1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast. Prime be Absolutely you've seen

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: this guy with a shirt off. It's incredible. From the

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: Chris Westling podcast studio. It's around the NFL. I'm Dan Hansas,

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: got heroes here, Mr Prime Beef himself, Greg Rosenthal. I

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: think they were saying a d all of us. Yeah,

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot to focus and a nice little slab

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: of Tofu. Mark Sessler. That's I actually um. When I

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: was younger and had my first newspaper job, it was

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: a copy editing job, and I'd have to drive home

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: at two in the morning because you know it's you

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: do that late for newspaper, and would drive past on

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: my bike a Tofu factory and it's smelled like dead

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: animals had fallen from the sky. So I don't like

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: the references. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to well, because

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: usually thought that products comes up, you usually say something grotesque.

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: So I said, let me steer away from the meat,

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: and I thought of one of the silly things. And

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm essentially made of like that, Like I'm not made

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: of Tofusa. Just clear, how is everybody? Because it's week ten?

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: Where does it go? Greggy, where does it go? And

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: I know I've been saying that now every week, but

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: now we're in the double digits. That is pretty crazy.

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: This is kind of the dog days, I would say,

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: if there is such a thing, this is like that

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: middle period. We're not quite too Thanksgiving. Teams are grinding

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: and out we're grinding. I'm holding in my hand. You

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: can't see it on camera here, but the injury report

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: for the league, which is profoundly huge. It's it's really

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: extended and Russian. It's a Russian novelist. Mark who's wanted

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: to say, drop the type funt down a size to

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: fit on a page that you guys, you spell check

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: this time, I mean last time we took a look

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: at that. It's it's just me typing it up, doing

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: his best. Couldn't you just print out the injury report? Yeah,

35
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: but then it wouldn't be like organized by game. It

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: would just be like team by team and then would

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: be very organized by game. Hey, um later in the

38
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: day on NFL dot com or organized. But when we're

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: taping this show, I have to go find all this

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: information and type it up. That's all about Justin at

41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: this point. All right, Hey, I love you Justin. I

42
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: love football you're gonna get into it. We have a

43
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: full slate of action, not full slate. We got the Ravens, Pats,

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Bengals and Jets on by, but a lot to get to.

45
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: We have another overseas game. Um, so you know what,

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: why don't we start with that game? Please? Let's get

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: to it. Let's head to the Deutsch Lapp and Alian's Arena,

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: Alians Alliance. Let's roll with it all right, where the

49
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will square off. Kickoff here

50
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: Stateside is eastern in Munich, Mark that would be later

51
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: earlier for US. Correct. So here is a important game, um,

52
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: you know obviously for both teams, Seahawks looking to keep

53
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: this momentum rolling forward on a four game windstreak, and

54
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: Greg for the Bucks. They got a desperately needed comeback

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: win over the Rams, but with thereby right around the

56
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: corner here getting a win against Seattle that would really

57
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: to me put them on in pretty good ground at

58
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: five and five in that division. Can they do it? Yeah,

59
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: they can do it. I don't think there's any reason

60
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: to think that the Bucks are better than the Seahouse.

61
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: I always thought like the the Goody Song was I

62
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: just assumed that was the Germany national anthem and they

63
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: had adopted when East and West combined. I did two

64
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: and I never gave it even a second thought. I

65
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: thought it was either like Hasselhoff or this'm it's like

66
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: after nine pm, this is the national amph think I too,

67
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: I like, you know, Brady's out at the clubs just

68
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: like getting after it this week. Dance into this song. Um,

69
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: all right, let's get into it, Daby. He Uh played

70
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: better I think against the Rams for the most part

71
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: is receivers let him down. Brady hasn't really been the problem,

72
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: but the way they played at the end of that

73
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: game on hyper speed did make me think, like, can't

74
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: you do that more? I know that's the basic bro

75
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: Uh comment to whenever teams played hurry up and then

76
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: it works better, But I really do think it would

77
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: help their team. They have personnel that they can just

78
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: leave on the field with Lenny for Nette in the

79
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: two minute drill and veteran receivers and Tom Brady kind

80
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: of changed football in two thousand, two thousand and eleven.

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Playing at hyper speed. It takes advantage of all the

82
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: things he can do well, and you're going up against

83
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: a very young Seattle defense, just mix it in, playing

84
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 1: at a better, better temple, because when they take their time,

85
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: what happens is Tom Brady looks at the defense and

86
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: he makes what's the quote unquote right decision, And the

87
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: right decision is, let's run the ball on early downs

88
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: against these you know, soft boxes that the the other

89
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: teams are playing, and then they get one or two

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: yards and he's just like been programmed to make the

91
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: smart decision. But it's not smart. Don't stop running on

92
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: early downs if you're the Bucks. I don't like this

93
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: game for Tampa Bay at all, and I feel like

94
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: we're a one Tom Brady, you know, one and a

95
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: half minute trill away from a week of major questions

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: about a Bucks team that I find largely fraudulent at

97
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: this point, and a lot of it has for me

98
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: to do with their defense. I think Kenneth Walker their

99
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: four not since Kenneth Walker's come back, who looks like

100
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: a dominant Rookie of the Year candidate and has the

101
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: favorite right now. I mean, he has nine rushes of

102
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty or he has he has a multiple rushes of

103
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: twenty plus yards five and the Bucks have surrendered nine

104
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: of those third most in the NFL. You can run

105
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: on this Bucks team. It's it's a characteristic from years past.

106
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: I think Seattle with Kenneth Walker and with the Genal

107
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: Smith is playing. This is a great situation and the Bucks.

108
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: We're seeing clips of the of the Seahawks at practice

109
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: and they just seem to me under Pete Carroll that

110
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: he has reformed a team that is all about like playfulness, togetherness.

111
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: They're dancing together at practice, everyone but Bruce Irvant basically,

112
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: so they're like they had this thing they had it

113
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: in the past called Techno Thursday. And we unfortunately cannot

114
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: play the music for you, but you can. Sarah Wallsho

115
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: was out there and if you're watching on on on

116
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: the show, you can see right here the entire Seahawks

117
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: team is jumping up and down in early Pete Carroll glow.

118
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: And then there's just Bruce Irvant standing about twenty yards

119
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: away with his hands in his pocket, thinking like I'm

120
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: a little old for this. He's not. He's like eight

121
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: or something, but he's thirty five. He was suddenly to me,

122
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: his presence on this team is one of the most

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: amazing stories of the year. I mean, he he's uh

124
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: tied to all those great teams. He was out of

125
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: the league, wasn't he And now he's back and he's

126
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: actually making plays. That's crazy. Yeah the Seahawks. Yeah, Kenneth

127
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: Walker's rise the rise of the defense right around the

128
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: same time. So it went from being, oh, this is

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: kind of a interesting story. Gino is playing well and

130
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: they beat Russell Wilson and but it's still It had

131
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: the vibe of a team that would be up and down,

132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: but then the running game jumped up with Walker even

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: after Penny went out, and then the defense came up.

134
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: So I don't expect the Buccaneers, based on what we've

135
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: seen this season, to be the team that then brings

136
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: their defense down to earth. I think this sets up well.

137
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I agree for Seattle unless I think that's that residual

138
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: where the Bucks were Brady Juice. But I I I

139
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,679
Speaker 1: just think Seattle has been the better team now. Speaking

140
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: in Gino um I one thing I had to say

141
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: about Gino, I like that he has this platform now

142
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: because he's always been kind of an interesting guy. He's

143
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: always been like a little different and he uh you know,

144
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: he'll say things like his now iconic um I didn't

145
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: pick up line. What was it? Right back? I ain't

146
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: right back line? Um, they wrote me off. I ain't

147
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: right back. That's nice both, Well you got it. Well

148
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: I turned to you first you just looked at me.

149
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: He's like dead, dead eyed. And then Justin although Justin

150
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: does he think he doesn't need to do the yeah,

151
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: if he's gonna come fourth time on the show, I

152
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to say that. I wouldn't want to cut

153
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: him off. I thought you were going to just get anyway.

154
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: Geno to me is entertaining. I know people don't believe it.

155
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't have an issue with Geno and the Rise

156
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: of Gino. It's it's a good NFL story and where

157
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: the story a season with a lot of bad quarterback play.

158
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what you believe or don't believe. I enjoyed

159
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: Geno Smith, and I enjoyed this quote from him when

160
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: a reporter try to lead him into some Russell Wilson slander. Man,

161
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: I feel like you're trying to do something there. Yeah, no,

162
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, we were just you know, resting and um,

163
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: taking our time and you know, just getting ourselves prepared

164
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: for for you know, landing here and you know, it

165
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: was good to come out here and do some kneehaws

166
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: on the field and you know, just get ready for

167
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: you know, practice tomorrow. We Russ. Not to get to

168
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: Russ because he's not on this team anymore, but if

169
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: he's starting to take some mental notes like I'm just

170
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: gonna like talk a little less, well, there is there

171
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: is a Russ thread this week because Pete Carroll, who

172
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: I can you can just tell he loves Geno Smith

173
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: and he loves what's happening. He praised Geno Smith for

174
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: the willingness to wear the quarterback wristband he plays on.

175
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: Its sane you know, uh with the last guy, that

176
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: wasn't an option that was swatted down and I kind

177
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: of wish we had done that. Then Russell Wilson said,

178
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: I think we won a ton of games without the wristband.

179
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: But there is a little just like this, that little

180
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: thread does not go. Everything seems like a subtweet Shane Waldron.

181
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: They just keep talking about the fact that Gino doesn't

182
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: question what Shane Waldron wants to do. And now they've

183
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: made Sean Jane Waldron Uh look great. I don't feel

184
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: comfortable about this though, Uh for the Seahawks. To me,

185
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: it seems very even. I think Bowls probably gets to

186
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield back this week. I think Vance Joseph did

187
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: a good job making Gino hold the ball a little longer.

188
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: If he's got any weakness here, it's that he's like

189
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: Brady and then I think he's mostly winning before the

190
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: snap and just seeing what the defense is doing, and

191
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: he has a good idea even when they change their

192
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: coverage post snap. His numbers are awesome, but I think

193
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls can mix it up, and now that he

194
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: has all those defensive backs, you can make Gino Smith

195
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: hold onto the ball a lot. It's still a tough challenge.

196
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: I think going up against this Bucks defense, they know

197
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: they've had some bad games, and you're right, maybe the

198
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: run defenses where the Seahawks win. But I don't just

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: assume the Seahawks are gonna roll over the But I

200
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: don't assume it, but I think their strengths. Peter Schrieger

201
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: is in Germany also, and he's He's tweeted out that

202
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: at night that the streets are absolutely flush and filled

203
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: with Seahawks fans. I think it's gonna be a massive

204
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: like Seattle home crowd, even though it's in theory a

205
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay home games, who is the most well off

206
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: fan base? I wonder financially Sarah Forbes article about that

207
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: because just you know, hopping on the plane to Germany

208
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of November feels again, I feel like

209
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: they're from Europe. I would I would suggest, um like

210
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: l A or no, you know what, Dallas. Have you

211
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: ever been a Dallas who just got in my hair?

212
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: And he's like, nine are silk on Valley, which makes

213
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: makes sense. What are those those? Alas? Feels like My

214
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: feeling is like these are European fans. That are They're

215
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: probably mostly German fans. There is a huge NFL contingent,

216
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: and I feel like NFL is Seattle contingent. Well, the

217
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: NFL has picked up a lot over the last decade

218
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: plus in part, you know, because of our the efforts

219
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: of our friend NFL UK Hank for growing the sport

220
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: and who's been good his name is Henry in the

221
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: last decade, the Seahawks. It's the same reason why Tom Brady,

222
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: I read, is the most popular jersey over there and

223
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: probably has a lot of big fans, mostly from US.

224
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean Seattle has been fine in the last decade.

225
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: But the Bucks won the Super Bowl two years ago,

226
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: and they have Tom Brady. I would think the streets

227
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: will be flooded with a Buck stands in Germany. But

228
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if if the if the Cults are

229
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: in the upper quartile of the upper quartel the last

230
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: twenty years, the Seahawks, I means top seven. I believe

231
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: that Man is in the upper quartile of the upper

232
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: quartile of the last decade. I think number two or three. Ultimately,

233
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: we don't know the answer to this. Was also going

234
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: to say we're all of this like this the supposed

235
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: flood of Seattle fans based on one Peter straight. By

236
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: the way, he also didn't suggest that there weren't other

237
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: people in the street. He just said that that was

238
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: partially the partially the group and said it it wasn't

239
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: you know what. We should move on. Okay, We're sorry

240
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: to everyone for enduring that conversation. We just had any

241
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: other thoughts on this game from you boys. It's a

242
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: good one. It's a good job. Germany is going to

243
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: enjoy it. No, it sounds like we're done, all right,

244
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Let's move to trying to help you help there. Well,

245
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, we're always five minutes, I said, is anybody else?

