Welcome back to another edition of 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast presented by New Era. My 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansas, and I'm joined in the room 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenthal. 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: What is up? Boys? Oh boy? This is a particularly 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 1: tricky Monday because it's coming directly on the heels of 8 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: a Westlemania. Who are we? We're going with the the 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: full stamp Westlemania. Well, it's up to you. I kind 10 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: of think it was close. There was a big turnout 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: at Western Lakisha Manor and uh, people had a good time. 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: I had to head home with a little one. But 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: then there was a fire pitchon Anigans. I was told 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: Mark stayed very late. You know he did. We had 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: It was basically two parties, you know, the kids party 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: and then the adults party after dark. Like I owed 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: it to you, I had not been there once to 18 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: begin with. Love the place. I think your garage. You 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: probably think Lakisha would want me to talk about other 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: rooms in the house, but um, like, your garage is 21 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: dangerously fun and it's got a nice, perfect little It's 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: just the way that you've organized it. There's not junk 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: in there. There's like a fridge full of beers. The 24 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: night I thought hit a high point with a one 25 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: on one basketball game between two female employees who it 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: was excellent basketball for It was like a mix of 27 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: like r Vitas Sabonis and Kevin McHale and his prime 28 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: and just like just upset the world. Lindsay from the 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: desk downstairs, who was really good? Really who won? And 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: Overton Jay was out of gas about midway through and 31 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: she fought through it and still to like super sweaty 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: ladies in your backyard. I don't know how much the 33 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: other one was sweaty, but it was good basketball. The 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: whole crowd was into it was very nice, very nice. 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it was a great time. And uh I 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: took Harry our first outing, his father and son, just 37 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: the two of us, and he had a good time. 38 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: And yes, I think I think it was a Westlemania. 39 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: It felt it had that important feeling of what are 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: you saying the same at the end. My my own 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: reluctance is for people from out of town who wanted 42 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: to come, I don't want them to feel like, you know, 43 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: they were they weren't missed you. That's fair. Yeah. Uh, 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: this is the Monday edition of Around the NFL Podcast. 45 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: We have a lot to get to. Uh and uh. 46 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: Since we last were with you, there were twelve preseason 47 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: football games played, so we thought, why don't we go 48 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: through each game. Each of the heroes will share one 49 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: kind of takeaway or one thought or one anything connected 50 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: to the game they are assigned to. So we're gonna 51 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: go through the whole schedule. And also we're gonna do 52 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: a little bit of news up top, Greg Rosenthal about 53 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: a certain veteran that Chris Westling has a big old 54 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: crush on. Who's got a job. Let's do some news. 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: It's season, no doubt about it. What was the context there, Greg, 56 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: you know, no idea. That was the first time I 57 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: heard that one. It wasn't as good as mother football 58 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: that's coming. Uh. Let's start, yes with Adrian Peterson, the 59 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: former NFL m v P, the four time All Pro, 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: one of the greatest running backs of his generation, if 61 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: not the best. He's been unable to find a job 62 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: until now. Until Monday. Uh. The Washington Redskins are set 63 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: to sign Peterson. According to rap Sheet and Mike Garret Folo, 64 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: this is the same Redskins team. Chris Westling shorthanded right now, 65 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: Darius Guys ankle issue. Excuse me, Darius Skys towards a C. 66 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: L J. P Ryan has an ankle issue. Byron Marshall 67 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: also injured in the first two preseason games. So they 68 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: needed a body and they got a famous one. Yeah. 69 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: Jake Gruden said that he's not looking for a starter. 70 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: I wonder. I think Adrian Peterson's a better run or 71 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: than Rob Kelly, who was a better overall three down 72 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: back than Adrian Peterson. So you've got a mix of 73 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: two different guys. But I think as a runner, Adrian 74 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: Peterson is gonna make it hard to put him on 75 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: the bench as the season plays out. Jeff Jeff Schwartz 76 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: is a good follow on Twitter, pointed out that you know, 77 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson has always excelled kind of running in a 78 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: power scheme, and that's not at all what Washington does. 79 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: There is own running team which hasn't always been Peterson's forte, 80 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: and that he was wondering, like, what is the scheme 81 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: fit there? Are they going to change their offense for Peterson? 82 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: The way that he said, that's a little overrated when 83 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: it comes from either you can run. This is an 84 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: offensive offensive lineman, you know, NFL offensive lineman who kind 85 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: of went through different players that he's played with, Jamal 86 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: Charles for one, that they kind of change the offense for. 87 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: I don't know it. I think it's a remains to 88 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: be seen if Peterson makes the team. But to me, 89 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: if he makes the team, he should be starting. I 90 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: kind of don't understand why he's on that team if 91 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: he if he's just kind of a bad I think 92 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: to your point, like though, this was one of the 93 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: few places where I thought you would have to pitch 94 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: to Adrian Peterson, we see you as a starter, or 95 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: there's an avenue for to be for you to be 96 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: the starter. This is one of the few teams that 97 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: would even dare make that claim to him here in 98 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: the middle of August and scheme scheme stuff aside. I mean, 99 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: there weren't that many other options that with Jamal Charles 100 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: is one of the other people the Redskins tried out 101 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: another big name. So this this is his first step 102 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: to get him back in. And I know you're all 103 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: in on him West, but it's like I want to 104 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: see him over the course of a sixteen games schedule 105 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: to see if he's still the same guy. I I 106 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: realized he had these two amazing performances with the Cardinals, 107 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: but that wasn't all that. That wasn't the only tape 108 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: he put on over the past two seasons. Two games 109 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: he went over a hundred thirty yards. That's what Mark's 110 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: referring to, But he otherwise averaged three point four yards 111 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: per carry um West. But it's I guess it's the 112 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: other question. Then, Yeah, we'd like to see it over 113 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: sixteen games. Can he even do that? Anyway? The neck 114 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: injury shut him down last year. He's had knee issues 115 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: and in his past, and he's thirty three years old, 116 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: so there is no guarantees there. There's a now mythical 117 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: game from a few years ago, probably two years ago, 118 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: where Mark fell in love with the Redskins because of 119 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: their power run, an attack and blowing people off the ball, 120 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: imposing their will. And when Jake Gruden's team has played 121 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: at its best, it's been with a power runner. You know, 122 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: you're going back to Alt Morris and if you can 123 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: get Adrian Peterson. This offensive line when they're healthy is 124 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 1: really good. Well, Also you can, like if you're gonna 125 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: if you have to roll with Adrian Peterson, you have 126 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: to make adjustments to your line and the way you 127 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: run the ball. Look, it's nice that he's not a 128 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: pristine fit right now in theory, but that you're running 129 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: out of options if you simply don't trust Rob Kelly. 