12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins to the Buffalo bill stops by off a wild,

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: wild game last night. I'm gonna tell you something. That's

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: the best Week one in the NFL. Remember Week one

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: of college football Labor Day weekend. We're like, that's the

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: best college football weekend I've ever seen. That is the

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: best week one. Not done? You get the controversial enigmatic

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Bears against Minnesota, mystery at quarteraback. What a weekend starting

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: Thursday where the Cowboys took the Eagles to the very end.

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: But last night's a classic unbelievable game.

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: Josh Allen obviously the MVP for a reason, best player

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: in the league.

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, when the Ravens win a wild game, my take

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: is usually, oh, Lamar Jackson must have played well. When

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: the Bills win a wild game, might take his Oh, oh,

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, they put the cape on him. Lamar Jackson's

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: part of a great roster, a super Bowl winning coach.

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: I never feel like the organization lets him down, and

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: he has sputtered in big playoff spots. Josh Allen's passer

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: rating is better in the playoffs than the regular season,

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: and he was the MVP. He's always at his best

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: when the best is required. He doesn't need to prove

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: anything to anybody. His coach has often let him down.

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: He had more passing yards in the fourth quarter last

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: night than half the league had this weekend, sixteen unanswered

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: points against a better roster in Baltimore, Montana. Brady and

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes had more hardware and maybe OHA's will. I have

38
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: never seen, including Patrick Mahomes, a quarterback with this much velocity,

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: this much power. His again, his playoff passer rating higher

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: than his regular season. He is a gamer and not

41
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: the streaming kind. The other thing is I still this

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: morning don't like the way the Bills are overly reliant

43
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: on him. The Ravens were getting I mean, Dereck Henry

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: was running away from smaller secondary players for Buffalo. Buffalo's

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: got real issues on the back end. Remember Buffalo, Buffalo

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: had to come back under four minutes fifteen down. Like

47
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore has a better roster they have in my opinion,

48
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: a better coach they have in my opinion. And this

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: is not a knock on Lamar probably Steve Bushatti, many

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: in the league believe best organization owner ninety five percent

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: of that game last night until the very end, felt

52
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: like if Baltimore's just got too much horsepower, they got

53
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: too many good players. The Bills have a and I

54
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: would be worried about this. They have a Lebron Calves

55
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: feel to them that he's got to score forty two

56
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: and have a triple double to beat the good teams.

57
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: I mean, even at the end of the first half,

58
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: he gets the ball thirty one seconds, two big throws,

59
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: no timeouts, and sets of a field goal. How many

60
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: people on the planet ever could do that. It is

61
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: not a knock on Lamar Jackson. But the Ravens have

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: multiple routes to win big games. Dereck Henry last night,

63
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: I get he is running passed and over much smaller

64
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: players than safeties and corners. The Bills have one route

65
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: to win huge games. Josh Allen has to do that,

66
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: and I think last night was unquestionably his greatest performance.

67
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: And he's got about twelve like this. I thought it

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: was the best one. That score was forty twenty five

69
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and under four minutes left. I don't care that it

70
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: was at home. Baltimore is a stacked roster. There are

71
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: three rosters in this league. I tests look better Eagles, Ravens,

72
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: and I think Packers. And to pull that off late,

73
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got Baltimore's got Kyle Hamilton. He's a

74
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl safety covering all that ground in the back end.

75
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: You stack these rosters up. Baltimore is up there with Philly.

76
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: I feel like Buffalo is. Basically they just said, Josh,

77
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: take it over. End of the first half, end of

78
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: the game, take it over, and here he is after.

79
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: It took everybody there. I'm just proud of our team

80
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: for staying in it. No one on the sideline blinked.

81
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: I mean down fifteen points whatever we were with five

82
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: six minutes left, staying with it, fans leaving, you know,

83
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 3: the stadium. You know, you gotta play this game for

84
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: sixty minutes. And that's that's a really good outfit that

85
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: we just played.

86
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching that game last night, and I honestly watching

87
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Dereck Henry in that offense, and then

88
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the other side. I'm like seventy five

89
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: percent in the teams, and I'm watching Mahomes and Justin

90
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: Herbert Friday and thinking the same thing. Yes, seventy five

91
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: percent of these teams in this league have got to

92
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: be looking at their quarterback situation and just thinking Buffalo Baltimore.

93
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: They're playing a different sport. I mean, Labar, There's never

94
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: been a player that plays it like Lamar. It is

95
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: video game. And then there's Josh Allen under four minutes,

96
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: down fifteen against a great roster, and you know, Dereck

97
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: Henry's fumble probably is is that lynchpin that gets you

98
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: the w but remarkable. Now I want to shift to

99
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: another game. I've been very critical, not really critical. I

100
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: just don't buy all the height with Brock Purty. I

101
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: think he's a B plus quarter I feel that with

102
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, I feel that with Dak And I think

103
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: you have to be very careful about paying a B

104
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: plus quarterback a plus money. And Brock Purtty got a

105
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: good contract. It wasn't outrageous for him. It was a

106
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: very good contract. But I got to tell you yesterday,

107
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: Yes he had two picks. Yes he got a huge

108
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: break that Sam Darnold fumble bumped into his own player.

109
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: That's the most impressed I've ever been with Rock Purty.

