Mitchell, how are you welcome back? To the 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman podcast. We're doing it again. It's another Sunday, 22 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: favorite day of the week. You sit on the couch 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: for like twelve hours straight and just watch football, and 24 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: and there was some good football today. The storyline going 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: into the day was the big matchup between Brady and Rogers. 26 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: That game just wrapped up. Wasn't quite the theatrics that 27 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: we expected, but it still came down to the wire. Richard, 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the Brady Rogers matchup. I mean it's 29 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: a great matchup. I mean between them, they threw two 30 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: in completions. The entire first half. It looked like the 31 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: game and they looked like the quarterbacks that we've all 32 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: built them to be and who they all have been 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: their entire career. But at the end of the game, 34 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: second half, my boy a Rod no touchdowns, one interception, 35 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: Tom robs the ball down the field, scores a touchdown, 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: and has a delay of game for the two point 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: conversion at home, no crowd noise. Ah, that's gonna be 38 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: a backbreaker. That's when they're gonna hate, you know. That's 39 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: one of the ones you'd love to add back because 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: who knows if they can get it or not. But 41 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Leonard four Nett is tough to bring down and stop 42 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: with two yards to go. I think they get that, 43 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: but you know, makes it a lot harder to point conversion. 44 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: A Rod gets to win, so that's all that matters. 45 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: He threw an interception, but nobody's gonna remember. Everybody remember 46 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: wins and losses, and hey, Rod got this one, Richard. 47 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: It was a low scoring affair, um, I mean, fourteen 48 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: to twelve. Definitely did not expect it to be that 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: low scoring. I know Vegas didn't expect it to be 50 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: that low scoring, but they didn't. Will you attribute that 51 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: to the bad offense or good defense or a combo 52 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: with both? A combo votes. First off, A Rod, you know, 53 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: is is still battling his way through with these young 54 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: guys and still trying to make it through. They made 55 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: some plays for him today. He made some plays. He 56 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: simplified the offense. He got it to. His playmakers are Lea, 57 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: moving the defense, backside slant, finding those guys in very 58 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, creative ways. Um. But Tom, on the other hand, 59 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: is out there with whoever they could find. You know, 60 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: he's down three of his top three receivers. Um. You know, 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: Russell Gage is still out there. He got thirty million dollars, 62 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: so he still out there, and he made it. He 63 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: had a heck of a game, but there was a 64 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: lot of drops, a lot of fumbles, crucial situations. You know, 65 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: Tom played played a pretty good game, a really good game, 66 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: and those those fumbles were were game changing place Ke's 67 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: Sean Nixon made a heck of a play for the 68 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers came in there for Gire Alexander made 69 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: a huge play, game changeing play, punched the ball out 70 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: and that's what the Packers needed. They needed those turnovers. 71 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: So I give credit to the defense. You know, um, 72 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Tom had a good game, but he got down the 73 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: field when it counted. But you gotta you gotta find 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: those two points. I in the world, you can have 75 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: three fifty pound nose tackle and Vida Vella play in 76 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: space in coverage, break up that pass on Aaron Jones. 77 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean there's some monsters on the defensive side of 78 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: the ball for the Bucks. I know that you know 79 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: all of them very very well. Does this loss change 80 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: the way you view them as a top to your 81 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: team in the NFC? Um no, no, I mean it 82 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: doesn't really change the way I view them. Um, it 83 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: may change the seating down the line if they're not 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: able to to to make a run. The health of 85 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: the receiving corps is at the crust of this, so 86 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: it's not And and Tom still had a chance to 87 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: win at the end of the game. So you know, 88 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: without two of the I mean three of the top 89 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: receivers at his disposal, he still was able to go 90 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: out there and give himself a chance to win. And 91 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: you got to give Tampa Bay defense credit for being 92 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: able to hold a ride down to fourteen points the 93 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: entire game. With that being said, those receivers got to 94 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: be healthy. You know, Mike hast come back, Godwin has 95 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: to come back. Julio Jones partially torn pcl we're just 96 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: hearing about that. Uh you you you don't want to 97 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: hear that. You know, obviously when they need to be 98 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: healthy is December. But I mean we're we're three games 99 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: in and then they're having they've all dropped. The best 100 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: ability is availability, and right now they do not have that. Richard. 101 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Going into this weekend, the Vegas oddline for broken tablets 102 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,119 Speaker 1: in this game was over over under one and a half. Um. 103 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: I didn't see Brady throwing any on the sideline, But 104 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: I did hear there was a league wide memo sent 105 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: out to stop breaking tablets. Is this the weirdest thing 106 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: you've heard in a while, or is that just part 107 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: for the course with the NFL. That's part for the course. 108 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: But I don't think that's something Tom's thinking about in 109 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: the game. If he got piste on, wanted to break 110 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: a tablet, hes gonna break a tablet. But I think 111 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: he just wanted to show um more confidence, more poise, 112 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: more leadership, and that matters, you know, especially when you've 113 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: got a bunch of young receivers out there. They see 114 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: you throwing a fit and and piste off, and you 115 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: know they kind of pushed put their head to the ground. 