3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: I have Tracy Sandler alongside along with me. She shouldn't

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: say alongside me. She's in La in the FSR studios.

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Tracy, how are you doing?

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: I am good, Karmen, and I'm always alongside you, no

00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 3: matter what, I.

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,920

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly.

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: And you're in my ears. So it's awesome.

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: I appreciate you being here. I appreciate all of you

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: for listening. We're excited to kick off another couple hours

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: of Fox Football Saturday. I do want to mention that

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: we are hoping that Mark Sanchez is okay. We heard

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: the update from Moncy Hi Moncy, by the way, that

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: he was involved in an altercation overnight in Indianapolis where

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: he was supposed to call the game tomorrow, and so

18
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: we certainly hope that he's okay and he's going to

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: get better soon.

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: I we have a great show for you today.

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: We're going to talk a whole lot of football, and

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: including the Indianapolis Colts, because I don't know what to

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: do with them.

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I don't know what like Daniel.

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: Jones is just he's He's like top five and every

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: major passing metric you could want someone to be. And

27
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 2: I'm I don't really know what to do with my hands.

28
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm like the Ricky Bobby meme. I don't know if

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: you're in my hams. But we're gonna talk some you know,

30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: the top who's the top of the NFC, who's the

31
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: top of the AFC. We're gonna get into some fun

32
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: just like preview stuff and Mac Jones and slash the

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: forty nine ers offense again? What do we do there?

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: Is it the Niners offense? Is it Shanahan? Is it

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 2: Mac Jones?

36
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

37
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 4: I have lots of thoughts.

38
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure Tracy does. And if you miss, if you

Speaker 1: All right.

54
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: So before we get to all that NFL stuff, though,

55
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: we would be remiss not to mention the fact that

56
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: the MLB postseason is going on.

57
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: We've got October baseball.

58
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: We've got the Brewers absolutely smacking the Chicago Cubs right now.

59
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: Last I looked at it was nine to one. I

60
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: don't actually know if it's changed since then, but it

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: was a six run first inning for the Milwaukee Brewers.

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: Looking so hot for the Cubs. And as someone who

63
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: lives in Chicago and.

64
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: Who's passed a whole bunch of bars with a whole

65
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: lot of Cubs fans, and I'm sorry it's all of.

66
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: Them, it's probably been a little bit of a rough afternoon,

67
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: i'd have to.

68
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, they've got time they can pull

69
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: out here. But I mean the Brewers have kind of

70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 2: been the bane of their existence all season long.

71
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: So there's that then there's.

72
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: The Yankees Red Sox series that ended in thrilling fashion.

73
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: Sure did this week where Kam Schlittler. I gotta be

74
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: real careful when I say that on air.

75
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: Yes, you do earn the win over the.

76
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: Red Sox in Game three or the twenty twenty five

77
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: wild Card series. Eight shutout innings, striking out twelve batters,

78
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 2: walking none by the way, four no victory for the

79
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: Yankees to advance. Schlitzler became the first pitcher in MLB

80
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: postseason history to throw at least eight scoreless innings with

81
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: twelve or more strikeouts and no walks. Incredible because he's

82
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: like twelve years old.

83
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very, very incredible.

84
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 3: But something else incredible is happening this afternoon, Carmen, and

85
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: you know I have to mention it.

86
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: The great show.

87
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: Heyo Tani will be making his postseason pitching debut. I

88
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: believe he will be the first player ever assuming he

89
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: leads off to lead off and then pitch in a

90
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: postseason So way to go, show, Hey, let's do this.

91
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: I hope he's listening. I hope he got my little let's.

92
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Do this fum, I'm sure he is. That's what else

93
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: is he doing.

94
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing else?

95
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Show?

96
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 4: Hey you got this. I'm behind you, my friend.

97
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: I feel like our producer Bopen Sid has something to

98
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: say too about the set Enego Padres, bo.

99
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: Bo any thoughts on the Padres, because I always have

100
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: thoughts on the Padres.

101
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 5: Sorry, I just have so many thoughts on that team

102
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: that I had to like, No, it's I asked this

103
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: question of Jonas Knox, and maybe I'll ask you guys here. Uh,

104
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: who do you think scored more runs the Padres in

105
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 5: their three games set against the Cubs or the Brewers

106
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 5: in the first inning against the Cubs.

107
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Oh?

108
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 3: I know, I'm raising my hand, Carton can't. In case

109
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: you didn't know, the Padres love to blame other people

110
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 3: for their ineptitude.

111
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: Embarrassing, I will say, like having to be held back

112
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: from just trying to go into the dugout. Like I'm

113
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: not saying that there weren't some questionable calls there and

114
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: all that other stuff, but good.

115
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: God, what a bad look.

116
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 4: It's a bad look. And listen, Fernando Tatis.

117
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: Since I believe Game two of the nlds last season

118
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: in the post seasons was three for twenty three, that's

119
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: not the Umps Falt, Thank you very much.

120
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.

121
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 6: Ye.

122
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: The Dodgers scrap heap catcher had more hits in the

123
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 5: wild Card Series than Tatis and Machado combined.

124
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 4: So there you go. Tells me everything I need to know.

125
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: You know, Karma Cubs are getting smacked. I don't know.

126
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: Maybe that'should make esture, that make Padres fancy a little bit.

127
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, make it feel worse. I don't know either,

128
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: but I mean, I love October baseball. It's great. I

129
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: wish it was a little cooler here in Chicago because

130
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: it's like eighty five degrees. I don't feel like it

131
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: should be baseball playoffs, but it is.

132
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 4: It's eighty five in Chicago.

133
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: Wow, it with eighty two and ann Arbor to Day,

134
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: which was also surprising.

135
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: So oh no, the whole Midwest is going through a

136
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: heat wave and everybody's a real crabby about it.

137
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure all right. Well, other fall things.

138
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Also, the NFL is officially like we're through Q one.

139
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: I love that it's one of the NFL.

140
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: I love that we're through Q one. We're through the

141
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: first four games.

142
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, the seventeen games, so it's not

143
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: quite but whatever, it's fine.

144
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: And listen.

145
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: I this is kind of when you start to know, like,

146
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: all right, who teams actually are because the first four

147
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: games of the season are always crazy.

148
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: At the beginning of the season is always crazy. Q one.

149
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna stick with it.

150
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: Always crazy. It's always pretty topsy turvy. Teams don't know

151
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: what to make of each other, YadA, YadA, YadA. However,

152
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: I want to kind of try to make sense of,

153
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: all right, who do we actually think is at the

154
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 2: top of both of these conferences, the NFC and the

155
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: AFC favorites if you will, at this stage of the game,

156
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: because you have I'll start in the NFC, you have

157
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: Philadelphia at four and oh so like that has to

158
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: be kind of the given whether or not, you know,

159
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: like AJ Brown might have something to say about it

160
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 2: because he's not getting the ball as much as he'd

161
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: like to, and he pulled the very quintessential wide receiver.

162
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tweet out some crazy stuff. Actually, I think

163
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: you're tweeting out a Bible verse, so I shouldn't call.

164
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: It crazy cryptic but cryptic the cryptic.

165
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you know, there was there's the one tweet

166
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: that circles around every so often of like wide receivers,

167
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: like the enemy you know, speaks softly but carries a

168
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: big carries a big.

169
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: Knife or whatever.

170
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: Exactly.

171
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: In that same.

172
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: Tweet, it says, like tight end tweet, Dirpe, it's the best.

173
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: It's the best tweet if you if you know what

174
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. But I mean the Eagles as a whole,

175
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: despite some of the injuries that they have, I think

176
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: they're at the top. I don't know, do you have

177
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: an argument to that, Tracy.

178
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: Do you have an alternative? If we're talking top team

179
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: in the NFC right now?

180
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: I have a thought if I don't know if that counts.

181
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: I had a little trouble with this because you're right,

182
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: Q one, you don't really know yet we're going in

183
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: tweak five. I'm looking around the league. There are teams

184
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: that are four and oh, there are teams have lost

185
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: one game. I don't feel like there's any team maybe

186
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: save the Bills.

187
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: I don't know.

188
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: That's like far and away above everybody else. And the Eagles, yes,

189
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: they're four and oh, but I think their offense is

190
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: still finding its identity.

191
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: And so I had a little trouble with this one.

192
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: I had a couple of teams at the top of

193
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: the AFC, multiple honorable mentions, a few of the NFC.

194
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: I just I had a little trouble. I'm struggling a little.

195
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: But I think in some ways that's good for the

196
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: league because every week is like, Okay, who is going

197
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 3: to establish themselves this week?

198
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? I agree.

199
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: I mean that's the ultimate parody, right The NFL is

200
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: known for parody, and that's the way we like it.

201
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: But I'm with you that, Like I have filling Out

202
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: at the top because they are the only foreign four OHNFC,

203
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: I have the Bills at the top of the AFC

204
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: because they are the only foreign OH team in the AFC.

205
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 2: So like I and and the Bills look as dominant

206
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: as like anyone right now, I.

207
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 3: Think they look better than any team in the entire league.

208
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: I agree, and I have that they're actually my Super

209
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: Bowl pick. It's Bills Packers, because I think.

210
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: That'd be fun.

211
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that would be so fun.

212
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be fun? It would just be fun.

213
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 3: It would be fun. I had had the Rams originally,

214
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: but now I don't know. I'm not so sure. We

215
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: can talk more about that later, but I think that

216
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: would be such a fun super Bowl.

217
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: I'm all in it and what iconic fan basis, That's.

218
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, and like so fun.

219
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously the Bills are much more starved for yeah, trophy, sure,

220
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: but I mean there there is a growing contingent in

221
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: Green Bay of like, is Matt Lafleura the guy. Yes,

222
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: we've had success under him, but like he hasn't gotten

223
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: us over the hump? And then they go out and

224
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: they make this blockbuster trade for Michael Parsons and it's like, Okay,

225
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: you're the most complete team on paper.

226
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Here, what's happening?

227
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: And like they can't really figure out their offensive line yet,

228
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: and like there's some stuff I don't know what.

229
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna see what. We can talk about the Packers

230
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more later, but.

231
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: I think in there because I don't even think they're

232
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: the best team right now, risk right now in their divisions.