246
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: Only the first time that we didn't have something else

247
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: for you in the history of good Let's do it.

248
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: Let's move. But when there's I felt pregnant as that

249
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: it's too late and now we're back in the I

250
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: don't have any major things that That's all I wanted,

251
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: literally all I wanted. All right, let's move to Sunday

252
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: night football. Let's get to all the primetime games before

253
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: we hit the draft. This one will be up there

254
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley where the Los Angeles Chargers will meet

255
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners. All right, I like this one. Mark,

256
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: here we go. This is a game Niners coming off

257
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: there by, so they're in good position physically. You would

258
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: think the Chargers not so much as uh as justin

259
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: Herbert continues to work with an offense that has been

260
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: obviously marginalized by injuries. But what I liked about Herbert

261
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: last week was his ability to, you know, bring the

262
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: team up with him, even if you don't have your

263
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: big dogs in the outside. Yeah, he did, and that

264
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: was kind of a huge win for them to get

265
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: to five and three. Because they don't really vibe to

266
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: me as a five and three team based on a

267
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: number of factors. I mean they are. The whole idea

268
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: was Brandon Staley got his guys on defense and what

269
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: happened last year it was his first season as head coach.

270
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: Now he's got his scheme, he's got the right people

271
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: to plug in there. The thirtieth scoring defense in the

272
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: league there twenty nine against the rush Um they're a

273
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: sort of a mess. The other four and one since

274
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: October they don't have their people the plug in. They're

275
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: missing half of theirs. But in general and generally offen like,

276
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: the defense has not improved one iota. I mean everyone's

277
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: injured all across the league. To Dan's point, with that

278
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: shape not okay, Brandon Staley is made. Excuses are made

279
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: for Brandon stillly no matter what happens with the Chargers.

280
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: I get that. But he did at an interesting comment

281
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: because I think we've all suspected justin Herbert something's been off.

282
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: He said that now he finally is essentially healthy from

283
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: that injury, and that he they did have to him

284
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: in the game plan to some degree that now they

285
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: were going to throw down field more he's more mobile,

286
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: and I just thought we saw Justin Herbert in the

287
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: past month who was a little tentative, a little less

288
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: risk taking, and if you get a only healthy version

289
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: when he's doing that, he's fearless, he's full of daring

290
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: do and he's willing to throw the ball anywhere to

291
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: get it done. And they need that because because without

292
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: a full Justin Herbert, the Charges have been boring to watch,

293
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: and you have to overcome the fact that Keenan Allen

294
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: is still in the Abyss, Mike Williams gone, and they're

295
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: down their guys. Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter both made plays,

296
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: uh and that win over the Falcons, and I love

297
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: one of my favorite absurd fun facts of the season.

298
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler scoreless in the first three games of the year,

299
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns in five weeks, so they're leaning a lot

300
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: on him obviously, both in the passing and the running game.

301
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: The thing about Herbert last week that I took away

302
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: was just that he played the Falcons and he had

303
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: to play exceptional to end up with two hundred and

304
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: forty five yards on forty three attempts and scored twenty points.

305
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: It's not against the Falcons with no pass rush coming

306
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: at him. If I could lock this game up, I

307
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: would in a heartbeat. I think this will be one

308
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: way traffic. It's not even allowed. It's out of the

309
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: locks on that. That's how little respect uh Vegas has

310
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: for this team. I'm with you that Staley's defense is

311
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: disappointing because you know, Mark when when they had their players,

312
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: It's not like it looked much better. But it has

313
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: to be recognized Joey Bosa is the most important player

314
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: on that defense. I know Derwin James is great, but

315
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: there's such a drop off between Joey Bosa and the

316
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: rushers that they're sending out there opposite Khalil Mack, who's

317
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: now a little banged up. They lost Austin Johnson, who

318
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: was signed to be their run stopper for the season

319
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: last week. We know j C. Jackson's not coming back

320
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: and wasn't playing well anyways. They're a team that can

321
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: be pushed around on the ground, and now you've got

322
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: to play the forty Niners, who haven't run the ball

323
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: well this year. That's why they made that trade for

324
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. It's the worst running game Kyle Shanion's ever

325
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: had yet. I after seeing McCaffrey for a couple of weeks,

326
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: I feel like that's about to end and they're just

327
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: gonna steam roam. It's it feels like a mismatch on

328
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. I hope I'm right wrong,

329
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: and I hope that Herbert kind of does what you say,

330
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Mark and just lifts his team up and has like

331
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: an old school justin Herbert's two things. I didn't see

332
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: it last week, even though that's what I mean, that

333
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: he had to play so well just for them to

334
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: barely be I mean, but if you want to he

335
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: he was missing his wide receivers, which we talked about.

336
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: But now you if you're the Niners, you get Deepo

337
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Samuel back. You know, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, who, obviously

338
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: Kyl Shannian is known for his like cercal McCaffrey's entire

339
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: life almost trust him to do everything. Last week, Kyle

340
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: use check like, well, you're bringing a big one to

341
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell. I believe is coming back this week. And

342
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: remember time he was the starting running back of the

343
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: Niners and then he goes down with an injury in

344
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: Week one. So now I think with McCaffrey, and you

345
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: always had the factor in with McCaffrey, like as great

346
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: as he is, he is injury prone. Now you have

347
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: a two pronged attack. It's gonna be McCaffrey's backfield no

348
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: matter what. But that makes them even better. I'm with you, Greg,

349
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: I think this is probably a one sided game. And

350
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: I do believe unless Herbert has something really special up

351
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: his sleeve, which you know that'd be nice to see,

352
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: like one of those which he has before, had that

353
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: up a sleep if if you if things like storylines

354
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: like Herbert Verse two uh um annoy you or you're

355
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: interested in them, this would be a great spot for

356
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: Herbert to throw for four hundred yards, you know on

357
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Sunday night. They haven't gotten asking a lot. He could

358
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: be the Michael Jordan's football, even though the sports are different.

359
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: Like he then his then his rib was destroyed. It

360
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: was completely different. That's why I point brought up the

361
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: point that they now he to Staley, who was kind

362
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: of hiding away the injury to some degree, you weren't

363
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: talking about it acknowledged he's not been healthy this past

364
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: month and so that leads me to look at the

365
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: tape up and be like, that's what he was. You know,

366
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: he could be the Michael Jordan's but the guy who

367
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: is the Michael Jordan to me, and we used to

368
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: debate about this and West, you know, really bristled at

369
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: it early in Mahomes career just put up six touchdowns

370
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: on seven possessions against this forty n team. So as

371
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: as great as this defense is, if you're a great offense,

372
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: you can still score on them, because great offenses do that.

373
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: But the Chargers aren't a great offense. They're they're run

374
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: by Joe Lombardi, who's coaching up Herbert to be like

375
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: late career Drew Brees. He he has no big plays,

376
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: he has no turnover where he plays. He's just very

377
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: safe thinking and dugging down the That Niners defense also

378
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: had injuries too, if we're gonna talk about it's like

379
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: they were banged up. Yeah, So Jordan's at the garden

380
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: and nine March put up double nickels. That's Herbert needs

381
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: to do. What's the equivalent of double nickels seven yards

382
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: and four total touchdown. He's not being Michael Jordan this

383
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: season obviously, just saying that's double knickles. We need double

384
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: nickels alright, Monday Night football. Oh yeah, they got flexed too,

385
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: by the way Chargers, So we're getting back to back

386
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night games. Seems it seems a little overdue excessive um,

387
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: unless he goes double nickels. The other option was watching

388
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers in prime time. So all right, well, what

389
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: about the Jets and Pats, Right, that's the crime. Well

390
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: the Jets and Pats. The Pats are playing on Thanksgiving

391
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: and they don't like to flex. They day NBC, the NFL,

392
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: they don't feels overly efficient. Just give us the game

393
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: we want exactly, Monday Night Football. The Commandos at four

394
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: and five just had their winning streak snapped. Head to Philadelphia. UM,

395
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: perhaps a lamp to slaughter against the Eagles. The Eagles

396
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: are now the number one team in the Power rankings.

397
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: The Eagles for about a month now have been the

398
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: only undefeated team in the league, and I'm sick of

399
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: talking about that. The Eagles never seemed to have a

400
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: tough game on their schedule because it is what it is.

401
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: But Mark, this doesn't feel like it's going to be

402
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: a challenge for Philly. Um, what are your thoughts in

403
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: this game? I'm with you. I mean they on offense,

404
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: and I think we saw this last Thursday night against Houston.

405
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: That was not their best game, but they found different

406
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: ways to move the ball, and every week they do.

407
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: It was still so easy. Even with that it was

408
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: their C game, but because they were playing a F opponent,

409
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: let's give them the gentleman's F a D minus opponent,

410
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: it was still like more than enough. I might even

411
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: point to their second trive after they had that eight

412
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: team play touchdown drive to start the game, was that

413
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: that was a there was a Jalen Hurts strip sack

414
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: on that on that drive which ended it. That's fine,

415
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: but there were two explosive plays to a J. Brown

416
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith before That's like they're just they're impossible to defend.

417
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: I know Washington's defense has been a little bit better,

418
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: but I would point more to the Eagles defense because

419
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman, remember when do Doug Peterson left Philly, was like, Howie,

420
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 1: if Howie in this coaching staff, or if if if

421
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: Doug in this coaching staff want to go through a rebuild,

422
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: oh well maybe you would have wanted stuff to ru

423
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: build rebuild, rebuilding the Eagles. It happened like a year

424
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: and now it's like Howie Roseman is getting C. J.

425
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson, Robert Quinn Gardner Johnson has five picks this

426
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: year ad five in his entire career. He's got finding

427
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: guys that work in this defense, and they were creating

428
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: absolute havoc like Javon Hargrave last week three sacks. It's like,

429
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: it's just different guys stepping up and find that I

430
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: don't care what they're playing, where's the weakness on this team?

431
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: So if if you're playing basketball and you uh and

432
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: the other in your teammate misses the shot, but you

433
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: go up for it, what is that called a rebound rebound?

434
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: Is it a Connecticut rebound bound? Did I say bound?

435
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I've said it before. Probably, I don't know.

436
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where my lexicon came from. I don't

437
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know the roots. The Eagles are weirdly reliant,

438
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: not reliant, but on top of being so good on

439
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, they are first in the

440
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: league and fewest turnovers and their first in the league

441
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: enforcing turnovers. So there that would actually indicate a team

442
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: that's maybe been a little fortunate, although it can it

443
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: can hang over the course of the season. But their

444
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: plus fifteen in the turnover margins, so they're getting three,

445
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, a couple extra possessions every game, and now

446
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: they get to play a Washington team which doesn't make

447
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: any plays on defense is almost last enforcing turnovers. Although

448
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: they've been better over the last month. The Commander's defense

449
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: has improved quite a bit, which Ron Rivera's teams in

450
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: Washington have tended to do as the season goes along.

451
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: Defensively and on offense, you're going up against Taylor Nicky,

452
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: who's a mess. Who if if Zach Wilson is playing

453
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: better now than Heiniki would be my pick as the

454
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: worst starter in the league. He leads the NFL and

455
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: turnover word of the plays uh in terms of the

456
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: percentage of how many dropbecks he said by far. So

457
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: he's always gonna give you a chance, and I'm with you.

458
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel like that the the they can

459
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: hang if it's they're getting extra possesis. Do you what

460
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: are your demanding? Dan? Breaking news this from the Associated Press,

461
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: the Attorney General for the District of Columbia says his

462
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: office is filing a civil consumer protection lawsuit against the

463
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder, the NFL, and commissioner Roger Goodell.

464
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: Attorney General Carl Racine announced the civil complaint for colluding

465
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: to deceive district residents at a news conference Thursday. We're

466
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: seeing said the team and league violated DC consumers rights

467
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: based on what they knew about the organization's workplace misconduct,

468
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: alleging Snyder lied about his knowledge of the situation. So

469
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: there was a shoe, there was a there was an

470
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: announcement that an announcement was coming, which led to the

471
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: Commanders preemptively firing off a statement that included um, a

472
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: reference to Brian Robinson shooting and h Robinson's representatives like,

473
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: why are you bringing our name into any of this,

474
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: which is a fair uh comment. And now this news

475
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: so again, just this shroud, this cloud sitting over this organization.

