253
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: with a caffe injury, to leave with an ankle, and

1254
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: so that that's gotta be uh making Vikings fans feel

1255
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: a little better. That's a short week. I I'm annoyed

1256
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: by the golf narrative because the team itself and I

1257
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 1: feel like they're really on. McVeigh is really honest about

1258
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: where the offense is. He does maybe give everyone credit

1259
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 1: and not himself, but they talked about golf becoming an

1260
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: extension of the coaching staff. I feel like he's someone

1261
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: that's grown and made leaps and bounds from last year,

1262
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 1: and he's a warning to any team that has a

1263
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: young quarterback and doesn't want to surround them with the

1264
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: best possible offensive coaches, which some teams seem to not do. Meanwhile,

1265
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: with the Chargers, I am sorry. I cannot at this

1266
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: point sit through many more weeks of this. I have

1267
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: Chargers exhaustion. It is every week I can't listen. I

1268
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: get that it's the MS this week, so fair enough,

1269
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: it is the same game over and over. They need

1270
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa back, and they also locked this one up.

1271
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Needed that w moved to one and two. But they

1272
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: really they need Joey Bosa back, and they just got

1273
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: to clean it up on a special team. Guess they

1274
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: missed an extra point and uh, they also get a

1275
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: punt blocked in the ends when Dennal and James had

1276
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: a great red zone interception and then foolishly try to

1277
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: run it out and got forced out at the one

1278
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: yard line which led to two runs that almost ended

1279
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: into safety and then a block punt. So, uh, they

1280
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: just make those mistakes and they just they were outclassed.

1281
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean McVeigh is not the only difference making coach

1282
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: on this team. Wade Phillips obviously is as well. And

1283
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: then John Fossil is a monster advantage. I mean, you

1284
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: you come up with a block punt, you you find

1285
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: this return guy what was his name last week, joo

1286
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Jojo Natson, who looks like the second coming of you know,

1287
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Eric Metcal and he was their backup that because they're

1288
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: replacing another Pro Bowl return of Farrell Cooper. It's like,

1289
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, if I don't know if Fossil does

1290
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: someone to just hire him to be their head coach

1291
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: because at least you get his special How about this

1292
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: for a hot take. You could replace John Fossil with

1293
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: former correspondent John Stossel and you'd still make the Charger

1294
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: special teams look bad. Just put Stossel in there for

1295
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: the Rams and he'd scheme away to take advantage of

1296
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. The NFL in the right there, in the

1297
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: interest of helping the Los Angeles market, should give John

1298
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Fossil to the Charger John Fossil where he is so

1299
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: he can do what he does best. Chargers, figure on

1300
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: your own issues out. It is exhausting to watch the

1301
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: team right now, the hired John Stossel. That's an answer.

1302
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Next shot snap, they come after Rosa back to throw

1303
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: fires the right side. It is intercepted at the forty

1304
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,439
Speaker 1: two yard line. That was an easy quick in front

1305
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: of Christen kirk Hi Gryce Callahan with a one time

1306
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,959
Speaker 1: to go in the game. The Bears take over leading

1307
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: sixteen fourteen. That's a disappointment from Dave Pashup Katie a r.

1308
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen replaced a battered in an ineffect of Sam Bradford,

1309
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,439
Speaker 1: but he wasn't enough to spark the Cardinals, who fell

1310
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: to oh and three after a sixteen fourteen loss of

1311
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: the Bears. Uh Chicago was down fourteen zip in the

1312
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: second half, but Mitch Drabinski let a touchdown drive two

1313
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: field goal drives as well to pull it out. Mark Selser,

1314
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: the Bears, of course, are the team around the NFL,

1315
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: But you were grumbling throughout the afternoon about their quarterback. Well,

1316
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:39,439
Speaker 1: I think the team's quarterback is Khalil Mack, who once

1317
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: again was the most dominant player on on the team. Well,

1318
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: it is an interesting strategy. I don't know where they'd

1319
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: be without him right now. You mean like figuratively, figuratively,

1320
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: not literally, you know, he did not he did not

1321
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: come in on offense. I They're just tough for me

1322
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: to watch. I really enjoy the fact that there. I

1323
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: think for Bears fans number one, you're two and one,

1324
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: you're probably like, shut up right now. We haven't been

1325
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: too in one in a thousand years. We'll take it.

