1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Ryan on the drills and that's called for he touchdown trial.

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: We'll run into the end zone and I'm checking and

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: boiling and full of fan was Jones and good luck

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: trying to stop that. Ryan fires and that is calling

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: for a touchdown by ohta's hooper Matt Ryan. Touchdown passed

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: of the night, Matt Ryan making it look easy on

7
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football forty three to eight. Atlanta Falcons take

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: care of business in the NFC South And to me,

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: just another week where Matt Ryan put another little, a

10
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: little part of his m VP candidacy on display for

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: everyone to watch. He was on fire today. Yeah, they

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: made it look easy. They actually made it look easier

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: than the final score would suggest. They blew some opportunities

14
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: in the first off and including my whipping boy, Josh Perkins,

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: a tight end for the Falcons who dropped an easy touchdown.

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't a perfect throw, but tight ends should make

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: that play. You gotta focus on that. This is a

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: perfect game for them, just about they, because this could

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: have been easily just like that September game from two

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: years ago when they scored fifty six points. They could

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: have they could have flirted with sixty in this game.

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: By the way, that's that's Chris Westley. The Mailman. Didn't

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: even introduce him. Be so famous, he doesn't really need

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: an introduction. But this is our Week nine preview show,

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: of course, and we're gonna get to Dan Hansis Mark

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Sessler uh in just a few minutes to go through

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: all the Week nine games. But but this team, the Falcons,

28
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: they pick up twenty yards to me, easier than any

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: team I've seen in a while. It's just like twenty

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: yard chunks, twenty yar. He makes it look so simple,

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: at the anticipation, the accuracy. He's just feeling it right now.

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: And you pointed out to me an NFL research note,

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: they were averaging more yards per play right now, the Falcons,

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: than any team since with the Falcons two thousand rams

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: the greatest show, I mean right the two thousand one Raigns.

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: That's insane. Two thousand rams, greatest show on turf. That's

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: more than the two thousand seven Patriots, more than the

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen Broncos. This this is an explosive, dynamic offense.

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: And they didn't even have Tevin Coleman, who had been

40
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: the biggest mismatch of any running back in the league

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: in the passing game this year. But they did have

42
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, who I think it might need to stay

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: as the starter when Jacob Tammy comes back, or either way,

44
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: they have two good tight end options there. They have

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel who's just so fast when they use him.

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's too small to touch the ball ten

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: times a game, but he's a weapon. Well, he's one

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: of the waiver pickups of the year. And as to

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the credit of Kyle Shanahan and Matt Ryan that they

50
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: used so many different guys and played to their strengths

51
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: in a limited rule. That trio of tight ends is

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: on pace for a thousand yards and twelve touchdowns. It's

53
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: like a Tony Gonzalez season. And Julio Jones explained after

54
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: the game kind of how hard this offense is to cover.

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: He basically said, they're double covering me. They're sending all

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: sorts of coverage at him throughout the first half, and

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: the Falcons are going up and down the field. So

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: the first drive of the second half, the Bucks made

59
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of an adjustment. They tried to do

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: some other things, get creative. Basically, he had hard Graves

61
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: in single coverage, so he just catches three or four

62
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: passes right on. Hard Graves goes right down the field,

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: looked like an adult playing against the kid on the touchdown,

64
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: and he ends up with with a relatively quiet eight

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: for one eleven. That's just what he does, and he'll

66
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: end up with about thirty fewer receptions this year and

67
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: almost the same amount of yards because he's a more

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: efficient player and he's the engine that makes the best

69
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. Go six and three now for

70
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I don't think this team is gonna fade.

71
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be at NFC South Race.

72
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't think the Falcons let the Saints or Panthers

73
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: get back into it. Forget the Bucks. I know they're

74
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: only three and five, but they're one of the worst

75
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: teams in the league. And I think you what you

76
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: really saw in this game. One of the biggest differences

77
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: was the pass rush. That the Falcons have a pass

78
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: rush and the Bucks absolutely do not. Matt Ryan felt

79
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: no pressure, but Adrian Claiborne Vic Beasley both playing pretty well. Yeah.

80
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: I made a joking comment that Adrian Claiborne is a

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: defensive player of your candidate. He's not that, and he

82
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: might not make the Pro Bowl, but this is easily

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: his best season, and he's been He's been getting in

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks faces for a month now. We've we've said it here,

85
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: and I think Collinsworth had a good point that you

86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: could see this defense playing a lot better by the

87
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: end of the season. They were. They're not a good

88
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: defense now, but you can see the parts that they have.

89
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: They have some talent that I think they could come

90
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: together and play. You could see maybe week fifteen playoffs,

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: you can see them putting together four or five good

92
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: weeks where they're a slightly above average defense, and that's

93
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: enough for this team to maybe go to the Super Bowl.

94
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: There's a weird dichotomy I play with them because they

95
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: already have more sacks than all of last season, but

96
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: they have also given up more UH passing touchdowns than

97
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: all of last season. And Desmond Truffont, by far their

98
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: best cornerback, left this game with a shoulder injury and

99
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: never returned well quickly. We don't want to spend too

100
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: much time in this game. Jamis Winston left with a

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: knee injury late. It sounded like after the game, he

102
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: was fine, That's what he told reporters, and he was

103
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: walking around talking to everyone. This to me was the

104
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: typical Jamis Winston performance of the year. I think if

105
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: you watch the game, you saw the talent. You saw

106
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: the old man, crafty, kind of crazy place. You saw

107
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: him being a little reckless with his body and taking

108
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: a huge hit at the goal line, and you saw

109
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: just you know that he's not good enough to carry

110
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: a lousy franchise. He's good, but you know it's just

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: not good enough. He also saw Mike Evans, whom even

112
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: Desmond Trufont couldn't cover. Once he left, the Falcons cornerbacks

113
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: had no chance. Mike Evans is having a Pro Bowl year,

114
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: borderline all pro. The one handed catch by Evans on

115
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: the sideline before he took a shot was maybe the

116
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: catch of the year. One handed catch, and then he

117
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: just got absolutely lasted right under the chin. I mean,

118
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: Winston took one under the chin and on his back

119
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: on a play that he switched to his left hand.

120
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: I think there, I think they are who we thought

121
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: they were, Winston and Evans. It's just a bad team.

122
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, they don't surround them with good players. Back

123
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: to the Falcons before we sign off. I think this

124
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: team is here to stay. They're a legitimate Super Bowl

125
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: contender and they're one of the top five teams to

126
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: watch as far as excitement, and they they close out

127
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: the season after the bye week with four of six

128
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: home games. Too. You didn't say it, so I'll say

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm out of my chair getting excited. If that's so

130
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: fired up about the Falcons. Uh. Fun team. Even though

131
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't that fun a game, they provided some entertainment.

132
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully we will do the same. Let's go to Dan

133
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: and preview the Week nine games the Around the NFL

134
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: Podcast as majority ownership in the Portland River Halls. Welcome

135
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

136
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas and I am joined by

137
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: a room Phil with heroes Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and

138
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Gregg Rose. It all what's up boys? Hey, Dan Um

139
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: came up with a great new term before the show today.

140
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: We all as it was kind of like a little

141
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: group think when you really get like banged in a

142
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: big spot. You just got WestEd, I mean specifically banged

143
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: by you know, verbally by west an individual. Chris Wesley. Oh,

144
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: you just got WestEd. But I think it could apply

145
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: even if West isn't involved. If someone just stops you

146
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: cold in a big spot, you got WestEd. Well, somebody

147
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: that brought back the Dean screen. I could tell you

148
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: it's not easy to bring things back or creators to

149
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: be a creator. But I think this one has the legs.

150
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: Where's the derivation of this? What do you mean how

151
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: did it start? I don't know. We were just chatting,

152
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: but I think it needs a sort of primary powder

153
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: Keg moment where almost everyone involved, the whole nation would

154
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: say this thing involved West and then it becomes a

155
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: verb and chi Super Bowl one, Patriots up or down?

156
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: You know, they're driving down the field. West runs out

157
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: on the field completely nude, punches Tom Brady in the face,

158
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: knocks him out of the game. Atriots lose because Jake

159
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: Brisket fails and what happens? What's the the only way

160
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: you can look at things afterwards? You just got worst.

161
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: It's a scenario. I love it, and I think Dan,

162
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: you would need to, you know, you need to tweet

163
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: that out and then it just gets retweeted by We're

164
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: only halfway there. Once the knockout happened. Yeah, you're definitely

165
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: right about that. On the end around. Yeah, that's an

166
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: end around post for sure. Uh. This is the Thursday edition,

167
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,359

170
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: moved his h his classroom of gentle giants, but he

171
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: has not um. Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs who won

172
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: the World Series in seven games. Yes, yes, the Cubs

173
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: who came back from a three one deficit and uh

174
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: forced the game seven and then won that game seven. Fear,

175
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: why do we need that sound effects to translate what's

176
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: happening here? For once? I want a shadowy league figure

177
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: to tell us we can't use some sound drops. Memories

178
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: you don't remember? I remember? Oh sorry, guys, best best

179
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: game seven you've ever seen. It's a great one. I

180
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: would put it right up there, probably given them all

181
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: the history involved for baseball specifically, I would say yes,

182
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: I would, And I feel better. I feel bad for

183
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: all those Indians fans, including Tom Blair who works downstairs.

184
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: There's a great job for us. Came to work with

185
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: a stiff stiff upper lift. But him and millions of

186
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: other Indians fans did that. Millions of fans, Mark, you

187
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: tell us you're the Cleveland resident they've got. Well, I

188
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: I've sensed all along that I've not been allowed to

189
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: participate in this, uh, this baseball aspect because it's like

190
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: Mark doesn't like baseball. So even though this lifelong Cleveland

191
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: fan is sitting three feet from Tom Blair, all all

192
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: comments will be pointed specifically at Tom Blair about your

193
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: saying that I. I will say this, I roote hardcore

194
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: for the city of Cleveland. There I have no other

195
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: loyalty than the Cleveland Browns. And I've watched that city.

