Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. Catch your breath.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Time to catch your breath.

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: It goes witching hour, break, Witching hour, then us catch

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: your breath. Then get ready for prime time and the

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: watch party that's about to unfold here on Fox Sports

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: Radio Live right here, Fox Sports Radio Studios. Let's do

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 2: Week five in the National Football League, along with my

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: man Eat from Salama, Mark Willard. Good evening, good late evening,

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: early evening, or aloha to those of you who are

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: just getting to mid afternoon. Thank you for being with

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: us wherever you are. Hello, my man, how are we

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: doing tonight? I'm doing good man. How you doing?

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing fantastic. You played in the league.

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: So it is one of those cliches that people who

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: were in the league try to tell people who are

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: not in the league every week for the rest of

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: our lives, and we never listen, and we never ever

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: ever seem to actually absorb this idea, and in fact,

19
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: it's probably true about some people in the league as well.

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: I don't remember the name of the player, was a

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: young player on the Green Bay Packers.

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: After they went to and oh remember their their start.

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: They had two really good teams come to Lambeau, Detroit

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: and Washington. Green Bay beat him, and one of the

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: young players on the Packers was caught on an open

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: mic saying, I honestly think we have what it takes

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: to go undefeated. I do, we could go undefeat. They

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: were two and oh and what happened The very next week?

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: They lost to the Cleveland Browns, and the head coach,

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: Matt Laflora, goes, I try to tell them this every week,

31
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: but apparently I'm not saying it loud enough. It is

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: a week to week league, and I am blown away

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: every time you and I get together at five o'clock

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: Pacific on a Sunday night. When I look at the

35
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: gap the difference in the NFL between good and bad,

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: it's about an inch. That's what I've decided. It's about

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 2: an inch. And I know you well. We got examples

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: of teams that really suck in teams that are really good,

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: and I get it. But right now it's possible that

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: three hours from now, from four and one is going

41
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: to be the best record in the NFL. There's only

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: one unbeaten team left. They're about to play the Bills.

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: So four and one is really, really good right, Oh yeah,

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay box are forour and one. They have

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: outscored their opponents by three points collectively. In other words,

46
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: as they grabbed the ball in Seattle about a half

47
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: hour ago, they were dead even with their opponents for

48
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: the year, and then they drove down and kicked a

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: field goal and their for and one. Meantime, San Francisco

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: forty nine ers Thursday night.

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Introducing each other each week.

52
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: To one another in the huddle, and they've outscored their

53
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: opponents by eight eight points. Also form one. Also form

54
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: one and one play here or there is the difference

55
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: right now between what feels like maybe a good year

56
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: and a bad year to this point.

57
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: At least crazy.

58
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: Uh can we say a year of parody?

59
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: It feels like that doesn't And I know.

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: The NFL loves it. Oh hell yeah, they love it

61
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 3: because they're you gotta tune in, you gotta watch. I mean,

62
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: even teams at the bottom of this thing can pop

63
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: their heads up for air and and give you a game. Huh. Saints, Titans,

64
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: Hello Titans. Hello, We're still waiting for the Jets to

65
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: pop up.

66
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: But you know, well, yes, did the Cardinals just go

67
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: scoreless in the second half.

68
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Did I did that happen?

69
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: Didn't score in the second half of that football game,

70
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: and they allowed the Titans to score sixteen in the

71
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: fourth quarter.

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: That was just wild. Explain it to me, man, I.

73
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: Look, I there's a lot of youth in the league.

74
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: The league's turnover for younger players is greater than ever,

75
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: which you get, and so there's a lot of young

76
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: coaches as well. And it's sometimes it's a situation where

77
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: you know, it's the league has changed so much, so

78
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 3: fast the last couple of years, where it feels like

79
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: the formula for winning has changed.

80
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: Right.

81
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: People start relying heavily more on analytics right now, more

82
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: than ever. You're going forward on fourth down. No matter

83
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: where you are, it was you could you wouldn't even

84
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: imagine going forward in your own territory. Ever, on fourth

85
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: people are doing it. It's fourth and three. It's not

86
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 3: even fourth and inches, it's fourth and three.

87
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: Other people are doing stuff that I would love to

88
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 2: do a documentary, and right on, what were you thinking?

89
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 1: Explain it to me? That's all Like, I'm open minded,

90
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: and I think, go on.

91
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: I think that's why things are the way they are.

92
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: Decisions are being made based on something other than real like,

93
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: this is the tangible experience of this is how we do,

94
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 3: this is what you do. So now there's so many

95
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: different variables on why you should do something, and coaching

96
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: are are are doubling down on those decisions. And we've

97
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: seen coaches coach themselves out of wins. We've seen decisions

98
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: being made that lose games. I mean, Brandon Staley made

99
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: a career out of it.

100
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: Yep.

101
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: And so when you're looking at it, used to be

102
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: we're going to put our team in the best position

103
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: to win. Then Dan Campbell stormed through the league and

104
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 3: an unorthodox way and they begin to win. So people start, well,

105
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: maybe we can do that. But you know, they have

106
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: one of the best offensive lines in the league. They

107
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 3: have one of the top two receivers in the league.

108
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: They have a quarterback who has a career of winning.

109
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: They have like, they have pieces to take chances. The

110
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: problem is when teams don't have pieces and they start

111
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 3: doing things like that, Oh that's a disaster. Oh that's

112
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: a disaster. What works for them does not work for you.

113
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: And so there's a lot of there's a lot of

114
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: that to me that's going around and so it kind

115
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: of thrown the whole access off off kilter a little bit,

116
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: if that makes sense. It's wide open up. You could

117
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 3: do anything. It's wide open.

118
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I mean this thing.

119
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: So like just about everybody in the NFC has a

120
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: team atop the division at four and one. As you said,

121
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: the two teams I just highlighted have barely outscored their opponents.

122
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: The Niners have barely been able to roster a team.

123
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: I Yet these two teams are four and one. There's

124
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: a division in the NFL where everyone has outscored their opponents.

125
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: There's a division in the NFL where no one has

126
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: outscored their opponents. These things are all just kind of

127
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: fun little factoids. But I tell you what, for those

128
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: of you who, and I know it's most of you,

129
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: if you play fantasy football three thirty Pacific, six thirty

130
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: in the East, that's not enough. You're gonna have to

131
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: make it all the way to the end. Because I

132
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: don't know what it is. Why does it it gets

133
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: drunk for the last thirty five minutes of those afternoon games.

134
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: It is.

135
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why what the hell happened today?

136
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: It felt like if I like you about eight guys

137
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: that scored eight touchdowns each all in the second half

138
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: of these games. Today meantime, I mean, we probably need

139
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 2: to do a deeper dive on what just happened, specifically

140
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: to the Arizona Cardinals in the second half of that game,

141
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: because I mean, it almost feels like the fix was

142
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: in the way that they lost that football game. And

143
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: are you telling me that two weeks in a row

144
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: somebody has let go of the ball at the one

145
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: inch line on their way into the end zone. Did

146
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: that actually happen again after it just happened last week?

147
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: Just incredible, an incredible comedy of errors in order uh

148
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: to make that thing happen.

149
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: So Fantasy Survivor pools, get the hell out of here.

150
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't like, I have no idea.

151
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: I have no idea because I'm getting text messages and

152
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: here's one thing I want to throw at you. Buddy

153
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: of mine just said to me an hour ago, Ravens

154
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: are done. And my first thought was, oh, like hell

155
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: they are? Where do you stand on that? The Ravens

156
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: are one and four? You think they're done?

157
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: Not in that division, not even close, Not in that division.

158
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: I think the Ravens are struggling well, but you're going

159
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 3: to struggle when your whole defense is not healthy and

160
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: it wasn't good one it wasn't good when they were.

161
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: And the one or two best player in the entire

162
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 3: league is an ev available. When your team is built

163
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: around the one or two best player in the league

164
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: and he's not available, that means that player carries a

165
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: large burden and a large portion of why you're successful.

166
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: And when that's gone, there is no backup that can

167
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 3: come in and do that. And case in point, when

168
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: you look at someone like you look at someone like

169
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 3: the Niners. Are you looking at someone like the Vikings?

170
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:41,239
Speaker 3: Are you right? Their system is built around taking quality

171
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: players and putting them in the right position. So when

172
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: one goes down, when your starting quarterback goes down, and

173
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: you have a viable backup, they can come in and

174
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 3: have success because the system is made for that success.

175
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: And so when your system like a Baltimore, when your

176
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: system like a Buffalo, when your system like a Philly,

177
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: when your system is built around someone being spectacular, you

178
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: don't have two spectacular players on your team at one position,

179
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: And so that's when you find the drop off. And

180
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 3: that drop off is steep, it's step. It's no way

181
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush could almost be in a position to help

182
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: this Baltimore team. It's just impossible because the team offensively

183
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: isn't set up for the reason Dereck Henry is Derek

184
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 3: Henry is because oh you have to watch out full

185
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson as well. When he's not there. Derek Henry,

186
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: he has fifteen carries for thirty three yards, and that's

187
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: two point two yards to carry. That's why, because their

188
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: systems are set up around the greatness of that player.

189
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: If Josh Allen is playing is not playing for Buffalo,

190
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: you think Buffalo looks like they look.

191
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: No, most definitely not. No, most definitely not.

192
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: However, and I know that these things are complementary and

193
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: all of these things work together. But that defense also

194
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: missing a bunch of people. I understand also missing a

195
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: bunch of people. But we were talking about that defense

196
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: when they were healthy. They're just giving up buckets of

197
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: points every week.

198
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: But the difference was they were in games because.

199
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: Yes, because of Lamarge, that's it.

200
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: And now that's gone.

201
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: But the point remains that we have become conditioned to

202
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: know that the Baltimore Ravens are gonna put together a defense,

203
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: especially in their building. They're gonna make you come in

204
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: and earn things. That group today, I think revitalized C. J.

205
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: Stroud's career. He barely threw an incomplete pass the entire day.

206
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: So I I don't know, man, I I don't.

207
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on there.

208
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: But that division is so crazy and so bad up

209
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: in a weak and yeah with Burrow and Lamar both

210
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: heard at the same time.

211
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not.

212
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: I'm not even close to willing to be ready to

213
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: write them off for the season after week five.

214
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: No no, no, no no, because eventually he comes back

215
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 3: and then you look at their record.

216
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: So say they have a.

217
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: They have a buye right or do they have a

218
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: buy coming out.

219
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: The Ravens, No, Ravens, Yeah, the Rams are coming, but

220
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: then they have and then they have a buy or

221
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: do they do?

222
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: They know they have a buye. They have a buye

223
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: but coming under the bye with a healthy Lamar and

224
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: then they'll get They have the Bears, the Ravens, the Vikings,

225
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: the Browns, the Jets.

226
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: Yep, the Bengals.

227
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: Say that again. Listen to what happens when they come

228
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: out of their by. Let's go ahead and say they

229
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: lose to the Rams and they're one and five, yep,

230
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: and everyone's gonna go well, that's the end of that.

231
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: Make it a bye, and then Lamar Jackson comes back

232
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: and listen to the next six football games. Bears Ravens

233
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: will play Bears, Dolphins, Dolphins, Vikings, Browns, Jets, and Bengals

234
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: seven and five, just like that. Seven and five. I

235
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: mean maybe not but six and six. Maybe maybe seven

236
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: and five.

237
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: It's right there. I mean, that is bad.

238
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: Really bad, laughable, even worse. I mean, it's literally the

239
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: list of teams you want to play. By the way,

240
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't get crazy at all the rest of the way.

241
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: They get through that, and then they have the Steelers.

242
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: We'll figure out who they are, and then they get

243
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: the Bengals again, they get the Bengals, and then the Patriots.

244
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: Patriots, Packers, Steelers, And I hate looking way too far

245
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: ahead because who knows who's going to be healthy and ready,

246
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: and it could all look different.

247
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: But that team's not done. No, no, no, and not done.

248
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: And Harball John, you know, the coaching is obviously they're

249
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: they're there. Once they start getting these guys back healthy,

250
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: then they become a different team when you have to

251
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: when you have to prepare for Baltimore and you have

252
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: to prepare for Lamar Jackson and Derreck Henry. That's those

253
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: defensive coordinators. They're puckered up all week trying to figure

254
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: out who do you stopping and and and what gives

255
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: you that we can't stop both? So do you it?