116 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: And instead he was out there trying to encourage his guys, 117 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, looking him and now like, hey, I know 118 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: you made a mistake, but you got this. And I 119 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: think that meant a lot more to those guys than 120 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: watching him break a tablet. You know, it's for with 121 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: better receivers you can do that. They know, hey, I 122 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: gotta play better, I gotta do better. I got make 123 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: those plays. But were young guys that could crush him, 124 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: and he understood that and and and changed it. This week, Richard, 125 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: moving on, we saw a big upset and indeed today 126 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: big colossal, colossal upset in Indye. Did you see this comment? 127 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: Are you surprised at all? Now, I'm gonna let you 128 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: know something there. And if somebody said they taught his 129 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: coming and they're outside of Indianapolis their line, even inside 130 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: of Indianapolis their line. That was a great game and 131 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: it was a great game plan, using Gilmore um on 132 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey a lot of those plays and finding him 133 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: ways to Gus Bradley, finding ways to get him involved. 134 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: He's still a top tier corner. You just gotta put 135 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: him in matchups. He's so used to man to man, 136 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: they've used him on Travis Kelsey in critical situations. He 137 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: was able to make those plays. And there was you 138 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: saw there was there was some confusion, you know, I 139 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: don't want to say there was a disagreement, but Mahomes 140 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: at the half wanted to go for points. The enemy 141 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: wanted to get to the locker room. Hey, I hear you, 142 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: but you gotta They always told me you gotta listen 143 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: to the court there, and you don't. You're not the 144 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: coach and so I'm sure they'll have a discussion. I'm 145 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: sure next time the enemy will give them the ball 146 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: and let him let him go for it. But in 147 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: that situation, it's not like they were scoring a ton 148 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: of points. Avoid the turnover, unnecessary turnover or something like 149 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: that before the half. Cool, But later on in the 150 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: game it came back to buy them. They needed to 151 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: feel gold. They couldn't get it. Their special teams let 152 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: them down, fake field, Gold botched it. Come on, match, 153 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: you can't have those plays like and those are desperation 154 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: plays for for a team that's so creative offensively, so 155 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: amazing and so innovative. Sometimes you just a team has 156 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: your number for the night. And that's what it looked like. 157 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a pedestrian game for him Rich. 158 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: They did not look themselves at all. Every time you though, 159 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: hey they're gonna score here, they're gonna get it done here, 160 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,679 Speaker 1: and then making mistakes and mental mistakes Chris Jones getting 161 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: flagged for saying god knows what at the end of 162 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: the game. But those are mistakes that championship teams do 163 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: not make. Those are mistakes that teams that are allergic 164 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: to winning make, and you know, rich that's not something 165 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: we've become accustomed to seeing with the Chiefs. So, I mean, 166 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: it's the opposite of what we saw last week from 167 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: their game against the Chargers. When they needed big plays, 168 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: they got him. When they the other team made mistakes, 169 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: they capitalized on him. And it was the opposite this week. 170 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Chris Jones doesn't make that mistake very often, 171 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: and you know, he has a track record of being 172 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: very poised and very to the point. And I don't 173 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: know what he's said, but I'm sure he regrets saying 174 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: it now because it costs his team. You know, his 175 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: team was off the field. That's a game chain to play. 176 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: The coach will go down and score, Richard. Both teams 177 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: coming off big losses, bucks In the Chiefs play each 178 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: other next Sunday on Sunday Night Football. I mean, talk 179 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: about another great game, but this is a get back 180 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: game for both guys. Who do you think will have 181 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: the upper hand going into Sunday Night. It really depends 182 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: on the health of those receivers that we've been talking about, 183 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: and those receivers got to get healthy. If they're not healthy, 184 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: then the it obviously goes to the Chiefs. The Chiefs 185 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: are are better equipped to beat the Bucks than even 186 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: the Packers were. You know, the Packers got a rod, 187 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: but you know their weapons aren't as as crazy as 188 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: the chief They don't have Travis Kelsey, they don' have 189 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: proven all pro on the offensive side. They don't know. 190 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: You know, they got a rod, and a rod can 191 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: make anything shake. But I think with Andy Reid play calling, 192 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: I think they would have that advantage unless Mike Evans 193 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: is healthy and Chris Godwin is healthy and Julio Jones, 194 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: and I'd give it to the Bucks. Richard, another huge 195 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: in division game surprise that Dolphins are for real. Um 196 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: Miami at home the nineteen over the Bills. We saw 197 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: him try to lose it with a nice butt punt 198 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: whatever they're termainant now move over, Mark Sanchez, move in. 199 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: Whoever this punter is that decides to bank it off 200 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: of his own player, right, but God bless him, they 201 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: pulled off the win. I mean, is this catapult Miami 202 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: into Richard Sherman's top three power rankings? Potentially? Question it does? Mitchell, 203 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: Mitchell we're talking about. I did not think they could 204 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: do it. Now. They were on Josh Allen early on 205 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: they forced to turn over. They they were They made 206 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: him uncomfortable, made him move around the pocket. You're like, 207 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, Miami has a good plan. Josh Allen 208 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: figured that part out. Okay, moving on, We're gonna figure 209 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: this out, Buffalo. Josh Allen throws for four hundred and 210 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: you lose. But you knew it was gonna be tough 211 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 1: this game. You lose Mica High, you lose most of 212 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: your secondary. They just weren't healthy enough. You know, they 213 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: weren't healthy enough going into this game. Um, Jordan Poyer. 