Speaker 2: brought to you my friends over there at Brightling keep

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: us shining all the time. I thought our boy Raheem

36
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: Morris was gonna get a huge win against Kansas City

37
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: the other night. But man, that boy mahomes you. He

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: don't give up easy, Mitchell. He does not. He does

39
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: not relent, and that team does not relent.

40
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: He does not Richard. Our friends at Brightling. As you

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: guys know, they're releasing a hundred team watches each. These

42
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: are time pieces that will stay in the family forever. Richard,

43
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: I freaking love mine. I'm gonna be wearing it on

44
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: Monday Night against your Seattle Seahawks. This is my gluck charm.

45
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: Rich this is my good luck charm. We're gonna get over.

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna get over that mountain that is Seattle. I'm

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: telling you that right now.

48
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: Mitchell, Mitchell, it's you know, I see better than our

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: heater at this point in time. I think it's gonna

50
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: be a really good game. I think the Detroit Lions

51
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: have an incredible offensive line. Obviously we talked about ragno

52
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: is banged up, but Seattle's defensive line is really banged up. Now,

53
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: they're really deep. They're really deep. They got interchangeable pieces,

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: but two huge, huge factors on his defensive line, Leonard

55
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: Williams and Byron Murphy, the first round pick. Maybe they

56
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: may be without him this week in Detroit, and that's tough.

57
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: This is probably the one game you talk about when

58
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: you see on a schedule that you need your big

59
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: people eaters up front to be available, and it's not

60
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: looking likely. But I got a feeling Mike McDonald, in

61
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: this brilliant scheme that he has both against the run

62
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: in the past, is gonna find up a way to

63
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: scheme this up and tighten those gaps and make it

64
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: really difficult for the Detroit Lions to see it. You know,

65
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: when he was with Baltimore, they gave Golf some tough times.

66
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they gave Kyle Shanahan some tough times. Everybody

67
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: saw that game where Lamar Jackson the four interceptions for

68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: brock Perty. This defense in this scheme can be very

69
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: disruptive regardless. But if Detroit wants a chance to win

70
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: this game, they're gonna have to run it like they

71
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: have been. I mean they ranted. I think they ranted

72
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: sixteen times with Gibbs. I mean I think they ran

73
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: it forty times overall. And they're gonna have to do

74
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: that consistently this game. If they're gonna have a chance

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: to win in that defense, that's where it's gonna come

76
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: down to. They're gonna have to stop Geno Smith. They're

77
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: gonna have to stop Geno. If they don't stop Geno,

78
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: Detroit has seen it first hand. He can get high.

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: He can get high, and he can get going.

80
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: He can And what a lot of people don't realize

81
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: about Gino is he's slippery out of the pocket, you know,

82
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: and that those tons of quarterbacks always give the Lions trouble.

83
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: They've been doing better. Their front four has been a

84
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: little bit more tenacious this year, especially Aiden Hutchinson. I

85
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a really, really good test for

86
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: both teams. Both teams are banged up. I mean we're

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: entering week four the season. Injury barg is starting to hit.

88
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Sam Laporta got rolled up on. He's probably

89
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a game time decision, I'm sure. Like you said,

90
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: Frank rag now looks like he's weak to week for

91
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: the Lions. Now they lost, you know, Derek Barnes for

92
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: a considerable amount of time, Richard, it's next man up

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: part of the season and we shall see. Like you said,

94
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: Detroit's got to get the running the ball early and

95
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: often and take control of this game. What I loved

96
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: what they did last week. They hopped out. They got

97
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: twenty points on the board in the first half. But

98
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't get it, man, they were unable to score

99
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: in the second half. You cannot do that against Seattle.

100
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Seattle's got a lot to prove. Still, They're three and oh,

101
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: they're one of the hottest teams in the NFL, and

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna come in looking for a win.

103
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: Monday night football should be fun. But Richard, we saw

104
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: some double headers in the Monday night landscape last night.

105
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: And in the Bills, I mean laid an absolute she

106
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: lacking to your favorite quarterback in the league, Trevor Lawrence

107
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: and the Jackson Bill Jaguars. Richard, what in the world

108
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: happened here?

109
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: Well? Well, first off, first off, Bill's mafia has to

110
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: be ecstatic because going into this game, going into this season,

111
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: there was some concern, there was some doubt, and I'm

112
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: sure they they'll they'll say there wasn't they always They

113
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: knew it all along that these receivers in this offense

114
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: would be just fine regardless of the situation, regardless of

115
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: losing Stefan Diggs and gave Davis and all the pieces

116
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: that they lost. And James Cook has been playing really well.

117
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: But what Josh Allen is doing right now is elevating

118
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: himself into a different stratosphere than than he's been in

119
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: in previous seasons because just like Mahomes did when when

120
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill left, he answered a lot of questions, Hey,

121
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: can he do it without Tyreek Hill? Yes, Canny, can

122
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: he still be an MVP caliber player? Is this his

123
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: his level playgun fall off? It's not. It's going even higher.

124
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: And that's what Josh Allen is showing the world. Hey,

125
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: it's me. It's hey. Everybody eats be. That's what he said.

126
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 2: Payd him full Mitchell. Everybody eats be and everybody's eating.

127
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: He's distributing the ball to everybody. Kean Coleman is doing it,

128
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: Khalil Secure is doing it. You see Dalton kink getting

129
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: involved a little bit. You're seeing everybody touch the football,

130
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: and it's really cool to see him have an MVP

131
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: caliber season showcasing himself and you're not sitting in there saying, hey,

132
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: Stephan Diggs is having an amazing game, and man, what

133
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: would he be without Stephan Diggs. He's answering those questions

134
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: really clearly with an exclamation point, and you have to

135
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: give him. In the Buffalo Bills, this defense, who have

136
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: a lot of young guys playing really really good football.

137
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: Von Miller is looking like his old self. Got another

138
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: sack last night. I think they had four or five

139
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: sacks in the first half. It's it's looking like a

140
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: really formidable team. And sometimes it's addition him by subtraction,

141
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: And when you're not so focused on getting one guy

142
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: to football and featuring that one guy and feeding him

143
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: and making sure he gets his touches, then it opens

144
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: up the whole offense because the defense can't double him,

145
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: they can't cloud him, they can't push the coverage towards him.

146
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: They're spreading it out and Josh is making phenomenal decisions.

147
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: He deserves a ton of credit, uh for everything he's

148
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: he's been doing. But on the other side, and we

149
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: have to get through this because Bill's mafia, I'm giving it.

150
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: This team is incredible. This is a super Bowl contending team.

151
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: They will be in my Power rankings top five and deservedly.

152
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: So I was wrong. I thought this team would it

153
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: would have some growing pains early, that they would have

154
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: to adjust and and and things. You know, they they're

155
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: still a quality football team and McDermott is gonna you know,

156
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: he's a good coach. They're gonna be competitive. But I

157
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: did not expect him to come into the season, go

158
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: undefeated and just be so dominant. They be they just

159
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: be Jacksonville dominant. They beat Miami dominant. They've looked really good.

160
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: The only game they didn't look super dominant is against Arizona,

161
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: and Arizona's one of those wildcard teams that just is

162
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: given everybody a tough time. You know, it's one of

163
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: those weird schemes. And offensively, Kyler Murray is a different

164
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: kind of guy. It's unique. But against a team that's,

165
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: you know, straightforward, you know, normal football team, they're doing

166
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: a great job. But on the other side, like Trevor Lawrence,

167
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, and I know, I know, I know Mitchell.

