1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: The volume. 2 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 2: Delto championships. That should always be the expectation. All right, 3 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: man at you go ahead. Welcome back to the Richard 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: Sherman Podcast. And Mitchell a forty nine Ers win over 5 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys it seems like a annual occurrence nowadays. 6 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: The Dallas Cowboys started off really fast, physical, They seemed 7 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 2: like they were like the week off helped them. They 8 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 2: got healthier, But at the same time it all wore off. Mitchell. 9 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: It was like makeup. It was pretendo. They all the 10 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: energy they brought in the first half, the intensity they 11 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 2: were running the ball well, San Francisco hadn't been stopping 12 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 2: a run well, the Dallas Cowboys hadn't been running well 13 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: all season. But Ezekiel Elliott had his best half. They 14 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: were physical, they were talking like they were getting stops 15 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: on the defensive side. It looked like a team that 16 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: was determined to get a win. And then in the 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: second half it was like the San Francisco forty nine 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: Ers woke up, both offensively and defensively. They kept getting 19 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 2: penalties and shooting themselves in the foot throughout the game. 20 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel touchdown got called back because of a holding call. 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: Another big run got called back that Grindo had a 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: George kittle Holden call. But for the most part in 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: the second half, the defense made play Diamador and Lenor's 24 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: interception against Ceedee Lamb was fantastic play. Obviously friend of 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: the program. He's been having a tremendous career. His payday 26 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: is only increasing. I thought the San Francisco forty nine 27 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: ers would have been better off just paying him this 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: year this offseason, trying to get him one like a short, 29 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: cheap deal. But now as he continues to make plays 30 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: second game in a row, his last game was against 31 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs, picked off Mahomes. Now you pick 32 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: off Dak the two all pro quarterbacks from last season. Oh, 33 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: I guess. I guess Lamar was all Pro. But I 34 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: mean you talk about you picking off anytime you pick 35 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: off Pat Mahomes is gonna be a big deal. But 36 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: you pick off Dak his second or third multi interception game. 37 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: The second half was just filled with big plays, but 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: there were a few hiccups that I could a few 39 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: head scratchers. They were in mand the man covered JayR. Brown, 40 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: who had a fantastic game and a fantastic interception early 41 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: in the game, was running with the motion, running with 42 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 2: the receiver or running with Ferguson, and then comes downhill 43 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: trying to cover Ferguson man. The man is trying to 44 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: get closer to him at the snap of the ball 45 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: and he runs into Rinaldo Green and picks him off 46 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: and leaves Ceedee Lamb wide open. Now we know that 47 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: anytime there's a situation where the guy's in motion, you 48 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 2: give the corner the right away. He got the harder drive. 49 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: Your guy's probably running a flat, something low, something slow. 50 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. This is a tighty end. 51 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: It's not that hard of a It's not that athletic 52 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: of a guy. You got a corner who's guarding their 53 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: best player and you pick him off. You know, corner 54 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: always has the right away in that situation. I'm sure 55 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: that Nick is gonna coach that up and they're gonna 56 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: get that corrected. But I thought it was a fantastic 57 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: game from Diamador Nicholas. John Bosa made numerous plays throughout 58 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: the game put pressure on him. He calls the first interception, 59 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: putting pressure on Dak Prescott. The rest of the defensive 60 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: line made life hell for Dak Prescott throughout this game, 61 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: and offensively, Grindo looked really good. There were times that 62 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: he was gashing the Dallas Cowboys. They were fined the lanes. 63 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: And he's that speed back that Kyle Shanahan usually has. 64 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: You talk about what he had Matt Brida or Raheem Moster, 65 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: he always had a guy that could get the edge, 66 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: and if he got the edge, it's usually big games 67 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: twenty thirty yards and Grindo looked looked like one of 68 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: those in that mode. Special team special teams look decent today. 69 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: You know, no big crazy plays, field goals got made, 70 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: pats were made, kickoff returns were tackled. That that was 71 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: the one kickoff out of bounds, but that's just you know, 72 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: that's a kicker. You can't blame teams for that kicker. 73 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: Just got to keep it in bounds. But I thought, overall, 74 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 2: this is a really good bounce back game for the 75 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers. They're getting a lot of 76 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: good news. You hear that Christian McCaffrey potentially coming back 77 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: after the bye week to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 78 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: That will be an incredible boost for this team. Both 79 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 2: I mean in terms of just the morale of the 80 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: team and then all everything that Christian brings to this 81 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: offense in terms of his third down prowess. Just I mean, 82 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: he's one of the best players in National Football League. 83 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 1: It's huge. I mean, but this is a huge loss 84 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: for Dallas as well. I mean, this team, you could 85 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: tell they came out of the gates. They were They 86 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: looked scrappy, they looked like the better team early, rich 87 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. And I think it goes 88 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: back to their home stopping against the Detroit Lions. They 89 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: needed this game badly and to come out with an l. 90 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: And I know it was a tough opponent. The forty 91 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: nine ers have had their way against the Dallas Cowboys 92 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: for the last several years. But I mean, if you're 93 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones right now, Richard, what are you thinking in Dallas? 94 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: I gotta imagine that hot seat is starting to heat 95 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: up a little bit with Mike McCarthy there as the 96 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: head coach. Richard, where's your head at with Jerry Jones 97 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys being three and four? 98 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: Now? Well, I think all those crazy rumors about Dion 99 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: in the offseason, if McCarthy stumbles are gonna get hotter 100 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: and hotter come off season. I don't think anybody's gonna 101 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: take Jerry's word. Whatever he says at the end of 102 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: the season, he'll say, Hey, we're gonna we're gonna start 103 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: all over and start anew or whatever he's gonna say. 104 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: This offseason is going to have a lot of weight 105 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: because what you didn't do this season. This offseason is 106 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: going to rain loudly throughout this season because you did 107 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: not do enough. You drafted a tackle doesn't seem like 108 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: they answered. Offensive line is the worst it's been in years. 109 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: Aging superstars on the offensive line, CD, Lamb and Dak 110 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 2: just don't look like they have the same reports and 111 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 2: connection they did this game thirteen catches for one hundred 112 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: and forty nine yards for CD. But but it's just 113 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: throughout this season it hasn't looked the same as it 114 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: did last season. CD was dominating. I mean, he and 115 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 2: Dak just looked like they had an incredible connection. Every 116 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: time they needed a third down, you knew where he 117 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: was going and Ceedee Lamb was getting open, making huge plays, 118 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: huge games, And it just hasn't been that way. Dak 119 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: is turning the ball over. He's amongst the league leaders 120 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: and interceptions this year. I mean, right next to Patrick 121 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 2: Mahomes and Jordan Love, and I mean it doesn't sound 122 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 2: like a bad list to be a part of, but 123 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: they're leading the league in an interception. So you know, 124 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: those teams are still winning. But on top of that, 125 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 2: the NFC East has turned into a much different race 126 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: than they thought it would be. Than I thought it 127 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,119 Speaker 2: would be, and I think a lot of other people 128 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 2: thought it would be. I mean, it's led right now 129 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: by the Washington Commanders, who the Dallas Cowboys have in 130 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 2: a few weeks, and then the Philadelphia Eagles, So they 131 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 2: have a few division games coming up, and then they 132 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: got to play the Atlanta Falcons, who actually match up 133 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 2: pretty well against the Dallas Cowboys, and so they have 134 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: a slate, a really tough slate coming up that may 135 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: put them out of playoff contention, because again, that seventh 136 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: wildcard spot is going to be difficult to come by 137 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: this this year. A lot of teams playing a lot 138 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: of good football, especially in that NFC North, as you 139 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: very well know. You know your Detroit Lions, the Green 140 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: Bay Packers are playing good in Minnesota, Vikings have been 141 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: playing good, albeit they lost the last few games. I 142 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: don't know, but but congratulations to George Kettle on National 143 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: tight End Day, one hundred and twenty eight yards and 144 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: a TV. I thought they would call PI on that. 145 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: They called it. They they talked about it. They waved 146 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: the flag off, saying the defender's hand was on. You know, 147 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: as a defender anytime it's offensive PI, you know, even 148 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: if it's against the team, you know, something in my 149 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: heart says that was the right deal. And and you know, 150 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: this is the one time I'm just gonna let that 151 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: one slide because because I wanted George to get his 152 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: touchdown on nationale tight Ends Day. Brock Party had another 153 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: had another really good game, a bounce back game. He 154 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: was eighteen to twenty six hundred and sixty yards one TV, 155 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: no interceptions after his three interception performance against the Kansas 156 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: City Chiefs. He also ran the ball eight times for 157 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: fifty six yards and the QB sneak touchdown. As they 158 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: continue to get healthy and they're gonna get healthier and 159 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: and feel better and more continuity. There was a cool 160 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: play Ricky Purcell gotta reverse got thirty nine yards on it. 161 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 2: You know, the crowd went wild just to see his 162 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: story and what he's had to overcome. Obviously, the gunshot 163 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 2: wound and that scary situation was something that I think 164 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: really shocked the team and took everybody by surprise. And 165 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: everybody's grateful and thankful that he's out there. But it 166 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: was cool to see him get get his hands on 167 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: the football, catch a few passes, run a few passes, 168 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 2: I mean, run a few balls, and really just be 169 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: involved in the game. I think this team is ready 170 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: to bounce back. In the NFC West is just it's tied. 171 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I think everybody's fouring four except the Rams, 172 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: and that's because the Rams haven't played eight games yet. 173 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: They're three and four, but everybody's tied at the top 174 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: of the NFC West. It's gonna come down to stretch 175 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: and that's why they That's what the NFL loves. There's 176 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: a lot of division games down the stretch. They make 177 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: sure it's that way. I'm sure San Francisco and Seattle 178 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: is gonna end the season in Seattle. I mean in 179 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: San Francisco, they've already played in Seattle. The Arizona cardin 180 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: who's got a big win today against the Miami Dolphins. 181 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison had a really good game. They just battled 182 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: to a tongue of by lower return. He was pushing 183 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: the ball down the field. Tyreek Hill looked good, the 184 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: offense looks solid, but they just couldn't overcome Kyler Murray 185 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: and that defense. And I'm excited to see how this happens. 186 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: I mean, this NFC West hasn't been this crazy and 187 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: this chaotic and this tied up this late in the 188 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: season in a while. 189 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: It is it is gonna be a tight conference or division. 190 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: There's no question about that.

Oh my god, the 229 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: culture that Woody Johnson was trying to set by firing 230 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: Robert Sally. It just did exactly what you expected it 231 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: to do. Mitchell. It was terrible. It was a terrible decision. 232 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: Then it's a terrible decision now it looks even worse 233 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: right now. 234 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: You called it, man, I mean you called it. Let's start. 235 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: I mean, let's start in Seattle, though, Richard, because I 236 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: know this one is close to home for you, and 237 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: this is a game that Seattle needed. I mean, frankly, 238 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: I mean they were four and three heading into this game. 239 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: This was a true home test for him against an 240 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: AFC Super Bowl contender in the Buffalo Bills and they 241 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: get it taken to them on their home turf in 242 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: front of the twelves. Richard, did you see this coming? 243 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: Are you surprised by this outcome at all? 244 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 2: I'm really surprised by Mitchell. You couldn't. I couldn't have 245 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: saw this coming, especially after an Atlanta game. It looked 246 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: like they got some things figuring out, figured out stopping 247 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 2: the run game, some turnovers, some sacks from the d line. Offensively, 248 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: they were moving the ball down the field. Gino Smith 249 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: looked really good at times. The dolphensive line was protecting 250 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: him a little better, so you thought, hey, when I'm 251 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: starting to turn the corner. But of course you lose 252 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 2: DK Metcalf in that game and going into this game, 253 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 2: you see the different things that happen when you don't 254 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 2: have him in the lineup. Uh, you don't. You don't. 255 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: The defense isn't it's willing to play man to man 256 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: coverage a lot of the game. They put a lot 257 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 2: of pressure on Gino. But when they did have success, 258 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: when the Seattle Seahawks did move the ball down the field, 259 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: just too many mistakes to and moved the ball down 260 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: the field, then Connor Williams snatch the ball over. Gino 261 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: Smith said, and that play I just totally didn't understand. 262 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: It's the pros. This isn't Pop Warner, this isn't college 263 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: football where you're like, hey, you know, this is your 264 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: job and for it it's to be such a terrible 265 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: snap in that situation, I mean, it just doomed that drive. 266 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker picks it up, tries to get a few yards, 267 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 2: tries to get you know whatever he could, but he 268 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: could have took points off the board. There's three points there. 269 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 2: Then they get a huge interception. It was the first 270 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: interception for Josh Allen this season. You think, oh my god, 271 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: here come the Seattle to Seahawks. Here comes that defense. 272 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 2: Make him plays they they you know, Mike McDonald whatever, 273 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: he's bringing these guys. Josh Joby makes a huge play, 274 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 2: the first interception of his career, and the Seahawks are 275 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: in striking range and gets stopped at the goal line 276 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: a fourth down stop. Geno Smith takes the snap again. 277 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: Connor Williams steps on his foot, he goes down, just 278 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: just bonehage. Plays that you just can't have in that situation, 279 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: and and it devastates your momentum and everything. Buffalo turns around, 280 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: drives the ball down the field, scores a touchdown, scores 281 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: a touchdown right before the half. A terrible penalty by 282 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: by Derek all who's been having a really good season 283 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: on what would have ended up being a third and 284 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: long situation. He hits Josh Allen maybe two seconds after 285 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: he throws the ball well second and a half, just unnecessary. 286 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: Then him and Jaron Reed get into it on the sideline. 287 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: And I've been in heated situations on the sideline, Mitchell, 288 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: but we were a much better team and it was 289 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: a much different situation. You get heated like that, they 290 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: can have things like that can't happen, But when you're 291 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: the guy who had the penalty, Obviously Derek Hall is embarrassed. 292 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: Jared Reed is one of the leaders on that team. 293 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: He's trying to say, hey, bro, come on, that's an 294 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: unnecessary play. But when you're triggered in that moment, you 295 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: know both people are are are really charged up. They're 296 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: hot and heavy, and coolers have to prevail in that situation. 297 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: They didn't, but it was just a microcosm of the 298 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: dysfunction that was shown in that game, and it was 299 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: really unfortunate because they played such a great game in 300 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: Atlanta on the road. Early game, they showed all the 301 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: things they could be, you know, Gino, how good he 302 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: could be, that defense, how disruptive they could be, you know, 303 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: DK Metcalf obviously, Kenneth Walker the third he had nine 304 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: carries for twelve yards. Mitchell, I don't think I've ever 305 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 2: seen him put out such an anemic performance on the ground. 306 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: That's just it. 307 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: And I was gonna say that it's Is it just 308 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: me or does this Seattle Seahawks team go as Kenneth 309 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: Walker goes? It seems like when he's in a game 310 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: like today, there's no run game. This team's borderline unwatchable. 311 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Buffalo walked it up and down on them 312 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: all day to day. Josh Allen, you know these Bills, 313 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean, this team looks like a team that can 314 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: truly compete in the AFC. I know they're kryptonite is 315 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: Patty Mahomes and and the Chiefs. But when you go 316 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: on the road against Seattle, who was leading the NFC 317 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: West in a very tight division race right now, Richard, 318 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: this this division is wide open. It's for the picking 319 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: and next week they're gonna have to go and play 320 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: the Rams, who are are now getting healthy. I mean, 321 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: that's not a win guaranteed for them, this team, Richard. 