1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam? It's me Jason McIntire, Straight Fire for

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Tuesday September. And we know that Vegas is still partying

4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: right now after that incredible victory last night by the

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders over the UH. I don't know Forlorn

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. Do you guys need to look that up

7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: in the dictionary. I mean, I don't know how you

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: can come away from this game feeling optimistic if you're

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: a Ravens fan. It's not quite the sky is falling.

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, they got the Chiefs up next, okay,

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: and they did not look good at all trying to

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: close out the Raiders. I know Rob G's excited. I'll

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: give him the floor in a little bit. I just

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: have to say, um, I had a bad feeling. I

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: woke up Monday morning and I was like feeling too

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: good about my Sunday and if gambling. I was like,

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: this can't get something. Why did I take the damn Ravens.

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: I just knew it was not gonna go well for them.

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: And even though they're up was seventeen ten with like

20
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 1: ten minutes to go in the game, I just knew,

21
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: like it just did not feel right for Baltimore. How

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: do you hold the Raiders to ten points through three

23
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: quarters then you let them explode for seventeen in the

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: last nine minutes. And I don't even know where to

25
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: start with overtime. I mean that that was just one

26
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: of the crazier NFL overtimes I've witnessed, maybe since the

27
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: tie game. Remember that Seattle Arizona tie on I think

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: it was a Thursday. There was like a slew of

29
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Misfield goals that might have ended six six um. But

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: this was just an absolutely bananas game. If you're the Raiders,

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: you have to feel good. I mean, you dominated the

32
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage absolutely all up in Lamar Jackson's grill

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: all night, sacked him three times. Basically, Uh, the kid

34
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: was the name Max Crosby looked like channeling Chandler Jones, right,

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones had five sacks on Sunday. Max Crossley was like, okay,

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: I'll pick up two sacks, two tackles for loss. And

37
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: he was basically just through Lamar Jackson around like a

38
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: rag doll. And then, of course, the good story in

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: overtime Karl Nassa, the first openly gay player to play

40
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Strips probably a bad choice of words there,

41
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: but basically strips Lamar Jackson of the football in overtime

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: after the Raiders thought they had a touchdown and through

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: the pick and then the Raiders get it back and

44
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: then the Gruten deb I mean, I don't I don't

45
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: want to go through play by play, but bottom line,

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: if you went to bed early on the East Coast

47
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: and you missed this, please please go back and watch

48
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: the highlights first thing this morning, because overtime was bananas.

49
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: The fourth quarter was crazy, and I don't want to

50
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: totally pin it on Gruden. I'm sorry, not Gruten hardball

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: for playing for the field goal to win. But when

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: you have the ball in a tie game, okay, I

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: know you have the best kicker maybe in the history

54
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: of the sport, you you can't play for the for

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: the tie with that much time left. Like they had

56
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: the ball, they're driving and then they just took the

57
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: foot off the gas. They're like, Okay, we got Tucker,

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: We're good. Hello. Uh. The Ravens had I believe thirty

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: five seconds left or forty two somewhere in there, car

60
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: makes bang bang plays and then Carlston droves fifty yard

61
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: and it's like, Carbo, what were you doing? These coaches

62
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: who sit and play for the field goals, I mean

63
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: in hardballs. Apparently one of the most aggressive coaches in

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: the league. He's got the guy from Yale on the

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: sideline who analyzes whether or not they should go for it.

66
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I just already took his foot off the gas costs

67
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: on the game and and folks, let's be real, uh

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was quite bad. He made a couple of

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: nice throws, but two costly fumbles one and fourth quarter

70
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: one in overtime. Uh an ugly ending. I robbed g

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I know you are excited for Derek Carr,

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: and we'll get the car who was pretty outstanding, and

73
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: Derek Darren Waller who had an outstanding game. Even Brian

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Edwards looked good. Um Hunter renfro who you you can't

75
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: not love that guy? Um. Henry Ruggs continues to disappoint

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. But from a fantasy perspective, I was

77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: I was down like thirties, the thirty point twenty seven

78
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: points whatever it was, and the kid Tyson Williams and

79
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: the Ravens, who I've been talking up on this pod

80
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: for weeks. Robb g got him in his in his

81
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: fantasy draft. The guy breaks off a long touchdown run.