1326
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Will march on. This was a white knuckle affair. It was,

1327
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, two teams trying to figure each other out.

1328
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: But the Bears offense, to me, it's like you're going,

1329
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: You're We're going to see this game over and over.

1330
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: It is a very talented stack defense that probably in

1331
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: the locker room has to be asking themselves, what on

1332
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: earth do we need to do more than one of

1333
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: these defenses to get our offense to complement us. And

1334
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: it's it I just wonder, and it's it is too

1335
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: early to say. And I got killed before the season

1336
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: for sharing my concerns. Well, no, it was like, at

1337
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: that's just not a fair question. It's like, listen, I

1338
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: just all right, well, I am now legit concerned because

1339
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: I just wonder if he is a no, because it's

1340
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: like it is is he a breakout I just wonder

1341
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: if he's a breakout proof quarterback because I'm just watching

1342
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: someone who has accuracy issues that show up over and

1343
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: over in the game. I love him when he's mobile

1344
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: and he's running, but that cannot be what Mitch Robinsky

1345
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: offers you a quarterback. It's really concerned at this point.

1346
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: And I think they like they've got nice parts around

1347
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: him to some degree. I totally believe in the coaching staff.

1348
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: But you're everyone who wanted to think you're gonna get

1349
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh and Jared Goff Part two, Well, you don't

1350
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: have that, and that's not happening in the in the

1351
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: next month. And what happened this season? What did happen

1352
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: in the offseason? Mark, you were you were saying, should

1353
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: we be nervous about your binski? And what I think

1354
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the room said was maybe it's not

1355
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: gonna be Jared goff uh Sean McVey part two. But

1356
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: he was being coached by John Fox and Friends. Last year,

1357
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: it was you gotta like John Fox and Friends. That's

1358
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: pretty good. He always had to throw it out. But

1359
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: now that we have a little bit more data, with

1360
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: a new staff and an offensive minded head coach who

1361
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: was really well thought of. Now I think it's fair

1362
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:47,959
Speaker 1: if you're a Best Bears fan and it's still early,

1363
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: but to be a little bit nervous about your bisky

1364
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: and whether he can hack it for a team that's

1365
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: looking to compete for the playoffs. Yeah, I think what

1366
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: I've noticed in the first two weeks was his footwork

1367
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: is an issue, especially on ormedia and deep throws. And

1368
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: you're right, Mark, when he's on the run, that's when

1369
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: he's a good quarterback, But what about in the pocket

1370
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: like that? That's all fine, But they were down fourteen

1371
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: nothing on the road and they won the game. And

1372
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: like Bears have not had many seasons where you could

1373
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: be anything but thrilled with a win. And I do

1374
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: think it is a team sport here, and I think

1375
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: the Bears are gonna be an interesting team in the mix. Yeah,

1376
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: they might be. Their quarterback is not going to be

1377
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: their strongest position, but they were able to get out

1378
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: of that hole eventually turned around by shutting down Sam Bradford,

1379
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: getting some turnovers, setting up their offense, and making the

1380
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: plays at the end. So you have this new coaching

1381
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:41,479
Speaker 1: staff and for the first time in for a while,

1382
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: even if Drabinsky is struggling, it's like, all right, these

1383
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,919
Speaker 1: are real signs of progress. I'll give that. Like I said,

1384
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: they're two and one, And if you're a Bears fan,

1385
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: you've been in in the dark ages for so long

1386
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: that you don't want to hear negativity coming off a

1387
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: game like this. At the same time, it's just that

1388
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: this is the thing you traded up for bits Trabisky,

1389
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: You this is the guy that you scouted and said

1390
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: he can be it with this great class come he

1391
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: thought he was better than Patrick mahone exactly, and I

1392
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: just that's there's a lingering sort of feeling of to

1393
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 1: see like a little concerned if I'm a Bearrass fan.