196
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: I watched craiggy Low against Jordan's, I watched both Indian

197
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: series that they lost in the in the nineties. I

198
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: rooted hard for them because of the city. That said,

199
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: it's an impossible fix to go up against the Cubs

200
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: and not realize that you are going not the villain rule.

201
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: It did play out a little bit on Twitter, and

202
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: I watched part of this at a restaurant in l

203
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: A and it was unbelievable. L A. Well, l A

204
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: is just absolutely a bandwagon jumping town. In one, but

205
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: the whole place was like Cubs. But I get it.

206
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: Representative of the of the country, I think so too.

207
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: I get it. It It was it was not an easy

208
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: pr angle for for the Indians. And congratulations to Cubs fans.

209
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: There are a lot of loyal Cubs fans in our

210
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: office time, at least today. I honestly thought that you

211
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: were just brown specific and remember at all for the Calves,

212
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: but it was I mean I was with you during

213
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: that actually like invested in it, and well, Audiens, because

214
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: you usually have kind of I may not have telecast

215
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: my feelings strong enough, you know at the multiple Calves

216
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: games who went to because it meant a lot for

217
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: that city to get the monkey off it's back, And

218
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: now they're treated as if they are you know, sports

219
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: version of the New England Patriots, where too much success

220
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: for the city of Cleveland, go back, go be put

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: back in your place. Now, to those who who say

222
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: that you don't know baseball, there's twitter evidence that your

223
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: sources discovered Chris Bryant when he was still in the

224
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: minor leagues, and you were all over that. You reported

225
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: that how they were going to handle his promotion, how

226
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: you is gonna do once he got to the Cubs.

227
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I feel like Mark put his stamp on the Chris

228
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: Bryant story that all sounds totally made up. No, it's

229
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: out there. Well actually tweeted I send this to you

230
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: last night. In the text, Dan has just gone a

231
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: complete blackout of anything. Mark sessla related to this was

232
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: this was a a a fortune telling tweet from two

233
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen about christ Per I can't I can't

234
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: let society think that Mark's in on baseball. I can't

235
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: allow it. As I know it's it's what I'm saying,

236
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: it's a campaign of yours to shut me out of

237
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: this experience. And I've not said anything, but I have

238
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: certainly noticed it. And it is a very odd stance

239
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: for you to be taking, because it's a sport that

240
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: you want people to embrace, and yet you're shutting close

241
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: friends out of the experience. It feels slightly possessive and

242
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: slightly bizarre. I mean, that's fair criticism, but is it.

243
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be in, I want you all the

244
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: way in. Well I won't. I won't do that, all right.

245
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: Today's edition of the You just heard at the top

246
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: of the show. Uh, the recap from the scientists of

247
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, which is um

248
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: now in the books. But we still have a bunch

249
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: of games to talk to, ten talk about, ten games

250
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: to talk about, including uh, Monday Night affair. So um,

251
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: so much to get to Greg, so much big show,

Speaker 1: so much football it again too, So why don't we

Speaker 1: start with the one pm games? In the first game

254
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: we'll talk about here the Detroit Lions traveling to Minnesota

255
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: to face the Vikings. Uh. And of course we have

256
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: some news to get to off the top involving the

257
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: Vikings and their offensive coordinator or Turner. Oh, you know,

258
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: we all decided that this was a group thing. I

259
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: don't know what that Wait, what was that? I didn't

260
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: hear it? Of hell, that's come on, grow up? What's

261
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: that you're saying? Who should grow up? Sydney? She made that?

262
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think Sydney. You're a truthful person

263
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: who provided the verbalization for the last part of the

264
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: hell part of that? Who I want you to tell

265
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: the truth? Listen, I tell the truth. I don't actually

266
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: know his name, yea, she doesn't know. Let's move on,

267
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: Nor of Turner, who knows who did it, nor of

268
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: Turner has resigned his offensive coordinator of the Vikings, a

269
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: sudden resignation, one that no one saw coming. And Greg,

270
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: what what do you make What do you make of this?

271
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: What are you hearing read between the tea leaves for

272
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: us with this resignation, I'm not hearing anything past insider.

273
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm it sounded like North Turner didn't like the direction

274
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: he was getting from his boss, and he respects Mike Zimmer,

275
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: but he didn't want to continue to coach his offense

276
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: with Zimmer apparently having some ideas, having some restrictions, wanted

277
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: him to do at things a certain way. He just

278
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: couldn't agree. Get out. There's another element to this too,

279
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: and that this trade for Sam Bradford, and listen, I

280
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: have something to talk to you about on the team

281
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: of a t L next week. We'll get to it then.

282
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: But there is something to be said that the deal

283
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: was largely pushed for by Pat Shermer, who was at

284
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: the time the quarterbacks coach and now is the play caller,

285
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: and that in that I'm just saying that Shermer and Bradford,

286
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: their careers have been linked for many years, and I

287
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: wonder if Turner felt either that he was not. I

288
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a power issue, but there was

289
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: a lot going on here besides Norv Turner just running

290
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: the offense without any sort of checks and balance. There

291
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: is a report on NFL netwhere people thought going into

292
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: the year this was gonna be North Turner's last season

293
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: in Minnesota for some of these philosophical differences. They brought

294
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: in Shermer and Tony Sperrano, two former head coaches, into

295
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: the staff this year, so there was something bubbling up

296
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: even before. But if it was, if it were truly toxic,

297
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean Scott Turner, who were means the quarterbacks coaches

298
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: still on the team. So it tells you that. And

299
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: I do believe that there is respect between Zimmer and

300
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: Norv Turner. It's not like a burned down the house

301
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: type thing. I think you wanted out. Well, here's Vikings

302
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: that played seven games. Uh, they have eleven touchdowns on offense,

303
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: so they gotta get better. We'll see if they can

304
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions, who um aren't world beaters on

305
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: defense and the and the best news for the Vikings

306
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: after two straight losses, UM number one, there's still five

307
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: and two, which is very good position to be in.

308
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: But number two West Uh. They they their home field

309
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: advantage has been excellent so far. They feel like they're

310
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: in a good spot here. It's not a small factor.

311
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people who have followed football

312
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: for years believe that offensive line play, in particular struggles

313
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: on the road versus at home because you can hear

314
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: the snap count, you can brace for the ad dreshers

315
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: coming at you, and I think this is a welcome

316
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: trip home for that Vikings offensive line that has really,

317
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, given up so much, so much pressure on

318
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: the road the last two weeks. I mean two sacks

319
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: or eleven sacks for Bradford over the last two weeks.

320
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, they signed our Monty Bryant and he actually

321
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: been playing pretty well for the Lions, and he was

322
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: part of their pastors. He's out suspended Carrie Hiders. He's

323
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: gotten pressure as well. But it's not it's not the Eagles,

324
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: and it's not that it's it's not the worst. It's

325
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: arguing the worst defense in football. I mean, I would

326
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: put the Browns lower, but the Lions have been in

327
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: the mix for the least effective. So if ever you

328
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: were going to have a game uh to protect him, well,

329
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: this would be it. Because your boy Sydney, our producer Ziggyanza.

330
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you put some sandwiches on Ziggy Onza getting

331
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks and uh, that's not happening. He

332
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: might have less sacks than you o sandwiches. By the

333
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: end of the season. He is healthy again, apparently he's playing.

334
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: Does this team need to start lining up an extra

335
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: tackle and going multiple two or three tight end sets

336
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: to even keep this offensive load? Yes, I think you

337
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: need to put a tight end out there. You need

338
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: to chip block, you definitely need help for the tackle.

339
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: I mean that this is obviously not a must win

340
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: team game for a five and two team, but they

341
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: gotta win this game. I think it is, to be honest,

342
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: stopped the snowball here because there's a lot of bad

343
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: vibes around the team right now, and you're in a

344
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: good spot. The Lions are nice, frisky team, but they're

345
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: not a great team. You gotta win this ball game.

346
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: You've got the red Skinness Cardinals, Lions and Cowboys coming

347
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: up next for Minnesota. Three weeks ago, we would have

348
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: thought you can mow go three and one down that

349
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: stretch with the team we were seeing, it's hard to

350
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: pick what games they're gonna win with the wave and

351
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: that they've been playing. Uh, let's move on, gentlemen, and

352
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: talk about the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants and

353
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: NFC East showdown here between two four and three teams.

354
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: I think there was a general feeling that, uh, the

355
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: NFC East was gonna go right down to the wire.

356
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: And perhaps it's still may but right now it kind

357
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: of seems this thing stamp that the Cowboys are little

358
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: to a lot better than the other three teams and

359
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: everyone else is close packed, closely packed together. West. Do

360
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: you see that? See it that way with the Eagles

361
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: and Giants. Yeah, I think they are two similar teams

362
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: and and I know the Eagles roared out to a

363
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: strong start, but over the last four weeks they've been

364
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: outscored by their opponents, and in the last two weeks,

365
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is the only quarterback in the NFL not

366
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: to complete a pass of fifteen or more air yards,

367
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: which is the biggest problem with the Eagles offense right now.

368
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: They have no downfield element. The receivers aren't very good

369
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: and I know we've getting credit to the Eagles because

370
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz with the same players Chip Kelly had is

371
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: basically getting it done and turning out a great defense.

372
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: But the offense is not. And the only team with

373
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: fewer big plays this year is the forty Niners. So

374
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's the chip Imbrint that he

375
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: left these players in Philadelphia that can't make plays. It's

376
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: funny because the Niners also having a massive issue at

377
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and you cannot get through an NFL season

378
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: with a talent poor pass catching crew, and they if

379
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: they massed to some degree early on. Jorge Matthews played

380
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: very well in the early part of the year. The

381
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: game plan against the Cowboys was very clear, we are

382
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: not going to test the field, and the Giants secondary

383
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: makes that tough. I think that I think Carson Wentz

384
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: played well against Dallas. I mean, he executed what they

385
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: wanted him to do. For the most part. They had

386
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: four or five drops Aglare and Dorio Green Beckham. It's

387
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: a it's a woeful starting combination. They had to cut

388
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: Josh Huff because of his arrest this week. He wasn't

389
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: a huge factor, although he'd been helping on special teams

390
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: quite a bit, and they have to go against the

391
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: Giant secondary, which is one of the best in the league.