82
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: He's catching passes. Me and my son are like giddy, like,

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: oh goodness, what a steal this guy is. Oh, it's awesome.

84
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: What happened to him? I did. I didn't see him

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: get hurt. I saw somebody say he got stripped to

86
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: the ball in the sideline, but he was like, I

87
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: already at a bounce. Uh. And they went to Latavius Murray,

88
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: who was just such a plotter. Latavius Murray's like running

89
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: with a piano on his back. He's so slow and

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: and at the disappointing disappointment all around. So I lose

91
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: in the four million dollar gambling contest. I went three

92
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: and two. Not good. We'll find out later today when

93
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: they host the updates. Listen, there's four thousand people. I'm

94
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: sure at least five people in five and oh so

95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: an uphill climb. But I already like a bunch of

96
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: games in week two. I just I just got to

97
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: control the emotions to to get locked in on games

98
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: this early. But the big picture takeaways, folks, Raven's offensive

99
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: line is not good. The guy villain Wuava, who they

100
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 1: picked up off the Steelers scrap heap. They're like, oh,

101
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: he knows the division, he's a veteran's guy's a pro.

102
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: He got annihilated. He was a turnstile. And if they

103
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: can't figure that out, Lamar Jackson with the turnovers. Um, folks,

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: they said, we're talking about a Raiders defense. It was

105
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: bottom I think ten in like every category last year.

106
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: You've got the Chiefs on deck, Ravens staring oh and

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: two in the face and listen, I know Lamar Jackson's

108
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: out here, like I ask him for a big contract.

109
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: They will be Detroit in week three. But after that

110
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: Denver Indies should be healthy Chargers the plucky Bengals. Folk.

111
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: This is I don't know. I'm not if. If you're

112
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: a Ravens fan, you have to come away like, hey,

113
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: how the hell do we lose this? B Oh my gosh,

114
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: the injuries are mounting. Uh. Jimmy Smith not there really

115
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: hurt them. Daryl Waller was just unstoppable. I don't know.

116
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: This is bad to worse if you're the Baltimore Ravens um,

117
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: the collapse, Lamar, and if you're the Raiders, you're feeling excited.

118
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: You're in a division where every team won Broncos, Chargers, chiefs. Uh.

119
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: We did see that in the NFC West as well

120
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: with the Niners, Cardinals, Rams, and Seahawks. But all of

121
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: a sudden, the a f C West looks extremely tough.

122
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: If the Raiders can keep this up, and I will

123
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: toss it to Rob g By just noting this, the

124
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: much maligned Derek Carr outplayed Lamar Jackson without quite I mean,

125
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: nobody could argue that thirty four fifty six, four hundred

126
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: and thirty five yards. And Derek Carr was under darress

127
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: early because after uh, I think after the first drive,

128
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Martindale just said we're just gonna blitz the ship out

129
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: of car. And they were coming at him from the

130
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: middle the side. I mean they were just deck in car.

131
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: They did sack him three times, and you know what,

132
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: dude just toughed it out. I mean, Derek Carr's one

133
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: tough s o B I'll say this, despite Gruden's best

134
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: efforts to blow that game in overtime, saying, you know what,

135
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: it's second down, let's kick. Oh wait, Damn, we don't

136
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: have a time out. Shoot, let's take the penalty pushing back. No,

137
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: let's get the offense back on the field. And I

138
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: don't know who made the call because the car was

139
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: changing a lot of calls to the line of scrimmage,

140
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: which you kind of love to see if you're not

141
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: a huge Gruden fan. And the play he dialed up

142
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: on the game winning touchdown pass was magnificent. Marlon Humphrey,

143
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: a great cornerback, had a rough stretch there and overtime

144
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: just basically gave up on the play. He knew he

145
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: was beat and uh Ravens walk off with the victory.

