1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What's up straight Fire, Fam, 2 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Monday, September twentieth, 3 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: Another chaotic, crazy heart stopping Sunday in the NFL. I 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: don't I don't know about you, guys, but the tension 5 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: level just goes so through the roof on Sundays if 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: you're like me sitting around all day watching football. Now, 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: I did have to take a detour during the afternoon games. 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: Son had a soccer game. Took him left after the 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: first quarter to took my daughter to her game. All 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: the while I'm watching Red Zone on my phone, and um, 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: it's not the same experience because you're not when you're 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: when you're usually watching at home, you gotta follow on 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: social in addition to watching and fantasy and gambling, and 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: when you're watching Red Zone on the phone, you can't 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: do all of it. So I get home just in 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: time for the fourth quarter of Vite Kings and Seattle Tennessee. 17 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: So it was great, but it's it's funny like everything 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: that happened early on Sunday. I don't know about you guys, 19 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: how you feel, but it was all wiped out because 20 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: of the absolute cluster that was Ravens Chiefs. I still 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: cannot believe last night's call. John Harbaugh screaming from the 22 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: sideline and Lamar Jackson on fourth. Then was the fourth 23 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: and two, fourth and three? Lamar, do you want to 24 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: go for it? Lamar? I mean you can't see him, 25 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: but obviously he either nodded or shouted back hell yeah 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: or fya or whatever he said. And they line up 27 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: and Lamar takes it, and they get it in their 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: own territory. The balsiest call you will see. I don't know, 29 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: maybe this season, you know, it's you could say dumb. 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: People have done dumb things like Zach Taylor going forward 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: as their own own thirty yard line up up about 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: a one or two touchdowns. It ended up going to overtime. 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: But this was against Mahomes and the Chiefs, and they 34 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: didn't want to give him. Homes the ball back even 35 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: though he had no time out, he would have probably 36 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: had to get in field goal range with maybe four plays, 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: three plays, depending on how much time went off the clock. 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: And my Homes didn't even get a chance. And folks, 39 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, I'm stunned. I am stunned 40 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City loss, first Mahomes defeat in September in his career, 41 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: first lost in September for Andy Reid, I believe in 42 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: four years. Uh. And it's not like Mahomes was bad. 43 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: The Chiefs were not awful. The defense was quite bad, 44 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: but they averaged eight point three yard per play. They 45 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: moved the ball up and down the field. The problem, 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: of course, is the one way, well one of two 47 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: ways you can be Pat Mahomes. One is you don't 48 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: let him have the football, which is what the Ravens did. 49 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: And basically the Chiefs had the ball twice in the 50 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. The Ravens had at eight minute drive. Uh. 51 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: Lamar flipping into the end zoe, no taunting flag and sorry, 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do fifteen minutes on the taunting rule, 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: which is obviously garbage, but it helped the Tennessee Titans 54 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: get a cover and ultimately a win. Actually pretty crazy, 55 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: the taunting rule, let's be on. It's total garbage and 56 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: it just adds the next level of frustrated nous if 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: you're gambling, because Lamar Jackson flipping into the end zone 58 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: is not taunting, but after you break up a pass 59 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: and you stand up and look at the guy. They 60 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: can deem that taunting. I don't understand. I mean, it's 61 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: just it doesn't kind of make sense. It doesn't seem fair. 62 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: But um, here we are taunting in the NFL. It 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: needs to be fixed. Obviously. That will be one of 64 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: the big flashpoints this week in the NFL. That would 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: be one. The other one would be like is Lamar 66 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: versus Mahomes rivalry. Folks. I don't know if you realize 67 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 1: how close Lamar Jackson was to staring at oh and two. 68 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: Now they have the Lions this week, which is pretty 69 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: much a buy for everybody. Um, but they were close 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: to looking at it O and two and we talked 71 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: about it after the loss to the Raiders. The schedule 72 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: is difficult, Lamar is looking for a big contract. The 73 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: injuries are mounting. They lost two more starters on defense 74 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: during the Chiefs game. And you know I tweeted this. 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: I think it was in the third quarter after the 76 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey incredible uh catch and just lumber That's what 77 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: he was doing. He was lumbering towards the end zone 78 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: slowly and the Ravens just missed a ton of tackles. 