1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL podcast. Never a game from the

2
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: Chris Westling podcast studio. It's the Around the NFL Podcast.

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Hansas with me some heroes, Greg rosval Mark Sessler,

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: and I know boys that your teams were not on

5
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: the right side of the Ledger on this Sunday, but

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: I do. I have to say I'm in a good

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: mood because the Jets weren't involved and that's where we're

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: at with my fan and when they don't play, my

9
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: life's better. Maybe that's something. Maybe the Chris Westling dossier

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: about the Bengals like this is kind of what he

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: was getting at more above the treetops that said I'll

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: never leave my fandom, but I get why it's probably

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: a healthier move. I always thought moving to the West

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: Coast from the East Coast where we all grew up. Um,

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: the games start at ten am, and you know, typically

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: the Jets and Browns and Patriots would be on at

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: ten am, and you'd go back in the day before

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: we started doing this, I'd go watch them the Browns

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: get Shelax somewhere. But the great thing was you're you know,

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: the the butt kicking ends around one pm, and you

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: still have the rest of your Sunday. Uh. When you're here,

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: you're sort of still just doused in the ill. Yeah,

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's you got people laughing and giggling throughout

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: the office. I don't know what you're talking about. First

25
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: of all, I only see I mean as a as

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: an l A like fan was two thousand one, you know,

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: the greatest, But you've had a broad I was gonna

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: say the Patriots, Yeah, sure they lost, but have you

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: noticed they leave the league in moral victories? And I'm

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: more of like a fan of football. I'm like Rob Low,

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, with the the NFL on the on, it's

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: like they're really providing great entertainment, great ratings, and big

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: time games. So I think the Patriots are winners. I

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: feel like you've taken a pill and you're saying exactly

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: what certain people want you to say. Um, all right,

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Week six in the NFL, we're gonna go through every game.

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Coming up a little but a little bit later is

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: Nick Shook our buddy. Um, who's gonna help us out? Now?

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: The gating the day that was in the NFL market

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: to have you back for Sunday show. We are feeling good.

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: I think we need to stop the marks back for

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: each iteration of what we do. I think it's people.

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: It's probably tiring Thursday Night recap. This Thursday, Thursday Night

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: recap with an underman Browns team and a virtual must win,

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm going to have a good Mark

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Sesler show lined up. Will happen. It's actually you don't

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: have to even do it. It's gonna be Mark and

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: Ernest Biner for Broncos Browns. We can pull it off.

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: You can have the night off time. I would marinate

50
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: in that. All right, let's get to it. Let's start,

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: yes with the moral victory of the day. It went

52
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: down at Gillette Stadium. Flight fake boot to the right,

53
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: looking down the pail, lamp him five victory. The ghosts

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: are exorcized. Brad Sham the sham God k R with

55
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: the call for the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network Dak Prescott

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: connected with Ceedee Lamb on a thirty five yard touchdown

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: passing overtime, the winning score in a win for the

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys over the Patriots. The Cowboys have now

59
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: won five straight games, and then this one. They overcame

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: a litany of mistakes penalties for the most part, some

61
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: turnovers as well, and they outlast. Yes, there are no

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: moral victories in our league, but it was a very

63
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: game Patriots team that battled in this game and greg

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: one of the most exciting games of the year broke

65
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: out out of nowhere. The Cowboys dominated for most of

66
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: the contest and regulation, then uh the game changed with

67
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and four minutes of play in the fourth quarter. Uh.

68
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: And in the end Pat's got the ball, couldn't do

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: anything in overtime, and then the Cowboys took over. It

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: felt inevitable, at least to me. After the fourth and

71
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: four Layton regulation, Patriots trying to get the Cowboys off

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: the field and Dak Prescott drops back to pass and

73
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Judan wins with an inside spin move immediately like

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: that was the play, That was the move that you

75
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: gave Matthew Judan all that money for. He could have

76
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: been the hero. He is on Dak Prescott and under

77
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: two seconds Dak sees it, gets rid of the ball

78
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: a little quicker than he wants and delivers a perfect

79
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: throw that only Cedric Wilson could catch. And Cedric Wilson

80
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: makes an even better play to get it. I know,

81
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: I know a lot happened after that. I know Mike

82
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: McCarthy tried to give it away. I know Nelson Agilar

83
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: gave it away. I know Bill Belichick, you know, crawled

84
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: up like a little turtle into a shell, like like

85
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: he's doing for much of this season. But I think

86
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: it comes down, dude, no one's playing quarterback better than

87
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, and I feel like the Cowboys offense can

88
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: overcome so much, and today he did. Yeah, I mean

89
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: we have to now look at the Cowboys as a

90
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: legitimate Super Bowl uh contender. That's what they are. And

91
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Doak is playing as well as anyone in the league.

92
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: And I think the game raises your opinion of everyone

93
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: that played quarterback because Matt Jones, I think, you know,

94
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: as a first year rookie to come back with the

95
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: ice cold CounterPunch on that throat, on that throat to

96
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Kendrick Bourne the seventy yard or after the after the

97
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: pick six, and you know you could see someone else

98
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: crumbling there. It was. You know, it's a tough one

99
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: for New England. But if you're a Patriots fan, I

100
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: know Greg is basically taking the Patriots and throw them

101
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: off a Cliff. At this point, you've got to say,

102
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: I mean long, long term. I mean, you have to

103
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: be very encouraged by Mac Jones. But if you're a

104
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan and it's been a while for them too,

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: you're looking at something special. Intel. Yeah, and I think

106
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: we all kind of saw the Cowboys even entering this

107
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: week as uh, legit NFC contender to make it out

108
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: of the conference, get back to the super Bowl for

109
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: the first time in a quarter century. Um So, in

110
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: its own way, this game, even though they didn't play

111
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: um you know, the cleanest brand of football. This is

112
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: different than other Cowboys teams as well, where you don't

113
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: play your best game where you shoot you yourself in

114
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: the foot constantly and some and you still find a

115
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: way to get a get the job done. And yeah,

116
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: Dak the throws that he made um in crunch time.

117
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the Patriots had I think three different chances

118
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: to win this game in regulation on that final field

119
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: goal drive, and every time Dak stepped up, including the

120
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: huge downfield connection. I think it was a twenty five

121
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: yard strike the Ceedee Lamb on third and twenty six

122
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: that got them into field goal range. So you know,

123
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: we also have and this is a little inside baseball.

124
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: But uh, in the newsroom here I recently discovered we

125
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: have access to the truck feed. The truck feed which

126
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: shows you the telecast, Um, no commercial breaks. You see

127
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: all the raw feed. And we saw Dak limping significantly

128
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: going into the tunnel after the game with a big

129
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: smile on his face. Um, but that is something to

130
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: watch your Again. This is a guy coming off a

131
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: serious leg injury. Wonder you wonder if it's connected, but

132
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: either way, he was unstoppable when accounted. It's also a

133
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: guy that throughout hard knocks basically told anyone bringing up

134
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: his injury, go f you, because I'm going to get

135
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: back on the field. So I don't I think we're

136
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna see him next week. Well, I found it interesting

137
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots seemed to really load up and try to

138
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: stop the Cowboys running game and see what else could happen.

139
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson was in man coverage. Man, he's he's

140
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: made himself a lot of money this year. Like j C.

141
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: Jackson's playing great, and he did he did for the

142
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: most part in this game. But they almost stared the Cowboys,

143
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, to move the ball with throwing it up

144
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: and down the field and then cosm mistakes and they did.

145
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: But the moral victories that you know, I said it

146
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: with you know, tongue in cheek. They've had chances to

147
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: win these games. You know, you get the ball in overtime.

148
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you don't get a call here, but

149
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: you had the Agilar drop and then you get the

150
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: ball late in the first half, and you get the

151
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: ball even with twenty five seconds left. I know it's nothing,

152
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: but Belichick sits on it. It bothered me more with

153
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: nineties seconds left in the first half. Also, even punting

154
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: on fourth and three. I think the way that the

155
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense was moving the ball on the field goal

156
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: wins the game here. I would they hated them going

157
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: for that either. I know that hands it over to him.

158
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: But you you've seen a very conservative trying to win,

159
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: like it's two thousand one style from the Patriots, and

160
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: it's gotten them pretty close to beating the Bucks. It's

161
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: gotten them pretty close to beating the Cowboys, but they

162
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't win either game. It's also like this game, they

163
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: had fourteen plays in the first half and forty five

164
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: in all of regulation before overtime. A bit of an apiration.

165
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Very strange game because the Patriots scored fourteen points on

166
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: their first seven plays from scrimmage, then went totally in

167
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: the tank in the second quarter, shot out, third quarters, shutout,

168
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: came to life and scored fifteen and the fourth uh

169
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: to take the lead. But it was not meant to be,

170
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: I thought. On the Dallas side here I mentioned it

171
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson. It won't really jump out to you in

172
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: the box score because he finished four forty two on

173
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: seven targets, but I was surprised and multiple big spots

174
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: in this game. UH dak went to Wilson and he

175
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: came through for them and then ceedee lamb. I think

176
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people, myself included, saw this as his

177
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: breakout year where he was gonna go a hundred for

178
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred yards and twelve touchdowns, and he might still

179
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: end up that way, but it's been quiet at times.

180
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Nine for one, nine and two touchdowns on eleven target.

181
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: That's big boy, big boy pass performance, including the game winners.

182
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: So you know football Trayvon Diggs getting to pick six

183
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: to look like he's gonna win, you know, to win

184
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: the game when he's trying to get defensive Player of

185
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: the Year. Seven interception six games. That's just insane. Mike

186
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: McCarthy appearing to make every wrong choice he possibly can,

187
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: kicking the field goal with two and a half minutes

188
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: to go that looked like that could have cost him.

189
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: And when the Patriots like scored on their seventy five

190
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass on the very next play, I said, well,

191
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: it's almost like they scored too quick the only way

192
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: you're just not gonna stop this Cowboys offense. And they

193
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: got close, They got close a couple of times, but

194
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. You know, I defend McCarthy more than

195
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: anyone on the show. I'm the only one that sometimes does,

196
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: because he is the head coach of this team that's

197
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: five one everybody's in love with. But then when you

198
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: see things like that, it's fourth and one with this offense,

199
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: and you settle for a fifty one yard field goal

200
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: late in the four quarter and Trayvon Digs bailed you

201
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: out with the pick six on the next series. But

202
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, because it's that type of stuff that

203
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: you wonder in the crucible the playoffs, if McCarthy's got

204
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: another one of these up as sleeve. Uh, and I

205
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: understand if you're a Cowboys fan who's nervous even taking

206
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: a time out before the zer line game time field

207
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: goal with twenty seconds left, when you could have just

208
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: let it go to five seconds. It's just someone who's

209
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: a little overwhelmed by the moment when it comes to game.

210
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: The school you're not running the offense the defense, then

211
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: you gotta be good at that. That's the school it

212
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: comes from it. I mean, that's who they knew they

213
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: were hiring. I do wonder if you're Kellen Moore, do

214
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: you have like text threads with longtime friends saying this

215
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: stuff drives me nuts because it's like it's Kellen Moore.

216
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: I I will make the announcement here Kellen Moore will

217
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: be the next Dallas Cowboys head coach. I don't know

218
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be at some point he will just

219
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: take over for Mike McCarthy. Could have been right. It

220
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: might be like I'm gonna I'm gonna take a job

221
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: somewhere else if you don't hire me. Although they control

222
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: whether or not he's allowed to interview Um and Mark,

223
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: I will make some news. I can guarantee Dak Prescott

224
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: is not playing next week. The Cowboys are on by

225
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: got you baby, let's roll that was affect got you

226
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: another overtime lock there for hands locking up, baby drest

227
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: Come on, great digger, give it to me, give me

228
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: my lock. I earned those, sorry, great bigger filling in

229
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: for Ricky. There it is all right. Now it's hit

230
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: the Jackson fake the hand off looking at zone fires, touchdown,

231
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews and Ravens put up six more points. Jerry

232
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: Sandusky with the call for w B a l Lamar

233
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: Jackson threw for Bucks sixty seven and a touchdown. Not

234
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: too impressive, but guess what didn't need to be. The

235
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: Ravens defense shut down Justin Herbert and the Charger's final

236
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: score thirty four six. Greggy. The Bolts could not be

237
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: stopped against the Browns on offense, and it was just

238
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: a totally different story in this one. It was insane.