1394
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: Outside of a fascinating defense, I was thinking about you know,

1395
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: sometimes I try to bring things back, thinking of bringing

1396
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: something back. You ready? Ready? Is it? Okay? Let's go?

1397
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: What do you want to guess? It's somehow Josh Rosen

1398
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: really ready? That bears No, it's not't been doing that

1399
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: on this? How about this? Hoout? This? It bringing those back?

1400
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 1: Just know that that's another phrase that has not gone

1401
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: away for it to come back, it's not gone away

1402
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 1: long enough. Why did we think about putting Josh Rosen

1403
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: in down two points with just over two minutes left.

1404
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of criticism like, oh, you're putting

1405
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: in such a bad spot. What are you talking about?

1406
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford was dreadful for three straight quarters. Give the

1407
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: kid a shot. He's gonna be startings no problems. What

1408
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: wrong with that? You tried to give your team a

1409
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,560
Speaker 1: spark because Bradford was a lifeless You have to do

1410
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: this every time some a quarterback comes into a game,

1411
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: like examine every fast. I think it's fine, didn't right out?

1412
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: He got the guy got yanked because he deserved to

1413
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: get yanked, and they put in the rookie. You could

1414
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: have beat the Bears. Sto't get up set about it.

1415
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: It just was Look at Baker Mayfield in Cleveland. You

1416
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: put the kids in that you think could be the

1417
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: friends that worked out pretty well. Whatever, Bro, I'm saying,

1418
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: no unnecessary mark. Now I'm putting I'm pushing back my

1419
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: reading of your long form one more week. Oh it

1420
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 1: will survive. Let's move on, stops. Looks to the end zone,

1421
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: fire down the medal of up to fourteen days? Is

1422
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: it not? Yes? Show me this official? Yes. Earl Thomas

1423
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: very Steve rab with the call k I r O.

1424
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas's fourth quarter interception is second of the game.

1425
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Huge play both of them, Sea over the cow Boys.

1426
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: Thomas now has three picks in three weeks despite missing

1427
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: all the training camp in the preseason during a contract holdout,

1428
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 1: and now, from what we're understanding, a regular season hold

1429
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: in whatever that means anyway, West Both teams finished with

1430
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: about three yards of total offense, but Seattle gotta win.

1431
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:19,680
Speaker 1: They desperately needed. I think this is creative, Like if

1432
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: the NFL players aren't gonna get guaranteed contracts, and you're

1433
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 1: as good as Earl Thomas is, and you've meant as

1434
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: much to that franchise as he is, and you don't

1435
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,560
Speaker 1: want to pay him. He's having to hold in. He

1436
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: doesn't want to put his body in danger during the week,

1437
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 1: he said after the game, even if I have a headache,

1438
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: if I'm not I'm not practicing. And then he goes

1439
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 1: out and he's the best player on the field during

1440
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 1: the game. Everyone seemed to no one seemed to have

1441
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 1: a problem with it, at least during the game. Even

1442
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: the coaches are you know, everyone's everybody should have a

1443
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: holding nobody needs to practice. No, I don't. I think

1444
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: it's it's all let's all break all the rules. Okay, whatever,

1445
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 1: pay him? Why don't they trade him? There? I do

1446
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 1: like that phrase holding though, I think like I would say,

1447
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: he's sleep in the bed with yoga on. No, Like,

1448
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: what what does this? What is it? What? What didn't

1449
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: you prefer this? Then Bell holding out? Like, to me,

1450
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: at least he's showing up there on game day. He's

1451
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,879
Speaker 1: either he's getting creative. I mean, it's kind of amazing

1452
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: that he did this in the week that they were

1453
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: playing against the Cowboys, that he picks off two passes

1454
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, and then he gestures to the Cowboys

1455
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,799
Speaker 1: sideline after one of the picks, which was basically a gesture.