214 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: They got banged up at the wrong time. And then 215 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: you got Cheetah and wat Jalen Waddle and you you're 216 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: sitting there like you just know at one point or another, 217 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: that's what makes him so dangerous to it. Didn't throw 218 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: for four sixty nine again, but he threw big plays, 219 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: big yardage, explosive when they needed him in the fourth 220 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: quarter again, they walked the ball down the field, huge, explosive. 221 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: Place too. Got knocked out of the game, and and 222 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, his back was tight. We hadn't 223 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: heard of it back tightening up at all. We hadn't 224 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: heard of this back injury at all. It wasn't in 225 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: the report, but went and when his head hit that 226 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: turb it was his back. And I don't know who's 227 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: telling the truth. I just know that's different than what 228 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: was on the initial reports Richard that it didn't look 229 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: like a back injury to me either. I mean, and 230 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: and now there's Uh, the Dolphins are under the spotlight 231 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: for the way they handle that situation, but more to 232 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: come there. What's amazing to me, though, rich And this 233 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: is actually a pretty crazy Statuh, the Bills since last 234 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: season are o and six and single possession games. First 235 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: and foremost, that's insane that all their wins are by 236 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: more than one possession. But second off, is that a 237 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: concern when the Bills are in close games that they 238 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: just can't seem to pull it out? Mitchell, you know 239 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 1: what's a concern. That's a concern, sure, But I think 240 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: Josh Allen will figure that out and he's gonna be 241 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: a problem down to stretch for a lot of teams. 242 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: A problem to me is sixty three attempts career career high, 243 00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: franchise record, forty two completions career high. You can't blaming 244 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: team lost three fumbles, kicker went one for two. You 245 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: lost by two. Crazy, Mitchell, This is a staggering stat 246 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: This should stagger you. They were in fifty one more plays, Mitchell, 247 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: you run fifty one more that's a whole another game, 248 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: the another team. You were in a whole another game, 249 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: then the other team, and you lost. That is disheartening. 250 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: I can't wait for Buffalo Miami number two. But that one, 251 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: playing at home, Miami showed, hey, we're the real deal. 252 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: We said they were gonna put him in the sunny 253 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: side of the field, and it was hot, it was 254 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: too hot, and Buffalo ran way more plays. You would 255 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: think that Miami's defense would get tired and and and 256 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: they did not. Miami runs a lot of man coverage. 257 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: They found a way. Richard, I you have experienced with 258 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: coach Mike McDaniel, the coach of the year potentially here 259 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: on the horizon. Easy easy, mental, easy, easy, though, rich 260 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: I know the pedigree. I know the pedigree. But we're 261 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: we're a little early and and and the guy in 262 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: Philadelphia is gonna have something to say about that as well. 263 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a couple of guys gonna be 264 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: in that conversation. But early on, he's definitely in that conversation. 265 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: But it's a long season, as we know, just like 266 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: those ball games, they're a long ball game. If you 267 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: judge them off the first quarter, you'll be a lot 268 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: of different outcomes today than what the real outcome was. 269 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: And I think that we just gotta continue to monitor 270 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: that situation. But they're definitely moving up in my power rankings. 271 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: They showed there for real. Buffalo has been outstanding, but 272 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: those injuries in the second are are way bigger than 273 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: people are are. Everybody's always offense, offense, offense, but you 274 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: just lost two of the best safeties international Football League 275 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: on one of the best defenses. They're not giving those 276 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: two Pro Bowl safeties, one of them was on All 277 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: Pro at times, like you're not just walking away and saying, 278 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: oh yeah, we'll be all right. We're gonna put some 279 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: young guys in and you know there are places you 280 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: can you can kind of weather the storm. Safety isn't 281 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: one of them. That is a brutal blow. Michael Hides 282 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: a hell of a player, and like you said, Jordan 283 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: players struggling as well. Richard. You mentioned the Eagles, and 284 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: I know that the NFC East was your dumpster fire 285 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: walking into the season, and and it appeared that way, 286 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, until the ball was snapped in Week one 287 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: in ford Field and the Eagles were running the ball 288 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: all over the field. I know you don't want to 289 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: do it. I don't know why, but I know you don't. 290 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: But how high up in your ranks are the Eagles 291 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna go? They're gonna get higher than I thought they 292 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: would get. Uh, you know, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna, 293 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, pull back the curtain right now and let 294 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: people know. But they're gonna move up. They're