1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Do you Around the NFL Podcast? Eaglewood's Hottest Act from

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: the Chris west Lank Podcast Studio. It is the Around

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast, Dan Kansas, Gregg Rose Atal Park feel

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: a little under the weather to day. So it's up

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: to you Greg to carry that entire side of the table. Ka,

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: can I ask? Can I put the show on your

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: back in the biggest of all spin. I mean, you know,

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of honking. I'm just gonna eat up

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: that airtime. You're not getting any extra. Do you know what?

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: There was a wrestler in the eighties. I know you

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: weren't that plugged into WWF and the ol days. Honky

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: tonk man, I had a year or two. You're you're

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: you're wrong. Actually there there was a year or two

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: where I like rented all the old Summer Slam and

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: uh Royal Rumble like videos and bang through them. So

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I know my stuff. So remember renting videos? Yeah, of course,

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: of course, um colic and videos. I think it was

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: the hockey talk man. That's I'm gonna start building out

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: your nickname repertoire, and that is that's you. When you

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: start talking too much, start hawkey time. It's like anybuddykay

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: talk Man's in the building. I thought I was gonna say,

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm not really giving off like a Southern musician, probably

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: a racist considering like the time and place of honkeydyk Man.

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm giving off that vibe. Uh.

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: This is Week three in the NFL. A little later tonight,

26
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: Greg and Danny Kelly of The Ringer will recap the

27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: beginning of Week three, which is Texans Cults and now

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: we're going to dig into the rest of the games. Now,

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: the Colts, as we tape this, are one of seven

30
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: teams that enter Week three windless, and we call this

31
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: on the show. It's like the caged animal, the cornered animal,

32
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: the wounded animal. This is the week and I don't

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: think it changes, Greg, even though we have seventeen games.

34
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I guess it does change in a little bit because

35
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: it's just math. There's more more, there's more opportunities now

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: to get back into a race. But I would think

37
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: that statistically, if we're still doing a season this long

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: in twenty years, the data is going to be similar.

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: You start knowing three you're banged in a big spot. No,

40
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: you're done. So Jets, this is one of your best, um,

41
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: you know routines every year, or at least theories is

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: the corner animal routine. You're done at oh and three,

43
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it. And it's some teams

44
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: and now getting our mentions and say no, this team

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: and that team that that is the exception that proves

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: the rule. Jets, Jaguars, Giants, Detroit, Minnesota, Atlanta all need

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: to win this weekend to really keep their season on

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: track if you want to make the playoffs. And Greg,

49
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: not for nothing, we do a little game here ourselves

50
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: called the lock game. You've started owing two. Well, that's

51
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: that's not the same as the cornered Animal because we're

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: like the a f C South. I mean, I'm only

53
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: one game behind. I'm not expecting any of these teams

54
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: to go undefeated or anything. Um So that list you

55
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: just made though, if like you had made a list

56
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: of who's gonna be o in two before the season,

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: almost none of those are a surprise except Minnesota, who

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, not for nothing, lost in overtime and on

59
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: a missed kicks right, they could easily be to and

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: know the rest of those teams, especially when you think

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: about the coult schedule. The Cults, of course playing Sunday.

62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: We got the uh the Panthers Texans on Thursday night

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: the Colts. If you looked at that schedule going into

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: the season, it is not a shock that they couldn't

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: beat the Seahawks in the Rams. All right, so we're

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna go through all the games. And because now just

67
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: two of us, Greg, I don't know, man, now it's

68
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: two of us. Ricky's here too, Ricky, you're not You're

69
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: still here, right, I'm still here, still here? Are you?

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm doing well, are you guys? I

71
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: don't like these huge monitors. Um. Yeah, it's blocking my eyesight. Well,

72
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm also like, I'm too dressed up. I want to

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: wear a T shirt. Just the weirdest noise like it

74
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: was like a like an armpit fart out of your mouth.

75
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play it an now I can just look

76
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: at Maybe I gotta move my seat up. But Dan

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: just looks like he's like towering over me in this

78
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: in this situation, I know, but I'm not usually like

79
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: looking at it. I feel small, huge on the inside.

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: That's good, that's the most important thing. Um. Alright, So

81
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: Ricky we're gonna do instead of going around a draft

82
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: one to three with Mark will work things out for Sunday. Um,

83
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: Greg and I are just gonna go back and forth.

84
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: But let's start. Let's mix things up and start this

85
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: preview show with the primetime games. Uh, and we will

86
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: start with both are great, well, one's amazing. One's real good,

87
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: especially if you're a guy likes the NFC East, and

88
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: I do, because you know who else I liked. I

89
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: liked Poppy my grandfather sitting on the chair, the big

90
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: brown chair and the den we called it the den

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: in my grandmother's house, Grampy's place, with his root beer,

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: watching the g men, not talking to anybody. It's like

93
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: not one of those things where it's like I learned

94
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: so much about football from my grandfather. I would sit

95
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: at his knee and he would he would show me

96
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Phil Sims and Lawrence Taylor and tell me that's the

97
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: way football should be played. No, Poppy didn't that much

98
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: to say, but we did watch the games in silence together.

99
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: When I got home from St. Margaret's when we had

100
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: church on Sunday, Keith would be playing softball, usually me,

101
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: my mom my, sister Shay and Kevin. We would then

102
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: go to Granby's and there's Poppy on the couch. Were

103
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: you in silence? Yeah? I mean it was like eleven

104
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: ten nine. If Poppa doesn't really want to talk, what

105
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: am I gonna say? I mean that it was a

106
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: different experience than me. If you think I'm a honking

107
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: try to get a word in edge drives at the Rosenthah,

108
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: especially watching sports. But I like, your your comfortable in

109
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: the silence. That's one thing I've noticed now we're here

110
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: in the Chris Wesleyan podcast studio, and I have wondered,

111
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: like what would Chris think about all this because it

112
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: all is very fancy. Um, but you know back in

113
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: the day, like you wouldn't have just been comfortable kind

114
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: of like luxuriating in these poses. That's like a power

115
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: broadcasting move. And you are there a lot of positives.

116
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just maybe just two of us. So I'm

117
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: just trying to kill seconds at this point. Um. Anyway,

118
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: NFC is football always fun. Let's start there. Monday Night Football,

119
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: Eagles at Cowboys UM and man the Eagles. Let's start

120
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: with the Eagles here. It feels like the Cowboys UM

121
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: got away with one on Sunday on some level. But

122
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: that's a big one on the road, and we'll get

123
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: to the um where we stand on Dallas. But the Eagles,

124
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, Jalen Reagor stepping out of bounds on that

125
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: touchdown catch, you have, UM, the Quaes Watkins ninety one

126
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: yard reception setting up first and goal, and then you

127
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: go four, you know, four and out with the not

128
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: so Philly special in a game that ended nineteen four.

129
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: That's a bad beat. That's a tough beat against the Niners. UM,

130
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: But how do you feel about the Eagles going into

131
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: this game? Did you take positives out of that performance?

132
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: I did. I just look at the two weeks as

133
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: a whole that if you told me before the season

134
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: they'd be one and one with a blood against the

135
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: Falcons and a close loss to the Niners. Be like, okay,

136
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit after seeing them play for

137
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: the most part there who I thought they were, which

138
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: is really strong up front on both sides. I think

139
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to figure out how to actually use

140
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts his legs because even though he ran a

141
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: lot last week, it wasn't really schemed up. And when

142
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: they needed to come up with a play to get

143
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: a first down in short yardage. They couldn't really do it. Um,

144
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: But I love this matchup if I'm the Eagles when

145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: I have the ball against this Philly, this Dallasty line.

146
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: I know they played hard last week. Michael Parsons is

147
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: is a star and can play defensive end and rush

148
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: the passer. But they might be without Dorn's Armstrong, who

149
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: has been, you know, their best defensive end. I guess

150
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know because they don't have Lawrence Gregory

151
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: comes back and I don't know. That seems like a

152
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: little bit of a mismatch, and I think like that

153
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles could grind them up a little bit. It

154
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: was also a game of attrition for the Eagles. Uh,

155
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: they suffer a huge setback. It's a team that really

156
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: their strength is in the trenches. You lose Brandon Graham

157
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: now for the season with an achilles injury, so that

158
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt. And then on the other side of

159
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the ball, Brandon Brooks, their right guard. He goes down

160
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: with a peck strain that moves. He's going to the

161
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: i R. They don't think it's season ending, but he's

162
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna be gone at least three weeks. So that concerns

163
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: me as well, because if if, if their strength is

164
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: in the trenches and you're you're weakening on both sides.

165
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: You start to balance out a team that isn't hyper

166
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: talented to start with, you take away from their strength

167
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: and what's left. Of course, Landon Dickerson, my boy, the

168
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: second round rookie pit uh second round rookie is now

169
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: getting more playing time. He didn't play very well his

170
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: first go around here in week two, but now he

171
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: has a week to prepare. I I think at least

172
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 1: their positions there deep at I mean they drafted a

173
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: guy high in the second round. Hopefully you can fill

174
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: in and Graham at defensive and that's a huge loss.

175
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: He's kind of their locker room leader going back ten

176
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: years now. I mean he's played next to Fletcher Cops

177
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: Cox ten years. Cox is getting emotional after that game,

178
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: so you do worry about that. But they are deep there.

179
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: They just signed Josh Sweat to a big contract they

180
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: um of course, like Derek Barnett, who's in the final

181
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: year of his deal. Like I'm not worried. Javon Hargrave

182
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: is playing like one of the best defensive lineman in

183
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: the league. I'm more worried about, you know, can they

184
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: stop Cooper who's a little banged up, and Ceedee Lamb

185
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: and this Dallas offense who seems like they can kind

186
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: of do whatever they want and they look good on

187
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line so far. That's been a big takeaway

188
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: from me, as Tyrann Smith looks like the old Tyrant Smith. Uh.

189
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: The right tackle Steel who filled in last week for

190
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: Colins played pretty well. And that's a concern because the

191
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Eagles defense, which we don't know much about, they're supposed

192
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: to be built on like preventing big plays and and

193
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: they've done it so far through two weeks. They've given

194
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: up one play over twenty yards, which is crazy, um

195
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: and now doing it against Dallas that's another. That's another

196
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: What is it can of fish? That's another type of fish.

197
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't know. No candle worms, can of worms. I mean,

198
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: there's a cattle of fish. I picked them to win, though.

199
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: The Eagles are going to be the team that kill

200
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: me in my you know, when you're keeping track of

201
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: the picks on NFL dot com, because I keep picking

202
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: them to win upsets. You got them winning out right,

203
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: I got the I got the Cowboys in this game.

204
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: And one thing to watch here Tony Pollard coming off

205
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: a one yard game, what is the workload? How do

206
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: they share that with Zeke? Is it's is going to

207
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: turn into uh something where they're there's a committee involved here.

208
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: It is it was last week, and people need to

209
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: calm down on killing Zeke, like they gotta make smaller

210
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: the number one game like playing five. Splitting up is

211
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: a good thing to do. But if you're splitting it up,

212
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: it's not a good thing for the Cowboys because that

213
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: means Zeke isn't special anymore. That's it's it's a it's

214
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: an admission that he's not. They were. They had a

215
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: special running game last week, and okay, Zeke was like

216
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: less spectacular. But that's what you want is two really

217
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: good running backs and they just keep coming at you.

