1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Cooper rush with Daell to his left, punch formation white

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: after motion rush in trouble, strip shock, Who's got it?

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 2: It's still loose? Touch it, pick it up.

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 3: Here's Barnett on the lawn.

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Twenty fifteen, ten five touchdown scoop score Derek Barnett.

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: Derek Barnett does it all, causes the force fumble, waits

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: for his teammate to force another fumble, then picks up

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: the ball, goes into the end zone. You know, a

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: weird night in Dallas. They're all weird lately. Texans win

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 3: thirty four to ten. That was Mark VanderMeer of Kilt

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 3: little andre Ware in the booth as well, A fittingly

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: ugly but kind of fun touchdown on a night that

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: was just ugly. It wasn't fun at all for the

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys, but it was much needed for the Texans.

15
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: And I'm joined by my friend Nick Schuok. I need

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 3: you with me to make sense of this Monday night

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: and make it entertaining for the listeners.

18
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: Uh well, I'll tell you this.

19
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 4: I felt massive relief when Jalen Peatree flew in out

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 4: of nowhere and knocked that ball out of Tyler Guiton's hands,

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: freeing it for Derek Barnett to recover Scoop and score

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 4: for the decisive touchdown. Because in that moment, I realized

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, who are not a good football team and

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: especially in this state, no longer have a chance of

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 4: making this game interesting. It's not that I don't want

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: to see an interesting game, It's that I don't want

27
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: to see a very obviously fraudulent team have a chance

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 4: through four quarters in a game like that. So good

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: on the Texans for getting that job done. They I

30
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: got some concerns about them, though, Greg, And I'm sure

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: we'll get into that here momentarily.

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, let's just get into it. So that that

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: touchdown happened with about twelve minutes to go in the game.

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: It made the game twenty seven to ten. You see

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: the final score thirty four to ten, you think blowout,

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: blow up, Cooper Rush and this Cowboys offense. Ultimately, they

37
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: weren't going to win this game. I don't you play

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: it ten times. I think they would have lost all

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: ten times.

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: That said, the yardage ends up being close in this game,

42
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: and it was closer than it needed to be. In fact,

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: it was a one score game before Mike McCarthy actually

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: took points off the board after Brandon Aubrey hits a

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 3: sixty four yard field goal late in the third early fourth,

46
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: like when that drive was happening and it was going

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: to be twenty to thirteen. Instead, McCarthy understandably takes the

48
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: points off the board. They try to score a touchdown,

49
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: they don't go anywhere, and Cooper Rush tries to turn

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: the ball over a couple times. The Texans finally stopped them,

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 3: but at that point it's still a one score game,

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: and I'm just thinking, and I'm texting with other people

53
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: who love CJ. Straw and I'm watching this game, and

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, like, is this offense just not gonna come together?

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: Because for them to look so disjointed in CJ. Stroud,

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 3: to look so inconsistent on a night against the Cowboys

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: where it just was all laid out for you, it

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 3: does make you wonder if it might not just happen

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: for this team despite the being seven and four and

60
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: having a couple winnable games coming up.

61
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a perplexing situation because when you look at

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: them based on record, you're like, oh, well, this is

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: a good team. This is a team that's going to

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: be contending and probably make the playoffs because they're in

65
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: a bad division. But and when you watch the first

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: play of the game, you see Nico Collins take a

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: screen down the left side of the field for a touchdown.

68
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: It gets wiped out by a penalty.

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 4: But if you watch them over four quarters, you kind

70
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 4: of get to understand who the Texans are, which is

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 4: a bit of an enigma because at times, like in

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: the first half against Detroit the week prior, they looked explosive.

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: CJ.

74
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: Stroud's dealing, he's got time to throw, he's got that

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: quick release, he gets the ball out on time, on target,

76
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: and then you go to this week and it's like,

77
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: where is that? Where is the rhythm of this offense?

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: I'm done yearning for last year because I know it's

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: not going to happen with this team. It starts with

80
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: the offensive line. They have not protected him well all year.

81
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: They didn't protect him well at times tonight. I mean,

82
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: you let a free rusher through the a gap, but

83
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: a third down where you just got to immediately dirt

84
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: the ball and give up possession. That's concerning. Even with

85
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons on the field. That's he's not blowing up

86
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: the game to the point where that you know, I'm

87
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: sitting back and watching this line thinking he's the problem.

88
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: They're the problem.

89
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: And I honestly think, and this is not a knock

90
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: on Bobby Slow because I think he's got a tough

91
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 4: job right now. They their offensive line issues I think

92
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: have like messed with his flow, like his ability to

93
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: call plays in games. There's a third and short situation

94
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 4: where they hurry up and try to sneak a playoff right,

95
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 4: and it's a quick pass to the sideline, a tank Dell.

96
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: It's inaccurate, it's incoplete, and then they punt on the

97
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 4: next play. If you're gonna do that, are you going

98
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: forward on fourth down? Like I know, I'm getting in

99
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: the weeds here a little bit, but it speaks to

100
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: the disjointed nature of the Texans, who at times look

101
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: broken offensively. And that's concerning considering they're probably gonna win

102
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 4: this division.

103
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: No, I think that was a great sequence to point out, Nick,

104
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: because I'm with you, that was the sign of a

105
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: totally discombobulated offense. They punt at that point too. There

106
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 3: was a couple of times in this game actually, where

107
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: after failing on fourth down early in the game where CJ.

108
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: Stroud was intercepted, they decided to be aggressive. It was

109
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: when they were up seven to nothing and they go

110
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: for on a fourth and two, fourth and three, and

111
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: Stroud just throws a curious pass where it looked like

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 3: he had Nico Collins for the touchdown. Troy Aikman was

113
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: dumbfounded at first. I thought maybe it was a miscommunication.

114
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: He thinks Nico cowns kind of sit down. But it's

115
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: pretty clearly, you know, an inbreaking route and Nico had

116
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 3: certainly had the right read because it was gonna be

117
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: a touchdown, and Stroud just misses him. And there were

118
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: three or fourth throws like that in the night where

119
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: I think of Stroud's accuracy as being what's most special

120
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: about him, and he's just missing guys and he's out

121
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: of rhythm. I think that's the right word for it.

122
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: And they're talking up that their offensive line. This is

123
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: the second straight week they've had this same group for

124
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: the first time in a while, and they do think

125
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: this is their best five and maybe they will get

126
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 3: some cohesion. You mentioned that first play of the game.

127
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: That was Laramie Tunzell, who that's the first play of

128
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: the game. You know you've practiced that a million times,

129
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: and he made it easy. He's a legal man downfield,

130
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: and maybe they wouldn't have had the touchdown if he

131
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: wasn't downfield. He did get the block on that play.

132
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 3: We'll never know. Nico Collins certainly looks one hundred percent healthy.

133
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: That is a great sign, and he absolutely helped them

134
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: out tonight. But Laramie Tunzel's like the worst great player

135
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: in the NFL, you know what I mean. Like he's

136
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: an All Pro multiple times, but he screws up this

137
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: offense so many times. And there's so many moments of

138
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: this game where they're just disjointed. They're wide receivers and

139
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 3: their tight ends they can't block in the running game

140
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: very well. And that's the difference between them and some

141
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: of these other Shanahan McVeigh tree type of teams. They

142
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: draft and develop guys on the outside in terms of

143
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: their wide receivers and tight ends who can block. The

144
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: Texans can't. So I know we're sounding very negative, but

145
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 3: I think it's because we see the potential of this team.

146
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 3: I had this team in the conference championship before the season. Yeah,

147
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: and I'm actually not out of hope yet, how about you,

148
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: only because I've watched enough NFL seasons to know sometimes

149
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: if you just hang around and hang around, and you

150
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: have good players and the schedule's easy enough, sometimes it

151
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: really can click at the very last second, like it's possible.