476
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: At the time when it seems like Daniel Snyder is

477
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: being pushed out of the league, he has an attempt

478
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: as being well, it's made it more clear since we've

479
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: last talked about it, that he is planning to sell

480
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: the team. We've reported on on that on NFL Network

481
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: that it's not just him looking for minority owners. Our

482
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: guy Ian rapport indicated it could be as early as

483
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: March that the team has gone and it can't come

484
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: here soon enough. The fact that this game is in

485
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: Monday night, on Monday Night, I'm sure this week is

486
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: an incredible embarrass to the league. But then I was thinking, well,

487
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: what other week this season with the Commanders wouldn't be

488
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: an incredible embarrassment. The more weeks than not have been.

489
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, the fact that they brought up Brian Robinson,

490
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: we should explain if you hadn't seen. It was just

491
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: that they pointed out he was shot in broad daylight

492
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: and instead of uh, the Washington the d C Attorney

493
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: General uh doing a better job controlling crime, which is,

494
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: by the way, people have pointed out, not really what

495
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: the DC Attorney General is doing, especially for juveniles who

496
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: they found in this case. So none of it made sense.

497
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: They're holding press conferences, so they just sort of uh

498
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: through their entire cities police force under the bus while

499
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: doing this too. Where in there and the fan in

500
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: the city that these fans live in, and they quickly apologize,

501
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: like the president of the team apologized essentially a couple

502
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: of hours later. But it's feels like it wasn't vetted

503
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: by all layers of the organization. It came from probably

504
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: a hot spot, a hot corner, and it could. I

505
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: don't think of a statement from a team that has

506
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: been messier than that during this run of this show

507
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: or the run of my life. They haven't scored seventeen points,

508
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: by the way, since week two. There's one more thing

509
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: the run of my Well, I'm saying it goes that

510
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: it's just enjoying your different turns of phrases and pronunciations.

511
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: Well you had they were good at you know, you

512
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,479
Speaker 1: were what in your twenties back when they last won

513
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, Right, But I would say they weren't

514
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: issuing horrible statements back then. I'm saying that from the

515
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: toxic nature of the statement. Just back to football for

516
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: one minute before we take a break. Um, there's a

517
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: bit of an odd thing going on to in Washington

518
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: and Taylor Heineke, because he's not, you know, as Greg

519
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: just alluded to, not very good. He struggles. His interception

520
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: cost him the game last week, the Harrison Smith interception.

521
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: And yet that crowd, the crowd is Channing Heineke throughout

522
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: that game. It's just like they love him um and

523
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: I think it might be just one of those things.

524
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Stockholm syndrome or what, but

525
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: it's just like not a lot root for it from

526
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: incredibly unlikely spots week after week with him. And it

527
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: looked like they were about to beat the six and

528
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: one Vikings during that game. And I get that there

529
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: is a bit of magic that he has brought to

530
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: like winning these crazy games, but it just doesn't feel

531
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: like there's something likable about him. I don't. I don't

532
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: like beyond just the play. There's an energy too wins.

533
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: If you are a fan of like a downtrodden team

534
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: that goes through a long period of dysfunction failure, you'll

535
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: you'll grab onto anything. I've been there, and that's where

536
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: Commanders fans are. I hope that an organizations gets gets

537
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: back on its feed because this has been quite a

538
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: sad grind of late. All right, let's take a break

539
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: and we'll get to the draft. All right, welcome back.

540
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: It's time now for the draft. Tugboat will take you

541
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: into port with the first overall pick, and it's an

542
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: easy one, And I don't care whose cornerbacking for the

543
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: home team, because it's still compelling game. Vikings at Bills

544
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: um major major intra conference battle here between a Vikings

545
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: team that's seven and one, but there's still jabronies out

546
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: there like me who are asking questions whether we should

547
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: take them seriously. And then there's the Bills, who obviously

548
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: maybe humbled a little bit by the Jets last week

549
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: at the Metal Lands. But even more distressingly more distressing

550
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: on the loss was the injury suffered by Josh Allen,

551
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: who is uh not practicing on Thursday with the elbow

552
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: issue sustained on one of the last snaps of the

553
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: game against the Jets, and so his as we tape this,

554
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: his availability is in question case. Keendom's the backup mark Um,

555
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: which is a good backup, but it's not Josh Allen,

556
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: and that would be a major problem with a good

557
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota team coming to town. Well, it certainly leveled a

558
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: playing field. I mean, Josh Allen has accounted for twenty

559
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: three of Buffalo's twenty five touchdowns this year, and you

560
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of quarterbacks They're going to take the

561
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: majority of the cake there, but he's different. He's special

562
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: and like I would ask, with the elbow injury, it's

563
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: the ability to throw. But also Josh Allen the runner

564
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: like and you have a hurt elbow and you're slamming

565
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: into the ground on a hurt elbow like probably just lowers,

566
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: Like we just talked about Justin Herbert, your body is

567
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: not functioning, can you do the same things. I mean,

568
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: even if he's in there, he's going to be playing

569
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: at not And I think it opens the door for

570
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: a Vikings team that I get it. They want to

571
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: score on the first drive, in the last drive every

572
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: game and somehow win. But I do think Kirk right there,

573
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: we just need ten more. Yeah, Vikings fans hate that

574
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: we say that, um, but but they do. I can't

575
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: think of another team that is a very quality team.

576
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: And when their offense is firing and when Cousins is

577
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: playing the way ken and Justin Jefferson is doing what

578
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: he's doing like, they are explosive and they can do

579
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,719
Speaker 1: a lot like on offense, and they're pretty balanced. It's

580
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: just that they do tend to take naps. The Greg

581
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: you talked about it on Sunday that the final throw

582
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: from Alan after the elbow injury. It was actually he

583
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: made two more throws I believe after the elbow injury.

584
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: The last one was seventy yards through the air tech

585
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: mobile style. It was the longest air throw of the

586
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: season by any quarterback that came immediately after the injury.

587
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: And maybe you know, obviously there's adrenaline factoring in. So

588
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to make of

589
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: that other than he threw it further than anyone after

590
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: he hurt the elbow? Is that good? Didn't we see

591
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert have an incredible throw in with adrenaline flowing through.

592
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: He also had a really bad throw right before that.

593
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: He dirted the ball as well. So all I'm saying

594
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: is that was kind of interesting that he made a

595
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: throw like that. He's a special guy. Um. Here's the

596
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: other thing, Greg, The af C East is saucy right now,

597
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: so you could say maybe the Bills will play this smart. Um.

598
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: It's not a division game. It's a chance to give

599
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: your guy a break with Cleveland up the next week.

600
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: But I don't know. With the with the Jets on

601
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: a buy at six and three and the Dolphins also

602
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: six and three in charging where the Bills feel like

603
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: they could rest their quarterback if he's less I don't.

604
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that would be a factor for them.

605
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: I think they're just thinking about winning the Super Bowl,

606
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: and I think they're not gonna be worried about losing

607
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: a nonconference game in the middle of November. They have,

608
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, bigger things in mind. They've swooned in November

609
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: under Sean McDermott quite a bit, including a year ago

610
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen was not playing that well, and I

611
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: think they will believe that they can win this game

612
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: with case Keenum. I expect Case Keenum to start. I

613
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: don't think there's any reason not to, just because of

614
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: the medical reporting around it. But who knows, maybe maybe

615
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: they are just trying to arrest him. They have major concerns,

616
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: uh in terms of their injury situation outside of Josh Allen.

617
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: Tremade Edmonds, who played great last week, has not been practicing.

618
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau, who has been that strong number two pass

619
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: rusher next to Von Miller, will not be playing in

620
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: this game. He is week to week. I know they

621
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: have pretty good depth there, but that's what made their

622
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: defense really exciting. Matt Milana Limited has returned to practice,

623
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: so that that's a good sign. Mr Limited. Remember remember

624
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: people thought he was going to be playing in week one. Uh,

625
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem any closer to playing either. He's been activated, right,

626
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: but he's just not playing. Ye have to activate him

627
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: at this point because of how late it is in

628
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: the season. Kyer Elamite, I don't think practiced on Thursday

629
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: after practicing Wednesday, so it's a lot of stuff. And uh,

630
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: I think they're going up against uh Vikings offense, which

631
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: is more complete now since they traded for t J. Hockenson.

632
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: I just think that was a really good trade. You

633
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: could see it immediately paying dividends. I think Kirk Cousins

634
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: has played a little better the last two weeks than

635
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: he did the first part of the season. He's given

636
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: Stefan Digs a chance to make play. Sometimes that'll work,

637
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: sometimes it won't, but mostly it'll work. The Hockinson arrival

638
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: was interesting to watch. He was targeted nine times. He

639
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: had nine catches for seventy yards, so it wasn't some

640
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: monster day. But if you could add another guy that

641
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: can make a play on that team and also act

642
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: as a safety valve of sorts, Uh. For Kirk, that's

643
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: only going to help matters. So yes, I agree with

644
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: you on that. By the way, this is a game

645
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: that I feel is putting pretty close to a toss

646
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: up based on what we know right now. But there

647
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: is over at the zoo uh a definite thought pigs. Hello, gentlemen,

648
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: It's a seventy degree day in Cincinnati in mid November.

649
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: Guess what that means. I'm hanging out at Uncle Rick's

650
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: house channeling my brother's spirit right now. And my brother says,

651
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: don't let Greg Rosenthal talk trash about the Westling brothers.

652
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: To you, you're better analysis than him. You have a

653
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: better nickname than him. What's the nickname? More like wrong?

654
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: Sixty of the time. Can you even be considered an expert? Dude?

655
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: You can't get anything right. Jameis Winston is going to

656
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: be the greatest quarterback of all time and said that,

657
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: Now onto the Bills and Vikings. There's no way the

658
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: Vikings go into Buffalo and take care of business in November.

659
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be coold, it's gonna be rainy, and the

660
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: Bills take care of business. Lock it up. It's funny.

661
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's certain he is aware, and you're

662
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: talking about great analysis, not aware that one of the

663
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: most valuable players in the league. Probably not. We don't

664
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: know whether he's aware enough, but it was such a

665
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: secondary issue to him. More the hit piece on Rosenthal,

666
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: which was delicious. That was that. That was the main

667
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: point of the video this week. Good job Nick, you

668
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: had that winded on for three plus minutes like the one.

669
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: I would just sat down beer and just enjoyed it all. Greg,

670
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: do you have a you have any like takedown of

671
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: Nick or Well? I've never said Jamis was the greatest

672
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: player ever. It was a debate between him and Mariota.

673
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: And I'm still taking Jamis on that still taking him.

674
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: And that is the farm where West's remains are or

675
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: some of his remains with his father. His ashes are

676
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: there and not a farm. Just a nice uh, a

677
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: nice set up there where where they expanse just beautiful.

678
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: Got a little a little bill, a little pond. I

679
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: am curious. I am curious for the vikings. One last

680
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: thing on this one was just Zadarius Smith. That's been great.

681
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: I feel like the offense is better. Everyone complaining about

682
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: the vikings. No one takes us seriously Okay, even if

683
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: case Keenum is playing this game, beat the Bills. Here's

684
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: what we don't want to see losing to the Bills

685
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: with Case Keenum. Uh, the Bills are going your former quarterback.

686
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: The Bills are gonna have to show some things that

687
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: they can run the ball, that they can protect Case Keenum.

688
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: I think the Jets exposed a couple of things. They

689
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: really made Josh Allen run to try to gain yardage.

690
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: It was it was an interest in that game by

691
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: the Jet. The Jets were able to get home without

692
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: blitzing at all. Do the Vikings have the type of

693
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: pass rush? Do they have the front maybe not of

694
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: the Jets equal, but can put heat Smith? He has

695
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: been and he's been he's been getting his pressure from

696
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: the interior. You think of him as an edge player,

697
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: but he's so big and he's been maybe the best

698
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: pass rusher in the league outside of Michael Parsons. He's

699
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: certainly in that mix this year, which is wild. He

700
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: does leave the league in total pressures. Danielle Hunter has

701
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: been solid. I think he is getting going, so maybe

702
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: they do have that pass guys gotta all right. I've

703
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: talked to myself back into Josh Allen play this game.

704
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: I've just been assuming he's not well. I'm sure I

705
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: don't know why. I don't think anyone knows, but he

706
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: hasn't been practicing, so I just feel like this doesn't

707
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: This doesn't tell you whether he's playing or not. But

708
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: he had a UCL injury a few years back and

709
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: missed four weeks, so we don't know that. In addition

710
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: to the Jets um with the not blitzing a lot,

711
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: they were able to use a lot of soft zones

712
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 1: and mix things up and essentially put Alan in a blender. Mentally,

713
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: if the if the Vikings can do that, they'll probably win.