gonna they're 295 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: gonna move into my top five, no question. Um. They 296 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: had a venderna against Carston Wins. I don't know what 297 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: he said leave in Philadelphia to piss them boys off, 298 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: but everybody wanted a piece of them, and everybody got 299 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: a piece. Mitchell seventeen quarterback hits nine sex. Mitch nine 300 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: sex does not happen very often to any team. And 301 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders have not given up nine tacks in 302 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: the game. They haven't just been letting him get hit 303 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: that way. He's been playing pretty decent football. Philadelphia said 304 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: that's enough. You know. Fletcher Cox hard graves them boys 305 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: was at his neck. And then you got Jalen Hurts 306 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: played his game, played his game. He moved the ball 307 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: down the field, he was accurate, he ran it. He's 308 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: just dynamic. He's really dynamic. He was he through for 309 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: three forty three touchdowns. Like you gotta give him credit 310 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: where credits due. He's playing good football. You talk about 311 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: who's early season m VP, He's dark horse. He's dark 312 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: horse for sure. He's putting himself and through his hat 313 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: in the ring out of nowhere. Um. Obviously, Lamar has wanted. 314 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: Lamar has the pedigree, and he's playing outstanding football week 315 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: after week after week. But so is Jalen hurt That 316 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: boy said, hey, y'all talking about m v P, and 317 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: y'all ain't mentioning me. Problem, Well, Richard, they're gonna start 318 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: mentioning him a lot. And the thing with the Eagles 319 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: is every layer of that offense. They got a good 320 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: running game, they got explosive receiver. We saw DeVante Smith 321 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: go off and do his Heisman Trophy esque things today. 322 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: And then as we talked about it, defensively, now the 323 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: defensive lines starting to show up. But on the outside 324 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: quarterback positions, our boy big place slaves shutting guys down. 325 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: I mean, day in, day out, shutting guys down. You 326 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: got him and Bradberry the Eagles. They might just do 327 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: it this year. Rich They have a legitimate shot at 328 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: coming out of the NFC if they play this way. Well, 329 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: all I know is big place Slave better get some 330 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: consideration for his first team All Pro. I know it's 331 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: a long season. Keep watching him. It's only the beginning. 332 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: He's following guys, he's knocking him up, He's playing well. 333 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: He's over thirty. Don't don't hold that against him. He 334 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: should be on the first team All Pro seeds this year. 335 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: I'm calling it early, very early, still the first quarter 336 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: to season. But this is who he is. This isn't like, 337 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: oh man, he's playing out his mind this year. Are like, man, 338 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: look at him, like he's never played like this. He's 339 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: always played like this. This is how he played. People 340 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: are just finally noticing because his team is matching his production. 341 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: So now he's on a three and old team playing 342 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: lockdown defense, and people are like, man, Darius slays a 343 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,719 Speaker 1: heck of He's been a heck of a player. Jafonte 344 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: Smith having a breakout game after all day A. J. 345 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: Brown has been the focal point. Is huge for his team, 346 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: Like they've been waiting for him to have the game 347 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: where he just says, hey, I'm here to stay. I'm 348 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: here too, And this was the game he went off. 349 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: He looked aggressive, he looked explosive. Man, they're gonna be 350 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 1: tough to deal with. Skinny Batman is Slay calls him 351 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: a batman. The Baltimore Ravens gave it to the Patriots. 352 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: Patriots try to hang in there. You know you looked 353 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: at you wanted that Max Jones doing the gritty and 354 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: the end zone, whatever the heck you want to call that. 355 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: But Lamar Jackson continues to do Lamar things. He's back 356 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: into what appears to be that m v P form. 357 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: What do you think Lamar right now? Rich He beat 358 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: on himself and it looks like he's winning mental he winning, 359 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be expensive. Oh, it's gonna be expensive. 360 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: I don't to be Baltimore. It's gonna be too expensive 361 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: to be in Baltimore. And they're gonna have to pull 362 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: every They're gonna have to pull from everybody. They're gonna 363 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,239 Speaker 1: be calling the President, the Reserve, They're gonna back up 364 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: the Brinks truck and their cousin truck like they're gonna 365 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: need to pay. But Lamar is doing what Lamar has 366 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: done for that franchise, and it's just unfortunate that he's 367 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: not hasn't been rewarded for yet. But I can harp 368 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: on that day in and day out. I'm not going 369 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: to They won the game like they're supposed to. Their 370 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: defense decided to show up, forced mac Jones into some 371 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: certain overs. Concerned there mac Jones limping off the field 372 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: and needed help into the locker room. But what about 373 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: what happened in Jacksonville? The Chargers? Oh, I wanted to 374 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: believe mitchell I had them early season favorite Herbert m 375 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: v P. Like I was believed. I'm drinking the kool 376 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: Aid by the gallon, Like, what are we doing, Richard? 