1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: If JSN is in top five, I don't know what

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: top five looks like. Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast,

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: And what an incredible week of early games in the

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: National Football League. The Seattle Seahawks going to Jacksonville the

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: four and one Jacksonville Jaguars and pull out a win.

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: They didn't turn the ball over against a very very

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: good Jacksonville Jaguars defense. On the opposite side, Sam Donald,

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, what else can you say about Sam Donald?

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: He's played an incredible, efficient game, very accurate. He was

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: sixteen of twenty five or sixteen of twenty seven for

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: two ninety five. He had an incredible touchdown to JFN

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: sixty one yards, incredibly accurate. Their connection is one of

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: the best in the National Football League. If JSN is

14
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: in top five, I don't know what top five looks like.

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: Because he's the go to guy. He's the number one

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: receiver of the number one rest on every play and

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: he's getting the ball and he's eating wide open most

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: of these plays. You got to give Click Kubiak a

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: lot of credit for all he's been able to do

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: with this offense. All he's been able to do creating

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: opportunities for j CN creating routes. But then give credit

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: to j c N because he ran some really good

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: routes in his game. One on one coverage, just getting

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: open Sam Darnold, accurate with the passes, and my guy

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: aj Barner late in the game sixty one yard catching

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: run to to really steal this game for him. We

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: will talk about the leverage play on the field goal

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: that that gave them the first down that really really

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: closed out the game. But this defense for the Seattle

30
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks is incredible. Missing three Pro Bowl starters in the secondary,

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Mitchell uh Devin Witherspoon, Tarik Woolin, and of course my

32
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: guy Julian Love, and they had it was it was,

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: it was. It was very iffy early on. There were

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: there were miscommunitys. Jacksonville was moving the ball down the field.

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: You could see the mistakes leading to explosive plays by

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas. Just simple adjustment, simple bad eyes or bad communications.

37
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 1: That's what you expect from a secondary that's missing three

38
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl players. And you get into the second drive

39
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: after the touchdown drive, touchdown throw to Brian Thomas on

40
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: fake screen and go. They made the necessary adjustments. What

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: I would assume they did is simplify the defense down.

42
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: You can't run as many crazy disguises and coverages and

43
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: invert twos and run this guy here, run this guy here.

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: Just keep it simple, guys, just talk it through enough

45
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: veteran players back there to get it done. And then

46
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: the D line got hot. The D line got hot.

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: All the conversation about Byron Murphy, he's a bus why

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: do we take him that? I hope you're not having

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: that conversation anymore. In year two. He's thriving. They have

50
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: incredible depth on this defensive line. He had two sacks,

51
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence doing what he's done his entire career, being

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: a game record two and a half sacks. Leonard Williams

53
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: got in on a half a sack, and o Chenney

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: Nuosu got in on a sack, and it just looked

55
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 1: really dominant. From all fastest of the game. You could

56
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: see Trevor Lewins. He had some success receivers, dropped some passes,

57
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: no question about it. But there was the disguises. He

58
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: was holding the ball for a long time and the

59
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: defense was closing. Just a beautiful game, a complete game

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: by the Seattle Seahawks against the against a defense that's

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: been taking the ball from every single team that they

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: played for them, not to get a turnover in this

63
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: game was huge, Mitchell Richard.

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: They looked dominant in certain facets of the game, and

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: you already hit on itsnon Jackson Smith and Jigba holy

66
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: Cow would a fine for them. We talked about it

67
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: last week. It's obvious now why they moved away from

68
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf jsends their number one option. He becomes with

69
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: six hundred and sixty nine and the six hundred and

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: ninety six total yards in the first six games, most

71
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: yards for first six games in franchise history. Jsm Man.

72
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: I mean, anytime it seems like a play was breaking

73
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: down or they needed a big game, it was going

74
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: to him. You gotta love the connection with him and

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold Richard. Is it safe to say this Seattle

76
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: Seahawks team is the best team since you're playing days

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: with Seattle.

78
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say that. I could say that, but

79
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: you gotta see more. You know, it's only been six games,

80
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: so we don't want to start saying what's greatest and

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: what's you know, when when other teams have complete seasons

82
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: and this team doesn't. You never know what could happen.

83
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: But the depth on this defensive line is really reminiscent

84
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: of the year we won the Super Bowl because when

85
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: they rotate out, they still have guys who could have

86
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: been starters, and they're a little banged up right now,

87
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: but every you never know when the starters come out

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: of the game because the next the next wave is

89
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: just as lethal as the way that left. And to

90
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: be able to play a team that's four and one

91
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: on the road all the way across the country, corner

92
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: to corner on the on the map, and have three

93
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: of your starters in the secondary out of the game

94
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: and still pull off a win is incredible. It's a

95
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: testament to everything Mike McDonald has preached in this on

96
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: this defense. Uh, you look at Ernest Jones continuing to

97
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: steady the ship, really incredible plays throughout the game, just

98
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: being physical, being where he's supposed to be. On the

99
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: two point conversion, he come, he comes off a blot,

100
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: makes the stop and then everybody else rallies to the ball.

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: You can just feel the energy from this defense and

102
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: from this team. They're feeding on each other and it's

103
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: been incredible. Uh, this is a game again. I think

104
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: aj Barner needs to be involved more. I think he

105
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: can be one of the best tight ends and one

106
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: of the best weapons in the National Football League if

107
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: you find him, if you use him. There was only

108
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: sixteen completions twenty seven passes thrown in this game. They

109
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: tried to get K nine and Sharpenay going uh had

110
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: ten k for I think thirty four yards and Charbonnay

111
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: had twelve for twenty four. It's just that the lanes

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: aren't there, and Jacksonville has been really good against the run.

113
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: But you gotta find a way to get those guys going.

114
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: You gotta figure out which one you really want to

115
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: go with, because I think that's part of the problem

116
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: with the run game is nobody's getting enough reps to

117
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: really get in the rhythm and to find themselves and

118
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: find their rhythm. Ten carries the entire game for K

119
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: nine just isn't enough. And even the twelve carries for

120
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Charmoney isn't enough. And there was a sequence in there

121
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: where they were inside the ten. I think Charbonnay got

122
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: to carry six yards of the first play, then he

123
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: gets maybe a yard or stop for no game on

124
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: the next play, and then they run him again for

125
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: minus two. I thought that was a head scratching series

126
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: of events, especially the way Jasn and Sam Darnold had

127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: been playing. Like you said, js CN is on record pace,

128
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: franchise record pace, and you got to find a way

129
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: to give him at least one opportunity down there. You

130
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: know he's backside one on one. I don't care if

131
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: it's a Colorado, a slint in back out, or are

132
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: out and back in, or just a normal fate. You

133
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to put the ball up, give your

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: playmaker a chance, honestly, your best offensive weapon a chance

135
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: in the end zone to make a play. And I

136
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: thought that was a missed opportunity, but it didn't end

137
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: up costing him in this game. Cooper Cupp gets his

138
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: first touchdown reception as the Seattle Seahawks. They attack the

139
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: safety Jordan Lewis, well safety nickel Jordan Lewis on the play,

140
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: and he just did what he does. He just did

141
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: what he does, and he did this throughout the game.

142
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: He had another catch on what looked like to be

143
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: a hot read or maybe a scene a nice catch

144
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: and run by him, and it's great to see him

145
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: getting more involved in this offense, you would hope that

146
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: they find him with more opportunities. But again, a huge

147
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: win for the Seattle. Seahawks haven't had the greatest record

148
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: at home, but on the road they'd.

149
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: Had LOULI can't seem to look what gives with that, Richard,

150
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: Because during your playing days the twelves you you guys

151
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: could not lose at home if you tried, And now

152
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: it seems like you can't win as much. Three and

153
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: zero on the road and one and two at home.

154
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: What gives with this home field advantage in Seattle?

