So I go over to 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: talk to one of the dads, are like, yeah, you know, 13 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: we should have been playing in the twelve of you 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: and this is a ten eleven you bracket we're in. 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my gosh.

But at that point I get 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: home and I'm turned on the games because I've been 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: watching on red Zone.

I was like, Wow, 35 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: nicely done, dude. Um I myself, let's just say it's 36 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: been a good month. It's been a good year for 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: the Macutar family. I will be purchasing a new car today, 38 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: not with just winnings for this weekend, but uh, I 39 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: haven't bought a new car in like seven eight years. Uh, 40 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: and I figured now is as good at time as any, 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: so uh, getting it the card delivered to my house 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: later today, very excited I did for that, Like Rob 43 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: g got a new car a couple of months ago, 44 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: and I gonna lie a little jelly um, little jelly uh, 45 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: just because I you know, I I'd like to drive 46 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: an old car. I've told you guys this story on 47 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: my radio show Millionaire next Door Live Below Your means 48 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: drive used cars, and I thought I'd use that as 49 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: kind of a metaphor to slip into Brady Belichick and 50 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: Tom Brady the old used car a lot of miles 51 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: on him. He didn't look great Sunday night. Can I 52 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: can I just come out and say that Brady did 53 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: not look sharp. He looked like he was missing gronk. 54 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: He looked like Mike Evans was like, I don't totally 55 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: kind of a non factor seven catches, seventy five years. 56 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: It would Antonio Brown show, it felt like. And of 57 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: course Brady instead of moving the chains to get the 58 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: first down and uh, you know, proceed down the field 59 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: and kicked the game winner. He wanted it all you 60 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: guys could tell. Brady wanted the glory. In the fourth quarter, 61 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: two bombs to Antonio Brown. He lost the first one 62 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: in the lights. The second one he kind of It's 63 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: like a diving catch and he couldn't haul it in 64 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: buck Win. I don't know what Belichick was thinking kicking 65 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: a fifty six yard or in the rain on fourth 66 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: and four, Like mac Jones was having a hell of 67 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: a day. Mac Jones was two yards two Tuddies did 68 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: have a pick, but that was in the rain, rookie 69 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: quarterback against a pretty damn good defense. And oh, by 70 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the way, the New England Patriots run game, I hope 71 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: you didn't start Damien Harrison fantasy. I pulled him eight 72 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: carries minus one yard. So basically mac Jones, who I mean, 73 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: I listen. I'm not saying he's better than Brady. That 74 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: would be stupid. I thought last night he played better 75 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: than Brady. That's not a hot take. I don't want 76 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, anybody to try it. But he had a 77 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: he had a very good game, a rookie quarterback in 78 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: a huge stage Sunday night football. Belichick, Brady, and you 79 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: come out and you do that to a Tampa defense. 80 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: And I know the Tampa defense was missing some stars 81 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: on the back end, and they blitzed the hell out 82 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: of him, as expected. They hit him twelve times, they 83 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: sacked him for Um, the young guy try on look 84 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: real good for the Bucks. Just another stud defensive player 85 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: they've got um and overall, like I'm not gonna crap 86 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: on the game. I said on Twitter, like this is 87 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: a boring game in the third quarter, the snooze fest. 88 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: And then my guy Doug Gottlie's like, oh, this is 89 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: a really good football game and not every score, not 90 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: every game has to be offensive, and I'm like, that's 91 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: not the point. Like it was a sloppy game in 92 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: the rain. Third down conversions were poor, penalties were everywhere, 93 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: nobody could deliver in the red zone. It just like 94 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: wasn't good crisp football. And I don't know. I mean, like, 95 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are tuning in because 96 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: everybody wants a Brady Belichick take, and people are gonna 97 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: be tripping over themselves this morning to come up with 98 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: some incendiary take to get people talking. I mean, my 99 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: take is simple. We said it on Friday Spot. This 100 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: wasn't even close to one of the best games of 101 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: the weekend. I mean, if you asked me personally, again, 102 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: I am just one dude who up in the northeast, 103 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: moved out to l A five years ago. I get it. 104 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: I understand Brady Belichick is the number one story. I didn't. 105 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: I thought this was one of the weaker primetime games 106 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: we've seen this season. I mean, folks, Chiefs Ravens, Hello, 107 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: Uh Raiders Ravens. I mean that game was amazing. Hell Bengals, 108 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: Uh Jaguars on Thursday was a really good game. I 109 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: just I know the drama and the subplots were there. 110 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: I just I didn't love the game. I'm sorry. I 111 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: know that's that's not a fun take. Um. I personally 112 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: wanted to open this podcast with my New York Football 113 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: Jets getting the w over the Titans. Uh.

