1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,279 Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast has picked up the Chisels. 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: My name is Dan Ands and I am joined by 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: Greg rosa Thal. What's up, boys? Hey? Dan? Whoa week three? 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: You know the season is getting good when there's a 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: pre pod argument about who's got it worse, Browns or 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: Jets fans. Just to get everyone flowing before the old 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: Paris start with Craig gleaming with smiles and giggles and laughter. 10 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: Fortune of It's it's good for him to see Dan 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: and market on each other while he just sits a 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: thousand yards above us and joining his human human fate. 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: Have a nice time with it. If ever, if ever 14 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: there was a call for a thrown at these on Greg, 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: It's that was ridiculous, Greig, the Jets have one of 16 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: the more humiliating games in the franchise's history. The Browns 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: forgot it a way to blow another one. I'm just 18 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: saying it three O with like you know, I a 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: any quarter. Yes you are, because it has absolutely woven 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: into the Phoebrat fabric of who you are so you 21 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: are three enough, your worldview and the way that you 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: see football is very much linked to the fact that 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: your team has dominated Earth for since the year two thousand. 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: Just there's some things that don't tread in this territory 25 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: with us. Okay, nobody wants you there, don't go in. 26 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: Mark's been waiting to infer all that remark for at 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: least since Thursday night. Well, I'm not going to be. 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: I don't want Dan and I to be giggled at. 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: That to me is a bridge too far. Now. Yeah, Mark, 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: And before we get into all the games, Mark and 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: I had a little disagreement right before we started because 32 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: the nature of the Jets loss was you know, humiliating 33 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: and and it was you know, coming off the heels 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: of such a great win that instilled hope in the franchise. 35 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: And I was just saying, it's it's more painful to 36 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: think you have a chance and have it taken away, 37 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: whereas Marks, in a situation where seemingly there's no hope 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: at all, mineus great win. Right, There's no it's less fun, 39 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: I would say, for sure as a Browns fan, but 40 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: maybe a little more painful. That's that was my take. 41 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: That's all we'll get. We'll get to those games. We will, 42 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: but there are more important teams, more relevant teams. Let's 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: face it, to talk about here in week three, uh 44 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: in a week where we saw a lot of uh 45 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: interesting things happening at the top of the NFC, folks, 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: which could have a very different look come January when 47 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: we talk about which teams are on by who is 48 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: the true superpower in the NFC. A lot of things 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: to get excited about, folks, especially if you are in 50 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: the land of yes plus one hundred lakes. So you're 51 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: gonna jump on me on that one. I don't even 52 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: know how many the ten thousand lakes or one thousand 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: lakes T plus nine thousand. You were never good at math. 54 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: Ten thousand lakes is wild. If you think too many lakes, 55 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: you can tell you have too many lakes. I like 56 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: lakes too, but it almost seems like a lie. That's all. 57 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: Uh So, a lot of games to get too, folks. 58 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: So why don't we die right in? Uh we will 59 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: start in the a f C. Well, actually, why don't 60 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: we start, folks in the Queen City In the Queen Cities, 61 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: that's Charlotte. Well, that's one of the Queen City. Cincinnati's 62 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: the other one. Okay, I don't know off to a 63 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: Rollickings start here. Let's start in Charlotte, where the Minnesota 64 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: Vikings and their defense, oh my own, their defense continues 65 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: to make a statement. One week after taking down Aaron 66 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: Rodgers making him look human, Minnesota took it to Cam 67 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: Newton and the Panthers offense, the result of twenty two 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: to ten victory for the Vikings and Greg Rosenthal the 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: Viking There's no way around it. The Vikings are for 70 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: real right, oh absolutely? And Mark Sessler, if you didn't 71 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: enjoy some of the outcomes on Sundays, you're gonna be 72 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: enjoying this one when you watch it on game pass 73 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: because this team that you've been talking up for weeks 74 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: was faced with a tend nothing deficit early Carolina doing 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: anything that they want, and they turned the game around 76 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: with a Danil Hunter sack safety of Cam Newton where 77 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: he throws Michael Oriside throws Cam Newton to the ground, 78 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: and that was one of eight sacks they had on 79 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: the day. They hit Cam Newton twelve times. They scored 80 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: twenty two straight points to finish out that game. That 81 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: ends a fourteen game home winning streak for the Panthers, 82 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: and they did it by I wouldn't say embarrassing the Panthers, 83 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: but but just saying, hey, we're tougher than you are. 84 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: You guys kind of think of yourself as a tough, 85 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: physical team. We can't run the ball at all, it 86 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Our defense is gonna dominate you so much. 87 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: And Sam Bradford, even though he had a rough first 88 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: half in this game, made enough throws, came out a 89 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: half dime, and was very good after half time, and 90 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: they wouldn't go in away twenty two to ten. It 91 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: was really remarkable. The best defensive performance I've seen from 92 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: any team this season so far. So the key to 93 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: beating the Panthers is to have one of the most 94 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: athletic defensive fronts in the NFL, because that's how the 95 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: Broncos beat them too. I think they also the Vikings. 96 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: You look at that Week one win over the Titans, 97 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: the adjustments that they made at halftime. It happened again. 98 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: Very few teams are adjusting the way they are and 99 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: and you can even say early in the game maybe 100 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: they adjust because Cam Newton looked great. I thought he's 101 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: looked like the best quarterback in the league again the 102 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: first two games and the first quarter of this game 103 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: he has thrown beautiful passes to get up to nothing. 104 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: They make some adjustments, the Panthers defense only gives up 105 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: thirty four yards total yards in the first half. But 106 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: the Vikings have a way of staying in these games 107 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: even without their offense. They had a safety, they had 108 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: a punt return for a touchdown, and then once Bradford 109 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: and the offense got to go in a little bit 110 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: in the second half, it was all she wrote. The 111 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: Sunday night win over the Packers was obviously impressive, but 112 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: when you factor in their opening up their building and 113 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: they have the home crown going nuts and it just 114 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: a lot of things seem to be going their way, say, okay, 115 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: nice win, but you go down to Charlotte, a place 116 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: where the Panthers have looked absolutely unbeatable um since last year, 117 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: and really give it to him. You need to now 118 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: anybody that doesn't believe in the Vikings. And it's still early, 119 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: of course, but without Adrian Peterson, uh with Sam Bradford 120 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: and Craft, Sam Bradford and Trenched, this team looks like 121 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: they're for real. Yeah. I mean we talked about the 122 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: combination of Cam Newton and Kelvin Benjamin just three or 123 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: four days ago. Is this unstoppable force that no team 124 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: can deal with zero yards off one target for Calvin Bench, 125 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: one target with a couple of minutes left in the game, 126 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: and that was a miscommunication that should have been picked 127 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: off that Kelvin Benjamin went the wrong way. They I 128 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: think the return of Xavier Rhodes help helped. Their cornerbacks 129 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: are so physical. Devin Funchis and Benjamin didn't have a 130 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: catch between him. After the game, Captain Munerland said he 131 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: doesn't really think Fungius is a very good player and 132 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: that they focused on stopping Kelvin Benjamin. So these are 133 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: some physical cornerbacks that were more physical than than the 134 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Panthers receivers in this game. And there's just so many 135 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: different Vikings players, Viking defenders that can get after I mean, 136 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: Everson Griffin three sacks, three tackles for loss, Anthony Barr 137 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: ran down Cam Newton to help stop a drive, Harrison 138 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: Smith had a big safety boots and Mike Zimmer he 139 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: had Cam Newton scrambled. I mean, because they were doing 140 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: their double a gap blitz where you didn't know who 141 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: was gonna rush the whole second half. They had no 142 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: answers for for who was who they were sending in 143 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: terms of their blitzers. They beat the Packers and the 144 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: Panthers and back to back weeks to a two NFC superpowers, 145 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: two best quarterbacks in the league. Perhaps can we call 146 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: the Vikings a superpower if they don't have a running 147 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: game and can't protect Sam Bradford it's a fair question. No, Well, yes, 148 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: I think I think you can. Because they're not gonna 149 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: They're not a perfect team. They're gonna have to win 150 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: in strange ways. They're not gonna go sixteen and know 151 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna have some weeks where they can't over formula 152 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: for playing invites close games. Absolutely, so they're gonna have 153 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: tough weeks. But their toughness in their defense I think 154 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: still keeps him as a sus Do you think Bradford 155 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: is playing just as well as anyone could have expected 156 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater too, Well, it depends what you were expecting 157 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: from I think Teddy Bridgewater statistically is probably never gonna 158 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: blow you away early in his career, but he threw 159 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns last season, Um had some interceptions to Bradford 160 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: showed seems to be showing great chemist. Kyle Rudolph bigs 161 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: last week a different player this year. Kyle the Rudolph 162 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: was really good on the intermediate throws. Even though their 163 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: offense did nothing in the first they had three fairly 164 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: long scoring drives in the second half. The whole hook 165 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: of the Teddy Bridgewater injury, which made it even doubly painful, 166 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: was a lot of people thought he was going to 167 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: become next level type of version of himself. So we'll 168 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: never know now. But Bradford doesn't have to be dominant 169 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: with this defense. You know, he could just be hold 170 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: the four guy for twelve points today. It wasn't their offense. 171 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: When you're supported by that defense, I think any quarterback 172 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: would be in good shape. Panthers that one and two 173 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: more losses than they had all the regular season last year, 174 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: and now the Vikings have the tiebreaker and the head 175 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: to head, So keep an eye on the people blame 176 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: some of the Panthers. This was sticking in your cross. 177 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: I've heard multiple analysts say, well, the protest this week, 178 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: I think that wound up being a big distraction. That 179 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: was a draining part. And you know, I'm not trying 180 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: to minimize what that meant for the city. Obviously, it's 181 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: it's a city police shooting your city changing event. But 182 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: when you try to take that event and say what 183 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: it meant for a football game, well, did it not 184 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: count in the first half of that game when they 185 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: were absolutely dominating. It only showed up in the second 186 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: half that it's just like, all right, people back off 187 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: a little, say come back to us, come back to us. 188 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: You're saying more original thoughts and stop partying what other 189 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: people say. Moving on, gentlemen. So we talked about one 190 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, uh super Bowl team from last sea. Let's 191 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: talk about the other one, the Denver Broncos who listen, listen, 192 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: come back to us around the NFL podcast. This room 193 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: was not thinking too highly of the Broncos, especially because 194 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: of their quarterback unrest. But here's Trevor Simeon now who 195 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: has the Broncos at three and oh, and Trevor Simeon 196 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: was asked to do things that maybe you wouldn't think 197 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: someone at his level would be able to do. He 198 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: was able to pass the ball downfield, make plays, and 199 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: in the end, the Broncos defeated the Cincinnati Bailos twenty 200 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: nine to seventeen in Cincinnati. My anti lock of the week, 201 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: uh anti lock breaks lock of the Week. I don't know, 202 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: I'll work on that, but anyway, I thought, since and 203 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: they had this game in him but West, the Broncos 204 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: are doing it all. It was a back and forth game, 205 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: and I think by the end of this game it 206 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: hit home to me that the Broncos are better this 207 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: year than they were last year because Trevor Simeon is 208 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: better than Peyton Manning and broncoswa interesting. I guess that's true, 209 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: and he's not. Before tonight, he was not asked to 210 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: make throws. He had attempted fewer passes of twenty or 211 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: more yards than any quarterback in the NFL entering this game. 212 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: And then he hooks up with Manny Sanders on a 213 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: forty one yard TV, drops one in the bucket for 214 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: Damarius Thomas on a fifty five yard TV, had a nice, 215 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: pretty throw to Jeff Hireman for twenty six yards. He 216 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: was letting the ball go and I think that was 217 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: that was an emphasis from the Broncos. They wanted to 218 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: Marrius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders more involved in their offense, 219 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: so they wouldn't be one dimensional. I think watching the 220 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: first two games, that's a very fair statement that they're 221 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: better than they were. And the defense, you know, all 222 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: these teams, you look at the Cardinals and the Panthers 223 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: don't look like the way they did at the end 224 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: of last season right now. But Denver and they talked 225 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: about at their defense that we're just well, it's all 226 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: one big thing. There is no last season in this season, 227 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: and their defense has played that way every single game 228 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: and they're getting better. Quarterback played to one yard receivers 229 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Sanders and da Marius Thomas. Today, Simeon can 230 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: do it. Listen to these numbers. Twenty three or thirty 231 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: five and twelve yards, eight point nine yards per tempt, 232 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, no interceptions, took only two sacks, hundred and 233 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: thirty two point one passer rating, and I you know, 234 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: I owe John Elway had a bit of an apology 235 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: because this is the guy that they had and some 236 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: of us own up to our you know, wrong statements, 237 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: that's all. And I'm saying, okay, well, then you know 238 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: what credit to you because you are doing that, okay, 239 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying, here, Dan, thank you. You guys 240 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: should all work out at yourselves. Trevor Simeon. Uh, looks great. 