168
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: They call me a Trevor Lawrence hater. I'm not. I

169
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: don't hate the guy. That he's a good person. I'm

170
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: sure he's a good person, not just a football player.

171
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: And what I was told was a generational talent. And

172
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: people said I'm too hard on him, So I'm trying

173
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: my best to be objective. Give the guy a fair shot,

174
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: Give the guy a fair shot. But what I won't

175
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: accept is people calling him a top ten or putting

176
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: him amongst the elites. When the tape doesn't say that, Like,

177
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: that's not his fault. He's not telling them where to

178
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: place him. But the tape doesn't say that. And the

179
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: amount of money they paid him, the tape doesn't, it doesn't.

180
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't support him getting paid that amount of money.

181
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: And let's go through a couple of things, because I

182
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: want to talk about this Jacksonville team. Their defense is

183
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: not playing well right now. Let's let's get that straight.

184
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: They've played really well in years past. I mean in

185
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: the years past, they've had i mean been amongst the

186
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: league leader leaders and takeaways, and that's what's allowed them

187
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: to have success. When they have runs and they have

188
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: great success, it's because their defense is creating turnovers and

189
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence and the offense is capitalizing. When the defense

190
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: does not create a turnover. For Trevor Lawrence in this offense,

191
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: he's one and twenty one one in twenty one Mitchell.

192
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: So this defense knows if they do not create a turnover,

193
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: they're not winning the game. And they have no takeaways

194
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: this sease. They're the only defense without no takeaways. That's

195
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: gonna be tough. That It like if you're when you're

196
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: fifty five million quarterback. That can't be the case. Like

197
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 2: when you talk about game manager and system quarterback and

198
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: putting all these labels and parameters on guys, but when

199
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: guys have generational talent, you don't judge him the same.

200
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: You say he should be doing this, he should what

201
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: is he actually doing? And in this case, Trevor Lawrence

202
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: is not getting it done. And you heard some things

203
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: from from Doug Peterson. You know everything is on the

204
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 2: table as far as you know, maybe making changes because

205
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: something got to change. But I don't think anything's gonna change.

206
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: I don't think anything is. I mean, the Jags are

207
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: thirtieth in points per game, they're thirtieth and third down offense.

208
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: And every time you people find excuses to give Trevor Lawrence,

209
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 2: oh it with somebody else's fault. What about the false

210
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: start here? What about the I don't when you're talking

211
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 2: about a fifty five million dollar quarterback. That's why he

212
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: doesn't get the benefit of doubt. You don't. At fifty

213
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: five million, benefit of the doubt is gone. We're putting

214
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: it on you. Wins and losses are on your back.

215
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 2: Good batter are different. That's what they're paying you for.

216
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: They're paying you a lot of money. They're not paying

217
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: anybody else that kind of money, top positional money. They're

218
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: not paying anybody else that kind of money. So, yes,

219
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: it's unfair responsibility, but that's what you're getting paid your paycheck,

220
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: says hey, responsibility. And so when I had to look

221
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: at Trevor Lawins, and then I look at guys like

222
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew and what he was able to do in Jacksonville,

223
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: and I know Jacksonville, and do vallfans know that's very

224
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: well he did? Alright? You look at what Jamis has

225
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: done in his career. Jamis has done. Alright, if you

226
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: really go down, let me give you some stats, Mitchell,

227
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: you got a second I do fire away. I'm gonna

228
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: give you Gardner Minshew's stats, his wins, his losses, his stats.

229
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew's record is sixteen and twenty four. That's a

230
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: forty percent winning percentage, forty percent completed, sixty three percent

231
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: of his passes, sixty two touchdowns, twenty seven in exceptions,

232
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: a ninety point three quarterback rating, eighteen fumbles loss. Okay, okay,

233
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: so what is that? Forty five turnovers give or take? Okay,

234
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: forty five turnovers I look at I'm I'm gonna look

235
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: at Jamis Winston. Thirty four and forty six, record forty

236
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: two percent winning percentage, sixty one percent completion percentage, one

237
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: hundred and forty one touchdowns, ninety nine interceptions, eighty seven

238
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: uh passer rating, twenty four fumbles loss, So a lot

239
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: of turnovers for Jamis. Those two guys are our career

240
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 2: backups now, they're they're they're in and out. Sometimes they

241
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: start Gardner obviously, as they started for the Raiders right now,

242
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: but a lot of people don't look at him as

243
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: a starting caliber quarterback except the rate. You know, he's

244
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: doing really good. I think he's I think he's a

245
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: starting caliber quarterback. I think Trevor Lawrence, and we're gonna

246
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: go through Trevor Lawrence. Record twenty and thirty three, thirty

247
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: seven point seven winning percentage sixty three points two, completion percentage,

248
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: sixty touchdowns, forty interceptions, eighty four point five passer rating,

249
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: twenty one fumbles loss. Now people are gonna call me

250
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: crazy because because he has a different label, because he

251
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: was labeled a generational talent coming out, because he's handsome,

252
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: he has the long hair, he looks the part. He's

253
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: just a name brand Gardner Minshew. He's a Gardner Minshew

254
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: with a better with a better outlook, with a better packaging,

255
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: with better draft position. Like for what they're getting right

256
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: now out of Trevor Lawrence, they could have kept Gardner

257
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: Minshew and they would have got at least equal level play.

258
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: Like maybe you're not getting elite play, but you're not

259
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: getting it from him. And that's where I get frustrated

260
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: where people argue with me because it's just what the

261
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: tape says. Don't argue with me. Argue with the tape,

262
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: be mad at him because what he's putting on tape.

263
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: And you're gonna sit there and say, well, the defense

264
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: didn't do this, The defense didn't do that. Well, Trevor Lawrence,

265
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: it has to do. I mean, Gardner Mitchell got to

266
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: deal with some bad defenses. Sometimes, he got to deal

267
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: with some receivers dropping the pass and some false starts.

268
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: You don't make those excuses for him because certain people

269
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: you just say, well, I mean, he's a back cup,

270
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: what do you expect? But when it's your guy, you

271
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: sit there and say, hey, how can we figure out

272
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: how to qualify this? I don't see it right now,

273
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: Mitchell and I don't see fifty five million, And I

274
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: hate to beat the dead horse, but like, at some

275
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: point you got to see it. At some point you're

276
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: paying a guy fifty five million, you have to see something.

277
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: You have to be able to elevate your team. You

278
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: have to elevate the guys around you. And it's not

279
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: like he doesn't have a talented team. It's not like

280
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: he doesn't have a good tight end, pretty good receivers,

281
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: a good running back in ETN. He has a good

282
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: coach and Dug Peterson. Now people are ready to call

283
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson a bad coach. Dug Peterson won a Super

284
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: Bowl with Nick Foles, had Carson Wentz looking like an

285
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: MVP candidate for a good portion of the season that season.

286
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: But now since the quarterback isn't playing well, they're saying, well,

287
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson's the problem, Like how much are you going

288
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: to do that? Like you start to see when the

289
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: conversation is different, It's like, wait, so now the coach

290
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: is the problem. So then you replace the coach and

291
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: then you give him a few more years to figure

292
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: it out, and then you say the next coach is

293
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: the problem. No, Like, at some point you have to

294
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: see what he's projected to be and he's not showing it.

