17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast, sponsor of course, by Mr

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Flames Economics Class in the Hague, the Netherlands. For all

00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: your economics class needs, go to flame class dot com.

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: That's f l A. I m uh, that's good. I'm

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: looking forward to our sales team, uh becoming aware of

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: this we we did. Mr Flame is not aware that

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: we baked in several escape clauses into our contract. Um,

24
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: so that would be a good little economics lesson for

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: him down the line to import a part upon his students.

26
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Today's show, however, breaks down all the action in the

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: in week four Sunday uh from the London game at

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium all the way through Sunday night football in

29
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: rainy Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on a day where uh, yes, and

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the first game we talked about where

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: a name that we've known very well for many years

32
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: surge to the quarter pole m v p uh first ranking. Greg,

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: don't go, don't make a face like, what are you

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: talking about? Yeah, what is the reference? I'll tell you

35
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: who it is. You say who it is? Ry That Ryan? Baby,

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's leading the league in every category, even sacks

37
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: total blocks. To be fair to Greg, he's the guy

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: that for months have been has been calling the the

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: NFC South the most exciting division football and propping up

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: the Falcons. So how does he not know that Matt

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: Ryan was question come back to us, Gregg, that's all

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: plugged in. You're talking about Aaron Donald someone on those

43
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: fiery Rams. We'll talk about the Fiery Rams to a

44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: lot of great football to talk about. In fact, we

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: have so much football to talk about. Let's get right

46
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: into it. And again, right now we're on periscope, people

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: watching live. Thank you uh for plugging in. We appreciate you.

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: I'm using hand gestures that communicate in the visual medium. Anyway,

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: let's do some talk about football, and let's start, yes

50
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: with the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan greg was not aware

51
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: of until just now. I'm aware of him. I'm aware of.

52
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons and Julio Jones became the first quarterback receiver

53
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: tandem of the Super Bowl era. That's fifty years, folks,

54
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: to combine for at least five hundred passing yards and

55
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: three hundred receiving yards marone. And when that happens, you

56
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: win football games. Atlanta Falcons blew away the Carolina Panthers

57
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: forty eight to thirty three. Chris Westling, what did you

58
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: see in Atlanta? Is something special cooking down there? And

59
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: nobody saw it coming. Well, we said all along, this

60
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: offense has been right there with any offense in the NFL,

61
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: but they played three week teams to start, so they

62
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: faced a Panthers defense that was ranked sixth in Football

63
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: Outsiders metrics heading into this game. Julio Jones had his

64
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: way with Ben A, Ben Wickery, James Bradberry, Darryl Worley,

65
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: whoever they put on. Julio Jones, he had his way

66
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: with him. And then Matt Ryan would Nixon, a little

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, a little Aldrich Robinson, a little Taylor Gabriel

68
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: spread the ball around, Davante Freeman, running elusive as always.

69
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Peter Gabriel had a nice run. Peter Gabriel. Yeah, the light,

70
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: the heat in your eyes. Wow, very good, little Uncle

71
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Rock there. I love it. I love it. Say anything

72
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: with the boombox way earlier than I expected West to

73
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: sing in this program. But yes, this was a game

74
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: that saw Julio Jones go nuts. In fact, let's let's

75
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: get to find his final catch, the one that put

76
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: him to three hundred yards. And it's so funny. It's

77
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: coming after the most recent game where the big, the

78
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: big narrative came out of it was the Falcons have

79
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: all these weapons. Now you don't have to go to Julio.

80
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: But then they go to Julio like mad and good

81
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: things happen. Faking to give to Coleman. He's throwing it completely.

82
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Get to Julio Jones. Thirty five, forty fights, freight tifty

83
00:04:52,920 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: del right, sellon, he goes ted five touchs out, what

84
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: play seventy five? Have a roof is about to come

85
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: off the Georgia Dome. Bolio Jones three hundred yards at

86
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons records. What does this mean? Mark Sessler? I

87
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: think it means that Atlanta has to be taken seriously. Now.

88
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: We there is probably people to remember what they did

89
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: to open the season last year. You get out of

90
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: the gate big, the offense looks unstoppable, then the wheels

91
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: fall off. They still have issues on defense, there's no

92
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: question about it. But you have to look at what

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: they've done over the course of the last seven days

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: and say, Kyle Shanahan's second year in Atlanta has made

95
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: a difference. Matt Ryan is playing better than he ever

96
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: has before. You've got all sorts of weapons. Even you

97
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: look at Julio Jones big day, but it was just

98
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago against the Saints, where it

99
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: was everyone else on their offense who was exploding. So

100
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: it isn't a one man attack. And just look at

101
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: the drive chart. Four drives over ninety yards over the Panthers,

102
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: one drive of just seventy five yards one play, another

103
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: five play touchdown drive that takes under ninety five seconds.

104
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: This has been an explosively quick offense to watch Chris Wesley,

105
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: that's play calling and it's great distributing from the quarterback

106
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: who was using all of his weapons, and Matt Ryan's

107
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: vision and pocket movement have been tremendous issue and West

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: what is going on on the other side here the

109
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: Carolina Pathers. Of course, when fifteen and one last year

110
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: now one in three, what's wrong with the Panthers? This

111
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: score is incredibly misleading. By the time the fourth quarters started,

112
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Falcons had the edge four yards twenty three to six

113
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: and first downs and they're only touchdown was a pick six.

114
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: Cam Newton's offense was not moving the ball. They have

115
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: no rhythm in the running game. Cam Newton's lower body

116
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: mechanics which tend to go in and out, and he's

117
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: a streaky passer. He avoided that in the second half

118
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: of last year. They have been shaky this year so far.

119
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: He's been high on a lot of his passes. There's

120
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: just no rhythm right now in their office. And you're

121
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: you're leading receivers Fozzy Whittaker, Calvin Benjman with thirty nine

122
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: yards today they had I'm telling you, they had absolutely

123
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: no offense until Derrek Anderson came into this game. Well

124
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: there they are now two games back the Panthers in

125
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: this division and having already lost to the Falcons. This

126
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: is the race here for the nc NFC South. The

127
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Falcons at three and one, the bucks Um most likely

128
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: going to go to one in three Caroline, Panthers one

129
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: in three in the Saints at one of three. So

130
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: they're in a good position here. And it feels different

131
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: this year, doesn't it. It does, And yet I do

132
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: think this is a good example of how the team

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: makes such a difference and then the quarterback gets the

134
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: credit or doesn't. I don't know. I watched the first

135
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: three weeks at least, I haven't studied this one closely.

136
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't think Matt Ryan was playing any better than

137
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: he was in the previous couple of years. Really thought

138
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: he's been Matt Ryan. He's been solid. The team around

139
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: him is playing much much better. He's been a good

140
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: He's he hasn't been going deep too much until I

141
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: think he's been the best quarterback in the league. He

142
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: was killing them with turnovers last year. Was all I'm

143
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: saying is he is finding receivers quickly. The running game

144
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: has been great. The offensive line has been been great.

145
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: To me, he has been Matt Ryan all along, and

146
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: they're catching up to I agree with the sentiment that

147
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: his struggles were overrated the last year and we're mostly

148
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: attributable to his surrounding talent. But he's playing in the

149
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: position much better this year. I'll spell it out for

150
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: everybody before we move on. Matt Ryan and Greg's next

151
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: QB and dex. You know, number twenty three to number

152
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: number three last week. That's not my point. I just

153
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: think he's been He's been solid. It's been he dot

154
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of deep passes today. What Greg

155
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: is trying to say is that he's been in the

156
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: right place with Matt Ryan all along, while the rest

157
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: of us were wrong last year about him. Well, it

158
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: is a wildly sketchy conceit. Let's not move the goalposts here.

159
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: You were kind of off the bandwagon after last season.

160
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of time to talk about Matt Ryan

161
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: because it's one of the most exciting subplots in the league.

162
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: But we gotta keep moving now and move on to

163
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: our next game. We're gonna stay in the NFC and

164
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: talk about the Los Angeles Rams, who were the laughing

165
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: stock of the NFL when they got shut out in

166
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: Week one. But no one's laughing anymore, at least not

167
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: right now anyway. A game that was very close, late

168
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: in the worth quarter of the Arizona Cardinals at home,

169
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: nursing a three point lead case, Keenum leads his team

170
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: deep into Cardinals territory and then looks Brian Quick's way

171
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: in a big spot. Keenum too quick, the one we

172
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: always dream about, Keenum plopping his hands, calling for the shotguns,

173
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: stop flos quickly to the end zone. Quick goes up

174
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: in the air, took Brian to go ahead touchdown. That

175
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: was J. B. Long of ks W D ESPN with

176
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: thank you with I was a little surprised. I thought

177
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a little bit more there said all

178
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: I had. That was his whole call, and they just

179
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: shut off. The Game's so economical with his words that

180
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: it caught us off guard. They just cut straight to

181
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: commercial after that. Let they let the crowd noise tell

182
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: the story. Yes, With Carson Palmer in the locker room

183
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: for a concussion evaluation, Rams linebacker Mark Barron intercepted backup

184
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: quarterback Drew Stanton this coming after that touchdown to quick

185
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: ceiling a seventeen thirteen win. Four the Rams over the

186
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals West. The Rams are three and one and the

187
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals are one and three. What sorry, I wasn't ready

188
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: for that. The Cardinals are really slow out of gate

189
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: this year. All ten of their first quarter possessions have

190
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: resulted in punts. This game, I think you can say,

191
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: is just as at true. What is it attributable? Short

192
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: to the Rams front seven and errol. Aaron Donald best

193
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: player on the field today. Eight quarterback pressures, four quarterback

194
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: hits a second a half, including a high low hit

195
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: that he teamed with Eugene Simms to knock Palmer out

196
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: of the game. Aaron Donald is running stunts in this game,

197
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: coming off the edge. Now, how did you already you

198
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: account for him in the middle of the field, and

199
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: now he's coming out and beating your right tackle did

200
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: did that last week too, And it just continues a

201
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: story with this Cardinals offense. They had so many chances

202
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: to win this game in terms of possessions in the

203
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: second half where they had good field position, or they

204
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: or they drive past the fifth and you think, okay,

205
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: it's over. They're gonna finish off the Rams here, and

206
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: they didn't. So I don't want to hear anything about

207
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer's injury being a huge reason why they didn't

208
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: win this game. By that point of the game that

209
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: it should have been over. I mean that's five that's

210
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: five minutes left and they had failed over and over offensively.