146
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: And I think Rob G's probably waking up this morning

147
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: in a drunken stupor celebrating the one or no start

148
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: bro any talks. I haven't gone to bed yet, are

149
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: you kidding me? I'm just fighting off of adrenaline at

150
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: this point, you know, nine plus hours after this game ended. Um, now,

151
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: you know what, let me just say that game was

152
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, to say that that that game was drunk.

153
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: And I was actually texting with our boss, Scott Shapiro

154
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: after the game and I told him that, and he's like,

155
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: I think that the drugs that they had were much

156
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: stronger than alcohol. Whatever that game was on last night.

157
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm glad you brought up Derek car though,

158
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: because Derek Carr is, as you put it, much maligned.

159
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: To put it lightly, I mean, I don't know if

160
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: there's any above average quarterback that takes more arrows than

161
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. He is consistently having his status on the

162
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: team questioned. He is routinely brought up when it comes

163
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: into hey there's a new quarterback available. Well, I'm sure

164
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders might go after him because you know, they

165
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: want to upgrade from Derek Carr. And all he does

166
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: is produced. Now. I know that he has some issues

167
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: with the fumbling and specifically, but he can sling it

168
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: with anybody in the NFL. And if you look at

169
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders skill positions, there's a reason why Darren Waller

170
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: had nineteen targets last night. Okay, because their wide receivers

171
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: this side of Baltimore might be the worst in football.

172
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: I mean, Willie sneed Jets. I mean, I don't know, man,

173
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, Davis is pretty good with the Jets,

174
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: is pretty good as far as receivers. I mean, the

175
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: Vaders have Hunter Renfroe and nothing really Willie Snee, the

176
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: guy who was the reason they went to that additional

177
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: four or five minutes of overtime because he had to

178
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: pass hit him right in the hands and the three

179
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: yard line. It bounced up into the middle of the

180
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: ends one for the interception. Yeah, I mean, what Derek

181
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Carr is able to do considering the chaos that is

182
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: always around him. You know, they overhaul the offensive line. Uh,

183
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: they have no wide receivers. They have a great tight

184
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,359
Speaker 1: end who is a recovering addict. You know, Josh Jacobs

185
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: may or may not play and when he does play,

186
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: he is great if he has twenty plus carries and okay,

187
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: when he doesn't, because last night, right he wasn't. He's

188
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: dealing with the toe injury and he was also sick.

189
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: It's funny until, like I think overtime, Marcus Mariotta was

190
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: their leading rusher with that one read option thirty one

191
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: yard run. I think could like the one third play

192
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: of the game or so. Yeah, they just they couldn't

193
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: do anything on the ground against Ravens. Nothing right, and

194
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: so they have all of this stuff going on around them.

195
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: John Gruden's a character Mark Davis is the brokest owner

196
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, that haircut is just so. And

197
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: the one constant, the one thing that they've been able

198
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: to hang their hat on the last few seasons is

199
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: that Derek Carr is gonna keep you close in a

200
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: lot of games. He might even win you a couple.

201
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: But he deserves so much more credit than what he

202
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: gets on the national stage. And I'm glad that this

203
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: took place as a standalone game, as stupid as that

204
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: game was last night, that people got to see firsthand

205
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: that Derek Carr's legit man, He's the real deal. Fox

Speaker 1: s R to listen live. I wonder how many people

210
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: Rob are gonna come away saying, well, you know, Lamar Jackson,

211
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, can you give him the bag? Uh? Oftentimes,

212
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: you know he can win you regular season games because

213
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: he's just that elusive. But now that we're seeing if

214
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: you don't have any lead offensive line and he's not

215
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: gonna be able to elude every every pass rusher, and

216
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: he's still loosey goosey with the ball. Rob This was

217
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: just not a good look for a guy seeking a

218
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: massive contract on the season opener, standalone game and you

219
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: have a fumble in the fourth and a fumble in overtime,

220
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: like these are the games they expect they pay you

221
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: to win. I heard a lot of ship from Baker

222
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Mayfield's way yesterday, including from on this podcast, not by me,

223
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: that Batchel game, Baker Mayfields. Baker Mayfield didn't deliver in

224
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: the fourth. I mean, okay, that's fair. It was against

225
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. If Baker Mayfield did not deliver on the

226
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: road against the Chiefs, then what did Lamar Jackson not

227
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: do on the road against the Raiders? Who listen, I

228
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: know you like the Raiders. They're not the Chiefs, Okay.