152
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that's the key, because at seven and four,

153
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 4: you have a little bit of leeway. You're not in

154
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: a good division, so you can kind of work out

155
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: the kinks. I'm getting impatient because they've spent so much

156
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: time not working out the kinks. But the idea of

157
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: continuity with that offensive line and this potentially being their

158
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: best five, that does encourage me. I like to compare

159
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: them to another team that I still have hoping that's

160
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: in a much worse spot, and that's the Cincinnati Bengals,

161
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: who we talked about last night, who have the inverse

162
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: of their record at this point and need to basically

163
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: win out to have a shot. The Texans aren't there.

164
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 4: They have a little bit of breathing room to figure

165
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: it out. But I also need them to prove it

166
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: to me to a degree, because like we talked, you

167
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: just talked about how they don't block the run. Well,

168
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon still goes for a hundred and yards on

169
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: twenty carries and scores three rushing touchdowns. Like he's been

170
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: fantastic for most of the season, especially when he's been healthy,

171
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 4: and yet that's overcoming some struggles up front. So the

172
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: potential is there. It's just you have these remaining seven

173
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: weeks to figure it out. Are you going to figure

174
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: it out? Because the glimpses we've seen it, we just

175
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: need to see it over four quarters for me to

176
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 4: truly believe. I had them in the Super Bowl, Greg,

177
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 4: I know it was going out on the limb a

178
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: little bit. I had Lions Texans in the Super Bowl.

179
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: I would love to see that, But right now I

180
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: don't quite believe in.

181
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: Having it's having I mean, I'm saying I'm holding out hope.

182
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: I just have seen too much of NFL football where

183
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: it can just surprisingly come together at the end for them.

184
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: Maybe that's winning a playoff game or two. You just

185
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: never know. I'm feeling great by the way. I went

186
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: back to look at my predictions today, and man, I'm

187
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: feeling great about those conference championships. I have Lions over Eagles.

188
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. And then I have Bills over Texans.

189
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: Don't feel good about the Texans, but I do like

190
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: my MVP, Josh Bill. Bill's winning the Super Bowl stack

191
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: right now, feeling good. So you never know, let's go.

192
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: Okay, you're on a heater.

193
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 4: This was a game that look like we talked about

194
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: this last night, We thought it was going to be

195
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: a blot, right. This is a game where if you're

196
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: actually of that caliber as the Texans, you prove it

197
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 4: in a matchup like this, and they didn't. I mean

198
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 4: they did, but they didn't.

199
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 3: So defense, did you know they're not totally healthy upfront,

200
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: Will Anderson, They've they've been missing pieces there. Derek Stingley

201
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: was fantastic covering Ceed Lamb tonight, so it gives him

202
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: some credit. Seventeen routes run on Stingley by Lamb, two catches,

203
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: nineteen yards, three pass breakups and an interception. He was fantastic.

204
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: I think he's been a little up and down this

205
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: year actually for a guy who he thoughts is going

206
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: to be a super duper star. Mix Agan Mixon is

207
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: a top five running back right now. Twenty two touches

208
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: for one hundred and fifty three one hundred and fifty

209
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: three yards excuse me, and three touchdowns, and you're right,

210
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: it's not getting blocked up very well. I looked at

211
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: the end of the game at the success rate because

212
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: I I just was wondering he's running so well. There

213
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: were a few runs where he got three yards and

214
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: it should have been negative two, or he got seven

215
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: and it should have been one. And it makes sense

216
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: when you look at his runs. He had a forty

217
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: percent success rate, which is solid. It's not amazing, it's

218
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 3: not as good as the numbers would indicate. But he

219
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 3: also got stuffed, which means a negative run or at

220
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage four times, which that's a lot

221
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: like good running games don't have that happen. And you

222
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 3: see that week after week with him. So that's disappointing

223
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: and that that's the offensive line, and that's the part

224
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: where it's hard to imagine them getting it fixed. And

225
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: it feels especially annoying tonight because you know they're going

226
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: against a team that, yes, they're totally different with Michael

227
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: Parsons back, it's obvious, but there's still not a good

228
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: run defense, like they should be able to run better

229
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: against this team.

230
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 4: I will say, despite everything that we just said about

231
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 4: the offensive line, their struggles throughout this season, I do

232
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 4: give a big typical Captain Casario for jumping all over

233
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: the idea that Joe Mixon's available for a seventh round pick.

234
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: I mean, what a steal. He doesn't have a long

235
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: life ahead of him. He's approaching thirty. He's gonna be

236
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: twenty nine in the summer. But man, for the position

237
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 4: they're in right now, where they have money to spend

238
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 4: in roster spots to occupy, what a move man that's

239
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: paid off and he droves for them.

240
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a pro bowler. I'm trying to think of

241
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: AFC all pro. Well, there isn't such a thing, so

242
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm talking about. It All pro

243
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: is gonna be tough for Mixing to pull off. But

244
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: daneil Hunter in this game had two sacks, nine pressures,

245
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 3: three quick hits. And yes it's all coming against the Cowboys,

246
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: but it just points out who the players are. I

247
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: do worry a little bit about Mixing because with the Bengals,

248
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 3: his issue was he would always start off the season

249
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: running so hard. I think no one runs harder on

250
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: a per run basis, especially for a guy that's been

251
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: in the league this long, But he just would wear

252
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: down physically and not be healthy by the end of

253
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: the year. With the He had a little injury early

254
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: this season. So the key for him is just to

255
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 3: stay healthy. And yeah, I mentioned Nico Collins. We haven't

256
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 3: really done like the stats. He ends up four for

257
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: fifty four, but he had thirty seven yards after the catch.

258
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: Looked explosive. That was really important. Takedow made a couple

259
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: of plays. He makes more sense a little further down

260
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: the order. John Metchi looks like he's kind of developing

261
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: into a nice third receiver. He also had a nice

262
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: tackle on a fake punt. That's how you know the

263
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: Cowboys were desperate. They called a fake punt and threw

264
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: it short of the sticks on their very first possession,

265
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 3: Bones fossil, you know, going nuts and Mike McCarthy did

266
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: not look happy after the game. Yes, in the first

267
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: three possessions alone, here's what happened. You had the touchdown

268
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: that was almost eighty yards called back by penalty. You

269
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: had the CJ. Stroud interception, You had the fake punt

270
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: disaster by the Texans. Like that is how we started

271
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: this game, I mean by the Cowboys.

272
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: Rather, we knew, we knew we were in for a

273
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: weird night, and we got a weird night. It Luckily

274
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 4: it ended as it should have with the Texans running

275
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: away with it.

276
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: But all right, I forgot. I forgot. Cooper rushed through

277
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 3: an interception the very next the very next drive as well,

278
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: So like that, and.

279
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: Kaitlyn Bulleck dropped one that could have been another interception.

280
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: Should we talk a little bit about the Cowboys, Yeah,

281
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: we have to. They have trailed all their home games

282
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: by at least seventeen points. They have been outscored in

283
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,239
Speaker 3: their five home games, most of those with Dak Prescott

284
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: by one hundred and eighteen points. Oh, that is the

285
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: third largest point differential in NFL history for your first

286
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 3: five home games. So if you're a Cowboys season ticket

287
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: holder that's gone to each one of those games, you

288
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: have seen the third worst performance by a home team

289
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: in NFL history. I mean we're talking about like the

290
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: winless Brown We're talking about like the Bucks with McKay,

291
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: like we're talking about all the worst teams in history.

292
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: This Cowboys team at home is as bad as any

293
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: of them. I mean, they get a Cavante Turpin sixty

294
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 3: four yard touchdown where he has the fastest time next

295
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 3: Gen stats all season for a ball carrier. So you

296
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: got one highlight in this game. But Cooper Rush is

297
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: all over the place. He throws the ball fifty five

298
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: times and he was sacked at at least five, So

299
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: that's like sixty drop ecks in the game, and they

300
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: got seven more games.

301
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: Shook, I know, And that's what I wrote in what

302
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: we learned. You can check out on NFL dot com.

303
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 4: Where do they go from here? Like this is it's

304
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 4: not Yeah, he looked better than he did the week

305
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: before because he was completely ineffective in his first start.