241 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: He looks like the guy that they needed. And listen, 242 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: they signed Mark Sanchez to be the quarterback, so it's 243 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: not like this was plan A. But he was in 244 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: the system. So Elway looks like he found somebody John 245 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: Elway was. It was noticed after the game that he 246 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: at replied at some guy who responded to him when 247 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: he took Trevor Trevor Simeon a year and a half ago, 248 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: saying why did you waste this pick on Trevor Simeon? 249 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: And the message didn't say anything, It was just an 250 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: a at this guy, but to that one. And I 251 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: love thinking about that. John Elway is potentially that petty 252 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: that he's going after some guy on Twitter saying how 253 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: you like me? Now? Not that petty, that competitive. I mean, wait, 254 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: all of us were snipping at each other all day 255 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: long about things we've done and said, so we're just 256 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: as we're essentially the I just said, I love it. 257 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: I love that he's sticking it to I'm just saying 258 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: I see us as the equal of John Elway. What 259 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: what's your concerned level of the Bengals. You you said 260 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: before this game, are we sure the Bengals are that 261 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: good of a team? What's your thought after it? Well, 262 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: they're now five and seven in their last twelve games, 263 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: so that's not really a playoff contender type of streak, 264 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: but they've also played quality competition. You're losing to the Broncos, 265 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: you're losing to the Steelers. I don't want to I 266 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: don't want to ding them too much, but they definitely 267 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: need Tyler Eiffort back in their passing the game because 268 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: it's all a j green right now. But they but 269 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: they haven't looked good. I think there's a way you 270 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: lose these games and you think better of them. But 271 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: the week one, I think they were really dominated. Lucky 272 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: to get a win. Last week, Yeah, I know, I 273 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: know the conditions were strange, but yeah, they were significantly 274 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: outplayed by Pittsburgh. And then it's it sounds like in 275 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: this game, at least in the second half, they were 276 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: Maybe we shouldn't be so surprised by the way that 277 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: their offense isn't as good because Marvin Jones, who is 278 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: playing like a star in Detroit and most of the 279 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: Nos doing things in Atlanta and Tyler Eifford, who's out 280 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: with the foot injury. They're in a really bad place 281 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: right now. A lot of firepower. How they they have, 282 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: they're maybe they're still figuring out how how they gonna 283 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: make this work. I think Iffort's the key. He's a 284 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: true difference maker, one of the best red zone weapons 285 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: in the entire league. Moving on, gentlemen, m there's a 286 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: surprising outcome. Uh, this one matchup between two Pennsylvania teams, 287 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: the Eagles who have a quarterback in Carson Wentz who 288 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: beat up on two bad teams in the first two 289 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: weeks in the season, and now all of a sudden 290 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: he got Pittsburgh. What's gonna happen? But guess what? Carson Wentz? 291 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: Uh took it to the Steelers, Gentlemen, Chris Wessling a 292 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: thirty four to three wins, where Wentz look great and 293 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: the Eagles defense looked outrageous. Huh, Wentz looks better every week. 294 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: And after a week in which the Ben Roethlisberger comparisons 295 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: were bound to happen because they were playing against each other, 296 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: two guys who have both been passed over by the 297 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, boast six ft five to forty athletic. If 298 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: people haven't seen Ben Roethlisberger, if you're young and you 299 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: didn't see him in his first few first few seasons 300 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL, one of the most athletic quarterbacks of 301 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: the twenty one century. Wentz is just like that. And 302 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: his ability to keep his eyes down field while while 303 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: there's pressure in the pocket really shone through today. Seventy 304 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: three yard touchdown to Darren Sprouls when he evaded a 305 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: couple of would be sackers, kept his eyes downfield and floated. 306 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: Greg's favorite part of Carson went his game, a catchable 307 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: feathery ball to Darren nice soft. No question that wins 308 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: is you know, much more than a lot of people thought, 309 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: including people right around these parts in our offices. You know, 310 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: people were all over the place on Winz. But it's 311 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: not just that, because this team, in the way that 312 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: the defense is operating, is a whole an other side 313 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: of the story. The Eagles suddenly are a looked much 314 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: more like a complete team than anyone would have predicted. Well, 315 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: I think Jim Schwartz is already joining the Josh McDaniels 316 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: for the top two candidates for head coaching vacancies in January, 317 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: and they Fletcher Cox had two more sack skin today pushed. 318 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: They pushed that pocket all day long. There was no 319 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: Steelers ground attack. Big Ben had rushers in his face, 320 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox averaging a sack of game over the last 321 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: seven games, Brandon Graham playing well, Connor Barwin, Malcolm Jenkins 322 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: had a great game. This is a stifling defense right now. 323 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: I mean they they held the Steelers a three points 324 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: that I mean with with the secondary that they have 325 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: and then and I think they're getting great safety play 326 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: out of Jenkins and Roddy McLeod. But with those cornerbacks 327 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: that you thought that was gonna be a weakness matching 328 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: up against the Steelers. Holding Pittsburgh at three points this 329 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: this might be the most surprising score of the season. 330 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: I know they were two and oh, but just the 331 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: way that the actual score line thirty four to three. 332 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: That's the biggest loss I think with Tomlins, its biggest 333 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: loss in the Tomlin era. Steelers moved the ball through 334 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: the air early, but this score looks lopsided because there 335 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: was no garbage time stats. The Steelers just couldn't get 336 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: it going in the second half. When they were down 337 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: by a lot and they couldn't pad any stats. They 338 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: they really missed Martavis Bryant in this game. You've got 339 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: Sammy coachs is good for one forty yard play a week, 340 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: but doesn't do anything else. Eli Rodgers left with a 341 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: toe injury and never came back. Marcus Wheaton dropped three passes. 342 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: There's no Ladarius Green, So I think it's finally coming. 343 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: The Chickens are coming home to roost a little bit 344 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: in the passing game, perfect time. Late. Leavy on Bell, 345 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: who's coming back next week, Tomlin told the CBS crew 346 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 1: l Bell will be starting. There's no like easing him 347 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: back in behind D'Angelo Williams. Well, I mean up until 348 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: this game, though D'Angelo Williams looms over the last two 349 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: seasons is one of the best free agent signings by 350 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: any team. You couldn't have asked we've done anymore but 351 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: eight for twenty one today, and that Philly line man 352 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: that Eagles fans who were in such a low place 353 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, wondering everything that was going 354 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: on in question, wonder if there would ever be a 355 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: bright spot. You're averaging over thirty points a game right now, 356 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: and you are a killing team how and you have 357 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: the feel that you have a quarterback for the next 358 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: X amount of years. You know it's years, Greg, I 359 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: think the most surprising thing with wins is that you 360 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: expect the big plays, the highlight plays, but with a 361 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, you also expect a ton of mistakes. And 362 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: he's the first quarterback in history to throw zero interceptions 363 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: in his first and how about how about the guts 364 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: to go to him when he hadn't played at all 365 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: in the preseason. He's coming off the broken ribs. This 366 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: is the biggest wind win trade I can ever think 367 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: of through three weeks in NFL history. The fact that 368 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: the Vikings are sitting there with with Sam Bradford looking 369 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: great at three and no, they're very happy with this credit. 370 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: I think he saw this and went and led to 371 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: the trade. And frankly, this is one of the best 372 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: coach teams in the NFL right now. And this is 373 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: not Kansas City's offense from last year. There are other 374 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: elements to it. They're playing with pace. It's a different situation. 375 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: The nfcas a little more interesting now. I think the 376 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: Giant Giants had a rough game today. But the Cowboys, 377 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: he goes there a little more, might ultimately live up 378 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: to the eight primetime games this season. Definitely more fun 379 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: to watch division than they were last year. And if 380 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: we're handing out, you know, pats on the back, how 381 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: about our friend Howie Roseman went through the mud man 382 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: who crawled through a river of duty and came out 383 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: clean on the other side. See I like that. You 384 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: adjusted it for the periscope audience. He changed you know, 385 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: no swear for you kids, no no beeps. Duty was 386 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: for you soolutely all right, moving on, gentlemen. Oh next, Uh, 387 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers got healthy on offense. Uh four 388 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: touchdowns from Aaron Rodgers um, and you know, an f 389 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: you performance for the Ages in the first half on 390 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: Sunday at lambeau Field. Uh four touchdown passes too to 391 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson. UH. Huge first half lead and then it 392 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: all went away in the second half. The offense got 393 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: really conservative and the Lions offense woke up to make 394 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: it a game. But in the end the Packers are 395 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: able to run out the clock a thirty four twenty 396 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: seven win, which won't quiet everybody and won't make it 397 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: make people say, oh all is well in Green Bay, 398 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: But we saw enough, uh, gentlemen to think that the 399 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: Packers can get this thing back on track, because they 400 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: really were putting on a clinic in the first half 401 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: of this game. Well, I think you have to be 402 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: excited that Jordy Nelson might be Jordy Nelson again. He 403 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: looked good. How much of that is a Lion's defense 404 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: that has no pass rushers left in the secondary looks 405 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: a little beat up too, that rema to be seen. 406 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: My takeaway from this game is that Mike McCarthy learned 407 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing from his playoff to Baccle of a couple 408 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: of years ago. Continues to take to get the foot 409 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: off the gas pedal and invites teams to come back 410 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: on him. Yeah. I think you're absolutely right. There was 411 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: no reason for this to be a game. But their 412 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: offense just look completely different. Uh. And there were even 413 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: some boo birds out at lambeau Field because it was 414 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: in the second half. Yeah, they were absolutely unstoppable in 415 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: the first half, so why would you change anything? Just 416 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: keep taking it to him. Instead, they tried to take 417 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: the air out of the football and it almost came 418 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: back to hart him. You don't do that against Matthew Stafford, 419 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: who's proving again and again uh this season that he's 420 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: a guy that can bring teams back. Well, if there's 421 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: people that are upset about Mike McCarthy, don Caper's also 422 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: has his critics in Green Bay. And you've allowed Matthew 423 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: Stafford to throw for three and eighty five yards today, 424 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: But your first takeaway is the number one Jordy Nelson 425 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: was out running a few people on a couple of 426 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: his routes staying and that would not have happened over 427 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. That changed everything. I would say 428 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: it was a little bit of you know, foe five 429 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: because they couldn't do anything when the game was out 430 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: of hand and was at the half, and they were 431 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: missing five defensive starters. So this is a good example 432 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: of a good team playing complementary football on a day 433 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: where you're not going to be at your best defensively. 