229
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying Lamar's going into I think he's going.

230
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens are at home next week against

231
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The Chiefs will be getting Honey Badger back.

232
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: There's a report that Flank Frank Clark will play. And

233
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: by the way, Baker just carved up the Chiefs for

234
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: three quarters. He did not deliver with the one drive

235
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: at the end um actually two drives in the fourth.

236
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: I think he came up empty, but I don't know.

237
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw Mac Jones have the best performance

238
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: of the rookies, Trevor Lawrence, Zack Wilson, Um Trey Lands

239
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: not quite there yet. We saw Mac Jones look good.

240
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: We saw um Dak Prescott look excellent. He got his bag,

241
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: he didn't get the win. It's funny, Uh, nobody's really.

242
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: Drek didn't get to win. Everybody. Baker didn't get the win.

243
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't get the win. Dak didn't win the game either.

244
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: He was playing the defending Super Bowl champs on the road.

245
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Let's say he got his team in position and Tom

246
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: Brady had the ball last. But this weekend is gonna

247
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: be interesting because what's gonna be the reaction? Rob If

248
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: all these three quarterbacks, let's say four Josh Allen got

249
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: the bag, lost at home, now has to go to Miami.

250
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: That's not a layup. Their favored Lamar Jackson playing the

251
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs wants all the money. Go Owen two man Baker

252
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: Mayfield at home against the Texans their double digit favorites.

253
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that they lose that. And then finally,

254
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: uh Dak Prescott against the Chargers, and Justin Herbert he

255
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to go Owen too. So these were

256
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: all the four quarterbacks we talked about all summer money money, money,

257
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: money money, were any of them any of them money

258
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: players in Week one in the NFL this season. Now

259
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: you could look at the stats and say, oh, come on,

260
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: that was that was awesome. Baker was great. Quarterback wins

261
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: is not a stat we go by in one We

262
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: just don't. But I think you can look what are

263
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: they doing in the clutch clutch performance, you know, like

264
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: you like to bring up that Steph Curry only has

265
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: one or two shots in the final ten seconds. Well,

266
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: if you extended to the final minute, you know, Steph

267
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: Curry's got a ton you know, you look at the

268
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: final ten seconds and maybe he doesn't have as many.

269
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be watching very closely these end of game performances.

270
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: I think unequivocally we could say Dak delivered right, his

271
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: defense let him down. Baker Mayfield did not. You know,

272
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: it's no opinion, that's a straight up fact. He did

273
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: not deliver in the fourth. It was a tough spot.

274
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: He just didn't deliver. We look at uh Lamar Jackson

275
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: last night, he didn't deliver. He vomited all over himself

276
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: in regulation and in overtime. He doesn't protect the football.

277
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: That's been a problem and it is certainly going to

278
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: be one this year, especially if that offensive line continues

279
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: to be a joke. And then we'll see about Josh Allen.

280
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: I think I might have joked that Josh Allen's uh

281
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: incredible year could have could have been an outlier. Is

282
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: he more the guy he was the first two years,

283
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: or is he the guy from last year or is

284
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: he somewhere in between. We'll see. Miami has a good secondary.