211
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: This is supposed to be an offensively led team. They

212
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: had failed to put the game away and the Rams

213
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: made him pay. Yeah, I'm wondering how teams are gonna

214
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: start playing the Rams offense now. Todd Gurley is averaging

215
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: two point six three yards on the ground carry, and

216
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: there's every time you watch the Rams play offense, there's

217
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: a lot of holes that Case keenum Is is exploiting

218
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: in the passing game, including this, Brian Quick made a

219
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: couple of big plays against Marcus Cooper that cornerback spot

220
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: opposite Patrick Peterson continues to be an issue. But I

221
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: want to see if teams maybe start to give Case

222
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: Keenum a little bit of respect. I liked Case Keenum

223
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: in this game. He's not a great quarterback. West you

224
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: had a great tweet you said he was the younger

225
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: brother of Tony Romo and Ryan Fitzpatrick. In the backyard,

226
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: he's he's taking these shots. He's not afraid to dive,

227
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: he's getting all amped up. Not a not a talented

228
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: quarterback or a super talented quarterback, but he made plays

229
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: time and time again in this game. I mean, we

230
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: are Look, we talked about two teams now that are

231
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: combined two and six with concuss quarterbacks, and it's such

232
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: a difference from just a couple of months ago in January,

233
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: where we just probably would have assumed these two would

234
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: race right back to the playoffs. But you look at you.

235
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: We talked about the Cardinals last week going to Buffalo,

236
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: and we thought they know showed but they're gonna get

237
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: right back to good and I'm concerned. I think it's

238
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: fair to be concerned about the Cardinals on some level.

239
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the season is over anything like that.

240
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: Arians talked about a team that under his command is

241
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: one close games and they're not doing that this season.

242
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: But where's your level of concern, Chris? You talked about

243
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: this as a potential team of a t L. After

244
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: what you've seen today, this game reminded me more of

245
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: early last season when they didn't reach their potential against

246
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: teams like the Rams last year, same exact game, a

247
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: game that they outgained him by a ton and then

248
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: ended up losing. You could see some positive traits. They

249
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: got John Brown more involved, David Johnson still I think

250
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: the best running back in the league. Chris Johnson had

251
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: some big plays. Uh, there are some bright spots for

252
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: the offense, and it just to me the bigger concerned

253
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: is Carson Palmer's concussion and whether he's available by Thursday

254
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: against on the road, against a short week, which is

255
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, an incredibly important game for the

256
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals who are at one in three now. And you

257
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: know we talked about before this game. Uh, when they

258
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: said that check had rolled over and asked if they

259
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: cars with trouble, then I said, let's see what happens

260
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: in this game. Now they're one in three, their quarterbacks hurt,

261
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of good mojo around this team

262
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: right now, and now they've got a short week. They're

263
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: flirting with disaster here. Mark Sessler, Yeah, I mean, and

264
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: we'll get onto this too. But when you go into

265
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco, I'm not saying the forty niners are a

266
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: great football team, but they are a much better team

267
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: at home. There, for some reason, a different team at home.

268
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: And if you got Drew Stanton running the show, that

269
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: we'll find out what happens to Arizona and the Rams

270
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: deserve credit for making the key plays at the end

271
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: of these three games. It's not like they're blowing teams out.

272
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: The play that stands out to me is the third

273
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: down conversion from Todd Gurley that the passes behind him

274
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: on third and long. He makes a good pass behind them,

275
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: he makes a couple of defenders missed, he gets the

276
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: first down. Two plays later they scored the winning touchdown

277
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: that was set up to to really be a tie

278
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: game at that point in Gurley, who's starting to make

279
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: some impact in the passing game now that they're not

280
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: rushing the ball. If you're the Rams, is tonight the

281
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: night to announce a fourteen year extension for Jeff fis,

282
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do it? This was I mean,

283
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: I don't know honestly, because he was no one was

284
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: getting more flame three weeks ago, twenty one days ago.

285
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: But you've put together a pretty good three game stretcher.

286
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: We gotta give Jeff Fisher a lot of credit to

287
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: everybody was against the guy after that shutout loss. And

288
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: I'll point out somebody on Twitter, obviously a Rams fan

289
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: at super annoyed uh tweeted at me get woke. Rams

290
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: are three and one and first in the division. You

291
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: guys better acknowledge this on the podcast. Okay, I mean, yes,

292
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: this basic knowledge, but yes him uh at super annoyed

293
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: that it didn't seem that that means spirited. But yes,

294
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: they're three and one and in first place at the

295
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: quarter pole of the season. Well, he's right, And I

296
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: don't know about the Seattle in the Arizona the Cardinals.

297
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: It's not you're not knocking out a bunch of lightweights.

298
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: I get it. We we haven't really given them a

299
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: ton of credit or a ton of airtime. Are ready

300
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: to believe that this is well, we have negative airtime,

301
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: right and but this the one thing is that this

302
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: defense has been together for a while. It's a young,

303
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: young team, but it is not a young defense. This

304
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: group has been together and their recon When do you

305
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: trade Jared Goff to the forty Niners? Maybe before Thursday?

306
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: Do not break out the panic button in Arizona until

307
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: after Thursday's game. All right, they'll win that game. Please

308
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: well Withdrew after that game with absolutely looked terrible, going absolutely,

309
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Guys. In the past, playing without Tony

310
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Romo Dez Bryant would mean doom for the Cowboys curtains

311
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: Markton's but that was before Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott

312
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: showed up. The dynamic rookies led the Cowboys to their

313
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: third consecutive win seventeen conquest over the host Niners. Mark.

314
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: This was not an easy one, but big he got

315
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: it done. Well. It's like we just talked about, the

316
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: Niners really do seem to be a different football operation

317
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: at home. And this was a different game for the

318
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys because in three weeks leading up to this they've

319
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: gotten out to six nothing tend nothing in seventeen nothing leads.

320
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: With Dak Prescott under center, today they fell down fourteen.

321
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: Nothing had to dig themselves out of a hole, and

322
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: Prescott played well. He continues to show a lot of poise.

323
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: But for me, Ezekiel Elliott, we've talked about him as you.

324
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: You argued that he could wind up as the offensive

325
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: rookie of the year for Carson Wentz. I think it's

326
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: it's a fair um point by you, because Ezekiel Elliott

327
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: has gotten better and better in terms of his yardage

328
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: and yard per carry every game. And today what I

329
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: saw was a running back that grew stronger, ran downhill,

330
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: and gained steam in the third and fourth quarter, and

331
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: really led this Cowboys team to win with no Dez

332
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Bryant on the field. He was the difference. Andy's the

333
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: NFL's leading rusher right now. Sure, how about you know

334
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: the other more obvious rookie of the Year candidate on

335
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: this same team. I think if the season ended today,

336
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: would would probably get more of a than Ezekiel. How

337
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: did Dak Prescott look. I think he looked good. I

338
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: mean they it was a weird game. I mean he

339
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: he without without Brian in there. He favored you know, Williams.

340
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: He had looking at he's looking at uh, basically his

341
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: tight ends. Third and fourth string receivers. They did the

342
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: best they could. It was the ground game that made

343
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: the difference in the second half though. But Prescott, I

344
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: can't kill the guy. I mean, he's he's looked fantastic

345
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: in four games. He's now gone one attempts without interception

346
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: the most ever. He's he's careful with the football, and

347
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: I think they've got the offense. It helps that they've

348
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: got the ground game they do. You know, the defense

349
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: also clamped up on on Blaine Gabbert after you know,

350
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: after the first open they score touchdowns right away and

351
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: then at that point they basically just shut them down.

352
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: I mean they they got a perfect schedule to start

353
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: this season with a rookie quarterback. Four straight teams without

354
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: great pass rushes in the last two weeks, two of

355
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the league. But Dak Prescott, when

356
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: I watched him, he seems like one of the most

357
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: this is hard to evaluate when you're on the couch,

358
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: but one of the smartest, like most advanced rookie quarterbacks

359
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: we've seen a long time, and started in terms of

360
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: changing the plays and point used the words poise, poise.

361
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: I've kind of award poise for the rest of the

362
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: season and I just composed along with Carson Wentz, and

363
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: it's like, I think we're starting to see quarterbacks that

364
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: don't roll in completely raw. They are being better trained

365
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: for the NFL than any other time. I'd even say

366
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler looked prepared today. That's it's a rash of

367
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: young rookie guys that don't look completely long credit opposite,

368
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: give credit to you know, Jason Garrett. I think for

369
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: coaching up this team to three and one. Wasn't a

370
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: team we thought was too great. And Prescott's coming from

371
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: a system in college that couldn't be more different. Their

372
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: defense has issues, but more Clay Born played I think

373
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: the best game he's played in two years too at

374
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: a big interception and a huge hit on what would

375
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: have been, you know, potentially game time drive by the Niners.

376
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: We heard that Tony Romos starting to work his way back. Now,

377
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: what if they're six and two, not chance. I think

378
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: Romo is the quarterback no matter what. Once he's healthy,

379
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: you can do so much more with him. Now if

380
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: there's like a week seven and one, if there's a

381
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: week he's the quarterback no matter what. If there's a

382
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: week or two it. He just got back to being ready,

383
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: but he's only practiced twice. Maybe they're gonna wait an

384
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: extra week or two till he's really all the way

385
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: back and he's gotten his conditioning back. I don't think

386
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: there's any I mean, this isn't Romo playing like last

387
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: year's Peyton Manning. It's it's Romo as far as we know,

388
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: who's still Romo. And but the problem is that Dak

389
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: Prescott is clearly the future, and so it's just kind

390
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: of we've seen this and now we have to go

391
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: back to Romo and hope that he can continue it.

392
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: One note on the other side, the other team, I

393
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: don't know how many defenders there are who are the

394
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: absolute beating heart of their defense, and if you take

395
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: him out, the defense falls apart. But Navarro Bowman's got

396
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: to be right atop that list and the forty Niners.