1456
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 1: He explained as if you wanted to trade me and

1457
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: extend me, you should have done it. And I'm just like, yeah,

1458
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas is alright, don just a little bit though,

1459
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: because number one, Earl Thomas and leve Bell are not

1460
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 1: the same situation. But I don't want to see leve Bell,

1461
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: who was a malcontent at this point, alright, I just

1462
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 1: don't like the way that I don't like the whole

1463
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: locker room there to begin with it. Leve Bell his

1464
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 1: solution is to simply give zero effort during the week

1465
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: then rolling on game day. No no, no, I'm talking,

1466
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: and we're saying, like extending this to leve Bell. Earl Thomas,

1467
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: I think like it's someone when they completely redid the

1468
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 1: whole team, Earl Thomas probably needed to go. I always

1469
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 1: thought they probably should have traded him and gotten this

1470
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: thing done. Let Bell, I don't agree with the idea

1471
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: that we give him. Oh you just rest for six stays.

1472
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: Here's an argument though, just because the Earl Thomas thing

1473
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 1: is fascinating. There's a strong argument he's the greatest player

1474
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: in franchise history and he's still playing great. So it's

1475
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: a unique situation. It's not your normal player anything else

1476
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: in the game. Well, aw Boys offense is a mess.

1477
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,520
Speaker 1: Their offensive line got out played by the Seathawks perennially

1478
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 1: beleaguered offensive line Dak Prescott, I don't think it's going

1479
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: over a five yards and five straight starts and the receivers.

1480
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 1: You know, this isn't breaking any ground, but they're just

1481
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: not good. They went out and paid Alan Hearns, they

1482
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 1: paid Terence Williams, and those guys aren't even part of

1483
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: the offense. Really. They have a combined sixty nine yards

1484
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: and I think they're taking up about eleven or twelve million.

1485
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are saying one team in this league is

1486
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: going to the title of the most boring offense watch,

1487
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: and we are surging towards that type. Like would you

1488
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 1: guys be cool if Erico is upset about her her

1489
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 1: working situation and said, I'll be there for the podcast,

1490
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: for the three shows, and maybe for the Twitter show,

1491
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to be there for any of

1492
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: the pre production days. I won't help you with anything

1493
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 1: else because I'm upset with management. You have an issue

1494
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 1: with that. If she was four years, that would help

1495
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:26,760
Speaker 1: her case at least, wait the greatest I'm saying if

1496
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 1: she had put I'm saying, if she had put in

1497
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 1: three years where she was the best performer at her

1498
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: job in the entire and the best in this you

1499
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: are great. But I'm just saying it's so easy for

1500
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 1: people to automatically side with the player because that's like

1501
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 1: the the chivalrous thing to do. It seems to do

1502
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: in our in our business, but sometimes it just strikes

1503
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: me as overly cold business decisions that are put at

1504
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: the expense of your teammates. And that's how this problem

1505
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: trying to parallel to us, is that our game day

1506
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: is seven days a week. Yeah, we never turn off.

1507
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: We have endless shows and list media responsibilities. You can't

1508
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: you can't go dark six days a week like an

1509
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: NFL player. This game was a reminder I think it's

1510
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 1: still gonna be tough to go to Seattle and win,

1511
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: and that they have enough pieces on defense I think

1512
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: to give people problems. Brawley McDougald has been playing great

1513
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,839
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner was back out there. You can't just cross

1514
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: them off. I feel like for the season well, especially

1515
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: when you have the Cowboys offensive Suddenly you know the

1516
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: Packers rolling with the Cowboys offense, they will have a

1517
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 1: tough time winning. There's a good start for the Seahawks.

1518
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,719
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens next week to Sunday Night football.