306
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 4: Cooper Rush was But you don't want to ever ask

307
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 4: Cooper Rush to drop back, to throw fifty five or

308
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 4: drop back sixty times in a game and think that

309
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna win. There's no support in the running game.

310
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: Even the game situation didn't really call for it until

311
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: essentially the fourth quarter for them to be throwing that much,

312
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 4: yet that's where they found them. And also to add

313
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 4: on to that stat that you listed, it gets even worse.

314
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: They've trailed by twenty plus points at home in six

315
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 4: straight games dating back to the Super wild Card weekend

316
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 4: lost to the Packers.

317
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: That's where everything kind of fell apart.

318
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 4: They had a quiet offseason and now they're paying the

319
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 4: price for it with seven weeks left to go.

320
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: It's one of the most depressing seasons I can remember.

321
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: There was a play when when they were driving, and

322
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: that was after they took the three points off the board,

323
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: and they're trying to really make this a game. At

324
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: that point, it's a ten point game. You get a

325
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: touchdown there, it's down to three late third, early fourth quarter,

326
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: and on the fourth down play, Troy Aikman just with

327
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 3: disdain in his voice, looking at the route that Ceedee

328
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: Lamb and the tight end was it wasn't Ferguson right

329
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: because he left with a concussion, and he just said,

330
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: he just said, I don't know what's going on over here,

331
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: knowing like just with the stage, I don't know what's

332
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: going on over here, like someone messed up. They should

333
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: not be in the same place. And then here comes Mingo.

334
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: He's actually doing a good job for his quarterback, but

335
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush just throws it over his head and Troy Aikman,

336
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: they were trying to put a good face on this

337
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: game for a while, and by the end he was

338
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: just like he was sick of that his Cowboys are

339
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: this embarrassing.

340
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 4: He even commented on the fact that the Cowboys fans

341
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: had made a mass exodus out of eighteenth He's stadium

342
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: by the fourth quarter. He goes, the amount of red

343
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 4: in this stadium is kind of overwhelming, Like, wow, they,

344
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: you know, trying to spin it like Texans fans traveled.

345
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: No Cowboys fans left because they that's.

346
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: True, But the Texans fans were loud as hell in

347
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: the first quarter when Scout hit that touchdown. I should

348
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: have mentioned after, you know, the penalty that called back

349
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 3: the long touchdown, they still went down the field and

350
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: had a great drive. It was the one drive all

351
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: night where you thought, ooh, we're gonna get the Texans,

352
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: like the perfect play calls mixing ends up getting a

353
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: forty five yard touchdown. Hell, let's listen to one of

354
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: the better moments of the night.

355
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: At the forty five yard of Dallas first and ten handoff,

356
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: Mixon starts white, cuts back left, has room thirty twenty

357
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: five twenty fifteen ten five rock and roll touchdown Joe

358
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: Mixon forty five your TV run Monday Night.

359
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: Mixon love that Monday Night mixic and he ends up

360
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: with three touchdowns on the night, So he lived up

361
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: to that name. Yeah, the tech the Cowboys are going

362
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: to be in primetime. I was going to have this

363
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: conversation later as part of the news, but let's have

364
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: it now, all right. The Bengals and Cowboys are slated

365
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 3: for a Week sixteen primetime game and they cannot be flexed.

366
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: Do you know why they cannot be flexed week sixteen?

367
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 2: It's not a Monday Night or is it.

368
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: It is a Week fourteen game. It's Troy and Joe again.

369
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 3: It's in just a few weeks. They cannot flex it

370
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: because it's the Simpsons watch along game. I don't know

371
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: if you've seen anything about this. Oh it was a

372
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: toy story last year.

373
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: It's the Simpsons now.

374
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 3: It's the Simpsons now, and all the pre production work

375
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 3: that goes into that, including the voiceovers and everything, like,

376
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 3: they're putting too much work into that. They're not doing

377
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: that on the fly. They're doing that work right now.

378
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 3: So we got to keep Bengals Cowboys in primetime on

379
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: Monday Night football.

380
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 4: Well, I think we'll all come away with the same thing,

381
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 4: the same feeling and quote Bart Simpsons, Bart Simpson in

382
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 4: that moment eat my shorts.

383
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: Oh there you go. It's funny though, because ESPN they

384
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 3: wouldn't flex the Cowboys out anyways. They would be like, oh, yeah,

385
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: we can't do it because it's the Simpsons, but they

386
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: don't want to do it anyways because it's the Cowboys

387
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: and they get the ratings at least for the first

388
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 3: half of these games. I do think they'll get flexed

389
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: out in Week sixteen. That's a Tampa Bay Dallas game,

390
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: so I don't think that one is going to be

391
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: on the schedule, But yes, that Bengals game will stay there.

392
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: We'll talk a little bit more about flex in a second.

393
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: Just a couple of final thoughts of this game. Did

394
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: you happen to see the commercial where it's a part

395
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: of the Salute to Service initiative that they let you know,

396
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: servicemen play against Michael Parsons on Madden and they put

397
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: it up on the JumboTron in Jerry World. And do

398
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 3: you know where I'm going with this?

399
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: Go ahead?

400
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: Did you see the score of the game.

401
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: Yes, it was fifty to seven.

402
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 3: It was fifty to seven. Michael Parsons put it on

403
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: this dude. You gotta honor this man by getting putting

404
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 3: on fifty to seven. And they tried to fake us

405
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 3: out by showing Michael Parsons all upset about a play

406
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: that happened. First of all, great job by Parsons that

407
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: he was that upset that he even gave up points

408
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: to this bum. If you're gonna have a serviceman play

409
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: Madden on the big board in Jerry world, let's get

410
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: one that can compete a little bit.

411
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 2: All right, let's get three. Let's get someone that can

412
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: compete one on a jumbo tron.

413
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 4: Was a childhood dream of mine because I saw cecis

414
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 4: a Bathia do it at Progressive Field back in the day.

415
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 4: So good on the serviceman for being able to do

416
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 4: that with Michah Parsons too. That is the type of

417
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 4: competitor Micah Parsons is that he was upset that he

418
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: gave up any points, and that's exactly why he put

419
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 4: fifty on him.

420
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: And three actually three a.

421
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: This reminds me of when Cardil Jones, the former Ohio

422
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: state quarterback, went to a hospital and played Madden against

423
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: the kid and destroyed him even worse.

424
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 2: And three B.

425
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 4: I played against the best Madden player on the planet

426
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 4: for a story a couple of years ago. His name

427
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 4: is Henry Leverett. He's won like six Madden Bowls. Nice kid,

428
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 4: and he dominated me by about the same margin.

429
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: So I know how that feel.

430
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: That's the best one in the world. And yeah, I

431
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: hear you. Let's just pick a guy that that can

432
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: compete a little better, that's all. Yeah, I mean Madden,

433
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 3: it was a knight of no mercy. Parsons like body

434
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 3: slammed Robert Woods at the end of this game. Uh,

435
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: let's actually look at the tweet that the Texans out

436
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: towards the Cowboys, and they said look out below with

437
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: a big fat L on it, and then showed the

438
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 3: piece of metal roof that fell from the Texans stadium.

439
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 3: What a picture, by the way, that someone caught apparently

440
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: or they superimposed this, I don't even know, yes, but

441
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: before the game they opened the roof and a huge

442
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: piece of metal fell. I'm almost surprised that Texans sent

443
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 3: this out, not because they're putting that l on the Cowboys.

444
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: This is a real rivalry. Props to those Texans fans

445
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 3: enjoy this win. By the way, your team want to

446
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 3: combine like six games over two seasons, and two years

447
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: later you got a couple of nimrods like us honking

448
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 3: that they didn't look good enough while they're beating the

449
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: Cowboys thirty four to ten in Dallas to get to

450
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 3: a seven and four record. You've been through it. Enjoy

451
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: these moments, like, don't worry about us, but the fact

452
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 3: that they're making fun of this. Texans are making fun

453
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 3: of the Cowboys for their building the fall apart. It's

454
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: kind of funny because if that metal had hit some

455
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 3: dude on the or woman on the sideline, like I

456
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: don't know, like we could have like a decapitation or something.