397
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: Mark wrote this in his recap Ezekiel Elliott. It is

398
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: no coincidence that he caught fire as soon as Bowman

399
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: cap Bowman left with a non contact injury that they're

400
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: saying looked like an Achilles type injury as far as

401
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: we know at this point, were exactly right. It caught fired.

402
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: He caught fire. At that point, Elliott rap Sheet says,

403
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: the fear is that the Achilles is torn. That's bre

404
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: for them. I mean that could not. He's their most

405
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: important player by far. I mean, this is a team

406
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: that gave up eighty three points over two games before.

407
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: It's one of the least talented teams in the league. Already,

408
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: let's move on. In fact, let's head over to the

409
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: throne of sleeves. The Buffalo Bills are alive and well.

410
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor played crisp turnover free football and Rex Ryan's

411
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: under man defense gave Jake Brisket fits and a sixteen

412
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: to nothing win over the Patriots in Foxborough. Greg, this

413
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: is the first time you boys have been shut out

414
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: at home since nineteen What happened here, Well, the Bills

415
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: came in and they dominated in every possible way. And

416
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of things on Twitter about you know, Okay,

417
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: this is what happens with your third string quarterback. It's

418
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: not about the third string quarterback. The Bills offense dominated

419
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense. The game was won in the first

420
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: three Bills drives of the game twelve play drive ten,

421
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: play drive twelve, played drive, just staying on the field,

422
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: wearing this Patriots team down. The Patriots offense goes three

423
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: and out a couple of times. You know, Brisket only

424
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: through three passes in the first half, because the Bills

425
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: controlled things sixteen first downs to two, rex out coach

426
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick for a day. I don't think that's that

427
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: crazy to say. Why is that it happens? It's football.

428
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: He Everything that the Bills wanted to do they did.

429
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't even feel bad about this as a fan

430
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: because the Bills were so much better than the Patriots. Well,

431
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: and because you've got Tom Brady coming at that house.

432
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah right. I mean I was getting tweets like, Oh,

433
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have so much fun. Don't be such a

434
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: jerk with the Patriots. I'm not gonna go nuts about

435
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: this game. They're they're getting out of the four games

436
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: at three and one, which is what they obviously would

437
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: have signed off on that losing sixteen nothing is a

438
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: little strange, the fact that they got dominated the way

439
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: they were. But I wasn't totally shocked that they got

440
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: They got beat here. This is a tough situation with

441
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: the third string quarterback. But the more the bigger story

442
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: to me because the Patriots will see what they look

443
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: like next week with Tom Brady, and I don't think

444
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: this was a great game for them overall, but they've

445
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: shown enough this year. The bigger stories the Bills, the

446
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: Bills who could not have been mocked more in this room,

447
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: more given up for dead, just like the Rams are

448
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: back in a great spot four weeks into the season

449
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 1: there two and two with their playing the Rams next

450
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: week and then a couple of winning book games after that,

451
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: after two dominant performances against the Cardinals and the Patriots.

452
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: And I know it was Brissette in there, but whatever

453
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: you're you're dominating another NFL offense that that's hard to do.

454
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: Slice me off that Jake brisk probably the last chance

455
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: we'll ever get to use what he'll be back where

456
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: he'll be winning a super Bowl. The linebacker corps of

457
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes, Preston Brown, Zach Brown, and Lorenzo Alexander has

458
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: been the best linebacker corp in the NFL this year,

459
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: and two of those guys are retreaded, Lorenzo Alexander and

460
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: Zach Brown. We did Zach Brown making the leap three

461
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: years ago and it never happened in Tennessee. But he's

462
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: one of the fastest linebackers in the league. He was incredible.

463
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: When you watch this game, he I know they lost

464
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: Reggie Raglan, that was supposed to be a big loss.

465
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: In the end, Zak Brown has been a great linebacker

466
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: for them. Jerry Hughes is one of the best pass

467
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: rushers in the league. And oh, by the way, Lashawn

468
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: McCoy is still really good. He is still people forgot

469
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: about him. He's still a very talented runner. The numbers

470
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: don't pop off the screen today. It was a hundred

471
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: and five yards from scrimmage. He made a lot of

472
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: good Patriots defenders miss again and again credit to Anthony

473
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: Lynn to Well, that's as people were saying on Twitter.

474
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: You know, best way to motivate your in battled defense

475
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: is to fire your offensive coordinating genius speaking one one question,

476
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: can I I I respect to Rex Ryan. He won

477
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: this game sixteen nothing. This is like something he just

478
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: sits around and dreams about in the middle of the night,

479
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: and it happened. But why do you need to get

480
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: on the microphone and tell people that a source inside

481
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots organization told you that Prisette was going to

482
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: start this game. Why why do you need to go

483
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: there when you're Rex Ryan, Why can you ever just

484
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: win a game? You always look it's not it's a

485
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: fair question the coach. What other coach in the league

486
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: does this? Oh, he's not like every other coach, and

487
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: that's not part of the reasons some people like him.

488
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: He's different. Well, it's also part of the reason that

489
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: he's you know link things look good today, but it's

490
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: it is a liability when your coach does this kind

491
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: of still love Sorry, I do love it though, because

492
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: here's why he did it. He did it to annoy

493
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. He did it to at all. You don't

494
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: think Bill Belichick's got to hear that and be annoyed

495
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: that Rex says someone inside the Patriots that he set

496
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: this up the battle not the wark he you think

497
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: he was always trying to get under belichick skin with

498
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: this line. No, I mean, he's satisfying. But let's face

499
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: they had a player out. It's just in they had

500
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: a player out and we had our team, so you know,

501
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: we expected to win. We expected to win some If

502
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: if that's his white whale, someone should tell him how

503
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: Moby Dick ends up. What one last thing about the Patriots.

504
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: You know, I know people think Rob Gronkowski's getting back

505
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: to the mix. It'd be good to see it. You know,

506
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: he's on the field playing martellis end it at a

507
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: hundred nine yards in this game, Gronk had one target

508
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: or one catch. I'm not saying why what why? What

509
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: happened there? I don't know. I mean, I'm not but

510
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: down the coaches film. I assume Gronk will be Gronk conventional.

511
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: You've also got to like to see it. It's it's

512
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna I want to. I'll be concerned about that when

513
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: Brady's back in Nix and ignoring Robbins. Let's see what

514
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: happens next week. Can we get your hamstring analysis? I mean,

515
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: considering you have had hamstring I have, I've had I

516
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: had two hamstring injuries last year. So you can see

517
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: why Gronk might not be Grounk just yet. It takes time.

518
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: West's hamstring exploded heading to third base. Mine exploded running

519
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: to first Blase, But you know what we want to

520
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: we want a championship. Yeah, but I was I was

521
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: a non factor because of the hamstring. Okay, Well, there

522
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: you go. So it could it could be something that awesome.

523
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: You think he's super human, and maybe they should have

524
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: been a little more careful not putting him on the

525
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: field at this point. But they're obviously taking some precaution

526
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: with him. The Pats are gonna be fine. And Mark,

527
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, this is not trending well for

528
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: your Browns next week. I mean it wasn't anyway, but

529
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: you're getting an angry Bill Belichick team that goes into

530
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland to face a talent Uh. Poor Brown's roster. Yeah,

531
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: I might skip that one. Maybe Greg can cover that game.

532
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: I was already assuming you were covering it. Well, assume not.

533
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: Let's move on Jeremy Bergman or something burgo. Uh. Let's

534
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: move on to the meadow Lands where Russell Wilson. Yeah,

535
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: the Jets now have a chance here. The Bills losing

536
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: to get within a game after four uh at the

537
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: quarter pole point didn't work out. Russell Wilson through for

538
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: over three yards and three touchdowns and Ryan Fitzpatrick man

539
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: through three more interceptions as the Seattle Seahawks pushed the

540
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: Jets to the brink in a seventeen win at the

541
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: meadow Lands. And all that talk about Russell Wilson's ankle

542
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: and knee. You could see when you watch, when you

543
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: watch this game that it did affect him in the

544
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: sense that he was not looking to scramble. He was

545
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: not the same as he always was. At one point

546
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the game, Leonard will Williams flashed in front

547
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: of his face. The big Cat was I gotta get

548
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: the big cat back in the overnack. I remember in

549
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: the nineties, everybody was there was a James big Cat Williams,

550
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: there was there was a couple more big the big

551
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: cat Leonard Williams. Yeah, there was a big Daddy, Big

552
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Daddy Wilkinson, right, yeah, Dann Wilkinson. Yeah, the original big

553
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's been bandied about. I think it's

554
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: a coach's term, the probably scouting term. Probably then gets

555
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: attached to players and it's a little archaic anyway. So

556
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: the big Cat Lenny Williams gets up in Wilson's face

557
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: and he's unable to move. He gets flattened like a pancake.

558
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: But so that element game of his game was gone.

559
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: But I even respected Russell Wilson more after this game

560
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: because forced to be essentially a pocket passer. He shredded

561
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: the New York secondary on every level, and I really,

562
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean he played an almost perfect game. The some

563
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: of the throws he was making. Our dear departed uh

564
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: a former producer TD used to say that Russell Wilson

565
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: threw a sexy deep ball. Some of his touch passes

566
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: in this game uncoverable. There's nothing you can do about it.

567
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: And what struck me and the most UH at this

568
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: from this game was how much better the Seahawks were

569
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: than the Jets. I thought that, In fact, my lock

570
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: of the week did not work out because listen, maybe

571
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: West is right now. I had too much invested in

572
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: them being my team. But I really did think that Jets,

573
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: coming off that Casey lost, we're gonna play well at home.

574
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: And I don't even think they played horrifically. I just

575
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: thought it was a better team bullying them. And maybe

576
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: that goes a little bit towards all of us being

577
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: on board with Seattle is the best team in the

578
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: league before the season started. They looked so good in

579
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: this game, and Kristen Michael again did some things. Wes C. J.

