1
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Rolling, rolling and running and he's gonna have the floe knock.

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: The ball comes out, helmets off, flags her down. It

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: was Kiko Alonso who delivered the blow. Placos on his

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: feet and Hardbow's yelling at Alonso right now, he's in

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: Alonso space. You just lost your quarterback for the game.

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: And Hardball is livid, and they're going to roll out

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: play action in zone and it's gone for the touchdown.

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: It's Watson with the reception, Malon with a touchdown pass.

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: The chain gang fell asleep. I wonder why forty to

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: nothing the Baltimore Ravens take out the Miami Dolphins on

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: a strange night in Baltimore, Thursday night football and a

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: strange set up here. Usually here Dan Hansas starting out

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the shows this year, but it's Greg Rosenthal alongside Mark Cessler,

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: and we're going to get to the rest of the

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: week eight games shortly. But first, Mark, we got to

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: talk about a wild night that could have only ended

17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,279
Speaker 1: in one way with a cat running along the field,

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: a cute little cat, even his action unfolded, this little

19
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: cat running darting up and down the field in a

20
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: very symbolic, strange way to end a game that I

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: think if we could do any service to the listeners

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: of this show, if you didn't watch this game, listen

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: to our review and never watch it, potentially, Yeah, that's

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: that's not a bad idea. I was really, you know,

25
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: taken by how Mark's just eyes lit up. He was

26
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: so excited to see this cat on the field. But yeah,

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: this game had a little bit of everything, kind of

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: not in a good way. We'll talk about the hit

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: that took Joe Flacco out of the game. He suffered

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: a concussion and was ruled out in the second half though,

31
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a Endomican sue brief choke of

32
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett, which felt like it's something that was just

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: inevitable would happened. There was a fumble Rooski touchdown, there

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: was someone getting poked in the eye, and then there

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: was another Dolphins shutout. This is the third time this

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: season that they should have been shut out twice they

37
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: actually were once. They shared they scored a garbage touchdown

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: on the last play from scrimmage against the Jets. It

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: it's crazy how bad this offense is. And there there

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: four and three. Yeah, I tweeted out at one point

41
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: that after the first half, which was an abomination if

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: you're a Dolphins fan that it was the sloppiest first

43
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: half I had seen, and at all I got from

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins fans was please watch the rest of games. And

45
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: I have watched the Dolphins games, but maybe this just

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: stood out as I thought Baltimore's defense, which we've seen flashes,

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: especially with Brandon Williams back a j G I at

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: twenty one yard run out of the gate. His next

49
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: nine runs go for a total of three yards. They

50
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: just completely shut down Miami's run game, and then you

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: have Matt Moore getting whacked back there. They had no

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: way to operate. I mean, as I ended up with

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: twenty three yards in thirteen Carrey, so he basically got

54
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: it all on that first on. And everyone who you

55
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: know spent a week saying, oh, this often is gonna

56
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: be better with Matt Morton, you know so much, so

57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: much for that, And as bad as Jake Cutler has

58
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: been this year and more certainly looked shaky tonight, I

59
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: think you have to when you see j J I,

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: who I think is a talented runner, and these quarterbacks

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: struggling this much, I think you have to look at

62
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: it there's deeper problems than just the quarterbacks. It's the

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: it's the offensive line, number one, and I guess it's

64
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: the scheme and the coaching and the teaching and all that.

65
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: It's funny because Tony Romo came out of the gate

66
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: praising uh Gaze and Adam Gaze. We all know is

67
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: a talented coach and he's he's got the track record,

68
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: but his ability to scheme in game against the opponent

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: and what he's seen, but he doesn't have the tools

70
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: you've got. You've got a second string quarterback, honestly, really

71
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: someone who could be a third stringer behind Jay Cutler

72
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: and Ryan Tannehill. And I just think the offensive line

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: is not run blocking and he was a sitting duck

74
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: back there he was. We should talk about the Ravens

75
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: who are now four and four, and who knows this

76
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: is a tough team to get a handle on defensively

77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: because they've given up so many yards in the running game.

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: But now they have Brandon Williams back, they seem to

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: be putting it together. But the big news out of

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: this game is Flacco takes a hit from Kiko Alonso

81
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: that I I saw a lot of people defending it

82
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: in that he slid late. I don't know. I think

83
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: Kiko Alonso is gonna face a potential suspension for this

84
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: hit for hitting him hard in the head area. That

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: even if you hit a guy after he slides too

86
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: to be able to control it, and he really took

87
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: him out with the head and it was just it

88
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: was just such bad, a bad thing for NFL fans

89
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, and it was a bad look because

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: the helmet comes ripped off and then we find out

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: that you know, his ear, he's bleeding from the air.

92
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, he's having it stitched in the locker room.

93
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 1: And that created a wave of other violence where center

94
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Jensen, I mean, and knocked Kiko Alonso's helmet off.

95
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: Then the domin ensue, who's pretty he's been a well

96
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: behaved gentleman for quite a while. He popped off tonight.

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: But the whole the whole game had a few allien

98
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: of desperation from Miami and it got very violent towards

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: the end. Yeah, And and the Ravens should be given

100
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: credit for they had a hundred ninety six yards of

101
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: offense in the first half that was almost all with Flacco. Uh,

102
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: so they were dominating this game. They came out that

103
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: was one of the probably the best offensive game against

104
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: a Dolphins defense who has had some nice moments this year.

105
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: So that's something to feel good about. But now Flacca

106
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: has got a concussion, They've got a game against the Titans,

107
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: and then they have a buy so just doing the

108
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: Matthew wonder if he's gonna sit out that week and

109
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: they just hope they can try to steal a win

110
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: with Ryan Mallett. Meanwhile, we get the Alex Collins national

111
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: TV coming out party a little bit. I mean, he's

112
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: been great this year, hundred and thirteen yards. Crazy week,

113
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: we read, you know, this cavalcade of Seahawks running backs

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: that you know, this guy's this guy's trying too hard,

115
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: it's not showing up on the field, this guy's injured,

116
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: this guy is healthy, and we can't find a lead back.