And frankly, Jets winning on 126 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: the money line to me was way better, more fun 127 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: than Patriots box. Uh.

Belichick, yes, 140 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: one in three ha ha ha to Brady has more 141 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: winds in Gillette or Fox Bor or whatever.

I don't know the name of the Patriots stadium. 146 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: I watched a lot of these games on mute um 147 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: because I've got a family, and uh, I'm doing work, 148 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: and yes, I'm putting in prep for week five and 149 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: preparing for this podcast and getting ready for a digital 150 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: gambling show I do with Cowherd every Monday. So I 151 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff going on. So, yes, Brady 152 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: has more wins in Foxboro this year than the Patriots, 153 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: who are now oh and three at home. But the 154 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: Patriots have the Texans next week. They're gonna get They're 155 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. I don't know if they're gonna like 156 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: cover in that game, but they are gonna win that game. 157 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna pour uh kick dirt on the 158 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: grave of Beligic. It's not over and Brady, you know, fine, 159 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: They're fine. They're three and one. Um. I do think 160 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: they do have some competition given the injuries. They have 161 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: some competition in the NFC. Uh, they do have a 162 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: week week week week asked off and team coming in 163 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: and then they got the Eagles and Bears, so they're 164 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna get They're gonna be fine. Um, but 165 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: they need to get healthy, uh for later in the 166 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: season without Gronk. Honestly, this offense did not look that 167 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: dynamic bron Gronk apparently was it robbed four broken ribs? Yes, 168 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: cracked crack. I mean that is incredible, Like that hit 169 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: that he took was pulverizing and he went down. But 170 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: didn't he stay in the game and still catch passes? Yeah? 171 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: But were you surprised by that double? What an animal? 172 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I get a black eye, you know about 173 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: a commission. Guy breaks four ribs and he's still played 174 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: football last weekend. That's bananas. Anyways, Rob fire Away, Tom 175 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: Brady stinks he's old Bill Belichick. No, I'm not gonna 176 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: say anything like that. I mean, I don't think anyone 177 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: should give you any kind of grief for not having 178 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: a super hot take this morning, because you said on 179 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: Friday's pod that you weren't too jazzed about this one, 180 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: and for good reason, I mean, other than the well, 181 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: we I think a lot of people expected it was 182 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: a Tampa Bay Bucks thrashing the Patriots because they're a 183 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: better team. But other than that, it kind of played 184 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: out exactly like how you expected. You know, there's a 185 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: lot of buzz going into it in the hype videos 186 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: and things like that, but it's like Brady and Belichick, 187 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: they don't really hate each other. You know, the Patriot 188 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: fans still cheered him when he got out there, and 189 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: then other than that, it was just football. You know, 190 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: there was nothing really exciting about it. But I did 191 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: come away from last night's game with one I don't 192 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: know if you want to call it a hot take, 193 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: but one big takeaway, and it relates to the fifty 194 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: year field go at the end, which I thought was 195 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: a terrible decision by Bill Belichick. But in that moment, 196 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: it felt to me like his ego got the best 197 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: of him, because all night Bill Belichick's defense made Tom 198 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: Brady uncomfortable. Now, part of it was the scheme, part 199 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: of it was I think Brady was just a little 200 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: bit fired up. I mean, I haven't seen him look 201 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: that out of sorts, that razzled, dazzled, you know, in 202 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: any of the Super Bowls. He's played in, so I 203 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: was kind of surprised that he had that going last night, 204 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: considering it was a week four regular season game. But 205 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's defense forced Tom Brady into the worst statistical 206 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: game he's played in almost a full year, lowest quarterback 207 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: rating since last November, lowest point total since last November. 208 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: They made him very, very uncomfortable, and and Chris Collinsworth 209 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: pointed out on the broadcast, he said, you know, it's 210 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: almost like series to series. They're changing their scheme. You know, 211 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: they're showing him one thing and they know he's gonna 212 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: check out of it, and he's gonna adjust because that's 213 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: what Brady does. So they come out expecting the adjustment 214 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: in the following series. And it looked to me on 215 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: that decision to kick the fifty six yard field goal, 216 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick was thinking, I'm gonna win this with 217 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: my defense, We're gonna get this long field goal. I 218 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: know it's kind of a toss up if he makes it, 219 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: but if he makes it, I'm going to get the 220 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: chance to shut down Tom Brady, the the immortal two 221 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: minute drill king I'm gonna I'm gonna lock this up. 222 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: And it came back to bite him, because anyone with 223 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: half a brain and who was thinking clearly would tell 224 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: you fifty six yards number one is tough. Number two 225 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: you're playing in a monsoon, and number three your kicker 226 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: has an issue with his plant leg. So it felt 227 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: to me again, like Tom, excume me. Like Bill Belichick 228 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: was feeling himself through most of the night. He thought 229 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: he could put the nail in the coffin, and he's like, 230 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: I'm going to be the one that locks this down. 231 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: Let's get this field goal so my defense can put 232 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: it away.