392
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: You're trying to find some open guys with al Golar,

393
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: Dorio Green, Beckham and zach Ertz. By the way, where

394
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: zach Ertz the same. I think he's said about seven

395
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: or eight catches the last you know, six weeks or

396
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: something like that, going up against Rogers, Cromarty and land

397
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: In Collins, who's fantastic, and Generes Jenkins like good night,

398
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a ten to six game. Well,

399
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: on top of it, you've got a running game where

400
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: the coach had to come out and clarify for Beat

401
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: writers that Ryan Matthews is still the lead guy this

402
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: week coming off a game where he had eight snaps.

403
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: He's had three or four games over the last month

404
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: where he's had been around eight or eleven snaps, and

405
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls is dominating playing time. Running game is not

406
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: a problem for them. They they've been running the ball

407
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: pretty well. Giants haven't had over forty five yards rushing

408
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: in three weeks as a team. That's hard to do

409
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: as a team. They haven't topped forty five yards. What

410
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: about your boy, though, Odell Beckham from week nine to

411
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: the end of the year over his career, there's no

412
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: better receiver in the league from week nine on. It

413
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: is his time. But you need the quarterback in the

414
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: play caller to get you the ball and how's his hip?

415
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: Is that a real issue to track going forward? Hey,

416
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: I know this, uh this game is evenly match ten six.

417
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: I like the sound of that. Greg not bad, But

418
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't like this matchup at all for the Eagles.

419
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: I think they will rule the day they let that

420
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: uh Dallas game get away from him. I think it

421
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: could change the complexion of their entire season. And I

422
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: don't like them going on the road here where their

423
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: offense isn't playing that well and they're not gonna be

424
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: able to challenge downfield. And I think, I don't know,

425
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: but I think the Giants are eventually gonna start playing

426
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: better on offense. And I see it happening here. And

427
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm so confident, in fact, Chris Westling, so confident at

428
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: the metal ends. That's what you'll find my lock. You're

429
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna lock it up of the week. Lock it up, baby,

430
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: seal it up, throw away the key. Well it's not

431
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: a key, it's one of those turn things. Throw away

432
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: the combination. Don't need to get in there, it's already

433
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: locked up and really selling it. I mean you sounded

434
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: stunningly like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. That was a very

435
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: good seventies ref. I knew it. I got it. Eagles

436
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: are done for the year. Why because you know Dan

437
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: just locked it up first of all, and you do

438
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: not want to be the team that's ruining the day.

439
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: They're ruining the day. We ever want to ruine the day? Well,

440
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: we picked this game, by the way, in our NFL

Speaker 1: you know, back it up three hour and if you're

447
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: in the UK or elsewhere overseas, your bang. I already

448
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: know what our picks are for this game, and I

449
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: got a hero pick on the old Eagles. Well you

450
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: better hope that happens. Greg they played the Falcon, Seahawks,

451
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: Packers and Bengals. After this season, you're gonna rue the day, baby.

452
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on schedule stuff. Next up my

453
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: New York Jets, who have won two in a row.

454
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: You know, I I sneaky. I'm not gonna say I

455
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: bought back in, but hope is still in the building

456
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: that hands this manner here in Culverge do it? I know,

457
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: I know I shouldn't west. I can't control myself. They're

458
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: three and five, win over the Browns. Swayed you that

459
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: heavily back to back wins. Listen, I am a fan

460
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 1: that is always hopeful, optimistic fan. Like it or not,

461
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: that's just who I am. I wish it wasn't that way.

462
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: But I look at this schedule and I say, let's

463
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: there's a gleam, gentleman, and there's also a pulse. The

464
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Jets of three and five. They go to Miami now

465
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: to face the Dolphins team that's playing better. I think

466
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: I rightly made sure they weren't forked because they're a

467
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: little bit frisky right now, and I honestly think it's

468
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: a very good chance, all kidding aside, the Dolphins win

469
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: this game. In fact, I took the Dolphins for our

470
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: pick up show. I do think that the Jets. I

471
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: don't think the Jets are good. I'm just saying if

472
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: they got this win and then they got the Rams

473
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: at home five and five the bye week, not a

474
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 1: crazy thought. But Greg, I mean, I don't see it.

475
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: Are you annoyed? Are you annoyed at this point that

476
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: the Dolphins down on their luck after that ugly Thursday

477
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: night game. Listen to the podcast as they always do.

478
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: They heard that Dan Hansus was not gonna fork them,

479
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: and they thought, you know what, no one else believes

480
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: in us, but old Danny boy does. Let's start running

481
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: the ball with Jay Gi. Let's start playing hard. Let's

482
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: do it for Dan. Now they're three and four, you

483
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: turn their season around. It's a weird way to look

484
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: at things, but I'll take it. I'll take at least

485
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: you have, you know, one of your defensive stalwarts. Sheldon

486
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: Richardson telling the media, I'm the odd man out, what

487
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: know what, he's right, should say it, But I'm not

488
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: saying he's wrong. It's just that's trying to the mindset

489
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: you're going into trying to stop a running back that's

490
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: had two hundred yards back. I don't think he'll have

491
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: a hundred yards I think of the Jets lose, I

492
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: don't think it will be because they get shredded by

493
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: j g I. As much as I like, the guy

494
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: was so refreshing last year that the circus was gone

495
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: when Rex left, the Todd Bowls kept everything under control,

496
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: there was no drama. And this year the circus is back.

497
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: You've got Ryan Fitzpatrick going off on people, the geno

498
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: Smith factor. You've got Sheldon Richardson calling himself the odd

499
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: man out and why are they trying to trade him anyway?

500
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: Rieva's telling a reporter that he's basically washed up. Yeah,

501
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: the circus is back in town for the Jets. It's

502
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: not a good sign. They they need to have. The

503
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: circus is almost a good thing for mccagnan and Todd

504
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: Bowls and everyone to distract him from the real problem

505
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: is that they never develop anyone. This team doesn't have

506
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: any homeground. They got Quincy Nooner, Okay, how about Williams.

507
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: They have they have leather rooms, but they lose Eric

508
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: Decker and it's like the most devastating thing in the world.

509
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick free agent Marshall free agent? Uh, who else we got?

510
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: Well develop it's all and brought back on offense. You

511
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: have nothing to build around your older players. You know,

512
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: Nick Mangolds not in this game. Mohammed Wilkerson's probably not

513
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: in this game. They're not giving them what I think.

514
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: I think part of this is the it's easy to

515
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: say that and I agree with you that they're built

516
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: as an older team. That's that's expensive with the got

517
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: some expensive parts, but you had you had the what's

518
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: his name, the Iceberg or whatever, what was it called

519
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: the Glacier John it sick who They came in and

520
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: wanted to make good with the fans and do undo

521
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: some of the harm that It's Sick created in terms

522
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: of not bringing in players. You you over pay reeves

523
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: to get them back in the building, and it was

524
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: I thought the trade for Brandon Marshall was inexpensive and good,

525
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: but a lot of other things they've done are it's

526
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: it's patches with veteran play. You have to develop younger guys,

527
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: but they're only they're only a year and a half

528
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: into there into the team. Listen, and we say it

529
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: all the time the Jets, I think things would be

530
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: a lot better off if Ryan Fitzpatrick would have been

531
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: like the guy who was last year. But once he

532
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: reverted back to being right Fitzpatrick and then the double

533
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: trouble hit of Revas going off a cliff, which nobody

534
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: really saw to this extent, they were done. They've been

535
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: fine in the last game and a half since they

536
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: brought him back because they have a running game Fitzpatrick.

537
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: He's been okay, but that's what he looks. That's what

538
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: he was last year. Ultimately, people dropping some interceptions. They

539
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: don't have Decker, but you give him a little bit

540
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: of a running game, and you know, it looks pretty good.

541
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: If you lose this game, do you want to see

542
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: Bryce Petty dan or or do you still think there's

543
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: a chance for the playo. No, they need to get

544
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: to the buy five five and one or five and five.

545
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: They really do, so I would love to see Bryce

546
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: Petty if if they lose one of these next two games.

547
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: I am sneaky excited about this game because the winner

548
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: will have won three straight games and feel very good

549
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: about themselves, will have come back from the dead, and

550
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: I love the j G I a versus the rushed

551
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: defense matchup battle because if nothing else, the Dolphins kind

552
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 1: of said, hey, this is who we are now, and

553
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: no one tries to even run against the Jets and

554
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: Jay Giant. We kind of throw it off like, oh yeah,

555
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: he had two hundred yards back to back games. That's

556
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: insane that he's gonna be the Yao ming, Well, you

557
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: can also also throw against the Jets. So there's you know,

558
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: there's that you're making a face about such a great

559
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: game to be excited. I'm just saying the Dolphins, especially

560
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: if they win, I think and feel like, hey, we're

561
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: in this, We're in the mix. Uh. Yes, anybody can

562
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: throw against the Jets, but Ryan Town Hills involved, so

563
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: that could be negated to well, we'll find out. Moving

564
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: on another a f C matchup, here's the Jacksonville Jaguars

565
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: traveling to Kansas City to face the Chiefs and West.

566
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: Can you provide me a little bit of insight here?

567
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: Explain it to me. Why is Alex Smith? Where's Alex Smith?

568
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Is Nick Foles the new starter with the Chiefs. What's

569
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: happening in Kansas City? I don't understand it. I don't

570
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: know how you can. The team comes out and says

571
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a concussion, but he does have an

572
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: head head injury, and he's not gonna play. I mean,

573
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: either he's concussed or he's not. They play it. They

574
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: play things safely, and they should be applauded for that.