117
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: And Alex Collins has looked like a lead in the

118
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks defense last preseason and Chris Wesley was

119
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: all over this Alex Collins and even this year too,

120
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: he did not look like a guy that you would

121
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: have ever expected. So you just never know. And he's

122
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: had a really good habit of making the first guy missed,

123
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: and so the Ravens are a team that tend to

124
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: get better over the second half of the year. We

125
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: know that they own these Adam gaze uh Dolphins. They

126
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: also smacked him last year thirty four to six. That's

127
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: seventy four to six over two years. That's ugly. The

128
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: good thing is, for those of you that sat and

129
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: enjoyed this game, you get the Dolphins next week against

130
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: Oakland on Sunday Night Football, and then the NFL has

131
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: done you a triple treat by putting them on Monday

132
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: Night Football against the Panthers the week after. Why do

133
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: they triple stack these teams because you don't know what

134
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: their fate is going to be, and teams change over

135
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: the course of a year. If you lose a player

136
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: at one point and then you have three straight National games,

137
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: you're out of luck. You probably are getting Joe Jay

138
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Cutler back for that game. But I don't know if

139
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: that makes it. Does that help? I don't know if

140
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: that means. Let's ask Chris Wesley and if he thinks that, yeah,

141
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: anymore Entice and we've spent way too much time on

142
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: this stinker. Let's go to the rest of the week

143
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: eight previews, sending it over to day Cats the Around

144
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. He's making the world a better place one.

145
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

146
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas, and I am joined by

147
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: room filled with some heroes. Mark Sassler to my left

148
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: and Greg Roads with autom my right. What's up, boys,

149
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: We've gotten a very strange Dan Hansas. Um all afternoon today,

150
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: and I think I know why. Dan is embroiled and

151
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: yet another corporate level battle with a major enemy downstairs

152
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: in our break room. And there's been a signage it's

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: been rotating, but it is on the soda machine. And

154
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: Dan is very upset about the fact that the soda

155
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: machine has been either broken or not functioning at proper

156
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: levels for upwards of a month. Now you're you're saying this,

157
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: this has affected Dan so much that it's impacting the

158
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: rest of his life and frankly, his professional I think

159
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: what's impacting him in is is no one seems to

160
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: be doing anything about this. Mark's barking up the right tree. Um.

161
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I like a good fight, you know, I like I

162
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: like being the underdog. And what's a bigger underdog scenario

163
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: than they're being a soda machine in the break room

164
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: that for six weeks now, no fool in here six

165
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: weeks has been stealing money of the underlings of this company,

166
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: which I include myself in, and no one's doing anything

167
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: about it. And then you wonder how far this goes,

168
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: And Mark, I know you're a conspiracy guy. I'm wondering

169
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: if this goes all the way to the top. I

170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: think it might because I think one thing that's happening,

171
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: and and and for the for people who are pro soda,

172
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: they are losing out because we have a Starbucks machine

173
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: in our breakroom too, and we'll move on to the

174
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: games very shortly. But where the Starbucks machine to break down,

175
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: our office would melt, there would be immediate people in

176
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: there to fix the right away soda. So the soda

177
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: lovers and they're me, I think the population may be smaller.

178
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: They are being ignored. It's a big coffee You think

179
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: it is big coffee out in a big spot. I

180
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: just wanted to be known that money is going to

181
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: that machine, no goods are being dispensed, and big Soda

182
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: is still taking home the profits. So you tell me

183
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: if that's something I should not be on my radar.

184
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: I think it should be. I think you're you're a

185
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Justice fighter. All right, thank you, Mark. This again, this

186
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: is the Around the NFL Podcast, presented by Head and Shoulders.

187
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: You heard at the very top of the show a

188
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: little sess and rosy action. Get excited everybody. They talked

189
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: about here's the dude dream team you haven't seen before.

190
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: The Dolphins Ravens one Thursday night game that I was

191
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: planning wholeheartedly to miss entirely and watch maybe five days

192
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: from now the Thursday night till yes, between the Dolphins

193
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: and Ravens. But there's so much more to talk about,

194
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: uh here in week eight? Well that's so much because

195
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something. I want everybody to be completely

196
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: aware of what's going on here. Two teams, six teams.

197
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm buying two teams played is day twenty four teams remaining.

198
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: Divide that by two twelve games to talk about and wow,

199
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: and one of those games that I guess we'll get

200
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: to very quickly is is in that early London spot,

201
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: so it really thins out the whole the Sunday afternoon

202
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: morning schedule lighter. All right, So we'll get to all

203
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: these games, we'll get to our locks and see where

204
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: we are with that. Uh let's start. Yes, in London,

205
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: Oh sweet London, Oh London, You're my town. That's not

206
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: a real song. Oh London, London, Oh London, your motel.

207
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: If you're into a common show tune right there, but

208
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: different words, Greg, a secret show tune head, it's not

209
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: your look how insecure Greg is that he had to

210
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: correct a secret is always trying to say. It's a

211
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: very out there if you if you go to Fleg's house,

212
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: it is a show tune emporium. Every once in a while,

213
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, you're out in the real world and maybe

214
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: like I see you know, it's someone that listens to

215
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: this show, like my cousin, justin whatever, and they'll bring

216
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: up something that from the show, one of the many

217
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: just fictions that you make up as part of like

218
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, your little world that you have on this show,

219
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: and be like, well, no, that's just none of yeah puppeteer, Yeah,

220
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: none of that's actually true. Dan just you know, makes

221
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: up things. This one not a fiction though, so, but yes,

222
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: the London Greg a huge Cats fan at the Winter

223
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: Garden Theater um all right. Let's start with the Minnesota Vikings,

224
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: who are ride and high. They've won three straight, four

225
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: or five and during this stretch, my goodness, during this stretch,

226
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers exited the picture. So things are going well,

227
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: uh for the Vikings. And now they travel to London. Oh,

228
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: sweet London, London, you're on my town, uh, to face

229
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: face the worst team in football, the Cleveland Browns. And

230
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: mark get us going here with the Vikings. They are

231
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: in a very good position here to play their overseas football.

232
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be stunning if they don't do

233
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: more than simply handle this game but throttle Cleveland because

234
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: it's an It's an awful matchup for the Browns. This

235
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: maybe the best defense in football right now, and I

236
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: don't know if it's even necessarily close. And you're going

237
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: against a Cleveland offense that is beyond dysfunctional, endless quarterback switches,

238
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of wide receiver, you really

239
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: have nothing on that attack outside of Duke Johnson, who's

240
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: quietly having a very nice season. And Minnesota on offense.

241
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: On defense, you know, since Dalvin Cook's been out, Minnesota

242
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: has been able to run the ball just as well.

243
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean with the combination of Jared McKinnon and Latavius Murray.

244
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: So what is it the Cleveland even though they played

245
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: a nice game defensively last week, What what do you

246
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: look at and say, here's their chance against Minnesota. I

247
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: don't see it. Nothing. And you're without maybe the best

248
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: player on the team, Miles Garrett, who's in the concussion protocol.