580
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: Spiller Uh straight off the scrap heap had a touchdown

581
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: and looked elusive and fast. So the Seahawks looked very

582
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: good in this game. Russell Wilson, Uh, you have my respect,

583
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: my friend. Yes. C J. Spiller's issue last year wasn't

584
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: just his high end speed. It was that he didn't

585
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: have dynamic cutting ability. And when I saw that first

586
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: thirteen yard run that you alerted me to his cutting

587
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: abilities back. You could tell it on that run. That's

588
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: a great pickup for a guy who's sitting out there

589
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: free for the taking. Other team saying, wait, he was

590
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: just sitting on his couch last week. Could we use

591
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: that Jets in fact worked him out before he signed

592
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: with Seattle. Um, but you know I'm not saying on

593
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: c J. Spiller Now is two thousand twelve. C J. Spiller?

594
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 1: But he good? Now, Jimmy Yes, Jimmy Graham, are you

595
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: that inspired? C J. Spiller? Just ignore me? Okay, he's

596
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: not playing for the Brown so he's got Jimmy Graham.

597
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: In the off season West, we talked about torn Pateller attendance.

598
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: This is the year of the recovery from the torn

599
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: pateller attendant. Victor Cruz looks good in New York and

600
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham looks like Jimmy Graham is second straight one

601
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: hundred yard gain, scary good chemistry with Russell Wilson on

602
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: two touch passes. Like I alluded to earlier, he just looked, uh,

603
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: really really good. And if you have actual Jimmy Graham

604
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: in that offense, which we didn't even have last year.

605
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: They didn't have things together before he got hurt last year,

606
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: it gives a a whole another dynamic that makes them

607
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: even more dangerous. That that is a game changer, and

608
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: that was when I watched that game. Finally over the weekend.

609
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: What really stuck out to me is their the their

610
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: offense is totally different with Jimmy Graham being who he was.

611
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he was making some bizarre because last year

612
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: their offense didn't take off until Jimmy Graham was hurt.

613
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: And it's especially useful now because they're not really getting

614
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: much out of Tyler Lockett. They're not playing him a ton,

615
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: which I'm a little surprised about. But Graham is making

616
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: physical catches and that that offense, it might do them

617
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: a favor to have Wilson playing from the pocket for

618
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: this part of the year. Can I ask you a question,

619
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's not I'm not jabbing at the Jets

620
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: on any level because there are only so many quarterbacks

621
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: to go around. But I feel that in general, when

622
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: we see a mid tier quarterback have a big season

623
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: like Fitzpatrick dad last year, the caution has to be

624
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: we can't assume that's gonna happen twice based on the

625
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: history of not just Fitzpatrick but players like that. We're

626
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: seeing mid level quarterbacks play well right now out but

627
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: those teams still need to go get a better solution

628
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: at that at that position. Are you looking if it's

629
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: Patrick's definitely now. Do you think he can get himself

630
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: out of this? Yeah, I still think he's He's in

631
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: a slump. He went through a slump last year that

632
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: he came out of. Uh. It doesn't help that the

633
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: schedule has been terrible, or that Eric and Eric Decker

634
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: who might be out for the year now, and that

635
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't know where he had four touchdowns and ten

636
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: interceptions in four games. He's got a one to nine

637
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: ratio last two weeks. He's undeniably struggling right now, but

638
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to throw in the talent Ryan Fitzpatrick

639
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: and again, the Jets were in a weird spot in

640
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: the offseason because there wasn't a great option out there,

641
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: of course, of course, and you didn't want to turn

642
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: to Gino Smith and the Jets. And this what drives

643
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: me crazy about the Jets. They even if they wanted

644
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, it's not working with Ryan and you're two,

645
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: let's get a young guy in there, they can't even

646
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: do that, even though they have two young guys in

647
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: the roster once Hurt, Bryce Petty, and the other guy

648
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: is a total red shirt project. So the Jets are

649
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: kind of in no man's landed quarterback, which is not

650
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: surprising for a team that would actually have to walk

651
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: around wearing red clothing all the time. And I know

652
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna go here and out and he's gonna say,

653
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: let's put in Geno Smith. Nobody Jets. I wasn't. I

654
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: wasn't saying that. I'm saying they will see what how

655
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: Hackenburg's career goes. But I think in a league where

656
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: a ton of rookies and first year players at quarterback

657
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: are playing and playing well, then you have to take

658
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: some of the blame for having a red shirt quarterback

659
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: that you've taken the second round two rounds ahead of that,

660
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: I or you could do I can't. I don't think

661
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: you could look at it that way because he was

662
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: drafted as a total project, a guy that needed to

663
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: be reworked from the ground up. Well, why in the

664
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: second round not to pile up? What are we talking

665
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: about now? I mean, yes, that was a questionable pick

666
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: because things going on with the Rams, right, you can't

667
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: it's a legal I think it's not just the Jets

668
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: have a lot more way to go to develop. It

669
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: felt like you, you guys want me to admit that

670
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: the Jets quarterbacks actually congratulations, I admitted. What do you

671
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: want from that? To be fair, Dan, I don't think

672
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: that we're actually picking on the Jets at all. I

673
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: talked about a lot of teams in this position. There's

674
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: always a group in the Jets are one of those teams,

675
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: that's all. Yes, the Jets have an issue a quarterback.

676
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: Let's see if Fitzpatrick comes out of it. But I

677
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna have a chance because the

678
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: schedule gets worse. Back to back road trips Pittsburgh and

679
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: Arizona and the Ravens and then the Ravens. Let's see

680
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: what Keith Hands has had to say this week. The

681
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: anger is starting to get through. I think with him

682
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: too now. His name is Keith, He's dance dad. He'll

683
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: doubt about it. He's a big Jets fan. What is

684
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: he going to say? Will that the game today? What

685
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: is he going to will mappen game today? Is the

686
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: review of today's Jets game. The Jets were totally outplashed, outplayed,

687
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: and outcoached. The Jet offense was tenative, and Fitzpatrick, although

688
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: he played better this week, through three picks, including the

689
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: one he telegraphed to Sherman that that was the game change.

690
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: At the turn to game, Jets defense was shredded. I

691
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: don't know where the Jet defensive coaches are because they

692
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: must have not been watching the same game that we

693
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: will watching because they made no adjustments. They were absolutely

694
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: outcoached terribly. And lastly, the two consecutives uh Sion House

695
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, that was embarrassment to the team

696
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: that they did that. I mean, come on, let's go,

697
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: where are you guys? All right? So terriful games for

698
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: the Jets. Thanks. I've heard that tone from my dad

699
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: when I was growing up if I did something wrong,

700
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: or I brought home or you got a homework report

701
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: sent to him in the mail. You don't want that. No, no,

702
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: that no homeworker. Did they have homework reports? Are you sure?

703
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: No homework? Greag with a shaky call back on a

704
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: bit there. Keith weighed in on on his entrance music. Yeah,

705
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: he likes it. He's gonna be honored, right, Yeah, he's

706
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: really into it. But I think we might be in

707
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: the midst of a flame out Jet season, so we'll

708
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: see what happened. Well, there was a darkness to that call,

709
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean compared to even when they lost the Week one.

710
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: There was some bouncing his step. They played well against

711
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: a good team. This ventured into grim territory. Is a

712
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: little concerned about your dad? Yeah? Yeah, it's not easy.

713
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: It's not easy being a Jet fan. Let's move on.

714
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree's twenty three yard touchdown reception, his third of

715
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: the day from Derek Carr, put the Raiders ahead, and

716
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: the defense followed with the score. Followed that score with

717
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: a stop ensuring seven win over the previously undefeated Ravens.

718
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: Let's hear what that game winning touchdowns sounded like. Lassid

719
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: string the gun two by two, Derek Low Snap Derek

720
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: looking Derek, Derek and Lobe for crop tray did he

721
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: gets takedown? Touchdown? Raiders track Dad of the Game, Star

722
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: touched out of the game. Greg Papa of kg m Z,

723
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: The Oakland Raiders my nominee as a team of a

724
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: t L are three and one with three road wins,

725
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: all on the East Coast. Even Little Debbie chimes in today.

726
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: So you still don't know who the team for the

727
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: show should be. Oh, I know who should be? What

728
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: do you think, Greg Rosenthal. Anything that gets a little

729
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: Debbie back in our life rapping about the Raiders, I'm

730
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: all about it. Greg poppas the official announcer of the

731
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast. That much is for sure. I mean,

732
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 1: they get they're so excited because they couldn't be bigger

733
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: football fans and they have had nothing to cheer about

734
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: for about fifteen years, and they finally got a team

735
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: that can win some games on the road, three road wins.

736
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: We mentioned in the preview of this game that Derek

737
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: Carr is the hardest quarterback to sack right now. He's

738
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: also not turning the ball over, he doesn't throw interceptions,

739
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: anymore either. So I think you see that and then

740
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: you see what he did today in the red zone.

741
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: I believe they were three for three in the red zone.

742
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: That's a good quarterback coming together. Right now, what's the game?

743
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: The Ravens are gonna be kicking themselves that they lost

744
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: at home. They have first downs to thirteen for the Raiders.

745
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: They outgained the Raiders by a hundred and fifty. But

746
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders to this point, except for the Falcons game,

747
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: have have managed to be the better team in the

748
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarters of all these games. Where now they kind

749
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: of you get that, you get that feeling like we're

750
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: gonna hit the plate at Crabty. That was a beautiful

751
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: throw and an incredible move Michael who. I don't know

752
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: who he destroyed on that route. But if you love

753
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: route running on route trees, and I know Maddi Harmon

754
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: of the Fantasy team, he could write probably a long

755
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: form about that route that crabs you around ran for

756
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: the third touchdown because it was so gorgeous. I mean,

757
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: this team and West you pointed out how they were

758
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: badly outgained as well in this game four twelve to

759
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: two sixty one. But that's another reason why I love

760
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: this team and why I really do believe that they

761
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: are a great nominee for the Team of a t

762
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: L because they are scrappy and they fight, and they

763
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,439
Speaker 1: have now two of these great comeback wins. This time

764
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: he gets an undefeated team. The Raiders are an exciting

765
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 1: team and that and that fan base is finally having

766
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: something to get pumped up about. On the other side,

767
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens you mentioned they have to be kicking themselves, Greg,

768
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 1: but they have some great takeaways from this game. Terence

769
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: West should have been starting in week one. He goes

770
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards today, look great in the second

771
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: half of this game. Steve Smith has no business to

772
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: have fifty two yard touchdown at thirty seven years old

773
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: coming off in Achilles making that play. It's phenomenal how

774
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: well Steve Smith is playing well. And these are two

775
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: players that other teams didn't want at some point, and

776
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens have done an excellent job year after year

777
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: of taking other people's trash. Terrence West was left for dead.