233
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: The Packers, yea, because I agree with you, the Lions

234
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: are the best team in the NFC North, and I

235
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: think they're right below Philadelphia because while they do have

236
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 2: that one loss to the Packers, that was at the

237
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: very beginning of the season, and it's you know, Detroit

238
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: is trying to figure out their way after a coaching exodus,

239
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: so you had to think that there was going to

240
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: be some sort of bumps to begin the season with,

241
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: and they, to their credit, Detroit got it together real quick.

242
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: Yes, they sure did.

243
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: And they look just as unstoppable of a force as

244
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: they did last year, even though they have John Morton

245
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: now as offensive coordinator Calvin Shephard as defensive coordinator. I

246
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: like they just kind of picked right back up. And

247
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: so I really, despite the fact that there're three and one,

248
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: I do still think that they're one of the powerhouses

249
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: in the NFC.

250
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, And this is going to be fun. It's

251
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: going to be fun to end the season. NFC North,

252
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: I think, is just a division that's going to be

253
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: really fun to keep an eye on all season long.

254
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean, see many times I can say fun in

255
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: the next couple of hours, guys, But I just think

256
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: that division it'll go down to the wire in theory.

257
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, the Vikings have had eight gazillion

258
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 3: injuries and there are things they have to get together. Obviously,

259
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 3: the Bears, as you well know, very much at work

260
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 3: in progress of sorts. But it's an interesting division. But

261
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: you're right, the Lions seem to have picked back up.

262
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: They look pretty darn dominant. So it's just interesting. I looked,

263
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 3: I had the Eagles and the Packers as my top

264
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: two teams, and then in the NFC, and then my

265
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: honorable mentions are kind of the Bucks, that's forty.

266
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: Nine Ers, the Rams, the Bite.

267
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: You notice all these question marks coming at the end

268
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: of my there's a lot of it's a lot of questions.

269
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: I love it though, I absolutely love it.

270
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it still is early to figure out

271
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: what these teams are who they are again, there's room

272
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: for like and I think a lot of those A

273
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: lot of the things that those honorable mention teams, at

274
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: least in the NFC and maybe even the AFC have

275
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: in common are like they also have all already suffered

276
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: some significant injuries. Yes, and like you look at the

277
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: Bucks and like they lost Elijah Canty on the middle

278
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: of that defensive line. It's like, okay, yeah, they still

279
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: have B to B, they still have whatever. But like

280
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: Elijah Canzy, especially when you're talking about the run defense,

281
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: is a huge piece of what Todd Bowles wants to

282
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 2: do with that defense there and then you have Mike

283
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: Evans having another hamstring injury, and so that takes away

284
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: some of the momentum that they had that he had

285
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 2: with Baker and Chris Goden was working his way back.

286
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: So like, there's a lot of injuries that we have

287
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: to kind of account for, which prevents us from really

288
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: knowing what this team is. Like what's possible with these

289
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 2: teams in the NFC.

290
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, though the Autaba.

291
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: Mentions even the second team in the AFC, I don't know.

292
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: Like Cold Steelers Chargers all three and one.

293
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 4: I put the Chargers as my second team.

294
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: I did two, but I have a bunch of question

295
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: marks after this.

296
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: I definitely have a bunch of question marks.

297
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: There's offensive line issues, there's injury issues there that that

298
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: was a little bit of a pick with my heart obviously, because.

299
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like I want to trust the Chargers because

300
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: I want to. I want I want good things for

301
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, I really do, and.

302
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: I want good things for Justin Herbert too, and really

303
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: good things for Jim Harbaugh obviously, But.

304
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: I like, you know, Joel is dealing with the Higa

305
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 2: Goel spray now, and so you want you hope that

306
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: he can get back soon. And they're still dealing with

307
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 2: some offensive line injuries, which which stinks. But I I

308
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: mean Omarion Hampton had kind of like his breakout game

309
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: and that loss to the Giants, which by the way,

310
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: the Chargers lost the Giants, and you're just.

311
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 4: Like, right, but that's gonna. I do think that's why

312
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 4: it's so because we're so early.

313
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: You know, the end of a season, you look and say,

314
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: I remember years ago, like whatever year was the Chiefs,

315
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: what did they started zero to two, and didn't they

316
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl that year? That happened to back

317
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: up and billion and a half years ago when the

318
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: Jaguars were like super nuper relevant, that happened to them.

319
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: They went to I believe the AFC Championship game that year.

320
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: It's just it's hard to tell.

321
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 3: And they lost to a Giants team that was a

322
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: little bit rejuvenated, re energized with their new order back.

323
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: And yeah, and I mean they've got my little running

324
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: back Campskataboo.

325
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Who's my ASU guy?

326
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: Nice everything about being a sun devil, a Sun devil Jerry.

327
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, yeah.

328
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: That's that's all gonna thank you.

329
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, but at the same time, the

330
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: Chargers have to get past the Chiefs and that's not

331
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: a given. Like, I know that they don't look great,

332
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: but again, two years ago, they didn't start out great.

333
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: They Patrick Mahomes suffered the most drops in the league

334
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: by his receivers. I keep calling back to that because

335
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: it was such a big dealer. We thought it was

336
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: such a big deal, and then they won the Super

337
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: Bowl that year, So I'm like, all right, they're still

338
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: like in the mix here, like you're talking about who's

339
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: actually the second best team in the AFC. I think

340
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs still have to even be in that conversation

341
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: just because they're the Chiefs.

342
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: But that's not a fun discussion to have.

343
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: I have them as an honorable mention for the reason

344
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: because I'm not I'm not convinced that they're not gonna

345
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: chief like the Chargers. Charger and the Chiefs chief and

346
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: it's good please different directions. But is this the year

347
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: that that changes. That's what remains to be seen.

348
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: That's what remains to be seen.

349
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: It what remains to be seen, too, is another discussion

350
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: on Mac Jones or the forty nine Ers offense. Who

351
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: is responsible for that that last win. We're gonna get

352
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: to it. On the other side of this, you're listening

00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 8: the bottom of the knife. Yeah, and I think you

392
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,360

Speaker 1: Okay, Tracy, Yes, I'm so.

415
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: Excited for this. I'm so excited to talk to you

416
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: about this. Because we all saw Thursday night Football. I mean,

417
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: especially if you're a sicko and you watch Thursday night football.

418
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: It was I I was, honestly, I was scarred from

419
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: the Packers Cowboys game.

420
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: I was like, is this game gonna end in a tie?

421
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 7: Too?

422
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: Because I can't take two ties in one calendar week

423
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: I can't do it.

424
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: I won't do it.

425
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: Parody has gotten out of control of that in that regard.

426
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: But the mac Jones led San Francisco forty nine ers

427
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 2: end up with a twenty six twenty three win over

428
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams in overtime, and I think, I mean,

429
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: first of all, mac Jones hung in there through a

430
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: whole lot. He took multiple hits.

431
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 1: He was he was in so much pain.

432
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: I don't know that he physically could have gone out

433
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: there for another drive in that overtime period or like

434
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: at all. Like I mean, I was kind of surprised

435
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 2: he even went out there for overtime because he was

436
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: just clearly in an incredible amount of pain. He was

437
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 2: apparently really dehydrated battling through all of this. And then

438
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: it's sparked a bigger conversation. Now I think, of all, right,

439
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 2: is mac Jones better than we thought? Was it just

440
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: that bad in New England? Which I don't think anybody

441
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: can argue that it was. It was horrendous in New

442
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: England that experience for him.

443
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: Is he still I.

444
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: Mean, he's a top fifteen pick, and is he still

445
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: the you know, is there life left in mac Jones?

446
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: Or something.

447
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 2: Is it more to do with Kyle Shanahan the system

448
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: that he has built in San Francisco and can any

449
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: anybody kind of operate either because their current starter who

450
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: was injured for this, Brock Party was mister Irrelevant. He

451
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: was picked the last pick of the NFL Draft in

452
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: the seventh round at the end of the seventh round,

453
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: and this system got him paid. But I think a

454
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: lot of us have been like, well, Black Party is

455
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: a really good quarterback though, And I just think that

456
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: this has created such a bigger conversation of Okay, is

457
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: it the offense, is it the system or do the

458
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: forty nine ers just have the capability to kind of

459
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 2: find these guys or develop them in a certain way

460
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 2: that speaks to their skills set and they just know

461
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: that these guys are they that they end up finding

462
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: are better than we all think.

463
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: First of all, I want to add one thing to

464
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: the Mac Shones lore because I asked Kyle about it

465
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: yesterday and he said that actually his forearm was cramping

466
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 3: so much he called a play for Adrian Martinez, their backup,

467
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 3: and that's who he thought was going in the game.

468
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 3: And then he looked up and Mac Jones was in

469
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 3: the huddle, So just adding to the lore. There a

470
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: little fun fact to share with you guys. But you know,

471
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: I think it is a combination of things. I think,

472
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: first of all, and we've talked about this before, it's

473
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 3: obviously a huge conversation developing quarterbacks. They get a high pick,

474
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: often going to a bad team that quarterback developed.

475
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 4: How much is put on their shoulders.

476
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 3: I think Max Sjowones was not in a great situation

477
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: in New England, not in a great situation in Jacksonville,

478
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 3: and he has found a good situation in San Francisco.

479
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan is good at this. Look what he did

480
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: with Sam Darnold.

481
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: I think this.

482
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: He's got these talented quarterbacks that needed to be developed.

483
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: So I think that that is some of it. And

484
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 4: you know, I think it is a talent.

485
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: But a lot of credit should go to Kyle Shanahan

486
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: because you look at that game, one of the craziest

487
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 3: games I've ever covered. And to quote the kids, if

488
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: they still say this, he was in his bag. I

489
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: mean the forty nine ers came out there with their

490
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: backup quarterback. No Juwan Jennings, no Ricky piersov Nick Bosa

491
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 3: out for the season.

492
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 4: No, George Kittle and the Rams.

493
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: Really did look like they looked at the injury report

494
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: and like, yeah, we got this. I mean, that is

495
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 3: how they played. But Kyle Shanahan called an incredible game.

496
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: Mac Jones is a talented quarterback. I'm not saying he's

497
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: better than Brock Party. And I think this has become

498
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 3: a discourse. I don't think it's a controversy. I do

499
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: think it is a discourse. Rock Pertty, I think is

500
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: an incredible coursequarterback. They had to pay him. He is

501
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 3: their guy. But what we're seeing is that Kyle Shanahan

502
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 3: is a heck of a coach and that is not

503
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: a bad thing. And I don't think it's a bad

504
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: thing that quarterbacks can go into this system and be successful.