Familiarity 236 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: is massive. I used it in gambling this weekend. I 237 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: did not, you know, obviously, bet On, I didn't. I 238 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: didn't have the balls to take Belichick getting seven and 239 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: seven or six and a half. It was a good 240 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: win if you did take it. But familiarity is massive. 241 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: And I mentioned that Kirk Cousin was going up against 242 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: his former coach, his former office of coordinator, Kevin Stefanski 243 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, and what happened? Did you Rob. I I 244 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: don't know if a lot of people saw this because 245 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: it was like one of these under the radar games 246 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: that people were like, WHOA, what's going on with the score. 247 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: So the over under for Brown's Vikings was fifty one. Okay. 248 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: The final score was fourteen to seven, and Kirk Cousins 249 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: went down the field on the opening scripted drive bing 250 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: bang boom, touchdown, awesome drive. They didn't get back to 251 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: the red zone Rob the rest of the game. Stefanski, 252 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: who coached with Kirk cousin many years in Minnesota, knew 253 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: him so well. Kirk Cousins, by a mile had the 254 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: worst game that he's had this season. He was actually 255 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: really good the early three games. I know it didn't 256 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: show because they were one and two. They had four 257 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: point o yards per play. They never got back to 258 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: the red zone. Kirk throws his first interception of the 259 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: season totally rattled him. I'm just telling you, guys, I 260 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: know people think that Cleveland browns ha ha. Listen, that 261 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: defense was unbelievable against the Vikings, and familiarity matters. Now, 262 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: I do want to point out Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield's 263 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: got some problems right now. He was not very good 264 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: at all. Missed at least three throws that he should 265 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: have had fifteen and thirty three Rob g fifteen and 266 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: thirty three for a buck fifty five four point seven 267 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: yards per pass. I drafted in fantasy this year. Think 268 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: it always got a great schedule. It all lines up 269 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: for him. He really missed Jarvis Landry and one of 270 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: my big takeaways, Browns are three and one. This is 271 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: a team that I'm not even kidding guys. They can 272 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl. That's how good this team is. 273 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is has a huge game for his confidence 274 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: and I don't want to say his future, but remember 275 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: he's in a contract here, right Rob. I don't think 276 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: he has that deal yet. You know he faces next 277 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: week Justin Herbert, who we know is a superstar. Everybody 278 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: knows that the next two games for Baker Mayfield against 279 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: head to head against Justin Herbert, had to head against 280 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, and I wanted that to dovetail briefly into 281 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, who we said MVP futures. People scoffed, Oh, 282 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: we heard that last year. Uh. I mean the Rams 283 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: last week with the number one team in the NFL. Right, 284 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: they take down the Bucks. They're undefeated. Everybody's a gas 285 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: up on the Rams, I said last Monday on the pot, 286 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: And I know I keep patting myself on the back. 287 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: When you have a really, really good week, you gotta 288 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: hypen um, I said, I like Arizona and Arizona. I mean, Rob, 289 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: if you it's Monday morning that we still have to 290 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: see your Raiders play the Chargers tonight. But if I 291 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: asked you right now, who's the best team in the NFL? 292 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: Is it the Arizona Cardinals. I mean, by virtue of 293 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: them being the only undefeated team, they have to be 294 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, right, I mean, I know they have some holes, 295 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: but what they were able to do to the Rams, 296 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: like that Rams defense, Uh, it was pretty good so 297 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: far the season. Pretty good, not great. They didn't They 298 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: were able to slow Brady just enough. Brady was the 299 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: leading rusher for them last week and Kyler, he went 300 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: up and down the field. They almost lost for two 301 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: yards on the Rams. I had, buddies, it's so fine, 302 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: like WHOA, what's going on? This place is a morgue. 303 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: The Rams can't do anything. Stafford, I see people taking 304 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: shots at him. Uh, Rob Parker. Uh. You know, I 305 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: don't know if I could say a friend of the pot. 306 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: I haven't talked about a minute, but um, taking shots 307 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: at Stafford. Okay, you know Stafford wasn't great. Arizona's real deal. 308 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: Holy Phil, folks, this is a damn good team. And 309 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: I think I have to check. I think, no, no, 310 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: So what's Thursday night football? Rob? Is it? Is it 311 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: Arizona or is it Rams? Somebody against Seattle? It's Ram Seattle, 312 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: Ram Seattle. That's a really good Thursday game. Listen. I 313 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: gotta say, these primetime games this year vin all super close. 