575
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: They've done this in the past, not just a MIDI

576
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: has a concussion. And if you're so worried about safety, hey,

577
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: hey guys, maybe after he goes through the concussion protocol

578
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of last game and maybe don't don't

579
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: have him run the read option a few more times

580
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: to get his head cracked. That's what That's how he

581
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: got hurt. The second of this is on Alex smith

582
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: slide earlier. Yeah, he blamed the practice field this week

583
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: to the whole thing is weird. This this is a

584
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: battle of two franchises that were rebuilt in two thousand thirteen.

585
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: One of them is going north and the other one

586
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: continues to go south. And I think you can also

587
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: call it the Quarterback Coaching Bowl. Bake Bortles, his mechanics

588
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: are a mess. For two out of three years he's

589
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: been in Jacksonville. They can't fix that. Nick Foles was broken.

590
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: Okin with the Rams comes to Kansas City, and plays

591
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: puts up a one third or thirty passer raiding and

592
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: relief against Alex Smith. You could tell he was more confident,

593
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: he was smoother in the pocket, he was more accurate,

594
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: and Ay Reid deserves some credit for do you feel

595
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: the the fulls thing specifically is a carryover operation where

596
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: we could see that from week to week. I wonder

597
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: if that was a sometimes reliever they come in, a

598
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: backup comes in and just lights up the sky. Because

599
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: it's a fair question. I don't know the answer to that.

600
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: I can only tell you that he did look like

601
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: he looked like the Nick Foles that we saw at

602
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: times in Philadelphia under Andy Reid, not the nick Foles

603
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: we saw. He gives him a vertical game, but he's

604
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: not taking I'm not saying that at all. Speaking of

605
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: Andy Reid a little aside here, the Chiefs one fifteen

606
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: of seventeen dating back to last year. They won a

607
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: playoff game last year. Is he the most underrated coach

608
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: of his generation? It's well, yes, let's that's a good question,

609
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: and I think he's certainly a candidate. Another way to

610
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: look at it, is any other any team in the

611
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: league that won fifteen out of seventeen. What how have

612
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: some buzz around it. The Chiefs continue to be seen

613
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: as this also ran Well, we've been talking about them

614
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot. We all pick them. The way I'm saying

615
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: this year, they're ignored. They're just more. I think it

616
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: is because I think Alex Smith, and it's this is

617
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: not unfair. You look at the team the way they're built.

618
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: You have to respect them. But there's also this very

619
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: clear cut ceiling because he you don't get to the

620
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: super Bowl often with average quarterback play, and he's not

621
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: statistically he's above average, but he's Alex Smith. They they

622
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: have reached the next level though, as an organization. When

623
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is your starter last week he comes into

624
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: the game Sharkandrick West is your running back. There's no

625
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: Spencer where this week. And they're huge favorites the Colts.

626
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: They had plenty of time to come back in that

627
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: game after Foles and West are the two leading guys,

628
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: and it's like, Nope, it doesn't matter. That's the type

629
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: that's Patriots Seahawks level type stuff. Doesn't matter who's in there.

630
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: The system is gonna beat you, at least bad teams

631
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: like this, and they're in third place five and two

632
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: and they're sitting in third place. UM, let's move on,

633
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: guys and talk about the Dallas Cowboys now six and

634
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: one after that exciting overtime win over the Eagles in

635
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. Now they travel to Cleveland. Uh. Downtrodden,

636
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: heartbroken Cleveland after the Indians lost. Uh. Now they get

637
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: to watch the oh and eight Browns. Uh. And on

638
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: one comment I'll make Like last week, for instance, I

639
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: got a hero pick on the Jets. I feel like

640
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot, and not just from this room,

641
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people picking the Browns week to week.

642
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: And the one thing I took out of the Jets

643
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: game was there's a reason the Browns lose all these

644
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: games because it is one of the worst defenses you're

645
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: ever gonna see. So for people that are gonna say, oh,

646
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: this is a trap game, to me, it goes back

647
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: to the same thing Mark, which is the Browns have

648
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: no ability to close because they don't have the players

649
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: and maybe they don't have the scheme. The Browns are

650
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: a mess and people don't seem to look at them

651
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: that way. There are a mess on one side of

652
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: the ball, specifically, they're overmanned. They have too many young players.

653
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean one reason in that a trade for a

654
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: guy like Jamie Collins, regardless of the fact that New

655
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 1: England has shipped out Jamie Collins acting like he's one

656
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: of the worst football players that ever say, but you

657
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: need some older leadership and some guys that have kind

658
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: of been there before. That is one of the youngest

659
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: defenses and they're taking their lumps, if you want to.

660
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: The reason people I think we're picking Cleveland is because

661
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: the way that Hugh Jackson is coached from quarterback to quarterback,

662
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: what he's dealt with in the fact that you still

663
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: see serviceable quarterback performances most week to week, whether it's

664
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler or Josh McCown, and their ability as an

665
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: offense to to go through all those variations, and the

666
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: fact that you get Corey Coleman back, and the fact

667
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: that the reason the Browns were dominating the Jets in

668
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: the first half because Terrell Prior was absolutely unstoppable and

669
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: there aren't many cornerbacks that can shut them down. All

670
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: that is present so they can stay in some of

671
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: the games these games. But by any way you look

672
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: at it, it's not just their past defense. Their run

673
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: defense is an absolute disaster right now, after starting stronger

674
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: than it should have earlier in the well, right outrageous.

675
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: You look at this matchup and tell me how you

676
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: are going to stop Jason Witten, How you're gonna stop

677
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: Cole beasl you haven't stopped slot receivers all year, or

678
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: tight you're gonna have their offensive line, their offensive whatsoever.

679
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: We haven't even mentioned Ezekiel elliott I. Just this game

680
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: is not a trap game. This is this is a

681
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: game that could be a wipeout tight material for Cleveland,

682
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: where the fall the floor falls out early and the

683
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: game script if there is one for the Browns, is

684
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: blown up by halftime. If not the quarter Eliot's ammortal

685
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: lock for a hundred and fifty total yards here. I

686
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: mean everything is set up well for him to have

687
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: a monster game, barring them taking him out early and

688
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: putting Alf Morrison. Yes, do you have any Brown sources

689
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: with any idea who's going to start at quarterback? Well?

690
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: The only note I do not personally, but but people,

691
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: some people that work inside the building in their media

692
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: limb have talked more about it being Kessler. I think

693
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: at this point with Josh McCown. It could be a

694
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Browns coach next year if he wanted. Probably, I don't

695
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: know if it's a bad idea to I think the

696
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: Browns could be frisky if mccowm was starting, if McCom

697
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: was starting, throwing to prior in Coleman against the Cowboys

698
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: secondary missing Barry Church and Morris Clayborne. I think the

699
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: Browns can put up some points. Kessler. I know everybody's

700
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: really high on him, and he's exceeded expectations too many

701
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: three and ounce for my like, down down was a

702
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: big part of the problem last week too, though in

703
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: the second half that's fine. But he can move the ball.

704
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: But their whole offense was vertical based with him. Started

705
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: two games this year. Those two games there two of

706
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: their three highest yardage games. They've gone over four hundred yards.

707
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: But he makes he makes those killer mistakes, and that's

708
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: why you can't I wouldn't blame them for playing playing

709
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: Cody Kesler. The one thing I thought about the Browns.

710
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: I know there's not a lot of talent on defense,

711
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: and and Ray Horton has got it done it bad.

712
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: You know, he's been given a tough spot. Here are

713
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: though his it's worth pointing out his finishes in points

714
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: allowed for the teams that he's coached over the last

715
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: five years, the last four years, three and then now

716
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 1: so he it's been a long time since Ray Harton

717
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: coached the team that wasn't one of the worst defenses

718
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: in the league. It's not particularly easy, probably when they

719
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: were putting the staff together to get a lot of

720
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: people to sign up to be the defensive and very

721
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: similar talent. They get better though, well he leaves Tennessee

722
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: because Dick Lebow is there. That's not an easy place

723
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: to be a defensive coordinator with the greatest defensive mind

724
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 1: hanging over your shoulder every week. But but you're right,

725
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: they they've there's been development on offense. There's been a

726
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: sum with certain players on defense. But you look at Dallas,

727
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: they're developing players there. The team that's drafting offensive lineman

728
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: and turning it in the best offensive line in the league.

729
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: They everyone counted their defense out and they've been credibly

730
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: Their effort in the way they've worked week to week

731
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: has been very impressive in Dallas. You know, over the

732
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: past five years or so, it's always fun to put

733
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones near the bottom of any GM list, not

734
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: now very um, but it's if you look at their

735
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: roster now you're just frankly not the right way to

736
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: look at it. Uh. Let's move on, guys. In a

737
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: f C North the Battle whoa doctor of the Pittsburgh Steelers,

738
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: who one will assume will have Ben Roethlisberger behind center,

739
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens. The Ravens one

740
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: of the weirder seven games starts, uh that you'll have.

741
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: Uh started with three straight wins, including some kind of

742
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: um exciting endings for the victories, a lot of good,

743
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: good spirit. And now I've lost four in a row.

744
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: So they are desperate for a win. They really need this.

745
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: And now they get a Steelers team mark that. Yeah,

746
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: we'll probably see big Ben. Will he be big Ben?

747
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: Will he be able to finish the game if he

748
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: plays some unknowns with this game for Pittsburgh. Yeah, I

749
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: mean there were people that thought Big Ben would be

750
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: out for a while, and if he's back in, it

751
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: speaks to you know, how much they need him to

752
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: become what they are. I mean, a hundred people being

753
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: Ben sources that set up a long timeline and then

754
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: he beats it. Well, I have not dealt with that

755
00:37:55,239 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: type of injuries, So that's not even that that's parsing

756
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: steel That's how we got to call him from the

757
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: Steelers organization. That's how. That's how maximum drama for every

758
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger injury because it was two to three weeks

759
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: when when Ian Rappaport was reporting it, and then it

760
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: was five to six weeks when when other sources when

761
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger was reporting right, sounds back to two and three.