249
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: You get the Shaun Kaiser back, which I'm surprised about

250
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: that he's back in the starting up that team for now.

251
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: But I do think there's an interesting subtext of this show.

252
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: I feel like hasn't been talked a lot nationally. This

253
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: week is case Keenum playing for his job before the

254
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: bye And maybe that's not like the most intriguing storyline ever.

255
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: He lost his job soon after playing in London last year.

256
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: But I think Teddy Bridge Ruter is getting back to

257
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: the point where he's gonna be ready to play. He's

258
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: fully cleared medically, They're gonna have a bye week That

259
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of makes sense as the time for Teddy to start,

260
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: and Keenum has been fine the last few weeks. He

261
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: gets Stefon Diggs back, but if he doesn't play his

262
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: best or maybe even if he does play his best,

263
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: I could see them yanking him there in the bye.

264
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: It puts them into an interesting position because you went

265
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: out and traded for Sam Bradford last year, you now

266
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: have three if Teddy Bridgewater is healthy, functional quarterbacks, and

267
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: it's a lot to deal with coaching ones their trade

268
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: deadlines coming up. I wonder if you ever would move

269
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: one of these two I would say, or one of

270
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: these three I would say, no. Well, it'd be tough

271
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: because Bradford would be the guy to move, but he's injured.

272
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: He's so injured and stay deep at the position. It's

273
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: a strange spot for him. He's making a lot of

274
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: money and is so unclear. I feel like a little

275
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: bit too much is being made of the vikings Um

276
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: having a an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback position.

277
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: They have like three decent quarterbacks and maybe not a

278
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: good one, well maybe Teddy Bridgewater. And it's asking a

279
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: lot for him to be great coming back, but he's

280
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: still got the potential inside of him. I'm kind of

281
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: not I'm kind of expecting Teddy Bridgewater to be starting

282
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: and and I feel like it's about fifty fifty that

283
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: it's in two weeks when they're when they're after the

284
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: One more note about the Vikings offense that may surprise

285
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: you Dalvin Cook's injury. I think a lot of people

286
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: wrote the that wrote the Vikings off after that injury,

287
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: but they're um. They've averaged a hundred and forty six

288
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: point seven yards per games since Cook's gotten injured. It

289
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: was a hundred and five eight yards a game before that.

290
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: So good discycle back to that point. They did that

291
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: come up right? It did, but you hammered at home

292
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: with some did say that, but we got to it.

293
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: But you get, you get, you added some depth. Sessler

294
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: did mention it. Thank you that he hit it with

295
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: the same level of gravitas he didn't. Moving on this

296
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: back for this game, by the way, which is huge

297
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: for that offense. Moving um. The Oakland Raiders um coming

298
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: off what was um A vital necessary when they needed

299
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: to find a way to beat the Chiefs at home

300
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: on Thursday night and they did in the most uh

301
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: spectacular way possible on the crazy ending thirty one thirty.

302
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: Now they got to get some momentum going, so they

303
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: head to Buffalo. Not an easy match up here against

304
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: the Bills. Greg Rosenthal, who continue to impress their defense

305
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: has been good this season. Last week was really nice.

306
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: The way they found a way to win that game,

307
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: which maybe, uh they haven't been able to do that

308
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: in past years was partly explains their long postseason drought.

309
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: The Bills have a chance to make another big statement

310
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: this week. You know I haven't sent Sometimes I'll send

311
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: in a request to our UH Sunday Commandant, David Eally,

312
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: who helps, you know, divvy out the game command sign

313
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: me up for a little Raiders Bills Well, Greg, too bad,

314
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: I've been assigned. But I'll tell you what I will

315
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: trade it. I'll give it to you because I could

316
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: care less in a big spot. I'll give it to you.

317
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: This is intriguing to me. Tyrod Taylor, UH big week

318
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: for him, career high. I think number eight on the

319
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: QB Index. What a season this guy's having. It was

320
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: all offense. It was all offense last week. I mean

321
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: they're asking him to make four or five crazy big

322
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: plays a week where it's really all him, and he

323
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: does it. And I'm intrigued to see if he can

324
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: keep that going or whether the Raiders team that we

325
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: saw last week at the end of the game really

326
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: throughout offensively is gonna stick because I feel like they're

327
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: not every week, So it must win for the Raiders.

328
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: But if they lose this game and they're back to

329
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: three and five, it's like, what was that come back

330
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: even four against Kansas. That's the crazy thing about this

331
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: game is which Raiders team to be get. It's kind

332
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: of imperative that they follow up that great win with

333
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: another win, because, yeah, it feels like they're right back

334
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: where they're start. If they dropped to three and five,

335
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: they're kind of right back where they started. And you

336
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: don't eat can't even that excited anymore about last week's

337
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: when they got to win the game. But that's why

338
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, I like this Bills team. I think they

339
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: I think they are really a team to watch when

340
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: I when you try to figure out those two wild

341
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: card positions, I wouldn't be surprised if both of these

342
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: teams end up getting the spot. But at the same time,

343
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, if the Raiders can't find a way, they're

344
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: gonna really be in an uphill climb in the second

345
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: half of the season. That's why this matchup is so important.

346
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Buffalo is they're undefeated, at home. We've been

347
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: saying it all year. They're a tough out at home,

348
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: even when they were an average team, it's a tough

349
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: place to go play. They are dominating the turnover scenario,

350
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: and that's why I think they've been so successful. I mean,

351
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: they're a weird team. Their entire collection of wide outs

352
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: has thirty four catches all year. That's the thing. I mean.

353
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: This Raiders secondary is so vulnerable. David Amerson getting fill

354
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: aid last week. I mean this, this Raider's defense is

355
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: a disappointment. I think it's going to prevent them from

356
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: making the playoffs. But you look at Buffalo and you think,

357
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: how can they really keep moving the ball like this.

358
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: It's been a great coaching job by Rick Dennis in

359
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: their coordinator and Tyrod together kind of making making something

360
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: out of nothing. But the Raiders are so much more talented.

361
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing I've just been uh I

362
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: am Ian with with my supervisor David Eally, and I commented,

363
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: I told him Greg wants Oakland Buffalo. I said, I

364
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: can take a different one, going to announce it on

365
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: pod that he gets it, and David really says, definitely

366
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: make it into a thing that was David Eely's suggestion.