505
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 3: Jimmy Garoppolo into a super Bowl in this system. But

506
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: I don't think that's a knock on the quarterback. I

507
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: think it's more of a positive of the coach. But

508
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: I also think it's okay. It's okay they paid Rock

509
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 3: Party because he is their guy and he's successful in

510
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 3: their system, and they want him to be successful in

511
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: their system, and they have a backup at Mac Jones

512
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 3: that can get the job done, which is why they

513
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: brought him to San Francisco and he's had to get

514
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: the job done. And I think it doesn't have to

515
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 3: be a controversy. It can just be like kind of

516
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: props to everyone involved.

517
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: Well there is that, and I think I agree with

518
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: you in all of that. And like, when you find

519
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: a quarterback, even if it is a system quarterback, if

520
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: he fits your system and he lets you do what

521
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 2: you want to do, just keep around.

522
00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: Pay the man.

523
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 2: Don't don't invite any sort of like instability at that position, right.

524
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: I get that.

525
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: However, when you look at this game and what Mac

526
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: Jones was asked to do and what Kyle Shanahan asks

527
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: his quarterbacks to do, which I think is a testament

528
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: to him also and the system that it can work

529
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: with this He's not asking his quarterbacks to do a

530
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: whole lot.

531
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: But he does need someone to do it.

532
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: He does that.

533
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: Mac Johnes' air yards per attempt in this game five

534
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 2: point eight yards. You look at his passing chart and

535
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: his longest completion was like either nineteen or twenty yards.

536
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: He only ever attempted one pass longer than that, and

537
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: it was an incompletion, he was spreading the ball out

538
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: all on all sides, all over like that short to

539
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: intermediate area of the field, and he's just kind of

540
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: dinking and dunking his way down the field, which, again,

541
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: if you can continue to move the ball that way,

542
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: I'm not hating on it. Drew Brees made an entire

543
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: career doing that. But if that's the case and that's

544
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: all you're going to ask your quarterbacks to do, then

545
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: was it worth going out and paying fifty something million

546
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: dollars a year for brock Party or could you have conceivably,

547
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: you know, ushered in. I mean, it could be mac Jones.

548
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: It could have been mac Jones and then you would

549
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: have had the same results. I don't know the answer

550
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 2: to that, but it's I understand the discourse around it

551
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: because of the fact that this offense works because you're

552
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: not without a whole lot of heroics from the quarterback.

553
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: My SMS to me, be a good quarterback.

554
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: My one counterpoint to that is we're going on Thursday's game,

555
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 3: and I don't think that that's all he asked his

556
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 3: quarterbacks to do.

557
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: If you look at the full.

558
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: Breadth of his time with even with Jimmy Garoppolo with

559
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: Brock party we're going off Thursday's game, and Mac played great,

560
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: But I look at like the early Shanahan years, Nick Mullins, CJ. Bethard,

561
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: Brian Hoyer. He couldn't do it with them. He couldn't

562
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: do it with Trey Lance. So it's and that's not

563
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: a knock on Kyle, it's just there's only so much

564
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: the man can do. So I think think you look

565
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: at these other quarterbacks that he could do it with

566
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: because they.

567
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 4: Work for him.

568
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: But you know, Brock, Brock earned it, in my opinion,

569
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: and I understand people talk about that.

570
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 4: I totally understand, like why did they pay him all

571
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 4: of that?

572
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 3: There's always been this national thing around Brock and being

573
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: mister Irrelevant and it can't be it can't be real.

574
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 4: But he did earn it.

575
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 3: He came into this offense is rookie year in December

576
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: when Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt and took him to an

577
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: NFC championship game.

578
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: I mean that then took them to a super Bowl.

579
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: He's been hurt.

580
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: I think the other thing is Brock played so poorly

581
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: on Sunday because you partly because you reaggravated that turf

582
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: toe injury. There's also the recency. I don't know if

583
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: it's bias of that. Wow, look how awful he played

584
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: Sunday and how great Mac Jones like Thursday. Kyle could

585
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: do this with anyone, and I don't I don't know

586
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 3: that that's totally the case.

587
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 4: We've seen him successful with the.

588
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 3: Number of quarterbacks, but we've also seen a number of

589
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that he was not able to be successful.

590
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna be interested to see how this goes

591
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: when as it goes on and if you know this,

592
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 2: this game plan was paired down because Mac Jones as

593
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: your quarterback, or if this is kind of how Kyle

594
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: Shanahan operates this current system.

595
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 3: And he didn't have his top two wide receivers, I mean,

596
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: that's ot the thing so bad too.

597
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: So like, I'll be interest to see how this continues

598
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: to go on.

599
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: But I also am going to be interested to see

600
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: what our next guest is about to say about the

601
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens because Lamar Jackson officially ruled out for this weekend,

602
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: and despite that, he has been incredible from his perspective.

603
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: It's the team around him that I just don't know

604
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: what to do with. Brian Whacker of the Baltimore Sun

605
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: is going to come on with us right.

606
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: After this update break.

607
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 11: Hey, gl's happy to be hanging out with you on

608
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 11: this Saturday show.

609
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 12: Hey O, Tawny Day.

610
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 11: That's what we're gonna dub it for now because there's

611
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 11: a lot going on. But we'll start in baseball because

612
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 11: it is October baseball. Game one of the NLDS all

613
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 11: Brewers so far, I mean, Michael Bush started things off

614
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 11: for the Cubs with the home run in the first inning,

615
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 11: but the Brewers have responded.

616
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 12: They're on top, nine to bottom of the seventh inning.

617
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 11: Game one of the Alds between the Yankees and the

618
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 11: Blue Jays is underway.

619
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 12: Bottom of the second inning in Toronto.

620
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 11: Vladimir Guerrero Junior started things off with a solo home

621
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 11: run and did this inning for the Yankees with a

622
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 11: nice catch at first base. So right now the Blue

623
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 11: Jays are up on the Yankees one zero, bottom of

624
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 11: the second inning about to start.

625
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 12: When it comes to college.

626
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 11: Football, Ucla is on top of number seven Penn State

627
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 11: right now, seventeen to seven. Nico Io mal Liaba with

628
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 11: the second touchdown pass.

629
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 12: Also if you missed it.

630
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 11: Carmen UCLA scored on their opening drive and then they

631
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 11: went on to have a successful on sidekick. That is

632
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 11: what the Bruins did to start the game.

633
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: So they're upright, des for times, desperate measures, and they worked.

634
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 12: Seventeen to seven.

635
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 11: Still early in the second quarter, Arch Manning has on

636
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 11: his first first touchdown pass of the day. But number

637
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 11: nine Texas is losing to Florida ten to seven early

638
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 11: in the second. Number sixteen Vanderbilt up on number ten

639
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 11: Alabama seven zero early in the second quarter. In fact,

640
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 11: Vanderbilt was knocking on the door to score again, but

641
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 11: quarterback Diego Pavia fumbled and lost the ball. Then we've

642
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 11: got Notre Dame up on Boise State. Number twenty one

643
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 11: Notre Dame six zero early in the second wide is

644
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 11: six because Boise State blocked the extra point. Number twenty

645
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 11: four Virginia and Louisville tied at seven early in the

646
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 11: second and then it looks like number five Oklahoma on

647
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 11: the scoreboard. First against Kent State seven zero early in

648
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 11: the first quarter. One upset Cincinnati with the upset over

649
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 11: number fourteen.

650
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 12: Iowa State thirty eight to thirty victories.

651
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 11: Also for number twelve Georgia, number twenty Michigan, and number

652
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 11: twenty two Illinois.

653
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 12: And some sad but hey positive news.

654
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 11: Former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports broadcaster Mark Sanchez

655
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 11: is hospitalized after being stabbed in Indianapolis early Saturday morning.

656
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 11: Fox Sports set in a statement that he is recovering.

657
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 11: He's in stable condition, but he will not be part

658
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 11: of the broadcast crew for Sunday's game between the Raiders

659
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 11: and the Colts.

660
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 12: But he's in stable condition and.

661
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: That is what matters.

662
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 12: Back to you gals, Thank.

663
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: You, Monci, and yes, good news on Mark Sanchez's front.

664
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: We certainly hope for a speedy recovery for our Fox

665
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: Sports coworker. And now we're going to go to the

666
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: East coast. Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun. Brian, how

667
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: you doing?

668
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 6: I'm great?

669
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: How are you great? So?

670
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: I thank you so much for joining us because I

671
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: quite frankly have so many questions about the Baltimore Ravens,

672
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure everybody else does too.

673
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 8: Uh.

674
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: I was diving into, you know, some of the stats

675
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: and every advanced metric. Lamar is being Lamar, and we

676
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: know that he's out for this weekend, but it doesn't

677
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: seem like he was getting a whole lot of help

678
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: from the rest of the team. So what are the

679
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: what's the outlook now for this weekend, now that you're

680
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: Lamar less and that the rest of the team doesn't

681
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: seem to be pulling their weight.

682
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 6: Well, I would presume we'll see a lot of Derrick Henry,

683
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 6: which we haven't really seen much of the past couple

684
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 6: of weeks. We saw plenty of them in that wild

685
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 6: Week one lost to the Buffalo Bills forty one forty

686
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 6: where they ran the ball really all all over the

687
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 6: Bills and none surprisingly, I mean, Bills have I think

688
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 6: the worst run defense, certainly one of the worst run

689
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 6: defenses in the NFL in terms of yards, So not

690
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 6: a huge surprise there, but they really, you know, as

691
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 6: good as Lamar has been this year, leads the NFL

692
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 6: touchdown passes passer rating, the offense has just been kind

693
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 6: of disjointed these past few weeks. Look some of that

694
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 6: is the opponents, you know, playing teams like Kansas City Chiefs,

695
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 6: which have had their number Steve Spagnolo's just you know,

696
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 6: putting that voodoo curse on the great and the team

697
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 6: once again as he always does. And then you look

698
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 6: at the Detroit Lions and how they're playing, so you

699
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 6: know it's not like they're you know, feel like their

700
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 6: offense is going up against you know, bad teams. And

701
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 6: then you throw the Cleveland Browns in, who they kind

702
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 6: of ran away from in the second half. But you know,

703
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 6: that's again a very very good stout defense. But really

704
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 6: it's I think there's a few reasons, and I think

705
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 6: it's partly the offensive line has not been very good

706
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 6: Lamar at times, it's maybe held the ball longer than expected,

707
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 6: kind of letting routes develop and being a little less

708
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 6: likely to run crafts. Now we see why with this

709
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 6: hamstring injury so which you know, all indications are it's

710
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 6: sort of like a compilation of things, not one particular play.