714
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: But the Vikings aren't the Jets. There's only one Jets.

715
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: They're also not a great defense. The Vikings point about

716
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: a Minnesota team going on the road in November in

717
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: a big spot your Vikings fan for For for instance,

718
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: marquer Eric says he knows that this is a classic

719
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: letdown scenario. For let's say case Keenum plays against his

720
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: old team, classic Vikings letdown scenario here to get beat

721
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: by like one counterpoint, like people in Minnesota probably not

722
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: like scraping ice off their cars. They're also used to

723
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: cold well they're not. They're not. The football team plays inside,

724
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: they're playing a dome. But like they also live in Minnesota.

725
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: They live in Minneapolis and around the entire winter. I know,

726
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: I've spoken to people on it. They don't even know

727
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: what the outside air. It's a tremendous breaking news scenario

728
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: for you. Signed, by the way, was I think ten

729
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: to start, and now it's at three and a half.

730
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: Probably that trend downward. And sometimes I think the Bills

731
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: will be favored even without Josh Allen. He thinks how

732
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: much they like that. I don't traffic in this area.

733
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: Greg isn't allowed to. He would love to, he can't.

734
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: The people in the desert sometimes know things that the

735
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: rest of us don't know. They know about Josh Allen

736
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: more than we know Crumbling. They have their sparrows out

737
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: there all right. Up next in the draft is none

738
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 1: other than Greggy assassinated by Nick Westling just minutes ago.

739
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: What is Nick? No one even knows your nickname? Is

740
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: he talking about the Cincinnati Zoo as a collective? Or

741
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: is it all right? But I mean, which is a

742
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: great nickname? From you on? If you want to craft

743
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: and brand a nickname, you've got to do a little

744
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: more work. By the way, speaking of doing a little

745
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: more work, you don't need to do more work. You're awesome.

746
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: Um justin graver. But are those hogs, because that's more

747
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: like the Cincinnati farm. The elephants are great, that's great.

748
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: But maybe you know there's monkey. There's a I do

749
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: have a gorilla in there. Comes again. I usually don't

750
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: play the drop long enough for you to hear. You're

751
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: gonna hear the whole thing just for fun. I do

752
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: like animals. Okay, there's the chips. But yeah, all right

753
00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: there see that it's a farm zoos. It just seems

754
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: they're like all all hell is broken. Birds in there

755
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: as well. Okays have taken the birds being kept in

756
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: that plate that they'd be flying. We made more like

757
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: a metro zook for sure, mid century twenty century where

758
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: they're all behind bars. It's just like a horrible place

759
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: for living things. Yeah, that was like an American safari

760
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: right there. It's gonna rye. We need something more working class,

761
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: like a working class Cincinnati zoo. Okay, but keep the elephant.

762
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean the Cincinnati Zoo is a world renowned institution.

763
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: It has a has a lot of pop the Cincinnati Zoo.

764
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: People go alright, pe Harambe, great call, that's a GC.

765
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: Harambe was from the Cincinnati Zoo. You get that? Remember

766
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: that pop culture? Was that an animal that passed away?

767
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: I believe he didn't make it. Okay, don't quiz me further. Alright, Greg,

768
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: did Harambe know that Josh Allen's not playing this week?

769
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: Somebody knows? I know that the Packers and the Cowboys

770
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: are playing, and I'm taking it as my number two

771
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: over all? Is it because the rivalry is renewed? It's because, uh,

772
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: it's a big game, I guess. I'm I'm interested to

773
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,959
Speaker 1: watch this Cowboys team in general. They showed so much

774
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 1: on the way to their by a couple of weeks

775
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: ago offensively that I want to see if that continues.

776
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: And no matter what happens, to me, this game is compelling.

777
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: If the Cowboys drill the Packers in Lambeau to put

778
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: them to three and seven with Mike McCarthy and oh,

779
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: that is delicious TV. And this could be like a

780
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: home field advantage. That's not an advantage because those Packers

781
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: fans are tight and they're not going to be happy

782
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: if they fall behind. And there's a reason to believe

783
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: they will find fall behind because this Cowboys run game

784
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: is really impressive. Their offensive line has really improved throughout

785
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: the course of the season. Their young rookie tight ends

786
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: kind of added an element of unpredictability, and they've been

787
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: very creative with what they can do on the ground.

788
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: And there's a moment in every Packers game where the

789
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: Packers defense needs to stop and then that's the moment

790
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: where the other team goes on an eight minute drive

791
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: and the like takes the life out of all the

792
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: Packers fans, and I think the Cowboys are well suited

793
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: to be the team that delivers that drive, especially when

794
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: they're calling design runs in the red zone for Dak Prescott. Again, Wow,

795
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: that was a great a couple of weeks ago, and

796
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: that's some of the many reasons why I'm locking this game.

797
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 1: You've done it, Greg, I think you've done a great job.

798
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: The Packers have seventeen players on the Packers. That's how

799
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: I needed to get Mark. You guys are together on

800
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: Thursday night, but you want to move over. It sounds

801
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: like you felt this is your chance to bury the

802
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: Packers for he's trying to move you off of this

803
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: Thursday Night games already happy into a lot of the

804
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: listeners to share Greg's like intense confidence that this is

805
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: going to be a word that Greg used a week ago,

806
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: because this is a true to me revenge game for

807
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: Zaddy Mike McCarthy right, it really is, because it was

808
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: it was like he got shoveled out of Green Bay.

809
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't know how to call plays. He's archaic. Even

810
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: worse than that. Oh, he's getting a massage in his

811
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: office while they're running team meetings. They they smeared him

812
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: out the door. He needs to take a year of

813
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: like deep thought to take a deeper look at the lead.

814
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: He shouldn't get messages team meetings. He denied it. He

815
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: denied it. This is blood in the water, a street

816
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: named after him outside that building. It's too particular to

817
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: be untrue. I totally believe it. There's nothing to like

818
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: about green Bay right now, and I love this for Dallas,

819
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: I love it. I think I'm gonna join Greg. He's

820
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: maybe just because Greg cannot stand like Greg Spence of

821
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: every show telling us who he would have locked if

822
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: someone didn't lock what he locks, or if he wished

823
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: he picked this team over that in control, that that

824
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: Dan has know this. There are there is, we are

825
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: we are. It is Thursday right now. Yes, there is

826
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 1: inclement weather heading towards Carolina. I don't like what's happening

827
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: with that Thursday night game. I think weird things could happen.

828
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm moving off it, so does my weekend solo lock. Now. UM,

829
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 1: here's why I also am happy about this. Um. First

830
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: of all, let's talk Zaddy by the way. UM, I

831
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: want to see that this is this is pure Zaddi

832
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: energy to me. Since we're talking Mike McCarthy, what about

833
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: the area? Do you do you guys trying to make

834
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: me cry? A question about twelve personel or something? Because

835
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was on Pat McAfee and um, he said

836
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: one of the reasons he loves Mike McCarthy so much,

837
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: he's got that he's got this tough exterior. It's Pittsburgh

838
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: grit McCarthy, but he's a big teddy bear on the

839
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: end side. That's that big Zaddy energy for me. I

840
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: like that. I once asked Mike McCarthy extra anytime friends

841
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: on the show, I'm cool with it. I asked him

842
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: what he would be if he wasn't a football coach.

843
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: I want to check a guess what what career path

844
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: he would take? A guess shop teacher, policeman, construction worker,

845
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: just wants to building, wants to build things and work

846
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: with the earth and speaking um. And also the reason

847
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: why I'm cool with you guys locking up UM. I'm

848
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 1: having some serious second thoughts about our decision to fork

849
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: the Packers, and that came in part because of this

850
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: quote that I heard from Rogers on McAfee this week.

851
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: I always believe in myself first, and I bet on

852
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: myself first to go out there and to and to

853
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: the impact the game and to be great. And I

854
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 1: still know I have that within me. Still the reigning

855
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: defending two times m v and now you may write

856
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: that off is just nonsense, but I do think this

857
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: is a game that is obviously a huge importance to

858
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Their backs are against the wall, and Aaron Rodgers,

859
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: as bad as he's played UH this season at times,

860
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: especially our most recent game, he is still the defending

861
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: back to back m v P. And I would not

862
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: be surprised if you get a big game from Rogers

863
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 1: and potentially a run in the Packers UH. To come.

864
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I just got a bit

865
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: of a sessler about it. Okay, well, well that's that's

866
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: where I'm coming. My one thing, I don't think what's

867
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: happening with their offense is going away or is suddenly

868
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: solvable because of his speech on the podcast or the

869
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: show what I said, you lost Romeo Dollar or you know,

870
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: if I'm one of his teammates, I might be rolling

871
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: eyes at that. Well, right, because first of all, it's

872
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: like he I'm still me, I still know who I am.

873
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't lift up any teammates. You don't have Romeo

874
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: Dobbs on defense. You lost for Sean Gary. I said

875
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: it before. They're seventeen players on the injury report. Sammy

876
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: Watkins has banged up and has been a mess. It's

877
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: him and Allen was hard and you're running back certain

878
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: Jones isn't healthy. He's come up with kind of a

879
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: transparent motivational technique through the media every week, and he

880
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: keeps changing it like he's been the nice guy and

881
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: then the the mean guy, and none of it's working.

882
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 1: And I think his confidence is one of the reasons

883
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: why they're struggling. I don't think Aaron Rodgers is playing

884
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: that poorly. Last week he did, but overall, I don't

885
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: think he's playing that poorly. But I think that he's

886
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: going outside the system like he was in the first

887
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: year of the Matt Lafleur offense, because things aren't working well.

888
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: And he's back to the reason why Mike McCarthy got

889
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: fired from Green Bay in the first place, because there

890
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: was a couple of years there in the middle of

891
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers prime where he just held onto the ball forever,

892
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: kind of didn't really listen to coaching, much like they're

893
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: talking about Russell Wilson's not really following the game plan

894
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: in Seattle, kind of like they talked about Dak Prescott

895
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 1: frankly a year ago when he was struggling in Dallas.

896
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: And he's just back there trying to make a play

897
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: and thinking he's going to solve it all. And I

898
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: look at the teammates around him and including the defense

899
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: that's a huge part in the offensive, and I just

900
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't see it. How about this.

901
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: That's all fair one side of this, uh, And we'll

902
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: bring this up on Sunday Show, Okay, alright, Not that

903
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm hugely confident of the Packers because whoever will be

904
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: accountable for being wrong correct? Well? They okay, okay. Eric

905
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: Stokes also expected to miss this game. Sammy Watkins might

906
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: miss this game. You mentioned Dobbs, Elton Jenkins. Their offensive

907
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: linemen also, Sammy Watkins and Romeo Dobbs aren't playing offense.

908
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: Might have been their best wide receiver, but they all stink.

909
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 1: That's the problem. We can we can't say. We can't

910
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: say they agree with they're that they're dead because those

911
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: guys aren't playing. I agree with you, Tammy Watkins hasn't

912
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: made a place in Super Bowl fifty five. Well, who

913
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 1: are you pointing at? Then? Who's gonna Sunday? Absolutely twelve

914
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: throwing to twelve? Twelve is gonna They're leading receivers. Robert

915
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: Tonyan we buried, We buried the Packers literally on the show.

916
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,479
Speaker 1: We forked him, and I'm just noivous. Now he's playing

917
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 1: both sides of the fen. Now he's got to somehow

918
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: be right for forking, for not forking the Packers when

919
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: he's the one that you can trust in number twelve.

920
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm trusted in number eleven. At no point in this

921
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: preview did we mention Michael Parsons or the best unit

922
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: in this game by far the Cowboys defenses. Everything you're

923
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: saying makes sense. I'm just saying, um, true greatness, legendary

924
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: greatness sometimes will surprise table it. Okay, that's good. I'm

925
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: glad I took it so high. Don't discussing down out greatness.

926
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: Why are we still discussing. I agree with you there

927
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: and I and I wouldn't shock me at all if

928
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: they cover five points here and if it's a little

929
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: closer than I know what. He won back to back

930
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: m vps that was seven years ago. He's not that. No,

931
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: he is the reigning back to back m VP with

932
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: his back against the wall. This is a dangerous, wounded

933
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: animal game. That's all I'm saying. They've been wounded for

934
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: four weeks. I understand that all speak against the wall,

935
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: and this isn't in a popular popular opinion. Everyone's gonna

936
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: say I'm wrong. No, You're you're scared, You're you're speaking

937
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: at this thing like we get it. I'm on my

938
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: own here now. It become utterly absurd for everyone in

939
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: the two days ago talking we were part of the decision. Yes,

940
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: I got bullied as I recall, you're like Chris Ballard.