457
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 3: That thing thing looked scary.

458
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 2: I mean it was floppy sheet metal. I don't think

459
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: it had a lot of weight to it.

460
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 4: But it was good on the Texans for taking two

461
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: pieces of sheet metal making it into an l that's

462
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: great social media work out of their.

463
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: Team's real That's true, it wasn't the real thing, but

464
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: that's excellent. Okay, you're saying floppy sheet metal wouldn't hurt you,

465
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: but from that high up with the velocity, I guess

466
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: it was kind of swinging back and forth with like

467
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: a leaf. But like, I don't know, maybe I'm stupid.

468
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: Like a football, if it hit you from that far

469
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 3: up would hurt like hell.

470
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: I mean, Gronk once caught a pass dropped out of

471
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 4: a helicopter and he was perfectly fine.

472
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah you're paying attention. But I'm just saying, if that

473
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: that's true, hits you in the head. My last thought

474
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 3: on this game is just I'll remember the facial expressions

475
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: in this game Stroud's face after he threw that first interception.

476
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 3: I already was worried that, like, oh man, this he's

477
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: in his head a little bit, because after that, I

478
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: don't know if he totally got out of it. He

479
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: was so mad, so just frustrated already after that first interception.

480
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: But the glare that Ceedee Lamb gave Cooper Rush after

481
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush threw behind him on a second down play

482
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: was I would say withering. It was withering. The very

483
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: next play, by the way, Cooper Rush throws a go

484
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: ball that wasn't open at all to Ceedee Lamb almost

485
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: to apologize, and Ceedee Lamb has to have an offensive

486
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 3: pass interference and that like knocks him out of field

487
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 3: goal range, like that is the type of night it was.

488
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 3: But the Cowboys offensive players on the sideline, They're like,

489
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: I can't believe we got to play with this dude

490
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 3: for another few weeks or a guy that's apparently worse

491
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: than this dude Trey Lance, Like what are you thinking

492
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: if you're Trey Lance right now?

493
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a humbling moment for him. I got

494
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 4: a text that it was like, is Trey Lance really

495
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 4: that bad that he can't replace him? I'm like, yeah,

496
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 4: you can.

497
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: We will find out. We will find out he will.

498
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: He will be playing Titans Texans next week. Texan's got

499
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: to play better. I said, this is a perfect schedule

500
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: for them because they can beat up on the bad teams,

501
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 3: get to nine and four, and then the tougher part

502
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 3: of their schedule comes. They have Miami, they have Kansas City,

503
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: they have some tough games down the stretch. But you

504
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: gotta play better, like even the Titans. I'm not counting

505
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: that as a w necessarily.

506
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: No, I would agree. The Titans can be a frisky bunch.

507
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 4: Their defense is not as good as I think people

508
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 4: thought they were earlier in the season. But if Will

509
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 4: Levi is gonna played turnover free football. It could get interesting.

510
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 4: They made an interesting over the weekend this past weekend,

511
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: so we'll see. Uh, Texans do have to start to

512
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: find a rhythm though maybe this is the first step.

513
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 3: Yes, I hope so, and yeah that that post by schedule.

514
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: If they can get past Titans Jaguars the next two weeks,

515
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 3: they'd be nine and four at that point, about the

516
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: three seed most likely in the AFC. And then you

517
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: have a bye, then you have Dolphins at Chiefs Ravens

518
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 3: your next three games after that. So they are gonna

519
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: be a big part of the story. And I'm glad.

520
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: I believe in you.

521
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: C J.

522
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: Stroud. I believe we're gonna make this show. Sing, Nick Schuck.

523
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: We're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna do some news.

524
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 3: We're gonna hand out our Captain Morgan Captains of the Week,

525
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: and then we're gonna say goodbye. And reached right after

526
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: this break back on NFL Daily, we got some jaunty music.

527
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 3: We don't have some jaunty news here. Let's let's get

528
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: over the obvious story was coming. We've been waiting for

529
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: it for a week. Giants fans were waiting for it

530
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: all season. A couple seasons, Daniel Jones will no longer

531
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: be the starting quarterback of the New York Giants. It

532
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: would be a big upset. I think if he ever

533
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 3: plays for the New York Giants again, he's not only benched,

534
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 3: he's gonna be the third string quarterback. Drew lock will

535
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: be the backup. We talked about this, We put this

536
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: out in the ether on the preview show a couple

537
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: of weeks ago. We said, just put in Tommy DeVito

538
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: just for Thanksgiving, give it, Give that to us. That'll

539
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 3: be better than Drew Locke. And we're not just getting

540
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: him for Thanksgiving. We're getting them in week twelve and

541
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: then five days after that. Yes, against these Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

542
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: Nick.

543
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tommy Cutletz. He was the source of inspiration and

544
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 4: in otherwise dark season for the Giants.

545
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 2: Last year.

546
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 4: He was so big. He got a I think it

547
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 4: was a pasta sauce ad. His agent dresses in pinstripe

548
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 4: suits and fedoras. He became a sensation on the internet.

549
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: That's kind of almost all that he's worth. He did

550
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: have a few nice performances, but at this point the

551
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 4: Giants are just well, you know to keep it in

552
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 4: the Italian theme to throw from get at the wall

553
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 4: and seeing with sticks, and they know that Daniel Jones

554
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: doesn't stick, so why not go to Cutlets and have

555
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: Drew Lock as your backup. Drew Lock, by the way,

556
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 4: did not look good in his appearances with the Giants

557
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 4: this year, so no, he.

558
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: He was so bad that I don't really buy the

559
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 3: conspiracy theory that Florio's thrown out there, that like, hey,

560
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 3: it's some red meat for your fans because they just

561
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: will be entertained and they like Tommy Cutlets that and

562
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 3: it's just to make them happy, keep them interested, and

563
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 3: also increase their chances of losing games and trying to

564
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 3: get a high seed. First of all, Daniel Jones is

565
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: doing a perfectly good job losing games on his own.

566
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: Drew Locke would do a perfectly good job of that too.

567
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: I just think there Brian Dabeles not into Drew Lock.

568
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: I think Brian Dabele is absolutely in job saving mode

569
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 3: here yep, and that it might not be his choice

570
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: to bench Daniel Jones, although it is obviously time. It

571
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 3: was obvious to everyone, including to him. I just think

572
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 3: he truly believes Tommy DeVito gives them a better chance

573
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: to win. And in the off chance that they're all

574
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: there next year, Drew Lock's not going to be on

575
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 3: this team. There's a chance Tommy DeVito's on this team

576
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 3: as like a backup or even a third stringer again,

577
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: and they want to do it. I truly believe they

578
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 3: just think he gives them a better chance to win games.

579
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: They are two and eight. They play the Bucks this

580
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: week and then at the Cowboys and the Saints. So

581
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: that's a pretty forgiving schedule of opposing defenses relatively, But man,

582
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: two and eight Giants, it feels so late, so early

583
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: for these teams. Nick. There's so many of these two

584
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: win teams like the Cowboys that, like this Giants team

585
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: has seven more games to play, and we're talking Tommy

586
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: DeVito already.

587
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and the schedule, like you just mentioned, you know,

588
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: there's some workuple defenses, but it doesn't really lighten up

589
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: all that much. But again, this is an example of

590
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 4: what you just said, which is job saving mode. And

591
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 4: he's going to a guy that he has experience with.

592
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 4: You know, he's at least seen him perform capably enough

593
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 4: to lead them to victory or at least exciting finishes

594
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 4: in his time as a starter in a time of

595
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 4: need for them.

596
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: So that's why he's going there.

597
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 4: But it is going to be a painful, and it

598
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 4: feels kind of more like there are more of these

599
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 4: teams in these situations than the years past. Maybe it's

600
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: just recency bias. Now this painful November to December were

601
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 4: a lot of these teams who are not only watching

602
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 4: the draft board, they're like, all right, where are we

603
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 4: landing this week?

604
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: Because we know we have no hope. It's kind of crazy.