778
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: The guy should have probably been starting earlier. I think

779
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: that was a respectful nod to Justin for set. But

780
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: they've got a good running back who looked nothing like

781
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: this at his last two stops in Tennessee and Cleveland.

782
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: Kenneth Dixon is coming back to that could be a

783
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: good one two point. They didn't even have foresaid active

784
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: for this game and didn't deserve to be. And the

785
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: and the mental toughness of the Raiders who you know,

786
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: right before this drive happened. Every everyone that was a

787
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: Raiders fan and I and I saw some tweets out

788
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: there they were like, I can't believe the Raiders just

789
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: chunked this game away so quickly. The race un the

790
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: race even scored two touchdowns out of nowhere in the

791
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter in about two minutes. And and for the

792
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: Raiders just to be mentally tough and then go take

793
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: it anyways as impressive against a mentally tough team like

794
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens. This is a really good win for the Raiders.

795
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: And the Ravens are still in good position, and this

796
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: is almost maybe everything kind of averages out in the end.

797
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: The Ravens stole a couple of games earlier in the season,

798
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: now they got one stolen from them. Uh, but you

799
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: gotta these teams, these are both potential playoff teams. Maybe

800
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: one of them could fade, but they both look good

801
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: to me. I watched it again. This was a good game.

802
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: And the Ravens are three and one team. They're not

803
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: a four no team no matter how it played out,

804
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: so they're in a fair place. Let's a move on,

805
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: gentlemen to London. Hi, everybody in London. We have a

806
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: lot of fans in England, which is in Europe. Hashtag

807
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: geography nailed it. Uh. Blake Bortles through two touchdown passes

808
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: and rushed for another, and the Jaguars defense made a

809
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: final fourth quarter stop to lynch a thirty to twenty

810
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: seven win at Wembley Stadium. Uh. Here is the call

811
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: from Bob Lammy or Lamy of w F and I

812
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: hope it's Sammy versus Laney esp intense seventy Uh. The

813
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: Colts broadcast calling the last effort by Andrew Luck to

814
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: get this team to victory out of the gun takes usnap.

815
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: He looks, he steps up, he throws up all his

816
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: by Dwayne and Jacksonville wins. Poor Bob Lammy, And the

817
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: main reason I even pulled him up is because he

818
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: after they outlasted the Chargers last week, he dropped an

819
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: accidental f bomb live on the airwaves. I wanted to

820
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: see if you do it again. He didn't. A brother

821
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: in arms to you. Yeah, well you know he's a professional,

822
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: but yes. So the Colts now fall to one in three.

823
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: The Jaguars finally get that win, and the Colts are

824
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: just a mess, greg they are, and they're gonna be

825
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: kicking themselves. These two teams really went back and fourth

826
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: trying to blow this game in terrible game management that

827
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck watched his teammates drop at least six or

828
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: seven passes. Anthony Costanzo was terrible at left tackle. The

829
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: guys that they've paid a lot of money to are

830
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: not playing well. Robert Mathis is not playing well for them.

831
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars, I know it was ugly, but they

832
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: needed this win so badly, and they were up seventeen

833
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter and Gus Bradley and this

834
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: team basically had a tutorial on how to blow a

835
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter, and some of the game

836
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: management stuff at the end which gave the ball back

837
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis was so bad. They have to be breathing

838
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: a sigh of relief because they needed this and maybe

839
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: they can start playing better. I don't think what's a

840
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: well played game in general. Greig and I were texting

841
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: it around six I got for some reason, got up

842
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: at six twenty in the morning, took a quick shower

843
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: to watch this. The first half of this game, very

844
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: nice water temperature, cleanse my entire system. It was great.

845
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: Um something for the female listeners. Not really, I don't

846
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: think that's going to be doing much with anyone. Honestly,

847
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: the first half of this game was one of the

848
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: worst has I have ever watched. And I could only

849
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: feel for the fans. That's right, I could only, you know,

850
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: feel for the fans in Wembley because the television broadcast

851
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: also and this is a this is a minor annoyance.

852
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: Most people wouldn't care about this, but whatever CBS was

853
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: doing with their sleepy announcement of this game, the sound

854
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: was tempering Wembley to make it sound like people were

855
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: watching golf. Wembley is an incredibly loud stating when you're

856
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: there in person, it's a great place to watch a

857
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: football game. This broadcast made it seem like it was

858
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: a poetry reading. It was ridiculous. Well, it's a bad game.

859
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if Lendon these games are that's amazing.

860
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because these games, you know,

861
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: because of the time change. They get there on Friday.

862
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: Who knows they're doing events Saturday. It was sloppy drops, penalties,

863
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: not a lot of offense. Even the Jaguars score drives

864
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: were penalty driven. With three minutes left in the third quarter,

865
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you some Colt stats. At that point

866
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,959
Speaker 1: in the game. They had total yards and seventy three

867
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: penalty yards. At that point in the game, Andrew Luck

868
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: had dropped back to pass twenty times. The Colts had

869
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: gained ten yards on those twenty dropbacks. So the Jaguars

870
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: were playing Gus Bradley's dream game for three quarters, kind

871
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: of strangling the ball, you know, some five minute drives

872
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: on offense, playing great on defense. It looked like everything

873
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: they wanted to be, and then kind of everything blew

874
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: up in the fourth It feels like we've been watching

875
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: the same movie for four years now. The Quotes can't

876
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: run the ball, Andrew Luck takes too many hits. They

877
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: don't move the ball until late in the third quarter

878
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter when they go no huddle up

879
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: tempo and that's what they need to make their base offense. Well,

880
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing that they don't know what they are

881
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: because they're so afraid that their defense is bad that

882
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: I think they feel like they have to run the

883
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: ball to protect Andrew Luck. And that's the thing. They

884
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: have run the ball really well in the first half.

885
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: They've been trying to do that for four years and

886
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: they've never once protected Andrew Luck. Right, So I don't

887
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't think there's an answer to it. They're trying

888
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 1: to keep their defense off the field. They've actually Gore

889
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 1: has had two big first halfs in a row, and

890
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: it's it's like, it doesn't it doesn't looks better than

891
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: he did last year. Right, it doesn't really matter because

892
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: they are a passing team. That's when they're they're at

893
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: their best is when they're in the h Did Gus

894
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: Bradley save his job? Yeah, for the rest of the season.

895
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: I don't think this was a team that was gonna

896
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: fire Us Bradley midseason, largely because unless you're enamored by

897
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: Doug Marone, there's not a lot of people that you

898
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: shift into the head coaching spot for the rest of

899
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: the year. If they have the Bears and Titans in

900
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: two of the next three games too. If Duyne Allen

901
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: didn't drop that pass and the Colts after a game

902
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: another game management mess up by Gus Bradley in the

903
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: final two minutes blow US seventeen point fourth quarter lead

904
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: and they go in four. I'm just saying, technically, when

905
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: you bring do interim coach, there needs to be a

906
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: logical person who would have to be Doug Marone. I think.

907
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean they had a drive that took eight seconds

908
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: off the clock with about two minutes left that include

909
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: did a one yard out to Mark Easley, also Tiger

910
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: one thing, one thing Mark. Doug Moron does not want

911
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: to move up. He doesn't want a battlefield from I

912
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: think he's probably perfectly happy Dicks figures in the shadows.

913
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm the head coach of the Bills now. I don't

914
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: want to do that. I want to be the offensive

915
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: line coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars under Gus Brett, much prett,

916
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: more preferable. That was probably not the first year we

917
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: took it to the limits, have you though? I don't

918
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: think Blake Borders threw a single pass that went over

919
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: twenty yards today either, they're like coaching around Blake Borders

920
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: at this which is the reverse of what he was

921
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: last season. I want to hear about Jack's Ladies Beach

922
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: house again, It's not in Miami. It's kind of a

923
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: little outside on the beach. By the way. This pariscope thing,

924
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: periscope thing does not work out in the studio. Pariscope

925
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: through showers Sunday morning, that's all Mark. Would you be

926
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: up for that? Definitely not, Nor do I think anyone

927
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: that with with who has periscope would be up for it.

928
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: All right, just spitfall in here, Moving on, find different programming.

929
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears got a hundred and eleven yards on

930
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: the ground from Jordan Howard, huh and what can I

931
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: get a home improvement for that one? And a hundred

932
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: eleven yards through the air from Eddie Royal in a

933
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen win over the Detroit Lions, Mark Sessler, how

934
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: did John Fox's team bring Matt Stafford back down to earth? Well,

935
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: the one question we raised about the Lions last show.

936
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: We've had people pepper us with tweets make the Lions

937
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: the team of a t l Their offense is so exciting.

938
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: It's because every couple of weeks you get this, and

939
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: I think that the Bears Vic Fangio is an underrated

940
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator who is doing as much as he can

941
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: with a banged up defensive roster and befuddled Stafford for

942
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: almost the entire game until they scored a late touchdown.

943
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: And on the flip side, Brian Hoyer, who is well,

944
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: we know what he is, but you know what he is.

945
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: He's better than Jay Cutler. Frankly, I'm not saying. I'm

946
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: not saying from a skill set angle, but he did

947
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: not make mistakes today and that's the opposite of Jay

948
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: Cutler the better last week. He has a one oh

949
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: three point three passer rating to Jay Cutler seventy point seven.

950
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: And this is what It's just like, what was it

951
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: three years ago when Josh McCown came in and outplayed

952
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: Ja Well, It's like it's kind of a paraphrasing of

953
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: the Bill Parcel saying, if you have Jay Cutler and

954
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer as your quarterbacks, you don't have a quarterback.

955
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: You tell know, we even argue because like, neither guy

956
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: is really going to take you to the fair point.