155
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a number of things. I mean,

156
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: it's they used to think that it was just as

157
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: simple as man, the fans are loud, so the other

158
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: team is gonna lose like it. It's a lot more

159
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: complicated than that, because on the defensive side of the ball,

160
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: when the fans are that loud, you don't have the

161
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: same communication as you would on the road. On the

162
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: road is quiet, their offense is on the field, I

163
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: can communicate very well. We can get our checks, we

164
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: can get our adjustments, we can clearly know what's going on,

165
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: see each other, Hey check this alert this bang d

166
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: line's talking perfect at home, you have to have a

167
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: different kind of chemistry, a different kind of understanding of

168
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: each other. No, A, it's just hand signals, it's body language,

169
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: it's winks, nods, and you get down to play it.

170
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: And so I think it's gonna take a second, especially

171
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: in the secondary with the guys being in and out

172
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: of the lineup. You talk about Nick m and Warry

173
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: being back in the lineup, he was injured for a

174
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: couple of games, Devin Witherspoon in and out of the

175
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: lineup so far, to Wreak wool An in and out

176
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: of the lineup, and so Kobe Bryant has been back

177
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: there consistently. But when you have that many injuries, you

178
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: don't have the same kind of chemistry, the same kind

179
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: of connection that you would any other time. So when

180
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: you when you're at home and you can't hear each other,

181
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: uh to to really communicate these calls, you have to

182
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: almost have a great feel for one another and a

183
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: great connection with your your you know, be locked in

184
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: and tied on the string in the back end. And

185
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: they just don't have that yet because they haven't had

186
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: a chance to to really run with the guys that

187
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: their Day one starters very often U this season. I

188
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: think late in the season you're gonna see that change

189
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: when they get their full, full, full uh full defense

190
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: back out there. They're gonna have success. They're gonna be fine.

191
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: But it's really cool to see them be able to

192
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: pack the defense in their run game on the road

193
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: and pack Sam Darnold of JSN and their instant offense

194
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: on the road and come away with these victories. Because

195
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: four and two for the Sea Edle Seahawks is fantastic.

196
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: They could easily be six and oh five and one

197
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: with a few plays here and there. I thought they

198
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: were in both of those games at home. And I

199
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: again people thought I was crazy when I said, hey,

200
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: I got them won in this division and being tied

201
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: with the San Francisco forty nine ers and winning a tiebreak,

202
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: You're not looking that crazy. It was flast Mitchell. Mitchell,

203
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm not that crazy. That might be a little crazy,

204
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: but I'm not that crazy about this football game. This

205
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: football I understand, I know it. I knew what I

206
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: saw when in a training camp, when when I watched

207
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: this team play nick mm and word coming back, starting

208
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: to get it in shape, start get his feel back.

209
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: Still a rookie, had nine tackles in his game, leading

210
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: leading tackler for the Seattle Seahawks. You saw him everywhere

211
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: on the field, whether he's pressure and Sam I mean

212
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, or he was he was playing in coverage,

213
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: one on one coverage against Brian Thomas. He was making

214
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: impactful plays and I think that's only gonna increase as

215
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: he gets more and more comfortable. He's still a rookie,

216
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: but they have huge plans for him, and I look

217
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: forward to see if they got.

218
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: A big test next week Monday night football in Seattle

219
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: that bring Houston Texans into town. Let's see if they

220
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: can get a win on the board at home.

221
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Now, hmm, Mitchell, devastation, Oh, devastation.

222
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: The hat change, Richard, This has to be a tough one.

223
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: I mean, walk me through your emotions here. Early in

224
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: this game, Fred Warner carted off the field with what

225
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: looks like a serious ankle injury. This team just can't

226
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: buy a break, so many injuries. Walk me through your

227
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: emotions right now, Well.

228
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure my emotions are the same as a lot

229
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: of that San Francisco forty nine or Spacefoy it's it's emotional,

230
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: it's sad. It's it's not just sad because you lose

231
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: a great player on the team, but it's sad because

232
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: it's such what Fred Warner has meant to this team,

233
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: his consistency, his toughness. Before today, He's only missed one

234
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: game in his career, if I'm not mistaken. And to

235
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: see that way everybody reacted to the injury was just devastating.

236
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: It's a hard blow. I couldn't imagine in San Francisco

237
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: fort Now, if they would have somehow I'll pulled this

238
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: game out away in Tampa Bay against a really good

239
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, Baker Mayfield playing like an MVP candidate.

240
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: I would have been incredibly surprised. I mean they would

241
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: have been one in my power rankings, because I can't

242
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do with a team that loses

243
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: everyone and still perseveres and makes it through. But of

244
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: course they didn't, and they lose expectedly, so with with

245
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 1: such devastating losses, and it's just a tough blow for

246
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: the team, not just the loss. The loss, I mean

247
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: they're still tied for first in the division. I felt

248
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: like the dolphense played really really solid football outside a

249
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: few stakes. You know, the Poony false start on fourth

250
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: and one where where it looked like they were going

251
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: to try to go for that deep in Tampa's territory. Uh,

252
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: then they had they got pushed back five yards. Just uncharacteristic,

253
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: unnecessary mistakes, unforced errors, and then uh, just overall offensive

254
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: line play late in the game was was disappointing. There's

255
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: clearly some issue going on between Juwan Jennings and Kyle Shanahan.

256
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: I don't know what that exactly is, what those conversations were,

257
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: but there was clearly some frustration throughout the game with him.

258
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: Another huge performance for Kendrick Bourne. Another really solid performance

259
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: for Mac Jones. Obviously wasn't perfect, but kept gave him

260
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: a chance to win, kept them in the ball game.

261
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: Devastating interception again they were they were forced to throw

262
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: that pass because of a false start by Poony that

263
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: pushes him back and they're going for the first down.

264
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: He's going for the big play, and then instead of

265
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: just running a simple QB snake or a run or

266
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: whatever they were gonna run on that play, they have

267
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: to throw for a six yard game. He throws the interception,

268
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: and it's just unnecessary. But I thought the interior offensive

269
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: line was the issue late in the game, and I

270
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: again I knew that would be the Achilles heel for

271
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: this team. But it's not just on the passing plays,

272
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: not just on from the pass protection standpoint, it's ridiculous

273
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: on plays that are set up successfully, plays that are

274
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: set up successfully, you got guys in space. All you

275
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: gotta do is block your guy, block your guy getting

276
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: the way Christian McCaffrey, let him do his work. And

277
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: you can't even do that. And that's where it's starting

278
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: to become devastating to this offense because you can draw

279
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: up the perfect play, but if you have guys that

280
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: are incompetent, unable to get the job done, unable to

281
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: block people, unable to block linebackers, then you can't run

282
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: these plays. Then you should be able to expect your

283
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: center and your guards to be able to get out

284
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: in space and get up on a You know, Levontae

285
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: David is an incredible player, All Pro Pro Bowl, you know,

286
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: big time guy, been playing for a long time and

287
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: got a ton of respect for him. But you should

288
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: be able at least be able to get in his way.

289
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be able to shock shit and tackle Christian

290
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: McCaffrey right right where they were. And I think that's

291
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: happened throughout the season on plays that are drawing up well,

292
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: and we're we're looking at the center, get up on

293
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: guys and just with or or not block at all.

294
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: And and and I know that we're we people looking

295
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: at PFF grades and things like that. And I hate

296
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: to harp on one guy, but it's just it's been

297
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: incredibly debilitating to this offense consistently. And there are plays

298
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: that are drawing up for bigger games that you can't

299
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: get because one guy, you know, throws throw the fly

300
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: in a soup.

301
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

302
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: And that's something they're gonna have to address this offseason,

303
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: no question about it. If they go again, like I

304
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: said last year, they go again with this same lineup,

305
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: they're costing their team and they're they're they're they're leaving

306
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: leaving guys out to dry, uh. And they're wasting Christian McCaffrey.

307
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: He's racing good Christian mccaff for years because he's making

308
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: plays that could go the distance, could be big, bigger games.

309
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: But it's one guy, one guy, one guy every time.

310
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: That's starting to fly in the soup. So that's something

311
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure Kyle Shanahan has addressed and will continue to address.