367
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: Definitely make it. That's how That's how David really communicates

368
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: with me. Well, there's two things there. He likes, you know,

369
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: people to be fighting with each other. That's problematic. And

370
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: then two he wants his name mentioned a lot. You know, Well,

371
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: so you have you're covering this game, now, all right,

372
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: we'll be I will do nothing. Still single, right now,

373
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: he's in the dating We might have to check in

374
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: with Dave just to see where he's at. But obviously, famously,

375
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: his girlfriend, his college girlfriend, broke his heart and he

376
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: has not been able to open up since. Well, maybe

377
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: I'll check in with David a little bit, famously like

378
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: that's that's the first thing anyone says about him. That

379
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: got dumped, brutally jumped in a big spot and took

380
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: a piece of him. Let's move on the Indianapolis culture

381
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: two and five. Uh, you know, arguably they got two wins,

382
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: but some people might say they're the worst team in football.

383
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: That's how bad things are going. Andrew Luck shut down,

384
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: perhaps not gonna show up on the field now this year.

385
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: They got shut out last week. Doesn't get any worse.

386
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: Now they go on the road to face Uh, a

387
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati team that was not a on it. We're not

388
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: able to hang with the big boys Mark in pittsburgheen

389
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: loss in Week seven, and they are, like the Raiders,

390
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: in a very difficult spot if they don't win this week,

391
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: and you really figure that could set the stage for

392
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: a blood bath. Yeah, it's the It's a total pivotal week.

393
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: They have two wins, one of them is against the Browns,

394
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: and you know you, I think they're gonna take this one.

395
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: But I am just not totally impressed with the team

396
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: that I watched against Pittsburgh. After this, they go on

397
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: the road against the Jaguars, the Titans, and the Broncos,

398
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: and I feel like when they come out of that stretch,

399
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: this mirage that Cincinnati is going to morph into a

400
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: playoff team will be removed from our mind. Your subtweet

401
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: and hands us right here. No, No, I think a

402
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: lot of people know a lot of driving the old

403
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: Bengals come back. The Bengals. I think we're a team

404
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: you looked at before the season and said it is

405
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: logical they could bounce back. But I think at this

406
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: point what I'm seeing, at least, I just don't see

407
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: a playoffs. I thought they look really good for most

408
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: of the first half of that game, and then I

409
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: think the Pittsburgh kind of distanced themselves and show that

410
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: they are a better team, especially at home. So I

411
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: don't know if I learned that much about Cincinnati um

412
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: in that game, but UM, I think that. Yeah. I

413
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: we don't lock up games that are um one sided

414
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: like this, but I would be absolutely stunned if you

415
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: locked this up. I won't do it. I told you

416
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: about integrity. Blocks are about integrity. You gotta look yourself

417
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: in the mirror. I won't do it. I think the

418
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: Bengal is gonna win this game and then watch out

419
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: the next week. I really want to see at Jacksonville

420
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 1: referendum for both teams, but I don't want to get

421
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: ahead of myself right now. UM Cincinnati needs to show

422
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: an idiot that could be a problem. It's been a

423
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: rough six quarters for Jacoby are Set and the Colts.

424
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: The hey we're kind of punching above our weight storyline

425
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: ended after halftime on that Monday night football game against Tennessee,

426
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: and it's been the absolute disaster of six quarters since then.

427
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: And I think this is a good Bengals defense ranked

428
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: in the top five and football outsiders going into last week,

429
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure aboundoun you know, went backwards a little bit.

430
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: They gotta get Joe Mixing going there. Everyone's like, well,

431
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: why don't they just hand the ball off? Why don't

432
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: they give the ballox? Yeah, I know Joe Mixon saying that,

433
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 1: But you gotta you gotta produce a little more, just

434
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: the whole running game. I don't think it's the fault

435
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: of the running backs, but they don't have a running game,

436
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: whether it's Bernard Hill or Mixican. They don't really have

437
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: had a couple of runs against Pittsburgh early on because

438
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: you're you're right down, and they fell apart in the

439
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: second half they did, they didn't even show up. But

440
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: Mixing had a couple of runs where you saw what

441
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: everyone's been talking about. Why do you why handcuff him

442
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: this way? Just let him? Why not let him freeze?

443
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: He's been a disastrous week, by the way for the Colts.

444
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: I mean, they lose Malik Hooker for the season. There's

445
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: a lot of drama on that Austa and I don't know,

446
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: I just there's tanking articles coming out. Their defense is

447
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: on pace to give up more points than any Cults team.

448
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: They're now the worst defense in the league, so put

449
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: up a forty burger. Bengals moving on the Los Angeles

450
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: Chargers out of nowhere and followed a four game losing

451
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: streak to start the season with three straight wins. Shut

452
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: out the Broncos last week at home. Now a big,

453
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: big challenge the New England Patriots. Welcome them uh to

454
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: uh Foxborough. And I'll tell you what, Greg feels like

455
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: another good spot for the path because the Paths have

456
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: figured it out on defense and now everything is clear

457
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: sale into thirteen and three. You gotta face it, I

458
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: am not buying this narrative. Okay, oh yeah, Now they've

459
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: just figured it out. The defense is gonna be well,

460
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: that's what happens every year. That's why I'm saying it. Well,

461
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: first of all, they don't have so little pass rushing.

462
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: Literally every year, Danta high Tower is out for the season.

463
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: This is news that broke on Thursday. They have so

464
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: few eyes who are difference makers in that front seven

465
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: or have the potential to be, because I don't think

466
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: we ever saw the real Dante hight Tower this year.

467
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: That his loss is massive because they're so thin at

468
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: that spot. David Harris, I think is going to be

469
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: more in the mix now, like you could he have

470
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: been less in the mix. It's a fair point Chandler

471
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: being friends. I don't know. I mean, even even the

472
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: Falcons game where they're playing smart, they're still giving up yards,

473
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: giving up yards per play. This is not necessarily an

474
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: easy matchup for them. Maybe I should take this game

475
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: forgot this one? Was that was that one? What if

476
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: we switched back? We'll have to figure that. No, I'm

477
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: not getting back into it with really who did confirm

478
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: he's still single? By the way, But I just think

479
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: you've watched Tom Brady weekend. I didn't even need to

480
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: do that. It was out there is a confirmed he.

481
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: I think if you're Tom Brady, I mean, he's taken

482
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: a lot of hits this season, even though I think

483
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: their offense obviously has been stellar, and I just think

484
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: the Melvin Ingram, Joey Bosa, maybe Tom Brady gets knocked

485
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: around a little bit in this. I kind of have

486
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: a strange lean about this game. My a f C

487
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl team starting to get their get their sea

488
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: legs under them again, and I understand this doesn't happen

489
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: a lot in Foxboro, and I'm gonna tell you right now.