434 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: Five defensive start that's a that's a big number. I 435 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: think almost all of them played in last week's game. 436 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: Detroit's missing a lot of guys to Stafford's playing like 437 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback easily this season, so it doesn't 438 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: surprise me that he beats up on eventually beats up 439 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,439 Speaker 1: on a banged up secondary. Then whoever watched this the 440 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: closest Marvin Jones two and five yards? How much of 441 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: that came when it mattered the most in this game? 442 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: The first touchdown kind of got him going. The second 443 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: touchdown came when a defender fell down in the secondary, 444 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: but he was he was open all game. Uh had 445 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,239 Speaker 1: six for two oh five and two touchdowns, seventy three 446 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. Like I said, that got them going 447 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: offensively where he just took off down the sideline on 448 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: eight targets, So there's no there's no question who's the 449 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: number one receiver. Their golden Tate had four for forty 450 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: on six targets. Marvin Jones, you know where they're using 451 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: him differently. It's good when you it's good when you 452 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: the August reports that you see on Rhodo World, and 453 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: and you know coming from all different places. Actually, uh 454 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: click and ring true and Marvin Jones the Matt Stafford 455 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: there's some real chemistry there. The other the other takeaway 456 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: I had from this game was on the packer side, UH, 457 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: in that you know, Eddie Lacy had a very nice 458 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: game seventeen for one oh three. But again there's he 459 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: doesn't look fast. In fact, he got into the secondary 460 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: at one point and it was almost like when a 461 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: linebacker has an interception, he's almost waiting to be tackled. 462 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not a guy that can blow past anybody. 463 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: And he's looked very strong and it takes people to 464 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: a lot of people to bring him down. And he 465 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: brings in another dimension to that offense. But I still 466 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: don't see. And we've talked about this, Uh, the same 467 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: guy that was really dominant at times in his first 468 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: couple of years. Dan, are you saying that P ninety 469 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: X is not the ultimate exercise regime out there? I 470 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he did me 471 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: it did for a little bit, and then he kind 472 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: of fell back on some bad habits. There's no way 473 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: to really know. And I feel like he wears more 474 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: and more pads every week. He's been effective this season, 475 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: though I would say hasn't got rights not an asset anymore. 476 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: He's not like, it's not an X factor. It's not 477 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: somebody you have to prepare for like he was as 478 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: a rookie and in the second year, and Mike McCarthy, 479 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: we saw something in Football Outsiders where they did research 480 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: showing him to be one of the worst records and 481 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: close games over the past two decades. He should learn 482 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: something from Vince Lombardi, who in the fifties when he 483 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: was offensive coordinar the Giants learned a lesson he carried 484 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: with him for the rest of his career. Never try 485 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: to sit on a ball for the entire quarter. From 486 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: then on, Lombardi staid, we played every game like the 487 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: score was nothing to nothing. Love it. Moving on. Uh, 488 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: let's let's stay in the NFC and talk about an 489 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: NFC matchup. Oh yes, the exciting NFC East and the 490 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: Redskins and Giants went back and forth all day at 491 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium game in what the Giants kind of summoned 492 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: some bad memories from last season. Uh. As they attempted, 493 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: they seemed to be uh finding ways to keep the 494 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: Redskins involved, keep them in the mix. And then when 495 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: the Redskins jumped ahead with a late field goal, Uh, 496 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: it was up to Eli Manning to lead the Giants 497 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: down the field and get the victory. And this is 498 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: what happened. Manning back to throw bombs the pocket and 499 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: his passes intercepted as he threw it over the middle 500 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: that was picked off by Suert Craven's who made a 501 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: diving interception, Manning second interception of the ball game. And 502 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. Just uh those Bob Papa of 503 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: w f A N Just a crushing way to end 504 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: the game, Mark Sessler. The Giants let one get away. 505 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: Had they do it. It's almost like it was almost 506 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: like someone had to win this game. It was a 507 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: very wild one, a bit of a slot fest. You 508 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: had six combined turnovers or six combined fumbles, three for 509 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: each team, and penalties nineteen penalties for two hundred yards 510 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: that kept kind of messing with both teams. It reminded me, 511 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: like you said, a little bit of some of the 512 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: issues the Giants ran in last into last year, and 513 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: they lost this game. But I would rather be the 514 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: Giants overtly for the rest of the year because the 515 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: combination when you look at Beckham, Victor Cruz and rookie 516 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd two hundred and sixty four yards off a 517 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: combined fifteen catches for that trio CRUs looked good. Again. 518 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: It's really just pick your poison. And and you know 519 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: this in theory, this Redskins cornerback tandem was one in 520 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: the better in the league, and they you know, it 521 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: was one big play after the next. Now the Redskins 522 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: had their big plays in the past game to the 523 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: New York. New York has themselves to blame because this 524 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: was this is a win they could they could have 525 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 1: gone a three on oh off of this and they 526 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: got in their own way. Wasn't the Washington secondary decimated 527 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: by injury in this game? I think d'An angel uh, 528 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: I mean going into the year, they were going into 529 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: the season, you looked at that cornerback due and said, oh, 530 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: this is gonna be excellent to watch them take on 531 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: New York. And it's not played out. Norman, you know 532 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: Norman had of course, after the game, he's going to 533 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: talk about we won. It was a team win. Well, 534 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: you did win, but he did not win his matchup 535 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: with Beckham. Beckham fried him, but show Uh Brelan left 536 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: the game with an ankle injury and D'Angelo Hall believed 537 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: to suffer an a c l injuring this game and 538 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: Connor's right up. He said, if we were scoring the 539 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: game within the game, this was no contest as far 540 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: as Beckham versus Norman reminded me of last year when 541 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: Gregg Cosell watched the All twenty two tape and said, physically, 542 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: it wasn't even close. Josh Norman can't hang with Odell 543 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: Beckham and cover Beckham is such a different, more skilled 544 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: player than almost any of these quarterbacks could claimed to be. 545 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: But they talked to both before the game separately to 546 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: calm them down the officials, and that annoyed Beckham. And 547 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: at first I was just annoyed at Beckham for being annoyed. 548 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: But the more I the more I see how this 549 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: game played out, there was a pier. There was a 550 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: moment where where Norman picked Odell Beckham up and kind 551 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: of carried him like a ballerina, as as Connor wrote 552 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: in his piece, and he's right and the rest standing 553 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: right there and did nothing about it. Isn't that exactly 554 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: what they would have been talking about the kind of 555 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: shenanigans they're trying to cut down on. Norman picked him up, 556 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: carried him about four yards and then dropped him at 557 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: the officials feet. No flag came out. I I have 558 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: to say, though, you know, Beckham, I didn't watch this game, closely, 559 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: But every time I looked up at the screen and 560 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: checked in on this game, I saw Beckham, uh, you know, 561 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: having thrown some type of fit. He's you know, you 562 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: like to have guys that are emotional, but sometimes this guy, 563 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: it seems like a little too much. Even at one point, 564 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: Eli Manning had to come over and and console him 565 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: or tell him to calm down. At one point he 566 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: took a swing at the kicking net and then got 567 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: clocked in the face by the kicking net. Kicking net. One, 568 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: dude's gotta calm down just a little. And after not 569 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: a little too much, it's a lot too much. And 570 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: after the game, you know, there the reports of him 571 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: in the locker room being more upset than than any 572 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 1: player they've ever seen, kind of ranting and raving. And 573 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: then that's not what you want out of your out 574 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: of your best players. But you do have to flip 575 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: it around. You have to give credit to Suell Craven's 576 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: who looked incredible. Lott good last week. Yeah, in some 577 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: limited action as a dime linebacker. And this the season's 578 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: over if they lose this game. I mean, I don't 579 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: have a lot of hopes for the Redskins. Anyways, but 580 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: the season's over. You're at o and three the Giants 581 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: and the Eagles would be at three and oh. So 582 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: that's the monster play to keep them hopes alive. I 583 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: have a term for this, the wounded animal game. Oh yeah, 584 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: in two games. Game needed that they're dangerous team even 585 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: if they're not great, and they found a way. Can 586 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: I say one more quick thing. Your wounded animal analogy 587 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: is said on because Gruden coached this game like a 588 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: wounded animal trying to back himself out of the corner 589 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: they went. They went a fake punt on fourth and 590 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: twelve near midfield. Tress Way hit a thirty one yard 591 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: pass that It was a big factor in this game, 592 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: and Gruden over and over did some unusual things to 593 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: just keep the Redskins alive. Typical NFC skiping batch the 594 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: end of the first half sequence to right, Oh that 595 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: was awful. Well, we've seen that from It was a 596 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles esque scenario where you know Kirk Cousins is in, 597 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: you know it's got he's got a chance to very 598 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: close tightened on New York's territory to throw a touchdown, 599 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: and he just takes a sack time runs out. What's 600 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: it's not good? Fitz Apocalypse in Kansas City, Ladies and gentlemen, 601 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: My boy Ryan Fitzpatrick through six interceptions, including I think 602 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: four in the fourth quarter alone, one of eight turnovers 603 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: by the Jets. Uh. The end result a humiliating yes 604 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: I'll say it again, three loss to the Chiefs at 605 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: Arrowheads Stadium, a game in which you know, I was 606 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: talking it up on Thursday Night's podcast that I was 607 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: excited about that I thought it was would be a 608 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: close game between two similar teams, similarly matched teams. And 609 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: I still think the Chiefs are not necessarily a much 610 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: better team in the Jets. But this was just a 611 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: game where everything went wrong. I would call up Tony Sperrano, Uh, 612 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: ship them uh to Jersey and and buried the balls 613 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: because if you're buried the balls, you're buried to pass quarterback. 614 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: That's well. I mean, Fitzpatrick was an absolute nightmare in 615 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: this game. And you gotta give the Kansas City defense 616 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: a lot of credit because, uh, they really did. Uh 617 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: they didn't put a lot of a ton of pressure 618 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: on him in the backfield, but everyone was covered, and 619 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about it. We were just raving about the 620 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: Jets wide receiver set up, as was the rest of 621 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: the UH football covering country, about how Brandon Marshall, Eric 622 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: Decker and Quincy and Nona uh make them a very 623 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: tough team to deal with. No one was open and 624 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: then Fitzpatrick does what Fitzpatrick does, which is he tries 625 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: to force balls. And when you try to force balls 626 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: and you don't have a good arm, Chris Westling, bad 627 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: things happen. What was your impression. I don't know how 628 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: closely you watch this game of Marcus Peters, who I 629 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: think is becoming like one of the best defensive players 630 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: in the league. Peters was everywhere, and he had two 631 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: interceptions in this game and seemed to be him and 632 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: Eric Berry every time. Especially. You know, the Jets had 633 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: multiple opportunities to get back in this game. It was 634 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: seventeen three for a long period, and the Jets had 635 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: two drives that took them inside the ten yard line 636 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: that ended interceptions, and Uh, I was yeah. I came 637 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: away extremely obviously disappointed, but also impress by the defense 638 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs that which was very bend but don't break. 