941
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: Why don't you guys make me take so many receivers? Um? Alright,

942
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, I'm gonna go Cleveland in Miami. We really

943
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 1: do need to pick it. That's okay, Okay, have a strategy, Greg, don't. Don't.

944
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: He immediately takes a shook game right after bat I

945
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: am scheduled for He does love the pip games. But

946
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why he allowed to bring that up.

947
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: Will you ever stop talking, Greg at any point about Dan?

948
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: Dan is the I have to talk. I don't know

949
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: what to say. At this point, I got like, this

950
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: is the game I want to see because look at

951
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the slate. I have no problem taking

952
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: this game. I don't know if anyone can stop Miami's

953
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: offense because the difference with what we just talked about

954
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: the Green Bay is that what Mike McDaniel, who I'll

955
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 1: never forget Dan. When we were at that combine and

956
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: we've mentioned this before with that Niners coaching staff and

957
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: people were coming out that would work telling us like

958
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: this guy, Mike McDaniel is the reason we are we

959
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: are and it was like, all right, this guy, he's

960
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: like a little tiny dude and like he's a brainiac

961
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: and like you know, he's different. He is scheming the

962
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver so totally open, and I I'm sort of

963
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: exhausted with I think we all are with this to

964
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: a debate, I don't think toa is like the physical

965
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: equivalent of Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen especially, but he

966
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: totally works in this offense because of the way that

967
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: he operates with Tyreek Hill, with Jalen Waddle, They're totally

968
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: wide open, and when he throws them off a yard

969
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: or two, they make up for it with their skills.

970
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just like completely dangerous and unstoppable. And

971
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: I want to see if Cleveland's defense from that Cincinnati game,

972
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: where for the first time all season, I thought the

973
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 1: way they used their defensive line um I hadn't seen

974
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: this all before, made life very uncomfortable for Joe Burrow.

975
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can do that against this

976
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins team. Denzel Awards sounds like he will be back.

977
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: He said he's gonna play. That helps, but they have

978
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: been getting killed. They're one of the worst teams in

979
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: the league at the six They've allowed the sixth most

980
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: explosive plays that to me, is not a good recipe

981
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: for stopping a Dolphins passing game that has been essentially

982
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: frying every one week after week. Yeah, I think we

983
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: need to find out if the Browns defense is starting

984
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: to turn their season around with that great performance or

985
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: if that was just a division game Hollywood opponent. It

986
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: sounds like an adoration because it wouldn't shock me. There's

987
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: no reason personnel wise that they should be one of

988
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: the worst defense in the league. They should be average

989
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: at worst. I think Mike McDaniel deserves a ton of credit.

990
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: I think Jalen Wattle and Tyree Hill individually deserve more credit.

991
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: The calm the nation of those two and the intelligence

992
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: of Mike McDaniel and in the front office. But I

993
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: think Mike Dan was a huge part of it to

994
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: give up everything for Tyreek Hill because they already knew

995
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: they had Waddle, and his speed is so special, and

996
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: he's a he's a top fifteen potentially receiver on his own,

997
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: and and just the two of them breaks the brains

998
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: of opposing defenses. And you're right, there's not a huge

999
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: reason to think that the Browns are suddenly going to

1000
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: be the defense to solve it. Yeah, the question for

1001
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: me for Miami is I want to see you know,

1002
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: two has got to stay healthy, and you hope he does.

1003
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of curious to see how this offense looks

1004
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: in cold weather when it starts getting nasty in the

1005
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: next six to eight weeks. But to me, defense would

1006
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: be the biggest question because they just got rolled by

1007
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: Justin Fields and on balance, you know, they went and

1008
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: traded for Bradley Chubb and that will in time, that

1009
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: will make them better. But do will they have enough

1010
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: stops in them when two uh and company do get

1011
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: slowed down as will happen when the competition goes up.

1012
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: That that's the only question. But I see this team

1013
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: I'm in now, Like it took me a while to

1014
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: come around on the Dolphins, but this does feel like

1015
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: a ten to eleven win team. Um, unless some things

1016
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: that are unforeseen, like injuries or whether this offense that

1017
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: would be disappointing later on, because at this point, eleven

1018
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: feels like the floor because eleven is what five and

1019
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: for the rest of the way, I think they they've

1020
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: got their sights set higher, and I think they should.

1021
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: But you're right about the defense and This is a

1022
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: tough defensive matchup. The Browns are great running team. It's

1023
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: a it'll be interesting to see how much they trust

1024
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: Kobett because the Dolphins are thirty feet in the league

1025
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: in past defense dv o A. They're a good run defense,

1026
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: they're terrible creating pressure on their own. That's partly why

1027
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: they traded for Chubb. So in theory, this is a

1028
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: game that would enrage Dan because they won't give Nick

1029
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: Chubb the ball enough. I mean, Nick Chubb is the

1030
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: fourth most carries in the league. More okay, but I

1031
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: mean there's not that much separating from the first one.

1032
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: Hunt is mostly like not his his. They're not splitting Hunt.

1033
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: But I would say this like like set against the Bengals,

1034
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: and he's done this for quarters in a row. He's

1035
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,800
Speaker 1: played really clean and he does have chemistry with the

1036
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper. There may be no David the Joku. We

1037
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: don't know right now that he the Joker is having

1038
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: an awesome season. People were killing the Browns when they

1039
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: signed us on the initial time like that. That's a

1040
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: big loss for them. They don't have a lot of

1041
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: weapons and that's why they're a run heavy team and

1042
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: I think the Cleveland right now, they're three and six.

1043
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do anything. There's three and six, like

1044
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: they've blown so many games the season, three, three and five.

1045
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: They could be they could be five and three. But

1046
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: like a lot of Browns fans, I feel like that

1047
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,919
Speaker 1: game reawakened some belief that this team could do things

1048
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: and this is not an unwinnable game. The Dolphins have

1049
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: been in the final seconds battling the last two weeks

1050
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,280
Speaker 1: against the Lions and the Bears. Their games are always

1051
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: in the thirties. That's kind of where I expect this

1052
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: game to be. In the thirties, down to the wire.

1053
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: They've had one bad game all year the Browns. I

1054
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: think people are sleeping on their better than people realize

1055
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: their losses. Thirty one thirty bad game against New England

1056
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: and the Baltimore on the road. And that's why Mike

1057
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: McDaniel said this Cleveland Browns team is no joke. This

1058
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: team can beat any team in the NFL. I think

1059
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: I agree with that when they are when they're playing well,

1060
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: they match up in a very kind of wide open

1061
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: league well with anybody. They're only three games left, by

1062
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: the way of brown Buffalo next spicy for the most part, right,

1063
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: So you gotta get this your you can't go three

1064
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: and six, and then we'll see what Buffalo's quarterback situation

1065
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: is then so but and then you get Tampa Bay

1066
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: at home, and then everything changes because Deshaun Watson enters

1067
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: the scene. Which I know a lot of us don't

1068
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 1: want to see Deshaun Watson on the field, but don't

1069
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: let the Browns get to five hundred or above when

1070
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: Watson gets there, because he is a great quarterback. And

1071
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna if it's gonna immediately

1072
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: lead to the Browns taking a step up, It might

1073
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: take time. He might struggle entirely this year. Who knows,

1074
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: because he hasn't played in so long. But that's right

1075
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: around the horizon right there. Tim Bad news for Dolphins

1076
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: fans this week was Mike McDaniel indicating that Byron Jones's

1077
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: return this season is not totally guaranteed. This is a

1078
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: cornerback who is one of the highest paid players that

1079
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: has positioned in the in the entire league that we

1080
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 1: thought it was just like a multi week injury at first.

1081
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: He has not played at all, and they might not

1082
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: get him back. All right, let's take a break and

1083
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: we'll sneaked. All right, here we go, We're back Mark

1084
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 1: another one. Well, this game is a game that I

1085
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: would have avoid hardcore um had certain events not taken

1086
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: place this week. It is a late game. I cannot

1087
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: wait to see Jeff Saturday in the Indianapolis Cults go

1088
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: up against the Raiders. Just everybody knows that during the

1089
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: break we were all like, man, the show's run a

1090
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: little long. We should try to tighten things up. And

1091
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: then Mark launches into a thirty seven second wind up

1092
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: just to pick his next game. But then you spent

1093
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: thirty seconds commenting on my wind I understand that. And

1094
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: so it's a team effort. There's no way we get

1095
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: out of here under three hours. There's no chance. Well,

1096
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: we're enjoying ourselves. We are having a great time. Go ahead.

1097
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: I just to me, this is like how who no

1098
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: matter what you're when, no matter what you're doing, or

1099
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be watching this game out of the

1100
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: corner of your eye, just to see what unfolds with

1101
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: And the one thing about Jeff Saturday, I get that

1102
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: everything got he he got killed. The Cults are getting killed.

1103
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of reason for it, for a

1104
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: lot of the hiring behind it, the whole thing. But

1105
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday, according to everyone in the building, waltzton and

1106
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: gave like an incredible opening speech and kind of won

1107
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of people over. To me, I will see

1108
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckner was like, this guy came and brought energy.

1109
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: We needed that. I know, Dan, you'll never believe in

1110
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: something like that. You'll just sit there and gruff and groan.

1111
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: But I to me, maybe you won't believe in it.

1112
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: Maybe by Sunday. They're also a bad football team on offense,

1113
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: but they do have a good defense. And if Jeff

1114
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: Saturday can make one difference and helped the most expensive

1115
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: offensive line in the league play a better game on Sunday,

1116
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: then why don't why don't ask why don't you hire

1117
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: him to be the offensive line coach? Well, he was

1118
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: Consulting's going to be so busy as a head coach,

1119
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: you would imagine. But but wait, but we can him

1120
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: and Hall over the decision. I think we did that

1121
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: on our last show. I just want to see how

1122
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: it goes because I think one thing that's interesting here

1123
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: is that it quietly is masking over the second biggest

1124
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: most disappointing coaching scenario in the league, which is Josh

1125
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: McDaniels and the Raiders, makes this game even bigger for

1126
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders because if they lose this game to Jeff

1127
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: Saturday's Colts and the number thirty two offense in the

1128
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: league according to d v o A with Parks Fraser

1129
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: running the show, it is a complete and utter embarrassment

1130
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: on top of losing all these seventeen point games, and

1131
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders are struggling through it right now. On Thursday,

1132
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: they placed Hunter Renfro and Darren Waller on injured reserve,

1133
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: and Hunter Renfro finally showed up last week this season

1134
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: and he is having the worst season really of his career. Well,

1135
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: we might know there might be more of a reason now.

1136
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: He's obviously banged up enough to disappear from the roster

1137
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: right and he had a concussion issue early in the year.

1138
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: But he played really well last week, and I thought, oh,

1139
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: this has been missing from the Raiders offense, Derek Carr

1140
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: and McDaniels, and they've all gotten a lot of the

1141
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: focus and I get it. Their defense is dead last.

1142
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: So this is the worst defense in the league on

1143
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: paper against the worst offense in the league, and that

1144
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: defense with Patrick Graham, who I liked that higher, and

1145
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of old Mike Mayock players and Chandler

1146
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: Jones has been in utter fiasco for for the money

1147
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: that they got him. It's been one of the worst

1148
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: free agent signings. Are you not curious about you? Let

1149
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: me let me make myself clear. I'm curious, Like when

1150
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: you're rubber necking on the Garden State Parkway and you're

1151
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: checking out the accident. I'm the I'm not curious. And

1152
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: they're like, whoa Jeff Saturday wants some dude's over because

1153
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: he's you know, well spoken and charismatic. Hold on, like

1154
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't just because like all I'm saying is like

1155
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: it's been it's it's been such a uniform destruction of

1156
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: the cults from A to Z by every single person

1157
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: in the media that there is something about human life

1158
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: and sports. Were like maybe for some reason, they responded

1159
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday and like everyone's uh talking like that, all right,

1160
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: but it's like, but what like but that doesn't minded

1161
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: Just to see what happened because everyone that knows Saturday, um,

1162
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: everyone that worked with him at ESPN, people like Steve

1163
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Wish said, great guy. People. He's known as like a

1164
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: really good dude. I'm sure he's good at connecting with people.

1165
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: But this is head coaching at the NFL with a

1166
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: roster that is brutal uh, a quarterback who shouldn't be

1167
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: starting in the NFL, an offensive line that is badly disappointed,

1168
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: a star running back that's on one leg, a team

1169
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: that knows the whole thing is getting blown up at

1170
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff behind this in over his head head coach

1171
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: is piste Off Angelo for sure, the new offensive coordinator

1172
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: parks Fraser literally like getting coffee for the coaching staff

1173
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: under Frank Reich three or four years ago. Now he's

1174
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: the play caller, and I think if it were a movie,

1175
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: it would be like one of the greatest things. Yes,

1176
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: that's all. I'm just like you can see that Mark

1177
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: is in on these cults winning this game. At least.