130 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: I I hope he makes a team, because this is 131 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: the Redskins team I'm most looking forward to watching and 132 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: probably the last fifteen years. And there's something about Adrian 133 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: Peterson just thrown into the mix that makes it more fun. 134 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: Do it the cost of losing Darius Skis, who I 135 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: think would have been just guys, would have been even 136 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: more fun. I just think Alex Smith and the weapons 137 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: around and and like West said, the offensive line, Trent Williams, 138 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: Brandon treff It just I think could be a fun 139 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: offense to watch. There's no there's no Usually the Redskins 140 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: are so boring. There's no higher compliment to X Smith. 141 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: Then coming into this time last year, no one would 142 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 1: ever thought, Oh, Alex Smith arriving makes this team exciting. 143 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: But he did throw the ball down field and maybe 144 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: he'll light things up again. North Washington next up. It's 145 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: time to get to the games, all right, kind of 146 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: one big takeaway, one thought, one whatever, it's a complete 147 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: this is you know, this isn't science, Mark, this is art. Okay, 148 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. I know long for it to be 149 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: silent science at all. So I'm fine with that. Take 150 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 1: it somewhere else. So let's go through each of the games. 151 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: It's funny, it's not even math. I mean it's not 152 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: because like we're gonna have more than one take in 153 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: the end, probably probably, But where to focus? Uh your gaze, 154 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: West Wind. We'll start with you. The Kansas City Chiefs 155 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons win four. Casey, what were you 156 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: taking out of that game? Well, a lot of people 157 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: might want to talk about Patrick Mahomes and that yard 158 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: pass that went further than any pass thrown by any 159 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: quarterback last year. But someone else has gotten my attention. Attention, 160 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: please attention, please attention, please attention. Please? Can we pull 161 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: back the curtain for a second? Uh less not known 162 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: to you know work in the pre pre production sound 163 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: drop field in this in this particular day, though West 164 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: connects with lindsay full time round the glass and you produce. 165 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: Can we hear that again? Attention. Please attention, Please attention, 166 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: please attention. Please. One of us are gonna throw two 167 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: players that have gotten our attention throughout. So that's eight 168 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: times in that's dropped four times during that sounddrop that 169 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: we're hearing that at least thirty two more times during 170 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: the show. Listener, it's up to you if you accept that. 171 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: You're welcome. All right's attention about what Calvin Ridley, this guy, 172 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: this is a difference maker for the Falcons, I think, 173 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: and they are loaded. They've got Austin Hooper, a tight 174 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: end who looks like he's about they have a breakout year. 175 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: They've got a great backfield, the offensive line is solid. 176 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: Then you throw Ridley in, who can be a deep threat, 177 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: who's good with the ball in his hands. I think. 178 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: In Greg's excellent you know recap column with the winners 179 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: and losers, pointed out the Falcons could have stayed with 180 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: what they had. They didn't need to address offense really, 181 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: but they did. They went out and got a first 182 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: round wide receiver. Who makes this team. Maybe it's Sarcasian 183 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: proof this year they're one of the best drafting teams, 184 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: which we keep talking about, because they find the right 185 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: people for their offense and their defense. He got him 186 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: going with a kick return, he had a nice cross 187 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 1: the formation catch then had the touchdown. I mean, he 188 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: just added energy to that attack. And he's a perfect 189 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: fit for Atlanta footwork and route running that translates to 190 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: the NFL level and just the wait, just watching him, 191 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: he just he looks like a fun guy to watch. 192 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: Like he does not have to light up, you know, 193 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: four hundred yards the season to have a huge impact 194 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: on that. But I'm all in on these Falcons. That 195 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: does scare the hell out of me though, that that 196 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: you could say maybe this team is uh cannot be 197 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: harmed by their offensive coordinator, Like maybe maybe there is 198 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: enough talent here where even the most vanilla like flawed 199 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: scheme from your offensive genius behind on the sidelines is 200 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: you're not going to be held back by that. But 201 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: that guy has a lot to like show this year 202 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: after what was really the the offense took a step 203 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: back in terms of their firepower, even if the numbers 204 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: were good. He needs to step up. Mean, you you 205 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: do have a case of drifting PTSD after taking Matt 206 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: Ryan and your fantasy league, and I think that that 207 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: bleeds into some of the sphere around them. They look 208 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: look at just watch the watch those games last year. 209 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: That team was not like the tear before. They did 210 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: not have I mean like they didn't have to fall 211 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: off as much as they did from Shanahan. The fall 212 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: off was pretty severe. But by the end of the year, 213 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: I think that Matt Ryan did some good things in 214 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: their defense is what excites me to they can go 215 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: up against the Rams like they did in the playoffs 216 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: and shut them down. Chiefs defense is banged up though 217 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: right now. They they're missing Eric Barry there two inside linebackers. Uh. 218 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Start like they Chiefs that be a little concerned able 219 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: they got a defensive problem. Let's move on the New 220 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: York Giants also known as what Mark. They roll over 221 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: the Lions thirty to seventeen. Uh. And if you're a 222 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: Lions fan, I am a little bit concerned about two 223 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: things that that did not work in this team's favorite 224 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: last year and it's happening again. They don't put any 225 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback. And there's no there were no 226 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: Giants playmaker makers in this game. Uh No, no O'Dell 227 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: Uh Davis Webb played quarterback. Uh. They could not cause 228 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: any havoc in the backfield, and then in the in 229 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: the time where uh Matt Stafford was in the game, 230 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: they couldn't protect Matt Stafford and he got sacked twice 231 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: in three of his possess his three possessions, And you 232 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: just wonder these issues that held this team back last year? 233 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: Did they address any of them? This is why I 234 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: hate the preseason because who knows, really, But in these tiny, 235 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: small samples, it's it seems like they still have the 236 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: same problem that's gonna keep them an eight to max 237 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: out maybe at ten, but like a seven to nine 238 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: win team. On paper, the offensive line looks like a strength, 239 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: but offensive lines are notoriously unpredictable. They're like major league bullpens. 240 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: I mean because going into this year, I think that 241 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: was a reason why we like the Lions, is there 242 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: is their offensive line. I like most of this team, 243 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: and I just have a good feeling about the lines 244 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: this year, which is I don't know, maybe the first 245 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: time that's ever has thirty five years of following football, 246 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: But it's it is their front seven on defense that 247 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: worries me a little bit. That's the one area where 248 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: I agree I agree with Dan. Are we getting pressure 249 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: out of them. I don't I don't know if you 250 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: can win that division or really really compete in that 251 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: division if you can't get to the other quarterbacks in 252 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: the North. And I don't know, I don't see where 253 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna come from right now. I mean, unless you 254 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: try to pull some insane, mega unrealistic trade for Khalil 255 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: mac or something like. I don't know where these pass 256 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: rushers are gonna come from in the August and in 257 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: one of guys that they kind of I would have 258 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: thought would be stepping up, Ashan Robinson, who was the 259 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: second round pick a couple of years ago, like he 260 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: might not even make the team. They don't have young 261 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: players rushing the path through that just look like they're 262 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: going to break out. But one of the best wide 263 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: receiver wide receiving corps around. I think if if they're 264 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: all healthy and it's like there's I think they're gonna 265 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: be fun versus what we always knocked them for being boring, 266 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: even though they win these comeback games. They were not boring, laughing, 267 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: they were not I agree, but they this is there. 