377 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: You were drinking so much cool aid? You gave me 378 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: some of it? Man, I was drinking the kool aid 379 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: with you, and then you watch today's game. I did. 380 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: Shoot watched last week's game, right, it all started there 381 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: a Sante Samuel dropped two sure picks and the Chiefs 382 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: take advantage and win the game. And that was a game. 383 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: We discussed the Chargers should have won. Now here we are. 384 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: This is a massive letdown at home, getting ran out 385 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: of the building. I mean, the Jakes looked like they 386 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: were one of the top teams in the league out 387 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: there today. If you would have just wiped the name 388 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: Jaguars off their helmet and put just a blank uniform 389 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: on him, you would have thought they were who Richard, 390 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You certainly would not have thought 391 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: they were the Jacksonville Jaguars. And it's a problem when 392 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: you're making the Jags look good. But but credit to 393 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: the Jacks, credit to Doug Peterson. It's crazy what real 394 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: NFL coaching will do for you. This It's not urban mind, 395 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: it ain't color comedy. You didn't like rban meyerlia. I 396 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: just think there's a difference between county in the league. 397 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: You can't kick kickers and think it's sweet. He's grown men, 398 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson knows how to coach. It's a reason 399 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: he has a Super Bowl under his belt and those 400 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: boys are playing for him. I mean, you just look 401 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: at the quarterback. Trevor Lawrence looks like an entirely different quarterback. Hey, look, 402 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: look what happens when you play twin strikes, rolling them 403 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: out of the pocket. Give him easy looks, scheme, scheme 404 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: him up some open receivers. Man, he looks good. He 405 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: looks good. He's he still looks like he's young. He 406 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: makes some mistakes, but I mean, what what what do 407 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: you do today? What did you do? Sixty two three touchdowns, 408 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: no interception. That's a whole different kid right there. I mean, 409 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: we got he's he's moving the ball, he's confident. That 410 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: defense force and turnovers, that foot and the defense that 411 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: he was going against. Weren't these slouches. Like again, the 412 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: same guys we were talking about earlier. There's Mac, there's Bolsa, 413 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: there's Derwin James, j C. Jackson didn't play for Sante. 414 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: Samuel Jr. Short did Like they have playmakers on the 415 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: deepensive side, and that's what's disappointing. They gave up thirty 416 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: eight points and then on the other side, you're getting 417 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: more banged up by the day. You can't have these 418 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: losses in this division you're playing in, in these injuries. 419 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean, Herbert came into the game with with leach damage. 420 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: Then you lose Slater, one of the top tackles in 421 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: in National Football League Keenan Allen was already out. J C. 422 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: Jackson's already down, Like it's starting to become really concerning 423 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: because it's get bank. Oh my goodness, Like if you're 424 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, you're sitting there like, man, WTF can we 425 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: just get to the bye week at this point? Because 426 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers look like a completely different team. Rich and 427 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: the Jaguars two and one. They got a great run game. Um, 428 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: they have weapons offensive least A Jones and Christian Kirk 429 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: are actually surprising in that offense. Are the Jaguars someone 430 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: to you know, be on be on a loert of 431 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now? Or is this just a 432 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: phantom game again? Matche Pump, I'm a again. Now. You 433 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: give them credit, You give them, You give Dug Peters 434 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: in the credit that what they were putting on tape 435 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: last year versus what they're putting on tape right now. 436 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: They look aggressive, they look confident, they look really good. 437 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: So you gotta give them credit. But I'm not. You know, 438 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: keep showing me, you know consistency. You know, anybody can 439 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: do it once, anybody can do it twice. I need 440 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: to see you do it for a season. And that's 441 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,959 Speaker 1: what's happening to your Detroit Lions? Man? They are battling Mitchell. 442 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: They are bad playing. Richard. We were texting during the 443 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: first slide of games and I told you Detroit might 444 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: have a squad this year. They looked they were up 445 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: fourteen nothing. I was like, holy cow, the Detroit Dan 446 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: Campbell's are gonna be, you know, squeaking into the playoffs 447 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: here and and you set up I can't believe I'm 448 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: saying this, but I actually kind of believe in Jared 449 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: Goff right now. And then the Lions did what they did. 450 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: And I don't want to say same old lines, Richard, 451 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm not It's just what do you all right, Let's 452 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: let's go to the coaching decision at the end of 453 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: the game. Dan Campbell decides with under a minute left 454 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: in the game to to kick a fifty plus yard 455 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: field goal, and they mess with the coach that Dan 456 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: Campbell is. He's trying to preach put your foot on 457 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: your opponent's neck, right, dragged them out to the abyss 458 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: and drown them. He didn't coach like that at the 459 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: end of the game. To me, I thought he would 460 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 1: go for it. Either go for it or pain him 461 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: at the one yard line. You got one of the 462 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: best punters in the NFL. You do that. I mean, 463 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: what what are your thoughts on that coaching decision at 464 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: the game, at the end of game, what does coach 465 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: Sherman do mentor you gotta punt it, you gotta put 466 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: it and trust your defense. Your defense have been playing well, 467 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: but obviously you know in the fourth quarter everything you 468 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: know recency Bias during the fourth quarter in Minnesota had 469 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: been moving the ball. Kirk looked good, he was starting 470 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: to heat up. So recently Bias tells you, I need 471 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: to get points now, and I need to get him 472 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: what I can. And that's the conservative call, as you're saying. 473 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: But if he makes the kick, everybody's like, look at him, 474 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: great call. Trust your kicker. Way to be believing your team. 475 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: But he didn't. But he's living in and his learning. 