1
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Walk up to NFL Daily presented by Draft Kings Sports Book,

2
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: where we're out of our walking boot. I am Greg

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: Rosenthal here in the Chris Wesleyan Podcast studio with Steve

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Weisch and Patrick Claybond.

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: Maybe Justin Herbert's back this week, Baby, he's not.

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 3: Who knows it's it'd be tough to imagine.

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 4: We had this conversation with Jordan Love, Like last week

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 4: we were watched a guy like hobble out there and

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 4: throw one pass a practice. Some people like Love's back

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 4: and it's like, wait, why would why would they do

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 4: that here so early in the season. I understand they

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 4: lost last week, Steve, but this, this is.

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 5: What Jim Harbaugh was like, Well, we had him up

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 5: there gats Alex High School with the TJ.

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: Why what's right?

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 5: You know, let's go ahead and put him out there, get Stone,

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 5: Cole Jones and at George, Carl Aftis and and Dana

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 5: and all of you know.

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: He could ticket handle it.

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: It is crazy. We'll get to that game soon.

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: But yes, Justin Herbert is progressing, according to Harbor, and

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: that just was was sticking in my mind. How badly

23
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: like these teams want to win this game for to us,

24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: it feels early week four, But like if you've just

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: had a loss in your Jim Harbaugh or you're one

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: of these zero to three teams, it feels late.

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: They gotta gotta get a w.

28
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: You never have to balance out anything to say Jim Harbaugh. Yeah.

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: Now when you're you're watching Taylor Heinekee you practice, you

30
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 4: look over herbo and you're like, all right, man, let's

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: get that hyper hyperbolic chamber. Not the hyperbolic chamber.

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: That's all. That's DVZ. What was What was t o

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: N is the.

34
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 5: You're killing Greg though. I mean if you don't mention

35
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 5: an Eastern stick's name like.

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: Greg, No, No, that's good. No, I'm glad it should

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: be Taylor Heineke. That's not the first game we're gonna

38
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: mention it. It's the second. Because we're going from the

39
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: biggest to the smallest spreads this week, we're just we're

40
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: just flipping it on its head.

41
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 4: Because the league has been flipping it on its head

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: because man, big favorites have been coming up short time

43
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: after time again, including a team that we saw win

44
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: in Week one and that is the New England Patriots.

45
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 4: But they're having to come all the way out here

46
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: to Santa Clara to take on the forty nine Ers,

47
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: who are a ten point favorite. Despite all of the injuries,

48
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: we spent portions of the game with no Trent Williams,

49
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: no George Kittle, Brandon Ayuk was playing, Deebo Samuel wasn't.

50
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: Of course, Juwan Jennings goes off Greg ten points.

51
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy.

52
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: Although I'm afraid of taking the Patriots in any scenario

53
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: after me and you Patrick both took them straight up

54
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: last week and it was the most one sided game

55
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: this side of Buffalo Jacksonville. Yeah, that's too much for me.

56
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if I had to choose it, I'm taking

57
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: the points there. And yet I certainly would take the

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: forty nine ers because look, their quarterback is playing outstanding.

59
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go positive and say that was one of

60
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: the best Black Black party games I ever saw. When

61
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: I turned on that tape and I went through, I

62
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: was like, did he have almost a perfect day? I mean,

63
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: he's he's running the ball, well, the guys aren't that open.

64
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: He had the second highest tight window throw rate in

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: the league so far this season, so you haven't seen

66
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: a lot of open receivers. There's not a lot of

67
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: yak right now, so their offense is a little off.

68
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: But Jordan Mason is a good running back. They're moving

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: the ball, and perty I think is showing he actually

70
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: can elevate. He just needs some help from his defense

71
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: and special teams. The offense really hasn't been the problem.

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 5: Well, I wouldn't hurt if Brandon Ayuke held onto the ball. Yes,

73
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 5: he is off to a tough start, and once he

74
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: gets going, then this offense is going to open up.

75
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

76
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 5: Ten is way too big of a number because his

77
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 5: Patriot's defense is pretty good. I mean, for everything you

78
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 5: just said about Brock Purt, his Patriots defense is not bad.

79
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: Okay, can I push back on that just a little bit,

80
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: Like that's what I thought coming into the year, But

81
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: in reality the last two weeks, their front's been pushed

82
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Christian Gonzales is good, but I

83
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know. They were kind of dominated last week against

84
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: the Jets and just up front.

85
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't thrilled against this.

86
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 5: I'm checking that. It's just like, Okay, Week three was nuts.

87
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 5: I think they'll be better this week. I just the

88
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 5: ten points is a lot that over unders thirty nine

89
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 5: point five probably on the mark, because I wouldn't be

90
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: surprised if by the fourth quarter we are seeing Tom

91
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: Drake May a lot more conversation about Drake May getting

92
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: playing time, getting thirty percent or more of the first

93
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 5: team reps. In practice, you can see Jacoby Brissett is

94
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: back on that turnstyle.

95
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: Well, then the thing is, maybe Jacoby is looking over

96
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 4: at this forty four point eight percent pressure rate that

97
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 4: the offensive line right is allowing. It says, all right, Rook,

98
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 4: go ahead there, get in there and try to make

99
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: it work, because it's I too would say that ten

100
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: points is too many. But then, having as Greg mentioned,

101
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: picked the Patriots to the Jets, I don't know if

102
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: ten points is going to be enough considering just how

103
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: poorly they protected Jacoby present throughout that game. And then

104
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 4: on the other side, brock Party he and Joe Burrow

105
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: have legitimate complaints as two guys that played spectacular football

106
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: in Week three and still came up with the loss.

107
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 4: It's just the universe collaborating to make sure it didn't happen.

108
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: Right, So this is, you know, the a two time

109
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: NFC championship team in the forty nine, coming off a loss,

110
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: knowing that they need a win, you kind of trust

111
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: them in this spot. But the case for the Patriots

112
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: keeping it close is, hey, this is one front actually

113
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: that the Patriots might be able to protect Jacoby. This

114
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: has been a bad defense. They haven't been able to

115
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: rush the passer. It's Bosa and not much else up front.

116
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: They have some weaknesses in coverage with Campbell and Isaac

117
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: Yadam has been struggled. Their special teams is among the

118
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: worst in the league, killing them every week. So it's

119
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: a game where they could they could. I think Jacoby

120
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: is going to survive and play maybe his best game

121
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: of the year because of the matchup.

122
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 5: Remember Javon Hargraves out for the year too, tourist triceps,

123
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 5: so you know, the stud interior tackle that's an issue.

124
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 5: But I was about to say that one thing about

125
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: the Niners defensively, they have got to be sick. They

126
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 5: could not get the Rams off the field in the

127
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: second half, especially on third down last week. They're getting

128
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 5: hit on all kinds of intermediate routes. They're going to

129
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 5: have to tighten some things up if they're going to

130
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: continue to be the supposed dominant team in the NFC.

131
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: Then again, that was Sean mcaher running it up.

132
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Show me something, Alex van Pel, I need to see

133
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: a little something.

134
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, what if I told you got your lunch taken

135
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 4: sixty percent of the time that you walked into the cafeteria.

136
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: The Patriots are getting hit behind the line of scrimmage

137
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: fifty eight percent of the time on their carriers. It's

138
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: bad at ten points. Ten points, might be might be irrational.

139
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 4: The second biggest spread of the week is right over there,

140
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 4: across the other side of the building and across the

141
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: street from US at SOFI Stadium. The Kansas City Chiefs

142
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 4: seven and a half point favorites at the Chargers. Jim Nantz,

143
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 4: Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson on the call, they're probably

144
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 4: in meetings looking at Justin Herbert's ankle. We're going to

145
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: be doing that all week, trying to figure out who's

146
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: actually going to start Steve. Regardless, the Chargers could be

147
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 4: in a tough situation.

148
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 5: Seven and a half is too big for me, just

149
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 5: because the Chiefs are going to make it tight no

150
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: matter what.

151
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: They're just that team.

152
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 5: They don't wipe teams out, you know, Jim Harball will

153
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 5: have the Chargers regardless if it's Taylor Heineke, whomever fired

154
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 5: up to play this game. You know, the Chiefs are

155
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 5: having to grind out every win. I do think this

156
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: is gonna be a big Travis Kelcey game. The Chargers

157
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 5: number Derwin James is suspended for this game, so they

158
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 5: don't have the matchup that's gonna afford, you know, to

159
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 5: put a man on Kelsey.

160
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: They're gonna be zone.

161
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 5: We know Kelsey is the big zone beater, so for

162
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 5: all the questions about him, I think he's gonna go off.

163
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: You know, we're gonna see more of that guy there,

164
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: Rashie Rice, who's outstanding. But seven and a half just

165
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 5: too big of a number. I think the Chiefs went

166
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 5: out right, but to seven.

167
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: And a half.

168
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we're I should have mentioned at the top

169
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: last week we were bold, we were united, and we survived.

170
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: We picked as a Seattle Seahawks as a team together.

171
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: After yeah, it didn't go so well the first few weeks.

172
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: We wanted to jump back in and help everyone in

173
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: their survivor polls. That wasn't the biggest spread of the week,

174
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: but we're gonna pick up again today as a team.

175
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: As a team preview show team, I think the Chiefs

176
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: are great option. You're saying that the Chargers might keep

177
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: it close. Taylor Heineke is either he's starting this game,

178
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: and he actually had a very high PFF scored last week.

179
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: I was like, how did that happen? Then I went

180
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: back and watched he threw two passes in the game.

181
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: One of them was nice. I was like, that was

182
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: a nice pass. So they you know, that's how the

183
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: grades work out. I guess it's sort of perfect.

184
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: Might only right.

185
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: It was very nice, kind of second level over the

186
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: defender type of throw.

187
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: I'd give them a chance with Taylor Heineke to keep

188
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: it close, but not much of one eastern stick.

189
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: I wouldn't give him any. But here here's the problem.

190
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: Your favorite player.

191
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: Joe Alt might be missing this game. Is going to

192
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: miss this game. Rayshawn Slater might miss this game. Joey

193
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: Bosa might miss this game. Herbert is clearly not right.

194
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: Those are their five best players, Like, make a list

195
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: of their best players. I'm I'm happy getting the Survivor pick.

196
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: Are you guys? Are you guys with me on this one?

197
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: I'm with you? On this one. OK.

198
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 4: Again, I'm somes been touchy this. It's gonna be Steve,

199
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: because again Steve, we're gonna have to do this.

200
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: Because you guys let me come in and cheat on this.

201
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 5: You let me come in week two, so.

202
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: We're all we're all cheating and if we lose, it'll

203
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: it'll end. But I think we're going to go rest

204
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: of the season.

205
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: But it's not just us.

206
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 4: It's about the folks who have somehow managed to survived

207
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: to this point in this chaotic Survivor League season thus far.

208
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 4: We want to give them an option, and I feel like,

209
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: considering the injuries mounting on the Chargers, their difficulty dealing

210
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 4: with this team in general, it feels like a safer

211
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 4: pick for me.

212
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is that the Chiefs have kind

213
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: of become a running team, and I think that's a

214
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: good way to beat this Chargers team.

215
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 2: Like they're number one in the NFL and success rate.

216
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: There's like a stat where it's rushing attempts over expected,

217
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: just like in certain situations, would you expect them to

218
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: run or pass the ball? And the Chiefs are always

219
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, they're way over you know, in terms of

220
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: they pass way more than they run than you would.

221
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: Expect this year. Actually, they run even in passing situations.

222
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: They run because.

223
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: Everyone's just playing back and they're they're great at running

224
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: the ball and picking up those four to five yards

225
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: even with Carson Steel number one running back in the

226
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: league in terms of success right.

227
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: And Kareem Hunt could be playing this week. It sounds

228
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: like he's gonna play this.

229
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: That would be cool.

230
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: And Patrick Mahomes, it's like he's not really dazzling right now,

231
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: but he's he's a humble man and he's just happy

232
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: to take those four yards handing.

233
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: The ball off because it's it's working and much to

234
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 4: his chagrin, and he talks about, you know, disappointing performances like, okay,

235
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: Patrick won the Super Bowl.