268 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: I don't think they're This whole division is more interesting. 269 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: Can they win in the trenches. That's the question I got, 270 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: that's your question. Uh. And if you are not an 271 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: Eli Manning fan, if you feel like Eli is somebody 272 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: that could potentially get benched again or play poor enough 273 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: to get benched again, you then can take some solace 274 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: as a Giants fan. Davis Webb, who did not look 275 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: good in the first preseason game, uh, performed very well 276 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: in his two quarters of play. So there's an option. 277 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: If things go sideways, now you get you get fired 278 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: if you if you bench, everyone gets fired, well, especially 279 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: for Gino Smith. Uh. Let's move on and uh, West 280 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: back to you feeling good about Chris Wesley Right now, 281 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: he's hot, he's throwing successful Westlemania's he's got two ladies 282 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: posting up in in his driveway thrown up Jay's Uh. 283 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: And now you're gonna tell us a little bit about 284 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo and Cleveland. That's not the only Jays you know 285 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: is throwing up there. I don't get the reference, Big Ben. 286 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: Does you know what I love about this game? In 287 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: the first first preseason opener, Josh Allen looked like the 288 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: guy he was built to be, a little bit of ugly, 289 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: but a lot that was electric to watch In this game. 290 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: He was sort of way different than he was built 291 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: to be. A lot of quick short passes uh in 292 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: sort of a no huddle attack moving down the field, 293 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: and I really liked what I saw from him. Again, 294 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: I just think we have to readjust expectations, and it's 295 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: obvious by now that his teammates absolutely love him and 296 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: are confident in him. And it's weird for like veteran 297 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: guys to be saying this. This guy is the real deal. 298 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: He's a playmaker. Let him play so A. J McCarron 299 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: broke his collar bone. There's some debate about whether it's 300 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: going to be a season ending injury or whether it 301 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: was just a small fracture, but either way, we're not 302 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna see him for the rest of the preseason. It 303 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: looked like he was the odd man out in the 304 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: quarterback battle anyways, even though he wasn't starting. Even though 305 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: he started this game, it was basically down to Peterman 306 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: and Alan. When I listened to Sean McDermott, though he 307 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: likes Nathan Peterman, that's just a fact. You can tell. 308 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: He's got a real affection for him and Nathan Peterman, 309 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: to his credit, is seventeen twenty yards and two touchdowns 310 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: and a pick that came on a drop, So he's 311 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: essentially been perfect in the preseason. So he's given every 312 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: reason for McDermott to at least keep this thing going. 313 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: And it sounds like they're gonna keep rotating first team reps. 314 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: I'd be I kind of expect Peter men will start 315 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: the third preseason game, and I anticipate Josh the week 316 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: one starter is coming down to this third preseason game. 317 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: If Josh Allen looks good again, then I think he's 318 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: kind of given them no choice. You just gotta go 319 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: with Josh. They needed to reduce this quarterback room by 320 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: one person as it was this splitting starts and reps, 321 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: so weird to split it this week. I guess, well, 322 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: I get I get that if they because it's not 323 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: just in the general manager loves Nate Peterman. Two. They 324 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: were on the record talking on how they really thought 325 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: he could be a franchise guy. But that same group 326 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: went out and used the first round pick on Josh Allen, 327 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: and the minute Josh Hellen hit the field, that offense 328 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: became entirely different, energized and watchful. And I think that's 329 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: just like we were back in April. Oh, well, these 330 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: guys are all gonna two or three. These guys are 331 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna be red shirted. There is no way you keep 332 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen off the field the minute the Bills hit trouble, 333 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: and they're gonna hit it quick. Yeah, even if for 334 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: some reason Peterman wins, it's gonna be like Hoyer a 335 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, where he's pulled in like the 336 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: third quarter, and Josh Allen you can hold him off 337 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: for I don't know how. Let's realistically, you get about 338 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: a month in the Bills are one in three and 339 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: it's like everyone's gonna be going whether it's week one 340 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: or week four. I mean, I think there's a good 341 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: chance it could it could be week one. I'm just 342 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: any now. Peterman has moved the ball every drive he's 343 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: been in the games, and like everyone wants to write 344 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: off Peterman, there were a couple of drives in the 345 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: last game against the third and fourth string, but he's 346 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: basically the he's done what he could do. Uh if 347 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: if the first round quarterback did exactly. But watching the games, 348 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: Allen looks much more impressive, more impressive, and the fact 349 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: that he's really good in the like Alan like on 350 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: the touchdown throw is good in the pocket. He's looked 351 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: very comfortable, which was supposed to be a knock on him, 352 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: like getting away from pressure. He's shown a lot. They 353 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: just agree with you. They can love Nae Peterman all 354 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: they want, and I think I think they like both 355 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and that's not the worst thing. But you're they're 356 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: killing them their own theory when they go out and 357 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: trade up and do all the stuff and take Josh Allen. 358 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: It's like no draft pedigree and every other argument is 359 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna put Peterman on the bench before October. And now 360 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: it's some words from our sponsors A D T. Oh, 361 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: my goodness.

Age and state restrictions apply. 409 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: All right, let's get back into the games. We move forward, 410 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: and Greg the Miami Football Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers. 411 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: They got they got busy. What did you see? I 412 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: saw the potential for a deeper group of Panthers pass catchers, 413 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: and you get the senseless reading and hearing some coverage 414 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: in Carolina. They're almost overrating this group around Cam Newton. 415 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: It's like, well, this is the year we learned about 416 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. He's finally got great weapons around him, and 417 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: it's like, let's let's calm down. This is still I 418 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: think a below league average group of skill position players 419 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: around Cam Newton at or average. If you just line 420 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: up the thirty two teams, I'd say it's it's much 421 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: better than average. I would think it's unproven. And granted, 422 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm putting a lot of weight at wide receiver, where 423 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: it's definitely below average. When Devin Fund just is your 424 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: clear number one, that's an issue with that said, I'm 425 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm spending positive here. I like this fourth round tight 426 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: end Ian Thomas, who Cam Newton likes a lot to 427 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: who is starting in two tight end sets and just 428 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: has some movement that jumps off the screen and it 429 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: looks like he's going to be a part of that group. 