314 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: I mean it started with Bucks, uh Tampa, and they 315 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: just kept going Bucks Cowboys. I'm sorry, Bucks Tampa. Um. Yeah, 316 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: so I thought this was a tremendous week for in 317 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: the NFL. UM. The other thing besides um, you know, 318 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: the Jets winning that I need to point out is, 319 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: uh the Zack Wilson burying after three weeks was a 320 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: little comical, and I purposely held off saying, listen, guys, 321 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: come on, look at the opponents, consider the coaches. He's 322 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: a rookie, his offensive lines beat up. He's gonna be 323 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: fine against the Tennessee freaking Titans, and there were some 324 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: early struggles, but Zach Mormon, Mahomes Wilson got it together 325 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: and by the fourth quarter Bro was humming and there 326 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: were two bombs that he threw, and Rob I joke 327 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: about him being the Mormon Mahomes, but he threw two lasers, 328 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: two passes over fifty yards. I think both were over 329 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: fifty in the air on a dime, like perfect passes. 330 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: The one that's on all the highlight reels this morning 331 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: is the one late where he way, he rolls out 332 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: and he waves to Corey Davis like go deeper. You 333 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: know who does that, Patrick Mahomes. He waves to Corey Davis, 334 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: go deeper, and then he just the defense could see 335 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: him waving. It's right there. Two guys go back and 336 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: he puts it in a basket and it's one of 337 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: those thors where you're like, that's my franchise quarterback. And 338 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: I know, I know it's one game, it's one quarter. 339 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: I guess a dumpster fire Titans defense. Let's a win. 340 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: And by the way, I looked at the schedule, Jets 341 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: in London next week against the Atlanta Falcons. Um, I 342 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: don't wanna it's too early to give a pick there. Officially, 343 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say that games very winnable for the Jets. 344 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: If you look at what they did in the trenches, 345 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: dominating the Titans with seven sacks. By the way, five 346 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: of those sacks on third down big time Salah was 347 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: dialing up the blitz is look at the Falcons offensive line. 348 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: It got man handled by the Eagles and it has 349 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: been pushed around every week since. Okay, I'm just saying, trenches. 350 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: Remember what was the poker guy we had, David Baker. 351 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: Trenches are everything to that guy. I should ask him 352 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: how he did. And I will add in the four 353 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: million dollar gambling contest because I started out four. Now 354 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: for the first time I took a peek at the standings. 355 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: I've got some ground to wake up. Okay, So I'm 356 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: not like I'm not even the top six yet. I 357 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: think there's four thousand people winnered. But I'm gonna be 358 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a big week for me. And 359 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: after the four and one, you need to go for 360 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: one five and you have to. And I'm pissed I 361 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: took Denver Lamar Jackson. By the way, rob let me 362 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: quickly ask you about your guy Lamar Jackson, so he 363 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: had his secondard passing game of his career. Uh, it 364 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: was against a Denver team that um they lost their 365 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks certain and um they lost Teddy Bridgewater they went 366 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: they had two guards out, So Denver was a little 367 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: beaten up. It was a dumb bet by me. Um, 368 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: but Lamar Jackson looked good, and I you know, we 369 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: didn't want to. I don't think we buried the Ravens. 370 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: I said, like they were in a dangerous area right, Um, 371 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're on their third left tackle. 372 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: Did you know that? Like, this is the team with 373 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: some issues healthwise, And if Lamar's beating you from the pocket, rob, 374 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: is this is this a by sign I'm seeing on 375 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: the in the window of the Baltimore Ravens. Their next 376 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: opponent and the first bet I made for Week five 377 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: was the Indianapolis Colts Monday Night football in Baltimore. Colts 378 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: third straight road game. I don't want to say I'm 379 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: unloading on the Ravens, but the Cults are beat up 380 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: to hell. Uh. That win over Miami was total fugazi. 381 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: Miami might be one of the three worst teams in 382 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: the league. And if Lamar's winning from the pocket. We 383 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: know the Steelers are toast right Steelers one and three. Uh, 384 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: this is a I have to view the Ravens in 385 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: a different light because the Broncos basically said we're going 386 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: to stop Lamar from running. I think he had like 387 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: thirty yards and Lamar said, fine, I'll beat you from 388 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,239 Speaker 1: the pocket. And he has not been able to display that, 389 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: So Rob, I don't I kind of am viewing the 390 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: Ravens in a bit of a different light. Not a 391 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: hugely different light, but a slightly different light. Remember, Lamar 392 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: was able to bring them back last week, get him 393 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: in position with some late throws, approach three hundred yards. 394 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: Now he tops it, And I know three yards is 395 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: kind of who cares? What does it matter? Well, he's 396 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: had two of those in his career, so I think 397 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: it's a big win for Lamar and maybe how we 398 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: view the Ravens. I don't know, what do you think? Rob? 399 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: You know it's funny that you say that, because my 400 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: view of the Ravens actually the last two weeks has 401 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: taken a hit. You know. I thought after the victory 402 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: against Kansas City that maybe they had turned a corner 403 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: with the way that they were playing, because I thought 404 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: their schedules set up nicely and I thought, okay, you know, 405 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: if they're going to become the Super Bowl contending team, 406 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: which some people had the men but before the season, 407 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: they were gonna have to get right against this part 408 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: of the schedule. And I don't think they've looked very impressive. 