239
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: I saw Usta after the game that Justin Herbert was

240
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: pressured on thirty three of his forty two dropbacks three

241
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 1: times in a single game. I've never seen anything like that,

242
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: and they all weren't deep drops. I mean sometimes this

243
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: is a pretty quick throwing offense. Now they got stuck

244
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: in third and long quite a bit, and they've been

245
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: so good on third and long and so good on

246
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: fourth down. Maybe it was time for aggression to happen.

247
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: But regression works the other way too, sometimes there's positive regression.

248
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: And to me, the Ravens is running game and their

249
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: defense has been mediocre all year or worse, and in

250
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: this game they look like the old Ravens where they're

251
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: blowing up holes where it almost seemed like they were

252
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: challenging how big a hole do we need for Devanty

253
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: Freeman and Latavious Murray and Levy on Belts to get

254
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: through because it has to be huge and the place

255
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: take forever to develop, and guess what, they were big enough.

256
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: And the defense, as I mentioned with the pressure, was

257
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: old raven style defense to the point where as you mentioned,

258
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't need to do too much he wont He

259
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: made some big plays from the pocket, but it was

260
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: the run game, it was their defense. And I think,

261
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: if you're the rest of the a f C, the

262
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: idea that the Ravens have gotten a little lucky to

263
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: get out to this four and one start, but I

264
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: have a lot of room for improvement moving forward. They

265
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: are a very scared look at my locks. This season

266
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: off to the fast start. Some people say, oh, maybe

267
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: a little lucky, but the just improvement is on its way.

268
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest stories in the on the

269
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: sports scene. But Mark being back in the studio is

270
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: so great just for the look on his face that

271
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: he had right there. It was not discussed. It's just

272
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: like it's you know, we will spend the show in

273
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: various forms of self promotion, and there that's the first.

274
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: By the way, Greg, I mean that running on the

275
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: chargers has not been a huge tour for teams this year.

276
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: I mean the Browns had two thirty last week, the

277
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs had a hundred and eighties six, The Cowboys had

278
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: a hundred nineties six, So that's a weak spot for them.

279
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: But I think the Ravens, you were dealing with a

280
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: completely new crop of running backs. You've had issues along

281
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: the offensive line. They've had a month now to get

282
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: into shape, and to me, I mean, it's like, I

283
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: don't know how many other ways they can win games

284
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: to provide enough proof for everyone watching, this was the

285
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: most completely to win thirty four to six against a

286
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: good team. You know, a lot of people including myself,

287
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: that the Charges will win this game. That is that's different,

288
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: and that is scary. And you're right about the run

289
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: defense for the Charges because Matt money Smith was sitting

290
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: in your chair one of those weeks and look, he

291
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: pointed chair. You know it is your chair. You I

292
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: am a green, he said, Like their defense is sort

293
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: of designed to funnel runs. You know, they want you

294
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: to run the ball. But there's a point and they

295
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: were missing they want you to run for two d

296
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Like they were missing two linebackers today,

297
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: Tranquil and kause youre white. They don't have anyone in

298
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: their front seven who's good except for Joey Bosa. That's

299
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: a that ends up being a pretty big problem as

300
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: they keep continuing down the season. Um. Yes, they were

301
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: in total control of this matchup. All three of their

302
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: veteran running backs on Tavius Murray, Levan Bell, and Devanta

303
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: Freeman score touchdowns, Bell wearing number seventeen. Just it's hard

304
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: to watch. Even his touchdown took like it was like

305
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: a three yard run that took like an hour. Patient

306
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: that patient, but no Herbert yards touchdown in a pick.

307
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: Give them pass. They've been great all year. Sometimes you

308
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: have a bad week. This is the bad week for

309
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers or is there something more to read into here? Well,

310
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: I think the defense is what I'm concerned about. The

311
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: offensive line, we'll see if that continues. Yeah, I almost

312
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: thought like it was good for him to he had

313
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: a bad game too. He missed throws, he made bad

314
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: decisions on those thirty three times he was pressured. He

315
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: averaged one point one yards per tempt on this place,

316
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: so he was not coming up with the answers that

317
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: he usually does. The defense is what I am concerned

318
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: about because I just don't think they're rounding into anything

319
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: but way below average, which is not what Brandon's Daley expected.

320
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: All Right, So the Ravens, they really make a statement there.

321
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: In week six, Greg and I have some breaking news

322
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: breaking as we're just talking about the Dallas Cowboys and

323
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and the truck feed and the limp heard

324
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: around the world. It's a calf strain suffered by Dak

325
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: on that final play of the game, and he will

326
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: be reevaluated with an m R I to come on Monday.

327
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, they have a bye sometimes year like

328
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: that's maybe it's the Cowboys. Yes, what I said was

329
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: two weeks for us not to worry about it now.

330
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: But we'll see a calf can be tricky and we'll

331
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: see what the Mr I comes up with their um.

332
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: All right, let us move on. Daryll Williams along set up.

333
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: They take it to him. Let's quick cast touch store

334
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: turns a city on the quick slant at the back

335
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: of the end zone, off play action tie prekill and

336
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: the Cheetah finds the sweeten neck or the end zone.

337
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: When the Chiefs needed the most, Mitch hold us with

338
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: the call w d a F. Has the glow returned?

339
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but Patrick Mahomes got his act together in

340
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: the second half on Sunday, leading three touchdown drives to

341
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: make up for two turnovers in the first half, and

342
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: he led the Chiefs to a thirty one to thirteen

343
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: come back win at Washington. The defending a f C

344
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: champions get back to five hundred with the win, and

345
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: uh came out a game where in the first half

346
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: he threw his seventh and eighth interceptions of the year

347
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: he threw six all of the last season, and the

348
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: second one, which happened late in the first half with

349
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: seconds to play on a third down deep in Washington territory.

350
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: He muffs the snap and Shotgun picks it up and

351
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: then kind of has like a panic where he just

352
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: throws it up for grabs and it gets intercepted. And

353
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: you're just thinking yourself, what is going on with the

354
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs this season? Because Mahomes that was probably the worst

355
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: play of his career, you could argue, and you just wonder,

356
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: is this really going to go sideways? Well, at least

357
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: for this week, they got it together, and uh, Mark,

358
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: the Washington football team is a good team to get

359
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: healthy on against on offense. What you would never said

360
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: before the season started, But that's just the way it is.

361
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: Because we saw it again. As the big place piled

362
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: up for Casey in the second half, Washington looked increasingly

363
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: confused about what the hell was going on on the field. Yeah,

364
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the the Washington defense, which has been under

365
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: fire by you know, analysts rightly so gave up four

366
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: d and nine nine yards. So the glow is off.

367
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: A team that had five hundred yards, put up thirty

368
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: one points, had twenty nine first downs and a really

369
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: bad play from Patrick Mahomes. I just I guess it's

370
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: like October. What sixteenth or something. I want to wait

371
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more time before today's oct Well, you know,

372
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's there are facts that I'm missing. What

373
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: do you want to wait for? I mean, I am

374
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: not going to you know, drive home and maybe you know,

375
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: veer off the high way over with concerns about the

376
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: chiefs of the I mean, I am like, well, I'm

377
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: saying this is this is, this is right. The Washington

378
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: Football teams maybe the worst team in the league other

379
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: than you know, the Jaguars, the Lions of Texans. You know,

380
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: there's one of the worst teams. Okay, that's a better

381
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: way to say it there. But they're they're there for

382
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: me because they're asking Tyler Taylor Heineke to try to

383
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: keep up with this dreadful defense. It's just not gonna happen.

384
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: The Mahomes pushback is driving me a little crazy. First

385
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: of all, that first pick was another drop, So he's

386
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: had three picks. Three of those picks were dropped, and

387
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: a few of them were these third down desperation places

388
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: which you shouldn't make. This play reminded me a lot

389
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: of the Ravens interception, which was which is one of

390
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: the worst places of his career too. But I saw

391
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: multiple tweets today. One mentioned his mother that she couldn't

392
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: make an excuse for this. I guess she was tweeting

393
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: about it. Um that one wasn't This wasn't wasn't like

394
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: his mom can't blame it on uh, someone else? And

395
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: then it asked the question has the league figured Patrick

396
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: mohomes out? Wait? Who's tweeting this? Someone who I had

397
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: to block, who has a lot of follows, who has

398
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: a lot of followers. I blocked him just because sometimes

399
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: your take is so bad, you don't get muted, you

400
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: get blocked. Uh. And then spot Rack, which I love,

401
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: did a tweet halfway through the game. Again, don't up

402
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: spot spot Rack. You know that I like. Don't tweet

403
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: halfway through games too much. Uh. They put up something

404
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: about how much money he has left on his contract

405
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: and how much is fully guaranteed, as if the contract

406
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: was a problem. Just shut up. What are you talking about?

407
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: They are literally first in the league in in yards

408
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: and points per drive this year. I just want to

409
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: point that out, Just want to point that out. I'm

410
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: with you, although I'm after your your tirade. There, I'm

411
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm I would say it's fifty Dan that I've been

412
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: blocked by Gregg. It's something if I not annoyed him,

413
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: I won't say who it is, but if you want to,

414
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: just like I was able to put together the clues

415
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: based on Greg's commentary, you could find did and said

416
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: that person probably or maybe or possibly is listening, and

417
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: Greg is just she's just burning more bridges left and right.

418
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: But then then have better takes than that. That's a

419
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: it's a terrible take, because yes, if you are really

420
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: watching the games, uh, you're not seeing a league that's

421
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: figuring out Mahomes. You're seeing a little bit of a

422
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: wonky start to the season, some bad luck and then

423
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: some pressing. And I thought the interception at the end

424
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: of the second quarter, which is why I was just

425
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: like scratching my head, is like, man, one of you

426
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: seen mahomes um look kind of scatter brained in a

427
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: moment like that, and it just doesn't happen a lot.

428
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: So I thought the second half here was very important,

429
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: uh for the Chiefs in terms of just okay, let's

430
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: calm things down. We're back to five. The Chargers just

431
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: got their ass beat, uh, so they're not going to

432
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: run away and hide on us. We have a chance

433
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: to get this thing under control. Uh So I think

434
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: it's not a win that solves all their problems, but

435
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: it's a very nice victory to take. Uh. Moving forward, right,

436
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not even trying to say there aren't problems.

437
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, let's use the context that he's coming

438
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: off the best first three seasons as a starter in

439
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL three years ago, that's three

440
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: years from now. He's going to make this interception that

441
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: has everyone you know, mildly melting well that it would

442
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: be the one time he's done that. I take it all, right, Uh,

443
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: let's take a break and then we'll bring in the pipe.

444
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: Second and thirteen, Cousins shotgun looking to the left, steps

445
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: up in the pocket. He'll fade to the end zone

446
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: for kJ touchdown. Seven Minnesota games have walked off on

447
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. Paul Allen with the call K and

448
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: cut Cousins completed a twenty seven yard touchdown past the

449
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: kJ osbourne on the first possession of overtime, lifting the

450
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: Vikings to win over the Panthers, who were oh and three.

451
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: Since they're three and oh, start now we welcome in

452
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: as promised. Nick Shook the Pipe, who had eyes on

453
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: this game and wrote about it for NFL dot Com Shookie.

454
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: For the second straight week, the Vikings gagged away a

455
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter lead, and for the second straight week, they

456
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: found a way. They found a way after I would

457
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: say two to two and a half quarters of some

458
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: of the most frustrating football you're ever gonna watch. If

459
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: you're a traditionalist, you say, well, that's just great defense.

460
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: But if you're a realist, you realize that it was

461
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: one offense struggling to move the ball against a good defense,

462
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: and the other offense struggling to do anything because it's

463
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: quarterback couldn't get out of its own way and they

464
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: were missing the best playmaker on offense. And then that

465
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: all didn't matter. Suddenly, within the course of a blocked

466
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: punt and a fourth quarter, everything just flew off the handle.