312
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: They don't have an answer in house right now. Maybe

313
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: they try to address it at the trade deadline, but

314
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: again that's not a position you really brings somebody in

315
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: and change things. But receiver wise, Kendrick Borden played well,

316
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: Jake Tanjas did well, and George Kittle's stead I thought,

317
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: outside of one drop, Robinson played well, made a big

318
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: catch before the half after a huge drop. Hopefully they

319
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: get George Kittle back. Hopefully they get some reinforcements back

320
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball, get a little healthier.

321
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Having heard a lot about Brandon Ayuk a huge, huge

322
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: game from Eddie Panero or a big reason they were

323
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: in this game in the first place. I think he

324
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: made a fifty two yard, fifty four yard or forty

325
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: two yarder. Just has been incredibly stable. I would I

326
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: would imagine he's gonna be up there in Pro Bolvoes

327
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: and All Pro because he's just been perfect so far.

328
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: From San Francisco forty nine ersh and it's an allowed

329
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: it's allowed them to stay in games when when despite

330
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: the injuries, despite the issues offensively, despite the turnovers, uh

331
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: and and give them a chance. I think defensively they

332
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions. Well, I know they were juggling.

333
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: Go ahead, No, the big question here, and we talked

334
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: about it going into this season. It was Juwan Jennings

335
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: time to earn a big contract. And what what's most

336
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: puzzling to me is, Yeah, I know he's banged up,

337
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: he was questionable coming into this game, and I'm sure

338
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: he's frustrated, and especially with seeing a guy like Kendrick

339
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: Bourne just go off back to back weeks, he probably

340
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 2: wants those targets. But what the heck is going through

341
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: his mind when he's getting in Kyle Shannon, Him and

342
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: Kyle Shannon are getting into it after the game. I mean,

343
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: Richard this, I know you have a lot of respect

344
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: for Juwan Jennings. I know you love him as a player,

345
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: But what is going on here?

346
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's going on. I'm

347
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: sure they'll ask Kyl Shanahan about it. I'm sure they'll

348
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: ask Juwan Jenny's about it, and maybe that'll give everybody

349
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: more clarity about what's going on, because I have no

350
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: idea what's going on. Obviously, frustration when you're losing. It's hot,

351
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's a game of inches. It's it's one

352
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: play here or there, one mistake and one play in

353
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: a game like this and you lose by double digits.

354
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's what's frustrating Kyle Shanahan, I

355
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: would assume is mistakes in the game. I don't know

356
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: if it's if it's lack of effort or lack of execution,

357
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: but usually with that kind of response from Kyle Shanahan,

358
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: it's one or the other. It's not just hey, you know,

359
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: he's having a rough game, or he's injured and he's

360
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: not playing full speed or something like that. I don't think.

361
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: I think Kyle has been pretty understandable about guys being

362
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: banged up and just not being able to do the job.

363
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: And so there's frustration clearly on both sides. And it'll

364
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: be asked by a lot of reporters, I'm sure, but defensively, again,

365
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: that's that's that was the issue in this game. Too

366
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: many open players and I know everybody's like Fred Warner

367
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: wasn't here, but but this was in the secondary, too

368
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: much space, not enough. It didn't look like they could

369
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: play men coverage. They played JayR. Brown, they played Mustafa,

370
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: they played Seagull and you saw miss tackles, you saw

371
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: you saw, you saw bad angles. And again, some of

372
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: that is youth. Some of that is you know, just

373
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: growing up and and figuring it out. But some of

374
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: it you can't have and some of you you got

375
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: to get these things corrected. And I think, uh, you

376
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: you lose sight when when you when you talked about

377
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: last year, you talked about guys like like like uh

378
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: Talan Noah Hufunga and get and and guys like that

379
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: who were who were there in the past that played

380
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: at a high level. You don't appreciate the the execution

381
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: and the angles, the little things that they do consistently

382
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: to really mitigate big plays. And I think you're starting

383
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: to see that when a quarterback has time and a

384
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: quarterback as profession proficient as Baker Mayfield has been, he's

385
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: gonna make you pay. He's got twelve tds on the season,

386
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: I think only one interception. An MVP candidate. He played

387
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: fantastic football. Down a ton of weapons, down, Mike Evans, down,

388
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin lost in Mecca Buka during the game to

389
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: a hamstring and still you would have never known, you know,

390
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: Tes Johnson. He pushed the ball down the field to

391
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: Tes Johnson right before the half led to a was

392
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Great catch by Tess Johnson and used a

393
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: number of other receivers to get the job done versus

394
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. And I think you gotta,

395
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: you gotta give him a lot of respect for that,

396
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: but you gotta there's questions there's not enough pressure on

397
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Obviously you lose Nicholas john Bosa, that's gonna

398
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: be a factor, and everybody's like, hey, tray trade, tray trade.

399
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: One person does not change the dynamic of this pass rush.

400
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to find some answers in the house.

401
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to switch it up. And it's not

402
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: oh wait, just blitz blitz blitz. That causes more issues

403
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: sometimes than it solves. So I'm sure they're gonna come

404
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: back together and figure it out. But there was too many,

405
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: too many plays where guys were sitting down in zones,

406
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: running through zone scot free open catching and running and

407
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: it's just not characteristic of San Francisco, Robert Salako's defense,

408
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: and this is one of their this is one of

409
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: the down games they've had this season.

410
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: Well, you talk about Baker Mayfield and you talk about

411
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: the struggles of this defense. I think it was all

412
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 2: embodied in one play. And I think this play tip

413
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: the scales in the Buccaneers favor for the win. And

414
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 2: that was third and fourteen. Baker Mayfield dropped back, scrambles

415
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: out of the pocket, breaks numerous tackles, and stretches out

416
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: his arm to get that first down. And then right

417
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: after that you see the touchdown that breaks this game open.

418
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 2: It was a one point game at that point in time. Richard,

419
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: you gotta clean those things up. But it goes to

420
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: show you how good you got to have that play.

421
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: You got to have that play. If you don't have

422
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: that play, you don't deserve to win. And they didn't

423
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: have that play. It's third and long. You got him

424
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: in the backfield, he gets out, you got two three

425
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: guys in front of him between him and the first

426
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: down market and you don't make the tackle, like you

427
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: don't deserve to beat that guy that day.

428
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: And hats off to Baker Mayfield. Heck of a play,

429
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: but that's awful defense.

430
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Baker Mayfield. You already mentioned that he

431
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: deserves to be in this MVP conversation. I think he

432
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 2: firmly is in the mix right now. We haven't seen

433
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: this type of Baker Mayfield before. He's always been a

434
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: solid quarterback. But right now he's taking this team and

435
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 2: putting him on his back. Like you said, down their

436
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 2: top three wideouts. He carries his team against all although

437
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: bruised up forty nine ers team, he carries him to

438
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 2: a double digit victory. Is Baker Mayfield the guy right

439
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: now the front runner for MVP?

440
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: I can't say the absolute front runner because of Josh Allen,

441
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: the reigning MVP is still playing at a high level.

442
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: I know he just lost to the they just lost

443
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: to the New England Patriots, but I think most people

444
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: would still have him penciled in as the favorite. But

445
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield right on his heels. And if this team

446
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: continues to play like they have, they're at the top

447
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: of the NFC right now. They're playing well even with

448
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: the injuries. They'll get healthier, or they'll get Mike Evans back,

449
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin and Mecca Buka eventually get healthy. I can't

450
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: imagine what the limit is for this offense. The flip

451
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: side of that, their defense has to clean some things

452
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: up there. They're having a hard time stopping the past

453
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: Mac Jones threw for three twenty seven a day and

454
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: with with some guys that were not day one starters.

455
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Are some of the guys that wentn't even on the

456
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: roster day one, and so that that's going to be

457
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: the Achilles heel of this Temp Bay Buccaneers team. But yes, yes,

458
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield deserves a ton of credit for what he's doing,

459
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: and what he's done all season is playing fishing football,

460
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: doing what it takes with his legs, with his arm

461
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: to win football games. And whether it's home or away,

462
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna be. They're gonna be a.