409 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,479 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously against Detroit they needed a record setting 410 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: field goal to do that, but against Denver, you brought 411 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: it up there down their best corner or one of 412 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: the best corners, They're down their quarterback, they're down multiple 413 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, and you have the wildly mediocre Drew Lock 414 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: going up against Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson should blowing this 415 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: guy out of the water, and they didn't really put 416 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: it away until very late in that game. So if 417 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: you're Baltimore, I know that the three yards sounds good. 418 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: If you're Lamar Jackson because he doesn't do it very often, 419 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: but his last two games he's completing and from the pocket. 420 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: So if he's not going to be giving you that 421 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: yards on the ground, which he hasn't the last two games, 422 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: then he needs to be better than was that throwing 423 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: the football Because they're daring you to throw it, and 424 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure that by putting a spy on him, I'm 425 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: sure I'm assuming that's what people are doing to stop him. 426 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: To have to watch the tape to really give you 427 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: a straight answer. But if they're daring you to throw 428 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: it and you can only complete, that's not much the 429 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: right home about. I mean, it's not great. No. I mean, 430 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: the guy that you mentioned as the m v P 431 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: front runner right now, Kyler Murray completing his passes. And 432 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is not quite on Lamar Jackson's level, but he's, 433 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, just just the half below with his feet. 434 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he can move, not quite like 435 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, but he's pretty close. But the difference between 436 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: Kyler and Lamar is that Kyler is killing you from 437 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: the pocket. He's not just getting by and and squeaking 438 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: by and doing just enough to win. I mean, he's 439 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: putting it on guys from the pocket. So if I'm Baltimore, I, 440 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm thinking a little bit, I'm not 441 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: as impressed. I'm not feeling too good about the three 442 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: and one records. I think some people are all right, 443 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: we need to talk about two quarterbacks before we get 444 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: to Monday night football first, I think we're approaching. Hey, 445 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: it's time for another quarterback to take first team reps 446 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: in practice in Pittsburgh. Ben Roethlisberger was that bad again 447 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: this week, Like you just watch him against the Packers, 448 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: and we know Ben a shot that they had to 449 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: take a big pay cut to show up again. And 450 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: the Steeler they don't have an exit plan like they 451 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: did not plan properly. They had what Duck Hodges, Mason Rudolph, 452 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: They bring in Haskins, Like I think this week you've 453 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: got to audition those guys because Denver's coming in and 454 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: Denver's pass rush can get to you. Why was lamar 455 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: able to be successful extending place? You know who doesn't 456 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: extend place the thirty nine year old refrigerator Ben Roethlisberger. 457 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: I mean, guys, he has not been good at all. 458 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: We know it's over and it's it stinks to watch 459 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: the end of this because this guy was a warrior, 460 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: you know, And it's funny. Rob I can remember the 461 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: play where the Steelers offensive linemen were carrying Ben down 462 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: the field, um legendary play because he was hurt and 463 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: he's such a tough guy fighting through it, and now 464 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: it's just like, oh my gosh. I mean, are you 465 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: ready for the stat He was sacked last year fifteen games, 466 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: thirteen times. He's been sacked ten times through four games. 467 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: I mean he's on pace to get sack forty over forty, 468 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,239 Speaker 1: which would put him right around like back in you know, 469 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: over a decade ago. But I know a lot of 470 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: guys are coming out and trying to hot take it. LetGo, 471 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: Ben's washed, He's terrible, and like trying to make a 472 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: sound bite of it. We were on this way early, 473 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: Like you knew this if you watched the second half 474 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: of last season and coming in this year, I think 475 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: this is the week we hear, oh, Dwayne Askins taking 476 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: the first team reps if there's one last gasp to 477 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: light a fire under Ben Roethlisberger. But I don't know 478 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: what the fire is gonna do, because it's not going 479 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: to improve his mobility, you know, the decision making, like 480 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: he can't do anything. He's just so limited back there, 481 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: and the Steelers are in trouble. They are hurting um 482 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: at the other quarterback Rob I need to mention is 483 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and this guy can't catch a freaking break 484 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: the calf injury. I didn't see the quote, but apparently 485 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: he's talking about, yeah, it should be back in a 486 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and you know what a player means like, yeah, 487 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: that's my optimism. Reality is probably like a month. And 488 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, now you've got the quarterback situation in San 489 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: fran because, as we've been to talking about on this 490 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: podcast for about six months, we know Kyle Shanahan wanted 491 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. That's obvious. They made the trade. They wanted 492 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: Matt Jones. Everybody's out in record saying, oh, that's like 493 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to everybody who knows him. I think it 494 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: was Schefter On record, multiple reporters have said that was 495 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: the target. And then for whatever reason, they changed to 496 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: tray lance. And if you watched a second of tray 497 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: lance on Sunday against a Seattle defense, that is hot garbage. 