430 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel, who they were hoping could make an impact, 431 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: has made some deep catches in these games, and so 432 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: he might only be like a fourth receiver, but the 433 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: fact that now with that and a more decisive Christian McCaffrey, 434 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: who certainly looked good, now you've got enough people and 435 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: you can start seeing some big plays emerging. Can we 436 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: talk about McCaffrey as a as a pass catcher too? Yeah? Absolutely? Attention, 437 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: please attention, please attention, please attention. Please Christian McCaffrey shooting 438 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: up that got seventy one yards the pay dirt. Oh, 439 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: you have my attention. I Am going to have a 440 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: hard time turning away. I know we did our fantasies 441 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: spectacular last week, but I'm starting to get excited about 442 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey having a major year or two breakout campaign. 443 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: It checks out, it checks out. I'm a little worried 444 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: about their offensive line, which is had three different starters 445 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: in this game too, you know, to injury and Matt Khalil, 446 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: who is one of the guy who's a holdovers a liability. 447 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: So that's when the game's really count Uh. That that's 448 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: on my radar. It's also on my radar that and 449 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: Dominican Sue is making fun of these defensive on Instagram 450 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: for giving up this McCaffrey play. He's just kind of 451 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: like in the comment he just comments and out like 452 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: funny how that works when you give up your best player. 453 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: It should be noted. I think the Dolphins were twenty 454 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: nine and run defense last year with Mr Sue planted 455 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: right in the middle. Wasn't his father's best defenders in 456 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: the world. He wasn't he if he saved, he is 457 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: great run defense. Sorry I'm saying. I'm just stating that 458 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: when you give up seventy one yard touchdown, rounds up 459 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: the gut. That's like something like the twenty ninth ranked 460 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: run defense will do. And then you know, first saying Sue, 461 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: that's sort of how John Gruden talked about Clel Mac 462 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: a little bit, like he was here all last year 463 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: and this defense was a rotten apple. That's fair fair 464 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: points all around here. And I think this this Dolphins 465 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: defense could give up a lot of big plays. Their 466 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: linebackers they're playing two rookies have not looked great. Their 467 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: defensive tackles who are replacing Sue have not looked great. Dolphins, 468 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: and two buried in the f C East. I don't 469 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: know how you get out of that hole. There's only 470 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: two games left, and you know it's the Bills are 471 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: getting a better performance from their offensive guys than we thought, 472 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: so maybe they can. They can end this preseason one 473 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: notch ahead of mind, just as everyone predicted the Patriots too, 474 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: and oh first place game ahead of the Bills and Jets. 475 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: The Dolphins mathematically eliminated from winning the division outright, So 476 00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 1: that's not much moving on. The Zona Cardinals in New 477 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Uh, Josh Rosen. Everybody wants to know about 478 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen. How's he looking all right? So there was 479 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: a seven play, eighty seven yard touchdown drive. He threw 480 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: a touchdown past the Christian Kirk. That's all good, Just 481 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: keeping my fifty five of the eighty seven yards on 482 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: that driver, uh penalty attributed. There was a forty yard 483 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: um pass interference, which you know you could give the 484 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: quarterback credits, and then there was a roughing the passer 485 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: call um. But yeah, Rosen moved the offense and I 486 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: think Sam Bradford, barring uh a knee injury in the 487 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, will be the starter. But he 488 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: is going to he might as well put in one 489 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: of those like you should have like a device where 490 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: he it's around his neck and then there's a long 491 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: like let's say two foot metal pole and then a 492 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: mirror so he could just look at Mr Rosen right over. Appropriate. Yeah, 493 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: because yeah, I forget about the pass rush. You got 494 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: the kid and he's playing by week three, I stand 495 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: by that they're already having him, uh, Josh Rosen change 496 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: his own plays at the line. I think they really 497 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: love this guy and he continues to not like blow 498 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: you away with his preseason status, which is fine because 499 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: they couldn't be more meaningless. But the Christian Kirk touchdown 500 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: pass was beautiful red zone play. And he had this 501 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: one other little play that they noted correctly where he 502 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: got a batted ball and he was just sort of 503 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: sitting in the air and he just did this little 504 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: jump up and knocked it to the ground like a volleyball, 505 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: and it's like that could have been a turnover like 506 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: a tennis serve, right right. I mean they were knocking 507 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: him because of his girlfriend who was the volleyball player, 508 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: but anonymous scout whenever it was that basic creep. I'm 509 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: just sad we're already halfway through Ron wolf ley season. 510 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna I'm gonna miss him. Mother football will 511 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: love the desperate, loves the wretched, loves the down drug. 512 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: The more you try, the more you're gonna be rewarded. 513 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: In this game. I mean that was just the immediate 514 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: reacting to like a rugged run up the middle. Mother 515 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: football loves that. Mother football will love the desperate. Last week, 516 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: I I wondered if, like or imagine him and Bill 517 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: Walton go to Grateful Dead shows together. Now I'm realizing 518 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: what I'm really thinking is that that's basically Bill Walton's 519 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: voice slightly modulated. Let me hear it again. Mother football 520 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: will love the desperate. The more you try, the more 521 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: you're going to be rewarded. The first time West and 522 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: I heard wolf Lee doing a Cardinals game, like four 523 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: or five preseasons ago, I initially did think that it 524 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: was Jesse the body. He's a rather he can do 525 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Why not suddenly do this? 526 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: But you're not halfway through in a good way where 527 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: the Ron Wolf was season greag he does radio, and 528 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: in radio, as I can tell you from my broadcasting roots, 529 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: you need to tell more of a story on radio, 530 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: so you're gonna get more Ron, not less right here. 531 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: This is like spicy beef jerky are and was down 532 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: and and as distracting and um illuminating as Ron is. 533 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: It's not what got my attention and attention. Please attention, 534 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: plays attention, play trade. Kuan Smith has my attention. This 535 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: rookie third round pick for the Saints has a chance 536 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: to be their number two wide receiver. Our our, our 537 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: loyal listener. Adam who gave us that those Burrife taco tips, 538 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: was telling me about a couple of weeks ago that 539 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: he might pass Ted again, he might pass Cameron Meredith 540 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: and watching him in these two games, just battling for 541 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: contested catches like he's done in practice all month, Like 542 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: the Saints are really high on him, and Sean Payne 543 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: is not afraid to put a young guy in there. 544 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: If he's competing, you're saying number not number three receiver. 545 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: You're saying he's got I don't. In the end, it 546 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: doesn't matter because Ted Gain had like the fourth amount 547 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: of snaps and one loves yeah, he had the fourth 548 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: amount of snaps in the most yards on that team. 549 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: I just think he's going to be in that mix 550 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: with again Meredith and maybe maybe he ends up being 551 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: more valuable than Meredith, who is coming off a serious injury, 552 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: has made no noise in camp. And this guy, Tracoon 553 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: Smith is just like battling these Saints cornerbacks every day 554 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: and he's done in the preseas. I know, we love 555 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers developing receivers, but you put Michael Thomas and 556 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: you got this guy. Like the Saints do it themselves. 