467
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: We ended up in overtime of a game that I

468
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: didn't even know if we'd ever actually get to the

469
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: end of because it was so quiet in Bank of

470
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: America Stadium that I thought people might just fall asleep.

471
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: Uh completely turned it on it on its head and

472
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: became a thrilling game. But yeah, Um, you know, we

473
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: got a thrilling overtime finish, and really it was a

474
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: product to the fact that the Vikings don't know how

475
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: to close the game. There was game too, and he

476
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: was very frustrated at the page to your point, Nick

477
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: that like you know, it's it's sitting there and overtime, Um,

478
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, with it And I'm watching the Browns Cardinals

479
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: game first quarter end, so it waged on and I

480
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: think if you watched the end of the game, you'd

481
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: think differently about Kirk Cousins and the Vikings off winch,

482
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: which you're right, was extremely frustrating and went into a

483
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: deep slumber for long stretches of this game. And Sam

484
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: Donald spent three plus quarters convincing you that he's not

485
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: going to be able to carry the Panthers through this

486
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: season unless they get Christian McCaffrey back for the rest

487
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: of the year when he comes back from his injury.

488
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but but but nothing like that, right,

489
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's six un answered points and stormed back.

490
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: But they really looked troubled for a big chunk of

491
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah. I think at one point for on

492
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: the Panthers side, Sam Donald had as many completions overall

493
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: as Adam DeLand. DeLand had receptions, they both had eight,

494
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: he did and Dan and I noticed that that Darnald

495
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: at one point um was so off targeted through an

496
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: oh you overthrew a pass into the end zone area

497
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: and Gray's day woman, Yes, an attractive one, young woman

498
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: took but he and she was she wasn't really watching

499
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: the game closely, and it's it's surprised her. And then yeah,

500
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: and Donald kind of saved saved himself with a ninety

501
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: six yard drive there they convert a fourth and forever

502
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: from his own goal line and then march all the

503
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: way down the field get the two point conversion. So

504
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: it kind of saves Donald for a lot of criticism

505
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: this week. But he'll finish with a couple of turnovers, right,

506
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: So it's like for me right now, like listen, nobody's

507
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: breaking news here that Sam Donald is not a guy

508
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be able to carry this team by himself,

509
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: and which ties in, I think, and it connects to

510
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers watching the Christian McCaffrey situation here. There's no

511
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: way around it that they know how important he is

512
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: to the offense, so they kind of set things up

513
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: in a way where they try to get him back

514
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: maybe sooner. They didn't put him on I R initially. Obviously,

515
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: now there's a setback because now he's back on I

516
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: R or he finally heads that I R, and now

517
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: he's back week nine at the earliest. So now you're

518
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: in a situation, Shoki, where you have Sam Donald's gonna

519
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: be out there alone with Robby Anderson who has very

520
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: little chemistry with all of a sudden, and you need

521
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: DJ more to step up week to week. None of

522
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: this really points in a great direction, especially when the

523
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: league best as it was set up to us going

524
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: into this game. Panthers D got shredded today by the Vikings.

525
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: I thought we were tossing those rankings out. No, this

526
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: is uh. This is an example of two defining traits

527
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: of the David Tepper Panthers and really the Matt Rule

528
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: Panthers so far. It's one they don't know how to

529
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: manage Christian McCaffrey injuries. They didn't really manage it very

530
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: well last year either, if you go back and think

531
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: about that, when they probably should have shut him down

532
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: in a lost season and toyed with it and toyed

533
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: with it and toy with it until the final few weeks.

534
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: And also they're hyper aggressive because they thought, you know,

535
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: they get out to the three and other start and

536
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: they're like, we have to capitalize on this. We're gonna

537
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: make moves, you know, We're gonna make trades and so

538
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: on and so forth. And ultimately, what do you get.

539
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: You get a team that's still it's fate rests on

540
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: the shoulders and on the arm of Sam Donald who

541
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 1: does not have his best player because you can't manage

542
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: his health effectively. And this is what you get. And

543
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: I know they got to overtime and they almost won

544
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: the game, and they should be commended for fighting because

545
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: they were down eleven in the fourth quarter. But man,

546
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: I have a debate ongoing with a buddy, which three

547
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: and O team is for real or less real than

548
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: the other one. And right now between the Broncos and

549
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: the Panthers, I think the Panthers are losing that battle,

550
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: and games like today kind of tell me that. Yeah.

551
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean I still look at the Panthers like the

552
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: Panthers has a well coached team. Um from the Vikings

553
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: side real quick, because I know this drove Greg nuts

554
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: that I put Mike Zimmer in that Mike McCarthy category

555
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: where this is not a cutting edge um time clock

556
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: manager or sort of late game decision guy, but also

557
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: positive for the Vikings. kJ Osborne, I mean, like you

558
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: start to realize that this wide receiver group is dangerous,

559
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: and to talk about the Vikings going to sleep, You're

560
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: still getting moments from Kirk Cousins, and I know that

561
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: the probably the experience will end at some point with

562
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins in Minnesota. He's playing really well when he

563
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: when things are going good for the vis he's great.

564
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: He's very good. And Osborne has won them a couple

565
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: of these aims with the plays that he is a

566
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: legit number three. You have multiple chances to put the

567
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: Panthers away late in the game. And Mike Zimmers still

568
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: coaching like he's coaching some elite defense and that it's

569
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, two thousand and two or something like that.

570
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: All he had to do was call a couple of

571
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: passes and let Kirk Cousins win on first or second

572
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: down on some of the last drives, and then you

573
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't have had to go to overtime. Sam Donald only

574
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: got a chance because Mike Zimmers running on third and long.

575
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: It's like, let let your best players make the plays

576
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: like thelan Jefferson Cousins. Let him make that. I do

577
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: enjoy being back in the office just to hear Greg's temperature.

578
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: I guess to to to see temperature just rising. It's

579
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: always these tough guy head coaches to like like we're

580
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna be really tough. And then they coached pretty scared,

581
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: like they coached like they're afraid to lose. So that

582
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 1: part I don't get. Yeah, it's exactly what. You're exactly right.

583
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: He's coaching not to lose. And the funny thing too, is,

584
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: you know we talked about five hundred and seventy yards

585
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: a total offense and and how it didn't look like

586
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: that at all. Here's another stat for you that people

587
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: won't realize when they talk about Kirk Cousins. He's thrown

588
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: three or more touchdowns and zero interceptions in five of

589
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: his last games. He has eleven such instances in which

590
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: he's done that since only one quarterback has done that more,

591
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And yet Kirk doesn't get kept and sometimes

592
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the ball's hands to go do it

593
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen again. Everyone's gonna bury Kirk Cousins during

594
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: the season, during the off season. Then you look at

595
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 1: his stats, like, oh, what do you do last year?

596
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: He's probably like one touchdowns, three picks, pass rating eight seven. No,

597
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw for thirty seven touchdowns and twelve interceptions

598
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: and throw for forty seven hundred yards. And uh, he

599
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: is not the problem in Minnesota, never has been. He's

600
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: a little annoying. I think that his shove of Zimmer

601
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: actually was like my favorite thing Kirk Cousins has maybe

602
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: ever dig now I'm all in on Kirk, yet highly

603
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: awkward because he specializes in't highly awkward. My favorite Kirk

604
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: Cousins moment, other than his declaration that he would put

605
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: himself in a plexiglass cube to protect himself from coronavirus

606
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: instead of getting the coronavirus vaccine, was when he put

607
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: up video of his own gender reveal his wife's was

608
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: expecting and his job was to throw a football and

609
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: hit the targets or reveal like blue or pink pluma,

610
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: not his own gender, reveal the gender of I think

611
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: that's established. Yeah, the child. Uh, and he basically missed

612
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: the target with the ball, and they're like, let's throw

613
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: it up live anyway, Let's put it up on the

614
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: old Graham A retake on that, all right, Chooky, I

615
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: know you. You told me You're in downtown Cleveland and

616
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: there's some upset people outside the window, hopefully not climbing

617
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: up to the window because some crazy, unfortunate stuff went

618
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: down for your hometown Brownies on Sunday. Straight drop back

619
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: for Kyler, steps up, lobs it back in the z

620
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: quite open as Hopkins and a touchdown. Kyler stepping up

621
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: again finds de Andre Hopkins and that's a big score

622
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: late in the third to make a twenty nine of

623
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: more team Dave pass k t a R with the

624
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: call Kyler Murray's is it too soon Greg to talk

625
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: about m v P marches because it's in full swagger mode.

626
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: The Cardinals quarterback through four more touchdown passes without a

627
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: pick in a thirty four win over A. Let's let's

628
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: just call it an outclassed and beat up Brown's team

629
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Mark Um watches next to you. You had

630
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: a foreboding vibe from the start. You didn't feel good

631
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: about it. And if you take out a Hail Mary.

632
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: This thing was almost an embarrassment for the Browns. Yeah,

633
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, but let's you know, the Cardinals a team

634
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: that passes every test. I don't think that we understand

635
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: how many challenges arise when you don't have your head coach, um,

636
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: going to the game, when essentially your head coach is

637
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: the only play call you have to apparently not that many. Well, no,

638
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing that completely made it look easy.

639
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: And you have like Colt McCoy and Kyler Murray and

640
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: a gaggle of coaches helping a call plays on the sideline,

641
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: and they come pletely outclass Cleveland at the point where

642
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: in the middle you know it had time thinking do

643
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: I need to give a Super Bowl ticket to Jason Zumwalt,

644
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: our our voiceover friend, our friend and our Cardinals fan,

645
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: our resident Cardinals fan here because they looked that like

646
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: that kind of team to me right now, it depends

647
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: what kind of text he sent you today. Was nice

648
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: about delightful, delightful. He's a classy guy too, Um, but

649
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, shook and eye texted a little bit during

650
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: this too. And you know, this reminded me of the

651
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: Browns because you remove both both tackles, right and left

652
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: tackle not in this game, and you would Baker running

653
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: for his life and it led to two killer strip sacks,

654
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: eat a bad interception in this game. It just it

655
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: reminded me of old chaotic times where everything that we've

656
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: seen and observed of her Kevin Stefanski, that structure was

657
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: missing today and the floor fell out. And you're playing

658
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: a team that I think you know from a Cardinals side,

659
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: just I mean DeAndre Hopkins three touchdowns, one where he

660
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: was all alone in the end zone, total breakdown. They

661
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: find a way to completely overwhelmed defenses. And in this case,

662
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you guys got a little annoyed

663
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: at me because it was like five minutes into the

664
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: game and I just said, this thing is over. But

665
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Browns fans understand. And I think if you're white, you

666
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: say that every Browns game for any time, they haven't said,

667
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: I really haven't said that in a long long time,

668
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: was scoreless and you said they are gonna get dropped today,

669
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: and you were right, you were right. A lot of

670
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: it has to do with the Cardinals and who they are.

671
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: They're so aggressive, they're so resilient when they make a mistake.

672
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: They don't care. They keep pressing, and today I think

673
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: they basically said, forget the Cleveland Browns. Where the team

674
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: you need to be talking about. Yeah, I mean Mark

675
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: had great reason to feel that way because they just

676
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: played an aggressive offense the week Prayer and got forty

677
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: seven hung on him, and they were about as banged

678
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: up going into this game this week, So there was

679
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: no reason to feel otherwise or expect anything else. So

680
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: so for this to be the product I was actually,

681
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: come on both you Browns fans. Don't act like now

682
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: that you were some everyone keeps I could care less.

683
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: You're in your building. You're in your building. You have

684
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: a great, great group of playmakers. I mean, let's not

685
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: say like the little old Browns have no chance in

686
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: this game. They got whooped in their building and then

687
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: sometimes just get beat up. Well, no, not everybody picked them,

688
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: because I didn't pick them. I picked the Cardinals. I

689
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: don't know how they were possibly favored. You don't have

690
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: Nike shub going to this game. You didn't have Jarvis Landry. Yes,

691
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: that's right, I will stand on this. Uh, they didn't

692
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: have Jarvis Landry. They did have both their tackles their

693
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: center was questionable until the game today. You know, you

694
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: went into the weekend questionable. You had a number of

695
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: injuries and guys kind of coming back from injuring. The

696
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football, the Cardinals doesn't have Tyler

697
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: Jones or their head coach, and they had ever They

698
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: had Kyler Murray, and they had all of their top receivers.