110
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: That game. Seattle's loud, George Kittle misses most of the game.

111
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: You're down several wide receivers. Your offensive line is mediocre.

112
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings is her Trent Williams is her right guard

113
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: is hurt. You've heard of the Blue Man group, the

114
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: Niners of the Blue Tent group. They can't keep anybody healthy.

115
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Special teams, Jake Moody, close your eyes, cross your fingers.

116
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: That let the Niners down and pretty on the road

117
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: against Let's be honest here. That defense for Seattle is fast.

118
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: That is a well coached, well constructed, well drafted, very

119
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: good Seahawks defense. It is sometimes you got to trust

120
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: your eyes. They are flying around the field, and he

121
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: goes six for six on the final drive, loudest stadium

122
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: in the league. They were nine to one before yesterday

123
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: and those openers. He has a great poise, made huge throws.

124
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: And you know why I'm impressed because he had two picks.

125
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, only scored seventeen points. Why would I be

126
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: so impressed Because the difference between the haves and have

127
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: nots in this league is when you don't have your

128
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: star receiver, when you're down your star tight end, when

129
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: you're going to be Hall of Fame, left tackle goes

130
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: to the tenth, when you're right guard is out that

131
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: and you're on the road. That's that if every quarterback

132
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: looks good with excellent protection. I've said quarterback is like parenting.

133
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Every buddy is a great parent. When your kids are

134
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: eating their vegetables and getting a's, it's really easy. That's babysitting.

135
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: You know what parenting is Your kid just got kicked

136
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: out of school. Your daughter got a speeding ticket, she's imploding.

137
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: That's parenting. That yesterday in Seattle, last drive, that is

138
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: what quarterback is. Okay, that is what it is. Defensive coach,

139
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks are flying around, Your offensive line is mid. You're

140
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: missing one of your linemen. Trent Williams already been in

141
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: the tent. George Kittle's gone, Juwan Jennings banged up. Seattle. Listen,

142
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: Seattle's gonna win nine ten eleven games, whether they make

143
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs or not. That's a good football team. So

144
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: it is it demanded he'd be great. And I don't

145
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: care that his passer rating was ninety two, and I

146
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: don't care that he threw two picks. That's worth the money.

147
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, there's about eight nine quarterbacks in the

148
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: league you can win a football game with, and he

149
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: was one of them. And that doesn't mean I want

150
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: to hear Old Jamie going nutty on this. I may

151
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: turn by next weekend. That is quarterback playing the league.

152
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: That's parenting. The house is melting down, they won't eat

153
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: their vegetables. They're arguing with mom. That's parenting. Here is

154
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan on Brock Purty's performance.

155
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: Ah, it's huge. I mean there were some big plays

156
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: at the end. I mean we were back and forth

157
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: and just kept getting tighter and tighter, and to make

158
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 4: that big play to Ricky to get the explosive to

159
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: get us down there, and on that play he made

160
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: on fourth down was huge. I think the biggest one

161
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 4: in the drive was him going across the whole board

162
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 4: on a progression. I mean, just a tough deal to

163
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 4: do for a quarterback. And I don't know if you hit.

164
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 4: I think it was Jake tongjis a low ball on

165
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: the other side that kept the drive going and played

166
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: really well.

167
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: There.

168
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: The other thing that you notice, and this is something

169
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: about the NFL that's different than college. In college, you

170
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: let go of the ball when the receivers open. He

171
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: made a throw. He made a couple of them in

172
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: this game. Pretty did the touchdown in the end zone

173
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: to the tight end because Kittle was banged up. When

174
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: he let go of that ball, there were three blue shirts,

175
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: two blaur shit, there was nobody open. That is what

176
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: is called it anticipatory thrower. That's what Aaron Rodgers was

177
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: in his prime. Aaron Rodgers one of the first quarterbacks

178
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: doing the back shoulder thing. Nobody's open. Great quarterback play,

179
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: and this is what you have to do in the NFL.

180
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: And it's why a lot of college quarterbacks can't pivot

181
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: to the pros. You gotta let go of the ball

182
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: and it looks like it can't be caught. Go back

183
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: and look. Go to your YouTube page, go back and

184
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: look at that that touchdown to the tight end. He's

185
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: not open. That's practice, that's in, that's trust, that's anticipating.

186
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: That is excellent quarterback play. Could have been his third

187
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: pick instead. Everybody loves Brock party this morning. So j

188
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Mac a little pivot, slight pivot on purchase. I gotta

189
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: say I love that open Colin. I was shocked that

190
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: you said nice things about him. The two picks are bad.

191
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: Let's admit they were. They were bad throws, right, That

192
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: is a let me tell you them. That's a tough environment.

193
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: Yes, And by the way, you didn't mention his kicker

194
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: was like terrified and Shanahan's losing his mind.

195
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: He made a thirty two yard field goal in the

196
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: second half and it was noteworthy. It's like, hey, we

197
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: should note it. He hit it because he had had

198
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: a kick blocked. He had missed like a twenty eight

199
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: or a show.

200
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 5: It was a short one.

201
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

202
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 5: They got to the red zone five times. And by

203
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 5: the way, how about the forty.