498 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: Everybody takes a turn on the Seattle defense. Okay, they 499 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: are terrible. They can't stop anybody. And if you you know, 500 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: it's funny, trade the box. Schorl will say, trade lands 501 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: two touchdown passes. Okay. Number one was in garbage time 502 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: when they were down four. Team was like a minute 503 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: left and I was begging for Deebo Samuel fantasy touchdown. 504 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: I got it now, I just need to hope that 505 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: the Raider's kicker doesn't score nine points to beat me. Um. 506 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: And the other one was one of the biggest blown 507 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: plays that you'll see all all season. Deebo Samuel wide open, 508 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: like thirty yards downfield, nobody within fifteen yards of him, 509 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: and he just runs the rest for seventy six yard touchdown. 510 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: So like the box score will be like, oh, tray Lands, 511 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: look at the yard age and to touch it like 512 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: garbage time and wide open busted play. Tray Lance looked 513 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: like a deer in headlights. And afterwards Shanahan came out 514 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: and said, yeah, that's why he's a number two quarterback, 515 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: meaning he's not even close to ready to start. Niners 516 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: are in some trouble, folks. I don't know what it 517 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: is that the injuries on this team the last few years. 518 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: They can't catch a break. Um. I mean, you don't 519 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: see a lot of mid season trades, although rob if 520 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: memory serves, Garoppolo was traded from New England to San 521 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: fran mid season. Then he sat out for like a 522 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: month learning shanahan system. And then he came in I 523 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: think and won like five games in a row. We 524 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: might have to double check that, but you know, he's 525 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: injured now, so there's nobody's trading for him. But you 526 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: have to wonder if they decide, like, listen, we're just 527 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna run out Lance to to get the reps in 528 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: the whole team's hurt. Were what's the record? One and three, 529 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: two and one, whatever it is. We're just just you know, 530 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: I know, we haven't shot at the super Bowl if 531 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: all healthy, but we're not healthy. So we're just gonna 532 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: play Lance and we're gonna unload Garoppolo if anybody wants it. 533 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't see that happening, but you gotta the possibility 534 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: has to be there, and the teams to watch. I 535 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: kept mentioning Pittsburgh, UM Indianapolis as well. Rob Any quick 536 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: thoughts on Jimmy g or Big Ben before we get 537 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: to Monday. In football, big Ben has been washed for 538 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 1: like a year now, you know. I mean, like, if 539 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: this is not really surprising anybody who's been following Pittsburgh, 540 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: I think even when they were at eleven and oh 541 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: last season to start the season, something like that, you 542 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: knew then even though they were winning, it wasn't It 543 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: was almost in spite of Big Ben. You know, he 544 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: can't move. Uh, he he doesn't have the arm strength 545 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: that he used to have. What made him so tough 546 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: back in the day was that he was so big 547 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: that even if he got pressure on him, he couldn't 548 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: get him down. And and that's just not the case anymore. 549 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: Um So, if you're Pittsburgh, you can't really be feeling 550 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: too well because you're you don't have assistant plan unless 551 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: you think Dwayne Haskins is the answer. That's number one. 552 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: Number two, you're probably not going to be bad enough 553 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: because your defense is still great to be picking at 554 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: the top of the draft next season or after this season. 555 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: You know, you you might be at the back half 556 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: of the top ten, which you know, maybe you're lucky 557 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 1: and like a Justin Fields type falls to you, but 558 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: you can't always count that kind of thing in the draft. 559 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: Um as far as Jimmy g goes, I mean, that's 560 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: what he does. Like it's hard for me to be 561 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: surprised because he's hurt every season. Like that's just who 562 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: he is. He is injury prone. I don't I don't 563 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: know what it is about his ligaments or his bones 564 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: or his tendons that's more brittle at some point, at 565 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: some point, is no longer just like unlucky, exactly Like 566 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: I don't know him and Carson Wentz have the same 567 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: thing where I know all none of these injuries seem 568 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: like they're related. But at some point you gotta just 569 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: be like, hey, that's just who he is. And if 570 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: you're the Niners, I know that tray Las did not 571 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: look good against San Francisco, but Justin Fields looked downright 572 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: horrible in his debut performance, and he looked, you know, 573 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: just slightly below average, you know today excuse me, on Sunday. 