639 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: They weren't perfect, but uh, what they did was they 640 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: put pressure on Fitzpatrick, and you know, the thing about 641 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: it is and the revenge of Bob Sutton, Bob Sutton 642 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: revenge game narrative. But it's just, I mean, it's just 643 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: classic Jets, and I've almost I don't know if I 644 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: I'm taking I'm distancing myself from the loss and trying 645 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: not to be so upset because I see that the 646 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: Patriots Avolis obviously look like they're gonna have at least 647 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: another year of absolute dominance. So why would I Why 648 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: should I get so upset anyway, But maybe we'll see 649 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: you know, slight regression dot com uh backslash members and 650 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: keep ruling um bad shoulder might not ever heal. Not 651 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: that I wanted that to happen, but you never know 652 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: how he'll recover. But the reason why the Jets are 653 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: such a maddening team to root for is because Ryan 654 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick looked like a young Joe Namath in Week two, 655 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: shredding the Bills and throwing just a litany of beautiful 656 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: downfield balls. And then it got to the point in 657 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: this game where every ball he was throwing was up 658 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: for grabs. I thought it was, uh, the most reckless 659 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: QB performance you'll see all season. I mean we mentioned 660 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: this every week with the Jets. But what's doubly concerning 661 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: is you had to get out of this game with 662 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: one of a team that's more in your tier potentially, 663 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: because you've got the Seahawks, the Steelers, the Cardinals, and 664 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw the Ravens up there after that too. 665 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: That is that is a tough month to deal with. 666 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: And it's the because it's I'll just ask you because 667 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: you you were for good reason. You you had hope 668 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: around Fitzpatrick out after last season. But Fitzpatrick is always 669 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: weak but fun exactly, but he's always We've always talked 670 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: about as a one year type of proposition at quarterback. 671 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: And now you're getting the second year. And what is 672 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: your P level? My the PEA scale, your PA scales, 673 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: that's about six point five, but it couldn't have been 674 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: lower well that morning, right. What my point is is 675 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: that I'm willing it's the Fitzpatrick coast there. Forget Gino coast. 676 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: Every one talks about this guy is a game manager. 677 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: No one is more up and down than Ryan. He 678 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: is not a game manager. He is I'm gonna go 679 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: for broke every game and last week he's the best 680 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. In this week, he's the worst. 681 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm willing to kind of throw this game out as 682 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: a disaster, and I wouldn't be surprised if they play 683 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: better next week. It just wouldn't shock me. But it 684 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: doesn't make it any any any more easy to stomach. 685 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: And I just want to, you know, I want to 686 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: try to focus on the Chiefs a little bit. It's 687 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: so easy to get hung up on the Jets for 688 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. But eight turnovers, but Travis Kelsey 689 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: looked very much like a baby Gronk. He had one 690 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: play in this game where he caught a pass underneath, 691 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: he ran away from Calvin Pryor, who was a good safety, 692 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: and then ran over another safety, Marcus Gilchris Uh. Impressive stuff. 693 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to his dating reality show. Does Kelsey 694 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: my the one? I get the baby Gronk thing and 695 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: you see it from here to there? But Gronk when 696 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: he's on the field does a game after game after game, Kelsey, 697 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: I feel like you get that, and then he disappears 698 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: for a week or two, and then he does it 699 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: again in a big way. There are some major differences 700 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: between the two, they look a lot of like after 701 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: the catch. Gronk so much better in the red zone 702 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: because he's so much more physical and also a better blocker. 703 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: But as we're also it's fair to call him a 704 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: baby version of Grins. What I'm saying like, it's two 705 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: year old, just a two years if a two year 706 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: old groundfield? There you go, Okay, that's all I'm saying. No, 707 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, I was just taking on the 708 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: nicknamework catching Kelsey. You're gonna watch it good. Let's give 709 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: them a plug. I'm sure they'll return the favorite. You 710 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: know what I think? I think we have to check 711 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: in with my old man, who again a fever Jets fan. 712 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: He watched the Super Bowl three conquest by Joe Namath 713 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: and it's been all downhill since. He's a mention if 714 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: he did this assignment. Let's check in with Keith. His 715 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: name is Keith. He'll doubt about it. He's a league 716 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: Jets fan. Well does he go to say game to say? 717 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: What does he go pull? Happen? The Fitzpatrick performance today 718 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: was probably one of the worst I've ever seen the 719 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: QB have uh in in Jet history. The question that 720 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: I asked that I think everyone will be asking, is 721 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: if I was the backup quarterback like Gino Smith, for example, 722 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: when are you going to be able to get into 723 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: a game? If you didn't get into this one. There 724 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: was certainly opportunity that the Jets had in the second 725 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: half that I think Bowls just should have pulled Fitzpatrick 726 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: because obviously he did not have it and he kept 727 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: forcing it in particular and the red zone where he 728 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: had two picks that were just horrible. So that's the question. 729 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: I think that's to be answered. Let's see what happens 730 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: next week. I love it Keith talking about talking Gino 731 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: in the game again. I think it Gino so bad 732 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: he couldn't even get into this game well, or that 733 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: this regime hates Gino so much. If he can't get 734 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 1: into this game, he's never going to get you. Also, 735 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 1: is the a tougher city to coaching where if you 736 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: even make a coaching or a quarterback switch late on 737 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: a road game in week three, you're gonna have to 738 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: deal with it all week long? Is it really worth it? 739 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: But I think that's how highly regarded Fitzpatrick is by 740 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 1: their coaching space, if not the front all see, I 741 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: don't think it's that crazy to think Gino Smith would start. 742 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: We know what you think about Gino Smith. Excellent intro music. 743 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: I like the heads a keeper. It had some funk 744 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, there was a little funk to it. 745 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: That was Dick Banks, of course, the immortal Dick Banks. 746 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: All right, that's a keeper hanging there. Dad. We'll we'll 747 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: unpack this game in a full conversation tomorrow. Moving on, gentlemen, 748 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Cults. Wounded animal game, guys, Oh, wounded animal game. 749 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: They needed it, they need Let's work on that for 750 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: next week. Irish sound Yeah, like a fox trapped in 751 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: a trap. A Tasmanian devil goes oh and two with 752 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: the one on one chargers in their building, Chargers with 753 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: a late lead. It was all coming down to this, 754 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: and uh, what does Andrew Luck do when he needs 755 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: to save the season. He looks the t Y Hilton 756 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: shots gun snapped your left hash for man rush and throws. 757 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: He finds Hilton, who spits out of a head acup 758 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: fifty five forty funny five forty h funny top five 759 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: touched up Taylor hilt Don. On second and one, he 760 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: erupts for seventy two and the Colts gonna go ahead, 761 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: touched down two one sevent The Colts then forced to 762 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: turn over on the next possession, and there you go. 763 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: A twenty six twenty to win Greg Rosenthal game they 764 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: desperately needed and they got it. They did it. Really 765 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 1: keeps their hopes alive heading to London this week. But 766 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: watching this game, it didn't make me think any differently 767 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: about the Colts. Didn't make me think they were a 768 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,439 Speaker 1: good team. If this was the only game you watch 769 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: so the Chargers this year, you'd think these are two 770 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: bad teams making a lot of mistakes. I mean they 771 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: got the Chargers got into that position to win despite 772 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: all sorts of problems. I mean, Philip Rivers had a 773 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: really poor game. I would say overall, Jason Varrette, who 774 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: I thought was making the leap, was picked on and 775 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: he was the guy in coverage on that play, and 776 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: he was really the difference in the game was luck 777 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: going to Verrette in single coverage to Hilton and Dorset 778 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: again and again, those guys winning off the line of 779 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,359 Speaker 1: scrimmage against Verrette, who was out of the lineup, out 780 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: of the game just for a little bit. So maybe 781 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: maybe he was hurt in the game. I don't know 782 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: what it was, but either way, Andrew Luck overall played well, 783 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: but he made mistakes too. It's like he he had 784 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 1: a terrible interception, he had an unforgivable fumble that was 785 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,320 Speaker 1: returned for a touchdown. So there was a lot of 786 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: mistakes by both of the two quarterbacks. I noticed that 787 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: when every time Andrew Luck plays, Twitter has to engage 788 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: in some dramatic, sweeping debate over whether he is just 789 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: not a good quarterback, and then he comes back and 790 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: leads a game winning drive usually when that debate is happening. Well, Greg, 791 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: does this change the way that we've killed the Colts? 792 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: I'll see, And for being an incomplete team on both 793 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: sides of the ball. I think there's some things they 794 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: do that are interesting that they're gonna win games like this, 795 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: But does it really change your opinion of Indianapolis on 796 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: any level? Now? They ran the ball well in the 797 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: first half, which was good to see, but they didn't 798 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: in the second half at all. Uh. Luck had an 799 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,800 Speaker 1: okay game, but he made some careless, careless turnovers their defense. 800 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: And I think you made fun of me for saying 801 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: this last week. I think their defense is playing hard. 802 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: I think they're under man but they're flying around. There 803 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: are places to be made in this game, though for 804 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: the Chargers that they just didn't make. I mean Philip 805 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,919 Speaker 1: Rivers missed a lot of open throws, including a third 806 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,399 Speaker 1: down to Travis Benjamin when they could have killed the clock. 807 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: He just missed the throw, the game would be over. 808 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: Wasn't making fun of you? I thought it was funny 809 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: because that was the highest compliment you could give, that 810 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: they're playing hard and earth to everyone who is a 811 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: college football fan. NFL players do try hard. I mean Jack. 812 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: At one point there was a second and forty because 813 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: Jack Doyle had been called for holding twice. Jack. The 814 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: offensive line of the Colts was a nightmare. Uh. They 815 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: could not protect the Chargers rushing just four, which is 816 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 1: why on the key play of the game, Chargers fans 817 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: they're look a lot of a lot of fan bases 818 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: have reasons to be miserable today and in general like 819 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: they've had a tough little too happy. I think the 820 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: Chargers fans are in that group that because this particular 821 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: group of Chargers not to mention, the team might leave. 822 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: They have led in their last fifteen games. They've led 823 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter ten times, They've lost seven of 824 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: those ten games, and they're three and twelve in those 825 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: fifteen games. Overall, they managed to find new ways to 826 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: lose games each and every week. And this time it 827 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: was blitzing on fourth and seven with the game on 828 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: the line, but playing off coverage and Andrew Luck just 829 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: picks out easy catch. I mean, that's a coaching issue 830 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: that Mike McCoy, who you know, some feel like was 831 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: given a lot like Mike McCarthy when it comes to 832 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: late game play. Yeah, I mean that's Jack Doyle is 833 00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: cult is his number? Don't know? Maybe? I mean we 834 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: can't get out of here with talking about Melvin Gordon. 835 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: What happened two point two yards per carry? You watched 836 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: to Greg? What? Or I just I thought he ran 837 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: pretty well in this game. He made he could have 838 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: had a long of seven two point two yards per carry. 839 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 1: I'm telling you he ran pretty hard in this game. 840 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: I don't I didn't have a huge problem with spice 841 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 1: tracks on the floor. He would have had a couple more. 842 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: He had forty three yards receiving, would have had a 843 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: touchdown receiving if if Rivers didn't miss him a couple 844 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: of times. Let's move on and talk about uh, the 845 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Another wounded double wounded animal game. It's like 846 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: an animal sanctuary where you take wounded animals you find 847 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: in the wild, and then you put them into this 848 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: sanctuary and then you have them fight. Don't That is 849 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: the exact opposite of how animal rescue operated. This is 850 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: like a rogue one new thing. It's it's it's humane vision. 