256
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: Lamar go crazy? You try to keep them in the pocket.

257
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: Do you dedicate the safety down to stopping Derek Hinton? Like,

258
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: what do you do? And without Lamar there, it doesn't work.

259
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: There's no threat.

260
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: Yep.

261
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: Just like if you took Josh Allen off the Bills,

262
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: how good would James Cook be?

263
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, no, not very good.

264
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: But both of them are actually about to play football

265
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: tonight in a matter of minutes. We will prime you

266
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: for that game, Patriots and Bills Sunday Night football also

267
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: coming up next. All I hear is people talking about

268
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel and also everybody in Tennessee talking about Callahan.

269
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: And those are the two coaches that are just they're

270
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: all walking the plank. And I'd like to know why

271
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: this coach's name hasn't yet been added to the mix.

272
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: So we'll unveil that coming up next. You've seen that

294
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: what you think. I expect a game tonight. I expect

295
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: a real game tonight in Buffalo. What do you think?

296
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: Patriots get the ball first, so we'll see. I know

297
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 2: this is a this is a big environment. There's a

298
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: big stage for Drake May right out of the gate.

299
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: But I'm expecting Buffalo to get a good, healthy portion

300
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: of what they can handle in this game tonight.

301
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, I think it's time for New England.

302
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: We had a lot of high hopes.

303
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: For New England. We did. We did.

304
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: A lot of people did, not just us, but it

305
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: seemed like.

306
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: They were.

307
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 3: They've made all the moves in the offseason to give

308
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: Drake an opportunity, starting with the coach, Mike Rabrol. I

309
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 3: think the level of respect we all have for him

310
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 3: is there is warranted. H He's been able to do

311
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: things without a quarterback that not many can. But tonight

312
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: he's going up against a different beast. He's going up

313
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 3: against one of those teams that have one of those

314
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 3: special players.

315
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: Yep.

316
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: And in my mind, there's only three of those guys

317
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

318
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 6: There's only three of those guys. Who's the third Patrick Mahomes. Okay, okay,

319
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 6: that's fair. That's fair to me, that's elite because you

320
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: take Patrick off the Kansas City Chiefs team. If you

321
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 6: took Patrick Mahomes off that team last year, are they

322
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 6: fifteen and two?

323
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they were two and fifteen?

324
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: Thank you, But.

325
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: I mean this just first thought that comes to my mind.

326
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: I mean, can we acknowledge what's happened to the Bengals

327
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: when Joe Burrow leaves?

328
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: Yes, but we've also can acknowledge what happens to them

329
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: when he's there.

330
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, that's fair. It's not like they were.

331
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: It's not like I mean that was a very very

332
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: small sample this year.

333
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: Last year, and the year before.

334
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like so you got this is not just

335
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 3: in the moment type of thing for me, Like I

336
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: think Joe Burrow is one of the most talented quarterbacks

337
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: on the planet. But what I'm talking about is this

338
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 3: is no matter what is going on around you, there

339
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: are three men on the planet Earth that can single

340
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: handedly do something miraculous. And in my opinion, it's just

341
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: just my opinion, we happen to work in an opinion

342
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 3: based business, we do. In my opinion, that's Josh Allen,

343
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson.

344
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I think you got I mean, no one,

345
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: no one's gonna throw their beer on that opinion.

346
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: Now, Bengals fans and you know they would say Joe

347
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: Burrow and yeah, man, but you didn't make the playoffs

348
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: last year.

349
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: No, it's interesting. I mean, I think you have a

350
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: fair point.

351
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: We've never really gotten a lengthy look at what the

352
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: Bills or Chiefs would look like without Mahomes or Allan

353
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: and maybe that is part of their draw.

354
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: Like they've also.

355
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 3: Hold that's definitely part right.

356
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 2: They've been tremendously healthy throughout their career, even though they

357
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 2: are mobile quarterbacks who do a lot out on the field.

358
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: But like, it's interesting walk.

359
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: Around the league and coming into the year, were there

360
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: any other fan bases that would be like, wait, what

361
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 2: about our guy?

362
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Well, actually, Jayden Daniels.

363
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: Did leave Washington for a couple of weeks and no,

364
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: still a pretty viable football.

365
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: Team, pretty viable, you know, impressive win for them today.

366
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's back.

367
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: And uh and after a slow start, they got things

368
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: going against a really good defense. I think the world

369
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: of him, you know, But I don't know, is Jalen

370
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: Hurts in that conversation. Is Jared Goff in that conversation? Yeah,

371
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's some fan bases that feel that way,

372
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: but I think your opinion.

373
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, got a good foundation to it.

374
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: And and we'll get back to it after we bring

375
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: our guy in here. Yep, Big D, Big Dan and

376
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 3: and and give us an update. But we'll get back

377
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: to that.

378
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you just see what our show's like without Steve.

379
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: Don't worry. He's gonna be here quickly.

380
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 7: The Charger fans didn't have reason to stick around after

381
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 7: what the Commanders did him in the second half. But

382
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 7: Steve will be here. But I am in his spot

383
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 7: for the damn Yeah. Hey guys, Hey, you talked to you.

384

00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 7: Yes, Yes, it's good to be here on the night

386
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 7: where we've got some baseball and obviously the NFL going on.

387
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 7: I'll just get baseball out of the way because you

388
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 7: can see it on Fox Sports one right now. Tiger's

Speaker 7: topped the Yankees thirteen to seven in their Game two,

391
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 7: so Toronto up two to zero in the best of

392

Speaker 1: Bills have the football.

397
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 7: Backed up in their own territory again just a couple

398
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 7: of minutes into the contest. At the end of the

399
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 7: contest in Arizona, it sounded like this, here we go.

Speaker 8: Cox snaps it back, sly lets it fly.

401

00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: Sports Radio studios. Mark Willardy from salam Okay, he mentioned

437
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: that Arizona Tennessee game and then he even played the

438
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 2: clip of the field goal going through. Joey Sly kicks

439
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 2: it through and the Titans are a winner in Arizona.

440
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: I'm not a coach firer. I don't like going for

441
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: people's jobs on the show. That's not kind of where

442
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: I'm at. But I'm trying to figure out what it

443
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 2: is that's actually happening in Arizona.

444
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to.

445
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: Figure out because this is clearly also one of those

446
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 2: teams that we just sort of decide, oh, they're cursed,

447
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 2: they're never good. But like, let's spend some time on

448
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: this for a second. And for those of you who

449
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: might have been out and about you on a honeydew list,

450
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: you're at a kid's birthday party. Who knows what you

451
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: were doing today if you didn't get a chance to

452
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 2: see how this went down with Arizona up twenty one

453
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: to three and then finding a way to uncork a

454
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: sixteen to nothing fourth quarter in favor of the Titans

455
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: to lose this game. You had he married de Mercado

456
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: breakthrough for what was going to be an easy seventy

457
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: yard touchdown or so, and he did the same thing

458
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 2: that happened to the Colts last week, which is he

459
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: flipped the ball in celebration before he crossed the goal line.

460
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: So there was that, and then the Titans scored a

461
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: touchdown that I think a from unbelievable. Was the craziest

462
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: touchdown I've ever seen.

463
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: In my life. Never happen again.

464
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: And I've been watching a whole lot of football for

465
00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: a long long time.

466
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong or if I missed anything.

467
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: You had cam Ward hustle out to his left scramble,

468
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: then he.

469
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: Throws the ball over the middle of the field. He

470
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: got tipped. It got tipped, and I said it intercepted.

471
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: The intercepting player falls to the ground.

472
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: Then they fall to the ground. Then then they get.

473
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 3: Up the ball. They were getting up the ball, pops free.

474
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: Fumbled the football, but then they had about three chances

475
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: to just recover it.

476
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 3: And all they did was hit it into the end zone.

477
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: It squirted around like a bar of soap on the

478
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: floor of the shower and flew into the end zone,

479
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: where I don't even know who fell on it for

480
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: the Titan player.

481
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: Titans player, yes, and that is they touched own, that

482
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: touched out. I've never seen that before in my life.

483
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: We'll never see it again.

484
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 2: I mean so their coach's name is Jonathan Kennon, and

485
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm not like, that's not on the coach when something

486
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: like that happens.

487
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: But like, let's go bigger, let's go macro.

488
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: You and I had the Marvin Harrison Junior conversation last week,

489
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: and I know he put up some stats again, but

490
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: it just when you add in de Mercado, I know

491
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 2: they're injured in the backfield.

492
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Oh boy man, this is a team

493
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: that just they just do not feel buttoned up.

494
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: If you look and find how they lost these last.

495
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: Three games that they've lost, it's.

496
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: Really kind of unbelievable that they found a way to

497
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: lose all of them.

498
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: It was this one.

499
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: It was the Thursday nighter at home against Seattle where

500
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: you know they tied that thing up with what felt

501
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: like four seconds to go and found a way to

502
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: lose in regulation. There's the game in Sam Francisco where

503
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: you're up fifteen thirteen with a couple of minutes to go.

504
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: You let you let Mac Jones go all the way

505
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: down the field and win that football game. And that

506
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: came after three or four ridiculous dropped passes that all

507
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: would have closed that game out. I just I don't know.

508
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with that football team

509
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: in that situation.

510
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 3: I got one better for you. I see the Angle

511
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: year coming in and I'm asking myself, well, how did

512
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: they win the two that they won? Interesting you're looking

513
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 3: at how they lost, and I'm asking myself just watching

514
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: them play this year, how did they win those two?

515
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: I mean because they beat the Saints by a score yep,

516
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: by seven, and they beat the Panthers by five by five.

517
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: So we should be asking ourselves because if I'm not wrong,

518
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: the Saints and the Panthers are two of the worst

519
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: teams in the league. Did they win those two games?

520
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: That's what I'm asking because everything that I've seen from them,

521
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: they're just not, like you said, buttoned up.

522
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: They're at the.

523
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: Party with chest hair out, you're standing at a wedding

524
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: as the best man and got your nipples showing. They

525
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: are not button up at all. And it's amazing that

526
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 3: they snuck in two games. Well they're talented team, are they?

527
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 3: I think they are?

528
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: Yes, Well they're best receiver. Well that's what I mean.

529
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of an on paper thing. Maybe that's not

530
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 2: James Connor.

531
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: When James conn is, he's the stabling force, he is

532
00:30:54,040 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: the beacon for them. They go as he goes. He's gone. Yeah,

533
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: so they're all over the place. It wasn't Kyler who

534
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: was the leader. It was James. So who is the

535
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: leader there? Who is that?

536
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

537
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 3: That's the problem.

538
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

539
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: There, you have it, that's the problem. Now New England

540
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: got a botched uh you know handoff from Buffalo yep,

541
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 3: and then gave it back to them.

542
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: Well, I would like to talk about don't don't tell

543
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: everybody what just happened yet, because I would like to

544
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: talk about what just happened in this football game in

545
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: both a micro and a macro sort of a way. Okay,

546
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: And there's one player. There's one player. I won't reveal

547
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: his name yet, but swear to God Aphraim, if I

548
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: were coaching that football team.

549
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: We wouldn't see him again in the month of October.

550
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: That would be the end of that That would be

551
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: just about the end of that, and actually it's coaching malpractice.

552
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: That this player still starts.

553
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: So we're gonna we're gonna get to all that here

554
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: in in just a second with me from Salama Mark Willard.

00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Studios. I'll go Macro first.

564
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: Talk to me about an NFL team's hesitation to put

565
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 2: a rookie into a key spot. Why does it take

566
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: so long when you can look at a player and

567
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: you're like, well, that player is better than the person

568
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 2: there behind. I can see it. You can see it.

569
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: Any dummy can see it. Why does it take so long?

570
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 3: Well, it also depends on when that rookie was drafted

571
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 3: in the value of that rookie. Okay, now, if it's

572
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 3: a first round draft pick, you don't want to do

573
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 3: anything to stop or reverse his development, So you're.

574
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Cautious because you have so much.

575
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: Writing on said rookie, Like it's one of those things where, right,

576
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 3: you wouldn't take your brand new sports car on a

577
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: rally race across the desert, right, Like, it'll be fast,

578
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: but you tear it up and which would make it ineffective.

579
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 3: So teams are hesitant to put rookies in places where

580
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: they deem not conducive to them getting better.

581
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: Okay, what if it is the second round.