605
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'm glad he brought that up because it

606
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 3: was something I wanted to talk about during the Monday

607
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: Night recap. But it just fits well here. This was

608
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: the first primetime game I think of the season with

609
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: a truly dead team, and I should have just gone

610
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: and looked back at the last couple of weeks. I'm

611
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 3: sure there was one team that There's been teams that

612
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 3: we know weren't doing anything like many of these Giants games.

613
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: But the difference is now we're getting close to Thanksgiving.

614
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: You see the number of losses that are on there,

615
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 3: We're getting to like the mathematically impossible. We're just playing

616
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 3: out the string portion of the season, and this was

617
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: the first prime tame games were really hit to me

618
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 3: that like, oh, their season's over, over, over, but there's

619
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 3: going to be a lot more because of all these

620
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: two and three win teams that are out there, and

621
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 3: it's bad for the product. And like, your Browns are

622
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: in primetime.

623
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 4: I just saw that Week thirteen, and that's just Week thirteen.

624
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: It's four times coming up the rest of the season.

625
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 3: They are in primetime this week against the Steelers, so

626
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: at least it's like a team that's relevant that they're facing.

627
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: There are a handful of other games you can flex

628
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: out of Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, and now

629
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: Thursday Night Football. There's a Browns Bengals Week sixteen Thursday

630
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: Night Football that I think could be did we have

631
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: we ever had a Thursday night Football flex? But that

632
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 3: one could be flexed out. And there are a number

633
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: of games, but it's unavoidable on some level, Like there's

634
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 3: a Saints Packers Monday Night Football that we might have

635
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 3: to watch the Saints in prime time. There's a Raiders

636
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: Falcons Monday Night Football, and there's a Brown's Broncos Monday

637
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: Night Football in week thirteen. Now they can only flex

638
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: Thursday Night football twice down the stretch, but Monday Night

639
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: Football they can as much as they want, So keep

640
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: an eye on Tuesday. I am curious how active they're

641
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 3: going to be flexing these games Brown's Broncos. Is that

642
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: flexworthy to get the Browns off our screens when they're

643
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 3: scheduled to be there four times in the next few weeks.

644
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: They actually would have to make a decision on that

645
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: on Tuesday or maybe Wednesday, So we'll find out early

646
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: if they're starting to flex some of these Monday and

647
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: Thursday night games. They really haven't done that in the

648
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: pass much. In the Thursday night flex, that's a new thing.

649
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking at some of the candidates here for

650
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 4: that week and it does get a little ugly, like

651
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 4: the prime to the Sunday night games between the Niners

652
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 4: and Bills that week, which is gonna be nice because

653
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 4: the Niners are gonna have the backs against the wall

654
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 4: to a degree, but we also know who the Niners are.

655
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: Eagles Ravens.

656
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 4: In the late window on Sunday, maybe we get a

657
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 4: little bit of a swap there and then another swap

658
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 4: to get the Browns out of the late window there,

659
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 4: and there are possibilities, There are opportunities, but it's gonna

660
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 4: become a bit of a puzzle making exercise.

661
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 3: Just going to watch in those games get protected. There

662
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: are different games that are protected. I wouldn't be surprised

663
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: if Eagles Ravens for instance, is protected. For instance on

664
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 3: the Bengals, but not everything's protected in the Bengals Cowboys

665
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: week there was a Cardinal Seahawks game, which now is

666
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 3: just a better game that they can't move into that

667
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 3: spot and those that's a game that wouldn't have been protected.

668
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: So just something to watch this week. If we can

669
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: get the Browns out for Week thirteen, we would thank you,

670
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 3: because two weeks from tonight, Nick, if that doesn't happen,

671
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: we're doing Browns Broncos and the brown The Broncos are relevant.

672
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: At least you got one relevant team you need at

673
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: least one. There's gonna be a lot of games like

674
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: that this week. For instance, there is not a single

675
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 3: game on Sunday, Nick, between two teams with a winning record.

676
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 4: Oh god, oh oh wow, you're right. Oh, it's like

677
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 4: a murderer's row of unbalanced match.

678
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: It's just unbalanced and there. Look, the NFC West teams

679
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: are interesting, and we got a rams Engles game that's interesting.

680
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: We have a forty nine ers Packers game that's interesting.

681
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 3: We have a Cardinals game that that's Seahawks game that's interesting.

682
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 3: So there's some interesting games. I don't want to totally

683
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: poop on the schedule, but yes, no, no game between

684
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: two teams with the winning record coming up this week.

685
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: Just one last thing, Like the Giants stay bad because

686
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 3: they don't stay aligned and they don't self scout. We've

687
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 3: been over. We've talked about Daniel Jones enough. We don't

688
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 3: need to, I think, go into much depth. But the

689
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 3: original sin here was giving him that contract in the

690
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 3: first place and not understanding the player that you had.

691
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 3: And I really felt like Dabel never fully bought into

692
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: it either, and they didn't draft him. Gettleman drafted him.

693
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: So was Shane and Dabel totally in on him or

694
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 3: was it ownership forcing it on him and then getting

695
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: the emotions of it, And now ownership is sane. We're

696
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 3: standing behind Shane and Dabel and they're really putting it

697
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: out there strong that they're doing it, and I believe

698
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: it because I don't think this has been Dabel's fault.

699
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 3: And yet I think if they lose at a certain level,

700
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 3: he's going to be the one to go, and that

701
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: they keep Shane because Jones wasn't his quarterback, but he

702
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 3: was the one who actually did sign him to this

703
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 3: awful contract, and that goes up to ownership. And then

704
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 3: if they do fire Dable but not Shane, then it's

705
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 3: like they didn't come in at the same time. And

706
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: this is just how bad organizations stay bad. I'm sick

707
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: of talking about Daniel Jones. It's really not his fault.

708
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: He his level was obvious. He should be someone's bridge

709
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 3: quarterback or backup, not making forty million, and then everyone

710
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: wouldn't hate him. And oh, by the way, he's coming

711
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 3: back from a major injury and he just doesn't even

712
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: look as good as he looked previous to those injuries.

713
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: He's got back issues.

714
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's two elements that the Giants are paying

715
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 4: the price for. First, they're paying the price for their

716
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 4: success in their first year with Brian Dable because that

717
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 4: gave everybody the false hope that Daniel Jones could be

718
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 4: the guy. But if you look at him statistically, the

719
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 4: numbers were not great. It's that they won with scheme

720
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 4: and players around him playing well and Jones doing enough,

721
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 4: but it also came in a contract time where he

722
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: had to make a decision, and they made that decision.

723
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 4: And we found a lot of teams in this situation,

724
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 4: even the Jaguars, you know, a different situation but had

725
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 4: to pay Trevor Lawrence.

726
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 2: Now because different.

727
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 4: But you find yourself between a rock and a hard

728
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 4: place with quarterbacks specifically, and the Giants because they came

729
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: off of that sneaky good year where they won a

730
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: playoff game, then suddenly had to make a decision that

731
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 4: they probably were never prepared to make. But it's also

732
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 4: the of being a quarterback focused league in that if

733
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 4: you don't have one, you don't have a chance. So

734
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 4: you take a swing on a guy in the first

735
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 4: round like Daniel Jones out of Duke and think, well,

736
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 4: maybe he's got the upside because the physicals are there,

737
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 4: but the rest of it was never there In hindsight's

738
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: twenty twenty, sure, but.

739
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: They had him for four years in the building. That's

740
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: what gets me about the organization. Yeah, and the only

741
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: reason they were successful that year was because Dable limited

742
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 3: his weaknesses he basically coached around him. He just had

743
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: him dinking and Duncan for most of that season and

744
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: then caught a little fire with an easy schedule against

745
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 3: bad defense, and that's what I mean. They started believing

746
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: their own hype. And even then he wasn't really pushing

747
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: the ball down the field. What was interesting and promising

748
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: about Daniel Jones in the first couple of years of

749
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 3: his career, when he was in a much worse situation,

750
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 3: was he actually did make big time throws. He got

751
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 3: that nickname Danny Dimes because even though he wasn't a

752
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 3: good decision maker, he was a little bit of a

753
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 3: slow processor maybe getting through his reads and stuff, he

754
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 3: would he would throw it. He was aggressive and he

755
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 3: made some nice plays, some nice throws, and that led

756
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 3: to variants. I was much more interested in that version

757
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 3: of Danny Dimes. And then it all caved in on him.