204
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 2: Nine Ers defense with Robert Sala bottling up Seattle. They

205
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: think they had two hundred and thirty yards of offense

206
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: colin defense.

207
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, frisky coordinators do not get the

208
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: love they deserve. The Niners have worse personnel defensively than

209
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, and that was their best defensive performance

210
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: in a long time. Go ask the Lions if coordinators matter.

211
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: I know it's Monday and everybody overreacts on Monday. I'm

212
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: going to overreact on the Packers. That's fine, I think

213
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: that's your what was in reason? I'm going to overreact

214
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: on the Packers. I'm going to make a definitive statement.

215
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: I am already calling a division after week one. We'll

216
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: talk about that next. If you're a homeowner, it took

217
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: years of sweat and planning and saving and discipline to

218
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: get in that door. Now once it's yours, more hard

219
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: work to make the house a home. Now, all that

220
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: effort has built something hugely valuable. It's called equity. That's

221
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: the part of the home you actually own. The longer

222
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: you own it, the more equity you've built. And now

223
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,599
Speaker 1: the home you've worked so hard for it's ready to

224
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: work for. You do you want to take a loan out,

225
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: a home equity loan to pay for college, to pay

226
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: to upgrade your kitchen. Rocket Mortgage is their home renovation.

Speaker 7: FS one and the iHeartRadio app.

246
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back, so listen. Micah Parsons actually only played about

247
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: forty five percent of the snaps. Between Jordan Love's poise,

248
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, what is that ninth straight game he scored

249
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown franchise record, the coaching green Bay looked different, folks.

250
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: It is official. Let me overreact. Green Bay's winning that division.

251
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't need to watch Vikings Bears tonight, and I

252
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: do not need to see the Lions again. Adding Micah

253
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: played less than half the snaps is different between Matt

254
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Lafleur and Jordan Love and that run game and Rashawn

255
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: Gary and Micah. This is the best looking Packer team

256
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: I have seen since Aaron Rodgers in his prime. That

257
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: defense was flying all over the field like they always

258
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: use first round picks on defense, but you never really

259
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: feel like they're intimidating, Like Baltimore plays on fire at

260
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: Denver with that crew in Denver. You see orange jerseys

261
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: everywhere yesterday. That is the best green Bay's defense is. Look,

262
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: it didn't look like a Packer defense. Hyper aggressive and

263
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons already making an impact, creating more space and

264
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: better matchups for the guys around him. So and those

265
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers and tight ends we've been talking about this

266
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: the last three years. Green Bay just doesn't miss very

267
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: much on offensive players. They're the opposite of Belichick and

268
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots. They hit on almost everybody. Even the wide

269
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: receivers like Reid were like, well, I don't know. Romeo

270
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: Dobbs sometimes he has the drops. They all make plays.

271
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: Craft the tight ends a stud, he's a pro bowler.

272
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: He's going to be a great time, big time player

273
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: for the Packers. Ten different guys caught passes. Green Bay

274
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: was the best football team coaching, offense, defense. I watched

275
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: all weekend. I don't need to see anything else. I

276
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: don't care if it's overreacting because I know Matt's a

277
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: great coach, and I know Micah Parsons can play, and

278
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: I know those tight ends and receivers I've been watching

279
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: for three years. If they stay healthy, are good. And

280
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: I know Josh Jacobs he's a bull man. All I'm saying.

281
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: I watched football weekend like you starting last week, college football,

282
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: starting fotball Thursday night. That is the best team I watched.

283
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: I do not see the holes. I don't see him.

284
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: Jordan Love sometime, you know, think about Jordan Love. He's

285
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: always more far than Aaron Rodgers, He's gonna let it rip.

286
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna have bad picks. Brock Purtty had bad picks.

287
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: Picks Andrew luck had bad picks, lay a lot of them.

288
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't the bottom line, are you willing to let

289
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: it go? Do your prep, see the field, let it rip.

290
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Here's Micah and Matt Lafleur on what has changed just

291
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: watching the game. What has changed about Green Bay's defense.

292
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 8: These last six months was super draining, super toxic for everyone.

293
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 8: I mean, he's something that you know, I don't think

294
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 8: no players should have to go through. I could have

295
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 8: been with these guys getting better and better, and we

296
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 8: could have had probably more dominant start, you know, if

297
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 8: that was the decision we was gonna make. So I'm

298
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 8: just happy that's behind. These guys embraced me. They believe

299
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 8: in my talents, they believed in me, and I'm just

300
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 8: gonna get these guys everything I have because I know

301
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 8: that stake.

302
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: He definitely has an air about him and just his

303
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: style of play fits with our other guys, and I

304
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: think all those guys are excited to play with them.

305
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: It looked like.

306
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 2: A speed of light or the shooting star just coming

307
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: out of the sky and closing ground fast, which I

308
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: mean that's why he's here, right.

309
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, trust your eyes. Jeff Hafley is an excellent defensive mind.

310
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: Trust your eyes. You Packer fans are like, let's not

311
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: go overboard. Okay, radio guys, slow down. I'm not slowing down.

312
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: I trust my eyes. Hey, Mike have played forty five

313
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: percent of the Stamps. He's not even in great game

314
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: shape yet. Like the Mica thing is going to get better,

315
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: and I hope the Packer fans. The Packer fans are spoiled.