582
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 3: Pick, there's still a lot of value there. Yep, there's

583
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 3: still a lot of value. Okay, So what the teams

584
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 3: are thinking that I have we have time with him.

585
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 3: We have time, so we want to get them in

586
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: the best position for them to be successful. So our

587
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: investment is successful.

588
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 2: As we speak, we're four forty and counting to go

589
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: in the first quarter of this football game. Remandre Stevenson

590
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: has just re entered the game for the New England Patriots.

591
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: On the most recent Patriots possession, Remandre lost a fumble,

592
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: which I've lost count how many fumbles he's lost in

593
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: just the last three weeks. And I would have said

594
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 2: I've lost count over how many he's lost through last

595
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: year too, except for they just flashed it up on

596
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 2: the screen. He has lost. This is last year.

597
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: This year.

598
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 2: It's week five last year, and this year he has

599
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: lost six fumbles. He has fumbled ten times last year

600
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 2: in this year, Eve From that's only twenty two games.

601
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: You're fumbling every other game.

602
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: As a starting running back in the NFL, you're fumbling

603
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,959
Speaker 2: every other game. I don't understand. They don't understand why

604
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: he is still on the field. You drafted a running

605
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: back in the second round. This is not a fantasy thing.

606
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't have him on my team. That is not

607
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: about that you drafted a running back in the second round.

608
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: He looks very exciting. I'm sure there are some analytics

609
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 2: that tell you this, that or the other. Maybe he

610
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 2: doesn't pass block as well. Okay, fine, okay, fine, but

611
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: there's got to be.

612
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's got to be.

613
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: You know, you and I talked about Woody Marx last week,

614
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: that kid in Houston now today whatever. Everybody touched the

615
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: ball because the Ravens were so bad and so they

616
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 2: spread it around.

617
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: And that's fine.

618
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: But like I told you, after week two or week three,

619
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 2: I go, well, that's your guy. He moves a lot

620
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: better than Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb's Body's gone through hell.

621
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: You like, that's your guy, so go ahead and make

622
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: that your guy. But a lot of times they just

623
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: they won't do that. They won't make it your guy.

624
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: And it's not even just rookies. I think the whole

625
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: fantay see football ification has really heightened our awareness to

626
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: this where a lot of times you'll watch a football

627
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: team and you're like, that's the guy, and the coach

628
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 2: is like, yeah, but but we're only gonna give him

629
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: the ball forty two of the time. We're only gonna

630
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: give him maybe half the snaps. And I get that

631
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 2: you got to spell people and all these things, but

632
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: like the death of the bell Cow sometimes really confuses me.

633
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: It really does, because you can see who the guy is,

634
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 2: and they won't go to the guy. I don't get it.

635
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: I love the Bill Cow, right, Dereck Henry's bell Cow. Yep,

636
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 2: is there a problem?

637
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: I love the Bill Cow? Love it. I play with

638
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: bill cows, you know what I mean? I mean one

639
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: of my Super Bowl last year. Ye yeah, you know.

640
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: And then here's the Raiders Taylor.

641
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 2: The Raiders, for example, like, okay, not a good football team,

642
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: and maybe that has something to do with their willingness here.

643
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: But like, and I know that they used high, high

644
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: draft capital on him.

645
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: But okay, Ashton Genty, you're our guy.

646
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: You're our guy.

647
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: But there are teams all over the league where we're

648
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: looking at these rookie running backs and they just you know,

649
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: I give.

650
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: You another one that finally popped today.

651
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: But I've had a really hard time understanding what took

652
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 2: you so long on Jacory Krofsky. Merit you you traded

653
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson because you loved him. Yeah, and then Eckler

654
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 2: gets hurt and you come out for three weeks firing

655
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 2: people named Chris Rodriguez at everybody, What are you doing.

656
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 1: Today? They gave him fourteen carries? What did they get?

657
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: A buck eleven, two touchdowns and a double digit road win?

658
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: What is the hesitation? Now, there are some things we

659
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: may not know. Sure that's fair? And what's the young

660
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: man Henderson? Right? Yes?

661
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 3: Now, if Traveon Henderson has a fumbling problem in practice,

662
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: and I'm not saying he does because I don't know,

663
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: it's no way he sees the field.

664
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: If he.

665
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: Can't get the concept of protection, it's no way he

666
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 3: can see the field understood, So maybe he's not getting

667
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 3: the playbook. So there are things that can stop a

668
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: team from putting a rookie in, just like there are

669
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: ways as young players, rookie players, you can make it

670
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 3: hard for a team not to put you in. Right,

671
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: And I use myself as an example. I knew the playbook.

672
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: Yep. They were like, at least he's going to know

673
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: what to do.

674
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the one that you want to know, the

675
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 2: one that's ringing around in my head. I don't know

676
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: if you woke up early today, but this Judkins kid,

677
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah, looks like I mean, he wasn't even on

678
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 2: the team two weeks ago, and now they're like, you're

679
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: our guy.

680
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 3: He's number ten. I was like, who is this a receiver?

681
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 3: It's like, who is this Quinn Shawn Judkins? He looks fantastic.

682
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 2: He had no camp, he had no camp, and they

683
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 2: trust him and they trust him. So, yes, you're right,

684
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's plenty we don't know. I also think, though,

685
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 2: sometimes coaches lean into the vets when they probably don't

686
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: need to be that sticky. More on this coming up. Yeah,

687
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: into the night we go. As Week five in the

688
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: NFL continues to unfall, then they got a little case

689
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 2: of the whoopsie days. He's going on so far in Buffalo,

690
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: a lot of fumbles, a lot of drop balls, a

691
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 2: lot of turnovers. What it has led to so far,

692
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 2: as you just heard, is an early first quarter three

693
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 2: nothing lead for the road team, the New England Patriots.

694
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: I will tell you this whole white out thing that

695
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: they're doing in Buffalo tonight. The uniforms are white from

696
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: head to toe, and the fans of Buffalo ephraim they

697
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: are obedient. Yes, my gosh, I want to know what

698
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 2: you say to the fan And it looks like every

699
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 2: section has about three of them. They decided to wear

700
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 2: their Blue Bills shirt tonight. I feel like they're social outcasts.

701
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 2: I feel like people are going to be wanting to

702
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: kick them out. Almost everybody did exactly as they were

703
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: told tonight.

704
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 3: Most situations like this, they've supplied you with the shirt.

705
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: Yes.

706
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: Now, when I go to Lakers games and they have

707
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 3: all the shirts and they're this is a great example.

708
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 2: Go ahead, tell people what happens at the Laker game

709
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: when they provide you with a nice xcel boxy gold

710
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 2: T shirt.

711
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 3: I can't wear it.

712
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: You can't wear it.

713
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 3: Nobody wears no, No one even tries to wear it.

714
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 3: But I can't wear it even though I would want

715
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 3: to wear it because it doesn't fit.

716
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't fit. That's different. So that's different.

717
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: A lot of people have picked out their best outfit

718
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: for that Laker game, and they're not about to put

719
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: a box.

720
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 3: No no, no, no no no. We're not about to cover

721
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 3: up this name branding whatever I have on. It's just LA.

722
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 3: People are watching.

723
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: This exactly, exactly, all right, Josh Allen is on the field.

724
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 1: We will keep you up to date.

725
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: Patriots three nothing closing seconds of the first quarter in Buffalo,

726
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 2: as the NFL's last remaining perfect team tries to stay

727
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 2: that way. You and I tried to tell everybody, I

728
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: don't even know if you still feel the same way.

729
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: It's been a little bit of an odd up and down.

730
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: Start for them, but down seventeen to three in Philadelphia

731
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 2: in the second half. Earlier today, the Denver Broncos, I

732
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 2: thought suddenly looked like the playoff team that I expected

733
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 2: to come out.

734
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: And play this year.

735
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 2: And that was a big adult victory for them today.

736
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was. That's a great way to

737
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 3: put that big boy yes, victory. I guess a team

738
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 3: that had seemed like they were unstoppable in terms of

739
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 3: winning close games, doing the right thing no matter what.

740
00:43:50,840 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: And what I saw from Philadelphia today, I'm concerned. And

741
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 3: I was concerned going into the game because I didn't

742
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 3: know how sustainable what they were doing was. But now

743
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 3: what Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos has done has

744
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 3: given you a blueprint to how to beat Philadelphia or

745
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 3: slow them down or get them uncomfortable. And what I

746
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 3: mean by that is they ran the boy eleven times.

747
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 3: Taekwon Barkley had six carries for thirty yards. That's five

748
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 3: yards to carry, yep, So why wouldn't he have twenty

749
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 3: five yards? I mean had twenty five carries. Dalen Hurts

750
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 3: threw the ball thirty eight times right well, for two

751
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 3: hundred eighty year two touchdowns look a great average. But

752
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 3: guess what, you now no longer control the game.

753
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: You lost the game. Jalen Hurts ran the ball twice today?

754
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 3: Do you now no longer control the game?

755
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: Why do you think the Eagles chose to do that?

756
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: I thought, I have a theory. I want to know

757
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: what you think?

758
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: Well, I thought, and when you have one high safety,

759
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 3: you're going to pass the ball. That's just what two

760
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 3: high safeties, you're going to run the ball. One safety,

761
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 3: you're going to pass the ball. When they stack the box,

762
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 3: then you passed the ball. Now they have top tier receivers,

763
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 3: that's not in question. They have a quarterback who can

764
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 3: pass the ball. Not the best passing attack in the league,

765
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: but it's surely serviceable. We've seen that even in the

766
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 3: biggest games in the Super Bowl. But if the Philadelphia

767
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 3: Eagles can't control time of possession, the down in distance,

768
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 3: then you take away their superpower. There weren't very many

769
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 3: third and fourth and ones, and matter of fact, they

770
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 3: didn't go for it at all. There was no fourth

771
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 3: down going forward.

772
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: Yep.

773
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 2: Well, I guess my question though, is did Denver's defense

774
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 2: do this to them or did they do this to themselves?

775
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: It was a game plan, okay, defense the d I'm pretty.

776
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: Sure you dared them to throw it in.

777
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 3: They did one and you can live with them throwing

778
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 3: the ball.

779
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

780
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 3: You can live with let letting Jayalen it over two

781
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty yards.

782
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to know if the Eagles franchise reads

783
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 2: the athletic that's my take. I want to know if

784
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 2: they read The Athletic, because there was a very very

785
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: telling article from Diana Orussini that came out either late

786
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: last night earlier this morning.

787
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't know when it came out, but.

788
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: That's when I got to it, and it bounces around

789
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 2: the league to kind of the ooh, what are we

790
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: hearing inside story stuff?

791
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard.

792
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 2: Turns out Mac Jones first thing that happened to him

793
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 2: when he woke up Thursday morning when he was playing

794
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: Thursday night football in la As he looked out his

795
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 2: hotel room balcony and saw a dead body floating in

796
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 2: the water.

797
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you like that. I don't know

798
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: if you heard that story.

799
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 2: But that was one of the things that was like,

800
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: check out some crazy stuff that's going on around the league.

801
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: Now.

802
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 2: The idea that aj Brown would be chirpy and frustrated,

803
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 2: that's news to no one. What I think was news

804
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 2: to people is that DeVante Smith feels the exact same way.

805
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 1: And so now.

806
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: We're talking about two receivers that really hold a significant

807
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 2: amount of your cap space. They are big names, they

808
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 2: have a big presence in the locker room. And I

809
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 2: very much doubt that the Eagles, who had won like

810
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 2: one hundred games in a row, are suddenly going to go,

811
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 2: We're gonna put We're gonna put the game on the

812
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 2: line today so that we can make our two receivers happy.

813
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 2: I doubt that, But I also know that it's pretty

814
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 2: hard to hold the whispers out. And I got to wonder,

815
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 2: when you've won how many games in.

816
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 1: A row had the Philadelphia Eagles won?

817
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 3: Team that's okay, something like that.

818
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 2: So when you went seventeen football games in a row

819
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 2: and reporters are circling around your locker room telling the

820
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: story of how people are all pissed off, I wonder

821
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 2: how this lands. Because not only did they lose today, Ephraim,

822
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: they were up by two touchdowns.

823
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 3: How on earth still throwing the ball?

824
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 1: Thank you? How on earth.

825
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: Do you have a two touchdown lead at home and

826
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 2: you're the Eagles and you just said it, you ran

827
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 2: the ball eleven times?