758
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 3: Everything was bad. He clearly can't lift up a bad team.

759
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: Dable comes in and coaches around him and gets him

760
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: to not take any chances. He hasn't taken any chances

761
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: in three or four years now. He's like injury prone.

762
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: But how can you if you can't evaluate a guy

763
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: that was in your building for four years. It's all

764
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 3: because I think John Mara, their owner, thought he was

765
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 3: a nice guy, like, oh, this is the guy that

766
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: could marry your daughter.

767
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 4: Like that's oh, that's a sin that's always going to

768
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 4: hurt your franchise. You don't sign guys because they're nice guys.

769
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 4: You sign hm because they're That's.

770
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 3: Why they drafted him. They're like that. He reminds me

771
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: of Eli manning'schise. He'sy a draft pick actually because you

772
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 3: need quarterbacks.

773
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 2: That's not morant.

774
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: They somehow got Dexter Lawrence with seventeenth pick. The sin

775
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: is not just moving on to three, you know, drafting

776
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 3: another guy two three years later. Okay, that is the

777
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: last Daniel Jones Giants conversation. We will ever have an

778
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 3: NFL Daily, I promise the listeners, Well, we'll have that conversation,

779
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: but we won't like revisit at all. We got to

780
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: remember this Nick, you know, text me on that day.

781
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: We won't revisit all. We'll talk about what's next for

782
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, what's next for the Giants in that moment,

783
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 3: but we will not revisit the original sin.

784
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 2: Okay, let's move right.

785
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 3: Not a lot of injury news today, which was really good.

786
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, it's a light day. Oh, that

787
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 3: means there's not a lot of injuries. There's also not

788
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 3: trade rumors anymore, but there were some. DJ Turner, who

789
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 3: was starting at cornerback for the Bengals, had stepped in

790
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 3: and actually was playing pretty well for them, is believed

791
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 3: to have a fractured collar bone. Or that is really

792
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 3: tough news. That's from Ian Rappaport. So Cam Taylor Britt,

793
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 3: who's been in and out of their lineup, it will

794
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 3: be back in their lineup. Gabe Davis is also out

795
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 3: for the season. He has only thirty five yards. I

796
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 3: looked in his last four games. That was a free

797
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 3: agent signing that has really not worked out for them.

798
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 3: And the reason I wanted to stop here for a

799
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 3: second is you know who announced that gave Davis is

800
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 3: out for the season. Can you guess it wasn't Rapaport?

801
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: Was it Gabe Davis?

802
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 5: No?

803
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: No, it was an important figure in that organization. It

804
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 3: was his coach Nick Shook.

805
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: Oh well that's why would I guess that? Of course,

806
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: but I don't things.

807
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: Maybe wouldn't get it. On Monday, Doug Peterson had a

808
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: press conference Monday where he's talking about Gabe Davis's injury, like,

809
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 3: are they just busy? What is happening? Are they not

810
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 3: firing him? Just to get back at the people that

811
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 3: kind of said he was gonna get fired, and then

812
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 3: everyone started saying they're they're poorly run. I don't know,

813
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 3: or is it just gonna happen later in the week

814
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: like the Daniel Jones benching, you know, a week later

815
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: during their bye week. I just I just was really

816
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 3: surprised Doug Peterson was out there doing that press conference

817
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 3: because if they do fire him later in the spy,

818
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 3: it's like, why did you just make him go? Do

819
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 3: that just be decisive?

820
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 4: Well, we haven't checked off the most important box on

821
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 4: the path to a Doug Peterson firing, which is showing

822
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 4: up on a Monday morning radio show and telling the

823
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 4: host that he's pissed off.

824
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 3: That is very true. The other injury news that came

825
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 3: out on Mondayfanu Melafanu of the Lions, who they were

826
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 3: hoping would give a nice jolt to their secondary not

827
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 3: that they need another great safety, but they do like

828
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 3: playing three safeties, and he made big plays for them

829
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 3: down the stretch last year. He was one of their

830
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 3: better defensive backs. At the end of last season, he

831
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: had an injury. He's been out all season essentially, and

832
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 3: then just got hurt again. Is going to be out

833
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: for a while. According to Dan Campbell, nick Bosa will

834
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 3: be evaluated throughout the week. I think that's a really

835
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 3: important injury to watch because that defense just does not

836
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: have enough juice without Nick Bosa. You could see the

837
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: drop off after he got hurt against the Seahawks on Sunday,

838
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 3: and then John Harbaugh said he is going to monitor

839
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 3: Roquan Smith's hamstring injury. Which injury Nick Bosa or Roquan

840
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 3: Smith would concern you more as a fan of those teams,

841
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 3: because they're both pretty huge.

842
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 4: They're both pretty huge, Yeah, they're They're both massive. Those

843
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 4: are key players in both of those defenses. I would

844
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 4: lean Bosa because the pass rush disappeared after he left.

845
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 4: That was a big reason why they lost that game,

846
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 4: was because he disappeared and the pass rush disappeared. I'm

847
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 4: also concerned about the nature of the injury. I'm not

848
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 4: a Twitter doctor, but he was grabbing at his hip

849
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 4: and his side and it looked pretty debilitating. Which makes

850
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 4: me worry that it's a multi week thing. We'll see obviously,

851
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 4: it's you know, we're a monitor for a week right now,

852
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 4: but we'll see whereas Roquan you can kind of cover

853
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 4: up because so many teams play sub packages. Now, he's

854
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 4: obviously a massive part of that defense, but they do

855
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 4: have talent around them. I feel a little bit better

856
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 4: about the Ravens chances than I do about the Niners

857
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 4: without Nick Bosa.

858
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you couldn't pick wrong there because they're both

859
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: just huge. Smith I believe, never missed the game. This

860
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 3: makes me wonder if he's been struggling with a hamstring

861
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 3: injury all year, because he hasn't looked as explosive, and

862
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 3: yet when he went out in that game, they immediately

863
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 3: started targeting Darnault Washington over the middle of the field

864
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 3: and started making some plays. And I think it's a

865
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: pretty big drop off, and that defense is already having

866
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: its issues. I think if you take Rokewen Smith out

867
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 3: of it, that would be a big problem. So something

868
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 3: to keep an eye on this week. We already talked flex,

869
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 3: but we did not talk Christmas Day. Nick Schook Beyonce Texans.

870
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 3: Let's go We're getting Beyonce on Netflix. You know, we

871
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: need the streaming to work, but we're getting Beyonce in

872
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 3: our hometown of Houston. That's next level. Like you think

873
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: at CBS and Dallas goes big on Thanksgiving. They always

874
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 3: have a pretty good musical act for Thanksgiving halftime. You

875
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 3: get Creed, you get someone out there. I'm so good

876
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 3: we're going. We're going Beyonce on Christmas. That sets an

877
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 3: incredibly high bar for the future of Christmas programming and

878
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: kind of lets you know, like Netflix is not messing around.

879
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: Maybe they're they're spending some of that Tyson money on Beyonce. Like,

880
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 3: imagine how much it must cost to get Beyonce to

881
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 3: play your halftime show.

882
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 4: As somebody who is admittedly going to see Creed on

883
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 4: Friday night in Cleveland, very fired up about Beyonce hosts

884
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 4: doing the halftime show in a game involving the Houston Texans,

885
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 4: her hometown of Houston. Now, Greg, I bring this to

886
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 4: you real quick, just for some levity, some fun favorite

887
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 4: Beyonce song.

888
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 2: Of all time, Go.

889
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 3: You Go, because now I forget like the names of Mine.

890
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: Is going to be off.