218
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I felt like they could have run all

219
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: day last week. I do not think they'll be able

220
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: to do this week. We'll see what the Cowboys do.

221
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Look what the Browns do they have? They

222
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: have Nick Chubb, a guy that they could give the

223
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: ball times too, and he's probably gonna have a hundred

224
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: and sixty yards every game, but they choose not to

225
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: because they want to. They want a closer at the

226
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: end of the game, and then they want a battering

227
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: ram that's healthy in January, and Kareem Hunt allows them

228
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: to do that. All right, Sunday Night football, Green Bay

229
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: Packers at San Francisco Fort. Now we're talking. I love

230
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: the poppy games, but this is next level. What do

231
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: you think about this game? I mean, I like to

232
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: start with the whole La Fleur Shanahan thing. Doesn't this

233
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: feel like a big moment for the boy in the Beard,

234
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: because like Kyle Shanahan is just like Mike Shanahan is

235
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: turning into one of the most influential coaches of his

236
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: era because every one worked for him at some point.

237
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: They were all just trailing around wanting to be like Kyle.

238
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: And then Old Kyle, as Mike Silver reminded us today

239
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you should check out this you know thread

240
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: he had. Old Kyle called up the Packers and tried

241
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: to get Aaron Rodgers out from under him. They're supposed

242
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: to be friends. This creates some problems. At some point

243
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: the news comes out and I wonder if that's a

244
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: little where the tension lies is like who's leaking this,

245
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: who's putting this out there? This undrafting and Silver has

246
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: all this stuff between them, And then you think back

247
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: to the La Fleur's first year NFC championship. Here I

248
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: go against my mentor and I got blown out. I

249
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: got the doors blown off because off if the Packers

250
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: can't beat the forty Niners now with a lot of

251
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: injuries and this and that, like that says a little

252
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: something about where they're at. Yep, And we talked about

253
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: it on Tuesday's show. The Packers obviously turned it on

254
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: against the Lions, but I can't say that I feel

255
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: completely at ease if I'm a Green Bay fan that

256
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: things are under control now. But now you have a

257
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: big test and with with the San Francisco forty Niners,

258
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: I have to ask you this, do you think when

259
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and I'm watching that game, I'm watching the

260
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Eagles game and I know he led a couple long

261
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: touchdown drives and you know they won the game. So

262
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a panic situation, but do you

263
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: think there's a similar vibe with Kyle Shanahan now when

264
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: he's on the sideline and they cut to him when

265
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: the offense is on the field, the same type of

266
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: vibe that Sean McVeigh had last year when he's watching

267
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: Jared Goff and you know, and it's it's born out

268
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: because of what happened in the offseason that followed when

269
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: he kicked Golf out the door as quickly as he could.

270
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: He's watching it like he's like, this offense could be

271
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: so much more special if I could just have someone,

272
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: if only there was someone. But there is someone. But

273
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: he didn't even play Trey Lance last Sunday. I'm gonna

274
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: go deep conspiracy theory here and think like, if there

275
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: ever was a game to save Trey Lance for really

276
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: break them out, this is it. Because you think about

277
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: this Packers defense and they've got a little bit of

278
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: new scheme disease, which is like when you get the

279
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: new coach and you got the new scheme, and it's

280
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: they're trying to be a little too complicated and then

281
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: they immediately say, well, we're going to simplify, Like that's

282
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: always a bad sign. They're trying to communicate. Who's going

283
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: to test your communication more than Trey Lance. This is

284
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: the week to play him. So yes, I think he

285
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: is thinking all of those things. I think that's why

286
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: he drafted Trey Lance. Lance maybe isn't quite as ready

287
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: to be the starter as he would have loved coming

288
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: into this season, but I think matchup wise, this is

289
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: a much easier one than Philly, who I think could

290
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: be one of the better defenses in the league. And yeah,

291
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: play me some Trey Lance this week. We want to

292
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: see it on Sunday night. We want to hear like

293
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: Chris Chris get breaking up down all the stuff and

294
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: now going crazy like this is it. That is the

295
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: analysis people come to see. That is why they tune

296
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: into a t N every week. I mean it though, like,

297
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: does this feels like the big moment where it's like

298
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: we're unveiling Tree Lance to it make the offense more Blosi.

299
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean that that if this guy is ready to go,

300
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: then we'll see it. And we're getting gonna get to

301
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: the sho Chicago Bears on a little bit because their

302
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: first round quarterback is about to get in action, whether

303
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: he's ready or not. Um, all right, there's the primetime

304
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: games and I, by the way, no Elton Jenkins potentially

305
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: in this game, their left tackle who would be trying

306
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: to go against no Nick Bosa. We don't know Jenkins

307
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: status and but it doesn't sound great and that that's

308
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: a big loss because then you're down to your third

309
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: string left tackle by the week three. The forty Niners

310
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: aren't quite as scary as they were when a yuk

311
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: is in detention and they've got like four different running

312
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: backs injured. But it does sound like Mitchell will probably

313
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: play this week. Maybe Tray sermon too. So I like

314
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: the forty Niners here. Yeah, that's a tough one. I'll

315
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: go Packers, but I do not feel strongly. All right,

316
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: let's get now to the draft element of things here, Greg,

317
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: I will see to you the first overall pick. I

318
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: think it was my turn, alright, because I've been I

319
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: was thinking about this on my run this morning. Really

320
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: be the pop culture trivia back in Week one, you

321
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: came in third place, so you guess it's your turn.

322
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of strategy because it's tough. There's one game,

323
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: but sometimes you just gotta take the best game on

324
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: the board. You gotta take bucks rams. I don't know

325
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: what the NFL is doing. They always front load these

326
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: best matchups possible early in the season, we got Chiefs

327
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: Rams Week two, Bucks Rams Week three, we got Troy,

328
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: Troy and Joe. I think I know why, by the way,

329
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: I have a theory because it doesn't make any sense too.

330
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: You would think to put these games all front loaded,

331
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: when they'd be better and the team's even better and

332
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: the stakes would be potentially higher late in the season.

333
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: But I think it's just like like the power rankings,

334
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: I write QB index is probably the same way um

335
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues. Everyone is so much more involved because everyone

336
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: still believes in their team, so you have to get

337
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: the biggest number you're gonna get. Everyone's still in on

338
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: football and big there's less chance of something in bad happening,

339
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: like the Rams being poor or Tom Brady getting hurt,

340
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: but that doesn't happen because Tom Brady is a cyborg.

341
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: I just don't have a feel for like either of

342
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: these teams yet, but especially the Rams. Stafford's dropped back

343
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: to past fifty nine times. That's less than I think

344
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: every single starting quarterback in the league. The defense, like

345
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: think we think that the Rams defense is great, probably

346
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: will be. I mean it has great players. They've played

347
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: the Colts, they've played the Bears. They've only forced three punts. There's,

348
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: like my little stat there's been like a lot of

349
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: long drives against them. I just want to see these

350
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: two teams like their Their past protection has been really

351
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: good and if you protect Stafford, he's probably gonna be great.

352
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: But there's been some surprises. I think out of both teams.

353
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: Tristan Worse is struggling for the Bucks. There's no Antonio

354
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: Brown for this game. The Bucks defense hasn't looked as good.

355
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: It's so early. I just I feel like I need

356
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: to learn more about these teams. In what better way

357
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: than to have the Rams, especially tested like this at home.

358
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying about the Bucks that the

359
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: defense hasn't put it together yet. Uh and yet, And

360
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: this isn't breaking any new ground because everyone is amazed

361
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: by it every week. I just Tom Brady is playing

362
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: at such a level right now. Is Tom Brady in

363
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: the best quarter? Where is he in your QB? And

364
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: I put him one this week? I think he's number one.

365
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: I think he's the best quarter. It's either him or

366
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: Homes And for these two weeks it's been Brady. And

367
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: then I thought, well, for the last seven weeks, last

368
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: year was Brady too, So you go to who do

369
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: you take for the next five years? I take my

370
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: homes but that's not even a slam dunk at this point.

371
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: But who do I take right now? Brady is just

372
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: playing so out of his mind, So I just it's

373
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: hard to pick against the guy that's the best quarterback

374
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: right now. Um, and he covers up a lot of things.

375
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: And I think even if Antonio Brown is not playing,

376
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: you have so many players there to make to to

377
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: pick up the slack. Yeah, but let's just call up

378
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: Scotty Miller, who has been awesome. They're they're fine. Scotty

379
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: Miller was kind of a guy in the rise until

380
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown took his role last year. But I think

381
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: they'll be find the rams. Yeah, I I kind of

382
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: struggle with them trying to. I have him in the

383
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: top five in the power rankings because you see it

384
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. But establishing a running

385
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: game is important, and you know, I think I think

386
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: they'll be okay. Though. You know who I really like

387
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: is um Cooper Cup. I think Cooper Cup, I mean

388
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: you might have a chance. I think I think the

389
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: number Stafford is gonna put up. If he plays seventeen games,

390
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: he could be an All Pro this year. I think

391
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: Cup could be an All Pro. I think those two guys,

392
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: you could tell they're locked in and just putting together

393
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: those one yard weeks and just stacking them up. I

394
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: think that's uh, that can absolutely happen. And they could

395
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: do it against the Bucks too. He could he could

396
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: lead the league in receiving. You're right, Cups seems like

397
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: he's at another level. I don't know who I would

398
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: compare him to. Don't do it. Don't say Jordy Nelson. No,

399
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: but he's so good after the catch right now. He's

400
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: always been good after the catch, but I feel like

401
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: he's like getting even better. Uh. And you're right, he's

402
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball switch. Like I said, they've only

403
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: thrown they've only dropped back the past fifty nine times

404
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: in two weeks. They're like one of the lowest teams

405
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: in the league because they haven't had too They've been

406
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: so efficient. And in the Bucks secondary is a little

407
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: banged up, Murphy Button has been out, Davis isn't healthy. Like,

408
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: I think, there's just gonna be a lot of points.

409
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: I want to see Stafford though, in a position where

410
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: he has to keep up with Brady in a shootout.

411
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: To me, that will be sort of the first real

412
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: Stafford in l A like moment. I think we've had

413
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: it yet, first in l A moment. This is crazy.

414
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: This is Tom Brady's first ever game in Los Angeles.

415
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean it makes sense, but also WHOA, his career

416
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: started when you were and I were in college, and

417
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: people need to calm down about like, oh is Jalen

418
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: Ramsey gonna travel with Mike Evans like he's only been

419
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: in the slot. They are using Ramsey a lot differently

420
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: this year, but they'll do whatever they feel like he

421
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: can do anything. They did that in the first two

422
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: weeks because that's what made sense for them in those weeks.