79 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: By the way, tackling in the NFL was awful yesterday. 80 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets must have let Damian Harris run 81 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: through seven tackles on the touchdown run. Just very shoddy. 82 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: And I don't know if it has to do with 83 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: UM teams being depleted due to injury, but this does 84 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: not look like a Ravens team. John Harball's teams are 85 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: always tough, great tacklers. You can't get by their linebackers, 86 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: their secondaries are sure like. I mean, they just look 87 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: terrible against the Chiefs. I mean DeMarcus Robinson, who was 88 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: the other guy bright Byron Pringle catch and run they 89 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: must have had. I don't know how what their yards 90 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: after catch was. Maybe rob g can bring that up. 91 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: But the Chiefs just we're basically going were and doing 92 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: whatever they wanted, and Tyreek Kill did nothing. This quick 93 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: fantasy note, I'm trailing by like twenty two. I have Kelsey, 94 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: he has Tyreek Hill. I write it off. All of 95 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, Kelsey gets that touched out him within three 96 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: Tyree Kills done nothing, and then of course Chiefs don't 97 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: get the ball back, which killed me. But um, this 98 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: is just not a good Ravens team. I mean they'll 99 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: take the victory. Obviously. This is one of those huge 100 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: splits where the entire public is betting on the Kansas 101 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Everybody. I think it was like the tickets 102 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs Ravens win and you just you always 103 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: see that on the Sunday Night Chase game, right the public. Oh, 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: I've lost a lot today, I'm chasing. I gotta take 105 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: the favorite. And that didn't work out and the house 106 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: cleaned up again. Just a a bizarre weekend. I don't know. Um. 107 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: If I give Rob you like ten minutes to just 108 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: rant about his Raiders and their win, I'm gonna I'll 109 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: talk about Pittsburgh in a second. But this whole I 110 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: just want to put a button on it. There is 111 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: no rivalry between Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes. Are the 112 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: game's great, Oh yeah they are. They are fun as 113 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: hell from a viewing perspective, they are thrilling without question, 114 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: every year the game is fun. But is it a rivalry. 115 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: At no point did anybody think, hey man, I think 116 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens canna win this. It's just not the reality. 117 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: The Chiefs didn't not trail until there were three minutes 118 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: and fourteen seconds left in the game, Chiefs were either 119 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: winning or tied the entire way. They just again. Ravens 120 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: played keep away. Final three possessions for the Chiefs. You 121 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: had the Mahomes getting dragged down, throws a bad pass 122 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: that was picked off. Ravens told the ball for eight minutes. 123 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs drive the ball and just like the Patriots last week, 124 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: where Damian Harris is inside the ten about to get 125 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: it win, probably covered the spread and he fumbles well. 126 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire gets stripped by the rookie oh Way, 127 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: the kid from Penn State. Ravens recover and the Chiefs 128 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: never get the ball back. And one of the big 129 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: stats that is gonna be a massive talking point all 130 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: day today is the situation with Kansas City and covering 131 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: the spread. Remember this team was a juggernaut destroying folks 132 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: in when Mahomes was the m v P. The Chiefs 133 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: are now one eleven and one against the spread in 134 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: their last third team games, one eleven and one. Are 135 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: they playing under the level of competition? No. My spicy 136 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: take here is that the league is so well set 137 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: up to bring everyone back to the pack right the 138 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: second you start to realize, Oh, I've got a franchise quarterback. 139 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: I've got to set up to pay him. I gotta 140 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: lose the left tackle here, I gotta lose a guard here, 141 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta let this wide receiver go and 142 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: outgoes one of my defensive ends, and then I lose 143 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: a cornerback. And the league is really set up for 144 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: parody and the Chiefs. What you're seeing is they're coming 145 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: back to the pack. From a point spread perspective, there's 146 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: still the best team in the league, although I guess 147 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: right now you'd have to go Tampa one right Kansas 148 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: City to um. But the league is so well set 149 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: up for parody and nobody running away and having a 150 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: totally dominant run like the Chiefs have had a good run. 151 00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: They've been to three straight Super Bowls, and I just, oh, no, 152 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but they've been to two straight Super Bowls. 