476 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: I am very impressed still by what I'm seeing from 477 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: that offense. Um, I'm on ross st. Brown is still 478 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: showing up weekend and week out, looking like a very 479 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: special player and looking like somebody Detroit is gonna have 480 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: to invest in later on. Defensively, they're still showing up. 481 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: But these late game game collapses are something they're gonna 482 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: have to address. You know, they have to find a 483 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: way to get stopped. We're talking about Cleveland Browns doing 484 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: that against Pittsburgh and they were able to get stops 485 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: at the end. That's what they're gonna have to do. 486 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: Like you go from like hey, the hard knocks feel 487 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: good story to hey, people, people see you as a 488 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: as a competitive team down convince people you're a really 489 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: good team by winning those ball games that everybody's feeling 490 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: good that you're an INN. And they have an easy 491 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: schedule coming up there at home against Seattle next week. 492 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna have opportunities to win some games. 493 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: But another big storyline in this game was justin Jefferson. 494 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: You know, the second week in a row, he he 495 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: goes out there and was pretty much wasn't wasn't there, 496 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: wasn't himself. I mean, is this jeff Akuta. Is Jeffrey 497 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: Akuta actually you know, resurrecting his career And he's definitely 498 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: resurrecting his career right now. Jeffrey Okuda is having a 499 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: bounce back year. Is he showing everything he did needed 500 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: to be the number three pick? I don't know, but 501 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 1: is he showing that, Hey, he deserved to be a 502 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: top a first round pick and a big time player 503 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: and it's not gonna go down as a bust. If 504 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: he continues to play like this, he's gonna be a 505 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: very solid and maybe really good cornerback in his national 506 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: football league. And for him to go toe to toe 507 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: with jeff Jefferson and holding the three catches in fourteen 508 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: yards says a lot, you know, Jeffer, Justin Jefferson started 509 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: the season by going one eighty on Green Day Packers, 510 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: and so it is something to be said. And the 511 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: only other person to shut him out like that was 512 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: a boy big play, big play, the first team All 513 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: Pro big play. Yeah, he about could be the first 514 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: team All PA Pro big play. But I don't know 515 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: about the Detroit schedule being easy because that Atlanta Seattle 516 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: game went down to the watch. You know, he's playing well. 517 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: They're starting to get a d K involved a lot 518 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: more Tyreek Wooling looking like a steal in the draft. Richard. 519 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: I said that just to try to spark a fire man. 520 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: Justin ty R here and your boy Kenneth Walker Jr. 521 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: Got a few carries, look dynamic. He is dynamic, dynamic. 522 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: We we talked about this last year. He is dynamic. 523 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna be the second coming of Beast Mode in Seattle. 524 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna be fired up. They couldn't pull it off, though, Rich. 525 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: If we're gonna we're gonna go out to the NFC West, 526 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: let's go all the way out to the NFC West. Rams, Cardinals, Seahawks. 527 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: All three teams. I mean, the Rams fine, but the 528 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: Cardinals in the Seahawks. The Cardinals might be the worst 529 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: team in the NFL right now, Rich, just from a 530 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: common lay person watching them play football, they're not fun 531 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: to watch and guess and guess what it guess. That's 532 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: hard to say because there's only one one three team 533 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: in the National Football like right league right now, and 534 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: they're in your old home, Las Vegas. And that's tough 535 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: because they invested a lot of a lot of people. 536 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: Looking at Josh mcdarian was like, now, wait a minute, 537 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: this Belichick tree looking like it always has. Unfortunately it 538 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: looks good in New England. You put it somewhere else, 539 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: it does not look the same. Devonte I is still 540 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: Davonte Adams getting open making plays, But for some reason, 541 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: Derek Carson spreading the ball like he used to the 542 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: concept that you're used to seeing getting wide open creative 543 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: looks aren't what they used to be. Defensively, they're not 544 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: stopping a soul. So I don't know what they're doing defensively, 545 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: and and schematically a lot of things to clean up. 546 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: I need to look at the all twenty two. But Kyler, 547 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: that's his one win, and so he threw for Kylie 548 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: threw for what three or fourteen today, Like he's getting 549 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: his yardage, but it's a lot of times his garbage yards. 550 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: They're down multiple touchdown, double digits, and he's he's getting 551 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: the ball down the field, but score points, right, those 552 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: stats mean nothing to me because it's it reminds me 553 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: like being Allions fan and always them being behind. Matthew 554 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: Stafford had, you know these killer three D three fifty 555 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: four hundred yard games where the Lions just inevitably lose. 556 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: They're down, you know, multiple scores. You're seeing that same 557 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: kind of thing with the Cardinals. Cardinals got off to 558 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: an incredibly hot start last year where that team in 559 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: the league, that hot team, and then all of a 560 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: sudden call of duty came out and Tyler Murray was 561 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: no longer to be seen anywhere. And it's like the 562 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: same regression that we saw at the tail of the 563 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: last year has continued into this year. You know. I 564 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: mean the offense is not dynamic. The defense is trying 565 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: to keep