423
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: If if locking down Evans makes sense this week, that's

424
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: what they'll do. And with the Bucks and as I

425
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: was saying, with Brady leading the charge, uh, so far

426
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: the season, they're averaging thirty and thirty nine and a

427
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: half points per game. He's throwing for almost three thirty

428
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: yards a game. He's got nine touchdowns in two weeks

429
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: in a pass rating of book not decide who to

430
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: pick for this game. The Rams started as a slight favorite,

431
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: and then you know that it moved to the Bucks

432
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: being a slight favorite because because more people are on

433
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: the Bucks. I took the Bucks for the most insanely small,

434
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: um pathetic reason possible, because I don't want the Bucks

435
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: to lose before playing the Patriots. So I just want

436
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 1: that's what I want to root for. Okay, I see that, Well,

437
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: we want to build. I mean, Tom Brady's dad's already

438
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: honking about how he feels syndicated, and uh, Alex Guerrero's

439
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: out there honking about how tellcheck can't keep up with

440
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: the time. It's already starting and we're like a week

441
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: and a half away. Yeah, Alex Grrero said that Bill Belichick,

442
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: and you know what, there might be something to this, Greggy,

443
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: and I know you like to bury this deep down

444
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: inside you, but the fact that he's still arguably the

445
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league, it's you could still be

446
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: on the Patriots. He never adjusted. Gero said, that means

447
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's telling you, Alice, he never treated me like

448
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: a man. He always treated me like a twenty year

449
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: old kid, even when I was thirty eight with six

450
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, And because Belichick wanted to have some type

451
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: of code in that locker room. It led to an estrangement.

452
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: That's all. That's all there, it's all leave it for

453
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: next Yeah. We had Tom Seniors on the Tom Current

454
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: podcast and he was like, you know, do you feel vindicating?

455
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: He was like, damn right, like they are loving this.

456
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna be They're gonna be spiking the football. I

457
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: see you, Tom Senior. I love time Senior. But when

458
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: I see those sources that are guess I know where

459
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: those sources close to Brady are. We just want That's

460
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: what I want. I want the Bucks to go into

461
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: if Foxborough undefeated and flying high and just to set

462
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: the best possible Patriots. But more importantly, we want Tom

463
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: Brady to get out of this game healthy. Well that

464
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: of course, which is usually he's only been really years. Okay,

465
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: before we move on, you're not gonna believe this. The

466
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: Westling Brothers also wounded animal game. They need to win.

467
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: They're owing two and there's a lock on the line

468
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: with Rams and Bucks. Let's hear from Nick Westling. Hey, guys,

469
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: after knowing two starts, some of the Westling Brothers wanted

470
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: to take an easy game this week just to get

471
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: a win under our belt. That's not exactly the way

472
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: we operate, is it. So we decided to go after

473
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: the biggest game of the week. We're talking about the

474
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: Bucks and the Rams. Mattie Stafford finally looking like the

475
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: quarterback we always knew he was. It's Tom Brady with

476
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: an offense loaded with talent and a defense that can

477
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: be stifling. But we're going up against the greatest defensive

478
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: tackle we've ever seen two Aaron Donald in that defense

479
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: have been mothering so far this year. And Chris always

480
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: told me never bet against Tom Brady, but I'm gonna

481
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: have to go against him on this one. And we're

482
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: locking up the Rams. Wow, I have you here. I

483
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: just wanted to thank you guys all for helping Chris

484
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: so much during his two fights with cancer and what

485
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: you're still doing for Kesha and Link. I love you

486
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: and hope you guys are well. And how about that.

487
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, he sounds just like Chris. Ah

488
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: he is Chris. I mean, anyone that knows Nick when

489
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: the two of them were next to each other, I

490
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: mean they looked the same, they talked the same, They

491
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: talk about honking Nick Nickel. They going nuts at night

492
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: I love I love that man, the best thing I

493
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 1: think if you can give me like I don't care

494
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: what it would be like if Tyson holy Field or

495
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: um Ali Frasier or whole Cogen versus The Ultimate Warrior. No,

496
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: don't give me ticket, front row tickets, any of that.

497
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: Give it to When Nick and Chris were playing cornhole

498
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: together and the talk was through the roof, all right,

499
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: I'll draft next right after this. All right, here we go. Uh, Okay,

500
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: you took the late game, which it's the best game

501
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: of the week non prime time, but also a mistake,

502
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: tactical mistake by you. I'm gonna let you know why.

503
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: Of course you're watching that game either way. I'm not

504
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: like that though. I just focus on you're not watching

505
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: bucks Rams. That's why I wanted to take That's what

506
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: I mean. I only focus on my games because I

507
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: have a hard time even doing that, all right, surrounded

508
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: by too much. I guess I'm just more advanced on

509
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: So I want to be able to like check that

510
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: box and not go back to have to watch it still.

511
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: And so I want I want all eyes on that

512
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: bucks Rams. I want the full experience. Well, I'm gonna

513
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: go to the early slate and go Chargers at Chiefs.

514
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: Oh and and it's the nance and Romo game. That's

515
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: a good job by me. And it's also a nice

516
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: little measuring stick game for the charge years and a

517
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: nice little how are we doing game for the Chiefs

518
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: who outlasted the Browns obviously in Week one and then

519
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: get picked off um by the Ravens in week two

520
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday night football in an instant class classic. And

521
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna look at that game and be like, oh, well,

522
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are actually in trouble now. Actually drove people

523
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: crazy the power rankings this week. I don't know what

524
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: it is. I don't know if it's just life is

525
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: hard right now. People are just so much anger that

526
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: I feel like they've ever been with power rankings in

527
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: my third year doing it now and you've only been

528
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: doing it for three years. We'll get to that in

529
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, um, but like, uh, they're so mad

530
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: that I kept the Chiefs at two. Just a level

531
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: of anger because I still think the Chiefs are fine.

532
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: I think to the best team in the a f

533
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: C there behind the Bucks. And the bottom line is

534
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: if Clyde Edwards Lara doesn't put that ball on the ground.

535
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: It's that's a whole different conversation. It only comes down

536
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: to his butt kerk kick the field goal or his

537
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: Mahome's going to the end zone at the end of

538
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: that game. Uh So, since the running back blew the game,

539
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: that stinks, But it doesn't change how I feel about

540
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs that they're gonna be able to score on

541
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: anyone that when the game's on the line nine times

542
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: that attended less something weird happened see Sunday night. They're

543
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: going to always prevail and in their building. I'm picking

544
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to win this game. But it is gonna

545
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: be fun, Greg, because you got Justin Herbert in this game.

546
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, who his head coach, as I said Tuesday

547
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: after a game and less in which Herbert through the

548
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: two interceptions, as if to say, hey, dummies, it's not

549
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: just about the STA statue. Brendan Saley said, Justin Herbert

550
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: was the best player on the field. Uh in that

551
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys, all pros all over the place

552
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: in that matchup. So you have Justin Herbert against Patrick

553
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes in Arrowheads. Seventy people put it in my vight.

554
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: I love. We get this matchup twice a year now.

555
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: Maybe my two favorite to watch. I don't know, Lamar,

556
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: I gotta throw Lamar in there. Uh, the two quarterbacks

557
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: I would trust most on third and very long. I

558
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: felt like Herbert was escaping third and eleven, third and thirteen,

559
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: third and fifteen all last week. Mahomes is the greatest

560
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: I've ever seen at that. Also, the two quarterbacks even

561
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: now that I would trust the most with a big

562
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: deficit to make a comeback. So if the Chargers are

563
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: down in this game, I just don't feel like they'll

564
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: be out of it, and we know the Chiefs are

565
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: never out of it. The Chief's defense, on the other hand,

566
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: you could like getting near the panic button with it.

567
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: I know they've played the pretty good offenses here the

568
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: first two weeks, great offenses, but that was kind of

569
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: a wounded Ravens team. I mean, you are giving up

570
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: at some point. These are NFL teams you're playing. You're

571
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: giving up six yards per carry this season, You're giving

572
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: it more than ten yards per passing the tent. You

573
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: you are statistically the worst defense in the league. That

574
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: that is partly about the opponent, but it doesn't get

575
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: that much easier this week. I am a little concerned

576
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: about what's going on on on that side of the ball,

577
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: because it's not just the contracts where Kelsey and Mahomes

578
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: and Hill are taking a lot of spots like the

579
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Rams do that. But I don't feel like the Chiefs

580
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of hits otherwise right now, and in

581
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: some of their linebacker group and some of their secondary

582
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: and some of their defensive line. I think it's a

583
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: pretty bad looking defense and that they've gotten into the

584
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: habit of winning these close games. They were not a

585
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: dominant team last year. They kept winning shootouts all last year.

586
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: They were like eight and nine and one in in

587
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: one score games last year, And like, that's what I

588
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: expect here. That this line started at eight, it creeped

589
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: to six and a half, and I like the Chargers

590
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: to at least keep it close. I would never pick

591
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs in Kansas City, but I just feel

592
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: like it's gonna have a crazy ending, just like the

593
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: last two Chargers games to your point, uh, And it's

594
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: just through two weeks, and this is gonna happen when

595
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: your first two games or thirty three and thirty six,

596
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: thirty five. But the Chiefs defenses last in yards per play,

597
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: last in big plays, which I believe the NFL or

598
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: next Gen dictates his plus twenties, uh tied for twenty

599
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: and red zone defense, Uh, they can't get off the

600
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: field and third down they don't have a real uh

601
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: twenty one and sacks last and rushing so they're getting

602
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: run on. Lamar Jackson doing his thing obviously shades that

603
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: as well, but so they need to get better in

604
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: that realm uh. And I think how about a little

605
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: Derwin James covering Travis Kelsey about that as a sun,

606
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: I said, I was on the James for Defensive Player

607
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: of the Year bandwagon. He looks open awesome. I love

608
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: the Mike Williams bandwagon. Right now, they are treating him

609
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: as a true X receiver, the true like Michael Thomas

610
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: in the Saints offense or Marcus Colston in the Saints

611
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: offense type of receiver. He has more targets in these

612
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: last two weeks, like in a two game stretched than

613
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: any point in his career, and he's handling it. That's

614
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: that's why I think the Chargers have answers and they'll

615
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: just go back and forth. It was a good choice

616
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 1: you got Romo, you know I'm gonna get fireworks. These

617
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: are the two times I want to save a game

618
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: for game pass if I feel like I'll be distracted.

619
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: But that's not really what I did here. There These

620
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks are the best at attacking downfield in the league.

621
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a lot of points. Uh. And

622
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: you know the Chargers obviously coming off a very disappointing

623
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: home loss to the Cowboys game, they don't want to

624
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: get in ahold and if the Chiefs are trailing late

625
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: in this game, it's gonna feel like a big game,

626
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: them not wanting to go to one and two in

627
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: a pretty good division. All right, there we go, So

628
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: I got that. Oh speaking of which, uh, speaking of

629
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: the power rankings Pat McAfee show, Uh, it came up.

630
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: They do a thing where they kind of go through

631
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: the ESPN Power rankings, and they were kind of trying

632
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: to figure out it was. It was McAfee and he

633
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: has his two buddies that do the show to do

634
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: the show with him. I guess they're like producer type guys.

635
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: One of them is a J Hawk at something, but

636
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if this wasn't Hawk, and they were

637
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 1: kind of picking apart the ESPN power rankings, and then

638
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: they kind of moved over to what's going on over

639
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: at the NFL. Let's hear let's hear that also. It's interesting.

640
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you get me take this for what it's worth.

641
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do a power ranking unless

642
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: you don't even ask Dan Handzus or Matt money Smith,

643
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: and these two different networks, obviously, I don't think they can.

644
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: They should. I don't think they can put their power

645
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: rankings together. But you're right, hand Zeus, hand Juice and

646
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Matt money Smith are the power ranchers. Yeah, like the god.