153 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: Right they lost they won the year prior, and they 154 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: lost to the a f C title game three years 155 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: ago to the Patriots. It's gonna be difficult to get back. 156 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: There's still the class of the a f C. But 157 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: when you look at a team like the Chargers, who 158 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: will get too shortly um, they are going to be there. 159 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns are on the come up. I don't 160 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: know if you guys have been paying attention to Cleveland 161 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: Browns are for real. They kind of slept walk through 162 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: their win. But they're good. Hell Rob G's Raiders a 163 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: little lucky. Hell yeah, can this continue? I have a 164 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: feeling they're gonna be three and oh if you look 165 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 1: at the schedule. I don't think they're particularly good, though 166 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: Derek Carr has been amazing. They got a very lucky 167 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: with what happened to the Steelers on the defensive line. 168 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: I mean, losing two starters in the first half. Yikes, 169 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: and then cars are shred of the secondary. Um so, 170 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: I I still think Kansas City is the class of 171 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: the a f C, but just they're gonna be there 172 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: are gonna be some growing pains. I also want to 173 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: just wrap it up by saying, and Rob you can 174 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: feel free to disagree. I don't think Baltimore is particularly good. Um. 175 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson had an otherworldly game two nine yards passing 176 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: hundred and seven on the ground, but they were playing 177 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: comeback the entire game and that's not sustainable over the 178 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: course of the season. The way these guys have have 179 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: taken injuries. Um, they had two turnovers in the first 180 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: half to get in a hole, but in the red 181 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: zone four for four. You get the red zone four 182 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: times and always deliver, you're gonna have a chance to win. Um. 183 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: I still just don't think this is a rivalry just 184 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: because Lamar's beat Mahomes once. I don't know if you 185 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: think Lamar's the second best quarterback in the league. You know, 186 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: when it was Brady vers Peyton, it was pretty clear 187 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: those guys were one and two. I don't think anybody 188 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: would disagree with that that was a rivalry. This has 189 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: to make the team's are rivalry. But head to head 190 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: there's it's don't matter, no contest. Patrick Mahomes way better 191 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: quarterback than Lamar Jackson. We don't even know if the 192 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna make Labar their friends as quarterback. Great 193 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: regular season quarterback, super talented, fun, exciting, but he's not 194 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: anywhere near Mahomes level. I don't know. Do you see 195 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: it the same way? Oh? Yeah? One? And actually, coming 196 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: away from that game, I was less impressed by what 197 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: I saw from Baltimore. Even though I do disagree with you, 198 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: I think they are a good team, and I think 199 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: that a lot of the doom and gloom that you 200 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: and I painted earlier in the week last week, after 201 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: that Monday Night lost maybe a little bit premature, because 202 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: looking at their schedule now, I mean Detroit, Denver, Indie, 203 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: their next three. Neither one of those three teams can 204 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: score that well as much as the Raiders and the 205 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs can. So I think they'll be able to win 206 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: those three games for sure. But um, you know, I 207 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: came away with it, came away from that game even 208 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: more impressed by Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Now, their 209 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: defense is terrible. I'm not going to say that it's not, 210 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: but offensively, they are just at a different level than 211 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: everybody else. I mean, Patrick Mahomes, including last night, has 212 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: not only lost nine regular season games in his career. 213 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: In those nine games, the opposition averages thirty six points. 214 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: So the only way that you're going to beat that 215 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: him is you're gonna have to outscore them. You're gonna 216 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: have to have one of these Lamar Jackson, what is this? 217 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: You know he's done it what four times now? Two 218 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: yards passing one hundre yards rushing like this isn't something 219 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: that he does very often. He'll do it once every 220 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: ten games or so. You need that kind of performance 221 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: to beat these guys in the regular season. You need 222 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: to have a Jared Goff fifty point game on Thursday 223 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: Night Football to beat them. You need something crazy to 224 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: keep up with Pat Mommes. Because Pat my Homes consistently, 225 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna get you thirty five points a game. And 226 