236
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 3: It's like trying to enjoy.

237
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: Things, but he's kind of been dil of disappointing.

238
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 5: It's the same stuff we were saying, No, this is more,

239
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 5: this is more, this is more, but it's it's it's

240
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 5: gonna it's gonna happen. It's it's gonna open up.

241
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: I just got I just say when when it's Juju

242
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: and Kelsey out there, that's one of the slowest teams

243
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

244
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but way too worthy in Hollywood. Caron come back.

245
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: It's still early.

246
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: Big Big Red said, don't worry, Travis doesn't washed the

247
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 4: defense are not treating it.

248
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 5: Patrick Creank's got the guys who need a tugboat to

249
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 5: get off the line of scrim Wow.

250
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: I definitely have some juju bitterness about the New England Days.

251
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 4: Got men zone last week's speaking of a success last week,

252
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: let's go to the Denver Broncos who went on the

253
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 4: road down to Tampa Bay and got a win over

254
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 4: the previously unbeaten Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now they are

255
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 4: seven and a half point underdogs at Aaron Rodgers and

256
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 4: the New York Jets. Ian Eagle Charles Davis or dear

257
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: friend and Evan Washburn on the call. Greg was that

258
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: the Patriots or was that the Jets?

259
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: It was both. That was the best Jets game.

260
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: It was a short week Thursday night football, But most

261
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: importantly it was Aaron Rodgers showing that he can be

262
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and that the Jets defense. I'll bring up

263
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: the defense first. I think can be flexible, Like maybe

264
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: they don't have the peer pass rushers that they need

265
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: to beat the top level competition. But in the last

266
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: two weeks you've actually seen Robert Sala, who kind of

267
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: runs what he runs usually get very creative, show very

268
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: different fronts against the Tennessee where they only had a

269
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: couple of linemen and then they're doing all sorts off

270
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: and then blitz like crazy against the Patriots, and you

271
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: know what, it worked like he can mix it up.

272
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: You have an outstanding secondary. Maybe you don't have TJ.

273
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Moseley at linebacker this week. We'll have to go see.

274
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: But you have a lot that you like.

275
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: Going up against BONICKX.

276
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: Seven and a half is too small for this one. Okay,

277
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 5: I'm I'm gonna wowa peel the layer back had a

278
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 5: conversation with Sala this summer or the spring, I should

279
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 5: say they're still they're still feeling though. Sean Payton remarks,

280
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 5: spot Nathaniel Hackett. Remember, oh, even though the Jets got that,

281
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 5: even though the Jets beat him last year, Aaron Rodgers

282
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: didn't get to play. Remember keep my coach's name out

283
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 5: of your mouth, Aaron Rodgers. He gets to play in

284
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 5: this one. So if you, hey, they made Nate Nate

285
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 5: Hackett might be like, hey, Aaron taking knee right here,

286
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 5: We're up twelve. Aaron's gonna be like check can can right,

287
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 5: going to play too, and he sent a Garrett Wilson

288
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 5: on the on the bus you canna get past Pats

289
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 5: or Tan. I think if the Jets have an opportunity,

290
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: they are going to exercise tail whipping in this one.

291
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: So Sala's talking about this matchup back in July.

292
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: Oh, there's still a little bitter takes. There's still a

293
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 3: little bitter taste. Hey, they're gonna try extra hard.

294
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: Glad Glad that that that's carried on throughout a couple

295
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 4: of seasons. Now I'm just Patrick tretan this this this season,

296
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: Mike Evans, George Pickens, DK Metcalf, he kind of they

297
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 4: kind of all got certained. And so now what we've

298
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 4: seen in the past couple of weeks like much too.

299
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 4: You know, which has been a problem for Garrett Wilson

300
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: fantasy managers is it doesn't have to be all Garrett

301
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 4: Wilson like it was for substantial points of last season.

302
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: Rogers can spread the ball around and so like the

303
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 4: biggest issue that the Broncos will will bring in, which

304
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: is certain con becomes a non issue. The way that

305
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: the Rogers and getting the ball out of his hand

306
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 4: are pretty quickly, And we're gonna have to figure out

307
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 4: if that was a one week blip or if if

308
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: bo Nicks in this offense are just this unders unstoppable.

309
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 5: Non non touchdown throwing bow knicks in this offense.

310
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: He came very close, though, he came very close.

311
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: I think Courtland Sutton was down at like the three

312
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: foot line and he.

313
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: Hit a couple of throws down the field in the

314
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: very first drive. After that, they let him work underneath.

315
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: They got it done. They're a very interesting matchup. They've

316
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: been blitzing like crazy more than any team in the league.

317
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: They will probably do that to Aaron Rodgers. We'll see

318
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: how he does. He fared well against pressure last week.

319
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: I thought that was one of the most noteworthy performances

320
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: of the young season. Just Rogers making plays outside the pocket. Yeah,

321
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: he looked at and looking like the old Rogers. And

322
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: to your point, Patrick, that the secondary guys and by

323
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: that I mean the other weapons, you know, Lazard and Conklin.

324
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: How Braylen Allen might be a better like it down

325
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: and down running back than Brece Hall. Breeshall is more explosive.

326
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: But I just mean, like he can be consistent and

327
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: maybe make brees Hall better by not having to give

328
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: him twenty five.

329
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: That's a hell of accommodation.

330
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 5: Remember, they're not going to have Morgan MoES just to

331
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 5: right tackle this game, so that's something to look out for.

332
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: But the fact that they're running the ball and they've

333
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 5: got two running backs who can break tackles and hit

334
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 5: you know, some big chunk plays with their speed and shiftiness,

335
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 5: I think that's something that's you know, going to allow

336
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 5: them to beat that.

337
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: Spread, right.

338
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: I trust I trust Rogers against these crazy defenses like

339
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: that was it like against New England. He knew what

340
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: they were doing when, whether they were in zone, whether

341
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: they're in man, whether they're moving before the step. He's like, man,

342
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: that dude was like a coach out there, knowing what

343
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: they're going to do. So I think he could probably

344
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: handle the splits. The Broncos, I did want to mention,

345
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: will be without their leading tackler one of their better

346
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: defensive players, Alex Singleton, is out for the season with

347
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: a torn acl came as a big surprise to the

348
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: Broncos and the team. He got hurt in the first

349
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: quarter last week, played the entire game with a torn

350
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: acl complained of knees soreness after the game or I

351
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: think even on Monday, and then it turned.

352
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: Out, Yeah, he's out for the years. So that's a

353
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: tough loss.

354
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: These guys are tough, dude, tough loss. Different. Wow.

355
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's brutal, and it's tough to even imagine not

356
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: just playing but finishing the game going through.

357
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: Fifty he didn't miss a snap, not even one.

358
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: That's that's bananas. Bananas.

359
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 4: Also bananas was the performance from the Jacksonville Jaguars are

360
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 4: Monday Night Football. Thankfully everybody had a second viewing option

361
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: on that one. They are going on the road after

362
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 4: getting blown out on the road in Buffalo to the

363
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 4: division rival Houston Texans, who are a seven point favorite.

364
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 4: But who's Steve also had a struggle fest performance against

365
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: Brian Flores's defense.

366
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: What else is new? Everybody's doing? Right? How do they

367
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: bounce back here in this one?

368
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 5: Steve, I have to tell you, first off, the seven points,

369
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 5: I don't know, it seems a little why just because

370
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 5: division game, well a division game. The Jags have won

371
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 5: the last two times they've played in Houston. But the

372
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 5: thing is, you know, as much as we like to

373
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 5: say every game players are motivated, nothing means more. This

374
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 5: is a very fragile time for the Jags. The next

375
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 5: two weeks, Houston and then the Colts. They have got

376
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 5: to win these two games because then they go to

377
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: London and where they play the Bears and Patriots. Okay,

378
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 5: we'll see what happens here. Then they come back against

379
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 5: the Packers, Eagles, Vikings Alliance. If they don't get some

380
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 5: momentum going right now, that stretch post London is going

381
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 5: to be a glee that's resume updating time.

382
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: So I think this is one Houston is they got.

383
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: They got embarrassed last week.

384
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 5: I mean, they played terrible on offense, their defense got

385
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 5: dragged just things that we hadn't seen. I mean, they

386
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 5: got completely carved up. So I expect Houston to play better.

387
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 5: But this is one where the Jaguars, if they don't

388
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 5: play their best game, they're in trouble and they're gonna

389
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 5: be out there leading Tacker Foyer, Luacun the inside linebacker,

390
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: and the way that defense just got out schemed Monday night,

391
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: I mean Josh Allen found every one on one matchup

392
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 5: in the intermediate passing game to gash them. If they

393
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 5: don't tighten some things up, it's gonna get real hot

394
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 5: for a lot of folks down there in Jacksonville.

395
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: They look like a poorly coach team. Yes, I'm just

396
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: talking about on offense. I mean a bad defensive performance.

397
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: The first couple of weeks, we're solid. It's a new coordinator.

398
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they're very talented, and they're down their

399
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: top three cornerbacks potentially for this week. They were last

400
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: week once that game started and they had another injury

401
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: in the back. So you're just not fighting with a

402
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: full deck. You're expecting your offense to at least keep

403
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: you in games. And that's where I think they haven't

404
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: looked like a well coached team because players aren't in

405
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: the right spot. Guys aren't making blocks that they're supposed

406
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: to make, there's formation penalties, there's confusion, and Trevor's not

407
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: making it better either. He's not playing well. He's kind

408
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: of playing down to the competition, and so that's a

409
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: tough spot. I know they beat Tamiko Ryans and the

410
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: Texans last year in Houston, but they split. Both games

411
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: were closed it's a division game. You would expect that

412
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: on some level. It's tough. This team has no identity.

413
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a tough spot. So I always actually

414
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: think it's almost a worse spot. When you're going up

415
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: against team that just lost, like a good team, like,

416
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: it always freshens you up a little bit. I feel

417
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: like the Texans will be on there. He's in cues

418
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: for this game.

419
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

420
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 4: The reason for concern would I mean, the reason for

421
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 4: optimism for Jacksonville would just be the familiarity. Yeah, other

422
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 4: than that, the play calling is not in syanc. In

423
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season, there were questions to Doug

424
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 4: Peterson whether he or press so who's actually making the calls,

425
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 4: like who's putting the game plan together? As the season

426
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 4: goes on and we've come up to a situation where

427
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: the Jags have the second deepest route depth in the

428
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 4: league right now. They got Gabe Davis and BTJ running

429
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 4: these deep routes. Yeah, Trevor's not being protected. He's negative

430
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 4: eleven and completion percentage above expectation when they don't run

431
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 4: reaction and so it's just all of these combinations.

432
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny though, because that was the thing

433
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: everyone got on them a year ago. It's like, this

434
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: is a dank and dunk offense, and then okay, let's

435
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: get two burners. Let's like listen to the criticism almost

436
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: and overreact the other way and just like make it

437
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: a bombs away offense. And they've over corrected too much

438
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: and they look like a team that don't know who

439
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: they are.

440
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: Now.

441
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: I do want to just say something about the texanstuff

442
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: I've been I'm into this team. I like him. Offensive No,

443
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be great. I think they're one of the

444
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: AFC offensively.

445
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: CJ.

446
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: Stroud Like there's something like they're not in sync with

447
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: their offense. He's playing well, but they're not consistently making plays.

448
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: Success rate is as a stat that measures just on

449
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: a play debate play basis, were you successful. He is

450
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: thirty second out of thirty five quarterbacks this year now,

451
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of other metrics and eye tests like

452
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: PFF is more about the great day to day great

453
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: or play to play great. He's doing well, QBR he's great,

454
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: Like he's playing well, but the passing game is just

455
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: relying on like great plays. But then there's a lot

456
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: of mistakes there's a lot of penalties, there's some miscommunicate.

457
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: Offensive line guys are good. There's a lot of negative plays,

458
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks, a lot of interceptions, a lot

459
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: of negative runs. So they they're kind of like this

460
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: boomer Bus offense. I think they're gonna get it together.