463
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: Tough out the San Francisco forty nine ers. The conversation

464
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: this week, I'm sure, is going to surround the injured

465
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: talent that they were without, especially on the defensive side

466
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: of the ball. Luckily, they're going to be getting kittled back,

467
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: but without Fred Warner, without Nick Bosa. They're hosting the

468
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: Falcons on Sunday Night football. How much does this change

469
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: your expectations for the team. I know you thought they

470
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: would tie the Seattle Seahawks in the division. How does

471
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: this shift your expectations, if at all, I don't.

472
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: Know, if it totally shifts it. It's definitely gonna be

473
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: tougher now. Uh, they're gonna have to find some answers

474
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: on defense. I don't think without a trade or a

475
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: big time move really on both sides of the football,

476
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for them to really reach their potential. Uh,

477
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: these are devastating losses. These aren't just normal guys. You're

478
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: losing like, hey, you know you lost a big time

479
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: starter or you lost a Day one starter. You're losing

480
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: all all pro future Hall of Fame players. H and

481
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Fred was having all another all pro season before the injury,

482
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: and and Nick Bosa was was doing the same. So

483
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: I think it's it's gonna be one of those situations

484
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: you got to do it by by committee. Uh, you

485
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: got to do it by committee, and if and if

486
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,239
Speaker 1: you don't do it by comm you're not gonna get

487
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: it done. And so I don't know. I don't know.

488
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: If the offense gets healthy and brock Party's there and

489
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: George Chitto opens offense and Brandy Ayu comes back. You

490
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: know there's there's a there's a long shot chance they

491
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: can steal win double digit games and be in it,

492
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: but this makes it exponentially more difficult to do. We're

493
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: taking a quick break to let you know that today's

Speaker 2: versus Atlanta and Chicago against Washington.

498
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,200

00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown in five straight games against Washington. That's

502
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: actually pretty wild.

503
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: How about Jon Robinson though Richard, He's reached peyterrt in

504
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: five second home games and Atlanta hasn't covered the spread

505
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 2: as an underdog against the AFC and get this, seven

506
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: straight games.

507
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: That's incredible. But Roman Doomsay is on a four game

508
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: touchdown streak and Washington has won six in a row

509
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: as favorites and covered the sprint in five straight home games.

510

Speaker 1: on it. It's gonna be a nail bier. And the

523
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: La Rams go on the road.

524
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 2: Today and take care of the Baltimore Ravens without their

525
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: their I mean their engine really and Lamar Jackson. This

526
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens teams falls to one in five. Is it

527
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: safe to say now that their season is over?

528
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean before I jump jump to that game,

529
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: I want to give credit to the Seattle Seahawks offensive

530
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: line only gave up one sack today against the defensive

531
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: line that's been playing well. I see at The Jacksonville

532
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense has been playing at a top five tilt

533
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: the entire season, so for them to play that well

534
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: against them is incredible. The Rams they handled business against

535
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, but it looked very, very iffy early on.

536
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: You know, this game turned around late in the game

537
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: and they got a couple of touchdowns, some some mistakes

538
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: by the Ravens, some fumbles that that you can't have

539
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: when you're not playing well offensively, and that put the

540
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: Rams in position really take over this game. But if

541
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: you look at the stats, Matthew Stafford seventeen to twenty

542
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: six for one eighty one in a touchdown, there's a

543
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: number of misses, especially to Devonte Adams, that I really

544
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: would like to ask them about, because it just seems

545
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: like they have no feel for one another. And for

546
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: them to be two great players, two phenomenal guys, you

547
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: would think it'd just be a hand and glove fit.

548
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: But right now it's just not happening like you would

549
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: expect it to. Sometimes you got a great race car driver,

550
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: Mitchell in a great car, but they just don't go

551
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: to well together. Mitchell maybe he needs his old car

552
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: and his old engine. Maybe it's just pooking the cool

553
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: and the way he runs routes. Maybe Davante's you know,

554
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: the way he moves within the routes, you know, don't

555
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: vibe well with Matthew Stafford right now. And he needs

556
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: more chance because obviously they didn't have the training camp

557
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: to make that connection and continue to come together in

558
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: the way that you would expect him to. But it's

559
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: really it's really starting to becoming a glaring issue in

560
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: these games when you look at how because Davante's open

561
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: and Matthews Stafford is an elite quarterback. We're not going

562
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: to debate either of tho those things. But he's missing

563
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: him and he's missing him a lot, and I think

564
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: that's what's making this This offense for the Rams sputter

565
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, but their defense is showing up in

566
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: a big way. The Ravens, it looks like this maybe

567
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: I lost season for them. Uh. They tried to go

568
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: with Cooper Rush for most of the game. He looked awful.

569
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: He threw an interception in the game. Derrick Henry twenty

570
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: four carries for one two. He did what he could.

571
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: They got stuffed in the red zone. They tried to

572
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: do a QB sneak with the tight end didn't work.

573
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: Then try to run Dereck Henry didn't work, get stopped

574
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: on fourth and goal at the one yard line. Obviously,

575
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: as an underdog team, you can't you can't miss those

576
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: opportunities get points on the board, especially when your offense

577
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: is struggling. They went to Tyler Huntley late in the game.

578
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: Offense looked like it looked a lot better with Tyler

579
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Huntley in the game. I would expect them, if Lamar

580
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: can't go next week, to start with Tyler Huntley. But

581
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: I think if they lose the next one, it gets

582
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: to the point where it doesn't make sense to bring

583
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson back with a one in sixteen or one

584
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: in seventeen to put even a one in five team.

585
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: But I'm sure you know he asked Pride. He wants

586
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: to play. He's gonna want to get out there. But

587
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: right now they look dead in the water. And it's

588
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: unfortunate because I think their defense played good enough to

589
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: win this game, but they just didn't get enough offensively.

590
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: Well. The only fortunate thing for the Ravens is their

591
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: division is not what it used to be, and this

592
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: thing could be wide open if the do if the

593
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: Steelers do slip up along the way. So maybe Lamar

594
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: does come back. But to your point, maybe they just

595
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: tell him to sit down the rest of the season.

596
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: We shall see. But I know a team that you're

597
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: falling in love with is in Annapolis Colts and the

598
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals come on the road without Kyler Murray and

599
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: put up a fight, right This game came down to

600
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 2: the wire, came down to the end. Trey McBride. Was

601
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 2: he interfered with in the end zone?

602
00:30:58,680 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: Was he not?

603
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: The ref saw that he was not. The Colts come

604
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: away with a huge win. Indiana Jones, I know you

605
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: love this guy, Richard. What is going on with him?

606
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: Man?

607
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: Because this guy was dead in the water in the

608
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: Giants castaway, goes to Indy, beats out Anthony Richardson and

609
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: now looks like he found a new home, a new

610
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: forever home in Indianapolis. What is going on with these

611
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts? Are they true contenders in the AFC?

612
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: Yes? The simple answer is yes, they're true contenders in

613
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: the AFC, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're one

614
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: of the top three seeds in the NFC, I mean

615
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: the AFC when the season's over, and it's because of

616
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: a number of things. Obviously, Indiana Jones is playing really

617
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: good football, really good football. He had a really bad

618
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: interception in this game that kind of made people, you know,

619
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: give people flashbacks to his time in New York. He

620
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: was rolling out to his right through an interception, didn't

621
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: see mac Wilson standing right there in the tall grass.

622
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: Unfortunate interception. But outside of that, he used his legs

623
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: when he needed to. He ran for a touchdown. He

624
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: threw for two touchdowns. Outside of the interception. They played

625
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: really well. Then you look at Jonathan Taylor. He had

626
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: twenty one carries, one hundred and twenty three yards and

627
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Anytime you have a really consistent run game,

628
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: a great running back, a defense that's playing solid football

629
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: getting stops taking the ball away, you're gonna have a

630
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: chance of success. On the opposite side, you look at

631
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett in Arizona Cardinals. He threw for three to

632
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: twenty two touchdowns, had the interception, but they look like

633
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: a better team with with Jacoby Brissett than they did

634
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray. And I understand people say, how great

635
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: of an athlete Kyler Murray is, how fast he looks,

636
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: how cool it looks when he's running around and doing

637
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: all that. But if you really just peel back the layers,

638
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: you stop and just level set and say, who's playing

639
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: quarterback better? How does the offense function with him at quarterback?