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: I like that you said that there was no real 227 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: rival between them, because I agree. And I also think 228 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: that the fact that Lamar Jackson the most recent unanimous 229 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: m v P, the second time only in history, the 230 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: guy who was going to rewrite the record books in 231 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: a way that we thought Mike Vick would but it wasn't. 232 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's that guy, and you and I don't even 233 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: see them on the same plane. That says so much 234 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: about what Pat Mahomes is and how talented he is 235 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: and how great he is, that we're looking at guys 236 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: who are very very good, I mean, historically great numbers wise, 237 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson, and we don't see the might eye 238 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, listen, it's okay. And here's the problem. 239 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: People are gonna hear this. I'm sure somebody will clip 240 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: off something and it'll go on the Fox Sports UH 241 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: calendar or whatever, and people are gonna say, oh, you hater, 242 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: you don't like Lamar Jackson. No, I like Lamar Jackson. 243 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: Of course I love him. When I take him over 244 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, No, I'll take Kyler Murray and the heartbeat uh, 245 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. We saw that on two interceptions in the 246 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: first half, the pick six. I know we could say 247 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: Watkins fell down whatever. Lamar cost him the game against 248 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: the Raiders with a fumble in the fourth of fumble 249 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: in overtime. He's gonna be a roller coaster ride, and 250 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: we've seen in the playoffs to struggles he's very limited 251 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: from a passing perspective. But that doesn't mean I don't 252 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: like that guy. I like Lamar Jackson, easy to root for, 253 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: but I'm taking Kyler Murray over him in a heartbeat. 254 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, Kyler Murray is putting up video 255 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: game numbers in Arizona, and I think if you're doing 256 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: a straw poll for m v P, obviously Tom Brady's 257 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: gotta be in the mix. But Kyler Murray through two games, 258 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: se completions, seven touchdowns, ten boy one yards per tempt 259 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and by the way, two touchdowns rushing fifty 260 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: one yards. I mean, the guys just making plays happen 261 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: at a ridiculous level. I think he leads the league 262 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: in passer rating so far. Um, but that that's people 263 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: are gonna take that as a knock. Oh, you would 264 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: take uh, Kyler Murray over Lamar Jackson, But that's not 265 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 1: the reality, right, I mean, Rob, I would think you 266 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: would be in agreement with me. Yes, Kyler small, but 267 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna win from the pocket. I don't know if 268 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson can. Yeah, I mean long term, you definitely 269 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: would rather have Kyler Murray. Um. If it's just about 270 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: winning one game, though, I'd probably take Lamar Jackson. Well, 271 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: is it a playoff game. It's just that, you know 272 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: Lamar his the isle of play is very unique and 273 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: you can't run it against every team. I think we've 274 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: learned that, Like, if you're going against an explosive offense, 275 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: it's really tough to run that style of play. Fox 276 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 277 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot 278 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app. Search f 279 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: s R to listen live. I mean, we saw the 280 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: Browns run all over the Chiefs. We've now seen the 281 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: Ravens run all over the Chiefs. Uh, this week, are 282 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: we gonna see the Chargers run all over the Chiefs? 283 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: Like I I know that this is gonna sound crazy, 284 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: but I already like the Chargers this week against the 285 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: spread betting on Kansas City right now. You can't do it. 286 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: You just can't. They're not covering the spread. The defense 287 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: is garbage. And oh, by the way, people who want 288 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: to say all the Chargers are joked. They lost to 289 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. This is funny. One of my best bets 290 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports. I wrote a piece was over fifty 291 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: five in Chargers Cowboys, And I'm sure you guys saw 292 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: the final score twenty seven team right, ah, Jason way 293 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: off thirty seven time out. Look at the box score. 