557 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: They always have Under Payton. By the way, Jesse about it, 558 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: Ventura was a analyst for the XFL. Oh, yeah, that's right. 559 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: It just continues to check out there. And the governor 560 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: of Minnesota, he did, what's up with you? And guys, wait, 561 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: why are you taking shots? It's not even shots, it's 562 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: just like what is going on there? Was the country. 563 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: It's just like, you know, your tone though your tone 564 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: is a little bit like, what's wrong with you? Guys? 565 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: The well they went from Ventura, you know Al Franken, 566 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: who I like. But I just it's they're always They're 567 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: always willing to pick kind of wacky guys. The rest 568 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: of the states aren't doing that great either. Yeah, let's 569 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: move to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Minnesota. Vikings Jaguars fourteen 570 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: to tend Oh that defense on display again, Mark Cesler 571 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins did not look like the richest man 572 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: in the world, which is not The defense is on display. 573 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: But I my attention is going somewhere else. Please we 574 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: can get to all that up in the booth. My 575 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: attention is on general manager Dave Caldwell. I'm gonna tell 576 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: you why move here? Because you are sitting on what 577 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: is a Super Bowl CUSP team, and there is one 578 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: quarterback out there that I think the Jets would not 579 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: have a problem trading to you for the right cost, 580 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: because I got getting tweets. Trade Teddy Bridgewater to the 581 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: Patriots so that they can team build. Be an idiot 582 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: post Tom Brady. He's on a one year contract. That 583 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: are you wanting me the Jets front office and say 584 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: we traded more best looking quarterbacks to the Patriots. The 585 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: Jaguars work though, And here's the thing with Blake Bortles. 586 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: I I honestly defended Blake Bortles more than some because 587 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: I thought tireless no. I thought that he played well 588 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: in the playoffs and when he's playing pristinely well, and 589 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: the way that they were calling plays they can win 590 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: those games. But we saw a couple of passes in 591 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: this Minnesota game where Bordles, staring down receivers, had one 592 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: ricochet off of defensive backs hands and then he just 593 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: put it right into Harrison Smith's bread basket. And then 594 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: that game was over for the Jaguars. And and so 595 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: how often you go get Bridgewater for probably a more 596 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: affordable costs than you'd think if you if they're trying, 597 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: they have to unload him at some point. The Jaguars 598 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: don't have to start them in week one. They can 599 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: stick with Blake Bortles, but they have something other than 600 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: nothing behind them if they get into trouble. This is 601 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: a team with a Super Bowl window, and these things 602 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: shut quickly. You know, if if Teddy Bridge has another 603 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: good preseason game, there is no reason. And I understand 604 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: it's not fiscally the greatest thing to carry so much 605 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: money in your QB room, But the Deaths don't have 606 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: to unload him before a week one. They can wait 607 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: until Blake Bortles or in certain name here falls on 608 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: his face or gets angel and then pull the trade, 609 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: just like Jimmy J got traded. Think they would they 610 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: have plenty of cap room. If they don't get a 611 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: good enough offer, I think they would wait it out. 612 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: I think I think it's possible they get Jimmy G 613 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: trade value. I know that's crazy, but I don't think 614 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: that's I think they gatriots should have gotten much, much, 615 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: much more for Jimmy G. So I don't think it's 616 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: crazy that they can look at that as a we're 617 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: giving you what is a franchise quarterback. This is the 618 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: market value for that. I just want to remind everyone 619 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,959 Speaker 1: that Blake Bordles quote unquote impressive playoff performance includes one 620 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: of the worst passing performances we've ever seen in the postseason. 621 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: You mean the Bills game. Yeah, I would I agree, 622 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: but I would also point to and I think it 623 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: was Nathaniel Hackett in the way he had that offense 624 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: rolling in general, like, they still run a couple of 625 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: plays that maximized Blake borders when they get like three 626 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: they had three tight ends in there on one one 627 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: snap and unleash it to a running back for a 628 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: big game. You can't do that all game long. Though. 629 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: It's the perfect place for him, because I think he 630 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: should go to a place where it's like a team 631 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: that can just get a look see at him. He 632 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: doesn't have to start right away. He can replace him 633 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: later if he needs to, and then maybe he's in 634 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: the building and he's easier to resign. You know all 635 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: of that. Uh, And I did attempt to set you up, Mark, 636 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: I apologize that I was in communication with you prior 637 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: to the show. Kirk Cousins in the Vikings offense first 638 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: team off and struggled mightily in this game. But that's 639 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: not what you wanted to talk about. Well, I just 640 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: just won't take that much from that, to be honest, 641 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: I just I just would need to see that in September. 642 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,959 Speaker 1: And it should also be noted that the Vikings no 643 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: longer have a kicker battle because Kai's Kai is Kay's 644 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: by that's it. They're moving forward with the rookie Daniel Carlson, 645 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: who's kicked extremely well in camp and uh and so 646 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: far in the preseason. So Kai is on the street. 647 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: But Kai is one of those guys Guy's guy Greg 648 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: that he'll catch on somewhere and he'll probably kicking three 649 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: years from now. I hope it's not for the Chargers. 650 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say I got a sandwich. It 651 00:32:54,200 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: says he's in a chargers and at trotting out there 652 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: in week eight and we're just making Kai's Kai jokes. 653 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: I imagine Kai, it must be in the forebath house 654 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: right now, based on everything we know, that's probably not 655 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: an easy place to be, right, not an easy place. Well, 656 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: but it falls a little on his shoulders. It falls 657 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: on his shoulders. Well, he was put behind a ball. 658 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: He had a nice season last year. Shot, when you're 659 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: a kicker and you watch the team draft a kicker 660 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: anything above fifth or brown or above, immediately asked for 661 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: your release because you're getting cut later than you need 662 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: to be, don't you think? Don't you think in that 663 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: house right now that Kai is thinking I never got 664 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: a fair shot. This isn't fair. Life's not fair. He's 665 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: very upset. He's very mad right now. Mark I completely 666 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: agreed Dan. I'm sure he is seething, and he has 667 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: got to try to pick up the pieces and figure 668 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: out what's next for him. He just spun Kai, mommy dearest, 669 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: let's move on. Come on, Ben, show some compassion. The 670 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: old Lin Raiders and l a Rams uh square off West, 671 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: What do you got? Well, nothing from the Rams got 672 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: my attention because Sean McVeigh has decided that the preseason 673 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: doesn't exist. He's only he's only playing backups, which makes 674 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: sense to me, like only play the starters for one week. 675 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: So bored of the preseason. But someone on the Raiders 676 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: has my attention. Attention, please attention, please attention. Please. If 677 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: you are a team in need of a running back, 678 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: come and hang out next to the Raiders at cutdown 679 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: day because they are gonna have to cut someone who's good, 680 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: aren't they. Jayleen Richard, DeAndre Washington, Doug Martin, Marshawn Lynch. 