647
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: By the way, this has been an issue for me

648
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: since I started here because Schack called me hand Zus,

649
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: and now half the building and half the world thinks

650
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: it's hands Zeus. Um. That's why they went back and

651
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: forth trying to figure out what's hear the rest of this. Well,

652
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: I like hands Us because he's been doing this for years. Well,

653
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: these eighty one people that are honously voting on this thing,

654
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't think any of them are on the same page.

655
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't think we know any of them, but maybe

656
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: one of them has been doing as long as hand

657
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: us a chance handsers is the authority when to come

658
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: in the rankings? Who was? This is nothing to say

659
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: correct Stone, Thank you McFee and his buddies. And if

660
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: you guys need a fourth if you're going to Vegas,

661
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: like if you're going to top Golf, maybe you could

662
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: do some gambling at the casino, just give me a

663
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: call because it sounds like you guys are fun. Twenty

664
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: five years, been three and then I think about that

665
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: is like, it's my third year doing the Power And

666
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: then he's like, oh, they watched the TV show because

667
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: he's talking about money. Um, It's like, do I look

668
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: like a guy that's been doing Power rankings for twenty

669
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: five years on television? That's a problem. Anyway, Thanks for

670
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: the shout out, boys, you're up. That was great. Well,

671
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: now you've you've left it open. I've strategized. I wrestled

672
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: with it. But not choosing Saints Patriots feels like too

673
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: much of a I'm trying to be too cool for

674
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: school move because I don't. I sort of don't watching

675
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots live anymore. But these are my team. I mean, Jamie,

676
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: if you had told me five years ago, Jamis Winston

677
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: will be on the Saints, and he will be going

678
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: to New England for a game like That's the game

679
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: I want to see as much as any game all year.

680
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: It's like the most fascinating thing possible. I've been shaken though,

681
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: right You've you were shaken by that game. I was shaken.

682
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm shaken on on both friends. I don't know what's

683
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: going on with either of these teams, and that makes

684
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: sense if you look at the history of the Patriots,

685
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: they don't really turn into who they're gonna turn into

686
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: until October and November. But the Saints are very similar.

687
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: They they often finished very strong, they start slow. They're

688
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure out their roster, and I haven't figured

689
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: out anything through these two weeks because both of these

690
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: teams have struggled in areas you thought they would be good.

691
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: Number One, the Saints offensive line was a mess last week.

692
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: A lot of it was communication. Seems like the type

693
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: of things he could fix. Their tackles are awesome on paper,

694
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be this bad. But Jamis is gonna be tested.

695
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna send a lot of crazy stuff at him

696
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: to see if they could handle it. He had no

697
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: chance last week as as bad as he was, and

698
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: he was bad, he had no chance. The Patriots offensive

699
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: line has been pretty bad. The right tackle has been

700
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: a disaster. They're starting this guy, Sear Durant who they

701
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: picked up a couple of weeks ago. Trent Brown might

702
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: be back for this game. That helps, But Isaiah Win

703
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: hasn't played well. They've getten up, given up pressure in

704
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: the middle. It hasn't been good. Mac Jones didn't play

705
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: well last week. I think because he was trying to

706
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: get rid of the ball too quick. His version of

707
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson having a rookie freak out moment is just

708
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: dumping off four yard passes like after one and a

709
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: half seconds and not looking for open receivers like I'd

710
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: rather that type of freak out. But that was his

711
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: type of freak out, and that could absolutely happen again

712
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: against a very creative Saints defense who's getting healthier. They're

713
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna get Latimore back, their best player on defense, ceed

714
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: douce Back, who's extraordinarily underrated. That that changes their secondary

715
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: and there'll be a better defense this week. Uh. The

716
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: Mac Jones thing, okay, I could see your perspective on that.

717
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: I you know, I thought watching it live last Sunday,

718
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: and I gotta be that's a game I don't go

719
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: back to. If you're Jets fans, the entire future is

720
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: tied into this kid, and he throws four picks and

721
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: three and a half quarters, you're not going back to

722
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: the game. But I thought it was a conservative game

723
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: plan by the Pats, or maybe it wasn't. Maybe it

724
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: was conservative play by the quarterback, that's what he said.

725
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: He said he missed a lot and it wasn't shows that.

726
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: But honestly, unless you're like the goal here is to

727
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: absolutely blow the doors off the opponent, which I guess

728
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: it always is, that was fine because if the other

729
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: quarterback is imploding and giving you the game, you don't

730
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: need to get too cute. Just take the to six

731
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: win and get to the next week. I guess the

732
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: thing to keep your eye out on with the Pats

733
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: is if is if this becomes with their offenses where

734
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: they're just super conservative and it's in part because of

735
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks decision making, or maybe McDaniels isn't ready to

736
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: really turn the reins over to the kid yet. We're

737
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: going to see that in the coming weeks, And I

738
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: guess this will be a good game and a good test.

739
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: But also at the same time, if the Saints put

740
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: some points on the board, what is going on? We

741
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: know the jamis Winston issue, but Alvin Kamara now through

742
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: two games and I know lest we got away from them,

743
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: but I don't care if if if the game's getting

744
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: away from you or you fall behind, find a way

745
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: to get the ball in Alvin Kamara's hands. And he

746
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: has add one scrimmage yards through two games. That's a

747
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: few greatly since it's gonna rookie. Here's the thing that

748
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: when you play a team like the Patriots, Belichick trying

749
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: to shut down your number one weapon, it's gonna be Kimara.

750
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: The limitations of what Sean Payton did this offseason in

751
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: terms of not adding receivers allows defensive coordinators to get

752
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: really creative. You can blitz like crazy because you can

753
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: kind of trust the Patriots to guard Markey's callaway and

754
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: a little Jordan Humphrey and Deante Harris one on one,

755
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: so you can get creative upfront, or you can you

756
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: can do anything you can to stop Kimara and say, okay,

757
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: go beat us, because you're kind of afraid, like as

758
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: conservative as the Patriots have been, the Saints have been

759
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: more so. Jameis Winston's throwing like passes each week. That's

760
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: a bad it's a bad situation. Um. Alright, James White

761
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: is back though, that is one thing I want to say,

762
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: The old vintage James White is back. Uh. He had

763
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: some juice last week and that will really they have

764
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: an Their best players are at n He's gonna have

765
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: a monster Harris and White? Are there two best players offensive?

766
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Where Harris health was? He's he's fine, he's playing through it.

767
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: He looked good last week. The line's got to be better.

768
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: I don't understand why their line is struggling so much,

769
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 1: but it is. Ricky I figured out. But I actually

770
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: thought about this um with your locks because you took

771
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: a l last week with the Eagles. Um, and because

772
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: Greg was so hot the pants about it. Let's not

773
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: give you the week one victory um either, because you know,

774
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: let's not do that. Let's double weight this game one.

775
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: I think she just has one less game. That's that

776
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. You can't just make up different rules.

777
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: She was all right, all right, well listen, I'm still

778
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: the pants and now you're not just making up rules

779
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: where you give just I would do that any week possible.

780
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: And you can't just do that. You can't just do

781
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: you missed. You missed the first week that was yoursensese

782
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: make it, make it countable. And since you just brought

783
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: up you just brought up the you know, my l

784
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: with the Eagles again. Nick Sirianni at a press conference

785
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: just now showed up in t shirt that said beat

786
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: Dallas for his presser. Okay, so they're mad. They're coming

787
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: off a close loss to the forty nine ers. That

788
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: was a tough game to get through. And you know what,

789
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: me and my new my podcast partner calling Wolf Split ends.

790
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: The trailer drops tuesday. Check that out. I'm going to

791
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: go with the Eagles again. And if you're gonna put

792
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: double on it, no, I'm not allowing that. You can't

793
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: just this a significant advantage. You wouldn't much rather that.

794
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: What do you mean if she loses, because that would

795
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: mean she's made two picks and she's two and one

796
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: instead of one and one. How do I lose? I

797
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, we don't need to punish you where

798
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: whatever anybody says, he's going to say, no, no, I

799
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: think anyone that scored over a thirty nine on the

800
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: math test would understand how it's unfair. Now you're hitting

801
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: out at me. Yeah, well I'm locking up the Eagles again?

802
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: Well that was Is that okay? Greg? That's okay? I

803
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: picked the because well yeahs ready? You know what do

804
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: we talk about the games other rules? Can you like?

805
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: You should have him? You should have him? Ready? Well?

806
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: The press conference really just that didn't for you? The Eagles.

807
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: I I like the Until Erica finishes ahead of Greg

808
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: in the standings, she very well might, because she's gonna

809
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: dance on your grave, my friend. It's uh. I'm I don't.

810
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: I have no confidence whatsoever, but I never did uh

811
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: in this game? Um? Where were we? By the way,

812
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: the one last quick note on the Patriots, talk about

813
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: how far you've fallen as a Patriots organization, like how

814
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: far we are from Drew Brees and Tom Brady playing

815
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: in this game? Mark Slayrat is the analyst for this game.

816
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: We've had Trent Green back to back weeks. That is

817
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: a sign of where the Patriots have fallen in the

818
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: power in the whole situation. That's a tough stitch. Um,

819
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: all right, I'm up, alright, let's see hawmana hamana hammanah ah.

820
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: You can edit, edit this out and post definitely not.

821
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go, let's do it. Let's see what's

822
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: going on over here. Let's see what's going on the

823
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: a f C. South. My goodness. So we don't have

824
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz in this game. Double sprains, we don't think, so.

825
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure they got old double sprains wins.

826
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: I was told it certainly looked to me that Aaron

827
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: Donald sprained both his ankles with that takedown, but then

828
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: it was clarified that it was only one ankle that's

829
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: got sprained on the take that I don't buy it.

830
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they wanted out there that their quarterback

831
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: could sprain both his ankles on one play, on a

832
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: play that he he kind of you hate to blame

833
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: a guy for an injury, but that was sort of

834
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 1: a I'm gonna fight through the play even though Aaron

835
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: Donald is eating me alive, and how to protect hurt

836
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: a little more like if it was a different quarterback there,

837
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: they just falled out. They just got to protect yourself,

838
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: and you know, you said it. He plays with his

839
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: frantic energy now out and it's unnerving as a fan.

840
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: You're watching it, and I can't imagine it as a

841
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: Colts fan, how you feel it really is unnerving. And

842
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: he's out of the picture now, so it's going to

843
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: be Jacob Easton at quarterback. They they're trying to play.

844
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: They're trying to put out through the media that it

845
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: could possibly be Brett Hunley and Jacob Eason. But I

846
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: feel like they're Doc Carson Wentz if if wins doesn't play.

847
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: They're trying to have their cake. They're trying to eat it,

848
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: they're trying to bake it, they're trying to throw it

849
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: in your eye. I don't buy that they're gonna use

850
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: Hunley and east and that seems it's not a good situation.