294 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: The Chargers did not punt the football the entire game. 295 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: Huh over eight hundred yards of total offense, one punt 296 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: in the entire game, and it was seen. Why why 297 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: you could say coaching, I could say scrubs in the 298 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: red zone. You could say awful, horrible, terrible flag on 299 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. He was down. I mean the consistency or 300 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: lack thereof Rob. That call where they said Michael Parsons 301 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: sack Herbert back at like the twenty three or whatever 302 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: it was, it was a joke, horrible, Okay, Herbert got 303 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: to pass off. Now go look at what happened with 304 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: Seattle Russell West. Russell Wilson trying to avoid a sack, 305 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: goes into his end zone, is going down and throws 306 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: the ball away and they say, no, he's down at 307 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: the one yard line. What I mean if you anybody 308 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: saw that Russell Wilson was safety down that plane and 309 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: they just gave him the benefit of the doubt. The 310 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: refereeing was so inconsistent and poor. I don't know. That 311 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: was one of my other big takeaways. This is the 312 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: reference the taunting garbage um. The refereeing was bad. Uh. 313 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: The injuries, I mean, when do we start talking about too? Rob. 314 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: I wanted to open the open the pod guys with 315 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: the first call Miami should make Monday morning is not 316 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: to Cam Newton. It's to the Texans and Deshaun Watson 317 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: is he available? What can can can we do anything? 318 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: Can we can we get some work here? Because Tah 319 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: who was injured at Alabama and was pulled a couple 320 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: of times. Last year, uh Is already injured. Was first quarter, 321 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: took a hit or two to the ribs from the 322 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and that's a wrap for to a card 323 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: it off. They had no chance. I mean, the Buffalo 324 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: defense is nothing great. Jacoby Brissette was a comedy of 325 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: errors back there in the pocket. I'm guessing Cam Newton 326 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: will get a call from Miami, but I think the 327 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: move should be, let's go after Deshaun Watson. You've gotta 328 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: make a play for him. Like if Miami thinks, hey, 329 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: we've got a team that can contend. We beat the Patriots, Um, 330 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: we're a quarterback away, then you've gotta call Watson. I 331 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: don't know what that will do from a league perspective, 332 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: Like Rob, what does the league do if the Houston 333 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: Texans trade him to Miami and Miami says, well, I 334 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: know the Texans didn't play him, but he's healthy, we're 335 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: starting him. What What does the league do? Can they 336 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: hold him out? They better not? What what do they do? 337 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: Can they have already set the president Russian as they 338 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: decided that they were not going to throw him on 339 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: the Commissioners example lists. They set these wheels in motion. 340 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: They set it up for somebody to lose a quarterback 341 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: mid season, in this case Miami, and for Houston to 342 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: be able to finally get those three first rounders and 343 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: three second rounders or whatever combination. Whatever reporter that you follow. 344 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: As soon as the NFL decided not to put on 345 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: the commissioners example list, they set this up to happen. 346 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: All right, if the NFL knew what they were doing, 347 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: or even just followed the precedent that they set for 348 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: themselves five six years ago. You know, with Tom Brady, 349 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: he would have been on that list already, just sitting 350 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: there getting paid. But you know what, while this is 351 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: going on, this is a serious investigation, we're gonna to 352 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: pay you to cit aside. And instead they decide, well, 353 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: you know this is still playing out, we don't want 354 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: to rush the judgment. I don't know why they decided 355 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: to give Deshaun Watson at his twenty plus sexual assault 356 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: charges the benefit of the doubt. But Tom, hold they charge. 357 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: I think there's only three charges in the rest allegations. Allegations, 358 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: But Tom Brady deflating Football's no, no, no, we we 359 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: definitely got to spend this guy. We're not going to 360 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: just just to give you a perspective on how bad 361 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: by Amy was. Obviously they got shut out. I was 362 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: facing the Buffalo Bills in two fantasy leagues. Unbelievable, so 363 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: pissed um. They did not have one explosive play and 364 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: explosive plays over twenty yards all day, not one zero 365 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: Russia's explosive zero passes. It was all checked down stuff. 366 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: They were clearly not ready. And I don't know, guys, 367 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if you're trotting out Jacoby Brissette, he 368 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: was sacked four times next week. Uh, you're gonna some problems. 369 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: This is just not a winning solution. I think you've 370 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: got to call you gotta call Houston now. I don't 371 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: know how the reaction will be among the fan base 372 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: or certain media outlets, but I bring this up because 373 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins traveled to Vegas to face Rob G's 374 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: Raiders in what's suddenly like a big showdown, and the 375 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: Raiders are too o um. I don't want to take 376 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: the shine away Rob from your Raiders. A car was splendid. 