316
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: They've been watching great offense for thirty five years. They

317
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: haven't had Micah Parsons. I mean they did Reggie White

318
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: on the inside and Charles Woodson. But Micah Parsons comes

319
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: out at Lambeau feet standing.

320
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 4: Oh.

321
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: He came close to a sack ones early. The fans

322
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: went crazy, go crazy. That is what a Super Bowl

323
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: team looks like. Ravens, Eagles, Packers. Those rosters are different.

324
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: They are different rosters than everybody else.

325
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 5: J Mack with the.

326
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: News, No turn, this is the mister overreaction.

327
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: No no, no, I think all this is well within reason.

328
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: I mean, who could argue.

329
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 5: Any of this stuff? Like the Ravens looked incredible.

330
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: I mean, you contrast the Chiefs with the bills of

331
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: the Ravens, completely different.

332
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: Not even the second than Herbert did kind of whatever

333
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: he wanted to. And you and I acknowledge we don't

334
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: love the perimeter weapons for the Chargers. They were opened

335
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: Enan Allen was cookie aside like a month ago, well

336
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: seven catches. He just joined the team.

337
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, So let's go to another guy who

338
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: we don't really love on the show, and that's your boy,

339
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers.

340
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 5: Cola, listen.

341
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: I got to give him running Arthur Smith's offense, and

342
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith deserves a lot of credit. Rogers drew four

343
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: touchdowns no interceptions in a thrilling game against my Jets.

344
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: Game of the day. Until last night, we thought this

345
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: was going to be low scoring.

346
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I said twelve six Jets.

347
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: I took the Jets in the three. I thought it

348
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: was going to be really sluggish.

349
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: The Jets did cover, but they lost thirty four to

350
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: thirty two. Rogers was talking a little trash after the game.

351
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 9: It was nice to win, especially, you know, hearing some

352
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 9: of the cat calls out there and the Boobirds you know,

353
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 9: I don't. I'm not sensitive about that. I expected that,

354
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 9: you know, I kind of like that. But there were

355
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 9: probably people in the organization I didn't think I could

356
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 9: play anymore. So it was nice to remind those people

357
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 9: I still can't.

358
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: All right, there's a guy who's got a little gray

359
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: and the whiskers as well. That's right, they want to bury.

360
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: He played pretty well one game. Well what game, my friend, now,

361
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: now is a statue. He's got sacked four times? No, no, no,

362
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: And by the way, you got to get Aaron credit.

363
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter he got sacked. And there's no

364
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: other quarterback in this league that took the shot that

365
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: Aaron did in the fourth quarter.

366
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 5: Well, Joe Burrow.

367
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: No, Joe Burrow, right, Joe Burrow got one that was brutal.

368
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Well that's the Bengals. Yeah, But I mean Aaron sat

369
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: in there, yeah, and took shots. And in the fourth quarter.

370
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't think he was gonna get up.

371
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I don't know if he's gonna

372
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: get up.

373
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: Do you think this is sustainable? He's not. This is

374
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 5: not happening all season.

375
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 1: Well, it's an older team, and older teams when they

376
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: do get banged up. It takes longer for older players

377
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: to get healthy. So Green Bay is the youngest team

378
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: in the League three and Bay's gonna have injuries. But

379
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: a twenty five year old body is not a thirty

380
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: two year old body. I thought Jalen Ramsey had was

381
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: really good play at the end.

382
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 5: Of the game.

383
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: I think you have to I mean, I thought the

384
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: story of the game and I'll talk more about this

385
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: in a minute. It was Justin Fields, yes, but you

386
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: have to give they went on the road. Aaron, who's

387
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: not been good in season openers since he's gotten older,

388
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: best a mile by a mile. And it is not

389
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: a great old line. So Aaron was not doing this

390
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: behind the Eagles own line. This is a very mid

391
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: o line.

392
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 5: I know the staff wants to talk Rogers, that's fine.

393
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: The reality of Justin Fields was more impressive than Aaron

394
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: Rodgers yesterday.

395
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, like Justin Fields was.

396
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: Really I'm gonna get to that. I thought until Josh

397
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: Allen last night, I and Lamar they were both great.

398
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: I thought Justin Fields was the best quarterback I saw

399
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: this weekend.

400
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 5: He was outstanding.

401
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: He was out of his mind good.

402
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: Just for the record, the Jets only lost this because

403
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: the kick returner fumbled and the piece Steelers.

404
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 5: Basically got back to it.

405
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: That's part of foot I get it. But you say

406
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens only lost because Dereck Henry fumble, Well, Dereck

407
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: Henry is a running back. He got hit, certainly, just

408
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: so the Steelers deserve credit. But it should be noted, Aaron,

409
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: he got sacked four times and that old line. Last

410
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: four years we have been arguing they couldn't run the

411
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: ball either.

412
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 2: Well, Arthur Smith deserves that, I think more credit than Rodgers.

413
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: He was early on r Rodgers was getting drilled and

414
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: he changed up the offense of a lot of play action

415
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: overly aggressive.

416
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: Aaron Glenn.

417
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: Guys were schemed open. I will say this, the Steelers

418
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: defense got destroyed by Justin Fields, Bryce Hall, Garrett Wilson.