851
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: And now I'm already like doubting that I took this

852
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: game because who wants to watch bad backup quarterbacks? But

853
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: I am interested in the Titans as a team. I

854
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: want to see where they are. The Colts, obviously they

855
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: need to win. They win, they lose back to back

856
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: home games to start their season. The schedule makers hooked

857
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: them up with back to back home games. If you

858
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: can't win back to back home games, you're in deep

859
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: trouble because you're gonna get sent on the road, probably

860
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: against a tough opponent. That's exactly what happens here with

861
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: a division rival in the Titans. Now, the question is

862
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: how good are the Titans because that obviously was a

863
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: unbelievable comeback UM in that game against the Seahawks in

864
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: Seattle to be down thirty to sixteen early in the

865
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and then just rip off the rest of

866
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: the points and win thirty three and Derrick Henry anybody

867
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 1: that was worried about the Big Dog, and there is

868
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: the Big Dog still. The big Dog is gonna the

869
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: carry's gonna wear him down. And after the last two years,

870
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: well maybe I guess we'll see at the end of

871
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: the year how it stacks up. But that looked like

872
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: vintage Big Dog in that game, especially that's sixty yard

873
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: touchdown UM where he just outran everybody. So you got

874
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: the big Dog. I do want to see Greg this

875
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: passing game. I want to see more play action. I

876
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: want to see kind of the old Arthur Smith offense

877
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: more uh in in effect with the passing game, but

878
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: in in general. The arrows up after that comeback now

879
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: can they start stacking some wins. I mean, you better

880
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: against Hanley and Easton. It's gonna be really bad if

881
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: you lose a home game. You got it. This game

882
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: is lockable, by the way. Okay, I will, I will

883
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: lock it up? You will? Yeah, I got it right here.

884
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I was not even on the borderline.

885
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: People are not The people in the Desert are not

886
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: thrilled with this Colts team. I think I'll go with

887
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: you because when you got the opportunity to go, he

888
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: and you take it. Although this is a bad sign,

889
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: I've switched by lock mid show, two straight shows away

890
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: from wins the losses. So I the Desert has this

891
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 1: at five, which surprises me. I thought would be higher.

892
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: Part of that is that the you know, the Colts

893
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: were competitive last week in the history, but that's surprising.

894
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: That seems to be holding out some hope for Carson Wentz.

895
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's coming out forty one touches most of his career.

896
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: Will he be a little tired after that? That could

897
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: be a problem. But the play action was was back.

898
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: I mean Tannehill, the play action god was back. I

899
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: did the numbers. He was nine of twelve on play

900
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: action last week for one sixty, I didn't do him

901
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: pff doesn't. But then I take them and then I

902
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: take the credit. Uh in the three and complacence were

903
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: drops and he's got still got that deep all. I

904
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: feel like this Titan season is just kind of be

905
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: a test of like how far can four guys carry

906
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: the rest of the roster, because I'm not really sure

907
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: how good the rest of the roster is. But my parents,

908
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: my worry about Julio was overblown. Um my worry about

909
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: this Titans defense is not that's a problem. I don't

910
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: think they played that well, but they did put up

911
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: five thirty one yards ultimately against the against the Seahawks,

912
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: I am more concerned though the Colts can't run them

913
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: the goal line. They've had struggles running and their defense,

914
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: who is known to like not give up big places,

915
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: is giving up a ton of big plays. Not not

916
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: not a fan, early early pick. What's up? Um Titans fan?

917
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: You got your own Titans podcast titled titled The Music

918
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 1: City Audible, Greg, we took your advice, moved to Wednesdays. Nice. See,

919
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: sometimes it's like you're being too like you have too

920
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: many Boston it's just the way. Sometimes it's like good

921
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: to get advice. It's good advice on the surface for sure,

922
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: and good good. What do you think about the Titans?

923
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: Are you feeling right now compared to last week? Obviously

924
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: a lot better? Uh? This is this a slaughter situation

925
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: or do you think this is going to be closer?

926
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: Because I think the reason the desert is not the

927
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: way you might expect is because people put a lot

928
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: into the wounded animal game and thinking the cults with

929
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: a good thing the Titans, well, yeah, yeah, that the

930
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: Colts always play the Titans. Well. I feel like division

931
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: games are always kind of weird, and the Titans traveled

932
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: pretty far last week. That big comeback wins sometimes you

933
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: have a little letdown type of game after that. So

934
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: I feel like the Titans should win, but I don't

935
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: expect them to dominate. Actually, I feel like Frank Greig

936
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: is a good coach. He's going to have that team

937
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: ready with a full week to prepare for whoever his

938
00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: quarterback is. That's fine if Jacobson can play and they

939
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: scheme up open throws Whence is. Actually, I think played

940
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: fairly well the last couple of weeks, despite you know,

941
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: kind of the tone we've had around him. So the

942
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, receivers will be open. But I don't know. Alright, Uh,

943
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: let's move on, Greggy, thank you, great bigger m hmm.

944
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Cincinnati Pittsburgh. There is this was the game. Um,

945
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna lock up for the Steelers. There's so

946
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: many injuries situations hanging out there right now that I'd

947
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: love to know if t J. Watts playing. M I'd

948
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: love to know if Ben Roethlisberger is playing, but I'm

949
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: pretty much assuming that that he is. Uh. Deonte Johnson

950
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: sounds like he is probably out for this game. Devin

951
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: Bush is probably back in for this game. Joe Hayden,

952
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know about Alex Highsmith. I don't know about

953
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: When we look at the Steelers struggling last week, I

954
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: think it got a little lost in the t J.

955
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: Watt injury that. Oh, by the way, they're missing like

956
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: five of their best defensive players Stefan two. It's on

957
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: I R. Hayden's easily the best cornerback in a rough secondary.

958
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: High Smith is you know, basically a starter in terms

959
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: of their pass rush and pushes their best you know,

960
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: inside middle linebacker type, off ball linebacker type. That's a lot.

961
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: I think it needs to be put into context. It

962
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: sounds like most of those guys will be back this week,

963
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: including what I think this defense, if they have their guys,

964
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be enough because I have a lot of

965
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 1: concerns about Joe Burrow. Burrow right now, I am curious, like,

966
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: what are your Joe Burrow feelings after a couple of weeks.

967
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm worried. I'm worried that they have not fixed the

968
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: pass of the past protection and it's gonna get him killed.

969
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: And it's it's something we all talked about entering the season,

970
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: and you saw it again. Uh in Week two he

971
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: took a lot of hits, was sacked a bunch, was

972
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: hit a bunch more, and um, I think the problem

973
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: with Burrow, I think is if you can tinue to

974
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: have issues protecting him, he's going to it's going to

975
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: affect his maturation as a quarterback and he's gonna develop

976
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 1: bad habits and the turnovers are gonna stack. Now, he

977
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: did throw the three turnovers um or the three interceptions

978
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: on three consecutive passes, but that's not who he's been

979
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: in his career. Not in college, not to this point

980
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So I'm not like, I'm not worried

981
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 1: about all of a sudden avalanche of game changing negative

982
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: players with him, But at the same time, it is

983
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: it is on my radar that they are not protecting him,

984
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: and that led to um a functional breakdown in their

985
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: offense in the second half. I think a lot of

986
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: it's on Burrow, though, I mean, yes, the offensive line

987
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: hasn't been great, but it was one of the reasons

988
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: why I was worried about him going into this year

989
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 1: is so much of his game is escaping the pocket

990
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: and creativity and kind of making plays up as he

991
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: goes along, and I think he's a little gunshy right

992
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: now to do that. That's sometimes he's sort of the

993
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: opposite of Carson Wentz. He's taken those sacks, He's going

994
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: down any should to protect himself, but he's gonna have

995
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: to come up with some sort of balance where he

996
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: tries to make some more plays. He took a couple

997
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: of sacks where I felt like last year there's no

998
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 1: question he would have tried to escape and make a play.

999
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: And they're actually the number two team in running the

1000
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: ball in game neutral situations, which is kind of a

1001
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: weird staff. But basically, if if the game is not

1002
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: a blot in one way or another, how much are

1003
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: you running it? And their number two behind the Ravens.

1004
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 1: So I feel like they're trying to protect Joe Burrow

1005
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: as much as they can and that it's a hard

1006
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: way to win that way, like these low scoring type

1007
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: of games. And there were some you know, rumbles or

1008
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: murmurs out of Cincinnati, Jamaar Chase lamenting, uh, not enough

1009
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: deep shots against the Bears. Um Callahan, Brian Callahan. Does

1010
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: anybody know that offensive coordinator of the Bengals is Brian Callahan.

1011
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: I think Zach Taylor's calling the plays though, But he said,

1012
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 1: I understand the frustration. Yeah, the structure of that defense generally,

1013
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: that's Vic Fongio's system, is to limit big place. So

1014
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: they were saying, listen, the reason why we didn't push

1015
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: the ball downfield in that game was because that's what

1016
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: Fogio does. He wants to keep everything in front of you.

1017
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: We'll see, this will be a good tests. I think

1018
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: this could be a low scoring game here, and I'll

1019
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: tell you the Steelers, I'm a little worried about the Steelers.

1020
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: I think if the defense can stay together physically, they're

1021
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna stay in a lot of games and be a

1022
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: team that's on the making a playoff push. But this

1023
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: big Ben offense, I don't know. Man. They tried throwing

1024
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: it deep last week a ton eight times. Did not

1025
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: did not work. I think they'll bounce back. All right,

1026
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: let's take a break and then we'll be back with

1027
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: the next pick. All right, I am up. I will

1028
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: do do do do do do do do do. I

1029
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: will take Jets and Broncos. Two things here. Watch. What

1030
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: do you think about Zach Wilson. What did you take

1031
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: out of that game? That the Patriots made a couple

1032
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: amazing interception Two of those first three were incredible defensive

1033
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: plays that I think, you know a little to blame

1034
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: don Zack Wilson, just because like those are incredible play

1035
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: place by like a veteran secondary. But after that that

1036
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: he kind of fritz out that he just started throwing

1037
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: some things up. He had a couple of really nice

1038
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: throws in the fourth quarter. Um, but that they they're

1039
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: setting coverages at him that are slowing his mental process

1040
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: down and he just started throwing it up. My concern

1041
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: is if the schedule gods have any gods of any

1042
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: kind were cool to the Jets, Uh, they would get

1043
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: a nice little and get the Jags this week, or

1044
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: maybe they would get the Falcons, who they get in London.

1045
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna be there to see that game. Said, you

1046
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: get the Broncos in Denver who just chopped up and

1047
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: spit out Trevor Lawrence, the number one overall pick. So

1048
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: my my concern here is that this is going to

1049
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: snowball a little bit. Um, And I just hope if

1050
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: he does end up taking another um, you know, he

1051
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: gets humbled once again here, and hopefully it's not in

1052
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: the meltdown that we saw the Patriots where he ended

1053
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: up with four turnovers by midway through the third quarter.

1054
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's not that type of situation. But even if

1055
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: this ends up being another game where they don't score

1056
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: more than you know, ten twenty points, um, I just

1057
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: hope it's not something that sets him back for a

1058
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: whole season. So they need to they need to do

1059
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,959
Speaker 1: the things that they can do to help them the Jets,

1060
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: which they did against the Patriots. They protected they protected

1061
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: him better, They gave him a running game. Uh, they

1062
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. They got the

1063
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: ball back to him repeatedly and gave him a chance,

1064
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: uh to fix his day. It just wasn't gonna happen.