them in games, but it's just they're hard 566 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: to watch. Rich If I'm wrong, you're You're not wrong, 567 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: and I'm sure people are questioning. Cliff Kingsbury just got 568 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 1: an extension, so he has nothing to worry about. He's 569 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: not gonna be in anybody's hot seat. And it's concerning 570 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: because the second half of the season. For the last 571 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: two or three years have they've been under five hundred 572 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: for the second half of the season. And that's concerning 573 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: because they're not starting to season as hot as they 574 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: usually did. I mean that one year they started off 575 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: eight note and then barely stuck into the playoffs and 576 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: then you know, we're one of your what one round 577 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: and out? And that's where you're concerned because if they're 578 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: struggling this early end of season, they're not gonna get better. 579 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they're still waiting for J. J. Watt to 580 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: come back. Uh, it's gonna be interesting down the stretch 581 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: because that NFC West is. You know, if if San 582 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: Francisco wins tonight in the Rams just one, then it 583 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: starts to kind of get away from you quick. Tonight's 584 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: game is gonna be big. It's gonna be big for 585 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: the NFC West because, like you say, if the Niners 586 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: can win a tough game and mile high and get 587 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: that second one of the season, you know the Cardinals 588 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: are gonna be playing catch up the rest of the year. 589 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: But but it's also a big game for Denver because 590 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a f C West is not 591 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: is way more wide open than it once was. You know, 592 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: they're one in one right now they win this game, 593 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: they're they're what two on one, tied for first in 594 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: the a f C West with only three Raiders and 595 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: and one in two Chargers beat up and hurt like, 596 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: it starts to look a lot different, it totally does. Absolutely, 597 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: this is a huge game for the Broncos Tonight, Richard, 598 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be one that is going 599 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: to define their season. Personally, I think we thought this 600 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: a f C West and it probably still is was 601 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: an absolute juggernaut of a division. It's looking to be 602 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: a lot more obtainable for any team to win it, 603 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: win it, especially with the Chiefs going out and losing 604 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: to the Cult today. But you gotta win these home games, 605 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: primetime games. It's gonna be a tough one though, So 606 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't know your thoughts. I mean, that's what you 607 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: get a prediction, even though this will likely air towards 608 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: the end of that game. That's why you don't get 609 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: your well, you don't do gimmes in this National Football 610 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: League because before the season you saw he charges at Jacksonville. 611 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: All right, that's the win, that's the win. That's when no, 612 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: it's not. And they got they got beat by twenty eight, 613 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: and then you're like Chiefs that coats, that's probably easy 614 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: win the Chiefs of champions ya ya yata. Nope. Even 615 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: beginning the season you're like, oh Chiefs, oh man, the 616 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: coats the coach. Last week you watch that game, You're like, Okay, 617 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs gotta win here. Now what they're gonna do? Nope? Lost. 618 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: That's the league is not predictable. That's why people love 619 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: watching National Football League because there's parody. Any given Sunday, 620 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: it can go down. Your team can go down heavy favorites. 621 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: That's why Vegas don't do twenty thirty point favorites in 622 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: National Football League. It's a one and a half favorite tonight, Like, 623 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 1: because anything can happen. Vegas don't want to lose their 624 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: head by by saying, hey, it's the thirteen point favorite here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 625 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: because they do that sometimes and they get banged over 626 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: the head because people are like, I know, the National 627 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: Football League is crazy. Anything can happen, um tonight. It depends. 628 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: It's a it's a crazy game. It's the first game 629 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo and starting since the NFC Championship last year. 630 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure he feels better, you know, more confident. He 631 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahana talked they want to take more shots 632 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: down the field. Jimmy g is tied of here in 633 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: the rhetoric. Up, I don't take shots. I can't throw 634 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. He's like, when I first 635 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: got here, that's all I was doing and throwing the 636 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: ball down the field. And he's like, hey, I'm I 637 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: want to get back to that. But at the same time, 638 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: this defense has to show up. This defense is number 639 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: one in a lot of categories yards, first downs. Uh, 640 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: I think they're top five and turnovers their top three 641 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: in point and they have to show up tonight. Nick Bosa, 642 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: Eric Harmstead is out. He's out for this game. So 643 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: you need Fred Warner to step up. You need Javon 644 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: Kinlaw to step up. You need the secondary. It's our 645 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: various ward emen to step up. Tyler Noah, who Fanga is? 646 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: They're looking like a pro. He has to continue it 647 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: and then you weather the storm until my boy Jimmy 648 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: Ward comes back. But you know who needs to put 649 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: a stamp on this game. I gotta know rich who? 650 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: But my boy changed snatching Deebo and Brandon are you? 651 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: Are you looking like I need that? Richard debo is 652 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: gonna debo. I think with Garoppolo being back at the Helm, 653 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see more natural debos Deebo, Samuel 654 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: out there, and I'd love to see it. I love 655 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: to see it. You're gonna see it, and you're gonna 656 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: see the run game. Wake up. You're gonna see a 657 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: lot more checks at the line of scrimments because Kyle 658 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: is going to give him that because he knows, Hey, 659 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: I've I've had this guy in tough situations, big time 660 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: ball game. He's able to handle that much on his plate. 