377 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: Once again, I think against the Ravens and Steelers, historically 378 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: good defenses. He has been nails. Um Car has to 379 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: be in the m v P discussion again, it's two weeks, 380 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Rob. You know Peyton Barber, I'm like, Peyton Barber, 381 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: is that the white dude from the Tampa Bay Bucks. 382 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: He's still in the league. No, I got that wrong. 383 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: That was Peyton hillis right. Yeah, So Peyton Barber was 384 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: on the Washington practice squad earlier this month. He had 385 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: thirteen carries for Raiders. For the Raiders, no, Josh Jacobs, 386 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: I guess there's no trust in Kenyan Drake um and 387 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: they just said, you know what, we're gonna fling it 388 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: all over the field. And as soon as the big 389 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: kid on the defensive line 'allu Alu Lalu is that 390 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: his name? He went down with a broken ankle and 391 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: then what who remember was holding out for the money? 392 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: Had had a good game in the opener. I guess 393 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: he went too hard, pulled the groin and they had 394 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: zero pass rush in the second half. None, And so 395 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: what do they have to do? Just what the Ravens 396 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: did last week? We got a blitz and guess what, uh, 397 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: your your white your little white guy. Hunter Renfro is 398 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: so good at getting open. You know, I think his 399 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: nickname was seven eleven because he's always open. He must 400 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: have had at least third three third down catches. Waller 401 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: was like a non factor. Henry Ruggs torturing him. Brian 402 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: Edwards was there, um Derreck Carson has had a really 403 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: really good start to the season. And and a quick 404 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: shout out. I know the Raiders defense has been pretty 405 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: bad historically, but they beat up Lamar Jackson last week 406 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: and this guy Max Crosby had five quarterback hits. This 407 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: week they had ten. They hit Big Ben ten times. 408 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I I gotta be honest, Rob, I'm surprised 409 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: there two and oh given that early schedule, and you 410 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: have to start feeling yourself a little bit, right. I mean, 411 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: pretty soon they're gonna be facing the Bears and the Eagles. 412 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: They do face the NFC East. You know that means 413 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: a lot of travel, but it also means um some 414 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: bad teams. As we saw NFC East, it's some bad football. 415 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: How are you feeling about your Raiders? I'm feeling good. 416 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: You know, this week we get Miami. I'm assuming two 417 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: is not going to play, so you know, there should 418 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: be a three and o team. But the problem is 419 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: that the Raiders the last two seasons have gotten off 420 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: the great starts only to fizzle down the stretch. And 421 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: if you just look at their schedule there at the 422 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: end Chiefs, Brown's, Broncos, Colts, Chargers to close out the 423 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: last you know, five games. That that's a tough string. 424 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: And it's it's weird that you brought up them not 425 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: being able to run the football. I think even with 426 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: Josh Jacob, they would have been able to run the 427 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: football against Ptsburgh. They they're their first part of their 428 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: schedule is loaded up with teams that are good at 429 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: stopping the run. And for anybody, like I told you 430 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: guys earlier last week, who thinks that Derek Carr is 431 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: not a upper echelon quarterback, you're finding out very quickly 432 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: because he's not doing this in the context of the 433 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: offense where it's like, hey, we're running the football, we 434 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: can play action. He's hitting these deep crossers blah blah 435 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 1: blah blah. He's doing it knowing full well that they 436 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: cannot run the football against these two teams. He's doing 437 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: it knowing full well that your best receiver is a 438 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: five eleven white guy who runs like a four seven 439 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: forty the thing they call him third and Renfroe, by 440 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: the way, not seven, that's what they call. So Pittsburgh 441 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: made a conscious effort to take away Darren Waller because 442 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: he is their best offensive player. And you brought up 443 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: a point. He was very invisible up in to like 444 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: a big thirty yard catch there. I think had one 445 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: target in the first half we won catch one of 446 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: those really had him lockdown, and it didn't matter because 447 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: Derek Carr is really, really, really good. He can sling 448 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: it with the best of him, and he has this 449 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: understanding now of the Grooten offense where he'll throw it 450 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: to the third string tight end, he'll throw it to 451 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: the full back, he'll