1065
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: So the Jets, I thought it got lost in in

1066
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: the shuffle a little bit. And all the other power

1067
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: ranks out there, it's like, oh, Bury, the Jets last

1068
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: in the league and all this stuff. It's like, well,

1069
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: if you watch the game, it was Zack Wilson who

1070
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: wasn't competitive in Week two and they didn't look like

1071
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 1: two teams that were like one team was better than

1072
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: the other. Right, So the Jets need to take that

1073
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: effort as a team to Denver, and then Zack Wilson

1074
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: needs to be better. And then the Broncos side of things, Um,

1075
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: I think this is just gonna be fun to watch

1076
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: if they're going to really set themselves up well here,

1077
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: if they can start their season get off to a

1078
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 1: three and oh start you know who knows we just

1079
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: talked about the charges. Greg, you love you love the

1080
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: Broncos so much that you think they could be a

1081
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen win team. Well, if that's who they

1082
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: are and and they're gonna get they're gonna get to

1083
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: three and oh here most likely, uh, maybe the Chiefs

1084
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 1: are gonna slip up enough like they did in a

1085
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: week two, or this turns into a division race. I

1086
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: like the problem is like every time I say a

1087
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: number like that, it goes up one every time. Like

1088
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 1: I think it started at a level ten to eleven.

1089
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 1: Then it was like eleven and twelve. Nownts to off

1090
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: the thirteen. It's like, I appreciated you calling me out

1091
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: when I said the Texans were like the best team

1092
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: in the league through six. I just get it. It's

1093
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: because of because what are you talking about? It's because

1094
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm excited about them. Twelve wins, I think is a

1095
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: realistic goal. With this defense, Vic Fongio forces quarterbacks into

1096
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: holding the ball the extra half second and and forcing

1097
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: them to overthink. You saw it with Lawrence, He saw

1098
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: it against Daniel Jones. You'll probably see it. I am

1099
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: disappointed in the lack of advantages. It seems like the

1100
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: offense is giving. Zack Wilson there was a lot of

1101
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: excitement about this offense and the coaching staff on both

1102
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. I think if you look at

1103
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 1: the defense right now, they're coaching up that defense. They're frisky.

1104
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: The Broncos are ten n half point favorites in this game.

1105
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: To me, that's too much, because I think the Jets

1106
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 1: defense is too frisky, uh to just give away that

1107
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: many points against it. I mean, they're playing guys that

1108
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: were cut from other rosters as starters and they're playing

1109
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: pretty well. Like Colbert from the Patriots, I was like,

1110
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: oh wait, he's a starter for the Jets. I didn't

1111
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: realize that, like he was on the Patriots two weeks ago.

1112
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: Quincy Wilson's a bust in Jacksonville just got cut a

1113
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. He's starting for the Jets, and yet

1114
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: they look pretty good. They're good up front. I don't

1115
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: think the Broncos are gonna score a ton of points

1116
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: even in these great matchups. The last two weeks, they've

1117
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: still been kept in like the upper mid twenties. So

1118
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: I could see this being a little nerve racking for

1119
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: Broncos fans, but you just have to trust the Fongio

1120
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: defense to shut them down. The Jets have twenty points

1121
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: through two weeks. I like the Broncos here obviously, but

1122
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: I think this is of your Jets fan again and

1123
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 1: it's all incremental progress. You don't need to have a

1124
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 1: winning season, but you want to make sure there's development happening.

1125
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: Sala seems to be developing the defense through two weeks.

1126
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: Let's see if Wilson can bounce back. And Jamison Crowder

1127
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: by the way did not practice again today and they

1128
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: took the Pats the whole thing. It's like when you're

1129
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: the playing the Jets, You're like, Okay, let's take away

1130
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: their biggest weapon. You're like, what is it? It was

1131
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. And without Corey Davis, they don't have enough

1132
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: um that's helping Zack Wilson. So if the Broncos, who

1133
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 1: have great cornerbacks, Sir Tan had a great first start

1134
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: as a rookie, uh, if they can take away Corey Davis,

1135
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 1: there's not a lot there. Listen, we all like Braxton Burrios,

1136
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: but he is not Jamison crowd Why you see their

1137
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 1: leading it's a that's one of those things where it's

1138
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: a bad sign for your team. When Braxton Barrios is

1139
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: your leading receiver. You need crowder in there. He's a

1140
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: great security blanket for young quarterback. And where's Elijah More

1141
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: start making some plays? I know he got on the

1142
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: stat sheet. And Denzel Mims, I guess he's just not

1143
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: on the team really anymore. He was deactivated a week two.

1144
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: That's a bad look for the entire organization. And Joe Douglas,

1145
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: let's go Jets. Clean it up. Greg, You're up, all right,

1146
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go. The next best game on the

1147
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: board I think is Minnesota Seattle. We mentioned at the

1148
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: top how the Vikings are like most oh and two teams. Yeah,

1149
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna get drowned out by the Rams Bucks also

1150
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: at but this Vikings team, they could be two and out.

1151
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: They probably should be one in one in some way,

1152
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: but instead they're owing two. It makes it a classic

1153
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: cornered animal game. And I like what I saw to

1154
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: their offense last week. How could you not not just

1155
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: the Kubayak running game, which is now entering year two,

1156
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: you expected to really like ramp Up Man. It was cohesive.

1157
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: They freaking destroyed Chandler Jones and j. J. Watt and

1158
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: and Davin Collins and sim I mean they destroyed them

1159
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: on the ground last week. It wasn't all just Dalvin

1160
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: Cook making plays that intrigues me. Against Seattle, kJ Osborne

1161
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: you were wondering, where's the third receiver to step up?

1162
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: K J. Osborne is your number one receiver in Minnesota

1163
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,479
Speaker 1: in terms of yard he looked pretty good for two weeks.

1164
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: So it's a good offensive team. And I'm not sure

1165
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: what the Seahawks are, but I don't think they're a

1166
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: good defense. I think they're mediocre. So to me, it's

1167
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: a coin flip game. But I think give the Vikings

1168
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: a pretty good chance at home. It's so and football

1169
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: is crazy with this because the line between O and

1170
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: two and two and oh is so thin, and the

1171
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: Vikings just if they just execute a little bit better

1172
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: at the end of those first two games, they're in

1173
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: a great position. And that you know, everyone's thinking, Oh,

1174
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: the Vikings are back. They're ready to make a playoff run.

1175
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: Instead they're seasons online, uh in in week three. Um,

1176
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: so you gotta bounce back. You gotta find a way.

1177
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: This is you gotta you gotta figure it out and

1178
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: find a way. I think Russell Wilson's owned them for

1179
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: what it's worth. I never put much stock into this,

1180
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: but he is seven and oh against the way, and

1181
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: you don't like if you're a Viking study, you don't

1182
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: like that the Seahawks blew that game in Week two,

1183
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: because now the Seahawks also are extra motivated to bury

1184
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: demons from week two. You you want them to to

1185
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: find a way to beat the Titans and then go

1186
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: they're fat on the hog and get Minnesota's home opener.

1187
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean they were on the road twice. I give

1188
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of leader right.

1189
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: And the Seahawks defense, they're best players, Adams Wagner. They

1190
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: played eighty eight snaps last week. That's that's a lot

1191
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: of football. You've got to travel on the road. And

1192
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: the Seahawks offensive line is a little on my raider,

1193
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: haven't haven't been able to get a running game going.

1194
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: And Wilson again has one of the highest sack rates

1195
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: in the league. So it's kind of like a little

1196
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: bit of feeling of the same old Seahawks here. Yeah,

1197
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: I think the you're gonna see some big plays. And

1198
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett is you know, he's another guy that looks

1199
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: like an All Pro. They're gonna just games in the thirties.

1200
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: The cornerbacks are so attackable on on both sides. Kirk

1201
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: Cousins has been real good through two weeks um, and

1202
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: which isn't always a popular thing to say, because nobody

1203
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: likes Kirk. Now he's been great personally professionally otherwise, I'm

1204
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: sure his family loves him, and that's the most important thing. Um.

1205
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: That's a good game, and I think it's a total

1206
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: coin flip game. And I think the Vikings find way

1207
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: that's what I took to. Let's uh, let's go through

1208
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: the rest of these games now that we have our

1209
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: drafts set up here Falcons at Giants, all right, so

1210
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Jike's all right, Kenny, Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma. By

1211
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: the way, Mark Sanchez Vilma, I love that crew. Give

1212
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: me that crew instead of Schlais. I'm sorry Coogler and

1213
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez on the Seahawks Vikings Ho Sanche has been

1214
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 1: so far to you. You know, we're all in the

1215
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: same business here. They're learning. You see. You were talking

1216
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:34,959
Speaker 1: about me with like pregnant pauses, showing like a level

1217
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: of advancement you being in a place, and I was like, well,

1218
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, Mark Stune is best. We're all out enjoyed.

1219
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: I haven't enjoyed those broadcasts yet. Like the old Greg's

1220
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: just like slinging. I just hammered sla He's got the crossbow,

1221
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: just taking out everybody in the industry. Where's that guy?

1222
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: Bring him back? I mean, the best analysis Sanchez had

1223
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: was about how awkward it would be for Jimmy g

1224
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: to be hugging that would maybe that wasn't his game,

1225
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: but just he was talking about that, It's like, Okay,

1226
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: he's been there, He's been there in those situations. Um,

1227
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: all right, Falcons, Giants, this is who who? When he

1228
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: got two wounded animals, it's gonna be bloody, it's gonna

1229
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: be gross, and somebody's gonna end up dead. Uh. So

1230
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: that's that's the Kenny Albert john development game. It's at

1231
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: the Metal Lands. I really liked. We haven't talked about

1232
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: this game because the Giants because it was the Thursday

1233
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: night game last week. I mean, listen, they found a

1234
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: way to lose that game against Washington. I love the

1235
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: way Daniel Jones played in that game, and I'm not

1236
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna put too much into it because that's the whole

1237
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones experience. But it wouldn't surprise me if he

1238
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: stacks up two really impressive games back to back here

1239
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: and people start buzzing a little bit as we enter

1240
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: week four, Hey, is this the Daniel Jones season finally

1241
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: where he fulfills the promise? That's what I think is

1242
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a conversation on Monday after the Falcons get

1243
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: their ass beat. Lock that up, then uh the uh?

1244
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I do like the Giants in

1245
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: this game. They've lost too offensive linemen for the season

1246
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: already that I mean, it can't be good. Lemieux was

1247
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: one of them. Was Shane Lemieux, and Nick Gates was another.

1248
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. They're starting guys who just joined the

1249
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: team a couple of weeks ago. That's not great. But

1250
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I loved what I saw out of

1251
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, and I loved what I saw at Jason Garrett.

1252
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: For fifty eight minutes. It was a creative, aggressive game

1253
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: plan that took advantage of Daniel Jones's leg game. No,

1254
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: I get it. It was great, but I think everyone

1255
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: did until they got the ball with three minutes left,

1256
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: and then he talked into Jason. Well, that was the

1257
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: moment where I lost him, where he just he turned

1258
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: back into Jason Garrett and got very conservative with the

1259
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: game on the line, when all it really took was

1260
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: one throw to win the game. And then you go

1261
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett run run pass and it fell apart. But

1262
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: you gotta win this game. It's Eli Manning retirement Jersey game.