1519
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,919
Speaker 1: From the thirty three yard line on a roll Stafford

1520
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:42,560
Speaker 1: deep touchdown, Marvin Jones look like Gilmore was almost expecting it,

1521
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: and the speed of Marvin Jones made him pay. Chris

1522
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: Collinsworth and Al Michael's with the call for NBC. Matt

1523
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: Stafford through two touchdown passes and the Detroit Lions get

1524
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: a one hundred yard Russian game at a carry on Johnson, Yes, sir,

1525
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: the first since two thousand, my goodness. Add to that

1526
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: a great defensive showing by the Lions and they get

1527
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: their first win of the season over the visiting New

1528
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:22,679
Speaker 1: England Patriots. Uh. Some surprises on Sunday Night. Greg Rosethal

1529
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 1: h surprises throughout Sunday and here was another one. The

1530
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 1: Lions just looking like the better team from kickoff. So

1531
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: this is another level of surprise that they held the

1532
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: Patriots to two hundred nine yards from scrimmage. I certainly

1533
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 1: you can imagine before the game, there's scenarios. Certainly the

1534
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: Lions can win this game, but to totally dominate it,

1535
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 1: especially defensively, just has me thinking back to last week's

1536
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: game between the Lions and the fort And I know,

1537
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: if you look at the box score and said the

1538
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 1: Lions gave up thirty points, there was a defensive score there.

1539
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia had Jimmy g scrambled last week, and he

1540
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady and the Patriots receivers pretty scrambled today.

1541
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: They just weren't finding open receivers. And the ones that

1542
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: he did find with drops or me, he made bad throws.

1543
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead. Well, I just thought down the stretch when

1544
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: you were were all sitting here watching this game, and

1545
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 1: I'll just played right through it. You know what, I'm

1546
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: not gonna get upset of Erica because she's struggling tonight.

1547
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 1: This is this is her team, and I will be

1548
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: nothing but nice to you. And although I did notice,

1549
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: and I don't blame you at all, an extra sort

1550
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: of glee and and and bounce and enjoyment of the

1551
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: second half watching that game because you have sandwiches on

1552
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 1: the line for the Patriots demise, and like most of America,

1553
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I think you would like to see a different Patriots story.

1554
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: It's understanding a different season. It's an unpredictable start to

1555
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: the season overall, and it's encased in this game where

1556
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: the final four possessions for New England or punt, punt,

1557
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: interception and knocked out on downs. This game could have

1558
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: gone on for eight more hours and there wouldn't have

1559
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 1: been a comeback. Nothing was working, nobody's getting open, they're

1560
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,839
Speaker 1: all fence. Has nobody except Gronk who can beat man coverage.

1561
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: They desperately need Edelman and Josh Gordon and who knows

1562
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get from John And all right, let's

1563
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:12,720
Speaker 1: put this in this perspective because Patriots struggles in September

1564
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: have happened through the years. They have lost two games

1565
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: in a row. That is unusual, uh, in the recent

1566
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: history of Belichick and Brady, But they've never been one

1567
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: in two with Brady. They've never been one of two.

1568
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: So this is interesting ground. And what's gonna happen now.

1569
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: Of course, in the New England area on w e

1570
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 1: I and the local radio, everyone's gonna go nuts that

1571
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: they don't have enough weapons and then they don't fall,

1572
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: guys falling an NFL network and ESPN and everybody's gonna

1573
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: go nuts for a whole week. What's wrong with the Patriots?

1574
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: How do the Patriots get right? And if history tells

1575
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: us anything, they'll just start steamrolling teams eventually. But it

1576
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 1: does seem like this team has a lot of work

1577
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: to do right now. They don't seem like to me

1578
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: they are nearly as dire straits as everybody last year

1579
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: wondering if they have the worst defense in the league

1580
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: after three games the two thousand and fourteen season, when

1581
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs took him to the wood shed and everybody

1582
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 1: people in that press conference asked Bill Belichick if he

1583
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: was gonna bench Tom Brady Like this team, to me,

1584
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: does not feel like it's as much dangerous those to

1585
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: those two teams were. They they have a lot of problems,

1586
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 1: though they can't pick up a third and one. The

1587
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,600
Speaker 1: equation going into the year was that the defense is

1588
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna need to be better because you're gonna start out

1589
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: the season slow offensively. I think they're slower than they

1590
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: would have expected, certainly in this game, but I think

1591
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: Patricia was a huge part of that. But the key

1592
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: is that the defense can't get off the field. They're

1593
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: they're not bringing a lot to the table. And I've

1594
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: talked with you before the game even started, Dan that

1595
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: they were missing three defensive starters, including their best to

1596
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 1: win Trey Flowers, and that was gonna be a factor.