681 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: The one who has my attention is Chris Warren, the 682 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: son of the great Seahawks running back Chris Warren. This 683 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: guy is an old school power back and he got 684 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: my attention in the first week. Um, and then next 685 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: next week against the Rams, he's he he's gonna break tackles, 686 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: he's gonna play. I don't know how you keep this 687 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 1: guy off the field. Um, I really think he's making 688 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 1: the roster. They can't let this guy go. You almost 689 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: can't have too big of a preseason performance because then 690 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: suddenly it's on everyone's radar and in the typical move, 691 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: we try to sneak him through on the practice squad 692 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: and and and stash in there. But that season you're 693 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: not gonna get there. If you listen to Gruden, he 694 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: Chris Warren is everything John Gruden loves and believes is 695 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: holy about football, like he worships Chris Warren. Just how tough. 696 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: Like they're going to change the name to the Las 697 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: Vegas Chris Warrens when they move there, make him the logo. 698 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,959 Speaker 1: Probably not, but I just feel like you can't cut 699 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: the guy who's like embodying everything you're trying to be. 700 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: Can I ask that question? Is it possible that this 701 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: man belongs on the Zack zent are all Stars, that 702 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: he's a preseason stud? Anything's possible. I thought it was 703 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: telling that um before the first preseason game was even over. 704 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: After just one or two runs of Vic Taper, who's 705 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: been following this team for a lot of years as 706 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: a beat writer, said, based on what he's shown in 707 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: training camp, Chris Warren already has this roster made. Everyone 708 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 1: assumes Doug Martin has made the team, and it seems 709 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: like the Raiders are are really big on him. Doesn't 710 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,839 Speaker 1: make sense. He doesn't have any guaranteed money, and he 711 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: really hasn't played that well for a few years, so 712 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: I could see I could see that changing. And Marshall 713 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: Lynch definitely yeah, and he's look he looks good. He's 714 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: got all sorts of guarantee. Mind, the Rams have a 715 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: little bit of have some issues right now. That the 716 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: fact that they're bringing Junior Gallet for a tryout is 717 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: telling because that's a move of a desperate team. They 718 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,760 Speaker 1: had virtually no edge rushers coming into camp. Their number 719 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: one EDE rusher is a guy uh Abucom who uh 720 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: Sam's versus Sampson Abucom. And then after that, the next 721 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: three guys who are basically who basically have done very 722 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: little at the at this level, including Matt long Acre, 723 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: are all hurt. I mean, they have no one at 724 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: that position. Mark Barron hasn't practiced since last year either 725 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: an inside linebacker. They're suddenly pretty thin there A right, 726 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: anything else, general, Let's move on Mark Sessler, Cincinnati ben 727 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: Gals and Dallas Cowboys in action. What are you seeing, 728 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: Buddy little concerned about concern is the wrong word there. 729 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,919 Speaker 1: Nothing is that concerning in August right, we'll start there. 730 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: But like the Bengals really were impressive. I thought on 731 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: offense in their first go around, and they really there 732 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: was very little to speak of. I thought, maybe that's 733 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: a credit to Dallas or whatever happened in that game. 734 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: But in the on the flip side, Carlos Dunlop talked 735 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: about this is the best to find Stens defensive line 736 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 1: that he's ever seen in Cincinnati, and he's been there 737 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: so I think for nine years, and I mean have 738 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: Gino Atkins. He talked about some younger guys too that 739 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: did not happen in this game. Dak Prescott is far 740 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: from a pristine quarterback. I find him a little tough 741 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: to watch some times, to be honest. But they the 742 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys went up and down the field against them. Once 743 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: they got rolling. I will say one thing you cannot 744 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: with the zukul el in the way they're going to 745 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: use them. That one thing that they're smart to do 746 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: is develop someone behind them. And one guy that has 747 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: my attention, attention, please attention, please attention, please attention, please, 748 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: Rod Smith. I think he's a good backup running back. 749 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: I think they got something there and like that for 750 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: the years when they had one quarterback and nothing behind him, 751 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 1: and then the team totally collapses. You cannot lose Ezekiel 752 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: Elliott for four weeks with some sort of lower body 753 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: injury and then leave the running game to to really 754 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: nothing behind him. So he looked, he looked like he 755 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: played really well with Prescott two in the last game. 756 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: That's about all I got from this one. This was 757 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: a snoozer. I was covering this in my house and 758 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: I was praying for its No, it was like this 759 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: was a long I I want one take on preseason games, 760 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 1: and I don't like to pour it on on our 761 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: message board during the during these workships, but it's like 762 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: I was, the preseason games are the longest. They feel 763 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: five times longer than the average football game. They're they're 764 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 1: made to be watched with a fast forward button. Absolutely 765 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: so it live. It kills that for Cincinnati undefeated at 766 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: two and oh, this is something to keep an eye on. 767 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: Greg oh and two. Both the Cowboys and the Eagles 768 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: halfway to infamy. Moving on greg Um, Jamis Winston, Marcus Mariotta. 769 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: They finally settled it. They finally go head to head 770 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: and we decide who is the superior quarterback. And based 771 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: on that game alone, it was they would have to 772 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: be jamis shocking. I guess shocking. I mean he's been 773 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,280 Speaker 1: throwing bombs this preseason. I'm not gonna get too carried 774 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: away with it other than he has among the best 775 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: skill position talent I believe in the NFL surrounding him, 776 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: or at least receiving talent. You cannot count running back 777 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: in that mix. When you count O. J. Howard, who 778 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: looks like he's really coming in his second season, and 779 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: Cameron brad that's a great tight end group. And we've 780 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: talked about the deep wide receivers and Winston looks a 781 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: little different this year. This wasn't gonna be my one point, 782 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: but since you set that up, that's it. Attention, please attention, 783 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: please attention, please attention. Please, this is your guy to 784 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: talk about two It isn't, but I'm just gonna I'm 785 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: just gonna spit it and make it Taywan Taylor. Why 786 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 1: not Lebron's attention? Because look, this is Evan Silva's favorite 787 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: player about coming into the preseason. I love watching this 788 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: guy play. The opportunities obviously they're in Tennessee. To make 789 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: a big impact, someone needs to step up in that 790 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: receiver and Taylor looks like might be the guy. So 791 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: he's got my attention. There we go. It was a surprise. No, 792 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: that was good. That was good. That's very good. Moving on, Uh, 793 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco and Houston. All right, listen, listen. No reason 794 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,839 Speaker 1: to have any concerns about Jimmy Jimmy g Q. They 795 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: call him, you know, they called him that, and I 796 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: am I'm actually okay with us a nickname. Don't care 797 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: you say. But I think this is about to take off. Initially, 798 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: my thought was maybe a month ago, um, that the 799 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: Niners people are maybe getting a little over excited and 800 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: maybe now is not the year. And I still do 801 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: kind of feel that just because the NF NO. But 802 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: it's like, well, are we gonna talk about preseason games 803 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,280 Speaker 1: or not. You guys will have to get excited off games, 804 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: but I can't. I'm going on get excited. Jimmy g Q. 805 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: Uh just looks so comfortable and and I think the 806 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: connection between Shanahan and Garoppolo g A R R O 807 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: P O l O. Yeah, that's it. I finally got it. Uh, 808 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: he was. He was awesome in this game. He threw 809 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 1: an interception, but not even really his fault. Uh, it 810 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: was off a receiver's hand. Um. So, despite the preseason 811 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: being tedious and we're so close, so close to London, 812 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 1: and then once we're in London, a real football game, 813 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: I can tell you that I enjoyed watching Garoppolo on 814 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: the field because that kid's a star. That's take away. 815 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: That game had a little bit of a different field 816 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: to it than some other preseason games. But I will 817 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 1: say this, and I get that the tackle rules of 818 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: work in progress. There was a scenario, Dan, did you 819 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: see this? When Raheem Muster from the Texans on a 820 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 1: special team tackle the Niners. Guy monstered, I don't know 821 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: how you teach a tackle to anyone in this new 822 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: world and do anything other than what he did, which 823 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,879 Speaker 1: was essentially go to his knees, take the guy out 824 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: from the side with his helmet as far away as 825 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: he possibly humanly could have made it and not create 826 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: some sort of head to head collision. And it's flagged, 827 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: and the whole place is going nuts, and it's going 828 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,280 Speaker 1: crazy on Twitter because it is an incredibly bizarre visual 829 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: diagram of what they're calling. But of all these plays 830 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: that people got fired about, this one just seemed like 831 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: it was a bad call, Like I'm sorry to say it, 832 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: but bad guys are gonna happen, Like people are going nuts. 833 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: But to me, there's like five or six, Like you 834 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: can pick five or six pass interference cause this weekend 835 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: that were just as bad or worse. Hopefully that it'll 836 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 1: get straightened out, but I do think like to immediately 837 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: reverse these decisions. It's but there's gonna be bad calls 838 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: like that. If that there's only been a couple that 839 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: haven't made any sense. That was absolutely one of them. 840 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I think the ree I think it's 841 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,880 Speaker 1: a lot a lot of this is optics. I totally 842 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: get that these are human beings, and I think it's 843 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 1: a tough tough for the refs. It's a tough sign 844 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: to go, hey, refs, go make these calls because a 845 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: lot of them are happening in bizarre situations. But it 846 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,280 Speaker 1: is an optics thing, and they can't have this floating 847 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: around as something that they didn't reverse. That they sit, 848 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: they sit on and then they have to go. They 849 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: go quiet about it. You've got to explain, guys, work 850 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: in progress. But we did not get this right. There's 851 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: not gonna be any two days later or whatever. They're 852 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: not gonna why not. Then I'm not saying reverse the call, 853 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: but come out and say, we got this looks bad 854 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: all of you. Yeah, you can't reverse the call in 855 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: the field. That's not in the rule book. But I 856 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 1: agree that someone river On or whoever should come out 857 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: and say, hey, we it is gonna be a problem 858 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 1: that it's not reversible. Come week fifteen, when the Steelers 859 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 1: lose to the Patriots again and everyone's freaking out about 860 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,760 Speaker 1: this rule, I do think it will fade away. And 861 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,919 Speaker 1: and I think the preseason sort of doesn't matter with 862 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: with the calls and with with the results, and so 863 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,360 Speaker 1: let's judge it on the regular season. But I also 864 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 1: think that all of people going so nuts in so 865 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 1: angry about it, it's a little disingenuous because every single 866 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 1: one of those people were killing the NFL for trying 867 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,839 Speaker 1: not to make the sports safer. And it's like, yeah, 868 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: there's gonna be growing pains here for a year or two. 869 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: They're changing the sport. And if you if like, if 870 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 1: you don't like it, like that's just that it is 871 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: the reality, and they're trying to do something. That's an 872 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: assumption just to say that that's that's that two groups 873 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: of people are all the same exact person in event. 874 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 1: And it's also honestly a little reductive in terms of 875 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: there might not be a solution like let's just keep it. 876 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: Really this idea that it's gonna be tough, but you 877 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 1: wanted the game to be safer, so we're gonna take 878 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,879 Speaker 1: out these It's not an option. I'm just saying like 879 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: that that might be the core of the problem here 880 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,280 Speaker 1: is that you cannot take out those type of tackles 881 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 1: from the game and it's just gonna mess up the 882 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 1: game because there is no path solution to make the 883 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: game safer. And as in every game, it's it's it's 884 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: not happening that. But if you're but the argument is 885 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, that's just gonna go away once football starts, 886 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: Like then what are we doing here. I don't think 887 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna go away. I just want to judge it 888 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: based on the stuff that does matter. There's gonna be 889 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: calls I think every week that drive people crazy. I'm 890 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: just saying, if you look at all these games, this 891 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,839 Speaker 1: is not getting called that much, even in the preseason. 892 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: It's a handful of things, and if the overall arc 893 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: is that in five years people have kind of learned 894 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,760 Speaker 1: to not tackle with their head down. Then it's a success, 895 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be how how it is, 896 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 1: there's also rules in effect to keep the quarterbacks safe 897 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 1: that will drive you crazy sometimes when you're just trying 898 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,919 Speaker 1: to watch football game, defenseless receivers going over the middle. 899 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,479 Speaker 1: Sometimes they get the calls, sometimes they don't. You add 900 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: in this to those two existing things, I get very 901 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: nervous that the game, the quality game is gonna go 902 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: way down. But we'll see that was the problem. I 903 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen it worse than last year 904 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: where it called, where games were just over officiated and 905 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: it interrupted the momentum, the flow of the game. The 906 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 1: catro was probably the number one in river Ron, and 907 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: river Ron said it at our at our talent summit 908 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: that we are aware the entertainment is a priority. So 909 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 1: I hope that somehow they're able to marry that concept 910 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,799 Speaker 1: with making it safer. Ever made pastrami at home? What 911 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: a pivot that's got my attention? About smoked salmon? Yes, 912 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 1: slab of bacon? Is that a thing? The copy says 913 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: it is duck comfe that's not something that's a juice. 914 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: You've definitely ordered. The funny thing is you've probably ordered it. 915 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: You love your some duck. Never had duck, I can 916 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,359 Speaker 1: honestly say that it's delicious. Calm down, I've never had. 917 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,319 Speaker 1: You're a you're a meat lover. You're missing out in life, 918 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: maybe the number one meat and of all the meats 919 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: that's not. Come on, it's up there. Give me some 920 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: give me some beef. Yeah, okay, I've even had. I've 921 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: had when I was back in the meetting days, like 922 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: Chinese excellent, Chinese houses prepare awesome duck exactly. It is 923 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 1: incredibly tasty. You're at a nice restaurant and like you're 924 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: not really sure what, You're not really sure what to get. 925 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,919 Speaker 1: It's hard to mess up the duck. I mean, you're gonna, 926 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna beautiful animal. Though I do have some moral 927 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: issues with eating that thing though, because of beauty, beautiful neck. 928 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that you do at all.

