1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Your tunes about driven Home of the Black and Goal

00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and Matt get some of my reports out

4
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: there that if the injury news on t J. Watt

5
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: better than what anyone would have expected, maybe three to

6
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: four weeks, we'll see. Uh that's not me reporting that.

7
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: That's uh um, you know, I am not saying there was.

8
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: Like I said yesterday, there was a lot of stuff.

9
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: You've got to torn Peck and I'm like, what's the source,

10
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, you said it here, And I'm like, okay,

11
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: So now we're a lip reader. Yeah, I mean you're

12
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: reporting background. Obviously, you can't just be a player. One

13
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: second after it happens walking off the field says he

14
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: tore u back means he tore us back. Let the

15
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: doctor at least look at it, you know, So who knows. Um,

16
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: the way I see it is, if it's six weeks

17
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: or less, who I mean, brush off the brow. You

18
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: can survive that, I mean, yeah, absolutely. Plus you got

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: one in hand, did everybody did? Everybody had already penciled.

20
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a loss. Yeah, right, you know, I

21
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: mean I I know their schedule gets tough, and I'm

22
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: not predicting them to you know, go seventeen and oh,

23
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: but this first four games after that win, I think

24
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: three and one and four and oh aren't crazy talk.

25
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: I don't think so either. I mean New England is bad,

26
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the more this week. They're bad.

27
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: You and I have been on this train now for

28
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: a while. Yes, Um, Now that doesn't mean they can't

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: come in here and beat the Steelers. Their favored by

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: a point, which is nuts. That was well that that

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: that total was out. I looked at that. It was

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: actually out last week. That makes more sense. Yeah, before

33
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: anybody had played, that was the That was the line.

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Because you can on on a lot of the sites,

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: like I go to Draft Kings when I do a

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff, and I was scrolling down and

37
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking and I'm like, oh, they already have sex.

38
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Next week's up. This was like last Wednesday or Thursday.

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm like New England's favored in Pittsburgh by a point

40
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: a time. I bet more bet if I look at

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: it now. Now, maybe they didn't change it because of

42
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: the one morning it was it was one Yeah, it

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: was maybe they haven't adjusted those things yet. But I'm

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: gonna match Jones and supposedly he's okay, but he had

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: a back, he looked bad, and their offense was awful. Oh,

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there were some really horrid, horrid quarterback performances.

47
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: There was a lot of roster, lot of you know,

48
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: people out of shape. And I do not want to

49
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: overreact to Week one in any facet, good, bad, or ugly,

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: but teams like Dallas and the Patriots Tennessee, I think

51
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: it's signed to worry about those guys, honestly. Mean, you know,

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: I looked at one point, Jamis Winston was like eight

53
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: of fifteen or eight of sixteen for like fifty yards.

54
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: That was like half, and then he lit the world

55
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: on fire. Yeah, okay, So right now the Patriots so

56
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: favored by one. I'm like, just get your bets in now.

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: I did this morning, saw like is that for real?

58
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: And that was even thinking Mac might not play. I

59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be fine, but he had a back

60
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: tightness order. Here's how close it is this kind of

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: so the money line on that, So the Patriots are favored, yeah,

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: mind you. So the money line is Patriots minus one

63
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: fifteen Steelers minus one oh five. So it's neck and neck.

64
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they're that's gonna switch soon. I mean,

65
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh is a better team. They played better

66
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: in Week one. They're at home, They're at home, and

67
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: his back to back road games for the Dolphin exactly.

68
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, the Steelers just played five full

69
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: quarters and that takes a toll the next week, but

70
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: they played in Miami in the sweltering heat and looked

71
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: like they were dead at halftime. Yeah, I mean, I

72
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: don't know if you probably don't get a chance to

73
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: see many of the one o'clock games. Yeah, but besides

74
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: the unbelievable swamp game in Chicago, there was not a

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: worse offense yesterday than the Patriots. I mean, it was miserable.