640
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: Tons He guys dropped footballs, no question about it. But

641
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: he misses wide open receivers the off he just takes

642
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: off from from clean pockets, and he doesn't let plays develop.

643
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: And when you see Jacoby Brissett play this way for

644
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: this offense and then play against a really good Indianapolis

645
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: coach team, it was a battle against of old Eagles

646
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: coordinators and Shane Stikeen and and uh and Jonathan Gannon,

647
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: you wonder do they need Kyler Murray? And the answer

648
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: probably is no, Like they don't benefit from having Kyler

649
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: Murray out there. When you can get this kind of

650
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: performance from Jacoby Brissett and your offense function really well,

651
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: even without your star running back who's who, Uh Connor,

652
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: who's out for the season, you still are in a

653
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: game with a four to one Indianapolis coach team driving

654
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: down the field with a play in the end zone

655
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: that could have potentially won the game in the closing seconds.

656
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: So I think there's a conversation that's gonna be had,

657
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: at least with Cardinals fans of is the offense better

658
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: off with Kyler Murray being out. I don't know what

659
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's injury is. You know, I know everybody's gonna

660
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: joke that Battlefield six just came out on Friday and

661
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: now Kyler Murray's out. But hey, I look, I'm just

662
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: telling you what they're gonna speculate, Mitch. What they're gonna

663
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: speculate it. Usually it's called a duty. But Battlefield came

664
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: out and Tyler's I mean, Kyler's out. I don't know,

665
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: but Jacoby Brissett is clearly locked in and played a really,

666
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: really good game, gave this team a chance to win

667
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: the ball game after a really unfortunate game against the

668
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans last week. I think it's gonna be a

669
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: point of contention going forward, especially if Kyler does come

670
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: back and doesn't play as well as Jacobe. Prissett just played.

671
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 2: Richard before we leave this game, Jonathan Gannon. In this

672
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals team, they really should be three and three,

673
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: let's look back real quick at last week's game, we

674
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: saw something transplayer on the sideline, Jonathan Gannon appeared to

675
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: lay at his hand on Amario de Mercado's arm. I

676
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: know you've been on competitive teams, you know, on heated

677
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: sidelines when things might not have gone your way. What

678
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: do you make of this situation that developed last week?

679
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: We saw Jonathan Gannon come out and apologize for his actions.

680
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: But as a former athlete, when a player makes a

681
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 2: mistake of the magnitude that Amari di Mercado did, I mean,

682
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: what is your take on what transpired on those sidelines

683
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 2: last weekend?

684
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: Well, it's just it's just frustration. As a head coach,

685
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: you can't control everything, but you feel like you control

686
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: putting guys in positions to be successful. They felt like

687
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: they put de Marcado in a position to score. And

688
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: you give a lot of responsibility to guys when you

689
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: hit them the football, And they taught every coach would

690
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: talk about this, You have the whole team's hopes in

691
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: your hands when you have the football, Like that's the

692
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: hopes and dreams of everybody's family, everybody's friends, everybody's kids,

693
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: every teammate, everybody who sacrifice, and every coach and the

694
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: hours they're putting it. You have that ball in your

695
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: hand and it's your responsibility to not put it in danger.

696
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: Now nobody, I mean, guys get frustrated when when guys

697
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: get stripped or punched, ball gets punched out. But you

698
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: can understand competitive plays and and hey, football's football, so

699
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: violent game. Things happen. You tap them on the head. Hey,

700
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: that's that's all right, man, We'll keep getting them. But

701
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: unforced errors, unforced where it's just show voting, lazy like

702
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: carelessness is a different level of frustration for both coaches

703
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: and teammates. But it doesn't excuse Jonathan Gannon's actions. Coaches

704
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: can get frustrated, you can curse them out. It's it's

705
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: what you deal with as a football player. You can

706
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: get cursed out. You deal with accountability. You're gonna have

707
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: to watch it in film over and over and over.

708
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: You might get benched the next game. That's accountability. But

709
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: the physical part of it is where the concern came in.

710
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: That's why Jonathan Gannon said, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna

711
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: accept my find I was wrong. I'm gonna apologize because

712
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done that, because you do that to

713
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: the wrong guy. Because when you make a mistake, yours

714
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: only one or two ways you go. You either get

715
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: really frustrated and you're pissed off and nobody needs to

716
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: touch you just let him cool off, or you kind

717
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: of go into the tank and you're like so down

718
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: that you're like, man, I don't even know if this

719
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: sport is for me, and some guys go all the

720
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: way down. And that's what the direction it seemed like

721
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: de Mercado went is just into the tank. His teammates

722
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: were consoling. You can tell he's down. Coach. Are you

723
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: wrong for cursing him out in that situation? Not really.

724
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: You you go over there and speak your piece. You're

725
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: the head coach. Go over there and make your point,

726
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: no question about it. But if you catch a guy

727
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: who goes the other way and you start to talk

728
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: to him in that way, like it make it fits,

729
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: go to a point that you can't control and you

730
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: can't handle it. I'm sure everybody else said this already,

731
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: but that's where you you You gotta be careful because

732
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: you're in a dark place to play football, To play it,

733
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: you gotta be fearless, you gotta be aggressive, you gotta

734
00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: be wired different, and don't don't don't don't match energy.

735
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: Don't come at me with that kind of energy attacking

736
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: me when I'm in that space and I'm already frustrated

737
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: with myself. I'm frustrated with the situation, and thank goodness

738
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: for the resilience and control that De Mercado showed right there.

739
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I would have showed the same.

740
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not. I don't think I would have

741
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: punched anybody, because we're on a football field. We're not

742
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: gonna do all that. But as soon as you would

743
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: have pushed me the second time, probably would have grabbed

744
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: and say, hey, that's enough, Like hey, don't don't make

745
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: me snatch you up out here, like I'll calm you

746
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: down real quick. I'm not I'm not gonna punch you.

747
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do anything. But once you go physical,

748
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: I can go physical back, and we can play that game.

749
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's the dangerous president. And I think

750
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: that's what Jonathan Gannon understood about that situation, is like, hey,

751
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: I was wrong. I could yell at him. That's part

752
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: of the game, and everybody's like, that's just old school

753
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 1: super culture and that's old school. Well, I'm gonna let

754
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: you know. Things change and players are making a lot

755
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: of money these days, and there's parking lots that they

756
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: can meet you in. And understand that these are grown

757
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: men you're dealing with. These are key kids. They have family,

758
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: they have kids. They are gonna ask for a certain

759
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: level of respect. A mistake was made, you can do

760
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: whatever you within your powers of the head coach. You

761
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: can cut him, you can curse him out, bench him, like,

762
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: demote him. You got all the power in the world.

763
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: Once you get physical, you kind of you, You're you're

764
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: changing the You're blurring the lines between coach and player interaction.

765
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: Unless you guys have that relationship like Travis kelce and

766
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: and Andy Reid have. They clearly have a relationship where

767
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: they have that kind of Hey, we're gonna bump each other,

768
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna get each other hyped up, we're gonna get

769
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: each other riled up, We're gonna go there with one another,

770
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: and there's an understanding. Hey, that's we've seen the multiple

771
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: times where where Andy Reid's comes stomach bumped Travis Kelcey like,

772
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: come on, get it, get going, and it's to get

773
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: him going in the game. That's something they have. And

774
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: we've seen the other way, you know, Travis kelce come

775
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: up to Andy Reid like, oh yeah, what you think

776
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: of that? You know? And it's cool, Okay, cool. That's

777
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: the connection is to have. When you don't have that,

778
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: be careful, be careful. You don't you don't want these

779
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: grown men to turn to show you why they played

780
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: professional sports, to show you how strong and how aggressive

781
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: they can be. Like you don't want to beat the

782
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: opponent because you don't have pants on or helmet or

783
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: anything protecting you. Just be careful.