661 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: He's not a rookie, so it just changes the way 662 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: he calls it. Richard, how much pressure I mean? I 663 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: don't want to look at the trade lance injury as 664 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: a blessing by any means, But how much pressure does 665 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: this take off of Kyle Shanahan knowing that he can 666 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: just slot in Jimmy G and let him have the 667 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: keys to the car for the rest of the season. Oh, 668 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure it takes a lot more relief. You know. 669 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: He slept a lot easier at night knowing that he 670 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: didn't have to play purty the rest of the year 671 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: and worry about all the people. The naysay are saying, Hey, 672 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: you should have kept Jimmy G. You should have kept 673 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: Jimmy G. He kept Jimmy G and Hurt took it 674 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: in the front end. Hey, I'm gonna take the criticism 675 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: in the front end. Hey, you guys hated YadA, YadA, YadA. 676 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: Now he looks like a genius and people are like, 677 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: did he know something? No, he didn't know nothing. You 678 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: it's he knows football injury rate for players, and he 679 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: knows this is a scrambling running quarterback that anything can happen, 680 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: and he put himself in a position to say, hey, 681 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep our team in the best position no 682 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: matter what happens. We're not out of this thing, because 683 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: every team is one quarterback injury away from saying, hey 684 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: get him next year. Rich Before we signed off, I 685 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: want to backtrack to Thursday. You were on Amazon Prime 686 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. It was an interesting game, you know, 687 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: I saw some big plays. Finally started throwing the ball 688 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: downfield with Mitch Trobinsky, but it was another underwhelming performance 689 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: overall by Trabinsky. At what point do you think the 690 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: Steelers and Mike Tomlin are gonna make a change and 691 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: go with the new kid. It doesn't sound like anytime soon, 692 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: it understand anytime soon. And that's unfortunate because if you're 693 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: in that locker room and you're saying that like you 694 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: don't know if the rookie is better, you know it's 695 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: that's the thing, you don't know if the rookie is better. 696 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: You can go get out there with the rookie and 697 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: you throw four interceptions in the first game and you're like, 698 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: why did we do this? But you do know who 699 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: Mr Robinsky is, And even even at its best at 700 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: the in the second half of that game. He made 701 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: some amazing throws in the fourth quarter, like moving the 702 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: ball down the field the thread in the needle, like, 703 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: good job, heck of a job. But at the end 704 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: of the day, through for a little over two hundred 705 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: yards and you have some big time playmakers out there 706 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: who could really push the ball down the field. You 707 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: just saw George Pickens. He targeted in one one time 708 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: on a deep route and on the catchable ball, and 709 00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: the kid made a heck of a play for him. 710 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: And it's like they've run him on sixty two routes, 711 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: majority of them are clear outs, and and he's not 712 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: involved in the play. Hey, I'm just running to go 713 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: route our post to just get somebody else open. And 714 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, the first time you run it and 715 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: actually tossing the rock, lo and behold the kid can 716 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: play like you gotta keep giving guy shots. You can't 717 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: play so safe with the football. And that's where it's concerning, 718 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: because a young kid doesn't know any better. So he 719 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: may get bit and and and be like, hey, well 720 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: you you're learning the hard way, but this way you're playing, 721 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: they're playing. It's hard to give him a chance to 722 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: win a lot of these ball games. When you get 723 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 1: in there with with Baltimore and Lamar Jackson and score 724 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: starts getting getting away from you, you have to start 725 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: getting aggressive, and it's just hard for them to do 726 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: that right now. Well that's just it, rich This this 727 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh team and the culture within that in the organization 728 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: is a winning one, right and it's probably got to 729 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: feel a little unnatural when you're losing to a division 730 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: rival that's supposed to have a down year this year. 731 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: In the Browns and the game, you know, while it 732 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: was close for a minute, it really wasn't at the end, 733 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, the Browns looked like the better 734 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: team and and that's gotta be a little bit of 735 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: worry to the fans in Pittsburgh. Well, Richard, this this 736 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: wraps up our Week three podcast. I know you want 737 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: to get to watching your forty Niners take on the Broncos, 738 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: So um, I will let you sign us off. Yeah, 739 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: I gotta look forward to it. The concerning thing for them, 740 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: Jacobe Brissette looked better than their guy and ye man, 741 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: and Jacoby Brissette is not going to be the starter 742 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 1: when when the Browns if they go to the playoffs 743 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 1: or later in the season, Deshaun Watson is gonna be 744 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: And you gotta think that teams like Pittsburgh regret just 745 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: passing up on a guy like that. He looks like 746 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 1: a great leader, great locker room guy, and a guy 747 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: who has a ton of respect in command of this 748 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: Brown's offense. And it's a positive story that we love 749 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: to see.