285
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: Matt Jones did carve them up. Josh Allen should be

286
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: able to deliver. I'm fascinated by this quarterback watch Rob

287
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: g absolutely and you should be. Um. You mentioned it

288
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: right off the top there that one of the big

289
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: storylines heading into last night's game, because they talked about

290
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: in ESPN and it was on Twitter a lot. Was

291
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: the reason that Lamar Jackson hasn't got his big deals,

292
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: not because they don't want to get a big deal,

293
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: is because he's acting as his own agent and he's

294
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: more worried about the season than he is about during

295
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: his bag, which in itself is a completely backwards way

296
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: of looking at things, like, I know you want to win,

297
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: but as if you get hurt, if you have a

298
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott freak injury, you think that they're going to

299
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: give Lamar Jackson another forty plus million guaranteed per season,

300
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. He needs to worry about getting

301
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: that bag secared first. But at the same time, if

302
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: you're Baltimore, if you watch that game last night, I

303
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: understand why they're hesitant to make him that Josh Allen

304
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: next set the market quarterback because the counting stats look fine.

305
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: You know, he actually had, according to Quarterback Rating, a

306
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: better game than Derek Carr. You know, his quarterback rating

307
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: was nine point six. Derek Carr was eighty nine point five.

308
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: You know, he completed about two thirds of his passes

309
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: two five yards touchdown, no picks, eighty five yards or

310
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: eighty six yards rushing. But if you watch the game,

311
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: there were so many instances where he was just bad

312
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: throwing the football, like he he missed like seventh straight

313
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: at one point in the second in the second and

314
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: third quarter, he had an instance where and I kind

315
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: of feel bad for Louis Riddick and Brian Greasy because

316
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: that you can tell they want to be honest and

317
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: critical of some of the things that Lamar Jackson's doing.

318
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: That I just think like they can't because everybody has

319
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: this shield where they want to protect him, because the

320
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: style of play that he plays is so unique that

321
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: they can't critique him the same way they were critique

322
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: another quarterback. There was a play on like third and five.

323
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: They even point out, Hey, he's gonna look from Mark

324
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: Andrews here, this is the big tight end. This is

325
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: where he likes to go to. Andrews turns around at

326
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 1: six yards, nobody around him. Jackson isn't throw it. So

327
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: Jackson is looking deep, nobody's there. He looks out to

328
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: a safety valve Tyson Williams four yards away from him

329
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, and Lamar Jackson throws the three yards

330
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: in front of his face. And it's like those little moments.

331
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: If that was any other quarterbacks in the court, you know,

332
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: pick your favorite guy, justin Herbert Carson, Wentz, whoever, Derek Carr, Oh,

333
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: you gotta make that throw. You can't miss that throw

334
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: in that situation. Tom Bradys for Tom Brady, given even

335
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: his history a time, you got to make that wash washed.

336
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: He's not making these plays, and he has too many

337
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: of those instances in every game that he plays for

338
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: me to feel comfortable giving him that kind of money,

339
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: because we all know that even the most athletically gifted

340
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: physical freaks in football are gonna have that dwindle Laway

341
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: cam Newton six five to sixty, all muscle and what

342
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: and from one season he's an m v P. Two

343
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: seasons later he's he's a liability. Was like four or

344
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: five seasons later he's out of the league because it

345
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: happens that fast. The difference between a four three forty

346
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: and a four four forty is huge in the NFL.

347
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: And if Lamar Jackson is going to be known as

348
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: the guy who can make plays that are these big

349
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: splash plays but can't make the plays that are right

350
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: there in front of him, then how can you count

351
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: on this to be sustainable long term? And I don't

352
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: want to be coming down hard. I'm sure some people

353
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: are listening. JEESEU, you guys are really killing Lamar Jackson.

354
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: Not really, not really, I mean he was bad. You

355
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: could honestly say, Lamar Jackson cost them the game. I

356
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: would say some blame obviously falls on Harbaugh for playing

357
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: for the field goal, but he has tuckers, so there's

358
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: a bit of an out there. Um. You can look

359
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: at Lamar Jackson's playoff history, it has not been very rich.

360
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: That's clutch. Those are clutch moments. And again I'm not

361
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: killing Lamar. I think he's a really good quarterback. I

362
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: like him. It's okay to say he had a bad game.