574 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: So and that was against uh, Justin Fields look look 575 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: pretty good against the Lions, who again, anybody with a 576 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: pulse can look good against that defense. Yeah, that's fine. 577 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you I'm not gonna jump down 578 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: Trey his throat, considering he probably did not get any 579 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: reps at all during practice outside of like special packages. 580 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: He didn't really know what he was going up against. 581 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: And I'm sure that when the forty nineers get the 582 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: Cardinals next week that they're going to have some stuff 583 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: install that's gonna make him more comfortable, some early throws 584 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: to gave him some early completions, and I think you'll 585 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: see a much better showing from him next week. UM. 586 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: I do want to quickly say before we get to 587 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: Monday night football, UM, the two games that I bet 588 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: fairly signift Akin Lee. UM. I took Arizona favored by 589 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: four against San France. I just you quickly look at 590 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: the San Fran injuries. You look at Trey Lance. I 591 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: don't care if he is an entire week to get 592 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: ready for that Arizona defense. UM, you're talking J. J. Watt, 593 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, too fast linebackers in Collins and the kids Simmons. 594 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: Lance is not going to be able to win with 595 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: his legs against his defense. I I this Arizona defense 596 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: is really really strong. UM, I think they'll be able 597 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: to contain Lance, and I don't think they can keep 598 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: up with this Arizona offense. By the way, Cardinals over 599 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: thirty points over four dred yards first four games of 600 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: the season. I think they're the only team in the 601 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: league to do that. The other game I bet uh 602 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: Carolina minus three and a half against Philly. I I 603 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: hate the hook, but um, Rob if you watched any 604 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: and I was invested in the Chiefs. If you watch 605 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs Eaguals, it was like the Eagles were down four 606 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: offensive linemen starting the game from week one four and 607 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs were getting major press. Rod Taylor Hurts and 608 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense is Swiss cheese. It's so bad, holes 609 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: all over the place. Hurts was like moving the ball. Hello. 610 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: The Panthers have a real pass rush. I know they 611 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: have some secondary woes, but again, the roller coaster of 612 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: the Panthers is they opened up the season Rob facing 613 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, Jamis Winston, Davis Mills, three below average quarterbacks 614 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: and two of them are rookies. Then they go face 615 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and they get torched. Well, Dak Prescott's an 616 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: MVP candidate. Guess what they're going now? Now down against 617 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: a weak Eagles offensive line and against a young Eagles 618 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: quarterback who can be mistake Brown. I don't see anyway. 619 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: They have a ton of success offensively. I like Carolina 620 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: to win at home for sure. Um and Rob, if 621 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: are you still alive in your Survivor league? Tell me 622 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: you're doing Survivor this year? Oh my god, are you 623 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: out of your mind. Survivor is one of the things 624 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: that like legitimately everybody has a chance to win, that 625 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: you're not doing it. Oh my gosh, So I'm in 626 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: I think five survivors one. I think I think I've 627 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: won two or three in the last decade. Um, No 628 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: like major six figure wins, but some significant wins. So 629 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: I heard a lot of people like twisting themselves into 630 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: a pretzel single. You can't take the bells this week. 631 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: You gotta save him for week fourteen. Like, shut up 632 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: with that nonsense. I mean, you gotta get to week fourteen, 633 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: you know. Uh. And this week coming up, the ones 634 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: that jump out like screaming off the page is the 635 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens head home against the Uh I'm sorry they 636 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: face uh. I can't believe I'm spacing on it. The 637 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, who are in their third grade road game 638 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: with a beat up offensive line against the Ravens, who 639 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: loved the blitz Carson Wentz his blitz a verse because 640 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: he is just afraid in the pocket. He's like a 641 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: little trembling dog back there. And um Ravens can stop 642 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: the run. Um. I I just don't see a path 643 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: to victory for the Colts. So for for sure my 644 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: number one will be Ray Evens unless you know Lamar's 645 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: back injury, uh is significant. I don't think it's that bad. Um. 646 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: He looked fine throwing for over three yard against the Broncos. 647 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: But UM, I I feel like that isn't is the 648 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: It would be my number one because nobody's taking the 649 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: Ravens yet. Uh. They haven't faced any super awful teams. 650 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: They've had a really hard schedule. This will be the 651 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: weakest team they play. Um and the other one I 652 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: was looking at and probably will not be one of 653 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: the more popular options should you consider it. But the 654 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers did not look good. Check national TV 655 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: narrative of they're not that good they beat up. Check 656 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: going home to face the Miami Dolphins, Jacoby Brissette against 657 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: his pass rush and Todd Bolts.