76
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Maybe Dallas trumped him late at night, but man, I mean,

77
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: you thought the Steelers offense was bad, Go, what's the

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Patriots bad? There's some interesting lines here opening up here

79
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: for a week two just looking at him here. Um,

80
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night game is Los Angeles in Kansas City, three

81
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: days away from Chiefs Chargers. Uh. I don't know if

82
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: you're with me on this cityet or not or sunk

83
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: it in But I really think the Bills, Chiefs, Chargers

84
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: are kind of at a different level in the rest

85
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: of the league, and those three quarterbacks are miraculous. I mean,

86
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: I still think Tampa's good, but I mean I listened

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: to that game when the drive back last night in Tampa.

88
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Was their defense was really good? Yeah? And it was

89
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: their defense that good? Or was Dallas that bad? Dallas

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: has no weapons Ceedee lamb and nothing. Say they like

91
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: five guys on Ceedee Lamb and Dac wasn't play. The

92
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: offense wasn't good before he got hurt. They're they're blockings, troublesome.

93
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: Zeke doesn't look the same and they got one weapon.

94
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: I was down on Dallas before the injury. Now I

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: think their season shot. You know, um so Kansas City

96
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: favored by three and a half. Then you get the

97
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: Steelers Patriots KA. But that must be in Kansas City.

98
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: You got Washington detroits, especially in Detroit. Detroit's favored by

99
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: two and a half. I can see that. But those

100
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: teams were very respectable. Yesterday. Uh, Baltimore hosts Miami. That's

101
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: an interesting game. Yeah, that's a really interesting game. Both

102
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: those teams played really well. Yesterday, Um, Miami and Minnesota.

103
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: To me, I know it's only one game. Don't never

104
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: react to do this every year. Made me think there

105
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: might be more playoff like teams than I thought. You know,

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: Miami and Minnesota that they both were exceeded my expectations.

107
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: But you just said New England was awful. Well right,

108
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: I thought New England was awful before they kicked it off. Yeah,

109
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: right now I feel more. I think they're even more

110
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: even more. Miami had their way with them and played well. Uh,

111
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: Cleveland hosts the Jets. There are six point favorite. I

112
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: guess that adds up. Um, New York was bad too.

113
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Indianapolis has to go on the road again to the

114
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: other division opponent. This time they go to Jacksonville. Can

115
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: they lose? They've lost? I think what is the seven

116
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: straight games in Jacksonville? That's their kryptonite without question, And

117
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: that's a one o'clock game in jacks It's gonna be hot.

118
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: They just tied Houston. It's gonna be hot in Jacksonville.

119
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: They didn't play great in that game. Yeah, Caroline is

120
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: at the Giants. Can the Giants start to and oh

121
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: they're they're two and a half point favorites, the big

122
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay New Orleans. Yeah, Tampa Bay is at New Orleans.

123
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: The Saints getting three points at home. Wow, I mean

124
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: that's the Buck script tonight, that's the Bucks script. And night.

125
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: They lost their left tackle last night. Godwin shouldn't. Probably

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play. He's not gonna play. Julio look

127
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: better than I thought, But I mean I think are

128
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: a little fragile. You got Atlanta at the Rams. That's

129
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: a ten point game. So Atlanta, I'm not gonna lump

130
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: the Bears there because of how crazy their game was.

131
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: But like Atlanta, Houston, the Giants, Jacksonville, I think I'm

132
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: missing another one. The Weed hast assumed would be awful.

133
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: They all played pretty well yesterday, you know, like they

134
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: might not stink. I think that's what you're shooting for

135
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: if you're Atlanta, right, you know, Yeah, Seattle has to

136
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: turn around and go to San Francisco. They're wonderful. Say

137
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: the same about them tomorrow or not. Yeah, they're nine

138
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: point underdogs San Francisco. Wo. Yeah, I'm gonna brush some

139
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: of that op off because of the weather. I mean,

140
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: things like Bosa can't kill the rookie tackle because he

141
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: can't get off the ball. But it's a little worrisome.

142
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean if you're the Niners, I mean Lanston too much. No,

143
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: he did not h Cincinnati's at Dallas. That's good for

144
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: that's a good rebound game for the Yeah, but it's

145
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: it's it is in Dallas or so since they a

146
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: seven point favorite on the road. Wow, that's a big number.

147
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: But Dallas is in trouble. It's could be rush. Yeah.

148
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: He did beat Minnesota last year in his only career

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: start and in yeah, in Minnesota, I believe. Uh. Arizona

150
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: is at the Raiders. They're five and a half point Underdognal.