828
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:27,919
Speaker 3: Whether that's crazy to me in.

829
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 2: An entire football game, that does not make any sense whatsoever.

830
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. And I don't care how

831
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: many safeties were on the field.

832
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 3: There is a problem brewing and it has been brewing,

833
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 3: and I told some of my Philly fans, good friends

834
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 3: of mine, this aj Brown thing is going to cost you,

835
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 3: and it just cost them their first game because now

836
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 3: there's playcating going on. You're going to pass the ball

837
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 3: even though the world knows that's not the type of

838
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 3: team you are and you shouldn't have to be something

839
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 3: you're not. Oh you're Super Bowl champions. You control the

840
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, and you can control the time of possession,

841
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 3: not when you're passing the ball thirty eight times. Not

842
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 3: when you're passing the ball thirty eight times. And that's

843
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 3: the point. That's the problem that I see with the

844
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles. They're trying to address something that had no

845
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 3: bearing on them winning or losing a game. Now they've

846
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 3: made it a ford. Look, this is not what they do.

847
00:50:54,920 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 3: You five yards to carry six carries I and you're

848
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 3: up by two touchdowns.

849
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying.

850
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 2: If you just showed me this box score and said

851
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 2: let's do this from backwards to the front, like final

852
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: score twenty one seventeen.

853
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: Here's the box score, the first thing.

854
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 2: I'd say to you was, oh, they were down twenty

855
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 2: one and nothing, and they made a valiant comeback and

856
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 2: fell just short. That's what I would say, that's what

857
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 2: the box score tells me.

858
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 3: Yep, they had pass want to get back into the game.

859
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: You were down twenty one to nothing and you and

860
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 2: you fought like hell to get back in this thing,

861
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 2: and you almost pulled it out.

862
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 3: Turns out is the other way around. Listen to this

863
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 3: go ahead. Twenty three, twenty two, thirty two, twenty four.

864
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 3: Those are the number of passing attempts Jalen hurts his

865
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 3: head this season in these games they've won them all.

866
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 3: Thirty eight is what he had today.

867
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 2: And you were up not seventeen to three in the

868
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 2: second half, in the fourth quarter, fourth quarter. That's fourteen

869
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter.

870
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 3: That's a problem because now you want to make nice

871
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 3: with your receivers instead of winning football games. And I

872
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:38,479
Speaker 3: get it, you're gonna need them, you are, You're gonna

873
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 3: need them for sure. But as professional athletes, when you're needed,

874
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 3: you have to be ready, say Kwan Barkley, last year

875
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 3: had a historic year. Only one person, one time ever

876
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 3: has had a better year. He's a running back. You

877
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 3: won the Super Bowl. We have a formula We're gonna

878
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 3: stick to that formula until we don't win the Super Bowl.

879
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 3: Not being.

880
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: Four and oh.

881
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 3: Under the same formula and switching up the recipe and

882
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 3: trying to sell it to the people who stand in

883
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:35,439
Speaker 3: line to get the original recipe, It's not gonna work.

884
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 2: I wonder. I wonder, wouldn't it be fun to, you know,

885
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 2: hook everybody up to a line of texta tests. I

886
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 2: wonder how Davante Smith feels today. He got eight balls

887
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: for fourteen yards.

888
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 3: Hey man, he got his numbers. Yeah, got his numbers.

889
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: You lost?

890
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 3: Got your numbers though.

891
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 2: Eighteen targets to Devonte Smith and aj Brown eleven runs.

892
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 3: I wonder if Sakwon Barkley is gonna be at the

893
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 3: press commonference are tweeting some random cryptic tweet. I wonder

894
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 3: if Sakwan Barkley, the soul of that team, is going

895
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 3: to now turn to Twitter and be as cryptic as

896
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:25,479
Speaker 3: possible about this past game.

897
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: I'd bet against it.

898
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 3: Like the last time I had six carries was when

899
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 3: I was grocery shopping and I carried six bags out

900
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 3: of the car at one time.

901
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 2: But on Boom, Denver trailed by fourteen in the fourth

902
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 2: quarter and they ran the ball twenty nine times. Like

903
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, I cannot remember seeing a box score

904
00:54:56,719 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 2: like this. This is wild, absolutely wild, and that's a

905
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 2: hell of a win. Hell of a win for the Broncos.

906
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 2: The Bills get a field goal. They've tied this thing up.

907
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 2: It's three to three right now, early in the second quarter.

908
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 2: We'll keep you up to date. Steve will be along

909
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 2: in fifteen. There was controversy. I'm using air quotes. Controversy apparently.

910
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 2: I'm told that came out of Thursday Night Football this week.

911
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:30,279

Speaker 2: in a little bit of trouble. They're they're not pitching

929

00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: Good start, good start.

940
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 3: Last night they got lively bats man, Yes they got lively.

941
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: Beats, Yes they do. Yeah. But when you get a

942
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: when you get a.

943
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 2: Five run seventh inning, like that's usually you know, decisive,

944
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: When you get a five run seventh inning and all

945
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 2: that does is cut your deficit to six? Yeah, not

946
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 2: quite the not quite the playoff start the Yankee fans were.

947
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: Looking for no.

948
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 3: But you know I saw visions of that in the

949
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 3: wildcard round, right they had yep, you know it was uh,

950
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 3: they had very spirited wild card round.

951
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: Well, of course, you know, I.

952
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 3: Think they saved that thing. And that was it the

953
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 3: eighth inning of Game two. Yep, but I'm something miracul

954
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 3: was it?

955
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: Uh? Was it? Uh?

956
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 3: Chaseom Uh? He just decided I'm going to do it,

957
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 3: going to score this run, That's right. He didn't even

958
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 3: slow down.

959
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 2: No, and he was just ahead of the thrower, ahead

960
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 2: of the He was not in the line up in

961
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 2: Game one, and he was not pleased with that.

962
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: So he's like, what, I'm gonna show you why I

963
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: should have been in the lineup. That was pretty cool.

964
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 3: When that ball was hit and he just took off. God,

965
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 3: he was not stopping. No, No, but that's what it

966
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 3: took ye them to even make it to this point.

967
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 2: And then one game underway right now too into the evening,

968
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 2: the Mariners leaving the Tigers won to nothing in the

969
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 2: in the fifth inning. Tiger's threatening though, and so we'll

970
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 2: keep you up to day on that. The Tigers took

971
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 2: the one nothing lead in that series. Steve will have

972
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 2: all of that coming up in about five minutes. Hey, man,

973
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 2: I always you know, we start off segments sometimes when

974
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, I need your help. I need your help

975
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 2: because I like to, you know, bolst of the argument

976
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 2: a little bit.

977
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: I respect you. You played in the league.

978
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 2: Help me out, Help me out for anyone in the

979
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 2: great city of San Francisco that's like. And by the way,

980
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 2: one of these people with my mom my mom texted

981
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 2: me at eight forty five Thursday night, e from She's like,

982
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 2: I think Max should be our quarterback. God, and I'm

983
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 2: sitting here, Oh my god, I'm rubbing my temples because

984
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 2: there are twelve reasons why that's it's not even a thing.

985
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to dismiss anyone's opinion. If you love

986
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 2: Mac Jones, my god, what a warrior, what a performance,

987
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 2: What a performance? And any backup quarterback that goes three

988
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 2: and zero two of them on the road, battling your

989
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 2: own injuries, trying not to barf on the field, heroic performance.

990
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 2: But if you can't see what's the big picture, here

991
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 2: go you tell everybody why that's not a thing.

992
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 3: It's a good reason it's not a thing. Number one,

993
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 3: because I mean the obvious one is one of the

994
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 3: guys you're playing fifty plus million dollars a year or two. Yep,

995
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 3: there is no such things. Now, if this is last

996
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 3: year you got something, maybe you get talk about that

997
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 3: conversation is over. Brock Purty's your quarterback for the next

998
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 3: four years period, barn Injury. I said it earlier in

999
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 3: the show. There are certain teams and systems that are

1000
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 3: conducive to having success because the system is so good

1001
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 3: the reason brock Purty became Brock Party. Now he still

1002
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 3: has to make the throws. He still have to do

1003
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 3: all the things you need to starting quarterback to do,

1004
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 3: which he did all the way to the Super Bowl,

1005
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 3: all the way to the NFC Championship game of the

1006
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 3: whole nine aren't so here is rewarded.

1007
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Now.

1008
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 3: Mac Jones and brock Party were in the same draft,

1009
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 3: weren't they.

1010
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: No, brock Party was one year later Jones. Mac Jones

1011
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: was in the Trey Lance the draft.

1012
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 3: That's what it is, yeesh, And everybody thought Mac Jones

1013
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 3: was in San Francisco. Wants the word on a wire?

1014
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, Kyle, what it is? Yes.

1015
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 2: Moved up to number three to get Mac Jones, Yes,

1016
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 2: and they took Trey Lance instead.

1017
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 3: And do you wonder why mac Jones is successful in

1018
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 3: the Kyle shannonhan system because Kyle Shanahan knew he'd be

1019
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 3: successful in that system. Why do you think he's there.

1020
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 3: There's a reason Sam Donald is doing what he's doing.

1021
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 3: Guess where Sam Donald spent some time as well.

1022
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers and.

1023
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 3: The Shanahan system. He just didn't get an opportunity to

1024
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 3: play because uh Brock perty was playing and they playing

1025
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 3: extremely well. But at any moment, if Brock would have

1026
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 3: went down, Sam Donald would have came in and had success.

1027
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Now you can say, well, that's why you don't have

1028
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 3: to pay the quarterback. Naw, you don't want to do that.

1029
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 3: You want to pay the quarterback that wins for you,

1030
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 3: because that's what you do for players that win. Well,

1031
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 3: you can put anybody back there. You can't put anybody

1032
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 3: back there. Trey Lents didn't work, thank you. Jimmy Garoppolo

1033
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 3: worked to an extent, to an extent, So you have

1034
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 3: to be really cautious of what you're saying when you're

1035
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 3: talking about a quarterback controversy, just like we had Dan

1036
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,919
Speaker 3: Buyer's the first hour. But there is no controversy here

1037
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 3: because we got Steve de Seger from here on out.

1038
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 2: Because Dan came in and he had success. I thought

1039
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 2: he was very success. He came in, he had very successful.

1040
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,959
Speaker 1: He gotta win. Thank you Dan. Now back to our starter, and.

1041
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 9: I had enough success on the four or five that

1042
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 9: I'm actually here earlier than I I like it.

1043
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 8: Good evening to you, gentlemen.

1044
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 9: By the way, there was a college football game last

1045
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 9: night with Chuba Purty quarterbacking the University of Nevada, brother

1046
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 9: of Brock Party, and he was zero for four with

1047
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 9: two interceptions, and they went with another quarterback down twenty

1048
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 9: to three at the half and got close and lost

1049
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 9: at Fresno State twenty to seventeen.

1050
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 8: Who's the Fresno quarterback?

1051
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: EJ.

1052
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 8: Warner, son of Kurt Warner.

1053
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 9: We have a Sunday night football game that's well, nothing

1054
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 9: to write home about, Let's be honest. Four minutes to go,

1055
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 9: second quarter at Buffalo, the Bills and the Patriots are

1056
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 9: tied three to three. I will say if the Bills

1057
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 9: win tonight, they'll have a five and zero record through

1058
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 9: five weeks, and every other team in their division will

1059
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 9: have a losing record. We haven't had such a start

1060
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 9: in a division since twenty eighteen when the Rams got

1061
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 9: after a good start in the NFC West that year.

1062
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 9: But what's going on in this game tonight? The teams

1063
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 9: exchanged fumbles early, that exchanged punts, Then there was a

1064
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 9: Buffalo fumble that New England turned into a field goal,

1065
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 9: and early second quarter a home team field goal of

1066
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 9: thirty one yards and three to three. Now about three

1067
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 9: minutes left till halftime. Josh Allen nine of eleven, passing

1068
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 9: one hundred yards. Meanwhile, on the ground for the pay

1069
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 9: Matriots seven carries nineteen yards so far. As for the

1070
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 9: late afternoon games, Lions topped the Bengals thirty seven to

1071
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 9: twenty four. Commanders beat the Chargers in LA twenty seven

1072
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 9: to ten after trailing ten nothing in the first half.

1073
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 9: Jacory krossky Merritt just call him Bill had two touchdown runs.