All right, 955 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:34,240 Speaker 1: let's close this out. The Bears and the Broncos. Mark 956 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:39,240 Speaker 1: Sessla make it sing. If I had a third attention 957 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 1: getter one, but I'm not calling for it, I would 958 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 1: say that that I see you, John Elway, because this 959 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: guy is getting fill ayed for his draft picks. And no, no, 960 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 1: there's two guys that I think will make immediate and 961 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 1: severe impacts on both sides of the ball. Bradley Chubb 962 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 1: is the real deal. Watching him drop Trabsky to the 963 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,880 Speaker 1: ground for a safety and just in general, they put 964 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: him on the field with Van von Miller and like 965 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,720 Speaker 1: the two of them to get a ton of credit. Cleveland. 966 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: Cleveland could have could have gone quarterback. There there were 967 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 1: a lot of things he could write. He could have 968 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: had Josh Allen, so you never know. And I think 969 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton We've talked about him before, but hey, immediately 970 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,440 Speaker 1: when he's on the field, he's making plays. My one 971 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: concern though, again, I think there's a lot of young 972 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that we're getting excited about. The potential of and 973 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: lost a little bit in the shuffle as Mitchell Trabsky 974 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 1: where I I'm watching him and I'm seeing him do 975 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: something good. Look, he's got good chemistry with with Trey Burton. 976 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 1: But then I saw a bone headed pick where someone 977 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 1: jumped route. I've seen overthrows and again, maybe it's just 978 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: another big sweeping. Doesn't matter because it's week two of 979 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: the preseason and there's there behind the scenes. They love 980 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,280 Speaker 1: this guy so much, so let's just see what happens. 981 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,280 Speaker 1: But he's not the guy. When I'm watching every quarterback 982 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,399 Speaker 1: through all these preseason games, it's like standing out week 983 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 1: to week. Is this top five, top six offering? He 984 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 1: just I just don't see it. Manufacture it out of 985 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: enough drop the drop the snap for a safety, which 986 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean shouldn't happen too often, but you never like 987 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 1: seeing that. I'm with he's heading up and down camp. 988 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: I think by all reports too, he is someone I'm 989 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 1: trying to think of them like the Chiefs in that 990 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,279 Speaker 1: whatever Matt Naggie is going to do, I don't think 991 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna see it until the rightular season, and I 992 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: hope he'll uncork some fun stuff that will just make 993 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 1: Drobisky look good. Finally Gregg rows with all the Seahawks. Oh, 994 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 1: by the way, Paxton Lynch still getting buried by le 995 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 1: Broncos fans. So here's another game that I was covering. 996 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 1: I said, look at I've sent in my points about this. 997 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: If Paxton Lynch does something, because we had Chad Kelly, 998 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 1: if monitor I thought had another good game, I said, 999 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,359 Speaker 1: if Paxiston Lynch does literally anything of note other than underperform, 1000 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,840 Speaker 1: dial me up and I'll add a couple of sentences 1001 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 1: for you. But I'm not gonna watch this for another 1002 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 1: twenty minutes to deal with Packton upset you last week. 1003 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 1: Called Chad Kelly, you're number one through number five favorite player. 1004 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 1: I think you'd get at least like a nugge and 1005 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: he looked. I think it's called show variety. We discussed him. 1006 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: We'll hit him again. We'll hit him again. Close it out, Greg, Yeah, 1007 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 1: little little lesson podcasting, Mr hands In. I am humbled. Uh. 1008 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 1: Jeron Brown stuck out to me in this game. Just 1009 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: because the Seahawks need a wide receiver and they say 1010 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 1: they like Brandon Marshall, who hasn't had a single catch 1011 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 1: in his preseason. Just like last regular season, right, and 1012 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 1: I just don't know, and they have they have no 1013 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,479 Speaker 1: one to throw to. And John Brown is the number 1014 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: four receiver back in Arizona, but in in Seattle a 1015 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin hurt like, who knows he might be your 1016 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: number one Seattle receiver? Uh? Did he look like bigger 1017 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 1: and he made some good plays. I don't know, Like 1018 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,280 Speaker 1: I just Cardinals. The Cardinals liked him before he towards 1019 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,480 Speaker 1: a c L. They really liked him. He's someone if 1020 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: you were in like a really deep fantasy league. It 1021 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,400 Speaker 1: just seems like he's someone's gonna have to be a 1022 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 1: factor there because Russell Wilson's too good not to put 1023 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 1: up passing. What former Cardinals receiver named Brown will be 1024 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 1: truly redeemed by this season? Mark Sessler, I think John 1025 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 1: Brown gotta go. John sign everything over in Baltimore. Greg, 1026 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: what about this guy though? David Moore? He also yeah, 1027 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,439 Speaker 1: like a deep guy, looks like he's gonna make the team. 1028 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,440 Speaker 1: I think a seventh round pick who kind of came 1029 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 1: out of nowhere, which is their specialty. I mean, Chris Carson, 1030 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,359 Speaker 1: I cannot believe this guy got taken in the seventh round. 1031 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 1: He always finds one way to screw up his great game, 1032 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: which he did in this one with a fumble or 1033 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 1: he gets hurt or something. But when he runs, I'm like, 1034 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: how is this guy not a top twenty pick in 1035 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 1: the draft? He just looks like a total freak show. 1036 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:31,560 Speaker 1: He's awesome. And another uh, Sea Bass will be kicking 1037 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 1: uh in the NFL because the team announced Seahawks that 1038 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 1: Jason Myers has been cut. Uh So there you go. 1039 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: That's been under the radar. Sea Bass as a Seahawk 1040 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: is exciting. I'm on all right, anything else to say? 1041 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 1: Just in general, guys, As we reached the end of 1042 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: another podcast, I just want to plod whoever picked out, 1043 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,759 Speaker 1: you know, West and Keisha's house, because if you've got 1044 00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 1: a house where you don't even need to go inside 1045 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 1: the house to have a great party with plenty of 1046 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 1: room and beautiful surroundings, you've got you've got a house 1047 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: that we're gonna be going to a lot of parties 1048 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 1: in that house, is what I'm was what I'm feeling. 1049 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 1: We walked through the inside. It was an open house situation. 1050 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: We walked through the inside when we when we first 1051 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,760 Speaker 1: saw it for the open house and we weren't that impressed. 1052 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: And then as soon as we stepped into the sun 1053 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: room in the backyard, I was like, yeah this, I'll 1054 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 1: move heaven and Earth to get this place. Yeah, that 1055 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: Keith that she's she's gonna turn this. There's a little 1056 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: like a porch area that leads to the backyard that 1057 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 1: she's going to turn into her What she explained to 1058 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 1: me is like a woman's cave. Oh yeah, and you've 1059 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,800 Speaker 1: signed off on that. Yeah, you're gonna give up that 1060 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 1: real estate? Yeah? Wait, which from the giant port room 1061 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: is all going to her. It has so much potential. 1062 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 1: But I like my little you know, garage parship. It's 1063 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,919 Speaker 1: gonna be like her, little like Lilith fair. One note 1064 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 1: like odd place to put a cave because anyone going 1065 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 1: to the outside, we'll need to walk through the cave. 1066 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,839 Speaker 1: Like in in theory, you'd want the cave where through 1067 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:59,319 Speaker 1: somewhere where no one would ever actually need a right 1068 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: back Wednesday show, which will also be a video show. 1069 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 1: We will uh uh you know, we like to touch 1070 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 1: touch base where the where hot butts are.