851 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: Gott we got rid of bear baiting. Bad news, guys, 852 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 1: Bad things happen in the world. This sanctuary finds wounded 853 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: animals and they have them fight each other. Well, there 854 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 1: was a quarterback who suffered after suggesting that as a strategy. 855 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: They just suggested, Mark, it's a plot line for an 856 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: Archer episode. Al Right, freezing, here we go. Are you ready? Dolphins? 857 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: Brown's Browns fell behind to Miami. Looked like Miami's gonna coast. 858 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 1: All the people, thousands and thousands of people in their 859 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: knockout leagues were feeling good about their Miami pick. But 860 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: guess what, the Browns were plucky. The Browns kept coming 861 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: back and after Ryan's Tannehill fumble late in the fourth quarter, 862 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: they had a chance to steal the game at hard 863 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: Rock UH Cafe Stadium whatever it is. Cody Parker signed 864 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 1: a day ago, lined up forty seven yard or to 865 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: win it. Stamp is back, paulishtown parking into it and 866 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 1: over and that kicks up. Eddie missed tag wide left. 867 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 1: He hooked it again. We're gonna go over time and 868 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 1: as we view it, he really missed it. I mean 869 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't closed. He really hooked it left. He's hooked 870 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: him left all day. That's w K R K, Jim Donovan, 871 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: Doug Deacon and uh listen, that was three misses by 872 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: um Cody Parkey. And then the Miami Dolphins took care 873 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: of business in the overtime given new life j Ji 874 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: around the left corner for the touchdown thir final mark. 875 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: Another dark day, uh for you as a Browns fan. 876 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. I mean, you can look at 877 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: this game a number of ways. I yes, it had 878 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: the moment where I pounded my fist on on my 879 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: work table and you guys were you know, you knew 880 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,399 Speaker 1: what was happening. Everyone didn't talk to me for about 881 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: a half an hour. But I'm gonna I'm gonna tell 882 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: you from another angle I think Dolphins fans this was 883 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: this was Both of these teams have a lot to 884 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: work on, and I want to get to Miami in 885 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: a second. But with Cleveland, I'll say one thing before 886 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: we get into the Dolphins. I've watched a lot of 887 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 1: bad Browns football over the years. We all have. They 888 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: are playing hard. They played hard against the Ravens. They're undermanned. 889 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,359 Speaker 1: So you want to pick them apart and say they're 890 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: not as talented, they don't have this or that. Well 891 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: that's obvious. Anyone watching the games can see that. But 892 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 1: they fought today. Terrell Prior a hundred sixty five yards 893 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: off twelve touches. They admits they mixed in Prior and 894 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: Cody Kessler at quarterback. It is an undermanned group. They 895 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: did the best they could. My I would say one 896 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,280 Speaker 1: thing about the Dolphins before we split off. Here. This team, 897 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 1: if you watch what happened with the Patriots, and it's 898 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,800 Speaker 1: New England and it's the Cleveland So you couldn't have 899 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,800 Speaker 1: two different opponents, but super streaky, it doesn't matter what. 900 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: The defense is absolutely asleep at the wheel during the 901 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 1: first half against New England and then start to come 902 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: to life. Same thing Tannehill two interceptions that really gave 903 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 1: Cleveland a feeling that they were in this game going 904 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 1: in a halftime. He got very hot in the third quarter, 905 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,800 Speaker 1: and then their final four drives let Cleveland back in 906 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: the game with I think it was four punts, a fum, 907 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: a strip, sack, fumble, and basically go into overtime and 908 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: lead a short touchdown drive where j Ji, who has 909 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,680 Speaker 1: been invisible, runs in for the eleven yard game winning score. 910 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,320 Speaker 1: It's a if if you're Miami you have not seen 911 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: the change you want to see on offense in consistency. 912 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. If you're a Dolphins fan or you're the Dolphin, 913 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: you know I'm not gonna give you a lollipop here. 914 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 1: It's neither team could come out with a win with 915 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: a lollipop. But it's just like this would have been 916 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: an embarrassing loss. Had to have a game at home, 917 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 1: the game was lost. If if if the perhaps just 918 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: signed a kicker on Saturday exactly literally hadn't practiced with 919 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: the team and had to do it in warm and 920 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: that's the toughest signment not going to kill that Guy's 921 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: a little bit like that. They should have avoided that 922 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: in some way. But that's besides this. These are two 923 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: bad teams. But it sounds like it might have been 924 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 1: like a wildly fun game to watch. And it's a 925 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: shame for Terrell prior that they didn't win, because I 926 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: think his performance will be remembered differently than it should 927 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: have been. That's something you would see, like in the 928 00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 1: nineties seventies, a guy playing quarterback, running back, wide receiver. 929 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: And how much how many yards of the account for 930 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 1: total d sixty? Well, actually, if you if you put 931 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: in passing, it was it was about two hundred yards. 932 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 1: And they you you know they I give I give 933 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson credit for all the critique he takes for 934 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,240 Speaker 1: various aspects of his you know, coaching. He is creative 935 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: and he can it is to get fun even to 936 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: watch on game pass, just for the quarterback thing going 937 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: back and forth. But prior, if you take away that 938 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 1: ridiculous taunting, I call it ridiculous tuns last week, this 939 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,320 Speaker 1: team could very easily with one made field, will be 940 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: two and one. Right now, they are not a two 941 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: and one team. They're much closer to a one and 942 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 1: two or oh and three team. But I'm telling you 943 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: they're the effort is there, and that's that what they were. 944 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 1: They were so boring on game pass for years because 945 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: they seemed to float from the second quarter on. Tell 946 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: us more about Kessler was it sounds like he was 947 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 1: not a liability really well. I think he. I think 948 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 1: he started the game in a very raw place and 949 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: he seemed to gain a little bit of comfort. But 950 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: he's limited. There's a lot of limitations to his game. 951 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,880 Speaker 1: They lost the deep ball element entirely. I mean the 952 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 1: fact that he ended up twenty one thirty three for 953 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: two forty four and mentioning prior he did something with 954 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: the hundred twenty receiving yards, at least thirty passing years, 955 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: at least twenty rushing yards. No one's done that since 956 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 1: Frank Gifford in the Browns get killed and and for 957 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways they deserve it, but they 958 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 1: did a nice job with for all. Pro are recognizing 959 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: that he could be a player, and looks like they've 960 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 1: turned him into something that's yeah, turn him into a 961 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 1: potential star. Moving on, led by Russell Wilson and see Woke, 962 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: the Seahawks got healthy a thirty eight teen win over 963 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 1: the forty niners at the clink. Well not quite healthy. 964 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson got banged up again. What's the latest, Mark, Well, 965 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 1: there's probably developments on that even as we're doing this show, 966 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 1: because the reports were that he was going to get 967 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: an m R I tonight, not to not the typical 968 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 1: Monday morning on his knee. It did not look good. 969 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 1: We watched it. It looks like he got you know, 970 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,759 Speaker 1: he got massively rolled up on the ankle bent, the 971 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: knee bent. Please tell me where spraying? So? I mean 972 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,839 Speaker 1: he listen, he never even left the field. It's it's 973 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: important to note that it's the opposite leg. It was 974 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 1: the right ankle sprain that he suffered early in the years. 975 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 1: So both legs are banged up for a mobile quarterback, 976 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: and it probably will affect you know, he is he 977 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: is not healthy. But I will say that the bright 978 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: spot coming out of this game. Everyone who wanted to 979 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 1: doubt what of the Seattle's offense would continue to operate 980 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,840 Speaker 1: the way they did last year throughout the season. Forget 981 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,439 Speaker 1: it not last year, last weekends the Rams. They looked 982 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,800 Speaker 1: fine in this game. Yes it's the Niners, but a 983 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 1: hundred yards for both Baldwin and Graham and the first 984 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:17,720 Speaker 1: half alone receiving and the woke bloke, oh boy, Kristen 985 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 1: Michael look great. And you know what we've We've all 986 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,320 Speaker 1: mentioned this a little bit. Chris has been on the 987 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 1: Michael thing for a long long time, but we wanted 988 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,399 Speaker 1: to see what he could do if you just got 989 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 1: everyone out of the mix. They did that today and 990 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 1: he was as advertised, that forty one yard touchdown. We've 991 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 1: used the phrase shot out of a can, and that's 992 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: exactly what he looked like. There was a play you 993 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: and I saw, I was watching this game in the background, 994 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: a one yard loss where he's join a spin and 995 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: it's one of the most impressive one yard lost runs 996 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: you're ever gonna see. He's just he's much more explosive 997 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 1: than Thomas Rawls right now, Like on a scale of 998 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 1: one to ten, Michaels at a nine point five and 999 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: Rawles is at a three. Inexplosive And this game lies 1000 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: box score wise, because I think all of Seattle's weapons 1001 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 1: would have done much more if they hadn't they didn't 1002 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: take their foot off the break. But there's just you're 1003 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: not pushing, You're not you're not trying to go all 1004 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,800 Speaker 1: out against the Niners seven and you've got Trevan Trevin 1005 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: Boykin in I mean the forty Niners defense, after starting 1006 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: with a shutout, managed to give up forty six points 1007 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: last week despite turning you know, turning the ball over 1008 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,760 Speaker 1: three times. This time it was thirty seven h points 1009 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks. This is the least hopeful team I 1010 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 1: think in the league, even like you said, sometimes in 1011 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 1: oh and three teams a little closer to one and 1012 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: two to be they're closer to the worst team in 1013 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: the league because the defense. The defense does not look 1014 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: good in Blaine Gabber can't shoot straight. But wouldn't you 1015 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 1: also say that part of that hopeless be expected is 1016 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: comes from a front office that's always in turmoil and 1017 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 1: it's always backbiting well and looked at the two quarterbacks 1018 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 1: they had and said that'll do Kaepernick starting by I 1019 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 1: was surprised, Kaepernick. Why not pull put Kaepernick into this 1020 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 1: game when you're getting destroyed? Credit More credit should go 1021 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 1: to Doug Baldwin's way, who's really coming one of the 1022 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,839 Speaker 1: top ten overall wide receivers in the NFL. I'm still 1023 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: worried about the Seahawks. They don't have a good offensive line, 1024 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 1: and you get the feeling it's just gonna be like 1025 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 1: one of those seasons where next spring you'll see quotes 1026 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: from Russell Wilson saying never was healthy last year and 1027 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 1: he's still gonna Now You've got a good, a good 1028 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 1: test next week at the Jets, who have a great 1029 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: defensive line. We gotta see what Russell Wilson will be 1030 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,279 Speaker 1: able to do when he's just not able to move 1031 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,320 Speaker 1: like he likes to move and he's not going to 1032 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: get faster. After this latestip, I will say Boykin looked 1033 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 1: fine running the offense. Not that that's gonna sustain itself, 1034 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: but it's like it seems this year it doesn't matter 1035 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,359 Speaker 1: where you draft to the guy or where he came from. 1036 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: He just goes in as a rookie and he does it. 1037 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:43,200 Speaker 1: I mean, quarterbacks are being trained. It's not a Quarterbacks 1038 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,760 Speaker 1: are being trained to play in the pros right away, 1039 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 1: not year five and six. Carrol said that that Russell 1040 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 1: Wilson would start next week, but that's one of those 1041 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: right after the game, before the m R I you 1042 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: never know you might end up seeing Trevin Boyken, Jared 1043 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: goffin the game. Look at all these guys, he's not ready. 1044 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: He's different. He's different. Why is he different? Because he's 1045 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 1: coming from a college offense where every play was sent 1046 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,359 Speaker 1: him from the sideline. He's never running at the same 1047 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 1: thing you saw him playing the preseason. He wasn't it. 1048 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with his physical talent. I'm 1049 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: just saying his pree snap and post snap. He's just 1050 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: not ready to play, which shouldn't be so sure because 1051 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 1: everyone going out there is doing. Look at his coaching 1052 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: versus the coaching on other teams. That's a fair point. 