711
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 6: So I think all of that you throw in idea

712
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 6: likely they were without him for the first few weeks

713
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 6: of the season and the ascended tight end behind Mark Andrews.

714
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 6: So I just think there's been a lot of this

715
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 6: jointedness to this offense, and then the defense, as you know,

716
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 6: has just been terrible. That doesn't help your offense.

717
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 3: I have a coaching question, Brian, how important is this

718
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: year for John Harbaugh. He's with the Ravens a long time,

719
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: want a super werk, they've fallen short.

720
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 4: How important is this year for him and his job security?

721
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 6: Well, I think it's important. You see. I think you know, look,

722
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 6: is John Harvar gonna get fired off this season? I

723
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 6: have a hard time thinking that would be the case.

724
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 6: Your point. I mean, here's the second longest tenured coach

725
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 6: in the NFL, has won a couple of Super Bowls

726
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 6: for them, so you know, look they they are. You know,

727
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 6: he's won a Super Bowl there before, so he's very

728
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 6: close with the with the owner, Steve Bashatti. That said,

729
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 6: I think, look if they things go sideways here and

730
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 6: it ends up being a bad year, I think he's

731
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 6: very much on the hobkeat for next year. He just

732
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 6: signed his three year extension this past offseason and look

733
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 6: those you know, if that doesn't mean anything as we

734
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 6: have in the NFL, really, but I will say that,

735
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 6: you know, I always go back to this, who are

736
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 6: you replacing him with? And if you replace John Harbo,

737
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 6: that means you're replacing Todd Monk and the offensive coordinator

738
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 6: and you're having to replace really the whole operation with

739
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 6: the quarterback and Lamar Jackson, who you've got to figure out,

740
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 6: you know, is there a better option to coach him

741
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 6: than John Harbaugh. So that said, I wouldn't be shocked

742
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 6: if the defense continues to struggle, if we saw a

743
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 6: change there. I know John Harbaugh has been very positive

744
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 6: about defensive coordinator zakh War in his second year. First

745
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 6: time he's ever called a defense at any level was

746
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 6: last year. So there's been some real struggles he's been

747
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 6: He's defended him a lot. But I have to think,

748
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 6: you know what, we see this all the time where

749
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 6: anytime a team struggles that is expected to do well,

750
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 6: you know, eventually there's heat on the coordinators and then

751
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 6: it sort of works its way up the chain to

752
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 6: the head coach. So I would expect, you know, before

753
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 6: we would see John Harbaugh get fired, I would expect

754
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 6: maybe a coordinator change defensive coordinator zak War if were

755
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 6: to go.

756
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 13: Down that road.

757
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 6: But certainly I think if what if they do not

758
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 6: have a good season, you know, certainly he is going

759
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 6: to be turned up for next year for John Harbaugh.

760
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: How long do you think the leash is then?

761
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean, given the fact that now Nondie Matta Bouquet

762
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: is no longer in the lineup. You know, he's out

763
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: for the rest of the season. What is like, is

764
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: there a kind of a leash on all right now?

765
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: We have to figure out how to compensate for that

766
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 2: because he's not one of those players that you can

767
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: just plug and play another guy. And I feel like

768
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 2: it's it's going to take more than that to make

769
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: up for his absence. So how long do you think

770
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: it's going to take for them to figure that out?

771
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 2: And how long believes will zach or be given?

772
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know that they can make up for

773
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 6: that absence to your point, and this is a guy

774
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 6: who's a pro bowler and two years ago let the

775
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 6: NFL for interior linemen in sacks with thirteen, had six

776
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 6: and a half last year and was one of one

777
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 6: of the most double team players in the league. You know,

778
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 6: good news is we'll get Travis Jones back this week.

779
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 6: He's been dealing with a knee injury, but he practiced

780
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 6: full on Friday, so he should play Broderick Washington, another

781
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 6: sort of veteran defensive tackle, to kind of take some

782
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 6: of the load off. He'll come off of ir in

783
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 6: a couple more weeks, but really, yeah, there's I don't

784
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 6: unless they make a move here, which they really have not.

785
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 6: You know, defensive tackles too are you know, the high

786
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 6: level performers, they don't. They don't grow on trees number

787
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 6: one and number two. You know, it takes a lot

788
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 6: to get those guys, and it's not an organization. Eric Tacosta,

789
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 6: the GM that likes to trade draft picks, he used

790
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 6: them his currency and likes to acquire as many as possible. Now,

791
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 6: we did see him trade a couple of draft picks

792
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 6: a few years ago to acquire Roquan Smith mid season,

793
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 6: the middle linebacker. But you know, I would not I

794
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 6: don't really see them making a move at this point.

795
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 6: I think the price would be awfully high for them

796
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 6: to get somebody. That said, I think certainly they will

797
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 6: be scouring the free agent market. There's certainly some guys,

798
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 6: a couple of guys here and there who are still available,

799
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 6: so you know the lease is not long. To your point, like,

800
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 6: if they lose this game to the Texans and they

801
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 6: lose next week to a very very good Rams team,

802
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 6: I think going to bye week one and five, I

803
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 6: would not be surprised if we maybe saw even if

804
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 6: it's not publicly, I would not be surprised if we

805
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 6: saw maybe some from the play calling seeded to say

806
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 6: Chuck Bagano, former defensive coordinator, secondary coach now and you know,

807
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 6: very involved in the meetings again John harbut then very

808
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 6: positive about Jack Orr and very positive about what he

809
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 6: has seen traumatically from this defense. But it's just not

810
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 6: ending up. At some point you've got to make a

811
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 6: change and that continue to see the case.

812
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: Yep.

813
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate too because not be might be gay is

814
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: just one of the premiere interior defensive linemen and you

815
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: hate to see that happen. But Brian, thank you so

816
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: much for your time today, and enjoy the game tomorrow.

817
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: We really appreciate you stopping by.

818
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 6: Thanks all, and enjoy your weekend.

819
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: Thanks Ryan.

820
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: All right, on the other side of this, we've got

821
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 2: the dues and that don't you're listening to Fox Football Saturday.

822
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: How did I know this is going to become a

823
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: theme for the day.

824
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 4: I love it.

825
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here dancing. You can't see me, but I

826
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 3: can dance. And Dancy Chris could confirm she's.

827
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: Thirteen year old.

828
00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: Thirteen year old Carmen's angsty arena rock even know, if

829
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 2: it's arena rock, it's rock.

830
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 8: Someone got someone got mad at me on Blue Sky

831
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 8: the other day for calling it butt rock. But like,

832
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 8: I don't know what else I'm supposed to call this

833
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 8: era of music.

834
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 2: I don't either, Like I just remember very distinctly being

835
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: in the back of my cousin's like ninety five Ford Mustang,

836
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: like just blasting nickelback, like down the Florida highwy because

837
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 2: that's where they lived.

838
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: I just I don't know, like that perfectly encompasses.

839
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 8: Monday Night football like eight different times last year too,

840
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 8: liked they were playing.

841

Speaker 1: Puddle also producing Monday Night Football Christmas.

842
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 9: I wish I was that would be that would be

843
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:36,200

844
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: But well, you're producing us here at Fox Sports right now.

845
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm crime vitally.

00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 2: That's Tracy Sandler, you Bo Benson in there, Monty Belanius

847
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 2: in the update booth.

848
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: We're having a bunch of fun.

849
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: And it is now time for the dudes and the

850
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 2: don'ts highlight.

851
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 7: I love that putting a spotlight on adult.

852
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: The subject brings me no joy. Don't do that, that's insane.

853
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 7: Next, I'm for the dues.

854
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: And the don'ts in sports.

855
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm gonna start Terry saying, I'm gonna start

856
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: with a don't okay, don't hold yourself back if you're

857
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: an NFL coach, because we need more coach beef. This

858
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: is going back now, a couple of forty nine ers

859
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 2: games ago, I guess, but it was only a week ago.

860
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: What wasn't even a week ago?

861
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 2: It was six days ago that Liam Cohen and Robert

862
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: Sala got into it after the jag Signers game, because

863
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: Sala went up to the podium and said that the

864
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: Jaguars are like really good at legally signs stealing, which,

865
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: by the way, is just like this whole it's it's

866
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 2: it's hysterical to me that Robert Sala decided to get

867
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: up there and say all this so much so that

868
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 2: like Kyle Shanahan had to come up later and just

869
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 2: be like do damage control. He didn't mean sign stealing.

870
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: He meant every team to pull back the curtain here.

871
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: Every team sends advanced scouts to their upcoming opponents game

872
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 2: the week before they play them, or maybe.

873
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: Two weeks before they play it. I think the NFL

874
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: rules allow you to do it up.

875
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 2: To two weeks before and essentially those scouts are looking for,

876
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: like can they pick up on some hand signals for

877
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 2: certain packages? Can they like they are usually up in

878
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: the press box, so like that is the view that

879
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 2: they are allowed. And they are trying to take as

880
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: many notes. And each team has their own system. Each

881
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: for an office has their own system. They have things

882
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: that they prioritize, they have things they try to get and.

883
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: How they do it and all that other stuff.

884
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: And so Sala got up there and said that, and

885
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: then after the game, Liam Cohen had some choice words

886
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: for Robert Sala, so much so that like Liam Cohen

887
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: had to be held back by one of his offensive linemen,

888
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: Robert Hainsey, bless.

889
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: You, Hanes.

890
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: Hanes is a good friend of mine. And it was

891
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: just hysterical because I'm like, really, you're having your own

892
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 2: players having a hold of coach back, your head coach back.

893
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: It's just hysterical. But I think it's good for the sport.

894
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: I want more coach beef. I would like more coach beef.

895
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: And him saying Robert Sala, keep your name out of

896
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: my mouth, I mean.

897
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 4: Your name out of that, or keep my name out.

898
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 2: Of your yeah, really it was good, and then Sala

899
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: responding with like, I will end your life like these guys.

900
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: Sala is amazing and he is great and I have

901
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: loved covering him both ten years as far as but

902
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 3: this is a this is a big tough guy and

903
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: I would not want him to tell me.

904
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 2: Also, the thing where it's like if you put Liam

905
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: Cohen next.

906
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 12: To Robert Salah, yeah, it's not gonna go.

907
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: You want to be picking a fight with Liam. I

908
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: don't know, like you're just it's not I don't know.