461
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: This is about early in the season. But it's just

462
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: interesting because they had a lot of continuity. I wouldn't

463
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: have expected them to be so uneven to start.

464
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 5: Once they get mixing back and pierced back. You know,

465
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 5: both their starting running backs have been out. That changes things. Okay,

466
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 5: it changes your protections and things like that. How you

467
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 5: do it? How are teams adjusting? Just Stefon Diggs right now,

468
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 5: they're gonna have to start shifting their attention to Nico Collins.

469
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 5: That's going to open up some other things as well.

470
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 5: But you're right, some of the negative players are having.

471
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 5: Laramie Tuntal has had I think a decent amount of

472
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 5: penalties here at left tackle. They will tighten that up.

473
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised if they tightened in a big

474
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 5: time this week. No with at stake, but yeah, I

475
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: mean preseason's over, right, we can get through all that

476
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 5: stuff now where we say the first three or four

477
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 5: games in the preseason, for these guys, it's over.

478
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 3: It's real now.

479
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 4: And it's also it's difficult to get healthier playing football.

480
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: Sometimes the people forget because Tank Dell had that broken

481
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 4: leg right last season, working his way back, actually got

482
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 4: shot in an incident. Yeah, in the off season, but

483
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 4: those these things take time. Unfortunately, the season is kind

484
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 4: of coalescing with that. But if he's able to get

485
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 4: kind of closer back to where he was last year

486
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 4: than I think the worries are.

487
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think this is the week they get healthy.

488
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: Those matchup problems for yeah, the Jaguars on the outside.

489
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break.

490
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: We'll be back on NFL Daily to crank through this

491
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: week for Slate. It's it's kind of like a show

492
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: me week for a couple of teams.

493
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: I'm just confused about. Get to that in a bit.

494
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: Back on NFL Daily. Excited to talk about the second

495
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: Monday night game. We got Gino in primetime.

496
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: Yes, it's primetime Gino and Geno Smith and the Seattle

497
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: Seahawks visiting the Detroit Lions, who are a four point

498
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 4: favorite at home. The over under is forty six and

499
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: a half. And if you go all the way back

500
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 4: to twenty two and me two, every single time these

501
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: two teams have played, that would not even be close

502
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 4: to enough. It was fifty one to twenty nine, and

503
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: twenty it was forty five to forty eight in the

504
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 4: second time they played, and then last year it was

505
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 4: thirty seven to thirty one in overtime. Craig, whenever you

506
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: get Gino and Jared Golf linked up, it's gonna be points.

507
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: It's been the games that I've enjoyed Among the games,

508
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed Gena the most watching him carve up this

509
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: Lions defense. But it's a better Lions defense this year.

510
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: They're great stopping the run, and so I don't think

511
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: Seattle is gonna even try that hard to run because

512
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: they have really struggled to open up holes. And against

513
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: Miami last week, they didn't look right for most of

514
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: the game trying to run the ball, And so I

515
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: think they look at this man coverage that Detroit likes

516
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: to play and they say, bet, you know, like all right,

517
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Carlton Davis, like go try, Terry and Arnold go try

518
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: like we got Jackson Smith and jig. But we got

519
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: dk Metcalff running choice routes like fifty yards down the field.

520
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: Whoever heard such a thing, And you got Tyler Lockett,

521
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: And that's just the way they're going to have to win.

522
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: I know the line isn't playing that well, but I

523
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: think Geno and his receivers can make up for it.

524
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, look the four points here.

525
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: I think that's that's probably about right, because I think

526
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 5: that Detroit has the ability to mix it up right here,

527
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 5: right because you because again one thing, the one thing

528
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 5: that that that Seattle has to say, you got so

529
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 5: much speed in the secondary, right, so they can run,

530
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 5: you know, with some of Detroit's wide receivers. So I

531
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: think you're gonna see a lot of run game. Dave Montgomery,

532
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 5: Jamiir Gibbs are gonna mix it up, and then they're

533
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 5: gonna take some shot plays they've got. You can't play

534
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 5: all the undernease stuff with Jered Goff all the time.

535
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 5: So I like Detroit in this one at home. This

536
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 5: is gonna be another shootout. I'm patrick one hundred percent

537
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 5: with you that that forty six point five, Yeah, that's

538
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 5: that's not gonna be up.

539
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: This is gonna be another offensive dandy.

540
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, forty six point five is in severe danger. I

541
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 4: do think in terms of the historical matchup, we're not

542
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: gonna get the numbers that we have seen in the

543
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: past because I believe both of these defenses, despite the

544
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 4: injuries that Seattle has dealt with, are better, uh, And

545
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 4: things are gonna get a little bit better for both defenses.

546
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: But it's still gonna It's still gonna be a lot

547
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: of points.

548
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 4: We're still gonna be see points uh in this game,

549
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 4: especially considering the style and the matchup where I love

550
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 4: Tareik Woolland, but particularly with i'man Ross, Saint Brown and Jamo.

551
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 4: It seems like if you're gonna put high weight speed

552
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: guys out there to deal with Treik Woolland, you would

553
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 4: have those guys to be able.

554
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: To see Jamo Tarik Willand would be like quite a.

555
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 5: That's a lot of talented, it's a lot of speed. Yeah,

556
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: that's for you're gonna I think. And to that point,

557
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna see something where the lines. You're

558
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 5: gonna try to get Weatherspoon on Saint Brown, even though

559
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 5: they don't do a ton of man, but they're gonna

560
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 5: try and do things because Saint Brown is more the

561
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 5: intermediate guy to to keep things underneath.

562
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

563
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 5: These offensive coordinators are gonna be scheming some stuff up.

564
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 5: I think in the short to intermediate pass game with

565
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 5: the occasional shot played, I don't think there's gonna be

566
00:25:59,119 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 5: a ton of them.

567
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: And so something that has kind of bolstered the way

568
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 4: we feel about the Lions defense is they're not necessarily

569
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 4: getting that many pressures, but they are converting those pressures

570
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 4: into sex and so there's something where you look at

571
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 4: the you look at the sack numbers, it's like, oh, yeah,

572
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 4: Ayden Hutchson had those five, Like the Lions are putting

573
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 4: a lot of guys on the dirt, But how often

574
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 4: are they getting consistent pressure, which is something because you know,

575
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 4: take a side, Yeah, but if you're not getting consistent pressure,

576
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna get those bombs like we saw last week.

577
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: This is a bad Seattle offensive line. Like Charles Cross

578
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: is playing great at left tackle. The people that are

579
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: smarter than me are saying this guy could be an

580
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: All Pro now that that's how well he's playing. But

581
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: on the interior right like the rest of the group's

582
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: not good. But this line, I actually don't know. Yeah,

583
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm with you that I don't know if it's going

584
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: to be a shootout, because, first of all, this is

585
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: what I was talking about before went to break, like,

586
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: this is a test for Seattle's defense. On paper, this

587
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: has been the best defense in the league, just about

588
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: them and the Vikings. But they've played you know, bo Nicks, right,

589
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: they played Jacoby Brissett, and they played Skylar Tom and

590
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Tim Boyle, and that's not their fault. They did what

591
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: great defenses should do. They dominated for the most part.

592
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: But this is a much bigger test. The Detroit running

593
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: game will test you the passes over the middle. In

594
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: terms of the Seattle linebackers, they can test you there.

595
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: But it's also to me a test a little bit

596
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: of for this Lions offense. I've been banging this this

597
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: drum the last few weeks, just like they're running the

598
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: ball great and that they have a great offensive line,

599
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: and so that what a foundation to start with. But

600
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: they're not quite where they've been the last couple of years.

601
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: They are thirteenth overall in DVOA efficiency as an offense,

602
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: twentieth in passing. You saw it in the game last

603
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: week with the Cardinals, they just got they didn't score

604
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: in the second half. That was a weird game where

605
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: every time they got the ball, you think, okay, they'll

606
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: put the game away here. It just never happened, like

607
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 1: they couldn't they couldn't score now, and I know they

608
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: had a good first half, so it's not like they're terrible,

609
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: but that would never happen last year. So it's kind

610
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: of a show me something for both these you and

611
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: it's Seattle defense, Lions offense very intriguing.

612
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 5: And this is where okay, now we have two years

613
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 5: of tape on Ben Johnson, right, that's where I think, Okay,

614
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 5: if they come out in three tight this is.

615
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: What they like to do.

616
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 5: Before they could trick you with some of those formations

617
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 5: where they would spread it out on third nine and

618
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 5: then run it. Right now, teams are like, okay, we've

619
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 5: got personnel now to match up a little bit more

620
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 5: of what they like to do offensively. So it could

621
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 5: be that it could be just they just haven't hit

622
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 5: their groove. This is just gonna be I'm you guys

623
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 5: are both saying those points. I think this is gonna

624
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 5: be another burner g.

625
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: You know, in prime time.

626
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: Remember that Cowboys gave me out last year. He has

627
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: been on fire. Just one small note if you're a

628
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks fan, Rodrigo, he's a starter now.

629
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: Baby.

630
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: Derek Barnes is hurt, he's out for a little while.

631
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Malcolm Rodriguez is playing every down.

632
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: There it does there he is Rodrigo.

633
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 4: Last time Marke McDonald saw Jared Goff, it was thirty

634
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 4: eight to six, by the way, and they Ravens blow

635
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: out of the Detroit Lions.

636
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: Oh good cost here.

637
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: I think that that game, than any game, might have

638
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: got him that job.

639
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: It might have got him a job.

640
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: Let's go to our next game.

641
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 4: It is the defeated as of thus far in the season,

642
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals, who are a three and a half point

643
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 4: favorite Greg Rosenthal at Andy Dalton's Carolina Panthers the over

644
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty seven. And I have the Panthers

645
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 4: not favorite it in the revenge game.

646
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: Well no, and I've actually I noticed that that number

647
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 1: is going down during the week, so people are in

648
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: on the Panthers. I don't know about that. Because this

649
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Bengals offense looks good. Can they really be this bad defensively?

650
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: Then?

651
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: Again, it is Dalton, and there is something about him

652
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: playing the Bengals in him basically digging dirt on their

653
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: entire season that is delicious. I'm excited for this game

654
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: just because if Dalton did that, and I'm like, oh,

655
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: Dalton must have played the Bengals before and from our

656
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: research department. Yeah, this is actually the fourth team that

657
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: he's played against the Bengals with.

658
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?

659
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: I think every team, I think every.

660
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: Tea's two and one, by the way, and I think last.

661
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 5: Week and every team he previously played for lost except

662
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 5: for the Panthers.

663
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: No, this is this is the week the Bengals get right. Guys.

664
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 5: Remember Adam Feeling is now down. One of the Red

665
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 5: Rifles targets favorite target is not playing in this game. Uh,

666
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow on this offense, look fine, they look find

667
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 5: me the run game, everything looked fine.

668
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 3: It's the defense.

669
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 5: I was stunned at how easily that lou Anarumo's defense,

670
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 5: which is so good at making halftime with justice, was manipulated.

671
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 5: Cam Taylor britt right there. They're gonna keep his butt

672
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 5: quiet this week. He got roasted twice after popping off,

673
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 5: so you know, Trent Scott though, keep an eye on him.

674
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 5: Well whoever's Washington this week? Uh, but I their their

675
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 5: defense seems undisciplined. I'm surprised. We know they still have

676
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 5: some issues. They have to work out the secondary, but

677
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 5: up front, yeah.

678
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: They don't have much. It's Trey Hendrickson and that's it.

679
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 3: Sam Hubbard is Sam Hubbard's.

680
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: Not playing well and they delivered their short on defensive tackles.

681
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: It's a bad Their run defense looks lost, So this

682
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: could be a Chub of Hubbard game.

683
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 4: It's one of those scary moments where you laud the

684
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 4: veteran defense and how well they've played, and now you're

685
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 4: watching through the first three weeks in the season. Did

686
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: everybody get old all at the same time. That's the

687
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: dangerous territory that we're in, considering the way that they

688
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 4: looked on Monday night. But I'm there's nothing wrong. I

689
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: know there's been some ludicrous conversation about Joe Burrow in

690
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 4: the offense. Come on, there's nothing more that they could

691
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 4: have done other than Evan McPherson making a field goal.