322 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 1: They need to get back on track quick and they 323 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: need to they need to lean on the rung game. 324 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: I know, without DK Metcalf, it's tough. But they just 325 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: looked like a shelve of themselves out there today, rich 326 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: I was ultimately surprised by this because I thought Seattle 327 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: would give this Bills team a true challenge today and 328 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: I thought, frankly they were going to come away with 329 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: a win. But clearly I was wrong. Yeah, but go ahead, Yeah. 330 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: I mean I thought they would come away with a 331 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: win or at least beat a lot more competitive than this, 332 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 2: you know, maybe lose at the end last second, you know, 333 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: make it a really competitive game. It's just disappointing. But 334 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: that Buffalo defense showed up in a big way, like 335 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: I said, putting pressure on Geno all day. And of 336 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 2: course they're this week's They hailed the Seattle Seahawks offense 337 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: to ten points at home. It honestly wasn't wasn't as 338 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 2: close as the score, you know, it's thirty one to ten, 339 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: but it looked worse than watching the game. And that's 340 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: why there this week's Uber Eats almost almost perfect Defense, 341 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 2: the segment brought to you by Uber Eats where we 342 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 2: highlight the NFL defense that put on the most week's 343 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 2: most dominating performance. And they really dominated this game. Even 344 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: every time you thought the Seattle Seahawks had a chance 345 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: in this game to score points, that defense stood tall. 346 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: They stood strong. Four downs, the Seattle Seahawks had the 347 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 2: ball in at the ten yard line, trying to get 348 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 2: it in, trying to get it in, dude, Buffalo Bills 349 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 2: found a way. Whenever they got a little bit of momentum, 350 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: they threw. They intercepted a screen pass that you know 351 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 2: was trying to set up for Kenneth Walker to third. 352 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 2: It was just again, even the special teams there must 353 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: punt at the end of the game where it was 354 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: just like insult to injury. Give that defense a ton 355 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 2: of credit, the special teams and even the offense because 356 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: they ran the ball really well. It was it was 357 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: James Cook might have been as one of his best games. 358 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: Seventeen carries for one hundred and eleven yards. That's a 359 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: great game for a running back, and we thought they 360 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: had got the run game. Issues on defense solidified and 361 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: fixed last week in the second half of the Atlanta 362 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: Falcons game. Clearly the Seattle Seahawks haven't gotten it fixed. 363 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 2: And that's why the Buffalo Bills are this week's almost 364 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 2: almost perfect defense. And remember, you can order almost almost 365 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: anything on Uber eats, the official on demand delivery partner 366 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 2: of the NFL. 367 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: Order Now, well, Richard, if Uber Eats wants to sponsor 368 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: the almost almost perfect team of the Week, I think 369 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: that would go to my Detroit Lione. Let's go to Detroit, 370 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: because Richard, this Vegas did not expect a close game. 371 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: I think the closing line finished at the Detroit you know, 372 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: minus twelve and a half points. No one expected this 373 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: be a game, but it was in the beginning in 374 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: the first quarter fourteen to fourteen. You saw Mason Rudolph 375 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: slinging the ball all over. Calvin Ridley had over a 376 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: hundnderd yards in the first quarter of this game, and 377 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, maybe this is a trap game for Detroit, 378 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: and no, not so much. That Detroit rattles off thirty 379 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: eight consecutive points in this win they were getting everyone 380 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: involved and Ben Johnson was creative. We saw a throw 381 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: from David Montgomery on a half back toss. He pulls 382 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: up and heaves the ball to Samuel Porter on a 383 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: National tight end day, Richard, What's gonna stop this Detroit 384 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: Lion team? I know I'm biased, but objectively speaking, when 385 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: I look at this team, I see Kansas City. They've 386 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: got the X factor in Patrick Mahomes. I mean, they 387 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how much you prepare for that team. They 388 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: have Patrick Mahomes. But this Detroit Lions team, top to bottom, 389 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: looks like the best team in the NFL to me 390 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: right now, at least offensively. Am I off base there? 391 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: Like? 392 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about this team? What's it gonna 393 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: take the break them? 394 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: Well, it's just that defense, you know, and that defense 395 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: has been playing well, but they there have been games 396 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: where they have been shootouts because that defense gives up 397 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 2: some points. It gets leaky. If you're talking about losing 398 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: Aiden Hutchinson and everything that he brought, the sacks, the pressures, 399 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: the a tension, the double teams and things like that. 400 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: That's that's where we're gonna have to figure it out. 401 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 2: Especially when they played more competitive teams. Obviously, the Tennessee 402 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 2: Titans are one and six, but they're still an NFL team, 403 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: and one in six teams can still win ball games, 404 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: as the New England Patriots and the Cleveland Brown showed 405 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: us this week. But give Jared Golf a ton of credit, 406 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: give Ben Johnson a ton of credit, and obviously Dan 407 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: Campbell for the culture he's created. We talk about it 408 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: a lot, but Jamier Gibbs is starting to develop as 409 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 2: a home run hitter consistently, game after game. Another one 410 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 2: hundred yard game for him with a touchdown. You know, 411 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 2: you look at Sam Laporta getting involved on National tight 412 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: End Day, you talked about the touchdown. Jared Golf threw 413 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: for eighty five yards. He's still a fishing twelve fifteen 414 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 2: three touchdown passes, and they just did not need a 415 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: lot from him today. They made plays on defense, they 416 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 2: had multiple interceptions. Kirby Joseph had an interception. And when 417 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 2: they play like this, it's gonna be really tough. They're 418 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 2: gonna be a tough team to beat. But they've had 419 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 2: five straight wins. They play another tough divisional game, and 420 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 2: if we know anything about the NFL divisional games are 421 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 2: totally different than anything else. People don't understand it, but 422 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: then you gotta watch games like the Patriots versus the 423 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: Jets today. Divisional games are different. You look at the 424 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns versus the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore looked like world 425 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 2: beaters five and two, just running shop over everybody. They 426 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: lost to Jameis Winston and the Cleveland Browns. And the 427 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns looked really good. Their defense looked good, Jamis 428 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 2: pushing the ball down the field. They trade away a 429 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: Mariy Cooper and somehow looked better than they did with 430 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: the Maury Cooper. They lose their fifty million dollars quarterback 431 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: in somehow look start to be more productive on offense. 432 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 2: And so that's how unpredictable the NFL is this year. 433 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: But the Detroit Lions have been consistent as any team, 434 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 2: and like you said, they look really good on both 435 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 2: sides of the ball. Well, coach, they got they they 436 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: got great players in the place you need great players, 437 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 2: good receiver, good run game, solid defense on the verge 438 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 2: of being a really good defense. So we'll we'll see 439 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 2: with Green Bay game will be a good litmus test. 440 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 2: But they passed the test against Minnesota, so we'll see this. 441 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: Is gonna be a huge game on the road in Lambeau. 442 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: But the game today was a very unique one in 443 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: the sense, you know, my brother's flying home from LA 444 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: ten year anniversary. Him and his wife are out there. 445 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: He texted me that he's not watching the game. He's like, 446 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: what in the world is going on with Detroit. I'm 447 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: watching them on game cast, and I got no explanation 448 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: for how they're scoring so many points in the third quarter, Richard, 449 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: Jared Goff had twenty eight passing yards total throughout the 450 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: entire game. In the third quarter, the Detroit Lions have 451 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: forty two points on the board. I don't know how 452 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: in the world that's happened, But I mean Detroit was 453 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: starting in Tennessee's twenty five thirty yard line every time 454 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: they hit over two hundred return yards. This was a 455 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: special team game. Khalif Raymond going off. But Jered Goff, 456 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is firmly in the MVP conversation. 457 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: He has the highest completion percentage in passing rating in 458 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: a five game span in NFL history. Richard, I mean 459 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. I know it was the Titans, but lookout. 460 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: I love this team right now. The momentum is great. 461 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: Lambo is going to be a great test for him. 462 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: We saw a thriller in Washington, and this is Jaden 463 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: Daniels confirming who exactly he is. I think he's the 464 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: leader in the clubhouse when it comes for that Rookie 465 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: of the Year recip reward, and he beat out the 466 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: number one pick Caleb Williams Richard Mary. I know you 467 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: saw one in Seattle with the blind ref that gave 468 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: Golden Tate that Hail Mary touchdown, but you don't see 469 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: it very often. What was going through your head when 470 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: you saw Jaydon Daniels hit Noah Brown as time expired 471 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: in that thriller against the Bears. 