909
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 2: He's very intense. They're both obviously very intense. But I

910
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 2: think it's great for the sport.

911
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: I want more.

912
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 3: Coach b Well, I have a couple do and it's

913
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 3: a it's a backup quarterback to start or do and

914
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: that is Jackson Dart and Mac Jones just be yourselves.

915
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart watches The Bachelor Love Island, openly admits it

916
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 3: goes out and loves that. He's like, they're not guilty pleasures.

917
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 3: He just watches the TV wants to watch.

918
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: He's not guilty.

919
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 4: Jones and his suits killing it, killing the suit game.

920
00:40:59,000 --> 00:40:59,640

00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 1: Of the football season.

940
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 4: Let's get that trending hashtag Q one.

941
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll put up a post from Q one.

942
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 2: You know, everybody likes to do their little Instagram posts

943
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 2: like of the different quarters of the year, like that

944
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: and something in the sports world. We're with you, business brethren,

945
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 2: because this doesn't usually.

946
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: Need a whole lot in our world.

947
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 2: But I'm going to make it. Maybe I'll make it,

948
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: maybe I'll make it happen. I don't understand any of that.

949
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 2: That's why I went into being a writer, and that's

950
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 2: why I talk for a living because I don't get numbers.

951
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't get finance. Never learned how to balance a checkbook.

952
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: It's fine, well, all right, now that we are through

953
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 2: Q one, we're going into Week five. We already played

954
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 2: one game Niners Rams Thursday Night Football. There's a couple

955
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: of really good games this week that I want to

956
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: get to. I want to start with the Denver Broncos

957
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia to play the Eagles, because I mean, I

958
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: wonder if I want to go so far as to

959
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: say that the AFC West is what I thought the

960
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 2: NFC North was going to because I'm not entirely sure

961
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: that the NFC North.

962
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: Isn't what I thought it was.

963
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: Like, I do think it's the toughest division in football,

964
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 2: but you look at what's happening in the AFC West,

965
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: and how you know, the Chiefs have kind of left

966
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 2: the door open early in this eason for some of

967
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: these other teams in their division to get momentum, including

968
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: the Chargers, including the Denver Broncos, and now they're going

969
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: to play the powerhouse quote unquote, I guess in the NFC,

970
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 2: the only four and oh team in the NFC, and

971
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 2: they're playing them on the road at the Link, which

972
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: is a really fun place that might be one of

973
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: my favorite. That is one of my favorite stadiums. I

974
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 2: don't think it's my favorite. I think US Bank is

975
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 2: my favorite. But the Link is just where the Philadelphia

976
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: Eagles play, Like it's right in the city and it's

977
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 2: just so solid, like it's no frills.

978
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 4: It is no frills. It is it, but it's true.

979
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: Like it's easy to navigate. The vantage points are really good.

980
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 2: Where the press box is. The press box is chock

981
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: full of Philadelphia soft pretzels, which are some of my

982
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: favorite things in the world. Yes, it's true, and like

983
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 2: the field is nice and like it's just all really

984
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: what you want a football stadum to be. Like it

985
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 2: isn't frill, Like it's not Philly. There's not anything fancy

986
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: in it, but it's great. And maybe that's you know,

987
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: an indicator of where it is and you know, Philly

988
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: being the blue collar city it is with the grit

989
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: and the you know, rough and tumble. I just I

990
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: really like it there. But anyway, the Broncos going in

991
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: and we're still kind of I think Bonix is still

992
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 2: figuring a lot of stuff out. And when we talked,

993
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 2: when I talked about Mac Jones kind of dinking and

994
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 2: dunking his way down the field in what Kyle Shanahan.

995
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: Was asking him to do, that seems to.

996
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: Be the playbook that Sean Payton is kind of rolling

997
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 2: out for Bonicks this season. He's targeted the underneath portion

998
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 2: of the field, which is below ten air yards on

999
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: seventy point one percent of his pass attempts.

1000
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 4: Well, that's a lot that feels like, Yeah, it's the

1001
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 4: fifth highest.

1002
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: In the NFL in fact, and he's completing him, you know,

1003
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 2: at a great rate, has not been intercepted under ten yards,

1004
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 2: but his receivers are doing a lot of the work

1005
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 2: because sixty three point nine percent of his passing yards

1006
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 2: have come after the catch. So that's the second highest

1007
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,479
Speaker 2: share in the NFL of having that happen.

1008
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: But it's working. And then you have the Broncos.

1009
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: Defense though, which is kind of the headliner of this team,

1010
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 2: blitzing thirty five point seven percent of opposing dropbacks, which

1011
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 2: is the seventh highest rate in the league. And we

1012
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 2: know that Jalen Hurts you can you can very much

1013
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 2: get to Jalen Hurts. You can very much affect his

1014
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 2: game and what he wants to do when you blitz him.

1015
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 2: He's been blitzed thirty eight point one percent of dropbacks

1016
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 2: this season's second highest rate in the league. And when

1017
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: he has blitzed, Jalen Hurts average is just five point

1018
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 2: seven yards per attempt, which is the eighth lowest in

1019
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: the NFL. All stats courtesy of Next Gen. But that's

1020
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 2: that's the key matchup to me here for this Broncos

1021
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 2: Eagles game is this Denver decent defense is going to

1022
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 2: blitz the ever loving you know what out of Jalen Hurts.

1023
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 2: How does he respond? How does he handle that? Lane

1024
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: Johnson's gonna play. His offensive line seems to be relatively healthy,

1025
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 2: so hopefully they can mitigate that for the Eagles.

1026
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: But that's what it comes down to for me.

1027
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 3: I agree with you, and as I mentioned in the

1028
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 3: first hour, I feel like this Eagles offense is figuring

1029
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 3: itself out, figure out this identity, not just the AJ

1030
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 3: Brown cryptic tweets. It's just all kind of figure itself

1031
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 3: out in that is going to be where the Broncos

1032
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 3: can potentially come in and expose the offense. I look

1033
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 3: at this game for this Broncos team, not to be

1034
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 3: overly dramatic as we enter into Q two, but it

1035
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 3: feels like the game that makes the statement if they're

1036
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 3: for real, they and if they lose them saying they're not.

1037
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: But they go into Philly and their defense, you know, dominates.

1038
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: And they they can make a statement.

1039
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 4: They can make a statement.

1040
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 3: And I think you know, even with Bonus Nicks, Dunkin

1041
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 3: and Duncan on down the field, I think they can

1042
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 3: make a statements. This is a big game for the

1043
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos. I would say a bigger game for the

1044
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos than for the Philadelphia Eagles.

1045
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1046
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't think that the Eagles are going

1047
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 2: to end up going undefeated this year.

1048
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 4: Probably not.

1049
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 2: And also no one's going to look sideways at the

1050
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 2: Eagles if they lose to the Denver Broncos either.

1051
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think a J.

1052
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 4: Brown will if they don't throw them all.

1053
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's fair, that's fair, that's fair. Fair and I mean,

1054
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 2: you know, I talk a lot about kind of the

1055
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: Blitz packages or the Denver Broncos, but they've got a

1056
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: great secondary too. You have Patcher tan back there, arguably

1057
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 2: the best corner in the league. Him and Derek Stingley

1058
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 2: are one and two interchangeable depending on the week for me.

1059
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 2: But that's something that you know, it's it's we're going

1060
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: to see how that matches up with what they're trying

1061
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 2: to do.

1062
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: For AJ Brown. I have to imagine they're going to

1063
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: try to get the ball to him. They've been targeting.

1064
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 2: That's the issue though, is like that he's been targeted

1065
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: enough in my opinion, obviously not enough for him, but

1066
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 2: he hasn't caught the ball enough, and so like I

1067
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 2: get it, like he's not the production's not there for

1068
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: A J.

1069
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: Brown.

1070
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: I fully intend on them making that a priority though,

1071
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 2: because obviously it's just been a media frenzy slash circus

1072
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia because of it.

1073
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 3: And when you ask for the ball, though, you got

1074
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 3: to catch the ball deliver.

1075
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 4: This last year with Deebo, that was pretty much the

1076
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 4: beginning of the end.

1077
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 3: He tweeted something cryptic about not getting the ball next

1078
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 3: game they throw them the ball and keep played.

1079
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 4: He dropped it. So as for the ball, you got

1080
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 4: to catch it.

1081
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: You got yeah, you got to catch the ball.

1082
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 2: All right, another game I want to get to charge

1083
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 2: speak Chargers Commanders. Yes, I think this game kind of

1084
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 2: comes down to.

1085
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: Justin.

1086
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 2: I mean I want, like we've talked about, I want

1087
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 2: good things for Justin Herbert. I think he does really

1088
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: good things. He's been scrambling a whole lot more. He

1089
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 2: scrambled to run on a career high five point eight

1090
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 2: percent of his dropbacks this season, so he's scrambling more

1091
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 2: than he ever has. But he's turned ten of those

1092
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: scramble runs into ninety five yards and four first downs,

1093
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: which includes three explosive games of ten yards or more.

1094
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: That's what an explosive game. That's how you qualify that.

1095
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: So I that's to me.

1096
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, great, Justin Herbert is now becoming

1097
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 2: a dual threat quarterback and adding to and we talked

1098
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 2: about how Amari and Hampton kind of had his breakout

1099
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 2: game and that lost to the Giants, So like, between

1100
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 2: him and Justin Herbert, this run game could be pretty decent.

1101
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 2: And then you look at how the Commanders have fail

1102
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 2: against scramblers. So scrambling quarterbacks allowed to league high eight

1103
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: point eight expected yards per carry to opposing scramblers this season.

1104
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 2: So they're giving it up and Justin Herbert's doing it.

1105
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: So like to me, that's again, if I'm going to

1106
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 2: isolate one matchup here between these two teams, it's Justin

1107
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 2: Herbert being an effective scrambler and the Commander is not

1108
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 2: knowing what.

1109
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: To do with it.

1110
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 3: And I think another thing to look at for both

1111
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 3: teams is wide receivers of no Terry McLaurin. For the Commanders,

1112
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels comes back, but without Let's come back without

1113
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 3: his guy, But can Deebo be an X factor? And

1114
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 3: then for the Chargers you have Lad McConkie coming off

1115
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: not a great game for him, I'm gonna say that nicely,

1116
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 3: and so can he step up? And when Justin Herbert

1117
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 3: is not scrambling, can he can he you know, make

1118
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 3: the catches he needs to make?