363
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: And now the pressure really builds with a game against

364
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: Kansas City in Week two, staring O and two in

365
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: the eye, and there's a chance these Steelers go to

366
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: an OH. I wouldn't rule out the Bengals going to

367
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: a O if they play the Bears. I kind of

368
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: like the Bengals this week. Um, so, all of a sudden,

369
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: now Lamar's behind the eight ball. Rob has discussed at

370
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: nauseum his history of when he falls behind by double digits.

371
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: It ain't pretty, folks. I'm I'm almost certain that he

372
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: has one comeback from double figures in his in his career,

373
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: and that was against the Titans in the playoff game.

374
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: I think it was ten. Yeah, in his entire career,

375
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: they showed the stat on Sunday, Patrick Mahomes has ten

376
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: comebacks from double digits in his career. Ten. Like I

377
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: just again, it's one game, and I do love this.

378
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: We'll kind of still begin to wrap here, but I

379
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: do love the urgency in the NFL. And this is

380
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: why it's the best sport. It's only one game, but

381
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: there's a seventeen game season. That's it. So much rides

382
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: and matters every week. You know, Major League Baseball has

383
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: been going on. I don't know what robbed three months,

384
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: four months. You know, whatever happened last month doesn't really matter.

385
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: As you see, then the Yankees peel off ten straight

386
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: wins and they're like, first, I don't even know. You

387
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: look at the NBA. You could go on huge runs

388
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: as long as you get into the playoffs, and after

389
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: league makes it, you're fine. Nothing matters in sports like

390
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. There's so few games. Every game, so much hinges,

391
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: and I keep saying, like, you don't want to overreact,

392
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: but that's a bad loss for the Ravens bat Now

393
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: on a short week, you get Mahomes and read by

394
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: the way, Andy Reid now UM thirteen and in the

395
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: month of September, in the last four years. Patrick Mahomes

396
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: out eleven or oh in September with I believe it's

397
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: thirty five touchdowns and zero interceptions. That's what the Ravens

398
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: are up against. And and I not to get two

399
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: x's and nose heavy on you, but remember the Ravens

400
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: lost Jude On, they lost in Gackway. The pass rush

401
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: was very weak. The only way they were getting the

402
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: car was by blitzing Patrick Queen, the linebackers, the safeties

403
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: they had to blitz and they were then leaving the

404
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on an island. That it's fine when Jimmy Smith

405
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: is healthy, when Marcus Peters is healthy. Neither of those

406
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: two guys played. Marlon Humphrey was very good as usual.

407
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: Young is a good player. But they don't have the

408
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: horses that they did. They're really going to have to

409
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: adjust quickly and Rob you could tell they cannot get

410
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: home with four. The only way they were getting a

411
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: car was the massive blitzes. I'm just telling you guys, now,

412
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: if they try this ship with Patrick Mahomes, he is

413
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: going to dice them up. There's no quarterback better against

414
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: the blitz and Mahomes. So now it's basically the only

415
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: strategy that has worked is get there with four like

416
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and the forty niners in the Super Bowl,

417
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: or and or sit back and get picked apart, because

418
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: if you blitz, you're gonna get destroyed. There's way too

419
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: much speed on the outside. So I don't know. I mean, Rob,

420
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: what number would you have to bet to get a

421
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: Raven Super Bowl future right now? Oh jeez, I mean

422
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: I I don't I don't even know. Like, if you

423
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: gave me twenty to one, I don't think I take it.

424
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: I would probably think twenty one. And the thing is,

425
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: like they are a good team, Like I don't want

426
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: to think the fact that they lost in the way

427
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: they lost it to say that they're not. They're they're

428
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: a very good team. Seventeen more games with this, with

429
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: all these injuries, like the Marcus Peters one is showed

430
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: very much. Bro. The Raiders had six guys catch passes

431
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: of over twenty yards six, Renfrow, Edwards, Drake Jones, Rugs, Waller,

432
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: Waller might have had multiple. For all, that's a ship ton.

433
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: They can secondary, cannot defend long enough, they can't get home.

434
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the Ravens I'm not going and saying

435
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: they're missing the playoffs or anything yet, but man, the

436
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: schedules really fascinating. Well, we'll put it this way. I

437
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: know that people are saying like, oh, you're kind of exaggerating.