784
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: Let's talk about another surprising team, the Indianapolis Colts. Obviously

785
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: a five to one, I think they take that cake.

786
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: But the New England Patriots, fresh off of victory against

787
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo on primetime Monday Night Football,

788
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 2: go to the big, easy New Orleans and take care

789
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 2: of the Saints. And I know it's the lowly Saints,

790
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: but the Patriots are now four and two, and we

791
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 2: were talking about it off air. Their schedule is probably

792
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 2: the easiest in the NFL. Their next two games against

793
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 2: the Titans and Browns. If you guys have not looked

794
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: at their schedule yet, take a peek at it. There

795
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: is a world that we live in that the Patriots

796
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: could easily be a two seed a three seed entering

797
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 2: the playoffs. But the question I have for you, Richard

798
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: Drake May, second year quarterback out of North Carolina, is

799
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: really starting to put on a show. Has he entered

800
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: the conversation for top ten quarterback in this league?

801
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think he's He's He's definitely on the edge.

802
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: He's definitely a tweeting right now because any given day

803
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: he kind of goes back and forth. He may make

804
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: a couple of mistakes that you question, you like, I

805
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: don't know about that. But this week it looked like

806
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: he took a huge step, a leap in his processing,

807
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: the way he saw the field, his understanding, his risk taking.

808
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: He put the ball down the field to Mario Douglass

809
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: had two huge plays in the game. One of them

810
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: got called back for an offensive pass interference on Stefan Diggs,

811
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: but it's still on tape, and he found him and

812
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: they were attacking the Saints defense aggressively each and every drive.

813
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: He also did it with his legs. He made plays

814
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: with his legs, had a twenty yard run in the game.

815
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: But yes, I think he's doing a great job of

816
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: leading this team and they don't and he's not doing

817
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: it with the guys that you would expect. Obviously, he

818
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: had to win the big time win against the Buffalo Bills,

819
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, oh, that's a fluke, good for them,

820
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: But the Bills are obviously better, don't. Don't be so

821
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: sure about that. And we'll find out later in the

822
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: season when they play again. These divisional games can always

823
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: be competitive, but I don't know how Buffalo, you know,

824
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: goes throughout the season. But there is a world where

825
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, like he just said, can be

826
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: the two or three seed. They don't have a lot

827
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: of difficult games down the stretch. They have the Jets twice,

828
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: I believe, and the Jets have been struggling, struggling mightily,

829
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: and look like they are gonna have a fire sale

830
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: before the trade deadline. Then you got you got Cincinnati Bengals,

831
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: who just traded for Joe Flackell. I don't know what

832
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: that's gonna look like. We'll see in these next couple

833
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: In these next few games these next few weeks how

834
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: that manifests itself. Then you look at the Tennessee Titans,

835
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: who they have next week, the Browns who are playing

836
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback and maybe you know, changing that up

837
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: later on down the line. So there's a world where

838
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: they play a lot of winnable games. The AFC East

839
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: is not a strong division with the way the Miami

840
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins have been struggling. They lost today, and the Jets

841
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: have been just they haven't won a game yet. So

842
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: I know we sound crazy, And if we'd have said

843
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: this before the season, everybody would have been like, oh

844
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: my god, there's no reason to watch this show because

845
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: these guys have lost their minds. But don't be so

846
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: sure that the New England Patriots look legit, and you

847
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 1: would think, hey, Stefan Diggs played an incredible game against

848
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. He's the guy, that's why they're doing this.

849
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: But it was Kashan Booty that was fired for ninety

850
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: three this game. And like I said, the Mario Douglas

851
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: had a great had a great catch and run for

852
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,959
Speaker 1: a touchdown, had another touchdown call back. And so they're

853
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: getting contributions from different guys, they didn't run the ball

854
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: necessarily well today they ran it thirty one times two

855
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: point four average. But they're still finding ways to win.

856
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: And don't count out teams like Saints because everybody's like, all,

857
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: it's just against the Saints. What the Saints just beat

858
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: the Giants last week, who just beat the Eagles. And

859
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: I know this is all a lot of complicated math,

860
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: but they could clearly are an NFL team that could

861
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: get things done, and they could play good defense when

862
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: when things happen right for him, and they were competitive

863
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: in this game late they're one and five, but I

864
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: gotta feel they're gonna upset teams late in the season

865
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: as well.

866
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: Well. Mike Vrabel is quickly making his name heard in

867
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 2: New England territory. Let's talk about the Panthers, Richard. What

868
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 2: if I told you the Panthers were gonna be three

869
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: and three to start this season off, I just I

870
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 2: don't get it. I mean that they get Ricodoudele going

871
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: rushers for over two hundred yards last week, comes out

872
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: against his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, runs for another

873
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 2: one to eighty three. This is impressive stuff here in Carolina.

874
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 2: And I know they're probably not, you know, in the

875
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: conversation for playoff contention, but for them to get to

876
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 2: winning is important, especially with the young quarterback in Bryce Young.

877
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 2: Probably the bigger storyline here though, is the downfall the

878
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. A loss on the road against the Carolina Panthers.

879
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: You know, this could have made this team three two

880
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 2: on one in contention. You know, with the with the

881
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles stumbling in that division, who knows, Dallas could

882
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 2: have been firmly in that mix. But Dak Prescott and

883
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 2: we talked about it off there. You compared him much

884
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 2: so to Joe Burrow, who you thought last year had

885
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 2: the MVP numbers. Dak Prescott looks very similar. Thirteen touchdowns

886
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 2: on the season, two sixty one and three touchdowns today

887
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 2: in a losing effort. What do you make of this game?

888
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: Rich? I know they got Aberflus thinking, hey, hey, Iberflus

889
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: has been great, you know, at least on the defensive side.

890
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: He didn't do great as a head coach in Chicago.

891
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: But it looks awful. They look badly coached, The scheme

892
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: looks broken. It looks like they have bad person they

893
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: all for what they're trying to run, they don't tackle well,

894
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: they don't blitz well, they don't contain well. They give

895
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: up a lot of points every single week where it

896
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: just looks like, how could this defense be so bad.

897
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of the same personnel. I mean

898
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: Deron Bland and Trevon Diggs and and a lot of

899
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: these same guys, these pass rushers, uh, these these defensive

900
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 1: players play pretty good football under Al Harris and under

901
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn and really be successful. And so to watch

902
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: them strouble against the Carolina Panthers and and and have

903
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: the issues that they're having. They had the issues against

904
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers where they gave up forty points. Everybody thought,

905
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: oh man, they had they fixed their issues against the

906
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: New York Jets, But it's just the Jets. The Jets

907
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: are bad, so you didn't fix your issues. The Jets

908
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: even scored twenty two on you. So it's really concerning

909
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: for Jerry and I know we want to sit there

910
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: and talk about Michael Parsons and how much they miss

911
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons, but this is beyond Michael Parsons. Thank goodness

912
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: he got out of there, because they're just a bad

913
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: defense and they make everybody look bad. Everybody on the

914
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: defense looks bad when you're playing this bad, and the

915
00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers deserves a ton of credit. Bryce Young seventeen

916
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: to twenty five, three touchdowns to going to your guy Teturoa.

917
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: McMillan did not say it right minute, Yes you did, Richard.

918
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 2: I'm impressed. Man. That's that's a heck of a You

919
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 2: were struggling off air, but you got it right now.

920
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: Man.

921
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 2: That's all that matters.

922
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: That's why that's why you practice. That's why you practice.

923
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: And I appreciate your help. At ric o'dowdle. I mean

924
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, he had two hundred yards rushing

925
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: last week, he has one hundred and eighty three this

926
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: week in a revenge game versus the Dallas Cowboys. What

927
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: a game. But when you're in Cowboys Land and Jerry

928
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: Jones this offseason is saying we're just trying to get

929
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: closer to a super Bowl, and we're doing making the

930
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: moves to get closer to a super Bowl. Jerry, do

931
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: you feel closer? Do you think super Bowl? This year?