472 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: Mitchell, it's chaos, it's chaos, but sometimes it's just your time. 473 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 2: The Bears played well defensively, but offensively they were stagnant. 474 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift had a great game. They ran the ball well, 475 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: so give them credit there. But Caleb Williams dropped back 476 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: twenty four times, completed ten passes for one hundred and 477 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 2: thirty one yards. He ran the ball for forty one yards. 478 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: But they did not look great when they dropped back 479 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: to pass. He lost to fumble in the game. But 480 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: when Jaydon Daniels looked really good throughout this game, I mean, 481 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 2: coming off the injury. It's just sometimes your time, Mitchell. 482 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 2: When you're feeling good things, the ball bounces your way. 483 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 2: Hell Mary's go your way, and that's what happens today. 484 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 2: They were leading this entire game. They were winning from 485 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 2: almost start to finish until the absolute last second Chicago 486 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 2: takes the lead and you think, oh my god, what 487 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: a comeback, what a last second. They're gonna sneak out 488 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: of here with the win. They're gonna steal this game 489 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 2: from the Washington Commanders. When the Washington Commanders were about 490 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 2: to make an entrance into my power rankings, just as 491 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 2: I was about to give them the respect that they 492 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: are desiring, they were gonna lose this game. Then the fates, 493 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 2: the football gods, whatever you want to believe, were with 494 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: them today and allowed them to come out of this 495 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 2: game when they were only Let me check the clock, Mitchell, 496 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: because I think there were teenage seconds left in this 497 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 2: ball game when they got it. They had twenty five 498 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: seconds to go, Mitchell. They four play seventy six yards 499 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: in twenty five seconds. That game seemed like it was over. 500 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 2: And for most teams that would have been over, but 501 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: it clearly it wasn't for Jaden Daniel in this Washington Commanders, 502 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 2: and this is only going to further validate what they've 503 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: been doing this season. That Chicago Bears defense is legitimate. 504 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 2: Haley Williams had been playing better over the last few games. 505 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 2: They had been finding a rhythm. They went for two. 506 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 2: They looked good on that touchdown scoring drive. But again, 507 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 2: this team believes, and it's Dan Quinn and this staff, 508 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 2: Kenny Norton over there on the defensive side of the 509 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 2: ball coaching the backers. He got leaders like Zach Ertz 510 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 2: and our guy friend of the program, friend of mine, 511 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: you know, one of my better one of them, my 512 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: best friends. If Bobby Wagner holding this defense down, holding 513 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears to fifteen points, sometimes you got to 514 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 2: lean on your defense, and they were able to get 515 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: this win. They're definitely making an entry intanto my power rankings. 516 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 2: They're six and two, got a favorable schedule down the stretch. 517 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 2: I cannot wait for that Thursday night football game against 518 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles because I want to I want them 519 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 2: to establish themselves in a division, because they can do 520 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: all this damage everywhere else, but you gotta beat the 521 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: guys in your division to really catapult yourself into that 522 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: contender conversation. And so when they played the Dallas Cowboys, 523 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles, they played the New York Giants. They 524 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 2: beat the New York Giants, which is obviously very realistic. 525 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: They're seven and two. You're telling me you had them 526 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: seven and two to start the season. Mitchell, I cannot 527 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: lie to you and say I did well. 528 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: We we did. We did highlight them a little bit 529 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: in our pre season preview. If you don't recall, we 530 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: said if Jade and Daniels was gonna be this year's 531 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: rookie of the year, Washington could be a dark horse. 532 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: But you're right, I did not see this when I 533 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: says is dark mission, No, there bright, very bright, and 534 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: they deserve all the hype throunding this team. You know 535 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: who looks like a genius right now, Richard, a flat 536 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: out genius is the friend of the program, Like you said, 537 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: one of your best friends, Bobby Wagner, because and you know, 538 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: whould really love to have Bobby Wagner on their team. 539 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm guessing the Seattle Seahawks in the twelve because you 540 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: take a veteran leader, future, you know, Hall of Famer 541 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: and Bobby Wagner and put him on this team. Richard, 542 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to put the cart before this, this 543 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: dark horse, right but they're gonna win next week. They're 544 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: gonna be seven to two, and they're gonna keep climbing 545 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: your power ranks. I love the Washington Commanders right now. 546 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: This team proved to me today that they can truly 547 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: compete in this division and in this conference. I think 548 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: they might be a super Bowl challenger. I don't want 549 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: to call them a ender yet, just yet, but they 550 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: are entering that conversation piece on the other side of 551 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: the football. Chicago fans, I know you took the l today. 552 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: It's tough loss. 553 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: This team. 554 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: They're gonna be tough for years. They got a lot 555 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: of weapons on that team. I am thankful that they 556 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: lost because this NFC North is way too tight right 557 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: now that the Lions need a little little freedom here 558 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: when you're playing as good a football as they are. 559 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: Well, Richard, let's and Mitchell, but you talk about the 560 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 2: NFC North, the NFC West is crazy too. Because you 561 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: sit there and say, Seattle, you got a chance to 562 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 2: pull away a little bit, and of course they lose, 563 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 2: and now they're at five hundred. Then the Arizona Cardinals 564 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: beat the Miami Dolphins into a tongue of Biloa's return 565 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 2: and now they're five hundred. The Rams are sitting at 566 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: three and four, who they were about to trade away 567 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: the farm and now they're three and four with a 568 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 2: chance to be tied for the division lead if they 569 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 2: can win next week. And that's chaotic. I mean, in 570 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 2: San Francisco, forty nine ers got the game against the 571 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys to take them for five hundred for a 572 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 2: share of the lead as well. So this NFC West 573 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 2: race is getting pretty crazy. But like you said, it's Seattle. Seahawks. 574 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 2: Look like they need leadership on defense, look like they 575 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 2: need look like they need a veteran presence to stabilize 576 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 2: this defense. Maybe a Pro bowler, maybe an All Pro 577 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 2: linebacker who's just playing a lot of football. Just somebody 578 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 2: that's that's been there, that knows the team, that knows 579 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 2: the city that knows that. Don't get me started on 580 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 2: the idiocracy that it is to watch Bobby Wagner walk 581 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: away for the second time, not the first time, second time, Mitchell. 582 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 2: And that is one of the more frustrating things in 583 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 2: the off season because then you trade for a linebacker, 584 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 2: You trade for Ernest Jones. Wait, you trade away the linebacker. 585 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: You paid the money. But they were better than Bobby 586 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 2: I thought. But no they're not. They're not. They were 587 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 2: never because there are things you cannot measure. There are 588 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: things that he brings that you cannot that you don't see, 589 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 2: and day in and day out, there's a standard set. 590 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 2: But people are so quick to move on. They're quick 591 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 2: to say, oh, the new things the better thing. It's not. 592 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 2: And that's why people need to appreciate what they have 593 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 2: instead of always looking for the future, always looking towards. 594 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 2: Oh the grass may be greener over there. How about 595 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: you water yo grass. How about you appreciate what's on 596 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: your loan. You know what I mean, the grass that's 597 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 2: been growing from a seed. You're watching one of the 598 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 2: all time greats and you say, oh, well, we need 599 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 2: to do something different. You got a new head coach 600 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 2: coming in, new system about to be installed. You want 601 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 2: everything new, but you could have somebody to help bring 602 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 2: this this thing in smoother, but no, you don't. So 603 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: you know who one of them dan Quinn. Dan Quinn said, oh, 604 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a new head coach. Adam Peters, who 605 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 2: came from the San Francisco forty nine ers got hired, 606 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 2: and he said, you know who's a really quality player, 607 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: Bobby Wagner, and he's on the market. Kenny Norton said, 608 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: y'all know who, y'all better call Bobby Wagner. And they 609 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 2: called him, and he's helping to elevate this Washington Commander's 610 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: team and help bring this new regime in and establish 611 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 2: a coulchre over there instead of in Seattle, where he 612 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 2: would have loved to do that. We have to be 613 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 2: doing the same thing he's doing in Washington in Seattle, 614 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 2: but they did not want him. And that's a whole 615 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: story for a different day. But that's my rent and 616 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 2: my pit talk foot today. Mitchell. 