1074
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 9: In fact, on only fourteen carries for Washington, he had

1075
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 9: one hundred eleven yards on the ground plus two catches

1076
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 9: for thirty nine yards. Compare that to the Chargers three

1077
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:31,479
Speaker 9: running backs they rotated in twenty one carries for them

1078
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 9: just seventy five yards on the ground and Omari and Hampton,

1079
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 9: the Charger first round running back, was reportedly in a

1080
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 9: walking boots coming out of locker room after the game.

1081
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 9: Titans got their first win of the season. They were

1082
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 9: down twenty one three to Arizona, second quarter edged the

1083
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 9: Cardinals twenty two to twenty one. Another walk off win

1084
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 9: for Baker Mayfield and the Bucks thirty nine yard field

1085
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 9: goal beats the Seahawks thirty eight to thirty five. Mayfield

1086
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 9: twenty nine of thirty three passing three hundred and seventy

1087
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 9: nine yard yards and two scores. Dallas got four TD

1088
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 9: passes from Dak Prescott and beat the Jets. Yes, they

1089
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 9: lost again thirty seven to twenty two. Saint shut out

1090
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,880

1092
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 9: one hundred fourteen yards in a score. Rico Dowdle was

1093
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 9: needed to step up on the ground for the Panthers.

1094
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 9: He did twenty three carries two hundred six yards rushing

1095
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 9: at a score. Panthers come back to beat Miami twenty

1096
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 9: seven to twenty four. CJ Stroud four touchdown passes as

1097
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 9: the Texans beat whatever's left of the Ravens forty four

1098
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 9: to ten Broncos with an eighteen nothing fourth quarter to

1099
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 9: come back at Philly and beat the Eagles. They've lost

1100
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 9: for the first time this year. Twenty one seventeen, Denver

1101
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 9: the final the Colts Jonathan Taylor with three touchdown runs.

1102
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 9: They crushed the Raiders forty to six. And in London

1103
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 9: this morning, the Vikings beat the Browns twenty one seventeen

1104
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 9: with the go ahead TD pass with under thirty seconds

1105
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 9: to go to Major League Baseball's play offs just American

1106
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 9: League today. The NL continues with their Game twos tomorrow.

1107
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 9: Vladimir Gero Junior a Grand Slam in Toronto Blue Jays

1108
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 9: thirteen to seven over the Yankees to take a two

1109
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 9: games to none lead in their best of five alds.

1110
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 9: Detroit's at Seattle going to the sixth inning on FS

1111
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 9: one right now Mariners with a solo homer lead. The

1112
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 9: Tigers won nothing. Detroit's offense one for sixteen so far,

1113
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 9: ruining yet another good effort on the mound from Trek

1114
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 9: Scoobley has seven strikeouts in five innings so far. The

1115
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 9: new AP College Football Poll is out the top three,

1116
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 9: Ohio State, Miami and Oregon, Penn State and Texas. Correct

1117
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 9: me if I'm wrong. They were preseason number two and

1118
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 9: number one. They are on ranked now already all the

1119
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 9: way out of the top twenty five, even though they

1120
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 9: were top ten teams this past week. But they lost

1121
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 9: to unranked opponents. And yeah, Penn State didn't just lose

1122
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 9: to an unranked opponent. They lost to a UCLA team

1123
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 9: that was zero to four and had literally never had

1124
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 9: a lead in any of its games, and their early schedule,

1125
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 9: let's just say, was not dotted with a bunch of

1126
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 9: Penn States. In the WNBA finals, Las Vegas defeated Phoenix

1127
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 9: ninety one seventy eight to take a two games to

1128
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 9: none lead. NASCAR win for the road course, Maven shanevan Gisbergen,

1129
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 9: and we will have more to update next hour because

1130
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 9: we'll get more details in facts done the NFL game

1131
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 9: and further updates. Maybe the baseball will be done. It

1132
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 9: could be Mariner's one game apiece in this best of five,

1133
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 9: but again the NL is off.

1134
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:32,879
Speaker 8: Back tomorrow.

1135
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 2: Back to you, okay, Steve, great stuff, Glad you're here,

1136
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 2: Glad you can settle in.

1137
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again.

1138
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 2: Next hour, we are live in the Fox Sports Radio

1139
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 2: studios along with e from Salam.

1140
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm Mark Willard.

1141
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 2: There's I'm just like man Couppeth, overflowing with teams. I

1142
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 2: want to get to the disappointment of the Las Vegas Raiders.

1143
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 2: The Giant Saints game has number one pick implications dotted

1144
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 2: all over it. But I still really really like Jackson

1145
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 2: Dart and I also just realized that we completely forgot

1146
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 2: to do three things, So let's do it at the

1147
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 2: top of the next hour instead, because I got all

1148
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 2: these things all set to go, and we got going

1149
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 2: on something else. So all of that, but I'm not

1150
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 2: quite done yet with your air quotes. Quarterback controversy in

1151
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Can I ask you a question? Why the

1152
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 2: Niners win that game?

1153
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: And how? Why and how how they win? When you

1154
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: think of what happened in that game, what do you

1155
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 1: think of?

1156
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:48,919
Speaker 3: The first thing I know is when these two teams

1157
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 3: play each other, it really doesn't matter what the records

1158
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 3: are or who's in what was that comes with these

1159
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 3: two teams. McVeigh and Shanahan know each other so well. Yep,

1160
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 3: Number one, they're friends. Number two they were working in

1161
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 3: the same system. So there are so many similarities to

1162
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 3: the systems.

1163
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:20,719
Speaker 1: That they run.

1164
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 3: And so it's been times where the Rams were unbeatable

1165
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,440
Speaker 3: and the Niners come in and beat them.

1166
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: And and vice versa. Yep.

1167
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 3: So the number one take from that is this is

1168
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 3: literally a pick them up for grabs. It depends, now

1169
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 3: what both these teams were doing. We're throwing the ball

1170
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 3: around the yard, Like, I mean, how great was it

1171
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 3: to have two games, separate games this week where you

1172
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 3: could do anything? Yep, literally, you could do anything at

1173
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 3: the quarterback position.

1174
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 2: Forty seven pass attempts for matt Stafford.

1175
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 3: Forty nine for mac Joe. I couldn't believe it. I

1176
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 3: was like, this is out of control.

1177
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but the Niners had a lot of plays.

1178
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,560
Speaker 2: They also ram the ball thirty three times Rams not

1179
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 2: so much sixteen kicks.

1180
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like, we're gonna put this on your shoulders,

1181
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford.

1182
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 2: Oh, until they got to the play that mattered the most. Yes,

1183
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 2: So this is kind of what I'm getting at. It's

1184
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 2: very very difficult to fund the worse. Yeah, go ahead.

1185
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: Say it.

1186
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 3: The worst fourth down call I've ever seen, given the

1187
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 3: team and what you had just done, Thank you, And

1188
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:03,640
Speaker 3: McVeigh couldn't wait to get in a press conference and

1189
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 3: eat that. Yep, he couldn't wait. I don't even know

1190
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 3: if anyone asked him a question. He just jumped on,

1191
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 3: jumped on that grenade right off the bat, and he

1192
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 3: was absolutely it was the worst when it happened, I said,

1193
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:26,799
Speaker 3: wait what yep, epic battle.

1194
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 2: The Rams had any passing play available they wanted by.

1195
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 3: That anything in the game, anything, and.

1196
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 2: They chose to run it and they gave it to

1197
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 2: somebody who also was on his way into the end

1198
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 2: zone just a game minute earlier and had the ball

1199
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 2: punched out literally inside the one yard line. So why

1200
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 2: did the forty nine ers beat the Rams? Well because

1201
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 2: the Rams executed very, very poorly down the stretch, even

1202
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 2: though it was evident in the second half that they

1203
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 2: had figured it out. They were heading downhill, they were

1204
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 2: doing whatever they wanted offensively, and quite frankly, had kind

1205
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 2: of figured out how to at least put a lid

1206
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 2: on what the Niners were doing. All they did after

1207
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 2: halftime was kicked three field goals, one of them being

1208
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: in overtime. So again we box score dive to look

1209
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 2: at mac Jones and again heroic performance thirty three at

1210
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,440
Speaker 2: forty nine, three hundred and forty two yards, two touchdowns

1211
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 2: and he did not turn the ball over. Fantastic, and

1212
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 2: he fought through injury really really great. But those numbers

1213
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 2: because of the style of the game that you just discussed,

1214
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 2: to come out of there.

1215
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: And be like Max carving them up, give him the job.

1216
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 2: No, tell me you didn't watch the game without telling

1217
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 2: me you didn't watch a game.

1218
01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 3: Right, because if they try this against anybody else, they'll

1219
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 3: be about four interceptions tagged into those forty nine attempts.

1220
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: Like you gotta see what you see.

1221
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 3: Styles make fights, absolutely, and these two styles are very similar.

1222
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: Yep.

1223
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:18,919
Speaker 3: That's why the score is similar and the numbers are similar.

1224
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:23,720
Speaker 1: Period. I'm glad we worked that out. That makes me

1225
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 1: feel better.

1226
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 3: Tell your mom that yeah, well.

1227
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I texted her back and then she was I

1228
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: think she went to sleep.

1229
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 2: But anyway, all right, we're in the Fox Sports radio

1230
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 2: studios and we got a bunch of teams to get to.

1231
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: Would love to get your thoughts on the Raiders. Believe

1232
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 1: it or not. I'm shocked. I'm shocked that it looks

1233
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: like this.

1234
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 2: We got three things coming up at the top of

1235
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 2: the hour, our top observations of the day, Still around

1236
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 2: the corner with it from Salam. I'm Mark Willard. This

1237
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Radio. Hey, real quick, you're kicking the

1238
01:14:54,800 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 2: three right, absolutely, taking the three right?

1239
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:02,719
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you got.

1240
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 2: One shot at it. The Patriots are at the one

1241
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 2: yard line with one second left to go before the

1242
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 2: before the half. They've had some opportunities here, but a

1243
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 2: mature decision. Here comes the nineteen yard field.

1244
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:28,719
Speaker 3: Goal and finally, yeah, right, yes, yes take the three.

1245
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: What did you think of what Sean Payton did in

1246
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:33,799
Speaker 1: the moment?

1247
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 2: And just to let everybody know, the Broncos are trailing

1248
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,879
Speaker 2: seventeen to three. Fourth quarter, they get one touchdown, okay,

1249
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 2: seventeen to ten. They're hanging around, hanging around, they get

1250
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:47,839
Speaker 2: the ball back, they go down, they score a touchdown.

1251
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 2: I got to look it up from I think what

1252
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 2: six and a half minutes to go?

1253
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 1: Still yeah in the game.

1254
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I a four ish somewhere.

1255
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: I got it.

1256
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:03,559
Speaker 2: I got it right here, No, seven thirty six left

1257
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:04,719
Speaker 2: to go in the game.

1258
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 1: They scored the touchdown to tie and they go for two.

1259
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 3: Wow, Like I said, I keeping world, Oh man? What

1260
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 3: And then they got it.

1261
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 2: They got it, they got it, and they went up

1262
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 2: eighteen to seventeen, and it kind of takes a little

1263
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:27,960
Speaker 2: bit of the heat off of it when they get it.

1264
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I was like, oh boy.

1265
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 3: Whatless well?

1266
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: What? I just want to interview people, That's what I'm.

1267
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 2: Like, What what analytic thing happened?

1268
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 1: What did what did you see here? What happened? Who

1269
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:57,639
Speaker 1: did this to you? Gifts right? Right? What advanced metric

1270
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 1: told you to do that? And then they got it?

1271
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,759
Speaker 1: And then they.

1272
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 2: Kicked a field goal with one eleven to go, and

1273
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 2: I wondered if you had thought about it, because now

1274
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 2: you're up by four instead of being up by three,

1275
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:17,520
Speaker 2: which ended up being.

1276
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: Decisive because the Eagles did.

1277
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 2: They came down the field and they would have had

1278
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 2: a shot to tie it with a field goal if

1279
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 2: they were down by three, but they were down by four,

1280
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 2: so they just threw up a hail Mary into the

1281
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 2: end zone and it got knocked down.

1282
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 3: Then they lost it looked like it almost got good.

1283
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 3: Was in I know, both receivers hands yep.