419
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: Are They pushed around Jets at one hundred and eighty

420
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: two yards rushing.

421
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: Well the left side of the Jets all line. They

422
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: just kept going back and back to the same left side.

423
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: And that's I thought Elijah Vera Tucka was left guard.

424
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he's right guard. I because when once eli Ja

425
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: Vera Tucker got hurt. My take was. Oh, the Jets

426
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: on line could be spotty. They just every big run

427
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: play was Breece Hall left side and there were holes.

428
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: He's a good player, but there were noticeable holes.

429
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 5: That kid they drafted from Penn State had.

430
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: He was great.

431
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: Steelers fans are nervous because I text with a few

432
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 2: of them and they're like, we just got pushed around

433
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: by the Jets. And this is a defense that's one

434
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: of the most expensive in the league. So there are

435
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: some warning signs for the Steelers. Now.

436
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: It is a weak one.

437
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 2: It is, but that's not really how you want to

438
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 2: open if you're the Steelers defense.

439
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 5: Let's move to Pete Carroll. How about his debut with

440
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 5: the Raiders.

441
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: Really impressive twenty to thirteen win over your boy Vrabel

442
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: and the Patriot.

443
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: It was so happy for Pete. Look at his energy. Yeah,

444
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: he's seventy three years old now, dude, he looks fifty four.

445
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: He is.

446
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean you can feel his energy and juice on

447
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: the sideline.

448
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 4: Yea.

449
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: And by the way, speaking of Jews, Geno Smith three

450
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two yards, I mean.

451
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: He was outstanding. Easily the best quarterback in that game,

452
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: not close.

453
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 5: It wasn't.

454
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: Drake May not great, but brock Bauers did leave with

455
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 2: an injury and it didn't matter.

456
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: Do you know it was still making plays with her.

457
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: Was Jakobe Myers, Ashton Jeny was okay, didn't.

458
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: Have much room, Drake May didn't do much and it

459
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: was not just that. Now I will defend New England

460
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: a little. Remember they spent three hundred million on free agency.

461
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: It's like seven new starters. Yeah, Christian Gunn's all us out.

462
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: They also are playing multiple rookies. You can argue there's

463
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: not a team in the league. They have like a

464
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: transfer portal. They got like twelve new guys taking snaps

465
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: and remember start do not play in the preseason anymore.

466
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: My take is they have so many this is a

467
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: total rebuild in New England. The Raiders are not a

468
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: total rebuild. No, Colton Miller, Brock Bowers, Jakobe Myers, Ashton

469
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: Jenny's gonna be a star, Max Crosby. The Raiders aren't

470
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: a total rebuild. They just needed grown ups to run

471
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: the organization.

472
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, you have Patriots playoffs. It's one week.

473
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 5: You don't want to overreact. The Dolphins are still in

474
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 5: the division so.

475
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: They won't be in the basement. But I don't again,

476
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 2: it's just a Jet. I'm gonna again Patriots. I think

477
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: the Jets look more impressive. It's just one game. Agree, agreed, Jets.

478
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: Jet's look, I've gotta save some of my materias. Are

479
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: not gonna lure me in with your hot takes.

480
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: Final final story here is Vikings Bears JJ McCarthy debut tonight.

481
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: Everybody's excited. They move off Darnold, which looks smart. By

482
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: the way, Darnald not great in Seattle. McCarthy talked about

483
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 2: how he doesn't have to go out there and play

484
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: hero because the roster is stacked with talent. Vikings looks

485
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 2: like it's ticked up to minus one and a half?

486
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: Was it minus one for a long time? What do

487
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 2: you think of on the pressure?

488
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: I like I had a winning week, Blazing five. You

489
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: had a winning week as well. I like the Vikings tonight.

490
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: Those that Tyler Dunn expose on the Bears, I see

491
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: is the most damaging thing you cannot read. You know

492
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: he won the first Heard Big Jay Journalism Award. I

493
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: don't think we've given out a second, but he won

494
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: our first and only you cannot be a Bears fan

495
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: and not be disheartened reading that article. So the Caleb stuff,

496
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Poul's a GM. I'm gonna take I'm gonna take

497
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota tonight. I think McCarthy. I think they they it's

498
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 1: fairly cautious. They go to the players they trust, and

499
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: I think the story tonight is Brian Flores the defensive

500
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: coordinator against Caleb. The story of the game is not

501
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: going to be players. It's going to be and floor

502
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: is sophisticated, difficult, heavy blitz, heavy pressure. And can the

503
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: Bears new offensive line how do they stack up? You

504
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: know Jmack with.

505
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 7: The news, Well that's the news, and thanks for stopping

506
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 7: by the herd.

507
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: Line news man. It is Uh. It was just funny

508
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: watching the Raiders like I been for years and years.

509
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: I've said the Raiders have talent. I mean, Ashton Jens

510
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: is going to be a dude, Colton Miller, Brock Bauers,

511
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: Max Crosby, they got dudes. I even think their defense

512
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: is better. The thing with their defense last year it

513
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: got all banged up. Raiders got players now, leadership, coaching, coordinating,

514
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: GM not great. They flushed them all out. Remember when

515
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders flushed everybody out, and everybody kept saying, oh,

516
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: they got too many changes. Yeah, but they upgraded owner, GM, coach, coordinator, quarterback.