438
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: It's just one game. And then you say, well, even

439
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: if they lose to the Chiefs next week, which they

440
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: probably will given that I think they've lost three straight

441
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: to them and none of them have been close. But okay,

442
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: so they start going to Just to give you some

443
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: context for you other sports lovers out there, that's the

444
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: equivalent of Lebron James and the Lakers losing ten straight.

445
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: If you were to map out at eighty two game

446
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: season with basketball and a seventeen game season in football,

447
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: starting out O and two is eleven percent of your

448
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: season gone. Okay, they're losing like nine or ten games

449
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: in a row. That's the equivalent in football. So and

450
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: oh didn't sound like a lot O and two. You say, hey, guys,

451
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: come back moment to all the time. In the NFL,

452

453

Speaker 1: making the playoffs is like four plays in a season,

459
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: what it's really going to come down to for the

460
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: Ravens probably is Week four against in Denver, because we

461
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: saw Denver look pretty damn good in the opener. Teddy Bridgewater.

462
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: Teddy covers Denver at home can be a major challenge,

463
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: and we I think we both would agree they'll they'll

464
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: handily beat Detroit, probably destroy Detroit, and then against Denver,

465
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna need that win to avoid going one and

466
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: three to start the season. That could be I don't

467
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: know about insurmountable. But I'm just telling you guys that

468
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, I know, Rob's still I don't know, and

469
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: he took shots. And who's the guy. He's the guy

470
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: Tony who loves all uh some of these uh what's

471
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: a one listener for the audience? He one is somebody

472
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: who will tune in every show, even on your bad ones.

473
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: And he's gonna be a big fan. Even if you

474
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: brought your C minus game, he's gonna say that was great.

475
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: And he listens to every word I don't have. So

476
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: if you let's say, for example, and this will never

477
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: happen to you, but let's say you have you know,

478
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: seven best bets and then when he comes time to

479
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: record the podcast, there's only six. He's the kind of

480
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: guy who would point, now, hey, you only gave us

481
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: six bets bets, even though you told me in the

482
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the tease there were seven. That's a P

483
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: one listener. Okay, I see. Now we're getting to the

484
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: nitty gritty of the lingo of of podcasts. So P

485
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 1: how do you determine people and listeners emails? Social media? Like,

486
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: what did you used to do to determine P one listeners?

487
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: And what do you do now? Well, back in the day,

488
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 1: they used to have these actual meters where you were

489
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: clock in and clock out whenever you were listening to something.

490
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: Now nowadays, with digital aids, it's just hey, how many

491
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: unique listeners do you have? And how often do they

492
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: listen to the whole pot? Because apparently there's places they

493
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: don't count. If they listen in half of it, you

494
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: better listen to the full thirty to forty minutes of

495
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: this straight fire podcast. You want to give us some credit,

496
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: but there are people and you can tell the best

497
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: way to tell nowadays social media. You get it with

498
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: d ms on Instagram and Twitter, and so do I.

499
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: We're like, hey, I heard what you said about X,

500
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: Y and Z and that was like a the thirty

501
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: seven minute mark of something that was an innocuous comment.

502
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: But the fact that they noticed it tells you that

503
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: they're listening closer than anybody at us. I love it,

504
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: We love it, Tony. Thanks for the comments. And and listen,

505
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: there's plenty of guys who slide into my d m

506
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: s a lot um and that's not a bad thing. Listen,

507
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: it's not. Trust me, it's not a lot of chicks

508
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast. I think what was the breakdown

509
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: to nine and I think like maybe eight of that

510
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: nine percent was my family members, the females. Um. I

511
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: don't even think Rob's wife listens. Does your mom even

512
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: know you're on this podcast? My mom does know, but

513
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: she's only ever listened to like half of one episode,

514
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: half of when she she was that into my I

515
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: think she listened to a best bet that you botched,

516
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: and she's like, I'm never listening to this second bugger off.

517
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back tomorrow. Guys, enjoy your Tuesday.