692
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: There's really a little better in the red zone. Maybe

693
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: call some more runs in the reds or have more

694
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: effective runs in the red zone. The ones they caused

695
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: weren't working, but they had to be perfect, yeah, point.

696
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 4: They had to be absolutely perfect. And I think t

697
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: Higgins is going to get better. It was clearly some rust.

698
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 4: He comes up short on I think two plays right

699
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 4: within the the end zone. And so yeah, Jamar Chase

700
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 4: is back. Everybody's gonna get healthy taking deep shots against

701
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: the Washington Commanders. And I don't think that this one

702
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 4: week boost for the Carolina Panthers, Like we're to the

703
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 4: point now where we're talking about Adam Thelen's injury, Like

704
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 4: that's how much better things are, because we would have

705
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 4: previously just said, hey, it's the Carolina Panthers, Like well

706
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 4: he's saying it.

707
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you think they're gonna win the Panthers, No, no, no,

708
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean yeah. Theeling, by the way, is uninjured reserve

709
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna have because of a hamstring injury. And then

710
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: Trent Brown, we haven't mentioned it on NFL Daily, is

711
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: out for the season, very unfortunate, a torn patel attendant.

712
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: So they'll have their first round pick, Amarius Mims takeover

713
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: at right tackle, which is a good position to be

714
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: in to have a first round pick there, but he struggled, yes,

715
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: in the brief time he was out there.

716
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: So that's that's something to watch.

717
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: And it's one of the reasons that you sometimes the

718
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: losing teams are more intriguing for some of these games

719
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: because if we get to the Witching Hour and Scott

720
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: Hansen's voice is rising on Sunday and he's talking about

721
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: the Red Rifles got the ball with the chance to

722
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: go win the game, to put the Panthers in a

723
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: tie for first in the NFC South and basically end

724
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals season. Those are some September stakes there, Patrick

725
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: like that, that's some real stuff and.

726
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 3: We could get there.

727
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 4: And the only thing really keeping that from happening, what

728
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 4: would be this Carolina Panthers see for them where it's

729
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 4: it's it's been a struggle and we we still got

730
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 4: to figure out how much of that because it takes

731
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 4: it takes an entire unit to be as bad as

732
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: the Las Vegas Raiders were. I guess the Panthers last week.

733
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 4: So was that a zero? Was that the defense was

734
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: that the Raiders? This is something for us to figure out,

735
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 4: but it will be the revenge opportunity. I will be very,

736
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 4: very exciting, not as exciting as things will be for

737
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 4: the scoreboard operator at State Farms State where the over

738
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 4: under is fifty and a half points.

739
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: I don't think that's enough.

740
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 4: Washington Commander's coming off of the best rookie performance that

741
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 4: I've seen. My god, I think on Monday Night football

742
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 4: for Jade Daniels against the Arizona Cardinals, who are putting

743
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 4: all kinds of points on the board. Steve, the Commander's

744
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 4: defense can't stop anybody points points, points, points points.

745
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 5: It's it's funny, you know. I talked to someone with

746
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 5: the commanders this week and it was like, yeah, so

747
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 5: our DBS man, you know, And and it's true. I mean,

748
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 5: you had you had the rookie Mike Saint Russell, who's

749
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 5: been a slot corners whole off outside because they're just

750
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 5: trying to figure he got beat on a deep play,

751
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 5: really good player, but he's small, and you know, for him,

752
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 5: I just don't know. Marvin Harrison, man, he might really

753
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 5: go extra.

754
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: Ham okay, and he's been a little inefficient.

755
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: Now you're talking a guy from Washington and he's complaining

756
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: about the DBS. Aren't they sky high that they found

757
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback.

758
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I mean, look, it's one of these

759
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 5: things like, Okay, we won the ball game, but when

760
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 5: we look at the big picture, he's not gonna deal

761
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 5: like that every week. Like at some point the defense

762
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 5: is going to have to bail out. And you know,

763
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 5: their defense are just just trying to find their way.

764
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 5: They're trying to find some groupings.

765
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 3: And things like this.

766
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 5: But let's you know what we talk about Jayden Daniels.

767
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 5: I mean, Patrick, do you see him not granted he

768
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 5: might not be able to throw for a game like this,

769
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 5: but I don't see him slowing down.

770
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 3: This is that's a type of performance.

771
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 5: I think he's going to continue in this offense, will

772
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 5: continue to build on especially since Cliff Kingsbury is going

773
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 5: back to Arizona. Oh yeah, because Cliff was in his bag.

774
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 5: I have not seen him call a game as aggressively.

775
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what he called the throw a generational throw

776
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: into a tight window like that a great receiver, it's

777
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: going to catch play.

778
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,959
Speaker 2: Let's not get too much credit.

779
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 4: Well also in taking the way credit for Cliff on

780
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 4: that play, it was Terry McLaurin that called that play.

781
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 4: After the game, Terry said he went over to Cliff

782
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 4: and asked for the.

783
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: Double move over at least for a couple I'm not I.

784
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 4: Mean all due respect because during the game, I'm like, hey,

785
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 4: all do apologies to Cliff Kingsbury. I wasn't familiar with

786
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 4: your game. I don't know how many that was Cliff

787
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 4: and how much of that was his players with suggestions.

788
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 4: But we just haven't seen Terry McLaurin over on that

789
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: right side a whole bunch. Now, what a time to

790
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,479
Speaker 4: come up with a debut for it. And really, Jane

791
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 4: only missed two passes in the game. The other one

792
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 4: was a wide open shot to Terry that he would

793
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 4: have made in his sleep. I don't know what happened

794
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 4: is one of those things. Because he completed the ninety

795
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 4: one percent of his passes, everybody's oh, he can't throw.

796
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 4: He didn't miss pass the rest of the game after that,

797
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: But there's who knows what can happen if the if

798
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 4: the airs on the Cardinals cannot get pressure in and around

799
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 4: Jane and Daniels like the Cincinnati Bengals did, I'm gonna

800
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 4: then they're gonna score it for time again.

801
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 2: Right, it's been two weeks. I mean the stats are crazy.

802
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: The Commanders are first in the league in plays and

803
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: yards per drive on offense, and they're dead last in

804
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: the league and plays in yards for I have on defense,

805
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: So like they are a walking forty burger. And I

806
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: did want to throw something by you when it comes

807
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: to Jane Daniels, because I do think this can continue.

808
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: Not at that level, but I think he's going to

809
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: be really efficient and smart. How they use him in

810
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: the running game and when he scrambles it's so effective,

811
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: and that he'll have enough big shots, big plays to

812
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: compliment all the dinking and dunking that they like to do.

813
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at Jayden Daniels if you're watching

814
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: on YouTube the All twenty two version, the end zone

815
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: angle and the shot that he took on that throw

816
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: to Terry McLaurin to win the game. I propose to

817
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: you guys, last week, in terms of throw of the year,

818
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: a candidate to possibly pass Anthony Richardson that was Kyler Murray.

819
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 2: We stuck with Richardson.

820
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: Now I'm personally willing to consider the game situation and

821
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: the moment and the throw and the play that that

822
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: essential game winner from Jaden Daniels before taking the hit

823
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: knowing that the blitz is coming. Is now the throw

824
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: of the year. What are you guys think I'm gonna

825
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: throw it to the crew. So it's either this or

826
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: it's Anthony Richardson the bomb from week one that would

827
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: have the belt.

828
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 5: Currently, Yeah, Richard's Richard's got the spectacular play. But I

829
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 5: mean this was, like you said, the moment, the circumstances,

830
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 5: this this, this broke the back and look at the

831
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 5: corner right, he sees Hilt, he knows Hilton's count blam,

832
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 5: let's it rip.

833
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, we know McLaurin may have called the play,

834
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 3: but you.

835
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 5: Got the sideline as a defender and the corner trail

836
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 5: on him and he just dropped it right in the bucket.

837
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's the security guy in the blue shirt standing

838
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 4: like six feet away from Terry McLaurin. If you put

839
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: me right there and gave him the football, I could

840
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 4: not have thrown the ball where Jayden Daniels did getting smashed.

841
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 4: I felt like the only time he was hit as

842
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 4: he threw the entire game. I will say that Jaden

843
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 4: Daniels had the better play, uh, the the decision, the circumstances,

844
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 4: but in terms of throwing the football. It's it's gonna

845
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 4: be tough for me to say if we're purely talking

846
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 4: about interpretation.

847
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: So either way, So yes, you're going Richardson. I think

848
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: you're the deciding vote here, Steve, I don't even know.

849
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 5: Okay, my thing is the spectacular goes to Richardson. I

850
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 5: mean talk about the throw of the year.

851
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: He retains about he retains THEO. By the way, the

852
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense not something we talk about a lot. They've

853
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: been okay this year. Yeah, I mentioned the Lions.

854
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 3: Stop it.

855
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: I thought they were gonna be a little overmatch.

856
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: I know Kyler had a bad game last week. I

857
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: expect their offense to bounce back. If their defense can

858
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: be okay, they can be in the mix for a while.

859
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: I think they could bounce back here.

860
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 3: I like them.

861
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: I like them to win this game. If I if

862
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: I had to choose one, O the Cliff cliff Is

863
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: Cardinals fans. Though Cliff is good in September, Cliff does

864
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: create a running game like that's the one thing that

865
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: you can say he has a running game that travels.

866
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: This is a really fun game.

867
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 6: Well, he gets his quarterbacks hit like that. Ain't the

868
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 6: last time, Jane's gonna take a shot and I don't

869
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 6: want to hear revenge game. He's his contract is only

870
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 6: in year two. The contract that he got from the

871
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 6: Cardinals is only entering year two, like it didn't start

872
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 6: until after they fired him, or maybe it's year three now,

873
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 6: but the contract extension they gave him did not start

874
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 6: until after they fired a year after they fired him,

875
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 6: So he's still making money from that.

876
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 4: He's coaching. He's coaching for free. No offset the revenge game.

877
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 4: There is Kyler Murray against the true of Kingsbury. Good

878
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 4: go all right, So here's what.

879
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: Tom it is. Guys.

880
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 4: It's time for the Sneaky good Game of the Week,

881
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 4: presented by Draft kings Sportsbook. A two and a half

882
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 4: point home favorite Chicago Bears going up against the Los

883
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 4: Angeles Rams.

884
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 3: The over under Steve is forty one.

885
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 4: That the Rams or Matthew Stafford too too at well

886
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 4: and some duct tape and band aids salvage a win

887
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 4: in so far last week, but they're not favorites against

888
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 4: since this good Bears defense.

889
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 3: That's what it is. It's because the Bears defense.

890
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 5: You know, you see some of the injuries that the

891
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 5: Rams have on the offensive line. The fact that the

892
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 5: Bears do have a good secondary and the Rams are

893
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 5: just spreading it to whomever. I mean, Afford was unbelievable

894
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 5: in the second half of that game. And I guess

895
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 5: maybe they're looking at the Rams defense saying that they

896
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 5: can't get pressure on Caleb. All I saw every play

897
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 5: when Rock Perdy, who had a good game, had the ball,

898
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 5: was Jared Verse walking the left tackle back into the Latin.

899
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 3: Now, this is where the Rams won the game.

900
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 5: Special team SA if you're Smith fam you you know

901
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 5: they had the fake punt. They had very good special

902
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 5: teams play and then you know Stafford again they got

903
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 5: the benefit of this call here sets up the field goal.

904
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 5: But I guess when you look at the points as

905
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 5: Chicago's the favorite, you're just saying they still aren't going

906
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 5: to have problems getting into the end zone against this defense.

907
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 5: But I don't know, man, I think when I see

908
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 5: Jared Vers and Braden Fisk, they're going to be able

909
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 5: to put pressure on Caleb.