617 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: I love it. I mean, your spot on and I 618 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: could go down a rabbit hole with you here, Richard. 619 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how far we want to take this, 620 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: but I just feel like John Schneider watched the snap 621 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: with this transition from the Legion of Boom and your 622 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: core defense and obviously you guys all moving on people retiring, 623 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: you know, and the last guy of that defense was 624 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner. I think you keep him him around is 625 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: long as humanly possible to help this team in this transition, 626 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: especially with the new coach, and they just did not 627 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: do that. So we shall see. The season is still 628 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: they are still firmly in the mix of this division. 629 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: Sales just got to get better. Speaking of a team 630 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: that is kind of confusing me at the moment, that 631 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: sorts that needs to get a little bit better as well. 632 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: This is Baltimore Ravens team because entering this week this 633 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: is a win. They're playing the Cleveland Browns one and six, 634 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: the Shaun Watson's out for the season, They're going against 635 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 1: famous Jamis Winston. What is it with Baltimore rich because 636 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 1: this team looks so darn dominant, yet they have two 637 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: losses to the Raiders and now the Browns. I don't 638 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: know what I'm watching. Did they just not show up? 639 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: Do they not practice well? Do they not get up 640 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: for these lousy games? Because you can put them against 641 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: the Niners, you could put again against the Lions last year. 642 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: You put them against all these top teams and they dominate, 643 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: but when it comes to these lousy teams, they just 644 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: can't seem to get it done. What's the deal with Baltimore. 645 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, Mitchell, I don't know. What I do 646 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 2: know is that they don't play well always against the 647 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 2: AFC the NFC. For some reason, Lamar Jackson dominates. I 648 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 2: think he's only lost twice or something against the NFC teams, 649 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: it's an insane record. But against AFC teams, he's pretty 650 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 2: pretty normal. And specifically in his division, against the Cleveland Browns, 651 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 2: he has a hard time. Regardless of who's that quarterback 652 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 2: for the Cleveland Browns, regardless of what they're doing offensively, 653 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson has a much harder time versus them than 654 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 2: any other team just about. I mean, I've just seen 655 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 2: him struggle a lot against the Cleveland Browns, and and 656 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 2: Dereck Henry has been so dominant, but he did not 657 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 2: look as dominant as he has. The lanes didn't look 658 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 2: as big as they had been. And that's again divisional games. 659 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 2: When you're in your division, throw the records away, throw 660 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 2: all that away. I don't know why. Maybe it's the 661 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 2: familiar familiarity between the players, the schemes, et cetera, et cetera. 662 00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 2: But when you're in a divisional game, it's tough. It's 663 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 2: gonna be a dogfight. Now, Baltimore still had chances to win. 664 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 2: Bateman drops a wide open pass and it uppeared he 665 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 2: lost the ball in the sun. He's pointing up to 666 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 2: the sky late in this game. That really could have 667 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 2: could have gave Baltimore a chance to win this game 668 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 2: and walk away with the nice win, you know, at 669 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 2: you know, in a struggle struggling environment there in Cleveland. 670 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 2: But Lamar Jackson played pretty good. You know, he looked good. 671 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 2: He twenty three or thirty eight, two eighty nine. He 672 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 2: ran the ball eight times. You know, he still had 673 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 2: forty six yards. Derrick Henry did what he did. Zay 674 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 2: Flowers had seven catches for one p fifteen. Uh. Cal 675 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: Hamilton had a sack and should have had an interception 676 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 2: that probably would have sealed this game for him. He 677 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 2: had his hands on it. Jamis threw it right to him. 678 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 2: He overthrew his receiver and threw it right to cal Hamilton, 679 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 2: and he dropped it maybe two or three times. Mitchell, 680 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 2: he caught it, dropped it, caught it dropped it, caught it, 681 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 2: and then finally just dropped it to the ground. That 682 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 2: would have changed the game. That would have been the 683 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 2: game Baltimore Ravens win. That's how much of a game 684 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 2: of inches this game is. He could have stealed that 685 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 2: game right then and there, but he didn't. And sometimes 686 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 2: again it's your jay. Jameis Winston had a day and 687 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 2: he was moving the ball three hundred and thirty four yards, 688 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,399 Speaker 2: three touchdowns. Deshaun Watson hadn't thrown for a three hundred 689 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 2: yard game. I don't think he threw for a three 690 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 2: hundred yard game any of his starts. I know Joe 691 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 2: Flacco threw a couple times last year in last season, 692 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 2: and this offense looked similar similar to what it did 693 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 2: today when Joe Flacco was at the helm. And this 694 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 2: is without Amari Cooper, who they just traded to the 695 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. They offense looked good. Nick Chubb was back, 696 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 2: obviously still getting his legs under him, but that was 697 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 2: a big boost. But I'm sure Cedric Tillman, who had 698 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 2: seven catches for ninety nine yards and two touchdowns, felt 699 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 2: really good about what Jamis is doing. And sometimes when 700 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,720 Speaker 2: your on scout team, or you're working with the twos, 701 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 2: you work with the fourth and fifth and six receivers, Mitchell, 702 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 2: you're not always working with the one, two and three receivers. 703 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 2: So you get a chance like this where you lose 704 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 2: Amari Cooper and guys go down with injuries and you're 705 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 2: you're throwing to the guys that you're used to throwing to. 706 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 2: And this is what happened in this game. Jamis was 707 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 2: going to the guy he knew and that was Cedric Tillman. 708 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 2: David and Joeku had five catches for sixty one yards 709 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 2: another touchdown. But it was great for Jamis, great to 710 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 2: see him. He's a good human being, a good spirit. 711 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 2: And again we talked about the quality of quarterbacks. Jamis 712 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 2: is a starting caliber quarterback in the National Football League. 713 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 2: You cannot say there's twenty quarterbacks better than Jameis Winston 714 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 2: right now. You know, you can argue there's you know, 715 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 2: you can argue there's teen, maybe twelve. But like at 716 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 2: the end of the day, when he's playing, got a 717 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 2: high level and a good system that he can that 718 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 2: you know, plays to his talents. He can play at 719 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 2: a high level. He just beat Lamar Jackson, the reigning MVP, 720 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 2: and he played well doing it. It wasn't just like 721 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 2: a low scoring game. They scored almost thirty points. And 722 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 2: this is without a true number one receiver. No, there's 723 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 2: there's not a receiver on this on this Cleveland roster 724 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 2: that you would say would be a undisputed number one 725 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 2: on the other thirty two teams or other thirty one teams. 726 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 2: So you have to give them a lot of credit. 727 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 2: And you got to give Jamis a lot of credit. 728 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 2: And that's why he's our brightling player in prime time 729 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 2: Player of the Game this week. Obviously, obviously we heard 730 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 2: his speech last week when Deshaun Watson got hurt. You 731 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 2: hear you hear about all these quotes and funny videos 732 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 2: from Jameis. Whether you're not sure if he's serious or not. 733 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 2: But one thing he was doing today, he was seriously 734 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 2: dishing and pushing the ball down the field when they 735 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 2: needed to have it. Then you had to have a touchdown. 736 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 2: Late in that game, he pushed the ball down the 737 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 2: field through a dime for the game ceiling touchdown. Give 738 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 2: Jameis Winston a round of applayoffs mental because he is 739 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 2: our brightling player in prime time player in the game. 740 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 2: It's brought to you by our friends and partners over 741 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 2: at Brightling got us shining this year. We appreciate you, 742 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 2: and I just I love it and I love it. 743 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: You know what else I love well, Richard. I love 744 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. He's probably one of the most unique athletes 745 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: I would say over the last ten years in terms 746 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: of you know, you never know what the guy's saying. 