699
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: They had DeAndre Hopkins, Christian kirk a J. Green All

700
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: who victimized the Browns as expected. James Conner had probably

701
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: his best day as a Cardinal today. Uh, everything that

702
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: happened was what I expected when I didn't expect that

703
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: the Browns would fall apart even more than they did.

704
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: Baker hanging onto the ball too long, getting strip sacked twice,

705
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: reinjuring his shoulder. The interception was horrible, but I come

706
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: to expect that from him every once in a while.

707
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: It's just who he is. And then you have the

708
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: most negative part of the game, which is losing Kareem

709
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: Hunt to a non contact calf injury, which I'm you know,

710
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: they sounded everyone was like, oh, it's not achilles. We're

711
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: really optimistic. That's great news. Like a stretch and they

712
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: played Thursday, and so we have no idea what sort

713
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: of shape they'll be in, bad timing for the Thursday

714
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: night game. Baker, by the way, after the game, his

715
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: arms in a sling and he reaggravated the injury on

716
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: a hit from J. J. Watt where he kind of

717
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: got driven into the ground awkwardly right on that bad

718
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: left shoulder. After the game, he said, when asked about

719
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: how he was feeling, he said, feels like so he's

720
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: pretty straightforward, but he wants to play. And Baker is

721
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: a badass. He's a tough dude. Um, but the short

722
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: turnaround here makes you think that case Keendom's in play

723
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: for Week seven. Maybe. I mean he came back and

724
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: played in this game. I think it's gonna be a

725
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: pain management thing because the nature of those injuries. And

726
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I am no doctor, but I have suffered, and I'm

727
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: not a quarterback either, but I have suffered Tory labor before.

728
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: It can't really get that much worse, and it's his

729
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: non throwing shoulders, so I think he could be able

730
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: to manage it. I wasn't surprised to see him come

731
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: back in the game. That's also kind of the guy

732
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: he is. Um. But you're right. The short week, I

733
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: think that they've got a long road ahead of them

734
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: unless they can get healthy in a relatively quick fashion,

735
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: which you know, you leave that up to medicine. It's

736
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: it's not like you're just trying to bounce back from something.

737
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: But I do want to say this. We've had some

738
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: listeners in the last couple of weeks give us some

739
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: some crap for not giving the Cardinals enough credit. So

740
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them their flowers. They dominated this game.

741
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't think this was their statement win of the year.

742
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: That was the Rams win because of all the guys

743
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: in the problem. But the Titans, they have three of

744
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: the best victories that any team has had all year.

745
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: All three are on the road, all three were blowouts.

746
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: Week one was such a stunner. I know it's the Titans,

747
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: but the Titans are or a playoff team, and that

748
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: that was huge. They destroyed the Rams and they destroyed

749
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: the Browns. They they have to be Their coaching step

750
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: has to be given a lot of credit. Like this

751
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: offensive line, especially which doesn't look great on paper, always

752
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: protects very well and they're getting the job done. It's

753
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: helps when you're protecting Kyler Murray too, and I think

754
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: they're just playing great football right now. Now you could

755
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: say they got the benefit of I think there were

756
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: six penalties and seven plays in one drive, but that

757
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: was not the course of this game. They they dominated

758
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: this game and I'll feel very confident picking them going

759
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: forward no matter who they're playing. I mean, they're there's

760
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: some they're basically legitimate. I do wonder if you're Cliff

761
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: Kingsbury or any coach, were suddenly your home on your

762
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: couch and the team dominates, It's like, wait a minute, what, what? How?

763
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: How do we need you? Are you important? I mean

764
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: he is just stay home that well when we missed

765
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: you in London? But did you send some of that

766
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: when we were thriving in London and you were like

767
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: do you do you know me at all? I spent

768
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: the whole time thinking like I'm getting replaced by every

769
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: other guy in the studio on every show. So this

770
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: is troubling today. Were the same CBS three weeks from now? Um,

771
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: all right, Chucky is it are you in danger? By

772
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: the way, because unruly Cleveland fans that that sounds dangerous.

773
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: Potentially you're a big man. You could you can fend

774
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: for yourself though. Okay, so you said, I hope they

775
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: don't climb up through a window. I mean, I'm not

776
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: penthouse here. We're low level, but we're you gotta be

777
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: spider Man to get up here because this is a

778
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: very tall building. So we're okay. They're having said that,

779
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm still within ear shot, and I went to go

780
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: make a pot of coffee right before h Sunday night

781
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: football kicked off, and all I heard was people shouting

782
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: and laying on the horns to get out of the

783
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: traffic jams. And one guy just goes to the corner

784
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: of the street I happened to be looking out there.

785
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: He just looks up to this guy the night sky

786
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,479
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. He goes, I hate the Brown. This means

787
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: good anything. We need to send you down there and

788
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: do some on the street reporting in the future. It's like,

789
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, war combat reporting. How about it? You like

790
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: you have a pot of hot coffee you can throw

791
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: out the window. Secondly, imagine being like a wayward Brown's

792
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: fan of climbs up a wall and breaks into someone's

793
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: apartment and it's Nick Shook standing there. I think that

794
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: would be. It just got worse and that's you know,

795
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: there's real, real fans in the Midwest and in western Ohio,

796
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: anywhere in Ohio. What I mean, Mark kind of just suggested,

797
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: maybe just this guy just pour some scalding coffee out

798
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: of just for yelling ugly you have hot coffee at

799
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: your side. I was just I was just saying that

800
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: I assume that fan was returning from the game. Sometimes

801
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: you sleep on, like when you go to a game

802
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: and you you pay the hundreds of dollars for the

803
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: ticket and the eighty dollars for parking and then the concessions,

804
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: and then your team gets waxed and you're miserable for

805
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: four hours in the building, and then you're in traffic.

806
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: You might react to the heavens as well. It's it's

807
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: one of the more underrated things about live sports is

808
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: that it's so much worse to be there live like

809
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: I ultimately, in a heartbreaking circumstance like that, you would

810
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: have rather been at home. And the money is part

811
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: of it too, because you're thinking, I just spit, spent

812
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: five dollars to feel like I got kicked in the Conversely,

813
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: if you're at a truly special event, it's something it

814
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: stays with you forever, and you can't put a price

815
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: on that. All right, Chuckie, we love you, baby. I

816
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: will say that's how I spent most Sundays of my childhood.

817
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough my family had season takes to

818
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: the Browns for many years. Right, this is not territory

819
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: for you. A lot of sad car rides home, you know, talking,

820
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: Dad's not talking. The boys know to be quiet. All right,

821
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: there he goes, Nick, choke, Thank you, buddy. All right,

822
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: let's move on. Yes, the Cardinals are the only undefeated

823
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: team in football. Through three weeks. The Raiders and Broncos

824
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: were also undefeated. Things went sideways for both teams, especially

825
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: in the case of the Raiders, but things took a

826
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: turn for the better on Sunday. Car takes a snap,

827
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: loves it down toward cut five Edwards. He's freet pushed

828
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 1: out of bounds at the twenty yard on. Edwards broke

829
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: free and Derry Carr loved it to him down the

830
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 1: nearest sideline. That was the play of the game. Brian

831
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 1: Edwards down the sideline in the fourth quarter, beautifully thrown

832
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: ball by Derek Carr. The third down conversion salted away

833
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: a really big victory for the Raiders who go to

834
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: Mile High and lay a win um hand to th loss,

835
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: I should say to their rivals in a game Greg

836
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: that obviously with the background with John Gruden's stunning resignation

837
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: and the taking over the special teams coach takes over,

838
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: and you wonder which way this is gonna go. Well,

839
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: they went the Raiders way in a big way on Sunday,

840
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: the fighting Bacia's watch out. I mean, they looked like

841
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: a team. I felt a little free. You know, here

842
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: we go, this is old narrative. I'm just having a

843
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: little fun with Hey, you get rid of this guy

844
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: who was the domineering um personality. You come out for

845
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: this first week and you play free. You play when

846
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: they were three and O was his domineering out of

847
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 1: the pably this good. They didn't play a game this complete.

848
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, don't a solution. All I'm saying is

849
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: they showed up and they played excellent football on both

850
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Derek Carr has been great all season,

851
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: and I do think part of this was a matchup

852
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: um advantage for the Raiders that they you know, they

853
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: probably would have won this game anyways, because I think

854
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: their biggest problem right now is their offensive line, and

855
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: the Broncos just don't have a pass rush. They could

856
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: not hurt the Raiders as biggest weakness, which is which

857
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: is up front. And if you give Derek Carr a

858
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: little bit of time, he's gonna spend some magic. He

859
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: only threw seven passes to get the three forty one.

860
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: He has been awesome this year and his receivers Rugs, Edwards, Waller,

861
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: he even Drake made a great play that the running

862
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: back all made great catches on some really pretty throws

863
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: and just goes to the show like you can have

864
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: a great secondary, and I think the Broncos have a

865
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: very good secondary. It's not gonna matter unless he gets

866
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: some pressure up front and on the flip side, like

867
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: the Raiders destroyed Teddy Bridgewater, like he was shook by

868
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: the end of this game. They hit him early often,

869
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: almost every time he went back in that Raiders pass

870
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: rush we saw and week one was all the way back.

871
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: Max Crosby played about as well as you can play

872
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: a game today, and they took it to him. There

873
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: was some garbage time, uh sprinkling on here, but the

874
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: Raiders could have won this game by even more the Teddy.

875
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: The Teddy interceptions were these, uh, you know on him

876
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: or not with There are three of them. One was,

877
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: one was you know, with twelve seconds left. One was terrible,

878
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: but really the first two were yeah, we're absolutely on him.

879
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: One was kind of a you just threw it up

880
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: at a certain point in the game where you almost

881
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: felt like the decision was justified because they weren't doing

882
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: anything and he throws up a jump all and gets

883
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: picked off. The first one was on a on a

884
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: fourth down, bad throw. He he didn't play great. They

885
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: had penalties and key spots, They had drops and key spots.

886
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: But I felt like, at least the way these two

887
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: teams were constituted today, they could have played this game

888
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: ten times and it wouldn't have mattered. Every phase of

889
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: the Raiders was superior to what the Broncos put out there.

890
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: They also missed what should be a layup touchdown. Of course,

891
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: that was a big play in this game. Down the

892
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: left sideline, he was wide open, he had his defenderve

893
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: beat by four steps and he overshot him. Um, but

894
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm not just no need to pile on Teddy Bridgewater,

895
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: but I think it's probably his worst game that I

896
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: will will. I mean, his stats don't really tell the

897
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: story because he did ended up going over three d

898
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: with three touchdowns, but he was you know, he's just

899
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: He's Teddy Bridgewater and that's just who he is. And

900
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: if he doesn't have the right set up around him,

901
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen for the Broncos. And for the Broncos,

902
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: the whole idea, Greg, and I know injuries have played

903
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 1: a role with this team as well, the whole idea

904
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: was that the defense was gonna be nasty and von Miller.

905
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: You know, this is a disappearing act for von Miller

906
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: in this game. Not to put all the loss on

907
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: anyone player, not Teddy, not von but when you need

908
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: somebody to make a big play and you're talking about

909
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: where is the Broncos pass rush, well, von Miller is

910
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: a guy that you need to step up in a

911
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 1: game like this, and he was not a big presence.

912
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: That's absolutely right, and I think he's played pretty well

913
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: for the most part this year. But when you only

914
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: have one pass rusher, it just makes it easier to

915
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: stop that one pass rusher. They're very injured at the

916
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: second level to their lie backers are are getting smoked,

917
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: They're getting pushed around. Even the Raiders could even run

918
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. The play calling I thought

919
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: was good from Greg Olsen. It's a new play caller

920
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: and some some big time Raiders, you know, backers who

921
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: watched this. We're noticing some different variations to what they

922
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: were doing. Uh, create creativity, some plays down the field.

923
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: But it's also just the players. Ruggs is turning into

924
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: a really good player. Cars having the best season in

925
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: my mind, of his career so far. I love seeing

926
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: this for the Raiders. Looking at the long receptions rugs

927
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: forty eight, edwards fifty one, they have a thirty three

928
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: yard or a thirty one yard or I mean, just

929
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: go be that offense. Just go throw the ball down

930
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: the field and you know, throw caution to the wind. Posaccia.