762
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: It's similar to the way Connor or it was getting

763
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: behind the Panthers because he wanted to be ahead of

764
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: all the narratives about the media doubted us keep pounding.

765
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. Hen you know, Ben's trying, He's

766
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: playing this, he's pulling the strings. Tarrell Sugs put it well,

767
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: West he said, you know he's not fooling anybody with

768
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: this stuff. We know we're gonna see him on son.

769
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: Terrell Sucks has seen this for twelve years. Probably, Yeah,

770
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean this is Ben's move. He does it all

771
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: the time. Well, Ben has missed seven games against the Ravens.

772
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: He can milk an injury with the best of him,

773
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: and then he can come back and put on a

774
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: show with the bill, and he's going to because when

775
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: was the last time we saw Leve Bell, Antonio Brown,

776
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger all healthy and humming together. There was only

777
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: about one game there where you got to see it.

778
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: Leve Bell is averaging more than a hundred in fifty

779
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage each and every week. That's outrageous. That's

780
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: a yard type of pace. Even with Larrd Landry Jones,

781
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: he gets a hundred and fifty yards. It's fantastic. And

782
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: Jagi's first two hundred yard game, he wasn't even the

783
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: best running back on the field because Levi on Bell's

784
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: cuts were insane. In that game, he was healthy, smooth,

785
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and also Antonio Brown outside of you played

786
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: well with Landry Jones in there against the Patriots. I

787
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 1: think that was the first time he's crossed the hundred

788
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: yard barrier without Big Ben on the field. I mean,

789
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: you said it, you need you need your quarterback in there. Right.

790
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: There's all this stuff about he's not I don't know

791
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: if he's not a tough guy. Is that we're saying.

792
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: But I mean, Big Ben is unbelievable. Just you know,

793
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: you know it. That's the that's the hook. Care I

794
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: hear we haven't tucked Ravens, which this was a team

795
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: when we started talking about the season, there was like

796
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: they were the big mystery team. They could go either way.

797
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: We can't figure them out. And now here it is

798
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: week nine and I I still feel like we can't

799
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: figure them out. They haven't had any continuity. They change

800
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators and it doesn't really help. They've got a

801
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: lot coin for them coming out of the bye though,

802
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: with the offensive line finally healthy. They had their two

803
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: best offensive lineman hadn't played in a couple of weeks.

804
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: And I don't know what's going on with the running game.

805
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: Watching that game before the bye, they only ran the

806
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: ball to set up play action, which is not a

807
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: way to run a Raven's offense. Flack Flacco had a meltdown. Well.

808
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: Flacco is on pace to throw the second most past

809
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: attempts of any quarterback in NFL history over the course

810
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: of his season. And from everything we know about Joe Flacco,

811
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: he's streaky, he can get good, he can be effective,

812
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: but that's not the game plan with with with Joe

813
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: Flacco speaks to your point, I mean when the idea

814
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: was they were going to be a balanced offense. Right now,

815
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: we don't know what kind of team they are. What

816
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: they're mysterious to us because that's what seven and nine

817
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: or nine and seven or eight and eight teams look

818
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: like week to Every single one of their games is

819
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: a one score game this year, So they that they

820
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: are the middle middle team. I could see this being

821
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: in the thirties. You didn't like it when it was

822
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: ten to six. I could see both of the I

823
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: don't think the Steelers defense very good. They're the worst

824
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 1: pass rushing team in the NFL. Steal us have the Jets, Dolphins,

825
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: and Saints up. It's not too bad. Jets already played

826
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I have that information, absolutely incorrect. Looked at

827
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: the wrong team, all right. Moving on the San Francisco

828
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: forty Niners steak. We all know it. But who's worse

829
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: on the road than the Saints. Well maybe forty, but

830
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: that's a different discussion. The Saints travel to big bottom.

831
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: You do that, so well, that's that's a thing. Uh

832
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: three and four Saints team that has won three or

833
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: four games after an oh and three start, and Greg

834
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: I would say the Saints to me. Of all the

835
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: teams that we've forked, and I think we've forked around

836
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: five teams at this point, maybe six, they're the one

837
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: that poses the greatest threat just because Drew Brees Absolutely

838
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: I think they have a chance to make the playoffs.

839
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: I think they probably fall short. Nine and seven type

840
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: of team. But you said they played poorly on the road.

841
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: That's that's mostly true. But I think they stumbled into

842
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: something in Kansas City when they really outplayed the Chiefs

843
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: and they changed their offense to this boring, ball control

844
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: we're just gonna hold the ball forever and keep our

845
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: lousy defense off the field type of game. And I

846
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: thought they played it well. Again, what took so long

847
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: to figure out this attack? Well, you got explosive, you

848
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: got explosive, you got explosive players. You want to use it.

849
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: You you're an offensive team, you want to go down

850
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: the field. They limited the Seahawks to thirteen offensive points,

851
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: only nine possessions. And they get Sheldon Rankin's back this week,

852
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: and they might get Delvin Brow back this week. That's

853
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: two defensive players. You got somethings looking up. If you're

854
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a ball control offense, I would like to

855
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: have seen the mark Ingram from the last couple of seasons.

856
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: They don't have that right now. When he fumbled last week,

857
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: and then they Sean Payton just ran with with Tim

858
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: Hi Tower, who did a good job, but what is

859
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: there for them? Then ball controls five yard throws to

860
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: Willie Snead and Michael Tom the Niners of a lot

861
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: of one yard rusher in six con second weeks, which

862
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: is kind of hard to do. So I don't know

863
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: who's gonna be getting the ball, but you would think

864
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: the Saints will be able to move it on the ground,

865
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: whether it's high Tower or Ingram. Well on the flip side,

866
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: the Saints have been ghastly against the run on defense,

867
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: and it sounds like Carlos Hide might not play in

868
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: this game. You know who looked good? Sounds like he's back.

869
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: I think you know it looked good before the bye.

870
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: Dawan Harris, who was a Green Bay Packers practice squad

871
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: cast off who ruptured his knee a couple of years ago,

872
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: ran like a man possessed before the bye. I think

873
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: he'll probably get the bulk of the workload because Chip

874
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: Kelly came out and said he deserves more more touches.

875
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: It's a game Saints should win to your point to

876
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: four and four. Their schedule in the second half is

877
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: not too bad. They're they're getting close to the Patriots.

878
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: For you, Greg, your favorite team? Oh. Greg loves to

879
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: see the way Chargers, I would say are number two

880
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: right now. Carlos hide as a sprain day ced joint.

881
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: That's that's often not a one week injury. We don't

882
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees gonna be back in this girl. You

883
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: meet a girl and you're telling your friends and you're

884
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: so excited about the relationship. You're still after all these years,

885
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: still kind of in that honeymoon phase. Whenever you talk

886
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: you no, I was, it's unrequited. Greg loves the Saints

887
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: more than the Saints love Greg. They never put a

888
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: defense worth watching out there. That's fair? Or how about

889
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: this look at it, thirty seven year old man. When

890
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,919
Speaker 1: you think about the Saints, you think about being young,

891
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: and you think about being a two lane I couldn't

892
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: have attached single and going to the bars and hanging

893
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: out with your boy Jesal Nick and just feeling alive

894
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: for the first time in your life. That's a good theory.

895
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: I didn't care about the Saints last few years. This

896
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: team is a lot more fun on offense. To market,

897
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is the key at market. What age did

898
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: you feel the most alive right now, right this moment.

899
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I think in your mid twenties

900
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: there is a nice mix of I'm not I don't

901
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: need to accomplish some thing necessarily. Today I can fend

902
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: off the expect and I can go absolutely wild, going

903
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: like perfect, I'm going to clip this off and send

904
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: it to your wives. When my first child was born,

905
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: that's well except that Dan nobody. I mean, I think

906
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: that probably was a high watermark in your life. The

907
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: idea that's when you felt most free. I'd be concerned

908
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: about your parenting because that's when you should say, you

909
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: know what, now I'm going to embrace Well, I don't.

910
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: I think that there is a part of you that

911
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: feels alive when at the birth of your child. But

912
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: in the context of the question that you asked, you

913
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: are absolutely lying to us, and no one buys it.

914
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 1: All right, if that's if what I'm saying is not true,

915
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: you being a baseball fan, couldn't that's way like, oh,

916
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm way over the baseball fan thing that was at

917
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: the beginning of the show. I'm already listen, We've got

918
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: six or seven months till baseball again. It's fantast love

919
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: my kids, Yeah, I love my kids. Look, I got

920
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: another one one on the way. It just sounds so genuine. Uh.

921
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: And I love my wife too, And that's that's where

922
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: I draw my happiness from. Clip it Off said, all right,

923
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: out of the show, Um, let's move on and talk

924
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: about the Carolina Panthers in Los Angeles. Rams. Uh, this

925
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: game is being played at the Coliseum. The Rams haven't

926
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: been there in a while. In fact that I think

927
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: they've only played two games so far this season at home.

928
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: This will be the third one. And the Panthers, you know,

929
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: if they're gonna get going, it's gonna be right now

930
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: two and five. You can't have a big win last

931
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: week at Arizona and then crap the bed again. You

932
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: gott I mean, you gotta, you gotta step up West.

933
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: Do you think the Panthers are about we'll take flight?

934
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: That would be a mixing of metaphors. But start galloping

935
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: really fast, like through jungle and Panthers gallop, you know

936
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: they Basically they'd be running and they jump on top

937
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: of that Ram and they'd rip them to you know

938
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: what Panthers do then oh yeah, pound? Are they ready

939
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 1: to pounce? Uh? Consistently? I like this matchup, And even

940
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: with the Rams, I like this matchup. Panthers. I don't

941
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: know if if people know this have the best run

942
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. They average only three point three

943
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: yards per carry allowed, completely shut down the league's best

944
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 1: running back last week, David Johnson. And now they get

945
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: the running back with the lowest yards per carry in

946
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: the NFL and Todd Gurley. I don't know how the

947
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: Rams are gonna move the ball. Is case Keenum good

948
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: enough to pick on this Panther since Keenum has seven

949
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: interceptions over his last three games. The question for me,

950
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: we are hearing more and more about Jared Goff and

951
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: we're in they're acting, they're acting like we should be

952
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: excited about this news. This would have been exciting in July,

953
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: but we've moved on. Well, no, but he's getting more

954
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: and more first team reps. It's like, hey, guys, we're

955
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: really making progress with the number one pick in the draft.