957
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:24,959
Speaker 1: The one thing we just talked about a Ravens team

958
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 1: that self scouts well. And yes, they started Terence West

959
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: this week and the Bears started Jordan Howard And why

960
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: did it take so long for both teams to make

961
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: that decision? But I will say this, the Ravens have

962
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: a great track record that the Bears couldn't have seen that.

963
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is a bigger, fiercer, better running back than

964
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: the boring crew they had in front of him up

965
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: till now. Then I question everything that's happening in Chicago

966
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: from to the coach. No, because this big look at

967
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: Bears fans. There's a bunch of good franchises out there

968
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: that are crap right now, and the fans have to

969
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: deal with it. Longtime fans where fathers pass it on

970
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: to their sons, Jets, Bears, Brown's, other teams, and it's

971
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: frustrating to watch Chicago do what they've done today. They

972
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: snuck it. They I wouldn't say they snuck a win,

973
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: but this is gonna happen at some point. It's leave

974
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: it to the Lions to blow it. Such a disappointing

975
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: start for the Lions, well, it's I listen. I can

976
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: I read Kevin Patra's right up, and I could see

977
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: he's a Lions fan underneath it all, And like, why

978
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: is he often in a bad mood? I think I

979
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: understand why Why is he lifting weights that are way

980
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: beyond his body capacity? Because he's got rage. He's gotta

981
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: get it out. It's like incredible hulks and he's got

982
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: a right to be raged. And they bench Golden Tate

983
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: for Andre Roberts for he had four targets, one catch

984
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: for one yard. It's brutal that this Lions team is

985
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: one in three. They should have beat the Titans and

986
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: then you go to Chicago and lose this game you had,

987
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: You had it all open for you to have a

988
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: nice start to the season. That's bad teams do. Carrie

989
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: hyderab the five sacks, one in each game so far

990
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: this year, the first player since nineteen eighty three William

991
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: Gay for the Lions to do that. The first woman

992
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL. Carrie Hider, Yeah, he's not

993
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: a woman. I will I will dig in on my

994
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: tape a little bit next week to di rectify thee

995
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: Let us know what your findings are. Okay, well, I

996
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: already know what I need to find out. That's a

997
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: man moving forward. So far, so good for Bill O'Brien

998
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: as the Texans play caller. Brock Osweiler threw a pair

999
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: of touchdown passes and Lamar Miller went over a hundred

1000
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 1: yards total in total offense and win over the Tennessee Titans.

1001
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, there was no post JJ hangover in Houston

1002
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday. No, there was that They controlled this game

1003
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: from the outset. Let the Titans back in a little

1004
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: bit with DeMarco Murray, but will Fuller the difference in

1005
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: this game? He is to me, he reminds me of

1006
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: a kind of a mashup of Deshan Jackson and Percy Harvin.

1007
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 1: He's a bigger DeShawn Jackson and he's got the speed.

1008
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: They put him on a punt return and he had

1009
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: the difference making touchdown right there with the game on

1010
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 1: the line hard. Marcus Mariota and Osweiler look in this

1011
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: game bad all the Ostwaller came out and had a

1012
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: really impressive opening drive. Looked better. Still looks like Brock Ostwaller,

1013
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: but he looked much better this week. Marcus Mariotta looks

1014
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: the same as he has the entire season. He threw

1015
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: another you know, head scratching interception thrown across his body

1016
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: on the run, and maybe maybe Delaney Walker should have

1017
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: made a better effort for it, but Mariota didn't. They

1018
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: tried a few a few downfield throws this time, and

1019
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: he hit one to Richard Matthews, but it's still a

1020
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: passing game where he doesn't look comfortable. I know. The

1021
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: Titans say they want to be this smash mouth type team,

1022
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: and they've done it well for for brief stretches, but

1023
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: they need will fuller. They need to go do what

1024
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: the Texans did last offseason, which is ad speed and

1025
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: downfield elements to their game. Because you can look pretty

1026
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: running a disguised running game and dress it up and

1027
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: drape it up in a bunch of you know, interesting

1028
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: pre snap movements, but bottom line teams are seen right

1029
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: through that at this point and you and for weeks

1030
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: in a row, it's the same thing with the type.

1031
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 1: The complete reversal of any preseason narrative. The Titans of

1032
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: the ultimate case here, because not only was Mariota looking good,

1033
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: you had this idea that this one two punch in

1034
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: the backfield Derrick Henry three attempts for nine yards. Was

1035
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: that game script or was that just poor usage? I

1036
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: think they just they see DeMarco Murray is one of

1037
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: the best backs in the league, and he is, and

1038
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: they don't want to play Derek They should be playing

1039
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. They should. But the running backs are not

1040
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: their problem. That is that's for sure. That DeMarco Murray

1041
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 1: move is a home run right now. I mean, he's playing,

1042
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: he's playing fantastic. It's it's their defense, it's the passing game,

1043
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: it's everything else the coaching. Let's move on, guys. The

1044
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins jumped out to two score leads, survived Brown surge,

1045
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: then took advantage of several Cleveland miskews and a thirty

1046
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: one twin in where Greg Landover very good, Landover mark

1047
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: Washington has righted the ship after a terrible two weeks start.

1048
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: Are they any good? Well, I'd be concerned about the

1049
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: Redskins for a variety of reasons. They looked in the

1050
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: first couple of minutes of this when they jumped out

1051
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 1: to this fourteen nothing lead. This was in a seven

1052
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: minute stretch where Jordan Reid had two touchdowns, And I

1053
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 1: said to West, game over because I thought that Washington

1054
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 1: well and it it. Cleveland climbed back into this uh

1055
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: and killed themselves with turnovers. But the Redskins when they

1056
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: can fry a bad secondary, they can produce yardagein points.

1057
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 1: But Kirk Cousins, I think the Cousins in the offense,

1058
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: he threw a terrible pick on the next possession that

1059
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: allowed Cleveland, which had scored previously to tie, to get

1060
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: to drive down the field and tie the game fourteen fourteen.

1061
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 1: Suddenly this was a game. And if you're the Washington Redskins,

1062
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: and if you're their opponent, you want to find out

1063
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: how to beat them. You run at their soft bellied

1064
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,399
Speaker 1: run defense. Isaiah Crowell, who was not a very good

1065
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: running back last year, is a completely different player in

1066
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson's offense and was the centerpieces. They just hammered

1067
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: at Washington's defense over and over and I've never seen

1068
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: a Brown's running back have that much space to run with.

1069
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: That's a big issue for Washington, but they took care

1070
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: of business. Cleveland killed themselves with three turnovers in the

1071
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: second half when they had a chance to take command

1072
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: of this game. And they're a young team that does

1073
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: not know how to close. They are not. They have

1074
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: to learn how to close games. They have to lead

1075
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. Um, you know the Bills

1076
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: and Redskins are linked to me and that after Week

1077
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: two both were huge storylines as teams that seem to

1078
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: be teetering on the brink of just a complete disaster

1079
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: the season. Neither team has lost since. And the Redskins,

1080
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, you can't go crazy, no lollipops for beating

1081
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: the Browns here, but again they have now crawled out

1082
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: of the Kirk Cousins, like Mark said, who played well

1083
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: in this game. He was a guy that was getting like,

1084
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, talk from his own team, that was getting

1085
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: out into the press. So that shows a little bit

1086
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: of fortitude there. Uh to test it, to test what

1087
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: do they call it? Testicular fortitude? To quote Guerrilla mont

1088
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 1: Soon by Kirk Cousins, I mean Cousins. I I don't

1089
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: want to your point is taken. I don't want to

1090
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: say he played well. I think that his numbers look

1091
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: better than what he was. Um, but that said, Matt

1092
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: Jones carved up Cleveland in the second half. The Browns

1093
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: are shorthanded. They're just not a very good team on defense.

1094
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: When in terms of star players, they have none. I

1095
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 1: think Matt Jones is running pretty well. They they they

1096
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: need other players like Jamison Crowder and Matt Jones and

1097
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Read and and Sua Cravens on their defense to

1098
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: be special because it's like, we know who Kirk Cousins

1099
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be. It's not like he's gonna suddenly change

1100
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: and be way better or way worse. He He's there.

1101
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: He's there. If I told you, though, that Cleveland would

1102
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: have held Jamison Crowder and de Shawn Jackson to have

1103
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: combined three catches for twenty six yards, I would have

1104
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: liked Cleveland's chances to hang around in this game. But

1105
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: it was Jordan Reid. Cleveland's one of the worst teams

1106
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: in the league gainst tight ends, and they used Jordan

1107
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: Read the right way today. This is the most frustrated

1108
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: I've seen you after a Brown's loss, probably in a

1109
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 1: year and a half. Yeah, I was surprised. I thought

1110
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: the same thing when I look at their team. Terrelle

1111
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: Pryor is mush musty TV Isaiah Crowell. I believe a

1112
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: second in the NFL, and rushing Duke Johnson is one

1113
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: of the best third downbacks in the league. Gary Barnage

1114
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: is a Pro Bowl tight end. Corey Coleman is a

1115
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 1: dynamic young receiver. I think for the first time, there's

1116
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: really some promising signs, at least for the offense. Yeah,

1117
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm not like I was seething in the news room largely,

1118
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: and this is just an honest comment. It's a hard

1119
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: place to watch football when your team is going through

1120
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: embarrassing stretches and there's people all over the place. You three, no,

1121
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: not to say a word to me, but it's just general.

1122
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: I get it. It's just basically that the environment we're in.

1123
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 1: But if it were real life, if you were at home,

1124
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: you turn the TV off and go take a long walk.

1125
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: You got you got another six hours of raging through

1126
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: games and analysis where it's like your day has been spoiled.

1127
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not upset at the Browns because I agree

1128
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 1: with you. Hugh Jackson has done a good job coaching,

1129
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: but he got he didn't get out coach today. But

1130
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: the turnovers when you're a team with outstar players, you

1131
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: have to play perfect football to beat teams on the road.

1132
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: You can't give up turnovers. Though you're annoyed by that,

1133
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,720
Speaker 1: that fumball call. Well, the fumble call to Duke Johnson

1134
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: is very suspicious. I'm annoyed because you know, you could

1135
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: have Corey Coleman on the field. You could have Josh

1136
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 1: Gordon if he had his life together. It's like potential

1137
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 1: being taken away week after week. You were angry today, Well,

1138
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm so how much? How because you know what people

1139
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: are like, Oh, that's a pretty good game, Like how

1140
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: excited am I supposed to be about being? Oh and

1141
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: for the last winless team in the league, if you're

1142
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: a fan of that, it's been too long my theory. Yeah.