747 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: You never know if he's being serious. He's over there 748 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: eating w's. But I mean, like you said, he's a 749 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: very capable starter in this league. The only knock on 750 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: him is he'll just throw the ball into triple coverage randomly, 751 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: and it's just like but if he's frankly, and I 752 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,720 Speaker 1: hate to see it with the Shan Watson, but frankly, 753 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: I think he's an upgrade at quarterback for this Browns team, 754 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: and we saw it today. But with this Baltimore Ravens 755 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: team and their three losses, they've only given the ball 756 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: to Derek Henry fourteen times on average, and they're five wins. 757 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: They're handed it to him over twenty times a game 758 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: on average. How he only gets eleven carries today is 759 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,720 Speaker 1: beyond me. In a tight game against Cleveland, but maybe 760 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: that's why they lost Richard another close game down in Jacksonville. 761 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,879 Speaker 1: I did not like the outcome of this game because 762 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: I was hoping the Green Bay Packers would lose, but 763 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: they came back late. Jordan's Love goes down, gets injured, 764 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,919 Speaker 1: and Malik Willis comes in and delivers a great ball 765 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: to Jayden Reid and brings the Packers back to a win. 766 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 1: I don't get what it is. I mean, who knows 767 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: what's going on with Jordan Love this injury, But the 768 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: fact that Elik Willis now has kept Green Bay afloat 769 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: for several games through the season. It was a huge 770 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,800 Speaker 1: contributor in this game. It's just wild to see where's 771 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: your stance, where's your head at with this Green Bay 772 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: Packers team as they go on the road. I know 773 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: you don't like the Jags. I know you're not partial 774 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence, but a win on the road in 775 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: the NFL is never easy. Where where's your head at 776 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: with this Packers team? 777 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 2: Well, again, like you said, when you lose your quarterback 778 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 2: mid game like they did to Jordan Love, Jordan Love 779 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 2: was having a pretty productive game fourteen. At twenty two 780 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety six yards. With the interception, you 781 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 2: usually lose that game, and they were winning the head 782 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 2: of lead when he went out. Josh Jacobs had his 783 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 2: probably his best game as Green Bay Packer twenty five 784 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 2: carries for one hundred and twenty seven yards and two touchdowns. 785 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 2: But they started the Jacksonville Jaguars are very capable team. 786 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 2: They have good players. They they're starting to lean on 787 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 2: tank bagsby you know, with Travis etn you know, spelling 788 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 2: him at times. Trevor Lawrence twenty one thirty two, three 789 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 2: to eight, two touchdowns, an interception in a fumble that 790 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 2: he lost. This was this is a solid game from him, 791 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 2: but the interception devastating play in the lost fumble. Again, 792 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 2: devastating for a team. They win this game if he 793 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 2: doesn't throw that interception, if he doesn't fumble that ball. 794 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 2: And again, his sixty five turnovers since twenty twenty one 795 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 2: are the most in an NFL. And everybody, you know, 796 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 2: I see fans on our comments on Instagram talking about, oh, 797 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 2: we're wrong about Trevor Lawrence. It's his team's fault. They're 798 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 2: dropping passes. It's not him, it's somebody else. It's the coach, 799 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 2: it's this, it's that I hear you. But if any 800 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 2: other player, any other quarterback, was two and thirteen over 801 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 2: their last fifteen games, I don't know if they'd get 802 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 2: the same pass. If it was Jameis Winston and I 803 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 2: told you he led the NFL and turnovers since he 804 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,320 Speaker 2: was drafted, you'd say, why is he starting an NFL 805 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 2: If I told you he had two turnovers in this game, 806 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 2: but he threw two touchdowns. But those turnovers were so 807 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,320 Speaker 2: detrimental to the win. I mean to his team winning 808 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 2: the ball game, and that they just cannot. They have 809 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 2: not won with him, and his defense isn't even when 810 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 2: his defense does cause a turnover. They caused a turnover 811 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 2: this this game, they picked off Jordan Love. They're still 812 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 2: not to win those games. But I think you give 813 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 2: a lot of credit to Lafloor and the staff of 814 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers. Obviously they got my guy Robert 815 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 2: Sala over there, so they got a friend. They already 816 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 2: had my guy, Jeff Hafley calling the defense over there. 817 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 2: They continue to do well. That defense costs two turnovers 818 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 2: for from it took the ball away from h Trevor 819 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 2: Lawrence twice in this game critical. They continue to lead 820 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 2: the league and uh turnovers, they're they're very opportunistic, and 821 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 2: that's what you got to worry about, Mitchell, when when 822 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 2: facing this Green Bay Packers team and your Detroit Lions, 823 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,279 Speaker 2: UH play them next week in Lambeau. That's what they've 824 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 2: been doing at a really high level this year is 825 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 2: turning the ball over just like the Dallas Cowboys had 826 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 2: the last couple of years. They're forcing turnovers, they're opportunistic. 827 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 2: Our guy Xavier McKinney gets him another one, already leading 828 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 2: a league in interceptions, gets his sixth interception of the season, 829 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 2: uh and takes it from Trevor Lawrence. But it's Green 830 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 2: Bay Packers team looks good, Mitchell. They look they look 831 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 2: really solid, they look really complete. Obviously, there are some 832 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 2: weaknesses we saw, you know, exposed versus Minnesota Vikings. We've 833 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 2: seen them. But when your backup quarterback comes in and 834 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 2: plays as well as Malik Willis did, that goes to coaching, 835 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 2: That goes to development, and they're doing a great job 836 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 2: developing these players and even their receiving corps. You really 837 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 2: never know who's gonna show up and have a great 838 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 2: game because they're doing a great job spread no love. 839 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 2: You know, whether it's Jaden Reid, whether it's Romeo Dobbs, 840 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 2: whether it's Christian Watson, it's it's gonna be somebody and 841 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 2: they're gonna go off and nobody's gonna be upset, nobody's 842 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 2: gonna be frustrated. Obviously, Romeo Dobbs had that moment where 843 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 2: I think he missed practice. There's some frustration growing. He 844 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 2: turns around and has a two touchdown game. As soon 845 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 2: as he gets back, everybody hugs him and you can 846 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 2: see the culture that they built over there that really 847 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,280 Speaker 2: embraces one another. There's love, and there's respect, and there's 848 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,280 Speaker 2: there's trust and and and and belief in one another 849 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 2: and belief in what they're doing. So they deserve a 850 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:04,919 Speaker 2: lot of credit and they're gonna be a tough team 851 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 2: down to stretch. They're gonna be a playoff team this season, 852 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:08,760 Speaker 2: for sure, no question. 853 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 1: And they look like an ego list football team. I mean, 854 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,879 Speaker 1: there's they have so many options offensively, you never really 855 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 1: even know who the number one receiver is and who 856 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: the number one offensive weapon is. They just have so 857 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,479 Speaker 1: many guys. Tucker Kraft has elevated himself in his second 858 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: year this year, he's looking like he's gonna be a 859 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 1: great pro going forward. 860 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 2: As a tight end. 861 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 1: But Richard, I want to talk to you a little 862 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 1: bit about the Jets. They you touched on it briefly earlier. 863 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: They go out, they fire Robert Sala. They think that's 864 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,399 Speaker 1: going to be the solved. Now they're zero to three 865 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: without him, you know, then they say, hey, all right, 866 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 1: you know we're still losing. We got to go get 867 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers guy. Because he can't hit Mike Williams over 868 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: the middle. So we're gonna trade for Devonte Adams. That 869 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: doesn't work either. Now they're two and six, they lose 870 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: to the Patriots. What's the latest excuse with this team? 871 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 1: This just doesn't look like it's gonna end well with 872 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 1: the Jets this season. 873 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 2: No, it's not gonna end well. You know it's not 874 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 2: gonna end well because you took out their leader five 875 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 2: games into the season. It doesn't always start how you 876 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,720 Speaker 2: wanted to. And then we talked about all the teams 877 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 2: that don't start well. You know, the Cincinnati Bengals have 878 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 2: not started well historically. I mean it's almost like what 879 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,879 Speaker 2: you expect from you expect to run mid season from 880 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 2: a uh. The San Francisco forty nine ers have had 881 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 2: seasons where they started off three and four and two 882 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 2: and four and then going on to the NFC championship 883 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,400 Speaker 2: games and lost or run or made it Super bowls, 884 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But whatay Johnson made a knee 885 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 2: jerk decision which injected chaos into a team. And again, 886 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 2: I cannot stress and I cannot emphasize enough how how 887 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 2: dysfunctional it is. And an environment becomes when you take 888 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,360 Speaker 2: the head coach out of the equation, you all of 889 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 2: a sudden change, the roles changed the responsibilities of so 890 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 2: many people in the building without enough time for them 891 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 2: to fully digest and fully embrace or brace themselves for 892 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 2: those positions. Brick is a is a good DC. His 893 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 2: defense has been really good. But that's what he was 894 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 2: prepared to do this year. He's prepared to call the defense. 