931
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: It's the Psaccia era. I'm not into it the way

932
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: you are. Greg. I mean really we heard because Dan

933
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: like as annoyed that I think that I was. It's

934
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: on my radar a little bit. I gave spice Rack

935
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: some love on the show. I thought it was amazing.

936
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 1: Spice Rack basically had had idea to fade, you know,

937
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: to go against the racial controversy a week and it worked,

938
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: and then this week he felt just this strong that

939
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna walk in this game because they're

940
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: all because his big theory, when you get the interim coach,

941
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: you get one great game like this and to be

942
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: spot that was great. It was right. You know. Andrew Hawkins,

943
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: a former player who has been around some fired bad coaches,

944
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,439
Speaker 1: he said the exact same thing. He said that first game,

945
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: you're so excited. He picked the Raiders because of it too.

946
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: It seems silly, but I don't know where the differences to.

947
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: Is that typically the interim coach comes in to take

948
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: an absolute disaster, a ship sinking, you know, for four

949
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: or five weeks. This is a better team. It's an

950
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: okay team. So that's okay team. That's the point I

951
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: wanted to make because and I don't want this to

952
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: get painted is like Dan's defending John Gruden, because no

953
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: one's defending John Gruden right now. But you know that

954
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 1: you don't think he should have been fired. You couldn't

955
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 1: paint it that way. It's just email. No, they obviously

956
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: he got he got his just desserts. Uh, if that's

957
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: the right way to put it. He deserves everything that

958
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: happened to him. But um, some of the recency bias

959
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: in the analysis immediately firing following the resignation, it was

960
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: like John Gruden was a terrible coach and a terrible

961
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: team builder, and this team is bad. It was bad

962
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: when he got here and bad when he left. Well, yeah,

963
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: because they lost back to back games to the Chargers

964
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: and Bears, but this is also a team that won

965
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: three games to start the season. Now we get another

966
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: big performance. All I'm saying is that, first of all,

967
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm team Bessacci. I'm on the army on that. But

968
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: it wasn't like when Gruden left that this Raiders team

969
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: was in total disarray. There are pieces in place here

970
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: for this team to continue on a trajectory towards the playoffs.

971
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: And it's not over just because Gruden's guy. I agree,

972
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: And I think, look, Gruden has been there four years.

973
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: He's way under five hundred in those four years. But

974
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: I think this is the best Raiders team he's had,

975
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: even kind of saying it's not just you, there's there's

976
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: a lot of think Their defensive line is a thing,

977
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: and they've never had anything on defense, and it really

978
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: is a thing that My point is, yeah, that after

979
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: the fire was like Gruden was a terrible higher and

980
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: look where the Raiders are now. It's like, all right,

981
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: if you only paid attention to football in the last

982
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: fourteen days, you would say the Raiders are a total

983
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: mess right now. But this team has a chance uh

984
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: to do something still the season. I thought this performance

985
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: wakes everyone up to that that the Raiders aren't dead,

986
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 1: even if John Gruden's career is, and that Broncos three

987
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: and a start that shook mentioned. They beat the Giants,

988
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and the Jets beat so that it's fine,

989
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: but this is they never scored more than twenty seven

990
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: points in any of those games. And so my favorite

991
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: story during the broadcast, I don't know if they were

992
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: talking about Teddy or was this tight end Souberg about

993
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: how he does not have TV at home, so he

994
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: didn't know Gruden had been fired until the whole next day.

995
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: I was like, well, he doesn't have internet either, Um,

996
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He's never watched TV. He's like all day

997
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: and then he gets home and he just that's it.

998
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: And I think, you, this is something you said as well. Greg,

999
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: when I was pushing back on the Broncos as I

1000
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: often do, was Broncos fans getting mad about that, and

1001
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: I was talking about their schedule, and He's like, well,

1002
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: good teams beat up on bad teams. That's what good

1003
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: teams do. No, Actually, good teams beat good teams and

1004
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: they win those games. Beating bad teams is okay, whatever.

1005
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: You gotta beat some good teams, and we have not

1006
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: seen Denver do that yet this season. And their strengths

1007
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: their strengths, and a lot of it is injuries, you know,

1008
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: losing six or seven starters. They were not a team

1009
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 1: that could that could deal with that um but some

1010
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: of their strengths in the secondary, we thought they were

1011
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: going to be great. That feels a little overrated right now.

1012
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: And certainly the depth of their their skill positions have

1013
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: been diminished to a point where, you know, the Browns

1014
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: have to be very excited that the Broncos are the

1015
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: team they're playing on Thursday, will get to premium. Broncos

1016
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: could be equally excited, right. I just mean that that

1017
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: could be a get right game for for one of

1018
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: those teams that absolutely will be all right, Let's take

1019
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: a break and then we will continue on. They got

1020
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: fourth and one from the Giants. Three from a bunch

1021
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: to the right, here comes Robert Would. They picked the

1022
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: hand off his way, roll right, throw right to the pilot,

1023
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. He's got it, touchdown l JB along with

1024
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: the call for CASPN. You know Marie Jones, true m

1025
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: j D. Every buddy loves in London. Who's still in

1026
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: London this week? So what did he just He tells

1027
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: the Rams, I'll see you in a couple of weeks,

1028
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: and JB just sits in that booth by himself like

1029
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: Vince Gully. We have to do some digging on this

1030
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: one and got a good set up. It's a great

1031
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: move by m. Matthew Stafford through three of his four

1032
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in a point second quarter for the Rams,

1033
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 1: including that connection to Cooper. Copy continues to be other

1034
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: worldly this season. The Rams cruise to a thirty eleven

1035
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: win at the meadow Lands Mark. Sounds like this one

1036
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 1: went the way everyone pretty much expected. Healthy, good team,

1037
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: beats up on injury, decimated bad precisely, a total butt wamping,

1038
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: the kind of game where you know, recovering these things.

1039
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: Did you write down boat whomping. Total swamping is how

1040
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: I how I described the game to myself. Um, it

1041
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: was it was a tough bla that's how I w

1042
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: h O mph And it's highlighted. And he also could

1043
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: I say he also wrote traveled three thousand miles to

1044
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: drop a dirty bomb on the genus. It's it's constantly

1045
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 1: we're always talking about these now the charges are an example.

1046
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: You West Coast team that goes east, it's these stats

1047
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 1: and they're sleeping through it. The MS had that narrative

1048
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: and they, I mean, have you seen how these guys

1049
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: fly to games now? It's not ninety four anymore, exactly,

1050
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: not taking the plane with the propellers on the side. No,

1051
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: you're not bagging steerage with like pets and bags like

1052
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: if if they can ask Trent Green to overcome jet

1053
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: Lag to announce the game, I think the RAMS will

1054
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: be fine traveling like four hours in a private Plane's

1055
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: very true. I mean the jet Lag team looked to

1056
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: be the giants, and this was you know, Daniel Jones

1057
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: had two turnovers coming into this game, and there were

1058
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons to look at Daniel Jones and say,

1059
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: maybe he's finally rounding into shape today was a master

1060
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: uh strip sacked picked both. Let you know, four turnovers

1061
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: led to twenty one points for the Rams and Stafford,

1062
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: whose finger was hurt two thursdays ago, looked clean throwing

1063
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: the ball. And you mentioned Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup. This

1064
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: is from ramspr in the last thirty five years. Here

1065
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: are the list of players with six hundred yards receiving

1066
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: in seven touchdowns through weeks six Cooper Cup and in

1067
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven Randy Moss. That's the list. Listen.

1068
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: That is such an interesting staff because we all love

1069
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. He's been an impact player for them since

1070
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: he came into the league. I think he was a

1071
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: second round pick um. But the fact that he's taken

1072
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: his game and he had a reconstructive knee surgery in

1073
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: the mix here as well, he's taken his game to

1074
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: this level. I don't think anybody saw this coming like that.

1075
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: He's like at a like a rich Man's Adam Feeling level.

1076
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: Not to go apples to apples. Someone called them Steve Smith,

1077
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: and ever since then I've been watching him as if

1078
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: he's Steve. He's a little bigger in Steve than I'm

1079
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: like I can that peak peaque? Steve Smith, I gotta

1080
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: give Dana Dyer mike crap. I mean, he kind of

1081
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: was in on this cook Cup thing like before the draft,

1082
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: and he's doing his job if he he was correct,

1083
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: that's what his job. They are. They are five and one.

1084
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: The top of the NFC is like really good. I

1085
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: mean that it's a very basic comment. But like Cowboys,

1086
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: as Bucks, Cardinals, Rams are all five and one or

1087
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: better and they all have to feel like, well, we

1088
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: can win the Super Bowl this year. Of course, of

1089
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: course they all feel like that, and they've all it's

1090
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a big, you know, tough race, especially in

1091
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: that division. One of those teams is gonna have to

1092
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: play three road games. Between the Cardinals and Rams. At

1093
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: this point, it feels like a two team rights. I

1094
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: will tell you you know, Dan, we grew up watching

1095
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: these g men back in the day, and there wasn't

1096
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: a lot of this back in the eighties and early nineties.

1097
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: But you could audibly hear the Giants fans having a

1098
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: bad time at this game. It was it was rough.

1099
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: We do have a little bit of breaking news though,

1100
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: really putting gravers like I just want to let you

1101
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 1: know to eleven. The final score is a score of GAMI.

1102
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: It is the one thousand and sixty seven or unique

1103
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: final score in NFL history. I know that that categorizes

1104
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: breaking news on this show. I'm assuming the only thing

1105
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: I hate more than score GAMI is win probability. But

1106
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: what is why do you what is for unnecessary use

1107
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: of breaking news? It's a nice special breaking news. You

1108
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: got the news hours ago. Well you didn't know that.

1109
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: You didn't know that I did because for some reason, Ealie.

1110
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: Well also because you just spent three minutes looking at this,

1111
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: so you know I exactly. I've been um living out

1112
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles for eleven years now, but I'm

1113
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: always in my heart I'm a New Yorker, and um,

1114
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: it's been a tough tough ride for New York sports

1115
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: for the past decade or so. And Giants fans, you know,

1116
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: you turned to football as a something to fall back

1117
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: on after the baseball season turns at uh and then

1118
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: the Giants are dead and buried by the middle of October.

1119
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 1: And that's exactly where they are. There's no coming back

1120
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: for the Giants from this. So now it's next season

1121
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: and the Knicks are undefeated. In the preseason and maybe

1122
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: that turns out, maybe you get excited at the the

1123
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: NFC wild Card, like the seventh New York City Ballet

1124
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: areus Tony was the one reason to be excited about

1125
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: this team. And he goes out with an injury early

1126
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: in this game, and that just feels so timid. And

1127
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: he has three catches for like thirty six yards in

1128
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: the first couple of minutes then he was out, and

1129
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 1: so all right, we can't make you wait any longer,

1130
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: and we thank you fans um for your patients. Here

1131
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: is the Texans Cults analysis burst and Tin wins outside

1132
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: zone and big hole Taylor thirty down on the far sideline. Ticktoey,

1133
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: he's at the fifty, he's at the forty. Cuts back,

1134
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 1: he's at the thirty twenty the tan and he's finally

1135
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: cracked down inside the Tin. He'll be trapped at the

1136
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: four yard line on a one. Jonathan Taylor the biggest

1137
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: gallop all day, first bell for the Colts. I was

1138
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: chasting those curly fries. I don't know, I don't want

1139
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: the context now. Put that. Put that in the in

1140
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: the vaults for best cause of the year. Just the

1141
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: curly flies alone. That was Rick Venturry. I think with

1142
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: the curly fry comment with Matt Taylor of w f N,

1143
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: I oh yeah, Jonathan Taylor, he's on a roll now.

1144
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: The running backs set up a touchdown with that eighty

1145
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: three yard burst. He scored two more touchdowns of his own,

1146
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: and he thirty one three romped by the Colts over

1147
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: the Texans. Carson Wentz also threw two touchdowns for Indy,

1148
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: who bounced back beautiful from the savagery of their Monday

1149
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,399
Speaker 1: night meltdown to the Ravens six days earlier. Greg life

1150
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: in the a f C South is good and how

1151
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: it provides the soft landings in this guy. That's true.