1053 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: That's a fair point. And I do think there's what 1054 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 1: you're seeing around the league, and you see it in 1055 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 1: New England especially. I think smart coaches are going and 1056 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: getting mid round picks, using them on talented quarterbacks and 1057 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: training them how to play the position, versus signing a 1058 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,440 Speaker 1: washed up veteran and going the alleged safe route. Go 1059 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: play the go play the talented young player. Why not 1060 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:53,240 Speaker 1: moving on? Here's a here's a head scratcher. Rex Ryan 1061 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 1: circles the Wagons facing possible extinction. The Animal Game after 1062 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,839 Speaker 1: ugly Owen two starred that included the missile of his oc. 1063 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 1: Ryan and the Bills whooped up on the Cardinals, a 1064 00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 1: win that qualifies as the biggest starn of Week three 1065 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,279 Speaker 1: or is it Greg? No, it was. I think we're 1066 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 1: gonna use the word stunner. It was a stunning upset. 1067 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 1: I was stunned. The Arizona Cardinals went three and out 1068 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 1: for their first five drives of the game. They threw 1069 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: an interception for their last four drives of the game. 1070 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,719 Speaker 1: That is an unbelievably bad performance from an offense that 1071 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,960 Speaker 1: hasn't looked right this year. I think even if you 1072 00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 1: look closely at if you look closely at that Bucks game, 1073 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,720 Speaker 1: you really and looked at the offense by the Cardinals. 1074 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,840 Speaker 1: Even in that game, they didn't quite look as in 1075 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 1: sync in terms of consistently moving the ball on offense. 1076 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 1: They definitely had spurts, kind of like the Dolphins that 1077 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 1: I you gotta give it to Rex, you gotta give 1078 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,919 Speaker 1: it to their defense to step up and dominate this game. 1079 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about Greg Roman being fired. 1080 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: And we knew what we were going to do on offense. 1081 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 1: And yes, they blew open some holes for Lashawn McCoy. 1082 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,840 Speaker 1: They ran the ball pretty well. They threw for eighty 1083 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: nine yards on twenty five dropbacks. They couldn't throw the 1084 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 1: ball at all. It was all the Bills defense. And 1085 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,600 Speaker 1: they deserve all the credit in the world for that 1086 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 1: because they just took this game. As a certified rexpert. 1087 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 1: I knew they were gonna win one of these two games. 1088 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna get I knew they 1089 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,759 Speaker 1: were gonna get both. But the Cardinals Patriots, he was 1090 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: gonna do something to save his his butt from going 1091 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,359 Speaker 1: oh and four into Week five. But I definitely did 1092 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 1: not see them laying the laying the bomb on the Cardinal. Here. 1093 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 1: Here's why I said that about the Card's offense. He 1094 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,040 Speaker 1: made a face West because Malcolm Michael Floyd's not playing well, 1095 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 1: John Brown's not playing well. Partly about the players. The 1096 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,919 Speaker 1: offensive line even is a little up, up and down. 1097 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,359 Speaker 1: They started that game very very slow, five or six 1098 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 1: drives without doing anything, so they everything's not clicking even 1099 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 1: in a game like that, and and it showed up today. Well, 1100 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 1: I made the face because everyone wants to put Carson 1101 00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,319 Speaker 1: palmer struggles on whatever he did in the playoffs last year, 1102 00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 1: and I thought he played really well against good Bucks, 1103 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: including a draw have late in the second quarter. That 1104 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 1: was as well as you'll see any quarterback play in 1105 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: a single drive. Yeah he was. He wasn't like he 1106 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 1: He hasn't been the sole problem by any means with 1107 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,480 Speaker 1: them starting wanting to look, if they hit a field goal, 1108 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,800 Speaker 1: they'd be two and one. But this was a deeply 1109 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: disappointing performance. It was a eighties six yards to seven 1110 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 1: early in the game. I mean, Carson Palmer historically has 1111 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 1: always thrown interceptions, and last year was quite a remarkable 1112 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: kind of peak season for him. I don't know, I 1113 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 1: don't think I'd find it surprising that the whole offense 1114 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 1: would come down a notch or two and I and 1115 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 1: after week three, I'm not ready to say that it 1116 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: won't get back to higher levels, but it's it's a 1117 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,600 Speaker 1: lot to ask them to go do that two seasons 1118 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 1: in a row. Here's the concern. If you're Cardinals fan, 1119 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 1: you're a little nervous right now that last season almost 1120 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 1: everything worked, almost everything was perfect, and you couldn't get 1121 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 1: over the hump. And now you're trying to match that 1122 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 1: season where everything seemed to go right and so far 1123 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 1: some of these things that worked in your favorite and 1124 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,560 Speaker 1: not and Carson Palmer, you know he never had a 1125 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 1: game like this during the regular season, like maybe outside 1126 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: of the same late in the year, but now and 1127 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 1: and the interceptions were in catchup mode. Uh, you know 1128 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,320 Speaker 1: the game really ended uh much earlier than that. I 1129 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 1: think it was thirty two seven late in the third 1130 00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: quarter and that was pretty much pretty much all she wrote. 1131 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 1: After a big defensive play by the Bills. But look, 1132 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 1: they've got their plan. This was Rex's dream game. Two rushes, 1133 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 1: two under an eight yards. Lashawn McCoy ran hard. They 1134 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,800 Speaker 1: had some holes from Tyrod Taylor made big plays with 1135 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 1: his legs, especially a forty nine yard or early in 1136 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: the game. I mean they won a game without Sammy Watkins. 1137 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,839 Speaker 1: Cordy Glenn and who am I forgetting was also out 1138 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: for this game, Ronald Darby. Those are three of the band, 1139 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,359 Speaker 1: like half the rookie class, right, three of their very 1140 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: best players. And those these are guys that were even 1141 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 1: there for the Jets game, all right, are not in 1142 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,800 Speaker 1: the game and they dominate the card. Then let me 1143 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 1: ask you a question, because I think the one thing 1144 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 1: that and I know you think I always like to 1145 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,560 Speaker 1: pick on Rex, I'm actually not going to pick on Rex, 1146 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 1: but over his Buffalo tenure. The team has been highly undisciplined, 1147 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,360 Speaker 1: which is on him. I don't care what the offensive 1148 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,359 Speaker 1: coordinator is. It's been an issue with penalties on both 1149 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,160 Speaker 1: sides of the ball after this game, because the Bills 1150 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 1: are frisky at home no matter what happens, which is 1151 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,320 Speaker 1: which is true? Do you have any higher trust factor 1152 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 1: in the Bills turning this season around or is this 1153 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,399 Speaker 1: a kind of game we'll look back on and say 1154 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,239 Speaker 1: that was weird? Yeah. I don't know if I believe 1155 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 1: that they're gonna put it all together. But I thought 1156 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,319 Speaker 1: there would be a circle the wagons game and Rex 1157 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 1: would um the promise. He's always circling the wagons. That's 1158 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,759 Speaker 1: part of this, right. You never know if you could 1159 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: get this Bill's team in any given week. I don't 1160 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 1: have much that you're gonna get it weak Aftercdotically, anecdotally, 1161 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,360 Speaker 1: you can say, oh, I knew Rex would have his 1162 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 1: team show up one of these two games. But there's 1163 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna be stinkers along the way where you think, and 1164 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: you can't. You can't win without a passing game, and 1165 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 1: I think they have shown over three games they can't 1166 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,440 Speaker 1: throw right now, and Rex is going to be one 1167 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,759 Speaker 1: of the best defensive coordinators in the league next year, 1168 00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: I believe because of games like this, He's got Zach Brown, 1169 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 1: Corey White, Lorenzo Alexandria, Aaron Williams, Preston Brown, core game 1170 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 1: like all these guys that are not the premier guys 1171 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 1: kind of going out there, flying around and dominating the 1172 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,839 Speaker 1: game against the Cardinal and Rex feeling feeling good after 1173 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: the game. Was asked about the Patriots their next matchup, 1174 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,040 Speaker 1: he had this to say about their quarterback situation. Look, 1175 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: I can say, Bannuly, I don't care who plays quarterbacks. 1176 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,040 Speaker 1: I know Brady ain't as I don't care who plays quarterback. 1177 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:25,720 Speaker 1: Steve Grogan played quarterback. If Fellow checks playing quarterback, we're 1178 00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 1: coming after him. Yeah, I promise you that. I'm sorry. 1179 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,960 Speaker 1: He is highly tedious. How about this strategy? Your mouth 1180 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 1: shut for once? He's so obsessed with and Beltech specifically, 1181 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,919 Speaker 1: it's it's a little single white female. Uh. Let's let's 1182 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 1: move on, gentlemen. Uh and talk about the Oakland Raiders 1183 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: versus the Tennessee Titans. Yes we do. We described that 1184 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: as a team of a TL loser goes home match. 1185 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 1: Derek carthrough for two nine yards and a score in 1186 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariote in the Titans offense remains stuck in mud 1187 00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 1: a seventeen ten Ray, there's win over the Titoons. West 1188 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 1: is the time to make that phone call to break 1189 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 1: up with them? Yeah, pull the plug, I mean, pull 1190 00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: the plug on the Titans. And if there's one case 1191 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 1: that you can stack against him, say, this is why 1192 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 1: they're off. They're passing attack is contested passes of eight 1193 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 1: yards or less. Those passes aren't supposed to be contested. 1194 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be easy. That's what they throw short 1195 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,440 Speaker 1: of the sticks and it's up for grabs, like the 1196 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,920 Speaker 1: receivers aren't getting open. There's no creativity. Marcus Mariotte's decision 1197 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,200 Speaker 1: making his regrets this the running game. There were signs 1198 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 1: of life. Henry and Murray both look good. But you're 1199 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 1: you're talking about a defense allowing over five yards of 1200 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 1: game and the Titans can't pass on them until they 1201 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 1: open up the offense and the two minutes drill at 1202 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 1: the end of the game. Why not? Yeah, why aren't 1203 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,920 Speaker 1: they playing hurry up earlier? That's not their vision for 1204 00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 1: what they want to do. I mean, it's a fair question, 1205 00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 1: but that's not their vision. Once that I saw three 1206 00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 1: catches for twenty eight yards by the Titans are eivers 1207 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:04,440 Speaker 1: and wide receivers entering the fourth quarter. Well that's the 1208 00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 1: Raiders against those defense. I don't know how I'm suddenly 1209 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 1: in the position of defending the Titans. Sorry, cant tonight 1210 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 1: have a terrible cough, um, but I mean, like the 1211 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,520 Speaker 1: people on periscope got to see you hit the button? Well, 1212 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,600 Speaker 1: I watched the periscope thing last week on these hideous 1213 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 1: interludes of me coughing that are not caught because we 1214 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,040 Speaker 1: have a cough button for the audio version, but they're 1215 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 1: absolutely um a plague on the periscope crowd. I apologize, 1216 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 1: but honestly, this plan and what they're trying to do, Yeah, 1217 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 1: they're not there yet. That I get. They're not the 1218 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 1: team of a tal right now, But I I are 1219 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 1: you throwing? Do you think the whole thing just needs 1220 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 1: to be jumped? Because why why are you saying that 1221 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 1: after three weeks? I get tweets all day. Is Marcus 1222 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 1: Mariota terrible as they regressed? Is he just not a 1223 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 1: good quarterback? I think Marcus Mariota could be an outstanding 1224 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 1: quarterback with a better offensive mind controlling his career, and 1225 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 1: I hope Josh McDaniels lands in Nashville so we can 1226 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,760 Speaker 1: see that. To Mark's point, they should be there a No. 1227 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,480 Speaker 1: And three team in my mind, and they've managed the 1228 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 1: schedule enough to be one and two. We'll see how 1229 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,720 Speaker 1: this AFC South plays out, but all of the offseason 1230 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 1: excitement about this division has not panned out early. It 1231 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if the Titans end up getting interesting later. 1232 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 1: But there I'm just saying, we've given the Jaguars and 1233 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 1: we're all kicking ourselves for it. Maybe a long leash, 1234 01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 1: and the Titans this identity and regime they're under their 1235 01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 1: months into it. They're also playing with a formula where 1236 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 1: they're constantly has to play catchup when they want to 1237 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,080 Speaker 1: run the ball, and that's all they want to do 1238 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: is run the ball. Do they lack you? Down field? Element? 1239 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 1: Right is so desperately do they lack it? They'd never 1240 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,800 Speaker 1: go down The Jayson Morrow Jets wash out was their 1241 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,280 Speaker 1: leading receivers. That's why every catch tested because defenses know 1242 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 1: that they don't have to play more than fifteen yards back. 1243 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Mariotte has been a little a little lost 1244 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,640 Speaker 1: for three games. Do the Raiders get any credit for this? 1245 01:00:58,120 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they don't have a good defense. I don't 1246 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 1: want to of them credit because the Titans are in 1247 01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 1: apt in passing game? How did Derek Car look? The 1248 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: Raiders have done a nice job managing the schedule here 1249 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:10,360 Speaker 1: with two wins to gave up ten points, though, I mean, 1250 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 1: I know Tennessee has problems, but this would be qualified 1251 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,919 Speaker 1: for the defense. A very chintzy offensive pass interference called 1252 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,760 Speaker 1: negated the game tying touchdown from mon J Johnson, and 1253 01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 1: then the next play I think it was Harry Douglass 1254 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,360 Speaker 1: clearly got interfered with the guy held his arm down 1255 01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 1: so he couldn't jump, and there was no cold whatsoever. 