490
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna happen. The Chargers are gonna go

491
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: into fox They're gonna play the Patriots, and I'm gonna

492
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: lock it up. You know sometimes when we're said, you know,

493
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: playing along and setting that up, and we're going, oh no, no,

494
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: literally this, I mean, oh no, I don't think it's

495
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has never beaten Tom Brady, which is crazy,

496
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: including one and one wonderful playoff game from it. I

497
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: think it's two thousand and nine or so. But I

498
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen. All right, how about this, And

499
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: I'll only let one person take me up on the sandwich,

500
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give Mark right at first refusal since

501
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: it's your lock. The Patriots will be up by double

502
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: digit points midway through the first quarter on Sunday. He

503
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: gotta take me on, and I will take take you up.

504
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to, I will. That seems crazy. I

505
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: would take you up on that too. I mean, but

506
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: you can't go to the desert to find I mean,

507
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: he is thinking about he's thinking about Ingram versus Nate

508
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: Soldier who has been a disaster. The rest of the

509
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: offensive line has played better, but someone's gonna be over

510
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: on soldiers side, whether it's Ingram or Bosa. You've got

511
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: a defense playing better, You've got an offensive little getting

512
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: in rhythm. But I do think the Patriots will win

513
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: because if you watch the last week's game and a

514
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: little bit against the Jets, it started to look more

515
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: like the Patriots offense. They were effective early, scoring a

516
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: lot of points, going deep down the field, asking Tom

517
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: Brady to make a lot of crazy throws. Not the

518
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. You're seeing more of the rhythm,

519
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: the timing, the quick passes. You see Brandon Cooks really

520
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: coming into his own. You see the whole Patriots vibe.

521
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: All the different running backs coming in out. Who's in

522
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: it running back? I don't know. They're all working out.

523
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out. Greg is not even wearing

524
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: clothes about the ways at this point, like Dean Lewis

525
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: is uh is the guy that is really going to

526
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: take their offense now to like that scary level. I

527
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: know they've already been great this season, but he's looking

528
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: better and better every week. He's gonna start scoring touchdowns

529
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: like it's twenty fifteen. Again, that's my prediction. I think

530
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: he is a nasty player and uh is only getting better.

531
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: Not not a good sign for the rest of the Apes.

532
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: Advantage goes to the Patriots in this game. Okay, lock

533
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: that up, alright, Moving on the Chicago Bears. How about

534
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: them Bears? John Fox says, I want to keep coaching

535
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't want to get fired, so

536
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I gotta figure out a way to win like six

537
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: to eight games. I guess what now, he's three and

538
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: four after a two game winning streak, and uh, I

539
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't have said this four weeks ago. But that bad

540
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: news is he's gotta play the Saints. Now. The Bears

541
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: travel to Nola and oh my god, Mark Greg's Greg's

542
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: licking his chops right now. He can't wait to talk

543
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: about the Saints. But you're gonna get us going here.

544
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: Why have the Saints turned into a juggernaut in the

545
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: past four weeks? Well, I gets a couple of things.

546
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean they are right now watching them are running

547
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: one of the most creative offenses league wide. The way

548
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: that they're using Alvin Kamara, guy like Ted Kin that

549
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: in other offenses have been strictly a deep threat is

550
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: used in multiple places all over the field. And let's

551
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: talk about their defense. You know, if you're Mitchell Robinski

552
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: who has twelve completions in two weeks, that was a

553
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: nice que win last week with two defensive touchdowns and

554
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: nothing happening on offense. But you have to do more

555
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: than run the ball. And I just don't know. I

556
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: don't know how. I don't know how they match up.

557
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: They don't match up well with the Saints for me.

558
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: And by the way, planning, New Orleans is one of

559
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: the toughest places to play in the NFL. Saints are

560
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: a ball control offense. You know, they tried to go

561
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: deep a few times early. I don't know if Drew

562
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: brees Is. People have been waiting for the end of

563
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: Drew brees Is deep ball for a while. That's ageless

564
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: to me. Maybe maybe it's coming a little this year.

565
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: But he doesn't need to. They're they're a short passing attack.

566
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: You're right with Alvin Kamara, Like to me, he is

567
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: kind of the key to their offense once they got

568
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: to Rown Armstead back their left tackle. I don't know.

569
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: He might be the most valuable skill position guy on

570
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: the team other than than Drew Brees. This rookie class.

571
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: Dan Handon has changed the franchise, Marcus Marshawn Lattimore is

572
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: a franchise changing cornerback. Just to make we did it

573
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: was up for the pickup show. You know what's the

574
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: crossover with the audience. So what you're saying is, maybe,

575
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: like Mickey Loomis, who's just produced fantastic draft class, every

576
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: NFL GM should double up and take care of the

577
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: city's basketball team at the same time. Or everyone should

578
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: take care of the Pelicans together, or he hasn't been

579
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: making the decisions in years, and Sean Payton is, but

580
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: they don't tell us that for some reason. I don't

581
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: really know. Ryan ram Check first round pick, has been

582
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: huge for them at right tackle, Marcus Williams getting good

583
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: snaps at safety a starter there, and then Camara too.

584
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: It's just like it a youth infusion. What lock this up? No? No,

585
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: that is a non edgy lock no um no. Like

586
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: usually I don't condone sports bigamy. But if you break

587
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: up with the Pats and just joined the Saints full

588
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: time as a fan, no, no, I would never do that. Okay,

589
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: I like this Saints team though they're pretty pretty lazy,

590
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: pretty lame the last few years. But this is funny.

591
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Turned the ball of either Breeze had two early interceptions

592
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: against Green Bay, but they have not. They simply have

593
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: not turned the ball over. And by the way, if

594
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: they if they take care of business this week, which

595
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: I think all of us in the nursing room think

596
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: they will, they get another home game next week against

597
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: the Tampa team they can't see to get it together.

598
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: You could be talking about the Rams on a six

599
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: game winning streak if they just continue to play at

600
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: or near this level. Marktram West's old old guy got

601
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: He is such a good player. I think he could

602
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: have had a better career if he's somewhere else other

603
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: than New Orleans. But he's so valuable. He also seems

604
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: like a leader behind the scenes. And you're playing Trabinsky.

605
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: Last last thing on this game, I know we should

606
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 1: move people. Got on them for only throwing seven passes.

607
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: He took four sacks. I think he's taken seven or

608
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: eight sacks and thirty two dropbacks. Those sacks have mostly

609
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: been on Trabinsky. He's been holding onto the ball and

610
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: you're not picking up any first down it's hard to

611
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: throw the ball when you're never getting any first downs

612
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: and you're taking sack and you have no one he

613
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: could turn around. I'm just saying some of that's on him.