1152
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: By the Tuesday, the Colts could be only one game

1153
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: back of the Titans if the Bills can can win

1154
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: that Monday night er. And I like that. We saw

1155
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: with the Colts a little bit of identity here which

1156
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: we have not seen, which was blosive place. Paris Campbell

1157
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: catches a fifty one yard touchdown on a really nice

1158
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: throw by Wentz. Then Paris Campbell goes out with an injury,

1159
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: so you kind of got the ultimate Paris Campbell performance.

1160
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: But you also got fifty two yards on a catch

1161
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: from t Y Hilton, who was playing his first game

1162
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: of the year. And you had that explosive Taylor play

1163
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: and you had some explosive defensive plays. It didn't feel

1164
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: like this game was thirty one to three. There they were.

1165
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: They were very even in yardage. The Texans actually had

1166
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 1: more first downs, but the Cults were in control. And

1167
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: their defense has really shown up. I know they didn't

1168
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: finish out that Ravens game, but they've really shown up

1169
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: the last uh what seven you know, for the most part,

1170
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: the last three games, when they didn't at all in

1171
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: the first month of the season. And that gives him

1172
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: some hope that at least we can crawl back. And

1173
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz keeps getting better every week. Really, I was

1174
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna ask, why does Jonathan Taylor, who's playing the way

1175
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: he is, have only fourteen carries? We had now because

1176
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: he was like six for eight before the eighty three

1177
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: yard in the third quarter. They were not running the

1178
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: ball very well until well and Wentz had twenty attempts.

1179
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: They had forty eight offensive plays. That's less than the Patriots.

1180
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: And in that abnormal game, and I mean the very

1181
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: strange game. But Davis Mills, I look at the New

1182
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: England game now, and I'm wondering was that just total

1183
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously that you know, he's got a lot

1184
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: to work on, but that seems like it stands out

1185
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: as a total aberration because he came crashing back to earth.

1186
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: More or less, he made a couple throws on the

1187
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: move that you didn't hate, but ultimately they scored three

1188
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: points against him. Kind of a He's a tough cop

1189
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: in general, because not only is he not like a

1190
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: premium draft pick quarterback, he's also playing on like one

1191
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: of the most talent poor roster. Right may they actually

1192
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: put up three fifty yards, they go nine and seventeen.

1193
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: He made a couple of plays, but it's I know

1194
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: you're looking at Barry Davis Mills Market Analysis on Thursday

1195
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 1: pointed to that no, no, no, I mean what I

1196
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: wrote last week for our website was completely opposite. I mean,

1197
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: I do he does have Brandon Cooks who is quietly

1198
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: having pretty awesome do keep score though, and it was

1199
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:54,919
Speaker 1: thirty one, two three at the end of the game,

1200
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: so that doesn't reflect probably well, it doesn't work too

1201
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: on the quarterback that I think in three of a

1202
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: four games they've been in single digits. Problem. By the way,

1203
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback that used to be their quarterback, Deshaun Watson,

1204
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: is still on the team. Some of these teams that

1205
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: have been connected to Deshaun Watson are not having great

1206
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: seasons with their respective quarterbacks. That's continues to kind of

1207
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: lurk on the periphery. Houston has lost five straight overall,

1208
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: six of their last seven against the Colts. That is that.

1209
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Detroit, where the Bengals look to

1210
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: build some momentum. Receiver goes in check motion, he throws,

1211
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: it's caught Mixon streaking down the sideline to chase Fan

1212
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: runs it into the end zone. What a call? What

1213
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: a block? Touchdown? Cincinnati. Oh, they having fun now. Dan

1214
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: Horrid and Dave Lapham w c K y Joe Burrow

1215
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: tied a career high with three touchdown passes, leading the

1216
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: Bengals to an easy thirty eleven win over the still

1217
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: wind unless Detroit Lions at Ford Field. Greg The Bengals

1218
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: have already equaled last year's win total. You're drinking that

1219
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: orange juice, yes, because of the decause it's good. That

1220
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: was that was good. They have a lot of juice

1221
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: juice was the right word. There. There is something and

1222
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: this is why maybe you don't invest in defense because

1223
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: it's so unpredictable, But there is something indefinable. When a

1224
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: defense has juice. It's just like hustle and energy week

1225
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: after week, whether you're winning, whether you're losing. This Bengals

1226
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: defense has juice, and they squeeze the life out of

1227
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: this lion. I didn't think I was gonna get this

1228
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: amount of run. It really is true, and they've had

1229
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: it all six weeks and that keeps them in tough

1230
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: games and it helps them win a game like this

1231
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: easy where the offense took a while to get going,

1232
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: but you know what, eventually it did get going and

1233
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 1: you blew them out. I mean the Bengals defense a

1234
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: coordinator is you know, absorbed, probably to thirty poison arrows

1235
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: from this. We love the lu on a room, Oh

1236
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: Captain lou Way to stick with them. You know, the

1237
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 1: easy thing would have been to just fire him with us.

1238
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: He was not about Taylor. You want to talk, guys,

1239
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: take some slings of arrows on this, but I'm not

1240
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: ready to give him too. I think it's like when

1241
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: someone is not doing their job for three or four

1242
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: years in a row. You stick with them. That's the

1243
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: lesson here. Three or four is to say, I'm just

1244
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: saying there are people out there doing that. This is

1245
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: year three for Zach Taylor, I believe, and they won

1246
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: one or two games this first year. They won four

1247
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: games last year, So that we talked about it, he

1248
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: was on the hot seat. They needed to show something.

1249
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man. Again, Sometimes I feel like when

1250
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: we talk about head coaches, if we decide we liked them,

1251
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: we give them credit. And if we decided we don't

1252
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: really like him, we give credit. Let's give and Jamaar,

1253
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Chase and Joe pick and choose which coaches are doing

1254
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: a good job. Sometimes that's on my radar in this room. Well,

1255
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 1: we can evaluate, like if you're gonna kill Zach Taylor

1256
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: for the team making no progress in the first two years,

1257
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: when the team makes progress, you know it's maybe not

1258
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: I I kind of I still watch their offense and

1259
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: I do want more. I think they can be better.

1260
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: I kind of think they will be better. And this

1261
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: game was a good like example of it. They really

1262
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: were held and checked for much of it until that

1263
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: mixing screen pass where it was a blown coverage, but

1264
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: then Jamar Chase had one of the defining plays of

1265
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: his rookie season with an awesome block running down the

1266
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: field and Mixing is going crazy and he's just like

1267
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: pointing to it like that's Jamar's touchdown. That's Jamar's touchdown.

1268
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 1: And then Jamar does the Jamar Chase thing where he

1269
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: gets a fifty three yard catch two in the game

1270
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: he gets it's just a week after week he does

1271
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: something special that that really makes you think they have

1272
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: something really good. They're a fun story this year. You

1273
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: wish that that kicked in and hit the upright last

1274
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: week because then the Bengals will be flying high at

1275
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: five and one, But four and two puts them in

1276
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: second place in the a f C North, and I

1277
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: think that's one of the biggest surprises of the young season.

1278
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: One last note on the Lions. Yes, the NFL is

1279
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: only winless team now because we'll talk about the Jaguars later.

1280
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: They've now lost ten straight going back to last season.

1281
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: That is now the league's longest active losing streak. And

1282
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, who's you know, relentlessly positive, loves his guys,

1283
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: believes in his team. Um he couldn't help but be

1284
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 1: a little bit critical of Jared Goff after the game.

1285
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Let's just listening on that. Yeah, look, I think I

1286
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: will say this. I still don't feel like, Um, I

1287
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: don't feel like we can accurately judge him one way

1288
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: or another. UM, I don't feel that way yet. Now

1289
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: I will say this. UM chose those words. Here's the

1290
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 1: real feeling that I feel like he needs to step

1291
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 1: up more than he has and I think he I

1292
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 1: think he needs to help us, you know, just like

1293
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: everybody else. And let me check this step. I think

1294
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna need to pulling down on his

1295
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: shoulders here, and it's time to step up and make

1296
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: some throws and do something. That's it. I thought that

1297
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: the grave is he still talking? I thought the grave

1298
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: Digger had just hit pause for effect there, which would

1299
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: have been a classic grave digger move. Get that grave

1300
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: Digger drop in there. You've got to build a brand, Graver.

1301
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm giving you a brand on a plate.

1302
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: Take it. You're talking to a brand coach here. I

1303
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: can promise you that. UM. But I look, and this

1304
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: is good news for you, Mark, because you know who's

1305
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: number two on the step chart as the well, you

1306
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: don't the president of the blau Hard Association. What do

1307
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: you mean? I don't? I do? Oh, you kind of

1308
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: were giving me a blank look when I was trying

1309
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: to set you up there. I mean, I'm running the

1310
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: fan club into you. I mean, year three or four,

1311
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: the fan club here, take it, take it and run.

1312
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Golf is oh and thirteen. With every

1313
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: coach not named Sean McVeigh, he's played pretty well, he's

1314
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: been fine. But with cand today was not today was

1315
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: that he did not play well sixty one yards in

1316
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: the first half. And the reason they did is because

1317
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: of all of them. It's not just Jared Goff. I mean,

1318
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: he's been a little spicies because of that. But but

1319
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: he missed them open throats. I'm a little surprised though,

1320
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: because he he measured those thoughts as much as I've

1321
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: ever heard of coach measure of thought before saying it.

1322
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: But he's not there's no phony. I like that, He's

1323
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: not just dropping phony lines because that was real raw.

1324
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean, is Jared Goff like a Dan Campbell type

1325
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: of guy? Ultimately? Is he is he a kneecap fighter?

1326
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: Is Dan Campbell ultimately feeling like he wants to get

1327
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: for one year. People acting like with the scrutin controversy,

1328
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: Um stunt Oh, we're stunned to learn that the NFL

1329
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: is so chummy behind the scenes. All these guys know

1330
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: each other all across the league. What are you talking? Wait,

1331
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: what are you talking about specifically here? What do you

1332
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: mean the chummy part chumming it? Well, I don't mean

1333
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: chumming this like the way Gruden was being chummy on email,

1334
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: but just they all know each other and they're all

1335
01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: when you see these guys at League of bench Back,

1336
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: I did know those guys knew each other. I'm not

1337
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: saying that Dan Campbell knows Sean McVeigh, but I'm not

1338
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: saying there's not a possibility that Dan Campbell sent Sean

1339
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 1: McVeigh text and night like this guy sucks well, or

1340
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: that there came from the rams. I mean, like, yeah,

1341
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: they all knew who golf was. All right, let's take

1342
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: a break. Three receivers, lot quick, cal Rodgers tixs pump

1343
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,959
Speaker 1: fixed once and again, scrambles to us right fine time

1344
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: takes him felt pay to the five and for the touchdown.

1345
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Rogers justin put Hello, Packers leader twenty three to fourteen.

1346
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: Wayne Larava with the call w T MJ. Aaron Rodgers

1347
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: through for two touchdowns, ran for another score and we'll

1348
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: get to that in one second. He led the way

1349
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: for the Packers in fourteen win over the Bears. The

1350
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 1: Packers have now won five straight after that week one

1351
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: set back against the Saints in Jacksonville, which feels like

1352
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 1: it was a million years ago. And as for Aaron Rodgers,

1353
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: it was more mastery over the Bears. The Packers beat

1354
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: them for the twentieth time in twenty three games counting

1355
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They improved to twenty two and five with

1356
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: Rogers as a starter against Chicago and after that clinching

1357
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: score that we just played, Rogers was very vocal with

1358
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,919
Speaker 1: the fans at Soldier Field and Grave Digger, I believe

1359
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: we have that. Yes, I still own you. I still

1360
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: own you to the Bears. Mark, I know you're very

1361
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: You're not a big Aaron Rodgers guy. Where did you

1362
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: where did you come down on this latest Well? It's

1363
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's factual, so I'll like, let's

1364
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: give him that. Um. But he's spent you know, days

1365
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:53,479
Speaker 1: before this game waxing poetic about how much Chicago meant

1366
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: to him, how he spent days in the past. There

1367
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: was a night he walked down the Chicago streets and

1368
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: met a mother in the sun and took photos with

1369
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: them and walked for blocks, and the Sun tweeted the

1370
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: you know his his photo is Aaron Rodgers, so you

1371
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 1: know that child's sake. I love I love Chicago if

1372
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: I was Aaron Rodgers, of course, But I mean, if

1373
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: you're that child, you're thinking, what's happened here? I mean,

1374
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: this guy now has just told my city to go

1375
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 1: take a dirt nap. I mean, that's sports. I love that.