151
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Both those teams kind of need that already. Yeah, they lost.

152
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Arizona can't afford to get off O two oh and

153
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: two now Raiders. Yeah, but both those teams played three

154
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: of those great teams in my opinion, and now they

155
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: need to rebound. Houston's a ten point underdog at Denver

156
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: and see what Denver does a night. But yeah, the

157
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: Packers are a ten point favorite at home in the

158
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: Sunday night game over Chicago. Bad. Green Bay was frustrated yesterday. Yeah,

159
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean Minnesota beat them bad, beat them bad. He

160
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: got to. I think I've ever seen Rogers take that

161
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: much of a beating to Monday night games. Man, we'll

162
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: both tackles route. Yeah. Um, the Titans are a buffalo.

163
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: They're ten point underdogs. They're gonna get crushed. And then

164
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles versus the Vikings. The Eagles are one a

165
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: half point underdog over favorites in that game. Oftms on

166
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: both those teams. Yeah, I'm very impressive. Somebody gonna be

167
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: two and oh yeah, but that's a big game. Yeah,

168
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: that could be two playoff teams. I like where both

169
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: those teams are, right, it shocked me if the Eagles didn't.

170
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: It's two good games on well, get three good teams

171
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: playing on Monday Night. I want to watch the applications absolutely.

172
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: So Week two is going to be an interesting one.

173
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: We'll finish up a Week one tonight with Denver minus

174
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: six and a half at Seattle. I don't know what

175
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: to think of that one, because I thought Atlanta and

176
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: the Giants and a lot of these bad teams were

177
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: really going to show their how bad they were. But

178
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: I think Week one sometimes levels of playing field a

179
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: little bit. All that time to prepare, Yeah, they know

180
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: Wilson really well. But if Seattle lost by twenty I

181
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked either. Yeah, so it's gonna it's gonna

182
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: be uh, you know, we got seven team more weeks

183
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: of this after after this week. Man, this is what

184
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: the NFL is. If you don't show up and play

185
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: your a game, you can lose to anybody. Oh, you

186
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: absolutely can. I mean there's a it's not college where

187
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: you have a bad half. You just come back and

188
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: get your guys out there. And I mean these guys

189
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: are all legit. And the division everyone there's three teams

190
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: that I want to know and a lot of you

191
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: know people to pick the Bengals as the winner of

192
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: the division. They're not going away anytimes during the last place. Yeah,

193
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: they're in the last place, but I bet they're gonna compete.

194
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: They do some things to figure out, as do the Steelers.

195
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Um Burrows. I'm gonna throw five picks. Yeah. I thought

196
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: there were some unsung heroes. I thought I thought Pressley

197
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: Harvin punted well, I mean if you look at the

198
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: you know, you might look at and go, well that

199
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: he only you know, he averaged was forty eight forty

200
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: eight and a half yards average which is still is,

201
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: which is good. The net was forty two point one,

202
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: Like he just hit the hang time on he kicked

203
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Yeah, I think he got more

204
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: of than anything. Yeah, but you know, I think it

205
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: was fine. Yeah. I think you um, General Schefski with

206
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: the big punt return. Yeah, he's gonna be really useful.

207
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: You know, the Bengals didn't have to punt out of

208
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: their own end a lot. Is that one time that

209
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: they did, uh, Schefski. It's a twenty yard punt return

210
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: and sets up a field goal that well, it turned

211
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: out to be a big field goal. Yeah. Yeah. There

212
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: were a couple of big special teams tackles. I wish

213
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I remembered more of them off the top of my head.

214
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: I think boy Can correct I might be wrong, but

215
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: I think Benny Snell had one a real nice Yeah.

216
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: I think boy Can had a drop or a bad

217
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: play on offense and then made the tackle on punt

218
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: the next play, yeah, which was great. And I thought

219
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: he did some dirty work blocking. Yeah. Boy Can and

220
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: Snow both had two tackles each. They only had five

221
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: special teams tackles because both teams were just kicking there.