1263
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: You can this giant. You can't lose this game. You

1264
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: you did the ping pong and the you know, the

1265
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: the beer pong and Hackensack with Eli. He's your mentor

1266
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: do it? Who remember rookie year? They would show those,

1267
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: They would show those like clips pictures of Daniel Jones

1268
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: and Eli Manning like in in Hackensack drinking beer and

1269
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: they're like, say they are bros. Matt Ryan his his

1270
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: last in the league in average depth of targets. I

1271
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: know you love a dot he has thrown in in

1272
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: two weeks, He's thrown three passes over twenty yards and

1273
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: hasn't completed any of them. He threw one pass um

1274
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: early in the game in week two that just hung

1275
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 1: up and he had his receiver had a step. I

1276
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it was Ridley um and it just

1277
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: made you think, oh, okay, so we got something going

1278
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: on here. I think my prediction Leonard Williams has a

1279
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: big game and you're gonna see a lot of Matt

1280
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Ryan the the above, the shot on the wire of

1281
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: him flat on his stomach from week one. We're gonna

1282
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: see that again at MetLife Stadium. Up next Bears at Brown's. Okay,

1283
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 1: so Justin Fields is the starting quarterback. Andy Dalton's knee

1284
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: injury is not an a c L tear, but it's

1285
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: jacked up enough where Justin Fields is starting. But not,

1286
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: but the belief in Andy Dalton hasn't changed to the

1287
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: point where they're saying this is now Justin Fields's team.

1288
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 1: They're still letting it out there. It's Andy Dalton's job

1289
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: until we decide it's Justin fields job. But that also

1290
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: ultimately doesn't matter Greg because if Justin Fields place well

1291
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: in Cleveland this week gets done, it's done. They're just

1292
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: saying this. I mean, I guess he's leaving out some room.

1293
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: If Justin Fields was so bad and Andy Dalton gets

1294
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: quickly healthy, then you could change it. But that's what

1295
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: they said about Tony Romo and Dak Prescott back in

1296
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: the day. That was Tony Romo who was like a

1297
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: great quarterback who was their starter for eight or nine years. Well,

1298
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: what's his job when healthy? Well, then he's not gonna

1299
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: be healthy or they're just gonna have to admit it

1300
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: was a lie. I want to see Justin Fields move

1301
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 1: the ball a little better. I know Allen Robinson dropped

1302
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass, but it's got to be said they

1303
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: won that game because Andy Dalton had the best two

1304
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 1: drives of the game. He was the best quarterback on

1305
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 1: the Bears in that game. They both played, so like, yeah,

1306
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: that matters, matters a little. Well, it matters in the

1307
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: sense of like people just blindly saying screw Andy Dalton

1308
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: put in Justin Fields while they both played in a

1309
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: game that mattered and one look better than the other.

1310
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,919
Speaker 1: But that doesn't matter anymore in the sense that there's

1311
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: only one quarterback left to play. So I think they're

1312
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,479
Speaker 1: so freaked out about their offensive line that everything is short, short, short,

1313
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 1: and Dalton can do that. There's only one. The Bears

1314
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: have one play over seventeen yards this season, and this

1315
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: is a test for the Browns, who their defense rebuilt

1316
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: just hasn't looked any better this year. The secondary, the

1317
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: imported rams Troy Hill and John Johnson are off to

1318
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: slow starts. Clowney and Garrett I think are off too

1319
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 1: slow starts. So it hasn't come together. This is a game,

1320
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: and I know you don't know what's gonna happen with Fields.

1321
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: It's like put a bang thing on them, cover that

1322
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: cover those seven or ten points. I don't even know

1323
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: what it is, right, but I'm saying I'm liking the Browns.

1324
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: I think they will. I think they will. You think

1325
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: is we're going to bank Town on this game? Yeah,

1326
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: it's only seven. So that's weird to me that it's

1327
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: a smaller number by far than Houston. To to me,

1328
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: Houston has looked like a better team than Chicago. Uh.

1329
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: And I I know Chicago won that game last week

1330
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: and they look good on defense. I'm not It's not

1331
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: like they're gonna slow down the Browns. They're just not.

1332
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be thirty Ken Justin Fields keep up

1333
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: with a team that scores thirty, I just don't think. So. Yeah,

1334
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm nervous a little bit of him the Browns because

1335
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: you probably have a good chance of getting beat last

1336
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: week if you're the other quarterback Tyrod Taylors and blows hamstring. Um,

1337
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:43,919
Speaker 1: we'll see how Justin Fields looks. If Justin Fields looks

1338
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: good in the first quarter and they start to get

1339
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: a little juice and excitement. That could be a really

1340
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: tough game for the Browns. It helps at their home,

1341
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 1: all right. Ravens at Lions, Uh, this is a nice

1342
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: spot for the Ravens here. You have that emotional win

1343
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, and now you get the Lions who

1344
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: are showing greg through two weeks. They're gonna play hard,

1345
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: but they're just gonna get overwhelmed as long as you,

1346
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, put your will upon right. I was kind

1347
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: of thinking, like, what would the reaction be if Matt

1348
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Patricia had these exact two straight games. No one would

1349
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: be saying, well, they're playing hard. They would just be like,

1350
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia blows, defense blows, and this Lions defense is

1351
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: a problem. They it didn't look very good on paper

1352
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: and they look like they're going to be one of

1353
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: the worst defense in the league. That's asking golf to

1354
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: keep up with that. It's it's gonna be tough. But

1355
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: as we tape this. Lamar Jackson missed practice Thursday for

1356
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: mysterious reasons. He did he did. He was there for

1357
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: a walk three. Now he was there for a walk

1358
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: through on Wednesday and said his hip was kind of

1359
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: sore and wasn't there Thursday and there didn't. As we're

1360
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: taping this, they haven't said why if I can jump?

1361
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 1: If I can jump off? Yes, if I may so.

1362
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: A couple like two hours ago, Shufter said that he

1363
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: wasn't at this because yesterday his hip was sore from

1364
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: his t d Umi flip. Yes, but but Dan, but Dan.

1365
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: So then now it's coming out that it's a non

1366
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: COVID illness and he has a bit of a stomach bug.

1367
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: So you remember that game where he ran into the

1368
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: locker room. So yeah, Twitter is a is a wasteland

1369
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 1: rumper against the Browns. Yeah, so that they're thinking that

1370
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 1: basically he should be fine for for Sunday depending on this.

1371
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: That's good to know. If ever, there was like a

1372
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: hangover type of game, and I'm sure that's not why

1373
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: he's out hangover. Uh, wouldn't this be it? They kind

1374
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: of slay the dragon. You're going to Detroit, not saying

1375
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 1: they would lose, but that it might be uncomfortable cause

1376
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced this Ravens team is gonna be great.

1377
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: I know they put together a great performance. The running

1378
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: game was Wow. People get on Greg Roman. But oh

1379
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: my god, I I rewatched. I watched this thing in

1380
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: like they were doing things I've never seen before. It

1381
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: was infusing. It was blowing my brain, the type of

1382
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: motions and the way they're using their tight ends and

1383
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: full back. It was a lot that they threw out.

1384
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: He changes so much. Of course, he changes, not just

1385
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,839
Speaker 1: him I'm saying, but just what he does with an offense,

1386
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: and how defenses have to account for where he is.

1387
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden he's sticking in somebody else's

1388
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: gut and they're all looking at Lamar like he that's why,

1389
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: and like motion guys going one way and like man,

1390
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: they were like a two seconds late on so many

1391
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: of those runs. And Tyson Williams is a player. I

1392
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 1: love that way that he runs. He's I would take

1393
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: him over Gus Edwards just as a pure runner. And

1394
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're missing that much not No,

1395
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: he oh I don't need with running backs. You know

1396
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: he can run maybe just like Barry Gus. I didn't

1397
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: bury J. K. Dobbins by the way, the Lions are

1398
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 1: burying Jamie Collins. They said they're trading him. He's no

1399
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 1: longer showing up to practice. I'm only mentioning this because,

1400
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: like when Jamie Collins quits on you, I mean, he

1401
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,560
Speaker 1: really this is three teams. I don't know how to

1402
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: personally attack the guy, but it is three teams where

1403
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: the team has kind of been like, we're gonna get

1404
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: rid of this guy like now because something right and uh,

1405
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: you know, there were some questionable efforts when he was

1406
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: on the field in Week one. I wanna, hey, breakout player,

1407
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: it's happening, Hollywood. Brown he is, and he's building off

1408
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 1: to the end of the last season. He really has

1409
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: looked very good and that's what they need desperately. They

1410
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, I think he's given them what they've wanted

1411
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: so far. And Rashad Bateman when he gets back from

1412
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: the core muscle surgery, that's you know, you hope he's

1413
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna be able to have an impact this season. He's

1414
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: really behind now. But I really think Brown this could

1415
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: be the season he is a first round pick back

1416
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:46,719
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. I think this could be like yard

1417
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 1: eight touchdown season the Ravens thought they were getting because

1418
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 1: they seem to have some real chemistry. Um, let's pause

1419
01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: quickly for a break up. Next Cardinals at Jags. First,

1420
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 1: let's start with urban Meyer. Greg, you've been down in

1421
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 1: urban Meyer since he took the job. I don't know

1422
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: what it's about, but you're hardly alone. And a lot

1423
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 1: of people thought, oh, would he be able to be

1424
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 1: dominant in the college game or in the pro gaming

1425
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: like he was in college as he prepared to understand

1426
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: it's such a different landscape. Well, here's a little snippet

1427
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 1: from inside the NFL. Remember inside the NFL is still

1428
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: here of urban Meyer speaking with Vic Foggio ahead of

1429
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: a Week two matchup. A lot of players in this

1430
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: way round it's Alabama every week, and Vix like, yeah, yeah, dude,

1431
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: it is different. Yeah, I mean people are killing Erban

1432
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: Meyer for this, Like, but he's just saying every team

1433
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: is great. I don't think he's saying like every team

1434
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 1: is so good because Vick Vick mentioned this in his

1435
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: presser too. And they don't know each other, so like

1436
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: you don't think because they're pro you know, coaches and everything,

1437
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: and it's a different world. It's the same as like

1438
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,719
Speaker 1: if you were at the Are Cooler with Joe Blow

1439
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: after the show and you didn't know what to say

1440
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 1: and you just said, hey Man, this new office is

1441
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: real nice. Huh, Like that's what that's Urban Myers version

1442
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: of small talk. Hey Man, college was easy. It's the

1443
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: same thing. Uh. And he was on my radar from

1444
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the beginning because it just feels like there's a level

1445
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: of confidence, I guess would be the nice way to

1446
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:28,480
Speaker 1: put it in these college coaches who are like imperial

1447
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:34,639
Speaker 1: war lords over you know, their entire It's the media,

1448
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: it's the players, it's being the highest paid like public

1449
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: employee in the state. And and the fact that Urban

1450
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: Meyer also had all these Fox guys and some NFL

1451
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: network guys to have worked with them, who are like

1452
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,639
Speaker 1: in the stalladium, and it's like, all right, let's see

1453
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 1: how it goes. Like it's you know, you had these

1454
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 1: great players, we know you can recruit. You know, we

1455
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: did some creative things offensively at at in College, at

1456
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,759
Speaker 1: Utah and in certainly Florida and beyond. But it's like, okay,

1457
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: see how it goes and it's not going on. It's

1458
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: not The offense has been it's been rough. And uh,

1459
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: they had a hundred eighty nine yards total against Denver

1460
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: and again that's a very good Broncos defense. But even

1461
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: last year, seen the one one in fifteen, cleared that

1462
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: bar every week and uh Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence has seventy

1463
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: three of his A hundred and eighteen passing yards on

1464
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: the first drive. They don't want to ruin him. They're

1465
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:24,759
Speaker 1: so past happy. They're kind of the opposite of the Bengals.