1376
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I love it. Maybe he even knows it might be

1377
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: his last time there as a as a member of

1378
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: the Packers. Has to be sweet. He was going up

1379
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: against a great defense, or very good defense at least. Yeah,

1380
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: this was a a nice performance by the Packers. The Bears,

1381
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about it. Their defense has gotten

1382
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: better and better. It's been solid this season, and and

1383
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Green Bay wasn't just gonna walk over them, and they didn't.

1384
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: This was this was a battle, and Justin Fields, unfortunately

1385
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 1: for the Bears, was not able to really get anything

1386
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: going in this game, he was at I believe early

1387
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter he was at nine yards passing,

1388
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: and uh, that's going to continue to be an issue

1389
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: for Chicago. The offense is inability to put together drives

1390
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: and keep up with the team that has a big offense.

1391
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: Because what happened in this game was Chicago's d was game.

1392
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: They battled back and forth. But you can only do

1393
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: that for so long before a good offense gets a

1394
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: better review. And that's eventually what happened, and that's the

1395
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: Rogers scramble that effectively ended this game. Aaron Jones and

1396
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon. You know there were years under Roger's

1397
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 1: where they didn't really have a good run game, and

1398
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: I this is right now with Kareem Hunt out of

1399
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: the mix in Cleveland, is I would say the second

1400
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 1: best running back tandem in the league, other than maybe

1401
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Zeke and Pollard or you could argue es two are

1402
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: Dylan's good another GOODA Cuns picked that everyone hammered. Uh,

1403
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: and he adds something to their team. I've been focused

1404
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: on kind of what the Packers don't have, but what

1405
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: they do have, your right, Like, they have a good

1406
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: running game and they have a defense it's ultimately gotten

1407
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: a little better throughout the course of the season, and

1408
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: they have some potential to get better and get some

1409
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: more players back, so maybe they don't need to be

1410
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: a lights out offense. It feels like a slightly underwhelmed

1411
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: in five and one, but it's five and one, and

1412
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 1: it should be said that the Bear has made this

1413
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: a game. This is you know, rogers Um. That touchdown

1414
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,759
Speaker 1: to Scramble came after Justin Fields connected with Darnell Mooney

1415
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: on a five yard touchdown pass cut the lead to

1416
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: three with eight and a half minutes to play. But

1417
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: as you see it happened with Tampa Bay on Thursday night.

1418
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 1: These teams that are just a cut above even if

1419
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 1: you get close to them, even Dallas today, Dallas today,

1420
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: they will say, Okay, that's cute. We're pawning with you

1421
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna go finish thing this thing off.

1422
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: And that's what they did. I mean, you know, again,

1423
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: this show is so heavily based on uh self branding,

1424
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: self promotion. Hit it. That's just another lock I think

1425
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 1: I was trying to make. I was trying to make

1426
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: a football analysis point, and I see, like Mark really

1427
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: edgy in the corner of my eye, like looking and

1428
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: pointing at Grave Digger. I'm like, I'm like, what, Maybe

1429
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: he's got some breaking news here, maybe he's got something

1430
01:10:52,439 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: hot to add. I mean you, I mean we spent

1431
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: four minutes discussing Dan's lock. I got a lock. W't too,

1432
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: I didn't even miss d and I are tied a

1433
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: trying to bury I'm trying to bury the locks. I

1434
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: should have reminded Dan Greg the Chiefs unlesser achievement very brave,

1435
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: all right, any other thoughts in this game? Anybody kind

1436
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: of what you expected from this ball game? So let's

1437
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: move on. I still own you. That's it's great. It's

1438
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: pretty hard. I like it. I would love to yell

1439
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: that at a crowd of fans. How great would that feel?

1440
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: I own you? And here you go of fifty three

1441
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: yard or he kicked a fifty four yard or a

1442
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: minute ago, kid Matthew Right win the game for the Jaguar.

1443
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: That was brilliant. Put it down right, kicks it up

1444
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: the yard is good, good, good Right in the Jaguars

1445
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: have wanted one off a three yard field goal by

1446
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: Matthew Right. What a magnificent ending in London. Holy cow, Wow,

1447
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety nine days ago was the last

1448
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: Jaguars win. Oh yeah, that calls for the Bungos w

1449
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: O k V. Great call for Frank Frangie jaff logging

1450
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: in the old pass arting specialists for again green Tony

1451
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: Caselli and that moved as well. Maybe anyway, Matthew writes,

1452
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: fifty three yard field goals time expired gave the London

1453
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars victory over the Dolphins at the Big Top

1454
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:56,560
Speaker 1: thot Totty Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Right playing just

1455
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: this third game for the Jags, also drilled a launch

1456
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: fifty four yard and to tie the game at twenty

1457
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 1: with less than four minutes to play. And it is

1458
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 1: a game win mark for the Jaguars that snaps a

1459
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 1: twenty game losing streak. While at the same time I

1460
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: think it sinks the Brian Flores are in Miami to

1461
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: its lowest point. Yeah, I mean, outside of Washington, they're

1462
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: the most disappointing team in the league. I would not

1463
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,759
Speaker 1: have been surprised if someone told me back in August

1464
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: they'd be five and one, one in five. The floor

1465
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: has fallen out to some degree. I knew. I listened

1466
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: to to I had a good game, and this was

1467
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: what I actually forgot about the London game last night.

1468
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: And it woke up midway through the second quarter of

1469
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: this which is an unpleasant way to start your work

1470
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: day to find out you're already behind. But to everyone

1471
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: was going nuts over to a start, but I thought

1472
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: it was It was a really good day for Trevor Lawrence,

1473
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: who maybe outside of that Bengals game, this was his

1474
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: finest showing and you can kind of see it with

1475
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: their offense at times that you know, who knows what's

1476
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:00,719
Speaker 1: gonna happen. With the whole Urban Myer thing. I found

1477
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer slightly annoying. Um celebrating this game at the end.

1478
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I mean, I I

1479
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 1: do in general, but why it could be entirely unfair.

1480
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 1: It's just the body language, much self satisfaction for a

1481
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: guy that was and five with a It's like, hey,

1482
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm getting on the plane home. I wasn't totally sure

1483
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: if I was going to get to go on the plane. Huh,

1484
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: But I'm just get on the plane with your team's on.

1485
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: Let's start there. Borton might not let me get on

1486
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: the plane. But it's it's happened in the past. Coaches

1487
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 1: do get fired coming off the London game. But you

1488
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 1: know even this quote after the game and referring to

1489
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: the kicker again who saved your butt, Matt Matthew Wright

1490
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: urban Meyer said, I don't think anybody on our team

1491
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: ever heard him speak until about ten minutes ago. I

1492
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 1: don't know something about this guy rubbed me the wrong

1493
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 1: way and was going to overtime. The game was going

1494
01:14:56,600 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: to overtime until Brian floores Cat and I don't say

1495
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: this lightly. One of the all time worst stretches of

1496
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: game management I have ever seen from a head coach.

1497
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: There were an incredible amount of mistakes, but that last one, uh,

1498
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: was that he took the time out to make them

1499
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 1: theoretically punt the ball to him on fourth down with

1500
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: with eight seconds ago. Instead they could have they could

1501
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: have just run a Hail Mary. So you're giving them

1502
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 1: a free hail Mary because it would have taken that long.

1503
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 1: But instead the Jaguars smartly, I'm sorry it was five

1504
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: seconds left. The Jaguars smartly ran a play where they

1505
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: got a first down in only four seconds and then

1506
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal. Which was creative and it was

1507
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: great execution. The players deserved a ton of credit for that.

1508
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,600
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure what flores was expecting there. I

1509
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 1: guess he thought they would punt it, but it didn't

1510
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: make sense with five seconds and for that to happen

1511
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: after he didn't take a time out on third and

1512
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: twenty when there was about fifty one seconds left, showing

1513
01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 1: no faith into h or his defense in that moment,

1514
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: after he had already challenged two plays in a row

1515
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: that he had very little chance of winning and lost

1516
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 1: both time outs, which put them in a bad spot

1517
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 1: after they played so conservative on offense the last couple

1518
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: of drives to set up that Jaguars. It was a rough,

1519
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 1: rough couple of quarter, a couple of minutes for Brian.

1520
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to know how many times in a season

1521
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: a coach loses two challenges and a half because you know,

1522
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: this isn't all right. There are people in your ear

1523
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: saying no, no, no, we don't do this, like, don't

1524
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: challenge this. To lose two is not good. So yes,

1525
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins obviously taken out a lot of water. And

1526
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 1: here's what Florence had to say after the game. You know,

1527
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm not doingod enough job. Again, these guys ready to play. Um,

1528
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: I'm not playing consistently enough. Um So when I coaching

1529
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: well enough and when I playing well enough, A big

1530
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: part I don't want to say big part because I

1531
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,080
Speaker 1: don't want to take away from what the Patriots did

1532
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 1: over those twenty years, but a part of it, uh,

1533
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: the success was the constant cycling of these a f C.

1534
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 1: East teams, UH from one coach to the other, one

1535
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: quarterback to the other, Dolphins, Jets, Bills, and never finding

1536
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 1: any type of momentum. And now Dolphins fans are asking

1537
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: themselves again, where are we at right now? Do we

1538
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 1: still think we have the right guy at coach? Do

1539
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: we still think we have the right quarterback? It's a

1540
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they don't, because it's just it's a

1541
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 1: bad star to season. There's time to to write the

1542
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 1: ship still. But I mean the fact that we're even

1543
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 1: having this conversation tells you how often I think they

1544
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: are a dark horse. And I know that we we

1545
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 1: don't bring this up, but Deshaun Watson sits out there

1546
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: as a as a trade deadline possibility for them. I

1547
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: just still think the owner their owner has shown he's

1548
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: capable of surprising you in many ways with that possibly,

1549
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: who knows. I'm sure Floris isn't feeling too good. I'm

1550
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: more concerned about their team building. But Floris has a

1551
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,799
Speaker 1: huge hand in that him and Chris Career have cycled

1552
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: through so many different players over the last couple of years.

1553
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 1: In these picks haven't quite It is worth pointing out

1554
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 1: they were missing, you know, three of their top four

1555
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers today and their two cornerbacks Navy and Howard

1556
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: and Byron Jones, were just supposed to be the identity

1557
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,560
Speaker 1: of that team. I know, I'm just pointing out, like

1558
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: a lot of their best players weren't on the field today.

1559
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: But they they lack, you know, they lack anything that

1560
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: they do well. You know, they really are struggling in

1561
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 1: terms of their third down even they dominated you what

1562
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: you miss, what you slept through was perfect football. They dominated,

1563
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: and they should have been up by way more than

1564
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 1: thirteen three, and they again they got they got into

1565
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: a shell before the end of the first half. They

1566
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 1: they could have easily been up in this game something

1567
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,800
Speaker 1: like three and it just wasn't. It's a disturbing backslide

1568
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:43,759
Speaker 1: because everything. I can't believe talked about this in August

1569
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: and leading into the season or early September, this Watson Dolphins,

1570
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: Dallian's um this forbidden dance that hypothetically could be going

1571
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: on right now. When it was early September, it was like,

1572
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 1: they're not going to do that. But I remember saying, like,

1573
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: if it's October, if one in four, one in five

1574
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: two hasn't established himself or whatever, like it's right there

1575
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: now the trade deadlines November one. Keep an eye on

1576
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: this because you know that that owner Stephen Ross is

1577
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: impatient and probably super hyper annoyed and thinking I need

1578
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: to hit a major reboot on this franchise, will do that.