895 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 2: He had a routine, a regiment. He knows when he's 896 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,799 Speaker 2: getting his film, he's breaking it down. He knows the 897 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 2: things he has to worry about, the things he's responsible for, 898 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 2: the things he doesn't need to think about and worry 899 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 2: about on game day. And then five games into the season, 900 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 2: you turn his world upside down. Now you put more 901 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 2: on his plate, You put more decisions, more things to 902 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 2: think about, more conversations. And it's tough. It's tough on anybody, 903 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 2: and he didn't deserve to be put in such a 904 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 2: tough position where a team and a defense it is 905 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 2: already kind of really and you're almost can want it down. 906 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 2: You're almost poisoning your own drink, You're poisoning your own 907 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 2: well water, You're poisoning your own citizens in a in 908 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 2: a in a way metro when you're when you start 909 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 2: to to do things like Woody Johnson did. If he 910 00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,399 Speaker 2: would have left Robert Salim, maybe maybe they still lose 911 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 2: three games, but but they they would have a better 912 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 2: chance to win. They would have more stability, they would 913 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:28,400 Speaker 2: have more consistency. Like you, you make it harder for 914 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator to prepare each week when he has 915 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:36,320 Speaker 2: head coaching duties. But I put this on Woody Johnson. Obviously, 916 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 2: Aaron hasn't played as well as he would want to play. 917 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 2: The defense has been playing a lot worse over the 918 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 2: last few games. You expect them to win this game 919 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 2: against the New England Patriots, but there's no guarantees in 920 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 2: this league, and again this is the divisional game that 921 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 2: it's always gonna be a dogfight. They just couldn't get 922 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 2: it done defensively and and offensively. They just can't find themselves. 923 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,280 Speaker 2: They can't find their identity. A rod can't find his rhythm, 924 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 2: and and they're there. They're rumors out there that he's 925 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,359 Speaker 2: gonna be done after this season, and maybe he will, 926 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 2: because it's it's it's not looking like there's so many 927 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,640 Speaker 2: uncharacteristic things happen in these games where you've watched him 928 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 2: play for such a long time that he's never done. 929 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 2: He's stilling multiple interceptions in multiple games, missing wide, uping guys. 930 00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 2: You know, you see flashes of the things that you're 931 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:30,760 Speaker 2: used to seeing, which is very very quick arm, great release, 932 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 2: you know, pinpoint passes, but then you're seeing it off. 933 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 2: He's not moving like he used to. This offensive line 934 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 2: isn't playing as well as they have in the past. 935 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 2: And we have him next week on Thursday Night football 936 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 2: against the Houston Texans, who are playing as good as anybody, 937 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 2: and I'm just not sure. Maybe they can pull that 938 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 2: one off, you know, maybe they find my magic and 939 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 2: they can capture lightning in a bottle. Uh. They have 940 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 2: the playmakers on offense to be able to strike quick 941 00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 2: and really get on on get up to speak quickly. 942 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 2: But it just seems like maybe the decision Whatdy Johnson 943 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 2: made was the straw that broke the camel's back in 944 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 2: terms of this culture, and it's toxic. 945 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: It certainly looks that way. But like you said, we'll 946 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 1: see on Thursday Night Football. That's a huge game for them. 947 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: They need to write this ship quick. Another loss, it's 948 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 1: going to be very tough to turn this season around. 949 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 2: Richard. 950 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: Let's go to the Bengals Cincinnati. The Bengals three and 951 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 1: four entering this week, an opportunity to get back to 952 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,759 Speaker 1: five hundred. You have the Eagles coming into town. The 953 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 1: Eagles are finally getting healthy. Vegas liked the Bengals in 954 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 1: this game. They were favored going in and early on 955 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: it looked like the Bengals had a really good opportunity 956 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,919 Speaker 1: to win this game. And then the Eagles just take 957 00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 1: over and never look back. What's the deal with the 958 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals at three and five? Are they done? 959 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're done, because they're always in 960 00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 2: this position and every time you ride them off. They 961 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 2: win some games and they and they find a way, 962 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,320 Speaker 2: but they don't look good. They don't look good defensively. Obviously, 963 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase and Justin I mean and T Higgins and 964 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,919 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow are gonna look good. They're good players, they're 965 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 2: high level players. But it's just not enough right now. 966 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,839 Speaker 2: And it's not enough in a really competitive division where 967 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers right now have only lost two games and 968 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 2: they looked really good. They're at the top of the 969 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 2: division now, especially with Baltimore losing this week. They're now 970 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,120 Speaker 2: five and three. I just don't see a world where 971 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,560 Speaker 2: they're gonna be able to come back. And if the 972 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,240 Speaker 2: Browns look as good as they did today with Jamis 973 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 2: Winston at the Helm, they might steal a few wins 974 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 2: and give the Cincinnati Bengals a much tougher game later 975 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,880 Speaker 2: in the season. I don't know. I don't know. I 976 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 2: don't The Eagles looked good today, but it's such an 977 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 2: unpredictable league. I don't count the Bangals out just because 978 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 2: of their history and what they've been able to do 979 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,359 Speaker 2: down the stretch, but it's not looking great for them. 980 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,840 Speaker 2: The Eagles look pretty good. Sakuan has been a godsend 981 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 2: for this organization and really steadied the ship a lot 982 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 2: of these games. I think he's gonna, you know, make 983 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 2: an All Pro team this year, Pro Bowl team, especially 984 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 2: with Christian McCaffrey down and him shining the way he 985 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 2: has for the Eagles. But I don't know. I don't 986 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 2: know if I have the Eagles beating the Commanders in 987 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 2: this division quite yet. I need more consistency from them. 988 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 2: But like you said, they're getting healthier and that's good 989 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:25,000 Speaker 2: for them. 990 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,719 Speaker 1: I'm with you as well. I like the Commanders in 991 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,239 Speaker 1: this division, but the Eagles, you know, with only two 992 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 1: losses on the season and getting healthy right now, anything 993 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 1: could happen. The Chiefs go to seven and zero, they 994 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: beat the Raiders, no one's surprised by that. But Holmes 995 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: finally throws his first two tds in October, Kareem Hunt 996 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,399 Speaker 1: his four touchdowns since being backed with the team. I mean, 997 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,399 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are seven in ah. I know, we talked 998 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 1: about it last week. The likelihood of them running the 999 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 1: table and going undefeated is slim, And you said you 1000 00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 1: probably want a loss on the record so that you 1001 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,880 Speaker 1: don't have to go in to the playoffs undefeated. But 1002 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: what is it really gonna take to knock this Chiefs 1003 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 1: team off track? Because it just doesn't seem like it 1004 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: matters who they play, they always rise to the occasion. 1005 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 1: How are you approaching this Chiefs team, Richard. 1006 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to find a way to score points 1007 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 2: on this defense. Their offensive struggled at times. They've been 1008 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 2: able to take the ball away from Patrick Mahons at times. 1009 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,840 Speaker 2: The Kareem Hunt looks really good. That run game is 1010 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,399 Speaker 2: really strong. The interior of their offensive line is as 1011 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 2: good as there is in National Football League, So you're 1012 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 2: gonna have to be able to match that. You're gonna 1013 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 2: have to be able to put some d linemen down 1014 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,919 Speaker 2: there who can really compete with them the interior offensive line. 1015 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to be able to cover their receivers. 1016 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,359 Speaker 2: They just got DeAndre Hopkins and still working them into 1017 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,120 Speaker 2: the fold. Travis Kelcey looked a lot better in this game. 1018 00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 2: Ten catches for ninety yards and a touchdown. That should 1019 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 2: be alone for a lot of people, because if he 1020 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 2: gets in rhythm and they get get hot again with him, 1021 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 2: especially with all the injuries they've had and the guys out, 1022 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,399 Speaker 2: they're gonna be hard to beat again. And as long 1023 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 2: as he's in there and Patrick Mahomes is in there, 1024 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 2: they're gonna be a tough out. But defensively, again, they're 1025 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 2: a defensive team now with a great quarterback at all 1026 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 2: time quarterback. But Spags is called an unbelievable games given 1027 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,280 Speaker 2: a lot of people a lot of tough, tough outs. 1028 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 2: You saw how they played against San Francisco forty nine 1029 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 2: ers force three turnovers, three interceptions from Rock Party, and 1030 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,680 Speaker 2: they just continue to impact these games in a huge way. 1031 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 2: Chris Jones in that defensive line, George Carl Loftis Bolton 1032 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 2: and those boys and on the second level continue to 1033 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 2: impact them. But you're gonna have to score points. They're 1034 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 2: gonna have to score points in bunches, and you're gonna 1035 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 2: have to turn the ball over and you're gonna have 1036 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:54,799 Speaker 2: to stop the run in order to beat this team, 1037 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 2: and nobody has done that. That's what they're selling to zero. 1038 00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,360 Speaker 1: Now, they're gonna be a tough out. And then finally 1039 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,800 Speaker 1: we look at the Texans. They take out the Colts. 