1143
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 1: And also you you locked up the Browns this week.

1144
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: You thought this was going to happen, and I listen,

1145
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: all I did was right back to Redskin's fans. Good

1146
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: for you. I'm happy for you. You won the game. Congratulations,

1147
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, come on, give me a break.

1148
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: On Twitter? Well, we haven't, am I crazy? That? Yeah?

1149
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: That the tweets I think is will probably put it

1150
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: over the top. Have we even had a show since

1151
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon checked himself? We have not rehab And then

1152
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: probably what we did it happened live just broke it

1153
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: just as big a story that's right. That that the

1154
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: that the Browns plans are releasing because that is a

1155
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: significant chapter ending in Gordon's corell. I don't think they should.

1156
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: I don't like that, but but that that's our he's

1157
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna want You wanna talk about it about Ravens and

1158
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: go for two thousand yards Like at the end, the

1159
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: Browns gave to this guy so many changes. It's just

1160
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: that he's gonna rat. He's gonna fold right into another organization.

1161
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: And that's the fear, because it's it's out. There is

1162
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 1: a real fear. He's still in the preseason, he looks

1163
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: unbelievably awesome, or he never plays another snap because he

1164
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: just can't get it together, or he and I know whatever.

1165
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: We've discussed the Browns enough, but I mean it's there

1166
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: is a fear of that. Yes, let's move on, guys.

1167
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: Drew Brees through two touchdown passes in the final five

1168
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: minutes of play, rallying the New ault In Saints to

1169
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: a thirty five thirty four win on Sunday against the

1170
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers. The Chargers who cannot close a game?

1171
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: You wanna talk about team that can't close? Charges blew

1172
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: a thirteen point lead with two killer turnovers in the

1173
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: second half. Mr Rosenthal, Greg Rosenthal or the Chargers the

1174
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: best one in three team in NFL history? Sure? Absolutely,

1175
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: They're the most frustrating team I think there could be

1176
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: in the entire league to root for right now, and

1177
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: there's plenty of candidates. It's from another angle, the Chargers.

1178
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: I was banging this drum last week, and then what

1179
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: do they do? They got a thirteen point lead with

1180
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: the ball, not just in the second half, with seven

1181
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: minutes to go. You got the ball, you got a

1182
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: thirteen point lead, and you're playing backups all across the

1183
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: field for the scenes. What do you do? Melvin Gordon

1184
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 1: fumbles the ball? You gave up a touchdown. Okay, we're

1185
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: still up six. We got the ball, there's under five

1186
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: minutes left. The very next play, Travis Benjamin catches the

1187
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers pass with no one around him. He just

1188
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: drops it like he's got money on the game or something,

1189
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: and that, of course not. He was. He was really

1190
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: distraught after he was on the he was on the

1191
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: bench with his head in his hands. I mean, it

1192
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: hurt him. In the Saints, of course, it wasn't. On

1193
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: the phone with his book. The Saints, of course go

1194
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: right in for a touchdown. Even with all that, you

1195
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: get the ball back to Philip Rivers, plenty of time left,

1196
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: a time out, only need a field goal to win.

1197
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: They go backwards and he winds up throwing an interception.

1198
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: The way they lose these games is just unreal. So

1199
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: we can't even pin this one on Mike McCoy's penchant

1200
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: for following the Mike McCarthy game plan with the lead.

1201
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: I've I've heard a lot of Mike McCoy like, you

1202
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: gotta fire him now. It's like his two players fumbled

1203
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: and the problem is his defense. And and John pagan

1204
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: has been there, I believe the whole time with McCoy

1205
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: has a penchant for never making a stop when he could.

1206
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: It's not like they had to give the Saints those

1207
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. If you don't games Pagano, your job is

1208
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: on the line. Well, and you don't fire Mike McCoy

1209
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: when that would make Ken wizzen Hunt probably your head coach.

1210
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: What does that solve? I mean, now I'm saying you

1211
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: could put I mean, you could put together quite a

1212
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: painful scissor reel of the last two years for this team,

1213
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: Philip rivers, and some of it goes on the quarterback,

1214
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: of course, But in this game, you know that this

1215
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: team has had so many terrible losses, like the last

1216
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: two years, we're gonna go back to that New England

1217
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: playoff games for those playoff losses to the Jets. This

1218
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,959
Speaker 1: team knows how to blow a game. My god, it's

1219
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: crazy because they could be four now, Greg One thing,

1220
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: because we saw we saw, you know, New Orleans get

1221
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 1: carved up through the air and on the ground against Atlanta,

1222
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: which is obviously a very good offensive team. But I'm

1223
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: looking at Melvin Gordon nineteen carries, thirty six yards and

1224
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: at one point nine average, two touchdowns. That's fine. I'm

1225
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 1: sure that came in what short yardage work whoever. But

1226
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: what's what happened with him today? The States defense held

1227
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: them to threety six yards. It's not like they kept

1228
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: them off the scoreboard or anything. So I'm not gonna

1229
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: give them too much credit for that. They did make

1230
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: the stop when when it mattered, the defense helped win

1231
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: the game. The second half they and which is thirty

1232
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: four points. Yeah. Well, but when you're talking about the

1233
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: stay its thought Monday night, they were an embarrassment in

1234
01:00:53,640 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: their own and now they Despairly's the stay puff marshmallow man.

1235
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: The bigger he gets, the heavier he gets, the more

1236
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 1: intimidating he is. And and what might be the final

1237
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: that's true. Bringing Nick Fairly to New Orleans has been

1238
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: we give him a lot of we give the Saints

1239
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: for an office, a lot of you know, a lot

1240
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: of guff around here. But it was a move of

1241
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: evil genius. Let's let Fairly go to all the New

1242
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: Orleans restaurants and suddenly he's can't block justin. That's who

1243
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: he was always gonna be. They just letting him in,

1244
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: embrace his destiny, and the way we go, that's team building,

1245
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Let's move on, gentlemen. The Denver Broncos are

1246
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: four and oh and cruising a easy twenty seven seven

1247
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: win over Greg's boys the Bucks. With a trouble in

1248
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Tampa game in which Trevor Simeon and the Broncos went

1249
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 1: down with a shoulder injury. Looked serious, but it looks

1250
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: like they're saying it's a day to day injury. And

1251
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: he could even have gone back in this game if

1252
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't a laugher but Paxson Lynch stepped in. Looks

1253
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: like he fair pretty well and the Broncos just kind

1254
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,959
Speaker 1: of cruise against uh greg a team in Tampa which

1255
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: might not be very good. They don't look good at all.

1256
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be remembered by a keep to

1257
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: leave when he retires. It's probably one of the greatest

1258
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: moments of his football life. I mean, he's had some

1259
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: great ones. He won a Super Bowl, but he had

1260
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: two interceptions in the first twenty minutes of this game

1261
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: that we're both incredible interceptions where he baited Jamis Winston

1262
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: into making bad throw. The Broncos scored two touchdowns on

1263
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: short fields and a keep to leeb a guy that

1264
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: got drafted there had a lot of ups and downs

1265
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: by this with this organization. That's what happens when you

1266
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: give up on troubled players. Well they had in Toleive's case,

1267
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: they really did have no choice, I believe, with the

1268
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: circumstances and everything around him and everything that happened. But

1269
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: to go back in there and basically serve your team

1270
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: up the win, that's pretty sweet for him. Well, first

1271
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: of all, we couldn't have been more wrong about the

1272
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Broncos in August. This is one of the best teams

1273
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: in the league, and we picked him not to make

1274
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Also, yeah, thank you, by the way, summertime

1275
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: hot takes. Thank you Eugeniuses for not taking me up

1276
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: on my Francos will not make a playoff, but I could.

1277
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: I said, I'm already gonna be out six sandwiches because

1278
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: of the bucks. Well at that at that time, at

1279
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: that time, we were concerned that not only Mark Sanchez

1280
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: would start games, but a guy named Trevor Simeon that

1281
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: none of us trusted, and Paxiston Lynch and people said

1282
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: was not ready for prime time. Instead, John Elway, perhaps

1283
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: the best general manager in football right now, has found

1284
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: not one quarterback but two. John Elway pulling the strings

1285
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: and Gary Kubiak. You know, John Elway made that higher,

1286
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: which was very surprising higher at the time. Gary Kubiak

1287
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: gets these guys ready to play. Let's hear about Paxton Lynch.

1288
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: You you were saying in the newsroom, you don't know

1289
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: if maybe they say Trevor simmeons sit this one out.

1290
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Bregg in the newsroom called Paxston Lynch and quotes the

1291
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: best quarterback you've ever seen. Uh he has got a

1292
01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: live arm that you don't see. I don't know. He

1293
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: might have the biggest arm in the NFL. He's certainly

1294
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: in the mix of just fastballs. I mean, just the

1295
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: ball coming out of his hands is incredible. Does he

1296
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: give that offense something they don't have when Simeons in there? Sure,

1297
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be able to push the ball

1298
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: down the field. He looked pretty comfortable under center, which

1299
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: he didn't do a lot of in college. He also

1300
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: missed on some some throws for sure in this game.

1301
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: All I mean is that I don't think Gary Kubiak

1302
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 1: is gonna mind having him in the lineup. If Simeons

1303
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: kind of iffy, let's let's give this guy some game reps.

1304
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they minded this situation at all. He

1305
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: comes in with a couple score lead. Uh, it's an

1306
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: easy situation. Let's get our first round pick in the mix. Yeah,

1307
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: it's the new model with rookie quarterbacks. Not we sit

1308
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: them for three years, but we sent them for a

1309
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 1: month and a half, get them practice time, get them

1310
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: acclimated with the NFL, and then they look ready to roll. Well.