295
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: For me. You kind of hit the nail on the head.

296
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: I think the bar of whether you how you assess

297
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: a good quarterback is how they elevate the players around them.

298
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: And he's got playmakers around them. I mean, etn Christian Kirk.

299
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: You know they just went out and spent big money

300
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: on Gabe Davis, who was hardly involved in last night's game. Yeah,

301
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean Ingram's out and that was his safety in

302
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: that last year. But you just spent a first round

303
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: pick on Brian Thomas. Like the playmaker are there?

304
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: Right?

305
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: Who does Josh Allen have to throw to? Khalil Shakir,

306
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: the guy called in the offseason the great game last night,

307
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: Dalton Kinkaid, I mean finally showed up last night as well.

308
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: Kean Coleman. Their top pick of the draft, Hurtis Samuel,

309
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: I mean, Richard. These are relatively unknown names and you

310
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: got a guy playing across from you that is just

311
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: elevating all of these guys he's got. Fantasy owners were

312
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: loving life if you owned had any of the Bills

313
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: players on your team last night because they all went

314
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: off in that first half. Trevor Lawrence. On the other hand, Richard,

315
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have to watch a whole lot

316
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: of Jaguars football to realize this team is in a very,

317
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: very dark place when they're on prime time getting absolutely

318
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: shelled at half. I mean, come on now, and I'm

319
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: with you. Trevor Lawrence. The expectation with him. Two years ago,

320
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: Jaguars got hot. You know, they're one of the hottest

321
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. I think they had a six

322
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: game win streak. Think everyone got distracted by that win

323
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: streak and what they saw with Trevor Lawrence in those

324
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: games over the last two years. Richard, you just really

325
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, and you haven't seen it in clutch

326
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: moments for sure. Last night was super eye opening. And

327
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: what you're bringing up with Jamis Winston and Gardner Minshew,

328
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: the question I have for you is what's going to

329
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: change this because obviously the talent is there with Trevor Lawrence,

330
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have been a first overall pick. He wouldn't

331
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: have led Clemson too a title game if the talent

332
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: wasn't there. The talent is there, but what gives what's

333
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: got to change for him to you know, turn his

334
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: career around at this point.

335
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: Well, Mitchell, it has to be he has to be consistent.

336
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: You know. If you're saying it's to play Calldon, then

337
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: you got to find something that works for him. Like,

338
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: I don't think people are like, well, if you put

339
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: him in a situation, mahomes is in, you put him in.

340
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: I don't think if you put him in a situation,

341
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: mahomes is in. If you put him in Josh Allen,

342
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: if you swap quarterbacks for Jacksonville and you swap you

343
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: put Josh Allen in Jacksonville and you put him with

344
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, I don't think the Buffalo Bills are

345
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: the same team. I don't think they're winning all these games.

346
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: I don't think they're as dominant. I think Jacksonville Jaguars

347
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: would be a better team. And so that goes to

348
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: show you. But they're both fifty five to fifty plus

349
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: million dollar quarterbacks and things aren't created equal. That's why

350
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: I say this, This cap system is broke. You guys

351
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 2: are letting these quarterbacks hold your hostage. You got guys

352
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: like like gen L Smith playing incredible football, trying to

353
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: get the Seahawks to pay him what he deserves, and

354
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: he's not getting it. You got Sam Darnold probably gonna

355
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: be looking for some decent money come soon because he's

356
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: playing like an MVP caliber quarterback right now. But he's

357
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: making what seven million dollars or so, and you got

358
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: fifty five million dollars getting to skate by. And I

359
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: think I don't even know if he has four hundred

360
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: yards on the season. He might have, might have a

361
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: low under five hundred. It's been three games and they're

362
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 2: owing three and nobody's really they're still sitting there saying like, oh,

363
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: it's everybody else. No, he's part of the problem at

364
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: this point because even if you say the defense is terrible,

365
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: they gave up forty seven points unacceptable. Okay, it's not

366
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: like they got beat thirty seven to forty seven. It's

367
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: not like they got beat thirty to forty seven. They

368
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: got beat forty seven to ten. And the starting quarterback

369
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: was on the sideline and Mac Jones was in the game.

370
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: Tyna figure it out. That's how bad the game is.

371
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 2: You pull a quarterback in the game, you have to

372
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: start to see that. The Buffalo Bills look really good.

373
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: The Buffalo Bills are a good team, and that's where

374
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna leave it at that with

375
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: this game because I'm I'm I'm very frustrated. Like the

376
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: quarterback ranking is in a way we look at him

377
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 2: have to be year to year. You can't be sitting

378
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: here draft position or what they did a few years ago.

379
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: What are they doing right now in the first three

380
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: weeks of the season. What have they done? It shouldn't

381
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: be like, hey, I know he's not playing good the

382
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: first three weeks, but I know he's still top five

383
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: because he did something two years ago.

384
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: No, No, Well, speaking of another quarterback and team with

385
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on them, let's go to the

386
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: other games. Cincinnati, they're owing three Richard. I don't think

387
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: anyone really saw this coming. A lot of folks thought

388
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: Cincinnati was gonna be in that conversation coming out of

389
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: the AFC this year with a healthy Joe Burrow. You

390
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: know they get t Higgins back. Jamar Chase had a

391
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: good game last night. But what is the panic meter

392
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati right now? There's no Only one team has

393
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: made the playoffs since two thousand after starting hing three

394
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: and that was twenty eighteen Texans. What gives with Cincinnati?

395
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: Did they have any hope of turning this season around

396
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: after this porous start.

397
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: I mean, it's how they've always started, Metchell, They've always

398
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: started bad, but it just feels different this time. There's

399
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: so much discord and distrust. This was Jamar Chase's best

400
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: game of the season, and it's no surprise that it's

401
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 2: when T. Higgins returns to the lineup. I've heard I've

402
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: heard people saying that T Higgins is such a factor

403
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 2: that people are prepare for that it helps Jamal R.

404
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: Chase get open and it helps him benefit. And that's

405
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: what good receivers do. I'm sure AJ Brown helps DeVante Adams.

406
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams, I mean Davonte Smith helps AJ Brown, I

407
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: mean vice versa. Two. Good receivers are tough to deal with.

408
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: But you just gotta start to think like this, Lou

409
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: Lou on a Ramo on a Rumo defense is gonna

410
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 2: have to play better. They've played better down the stretch

411
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: when they've had success. It's because the defense has really

412
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: locked up, the secondary has locked up. They put pressure

413
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 2: on a quarterback with with with good pass rush rushing

414
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: four it's just not looking at saying the secondary has

415
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 2: been tighter than it is to give up thirty eight points.

416
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: It's tough to win that ball game, you know, and

417
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: you could. You know. I came in here one see

418
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 2: if I'm going to criticize Joe Burrow, you can't. Joe

419
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: Burrow played really well. Joe Burrow played really well. He

420
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 2: threw the ball well. He threw for three hundred yards.

421
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 2: He threw for three twenty four three touchdowns, no interceptions.