1284
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 2: And then they came down like a pretzel. They kind

1285
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 2: of interfered with each.

1286
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 3: Other, right, I think they hit it out of each

1287
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 3: other's hands.

1288
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: What did you think of the move? When he did it?

1289
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 3: I was shot. Like I said, if there is no

1290
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 3: there is no rhyme or reason to these decisions. They'll

1291
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 3: tell you of the book. There is no book that

1292
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 3: said do that. Just just what you want to do.

1293
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:17,679
Speaker 3: It's just what you want to do. That's just hitting

1294
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 3: a hard seventeen when the dealer has a four showing.

1295
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Oh god, you get kicked out for that.

1296
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 3: I'll flip the table on somebody over somebody with their

1297
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 3: five dollar chip.

1298
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a get up and leave. Well.

1299
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 3: I got twenty two thousand dollars on the table. You

1300
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 3: come in with your twenty five dollar chip. So I

1301
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 3: had to give gambling up man? Oh my, you know right,

1302
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 3: unless I'm at my own table. Yeah, get your own table.

1303
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1304
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 3: But then it goes really fast. Anybody they're thinking, so.

1305
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: Go you ever go do it the High Limit room.

1306
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:03,560
Speaker 3: I've done the High Limit.

1307
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: I figured you had done that before. What happens in there?

1308
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: Come on, man, what happens in there? It's good or

1309
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,679
Speaker 1: bad things. I'll just leave it at that. What kind

1310
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 1: of what kind of drinks do they bring it?

1311
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 3: They actually the real the premium. You get this real stuff,

1314
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 3: They really want you, like when you when there's a

1315
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 3: minimum and no limit on the table. That's that's how

01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 3: they get you.

1317
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: Come on, man, cough it up. What's the most you

01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: ever had on the table.

1319
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 2: It's okay, You're you're You're out of that world now,

1320
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 2: By goodness.

1321
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't know. Maybe I'm misspeaking.

1322
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I'm miss speaking. Maybe maybe I'm not sure.

1323
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: Oh this is good lord. Twenty plus years ago. Yeah,

1324
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:22,879
Speaker 1: how much?

1325
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 3: Nothing right?

1326
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: Because I thought I heard five zero. I don't know. No,

1327
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: that's what he said. That wasn't anything. What is it?

1328
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: What are we doing? No, there was no end. I

1329
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: know when I know the letter in that it was

1330
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: not in there.

1331
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:37,559

1336
01:20:56,439 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 2: team posted at w Today we are broadcast live from

1337
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios. It is Week five in

1338
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 2: the National Football League. We're talking it all out. We

1339
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 2: got a game and a half left to go this week.

1340
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 2: The Chiefs will put their two and two record on

1341
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 2: the line against the Jacksonville Jaguars tomorrow night. The Bills

1342
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 2: are putting their perfection on the line right now, and

1343
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,679
Speaker 2: as Steve just told you, they trail at half, though

1344
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 2: the deficit is small six to three, not the scoring

1345
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,679
Speaker 2: we expected with the way these two quarterbacks have been playing.

1346
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 2: But we will keep you up to date as this

1347
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 2: drama builds throughout the second half of this football game.

1348
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: But also we need.

1349
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 2: To get right to something that is quickly becoming a

1350
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 2: weekly tradition during football season around these parts, and that

1351
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 2: is we take you through three things, our top three

1352
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 2: observations of the entire football or anything else portion of

1353
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 2: the week as it brings us to this point. We

1354
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 2: normally do it at nine Easter. Let's just be real

1355
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 2: with everyone. I forgot, so let's do it now because

1356
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 2: I think we got some good ones.

1357
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: You want to lead us off and go first. I'll

1358
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:10,439
Speaker 1: go first. Go first.

1359
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 3: Shout out to the forty nine or Rams game Buccaneer

1360
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 3: Seahawks game. Huh right. We talked about them and the

1361
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:32,719
Speaker 3: thing that always gets lost in these type of games

1362
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 3: where they're completely entertaining, and in the Seahawks Tampa Bay

1363
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 3: game there were seventy seven pass the sixty seven passes

1364
01:22:50,600 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 3: thrown to one sack, one sack. In the forty nine

1365
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 3: Ers Rams game that we had on Thursday, which was

1366
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 3: a heck of a way to start off our week, yep,

1367
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 3: there were I mean almost almost one hundred almost pass

1368
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 3: almost one hundred passes two sacks. Shout out to those

1369
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 3: offensive lines on all four teams because as a former

1370
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:38,640
Speaker 3: offensive lineman, the game plan I hated was when you

1371
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 3: threw the ball almost fifty times. Because check this out.

1372
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 3: If you had fifty passing attempts in the game and

1373
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 3: I am perfect on forty nine of them and I

1374
01:23:53,320 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 3: give up one sack the defensive and it's celebrating.

1375
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: Yep.

1376
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 3: All he has to do is get one sack a game.

1377
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,799
Speaker 3: That would be seventeen sacks. He would lead the league

1378
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 3: and be in the running for Defensive Player of the Year.

1379
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 3: I have to be great on fifty passes, thirty passes.

1380
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 3: There is no room for air and I think it

1381
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 3: gets a little lost in the weeds because we're so

1382
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 3: enamored by the numbers these quarterbacks put up. It's not

1383
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 3: like Mac Jones, who threw the ball forty nine times

1384
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 3: also scrambled for fifty sixty five yards No, oh god,

1385
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:53,640
Speaker 3: yeah five yards yep, Matthew Stafford, no yards rushing. So

1386
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 3: I want just I want, I really want people to

1387
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 3: be aware how difficult it is for an offensive unit

1388
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 3: to throw the ball that many times and just give

1389
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 3: up one sack. So shout out to them, that's a

1390
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 3: really good one.

1391
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 2: I have a shout out as well, and mine goes

1392
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 2: to Justin Jefferson. I don't know how many of you

1393
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 2: might have still been asleep with all of this. Noe

1394
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,720
Speaker 2: goes way past him having another really good game overseas

1395
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 2: in London today and therefore a nice flight home for

1396
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 2: the Vikings.

1397
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: He is beyond elite.

1398
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 2: We already knew that, but he's elite in ways that

1399
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 2: we didn't even realize. I saw Justin Jefferson play a

1400
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 2: great game, and then after the game I heard him

1401
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 2: take accountability for another receiver on his team. I heard

1402
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:42,520
Speaker 2: him take accountability for Jordan Addison, who has been suspended

1403
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 2: to start the season two times in a row now

1404
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 2: and had to sit out the majority of the first

1405
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:53,719
Speaker 2: half today because of a decision by Kevin O'Connell because

1406
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 2: Jordan missed a team meeting while they're all in Europe together,

1407
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 2: and Justin Jefferson said, this is my fault for not

1408
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 2: doing a better job of keeping Jordan under my wing.

1409
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison is incredibly lucky that he has enough talent

1410
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 2: to still have a job in this league after the

1411
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 2: consistent horrible decisions that he makes as a teammate and

1412
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 2: as a human being, putting the lives of others in danger. Meantime,

1413
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 2: the one who has all the eyeballs on him, the

1414
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 2: one who actually has the pressure on him, the one

1415
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 2: who actually lives in a fish bowl, is the one

1416
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 2: who has a spotless personal record and is taking accountability

1417
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 2: for him, putting on the bulletproofess and standing in front

1418
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 2: of his teammate, shout out to you, Justin Jefferson and Jordan,

1419
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 2: get your act together.

1420
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 3: Get it together, brother, get it together. And that's that's

1421
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 3: well said, and shame on him. Number two is Baker

1422
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 3: Mayfield is the MVP of the league. Wow, it's MVP

1423
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 3: the league.

1424
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:18,280
Speaker 1: Hard? Are you hard? Are you how many? What? Three incompletions? Today?

1425
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 3: Brother, this man is all a mission.

1426
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:24,839
Speaker 2: For four incompletions. That's at Seattle. That's a good defense.

1427
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,600
Speaker 3: I was explaining to my wife why that game was

1428
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 3: so excited, why it was so exciting. I went down

1429
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:38,959
Speaker 3: the whole draft in history of Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield.

1430
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 3: What Baker Mayfield did for Cleveland getting them to the playoffs,

1431
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 3: went in the playoff game they got, they didn't like him,

1432
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 3: They wanted him out, They wanted Deshaun Watson. Baker Mayfield

1433
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 3: is the front runner for League MVP in my eye

1434
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 3: right now, based on his command of the game of football,

1435
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:16,080
Speaker 3: not a game, the game. He is unflappable. And when

1436
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 3: Leonard Williams got that unsportsmanlike penalty and the next play

1437
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 3: they scored, Baker Mayfield was in his chest talking trash.

1438
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:36,040
Speaker 3: That whole team in sideline will go to war for

1439
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 3: this man in a way that we haven't seen in

1440
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 3: a long time. My hat goes off to Baker Mayfield

1441
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 3: for not only growing up and maturing, but being one

1442
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 3: of the top quarterbacks in the all of the NFL.

1443
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:06,560
Speaker 3: And you can't ignore it. You can't ignore it.

1444
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Nope.

1445
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 3: No ten touchdown and in five weeks there's ten touchdowns,

1446
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 3: one interception, and.

1447
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 1: I think he's won all four games on his final drive.

1448
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 3: Brother, all of you can't even all of them script that, Nope,

1449
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:34,639
Speaker 3: Because no matter what goes on in a game, Baker

1450
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 3: Mayfield is here for it.

1451
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 1: He is here for it. And I applaud that. Yeah.

1452
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: No, just tremendous play. And actually I'll stick right there

1453
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,599
Speaker 2: with that team for my number two. I'm so glad

1454
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:50,600
Speaker 2: you propped up Baker. And I bet two of the

1455
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 2: things that you said to your wife when you're explaining

1456
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 2: his performance today, you probably said, he doesn't even have

1457
01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:01,439
Speaker 2: Mike Evans, he doesn't even have Bucky Irvan and so

1458
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 2: here I am to say, if Baker Mayfield.

1459
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:04,679
Speaker 1: Is the MVP.

1460
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 2: Oh, that team also has the rookie of the Year.

1461
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:14,360
Speaker 2: His name is imeca Ibuka. Man Lord, this young man

1462
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 2: is a star. He has five NFL games in his career,

1463
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 2: that's it, and he's already able to completely play the

1464
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 2: part of a one.

1465
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 1: And what I couldn't wait to see was, okay, young Buck,

1466
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:31,920
Speaker 1: you're playing great.

1467
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:35,719
Speaker 2: What happens when Mike Evans is not on the field

1468
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:39,599
Speaker 2: and the defense is looking straight at you. Well, how

1469
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:43,600
Speaker 2: does seven catches on seven targets for one hundred and

1470
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:46,920
Speaker 2: sixty three yards and a touchdown sound?

1471
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 1: That was what Ibuka did today.

1472
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 2: Abuka on the year twenty five catches, four hundred and

1473
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 2: forty five yards and five touchdowns in five games. He

1474
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:02,680
Speaker 2: is already almost to a thousand yard season as a

1475
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 2: true first round rookie.

1476
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 1: The chemistry that these two have already in.

1477
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 2: Such a short period of time is absolutely mind boggling.

1478
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 2: And I can't remember a receiver making this kind of

1479
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,880
Speaker 2: impact right out of the gate as a rookie since

1480
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 2: An Kwon Bolden, Randy Moss. I mean, the difference was

1481
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 2: with Bolden was nobody saw it coming. He wasn't an

1482
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 2: early round pick. Pookah Pooka same good point, fifth round

1483
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 2: didn't see it coming. Sometimes to me, it's harder when

1484
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 2: they see you coming and you have to fight for

1485
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 2: targets on a team with Evans and Godwin and all

1486
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:50,120
Speaker 2: these things that are happening. My gosh, he is absolutely fantastic.

1487
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, the Bucks are four and one, and they're

1488
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 2: also running the fantasy football world right now too.

1489
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for all those what look at the record. Look,

1490
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 3: people don't understand this train is going and there's nothing

1491
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:04,840
Speaker 3: that can happen in the game with They don't think

1492
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 3: behind Baker Mayfield they can come back.

1493
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:11,679
Speaker 1: Yep. That's how you create a legend.

1494
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 3: And Cleveland is sitting there just going, huh we wanted

1495
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 3: the massage king Huh.