932
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: You got George Pickens, who had an incredible game. George

933
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: Pickens looks like the future face of the Dallas Cowboys,

934
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: especially when Ced Lamb gets back. But do you feel

935
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: closer offense? Dak Prescott probably an All Pro right now,

936
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: would be an MVP candidate. If the defense could just

937
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: stop stop a running nose Mitchell, if they could cover

938
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: a bed with a blanket Mitchell, if they could just

939
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: if they could do anything getting away, you'd be talking

940
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott as an MVP candidate. Thirteen touchdowns on the season,

941
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: three interceptions, phenomenal football. But you can't stop anybody. So

942
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: now it's gonna be ignored and people are gonna talk

943
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: about Dark Prescott. They need to replaced Courting. No, it's

944
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: not the quarterback. It's not the offense at all. I

945
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: think the offense is doing well. They're playing well enough

946
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: to win these games. You have to do something about

947
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: the defense. Obviously, an incredible pass rusher would help, but

948
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: it would not stop some of the issues that they

949
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: are having in the secondary. These are busted coverages. These

950
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: are this lack of effort, lack of UH concentration, focused,

951
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: bad play calling. You can't keep these are This has

952
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: been a man coverage defense for the last couple of

953
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: years and done well. I mean Deron Blant At that

954
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: tenors or nine pick six year, they were playing really

955
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: good football. Now you just you can't even recognize the

956
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: schemes they're playing because you're just, Oh, it's just awf

957
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: of football to watch. Every time I watched it all

958
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: twenty two, I'm like, God, leave man, they're just going

959
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: out to practice and drinking on the job or something,

960
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: because this is you couldn't have practiced and went out

961
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: there and executed this. It looked bad. And then you're

962
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: talking about a year where the NFC East could be

963
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: up in the air. You know, anybody, you looked at

964
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles this Thursday. We were there Thursday Night

965
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: football in New York, the New York Giants, and these

966
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: young boys Jackson Dark Jackson scat in the trap and

967
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: they wore you out. They wore them out metro, they

968
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: war them out. They look like the better team. And

969
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: you're talking about they're going against the reigning Super Bowl

970
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: champions and they outplayed them in every aspect of that game.

971
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: The offense looked pathetic. The Philadelphia Eagles offense looked bad,

972
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 1: not because of the talent level, but because of the

973
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: play called. Hey, there has to be an easier way

974
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 1: to just get aj Brown one on one back side

975
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: and throw on the ball and say, hey, we got

976
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: better players than you. You gotta find something else. Stop

977
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: And if they're clouding him, then you should be able

978
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: to run with your reigning offensive player of the year,

979
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 1: say Kwan Barkley. But you know what you can't do.

980
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: You can't run flex into an overload. I'm not an

981
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in the National Football League, but if you

982
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: run into a side where they have more than you have,

983
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: it's not a successful play. And unless your players do

984
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: something extraordinary, it's not gonna work. And so when you

985
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: talk about Pachulo, it's on him. You know this isn't

986
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: different personnel. Cool. They lost Makai Beckton, no question, that's

987
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: a loss. Landon Dickerson was hurt this game. But for

988
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: it to go as bad as it's going with the

989
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: same personnel, you gotta look somewhere. And right now it's

990
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: looking like the play caller needs to put these guys

991
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: in better positions to be successful and he's not doing it.

992
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: And defensively, then Jalen Carter there was there was conversations

993
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: before the game that he's sitting out because of this

994
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: New York turf, and how dangerous it is. He has

995
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: a heel injury, which is usually an achilles injury, in

996
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury that's been lingering from twenty twenty four,

997
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: So you have no death. You're playing Jordan Davis ninety

998
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: percent of the plays, and that that makes that makes

999
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: no sense. You don't play interior defensive linemen who are

1000
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty ployounds plus ninety the snaps eighty

1001
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,959
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. They usually play forty snaps a game.

1002
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: He's playing sixty sixty five snaps a game. That's not sustainable.

1003
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: So you wonder why in the fourth quarter the other

1004
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: teams are running the ball better, they're executing and you

1005
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: seeing the D line get less pressure because you can't

1006
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: play these guys like that. You have to find more depth,

1007
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: and you can't let guys like Milton Williams walk out

1008
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: the building, can't let guys like Josh Schwat walk out

1009
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: of the building. Because you go from a very strong

1010
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 1: team to two injuries away from having no depth. Now

1011
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith is on and you wonder what happened? Your

1012
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 1: chap two are very questionable right now, you lost Quinnon,

1013
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: Mitchell to a hamstring in his game. And then it's like,

1014
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: oh my god, this looks like an entirely different team.

1015
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,439
Speaker 1: This does not look like a team that can't be beat.

1016
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: It looks like a team that any contender would have

1017
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: their weight with. And that's got to change.

1018
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 2: You want to talk about a team that looks entirely different.

1019
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: The New York Giants with Jackson Dart at the helm

1020
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 2: look entirely different. With Cam Scataboo running the ball, look

1021
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 2: entirely different. How impressed were you with their game? And

1022
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit about Cam Skataboo. Who is

1023
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: the toughest running back that you had to tackle? Because

1024
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,959
Speaker 2: I would have to imagine this guy. No one wants

1025
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 2: to line up against him. He just lowers his head

1026
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 2: and runs right into your sternum. Who is the toughest

1027
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 2: guy that you had to tackle during your playing days?

1028
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: That's tough, that's stuff. I mean, you got a lot

1029
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: of guys. Jonathan Stewart was a good one. You know.

1030
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: You have Frank Gory. He's not hard to tackle in

1031
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: terms of physicality, but just slippery and finding a way

1032
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: to get extra yards after the carry. But running backs

1033
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: like that, I'm more concerned about Cam in this respect

1034
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: because they don't last long. I know, it looks cool

1035
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: for a few years and you're like, man, look at

1036
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: all these but you got to start protecting yourself, Cam,

1037
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: because this league has a lot of people who don't

1038
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: have any sense on defense, and they're going to hunt you,

1039
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,479
Speaker 1: and they're going to like enough of those hits. You're human.

1040
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: These aren't robots, these aren't machines. He's not made of metal,

1041
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: and so it's really fantastic what he's able to do.

1042
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 1: I love the way he played in this game. I

1043
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 1: thought his physicality, that the hit on Bond that rolled

1044
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: him over and he got the first down, the hit

1045
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: at the goal line where him and ball in the

1046
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: hole they met, he drove him forward, scored the touchdown,

1047
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: reached the ball over. Was huge in terms of the

1048
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: psyche of the New York Giants and the momentum, but

1049
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: it's just not a sustainable way to play the football

1050
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: game and everywhere. It's a lot of years of studying

1051
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: it and the way they've done it. It's really cool

1052
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: to see because they're injecting such a new life into

1053
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: the New York and their fan base. You talk about

1054
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: you talk to the other teams coaches. I was talking

1055
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: to the Eagles coaches before the game, and they say

1056
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: they that team is just playing with a different energy

1057
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: with Jackson Dart at the helm. They feel like they

1058
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: can win. They believe they can win. They were injured too,

1059
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: They were down Slaton obviously, Leak Neighbors went down with

1060
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: his ACL injury, and Windale Robinson has a great game.

1061
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: Theo Johnson continues to eat. Scatiboul has three touchdowns. It

1062
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: didn't matter. It didn't matter if they're going against AJ

1063
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: Brown and Devonte Smith and the raining offensive Player of

1064
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: the year. They don't care. They're so young, you know,

1065
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: when you're too young to know you're not supposed to

1066
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: be doing this, Like you're too young to understand that

1067
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: these are the reigning Super Bowl champions and you're supposed

1068
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: to be intimidated and your team isn't technically as talented

1069
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 1: and you guys aren't supposed to be able to win

1070
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 1: this game. It's like they don't know. They're just going

1071
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: out here like, hey, we're bawling, we're having a good time,

1072
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: we're celebrating. We got our handshacks together. And that's a

1073
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: dangerous kind of combination for a young team. I wouldn't

1074
00:54:58,560 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: be surprised if they ran off a couple of win

1075
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: against some competitive teams and really gave this fan base

1076
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: some hope. I think they might have saved da Bol's job,

1077
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: especially for this season. You can see the chemistry and

1078
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 1: and real real love that that Dave Ball has almost

1079
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: to the point where where he went two fall. He Yeah,

1080
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: and when he.