422
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: They moved the ball. Jamar Chay six catches, one to eighteen,

423
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: two touchdowns. Te Higgins is his first game back. He

424
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: had three catches for thirty nine yards, but they distributed

425
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 2: the ball. I think they were fine offensively, but defensively

426
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: they got to find a way to be able to

427
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: stop a rookie quarterback. Now. Jayden Daniels had a heck

428
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: of a day Mitchell. He was a reason that they

429
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: lost his game. He played out of his mind for

430
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: him to have a ninety one percent completion percentage and

431
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 2: really be taking shots. He took a few shots to

432
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin and one of the few passes that he missed.

433
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 2: Guys were on the internet freaking criticizing him, like, how

434
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: does he miss this? Nobody was within twenty meters, I

435
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 2: mean twenty yards of him, YadA, YadA, YadA, But he

436
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: had a man freaking bearing down on him, Like you've

437
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: never been in that position. You've never been in a

438
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: position to be staring down looking at an open receiver

439
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: and then see another human being about to do you

440
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 2: harm and then say, oh, you got to be accurate.

441
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 2: He stood in there when he had to, when the

442
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: game was on the line it was zero coverage, stood

443
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: in there and delivered a don to Terry McLaurin to

444
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 2: win that game. So give the rookie a little credit. Again,

445
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: Let's keep the standard of criticism and analysis the same

446
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: for everybody. If you're going to be this critical about

447
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: this kid and say, oh, he missed them when he

448
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: had somebody about the you know, destroy him, then be

449
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: that way with every rookie quarterback. Because he looks like

450
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the draft. This game. You know,

451
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 2: it's week to week. Caleb Williams didn't look great. You know,

452
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 2: he looked decent at times at the end of the game.

453
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: But someone say that's garbage time. But right now, Jaydon

454
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: Daniels with his legs, with his arm, looks the part.

455
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: I mean, he set the record for completion percentage for

456
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: a rookie. And it wasn't like he threw it ten times.

457
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 2: They threw it what three times? That defense looks solid.

458
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 2: I was happy for dan Quinn. But yeah, well I

459
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: can't say solid because they gave up thirty three points

460
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: and they gave up too many one on ones to

461
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase, Like this is this is one of the

462
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: best receivers in football. You know, it's between him justin Jefferson.

463
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: It's a few guys in that conversation. But you don't

464
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 2: leave him one on one unless you got a guy.

465
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: And unfortunately, Washington doesn't have an elite, elite you know,

466
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: wreck worldwide name that's recognized as an elite corner to

467
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: be saying, hey, we're just gonna leave him one on

468
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: one with Jamar Chase and and we'll live with that. No,

469
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: you don't, you don't do that. When you do, he

470
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: has two touchdowns in a hundred yards and that's what

471
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 2: it looked like. But I don't know. I think the

472
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: Pantic meter is like a eight for me. I know,

473
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: I know that Cincinnati Bengals fans in the jungle feel

474
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: confident their team has always recovered from these slow starts,

475
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: but this one just doesn't feel that way. It doesn't

476
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: feel like it's not like Joe's banged up. Are you're

477
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: looking at injuries or he's coming back and finding his rhythm.

478
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 2: And you know, he was coming off the calf injury

479
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: one year and things like that, he didn't get a

480
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: lot of training camp time. Those things aren't the those

481
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: aren't factors this year. It just doesn't look the same.

482
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: And while they're not getting better, you got Pittsburgh kind

483
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: of running away with the division. They're going to Indianapolis.

484
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: They could start the season four and oh, and you

485
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: were one and three. They're so far behind. And that's

486
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: not even to mention Baltimore. Baltimore, thank goodness. If you're

487
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati, They've they've had a slow start. So, I mean,

488
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: it's only been one team to start on three and

489
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, and that was the Texans in twenty eighteen.

490
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: We'll see if they can be the second.

491
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: Well, in terms of the Washington Commanders, they got to

492
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: be super fired up with what they're seeing with Jaden Daniels.

493
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: I mean, This guy's got the it factor. Richard. You

494
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: go on the road in a hostile environment and in

495
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: prime time one to night football and you escape with

496
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: a win and have some dazzling throws. I mean, he's

497
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: getting playmakers involved. I mean, this Washington Commander team could

498
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: be one of those sneaky teams. And we talked about

499
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: it in our season preview. Look out for Washington because

500
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: if Jayden Daniels can be this year, CJ. Stroud, they

501
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: got enough talent around him. You know, this NFC South

502
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: is up for grabs and they're right in the mix

503
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: with it. Washington's a dark horse, Richard. Speaking of panic meters,

504
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: we got to go back to San Francisco, and I

505
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: know you gotta be a little little nerved here. CMC

506
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: is facing a significant injury. George Kittle out now we're

507
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: seeing you know, debo. Now, we got news that Javon

508
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: Hargrave is out for the season with the torn TRICEP

509
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: and Brock Perdy is day to day with back soreness. Richard,

510
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: where's your head at with San Francisco. What's the level

511
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: of panic now?

512
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: It's starting to get up there, Metro, it's probably a

513
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 2: seven and a half eight just because and this is

514
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: what I'll say. I'll preface it with this, it's tough

515
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, and it's tough to consistently

516
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: go latent to the playoffs in the National Football League.

517
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: I don't think people understand the fatigue that puts on

518
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: your body. And I know people will bring up the

519
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs and what they've been able to do,

520
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 2: but they've been able to do it, and then a

521
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: lot of times they refresh a lot of that roster.

522
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they have their standard pieces of Patrick Mahomes,

523
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey, Justin Reid has been on the team a

524
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: couple of years, but a lot of these pieces changed.

525
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: George car Loftis has got him a couple, Chris Jones

526
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: is obviously a foundational piece. But if you look at

527
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: the tackles, if you look at the tackles, the tackles

528
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: have been different for a lot of their Super Bowl runs.

529
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: You look at it, it'd be two different tackles for

530
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: one Super Bowl, different tackles for the next Super Bowl,

531
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: different tackles for the next Super Bowl. And if you

532
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: look at their defense, their secondary, they find corners. They're

533
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: doing great job of drafting and developing players, and that

534
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: goes to Lagerius Snead and his development. Tarveri's ward was

535
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: a big factor in their first Super Bowl wins in

536
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: San Francisco, in Miami. I mean, and then you took

537
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: look at McDuffie. You look at them acquiring Tyron Matthew

538
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: and the impact he had, and then he leaves and

539
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: they bring Justin Reid in. He has impact, and they

540
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: just keep finding a way. But in San Francisco they've

541
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: been doing it with the same cast of guys, and

542
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: it's just I think the emotional physical toll of extra

543
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 2: games every single year. It's just starting the way it's

544
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: starting Newton way heavy, expectations way heavy. And it matters.

545
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 2: It affects your health when you're sitting there every time

546
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: and you win games and it feels like you're lost.

547
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, even winning games isn't good enough. Now

548
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: you win the game, you didn't win it good enough. Hey,

549
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: you go to the Super Bowl, you didn't win it,

550
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: So you guys didn't do good enough. You get to

551
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship after a disappointing season where you where

552
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: you make some huge plays and make a run late

553
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 2: and then you fall short in the NFC Championship and

554
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: people act like you didn't even make the playoffs, and

555
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: so it's just hard, you know, and so the panic

556
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: meters up there. It's gonna take a great job of

557
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 2: coaching from Nick Sorenson. Defensively, it's gonna take Kyle Shanahan's

558
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: best coaching job to really keep this on track. And

559
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: he's done things like this before. We had injuries like

560
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: this in twenty nineteen. We lost Joe Staley, we lost

561
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: Mike McGlinchey, we lost h kwon Alexander, we lost D four.