hit Willie Sneed who had the 452 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: pass off his hands in the ends, and they got 453 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: intercepted against Baltimore that led to the the second win 454 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: they had to get, you know, because they should have 455 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: one it earlier before then when it twice, But he 456 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: goes to him on a Keith third down, like he's 457 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: not one of these guys who's gonna zero in on 458 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: a Davante Adam because he doesn't have one or a 459 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: Seedee Lamon and Mark Cooper because doesn't have one. He 460 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: doesn't have the weapons at his disposal at some of 461 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: these other quarterbacks, and you would never know by watching 462 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: him play because he can win the shootouts with Pat 463 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: moy You know, the Raiders were the only team last 464 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: season to beat Pat Mahomes. You know that the ratting 465 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: and one Kansas City in the regular season, the Raiders 466 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: almost beat him twice. They scored one game and almost 467 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: beat him again. At the end. Derek Carr and his 468 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: mish mash unit of wide receivers and cast offs went 469 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: toe to toe with Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Tyree Kale. 470 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: So I'm glad once again that people are seeing how 471 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: good he is. I just want to temper my expectations 472 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: a little bit because we have a history. So I 473 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: was so thrown off by the one loss. So you're 474 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: right they beat him, and then that they lost Week seventeen, 475 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: but their starters didn't play, So you're right, that's right. 476 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: They did win in k C. I remember that that 477 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: that was a monster win and that was one way 478 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: they put up forty points. Yeah, which goes back to 479 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. Basically, to beat the Chiefs unless it's 480 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and their offensive line is in chapels. 481 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk line up 482 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: in the nation.

We talked about it at length. 488 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: I am kicking myself. I went two and three in 489 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: the four point four million dollar contest. Not a great start, guys, 490 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: five and five. Uh, it's early and a lot of 491 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: people did not do well this week, so I'm fine. Um, 492 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: but I'm just so freaking pissed at myself. When we 493 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: had David Baker on Friday, awesome guest. You heard him 494 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: say that the bills were decide and I was. I 495 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: listened to it again. I told myself, bills, Yeah, I 496 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: had looked at Miami, and I'm like, no, no, no, 497 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: He's just a great point. Sometimes when you talk to 498 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: smart people, you hear stuff you have not considered. I 499 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: wrote down the bills at the last minute. I pulled 500 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: the Bills stung. I had the Steelers, which was just 501 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: that one't hurt. I was dumb. Carolina hit for me, 502 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 1: Tennessee came through for me. Uh. The Rams Rams were 503 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: totally controlling that game. Uh. Carson Wentz can't get out 504 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,479 Speaker 1: of his own way with making stupid mistakes and then 505 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: he gets hurt at the end. Rams win by three, 506 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: but the line is three and a half, so it's 507 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: a tough one for me. The picks I gave out 508 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: on Fox were good. I actually won money on the day, 509 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: but the picks I gave out did not. On the 510 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: contest went two and three, which really hurts. It's just 511 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: frustrating as hell. I did hit a big teaser that 512 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: I put on the Fox. Uh on the Fox pix. Uh. 513 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: I will close out with this um. When you're right, 514 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: you do the victory lap, you pat yourself on the back. 515 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: When you're wrong, we kind of sit on it and 516 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: own it. And I don't want to say that I 517 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: was way way, way, way way off on this, but 518 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: it's starting to look like I maybe way way off 519 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: on this. But holy hell, the Jacksonville Jaguars can't do 520 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: ship on offense, I mean at all, so they get 521 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: the ball against the Broncos, they go right down the field. 