1597
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: And this is a team with a smaller margin for error.

1598
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna need to win close games. They're

1599
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna need to figure out, you know, different ways how

1600
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 1: they won games early on last decade, and so far

1601
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: they're not coming up with anything. I mean, we know

1602
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: that New England spends the first constantly adjusting and figuring

1603
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 1: out who they are, but this is one of the

1604
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: few even in those other years, you still see the pieces.

1605
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:09,600
Speaker 1: I look at this New England offense right now and

1606
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: it lacks identity. But what other team in the league says,

1607
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,560
Speaker 1: we'll soon have Julian Edelman and by the way, we

1608
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: just get we just got Josh Gordon for like a

1609
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: basket of fruit. And by the way, he could be

1610
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: dominant too. So it's like you're adding to kepe me.

1611
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: Those are two huge if I mean I thought he

1612
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: looked good in the preseason. I know we're not allowed

1613
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:36,679
Speaker 1: to point to that, but you know, Josh Gordon's Josh Gordon.

1614
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon is an if if he can't get on

1615
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: the field. I'm just saying if, but if if we're

1616
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 1: talking about the overall experience of Josh Gordon, but if

1617
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: he's if he's plugged in any places week to week.

1618
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 1: He is not an if he is a dominant player.

1619
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: But those are two ifs in the sense of I

1620
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: think the Patriots need help on offense, and you need one,

1621
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 1: if not both of those guys to be them at

1622
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: their themselves, at their best. So I think the Patriots

1623
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: it is a bit of an uneasy time. I think

1624
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 1: on the throne of sleeves sky is not falling. I'm

1625
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 1: not like like rubbing my hands together like a villain

1626
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 1: saying this is eight and eight season, but I think

1627
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: this is a little bit of a shaky start and

1628
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. Here's what I'd say

1629
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: that Patriots fans except a different type of season, Like

1630
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,680
Speaker 1: maybe I I almost I almost feel guilty maybe of

1631
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 1: how many incredibly dominant you know, by years that they've had.

1632
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: But there are all sorts of different ways to have

1633
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: football seasons, and it's not the end of the world

1634
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: if they are three and three or their four and

1635
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: four and they're figuring out and they try to get

1636
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: deep into the playoffs a different way because as a

1637
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: Patriots fan, not a lot of it matters really except

1638
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's a very spoiled way to look at it.

1639
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: But it's a long season, and it's okay if you're

1640
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 1: not looking too great for seven, eight, nine weeks, even

1641
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: if you can end up closing. They just you know,

1642
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: they have a lot to figure out. Are you okay, Erica?

1643
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: That Erica had a moderate Twitter melt down during the game.

1644
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: Should we watched her through the glass? Watched the game?

1645
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:04,800
Speaker 1: Obviously a very emotional Patriots fan. Do you we're gonna

1646
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 1: give you the floor? Do you want to care to

1647
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 1: make a statement or deliver some type of admissive to

1648
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 1: the audience. I mean, the Lions outplayed us on both

1649
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. MA Patricia outcoached us. Belichick Belichick.

1650
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: Belichick has been out coached every game since the Divisional

1651
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 1: round of last year's playoffs. WHOA why don't you hit

1652
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of burner? Boats. So I mean that take

1653
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: was so hot. It was a little too hot. I

1654
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 1: feel like you're saying Doug Moron out coached them in

1655
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game. Entering the game, I

1656
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: love that take. Maybe not throughout the game, but what's

1657
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 1: happening feels like they had a better game plan. Brian

1658
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: coached them in tweet that and watch it take off

1659
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 1: into Scott. I'm not what what was it that you

1660
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,599
Speaker 1: loved about bell O'Brien's Week one. I didn't love anything.