891
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 4: The eponymous surprise released album of twenty thirteen. I think

892
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 4: it was rocket great track on that album. Okay, Love

893
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 4: on Top also good.

894
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm clearly not like that huge a Beyonce fan.

895
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 3: And yeah, I listened to Lemonade like NonStop all that year.

896
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 3: Like Lemonade, Lemonade is my I would say, I would say,

897
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 3: hold up, maybe it might be my favorite.

898
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 2: All right, all right, awesome, there we go.

899
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: No cowboy going to get buried for that, that choice, Sorr.

900
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I love it.

901
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 3: I'm an old man. You know who else is an

902
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: old man? Amari Cooper, at least in football years. He

903
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 3: is in Buffalo. Sometimes the transitions don't work, and he

904
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 3: is loving life in Buffalo. Let's listen to some comments

905
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: he had after their big win against the Chiefs.

906
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 5: First time in a long time that I've actually actually

907
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 5: felt joy, you know, from from winning this game, from

908
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 5: you know, just the way we played, from having so

909
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 5: many guys on the team who you know, are playmakers,

910
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 5: and they come up and they show up when they're

911
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 5: when their number is called, uh, you know, collectively as

912
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 5: a group, it's just amazing.

913
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of the guys here.

914
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 5: It's just kind of a from place to Buffalo here

915
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 5: some of the other places I've been to, so a

916
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 5: lot of the guy it's a tight knit group. I

917
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 5: would say a lot of the guys go out together,

918
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 5: they hang around each other at twenty four to seven,

919
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 5: and it truly shows up on the field.

920
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 3: It truly does. That was deep. That's the first time

921
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 3: he's felt joy in a long time playing football. I'm

922
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: just thinking, like Joe Flacco might be watching something and

923
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 3: be like, I thought we had some fun last year.

924
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: Bro.

925
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, first off, I can relate to Mari, But secondly, hello,

926
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 4: do you remember playing with Joe Flaco and making the play?

927
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 4: I know you got blown out in the playoffs, but

928
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 4: I mean that was a pretty magical run. I understand

929
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 4: you were a little upset with Dallas by the time

930
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 4: he left, and the Raiders experience was pretty rough by

931
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 4: the time they got rid of there.

932
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 2: But hey, man, Joe Flacco catching stray? So what's going

933
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: on here?

934
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know about Joe. Maybe it was more. Look,

935
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 3: I don't think it's been fun. It's one of the

936
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 3: reasons why right off the bat, before I even saw

937
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 3: what Deshaun Watson looked like. Again, as a professional, I

938
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 3: question that pickup, not just for like the morality of it,

939
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 3: but that the entire rest of the organization are they

940
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 3: having fun right now? Like going through that first off season?

941
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 3: And I don't mean like right now, I mean even

942
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 3: that first off season when they made the trade, Like

943
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 3: was that experience fun up to the moment that he

944
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 3: even got to play football? Because it seemed miserable for

945
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 3: everyone in that entire building and it obviously, you know,

946
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 3: didn't get any better when he did start playing. And

947
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 3: so maybe that's informing what Cooper's talking about of just

948
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 3: like with what was going on organizationally, Like, yeah, I

949
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 3: just can't imagine that even when Flacco was playing like

950
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 3: it maybe it just wasn't the best vibes in the

951
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 3: in the world. But I just I just thought it

952
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 3: was cool too that like he was just being honest

953
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 3: and vulnerable in that moment. It was like, yeah, I mean,

954
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't really feel much joy playing football all

955
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: the time, because he seems like a player player that

956
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 3: needs to be enjoying himself and confident to have a

957
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 3: good time, because you kind of see it when he's

958
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 3: not having a good time.

959
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 2: He's a stowic guy.

960
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 4: And he also played with five different starting quarterbacks last year,

961
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 4: so I think the turnstile that was the quarterback position

962
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 4: probably contributed to that as well, which obviously Deshaun Watson

963
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 4: had a hand in. There's also a strange amount of

964
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 4: like unnecessary pressure in Cleveland for a small market regarding

965
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 4: only the Browns, and he probably felt that, especially as

966
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 4: their season unraveled quickly this year.

967
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 3: Hmmm. I mean, I feel like people are just gonna

968
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 3: gonna get on me for the whole Beyonce thing. You know, Hey,

969
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 3: you know what you already shot shot And yet that

970
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 3: was like that was the song I was. I think

971
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 3: it's just like not a song that you remember like

972
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 3: the name of for some reason. All Night is a

973
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 3: banger too, but a different kind of banger, you know,

974
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 3: but but definitely a banger off of that jumping off

975
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 3: the joy thing. I'm putting you on the spot here

976
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 3: the first time that he's felt joy in a while.

977
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,760
Speaker 3: Our first episode of NFL Daily, it was with Jordan

978
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 3: rod Reeg and Patrick Claybon. That was our topic, what

979
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 3: were looking forward to in the twenty twenty four season.

980
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 3: What's gonna give us joy? Like, what's bringing us joy?

981
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 3: Just to think about? So I'm gonna put you on

982
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 3: the spot. If you want me to go first, I can.

983
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 3: If you want some time to think about it. What's

984
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 3: what's been bringing you some joy in the twenty twenty

985
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 3: four season. I'll go first because I was ready for this.

986
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 3: Ye well, first of all, like it hasn't been a while,

987
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 3: hopefully that's coming across to the listeners. I'm really enjoying

988
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 3: this season. You know, I enjoy every season anytime that

989
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 3: I'm not connected to the game and it happens, life, job,

990
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: whatever it is. I've found over the years as I

991
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 3: got older that the key for me is to go back.

992
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 3: And it's so freaking corny to just like watching the

993
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 3: actual like whenever I get further away from actually just

994
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 3: watching the tape that to be a dork, but like

995
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 3: watching during the week and drilling down on what I

996
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 3: find interesting, like emotionally or intellectually, like then that's where

997
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 3: I find the love. That's that's where it comes from. Hell,

998
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 3: last week, I just had a lot going on, not

999
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 3: like it was stressing me out, but I just was

1000
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 3: taking off my usual preparation and I came into that

1001
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: preview show last week being like, oh man, I didn't

1002
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 3: get into the tape as early in the week as

1003
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 3: I normally do, and I felt it I missed it.

1004
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 3: I didn't have as much joy talking about the games

1005
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 3: because I didn't have that basis so I always have it,

1006
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 3: so it's not hard for me to go back and

1007
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 3: find like, when's the most recent joy. Hell that Sunday

1008
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 3: was pretty joyous to have that Gino Smith run right

1009
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 3: after that Drake May performance, followed by the way that

1010
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 3: Josh Allen run happened, and Chris Rose is on the

1011
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 3: desk right next to me waiting to start his post

1012
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 3: game show and we're watching it and just screaming and

1013
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 3: knowing that's a moment we're gonna remember at the end

1014
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 3: of the season live like that's what I absolutely live for.

1015
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 3: But I also been feeling joy on these Monday nights

1016
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 3: with you, Nick and obviously throughout NFL daily, but just

1017
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 3: speaking about this show in particular, like some are better

1018
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 3: than others. I think that's true of games, it's true

1019
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 3: of performances, but a lot of times I've come out

1020
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 3: of that these Monday nights and they've been really good

1021
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 3: games for the most part on Monday nights, and I've

1022
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 3: thought like, oh, we kind of nailed that, like, oh,

1023
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 3: I hit all the things I wanted to see or

1024
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 3: oh that was surprising, and I leave feeling here like

1025
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 3: this is good. This is what I wanted NFL Daily

1026
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 3: to be. I think we're getting somewhere. I think it's

1027
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 3: getting better. And it's almost like hard for me to

1028
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 3: go to sleep afterwards, because it's what I've been working

1029
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 3: for for twenty years to do stuff like this. I

1030
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 3: was doing it when we were around the NFL, and

1031
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 3: I still really appreciate it and love it now. So

1032
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 3: that's some of my long winded reasons for joy of

1033
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four season. Now, is this show going

1034
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 3: to reach that level of some of those high games.