956
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: I have to wonder if this thing goes south early.

957
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: Are we finally going to see Jared Goff on the field?

958
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: I think they're waiting until they feel like they're a

959
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: little lot of contention. Two games under five hundred might

960
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: be that that moment, So that would mean this is

961
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: his last chance. I wouldn't be surprised so that So

962
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: the translation is they don't view Golf, the number one

963
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, as a quarterback that could possibly

964
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: keep them in contention. Well, you would think they would

965
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: not read Yeah, you would think they would play him

966
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: if that was the case. I don't like this matchup

967
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: be there for the Rams because I think this Panther

968
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm willing to believe this Panther's team is different. You know,

969
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: they came back from the bye. You said, can they

970
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: take advantage of that secondary? Maybe that defense is gonna

971
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: play to their talent level the rest of the way.

972
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: I know the secondary is not great overall, but it

973
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: should be a good defense. They played like it last

974
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: week and they got Jonathan Stewart got Having the time

975
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 1: off for him really helped. He looks He looked like

976
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: a totally new runner, making people miss running people over

977
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: a lot of juice and if you can run the

978
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: ball on the rams. You're gonna win. And that's that's why.

979
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: What's happening? What's coming over me? Right now? Where's the

980
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: lock's up? Really trying to sell it locking it up? Huh?

981
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 1: I got locked up just like I did in Orleans

982
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 1: Paris prison one night in two thousand, Brad got arrested

983
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: when you truly felt in that jail cells that when

984
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: you truly felt the most alive. No, I mean I

985
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: was worried about staying on What was the charge? Um

986
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: and be honest with us. Prostitution, disturbing the peace, was

987
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: disturbing the piece, like you just disturbed the piece a

988
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: second ago with this lock it up war cry that

989
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: came out of your mouth. What were you doing to this?

990
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to tell us, Uh, well I've

991
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: told you before. Well that doesn't This is a this

992
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: is a forum. I was on the outskirts of a

993
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: big altercation which I rolling up the sleeves and throwing

994
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: hay make Honestly, wasn't you know involved in and uh

995
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: you know they locked us up. They had to lock

996
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: it up. Anybody, anybody takes exception with me and gentle neck,

997
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: we're coming after y'all. Did you throw a punch? Did

998
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: you land where? It wasn't punch landed on? The problem

999
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: was I was carrying a guy who had been knocked

1000
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: out during this altercation, not caring, but we're walking. Put

1001
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: him over, We're walking. He was like hemingway on the battlefield.

1002
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: He's like a hundred. No, he's not a big guy.

1003
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 1: We're walking. His hands over my shoulder. Suddenly I hear

1004
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: behind me that where do you think you're going? And

1005
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: it's like we hadn't got everyone else left, so you

1006
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: were being a good samaritan and you got arrested for it.

1007
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: I was a friend, not so much. I like how

1008
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: Greg is painted this. He was in the middle of

1009
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,479
Speaker 1: a massive bare knuckle brawl. He saw a man down,

1010
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: he threw him over his shoulder, like forrest gun. Yeah,

1011
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: I said I didn't. I wasn't involved at all. I'm

1012
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 1: glad Mark delved into that one. I like the Panthers

1013
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: again as well, and I think they're gonna go on

1014
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: a run here is anybody else? Uh? Has anybody picking

1015
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: the rams here? No? Okay, I can't do it. Battle

1016
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: of the eighty five Bears Mark Ron Rivera versus Jeff Fisher. Yeah,

1017
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: that's true. Cam Newton's had two awesome games in a row.

1018
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: To might be, Oh, you're a little overboard, going to

1019
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: run your way overboard on that. I mean, there's only

1020
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks getting hit. More to say, like an m

1021
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: v P and I watched the game and I'm like,

1022
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 1: where's this MVP he played? He made four or five

1023
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: throws from the pocket under pressure on third and long

1024
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: to keep the ball moving. He ran the ball. He

1025
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: did the exact same thing he did last Massive hyperbole

1026
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: from the boss and the over under on Tiki Tack.

1027
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: Personal fouls in his favor is being set at one

1028
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: and a half after his meeting with the commissioner, the

1029
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: NFL want to send a message we protect our stars.

1030
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: Flags are coming out for you know, if a little

1031
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: whip breeze goes by his left ear hole, the laundry

1032
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: is coming out. I hear you. I think he had

1033
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: a point last week, but I hear you, little bit

1034
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: of some makeup calls are coming. Basically, let's move on.

1035
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis called stink their three and five. Uh. Nobody

1036
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: likes them, nobody like watching them. Uh. And now they

1037
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: travel to Green Bay to face the Packers, and uh,

1038
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: you know what, Mark, I know you're not the biggest

1039
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: Packers fan, but you're starting to see some things you

1040
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: like about this team, don't you, aren't you. I think

1041
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: there's something to like in the fact that Aaron Rodgers

1042
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: has put together two of the better games he's had

1043
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Frankly, and it's I

1044
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's a total miarage. They're getting different guys involved.

1045
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: You know. I tweeted this and someone who's like acting

1046
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: like these guys aren't all stars. But I like seeing

1047
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: the fact that young players like Trevor Davis, Geronimo Allen

1048
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: are in the game. Excuse me, Ronald Allison. Yeah, it's

1049
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 1: like you're getting some of these younger guys in there.

1050
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: It's not the same cast of characters. Jordy Nelson, I

1051
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: thought played one of his better games last week. He

1052
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: looked like a different player. And their backfield situation is

1053
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: is very strange. But there's reason to believe that Green

1054
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: Bay can make something of the second half of the season.

1055
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: And it couldn't come against the better band or defense

1056
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: to have it happened against in Indianapolis, right, He didn't

1057
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: even mention the Packers best receiver, Davante Adams, who has

1058
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: a chance to go twelve receptions back to back to back,

1059
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: which I believe may have never been done in history. Yeah,

1060
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't that's I don't think he. They have better

1061
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 1: players and the guys I mentioned, But those guys, it's

1062
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 1: like it's not the same two or three people doing

1063
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: the same two or three things every game. There's a

1064
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: little bit more of a diversity to this offer. I mean,

1065
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: they had to start figuring out some other options. While

1066
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson. Maybe now Jordy Nelson's getting back now to

1067
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 1: where he was, but he wasn't. Randall Cobb doesn't seem

1068
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: to be like the same guy who was a couple

1069
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: of years ago. So finally, and and Devonte him stepping up,

1070
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: that's huge for the Colts at this point. Our team

1071
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: that I just can't imagine winning against the above average

1072
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 1: team on the road period, Like do we think every

1073
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: any given Sunday. But that's true for except for about

1074
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: four or five teams on the road. And I feel

1075
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: like the Colts are now that team. I would be

1076
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: stunned if they win this game. And the Packers aren't

1077
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: a great team. It's I just can't imagine the Colts

1078
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 1: at this point beating a good team in his career.

1079
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they beat the Titan. Philip there Set,

1080
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: make a play in your career. You're being outplayed by

1081
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle and undrafted three age and you're a first

1082
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: round pick. When the Colts could have gotten a Blue

1083
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: Goose pass rusher or a Hog Molly on their offensive line,

1084
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: they draft Philip door Set. He drops balls, he drops punts,

1085
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't make plays. That's why luck of the week woo. Yeah,

1086
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: he just locked it up. Is that Dante Moncrief has

1087
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: a career game against the Packers, Donte Moncrief career game

1088
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton has a hamstring injury. Philip doors Set,

1089
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what his problem is, but he just

1090
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: doesn't make This is a really long way of getting

1091
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: to uh you what you just WestEd Phil door Set

1092
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: in a big spot and uh by association Ryan Grigson,

1093
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: who picked him, I think he WestEd the lock of

1094
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: the week segment by now making it an individual accomplishment.

1095
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: What do you mean now, I've been doing that all

1096
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: ye you can lock up whatever you want. I didn't

1097
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: know that I'm not locked up anything because it may

1098
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with football when I get there.

1099
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: And as much as this offensive line gets grief for

1100
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: getting Andrew Luck killed, that's not all they're bad at.

1101
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,439
Speaker 1: They lead the league since the beginning of last year,

1102
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: and most big plays called back because their offensive line

1103
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: continues to make penalties over and over. There was a

1104
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: huge touchdown to Dante Moncreef last week that got called

1105
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: back because Denzel Good is grabbing somebody by the ankle. Well,

1106
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: they also have no pass rush. They're counting on Robert

1107
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: Mathis at thirty five years old off of a serious

1108
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 1: injury to be their best pass usher. That matchup against

1109
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: the Packers offensive line is a joke. I mean, Aaron

1110
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers is going to do whatever he wants, is sitting

1111
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 1: back there for five seconds every place, and only two

1112
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: teams in the league right now allowing a higher passer

1113
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: rating to opposing quarterbacks in the Colts A famous also

1114
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: questionable with a concussion, which would be harmful. Add that

1115
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: to it. Every time we talked about the Cults, you

1116
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: know what, we could just in week one record our

1117
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Cults and then just replay it week

1118
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: to week, because it is it feels like we're just

1119
00:55:55,160 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: rehashing the same issue with this team. Some character named

1120
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: Matthias Farley played four snaps for the Colts last week

1121
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: at safety, and on one of those snaps, Alex Smith

1122
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 1: stared down Jeremy Macklin for the whole route and still

1123
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: completed an easy touchdown over this character named Matthias Farley.