1661
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that to look at Belicheck and to

1662
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: look at Bill Belichick, it's just the van had the

1663
01:21:55,760 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 1: wrong gradual decline. Maybe it's Belichick. Tom Brady, He's a

1664
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 1: balloon there on a deep all. The fourth quarter of

1665
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: this game made me think that maybe I'm finally on

1666
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: the right track. Brady hasn't had a good three games,

1667
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: and I think that that is the most concerning part

1668
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 1: of it. Even Week one, where where he moved the

1669
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: ball and had an overall good game, he had six

1670
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 1: or seven incompletes, just inaccurate throws, which you don't see

1671
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: from him. He has not been accurate. I think it

1672
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: does have to do with the pieces around him. But

1673
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: when is the last time we were sitting here? You're

1674
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: mining deep into the second half he has ninety yards

1675
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: passing crazy, Yeah, you could go back. I don't even

1676
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: know if it's ever happened about the Dolphins game in

1677
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: December last year. That wasn't quite as bad, but you're right,

1678
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 1: it was similar. Happens to the Lions who got off

1679
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 1: the mat and Matt Patricia, who really has weather to

1680
01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: storm here to start his career, that had to feel good.

1681
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 1: I think he probably was hoping that Belichick would maybe

1682
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: give him a little bit of a longer hug, maybe

1683
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:51,640
Speaker 1: say something encouraging or something congratulatory. But Bill is not

1684
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 1: going to do that because Bill is not that type

1685
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: of guy. That's not how and then walk off whatever. Bill,

1686
01:22:57,040 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: But Matt Patricia, your boy, your student, actually beat the

1687
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: picture of the teacher. It's a massive win for them,

1688
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: who shouldn't be thinking their seasons over by any means.

1689
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: Suddenly you're one and two. Suddenly the Giants feel differently

1690
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,720
Speaker 1: about their season. Suddenly the Bills feel differently. It's like

1691
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: it's not too early to get off. Are these Lions

1692
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: veterans who were so peaked about having to work hard

1693
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,560
Speaker 1: and suddenly a practice is a little tougher. Are we

1694
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: are we thinking maybe they're starting to wake up to

1695
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: this world? Will calm down. You can't expect football players

1696
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:29,719
Speaker 1: to run mark the Bears, great defense, questionable quarterback situation,

1697
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 1: first place around the NFL podcast, the Packers a suspect

1698
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 1: skill corps and also a quarterback that's all beat up,

1699
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: and the Vikings just got waxed at home by the Bills.

1700
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: NFC North is not a closed book. I'm jack all right. Now,

1701
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,720
Speaker 1: next time you hear from us, we'll be uh, you'll

1702
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: see us, and please do all we ask with peace

1703
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: and love, is that you give our Twitter show a chance.

1704
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: I know it's different than the audio format and all that,

1705
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 1: but it's our Tuesday, one thirty Pacific, four thirty Eastern. Uh,

1706
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: check us out. We'll have Reggie Bush with us. I'm

1707
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: sure we'll touch on whether he's angry that Kerry On

1708
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: Johnson has now taken the torch five years later as

1709
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: the last one thousand yard rusher for the Ones. I'm

1710
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: sure by about it. Oh yeah, d oh my god,

1711
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: what a horrible just like eighty other things to brag about.

1712
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 1: I think it's fine. So Touch bases Reggie on that,

1713
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: but thank you to everyone for listening. People should really

1714
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: check out Mark's long form. I know we've we've mentioned

1715
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 1: a little bit, but it for anyone that's a big

1716
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:33,839
Speaker 1: enough fan to listen to this show. It really connected

1717
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: with me just growing up being a fan, and I

1718
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,759
Speaker 1: think it's gonna do that with anyone that that listens

1719
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: to it. So I think if you haven't checked it out,

1720
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: please do. I will. I just need a little direct

1721
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't really directed a Dan that was more listeners.

1722
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: I knew Dan was sitting it out for a few weeks,

1723
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: just about ten to twelve days. All right, Kay, okay,

1724
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: let's go. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I was a jerk

1725
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 1: to you. Yeah. No, she's hurt. Okay, that completely hates us.

1726
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,679
Speaker 1: Dan hands is signing off for Quiet Storm, the Mailman,

1727
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: the old Boss. I'm Ricky, Hollywood. She's had better nights.

1728
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:13,760