614
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: And to answer your question, there is no crossover between

615
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: our listenership and our viewership. Oh that's sad. You should

616

Speaker 1: watch Pick Them. I got you out time. I got

Speaker 1: show with Damna Shack and Move the Sticks excuse me

623
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: shepherding logs and the Game Money and Theory podcast Cynthia

624
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: and Money Money who went out of his way by

625
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: the way on a Damna Scheck show too him and

626
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: Check both. I respect these guys. They went through their

627
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: they cycled through their imitations of each of us. I'll

628
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: just say I would invite you to go find that

629
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: and listen to and find a few if you thought

630
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: it was fair. It might the upshot for me. I

631
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: felt slightly insulted. I have been sending money who hates

632
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: the band Live? Dan and I you know we like

633
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: the band Live to some degree, sending endless music videos,

634
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: pestering his timeline with this. Yes, that has been a

635
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: good way to get revenge against Money. He called my

636
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 1: voice none to script if I if I'm not. I

637
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: thought he was a little bit. It was a little

638
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: savage towards you personally, Greg, nothing you had heard before.

639
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: Check did like the pizzeria delivery guy for me. Uh

640
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: but I thought Money came pretty hard. I am going

641
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: to give him a pass because in nine interactions previous

642
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: with Money, he's been a gentleman and a scholar. I

643
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 1: genuinely liked the man, so I love Money, but I

644
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: thought the best revenge I could get would be to

645
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: never listen to That's that's the approach. I'm going, all right,

646
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: enough of that malarkey. Who cares? Honestly, that's the two

647
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: words that I have. Who cares? Money? Is that a

648
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: good impression? Alright? Money, I have fourteen jobs. It's a

649
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: good voice. The Falcons are three and three. They're the

650
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: team that everybody thought was gonna be just cruising to

651
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: another NFC South title. But what happened. They stopped scoring

652
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: poor and they didn't get stops, and then you lose

653
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: three games in a row, including that no show at

654
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: Foxboro UM on Sunday night. So they're now three and

655
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: three and now they go to play the Jets at

656
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: the meadow Lands and Greg the Jets have been feisty,

657
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 1: but there's a very bad DNA trade that they have

658
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: that is makes a very frustrating watch as a fan.

659
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: As I can attest, they hang with teams, they get

660
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: ahead of teams, but they don't have a killer instinct,

661
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: and when you're not that good, you tend to get

662
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: picked off late in games. That's true. This is the

663
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: game where I think the two teams could be angling

664
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: to be down double digits heady into the fourth quarter.

665
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, like neither one. These are the these are

666
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: the two teams that you just don't trust at all

667
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: with the lead late in the game. Yeah, that's fair.

668
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: The Jets blew to fourteen point leads the last two

669
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: weeks and now people forget uh they took care of us.

670
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Their season could be so there, so different. But also

671
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: three and four still feels pretty nice to considering what

672
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: they could have been Jacksonville. They had a ten point

673
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: lead in the fourth quarter almost blew that game too.

674
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: So it's a major problem and it really is on

675
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: Todd Bowls and I thought, I think that Bowls has

676
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: done a really nice job this season and they're one

677
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: of the more pleasant surprises in the league. But at

678
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: the same time, it is kind of on your coach

679
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: to find a way to ensure this stuff doesn't happen.

680
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: I think some of their play calling has been unimaginative

681
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: in these second half that's led to these troubles and

682
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: letting teams back in the game. On the flip side, Mark,

683
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, at what point do you worry that the

684
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: Falcons are broken on offense? Would you feel like they

685
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: have a major crisis right now in that side of

686
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: the ball. They don't take care of business, and I

687
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: don't think this is an easy game for them. This

688
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: going on the road to play the Jets, who are

689
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: no matter what, they have weaknesses, but they've been frisky

690
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: in every single one of these games. If they dropped

691
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: this the Falcons, they go three to three and four,

692
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: then you have to go play the Panthers, the Cowboys,

693
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the Bucks, and the Vikings before the Saints.

694
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Their schedule does not let up and you cannot get

695
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: behind at this point. I'm not sure I like them.

696
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: In this game, I almost locked the Jets, which is

697
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: potentially it's good news for Atlanta. I honestly trust the

698
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: Jets to hang with this team until the end of

699
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: the game, and then one of these games the Jets

700
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: are gonna win in the final five minute. I think

701
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: the Falcons are the gotta turn it around. I think

702
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: they will. They're still leading the league in yards per drive.

703
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: Isn't that crazy. I mean, they are moving. What about

704
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of games they've They moved the ball

705
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: pretty well against the Patriots. I mean they had more

706
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: yards for play against the Patriots and the Patriots did.

707
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: It's crazy how poor they are in the red zone

708
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 1: and being able to finish out their drives. But part

709
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: of it is because they're not getting any drives because

710
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: their defense can't get off the field. And that's the

711
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: most disappointing thing to me. I expected this defense to

712
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: kind of help push up this team. We expected the

713
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: offense to come back to the back. I expected the

714
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: defense to mitigate that, and instead they're worse. I mean

715
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: This is on dan Quinn. These are his players, his

716
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: style of play. The Patriots kind of just ran them over.

717
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: They were like, hey, stop us, we're gonna we're gonna

718
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: test your manhood. Stop you know, stop us against Then

719
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: where's don Terry Poe, Where's McKinley, Where where are these guys?

720
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: There's all that, And then also on offense, like the

721
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: big plays from last season have dried up. I mean

722
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: statistically they have completely dried up. And I don't know

723
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: if that's Kyle Shanahan thing or if it's Matt Ryan

724
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: kind of regressing back to Matt Ryan world versus last

725
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: year's m v P incarnation to Matt Ryan. It's the

726
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: people around him, but it's not clicking. It is weird though,

727
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: because like, is Matt Ryan really that much different or

728
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't look where is it? Just that everything last

729
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: year was was so perfectly made for him. He had

730
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: open wide receivers, the scheme was great, no one was prepared,

731
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: the schedule, a little bit of luck, Like how could

732
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: he be that different? Dan Hansas ut career because he

733
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: was in a comfort zone with his coach and his

734
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Still think Sarkisi might be coaching for his job.

735
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: These next couple of weeks. They got to get something going.