562
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: We lost so many. I mean we lost I was

563
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: out for a game in twenty nineteen. We lost a

564
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: lot of guys, and he just kept finding ways got

565
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: other guys step stepping up. Next man mentality. We kept

566
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: losing running backs and then you would see Breeder run well,

567
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: you would see Tevin Coleman run. Then you'd see Raheem

568
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: Moster running the football, and other guys just kept stepping up.

569
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: It didn't matter what happened. Guys knew the assignment, and

570
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: so I'm expecting the same response from this team. It's

571
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: great leadership. Guys are tough, they're gonna play through these

572
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: injuries if they can. Trent Williams is still working himself

573
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: into shape. I guarantee you that not a harder working

574
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: human being on the planet. It's just different playing football.

575
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: He's fighting as far as he can. I'm sure he's

576
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: getting better. He'll be better at this game than he

577
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: was last game. The same with Brandon Ayuk. It was

578
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: a great confidence building game for Juwan Jennings and brock Party.

579
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: Hopefully the brock Party injury isn't too serious because that

580
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: could have a really detrimental impact on this team's performance.

581
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: But Bolsa came in with a rib injury. He fought

582
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: through it. You know, he's out there toughing it through.

583
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: But it just gives somebody else an opportunity. And I

584
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: hope Javon is able to heal up and come back.

585
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 2: But it's it's tough, you know. The concern level with

586
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey is going up as he goes to see

587
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: more specialists and trying to figure out a way to

588
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: overcome this. But Jordan Mason's playing good in the interim.

589
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: George Kittle expected back. Hopefully tar Various Award is feeling healthier,

590
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: talanoa Hufunger will have another week under his belt. Green Law,

591
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: they say is expected back mid season. I really think, quietly, quietly,

592
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: that's that's the factor this defense is missing, the amount

593
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: of intensity, speed and attitude and just impact that Drake

594
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: Greenlaw brings to the field. He's a menace. He's a

595
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: menace out there, and and Fred Warner is that same way.

596
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: But with both of them, it's it's chaos, you know,

597
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: it's really you know, guys looking around, you know, guys

598
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: head on the swivel because you don't know which one

599
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: is gonna come body slam you. And so without him

600
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: on the field, I think they're missing something. Though I

601
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: know DeAndre camp I mean, uh, Campbell's trying to do

602
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: a good job. They kind of attack him late for

603
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: a touchdown with Kyron Williams, But you just need more

604
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 2: from him, and it's it's unfair to ask that of him.

605
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: Drake Drake green Law is an all Pro caliber player and

606
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: has played that way. And when you when you're without that,

607
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: it's evident.

608
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: Well, you talked about the cast of characters, and they're

609
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: starting to have to pay these casts of characters, and

610
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: in doing so, we talked about it already. You gotta

611
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: you got a cut bait with some of these guys.

612
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: And one of the guys I guarantee the faithful wants

613
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: back is Eric Armstead. You know. I mean that's a

614
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: guy who was a cap casualty for this team, let's

615
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: face it, and I know he's one of your good friends.

616
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: This is a guy that they need in the trenches

617
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: right now more than ever, and unfortunately he's playing in Jacksonville. Richards,

618
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: it's time for our Thursday Night Football TNF preview, presented

619
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: by a Prime Video. You're going to be heading back

620
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: to New York City. I know you're fired up for

621
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: that six hour cross country flight that you're about to

622
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: embark on. The Cowboys are taking on the New York

623
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: Football giants, who finally got in the win column looked

624
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: a lot better this past week. Prayers up for the Browns.

625
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck's going on with them,

626
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: But Richard, what's your thoughts here? Vegas says this line

627
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: is a four and a half point favorite in favor

628
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys. What's your thoughts going into Thursday Night?

629
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: Well, if history is any indicator, Deak has yet to

630
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: lose to the Giants in the last twelve meetings. The

631
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: last twelve outings, he's been completing sixty seven percent of

632
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: his passes for two hundred and seventy five yards, twenty

633
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: six touchdowns and only six interceptions. They're gonna have to

634
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: find a way to slow him down. And right now

635
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: Dallas needs a confidence boost, and I'm sure they're gonna be,

636
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: you know, chopping at the bit to really be explosive offensively.

637
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: You saw a little frustration between Cedee Lamb and Dak

638
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: Prescott last week, and I'm sure they're ready to get

639
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: that bad taste out of their mouth to home losses.

640
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: This is the perfect remedy for those ailments that they

641
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: have run the ball. They haven't been great against the run,

642
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: they haven't been great stopping the run. They haven't been

643
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 2: great running the ball. And now this, this d line

644
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: for the New York Jets is not to be tried.

645
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: One of the best defensive lines. You can talk about

646
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 2: a lot of other things, this is one of the

647
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 2: best defensive lines in football. With Brian Burns, Dexter, Lawrence Thibodeau.

648
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 2: They they're gonna make it really hard for this Dallas

649
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: office line and without Tyron Smith, it's just looked different.

650
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: You know, he brought a level of confidence stability to

651
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 2: this offense. They had always been like you looked at

652
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: Dallas's offensive line for the last decade or so a

653
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: little bit more, and you've always just felt like they're

654
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 2: one of the best old lines in football. You know

655
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: the names, you know, the Hall of famers, and now

656
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 2: they don't have them, and it just feels more leaky.

657
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: And so this defensive line is the only reason I

658
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: believe in Molik Neighbors. Elik Neighbors really put the team

659
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: on his back offensively last week, and it was really

660
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: cool to say he took accountability for dropping that pass

661
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 2: the week before, felt like he let his teammates down,

662
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: let his team down, and responded in a big way.

663
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: And you love to see that from one of your

664
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: young leaders and a guy who's probably going to be

665
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: the face of this franchise going forward. Just being accountable

666
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: and then responding in the right way. You know, that's

667
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: really inspiring to your teammates doing things the right way,

668
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: and kudos to him being able to do that. It's

669
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: gonna be a really tough game. It's gonna be a

670
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 2: really tough game. It's gonna be a challenge for Trayvon

671
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: Diggs to keep him in. But hopefully this is gonna

672
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: be a remedy for Dallas's pass rush because they haven't

673
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: been what they have been in the past. Like I

674
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: no hit, I mean one hit on the quarterback. I

675
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: didn't see a lot of sacks last week. It's just

676
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: they just haven't been getting home like they have in

677
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: the past. I mean, they had been chaotic. Michael Parsons

678
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: has one sack on the season right now, and at

679
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 2: this point, you know what I mean, you're expecting used

680
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: to him having you know, two three sacks. You know,

681
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: sometimes he has a zero sack game, then a two

682
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: sack game. Maybe this is going to be his coming

683
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: out party. But they're gonna need it.

684
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: They definitely are. Cowboys need to get right, and this

685
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for the Giants to prove themselves too.

686
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: They spent a lot of their time, as you discussed,

687
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: building in the trenches in the offseason. That was a

688
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: point of emphasis, specifically on the d line. So this

689
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: should be an interesting game.