1178
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: It's sort of like the dead cabin. Zach Kieffer, who

1179
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: knows this team way more than we do. He said

1180
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: he sees maybe one win in them, Maybe this is it.

1181
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Maybe this is one win that the Colts have for

1182
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But I think They've now

1183
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: been constructed to lose as many games as possible, and

1184
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: I think the Raiders, unless they've completely quit on their coach,

1185
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: will see on this as an opportunity to get right.

1186
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could lock this game up,

1187
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: but you could. But if you locked up the Cults,

1188
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: what would you do? I wouldn't give you. I don't

1189
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: need to pray. Remember when one second doesn't remember when

1190
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: you've been me ten dollars to not say something I

1191
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: would say, to stop saying before the show limited, like

1192
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: over No, you kept saying it to Greg and Gregg

1193
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: and his ear and the people behind the glass four

1194
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: five hundred times in a row. I would return those

1195
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: ten dollars if you locked up this team, But I

1196
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: don't know if that counts as gambling, so we won't

1197
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: do it. Then I tumble down the standings further. I

1198
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: just want to say, you know, you talk about the

1199
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: Colts possibly only winning one more game, they might finish

1200
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: fourth in the a f C South. Wouldn't that be crazy? Huh?

1201
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Was on front of front of it. They're a game

1202
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: and a half up on the Texans and easy what happened? Yeah,

1203
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: he's he was ahead of that the culture, we aren't horrific.

1204
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: He was ahead of it. By the way, are you

1205
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: ready to give the Sandwiches that the Seahawks will have

1206
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: a top five picked? You might as well just bring

1207
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: him in right now. But remember when I said it

1208
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: and I was told that I was hanging shouts because

1209
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: it was such an easy thing to predict. Well, then

1210
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: you lost in both. Nobody was covered in glory on

1211
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 1: that one. Why you're turning that around at us? So

1212
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: you took something that looked safe and you were horrifically

1213
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: wrong on it. Double, Just not turn things around. I

1214
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 1: don't know where you're coming with that. Let's move on.

1215
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Let's move on. No, I absolutely will lose those favor

1216
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: was going to lock up the Raiders there. That seemed

1217
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: like what he was gonna do You want to go

1218
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: for it? Thought about it? Have a bolder choice coming alright?

1219
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: That one doesn't pass the mirror test for me? Alright,

1220
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: very well, the Raiders are two and seven. I think

1221
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: that that would pass a mirror test. Greg, go ahead, Okay,

1222
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Jags Chiefs because I do enjoy

1223
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: watching a Tony Romo game. Ultimately, that's the tiebreaker for

1224
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: me in a big spot. I don't mind watching that

1225
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes live. How entertaining is this guy? Let's uh

1226
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: not take him for granted. He really is there anyone

1227
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: here taking He's a great quarterback in all time great

1228
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: We're blessed to watch him kind of that. Since his

1229
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: MVP season, he hasn't quite been at that same exact

1230
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 1: level at least, and right now he is back. Like

1231
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: I was not allowing m v pizza, you know how

1232
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I think premature m v P talk. Who needs it?

1233
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to have necessary You're not allowed to

1234
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: have that fun. And we've reached week ten. Thank god,

1235
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm allowing it. He's the m v P. He's the

1236
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 1: m v P. Right now, everything just got brighter. I'm

1237
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: into it. I mean, he's he's the one. When he's

1238
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: in structure, he's amazing, and when he's out of structure,

1239
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: he's amazing. Before the season, Patrick Mahomes, So we all

1240
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: have our little agendas, don't we. I didn't bring it up.

1241
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: I got you to bring it up. That's how you

1242
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: do it. A don't act like Mahomes is terrible. The

1243
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: last couple of years he was remember the divisional playoffs

1244
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: against UH Buffalo. That was one of the most remarkable

1245
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: feats of quarterback playoffs. No, I'm not acting like he's terrible,

1246
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: but I do think he's had the best start to

1247
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: a career that any quarterback I've ever seen has had.

1248
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: And right now he's kind of right back to another

1249
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: mini peak here. You know, Brady and Manning, like all

1250
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: the greats, have slight ups and downs, and right now

1251
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: he's peeking and it's it's fun to watch. There's not

1252
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: much reason to believe the Jaggars will slow him down,

1253
01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: but you know, there is not a lot of reason

1254
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: the from the Jaguars angle. Like you, Trevor Lawrence, we

1255
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: kept asking for it. I thought he had his best game.

1256
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: I think we all thought that was his best game

1257
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 1: last week. They're they're hidden away. They're always playing at

1258
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: one pm in the middle of nowhere, like I would

1259
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: love to see for once. This is a great spot

1260
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence, Travis E. T N but especially Lawrence

1261
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: and Christian Kirk to hang with the Chiefs. That would

1262
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: be a big turning point. Romo game not exactly the

1263
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 1: National game, but I don't know why it's a Romo game,

1264
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 1: but The next best was Dolphins Brown, so be a

1265
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: bad choice in my book. And I know Tony Romo

1266
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 1: likes to wax poetic about you know, Patrick Mahomes for

1267
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: four straight hours, so on your radar, Steve spac Nolo.

1268
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: Is kind of a test young quarterbacks have to pass.

1269
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: And I know the Chief's defense isn't very good this season,

1270
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: but he struggled against Cover two and Spagnola just kind

1271
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: of throws a lot at you and sees how you're

1272
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: going to react as a young quarterbacks. We're spendss that

1273
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: to hear Romo analyze that too. Isn't it fair at

1274
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: this point to say, like Trevor Lawrence trying to defend

1275
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: my pick, Trevor Lawrence standing up and do something here,

1276
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: It would be a nice spot for that. You don't

1277
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: have to defend it because I'm up with the next

1278
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: two picks. And it's not yeah, the Great Shakes at

1279
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: this point going forward, it's floating trash. All right. I

1280
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: will hit the next game, and you know two teams

1281
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: I haven't enjoyed watching this year, but again I have

1282
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: to grab a light game and uh, I'll grab Arizona

1283
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: at Los Angeles, an important game, No doubt each are

1284
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 1: quarterback questions here. Matthew Stafford was placed into the concussion

1285
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: to this game. By the way, you did, yeah, tell

1286
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: me about it. Well, it was a work raffle and

1287
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: an email was sent out. It doesn't send it responded.

1288
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't a raffle. It was an email to talent

1289
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: right that whoever responded first that a little. It's who responded.

1290
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: It's not. I thought it was like a working class raffle,

1291
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: like I'll buy six tickets. Now, you're right. It was.

1292
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,919
Speaker 1: It was whoever response first, but went out the email.

1293
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: I saw it at nine seventeen. I responded and got

1294
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: an email at nine twenty. You got it. So what

1295
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: are you gonna do with him? I was gonna give

1296
01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 1: him to Jason's Almwalt or he's in Arizona. Though this

1297
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: game is in l A. You should go cover it.

1298
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: There's only one late game each kind of fun we

1299
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: can get. You have sights and sounds. Maybe you have

1300
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: clearance from the gang if you want to do we

1301
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: could switch games, maybe like the late game. If I

1302
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 1: decided to do that, it will cause you next week. No,

1303
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that to you, but I could let

1304
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: me think about it. I'd like to hurt my friends

1305
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: perfect Rams Cardinals. Who always feels good to hurt your friends.

1306
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Stafford is in the concussion protocol. I don't know what

1307
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: happened last week. Was there a play that people are

1308
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: circling back to saying this is where he went down?

1309
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: He said it happened in the game, but that he

1310
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: didn't have symptoms until days later. His wife had a

1311
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: interesting Instagram post where she was just kind of emotional

1312
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: for the most part and said she had all the

1313
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: emotions and one of them was anger, And I kind

1314
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: of get that your your husband had a concussion in

1315
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: the game and no one did anything or noticed. Still

1316
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: keeps this still keeps happening, no matter how much attention

1317
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: is placed on it. It does. So if we don't

1318
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 1: have Stafford, Who's who's behind him right now? John Wolford.

1319
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: But it's not it's not even confirmed that would be

1320
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: Wolford over Bryce Hopkins. I think it'll be Wolford though.

1321
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: Either way. It's a very bad situation, a horrific situation

1322
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,719
Speaker 1: for the Rams that Stafford doesn't play because the offense

1323
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: is already kind of a mess with Stafford. Take him

1324
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,719
Speaker 1: out of the mix, and uh, I don't know what happens.

1325
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: This feels like a team with a ten point ceiling

1326
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 1: quite frankly without stafford Um, which you know the Cardinals

1327
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 1: they'll out they can outdo themselves. So I don't, I don't.

1328
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: This would be the Cardinals if they do get Indeed,

1329
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: a team without there star quarterback on the field, the

1330
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 1: Cardinals should win this game. But again week after week

1331
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: and we saw it again against the Seahawks. This team

1332
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: is just sloppy and undisciplined. Um, I know you guys

1333
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: have been checking in on the Hard Knocks. Did we

1334
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 1: learn any nuts? Because the flip side of this Kyler Murray,

1335
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: they announced he has a hamstring issue. Sounds like that's

1336
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: he's got a better chance to play, but hard Knocks

1337
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: revealed where it happened. He had a seventeen yard run

1338
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: in the first half, but thene a couple of plays later.

1339
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: You remember, right before the half, he scrambled and it

1340
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: was a beautiful scramble, but then the ball was popped

1341
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: out by Ryan Neal and he basically walked over the

1342
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: trainer and said he couldn't fully open up on the

1343
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: run because of the hamstring. So hard Knocks taught us that.

1344
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: I thought it taught us a little bit about the

1345
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins Kyler te a TT. Yeah. I thought it

1346
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: was really interesting. It's not a pick me up type

1347
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,719
Speaker 1: of show. It's a show of people under a lot

1348
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: of pressure between Cliff Kingsbury, Kyler Murray, Steve Kim, the

1349
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: owner of the owner flying around in his personal jet.

1350
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: It's bad vibes, and I think they edited in a

1351
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: way that you're not miserable watching it, but you can

1352
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 1: feel the tension and to me, to see the seams

1353
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: on the edit in this one, no no, But what

1354
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean is like there's only so much editing you

1355
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,640
Speaker 1: can do. I find watching them under this sort of

1356
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: pressure like compelling if if nothing else. I don't know

1357
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 1: if that'll stay for seven weeks, but you can see

1358
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: how they're not comfortable right now. And Kyler is very

1359
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: hard on himself and you can see his hard at others.

1360
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: People got into the Hopkins thing where they're yelling back

1361
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: and forth. I didn't I think that was a totally

1362
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: normal of two players told him to calm the you know,

1363
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 1: the expletive down. I mean, Kylamuri just seems to kind

1364
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: of lose his cool like week after week, which which

1365
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: I find enjoyable. Um so the Rams terrible vibes. They

1366
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: could lose this game still at the Cardinals. Yeah, I'm

1367
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,440
Speaker 1: kind of in that boat. The rams um defense surprisingly

1368
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: has not gotten to the quarterback this year. QB pressure

1369
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: rate that's the worst in the entire NFL. Aaron Donald

1370
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: is healthy and playing every week on that line and

1371
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, this is from next gen stats, has been

1372
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: brutal this year when under durest Is completion percentage is

1373
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: well below he is not throwing a touchdown under pressure,

1374
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: six picks averaging less than four yards of the attempt,

1375
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 1: and if he's compromised with a leg issue, you would

1376
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: think maybe this is a game where maybe Aaron Donald

1377
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: himself makes the huge play that swings a low scoring affair.

1378
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm seeing a lot of points

1379
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: in this game. I can I tell you one like

1380
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: crazy Ram stat that they have the highest three and

1381
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: out rate of any team that Matthew Stafford has ever

1382
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: been a quarterback of through the first nine games. That's

1383
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: from Jordan Rodrigue the Athletic. It's it makes sense and

1384
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 1: this is by far the worst Matthew Stafford's ever played it.

1385
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: He's sort of avoided criticism because the situation so bad,

1386
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's fair that he's mostly avoided it.