1035
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 3: Sometimes you can only get to where the game gets to.

1036
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if this game let us get to

1037
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 3: our very best, but I think we've done well with

1038
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 3: what we were given.

1039
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 4: Nick, Yeah, I would agree. I would say I've found

1040
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 4: joy and two things short term and long term. Short

1041
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 4: term the turnaround of the Washington Commanders and watching all

1042
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 4: these Commanders fans who have been not in hiding but

1043
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 4: just not proud to talk about their team. Suddenly they

1044
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 4: find a reason to believe again. And turn on the

1045
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 4: TV every Sunday and watch their young quarterback and their

1046
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 4: exciting team that may be overachieving based in terms of

1047
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 4: roster strength, but is a really fun watch in most weeks. Grant,

1048
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,919
Speaker 4: they've had a couple of tough games recently, but they're

1049
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 4: still a very fun watch because of Jade and Daniels.

1050
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 4: So I really enjoy watching those people find happiness, much

1051
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 4: like I watched Browns fans around me last year enjoy

1052
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 4: their run of the playoffs. Because when a football team

1053
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 4: is succeeding, it's really fun to be in that community

1054
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 4: and watch everybody get on board and rally around it.

1055
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 4: Because there's there's so many things that divide this country

1056
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 4: right now, but at the same time, we can all

1057
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 4: rally around a sports team in a special moment. I

1058
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 4: experienced that with the Guardians this year as well in

1059
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 4: the Cavs fifteen to now. But I would say the

1060
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 4: joy that I found in football because you're right, the

1061
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 4: grind every week is long. Getting QB index done. It

1062
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 4: takes a lot of work from Sunday to Tuesday night,

1063
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 4: but I always get it done, and sometimes you lose

1064
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 4: it when you're grinding through games and everything else it

1065
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 4: takes until you step back, like you said, to really

1066
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 4: enjoy football. But there are moments. Sometimes it's watching Geno

1067
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 4: Smith scramble for a touchdown in the final fifteen seconds

1068
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 4: of a game. Sometimes it's somebody getting blasted on a

1069
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 4: condensed game the next day. But the joy I find

1070
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 4: the most is as soon as we are done here,

1071
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 4: I get up and I feel invigorated.

1072
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 2: I feel fulfilled doing this podcast with you.

1073
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 4: I've always been very grateful that you know, you brought

1074
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 4: me into this group, you brought me into NFL media

1075
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 4: a decade ago, and I love doing this show and

1076
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 4: I can't wait to continue doing it for however long

1077
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 4: we go, because it's been last and I thank you

1078
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 4: for it.

1079
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,439
Speaker 3: Well, that is very nice, Nick, It's been really cool.

1080
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 3: Like I wasn't planning to have like a mid season

1081
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 3: check up on how NFL Daily's going, but it is

1082
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 3: the coolest to have this group of people, and it's

1083
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 3: obviously different than around the NFL, but to have you

1084
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 3: and Steve and Colleen and Jordan and Patrick, that's just

1085
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 3: it's just part of the mix and get to know

1086
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 3: them in a different way, like more regularly and just

1087
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 3: sometimes life changes and it's been it's been a beautiful thing.

1088
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's very nice of you Nick Shook ten

1089
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 3: years ago. Yeah.

1090
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 4: Bro, the only thing I missed now is not being

1091
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 4: out there with you guys. That I missed the camaraderie

1092
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 4: the newsroom and being in studio.

1093
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 3: But that is part of it. I do like, I

1094
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 3: do like going into the office. We've gone on too long.

1095
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 3: I feel like I had one more thing I had

1096
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 3: to say, but I'll remember it after the show. And

1097
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 3: it really wasn't that important anyways. You know what, it's

1098
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 3: not as important as it's not as important as the

1099
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 3: Captain Morgan Players of the Week. It's time for Captain

1100
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 3: Morgan's Captain's Corner, presented by Captain Morgan. I'll let you

1101
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 3: start this week. We're going to mix it up, all right.

1102
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 4: As much as I am a known hater, self professed hater,

1103
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 4: especially on yesterday's show, Taysom Hill is my Captain's Corner

1104
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 4: pick of the week because I mean, my god, he

1105
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 4: carried that offense to a victory. He's breaking tackles left

1106
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 4: and right, He's putting Browns defenders in the Superdome turf.

1107
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 4: He goes for a career high one hundred and thirty

1108
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 4: eight rushing yards. He tied his career high with three

1109
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 4: rushing touchdowns.

1110
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: It was a day for what is he?

1111
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 4: Thirty four years old? The thirty four year old had

1112
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 4: his moment in the sun after grinding in a number

1113
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 4: of different positions for years. He is the guy who

1114
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 4: ends up on the roster is number fifty three and

1115
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 4: works his way up the ladder to the point where

1116
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,959
Speaker 4: no matter the regime change, he's still on the team

1117
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 4: and he comes through in a big spot. So you

1118
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 4: are my captain of the week, Taysom Hill.

1119
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the pride of Indiana football who's having a moment

1120
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 3: right now and gets mentioned every week by Joe Buck

1121
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 3: on Monday Night Football undefeated. Shout out to Rhet Lewis too.

1122
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, big Indiana, big Hoosier.

1123
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 3: Who's your crowd? Former wide receiver, didn't know that about

1124
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 3: rep for a little while. I'm going somewhere different for

1125
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 3: captain's corner. But man like, I feel like we've we've

1126
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 3: gone pretty heavy on Saints or ex Saints in this case,

1127
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 3: I am going to show you some a clip of

1128
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 3: Jamis Winston hugging all of his teammates after the game.

1129
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 3: What got me about this clip was there was a

1130
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 3: huge line of Saints coaches and players. First it's Taysom

1131
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 3: Hill and to Mario Davis, and it goes on and on,

1132
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,240
Speaker 3: and you could see there's some different New Orleans staff

1133
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 3: and they're all just waiting and there's all just so

1134
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 3: much love for the four years that they spend with

1135
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 3: Jamis Winston. And it's so damn genuine. And it's every

1136
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 3: different section of the team too. It's offensive lineman's defensive linemen,

1137
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:56,439
Speaker 3: it's special teams, it's it's linebackers. Like to Mario Davis,

1138
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 3: the leader of the team, you can tell it's personnel

1139
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 3: that you know, I don't know who they are, that's

1140
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 3: just behind the scenes for the Saints. And it goes

1141
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 3: on and on like that video could have been like

1142
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 3: five minutes long, and it just shows you, you know,

1143
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 3: he's a backup, he's a number one overall pick that

1144
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 3: maybe it didn't all work out like he wanted it

1145
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 3: to in Tampa, but life's about more than that. And

1146
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 3: it's pretty cool. How many people love hit them some

1147
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 3: Jameis Winston. How many lives I have a feeling that

1148
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 3: he's impacted and people that love to be around him.

1149
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 5: So that is a W.

1150
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 3: That is eating the W.

1151
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go.

1152
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 4: It's important to impact people's lives positively and clearly Jamis

1153
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 4: has done that even with all the pre game By

1154
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 4: the way, Greg his pregame speeches on network television have

1155
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 4: been hilarious, like fantastic stuff the last few weeks. I

1156
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 4: very much suggest you tune in for those. But great

1157
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 4: to see him love by so many people.

1158

1162
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 3: trying to improve as a host. For instance, I should

1163
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 3: have told you about the whole question about asking you

1164
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 3: about the joy. Yeah, I should have told you that

1165
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 3: ahead of time. We want to get better, we need

1166
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 3: to be better. No, it is we are better. We

1167
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 3: are getting better. I mean Jamis Winston. He's bringing joy

1168
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 3: all around the New Orleans countryside. If I had really

1169
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 3: thought about that, I was going to eat a W.

1170
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 3: I should have practiced it because it's just like, well,

1171
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 3: that was disturbing this is awkward. My fingers are like

1172
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 3: dripping now, I don't know if that's the right way

1173
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 3: to end this show.

1174
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 2: Oh well, you know when your fingers are dripping, Football's back.

1175
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.