690
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: I too.

691
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: I like the Cowboys personally, but this is this week's

692
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: TNF preview presented by Prime Video. Make sure you guys

693
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: watch the Cowboys take on the Giants on Thursday. It

694
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: starts at PM Eastern with your guy, Richard Sherman sitting

695
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: across from me.

696
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 2: Here.

697
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: You get everybody, you get, Carissa Fits with Tony, you know,

698
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: Kaylee Hartong, I mean, al Michaels, Kirk Kurbstreet. There's no

699
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: better broadcast in sports right now than TNF on Prime Video.

700
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: Make sure you guys tune in this Thursday. And Richard,

701
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: we got to bring it back for week two of

702
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: our segment Buy or Sell. I'm gonna throw a couple

703
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: of topics at you. You tell me whether you're gonna

704
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: buy them or sell them. We're gonna start with a

705
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: journalistic hot take of the week that just got absolutely bashed.

706
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure everyone I know which way you're

707
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna lean here being a defensive guy. But mel Kiper

708
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: came out with the hot take of the weeks and

709
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: the NFL should ban the cover two. Richard, you buying

710
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: or selling this hot take?

711
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: I'm selling every bit of it, and I'm selling it

712
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 2: and and I mean I'm selling that mel Kuiper should

713
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: give these kind of takes. You just stick to the

714
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: draft at this point, because if you're saying stuff like that,

715
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 2: then maybe you know, maybe creating rules and adjustments isn't

716
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: for you. That's a ridiculous take. The defense is already

717
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: handicapped by so many rules, I mean, illegal contact, past interference, holding.

718
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: You can't corners can't chop three hundred and fifty pound

719
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 2: linemen anymore. They're like, why is this corner just getting

720
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 2: pushed over? Well, because the corners one hundred and eighty

721
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: pounds and the guy that's pushing them is three hundred

722
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: and forty five. Physics is something that we all learn

723
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: in school, and if you didn't, well, you're getting an

724
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 2: example on Sundays when you see corners and offensive linemen interact.

725
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 2: It's not gonna go well for the corner. If they

726
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: can't create a power, they can't keep it inside or

727
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: anything like that. So sell that mail just enough.

728
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: Stick to the draft.

729
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 2: Stick to the draft, yeah, and I mean you call

730
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: you stick to the draft.

731
00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: Speaking of the draft, Richard by yourself, we could rewind

732
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: time a bit back to April Jade and Daniels should

733
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: have been the number one overall pick.

734
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh, but Mitchell sometimes and I've said this before,

735
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: sometimes the benefit and the blessing is in not going

736
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: number one. It will see J. Stroud the year before

737
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: where you're like, man, c J. Stroud should have went one.

738
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure CJ. Stroud is sitting right now in Houston

739
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: like very happy to go to This is probably the

740
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: only time in my life that second it's just where

741
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: I want it to be. And this is the same

742
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: situation with Jaden Daniels. He's walked into a situation where

743
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 2: there's a different level of stability, a head coach, a

744
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: different system, a different city, different coordinator, et cetera, et cetera,

745
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: And sometimes the right situation for you might not have

746
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: been Chicago. Maybe he goes to Chicago and his season

747
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 2: starts differently and his maturity and his development isn't the same.

748
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: We talked about should first year quarterbacks be starting. He

749
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: just showed us that it is possible. You know. C J.

750
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: Stroud showed us last year it is possible to be

751
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: efficient and developed with time on the job. And for

752
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: him to have the highest completion percentage as a rookie

753
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 2: in NFL history his third game into his career is incredible.

754
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,479
Speaker 2: So I'm buying that mental it's hard not to buy

755
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: that right now, and I'm trying to find. I'm trying

756
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 2: to find because the Cincinnati Bengals played the Kansas City

757
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 2: Chiefs last week and so we got to see them

758
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: against Patrick Mahomes in this defense against Patrick Mahons and

759
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 2: and you know, I mean it was they held them

760
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: in the twenty six points and that's pretty good for

761
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahoon's coached offense. They got weapons, they their defense

762
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,959
Speaker 2: is really good. And then for him to score more

763
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: points than Patrick Mahoons is really something that you need

764
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 2: to keep eye on. You know, these are two defenses,

765
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: same defenses. He scored thirty eight, Patrick scored twenty six.

766
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: I'm not obviously not saying he's anywhere in the stratosphere

767
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 2: of Patrick Mahomes, but it's just more gives more credence

768
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: that this is a defense that has played, you know,

769
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 2: and some guys that have played at a high level

770
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: at times. And he really had his way with him

771
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: when he got pressure. It sometimes complex looks, sometimes the

772
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: guise looks that other quarterback struggle with He was able

773
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: to diagnose it, get the ball where it's supposed to be,

774
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 2: only miss two throws and even those two throws got criticized.

775
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: So I'm buying it.

776
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: Love it, Richel. Let's go to the NFC North. As

777
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: much as it pains me to ask this question, I

778
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: gotta ask it the Minnesota Vikings. I don't like you

779
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: right now, Rich the Minnesota Vikings will win the North.

780
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: Your thoughts by yourself. I please sell this, please, for

781
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: the love of God.

782
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 2: Mitchell, I wanted to sell it. I want to sell it,

783
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: but Mitchell, I can't. I can't not right now. The

784
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: stock is too hot. The Minnesota Vikings. If you really

785
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: look at and we're gonna we're gonna look at this

786
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 2: in a microcosm and a vacuum because I'm gonna go

787
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 2: down a tangent here. But if you look at Brian

788
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: Floores his time in Miami, they went on some winning streaks, Mitchell,

789
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: where they played really good defense and he was forced

790
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: to play to a tongue of Availoa. And I know

791
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 2: we heard all Toua's comments about Flores and all this,

792
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: but I remember that season where where Ryan Fitzpatrick was

793
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: having a really good year. He went to San Francisco

794
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: and I think he might have thrown for four hundred.

795
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 2: It was a really crazy game, and he just was

796
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 2: having a really good season and then out of nowhere,

797
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 2: they decided to sit him and say they're playing Tua,

798
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: and Tua's struggled initially, you know, everybody's saying it's the offense,

799
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 2: and it's this, and it's that, and I'm like, it's

800
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 2: just threw for four hundred with these same guys, So

801
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: how is it the offense? And TUIs can't throw four

802
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 2: hundred yards? And obviously TOAs developed into you know, found

803
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: a perfect place with Mike McDaniels, got paid, you know,

804
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 2: playing really good football. But Brian Flores's defense has played

805
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: historically well and given a lot of quarterbacks problems and

806
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 2: they won I think before he got fired from Miami,

807
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 2: I think they won seven straight to finish the season.

808
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 2: And so it works so to match that defense with

809
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell's offense. And during Kevin O'Connell's tenure, they've been

810
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 2: a winning team. And Kirk Cousins got hurt at the

811
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 2: Achilles injury, so that knocked him off track. But they

812
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: were even winning games with Dobbs because the system that

813
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: he he does a great job as a play caller,

814
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 2: as a schemer as a as a coach that understands situations,

815
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 2: understands the defense. And then you got Justin Jefferson, arguably

816
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 2: the best receiver in the National Football League. And then

817
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 2: you insert Sam Darnold, who just seems like a hand

818
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 2: and glove fit for this offense. It's just matches made

819
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 2: in heaven. Symbiosis all around within this organization. You talk

820
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,919
Speaker 2: about the home field advantage in Minnesota, in that dome

821
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 2: and the fans, you know, the skull chance Aaron Jones

822
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: and his impact. I'm sure he's looking forward to another,

823
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 2: you know, another good revenge game, old fashioned revenge game

824
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: against the Green Bay Packers. But they're looking like a

825
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 2: really complete team and it's hard to find weaknesses to

826
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: this team, especially when you got guys like the Ginkler.