910
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because I think that

911
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: is a silver lining for this Rams season so far,

912
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 1: that I do think they hit on those first Yes,

913
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: that they're both going to be really good players and

914
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: how good we'll find out they're already going to be

915
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: plus players and they could be special. I think Caleb

916
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: just has to cut out the negative plays. A lot

917
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: of miscommunications again where him and the receivers not on

918
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: the same page, turnovers, turnover where he plays, sacks, all

919
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 1: that stuff. But the big plays were back last week.

920
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: He did make some really impressive throws in this Rams

921
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 1: defense has struggled now they needed a matchup like this again.

922
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: I keep talking about week four. Sometimes what you think

923
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: about a team has a lot to do with the schedule.

924
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: The Rams defense has played the Lions, Cardinals forty nine

925
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: ers offenses back to back to back, and they've been

926
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: totally overmatched, especially in the secondary. So Keenan Allen is

927
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: expected to return in this game. He was limited at

928
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday, but it's trending positive. That's a big

929
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: mismatch against the Rams secondary. But the Rams might be saying, hey,

930
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: here's an offense we can actually maybe handle for ones.

931
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: Keep it close, and I tend to trust when push

932
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: comes to shove. I think quarterbacks, and I think coaching staffs,

933
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: I think organizations, and the Rams have it all over

934
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: the Bears in those categories.

935
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially considering the just how difficult things have been

936
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 4: on offense, especially protecting Caleb Williams early on this season

937
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 4: the benefit of the for the Chicago Bears, there's been

938
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 4: four different players that have got at least twenty different

939
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 4: pass blocking snaps for the Rams at the left tacklefish

940
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 4: this season, it's kind of been a turnstile over there.

941
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: Although now you know Alec Jackson who came off suspension,

942
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: but he struggled last week.

943
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: He might not be a world beater either. He struggled.

944
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: So even the guys they have out there that they

945
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: know haven Stein is at right tackle like they had

946
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: benched him the other guys, you know, we'll see.

947
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 5: Well and you see that that the nine had flipped

948
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 5: Bosh over to the right side too, So Alerc Jackson

949
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 5: is going up against Bosha. Let me ask you this though,

950
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 5: when it comes to the Bears, right, I think a

951
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 5: lot of us we're thinking, if they've got the number

952
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 5: one pick and they're taking Caleb Williams, why are they

953
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 5: hanging on to Maddyberfluss and was supposed to be the

954
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 5: last year of his deal, Because if this doesn't work out,

955
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 5: now Caleb's in that situation.

956
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 3: Like Trevor was right, we'll all daftin fields like.

957
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 5: Justin fields where you're flipping coaches, And do you think

958
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 5: that conversation if they lose or if this offense continues

959
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 5: to look scattered when you have Caleb throwing at fifty

960
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 5: two times and after the game he's like, I threw

961
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 5: it fifty two times, do you think this is something

962
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 5: that once again is going to put wash Rent Repete

963
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 5: on the Bears organization.

964
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean it's it's unfortunate, and that was the risk.

965
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: I think once once the ball started rolling downhill last

966
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: year and they kept winning at the end of the year,

967
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: it just was taken as a FATA complay that they're

968
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: going to keep them because they've finished the season hot.

969
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: And sometimes it doesn't continue that way. It's a long

970
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: way to go, but they need to defense has been fine,

971
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: it has his side of the ball hasn't been the problem.

972
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: But they got to fix the offense. They got to

973
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: get DeAndre Swift going. They got to get a running

974
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: game to help Caleb Williams out. DeAndre Swift is averaging

975
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: under two yards per carry him and that that's hard

976
00:44:59,320 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: to believe.

977
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 5: Think about this game. Bearish play caller was whose right

978
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 5: hand man two years ago.

979
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 7: Good callan Shane Waldron in some heat because there was

980
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 7: a question to Matt eueber Flews because they have Taekwon

981
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 7: Lewis down there in a blocking situation with the defensive end,

982
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 7: got mauled and then they ran that speed option the

983
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 7: next play, which is one of the worst play that

984
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 7: we've seen all week.

985
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 4: The coach is answering questions about the play caller. They're

986
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 4: not able to score points. I got the number one

987
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 4: overall pick. We're in dangers over Shane.

988
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: Shane is missing life with Gino Smith. He didn't know

989
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: how good he had it. And it's not a revenge

990
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: game for him though Sean McVay got helped to get

991
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: him a job just by association.

992
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 5: You know.

993
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break and uh a

994
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 2: little over halfway through here, we got.

995
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: Some of the best games of the week in our

996
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: next block, including maybe my favorite.

997
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 2: Game of the year so far, Ravens and Bills. That's

998
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:56,040

1004
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's out of jail no longer asked to commentate

1005
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: on Dallas Cowboy with slowouts, although they made it interesting.

1006
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: I was actually happy for Tom that he had a

1007
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: fun and fourth quarter at the end.

1008
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: But no, he's heading to Tampa.

1009
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1010
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 4: The broadcast wilded into existence when they showed a fan

1011
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 4: that was obviously a plant wearing a twenty eight to

1012
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 4: three T shirt at the Cowboys Ravens game.

1013
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: Wait, really, I missed that.

1014
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 4: It was coming back from breaking there's this guy in

1015
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 4: a twenty eight three T shirt. It's like, all right,

1016
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 4: who'd y'all put that shirt on? I'm calling I'm throwing

1017
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 4: a flag on that. But yeah, Tom Brady will be

1018
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 4: in the stands and a lot of us be watching

1019
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 4: as the Philadelphia Eagles are two and a half point

1020
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 4: favorites at the Tampa Bay Bunkers, who just lost to

1021
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 4: the Broncos. These two teams have playoff history. Jalen hurts

1022
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 4: two to one against the Buccaneers in his career, I

1023
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 4: mean one and two against the Buccaneers in his career

1024
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 4: in the playoffs.

1025
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 3: But this is the regular season. Greg, They've got a

1026
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 3: whole lot of injuries.

1027
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 4: Don't know if it's aj Brown advante Smith, it may

1028
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 4: just be Saquon and Jalen Hurts.

1029
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 3: Not enough.

1030
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: Maybe because this Bucks defense isn't what they've been in

1031
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: previous years. You think Todd Bowles defense, you think, oh, well,

1032
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: there's some of the best run defenses of all time. Literally,

1033
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: yeah and great every year. This year they really struggle

1034
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: on the ground. Part of that is Vidavea has been

1035
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: banged up, was back at practice on Wednesday. They also

1036
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: get Luke Getiki, their right tackle, back at practice on Wednesday,

1037
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: which are really positive because if you watched that Bucks

1038
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: game last week, they couldn't stop the run consistently enough

1039
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,439
Speaker 1: and they really couldn't protect Baker Mayfield, so that would

1040
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: be big for them. Yeah, this is another like what's

1041
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: real about this team? Eagles get pushed around for two weeks,

1042
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: then suddenly they show up in New Orleans and they're

1043
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: wrecking shop against this great running game like set in

1044
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: the edge, playing really fierce, and then what's real about Baker?

1045
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: Because you know not to yeah, celebrate here, Patrick, but

1046
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: you're talking MVP. Last week for Baker, I'm like, let's

1047
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: calm down, and he played one of his worst games

1048
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: as a buccaneer. I thought he kind of was the

1049
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: problem last week for the Bucks. It was a lot

1050
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: of old Baker stuff of leaving the pocket early, just

1051
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: missing some throws, some crazy decisions, and then it kind

1052
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: of collapsed on him in the second half. But the

1053
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: first half it was actually I think a lot of

1054
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: it was on Baker. I was surprised to see that

1055
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: because he had been really consistent throughout the course of

1056
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: the end of last season and certainly to start this year.

1057
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, we see the.

1058
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 5: Eagles, you know, their two and a half point favorites.

1059
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 5: I like the number. I like the Bucks to beat

1060
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 5: the number. I just think that, you know, Tampa, if

1061
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 5: they get Vita Via back right, it's going to help

1062
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 5: out in the run defense. But you know, you look

1063
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 5: at the Bucks secondary. I don't know if Winfield's going

1064
00:48:59,200 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 5: to be back yet.

1065
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 1: He is only running like on the side at practice,

1066
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: so it sounds like he's at least a week away.

1067
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just you know, the the Eagles offensive line

1068
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 5: is good, They're gonna have to run it. I mean,

1069
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 5: they had they they looked very good defensively against the Saints. Right,

1070
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,479
Speaker 5: they're able to stop that outside zone and Saints didn't

1071
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 5: have a left hand so to speak of where they

1072
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 5: could go, but they didn't score. I mean, they had

1073
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 5: fifteen points right against a pretty good defense. So I

1074
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 5: just think I think the Bucks at home in this one,

1075
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 5: I Philadelphia just doesn't seem like the type of team

1076
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 5: to me that's gonna also and rip off three or

1077
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 5: fourth to three games.

1078
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 3: Yet.

1079
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned that the Bucks hurts matchups in the past. Patrick,

1080
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: which I think is for Eagles fans, is like a

1081
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: big part of this game that he's had the two

1082
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: most embarrassing moments of his career against Todd Bowles's defense.

1083
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: So do you think this is a different Hurts. Maybe

1084
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: they've been good against the Blitz.

1085
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, they've been much better against the Blitz. And

1086
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 4: we saw last year they had no answers. They had

1087
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 4: absolutely no answers against the defense against the Blitz. And

1088
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 4: now Kellen Moore comes in. There are some questions about

1089
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 4: like Nick Sirianni saying that he's gonna step in and

1090
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 4: call some plays in some situations that eyes kind of

1091
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 4: popped out reading that this week.

1092
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: Well, well you talked about the fourth he was talking

1093
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: about that fourth down decision. I wonder if he was

1094
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: just like, was he just taking the bullet for Kellen

1095
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: Moore and trying to be like a good Hey, there's

1096
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: something maybe I don't know that'd be a cool guy move.

1097
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 4: Like shout out to Nick Sirianni. If that's you know,

1098
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 4: we'd have to wait for a book after his career

1099
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 4: or something, you know, if things go the other way.

1100
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 4: But it's gonna a lot, it's gonna depend on the statuses.

1101
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 3: Like A. J.

1102
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 4: Brown and Devonte Smith or so much of this passing game,

1103
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 4: they're both there.

1104
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 3: I'm picking the Eagles regardless.

1105
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: So they were both out of practice. That generally a

1106
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: guy coming off a concussion who misses practice entirely on Wednesday,

1107
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: that that's not a good sign for them, and you

1108
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: just you don't know for sure, but both him and

1109
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson. And Johnson, you know, I'm a little worried

1110
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 1: about longer term because of some history that he's had

1111
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: with concussions and saying how it's really affected him in

1112
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: his mental health. So those are two situations. They were

1113
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: both out of practice.

1114
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 3: A J.

1115
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 2: Brown was also out of practice. I think this was kind.

1116
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: Of the week where maybe he could come back and

1117
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: maybe not if it was it was next week.

1118
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean again, that's a lot of talent. That's

1119
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 3: a lot. That's a lot of talent, you know.

1120
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 5: And again with concussion protocols, just you see different guys

1121
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 5: handle different ways. Some guys maybe out on Wednesday, Thursday,

1122
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 5: they're back Friday, they pass all the protocols and they

1123
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 5: have a full practice.

1124
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 3: Good gotcha. So that's just something you know, you really

1125
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 3: have to keep an eye on.

1126
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Davante played every single snap, which is not out

1127
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 4: of the question before he got hurt in Week three.

1128
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 4: But in the game against the Science, he's always out

1129
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 4: on the field. He is always a big part of

1130
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 4: that passing game.

1131
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 2: But I do want to make one note here about

1132
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 2: the Bucks.

1133
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: I just want to give some pop to Zion McCollum

1134
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: and Tyke Smith. I feel they're not getting mentioned on

1135
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: a lot of Zion McCollum playing his ass off in

1136
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 1: the secondary, Todd Bowles can coach him up, and Tikey Smith,

1137
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: who's like I think he's a rookie nickel. He's playing

1138
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: pretty well too. So they got some young players to

1139
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: keep an eye on.

1140
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 4: Well, Collum has more passes defended than he does completions.

1141
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 3: Whoa right now he's at that's a pop? That's a pop?