I asked you semi 667 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: jokingly last week what weapon you were bringing for the 668 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: parking lot and do you have keV lar Um? I 669 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: don't know. What are your thoughts? Uh? Well, I'm just 670 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: gonna bring a small switchblade, you know, nothing too crazy. Yeah, 671 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to. I don't 672 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: want to hit it my father in law for I 673 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: don't know, you know, my father laws a gun collective. 674 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna wait till later in the season 675 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: or something like that. Uh No, you know what it's 676 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a Raiders home game. You know. I 677 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: was talking to our friend Lamar Mitchell was on the 678 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: pod this last week from name Jim Grant, and I said, Hey, 679 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: how the heck do you give the Chargers the requisite 680 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: three points as the home team considering it's gonna be 681 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 1: right your fans. And he's like, that's a good question. 682 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: He didn't really give me a good answer, but that's 683 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: a good question. So you know, I'm expecting uh to 684 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: not be able to do the pod tomorrow, so apologies 685 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: for that. But I'm also expecting a Raider's victory, so 686 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 1: it should be good. Oh is that? Are you wagering 687 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: on the game? Perhaps it depends what kind of odds 688 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: I can get. I know that the I'll definitely take 689 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: the points, but we'll see if I might go Raiders 690 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: on the money line as well. We'll see how I feel. 691 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: So it's like they don't want to the bookie. The 692 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 1: books do not want this to be like a flat 693 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: three or even a three with the minimal usual juice, 694 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: so you gotta pay a little extra. So it's like, um, 695 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty bucks to win a hundred. If 696 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: you want to take the Raiders getting three divisional matchup, 697 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: the probably the best bet is to stay away, right um, 698 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,439 Speaker 1: because like there's really no edge at three. Um the 699 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 1: total being fifty one and a half has come down 700 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: a little bit, which is interesting to me. I and 701 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: everybody anticipates high scoring, right you would think, so I 702 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: definitely problem is the Chargers red zone woes. If you 703 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: look at their games, like I think they only had 704 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: seventeen against the Cowboys because they kept imploding in the 705 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: red zone. Uh, and they're just they move the ball 706 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: in between the twenties great when they getting close, it's 707 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: just kind of a cluster. So you know, you could 708 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: look at that under. But primetime unders are really crazy, 709 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean other than they they hit on Thursday and 710 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: they hit on Sunday. So they're now eight and two 711 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: to primetime Unders. But again, Chargers moved the ball at 712 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: will against Washington, scored twenty points moving ball at will 713 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: against Dallas seventeen. Then they were almost perfect in the 714 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: red zone against the Chiefs to get to fifty four. 715 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: I would look at the under if anything. And Rob, 716 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: I know you love your guy Derek Carr, but come on, 717 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: he's got to return to earth a little bit, right. 718 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,720 Speaker 1: This cannot keep up. I mean, Derek Carr is playing 719 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: exactly how he's played the last year and a half 720 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: or so. The only difference is that now they have 721 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: zero running game with Josh Jacobs being nicked up the 722 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: last few games, so he's had to throw more. I mean, 723 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: he's been a good quarterback for a while. Now is 724 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: just people starting to finally pay attention because the Raiders 725 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 1: don't suck. I'm the most anticipated matchup for me is 726 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: third and Renfro one of the best nick names. You 727 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: put that on our T shirt, I'll probably buy it. 728 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: Um whoever, the Chargers are gonna match up with him 729 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: in this lot because he is killing teams, especially on 730 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: third down. If it's third down and you have an idea, 731 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro, like, you're not doing your job. By the way, 732 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray not gonna play due to an ankle tonight, 733 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: that's suboptimal for the Chargers. If you're asking me a 734 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: gun to head and I know you're not allowed to 735 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: like say that in this in these PC times, I 736 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: would take the Chargers to win. UM. Nothing against Rob G, 737 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: but Rob enjoy the game. Stay safe out there tonight, 738 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: all right, Ben, and we'll talk to you guys tomorrow