1124
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: You just got WestEd, Matthias West did. Uh. Let's move on,

1125
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: gentlemen and talk about the Tennessee Titans and San Diego Chargers.

1126
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee traveling to San Diego, the Titans hanging around four

1127
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: and four. Marcus Mariota's making some plays now the last

1128
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: few weeks, which has done a lot, has done wonders

1129
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: for their for their offense obviously, but now he's got

1130
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: a tough spot. The Chargers, who everyone's a fan of

1131
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: this team. Uh, despite their three and five record. Uh.

1132
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: They put up a fight up against anyone, and Greg

1133
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa is gonna get his chance to go after

1134
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. And that's a fun little battle. It is,

1135
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: and it's strength on strength in terms of the guys

1136
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: up front. But the Chargers injury woes are getting to

1137
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: a point where you think maybe it's just not gonna happen.

1138
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: They lost Denzel Pairman and Tavis Brown most likely for

1139
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,720
Speaker 1: this game at linebacker. Going up against the best rushing attack,

1140
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL, that's

1141
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: a disaster. I mean that. I think the matchup this

1142
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: week with the Titans, especially with the guys that are

1143
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: hurt at linebacker for San Diego, is trouble. I kind

1144
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: of like the Titans in this I get I get

1145
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: the Titans credit because they went in as much as

1146
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: any team in the league with a very specific, verbalized

1147
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: idea of what they wanted to be and it was

1148
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: not perfect out of the gate. But at this point,

1149
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: you've got seven straight one yard rushing games, They've scored

1150
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: twenty six plus points in four straight games. And that

1151
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: Thursday night game, why was it boring? Because they absolutely

1152
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: pulverized the Jaguars, They absolutely dominated Jackson well exactly, but

1153
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: it's it wasn't competitive because you expect, oh, well, these

1154
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: two teams are in the in the aisles. We were

1155
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: here on Thursday nights. Have I missed that he took

1156
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: off his clothes in a very similar thing to what

1157
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: happened at the super Bowl or that's going to happen,

1158
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: ran up and down the aisles and just was like,

1159
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: I was right about Marcus Mariota. None of this happened.

1160
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: That's a that would be a heavy HR violations. I

1161
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: think it would be, and it's a little disturbing. This

1162
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: is where Greg's mind went. Dan's mind went there first,

1163
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: No Greg's went there first, and no one else went

1164
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: there Greg Dan went with me naked punching Tom Brady. Okay,

1165
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: why do I have Why can't I be closed? That's

1166
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: a different type of news. I don't know why it's happening.

1167
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: It just keeps on happening in the show. By the way,

1168
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: my fantasy move to Tony Romo and use all of

1169
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: my free agent budget and drop Marcus Mariota exactly four

1170
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: weeks continues to pay off in speed, best red zone

1171
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. This is a lot of regular

1172
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Griggson over here. That was I got gregged out

1173
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: on that one. They well below five. Chargers are the

1174
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: best team the Titans have played in five weeks. Though, yeah,

1175
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: I know, I don't feel confident in either team. Like

1176
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: the belly laugh there either. Greg you know, taking joy

1177
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: in one of my biggest fantasy failures in personnelity. I

1178
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: didn't know what I didn't know what the story was,

1179
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: and then you as you were unfolding it, I'm thinking, wow, Wow,

1180
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: this is the worst possible thing that could have happened.

1181
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 1: It's pretty bad. It's so bad that I'm not even

1182
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: upset about it anymore. It's just kind of a funny things.

1183
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: It's like the moment that Mariotta went on fire. It's

1184
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: like there's always two thousand seventeen exactly. You just had

1185
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: some a certain point, just turned the page. It's okay. Uh.

1186
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin and Tyrone Williams are also sidelined Wednesday and Thursday.

1187
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: And the biggest problematic, it's the biggest Chargers backer in

1188
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: the national media feels bad about the Chargers chances this

1189
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: week next Yeah, well we'll see how it plays out

1190
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: next Tuesday. By the way, America goes to the polls

1191
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: to figure out. Yeah, they as our last preview show

1192
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: before you know, the takes whatever, and it's all done.

1193
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: No more fun that playing defense against the Gestapo. We're

1194
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: all working towards the right vote on that one. But um,

1195
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: there is another vote November eight. Well, there's a lot

1196
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: of it's the general election, a lot of stuff that's

1197
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: right on. But San Diego residents will have their opportunity

1198
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: to vote yes n see, which would fund a stadium

1199
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: that would allow them to stay in San Diego. I

1200
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: really hope they stay there. That would suck if they left,

1201
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: because there's a nice fan base there. A lot of

1202
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: populaces don't have the chance to say yes or no

1203
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: on this kind of thing. Sometimes teams just get pulled

1204
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: out and away from you. If they don't get this done,

1205
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel good because it's not gonna happen. By

1206
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: all accounts. They gotta get a two thirds vote, and

1207
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: eight new Slash voters have woken up. We're not paying

1208
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: for stadiums, and I get it. And then we also,

1209
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: oh yeah, but the Chargers, their mom and pop organization, Well,

1210
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: you know what, let's get some ownership and they'll pony

1211
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: up money to build a stadium. Do we really need

1212
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: two teams in Los Angeles? I can confirm that we

1213
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: do not, And I love, I love the ownership in

1214
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: San Diego. Let me just stay Greg wonderful who I mean,

1215
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all for the little guy. But you know

1216
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: you're pointing out you're pointing out some fiscal tension there.

1217
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 1: That's that's fair. Let's move on. A team named after

1218
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: credit cards, let's move Is that true? Yes? Really, credit

1219
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: cards are credit card users. Baron Hilton was the original

1220
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: owner of the San Diego Chargers a credit card. Man.

1221
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: I thought that was a classic West pun for a second,

1222
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 1: but then I sniffed it out and I said, is

1223
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: also a student of history. Maybe this is going somewhere

1224
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: and it's paid off. Well, you read me so well, man,

1225
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Let's move on Sunday night football. Oh we got a

1226
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: good one here. The Denver Broncos six and two they

1227
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: head to Oakland against the six and two Raiders. How

1228
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: about that? Um, a f C West supremacy on the

1229
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: line for al Chris and the war world? And uh,

1230
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: here we go, Chris Westling. Um, I know just by

1231
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: your general comments that you haven't been completely sold on

1232
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders here? Uh, does that mean that you believe

1233
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos are gonna be seven and two by the

1234
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: time they wake up Monday morning? I would put it

1235
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: this way. You know, you would think that Greg would

1236
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: call this a fork in the road game. First place

1237
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: on the line, one team goes by itself in first place,

1238
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: the other team might fall behind the Chiefs big time

1239
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 1: fork in the road game. You would think that's what

1240
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: it is, but it's not. You're locking it up. No,

1241
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: it's a it's a prove it game. I don't really

1242
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: think it's a fork in the road game, but a

1243
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: pervoc game for the Raiders. Are you legitimate? Can you

1244
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: beat the Super Bowl champions? And the Bullies? The end

1245
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: boss of the a f C West like it since

1246
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: John Elway has been in the chair. The Broncos defense.

1247
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 1: This is if we say that the Browns defense against

1248
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys Russian attack is the most lopsided matchup. The

1249
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: best matchup of the week is a Raiders offensive line

1250
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: that allows the fewest sacks and the fewest quarterback hits

1251
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: against the Broncos pass rush that leads the league in

1252
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: sacks and quarterback hits and in fact has nine team

1253
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: more quarterback hits than any other team and more quarterback

1254
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,959
Speaker 1: road more quarterback hits at mid season than any team

1255
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: since two thousand. Wow, they're pretty good, dog. I give

1256
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: the edge to the Broncos in this matchup. For that one,

1257
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: there is one issue. It sounds like a key to

1258
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Leave is flying to California. James Palmer from NFL Network

1259
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: reported this to get his back looked at. And and

1260
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: they're saying now that he may not play that that

1261
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: is that's an issue. You still got a lot of talent,

1262
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: but that's you. You're missing so much and it's an issue.

1263
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 1: And yet this Broncos defense is so good that to

1264
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Leave wasn't there last week and you wouldn't have known it.

1265
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they they gave Philip Rivers more more trouble

1266
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: than he's had all year. And you mentioned that they

1267
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: just plug up Bradley Roby a first round picking to start,

1268
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: and they generate turnovers and they score points on defense too,

1269
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 1: and they need to keep doing They weren't facing Derek

1270
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: car last week and ascended superstar who could not be

1271
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: playing with more confidence right now. He just threw for

1272
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: five yards and four touchdowns without it interception, which has

1273
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: rarely happened in the history of the league. I wonder, uh,

1274
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 1: if as good as the Broncos are with the confidence

1275
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: playing in their building in prime time, that the Raiders

1276
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: are gonna put some points on the board in this game.

1277
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Would it be crazy. It's fair to ask. I mean,

1278
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper Michael Crabtree, is this the best duo in

1279
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: the league right now? Statistically? It is? What a what

1280
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: a great matchup? I mean, it's it's a treat when

1281
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: those when the Broncos defense is going up against the

1282
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Raiders offense. I wouldn't be surprised though, if the Broncos

1283
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: win this game on the road. I mean, I don't

1284
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: think the Raiders are are a great team right now.

1285
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I think Derek Carr is playing really well. They're not

1286
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: They're not a great team. I don't think they I

1287
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: don't think they would call themselves a great team. I

1288
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: think that they they're very much reflection of their coach

1289
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: right now. And you know, for all these teams that

1290
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: don't want to take bold moves at the end of games,

1291
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders are here because of that personality, which is

1292
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: admirable and enjoyable to watch. But they do have a

1293
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of talented young players, and I think that they're

1294
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: this isn't a fluke record, but they have they have flaws.

1295
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: I love that they're in primetime three of the next

1296
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: five weeks because I think they're a fun team. I

1297
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,439
Speaker 1: feel like they haven't been a lot. No, they haven't.