1119
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 4: This is this is a big game.

1120
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 3: It's a big game for both teams because the great

1121
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 3: football saying, don't let one become two, and the Chargers

1122
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 3: don't want to do that.

1123
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 4: And then the Commanders are not quite quite where they

1124
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 4: were last year.

1125
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 3: Again we are early, just head into Q two, but

1126
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 3: an important game for both teams to to make sure

1127
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 3: they stay on track.

1128
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 2: And the fact that the Chargers defense if you're if

1129
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna cook up kind of a weakness for them.

1130
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 2: We've been missiling, missing tackles quite a bit this season.

1131
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 2: And when you talk about Jane Daniels coming back for

1132
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders and how good of a scrambler he is,

1133
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 2: that worries me. Second highest rate misstackle rate in the

1134
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: NFL for the Chargers defense.

1135
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: Uh okay, last one.

1136
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 3: I want to get wait one other thing on the

1137
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 3: Chargers defense really quick. They have not had a turnover

1138
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: since they played the Rams, so they're gonna this is

1139
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 3: an opportunity for them to try to make that happen.

1140
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: They come in bunches sometimes they do.

1141
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 2: They come in bunches sometimes all right, And then Pats

1142
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: Bills I think could be interesting mm hmm.

1143
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: And in looking through some of.

1144
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 2: The stats on this game, Next Gen had an insight

1145
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: in here which I found fascinating that I want to

1146
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 2: get to because essentially Drake may Is is Josh Allen Jr.

1147
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: Right now.

1148
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot is going to be right on Drake

1149
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 2: Bag in this passing game for the New England Patriots.

1150
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: But Josh Allen and Drake May rank first and second

1151
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: in the NFL and drop back EPA this season, and

1152
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 2: Alan and May have both averaged seven point one aer

1153
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 2: yards per attempt. They've used play action at nearly the

1154
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: exact same rate Allen twenty four point eight percent. They've

1155
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: targeted between the numbers similarly as well, and scrambled to

1156
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,399
Speaker 2: run at a high rate ten point five percent for Allen,

1157
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: which is the fifth highest and nine point nine percent

1158
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 2: for May, which is the sixth highest. So like they

1159
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 2: are essentially, at least from.

1160
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 4: The metrics, they're like the same person, same quarterback.

1161
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 3: They're like the Spider Man meme looking at each other.

1162
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: And I like a huge difference in this is that

1163
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 2: the fact that the Pats have not got their ground

1164
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 2: game going. They've they like they're just they These Patriots

1165
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 2: rushers are just meeting resistance before they even get to

1166
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. And whereas like the Bills have

1167
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 2: James Cook and they've they've gotten their run game going

1168
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 2: a little bit more. But the Bills have a terrible

1169
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 2: rushing defense. They do here, which you know Brian talked

1170
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: about earlier last hour. But that's and and it's true.

1171
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: I mean that the stats back it up. They've allowed

1172
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 2: an explosive rush at the highest rate in the NFL

1173
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 2: this season, so guys are.

1174
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: Just gashing them.

1175
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 2: But the Patriots haven't been able to really do that

1176
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 2: against anyone so far this year. So can they do

1177
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 2: that and supplement what Drake May needs because all of

1178
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: this is riding on Drake May. And like, the only

1179
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 2: difference between Drake May and Josh Allen right now, apparently

1180
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 2: is that Josh Allen also has.

1181
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: A run game list.

1182
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 3: Yes, that is per for the stats, per the stats,

1183
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 3: that is that is very true. You know, last time

1184
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,399
Speaker 3: they played each other, they blitzed May into oblivion. He

1185
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 3: completed six of his six team attempts against the blitz

1186
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 3: and through an interception.

1187
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 4: Not ideal.

1188
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting for not ideal for Drake May,

1189
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 3: of course, but it'd be interesting to see if the

1190
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 3: Bills continue with that obviously very different team this year

1191
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 3: of the Patriots. So it's gonna it's gonna be fun.

1192
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 3: But can they get the run game going. I don't know,

1193
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 3: I have I have a hard time leaving, and probably

1194
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 3: because I say it, it will happen. I just have a

1195
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 3: hard time believing that the Bills are going to lose

1196
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 3: this game.

1197
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 2: I do too, but you know, stranger things have happened

1198
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: night write any given Sunday, there are division rivals. Their

1199
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 2: division teams are very familiar with each other. I feel

1200
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 2: like that's where things can go awry. You can get

1201
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 2: in these little trap games. You can like like upset alert.

1202
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 2: If I'm looking for an upset this week, I don't know.

1203
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: I think I think it could happen, but like I

1204
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 2: fully expect the Bills to win.

1205
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 1: But I like the Patriots just because I like.

1206
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 12: Drink may which is really fair.

1207
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 4: I mean, Josh Allen Jr.

1208
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 1: Great guy, Josh Allen Junior. He's Josh Allen Junior. Not

1209
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: that I want to put that on the kid. Oh

1210
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: dear God. Okay, Well, we're going to talk about.

1211
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: Another AFC division on the other side of this, because

1212
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: the AFC North, which many of us, including myself, thought

1213
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 2: was going to be one of the toughest divisions in football,

1214
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: isn't quite stacking up that way, and there might be

1215
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 2: a new team that we're pegging for the top of

1216
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 2: that division will talk about it right after this, you're

1217
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: listening to Fox Football Saturday. This is in no way

1218
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 2: taking of my current taste in music.

1219
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get that out there right now.

1220
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 2: But as our technical producer Chris Burfett pointed out to me,

1221
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 2: this song Headstrong played on the broadcast the Sunday night

1222
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 2: broadcast this past weekend.

1223
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 8: Apparently, Yeah, I heard it from the other room, like

1224
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 8: during Packers Cowboys of like, I know the first the

1225
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 8: first lick of that guitar immediately.

1226
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 9: Oh, it's like a Bud Rocks having a moment coming back.

1227
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: It's like the it's.

1228
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 2: Like the if you ever see like the reels or

1229
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 2: the tiktoks where it's like the sounds that like only

1230
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 2: millennials can hear, and it's like the opening notes to

1231
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: so many of those songs, and you're just like you

1232
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 2: perk up, You're like a groundhog out of the ground.

1233
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: Like, what where is that coming from? I'm Carna Batally

1234
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: that chuckling is Tracy Sandler chuckling?

1235
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 4: I Like, you've so many things say chuckling Q one.

1236
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, who knows what's going on in that brain

1237
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: of mine right now? Just a whole swirl of a

1238
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: bunch stuff.

1239
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 4: That's the fun of it.

1240
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 2: That's the fun of it. Weeding through it is the

1241
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 2: fun of it. Uh, and you know it's it makes

1242
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 2: for hopefully it makes.

1243
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,400

1254
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 2: Bud Rock on the dial, where you're actually you know,

1255
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 2: analog days, analog days. I want to talk about the

1256
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 2: AFC North.

1257
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 4: Tracy, Let's do it.

1258
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: Because it hasn't been what we thought it was gonna be.

1259
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 4: No, so far the show, No, it definitely has not.

1260
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 2: And so much of that has to do with injuries.

1261
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 2: I am heartbroken still for the Cincinnati Bengals and for

1262
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow who is out with turf toe for the

1263
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 2: foreseeable future, which we need a better descriptor of what

1264
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 2: turf too actually is. It is a tear in the

1265
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 2: ligament of your big toe, which you use to push off,

1266
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: you use for balance, you use for any sort of

1267
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 2: like just walking around. It's a horrendous injury and depending

1268
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 2: on this verity, can take a long time to recover from.

1269
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: And that's what's going on with Joe Burrow the Ravens.

1270
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 2: You know, Lamar is out with this hamstring issue or

1271
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 2: like an amalgamation of issues that we heard Brian Wacker

1272
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 2: talk about last hour, and there's just a whole lot

1273
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 2: of stuff going on in Baltimore. I want to go

1274
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: a little bit further into that though, because I mean

1275
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 2: the defense in particular in Baltimore, which again is part

1276
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 2: of that team's identity, has been depleted so heavily by

1277
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 2: injuries a season. Talked about nom de Matta Bouquet in

1278
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 2: the interior of that line. Just I mean, all pro

1279
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 2: you know, Pro Bowl guy like you cannot make up

1280
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 2: for a loss like that at the very center of

1281
00:56:56,120 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 2: your defense with just one guy. And j had a

1282
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 2: stat week one starters account for just fifty two point

1283
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 2: five percent of defensive snaps in Week four accounted for.

1284
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: Wow, just fifty two.

1285
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 2: So just you basically only have half your defensive starters

1286
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 2: out there, which is the lowest rate in the NFL,

1287
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 2: and it's nearly seven percentage points lower than the next

1288
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 2: closest team, which is actually the Dallas Cowboys. And so

1289
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 2: it's just it's one of those things where like, yeah,

1290
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 2: of course they're struggling. Yeah, and then you have some

1291
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 2: offensive line issues and that's leading to obviously, like Lamar

1292
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 2: Jackson before he got hurt, every major metric you know,

1293
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 2: lean the league or top three, this, that the other.

1294
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: But he can't do it alone.

1295
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 2: And somehow they haven't integrated Derek Henry in the way

1296
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 2: that they should. I think a lot of that has

1297
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 2: to do with the offensive line issues that they've had.

1298
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 2: The good news is that the Ravens are playing the

1299
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 2: Houston Texans this week. I don't even say that facetiously,

1300
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 2: like Derek Henry does really well against.

1301
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 4: The Texans, No, I don't.

1302
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 3: It's just it's just I more chuckle because that wasn't

1303
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 3: the case. You know, you wouldn't necessarily have said that

1304
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 3: in the last couple of years and they've just no fallen.

1305
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 3: And yes, he does do very well against the Texans,

1306
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 3: but the lamar hamstring thing. You know, hamstrings are tough

1307
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 3: and they linger and they can come back, and it's

1308
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 3: concerning for the season as a whole. The other thing

1309
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 3: is you really gotta let that heal so he could

1310
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 3: be out. I mean, I don't know how severe it is,

1311
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 3: but he could be out several weeks.

1312
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know.

1313
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 2: Like ham strings are just and like it's not like

1314
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 2: it's not even like person it is person dependent, but.

1315
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: It's like it's weak to week dependent.