222
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: That was all on punts, both teams were just kicking

223
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: the ball through the end zone. Yeah right, and not

224
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: to mention a lot of the times the ball changed

225
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: hands was geral. And if you think special teams don't matter,

226
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: that game yesterday was exhibit a on why. Yeah, you

227
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: and I sat there in the training camp looking at

228
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: different guys doing you know, the check it out? Who okay,

229
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: who's long snapping? Now? Who's the backup here? Get a

230
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: little bit, but nobody spends it off, but nobody's nobody's

231
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: looking at that going okay? And I had questions about

232
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: why do they even carry long snappers? Why can't they

233
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: have an offensive lineman do it? Well? Yeah, I mean

234
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: the Bengals win that game if they're long snapper doesn't

235
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: get hurt. I believe that. And I don't think Maker

236
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: blocks the extra point. And here's the thing, here's the

237
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: thing about the extra Okay, so their backup long snapper

238
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: is one of their type, one of their tight ends.

239
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: Guess what position he plays on their field goal in

240
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: the extra point team, He's the wing on that side

241
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: that making the sparkler Maker went through. Yeah, I didn't

242
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: think of that happened. It adds up that's usually where

243
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: you put tight ends kind of longer and they can deal.

244
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: They also the Bengals also because of that situation, screwed

245
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: up at the end of the game. So they had

246
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: the sack, the milette sack, and the ball got carried forward.

247
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: They stopped playing. They move it back to the spot.

248
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: He it's the Holy Roller, So they move it back

249
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: to the fifty and the official uh comes out. Hockey

250
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: League comes out and says, we're gonna start with the

251
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: forty second clock and I think one let me let

252
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: me get the exact number up here. I think it

253
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: was one seven remaining or seven on the clock. I'm sorry, yeah, okay,

254
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: So that play ended at one four, so it was

255
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: it was one, I believe. And he's gonna we're gonna

256
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: start the forty second clock and we're gonna start the

257
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: game clock on my signal. It's kicking down and the

258
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: Bengals snapped the football with the teen seconds left, and

259
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor was asked about it after the game. Why

260
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: did you snap it with thirteen seconds left? He says, well,

261
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: we hadn't. We had a new snapper and there we

262
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure everything got was right. It just

263
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: makes everybody nervous take the penalty. Who cares if game penalty? Right?

264
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: You just you just gave the Steelers two more players.

265
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: So they snapped the ball, they kick it back to

266
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: the the They kicked it with one oh four left.

267
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: Questions about Zach Taylor, by the way, that's my point.

268
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: So when we're talking about um situational stuff like that,

269
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: Matt and and we talked about it a couple of

270
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: weeks ago, when when people as well the Steelers are

271
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: bound to revert back to the field in terms of

272
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: close score games, close point at one score games. There's

273
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: a reason why the teams that win one score games

274
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: win one score games. Who do it year after year?

275
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: You don't make mistakes like that, right exactly. A lot

276
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: of coaches that get fired that aren't around to talk

277
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: about anymore. A few things up, I must saying Taylors

278
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: get fired. But no, that was a mistake. Oh yeah,

279
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: I do think Taylor really benefited from having the first

280
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: pick in the draft the year Joe Burrow came out,

281
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: or we may not be talking abou him as coach,

282
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: but not two things. You know, everyone knows I'm an

283
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: analytics dorc and I think it's a wonderful tool. And

284
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: the analytics tell you across the league that if you're

285
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: really strong one way or another in one score games,

286
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: you'll probably get closer to the media. You know, if

287
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: you're nine and one, you'll probably be five and five,

288
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: you know whatever. But if you look at history, there's

289
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: a couple of teams that consistently beat the average. Steelers

290
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: with roethlis Roethlisberger, Rogers and Green Bay, Wilson and Carol

291
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and the Patriots with Brady and Belichick. Like

292
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: that's not an accident. You know. These are good coaches

293
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks that know how to handle these situations that

294
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: you get wins when you shouldn't or whatever, you know.