1298
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: They haven't had meaningful primetime games later this season, and

1299
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: they were a junk operation before about last season. I

1300
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if they run it pretty well. You

1301
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: would think they're running game is somewhat of a weakness.

1302
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: And yet they're six in the league and yards per

1303
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: carry between DeAndre Washington and Richard and Murray, they could

1304
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: run it on the Bronco. Let's pick this game with

1305
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: the score mark Wow, Broncos one overtime Broncos. That would

1306
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: be three straight overtime games. Why not? This is what

1307
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders are Bronco and regulation. Broncos Regulation feeling a

1308
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: lot of pressure. Broncos twenty one in overtime, a walk

1309
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 1: off safety. Along this note, real quick, Sidney pointed out

1310
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: before the show's Site Unseen West and I to send

1311
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: our picks for every game for our NFL Network vehicle

1312
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: that we're on and Site Unseen West and I picked

1313
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: every single game the same way. The kissing Cousins, ladies

1314
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: and gentlemen run the same way. Raiders fans are not

1315
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: gonna be happy that we just went four across on

1316
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos. When they have an offense that hasn't had

1317
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty yards I think since Week three,

1318
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Like they have no running game in Simeon's they haven't

1319
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot of three D yard passer and along. I

1320
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: love the Raiders, you know, I I backed them for

1321
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 1: Team of a TL, but ultimately, you know it's gonna

1322
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: be a tough game. I think the Broncos come out

1323
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: on on top. We'll see how it plays out. Finally,

1324
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, Oh yes, Monday Night Football. The Buffalo Bills,

1325
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: who you know, they've come down to earth a little bit.

1326
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: It's been a roller coaster season for wreck, who was

1327
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: kind of in the tank at owned two than one

1328
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 1: fourth straight, but now I've lost two in a row.

1329
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: Weren't very competitive against the Patriots, which maybe wasn't a

1330
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: very good sign, especially in their own building, and now

1331
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: they got to travel to Seattle. I mean, does it?

1332
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: Does it just be where the Bills playing like monster

1333
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: teams every week this season? It has not been an

1334
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: easy schedule for them, but they got to figure out

1335
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: a way to get it done. And Greg, I guess

1336
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: it comes down to me, what who are the Seahawks

1337
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: at this stage? Especially on offense. They're working some things out.

1338
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: I thought they would be a lot better throwing the

1339
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: football than they are. I mean, it's amazing that Richardson

1340
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: and lock It, who I thought would be a big

1341
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: part of their offense, I think, have combined for about

1342
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: three hundred yards between them. Lock It is essentially a

1343
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: fourth receiver for them. This is a tough matchup too.

1344
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills aren't a great defense. They're not

1345
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: a shutdown defense. But at this point, if you're a Saint,

1346
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: if you're a Seahawks offense, it scores thirteen points in

1347
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: the super Dome, it's like you can't count on scoring

1348
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: against anyone. Yeah. I think that their philosophy has been

1349
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Tom Cable can overcome our lack of

1350
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: investment in the offensive line. And what they weren't planning

1351
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: on was they have an injured Russell Wilson playing all

1352
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: year and he's not the same quarterback when he can't

1353
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: move because his best asset is his elusiveness. That's completely

1354
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 1: taken off the board when he plays now. Yeah, I mean,

1355
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: nineteen quarterbacks in the league have more ground yardage than

1356
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: Wilson right now, and it's absolutely translated game to game

1357
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 1: his escapability in past seasons. You know, they say he

1358
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: doesn't have a touchdown in in three straight games. A

1359
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with where drives are

1360
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: ending and where they're finishing with Russell Wilson, because he

1361
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: used to create these opportunities and get into the red

1362
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: zone with his incredible, you know ability on his feet,

1363
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,799
Speaker 1: and they don't have that this season. It's they're limited,

1364
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: but I certainly do not give up on this offense

1365
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: yet because we've seen them redefined themselves. This to me

1366
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: is the most interesting, one of the most interesting and

1367
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 1: games of the entire week because Buffalo has won me

1368
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: back over in terms of being a team that, yeah,

1369
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: throw any of these any no matter what their schedule is,

1370
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: they seem to come in every week they come into play.

1371
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy is healthy. It sounds like this week the

1372
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: way they managed that was obviously a disaster. But if

1373
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: McCoy can be what he was a couple of weeks ago,

1374
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: then this game is absolutely competitive. You would think it's

1375
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 1: a defense first type of game. I mean, I can't

1376
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: see either one of these teams. Tyrod Taylor in their

1377
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: passing game is very limited I mean that's not so

1378
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: to try to go against Seattle. Even without Michael Bennett,

1379
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: who they who they missed, and Camp Chancellor who they

1380
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 1: definitely miss they still got players Stephan Bobby Wagner is

1381
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: playing as well as he ever has. Earl Thomas looks

1382
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: like two. Cliff Aver is on fire. Cliff Favor of

1383
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: the last two weeks is you know, the best defensive

1384
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: player in the league. Building a whole neighborhoods in Haiti

1385
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 1: or the line should have resigned Cliff Avor. It's in

1386
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: a while about wrote about six articles about that kJ

1387
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 1: Right is always the forgotten man, and he has made

1388
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: a couple of plays where he stopped to tackle just

1389
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: sort of first down where they might be two and

1390
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: four if not for some kJ Right plays. I know

1391
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: that we don't like looking back over the years. It's

1392
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 1: certain compiled records, but I do think it's notable that

1393
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: under Pete Carroll against some good competition they are nine

1394
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: and one in primetime games, that that he prepares them

1395
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: well for that, and you can't Rex Ryan has had

1396
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: some real up and down fairs on on on Monday

1397
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: night and Sunday Night football, so that is advantage Seahawks.

1398
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 1: I like to look back over compiled records for you well,

1399
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 1: and when you do it, it's relevant. In some cases

1400
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: we would say don't go there. Um. I just want

1401
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 1: to say that that that is not unanimous, and I

1402
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: thought it was important to let the public know. People

1403
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: like it, some people don't. When the Bills using the

1404
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Royal we there in a big spot, that's all. When

1405
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: the Bills lose this game, I hope they don't make

1406
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: excuses and refused to give credit like they did last

1407
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: week when Ronk kicked them up and down the field

1408
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:03,759
Speaker 1: and they said he was a byproduct of Tom Brady,

1409
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: which is one of the most ridiculous sentiments I've ever

1410
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: heard of football player. Set yeah, own up. I mean,

1411
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 1: this is the same franchise that when Rex Ryan loses

1412
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: the Dion Lewis, he tries to diminish Lewis as a

1413
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: player instead of giving credit. Right, especially cherished son of

1414
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Rob Gronkowski, who had gone home to stick it

1415
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: in the Bill's eyes stick in the year Buffalo. Is

1416
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: he a psychopath? He rabs a little crazy all right.

1417
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: By the way, a reminder, we do have a presence

1418
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 1: on a new NFL network program. It's called NFL Pick Him,

1419
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:48,560
Speaker 1: and you could catch it three times on Saturday in

1420
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: early Sunday morning eight thirty am. These are all Eastern

1421
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: times twelve thirty pm. And then again you get a little,

1422
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: a little tipsy, get a little banged up, and then

1423
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: you come home with the couch or uh in your

1424
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: bed with your lady or your gentlemen, and then you

1425
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 1: watch the one thirty am show. I mean, would this

1426
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 1: be a show that if you watch this, if you

1427
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 1: watched all three episodes, which would be exactly the same,

1428
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: that you would you know, like a good movie, you'd

1429
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 1: see new elements, new things, new plot twists when you're

1430
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: in Yeah, it's like the eternal sunshine of the spotless Mind,

1431
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: but a television show. When you're in bed at one

1432
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning on a Saturday, you definitely want

1433
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 1: some Dave damage check in your life. And thirty Pacific though,

1434
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: that's a nice time spot. And you know I'll be

1435
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: checking it out as I get into bed. And for

1436
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: you people overseas, listen, you got WestEd. You have banged

1437
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: in a big spot here. You know what the I think.

1438
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: If you got NFL game Pass, you can watch NFL

1439
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,720
Speaker 1: network live on it. You can figure out, you know,

1440
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,640
Speaker 1: you'd have to do some or some some math with

1441
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: your time zone or reorganize your entire family plan if

1442
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: you live overseas, move them over somewhere in the States,

1443
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 1: pick up your life at that point, just simply to

1444
01:12:56,680 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: get this show, which may not even exist another for now.

1445
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 1: Get your VCR out of the addict, have somebody hook

1446
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 1: it up for you over in the States, recorded overnight

1447
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: it overseas back to you. Send the VCR tape, Send

1448
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: the tape. Make sure you have a VCR. People still

1449
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 1: have VCRs and that instead of throwing them away. One

1450
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: note down down in Australian those parts of the world,

1451
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: they use a different type of VCR tape actually, so

1452
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: you need to get them every ounterpart to buy all

1453
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 1: the equipment, which seems seamless. I would say, go on

1454
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: the internet for all that stuff. Where also, we might

1455
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: be working on some type of periscope situation as well

1456
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: with the show. Just putting that out nothing settled yet,

1457
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 1: but we're we want to make sure we get all

1458
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 1: scuttle buttons involved. That's a scuttle butt reading the tea leaves.

1459
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: There could be something happen or around the campfire. That's

1460
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: it for Thursday nights edition of the Round the NFL podcast.

1461
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: The next time you hear from us, it will be

1462
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 1: us recapping all the games we just previewed. Because that's

1463
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,799
Speaker 1: how it works. That's how the wheel turns or spins

1464
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:59,600
Speaker 1: round and round. That's how the panther pounces. That's it.

1465
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: This is Dan Jansas signing off for Quiet Storm, the

1466
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 1: biggest s Baseball fan in the building. The watch the game,

1467
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 1: the Boss and La sid behind the glass. Who did that?

1468
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: A T and drop? I didn't like it until Sunday.

1469
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:43,520
Speaker 1: Oh you just got West? Whoa you just got West.