1316
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: Like you could think that he's on track to return

1317
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 2: in two weeks and then two weeks goes by and

1318
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, nope, definitely not like just you have

1319
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 2: no sort of time frame for hamstring injuries usually, yeah,

1320
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 2: And hamstring injuries also leave you susceptible to so many

1321
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 2: other injuries. They leave you susceptible to knee injuries, They

1322
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 2: leave you susceptible to even like achilles injuries, just with

1323
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 2: the way that all the ligaments work together. And that's

1324
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: another reason why you never want to rush someone back

1325
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 2: with a hamstring injury. And we saw that like Lamar

1326
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 2: Jackson looked more hesitant to run through the first few

1327
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 2: weeks of the season, and now clearly we know why,

1328
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 2: just like Brian pointed out.

1329
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, so, I mean, it's just.

1330
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 2: A series of unfortunate events for the Baltimore Ravens not

1331
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 2: looking like what we thought they were going to look like.

1332
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean the Browns.

1333
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 2: The Browns defense great, the Browns defense is elite. Clearly

1334
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 2: they've got some things to figure out offensively, but everybody

1335
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 2: saw that coming. Yes, What I really want to get

1336
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 2: to is the fact that I think the Pittsburgh Steelers

1337
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 2: kind of look like the favorite in this division.

1338
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: Now.

1339
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 3: They sure do, and I definitely didn't think that was

1340
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 3: going to be the case because I did not want

1341
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 3: to accept that Aaron Rodgers was gonna work.

1342
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 2: Okay, I have some stats on this though, Tracy. I

1343
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 2: don't think we need to accept that Aaron Ross was

1344
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 2: going to.

1345
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 4: Work, thank God. I honestly, I just am not ready

1346
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 4: for it.

1347
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 2: He has a negative EPA per dropback, negative total EPA.

1348
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 4: This is a negative attitude. Sorry.

1349
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Also that he's sitting.

1350
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 2: At a forty one percent passing success rate and his

1351
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 2: completion rate over expectation is just one point six percent,

1352
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 2: which ranks him sixteenth in the league, behind guys like

1353
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 2: Jake Browning and Spencer Rattler. So like, and then if

1354
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 2: you look at that game against the Vikings, I do

1355
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 2: think some of this is specific to the Vikings, given

1356
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 2: how much they blitz and how much they pressure and

1357
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 2: how you just want to get the ball out as

1358
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: quickly as possible. Average time to throw up two point

1359
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,919
Speaker 2: one seven seconds across twenty two passes in Week four,

1360
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 2: which was his quickest average since at least twenty sixteen.

1361
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 2: But that has proved to be kind of a like

1362
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 2: a pattern with Aaron Rodgers so far this season in Pittsburgh,

1363
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 2: because he's averaging just two point six air yards per

1364
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 2: attempt and he's relying a lot on his wide receivers

1365
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 2: for those yards after catch to like make up for

1366
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 2: his passing yards. Heading into the game against the Vikings

1367
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 2: in Dublin, he had gained a league high seventy two

1368
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 2: point three percent of his passing yards via yards after

1369
01:00:58,760 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: the catch.

1370
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: You, so a lot of this is what his.

1371
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 2: Receivers are doing for him. So we don't necessarily need

1372
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 2: to be sold on Aaron Rodgers.

1373
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying, which I and I appreciate that,

1374
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 3: but I just was thinking as you were talking about

1375
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 3: that too, like I feel like so much has actually

1376
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,959
Speaker 3: happened in these first several weeks. We've really not talked

1377
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 3: about Aaron Rodgers, like he has not been the center

1378
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 3: of discussion as he likes to be. And so it

1379
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 3: is kind of funny that the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron

1380
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 3: Rodgers are quietly leading the AFC North and looking like

1381
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 3: a contender.

1382
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 4: But because I was just thinking about them, like so

1383
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 4: much has happened.

1384
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 3: There have been so many injuries and maybe I'm just

1385
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 3: not remembering, but it feels like an inordinate amount of

1386
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 3: injuries in these first several weeks, especially to.

1387
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 4: Such key star players.

1388
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 3: It just hasn't been the Aaron Rodgers show. And maybe

1389
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 3: that's better, I mean, certainly better for Pittsburgh if they

1390
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 3: could quietly move along.

1391
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would much rather, especially with the big personalities

1392
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 2: on this team. The fact that this team is quietly

1393
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 2: I know, it's kind of amazing chugging along, but a

1394
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 2: lot of it too, I mean, it's still has to

1395
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 2: do with the defense. The defense will always be the

1396
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 2: identity of this team. Fifth and sack rate sixth and

1397
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 2: pressure percentage. The defense is doing what we expect them

1398
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: to do. And so if you just have a serviceable offense,

1399
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's been the memo of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1400
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 2: Forever you get to a winning record, you eake into

1401
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs more years than you don't, and you don't

1402
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:23,479
Speaker 2: do much after that. But I mean, if they really

1403
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 2: have figured out something with Aaron Rodgers, and you have

1404
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 2: guys like DK Metcalf that they seem to be clicking

1405
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 2: pretty well, I like, and Kenneth Gainwell in this game

1406
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 2: against the Vikings over in Ireland, carried them all nineteen

1407
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 2: times for ninety nine yards, two touchdowns, thirty two rushing

1408
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 2: yards over expected.

1409
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: In that game alone.

1410
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 2: And so you're like, all right, if you can figure

1411
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 2: out a well balanced offense, a well balanced, productive offense,

1412
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 2: especially with the fact that your division isn't as hard

1413
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 2: as we initially thought it was going to be. Now

1414
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 2: the doors wide open for the Pittsburgh Steelers to win

1415
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 2: this division and to actually win a playoff game and

1416
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 2: to make an actual postseason run this year.

1417
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 3: What you said serviceable offense, I was just thinking of

1418
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns and how they do have such a

1419
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 3: great defense and they cannot seem to put together a

1420
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 3: serviceable offense, because that is a real opportunity for them.

1421
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 2: If we took the if we if we, if we

1422
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 2: gave Joe Burrow another ligament or two, and we like

1423
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 2: took the Bengals offense and put it with the Browns defense,

1424
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 2: and like Frankenstein's monstered teams in the AFC North, we

1425
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 2: could build a pre cont.

1426
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 4: I mean, that'd be amazing. I mean, they're both in Ohio.

1427
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? That's what I'm saying.

1428
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 3: I mean, wouldn't they rather have one good team than

1429
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 3: two bad ones.

1430
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you have you have the Bengals defense

1431
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 2: wasting that performance last year with the with the Bengals offense,

1432
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 2: and then yeah, you have the Browns offense wasting the Browns.

1433
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 4: Not a bad idea, I'll s Garrett, there's our pitch.

1434
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: There's our pitch, just Frankenstein's monster together.

1435
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 2: Let's also go to the Update studio with Monty Blanias

1436
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 2: for an update break, Carmen, that.

1437
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 11: Is a great idea, such a great idea.

1438
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 12: I don't know how nobody jumps on it. You know,

1439
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 12: they both would say yes.

1440
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I think they would. They would silent.

1441
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 2: We're proposed, let's propose this at the NFL Winter Meeting.

1442
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 11: I really think both of you should go in there

1443
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 11: and absolutely for the lit sprigles.

1444
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 12: Everybody would be like, oh what that sounds like a

1445
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 12: good idea. What's the bad part here? There isn't one.

1446
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 11: We'll start in college football, ladies, because I.

1447
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 12: Don't know what's going on.

1448
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 11: But UCLA is rolling, and I mean rolling over Number

1449
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 11: seven Pence State.

1450
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 12: Nico Il Maliava has thrown for one hundred and.

1451
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 11: Fifty eight yards, two touchdowns, he's got a rushing touchdown,

1452
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 11: and they're on top of Penn State twenty seven to seven.

1453
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 11: Penn State got the ball to start the second half

1454
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 11: and they fumbled, So that's where that's going.

1455
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 12: Twenty seven to seven is the score.

1456
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 11: When it comes to number nine Texas, just one touchdown

1457
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 11: pass from Arch Manning. They're losing to Florida nineteen to seven.

1458
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 11: They just got going in the third as well. Boise

1459
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 11: State losing to number twenty one Notre Dame fourteen to seven,

1460
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 11: and twenty four Virginia and Louisville are tied at fourteen.

1461
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 11: All of these games early in the third quarter. At

1462
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 11: the half, Number sixteen Vanderbilt and number ten Alabama are

1463
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 11: tied at fourteen a piece. One upset so far today,

1464
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 11: as Cincinnati had the upset over number fourteen Iowa State

1465
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 11: thirty eight to thirty.

1466
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 12: When it comes to base ball, well, the Brewers just

1467
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 12: keep on rolling too.

1468
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 11: They took some time off and they still defeated the Cubs.

1469
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 11: It didn't matter nine three in Game one of the NLDS,

1470
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 11: while the Yankees, Luis Hill, who started I think I

1471
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 11: said that right on the mound for them, only lasted

1472
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 11: about two innings.

1473
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 12: They took him off already.

1474
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 11: Blue Jays up on the Yankees two zero after five innings.

1475
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 12: An update on.

1476
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 11: Mark Sanchez who In case if you missed it, Mark Sanchez,

1477
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 11: former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports broadcaster. He was

1478
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 11: hospitalized after being stabbed in Indianapolis early Saturday morning. It

1479
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 11: was reported that he was recovering in stable condition, but

1480
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 11: he wasn't going to be part of the broadcast crew

1481
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 11: between the Raiders and the Colts for Sunday's game. The

1482
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 11: update is that the police department in Indianapolis has made

1483
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 11: a statement that they have arrested Mark Sanchez for his

1484
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 11: role in the incident that happened. He was arrested on

1485
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 11: battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and

1486
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 11: public intoxication.

1487
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 12: So things have taken a turn.

1488
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: Things have taken have taken a.

1489
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 4: Turn, definitely.

1490
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 11: I don't know where the biggest turn is, whether it's

1491
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 11: here or from the Bruins.

1492
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 12: I'm not sure.

1493
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 4: Back to you gals, the world is turning.

1494
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: That we know, as the world turn.

1495
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 12: As the world turn.

1496
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 2: You know what the NFL is is our greatest soap opera.

1497
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 2: I really long said that it is. It is our

1498
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 2: greatest reality show. It is our greatest soap opera. We are,

1499
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 2: of course still glad that Mark Sanchez. Yes, yes, However,

1500
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 2: there's clearly more to come and more to that story. Uh,

1501
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 2: there is more to the story of the Buffalo Bills,

1502
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 2: and for that we have team reporter for the Buffalo

1503
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 2: Bills on right now.