1311
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: I think the one thing we have learned is that

1312
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: there is no one way to do it. It totally

1313
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: depends on what they did in college. And I understand

1314
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, who didn't need didn't even go under the

1315
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 1: huddle and took all his plays from a que card

1316
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: on the sideline, is not as close to a guy

1317
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott or Carson Wentz. And for the Broncos,

1318
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of like who cares who's at quarterback. It's

1319
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: they proved that last year they want a Super Bowl

1320
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: with some of the worst quarterback play in the league.

1321
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: Their defense is so good it's incredible. I mean, it's

1322
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses we've ever seen last year

1323
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: and they've probably been better this year. Derek Wolfe was

1324
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: insane in this game. I think five QB hits was

1325
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: all over there. And that was the other part of

1326
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: the logic going into the season that the defense rarely

1327
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: does a historic defense go back to back like that

1328
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: and looks like they're they have not lost a step.

1329
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: So the defense is just as good, their quarterback play

1330
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: is better, and C. J. Anderson looks like he's the

1331
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: good C J. Anderson this year. Added all up, Broncos

1332
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:44,439
Speaker 1: are four alright. Jamis Winston by the way too way,

1333
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,919
Speaker 1: too many turnovers. Well, it doesn't help when you don't

1334
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: have Doug Martin in there. And Charles Simmons was banged

1335
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: up today. That's that's the like every quarterback that plays

1336
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: the Broncos. He was a pinata. I think he was

1337
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: hit thirteen times in the first twenty nine times we

1338
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: dropped back. Well, I think we found out that Charles

1339
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: Simms is a one B like we expected. He's not

1340
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna he's He's a robin, not a batman.

1341
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: He's hurt them the last two weeks. He's made bone

1342
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: headed plays, bouncing it a fumbled again this week. Don't

1343
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: saddle Charles sims up for between the tackles. You get

1344
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: him on the perimeter. I'm sorry. What about the Bucks?

1345
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: Are you feeling down? Look, I'm gonna be watching this

1346
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: team and and be rooting for them. They're not a

1347
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: team that was ever gonna win eleven games. There are

1348
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: never gonna be in the team of eighty. Come over

1349
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: to my house. I'm gonna turn the lights out, sit

1350
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: in my backyard and drinking. Did you feel Mark a

1351
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: little justified in your viewpoint on the Buccaneers in the stadium.

1352
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: After all the tweets you got today I did and

1353
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: whole by the way, two weeks in a row, you

1354
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: can you had to propostpone the game because of weather.

1355
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Slow down, Tampa with your weather. Can we get it together?

1356
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: Either it's ridiculous sunlight on the field which is impossible

1357
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: to watch, or you're delaying the game because of thunder

1358
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: and light Well you want to talk about ridiculous. No,

1359
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I think you guys are ranting and raving about the

1360
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: sunlight in Tampa. Now you're ranting and raving about the

1361
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: lightning and Tampa. Yeah, that's right, we're upset about you know,

1362
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: pick a lane. I don't. I don't care about the lightning.

1363
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: I have for more rain in Tampa. Yeah. I never

1364
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: had that big of an issue with the sun. It's

1365
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: just at the road uniforms and make me physically ill.

1366
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's move on, which takes us to

1367
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football Sunday night, Yes, in front of Al

1368
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: Chris and the world. There to a half time just

1369
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Did a great job tonight podcast? Yeah,

1370
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: Bob Costas was there too. He's under contract the nominal

1371
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: job the Pittsburgh Steelers whooped up on the Kansas City Chiefs,

1372
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 1: and let's pull back the curtain a little bit. We're

1373
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: sitting here. We take the first part of the podcast,

1374
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: the main part of the show, where we went over

1375
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 1: all the other Sunday games. Usually we settle in as

1376
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: a group when we enjoy the second half of the

1377
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Sunday night game, and we come back after the games

1378
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: over and knock it out. But it's thirty six nothing

1379
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: at one point, and we just decide, you know, it's

1380
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: a fourth quarter, let's just record this damn point. Let's

1381
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: not give the Chiefs the respect of waiting till the

1382
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: end of this game. So as we speak, it's thirty

1383
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: six seven with eleven minutes to play. But what else

1384
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: do you need to know? That the Pittsburgh Steelers dominant

1385
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: five touchdowns from Ben Roethlisberger. In fact, thirty six seven

1386
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: looks too close. How don't we figure out these teams?

1387
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: The Steelers, I believe it, gone thirteen straight possessions without

1388
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown before they went five straight possessions with

1389
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown in this game. And I can't figure out

1390
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:41,440
Speaker 1: who these teams are. Well, it's impossible to gauge emotion

1391
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: from a football team, and it's like you don't put

1392
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 1: that into the analysis before the game. But whatever, the

1393
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: Steelers were coming off a big physical win at home

1394
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,520
Speaker 1: against the division rival. They really wanted to beat Cincinnati.

1395
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 1: They didn't have it the next week, and it seemed

1396
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 1: like they were woken up by that. And Mike Tomlin

1397
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: was talking about it all all week that this is

1398
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: gonna be the night that that we go back. They're

1399
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 1: the Christian, Christian Michael a football team. I mean, Dan

1400
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: talked about watching Alright, really Sydney, I gotta hear her again.

1401
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: Why don't we just play that on loop fifty times?

1402
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: Give the people what they want? I mean, Dan talked

1403
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 1: about the Jets no, no, I know, going up against Yeah,

1404
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure you did, going up against Seattle and just

1405
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: saying it's it's litmus test. You're not there yet if

1406
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: you're the Jets. And I talked about the Chiefs before

1407
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: the season, over confidently as an a f C championship

1408
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 1: type team that would probably fall but get to the

1409
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: final four. Well nonsense, because no matter what happens from

1410
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: here on out, in the game like this, you find

1411
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: out that the Chiefs, after all their pretty words and

1412
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 1: all their off season constructions. You aren't there, well you know,

1413
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: and you want you waste you waste three hours of

1414
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: my time. Yeah, I think rough day for Mark. I

1415
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: same thing though. Sometimes you just throw a game out,

1416
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: and I think that the Chiefs got overwhelmed here they're

1417
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: down twenty two nothing in a blink. The Steelers last

1418
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: game too. Well, you're also playing in a gully washer.

1419
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: It's a gully washer, which is a driving rainstorm for

1420
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:14,600
Speaker 1: people not from the South. Um. But no, sometimes you

1421
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: just throw everybody. Every team deserves a mulligan. I think

1422
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots gonna get a mulligan for today. I think

1423
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 1: the I think the Jets last week I thought it

1424
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: was a mulligan. I think the Chiefs this week is

1425
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: a mulligan. I'm ready to write, all right, you're right

1426
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. It's not the final judgment on them tonight.

1427
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: But I already looked at the Chiefs as a team

1428
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: that has refused to enter that top tier of four

1429
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 1: or five six teams. They're on the fringe, and at

1430
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: some point you've got to make a statement on the

1431
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: road against a good other team. It's not it's not

1432
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 1: a close game. They lost. They got level. It's not

1433
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: one game though that you need to look at for

1434
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, it's four For their offense. I thought their

1435
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: offense was gonna come into this year. On another level,

1436
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 1: I would say they're off has been significantly worse this

1437
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: year than they were a year ago. The only the

1438
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 1: only ten points offensively against the Jets until late in

1439
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: that game had nothing to do against the Texans, And

1440
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: so that they need to be an offense first team.

1441
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: I know that sounds weird, but they need to be

1442
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: better on offense. They haven't been. Let's see what happens

1443
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: on Jamal Charles. He did get on the field of

1444
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: this game. Uh one carry by the time we were

1445
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: midway through the fourth quarter here, So they're just we're

1446
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,680
Speaker 1: easing them back in. I know they did they did

1447
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: damage without him last year, but I want to see

1448
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: how that goes. I think, you know, on the road

1449
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Pittsburgh, Levy on Bell back Pittsburgh coming off

1450
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: an embarrassing loss, maybe on Bell big numbers, just like

1451
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: he always Yeah, he looked good. It just felt like

1452
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 1: a buzz saw and it reminded us. Okay, the Steelers

1453
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: had a bad week, but there's still the Steelers and

1454
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. That's gonna always be a hard game, and

1455
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs just weren't up to it. That's why I

1456
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,719
Speaker 1: saw this. So is it? It just feels like the league.

1457
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: This is something we were mentioning to each other that

1458
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:56,839
Speaker 1: whatever happens in week three, week four has zero bearing

1459
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 1: almost on Week five outside of a couple of teams

1460
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: in the league that are fremely consistent. I mean, the results,

1461
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: the pendulum swing from one Sunday to the next is wild,

1462
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 1: completely unpredictable sport. So I never liked predicting. Like one game,

1463
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, for a second, this this game and

1464
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: nothing else backed me out of thinking. Watching last week,

1465
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: I kind of was watching this chief team and I

1466
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: saw Tyreek Hill, who's really fun to watch, and then

1467
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: your boy Marcus Peters, who's really fun to watch. Eric

1468
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: Berry's come out of the gate swing and looking pretty

1469
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: good this year. Travis Kelsey's fun to watch. And I

1470
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: had this thought over the weekend, are the Chiefs actually

1471
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 1: fun to watch? And then here we go, Welcome to right,

1472
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: Welcome to Greg's weekend um and and poor Alan Chris.

1473
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,879
Speaker 1: By the end of the third quarter, there they're connecting

1474
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown to Arnold Palmer and then they're they're talking

1475
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: about Vince Scully. The great Dodgers announcer also announced the

1476
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: catch game. I mean they're emptying out their barrel for

1477
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: things to talk about, but such as life when when

1478
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: the game is uh this far out of reach, Well,

1479
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 1: this is where you make your money as a broadcaster,

1480
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 1: and I mean, you know, bad ones can't get through it.

1481
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,640
Speaker 1: These two did a fair job and we won't need

1482
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: to find out if they continue to do it, because

1483
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna stop watching it. With the much of the

1484
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: fourth quarter left, the conversation between Alan Chris was not

1485
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,719
Speaker 1: nearly as meandering as the one in this podcast studio

1486
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: for the for the past hour. Uh yeah, okay, So

1487
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: that enough is enough. That is all of the Sunday action.

1488
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: There's one more game, a game I'm looking forward to,

1489
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: the New York Giants in Minnesota Vikings on Monday night.

1490
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: The next time you'll hear from us will be Tuesday,