295
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to think that maybe it's not just

296
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: the coach quarterback thing, but that I think certain organizations,

297
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, know how to win this. I

298
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: I I talked to you know, I talked to some

299
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: of those new guys yesterday, uh, in the in the

300
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: locker room after that. I mean, the cam Heywards, the

301
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: World count too, you know, right, yeah, they've been in

302
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: that situation. Uh, you know, but I did talk with

303
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: like Molly Reid after that game, and he's like I've

304
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: been I've been in a lot of games like this

305
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: in the past, but I've never been on the winning

306
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: side of one, you know, like yeah, you know, and

307
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: they've had a lot of different coaches in Denver and

308
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot of different quarterbacks and instability and a new

309
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: owner and you know, like, well that these things add up, right. Yeah,

310
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: So it's it's just interesting that. Uh, I am interested

311
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: to watch him more, by the way. Yeah, I mean

312
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a yeah, he's gonna be terrible

313
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: by any stretch. I think he's a really good three

314
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: and he's really more of a two. Yeah. Yeah, no,

315
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: I think he is as well. And that you know,

316
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: I talked to his agent. Uh, the Steelers had him

317
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: take a asked him to take a pay cut it

318
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: from one point five down I think the veteran minimum

319
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: this year. And I talked to his agent um when

320
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: they did that, I was just curious, you know what

321
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: they're thinking, wasn't that because I didn't have to do that?

322
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: And uh, he said he did it because a they

323
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: wanted him, and he wanted to go, and he feels

324
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: like he can come, he can come to a place

325
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: like Pittsburgh and kind of do like uh the other Broncos.

326
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: Uh Barrett like Shad. He could have a Shack Barrett

327
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: like situation here. Well, he's gonna get a shot now,

328
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: Barrett guy. And if they get that out of Read, Wow,

329
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 1: I mean that's you know, yea, Malick. But if if

330
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: Malik Read comes out here in this stretch where he's

331
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: replacing T. J. Watt and he gets four or five

332
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: sacks and you know, let's say it's six games, yea,

333
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: and are getting run on and yeah, and he's gonna

334
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: get paid in the offseason, get paid here or somewhere. Yeah,

335
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a starter. Whereas if he, you know,

336
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: if he would have just gone into let's say, Denver

337
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: just cuts him or he they allow he like he

338
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: He told that when when the Steelers were or when

339
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: he was gonna get traded, when it became apparent he

340
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: was gonna get traded, there were several teams that were interested.

341
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: He said, I want to go to Pittsburgh. Um, let's

342
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: let's do that, because you see, okay, these this team

343
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: has led to league in sacks the last five years. Scheme, Yeah,

344
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: this game is really my favorite. Do I want to

345
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: go there and you want to go Atlanta, you know,

346
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: which probably you know it's a place like that, right,

347
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean the quality. That doesn't mean yet

348
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: you know you're maybe you're playing defensive end in Atlanta,

349
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, it's a bad way of looking

350
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: at it. I was I was excited to watch read anyway. Um,

351
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: I think he's a high energy guy that this this

352
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: fan base will like a lot. Well now we're gonna

353
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: see a lot of them. But that's sort of a

354
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: silver lining for me. Is I think he's a good player. Yeah,

355
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: and you know, any snaps that he gets now might

356
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: pay dividends late in the season. He'll make a mistake

357
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: or two, but assuming assuming what comes back and then

358
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you get into a game in December

359
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: and Reid's already played four games let's say Smith this time, right, Yeah,

360
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: you don't know who else is I'm going forward now

361
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 1: you've now you've gotten him some some defensive snaps here

362
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: that again could pay dividends down the road. I mean,

363
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: he's really he's been here nine days. Yeah, the first

364
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: time we've been playing thirty two snaps yesterday and you

365
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: know it's been here a week. Al Right, we didn't

366
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: a preseason game or any of those type of things,

367
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, analyzing Broncos tape. No, so I think they're

368
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: in a good shape. I mean, um, who any other

369
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: unsung heroes. That's where we started the Yeah, yeah, um,

370
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: and we kind of mentioned the Tackles and Daniels and yeah,

371
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: you know, they were better than people are gonna give

372
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: them credit for. Run game was a problem. Um, how

373
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: aboutch of Zack Gentry. Yeah, you know, for a long

374
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: period in that game yesterday, Zack Gentry was their leading receiver. Yeah,

375
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: I like that. That was very well by Storm And yeah,

376
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 1: he didn't look slow. And I thought Mike Hilton made

377
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: a business decision too. We'll have to go back and

378
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: watch it, but I could see that matchup going and

379
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: hilpless favor. Here comes two pound tight end, full steam

380
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm gonna kind of whiff on that, pushing

381
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: aside a little bit, l A, I'm a little bit.