1142
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 4: Or Zion McCollums Z Why oh, by the way, good

1143
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 4: shot by Greg Rosen.

1144
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, big time.

1145
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 4: What about a big matchup in the NFC North at

1146
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 4: lambeau Field where the Packers, the loveless question mark Green

1147
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 4: Bay Packers we'll find out are two and a half

1148
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 4: point favorites against Sam Darnold. Get those bees buzzing in

1149
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 4: my ear and the Minnesota Vikings on over under of

1150
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 4: forty three point five.

1151
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: There they go, Greg the high They're they're attacking me,

1152
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: They're coming at me. This is another test room. But

1153
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: he's had tests and they passed them all. I mean,

1154
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: the Packers defense is playing better lately. Their defensive line

1155
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: now is against the Colts and and the Titans, but

1156
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: they've been getting after kind of a more than the

1157
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 1: sum of their parts type of group where Rashaun Gary

1158
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: is great, Preston Smith is solid, but just they're getting

1159
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: production from a lot of different guys and so that'll

1160
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: be a challenge for them.

1161
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 2: We'll see JJ though he's just crazy man.

1162
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: And he's gonna go against JayR Alexander this week, who's

1163
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 1: kind of back to being the old Gyr examder having

1164
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: a good year. He beats, he gets, he doesn't just

1165
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,399
Speaker 1: beat double teams like he gets open to the point

1166
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: where like Sam Donald's like, oh he's open even though

1167
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 1: there's a double team.

1168
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 2: I'll throw it to him.

1169
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter. It's crazy, he's he is so elite.

1170
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 5: He is, he is so really, I think it's interesting.

1171
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 5: Is this a third consecutive game where Brian Flora is

1172
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 5: a Vikings defensive coordinator, is coaching against either a Shanahan

1173
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 5: or a McVeigh disciple. Right, so they've got some of

1174
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,959
Speaker 5: the staples defensively against the scheme on what works now

1175
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 5: Malik Willis and Jordan Love. That's very different, right, Yes,

1176
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 5: he hadn't coach. He gets a running quarterback, right, so

1177
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 5: that's something. But I even Paige could be back an

1178
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 5: inside linebacker for the Vikings this week. That could be

1179
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 5: getting healthier. Looking at somebody. I just think the Vikings defense,

1180
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 5: I mean what they did. I mean to go out

1181
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 5: there and kick Houston's ass the way it did with

1182
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 5: Jonathan Grenard and Andrew van Ginkel. How great of assignings

1183
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 5: that Flores had him in Miami gets him up to

1184
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 5: Minnesota has already got three sacks. A ton of pressures

1185
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 5: sets the edge, which is key.

1186
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 3: In the scheme. I don't know.

1187
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 5: This is where I think of Malik Willis actually gives

1188
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 5: Green Bay an edge.

1189
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 3: Patrick. I'm one hundred percent with you, Steve.

1190
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 4: I can't imagine the situation where you have a guy

1191
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 4: with an MCL spring that has to get on an

1192
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 4: international flight and come back. We saw him kind of

1193
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 4: hobble out in practice and throw a few passes last week.

1194
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 4: And now we're playing a defense that's getting pressure on

1195
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 4: thirty five percent of dropbacks and is converting eleven percent

1196
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 4: of those to sex right their top three in that

1197
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 4: particular step. Pressures coming from every which way, you're having

1198
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 4: to keep your head on the swivel constantly. Why am

1199
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 4: I gonna send my two hundred million dollar quarterback fresh

1200
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 4: off like he's explaining that he's getting better. I don't

1201
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 4: want to hear that you're getting better. Like we have

1202
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 4: a season to think about here. Why not mix things up?

1203
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 4: Because as you know, you guys have mentioned, this offense

1204
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 4: has proliferated its way literally from sea to shining Sea

1205
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 4: in the NFL. Brian Flores has it, he's got it,

1206
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 4: he's got the players. Why not do something different. He

1207
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 4: was commenting about the way that Matt Lafleur has gone

1208
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 4: from West coast to run in this countertrait power like

1209
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 4: the bib of offense, like flora' Floraes wants Jordan Love

1210
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 4: to play this game like the do the right thing.

1211
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a bold statement. So you think they'd have

1212
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: a better chance to win with with Willis?

1213
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,720
Speaker 3: Then then would Jordan Love limping around?

1214
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know if he's gonna leave a limping out.

1215
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 1: So he was at practice on Wednesday. He did more

1216
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: and more practice last week. He said he was very

1217
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 1: close to playing. Yeah, last week, which would and to

1218
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: make you think he's playing this week. They also had

1219
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 1: him speak to the media. He was in good spirits,

1220
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: usually a sign that he's playing. And Patrick, you think,

1221
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 1: you think they should caution here and think about the

1222
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: long term and just benjam in a week even if

1223
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: he seems ready to go.

1224
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've seen the way that this team can play,

1225
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 4: and I think with Jordan Love that there's a chance

1226
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 4: that the Green Bay Packers can win the Super Bowl.

1227
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 4: I don't want to risk him if it's close. If

1228
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 4: he's saying he was close last week, that they don't

1229
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 4: have a buye until week ten. Right, there's just so

1230
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 4: many things that could go wrong here. They're hot right now,

1231
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 4: you play the hot hand. I'm not saying that Malik

1232
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 4: Willis is a better quarterback than Jordan Love. I just

1233
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 4: think if it's if he's not one hundred percent, I

1234
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 4: don't want him play against this defense.

1235
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: You know, one way to maybe beat that those blitzes

1236
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: just keep handing the ball off and do some design

1237
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: runs with Malik Willis, who was very I mean, he

1238
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: ran so well last week you forget of it just

1239
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: reminded me of what you see at Liberty and you

1240
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: just forget what a crazy talented runner he is. Just

1241
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: a natural runner he is. And then how do you

1242
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: beat the blitz I mean we're asking a lot here.

1243
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: He hit some big plays over the top. I mean,

1244
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: that's what Jordan Loved to him, did to him last year.

1245
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 3: Maybe that's in they both throw the deep ball.

1246
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 5: I got something for you, Okay, what about you have

1247
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 5: Malik Willis package? Yeah, at all I'm not saying platoon

1248
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 5: these guys, but all of a sudden, okay, wait, Jordan

1249
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 5: Love's going out to wide receiver Malik Willis is in here.

1250
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 3: Okay, what are we looking at?

1251
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 5: You know they're I'm not big on doing something like

1252
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 5: that before a game like this early in the season.

1253
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 3: Put it on film. It's tough.

1254
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: I do think you can maybe neutralize a little bit

1255
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: of Flores's craziness by rolling with what's been the number

1256
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: one ground game in the NFL this season is the

1257
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. I mean Emmanuel Wilson. They found another one.

1258
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: He really looks like a dog like this, Aaron Jones,

1259
00:57:58,480 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: It's not a revenge game.

1260
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

1261
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: Read his article on the Players Tribune. It's really great.

1262
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: He's one of my all time favorite players that we've covered.

1263
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: We had him on the Round the NFL podcast previously.

1264
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,479
Speaker 1: I just love it, Like Wes was such a huge

1265
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: fan of just how he is as a player. He

1266
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: seems like a better person. So I'm sure he's gonna

1267
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: get a lot of love from the Packers. Faithful and

1268
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: it's worked out for both sides. The Packers got the

1269
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: number one running game and the Vikings got one. Of

1270
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: the best running backs in the league.

1271
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great matchup, looking forward to it, and

1272
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 4: everybody's looking forward to our next game.

1273
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 3: It's time for the Game of the Week presented by

1274
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 3: Draft Games.

1275
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 4: The Buffalo Bill's going at the Baltimore Ravens, who are

1276
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 4: two and a half point favorite, despite almost being h

1277
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 4: and three and having one of the worst losses late

1278
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 4: collapses in recent regular season history other than theirs I

1279
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 4: guesst the Miami Dolphins a few years ago forty six

1280
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 4: and a half points. It's gonna be the Sunday night

1281
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 4: game with to Rico, Chris Collinsworth and Melissa Stark on

1282
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 4: the call. The Ravens got in the win column. They

1283
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 4: could easily be oh and three, Greg, they could easily

1284
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 4: be three and oh. How do you see them doing

1285
00:58:58,920 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 4: against Josh Allen.

1286
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take them to win in the end. I

1287
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: don't feel strung with the Ravens. No, the Ravens, they're

1288
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: the favorites. They're at home. This is not your normal

1289
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: one and two team. I think that number reflects what

1290
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: the underlying numbers would say about this Ravens team.

1291
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 2: For in Dvoa.

1292
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: This is the best team in the league, the Bills

1293
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: versus the number five team in the league, the Ravens.

1294
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: That the Ravens have been that good. Like I just

1295
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: mentioned the Packers have the best running game in the

1296
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: league statistically they do, but the Ravens, I think I

1297
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: might take them in the like if I just had

1298
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: to choose one. Lamar Jackson is running really well this year.

1299
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: He is second in the league in success right. Derek

1300
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 1: Henry is breaking about as many tackles yards after contact

1301
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: as anyone.

1302
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: So it's coming along.

1303
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: And I do think over the years, if you want

1304
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: to beat a Sean McDermott defense, you gotta be able

1305
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: to overpower them and run the ball because they they're

1306
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: on their p's and q's. When you throw the ball

1307
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: against them, and they're very sound, it's hard to get

1308
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: big plays, but you tend to be able to have

1309
00:59:58,440 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: some long drives.

1310
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: I do think Lamar and Derrick Henry show up in

1311
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 2: this one.

1312
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they're gonna have to, right because the

1313
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 5: Ravens defense that front, when they were able just to

1314
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 5: pin him back last week against the Jags, I mean,

1315
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 5: you can't stop them. They made the Jags one dimensional

1316
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 5: early Monday night, and that was that if you make

1317
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 5: them start to, you know, work with that run game.

1318
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 5: As we're saying Dereck Henry, I think he's averaging like

1319
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 5: six yards of care. It's crazy. And they got him

1320
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 5: involved last week, right, they used him in the fourth quarter,

1321
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 5: something that they had not done, mixing some Lamar and

1322
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 5: Justice Hill. I think you can keep this Buffalo Bills

1323
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 5: defense off balance. The one thing that worries me, and

1324
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 5: this is why I like Buffalo in this game, is

1325
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 5: you have seen the Ravens, especially in the second half

1326
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 5: of games, get mismatched with their linebackers against opposing receivers,

1327
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 5: whether it's tight end running backs. And where are the

1328
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bills where they make their money yep, with knocks

1329
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 5: and with kincaid and we usually Ty Johnson in the past. Yeah,

1330
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 5: And you have seen in every game with the Ravens

1331
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 5: that have been close, you're seeing ro Kwan Smith chasing

1332
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 5: somebody and a mismatch. You're seeing a linebacker Trent and

1333
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 5: and Himpson race chase somebody in a mismatch. They've got

1334
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 5: to figure out how to work that because teams, you

1335
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 5: better believe that Joe Brady's up there looking at because

1336
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 5: that's what you saw all game against Jacksonville. You saw

1337
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 5: them matching up against the inside linebackers against the Jags

1338
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 5: and having them chasing somebody. You better believe that's something

1339
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 5: that's coming the Ravens way.

1340
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Josh Allen has only missed three passes this entire

1341
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 4: season when targeting the slot. He's twenty three or fix

1342
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 4: and four touchdowns. This is safety Josh. This is the safe,

1343
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 4: not making mistakes version of Josh Allen that we've wanted

1344
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 4: to see for years, and the Jags could do absolutely

1345
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 4: nothing about it. I have real concerns about this this

1346
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 4: Ravens defense in dealing with that because of the issues

1347
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 4: that they've we saw the blown cover against Worthy in

1348
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 4: the opener, the comeback last week, all of the difficulties

1349
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 4: with Davante Adams and the Raiders.

1350
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 3: I'm actually picking the Bills in this game.

1351
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 4: When when I made the picks for gdv hythen emails

1352
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 4: got you're picking against Baltimore, and.

1353
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 2: It's just I can't remember the last time if it's

1354
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 2: ever happened.