827
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 2: You know the Ginkler, you know he leaves, he's coming

828
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 2: in making an impact. Grenard has four sacks. You're getting

829
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 2: contributions all over the place, so it's not even like

830
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: you can key on one guy and say, hey, we

831
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: got to stop this guy. We got to stop this guy.

832
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: The pressure is coming from everywhere, and you lost guys

833
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: like Danil Hunter and that left holes that you're like, hey,

834
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: how are they going to fill that hole? And it's

835
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 2: schematically they're doing it by committee, They're doing it by

836
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 2: it's a team effort. Every body's eating, everybody's getting home,

837
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 2: and I gotta buy them. They're true contenders of contenders

838
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 2: for the NFC North, but contenders in these playoffs and

839
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 2: contenders for the one or two seed, especially in this

840
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 2: NFC NFC that looks wide, wide.

841
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: Open, Richard, I'm gonna sell your decision to buy that one.

842
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: You know, I don't. I don't mean to, right, But

843
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: the reason is is I think the Detroit Lions are

844
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 1: just getting going, and I think they're going to show

845
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: you that on Monday Night football. I think you're gonna

846
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: be probably throwing that hat around that you're wearing quite

847
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: a bit because you're going to be in disgust when

848
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: when the Lions go and take a double digit win

849
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: one day night in prime time. But I will say

850
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: this about the Vikings. I do like the roster a lot.

851
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: They're playing without Jordan Addison, without TJ. Hockinson. Seemingly everyone

852
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 1: wrote them off this offseason. No one, no one thought

853
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: the Vikings would even be remotely in contention for the

854
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: North let alone borderline Super Bowl contenders at this point

855
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: what they look like. And the Viking's got a hell

856
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on that roster, so I'm definitely nervous.

857
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: I'm buying the fact that I am nervous as hell

858
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: about the Minnesota Vikings going forward. Richard, next subject matter

859
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: buying or selling the Dallas Cowboys. They're done, They're missing

860
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

861
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sell that just for the simple fact they're

862
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 2: too talented of a team. And the aftermath of them

863
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 2: not making the playoffs this year, and the chaos and

864
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 2: the noise that is gonna surround that team. I don't

865
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 2: even want to I don't even want to imagine after

866
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones says they're going all in this season and

867
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: then makes proceeds to make no real free agency splashes.

868
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: You let Tyron Smith walk, you let Pollard walk, You

869
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: don't really make any You let Gilmour walk. And now

870
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: the defense is looking a lot shakier. You don't really

871
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: have an interior defensive lineman that that's really that impactful.

872
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 2: People are running the ball at will against this defense.

873
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: You get Zimmer. You make that decision people instead of

874
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 2: promoting from within and keeping continuity, you know, promoting Al

875
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 2: Harris into the defensive coordinator role. But I just don't

876
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 2: think I think they're too talented at Cedee, Lamb Dak Prescott.

877
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 2: They're too good of a team. Micah Parsons. They're gonna

878
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 2: find a way to win enough games to at least

879
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,760
Speaker 2: get that seventh seed. If they don't.

880
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 1: Oh, we revisited this subject last week. Revisited it last week.

881
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna revisit it now. The Steelers will win the

882
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: AFC North by or Sell.

883
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 2: I might have to buy that. I might have to

884
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 2: buy that, Mitchell. Let me look at this schedule, because

885
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 2: it's if they continue to have these games that are

886
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 2: winnable games because their defense is playing at such a

887
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 2: very high level. I don't think it's being recognized or

888
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: talked about enough, but they're keeping them in these ballgames.

889
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: And Justin Field Waller, Justin Fields developed time under the job,

890
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: time on the job, finding ways to win, finding his rhythm,

891
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 2: the coordinator, finding ways to get him in his comfort zone,

892
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: finding the things that he does well. I think they're

893
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 2: gonna have a great opportunity to win because I mean,

894
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 2: you watch them beat the Broncos and you're like, oh, Okay,

895
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 2: the Broncos aren't very good. But then the Broncos win

896
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 2: a really good ballgame. Uh, and then you see them

897
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: play really good that bon Knicks has his best game

898
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 2: of the season. That's probably the guy they drafted and

899
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: the guy they've been seeing in training camp and the expectation.

900
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: But they have the coach. The Steelers have the coach.

901
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 2: This week, they they have the Cowboys coming into their stadium.

902
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 2: They have a home game against the Cowboys. Then they

903
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 2: have the Raiders, and then they have the Jets, then

904
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 2: they have the Giants. Mitchell, those are all winnable games,

905
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 2: the Jets, the Cowboys game is gonna be tough, The

906
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 2: Raiders game is just gonna be one of those dragout games.

907
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 2: The Jets game is gonna be competitive if what is

908
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 2: Aaron's gonna do? But the Giants game is a winnable game.

909
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 2: The Commanders then like, yes, I'm buying that. I'm buying

910
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 2: that they can win n AFC North because they where

911
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 2: they were last season. Gives them a chance to be

912
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: in position to play the teams that they're playing. And

913
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: the Browns are looking like they're having a down year.

914
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 2: Cincinnati doesn't look that great. They're on three to start

915
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: the year. We've talked about Baltimore losing to the to

916
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 2: the Raiders. They were able to pull it out this

917
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 2: week and beat the Cowboys pretty convincingly. But Mike Tomlin,

918
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is this is his masterpiece.

919
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: This is his sixteenth chapel, This is his u this

920
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 2: this is his master piece. Because they're three and oh,

921
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 2: and if they're four and oh, with with all the

922
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 2: conversations and the questions going into this season, he has

923
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: to be one of the front runners for Coach of

924
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: the Year along with Mike McDonald uh and the things

925
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: that he's doing in Seattle. Uh. You McDermott with his

926
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo team that have lost so many pieces. I mean,

927
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 2: there's a lot of good coaches that you can talk about,

928
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 2: but he has to be up.

929
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 1: There next on the list. The Titans, we don't talk

930
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: about the fights a whole lot, but we're gonna talk

931
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,720
Speaker 1: about him right now. They made a mistake in siding

932
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: with will Levis and letting Malik Willis walk.

933
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 2: No, I sell that because they just weren't. They weren't

934
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 2: the team that that was gonna develop them. Sometimes you're

935
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 2: just not built to develop guys, and maybe a new

936
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 2: coaching staff could have done better. But I'm thankful to

937
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 2: see Malik Willis going to a place that he could develop.

938
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 2: Lafloor said that was one of the most fun coaching

939
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 2: games that he's ever had, just drawing this up and

940
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 2: watching Malik go out there and execute, and trying to

941
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 2: draw up a plan that allows him to showcase his

942
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 2: talents and then watching it come to fruition and come

943
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 2: to life, and the way it did in Tennessee in

944
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 2: front of those fans, the team that drafted him, team

945
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 2: that gave up on him. He said he really appreciated

946
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: that and enjoyed that, and I'm sure Malik Willis enjoyed that.