1496
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,800
Speaker 1: Cool, yep, cool, yep, yep, yep. And so now they're

1497
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: out there with Dylan Gabriel. Yep. Here let me let

1498
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:33,240
Speaker 1: me let me guess. Is number three kind of off football? Yeah?

1499
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:35,679
Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, save it for the end because it's fun.

1500
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 2: I'll jump and do my number three. And it's that

1501
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:42,760
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll probably should have retired. And look, you know,

1502
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 2: somebody wants to hire you and pay you money, you

1503
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 2: get to take the job. I'm not gonna come down

1504
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 2: his road for taking the job. But I really thought

1505
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:55,600
Speaker 2: that that division that had four coaches with unbelievable resumes,

1506
01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:57,839
Speaker 2: you either had won a Super Bowl or a national

1507
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 2: championship if you were in that division, from Andy Reid

1508
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 2: to Sean Payton to Jim Harbaugh to Pete Carroll, I thought,

1509
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 2: my gosh, that division is really really something and I

1510
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 2: thought everybody in it was going to have a shot

1511
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 2: to make some noise this year. Obviously, the Raiders were

1512
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 2: predicted to be fourth, but with a professional coach and

1513
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:26,519
Speaker 2: a professional quarterback now in the building, and an exciting

1514
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:29,600
Speaker 2: rookie running back and a team leader on defense that

1515
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 2: I would put up next to anybody in the game.

1516
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 2: With all of that there, I thought, it's going to

1517
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:36,799
Speaker 2: be an interesting squad.

1518
01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:38,760
Speaker 1: And they're not.

1519
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,600
Speaker 2: They were up three to nothing at the end of

1520
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:47,880
Speaker 2: one quarter today in Indianapolis. They got outscored forty to

1521
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 2: three from that point. And the Indianapolis Colts didn't even

1522
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,920
Speaker 2: need a kicker to play this game. First two weeks

1523
01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:58,920
Speaker 2: they didn't need a punter. Now they didn't even need

1524
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 2: a kicker. Guy got hurt in the middle of the

1525
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 2: game and could not kick anymore, and the Colts were like, whatever,

1526
01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:08,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. We'll just take six at a time

1527
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 2: instead of seven, and we will score so many touchdowns

1528
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 2: that this game is going to be over by halftime.

1529
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:17,200
Speaker 9: And it was.

1530
01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 2: I am wildly disappointed by what I'm seeing from the

1531
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders.

1532
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there there, I had an although it pains me

1533
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 3: to say as a Bronco former Bronco.

1534
01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: I had high hopes for the Raiders.

1535
01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:33,679
Speaker 3: I know my good friend Brian who loves the Raiders

1536
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 3: in SC football, and he's always given me trash because

1537
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 3: I'm always trashing the Raiders. Well, they are hot garbage.

1538
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:44,200
Speaker 3: And I don't know what happened to Gino, but he

1539
01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,960
Speaker 3: didn't get the memo of you're no longer that quarterback.

1540
01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 3: You fencend it into a viable starter. So I don't

1541
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:56,880
Speaker 3: know what happened. Maybe it's the casinos, maybe it's the

1542
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 3: show girls. I don't know, but whenever he's in a

1543
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 3: city that doesn't sleep, he doesn't play well.

1544
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 1: It's good observation, good observation.

1545
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 3: So maybe he needs to get back to Middle America somewhere.

1546
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:20,599
Speaker 3: My third is shout out to my son, my eleven

1547
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:24,599
Speaker 3: year old son, who took a couple of weeks off

1548
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 3: of basketball so we can really focus on school. He's

1549
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 3: doing great in school, by the way, and he had

1550
01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:35,720
Speaker 3: big tournament this weekend and he comes in and I

1551
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 3: wasn't here all last week. I was out of town working,

1552
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 3: so we didn't do our gym workout or anything like that,

1553
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:49,160
Speaker 3: and he just came in and played extremely well, but

1554
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:52,880
Speaker 3: he had a game yesterday that they were down the

1555
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:58,240
Speaker 3: entire game, and they were down by two. They swung

1556
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 3: the ball to him with about thirty seconds left and

1557
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 3: he just stepped into a three hit.

1558
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 1: The three.

1559
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 3: Took him up for good and then calls the turnover

1560
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 3: as the team was trying to come down. Excellent defense

1561
01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:18,720
Speaker 3: made the guy travel. We win that ball game. He

1562
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:24,839
Speaker 3: averaged seventeen points, six rebounds, five assists, and three steals

1563
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 3: this weekend of basketball. So shout out to eleven year

1564
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:32,200
Speaker 3: old Elijah Salaam Man. I'm so proud of this kid.

1565
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:36,679
Speaker 3: Just shows up and competes that compete.

1566
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:40,960
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that. That's awesome, man, that's awesome.

1567
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:43,000
Speaker 1: There's nothing I told my son this.

1568
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:46,800
Speaker 2: He's eighteen, but he he's in the semi finals of

1569
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 2: his golf club championship yesterday, okay, and he he suffered

1570
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 2: a tough loss to a good friend of his who

1571
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:56,400
Speaker 2: was the defending champ.

1572
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: We're no longer friends. No, I never tell you exactly

1573
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:01,439
Speaker 1: they weren't. They weren't for about an hour and a half,

1574
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 1: of course.

1575
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 2: But I mean, my god, it was one of them

1576
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 2: like it was a heavy way bout and he was up,

1577
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 2: and then he was up, and then he was up,

1578
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:16,439
Speaker 2: and it was just the beauty of watching your kid play.

1579
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 1: There is nothing like you. There's nothing better, absolutely nothing better.

1580
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 1: So I love that. I'm glad you shared that man.

1581
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 1: All Right.

1582

Speaker 2: Ss dot Com coming up next. We all know the

1588
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 2: Bengals should trade. The question is should they be buying

1589
01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 2: or selling. We'll talk that out coming up on Fox

1590
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. All Right, got a football game here in Buffalo,

1591
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:09,879
Speaker 2: five and a half to go, third quarter, A personal

1592
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 2: foul on the Patriots is gonna set the Bills up

1593
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:14,599
Speaker 2: with a first down, with a real good field position,

1594
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 2: but short time ago Rimandre Stevenson into the end zone

1595
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 2: and the Patriots lead this one thirteen to ten. I'm

1596
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 2: glad both teams have decided to use the end zones.

1597
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 2: They didn't in the first half. Now we're getting somewhere,

1598
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:32,760
Speaker 2: we're live in these Fox Sports Radio studios. And if

1609

Speaker 2: Saga along in a few minutes. Do not get it twisted.

1610
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 2: Do not look at your phone at the end of

1611
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 2: the night and go oh, Jamar Chase, the number one

1612
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:16,080
Speaker 2: overall pick in the draft. He carried me to a victory.

1613
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:20,640
Speaker 2: Six catches, one hundred and ten yards, two touchdowns. Hey,

1614
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:23,400
Speaker 2: maybe this Jake Browning thing has got a little legs

1615
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:23,680
Speaker 2: to it.

1616
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Don't do that. Go watch the game.

1617
01:39:29,240 --> 01:39:31,600
Speaker 2: The Lions were up twenty eight to three at the

1618
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 2: end of three quarters, and this thing got put on

1619
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 2: absolute cruise control. Browning was picked three times, he fumbled

1620
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 2: another time, was lucky enough that his teammate recovered it,

1621
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:49,680
Speaker 2: and those two and Ozero Bengals are now very predictably

1622
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 2: two and three. Because of those weird division records we

1623
01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:57,760
Speaker 2: talked about earlier. Some are suggesting, you know, what the

1624
01:39:57,760 --> 01:40:00,799
Speaker 2: Bengals need to do. They didn't trade for Russell Wilson

1625
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:06,719
Speaker 2: or Kirk Cousins. Others might suggest, Nah, you probably should

1626
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:12,200
Speaker 2: like send Trey Hendrickson to a different team and build

1627
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 2: some draft picks is what you should do. Don't go

1628
01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 2: chasing something that's clearly not going to happen. What would

1629
01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 2: you do if you were talking to the Sincy front office.

1630
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 3: Look, there's an opportunity for them here if they had

1631
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,680
Speaker 3: a quarterback, a viable quarterback. Now, we're just going to

1632
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:38,640
Speaker 3: assume that Joe Burrow's done for the year, right he

1633
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:42,679
Speaker 3: had toll surgery. Yep, we don't know. I think IRS

1634
01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 3: was seven weeks.

1635
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 2: Well, IR is an automatic four. But the word on

1636
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:51,920
Speaker 2: the word on Joe was somewhere in the neighborhood.

1637
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:52,080
Speaker 1: Of ten weeks.

1638
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're looking at a Christmas return if everything

1639
01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:56,559
Speaker 2: goes perfectly.

1640
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's it's so just so here we are

1641
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 3: right because the division is the way it is.

1642
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:07,639
Speaker 1: Right if.

1643
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 3: The Baltimore Ravens were the Baltimore Ravens they had been,

1644
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 3: and the Steelers were, well they are, They're leading the

1645
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 3: division by a mile. Then I would say, okay, But

1646
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:27,479
Speaker 3: because Baltimore still has a shot, you would suggest they do.

1647
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:31,400
Speaker 3: They just don't have the quarterback. Now, with that said,

1648
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 3: if they go get Kirk Cousins or someone else Jake

1649
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 3: Browning is not it would they be better. Well, there's

1650
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 3: a learning curve there, like Kirk Cousins couldn't come in

1651
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 3: and run the offense at the highest level because he

1652
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:49,680
Speaker 3: hasn't been there, but we do know he can get

1653
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:55,200
Speaker 3: the ball down the field. So if I'm the front office,

1654
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,680
Speaker 3: I'm positioning myself number one, I do trade.

1655
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 1: For draft capital, yep.

1656
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 3: And I'm positioning myself to have a top five draft

1657
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 3: pick this year, and now I can flip the team.

1658
01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:16,920
Speaker 3: The receivers aren't going anywhere, Joe's not going anywhere. I

1659
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 3: can go get me a first round offensive lineman and

1660
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:27,439
Speaker 3: another edge rusher or a big, thick d tackle space

1661
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 3: eater or a corner with the other first round draft pick,

1662
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:37,559
Speaker 3: and bolster my defense with the remaining of the draft.

1663
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:44,760
Speaker 3: That's what I would do. That way, you don't have

1664
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 3: to spend money that you don't want to spend anyway.

1665
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:53,280
Speaker 1: Dig ding. That is a correct answer. That is correct.

1666
01:42:53,360 --> 01:42:55,559
Speaker 2: I don't know what necessarily what it is that Bengals

1667
01:42:55,560 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 2: would be chasing, Like sure, maybe something goes hey, why

1668
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,800
Speaker 2: are you come out of that division and and and

1669
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 2: do what and and do what with the Bills, with

1670
01:43:08,600 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 2: everything that is offered out of the AFC West, and

1671
01:43:12,520 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 2: even the Colts, like, let's go ahead and say it now,

1672
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:17,719
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis deal, that's the real deal. That's that's obviously

1673
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 2: a very very good football team.

1674
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:22,120
Speaker 3: You don't have a top five defense, They're going to

1675
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:23,640
Speaker 3: steamroll you and there's nothing you can do.

1676
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:27,479
Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions had four incompletions today and they even

1677
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 2: started letting running backs throw the ball four incompletions.

1678
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: That defense is not a viable defense.

1679
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 2: You can put any quarterback you want back there, and

1680
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 2: the Bengals are not going to win football games. So yeah,

1681
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 2: I'm with you, it's trade time. But they need to

1682
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 2: be taking calls, not making calls. Yeah, but it's time

1683
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,360
Speaker 2: for us to make a call. Yeah, we're gonna call

1684
01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 2: Steve de Seger ring ring ring, and we're gonna put

1685
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 2: him in the game.

1686
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:58,800
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, hi Steve. Hello, what are you doing right now?

1687
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:00,920
Speaker 1: I thought maybe you could go over and, you know,

1688
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:01,759
Speaker 1: do some stuff.

1689
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:04,400
Speaker 8: Is there football on there is?

1690
01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:04,760
Speaker 2: Oh?

1691
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:06,000
Speaker 1: Okay, sure. Yeah.

1692
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 8: By the way, you were talking about how the Yankees

1693
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:08,880
Speaker 8: are in trouble here.