1355
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 3: I think once in the past couple of seasons, and

1356
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 3: that was just it was a matchup.

1357
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 4: Then it's it's kind of a matchup now I don't

1358
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 4: know how much of the of the comeback on the

1359
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 4: offensive line. Was the offensive line getting better and falloile

1360
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 4: they played a great game, or was that just the

1361
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys.

1362
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big time test.

1363
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 3: Ed Oliver is not overmatched.

1364
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: No, No, they've That's been one of the stories of

1365
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: the season, how much they're getting out of von Miller

1366
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: and ed Oliver and Greg Russo. I think they're getting

1367
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: more than that because they blitz the least amount in

1368
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: the league, but they still can get enough pressure.

1369
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 2: And what an advantage that is.

1370
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't think though the Buffalo defense, their linebackers, some

1371
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: of their cornerbacks, you know, after Christian Benford.

1372
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 2: Who's he's playing lights out. He's a hell of a player.

1373
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: But I think the rest of the other cornerbacks because

1374
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Tarron Johnson is probably out again, and the safety position

1375
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: Toamar Hamlin's playing great. But they've only played you know,

1376
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: I know they played the Dolphins and they did well

1377
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: against Tua there for two and a half quarters. But

1378
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: you know that Cardinals moved it up and down on them.

1379
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: So I'm not counting on this defense that they're just

1380
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: like locked down. It's a test. I believe for them too.

1381
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Ravens more, just for stupid reasons. One,

1382
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: they tend to be bad in the games where they're

1383
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: big favorites or where they have a big lead, but

1384
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: they show up for big games.

1385
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 2: This game is really important for them. They're one and two.

1386
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,439
Speaker 1: I think it means more to them, and and they're

1387
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: at home, and so I probably would pick the Bills

1388
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: of if they were at home. I just needed a

1389
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: little more from Justin Tucker. If you look at yeah,

1390
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: how about that, not just that he's missing kicks. Actually,

1391
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: if you look at how when he missed the kick

1392
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: in the field position that they gave up, and how

1393
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: the other teams went and scored right afterwards, he was

1394
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: kind of the reason that Cowboys comeback started. If he

1395
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: hits that kick, they're up thirty one six. Instead, it's

1396
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: a great field position, and the comeback starts. The week

1397
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: before the exact same thing. He was about to put

1398
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: the game away, he missed it, the Raiders get great

1399
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 1: field position, comeback start, and the week before it was

1400
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: a huge miskick against the Chiefs.

1401
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 2: So can you let's go Justin Tucker.

1402
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 3: We need to being in the position of like Hey, justin,

1403
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 3: it's just not happening.

1404
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 2: Well, no, you're not Ben, and he's not missing like

1405
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 2: short kicks or anything crazy.

1406
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 3: But he's pushing him all the same side as well.

1407
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, Coach Horball said it was a mechanical issue, a

1408
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 4: technique issue, hopefully because you were the one that pointed

1409
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 4: it out weeks ago. It keep going up against kickers

1410
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 4: where the other kickers better. Brandon Aubrey Tyler Bass is

1411
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 4: not in the Brandon Aubrey Kenny. Now, if anybody is

1412
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 4: kicking matchup, I do think favors. The Ravens are at

1413
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 4: the game. They're gonna have to see hope, I hope.

1414
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: So I am really really excited for this one Sunday

1415
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: night football did it again. They always managed to get

1416
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: the best ones.

1417
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 3: They get first.

1418
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 2: They don't.

1419
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: They don't get Titans Dolphins. That's coming up after the break.

1420
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: But continue to listen. My favorite rivalry in the entire NFL.

1421
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:14,560

1427
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 2: what game I'm watching in the early window.

1428
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: It's Saints, It's Falcon or it is the best rivalry

1429
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

1430
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 2: And to that, you say, for.

1431
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 3: Forty four years they battle to figure out who wasn't

1432
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 3: the worst eights versus the Alcins.

1433
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 4: It's Steve trying to unite these fan bases, which is

1434
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 4: they've had some moments the last twenty years.

1435
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, yeah, good moment.

1436
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 4: It's it is the fifty five right now to fifty

1437
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 4: four all time. The Saints have a one game lead

1438
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 4: can the Atlanta Falcons tied up in Mercedes spin Stadium

1439
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 4: in Atlanta, New Orleans visiting the Falcons, who are a

1440
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 4: two point favorite. Both teams coming off of late, last minute,

1441
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 4: heartbreaking losses. The Falcons saw their star tailback Bejon Robinson

1442
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 4: get tackled for a loss when they needed a couple

1443
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 4: of yards. Greg, do they get a couple of points

1444
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 4: and beat the New Orleans Saints?

1445
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 2: I like the Saints. It's a toss up.

1446
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 1: Just I think they're highs this year have been so

1447
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 1: much higher obviously than the Falcons. But it wouldn't surprise me.

1448
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: You know, we hadn't talked about it on NFL Daily

1449
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: that Eric McCoy is going to be out six to

1450
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: eight weeks to flow. And if you're if you're picking

1451
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: indispensable players on that Saints offense, he's right near the top.

1452
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's making the calls, he's setting the protections.

1453
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: He was taking a lot off of Derek Carr's plate

1454
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: and doing it at a very high level, one of

1455
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: the very best centers in the league. And so does

1456
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: taking him out make everyone around him a little weaker?

1457
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: It certainly looked like that last week when he got

1458
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: hurt early in that game, and so that that's real

1459
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: concerning for the Saints, as is the fact Alvin Kamara's

1460
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: out of practice Wednesday. He finished last week's game, So

1461
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: I would tend to think he'll be okay, but that

1462
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: would be pretty devastating.

1463
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 2: Two heading on the road.

1464
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 5: Falcons one and two at home lost five of the

1465
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 5: last six to the Saints in Atlanta, but they didn't

1466
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 5: have what.

1467
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 2: Are the crowds like in these I mean the Atlanta

1468
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Look, there's a ton.

1469
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 3: Of Saints fans in Atlanta.

1470
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 5: That happened after Katrina, when a lot of folks were displaced,

1471
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 5: so you're gonna have a whole bunch of hood ads

1472
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 5: in there.

1473
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 3: But you know, and the Falcons have to earn their owner,

1474
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 3: Arthur Blake, with toys.

1475
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 5: They've got to earn our fans to come back, so

1476
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 5: it's gonna be an interesting crowd. But boy, with this

1477
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 5: one here, I think Atlanta. I'm gonna take Atlanta in

1478
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 5: this one. I just think their offense is finally starting

1479
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 5: to click, even though I just freaking hated that play

1480
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 5: call at to end the game where you're trying to

1481
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 5: stretch it on fourth down with Bijon, But I just

1482
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 5: think that the way that the Falcons offense is starting

1483
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 5: to click, Kyle Pitts is starting to be used right,

1484
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 5: that Drake London is really starting to emerge a player

1485
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 5: we projected to do. So now they've got some things

1486
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 5: against a very good Saints secondary. The only thing that

1487
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 5: I'm afraid of for the Falcons is, you know, Ti

1488
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 5: Mathe and these guys are taking the ball away right

1489
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 5: and you get that pressure on Kirk Cousins.

1490
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 3: He's gonna give you one.

1491
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 2: So where was that there? They got dudes, Yeah, they

1492
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 2: got dudes.

1493
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:44,719
Speaker 3: In that secondary.

1494
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 4: They do, and I'm My main concern would be for

1495
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 4: Atlanta personnel wise, because there's been all everybody's looking at

1496
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 4: what Vic Fangio did last week against the offense I

1497
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,040
Speaker 4: was playing better than any almost any other offense ever

1498
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 4: to the first couple of weeks of the season, going

1499
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 4: six to one front. Everybody knows like six to one

1500
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 4: against against that that zone run game causes problems. But

1501
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 4: I don't know that everybody has the personnel the Jalen

1502
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 4: Carters of the world, right, the Jordan Davises of the world,

1503
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 4: to do what the Eagles did to the Saints. It's

1504
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,719
Speaker 4: the Saints, and I know Eric McCoy being out is huge,

1505
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 4: but I still believe in Clin Kubiak in this offense

1506
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 4: to get the points where it's kind of I could

1507
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 4: pick every single Falcons game wrong this season because it's

1508
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 4: it's coming down to the wire, right, So the question

1509
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 4: of whether Kirk makes the play. Kirk made the play

1510
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 4: against the Eagles, and then I know that we could

1511
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 4: talk about the DPI call. If he gets that ball

1512
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 4: up to Kyle Pitts, then they probably get that rag

1513
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,600
Speaker 4: in the first one rown, right, And and so like

1514
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 4: I'm going with Derek Carr because I do think Derek

1515
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 4: Carr is playing better football than Kirk cause wow, And here's.

1516
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 5: One thing I'll say about the Saints offense. If you

1517
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 5: watch the Falcons front, like kayen Nellis, the former st

1518
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 5: Anti linebacker, is a stud. Elsewhere on that second level,

1519
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 5: they have shoes, they are not physical. They've got some

1520
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 5: chase linebackers. And if the Saints are able to run

1521
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,879
Speaker 5: the ball like they wore those first two games, Kamara

1522
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 5: or whomever is run the ball might be able to

1523
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 5: pound and get some yards. Because again, kayen Nellis is

1524
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 5: a is an unheralded stud, an INTI linebacker. It's a

1525
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,560
Speaker 5: nice pickup, nice pickup to use him a lot on

1526
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 5: the edge to rush the quarterback as well. But they've

1527
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 5: had Trey Anderson in there and he's he's a chase linebacker.

1528
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 5: He is not someone and teams are going right at him. Right,

1529
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:33,720
Speaker 5: That's something that the Saints could do.

1530
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: When you see a weakness like that, you go after it.

1531
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's a lot of carry over here because

1532
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: the front offices, you know, for the Atlanta comes from

1533
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: New Orleans and David Odiamada's over there, and I love it.

1534
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 1: It's my favorite rivalry because of the fans, because they're

1535
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: funny and they truly hate each other. It's way more collegiate,

1536
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: like not collegiate being friendly, but like the CC. You know,

1537
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 1: it feels like the fans of the SEC who.

1538
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 3: It's secunt I get it.

1539
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 1: And it's like when the Saints are having a bad season,

1540
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,560
Speaker 1: if you if they can just beat the Falcons or

1541
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: vice versa, or if the Falcons have a bad loss,

1542
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 1: that's almost as good for Saints fans as a Saints win.

1543
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 1: And so hey, these are two teams trying to figure

1544
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: each other out. I trust the Saints defense in the

1545
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: end more than any other group in this game. To me,

1546
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: the Falcons are kind of a middle of the road team.

1547
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: We'll see what the Saints are. They're gonna have some

1548
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 1: ups and downs, but I think that defense is gonna

1549
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 1: travel and I really like them. Carl Granderson is playing

1550
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: out of his mind. He's a Pro Bowl he always has.

1551
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: He always seems like a whole other level.

1552
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 2: I mean, he was good. He took a step last

1553
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 2: year and he's taking another step.

1554
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a good player. And one thing about the

1555
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 5: Falcons defense too typical Raheem Morris. They're gonna give up

1556
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 5: five hundred yards between the twenties, but they don't allow touchdown.

1557
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 3: They got something to watch as well, a team that

1558
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 3: gave up both yards and touchdowns.

1559
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 4: Last week, the Las Vegas Raiders got Dalton at home,

1560
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 4: and now they're back at home in a two point favorite.

1561
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 4: Somebody's got a win because the Cleveland Browns got done

1562
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 4: up by the Leak Neighbors and the New York Giants

1563
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,719
Speaker 4: last week. Should the Raiders be a two point favorite?

1564
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 5: Steve, This is tough, especially wh your head coach college

1565
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 5: y'all for making business decisions. But Antonio Pierce has that

1566
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 5: right because he was a badass player, right. He knows

1567
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 5: what's up. He knows when guys are not tough, playing

1568
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 5: tough football. I'm gonna give I'm gonna give the Raiders

1569
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 5: the two points here because Cleveland they're so banged up.