522 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: You know, the scripted series. But when you work on 523 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: all week, boom touchdown, All right, let's go. They didn't 524 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: get back into the red They didn't get into the 525 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: red zone the entire day. They got a long touchdown 526 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: on that opening drive to Uh to the receiver Jones 527 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, we got this. We look good. 528 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: They did not get into the red zone the rest 529 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: of the game. They were bad on offense. Trevor Lawrence 530 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: was nailed on the first drive. After that, he could 531 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: do nothing. Folks. I'm afraid to like sit here with 532 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: a calculator and crunch the numbers if you remove that 533 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: opening drive. It was that bad. They I know that. 534 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: The box courses. Oh they got they got another touchdown, Jay, 535 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? No, there's a kick return 536 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: touchdown with the guy broke like five tackles and Broncos 537 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: screwed it up. Then first good Trevor Lawrence. I don't 538 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: want to say that Urban Meyer's ruining him. Um, it's 539 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: way too early for that. But and the division is 540 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: very bad, Tennessee gotta win. The Texans lost their starting 541 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: quarterback and the culture owe in two and the Colts 542 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: may have lost Wentz. Jacksonville is against the Cardinals this week. 543 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: Arizona's defense got shredded by Kirk Cousins. So maybe this 544 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: is a get right spot for Trevor Lawrence. I'm seeing 545 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: the line already over a touchdown. Jacksonville is really really 546 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: not looking good so far. And listen, I said they 547 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: would win the division. And here's the funny thing. The 548 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: division is garbage and it's not over, but they have 549 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: a massive hilt to climb, given the loss to the 550 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: Texans and looking anemic. And then you could say, well, ja, 551 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: the Broncos defense is really good, and it is really good, 552 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: but they were down a couple of guys. And I 553 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: didn't think the Broncos defense played particularly well. They're good, 554 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: but they only sack Lawrence once. Um Patrick certain started 555 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: the rookie, So I mean they only hit Trevor Lawrence 556 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: three times. They've got this quick, let's get the ball 557 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: out of the pocket, and that's fine, but I mean 558 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: they just can't move the ball. They had the tight 559 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: end get hurt. I believe the opening drive did not 560 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: return to the game. O'Shaughnessy. Maybe they'll call Tebow back 561 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: uh ha ha ha um, Like what's his name? Lavish 562 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: Ka Chennault injured? Uh, we don't know his status. Like 563 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: they're getting beat up and it's just you just you 564 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: know how rob you know how awesome. Trevor Lawrence looked 565 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: at at Clemson like anytime you drop back in the pocket, like, Okay, 566 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: a play is happening. They're gonna make something happen here. 567 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: He's gonna move to football. They're fine. I see no 568 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: confidence whatsoever in Lawrence in that offense. Now. Brian Schottenheimer 569 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: is the O C. And I know his time with 570 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: the Jets. He's not good. I know his time in Seattle. 571 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: They didn't like him. Is Jacksonville, please get your act together. Um. 572 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: I don't really have a bet as we wrap up 573 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football, at least not a sizeable one. 574 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: I have the Packers minus and a half minus eleven um. 575 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: But it's not big money, so I'm not gonna say 576 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: go out and drop a dime on the Packers. It's 577 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: favored by double digits. I'm under Night Football. I do 578 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: think they win this game. I will be on alert 579 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: for the Packers have major problems along the lines of 580 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: the Jags. If they don't win this game convincingly, Detroit 581 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: is a dumpster fire. And um, I know it's a 582 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: divisual matchup, but I mean if Aaron Rodgers can't get 583 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: right against the Lions, they got problems. Um, all right, 584 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: Rob Any final thoughts, big shout out to former Straight 585 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: Fire guest Daniel Kelly. Remember he was a former Jets 586 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: scout who said before the draft that Trevor Lawrence should 587 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: not be taken in the first round. Oh my guy's 588 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: taking a victory lap in my d M as we speak, 589 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: just saying after two games he is goodness gracious. Um, 590 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: I don't think we really missed anything. Oh, Jameis Winston, 591 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: you could tear out those m VP tickets if you 592 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: were dumb enough to buy one. Um. Sorry, I just 593 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: had to say that a lot of Saints fans really 594 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: getting angry at me. No Dolphins fans in my mentions 595 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: Sunday night, I don't remember that. I haven't seen it 596 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: me this morning either, Rob. Have you Dolphins f I 597 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: don't know where they are? Zero zero interesting?

Uh funny video of two guys fighting 601 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: by toilets. Two guys who are like seventy pounds overweight, 602 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: just throwing terrible hay makers and missing. Um. It's ugly, 603 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: it's laughable. Nobody gets really hurt, so you can laugh 604 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: about it. But I just rob, I haven't been to 605 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: an NFL game this season yet. I just don't know 606 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: what the mentality of his.

Like what goes through their mind? Nothing. I 612 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: don't know nothing at all. That's probably the right answer. 613 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: All right, folks, we will catch you tomorrow. Peace.