517
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem flushing everybody out with the

518
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: Raiders because they upgraded a head, coach, coordinator, quarterback. They

519
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: got all new, all new, all improved players. So I'm

520
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: not one of these Oh there's too much radical change

521
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: that can hurt players, offensive lines, in chemistry. But if

522
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: you give me a better GM, a better coach, a

523
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: better offensive coordinator, and a better quarterback. Washington last year, Raiders.

524
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: This year, you got better, got a better team. It's

525
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: harder for players when there's a lot of new teammates.

526
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: But I get a better coach and a better quarterback

527
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: and a better GM and a better you know situation.

528
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: By the way, Mark Davis, who used to be one

529
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: of the poor owners, he went and sold portions of

530
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: the team. Now they're well funded. Now they're well financed,

531
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: and Allegiance Stadium puts a lot of money in the Raiders.

532
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: So if you're a Raider fan, that wasn't a small win,

533
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it's New England. That was

534
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: a nice win. For the Raiders. Okay, so we warned

535
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: you on the Chiefs. I know it's Friday. We warned you.

536
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: The division's too good. You can't live off slim margins.

537
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert with a wide receiving corps. Guys were open.

538
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: Quinton Johnson one of his best games. Lad McConkey guys

539
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: were open all night. You can't keep winning one score games.

540
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: There is a randomness to it. Now, it's not like

541
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: recovering fumbles that's totally random, but there is a randomness

542
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: to keep winning one score games. One of the smart

543
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: bets that the smart guys do in Vegas is teams

544
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: that go like eight and one in one score games.

545
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: Bet again from the next year. Nobody does that. The

546
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: AFC West is just too good. Denver played like crap

547
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: and won. I mean Denver was bad offensively. The Raiders

548
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: go on the road thirty five hundred miles whatever they win.

549
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: Trust your eyes, Trust your eyes. The Ravens, Eagles and

550
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: Packers rosters look a lot better than Kansas City a lot.

551
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: Steve Spagnoll is a great coach. He couldn't do anything.

552
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chargers were there to beat, right, They're

553
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: banged up at receiver. They brought in Keenan Allen in August.

554
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: He's thirty three. He's had like four surgeries that are

555
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: Grade two or three or above. Seven catches Keenan Allen,

556
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: dude's a total baller, yes, but he should not have

557
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: seven catches. So and by the way, next up on

558
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: Fox Philadelphia and the Chiefs are a home dog. Okay,

559
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: and Mahomes was amazing. Mahomes is going to get lost

560
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: this past weekend because of what Josh Allen and Lamar

561
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: did and Herbert did. Mahomes was unbelievable. Okay, but I'm

562
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: not saying they're going to go seven and ten. But

563
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Brady and Belichick and Randy Moss couldn't win a Super Bowl.

564
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Once you pay the quarterback, you gotta start hitting on

565
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: a lot of draft picks. And Rashi Rice is a hit.

566
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: He can't stay eligible. Xavi are Worthy. I mean, they

567
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: literally couldn't get out of their own way. Travis Kelsey

568
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: ran over Xavier Worthy. So the NFL is engineered to

569
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: bring the big dogs back to the middle. This is

570
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: in college football, where the better you are, the better

571
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: recruiting class. Pro football, the better you are, they want

572
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: to pull you back in. They don't want back to

573
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: back champions, and I mean that's why Buffalo, by the way,

574
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: their defense, how is their defense that that's the league

575
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: They had to let go of multiple players. Baltimore has

576
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: somehow in Philadelphia, somehow, it's just hitting on a lot

577
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: of draft picks. Have been able to maintain it and

578
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: pay people a lot of money. It's hard, It's really hard.

579
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: And here's Patrick Mahomes on the loss.

580
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 10: They came out with more energy than we did our

581
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 10: other defense, in our offense, so we didn't execute I

582
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 10: missing throws down the field, and obviously we didn't play

583
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 10: good enough in the first half. I felt like we

584
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 10: had energy at practice yesterday and all throughout the week.

585
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 10: But I mean, you don't come out and play with

586
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,239
Speaker 10: the right mindset, you get beat. And the charges came

587
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 10: out the right mind say we didn't and they beat us.

588
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Mahomes, Herbert, Jordan Love, Josh Allen,

589
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, brock Purdy, there was

590
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: some really good quarterback play and you don't have to

591
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: win to be impressive. Shout out to a team that

592
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: has literally cost me more than any in the NFL.

593
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix and the Falcons. I thought they had it

594
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: one then they lost it. Michael Pennix can spin it,

595
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: and let me tell you this. Cam Ward can play.

596
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: Denver's pass rush is a sea of orange. One thousand

597
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: and one. Run for your life. That pass rush is

598
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: It's like when the Seahawks had that like three year period.

599
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: That Denver pass rush is insane. Cam Ward has very

600
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: little to work with. Cam Ward can play. Michael Pennix

601
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: can play. Those guys are going to be really good.

602
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: They just need help. Most security systems only take action

610

Speaker 2: Quarterback Dante More leads Oregon's explosive attack into their first

611
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: Big ten matchup, taking on Northwestern. It all starts at

612
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: ten eastern live from Evanston with the Big.