1387
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: But he's not raised in the level and he's not

1388
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: the same guy he was a year ago. I think

1389
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: he would have come up with a few more plays

1390
01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: a year ago than he has this year. I don't

1391
01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: think John Walford will be better. I was gonna say,

1392
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: I hope you're not going down. I don't think it'll

1393
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: be better, but I don't think it's gonna get much worse,

1394
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 1: because what's gonna be work, That's what I mean. You

1395
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:10,800
Speaker 1: never know. But they do get Brian Allen. It sounds

1396
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 1: like Brian Allen the center will come back, which would

1397
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: help John Wolford a lot too, and Coleman Shelton may

1398
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: come back at guard. I still you said never doubt

1399
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: the m v P. I do still have a feeling that, like,

1400
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: never doubt the heart of a champion. A little bit

1401
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: here with Wolford starting the defense has shown us we

1402
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: were in person for it, Dan and Mark that the

1403
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: defense can go win a game against the Cardinals on

1404
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: their own. They did it basically in Week two was it.

1405
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: That was kind of an ugly game, but the defense

1406
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: did well. I could just see them being all fired

1407
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: up that they win a thirteen to ten game with

1408
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking too, But it really you have

1409
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: it's a top heavy roster, but you need Aaron Donald,

1410
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: you need Jalen Ramsey, you need Bobby Wagner. Somebody's got

1411
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: to make a play. I'm not gonna say they need

1412
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown, but hell, it wouldn't be a

1413
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: bad thing. They might really use one of these dudes

1414
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,560
Speaker 1: to step up and win the game. And Stafford, we

1415
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: see one of these weekly Billy Price shooting the ball

1416
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 1: over Kyler Murray's heads. Play in their playbook. You can

1417
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 1: tell how annoyed they all are at Billy Price. Yeah,

1418
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are missing for their starting offensive linemen and

1419
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: that's that's been a part of all this. And they're

1420
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna be missing Big Buddha Baker, who was kind of

1421
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: the centerpiece of the show as their emotional leader, and

1422
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: now he's out for two to three weeks. So I

1423
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 1: was gonna share, Okay, I'm gonna save it for the

1424
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: Friday Fun Show. Hang On, Pregnant, pause, pure counting stat

1425
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 1: but sometimes I like him. Not everybody likes him. Matthew

1426
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 1: Stafford on pace for seventeen touchdowns this year. We had

1427
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 1: forty one last year in the regular season. All right,

1428
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:46,440
Speaker 1: now it is time for the Sunday Drive presented by Toyota.

1429
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: That brings it up to the old zeuser who uh

1430
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: snakes it up and um, alright, grave digger, ride with me,

1431
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 1: baby Broncos at let's talk about it. Hop on, justin,

1432
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,759
Speaker 1: you got the Denver Broncos coming off there by Russell Wilson,

1433
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: everybody making fun of him every day over and over again,

1434
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 1: but also Nathaniel Hackett and their coaching staff and russ.

1435
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,600
Speaker 1: I guess that's it. They got a blow there to

1436
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: be able to kind of reset some things. They got

1437
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 1: the win in England heading into the bye. So I

1438
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: am actually interested, not that I'm buying in on the Broncos,

1439
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: and I know now they're defensively a lesser team after

1440
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 1: they sold at the deadline. Um, I'm interested to see

1441
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: if the Broncos have a little fight in them offensively.

1442
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: At the same time, they're going now to Nashville against

1443
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: a Tennessee team. Justin that we just on Sunday night football.

1444
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: They don't play around on defense. Even with the losses

1445
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: they they have had, they've been very good uh this year.

1446
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: So it feels like it sets up well for the Titans.

1447
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: But I'm still interested to see what kind of Broncos

1448
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 1: team we get in this game. It will be interesting

1449
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: to see what kind of told that Sunday night game

1450
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,719
Speaker 1: took on the Titans defense. A lot of snaps. Jeffrey

1451
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 1: sim Men's has been in a walking boot Wednesday and Thursday.

1452
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: This week. We'll see what he looks like on Friday,

1453
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: but his status could be in jeopardy. Amani Hooker still

1454
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: not playing, Bud Dupree is not practicing right now, Zack

1455
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 1: Cunningham is not practicing right now, and Ryan Tannehill is

1456
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 1: still limited in practice. So if Millie Willis take has

1457
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: to start a third straight game, it'd be a lot

1458
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 1: on Henry against a pretty tough Broncos defense. Dan over

1459
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: under two and a half backup quarterbacks you'll be watching

1460
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: this weekend. Oh wow? Okay, Well, where are we at

1461
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: on Tannehill right now? What is the situation so he's

1462
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: been I want to be optimistic. I think okay for

1463
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: the third week in row. Oh no, whatever. Okay, what

1464
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 1: the listener needs to now now in the viewer needs

1465
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: to know whatever. Justin says. The opposite is what's going

1466
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 1: to happen at quarterback for the Titans today. I don't know,

1467
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: just go I think Tannehill will play this week, but

1468
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: I also based on the fact that he's actually on

1469
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: the practice field this week, he's speaking to her orders.

1470
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 1: He was so confident he would play the other weeks,

1471
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 1: but he wasn't even practicing well he was. He was

1472
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: a little limited last week. He didn't look ready to

1473
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,680
Speaker 1: return on the like when he warmed up before the

1474
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City game, said clear he had high ankle spraining.

1475
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 1: Adam schefter like alluded to it but wouldn't report it,

1476
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: which made me think like he knows but wasn't allowed

1477
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,679
Speaker 1: to report it. In words, he said, it's not something

1478
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: that gets better overnight. It is definitely testing my patients

1479
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 1: up until this point and is still doing so. Yes,

1480
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: and he said he also said it's something I could

1481
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,600
Speaker 1: be dealing with for a while. But the question, like,

1482
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 1: there's a difference between something you're dealing with and something

1483
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: you can play through. I think he's going to reach

1484
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 1: a point where he can play through it. But it's

1485
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: also a not good Titans offensive line that maybe they

1486
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 1: don't want him out there if he can't be mobile

1487
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: and get away from pressure. But like the drop off

1488
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: from him to Milik. The other part of this is

1489
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: Ryan was there on the sideline watching Malik Wilson Sunday night,

1490
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's on his mind. Like I know,

1491
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: our team is in trouble because this kid, and this

1492
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: is not saying he's a bust or anything. He's a rookie,

1493
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 1: but he's in over his head right now. And are

1494
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: we going to send him out there against a Denver

1495
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: defense that's been the best part of that team, uh,

1496
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: and risk losing a conference game. It's it's a tough call,

1497
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,599
Speaker 1: but I would think Tannell, if he can move enough there,

1498
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back. But we don't know. It's been tricky.

1499
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: So you're saying he is playing though, I think he'll play,

1500
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: and I think this game is like a race to

1501
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: fifteen points. Whoever crosses that threshold first. Yeah. Right. I

1502
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: look at this Broncos defense and there maybe the best

1503
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: past defense in the league, and they're really good pass rush.

1504
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 1: But the Titans are like Okay, that's fine, We're not

1505
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: going to pass. They're never gonna pass. Even if it's

1506
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannell, We're never gonna pass. And you kind of

1507
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,759
Speaker 1: can run on them, you know. I'm curious if Denver

1508
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:46,799
Speaker 1: could come out of the by. I think they're among

1509
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: the most likely bad first half teams to be much

1510
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 1: better in the second half, not because Russell Wilson will

1511
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: play great, but just that they'll have enough drives. They

1512
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: come up with the drive here and there and you're like, Wow,

1513
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: they have good players on their team, don't such as

1514
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: a nice young player who has been added to the

1515
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: mixed Jerry Dudey's playing well. It's like, if you just

1516
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: get one extra Russell Wilson drive, if you just get

1517
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: him to be mediocre, then they can go at least

1518
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: five and three the rest of the way and like

1519
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 1: turn around. And I think would be a major, major

1520
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: letdown for the Titans to after coming off as psychologically

1521
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 1: damaging loss to the Chiefs, where they played so well

1522
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:23,599
Speaker 1: and did everything you could ask up until the end,

1523
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: to lose to to Russell Wilson and the Broncos. After

1524
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 1: what we've seen from their offense, they did essentially play

1525
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: two games last week though, nine plus snaps. That's a

1526
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 1: good call. That's always on my radar. And Jeffrey the

1527
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: women's is in a walking boot this week here just

1528
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: repainting all the things I know said but said it

1529
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: like he didn't even have like defensive players practice essentially

1530
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 1: so far. But he's just say nature of the Sunday

1531
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 1: night game. I think that's what he was. There is

1532
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: a chance to and I said from the show over

1533
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: and I'm leaving this Burk's it's because Mark and I

1534
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,799
Speaker 1: are like talking about, Wait, who have four games? What's happening?

1535
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 1: Everybody calmed down? Stuff going on, step and eye on trails.

1536
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:16,600
Speaker 1: The need they need Burkes to come back and be

1537
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 1: a guy, because where's Robert Woods this season? Now? I

1538
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: know with Willis it's gonna be a mess, but they

1539
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: need some guys to step up if we're gonna actually

1540
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: take the Tytoons. Seriously, let's actually the chiefs for snaps

1541
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: on on Sunday night, the Sunday night football games, right,

1542
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: And I think the injury situation on the defensive line

1543
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: like Bud Dupree Jeffrey Simmons could be effected a little

1544
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: nugget good all right. That was the Sunday Drive presented

1545
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 1: by Toyota. Let's take a break and then finish out

1546
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: the draft. Alright, we're back. Let's close this thing out. Greggy,

1547
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: your final pick. I'm gonna take the Texans Giants. Wait,

1548
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: why would I do that? I'm taking the Lions Bears. Sorry,

1549
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:05,719
Speaker 1: well out, Sorry Mark n That's fine. Mark probably would

1550
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 1: have wanted that game. We were we were trying to

1551
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: figure out what makes sense here Lions and Bears for

1552
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:15,560
Speaker 1: a team that's three and six. The Bears are suddenly intriguing,

1553
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: and the Lions defense since the bye. I think if

1554
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,719
Speaker 1: you watch them closely, are are playing better. They're playing

1555
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: with more energy. I know they fell apart uh for

1556
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,840
Speaker 1: most of that Dolphins game, especially in the second half,

1557
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: but everyone does against the Dolphins, who played with better energy.

1558
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 1: I think they're find more playmakers in general. They played

1559
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 1: well for most of the game against the Cowboys that

1560
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: they could slow down justin fields and this Bears offense enough,

1561
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: whereas the Bears have totally flipped the script and their

1562
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: defense is struggling. So I think this is a compelling

1563
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 1: game and I want to get behind the team of

1564
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: around the NFL. I think it's a good late draft pick. Yeah,

1565
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: it is. I mean the Bears are fun to watch.

1566
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: I mean the they I don't know if the Lions

1567
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 1: can slow them down. No one slowed down what they're

1568
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: doing on the ground. They have two five plus rushing

1569
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: yards and four straight games. That is tied for the

1570
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,759
Speaker 1: longest streak in NFL history with the nineteen seventies six Steelers.

1571
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't know why Detroit won't allow them to create

1572
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: history this weekend. And their more yard is per game

1573
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: is the most by a Bears team since Walter Payton

1574
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: won the m v P in nineteen seventies seven. And

1575
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:22,560
Speaker 1: it looks legit week after week. Justin Fields is converting

1576
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: long third downs into first downs with his legs over

1577
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: and over to higher rate than any quarterback this season.

1578
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: And I think he's grown as a pass or week

1579
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: after week. I'm not saying that, you know, there's still

1580
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 1: a lot to work on with that game, but we

1581
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: spent all offseasons saying that they kind of left him

1582
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 1: out to see there's no support around him. If Chase

1583
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: Claypool can get a little bit better in that offense,

1584
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: like there are some weapons there and they are dominating

1585
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 1: people physically on the ground. I love that kind of team.

1586
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:48,080
Speaker 1: You know what I love about it because you're right,

1587
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 1: and that was a fair criticisms. I think heading into

1588
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 1: this season, he has to learn a new offense. They

1589
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: didn't really beef up they traded Allen Robinson. But you

1590
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:57,640
Speaker 1: know what, I think what he's said prised. Maybe some

1591
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: people over on the west side of Cincinnati aren't surprise,

1592
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: but I think what he surprised me for sure, someone

1593
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: who doesn't study the college game how dynamic he is.

1594
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: And he has proven I think in the last couple

1595
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: of weeks that he could be a type of guy

1596
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: that just doesn't matter what's around him for the most part,

1597
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:16,640
Speaker 1: because he will make plays. And he already obviously is

1598
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 1: a dynamic rusher of the football, but the throws he

1599
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,600
Speaker 1: was making to me was even more encouraging in the

1600
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: last few weeks, and I just think with him, Yeah,

1601
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 1: the Bears are going to be a work in progress

1602
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 1: this year, but I think they're a berserker candidate going

1603
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: down the stretch this year, and look out in the

1604
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: NFC North if they make some smart decisions like a

1605
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 1: billion dollar because of what they've done, he has real

1606
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 1: strengths and I think once they are trying to like

1607
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: focus on the strength, then they're better off. The design

1608
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 1: runs have been twenty four in the last three weeks

1609
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 1: after only four before that, and then he's a good

1610
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 1: deep ball thrower. He's an accurate deep ball thrower, so

1611
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 1: if he used the play action to get him a

1612
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: little time, he can throw the ball. And if if

1613
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: the officials don't blow that past interference calling Chase Claypool

1614
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: with a minute thirty five to play last week, I

1615
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 1: think there's a good chance they win that game against Miami.