736
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: All yards for driving, all that's good. They got to

737
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: score points, and they're just you know, I thought that

738
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: was a very disconcerting effort against the Falcons. Mark, you

739
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: do have the Falcons winning this game. I have the

740
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: Falcons winning. Now, you know what, I had the Jets

741
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: winning this game. I mean it's not on paper anywhere,

742
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: but I'm it's it's it's audibly just been spoken. Well,

743
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: they need a yeah, yeah, come back to get it. Then, Okay,

744
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: moving on these efforts go forty Niners are winless oh

745
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: and seven. Um, that cute narrative. It wasn't even narrative,

746
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: it was reality. They were losing every game by two

747
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: or three points. That ended UH in a big way

748
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: with a thirty point home loss to the Cowboys. And

749
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: guess what your reward for that is? You go back

750
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: on the road and you take on the NFC East

751
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: leading Philadelphia Eagles, who could not be playing Mark with

752
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: more confidence after what they did UH to Washington on

753
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: Monday night. Well, and from the flip side, your reward

754
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: if you're the Eagles for winning perhaps perhaps the most

755
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: memorable game of the year, A game in which your

756
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: quarterback suddenly is national. He's a national talking point. He's

757
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: been crowned. Essentially, is like the greatest young quarterback we

758
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: have right now and m v P candidate, your reward

759
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: is to stay home for six days and deal with

760
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: the Niners. My what I want to see and I'm

761
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: not sure we're gonna see it against this Niners defense

762
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: is the Jason Peters factor that you don't have him anymore.

763
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: That to me is no different than if the Browns

764
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: very good and they lost Joe Thomas. How quickly it

765
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: changes your offense. When you lose one of these premier

766
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: left tackles, there's only two or three or four of

767
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: them in the league, everything can change. I don't know

768
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: if it's gonna matter this week, but it's a huge

769
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: loss for the Eagles. It's not gonna matter this week.

770
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: This forty Niners defense is pretty dreadful. This team is dreadful.

771
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I think it would know. They've

772
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: been on the street. Now they've been playing competitively, and

773
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: that's great, and that's coaching, and but I don't think

774
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: there's any one aspect of this team that's above average.

775
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: I think they should have a running game like some

776
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes they do, but that's about it. Like Kyle

777
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: Shanahan is, we're seeing the limit. I think he's a

778
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: great offensive coach, but we're seeing the limitations of how

779
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: much a coach can do. I think that's fair. And

780
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: I think that one guy we didn't get a chance

781
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: to talk about him Tuesday, that we should for the

782
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: Eagles of zach Ertz and the chemistry, uh that Carson

783
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: Wentz and zach Ertz have is one of those things

784
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: where if these guys stay together and stay on the

785
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: field together, arts can end up being one of those

786
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: guys that's like way up, like Jason Witten, those guys

787
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: that hang around together and end up just getting stats

788
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: year after year after year because they have such a

789
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: great connection clearly, and he's a legitimate playmaker that was

790
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: worth his draft standing, and that's that gives them another

791
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: big time starts he's broken out this year. Well, I know,

792
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: I know people in Philadelphia disdain Chip Kelly and and

793
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: potentially with good reason, but Chip Kelly drafted zach Ertz

794
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: and he loved him coming out of college, and it

795
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: took a while for zach Ertz to become what he

796
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: is now. But he is a He is the centerpiece

797
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: of that. He's the mid If you're doing a mid

798
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: season All Pro team, and I believe our friend Chris

799
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: Wesleyan is doing one for every dot com, I gotta

800
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: imagine Chris is debating it's either Gronk or Arts as

801
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: your first team tight end. Even that, the fact that

802
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: that's the fact that Gronk is mostly stayed on the

803
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: field and is continue to be a major threat UM

804
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: on the Patriots offense and you're talking Earth's in that

805
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: category tells you a lot. I gotta talk to Wesley

806
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: about Seth to Val being a close for all I know,

807
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, Chris, who has his you know, has strong opinions,

808
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: might totally disagree with what I'm saying. I don't know.

809
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: Maybe he's into Logan Thomas. We'll touch base with West

810
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: down the road on this topic. Moving on the Carolina Panthers,

811
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: Um who Let's be honest this room, we were flying

812
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: high on the Panthers a couple of weeks ago when

813
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: there were four and one and we were talking about

814
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: him about a potential top seed in the NFC. Uh. Well,

815
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: then they got beat by the Eagles, and then they

816
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: got creamed somehow by the Bears. Well not cream but

817
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: they just played terribly um And now they travel to

818
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: Tampa to face another team in the Bucks that is scuffling.

819
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: Greg these are two teams that have been um especially

820
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: the Bucks kind of disappointing on balance, and the Panthers

821
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: of late have been very disappointing. This is just the

822
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: matchup that the Carolina Panthers needed to jump start their offense,

823
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: because I don't think there's a defense in the NFL

824
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: that is more lost than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now,

825
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: giving up four plus yards to the Bills, giving up

826
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,959
Speaker 1: thirty eight points and just receivers running wide open against Arizona.

827
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: I still think the Panthers have the guts of a

828
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: team that should be much better. Their negative eight right

829
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: now on turnovers. That's a big reason why they're four

830
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: and three. They like against the Bears, they're moving, they

831
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: were moving the ball, their defense is playing well. I'm

832
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: not that worried about the Panthers. I'm a little more

833
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: worried about you know, Cam Newton's relationship with the media

834
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: and you know whatnot. But it's constant distraction I'm not

835
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: actually worried about that. I don't know why I said that.

836
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: I quite enjoyed um Chris Wessling's tweet mocking Cam after

837
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: he walked off that press conference, and that wasn't a

838
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: big deal. But again it's like, dude, get it together,

839
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: and then the team covering for him, saying it was

840
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: some type of miscommunication. Cam had thought that he had

841
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: fulfilled his media obligation. Yeah, by walking off in mid

842
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: sense shows some accountability, like don't don't cover for the

843
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: guy because it just makes everybody look bad. It's it's

844
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: just it's it seems like it's every week with him.

845
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: And and yet, you know, a couple of weeks ago,

846
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: the controversy seemed to sort of fuel Cam Newton. This

847
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: time around, I mean, we're coming off the game a

848
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: disgraceful offensive performance where they're shut out in the second

849
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: half against Chicago. Nothing happening at all with this team,

850
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: and I was, I, I, this is Cam Newton has

851
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: more turnovers right now. Well, it's more than every quarterback

852
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: in the league, than the Shaun Kaiser. I know he's

853
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: making some plays, but it's like, you know, this team

854
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: to me, is there's something out of whack here. But

855
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: I think it all stems from the running game. That

856
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: it's way too many third intents. Remember the whole like

857
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is not going to run the ball that much.