1040 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 1: This game was a lot closer than a lot of 1041 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,880 Speaker 1: folks thought it would be. You know, you talked about 1042 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,800 Speaker 1: Sakuon Barkley and how important he was to the Eagles. 1043 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 1: I think an argument can be made that Joe Mixon 1044 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,799 Speaker 1: is having that same effect with the Houston Texans team. 1045 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he's having an amazing year. It's one hundred 1046 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,160 Speaker 1: plus yards and four of the last five games for him. 1047 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 1: But I think the story of this game is Anthony Richardson. 1048 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 1: You were talking about it, we were texting during the game, 1049 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 1: and you said, he's a flat out liability. At what 1050 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,360 Speaker 1: point are the Colts going to make the change that 1051 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 1: quarterback and go with our guy, Joe Flacco because it 1052 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 1: certainly looks like if they want to win, they got 1053 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 1: to put Flaco in Your thoughts on that, rich. 1054 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,040 Speaker 2: Well, At first off, I want to give Joe Mixon 1055 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,400 Speaker 2: a lot of love because obviously a for end of 1056 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,760 Speaker 2: the program again. But I don't think we're we're talking 1057 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 2: enough about how much the Bengals miss him and what 1058 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 2: he's been, what he's brought to the Texans. When he 1059 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:59,839 Speaker 2: was hurt, their run game looked totally different. He comes 1060 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 2: back one hundred yards in four of the last five games, 1061 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,760 Speaker 2: and he's getting tough yards, he's punishing, he's running behind 1062 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,360 Speaker 2: his shoulder pads. He looks really good in the past 1063 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,760 Speaker 2: game as well, and he really just stabilizes this offense. 1064 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 2: Give CJ. Stroud a safety blanket comfort and even when 1065 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,960 Speaker 2: he's struggling a little bit or he's off a little bit, 1066 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 2: he can just turn around hand it off the Joe 1067 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 2: Mixon twenty five plus times. There are very few backs 1068 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 2: in the National Football League that can still consistently carry 1069 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 2: the ball twenty five times twenty plus times over any 1070 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 2: amount of games. And so you got to give Joe 1071 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,720 Speaker 2: Mixon a tip of the cap because he's been able 1072 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 2: to do that. But Anthony Richardson just not has not 1073 00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 2: been good. And you can really, you can really see 1074 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 2: the difference if you just side by side compare heat 1075 00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,919 Speaker 2: and and Joe Flacco, who's obviously a veteran, has played 1076 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 2: at a high level in this game. But they're not 1077 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,960 Speaker 2: going to give up on Anthony Richardson. They're gonna let him, 1078 00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 2: let him work his way through that. He made some 1079 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 2: good passes in this game. But I know if they 1080 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,680 Speaker 2: had Joe Flacco in there, the Houston Texans would feel 1081 00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:08,120 Speaker 2: a lot more unsure and uncertain about their ability to 1082 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 2: beat the Indianapolis Colts. But this is the league we're in. 1083 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,560 Speaker 2: They're not going to play the best guy. They're not 1084 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 2: going to play a guy that can win them games 1085 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 2: just because they're going to play him. You know, they're 1086 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 2: they're working for the future, and they think Anthony Richardson 1087 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 2: is the future. And just because he's not playing well 1088 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,800 Speaker 2: now doesn't mean he won't play well later. But if 1089 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 2: you're looking to win now, Joe Flacco showed you that 1090 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,360 Speaker 2: he can be really effective with these same guys. He 1091 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 2: can throw for three hundred plus yards, really be productive 1092 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 2: with this offense with the same exact guys. And then 1093 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,960 Speaker 2: you watch Anthony Richardson complete thirty five percent of his 1094 00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,280 Speaker 2: passes over the last two games since returning from injury. 1095 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 2: It's just not good enough to win games. And the 1096 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 2: Colts are still in a lot of these games. They're 1097 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 2: still one score games. Are they won? They won. They 1098 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 2: beat the Miami Dolphins with him not playing really good 1099 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 2: on offense, and they had a chance to beat the 1100 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,200 Speaker 2: Houston Tech with him struggling as much as he did. 1101 00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 2: I think he was five of nineteen at one point 1102 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 2: in this game. So you would think, hey, if you 1103 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 2: just made a little bit of a change. But these 1104 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 2: are some of the decisions they make. I remember watching 1105 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 2: Ryan Fitzpatrick play really good football with the Miami Dolphins. 1106 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 2: Maybe this was Flores's second year, this was to a 1107 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 2: tongue v Lois first year, and then all of a 1108 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 2: sudden they made a change at quarterback and to what 1109 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 2: was not ready was clear was that either he wasn't 1110 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 2: ready or this offense just didn't fit his skill set. 1111 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 2: And then they let him struggle all game for you know, 1112 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 2: under one hundred yards throwing under one hundred yards and 1113 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 2: then bring fits in like the last two drives of 1114 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 2: the game and say try to win us a game. 1115 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,040 Speaker 2: And it's just like like, at some point or another, 1116 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 2: like somebody has to look at these gms and decision 1117 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 2: makers and say, hey, maybe they need to switch these 1118 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,400 Speaker 2: guys out, Maybe we need to put some other people 1119 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 2: in these positions, because it really just doesn't make sense. 1120 00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 2: You know, I understand you trying to say, hey, we're 1121 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 2: going to develop, and you can only develop through live reps, 1122 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 2: but if you're a player in that locker room, you 1123 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,480 Speaker 2: have to be looking like, man, we just saw what 1124 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,320 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco could do. You saw Josh Downs with Joe 1125 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,920 Speaker 2: Flacco and how incredibly effective he was. You know, you 1126 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 2: saw Pittman with Joe Flacco and how effective he was. 1127 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 2: You just saw the offense putting up points. Just the 1128 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 2: scheme works, everything works, and then then you put Anthony 1129 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 2: Richardson in there and you still in games. But it's 1130 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 2: just because you got a really good team. You got 1131 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,440 Speaker 2: a defense that makes plays that it puts enough pressure 1132 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 2: that a special teams that's discipline doesn't give up big plays. 1133 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 2: But you're not getting enough offensively. You're not getting as 1134 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 2: much offensively as you could with Joe Flacco, and that 1135 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,920 Speaker 2: has to be frustrating for the players that have watched 1136 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 2: been there for both. 1137 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:47,080 Speaker 1: Quarterback There's no question and unlike tu a tongue of Iloa. 1138 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 1: You know, Anthony Richardson, I think a lot of folks 1139 01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: and I'm no NFL scout Richard but he had completion 1140 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:58,840 Speaker 1: percentage issues at Florida. The volume was just not there. 1141 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 1: I mean this ten and third two that that was 1142 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,480 Speaker 1: something that I think Florida Gator fans were used to 1143 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 1: seeing uh In when he was at Florida, so I 1144 01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 1: think a lot of folks were surprised to see him 1145 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,640 Speaker 1: go as high as he did in the draft in 1146 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 1: the first place. So maybe this isn't his fault, rich 1147 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 1: Maybe this is folks that are, you know, over analyzing 1148 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: his game because he's an incredible athlete and throw the 1149 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,160 Speaker 1: ball eighty yards, but he's not accurate. He's not like Tua. 1150 01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:27,240 Speaker 1: Tua was a gunslinger and in Alabama led the team 1151 01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 1: to national championships. So like, yeah, I know you were 1152 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 1: upset back then, but I would put Joe Flacco in, 1153 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,360 Speaker 1: give this cold steam an opportunity to win weekend week out, 1154 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,240 Speaker 1: and develop Anthony Richardson a little bit more behind a 1155 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 1: proven veteran. 1156 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 2: But we'll see that that's part of development. Like watch 1157 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,560 Speaker 2: how Joe Flacco does it, Watch how he prepares, watch 1158 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 2: how he throws it. I ask some questions. See how 1159 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 2: he's getting through games, how he talks, how he watched 1160 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 2: his film on the sideline during games. But you're you're, you're, 1161 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 2: you're wasting away a really solid, really talented team for 1162 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 2: no reason. And it's not Anthony Richardson's fault, but it 1163 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 2: is the people who keep putting them out there when 1164 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 2: there is a better option on your. 1165 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,959 Speaker 1: Team, no question.