1466
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: I know they have been behind in these games, but

1467
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 1: even early the first drives, like they are just letting

1468
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: him throw the ball. He he looks like he's like

1469
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 1: really inaccurate. But I think it's just he's late. I hope, yeah,

1470
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: that's that's what they've been saying, that he's just that

1471
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 1: he's just like kind of slow to see things, and

1472
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: so the ball gets there and the receiver is no

1473
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: longer in the place that he was supposed to be.

1474
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine, but their defense is a mess.

1475
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,600
Speaker 1: And I look at the things you worry about is

1476
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: when players that were good before aren't really that good now.

1477
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:56,680
Speaker 1: And Miles Jack has been a little bit lost in

1478
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:00,040
Speaker 1: this defense, getting picked on uh C J Henderson, and

1479
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 1: I guess hasn't done much in the past, but he's

1480
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: been lost to the defense. Being this bad is a

1481
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: is a bigger surprise and oh, by the way, you

1482
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 1: got you know, comfortable Kyler Murray coming in there and

1483
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: comfortable comfy Kyle. He just looks so at home in

1484
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: this system. That's the benefit of keeping the same coordinator.

1485
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: You know, we get on franchises for changing out coordinators,

1486
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,799
Speaker 1: whether you like Cliff or not. Like Kyler knows this offense.

1487
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,959
Speaker 1: He knows where everyone's supposed to be. Um new Copkins.

1488
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: Did not practice Thursday, didn't practice Wednesday. Uh, keep an

1489
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: eye on Friday. We're recording this on Thursday. But you

1490
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: do take some solace if your card spend knowing that

1491
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: Ron del Moore is developing at a high rate. Uh,

1492
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: seven of eight targets for one fourteen and a touch

1493
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. If he's still on your waiver wire

1494
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: and fantasy go get him. That's my little tip for

1495
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,959
Speaker 1: you fantasy heads out there. Let's move on the Washington

1496
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: football team at Buffalo Bills. Uh, what do you think here?

1497
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: I think that the Bills def ends is a problem.

1498
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: That if the Bill's defense in a good way for

1499
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the league, if the Bills wait for

1500
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: the Bills, it's a problem. The defense is playing well,

1501
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 1: it's a problem for the a f C East. It's

1502
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: a problem for the a f C. If they're this

1503
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: good man, it just gives them such a markin margin

1504
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: for error. And we're seeing that so far with Josh

1505
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 1: Allen in the offense, not quite quite being there, but

1506
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: people are kinda forget how good this Bill's offense has

1507
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: been at various points, and and Matt Milano is leading

1508
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: the way. I don't know if you have this experience,

1509
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:39,600
Speaker 1: dan Um, when players that West really loved are like

1510
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 1: popping on game pass. I had that with Kareem Jackson

1511
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: last week. I just you just think about him, you think,

1512
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: and because he was so early on Milano and he

1513
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: was so right, he kind of makes their defense and

1514
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: maybe West could see it all back then it wouldn't

1515
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me. But I feel like he's playing

1516
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 1: at a level now that is just mind blowing. That

1517
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:05,320
Speaker 1: is like Navarro Bowman in his prime, like changing the game,

1518
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 1: like all pro. Whatever you want to say. It's it's

1519
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: two games, but he has really stood out to me,

1520
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 1: and their defense to me, is just gonna be too

1521
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: good for Tyler Heiniki. I mean what they did to

1522
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: the Dolphins was that was was borderline cruel. And the

1523
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins building their home open or first time in front

1524
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:25,759
Speaker 1: of fans in two years. Uh too. Absolutely just steal,

1525
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: just steal their will with by the second series and

1526
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 1: and by the way, and we're gonna get to the

1527
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: Dolphins next. Um, that's a broken rib for to a

1528
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Now who's out of the picture. That's that's what the Bills.

1529
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: They can bully you, uh with that front seven. And

1530
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: now if you get the offense figured out, if they

1531
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: get airborne on offense and get to the level they

1532
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: were last year, that this is the team we've all

1533
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 1: talked on in the offseason. This is a super Bowl

1534
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 1: level team. How can the offense get there? We'll see

1535
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: and this might be a good matchup to do it.

1536
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 1: The Washington defense has been so disappointing through two weeks.

1537
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,640
Speaker 1: Young and sweaty. I can't get a nickname off the

1538
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 1: damn ground if you're not gonna take the next step, professionals,

1539
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: you know what, Sweat was pretty good in that game,

1540
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 1: actually pretty good. They haven't dominated, but it feels like

1541
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the defense is an even bigger problem,

1542
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: like the secondary, the linebacker group. This on paper, I

1543
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 1: think is a pretty good spot for Josh Allen to

1544
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: get right. Josh Allen is absolutely not shooting straight through

1545
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: two weeks. I don't you said should be panic after

1546
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 1: one week, I was like, Man, now that it's been

1547
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: two weeks, I'm like, okay, let's keep an eye on

1548
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 1: the third week. I don't think he He played about

1549
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: as bad as you can to win thirty five nothing.

1550
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 1: He had some great plays in that game, but he

1551
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: missed a lot of They disappeared. They kind won that

1552
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: game fifty six to nothing for for throughout after they

1553
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: had an early touchdown, the offense just disappeared for a

1554
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: long stretch there in. The defense just carried the day

1555
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,640
Speaker 1: by the way last thing because we've got to get

1556
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: out here in a few minutes. But the Washington football team, Uh,

1557
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: if there isn't a questionable hold that wipes out of

1558
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,799
Speaker 1: Daniel jones fifty eight yard touchdown run, If Darius Slayton

1559
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: can make a football play in a big spot on

1560
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,799
Speaker 1: an end zone drop when there was no Washington defender

1561
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: within twenty yards, you're looking at a monster Daniel Jones

1562
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: game on your team. Washington defense, it's supposed to be

1563
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league, so they got

1564
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: lucky and so many levels to win thirty twenty nine.

1565
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: In that game, it could have been a totally different

1566
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 1: game if the Giants just executed and got some um

1567
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: if a flag gets picked up finally, Dolphins at Raiders,

1568
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 1: Yes to a and you kind of felt this happening.

1569
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:39,799
Speaker 1: You felt a trending this direction all week that Okay,

1570
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 1: they said he just got banged up and he's gonna

1571
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: be okay, but no, Uh, he's got fractured drips. So

1572
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 1: he got hit three times hard and I think seven

1573
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: plays against the Bills. And now he's on the shelf

1574
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: and you have you're asking questions about his future, not

1575
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 1: just because he didn't look so hot in week one. Uh,

1576
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: and as a rookie. Now he's heard again, and that

1577
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 1: put you in a situation. There's no Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's

1578
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette going to Vegas. And this sets up really well,

1579
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Greg for the Raiders to get off to a three

1580
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,640
Speaker 1: and oh start. You know, I love me some Jake Brisket. Um,

1581
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: we don't have the Jake Brisket, but we do in

1582
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: our hearts. I'm I'm hearing it in my head. I

1583
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 1: hear it as well. He's back in the mix, but

1584
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,560
Speaker 1: him in this offensive line and slice me off a

1585
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: piece of that, Jake blisk, but we do have it.

1586
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: Don't shake your head. Well, no, I mean it's on.

1587
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: It's totally second. I knew that, but I just meant,

1588
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: like coming, I just went at some point while we're

1589
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 1: having to discuss she could have hypothetically in post just

1590
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: dropped it right when you said it. But then since

1591
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 1: you kind of called the producer out, so just now

1592
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: I have to address it. You know what I mean?

1593
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, slice me off a piece of that. I mean,

1594
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: it's all right, him behind this offensive line. It seems

1595
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: like a bad combination, don't you think. I mean, Jacobe

1596
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Procide is sort of famous for holding the ball more

1597
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: than any quarter act almost in the history of the NFL.

1598
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: How about a Max Max Crosby hat trick three sacks

1599
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,680
Speaker 1: this league? Right, So that's probably gonna happen. And yet

1600
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: I still think they'll be able to move the ball

1601
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: on the downs that you can't get some protection. Fuller

1602
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: might be back for this game, Waddle is still a player.

1603
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 1: I think it's the biggest test yet for the Raiders receivers.

1604
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm impressed by Byron Jones this year. Impressed by this

1605
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense. Don't think they played that bad last week

1606
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: despite the score. I think it's gonna be tough to

1607
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 1: find open receivers. You're gonna you can send a lot

1608
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: at Derek Carr. I don't think this is necessarily like

1609
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 1: a cake walk game here for the Desert and then

1610
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: the games of the Desert, the Desert sees. This is

1611
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 1: four points I took. I took the Dolphins to cover.

1612
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 1: I took the Raiders to win by a field goal.

1613
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: So you're not in because I have the Raiders at

1614
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: eleven and the power rankings and Raiders Nation. They are

1615
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: coming for me. I mean, they are so upset, but

1616
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 1: I guess me putting them outside the top ten, I'm

1617
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 1: I'm not totally sold that this is a juggernaut by

1618
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: any stretch yet. So but if you get beat by

1619
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: the Dolphins or the backup quarterback, if you need a

1620
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: late field goal to get to three, and though you're

1621
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: probably not a top ten teams, Dolphins are. Okay, I

1622
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: give the Dolphins. I'm not giving up on the Dolphins

1623
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: for one week though, And to me to it to

1624
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette isn't necessarily a downgrade, and that's a problem.

1625
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: That's a problem. I mean it maybe it is, but

1626
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 1: not from what we've seen, because it's wounded here. The

1627
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,599
Speaker 1: pride is wounded after last week. They're probably gonna come

1628
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 1: out and they have a really good head coach. Uh

1629
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: now I'm starting to come around a little bit, and

1630
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: they It is actually a great test, though, I think

1631
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: for where the Raiders are at, because this was the

1632
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,799
Speaker 1: moment last year where you realized it was all falling apart,

1633
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: or that it did officially fall apart. It was the

1634
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 1: day after Christmas you gave up that crazy drive to Fitzpatrick.

1635
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 1: Was a lot of bad luck in that game, but

1636
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have let them back in. And the Dolphins

1637
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,599
Speaker 1: were just felt like like a better coach team. Uh,

1638
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, show me I'm wrong. But Raiders fans, you know,

1639
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: they get worked up. But this these are just the facts.

1640
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 1: They got some good breaks when they played the Ravens

1641
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: week one, with the injury situations happening so late in

1642
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: the week, with Villanueva playing the right side, which you

1643
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: can't play in Stanley a shell of Stanley on the

1644
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 1: left side, and everything that happened, and they won that

1645
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: game in overtime. Good job, you played the Steelers last

1646
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 1: week and they were missing five of their best players. Again,

1647
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: Derek Carr's bawling out through two games has been top

1648
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:22,719
Speaker 1: five quarterback. But this is another good situation. Backup quarterback.

1649
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 1: Go take advantage, go get the three, and now let's

1650
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 1: see what happens. Let me see before we signed off here,

1651
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 1: I'm just curious what the Raiders have, because because the

1652
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: top of the schedule is pretty tough, you would think

1653
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 1: it might even soften here in October. Let's see they

1654
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 1: have at Chargers home, Bears at Broncos home, Eagles at Giants. Okay,

1655
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: so not really, it softens up. It's not, it's it

1656
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: softens up a lot of gimme's there. All right, good stuff.