1694
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:12,880
Speaker 9: They did lose thirteen to seven to the Blue Jays,

1695
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:14,840
Speaker 9: down two games to none and the best of five.

1696
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 9: It turns out the Blue Jays have scored the most

1697
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,760
Speaker 9: runs through the first two games of any single postseason

1698
01:44:20,960 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 9: in Major League history. Quite a start, twenty three total runs,

1699
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 9: grand slam from Vladimir Guerrero Junior. And on FS one

1700
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 9: there's a bowl game right now. The Mariners blew the

1701
01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 9: two to nothing lead top of the eighth. They've just

1702
01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 9: gotten it back with Julia Rodriguez RBI double bottom of

1703
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:39,000
Speaker 9: the eighth, three to two against Detroit, trying to even

1704
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 9: the best of five at a game apiece. And guys,

1705
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 9: it's appropriate we have an offensive lineman here on the show,

1706
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:48,839
Speaker 9: because I don't think this gets talked enough about in football.

1707
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 9: A lack of an offensive line or defense getting consistent

1708
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 9: pressure on a quarterback.

1709
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 8: Just blows up an offense.

1710
01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:59,040

1711
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:01,200

1713
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,439

Speaker 2: to say about that after a lot of these catches.

1790

Speaker 8: Well, he's just got another.

1791
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,560
Speaker 1: Is there some sort of history here between them? You

1847
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:58,519
Speaker 9: Literally, we brought this up about wide receivers and the

1848
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 9: word diva was used, and my point is that it's

1849
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 9: really just sprinters in general. They happen to be wide receivers,

1850
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:09,120
Speaker 9: but look at the Olympic sprinters. Yeah, it's just sprinters.

1851
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 9: I know, wide receivers get a bad rap, and sometimes deservedly,

1852
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:14,160
Speaker 9: so what we're talking.

1853
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:16,360
Speaker 8: About, but there's the more general point to be made.

1854
01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 8: They do something that nobody else can do, and they

1855
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:20,840
Speaker 8: know it so.

1856
01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:24,600
Speaker 1: Well said, and look, they're fancy. We love them, we

1857
01:52:24,760 --> 01:52:25,360
Speaker 1: root for them.

1858
01:52:25,600 --> 01:52:29,560
Speaker 2: They're a big part of what we do as you know, gamblers,

1859
01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:31,400
Speaker 2: fantasy players, whatever.

1860
01:52:32,040 --> 01:52:33,120
Speaker 1: Every single weekend.

1861
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:36,840
Speaker 2: They are the faces of some of their teams like

1862
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 2: football players will helmets. We don't actually recognize most of them.

1863
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 2: We know who these guys are, so I get it.

1864
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 2: I get it, their performers, all of these things. But

1865
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 2: I love what you said earlier from about aj Brown

1866
01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:51,439
Speaker 2: and DeVante Smith. We're guessing a little bit, but I

1867
01:52:51,520 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 2: think we have a point. Like they're unhappy, and their

1868
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 2: unhappiness came out right in the middle of a seventeen

1869
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 2: game win stream. That's not unhappy time, Oh lord, that's

1870
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:06,240
Speaker 2: and I know there's a lot of receivers who don't

1871
01:53:06,320 --> 01:53:09,799
Speaker 2: fit this bill, and it's probably ten percent of the guys,

1872
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:12,040
Speaker 2: and then they all get branded that way.

1873
01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 1: I've always loved the stories you've told about Andre Johnson, and.

1874
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:16,960
Speaker 3: That's why he's the go, right, That's why he's one

1875
01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:19,479
Speaker 3: of the greatest receivers ever.

1876
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:21,840
Speaker 2: Right, because he's a team guy. And he wasn't one

1877
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:23,800
Speaker 2: of these guys. And he was quiet, he wasn't a

1878
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 2: me guy. But man Jordan Addison and AJ Brown and

1879
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:30,200
Speaker 2: you know now here we are watching Digs.

1880
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 1: We'll see who wins this game.

1881
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 9: But and I would add, with Andre Johnson Hall of

1882
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:36,200
Speaker 9: Fame talent, he kind of had to be a team

1883
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:39,520
Speaker 9: guy in that situation. That was still a recent expansion

1884
01:53:39,600 --> 01:53:39,800
Speaker 9: to you.

1885
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, in the Hall of Fame with no other

1886
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:48,519
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame player or quarterback. I think he's the only.

1887
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:50,080
Speaker 1: Receiver surrounding him on that roster.

1888
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there goes Digs to the four. There you go,

1889
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 2: And I bet he'll be pissed if he doesn't catch

1890
01:53:57,880 --> 01:53:58,760
Speaker 2: the touchdown next.

1891
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:02,000
Speaker 9: He is up to nine catches, one thirty four. We've

1892
01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:03,879
Speaker 9: just started the fourth quarter at Buffalo.

1893
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:07,760
Speaker 1: Nice night for him. I bet this feels pretty good,

1894
01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:09,639
Speaker 1: feels great. It's gonna be luck.

1895
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 9: When we were talking about Derrick Henry on the show

1896
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:15,320
Speaker 9: on opening night and then he literally hasn't had as

1897
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:17,679
Speaker 9: many yards total on the ground the rest.

1898
01:54:17,520 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 2: Of the season since that night, we were like, he's dominant,

1899
01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 2: you can't stop him. And then our show ended and

1900
01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:24,439
Speaker 2: always done his fumble over and over since that.

1901
01:54:24,560 --> 01:54:27,080
Speaker 3: Good lord, right, since then, three fumbles.

1902
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:31,840
Speaker 2: Geez man, all right, the Patriots are threatening and we

1903
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 2: will keep you up to date. Great stuff tonight. Steve

Speaker 2: so it will always pop up at the top of

1916
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:19,720
Speaker 2: your screen. Look, Steve said it short time ago, five

1917
01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:24,240
Speaker 2: games where a double digit deficit was overcome today, So

1918
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 2: this may end up becoming the sixth eleven minute mark,

1919
01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 2: and the Patriots lead the Bills twenty to ten, but

1920
01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:37,080
Speaker 2: the Bills are driving in Patriots territory, So sure they

1921
01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 2: may end up winning this football game.

1922
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 1: But if not, how about that? And what does that

1923
01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:47,520
Speaker 1: say to you? If five weeks in we're already out

1924
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:48,440
Speaker 1: of undefeated teams.

1925
01:55:49,640 --> 01:55:52,400
Speaker 3: It's a lot of parody going on, but it harkens

1926
01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 3: back to what I was talking about in the first hour.

1927
01:55:55,720 --> 01:56:02,680
Speaker 3: Decision making in coaching is changed. You don't no one's

1928
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:08,120
Speaker 3: protecting leads anymore. We're caught up in the numbers and

1929
01:56:08,280 --> 01:56:12,440
Speaker 3: analytics and what you should do. And right, if you're

1930
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:16,720
Speaker 3: up by two scorers are a score and you decide

1931
01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:20,760
Speaker 3: not to add three points to that for whatever reason,

1932
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:28,440
Speaker 3: then what are you doing? So you get situations where

1933
01:56:29,640 --> 01:56:33,400
Speaker 3: you allow a team to get back in a game.

1934
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 3: We see it more and more because more and more

1935
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:43,320
Speaker 3: teams are putting either their defense or their offense in

1936
01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:50,400
Speaker 3: tough situations. So really, no lead is safe. Turn over here,

1937
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:59,280
Speaker 3: turn over there, PI, And so you find yourself in

1938
01:56:59,360 --> 01:57:00,600
Speaker 3: a situation and where.

1939
01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:03,200
Speaker 1: You're still in it.

1940
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 3: You you're you just teams believe they're still in it

1941
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:10,120
Speaker 3: because teams leave points on the on the field.

1942
01:57:10,440 --> 01:57:13,880
Speaker 1: Yep, that's an interesting take. You you really think that's

1943
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 1: a big piece of it.

1944
01:57:14,840 --> 01:57:17,320
Speaker 3: I think it's a huge piece of it. How many

1945
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:21,840
Speaker 3: times have we set here, you and I countless over

1946
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:25,240
Speaker 3: the years, You and I set here and something like that,

1947
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:27,320
Speaker 3: You don't take the field goal, you don't and the

1948
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:32,480
Speaker 3: game comes down to two points, one point loss, three

1949
01:57:32,560 --> 01:57:37,640
Speaker 3: point loss. And we say, well, they went for it

1950
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 3: twice on fourth down, didn't get anything. That's six points.

1951
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:45,680
Speaker 3: They went for a two point conversion, that's another point.

1952
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:51,800
Speaker 3: They lost by two. Yeah, they lost by one. This

1953
01:57:51,920 --> 01:57:54,320
Speaker 3: is what This is a real thing. I'm not making

1954
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:54,680
Speaker 3: this up.

1955
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 2: And you know, and it's it's funny too, because I

1956
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,280
Speaker 2: think the reason people don't think about it after the

1957
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:04,760
Speaker 2: fact is their mind has already moved past that.

1958
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it can happen early in the game.

1959
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 1: I remember everything, right.

1960
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 2: But they're expecting. In fact, they're annoyed if you don't

1961
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:17,200
Speaker 2: do those things. They're annoyed if you don't do those things.

1962
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:21,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this like one of the things Kyle

1963
01:58:21,080 --> 01:58:24,040
Speaker 2: Shanahan's out here. He's four and one. He's had three

1964
01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:26,480
Speaker 2: games without his quarterback. He hasn't had his tight end

1965
01:58:26,560 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 2: the entire year. The receivers meet each other every single week.

1966
01:58:30,720 --> 01:58:32,879
Speaker 2: Yet he's four and one, and one of the reasons

1967
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:35,880
Speaker 2: people are like giving him credit. It's not even for

1968
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 2: the four and one record to giving him credit because

1969
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:41,520
Speaker 2: he's going for it on fourth down more now, it

1970
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 2: hasn't really hurt them so far this year. They've they've

1971
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:47,680
Speaker 2: got a very good percentage. But I was watching that

1972
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Detroit game earlier today and right at halftime, the

1973
01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:57,520
Speaker 2: Bengals had a fourth and one from about the thirty

1974
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:03,680
Speaker 2: three thirty four yard line in Lion's territory, and they

1975
01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:06,400
Speaker 2: got over the they got over the center and ready

1976
01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:09,120
Speaker 2: to snap the ball, and the crowd is getting ready

1977
01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:11,560
Speaker 2: because they're going for it on fourth down, just a

1978
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 2: few seconds left to go.

1979
01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:15,880
Speaker 1: In the first half.

1980
01:59:16,800 --> 01:59:19,280
Speaker 2: And instead of snapping the ball, what Jake Browning did

1981
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:23,600
Speaker 2: was he just sat there and he tried to draw

1982
01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 2: the Lions offside. They didn't bite, and the clock whittled

1983
01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:31,160
Speaker 2: all the way down to three seconds, and they called

1984
01:59:31,200 --> 01:59:34,760
Speaker 2: time out and then they kicked the field goal, and

1985
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:40,040
Speaker 2: this fan base booed them, booed them out of the building.

1986
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 2: And I'm sitting there going, I know you're drunk, but

1987
01:59:43,560 --> 01:59:47,120
Speaker 2: do you realize that all of you are wrong? Like,

1988
01:59:48,040 --> 01:59:50,920
Speaker 2: of course you kick the three, even if you get

1989
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 2: the first down, you get a first down at the

1990
01:59:53,600 --> 01:59:56,400
Speaker 2: thirty with twenty seconds left to go.

1991
01:59:57,720 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, man taking points now has a bad rap.

1992
02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm real points and take my wins. Points you

1993
02:00:07,960 --> 02:00:13,960
Speaker 3: leave on the field in the first quarter have a

1994
02:00:14,080 --> 02:00:18,160
Speaker 3: mysterious way of coming back to haunt you in the fourth.

1995
02:00:19,080 --> 02:00:21,520
Speaker 3: Tell me I'm wrong, Tell me I'm a liar.

1996
02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:25,280
Speaker 2: You are not wrong, You are not a liar. But

1997
02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:29,920
Speaker 2: you are watching a close game. Kean Coleman touchdown, Buffalo Bills.

1998
02:00:30,120 --> 02:00:33,040
Speaker 2: We got ourselves. Excellent plank and spend you'll bring you

1999
02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:35,440
Speaker 2: through the end of this one. Have a good night, everyone,