1504
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Talk to us.

1505
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 2: Made so excited. Oh we're so great. How are you doing?

1506
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 2: More importantly, we were just actually we just talked at

1507
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 2: length about how dominant the Bills have looked through the

1508
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 2: first quarter of the season.

1509
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: How are vibes there in Buffalo?

1510
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 13: Mads the vibes are high right now. People are really

1511
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 13: excited about how the team is doing. But at the

1512
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 13: same time, everybody knows they haven't played their best ball yet.

1513
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 13: And I know people want to see their bust ball,

1514
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 13: but in week five, you don't want to be playing

1515
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 13: your best football yet. You want to peak at the

1516
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 13: right time. And it is only the beginning of October,

1517
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 13: a lot of time left in the season.

1518
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 3: I would agree that that's actually an interesting You're right,

1519
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 3: you really do want to peak.

1520
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: At the right's not like someone who's been there before.

1521
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone.

1522
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: We're not satisfied with this.

1523
01:07:55,120 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 3: And someone who has been through cautious optimism. That's exactly

1524
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 3: Carbon was saying earlier that Drake May is looking a

1525
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 3: lot like Josh Allen.

1526
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 4: Not to totally put that on him, but what.

1527
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 3: Are you hearing this teason statistically, Not they'll look like

1528
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 3: but statistically, what are you hearing this week about, you know,

1529
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 3: from the Bills defense and what they think the greatest

1530
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 3: challenge with him is going to be.

1531
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,759
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean May's numbers are very similar to Josh Allen.

1532
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 13: To start this season. May has been somebody who has

1533
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 13: been compared to Josh Allen. O relaxed, you know season

1534
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 13: and now a few weeks as he's in his second

1535
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 13: NFL season, just because of his ability to be mobile

1536
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 13: in the pocket. I think the good thing with that

1537
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 13: is the Bill to face mobile quarterbacks the season. You know,

1538
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:42,879
Speaker 13: first week of the NFL calendar, they face Lamar Jackson,

1539
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 13: and our defense gets to practice against Josh Allen every

1540
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 13: single day, so they get to see one of the

1541
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,679
Speaker 13: most mobile quarterbacks every week. But just because the Patriots

1542
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 13: are two and two, this defense, Buffalo's defense is not

1543
01:08:56,439 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 13: overlooking them at all because Drake May has been really

1544
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 13: good to start the year, and one of the matchups

1545
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 13: within the matchup itself that I'm really interested in is

1546
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 13: Drake May is the best quarterback right now on late down,

1547
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,879
Speaker 13: third and fourth downs, completing eighty three percent of his passes,

1548
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 13: which is incredible.

1549
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 11: The Bills have.

1550
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 13: Struggled defensively on third down to start the season. They

1551
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 13: ranked twenty fifth, allowing a forty two percent conversion rate.

1552
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 13: So I'm really interested to see if the defense is

1553
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 13: up for the challenge when facing a quarterback that knows

1554
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 13: where to go on those late downs. The Patriots have

1555
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 13: been doing an incredible job of spreading the ball out.

1556
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 13: They've really been relying on the passing game because Drake

1557
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,639
Speaker 13: May has been completing so many passes, I mean, seventy

1558
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 13: four percent completion percentage. Buffalo's pass defense best in the NFL,

1559
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 13: So you're going to see a lot of best on

1560
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 13: best matchups within this game.

1561
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 2: Pass defense yes, awesome, Run defense no, No, not so

1562
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 2: awesome for the Buffalo Bills right now. Granted, the Patriots

1563
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 2: run game has not really been a to get going well.

1564
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 2: When you look at the season as a whole and

1565
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 2: you look towards the season and not peaking right now

1566
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 2: and trying to sustain the success down the road, what

1567
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 2: needs to happen for the Bills to kind of tighten

1568
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 2: it up against the run defensively to kind of keep

1569
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 2: this momentum going.

1570
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's been interesting to start the season because this

1571
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 13: defensive line that the Buffalo Bills have is not a

1572
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 13: complete picture yet. We have two defensive linemen that are

1573
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 13: serving six game suspensions right now in Michael Boyd and

1574
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 13: Larry I'll get Jobi so they'll be back in the

1575
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 13: fold soon enough. But our defensive staff has had to

1576
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 13: rely on very young defensive players to start the season,

1577
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 13: especially on the defensive line. Ed Oliver has missed a

1578
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 13: few games with an ankle injury. He's questionable for this game.

1579
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 13: We saw him in a first game and he was

1580
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:52,679
Speaker 13: great against the Ravens. But it's been interesting because they've

1581
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 13: been making it work with different pieces and once we

1582
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 13: get into week six, I think this defensive line will

1583
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 13: really start to come together. But you can't take any

1584
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 13: breaks in the NFL, so you have to be able

1585
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 13: to put a good product on the field. And what

1586
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 13: our defensive coordinator has said as it relates to stopping

1587
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 13: the run is we have to be better at being

1588
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 13: in our gaps and executing our assignments correctly. This is

1589
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 13: a defensive line that also has two new coaches a

1590
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 13: part of the defensive line staff. We out of the

1591
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 13: senior defensive assistant and most assistant defensive line coach. So

1592
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 13: the group as a whole, it's playing with a different

1593
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 13: mentality this year, So I think it's going to take

1594
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 13: a little bit of time to really understand the rush

1595
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 13: plan as a whole, including what they need to just

1596
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 13: stop the run. And the first game against the Ravens,

1597
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,560
Speaker 13: they struggled. They allowed like more than two hundred and

1598
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 13: thirty rushing yards on the ground. So that's one of

1599
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 13: the reasons why that number is a bit hued to

1600
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 13: this point. But the Patriots could look at that and say,

1601
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 13: you know what, we haven't really leaned on our run

1602
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 13: games to start the season, but we're going to try

1603
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 13: and do that against the Bills. So even though the

1604
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 13: Patriots have been passing the ball, I really think the

1605
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 13: Bills defense has to be ready for them to try

1606
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 13: and run it with ramand j Stevenson and trade on Henderson.

1607
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 3: This is a really good matchup and a divisional matchup.

1608
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a great game to watch.

1609
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 3: When you talked at the top of this segment Maddie

1610
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 3: about you know not you want to peek at the

1611
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 3: right time, and Carmen meant said, somebody who's gone through it,

1612
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 3: is there this feeling in the building of like we're

1613
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 3: really we're just not satisfied no matter how good we

1614
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 3: are in the regular season, we have to keep our

1615
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 3: eye on the prize here because we're not satisfied with how.

1616
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 4: Things have ended.

1617
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 13: Yes, I think you know, the Bills are undefeated right

1618
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 13: now at four and oh, and they are not satisfied

1619
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 13: with how they're playing. Yet there might be a game

1620
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 13: that comes hopefully soon where it looks like they've put

1621
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 13: it together on both sides of the football. But this

1622
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,520
Speaker 13: is a team who expects to go deep into the playoffs.

1623
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 13: And it's a team who's been successful in years past.

1624
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 13: I mean five straight AFP East titles, they've dominated the

1625
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 13: AFP East. But they know like there's still a lot

1626
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 13: left out there for them. This is your team who

1627
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 13: has not made it to the super Bowl yet with

1628
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 13: Josh Allen and Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean, and that's

1629
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 13: their goal. That's what they want to do, and they

1630
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 13: know they have to play really, really good football to

1631
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 13: get there. And they also understand, like, hey, whin your

1632
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 13: division games and that's going to give you your best

1633
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 13: shot at making the playoffs.

1634
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 6: So they're not.

1635
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 13: Overlooking this game at all. They know that it's very

1636
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 13: important and they know they're facing a good team led

1637
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 13: by Mike Rabel. I mean, you add Mike Rabel into

1638
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 13: the folds and you get a whole different vibe with

1639
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 13: him at the helm. It is a tough vibe. It

1640
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 13: is a vibe of we're going to play really good

1641
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 13: defense and we know what we're doing on that side

1642
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:43,839
Speaker 13: of the ball, and they have some nice offensive pieces

1643
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,919
Speaker 13: as well. So I think the Bills are their toughest

1644
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 13: cliff critics when it comes to are we playing our

1645
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 13: best football yet? And if not, how do we get

1646
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 13: to a place where we're doing that at the right

1647
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 13: point in this season?

1648
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 2: Like I said, spoken like someone who's been there before.

1649
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 2: For the record, I would just like to say that publicly.

1650
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 2: I have gone on record now multiple times saying that

1651
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be the Bills here. I

1652
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,800
Speaker 2: think they are going to the super Bowl. I would

1653
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,719
Speaker 2: let I have Bills Packers as my super Bowl matchup,

1654
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 2: which I think would just be incredibly fun. This is

1655
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 2: incredibly fun. Thank you so much, Maddie for coming on

1656
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 2: with us. Have so much fun at the game tomorrow,

1657
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 2: and we'll see how it goes and we'll see just

1658
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 2: when the Buffalo Bills are going to peak.

1659
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

1660
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 13: Thanks, ladies, appreciate it.

1661
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 4: Bye, Maddie.

1662
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,559
Speaker 1: All right, We've got one more segment. Just flies by,

1663
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 1: It just flies by.

1664
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about what made us laugh in

1665
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 2: sports this week. Coming up after the break. You're listening

1666

Speaker 8: Not scoln Park is having another moment right now, are they?

1670
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 9: Yes, I don't know.

1671
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 8: Maybe among my friends, a lot of younger guys getting

1672
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 8: back into it.

1673
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: They're discovering it then. I mean, I love Lincoln Park.

1674
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,799
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna say anything, but this is just it's

1675
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:16,560
Speaker 2: it's the meme of like the Michael Bay film.

1676
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: I was a big fan of the uh what was

1677
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: it the it was jay Z and Lincoln Park. What

1678
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 1: was it called?

1679
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 2: It was like, well, the song was on Courtnum but

1680
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 2: like they had like a whole Crosommer album thing where

1681
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 2: they like combined two of their albums.

1682
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: Yes, so.

1683
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah that one. You're welcome.

1684
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 9: One of the greatest albums ever made.

1685
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Hybrid theory. There it is, there, it is we were

1686
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 1: all ever made ever.

1687
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 8: Yes, I will argue that she probably changed how we

1688
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 8: thought about rock for that entire decade.

1689
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 4: I have to go back and listen to that.

1690