1081
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 2: Was he wasn't just checking on Jackson Dart in that

1082
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 2: tenth Richard, he was checking on his job status. Because

1083
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 2: let's be real, if Jackson Dart does not come back

1084
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 2: and this is a couple of games, I mean, this

1085
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 2: Brian day ball Uh experiment might be one that ends

1086
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 2: here pretty soon. But like you said, I think they

1087
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 2: probably end up keeping them around because this team looks

1088
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 2: like they're having fun again, and this is something that

1089
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: we've not seen in New York Giants football in quite

1090
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 2: some years.

1091
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 3: So you got you gotta love to see it for

1092
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 3: their fan base. Yeah, you definitely love to see it.

1093
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 3: They're they're they're fantastic, they're energized, they're having fun. These

1094
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 3: young guys being the face of the program for a

1095
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 3: long time to come. That's gonna be great for New

1096
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 3: York football. Richard, Let's talk about the Miami Dolphins. They're

1097
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 3: off to a horrendous start. It seems like the team

1098
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 3: is all up in arms. Tyreek Hill goes out with

1099
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 3: a huge injury. This identity of this team is gone.

1100
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniels is on a very hot seat. He might

1101
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,919
Speaker 3: be joining James Franklin in the unemployment line here soon.

1102
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 3: And we see postgame after this loss against the Chargers today,

1103
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 3: Tua is calling out his teammates saying they're either not

1104
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 3: showing up the player only meetings or they're just showing

1105
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 3: up late. I mean, obviously there's frustration in Tua's voice.

1106
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 3: Obviously he's got to be very frustrated going through the

1107
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 3: prime of his career like this.

1108
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 2: What do you make of Tua's comments postgame?

1109
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: Uh, it's Tua's comments were hit scratching, to say the least,

1110
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: because basically, you're saying they don't read. Your teammates don't

1111
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: respect leadership, and you're the leader. Your teammates have no

1112
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: respect or regard for the leadership your team is showing,

1113
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: and you're the leader. So it says more about him.

1114
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: It's more of a shot against himself, you know, than

1115
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: it is anybody else. It's an indictment against his leadership

1116
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: because your teammates don't respect you, and your teammates don't

1117
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: respect you, so they're not showing up. They don't hold

1118
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: you in high enough regard. I guarantee you most quarterbacks

1119
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, they could hold a players

1120
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: only meeting at their house twenty miles away and guys

1121
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: are gonna show. But when they don't have that kind

1122
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: of regard or respect for you, and you continue to

1123
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: try to call them out in the media instead of

1124
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: having conversations behind closed doors, to try to do it,

1125
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: to make an attempt to make yourself look better and

1126
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: make them look worse, the respect only drops. The respect

1127
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: level drops, and I'm sure it's almost down to nothing

1128
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: with this last attempt. Earlier in the season, they lost,

1129
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: and he was like, oh, I want to see how

1130
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: other guys approached the gay if they're gonna still show

1131
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: up and on the off days and do all this,

1132
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: like that's enough, that's enough. We don't care what you

1133
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: think other guys are gonna do, because it's almost like

1134
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: you're saying, hey, I'm perfect, everybody else isn't so you

1135
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 1: guys need to be better and then we'll get better

1136
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: as a team. To what you through ridiculous interceptions today,

1137
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: you've done so throughout the season. You haven't played great football.

1138
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: If you're playing great, if you're playing the way Dak Prescott,

1139
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: for example, is playing, and he gets up on a

1140
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 1: podium and he's played at all pro level and his

1141
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: team has let him down, You got the right to

1142
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: say something like that. You definitely probably won't, and you

1143
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: haven't heard Dak Prescott. Are many leaders ever speak like

1144
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: that about their team? They say, hey, I can do better,

1145
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: even though in reality they probably can't play much better.

1146
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: But accountability looks like that. You take blame when it's

1147
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: always when it's not always due. You take less credit

1148
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: than your due, and you give praise to your teammates.

1149
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: You don't tear your teammates down and say, hey, I've

1150
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: been doing everything I can. I don't know about the

1151
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: other guys. That's that's the opposite of leadership. So I

1152
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: expect this team to continue to implode, and you start

1153
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: to understand more and more why Tyreek Hill was celebrating

1154
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: after a devastating injury because he no longer has to

1155
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: be a part of this kind of nonsense. And I

1156
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: think to a tongue of Ilo is is a good person.

1157
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a solid player in the league.

1158
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: But you can't do this. You can't talk like this

1159
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: about guys and play to the level you're playing at.

1160
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: Like you just can't. Like these are grown men and

1161
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: you're not playing great football. So it's time to just

1162
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: shut up and buckle up and try to play better,

1163
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: try to get wins, and try to do better. You

1164
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: could have come to guys and be like, hey, in

1165
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: the locker room, you got everybody after a game. Hey,

1166
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: if we really gonna take this series, we got to

1167
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: show up to players only meetings. We got to show

1168
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: the effort. We got to show that we care, show

1169
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: that we want this season, show that we want to win,

1170
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: not get up in a press conference in front of guys,

1171
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: in front of the media so you can make head

1172
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: lines to finger pointed other guys like get out of here, man,

1173
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: get out of here. That's that's bush league. That's bush league.

1174
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: Bull All odds and lines come from our partners at

1175
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet. We've got to Monday night foot tomorrow

1176
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Falcons and the Bears versus

1177
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: the Commanders.

1178
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 2: Richard hard Rock Bet has the Bills at minus four

1179
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 2: and a half traveling to the Falcons. Do you have

1180
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 2: the Bills covering four and a half points?

1181
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: Do I have the Bills covering four and a half points.

1182
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: I could see it happening. I could see it happening.

1183
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: The Falcons defense has been spotty. Obviously, the Bills had

1184
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: struggled last week, but I think this is a big

1185
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: rebound game. I think they can get it done.

1186
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 2: And how about the Commanders. They're also spot and the

1187
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 2: Bears four and a half points. You got the Commander's

1188
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 2: covering four and a half.

1189
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: That's much tougher to really calculate with the injuries that

1190
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: the Commanders have to Terry mcclaurin, Deebo Samuel is questionable

1191
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: in this game. I'm not sure. I got the Commanders

1192
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: covering four and a half against the Bears. And my

1193
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: two players for any time TDS are Keon Coleman and

1194
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: my Stanford guy zach Ertz Okay.

1195
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it, Richard. That concludes Week six.

1196
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 2: Tough loss for the forty nine Ers, big win for

1197
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks. You feel free to sign us off,

1198
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 2: my friend.

1199
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: As always. I know you know, Seattle Seahawks. The twelves

1200
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: are feeling really good. They're faithful. You're feeling down, You're

1201
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: feeling down and out, especially with the Fred Warner injury.

1202
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: It's not over. There's always hope, there's always light at

1203
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel. You know, take a second

1204
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: to yourselves. Figure it out. Twelves, get ready for this

1205
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Mariner's game tonight. I know, Bettro you're a little disappointed.

1206
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: I was there for the fifteen innings of craziness against

1207
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: the Detroit Tigers. I know you were watching every second.

1208
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: After that two run homer, you were probably feeling pretty good.

1209
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: I was, but the Mariners were able to pull it off. Hopefully,

1210
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: after this long trip to Toronto, they're feeling okay. That

1211
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: was a long, long game. They they went deep into

1212
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: their their bullpen. I think they went back to the

1213
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: starters by the end did so. Hopefully they got some

1214
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: gas left in the tank for the Blue Jays they

1215
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: can pull out a win tonight at five o'clock. I'm

1216
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: gonna be watching games starts in about two minutes and

1217
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch it. Appreciate you guys joining me.