1579
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,559
Speaker 1: Anything could happen. I'm also it was it a bad

1580
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:23,799
Speaker 1: move for me to even verbalize that I was asleep

1581
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,679
Speaker 1: during the part of part of any NFL. I don't

1582
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: think it's fine. It's fine for two to three more times. Now.

1583
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: You did miss one of the most fun moments of

1584
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: the weekend, which was a Dolphins fan ran onto the

1585
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: field and almost kicked and weirdly in weirdly in the

1586
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,720
Speaker 1: UK for some reason, like no one tackled them. No,

1587
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: everyone was cool. A player literally like low five them

1588
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars. It almost was like he almost got

1589
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: the kickoff off. It usually blocked that from television field.

1590
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:56,720
Speaker 1: That's a well, that's a that's a uniquely American thing.

1591
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: Perhaps I don't know, but I always found it, although

1592
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 1: I've been a stadium where this has happened as well.

1593
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 1: When the security guards get to the guy and they

1594
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: just like concuss him and pile drive him into the

1595
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: dirt face first at eighteen miles per hour running speed.

1596
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: Everyone's like yeah, and it's like does that really fit?

1597
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Just was standing there around the players. There's another view

1598
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: of it from a fan who was in the crowd

1599
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: for a solid thirty seconds and he's like talking to

1600
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 1: the players, he's talking with the official. Is very strange.

1601
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 1: If nothing else this game it was. It was not

1602
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: a good game and these weren't good teams, but at

1603
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 1: least the London fans got kind of a fun, crazy ending.

1604
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: So we had we had reports that they were that

1605
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 1: many of the London fans were nonplussed, but not sorry

1606
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: some when we're getting tweets but there is being thrown.

1607
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,759
Speaker 1: But on balance, I think it was another successful international series.

1608
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like when you when you run onto

1609
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: the field, you could typically say, because everyone's like, hey man,

1610
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: these guys are a threat to the players, and you've

1611
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 1: got to enforce to make sure that you don't get

1612
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: Most of these guys just bombed, fat guys with shirts off,

1613
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 1: waving their arms around. Do we really need to try

1614
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 1: to kill them? I want to know. The Jaggars player

1615
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: who came over and like dapped him up, was like,

1616
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: oh man, good, try man. We don't condone this activities

1617
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: and let the bosses on the shadowy league figures that

1618
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: are listening. We don't condone fans running out the wheel,

1619
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 1: but perhaps we just just shepherd them off the field

1620
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 1: into the little jail cell under the stadium. We don't

1621
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: the beating is unnecessary. That's my taste. Good goods A right,

1622
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: there wasn't expected. Let's move on. Maybe the last time

1623
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: you rod seize the ball. Tina Smith will drop deep,

1624
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: he'll drop He'll take clost the football the cover board.

1625
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: Devin Bush, who circles the right way. He almost wants

1626
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: the call, but he's getting at the sixteen force by

1627
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: the defensive star ah Mike Direko with the call. Jane

1628
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 1: oh Oh Jane oh Oh. Greggy's must fumble in overtime

1629
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: recovered by Devin Bush t J Watt making the big

1630
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:14,640
Speaker 1: plays he does every single week. Chris Boswell kicks the

1631
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: field goal a couple of plays later. Final twenty three

1632
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 1: Steelers Seahawks tent and ot. Pittsburgh gets back to three

1633
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 1: and three. The Seattle Seahawks, without Russell Wilson for the

1634
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:34,799
Speaker 1: first time, fall to two and four. Greggy listen, Gino

1635
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: he did some things. He did some things. That was

1636
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:41,879
Speaker 1: a conservative game plan by Shane Waldron and the Seahawks,

1637
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: but they came back. They had fallen behind. They pushed

1638
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,719
Speaker 1: it to overtime. But that Geno mistake, it's always haunted

1639
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: him his whole career. It happened again. You seem to

1640
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 1: enjoy it a little too much, you know, You're just

1641
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: like saying, this is the worst game of the year,

1642
01:22:57,640 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: and I don't like football anywhere. I want to go

1643
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: home home. And then and then that was the general

1644
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: It was not a good Geno fumbles. And then it's

1645
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: like Dad was like, yeah, yeah, do you know why

1646
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: I celebrated like that because you love Geno. So that's

1647
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, it was. It wasn't a

1648
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson like performance, but it was. It was out okay.

1649
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: If Zach Wilson went to Zach Wilson, did the attempt

1650
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdown and come back. If insert yet

1651
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: did this, you'd be happy. Troupe is strong with you, Greg,

1652
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 1: But go on, Geno blew the game. Now the tables yours.

1653
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: It was very conservative. They ran the ball well, they

1654
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: came from behind. His problem has always been taking sacks

1655
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: uh and he did, and they didn't trust their protection

1656
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 1: to hold up. I think that's why they were so conservative.

1657
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 1: And it makes sense. Alex Sie, high Smith and TJ

1658
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,600
Speaker 1: what went wild? I mean the box scores insane for

1659
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: Highsmith and what considering how few times they had real

1660
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 1: dropbacks there. Offensive line got drilled there. But I thought

1661
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: we were headed towards the tie. That's that's what Mark

1662
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: was rooting for, because it didn't seem like Ben Roethlisberger

1663
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 1: was gonna do anything either. He had five point seven

1664
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: yards for attempt on forty throws, like he did less

1665
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,360
Speaker 1: than Gina. I mean, the Seahawks in that first half,

1666
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: you never would have predicted that it would have wound

1667
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,719
Speaker 1: up in overtime to begin with, he had sixties seven

1668
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: sixty five total yards, five punts. They're playing around their quarterback.

1669
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 1: They came out in the second half and ran the

1670
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 1: ball really well for two straight touchdown drives, and you

1671
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: know you're looking at two essentially defunct offenses. I mean,

1672
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: big Ben, you know, did a little big gen thing

1673
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 1: for a bit there, but then he I know, I

1674
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 1: don't trust this. I thought that he can't a big

1675
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: person named Jen be successful. Well I didn't say what

1676
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 1: he did. Maybe maybe they won the game, so maybe,

1677
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean he fumbled the ball, just like dropped it.

1678
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:54,200
Speaker 1: That was bad. Well how about this another ex jet

1679
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 1: um Jamal Adams, you know, has the ballchet off his

1680
01:24:58,240 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: head would have that would have been a huge inner

1681
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: option for them, And you know that looks like Ben

1682
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger said, I'm sick of everyone's saying I don't have

1683
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: a strong arm anymore. I'm gonna try to throw the

1684
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: ball as hard as I can on one of the

1685
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 1: biggest plays of the game, right off Jamal Adams's head,

1686
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 1: fifteen yards away from me. And he did it. By

1687
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,799
Speaker 1: the way you could have he could have given Javala

1688
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 1: a light shovel pass and it would have clanked off

1689
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 1: Jamal's helmet. He has no uh ball skills. Now I'm

1690
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: not salty, I'm fine. Everything's good. That The thing about

1691
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 1: this is it's been a long day of football and

1692
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 1: the game started at six thirty in the morning, not

1693
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 1: for me but in London. Uh And when you get

1694
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: to the Sunday night game and it's just trudging along

1695
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,639
Speaker 1: and it's a Geno Smith led Seahawks against late period

1696
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg Steelers, there's just it's hard to squeeze the

1697
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: juice out of this game, Greg. And the fact that

1698
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: its competitive and close and come back and and big

1699
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: plays as you could possibly want, but it feels like

1700
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 1: these two teams aren't going anywhere. To your point, m

1701
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: that's you said, there's many big plays as you could

1702
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 1: possibly want. I'm saying in a game like this in

1703
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: terms of like a comeback, and they were like meaningful

1704
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 1: moments in the fourth quarter. I mean it was a

1705
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 1: drag Darryl Taylor, who has been such a great story

1706
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: getting stretchered off and stopping the game late for so

1707
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: long like that that put a damper on it. Like

1708
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was great football. I'm just saying

1709
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: it was like Michelle Tafoya did mention the Taylor because

1710
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 1: I mean, when when he left the field, you were

1711
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: wondering what condition he would be in that he is

1712
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 1: his extremities, he's moving extremities, So that is your first

1713
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: sign that a positive note. That's why you pay t

1714
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:37,799
Speaker 1: J Way all that money. Three passes defense, three tackles

1715
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: for lost, two sacks the force Fumbo. I mean, like

1716
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,679
Speaker 1: three guys are blocking him on that play before Gino

1717
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: tried to step up. So we have next week for

1718
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, you have the Saints in prime time? Am

1719
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 1: I reading that right? Three straight prime time games for

1720
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: Gino against the two of the s past defenses in

1721
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 1: the league. That is what the social makers were aiming

1722
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:06,600
Speaker 1: my hopes who were low coming into this. And it

1723
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: was forteen nothing at halftime. And it's not like Geno

1724
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: played that poorly even in the first half, but it

1725
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: just it just felt like there's no way against this

1726
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 1: defense that they're going to do anything, and that I fear.

1727
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 1: I fear what I mean, what do you know? What

1728
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,679
Speaker 1: do you The ratings for the Geno pot are starting

1729
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: to go down, but what are you showing the next

1730
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: couple of teams you're playing on tape like you can't

1731
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 1: treat Gino Smith this way. You've got it, You've got

1732
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 1: like he made a couple of throws late and you

1733
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:33,599
Speaker 1: cannot go in with this game plan next time around,

1734
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 1: You're not gonna play Pittsburgh's defense. And I'll leave you

1735
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: with this, Mark Seessler. The Steeler's head into a bye week.

1736
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 1: They come out of the bye fully rested and go

1737
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: to Cleveland with revenge on the mind for a Halloween matchup.

1738
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:49,559
Speaker 1: I'm not even thinking about Cleveland right now. I mean

1739
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: they have they have pushed me into a dark place emotionally.

1740
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of work ahead, you know, to go wrong.

1741
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 1: Ye right, I like Mark, Mark said as as we

1742
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,719
Speaker 1: started to watch that that game, and you know, Seattle

1743
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 1: starts coming back and I'm like, oh you yeah, you're

1744
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: root in Seattle, right Mark, And You're like, I don't

1745
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: care about the emotionally to Cleveland's seems determined to lose

1746
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 1: to every playoff. You know, hopeful out there, so we

1747
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: should do all these you know games. Very tired and

1748
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 1: little Jet last. Yeah, I will say congratulation, congratulations to

1749
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: the Westling Brothers uh for once again locking locking it up.

1750
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: It was the Jaguars, and it's a little it's tough

1751
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: one to figure out because Larry attempted to punish his brothers, undermine,

1752
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: undermine the entire operation by locking up the worst team

1753
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,679
Speaker 1: in football, but they won. So I don't I don't

1754
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 1: know where Larry's headspace wise, And I think it's like,

1755
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, you're sort of you went in with the

1756
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 1: villain role, not that he's typically a villain, is a

1757
01:28:57,360 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: nice fellow in every way, but then he came in

1758
01:28:59,320 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 1: with a Matthew alien plan. That's why brothers called him precious,

1759
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, because you know she you know, Mama Wesley

1760
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 1: and wanted a girl, got Larry last one and well

1761
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: tonight he delivered another surprise. So absolutely, and I just

1762
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what's next with the Westling brother

1763
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 1: soap opera, Like, I don't know where you go from

1764
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 1: there when you're already by week six there's the undermining

1765
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: to the point where one of the brothers Brothers is

1766
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:25,880
Speaker 1: trying to ruin the season for the other Westling brothers,

1767
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 1: Like what what happens from here? It's gonna be exciting,

1768
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 1: great delivery was a high bar for it. Was he

1769
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: trying to ruin it or was he trying to say, like, hey,

1770
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:34,680
Speaker 1: let me make a pick. You guys didn't let me

1771
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 1: make the pick last week. Here I am getting this

1772
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 1: one right that no one saw. There's no doubt that

1773
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,920
Speaker 1: he probably felt left out. But I think he was

1774
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 1: trying to undermine the entire opera. I think he was

1775
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:48,720
Speaker 1: trying to undermine the operation and send a message that

1776
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,760
Speaker 1: I will not be overlooked in the future. It was

1777
01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: the best best week yet. So it's so I kind

1778
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:55,759
Speaker 1: of love it. Upset pick like I'm a huge Larry Westling,