1616
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: And everyone's talking about Justin Fields right now, so instead

1617
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit obscured what's happening here. But

1618
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: I think he's turning into one of the great stories

1619
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: of the season, and I think by the end, it's

1620
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: by the time it's over. Um my point was going

1621
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 1: to be that he'll be Offensive Rookie of the Year,

1622
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:24,600
Speaker 1: but he can't because he's in a second year. So

1623
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker will win it because he's all got hurt.

1624
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:29,600
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the first year of his

1625
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: career was some time that Justin Fields is making the

1626
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 1: lead year too's amazing. But Luke gets Luke getsy Assistant

1627
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: of the Year because he did what Nick Sirianni did

1628
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 1: a year ago completely changed the offense with what Harbaugh

1629
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 1: did when lamar al right, the first month still counts

1630
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: that I know, but you've grown according to give it

1631
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: to Shane Waldron maybe and see I don't have about

1632
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: that got. What he's gonna do is he gonna do

1633
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: what we got to win this game? Ship I go

1634
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: because I'm locking it up against the team of a

1635
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 1: t L. You know he's he is a major part

1636
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 1: of the podcast. But we decided the team of a

1637
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: t and it wasn't just well but Mark saying it's

1638
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: okay because he could care less about the Lions and

1639
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: he wants them to lose this game. We're not not

1640
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: allowed to lock up against the team of a t L.

1641
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,559
Speaker 1: It lacks nobility potentially, but not from Justin seat. They

1642
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:30,679
Speaker 1: are winless on the road so far, these Lions until Sunday.

1643
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: I know, I kind of I don't know if I

1644
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 1: trust the Bears as a favorite at home. I don't

1645
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 1: particularly well that Justin Field. Hang on Justin Fields, Oh no,

1646
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 1: you can't have Justin Fields. His first name is just

1647
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: like such a good name that seems like there's no

1648
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: mirror tests with this is that's preposters. That's no point.

1649
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: Have you indicated any uh? I kept it quiet the

1650
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 1: last few weeks. Yeah, well you weren't aware. I mean,

1651
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: he's been in the league for two years now, he

1652
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: was a top ten pick. He's caught my eye recently

1653
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: and now he's my guy. All right, let's finish the

1654
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: number one fantasy quarterback over the last in the last

1655
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: four weeks. Yeah, this guy's he's showing something to me.

1656
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Was there some type of magic from Justin

1657
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: Fields were missing before the last six weeks or so? No,

1658
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: but you just liketh he just got on your radar,

1659
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: just saying yeah he was. He was a prospers for

1660
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people on Fields corner. There's a

1661
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 1: lot of anti Fields. I'm just saying it's been a thing.

1662
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 1: He's a potential superstar. Your your smugness on the side

1663
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 1: of the glass is all notable. Um, but again, I

1664
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 1: don't care. Well, we were glass its glass here. Can

1665
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: you imagine living with me? That's one of my favorites.

1666
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: We gotta go quick, alright, Houston and Giants can't wait

1667
01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: to see the Giants after their bye week, come back

1668
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 1: and just continue what Sorry, no, I can I love

1669
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 1: this Giant's team there my team of eights yet just yeah,

1670
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 1: but I I want to see how they respond. I

1671
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: will say, like I on the Houston side, I know

1672
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 1: that Davis Mills just whatever. From our live show in London,

1673
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 1: Davis Mills just blends in the woodwork. But Damian Pierce Man,

1674
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 1: I think is another Rookie of the Year candidate. Probably

1675
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 1: won't get one from Kenneth Walker. But about that live show,

1676
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: what a moment that was. What are your thoughts? Just

1677
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: go to the next game. Hey, Dan and Greg suck

1678
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: on that. Also from the live show, I think he

1679
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 1: was just saying, let you know, if they're going to

1680
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:45,439
Speaker 1: play the drop and we don't have control of that,

1681
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,799
Speaker 1: you know, let it, let it play out. It reminded

1682
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 1: me of one of my favorite memories of the show,

1683
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 1: when we were in that big room. It was a

1684
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:58,600
Speaker 1: special memory this past October. Anyway, I'm sorry, Mark, go ahead, No,

1685
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you want to keep these short. I've kept

1686
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 1: it short for you. I I want to see, uh,

1687
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: Davis Mills, you know, have two good games in a row.

1688
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: I feel like these two teams are kind of similar.

1689
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 1: Davis Mills is like the poor man's Daniel Jones right now.

1690
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: It's like Daniel Jones has become this caretaker who doesn't

1691
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 1: make mistakes and throws the ball short to Uh yeah,

1692
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 1: that's where Daniel Jones is better. But Davis Mills can

1693
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: be that kind of guy. And then they both have

1694
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: these dynamic running backs. But again, sae Quand is a

1695
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: better version of it because I think he's a bigger

1696
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: factor on the third down. The Giants get a lot

1697
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 1: of defensive players back, but they also lost Zavian McKenney.

1698
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 1: They just have been so injured. But they do have

1699
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: a lot of defensive players back. It sounds like a

1700
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 1: CBS procedural TV. I actually do have one take here.

1701
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,599
Speaker 1: This is the first spot where the Giants are supposed

1702
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 1: to win, you know the curse of supposed to by

1703
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: Dave Damashek. If the Giants win the games they are

1704
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 1: supposed to, they are going to make the playoffs. They

1705
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 1: are playing the Texas, they are playing the Lions. They

1706
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: have two games against the Commanders. Even if you lose

1707
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 1: one of them, you're supposed to win them. And they

1708
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: have the Colts. All of those games except one of

1709
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: the Commanders games are at home. So the Giants have

1710
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 1: won these close games. Are they ready to kind of

1711
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: move to the team that like wins games are supposed

1712
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: to two team needs to make the playoffs in the

1713
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 1: NFix And I don't think they're a fake at all.

1714
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 1: And then they have easy games, so they well, so

1715
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 1: they're but I don't they also made out that like

1716
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 1: if you, let's say, if it comes down to coaching,

1717
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 1: the Giants have one of the better coaching staffs in

1718
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: the league. By what we've seen so far, they are

1719
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 1: I do think they're regression candidate. And also they have

1720
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 1: trailed in every game this year. Um so would it

1721
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: stunn me if they play five D or a tick below? No,

1722
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:47,599
Speaker 1: but I think because of their six and two records

1723
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: they might still make the playoffs. Right, Well, the schedule

1724
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: is really what does it for me? That's only there's

1725
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 1: only nine games left. Five of them are against some

1726
01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the right they're six and two.

1727
01:28:58,479 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 1: Do you see more as like a nine or two

1728
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: and win team or do you see more as eleven

1729
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 1: or twelve? I see them as an eleven win team.

1730
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: That's probably more like a ten win ten or nine

1731
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 1: win team in real life. Nine so you have been

1732
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: winning three more games all year three or four, nine

1733
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: to ten nine at ten wins. I believe in the

1734
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 1: good feelings. I think they're going to keep doing magical things.

1735
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: It's it's a nice little storyline. A little storyline. What

1736
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not anything negative, I know, but people

1737
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 1: just I think like when they win a playoff game,

1738
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:30,879
Speaker 1: people can be like, oh, now we have to acknowledge

1739
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 1: they've done something right this season. That would be great.

1740
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,560
Speaker 1: If the Giants win a playoff game this year in

1741
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 1: the NFC, they can they can, Okay, go ahead, alright,

1742
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 1: star last one the Saints its Steelers. Yikes, Uh, don't

1743
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 1: have a ton of interest in this game. I don't

1744
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: know who does? I mean the Saints to me because

1745
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: I think like we spent all offseason saying there's a

1746
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: spectrum for the Saints low low EBB or high high EBB.

1747
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 1: There is there rights best team in they in in

1748
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 1: the NFC potentially or up there. Because we talking about

1749
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 1: their defense being secondary up there with the Ravens. All

1750
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:06,639
Speaker 1: that change when they you know they Gardner Johnson's gone

1751
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 1: I hated that move. I think that changed the energy

1752
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,600
Speaker 1: this team. They're a mess. They're an absolute mess. I

1753
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: hated how they got dominated and totally befuddled by the

1754
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: Ravens on Monday night. It was ugly, like they just

1755
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:20,120
Speaker 1: seemed like they didn't know what to do with the Ravens.

1756
01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:21,640
Speaker 1: They're not the first team that's not going to be

1757
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,559
Speaker 1: a problem with the Steelers. Matt Canada is so Canada

1758
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 1: that like, the Steelers to me, are a tough tough watch.

1759
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: Like a little bit. That's just what I wrote down

1760
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: to me, Like, there's Matt Canada. Canada beautiful. They've always

1761
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 1: been a very you know, an ally. I know here

1762
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: we Gonad and like I've been to Vancouver, I spent week,

1763
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 1: said Vancouver Island. I've traveled Canada. I actually like Canada.

1764
01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: I was just more saying that Matt Canada does not

1765
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: strike me as like the most high octane and boldened

1766
01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 1: regions of the NFL. I get it, but he's pretty underwhelming.

1767
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:01,679
Speaker 1: So that's and put in Canada in a tough spot

1768
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:06,519
Speaker 1: the country. Good Greg, Greg the White Horse for the

1769
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:09,559
Speaker 1: White Knight, another big effort here a good My brother,

1770
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:11,680
Speaker 1: uh you know, went to school at McGill, spent a

1771
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 1: lot of good time in Montreal with him. I like

1772
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: Montreal to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, home of the Heart Brothers

1773
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:23,599
Speaker 1: and their fathers Stu Hard rest in peace, they Dungeon.

1774
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:25,439
Speaker 1: What are you? What is going on over there? What

1775
01:31:25,479 --> 01:31:30,400
Speaker 1: are you talking to the gang? If Kenny Pickett is

1776
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 1: their guy, they need a new coach or they need

1777
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,760
Speaker 1: to figure some things out. And I know he's looked

1778
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:40,599
Speaker 1: better I test wise than the numbers, but the numbers

1779
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:45,600
Speaker 1: indicate he's has the lowest yards for of per completion

1780
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 1: of any rookie quarterback I think in a long time.

1781
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: And so I was thinking he was throwing it deep,

1782
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:55,240
Speaker 1: but that's just it's not true. He's not completing balls

1783
01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 1: down the field. They're averaging eleven points per game in

1784
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:00,639
Speaker 1: his start. I wouldn't be surpris eyes if they start

1785
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:05,559
Speaker 1: playing Jalen Warren over Naj Harris, which is like, it's weird,

1786
01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:07,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, T J. Watt could return for this game.

1787
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 1: I could see the Steelers winning it, just because I

1788
01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 1: have I keep struggling with that the Steelers are this

1789
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,720
Speaker 1: bad and and this just feels like a spot they

1790
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:22,360
Speaker 1: could send the sloppy Saint into more misery. UM saw

1791
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,719
Speaker 1: this yet had a gal pal from Toronto that once,

1792
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,720
Speaker 1: Ah I wanted to introduce me to her favorite band.

1793
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 1: It was The Tragically Hip, and she was trying to

1794
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:34,599
Speaker 1: sell me on the band, and she she knows I'm

1795
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,559
Speaker 1: a sports fan, and she said, oh, Tragically Hip an

1796
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 1: incredible group, and you're gonna love it because like so

1797
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:42,920
Speaker 1: many of their songs are about hockey. And I just

1798
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:44,800
Speaker 1: thought it was like the most Canadian thing anyone had

1799
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:46,960
Speaker 1: ever said to me. And it turns out they are

1800
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:49,680
Speaker 1: beloved in that country and a very good band. But

1801
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:51,719
Speaker 1: I think she's looking out for She's trying to connect

1802
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 1: with you and look out for your interests. Maybe she

1803
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:55,679
Speaker 1: didn't have the total nuance of what sport you followed.

1804
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:57,639
Speaker 1: It's not it's not a band about the New York

1805
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 1: Yankees or the no which would be interesting. I would

1806
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 1: probably listen to that, But she's she's attempting to build

1807
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 1: up some grede you know music you know coming out

1808
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 1: of Canada. Arcade Fire they were McGill students, rufus, Wayne Wright.

1809