1570
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 5: I mean, right now they're talking about both tackles are

1571
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 5: nicked up again, Miles Garrett is nicked up, David Njoku

1572
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 5: is nicked up, and frankly, they look a mess. Right,

1573
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 5: They're an incredibly talented team, but Patrick, you mentioned earlier

1574
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 5: about some team not knowing what they are like they

1575
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 5: have not established themselves identity wise. We knew what they

1576
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 5: were last year is a great defensive football team that

1577
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 5: hasn't shown up consistently this year, and so I don't

1578
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 5: know them traveling. It's a game that that that the

1579
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 5: Browns should win, right, It's a game.

1580
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 3: They should win.

1581
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 2: Can't believe they're underdogs.

1582
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:11,759
Speaker 3: I mean I can't either.

1583
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 1: If that doesn't tell you that you need to bench

1584
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson sooner than later.

1585
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,879
Speaker 2: And I had all though, yes, he's terrible.

1586
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: He he's missing throws when when he is protected, he's

1587
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 1: completely panicking when he's not. I granted about it for

1588
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: five minutes on Yesterday's NFL Daily, so I'm not going

1589
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: to repeat it there. But I think he is a

1590
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: huge part of the problem based on how we've seen

1591
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: every other quarterback literally that Kevin Stefanski's ever coached in

1592
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland operate.

1593
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: He's not making quick decisions.

1594
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: But to your point about the injuries, and this is

1595
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 1: probably why Miles Garrett now has an achilles injury ANAS

1596
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 1: and he's not practicing at all, and they said he'll

1597
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: make the trip to Vegas and hopefully he'll play. But

1598
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Garrett Jack Conklin Jedge, your Quills, David and Joku, Jordan Hicks,

1599
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: Jerome Ford all out of practice in my Wyatt Teller

1600
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 1: landing on injured reserves. So that's a lot of injuries,

1601
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive line.

1602
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 3: And well Max Crosby playing hurt last week as well.

1603
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,600
Speaker 4: That's stuff both Max Crosby and Miles Garrett dealing with

1604
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 4: the injuries, two guys whose franchises have really underperformed for

1605
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 4: them throughout their careers.

1606
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 3: Let's go over to.

1607
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 4: Another game where there's a bad matchup in terms of style.

1608
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 4: The Pittsburgh Steelers one and a half point favorites, bringing

1609
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,679
Speaker 4: that run game into Indianapolis, who has not stopped anybody

1610
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 4: on the ground the over under thirty nine and a

1611
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 4: half points. Anthony Richardson had some head scratchers last week. Greg,

1612
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 4: does he get it figured out enough to deal with

1613
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 4: that Pittsburgh.

1614
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 2: Sh I've gotten back and forth.

1615
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,600
Speaker 1: I can't decide on this game because something tells me

1616
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 1: the Colts are like a two and two type of

1617
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 1: team and that the Steelers aren't really a four to

1618
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: oh type of team.

1619
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 3: So usually the.

1620
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:59,719
Speaker 1: Schedule, like the record gods just kind of decide, Okay,

1621
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: they'll get one here the Colts, and yet when you

1622
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: watch them, Athy Richardson just isn't taking the check downs.

1623
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: He's not getting the easy stuff. The thing that gets

1624
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: me the most. He's clearly in his own head. You

1625
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,560
Speaker 1: feel for him, he said after the game. He's so

1626
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 1: hard on myself. I got to give myself grace. But

1627
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: he's not, like he's saying. You can almost see him

1628
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: second guessing himself that it really stuck out to me

1629
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: on the RPO decisions. But you would think that would

1630
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 1: be something he could do well. He keeps giving the

1631
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: ball when he should keep it. He keeps keeping the

1632
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: ball when he should give it, and it's just scrambling

1633
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: things up. And it's too bad because Jonathan Taylor's looks

1634
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: like one of the best players in the league right now,

1635
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs in the league.

1636
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, to me, I've got Pitchburg that, you know, beating

1637
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 5: that number. Because when you have a quarterback who's in

1638
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 5: his head and the RPA RPO game is his thing,

1639
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 5: and you've got TJ. Watt and now Nick Herbig because

1640
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 5: Heismith is not two stud outside linebackers who can game

1641
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 5: you up in the rush or in the RPO game.

1642
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 5: That's problematic. So he better jump out of his head

1643
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 5: big time starting on Wednesday and get ready because they

1644
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 5: you know, you're gonna see just some base four man looks.

1645
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 5: They're probably not gonna do anything crazy in a passing situation,

1646
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 5: So heat him up a little bit. But the fact

1647
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 5: he's completing less than fifty percent of his passes, I

1648
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 5: don't think they're nervous at all, especially with Minka Fitzpatrick

1649
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 5: and those guys in the back end.

1650
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 4: I think one thing that makes it difficult for Anthony

1651
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 4: Richardson to work out of this slump is getting the

1652
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 4: possessions that they need because they just haven't been able

1653
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 4: to be on the field very long. Because the defense

1654
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 4: is seeing teams march up and down the field. Joe

1655
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 4: Mixon goes for one fifty three in the opener. They've

1656
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 4: given up more rushing yards to running backs than any

1657
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 4: other team in the league right now, and he's gonna

1658
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,640
Speaker 4: be nit or miss sometimes right right.

1659
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 3: It's that's just a circumstance that he's gonna have to

1660
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 3: work out.

1661
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,560
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, on the other side, as they've started with this

1662
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 4: justin fields package, it's evolved more and more looking pretty good,

1663
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 4: you know, Mike Tomins gonna be Mike tom He's not

1664
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 4: going to say, hey, this is just Justin Fields job now,

1665
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 4: but it seems like he's getting more and more comfortable

1666
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 4: every single week.

1667
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,560
Speaker 3: Can contrast this where it's like Michael Pittman Junior is

1668
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 3: a on a milk carton right now.

1669
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1670
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I just I trust the Steelers passing game more,

1671
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 4: or trust their running game more. It's hard to go

1672
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:18,520
Speaker 4: against Pittsburgh.

1673
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 2: So I don't test their running game.

1674
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 3: Yet.

1675
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: They finished out last week strong against the Chargers. I

1676
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: think that was a big step forward.

1677
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 3: Wellanders has some dudes up front.

1678
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 1: Right, but really the running game has been erratic at best.

1679
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to see them in this matchup against the Colts. Yeah,

1680
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: use Justin Fields a little more in the design running game,

1681
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 1: get naj Harris and Jalen Wore and going. The Colts

1682
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: were able to kind of stop a bad run team

1683
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 1: with the Bears last week so that they could feel

1684
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:46,839
Speaker 1: a little better. So I think that's a key matchup.

1685
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: And then I think the Colt Colts aren't going to

1686
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: be consistent throwing the ball. They need to They need

1687
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: to keep hitting those big plays. Maybe you can use

1688
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of Joey Porter, you know, his aggressiveness

1689
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: against them, who knows and hit a couple of those

1690
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: bombs and and let Taylor and Anthony Richardson do the

1691
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 1: rest on the ground.

1692
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 2: You know, they should be one of the best running games.

1693
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 3: In the league.

1694
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 4: If you want inconsistent passing games, do I have a

1695
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 4: matchup for you? It is the Tennessee Titans against the

1696
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 4: tool lists Miami Dolphins, who offered pretty much nothing. Greg

1697
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 4: on the road against the Seattle Seahawks with Skyler Thompson.

1698
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 4: Will Levis had to pick six, but he didn't do

1699
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,160
Speaker 4: it throwing a doing a cartwheel or anything. Last week

1700
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 4: over under thirty six and a half points. Which offense

1701
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:29,719
Speaker 4: is not going to make the mistakes?

1702
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 3: Greg? Whoa?

1703
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 2: Which one is not going to make the mistakes?

1704
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 1: I think they'll both make the mistakes, but I think

1705
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: the Titans are more likely to make good plays too.

1706
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:44,480
Speaker 1: If I had to choose one, I feel for Orlovski,

1707
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, Riddick and Laura Rutledge. I think this is

1708
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: a good group. I enjoy watching their broadcast too, and

1709
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: both of their last week they got a blow out

1710
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: that was you know, it was a fun blowout. It

1711
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: was a good team seeing an MVP type performance by

1712
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and then this one not what they were

1713
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: hoping for. I continue to not know what the hell's

1714
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: up with Will Levis because he really looks pretty awesome

1715
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,560
Speaker 1: for like eighty percent of the place, But you just

1716
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 1: can't I guess you can't live with that that the

1717
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: other twenty percent just goes so side.

1718
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 3: I mean, that's it's Jay Cutler. I mean that that's

1719
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:15,560
Speaker 3: exactly what is like.

1720
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:17,760
Speaker 1: They'd love it if he was Jay Cutler, like prime

1721
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: Jill Cutley's He's a ways from getting like, you know,

1722
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: a Jay Cutler type BEARSS contract.

1723
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying.

1724
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is like he's gonna he's gonna

1725
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 5: look good, he's gonna make these throws, and then he's

1726
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 5: just gonna do something where you're like, oh my gosh,

1727
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:29,799
Speaker 5: you know he's.

1728
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 3: Gonna give it.

1729
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 5: I actually like Miami in this game because their they're

1730
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 5: playmakers like they don't have. I think this is one

1731
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 5: where McDaniels could be like, Okay, I got a second week,

1732
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 5: whether Skyler Thompson or you know whomever. I think they're

1733
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 5: talking about Snoop Huntley.

1734
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 3: Possibly Kim Boyle. It's a mystery, right, but it's not

1735
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 3: a mystery to me. It's Snoop Huntley.

1736
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 5: I would start snoopomp Huntley, and he started games for

1737
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 5: the Ravens for years. I'd put him in and let

1738
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 5: him get the ball to the playmaker. Snoop is from Miami,

1739
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 5: go ahead and let him get his home game on.

1740
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 5: And I mean Tennessee, just the mistakes that they make.

1741
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 5: You know, Jalen Rams, you may score two touchdowns in

1742
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 5: this game for Miami playing against this so I like

1743
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,600
Speaker 5: the Dolphins in this game. It's just tough for me

1744
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 5: to pick the mistakes. I recognize that they're going to

1745
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 5: continue happening, but if we're evaluating the teams and the

1746
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 5: circumstances that they're in, it's just having seen this team

1747
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 5: without Tua for multiple times over the past few years,

1748
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 5: I'm not going to pick this team like Tim Bowles

1749
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 5: either and Skyler Thompson. They used motion the third lowest

1750
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 5: rate of the Miman daniel era. They can't run Mike

1751
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 5: McDaniel's offense with those two.

1752
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 1: Players, and the Titans do one thing exceptionally well as

1753
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: a team which has stop the run, like no one

1754
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: can do physical, you know, And I know the Packers

1755
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: got some go into the outside, but they were created.

1756
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it's going to happen this week.

1757
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Dolphins had a lot of

1758
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: issues with to a healthy and that was something that

1759
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 1: was really on my run, That's what I mean. And

1760
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,560
Speaker 1: they even the offense didn't play well for six and

1761
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 1: a half quarters with Tua and suddenly you take them

1762
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: out and you think, is this the worst team in

1763
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: the NFL, because you know, efficiency wise DVOA so far

1764
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 1: they are. They're dead last. And it's not just the offense,

1765
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: it's the defense. The defense is not playing well either.

1766
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know where this team has any positives.

1767
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,679
Speaker 1: And yeah, they're going to be in the primetime spotlight

1768
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: with everyone watching.

1769
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 5: Everyone's gonna be flipping over to the other game on

1770
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 5: ABC because that is a dandy Seattle in Detroit.

1771
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,640
Speaker 1: Hey, you know, we only get how many games now?

1772
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: I used to know it was two fifty six, So

1773
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: now what is it? It's two seventy or something like,

1774
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: there's only two seventy four. There's only two seventy four

1775
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: of these uh babies, They're all beautiful. So I still

1776
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: love our Titans Dolphins Monday night game. Maybe it'll be

1777
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: so bad it's good. That's perfect. Uh, you guys are

1778

Speaker 4: Uh.