613
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 5: Noon kickoff crew.

614
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,960

615
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:04,760

616
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: window or ten o'clock window, whatever wherever you live. I

617
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: don't think I am crazy to suggest that the story

618
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: of the game was not forty one year old Aaron Rodgers.

619
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: It was Justin Field's having his best game as a pro. Statistically,

620
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: he did not have one off target throw. So the

621
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: Jets brought over that passing game coordinator for the Lions,

622
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: and it's a I mean, that looked like Justin Fields

623
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 1: at Ohio State and Rutgers just rolled into Columbus. He

624
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: was throwing darts for three and a half hours. And

625
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: we've always said everybody loves him. Chicago bailed on him.

626
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: He didn't have a bad word to say. He's a

627
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: big kid, he's got a whip, he moves well. Everybody

628
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: likes him. I've said that ten times on this show.

629
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: I've never talked to anybody that doesn't like him. But

630
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: he had one of those things that is hard to quantify.

631
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: Does he see the field well? So yesterday when I

632
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: was watching him, my take is is he throwing to

633
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: the primary receiver that's not hard. He wasn't. I think

634
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: one of his best throws of the day. It was

635
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: like his second or est third receiver. You watch his head.

636
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: He starts left, he goes middle, he goes far right,

637
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: lets it go. And there were seven lead changes. So

638
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: it was a hard game to quarterback. Now, the defense

639
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: for the Steelers wasn't impressive, but when you're trailing and

640
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: you have to match the other quarterback and the other

641
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, every time Justin

642
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 1: Fields came in, there was pressure because his defense couldn't

643
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: stop anybody. So Justin Fields came into the game again

644
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: like a brock perty he had to deliver. That's the

645
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: way it goes. You better line it up and move

646
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: it down the field. And I thought, listen, Baker Mayfield,

647
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, Gino Smith have all had a resurrection, and

648
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: a lot of it is there's just more good offensive

649
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: coaching than ever before. I gotta tell you, I watched

650
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: Justin Field yesterday and again, I know it's Week one.

651
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: I know defenses aren't all ramped up, but you can

652
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: make there are things that are clear in week one,

653
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs aren't gonna win all these one score games,

654
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: and that Baltimore and Buffalo are sensational teams, and that

655
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, the Rams and the Texans have real defenses

656
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: that are gonna win a lot of games. Rams Texans

657
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: game one very sexy to watch their bodies flying everywhere.

658
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: C J.

659
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: Stroud and Matt Stafford had to hurry the throws. I'm

660
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: sitting there watching justin Fields and I know next year

661
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: is a great draft and the Jets can't find, you know,

662
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Last several years, they've whiffed. That was special

663
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: And there'll be a lot of other Sundays and they'll

664
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: be tougher defenses. But they got a defensive culture and

665
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: they've got very expensive defensive personnel. And he ate it

666
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: up and he was aggressive, but he also a couple

667
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: of times new and to slide. Now another note, the

668
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: left tackle out of Penn State in near two for

669
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: the Jets was really good. So it always helps when

670
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: you have the quarterback and he's accompanied with a ten

671
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: year starter at left tackle. But here was justin Fields.

672
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 11: After No, I don't think a lot of people expected

673
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 11: us to come out like that. But like I said,

674
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 11: like you said, no more victories, just calling it what

675
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 11: it is. You know, they acquired all these guys in

676
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 11: the offseason, you know, future Hall of famers on that

677
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 11: side of the ball, and we put up thirty two

678
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 11: and there were still plays that were left out there. So,

679
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 11: like I said, all we got to do is keep building,

680
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 11: keep getting better, and we'll be good.

681
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are good losses. I thought Dallas on Thursday,

682
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer, they didn't have a lot of penalties. I

683
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: thought the Cowboys on Thursday were situationally very strong. That's

684
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: a good loss. I thought Atlanta, Michael Pennix is a baller.

685
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: I thought, Atlanta, you can look up and go, you know,

686
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: we got our guy for the next ten years. I

687
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: thought the Jets loss was incredibly in encouraging. You've got

688
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: your left tackle. Hey, listen, you can keep justin fields

689
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: or not. But you don't need to be desperate next

690
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: year because and I said this before, it's so funny.

691
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 1: He was in Pittsburgh. He goes to the Jets. Aaron

692
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: was with the Jets. He goes to Pittsburgh. Remember that

693
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: show Wife Swap, And sometimes you look at it and

694
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: you go like, you know what, actually, maybe they are

695
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: the better couple I was watching it, and I'm like,

696
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: Aaron fits better in Pittsburgh because of the history of

697
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: the franchise and his respect for it. He didn't have

698
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: to carry the franchise. And Justin Fields in New York,

699
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: a team that desperately needs to find a young quarterback.

700
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: I thought he played like he was empowered. So it's

701
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: just one of these that Aaron's better with the Steelers.

702
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: It's a better fit, and the Jets need a quarterback

703
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: and Justin Field's a better fit. So there you have it.

704
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Don't forget Colin right, Colin wrong. Matt Hasselback talk top

705
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: of Next Hour. So first of all, when you watch

706
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: the game last night, let's not forget the first three quarters.