947
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 2: So no, no, I think I think the Titans made

948
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: the best decision for the Titans and the best decision

949
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 2: for Melik Willis. It's working out both sides. Obviously, will

950
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 2: Levis has had his struggles. He's played solid, but he's

951
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 2: made some bone head mistakes. You know, who knows. He'll

952
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 2: figure it out eventually or they'll draft another quarterback. But

953
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 2: this is best for Malik Willis. Well.

954
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: It goes to show you too, the importance of coaching

955
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 1: because Matt Lafleur really did a number with Malik Willison

956
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: these last two starts. I think a lot of people

957
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: will expected the Green bit Packers to falter without Jordan

958
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: Love and here they are winning with Walt relative ease

959
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: these last couple of games. Kudos to Matt Lafloor in

960
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: that coaching staff. Onto the next. Aaron Rodgers is officially.

961
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 2: Back by or so bye bye, and by a lot

962
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: of it, he's back. He has that swagger when he

963
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: starts to give these with the little air getting little points,

964
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 2: and you know, start looking at guys, and you better

965
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 2: be careful because he comes from a different era than

966
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys. There's only a couple of

967
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 2: these dinosaurs left, and he's one of them. Tom's done.

968
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 2: It's only he's the last of a very dying breed,

969
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 2: an old school brand of quarterbacking, an intellect, a person

970
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 2: who understands these schemes. Mel Kiper doesn't have to you

971
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 2: don't have to band cover two. When Aaron Rodgers is

972
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 2: on the field, I guarantee you he has answers. He

973
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 2: sees it, he diagnoses it, he beats it consistently. So

974
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: he's a different kind of quarterback. So I'm buying that

975
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,240
Speaker 2: Mitchell He's back, and the New York Jets fans couldn't

976
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 2: be happier. Robert Sala couldn't be more excitic, and they're

977
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 2: gonna be an issue going forward.

978
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: And finally, after getting off to an extremely slow start

979
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: to the season, Travis Kelcey has eight receptions for sixty

980
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: nine yards throughout three games. This will be Travis Kelcey's

981
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: last season by or.

982
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 2: Sell sale sale sail when he decides. If he says it,

983
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 2: I'll believe it. But as long as Travis Kelsey wants

984
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 2: to play, he gets to play. His resume says that

985
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 2: his play his chemistry. We just talked to Trent McDuffie

986
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 2: about the outstanding chemistry, almost mind reading, almost telepathic connection

987
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: between Patrick Mahons and Travis kelce and as I'm sure

988
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 2: they're good friends and as his go to target, you're

989
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 2: gonna have to drag him out of that building before

990
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahons is okay with Travis Kelsey retiring. I don't

991
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 2: care what his stats are for the season. I don't

992
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 2: care if he had one catch. He's still a very

993
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 2: important piece and he's still the guy that Patrick mahoons

994
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 2: if everything fails and all his loss and things are

995
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 2: falling apart, he's going to go to in the playoffs

996
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 2: in the crucial moments and he's gonna be there and

997
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: he's gonna make those plays. So if he decides to

998
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 2: But no, I'm selling that.

999
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I think Travis Kelty's the Helse

1000
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: is the ultimate pros pro. I expect to rebound here

1001
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: after a troubling start to the season for him. I

1002
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: see him returning to his normal selfire relatively quick. Richard

1003
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 1: that concludes this this I guess mid season or mid

1004
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: week podcast. Richard sin Us off my friend, Well, I gotta.

1005
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 2: Sign you off, but I'm gonna before we sign off,

1006
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna give you my power rankings, Mitchell, because

1007
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 2: I've always and I'm not I'm not leaving without giving

1008
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 2: that Kansas City is first, Mitchell. And I know how

1009
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 2: you feel. You want your Detroit Lions up there, and

1010
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 2: you want me to just give them credit, and I

1011
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 2: want to give him credit, but it's hard to ignore

1012
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota Vikings Skull there are number two

1013
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 2: right now in my power rankings. And I'm and I

1014
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 2: think they deservedly. So I don't think there's a lot

1015
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 2: of teams that look at that tape and want to say,

1016
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 2: we want to play Minnesota, we want some of that. No,

1017
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 2: you don't. You know. It's like when you saw you

1018
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 2: saw somebody when you saw the movie Friday and Deepo

1019
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 2: beat him up and he said, you want some of that,

1020
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 2: old man. No, No, I don't you know one of

1021
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 2: those Minnesota vikings right now, Mitchell? And I know you

1022
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: want the Detroit Lions to want some and Detroit has

1023
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 2: some bully ball and their great culture. That's gonna be

1024
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 2: a dogfight. Now. I can't wait for that game.

1025
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: But then I got enough Lions stuff here, Richard. I

1026
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: figured I brainwashed you enough. I got my Brightling Lions

1027
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: watch on, I got my Lions hoodie, I got my

1028
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: Lions pennant. Whatever. Man, I'll let you put the Vike.

1029
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 2: I love, I love the Detroit Lions and that honl

1030
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 2: Lulu Blue Mitchell. But I just gotta say, what's another tape?

1031
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta call it straight. And then third,

1032
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 2: I want to go with Josh Allen probably the MVP

1033
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 2: front runner. If it's not Sam Donald, then it's Josh Allen,

1034
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 2: and if it's not those two, then Patrick mahoons is

1035
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 2: right there. But they're probably getting bored of giving Patrick

1036
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 2: mahon's MVP, so they want to give it to somebody

1037
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 2: else this year. But they're three on my list, deservedly,

1038
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 2: Sow and forth. I gotta go with the Seattle Seahawks.

1039
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 2: They're playing good football. This Mike McDonald coach defense. It's

1040
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 2: giving a lot of guys problems. Mitchell Troit Lions want

1041
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 2: to get back into power ratings power rankings. Beat the

1042
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks and you'll be back, you know. That's that's

1043
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 2: how you get back to the top of the mountain.

1044
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 2: You knock people off and you earn your spot. And

1045
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 2: I want to put Pittsburgh there because of their record

1046
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: and their defense. But I'm not quite ready for that yet.

1047
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 2: That's why I'm not quite ready to put the Pittsburgh

1048
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 2: Steelers in that spot and give them that kind of claim.

1049
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:30,399
Speaker 2: I'm not quite there yet. But that fifth spot, that's

1050
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 2: the tough spot for me. That's the tough spot because

1051
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 2: there's so many teams just playing so inconsistent. Philadelphia Eagles, like,

1052
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 2: what are they? They had a great game offensively, on paper,

1053
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 2: you see Jalen Hurts three hundred yards, all these things,

1054
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 2: but then it's only fifteen points. What happened in the

1055
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 2: red zone? And then you thought the Saints. We thought

1056
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 2: the Saints so much offensive production early on, and then

1057
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 2: it kind of disseminated in this game against against the

1058
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. So I don't know if I want to

1059
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: give them to that. It's the Green Bay Packers able

1060
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 2: to weather the storm, whether the Jordan Love injury. Right now,

1061
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 2: they're weathering this storm with Malik Willis is playing some

1062
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 2: really good football, impressive making himself some money, love to

1063
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,400