1256 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 1: This could easily have been a tie game or a 1257 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,480 Speaker 1: Titans win if the play, If the referee was a 1258 01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 1: little bit more fair in that end of game situation, 1259 01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,040 Speaker 1: Derek Carr deserves credit. He is incredibly elusive in the 1260 01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 1: pocket and hard to sack. He's been sacked I think 1261 01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,920 Speaker 1: twice all year. He was sacked once today. There was 1262 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 1: one really cool play where he escaped pressure, ran around 1263 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,200 Speaker 1: for a while and found Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper. 1264 01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: He's one of the most fun players to watch in 1265 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,120 Speaker 1: the and I like I like crab Tree. Crab Tree 1266 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,320 Speaker 1: has wins them a game every once in a while, 1267 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 1: and just reading some of the reports in this game, 1268 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: it sounds like this is one of those games. He 1269 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 1: seems like their number one red zone target too. He 1270 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 1: seems to really like crab treat in short spaces near 1271 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,440 Speaker 1: the end. Yeah, I think he likes Crabtree on contested catches. 1272 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 1: Reminder that Tuesday, we will you know, take a look, 1273 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 1: perhaps choose the team of a t L or perhaps 1274 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 1: not choose the team. But that's all gonna come to 1275 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,280 Speaker 1: a head this week as we try to answer to that. 1276 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 1: But we can let that drama unfold as you wish 1277 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: one if you wanted to see good tease, Mark, I 1278 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,160 Speaker 1: like that one thing to look forward with the Raiders defense, uh, 1279 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 1: two rookies entered the starting lineup, Karl Joseph and Corey James. 1280 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,840 Speaker 1: Karl Joseph as strong safety, Corey Jones Corey James a 1281 01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,439 Speaker 1: middle linebacker, and they had the two too highest tackle 1282 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:46,080 Speaker 1: totals on the team. There you go, Moving on Wounded 1283 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,480 Speaker 1: Animal game, guys, Baltimore Ravens, Well, there's a lot of them. 1284 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean Week two is the big Why didn't we 1285 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 1: point out healthy animal game? Like the Jaguars just whimpered, 1286 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,400 Speaker 1: do you want do you want a healthy animal? I mean, yeah, 1287 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,560 Speaker 1: give me a healthy animal. There's just the Ravens animals 1288 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,920 Speaker 1: just dragged around the field all over the place, Dan 1289 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: animals on Budsman, the bunch of carcasses. The Ravens entered 1290 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 1: UH Sunday's game at Jacksonville at two and oh and 1291 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Uh they needed to get by the Jaguars who are 1292 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,200 Speaker 1: desperate at o and two and who they lean on? 1293 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 1: You know, just the guy, just a humble kicker named 1294 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker, who hit UH four field goals, including a 1295 01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 1: fifty four yarder to put the Ravens ahead. Nineteen seventeen. 1296 01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 1: The Jaguars had one last chance with the maddening Blake 1297 01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,800 Speaker 1: Bortles at the controls, but their desperation drive at the 1298 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 1: end ended like this. Portals takes the snap pumps once 1299 01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 1: grows down the seam and it is intercepted. Zach Or 1300 01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,480 Speaker 1: has it at the forty. He slides down and the 1301 01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:52,720 Speaker 1: hairs in the barn second left and the Ravens fans 1302 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:56,840 Speaker 1: are Soonville the classic Baltimore phrase Hayes in the barn 1303 01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 1: w Batimore, Jerry Sandusky with the call. They so not 1304 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 1: that Jerry Sandusky. So like the Ravens are now three 1305 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,280 Speaker 1: and oh and the Jaguars cannot find a way. The 1306 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,480 Speaker 1: Jaguars we talked were talked up, are to me dead 1307 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 1: at oh and three. I think if you look at 1308 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 1: the history, how how oh and three teams shake out, 1309 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,520 Speaker 1: They're in deep, deep trouble now. And my big takeaway 1310 01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 1: from the game another another slow start for Blake Bortles, 1311 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,240 Speaker 1: who uh could not move the offense at all early on, 1312 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,360 Speaker 1: did get it going a little bit in the middle 1313 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 1: portion of the game, uh two touchdowns to Allen Robinson 1314 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 1: where where Bordles looked a lot better. But at the 1315 01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:37,160 Speaker 1: end of the game, again you know, they were unable 1316 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 1: to take advantage of some good field position. And then 1317 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 1: after the Tucker field goal, they had an opportunity and 1318 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 1: and Bordles took a terrible, terrible sack uh that when 1319 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 1: he could have easily thrown the ball away and saved 1320 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,320 Speaker 1: their last time out and given them a shot, he 1321 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 1: took a big sap for a big loss and lost 1322 01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,280 Speaker 1: their time out. And then the interception soon followed, So 1323 01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,880 Speaker 1: Bordles continues to be a work in progress. He's not 1324 01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,400 Speaker 1: close to a finished product at this point. At least 1325 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars have to hope. But for a team with 1326 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,440 Speaker 1: this much greg tallon on both sides of the ball, 1327 01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 1: they're owing three and looking again at irrelevance by Halloween. 1328 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: And they head to London this week to play the 1329 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 1: Colts and in a game that has not been kind 1330 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 1: to coaches leaving London. Wait, what are you saying. I'm 1331 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,960 Speaker 1: not saying anything bust win or go home. I hope not. 1332 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,600 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see the Jaguars as that type 1333 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:30,360 Speaker 1: of that happening. I don't. I'm no route for guys 1334 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: to get fired after four weeks. I don't think it 1335 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 1: helps in particular especially all right, let's look, and this 1336 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,160 Speaker 1: is a team that should be good on offense. I 1337 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: know they spent a lot of money on defense, but 1338 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 1: you kind of figured this is a young offensive team. 1339 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Eighteen carries for thirty one yards between Yelled and Ivory, 1340 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,680 Speaker 1: and then in the passing game not a single catch 1341 01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: over twenty yards. That's supposed to be a big play offense. 1342 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 1: So that's two straight weeks where the Jaguars offense no showed. 1343 01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,600 Speaker 1: That is what stood out for me, because what we 1344 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 1: liked about Jacksonville's attack last season and also in the preseason, 1345 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: especially when Chris Ivory was healthy, the running game number 1346 01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: one set up did made you have to respect the 1347 01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,480 Speaker 1: run game. And then suddenly these big plays are happening 1348 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 1: downfield with Hearns and Robinson. It's going away and Chris 1349 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 1: Ivory obviously is not. Whatever was going on with Chris Ivory? 1350 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 1: Did you look healthy Dan today? How do you come 1351 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 1: out of the game with twelve carries for fourteen yards 1352 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 1: after Cleveland, a team that everyone considers a talent moribund franchise, 1353 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,439 Speaker 1: lashed them last week. They destroyed them on the ground. Yeah, 1354 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I I would have to 1355 01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,440 Speaker 1: say I didn't watch him all that closely, but the 1356 01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,640 Speaker 1: carries that I do recall, especially his first few carries 1357 01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:43,440 Speaker 1: when they were trying to get him involved, you couldn't 1358 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,320 Speaker 1: move the ball um, So yeah, I mean, I don't 1359 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 1: know where Ivy is that physically, we still don't even 1360 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:49,880 Speaker 1: know what was wrong with him, so it's kind of 1361 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:51,560 Speaker 1: a hard thing to figure and and what a job 1362 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 1: by the Ravens who haven't. Now that's what three straight 1363 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 1: weeks they've been in one score games. They've found a 1364 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,760 Speaker 1: way to win. And know it's kind of the Ravens 1365 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 1: are feeling things when now after the game, Steve Smith 1366 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 1: goes eight for eighty seven and he's ripping Jalen Ramsey saying, 1367 01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey said he didn't respect him as a man, 1368 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:15,360 Speaker 1: and Steve Steve Smith's going on social media. You know 1369 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 1: this is raven c Well, is it necessary for Steve 1370 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 1: Smith to say that either it's not just calm down? 1371 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 1: He said, Steve, I've got cleats with stronger thread than youth, 1372 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 1: that's I mean. And Ramsey likes to tout his own 1373 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 1: horn a little bit. Yes, he's throwing that against Aaron 1374 01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,840 Speaker 1: Rodgers too. Steve Smith can add him to Fred Smoot, 1375 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,120 Speaker 1: who he pulled the rowboat touchdown dance on. I keep 1376 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,040 Speaker 1: to leave ice up son Genera's Jenkins that you're no 1377 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 1: prime time dance. And now Jalen Ramsey, I've got more 1378 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 1: threat in my cleats than Mark. Yeah, I feel like 1379 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 1: you would like that respect your elders. I do respect 1380 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,600 Speaker 1: my elders. Uh, you know I've been wanting Dan and 1381 01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,960 Speaker 1: I did do that with with you for a while. Well, 1382 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,360 Speaker 1: it's sometimes you just recognize that it's a lost cause. 1383 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 1: Well you know, so, yeah, a bad loss for for 1384 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,520 Speaker 1: the Jags, And uh, what can I say? The very 1385 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,240 Speaker 1: reason I thought the Ravens would be better this year 1386 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:12,000 Speaker 1: is because healthy Flacco, who makes plays almost a lead. 1387 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 1: I think you could even argue he's elite. I don't 1388 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 1: want to go down in the road right now. Uh yeah, 1389 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,960 Speaker 1: not perfect. But he also had a stretch where he 1390 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,000 Speaker 1: had twenty one straight completions. I think the elite Flacco 1391 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,439 Speaker 1: discussion is for other shows. Yeah, that it probably is. 1392 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,040 Speaker 1: But he had twenty one straight completions, which was a 1393 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 1: Baltimore record, and then had number twenty two dropped one 1394 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,720 Speaker 1: in the bucket for Mike Wallace for a touchdown that 1395 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 1: went right through his hands. So maybe the numbers are 1396 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,439 Speaker 1: a little misleading as well. But between having Joe Flacco, 1397 01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,559 Speaker 1: a great coaching staff, and a great kicker and Justin Tucker, 1398 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna win games. They're gonna win close games. Seems 1399 01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,040 Speaker 1: to win more games than any kicker in the lead. Well, 1400 01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:48,679 Speaker 1: and after he hit this one, he's just walking around 1401 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,760 Speaker 1: the field like this and his arms out. I mean 1402 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,880 Speaker 1: the guy's you know, he's loving it. If a game, though, 1403 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:56,320 Speaker 1: is led by the kicking star, it's always going to 1404 01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:57,880 Speaker 1: be at the back end of the show. Yeah, that's 1405 01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 1: just the way it works. Justin Tucker is a tweet 1406 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,839 Speaker 1: this out. He's the NFL kicker version of Erne McCracken 1407 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 1: from Kingpin. Very high on himself, doesn't care if other 1408 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 1: people don't like him because he knows he's the best. Finally, 1409 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams break out the Rams and get 1410 01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:17,599 Speaker 1: that extension signed. Jeff Fisher signed the blanket extension quick 1411 01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 1: Case Kingdom and Todd Gurley each had two touchdowns, and 1412 01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,559 Speaker 1: the l A Rams broke out of their season long 1413 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,760 Speaker 1: offensive slump a thirty seven to thirty two road win 1414 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,800 Speaker 1: over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Greg number one, what's going 1415 01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 1: on with your team of a t L nominee at 1416 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,800 Speaker 1: number two? Thirty seven points for the Rams. Huh Yeah, 1417 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm not giving him wrong team to play that song for. 1418 01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,719 Speaker 1: You're not giving up? No, I don't care. I'm gonna 1419 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,120 Speaker 1: root for him. I think they're gonna be good in 1420 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 1: the long run. There they still they are still things 1421 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,719 Speaker 1: that I'm excited about. But their defense was a problem. 1422 01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 1: Their game management was a problem. They lost. They were 1423 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,040 Speaker 1: the better team in this game. Four seventy yards of 1424 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:04,599 Speaker 1: offense they lost. They lost eight points, two extra points 1425 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 1: and then missed two point conversions and miss field goals 1426 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,960 Speaker 1: because Aguayo was killing them and then the key playing 1427 01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,760 Speaker 1: the game. Really, the only offense that the Rams had 1428 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,280 Speaker 1: in the last twenty five minutes was a sack fumble 1429 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,639 Speaker 1: that bounced up and they returned it seventy five yards 1430 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:23,599 Speaker 1: with Ethan Westbrooks, a Hard Knocks favorite, probably the career. 1431 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:29,799 Speaker 1: They win the game. I'm I'm rooting for Roberto Aguayo, 1432 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,400 Speaker 1: but second round. But this is why you don't draft 1433 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,320 Speaker 1: a kicker in the second round, because now you might 1434 01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 1: have to carry an extra kicker on your roster because 1435 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,799 Speaker 1: you can't trust the one you just invested so heavily 1436 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:45,600 Speaker 1: that the missed extra point in the field goals that 1437 01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,240 Speaker 1: they were chasing that throughout the game. I also think 1438 01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 1: Dirk Cotters made some very curious decisions the last week, 1439 01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 1: last two weeks, and his lack of time out called 1440 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 1: at the end of this game was absolutely insane. They 1441 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,320 Speaker 1: ended up running the clock ended with the Bucks in 1442 01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,839 Speaker 1: the red zone, still with two time outs in their pocket, 1443 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 1: and they burned twenty seconds on just a few plays 1444 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:10,800 Speaker 1: before that when Charles Sims didn't go out of bound. 1445 01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 1: It was it was absolutely crazy. But give do give 1446 01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 1: some credit to the Rams, I mean the first place. 