707
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: So the most games in NFL history where a quarterback

708
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: has a one hundred and forty plus passer rating, Lamar

709
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: Jackson is now right behind Drew Brees and will eventually

710
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: pass him. Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and maybe Tom Brady.

711
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: So he's never been given enough credit as a pocket passer,

712
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: and he wasn't great his first year and a half,

713
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: but he averaged Lamar Jackson last night. And I know

714
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: people they dig into a position and they want to

715
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: be right, not necessarily get it right. Lamar Jackson averaged

716
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: eleven yards from the pocket and eleven on the ground. Now,

717
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: he had a scramble last night that maybe the second

718
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: or third. It's a top three quarterback scramble I've ever

719
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: seen in my life. Nobody's ever played the position like him.

720
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: But I thought last night was on Derrick Henry's fumble.

721
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: And it happens. People fumble. I mean Sam Darnold bumped

722
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: into his own teammates. Seattle is going to win, then

723
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: they lost fumbles. We saw it against Dallas. Remember the

724
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: running back fumbled George Pickens later got a penalty. I mean, Dallas, Seattle,

725
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: and Baltimore could have come out of the weekend with wins.

726
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: But I know he lost. But the first three quarters

727
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: to go up against you know, mcdermot's a defensive coach.

728
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: That's one of the tougher places to play. I mean,

729
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: look at this run right here. This is against pro athletes.

730
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: These are pro athletes. It covered seventy six yards, a

731
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: twenty yard loss into a twenty yard gain. It's just

732
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing like Lamar. Now, there is a distinction. Whereas

733
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, He's not winning enough in the postseason, but

734
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: he's played spectacularly well. It does feel with Lamar in

735
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: the postseason that he aces all the tests in the

736
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: regular year and then bombs the final, and that does

737
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: affect the grade. How you do on the mid term

738
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: in the final, especially the final. You know you your

739
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: college prof or your high school teacher. The finals like

740
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: thirty to fifty percent of the grade, So it does matter.

741
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning for years and years, struggled in the postseason.

742
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: It does ding your resume. There's a reason we talked

743
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 1: more Lway than Dan Marino. Lway got to multiple Super Bowls.

744
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: Dan got the one and lost, So there is a distinction.

745
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: Lamar has not been as good. And this is not

746
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: baseball where you can be Mike Trout never win a

747
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: playoff series. You know, nobody cares you're an all time great.

748
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: We judge quarterbacks differently. The hardware matters. Is Joe Montan

749
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: and Brady the greatest quarterback athletes of all time? No,

750
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: they got a lot of rings and trophies. So but

751
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: I listen, this was on the Derrick Henry fumble. He

752
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: played very well eleven yards average. Bill's defense is a concern,

753
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: but a lot of it's just Lamar plays the position

754
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: differently than anybody's ever played the position, and here he

755
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: is after.

756
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 12: You just got to finish the game. You know it's

757
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 12: nevoe with a zero zero zero o'clock. No, we found

758
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 12: that out tonight. But we just kept getting off the field.

759
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 12: That's pretty much it. You know, we should have kept

760
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 12: on comfort and when we should have when we you know,

761
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 12: needed to. Obviously, she gotta do better.

762
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: Can I defend the Ravens here for a second, because

763
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: I really do believe there's an argument they're the best

764
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: run team in football. Owner down j Met called me crazy.

765
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but at the end of

766
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: the half, when the refs call the Ravens back on

767
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: the field with the second on the clock, I'm just saying,

768
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: that game's in Baltimore, they go into the locker room,

769
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: that game's in Buffalo, they bring everybody back because that

770
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: player did not hit the ground until it was zero zero.

771
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: And my take on that was and I kept thinking,

772
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, you can look at the clock, it was

773
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: oh one, he goes out of bounds, but that player,

774
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: I just think if the game's in Baltimore, they let

775
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: him go in. It's in Buffalo, they call him back.

776
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: It's not that the game is rigged. It doesn't matter

777
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: who wins last night. It's getting the TV rating for

778
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: last night. It doesn't matter who wins. They're gonna meet again.

779
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: The biggest part of last night was Buffalo may get

780
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: another home game against Baltimore in January. That's what last

781
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: night meant.

782
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: And the Buffalo's schedule. Everybody tough has to come to Buffalo.

783
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 2: This is that's a huge one because I'm just telling you,

784
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: if that continues Raven's doing by two touchdowns, it's like, hey,

785
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: the Buffalo defense isn't built.

786
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo's not the class. Remember Buffalo's defense was not good

787
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: last night. Now it was terrible and there on the

788
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: back end slow yar so low on the back and quicksand.

789
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not going to be good against it,

790
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: Like the Chargers are going to eat them up.

791
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: Defensive players statistically get hurt more than offensive players. So

792
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defense now is thin. Like I watched Buffalo last

793
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: night and my take was at the trading deadline, they

794
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: need help in the back end. Yeah.

795
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, Bosa, I know, was his first

796
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 2: go around with the team. He's got to contain that

797
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: edge with Lamar Jackson. They just kept going at him

798
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 2: and he's not reading the eyes.

799
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 5: It was a tough start for both.

800
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: Of Colin right, Colin wrong. It is a Monday. Matt

801
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,959
Speaker 1: Hasselbeck will be joining us as well, be on DOC.

802
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: The left tackle for the Bills is the hurd