382
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: Let somebody else get that guy counts for me. Yeah,

383
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: Bush had a good game. The d line depth. We

384
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: touched on that in the first segment. You know, Adams

385
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: was quality performer and you know, I'm talking about bottom

386
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: of the roster guys um Jamir Jones. I keep bringing

387
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: him up. I thought he stood out when he played. Yeah,

388
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: like he's not not just a warm There's been so

389
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: many warm bodies at that position when the big dogs

390
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: aren't in there. I don't think they have any just

391
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: warm body filler type guys now. No, And and you know,

392
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: you look at some of the guys that you mentioned,

393
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: and you you look at it soak well, that guy

394
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: only had one tackle, or that guy Chris Warmly had

395
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 1: two tackles, but they played nine million snaps. You need

396
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: those guys, but les, right, you know, it wasn't there

397
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: to go the Minnesota game last night where guys are

398
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: just completely and then he doesn't have a place in

399
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: the world, knows it and you're just get gashed by

400
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: Dalwn Cook over and over like that's not at all. Yeah.

401
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean I thought they played good fundamental team defense

402
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: and so maybe that didn't add up to a bunch

403
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: of tackles for guys, but they were where they were

404
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be at right right right, they're all holding

405
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: their gap and they're not over extending. And again, I

406
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: can't watch wait to watch the all twenty two but

407
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: I thought they did their job. But they did it

408
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: with aggression and speed and you know vigor. Yeah, and

409
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: Arthur Malllett showed up again. Yeah. I think he's a

410
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: quality player. He just makes place. Yeah, you know, he's

411
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: not Mike Hilton, but you know he's in the same

412
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: mold though he's got some Mike Hilton like tendencies. I

413
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna win a lot of races, you know.

414
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean they're not the biggest, but they'll stick their

415
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: nose in there, you know, tackles for a loss and

416
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: let them a little bit. Yeah. Um, I thought Claypool

417
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: did some blocking to you know that they keep an

418
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: eye on that. Um so much from Hayward, but I

419
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: thought he'd be a little brother Hayward. Yeah, he didn't

420
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: play a role in this one. But there were a

421
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: couple of times Cam just walked just walked him back

422
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: into the quarterback. The one that there was a penalty,

423
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: I can't remember it was a holding penalty. It was

424
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: a holding penalty on Sutton. He just he just picked

425
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: the guard up and just put him in Burrow's lap

426
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: and said here you go. In the league. I mean,

427
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: while I couldn't I couldn't believe a couple of times

428
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: they just left that kid one on one with Cam

429
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: Hayward and that's that's just ask him for trouble. Trouble.

430
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: And I don't think their lines fixed. I mean it's okay,

431
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: it's better, but in Burrow could be better with getting

432
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: the ball out too. But um, Bengals are a good team,

433
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: but I didn't think their line was. Oh boy, look

434
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: at this. You mentioned Joan Williams before he was lost

435
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: his battle more and he won it. Yeah. Um, so well,

436
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: we'll see how this unfolds moving forward. Steelers. Of course,

437
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: I want to know they'll get the New England Patriots

438
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: on the Sunday at that. It's a great time to

439
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: play the Jets after that. Yeah, the the Patriots still

440
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what they are offensively, it's nightmare,

441
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: you know. It might be it might be ten weeks

442
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: before they figure out what they are and they might

443
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: figure out that well, we're not very good, no. I

444
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: mean they need Dante Scarnekia and Josh McDaniels to both

445
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: couple knocking on the door like you guys Hire. Both

446
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: those guys have sons that they could hire r right

447
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: as opposed to Belichick, Son and Reach like old defensive

448
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: coaches and even Mac Jones, Like I like Mac Jones,

449
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: but he's much more of a Brady type. And then

450
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna change the whole offense, like you drafted him

451
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: to do this stuff, and now they're having them on

452
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: the move a little bit more, and like, that's not

453
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: at all what he's gonna do. And even on his

454
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: best day, he's a caretaker, facilitator. He's not going to