1447 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:21,320 Speaker 1: Ms well, how about so and we talked about Girly 1448 01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,880 Speaker 1: being so ham strung in that offense with the way 1449 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,000 Speaker 1: they were set up over the first two weeks. I'm 1450 01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,519 Speaker 1: looking at it. I see eighty five yards three point 1451 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,720 Speaker 1: one average. I don't know, I mean, are we is 1452 01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 1: there more? Hope here had a good second half, he 1453 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 1: was The average was much lower than that in the 1454 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,599 Speaker 1: first half, and they did run the ball a little 1455 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 1: bit in the second half, ran it pretty well. This was, 1456 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,599 Speaker 1: you know, a Bucks team without Robert Airs, without Doug Martin. Um, 1457 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,760 Speaker 1: Girly looked better. He looked a little better. You were 1458 01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,720 Speaker 1: very uh you were sending praise towards Robert Quinn during 1459 01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:56,759 Speaker 1: the game. I think Robert Quinn makes this defense totally different. 1460 01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 1: Because Ogiltree is playing well, He's always in the mix 1461 01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:02,920 Speaker 1: of getting, you know, penalties for playing too aggressively. But 1462 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,640 Speaker 1: Robert Quinn suddenly you have not just Aaron Donald, the 1463 01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:07,840 Speaker 1: best defensive tackler, one of them in the league. Now 1464 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 1: you have a guy in Robert Quinn who's a defensive 1465 01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:11,880 Speaker 1: Player of the Year type of player, and he looks 1466 01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,840 Speaker 1: really good. The last couple of games, he made the 1467 01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 1: key couple of players in this game to win it. 1468 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 1: By the way, Ethan Westbrooks is, that's his official sound 1469 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 1: drop anytime he comes up on this podcast. He is 1470 01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 1: the guy from a Hard Knocks that had the tattoo 1471 01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:29,040 Speaker 1: on his face and that insane drill instructor defensive line 1472 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 1: coach wadded up a ball paper and threw it in 1473 01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 1: his face, uh in a fit of rage at one 1474 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:36,880 Speaker 1: point in the most forgettable season of Hard Knocks. Awesome 1475 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 1: human history, little trivel trivia on Ethan Westbrooks. Also the 1476 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:44,760 Speaker 1: guy when draft they were like, I don't think we 1477 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,800 Speaker 1: can keep Sam on the roster. We're gonna cut him 1478 01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 1: because this guy, Ethan Westbrooks beat him out. What a 1479 01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,639 Speaker 1: rich history. I mean, you know, my one, my one thing, Greg, 1480 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,559 Speaker 1: because I think you're conceit that their offense here and there, 1481 01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,400 Speaker 1: and you know Doug, you didn't have Doug Martin on 1482 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,920 Speaker 1: the field today, that their offense is is interesting to watch. 1483 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 1: I'll give you that. My problem is they've given up 1484 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 1: seventy seven points in two weeks and you just went 1485 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,360 Speaker 1: on a three minute diet tribe about massive coaching decision blunders. 1486 01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,880 Speaker 1: Those things hopefully can be overcome. Well, a lot of 1487 01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,799 Speaker 1: sandwiches time in what you call the most exciting division 1488 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,840 Speaker 1: of football. So there's a lot to wade through here. 1489 01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:24,000 Speaker 1: Five yards for the Winston spoiler alert, the Buccaneers will 1490 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,479 Speaker 1: not be the team of the never. They never had 1491 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 1: a chance. For those of you alive two weeks ago 1492 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,360 Speaker 1: listening to this, that's still a spoiler theme of Greg 1493 01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: tl Um. Got a lot of splintering here. Anyway, that's 1494 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,799 Speaker 1: it for the games. We move on now to Sunday 1495 01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 1: Night Football. Sunday Night. Yes you heard Carrie. That means 1496 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,840 Speaker 1: it's time to talk about the primetime game played in 1497 01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,120 Speaker 1: front of Al Chris and the world. The Dallas Cowboys 1498 01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:59,479 Speaker 1: in Jerald World haven't won there since Week one of Sunday. 1499 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,160 Speaker 1: Let's down her? Yeah? Is it me? Or is Carrie 1500 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 1: kind of like Sunday Night? You know, she doesn't sound 1501 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,800 Speaker 1: that excited for this game. Bears were involved. I mean, 1502 01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 1: how the Bears we're talking about the Bears in a 1503 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,400 Speaker 1: primetime game for the second time in six days or 1504 01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:17,719 Speaker 1: five days my own come on, get it together, society. Anyway, 1505 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:19,840 Speaker 1: the Bears were no match for the Dallas Cowboys, who 1506 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,760 Speaker 1: looked like the better team, played like the better team, 1507 01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,280 Speaker 1: and in the end, the final score told us the 1508 01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:27,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys were the better team, thirty one to seventeen. Put 1509 01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,200 Speaker 1: it in the books. The Cowboys win, they moved to 1510 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:34,000 Speaker 1: two and one. The Bears, Uh, in a wounded animal 1511 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,679 Speaker 1: game fall to oh and three? You know that means 1512 01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 1: mark oh and three? What is mean? Next week? Starving 1513 01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:47,960 Speaker 1: dog game? You're anti take on animals and pets in general. 1514 01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,960 Speaker 1: But I don't understand why are you reading into it 1515 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,960 Speaker 1: like I'm against animals. It's a thing that wouldn't a 1516 01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,320 Speaker 1: wound I would rather be a starving dog than being 1517 01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:01,240 Speaker 1: a wounded animal. Typical Patriots fantasy. It's is it when 1518 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,160 Speaker 1: it's it better to be oh and three? And it's 1519 01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 1: the rib cage is showing. It's a very sad thing. 1520 01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,680 Speaker 1: Uh when once you become the starving dog. But right now, 1521 01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Dallas Cowboys who got a big 1522 01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 1: game out of Ezekiel Elliott, who looked every bit like 1523 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the running back that they drafted UH so high UH 1524 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:22,280 Speaker 1: this spring. He ran the ball thirty times for a 1525 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,240 Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards. UH didn't find the end zone, 1526 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:27,400 Speaker 1: but still that is what they were looking for. Added 1527 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,679 Speaker 1: two catches for twenty yards, so a hundred and sixty 1528 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,800 Speaker 1: yards in offense from Elliott. Dak Prescott again look tremendous 1529 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:38,680 Speaker 1: nineteen and his first career touchdown that went to Yes. 1530 01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,639 Speaker 1: A perfect night for the Dallas Cowboys. Dez Bryant, who 1531 01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,280 Speaker 1: overcame an early scare in the first quarter with a 1532 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 1: knee issue and UH had a presence in this game, 1533 01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:49,640 Speaker 1: including his first touch on of the season. So the 1534 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys are now two and one, which puts the one 1535 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:57,439 Speaker 1: game behind the Philadelphia Eagles and Chris Westling. Uh. Forget 1536 01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,760 Speaker 1: about the Bears boring the Cowboys. What do you see today? 1537 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,160 Speaker 1: Do you like what you saw? I liked what I saw, 1538 01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 1: and I like we should have had the periscope running 1539 01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:11,720 Speaker 1: when Ezekiel Elliott hurdled defender and caused Mark Sessler to 1540 01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 1: raise his level of interest in the game by about 1541 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 1: yelling profanities at the screen in our studio, I thought 1542 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 1: it was just you know, Elliott over the first two 1543 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,439 Speaker 1: weeks been a little up and down. The whole offense 1544 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 1: has been a little up and down, but they've had 1545 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:33,680 Speaker 1: their moments. Elliott tonight, in what great contrast the Chicago's 1546 01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,759 Speaker 1: rushing game and their complete low wattage lack of exciting 1547 01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:40,960 Speaker 1: running backs, Elliott performed. This game was about him, and 1548 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,519 Speaker 1: they smothered the Bears tonight, And to me, it showed 1549 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are good enough team that they take 1550 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 1: care of business. They beat a team that they should be, 1551 01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 1: which is I don't think we should take that for granted. 1552 01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:56,120 Speaker 1: When it comes to this Cowboys team, who doesn't really 1553 01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,599 Speaker 1: have a defense, who has a fourth round rookie starting 1554 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:02,519 Speaker 1: at quarterback each and every week, Dak Prescott looks like 1555 01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,600 Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback. In the last two games alone, there 1556 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 1: eight scoring drives, all went for over seventy two yards. 1557 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:13,680 Speaker 1: So this is a team that's dictating, especially in the 1558 01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:16,479 Speaker 1: first quarter. He's the anti Blake Bordles, and the Cowboys 1559 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,120 Speaker 1: are the anti Jaguars. When the game starts, they do 1560 01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:20,720 Speaker 1: what they want to do for a quarter and they 1561 01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,640 Speaker 1: set the tempo. And what a relief it must be 1562 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:26,519 Speaker 1: for Jerry Jones, uh, for Jason Garrett, for every Cowboy 1563 01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,439 Speaker 1: fan watching that, for Tony rom wanna get hurt and 1564 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,320 Speaker 1: then know that the season is not over, to know 1565 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 1: that you're still incapable hands with Dak Prescott, who looks 1566 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,040 Speaker 1: so good, does not look anything like a late round 1567 01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 1: uh A quarterback, a guy that that can carry this 1568 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,840 Speaker 1: team or help carry this team all the way till 1569 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 1: Tony Robo gets back and I Tony Romo was not 1570 01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:49,680 Speaker 1: right or if he goes down again, they're okay. It's 1571 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:53,080 Speaker 1: interesting Greg pointed out that Dak Prescott's and Carson wentz 1572 01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 1: His passing stats are almost identical. Wentz has the five touchdowns, 1573 01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 1: Prescott has two rushing touchdowns to go with his one 1574 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 1: or but otherwise their numbers look great. I think Cowboys 1575 01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,000 Speaker 1: fans have to be thrilled with the guy they ended 1576 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,519 Speaker 1: up drafting when they couldn't get uh Paxton, Lynch and Conn. 1577 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,720 Speaker 1: They got the forty nine ers next week, and that's 1578 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,320 Speaker 1: a game that you want to win if you're the Cowboys, 1579 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 1: and then suddenly you're three and one. The schedule gets 1580 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 1: a little harder after that. But when you're thinking about 1581 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,680 Speaker 1: Prescott and Romo, it's like you want to get to 1582 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 1: five and five or six and four, and it's it's 1583 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,680 Speaker 1: not like this offense looks not much worse than you 1584 01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 1: would have expected it to be on a roma. It's 1585 01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:30,599 Speaker 1: a little more limited and they should have some defensive 1586 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 1: players coming back after week four two. Well, right, this 1587 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,720 Speaker 1: was where they wanted to get to without being in 1588 01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,559 Speaker 1: sort of a disaster zone, and it's been the opposite. 1589 01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 1: There's a ton of hope in Dallas. You've got what 1590 01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,880 Speaker 1: could be, you know, the makings of your new triplets 1591 01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,040 Speaker 1: that you know Cowboys fans still look back to the 1592 01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 1: nineties and wonder when they'll ever win a Super Bowl again, 1593 01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:52,360 Speaker 1: be a regular playoff type team, and the idea that 1594 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,680 Speaker 1: would happen last year with Romo out, it's not just 1595 01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:56,840 Speaker 1: you have someone to take you to Romo's return. We 1596 01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:58,719 Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with Romo and another 1597 01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,639 Speaker 1: enough hot takes with that, but you've got a quarterback 1598 01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,080 Speaker 1: for the long term to to continue to grow behind Romo. 1599 01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:06,559 Speaker 1: If you wanted to bring him back for a couple 1600 01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,479 Speaker 1: more years, your triplets or Dak Prescott, Zeel Elliott and 1601 01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:12,840 Speaker 1: Cool Beasley, no, I would say they're obviously, does Brian 1602 01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:18,000 Speaker 1: Briana play? Does Brian Well? That is one fascinating part 1603 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,080 Speaker 1: of this offense because there continues to be a ton 1604 01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:22,920 Speaker 1: of players targeted and Elliott and Dees is not the 1605 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 1: guy coming out, you know, stat line wise with the 1606 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,439 Speaker 1: numbers each week and u NFL schedule makers come back 1607 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:32,320 Speaker 1: to us, I mean, they're back in primetime. The Bears 1608 01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,800 Speaker 1: are back in prime time week seven and eight. They 1609 01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,439 Speaker 1: are the worst team in the league, and they are 1610 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,840 Speaker 1: less watchable than some of the other bad teams like 1611 01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 1: say the Browns, who I think are entertaining, or even 1612 01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:46,040 Speaker 1: the forty Niners, who are so crazy that you can 1613 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,080 Speaker 1: watch them. The Bears of the work. The Browns are 1614 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 1: the first team you could think of I mean about 1615 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,560 Speaker 1: an actual, real contendation. No, I'm just saying into this 1616 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:57,920 Speaker 1: I've seen among bad teams, they're even particularly unwatchable. My 1617 01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,320 Speaker 1: point is, going into the season the Bears, there was 1618 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,400 Speaker 1: no excitement around this team anyway. I don't understand how 1619 01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,559 Speaker 1: they got there. I don't know what they were thinking 1620 01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:08,160 Speaker 1: back in you know, the early spring, when they're creating 1621 01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 1: these schedules that Chicago made sense for America and football 1622 01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 1: fans as four primetime games. Because you go back to 1623 01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:21,599 Speaker 1: anything under John Chicago was laying unwatchable eggs last year, 1624 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:24,680 Speaker 1: So what happened between then and now that suggests them 1625 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:29,560 Speaker 1: as primetimes. You would think that oppressions would be a 1626 01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,640 Speaker 1: quality you would want, and a schedule maker, yes, that 1627 01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:37,200 Speaker 1: they need to be. Okay, we went on on a 1628 01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:41,200 Speaker 1: on a low note. It's I am not watching those games. 1629 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if if I'm assigned to any task, 1630 01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:45,840 Speaker 1: the task will not get done. Join me and walking 1631 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 1: down watching the boulevard and straight into the Pacific. I'm 1632 01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:52,519 Speaker 1: with you. That's it, um for all the Sunday games. 1633 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:57,519 Speaker 1: We will be back on on on Tuesday, another round 1634 01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:01,720 Speaker 1: of podcast. Good good show guys. Everybody. Remember, um, you 1635 01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 1: can still check us out on periscope if you follow 1636 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,000 Speaker 1: there's like a link that we'll send out from the 1637 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,160 Speaker 1: around the NFL account and you could check it out 1638 01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 1: and uh going forward next week.