858
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: Forget that whole idea. He's their leading rusher. Last week

859
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: when they need a first down when they were on

860
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: the goal line, it's like, let's go to let's go

861
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 1: to camp. Every three single series, it seems like there's

862
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: a third and twelve and mixed in there because Jonathan

863
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: Stewart and McCaffrey loses four yards on first and ten

864
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: and it's just like, that's not how this team is

865
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: set up. And they lost trade Turner. They did not worries.

866
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: I know Christian McCaffrey has shown flashes um, especially as

867
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 1: a receiver or solely as receiver, and that's the problem here.

868
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: They did not draft him in the first round pick

869
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: to just be a guy. It's a safety valve and

870
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: a guy that they could put in the slot and

871
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: make some plays in the receiving game. They I think

872
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: they were expecting more from him as a runner and

873
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: that's played into the problem and they take time. But

874
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: it's like I feel like it's a it's a passing

875
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: game that is so reliant in sections of games on

876
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: just dumping off screen passes to McCaffrey, and it's like

877
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: what team goes out and says, that's our goal that

878
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: you know, this is a big game. I mean, these

879
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: are two teams that had very high expectations coming into

880
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: the season. The Bucks cannot go to two and five

881
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: with with another home loss in the division. It's an

882
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: intriguing game. If nothing else, Tampa should feel good. It

883
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: got a little you know, I missed last week that

884
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: that offense. It we kind of we're expecting to see

885
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: for a month. It was there in Buffalo. I mean

886
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: they went up and down in the field on a

887
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: Bill's defense. We've given a lot of credit too. It's

888
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: a big You gotta win this game. Bucks, Go win

889
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: a game. Go win a game. Uh what do we

890
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: like in this game? I'm gonna throw it around, Uh

891
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: Mark you start, I'm thinking right because it's a toss up. Yeah,

892
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: it's a I'm gonna go Panthers. I'm gonna go Carolina

893
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: on the road. Really put a hurting into old Dirk Cutter. Yeah,

894
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like what's going on in Tampa. Uh,

895
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: with the coaching and everything and that that seems to

896
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: me maybe turning sour that season. I'm gonna go with

897
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: the Panthers as well. Mike Smith defense never in ten

898
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: years finished higher than twelve. I just Mike Smith's Okay,

899
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never seen defense is a bigger personality

900
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: transformation than Mike Smith on Hard Knocks is the coach

901
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: of the Falcons to Mike Smith as a defensive coordinator

902
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: of the Bucks, where basically he was just like it

903
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: was like, guys are ready to blow at all times.

904
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: I can't be going well considering the state of the season.

905
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe that was like a game day

906
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: thing that when once the game started, most like a

907
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: totally different human. Yeah. Maybe, all right, let's move on

908
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. That was a little Oprah Who was

909
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: the Texans? Very opra esque? They do you get a

910
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:23,479
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback and you okay, okay, see I was going

911
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: to do something like that, but then I said, well

912
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: that would be bad. I'm not good. Did it? And

913
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: that's cool though, because I like that you embraced your

914
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: silly side. Greg, Well, I'm glad you do that. You

915
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: followed that up by totally burying it. I'm that was

916
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: bad anyway. The Texans, they're coming out of there by,

917
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: they gotta be feeling fresh. But guess what, they got

918
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: a tough assignment because they're going to Seattle to face

919
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and um Deshaun Watson, um Mark Sessler has

920
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: been so good uh this season and he's the only

921
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: reason why there's hope in Houston despite after the losses

922
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: of J. J. Watt and Um Whitney merciless. But this

923
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: seems like a tough assignment for the kid. Yeah. I

924
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: mean they've They've got thirty plus points in four straight games,

925
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: which is a franchise record, not surprising for people that

926
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: have watched the Texans over the years, and it's all

927
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: because of him and what he's meant for them. And

928
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: I look at a Seahawks team. Yes, they are the

929
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: number one scoring defense, and that's not an unusual narrative,

930
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: but three of their four wins have come against the Cults, Niners,

931
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: and Giants. So if you can't handle your business at home,

932
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: we talk about the Titans this way. Every team in

933
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: the a f C South basically is constantly in this

934
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: weekly thing. You've got to prove to us that you're

935
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: every week it feels this way. I say this about Seattle.

936
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are and every team in the league is five.

937
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: That's true, but the Seahawks are three years ago. No

938
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: matter what was coming in, they would have taken them down.

939
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: You want to be team that's taken seriously. I think

940
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: this is your doing your damn Dave damash X impression

941
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: of you right now. Prove it, hey, prove it to us.

942
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: This is a Dan thing. I like prove the guy

943
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: must win, guy must win. I like it. I got

944
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: like must wins, but I really like prove it. I

945
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: liked what I saw a gentleman with an i Q

946
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: of twelve. Maybe I liked what I saw out of

947
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I know it was the Giants, and so yes,

948
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: you expect them, yes, yes, yes, and they didn't. Yes.

949
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: But sometimes Mark, even when you're playing a bad opponent,

950
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: prove it. If I even good luck trying to get

951
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: your point out today. Sometimes you know and you're trying

952
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: to prove it. I don't know, Dan. Dan did not

953
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: get his soda today, his diet pepsi or whatever it

954
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: is he drinks, and he's You're upset. That's sweet that

955
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: you know what I drank? That is adorable. Actually go

956
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: ahead a lot of times to the huddle. It's he will,

957
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,959
Speaker 1: he will ask the woman to go get him ice.

958
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,439
Speaker 1: I believe that that was a strange thing. For three

959
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: straight years, Hey, can you go in the back and

960
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: get me ice? They used to not have the ice

961
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: and then should once they put the ice outside. Speaking

962
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: of sandbagging, um, Seahawks fans got they want to hear

963
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: about their every single time, every single time, every day.

964
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 1: Should have made ice successible. While I, while I quietly

965
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: assassinate you, I also lift you up. You don't You

966
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: don't think that I get my own ice? I I

967
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: certainly do. At this point, this Seattle Seahawks team came

968
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: out of the by looking a little different. First of all,

969
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: when was the last time you could remember the Seattle

970
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: Seahawks being healthy? Like, oh wow, there's a healthy team

971
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Richardson's their lock, it's their rawls and Lacey.

972
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: They're not playing that great in process, but they're all there.

973
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: It's a healthy looking team. We always pick on them

974
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: for not you know, just relying on Russell Wilson to

975
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: make some magic well. They moved the ball up and

976
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: down the field on the Giants with plays from the pocket,

977
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, on time, some nice touch throws. It was

978
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: the best their offenses looked all season. I thought Russell

979
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: Wilson has played well. It was the type of performance

980
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: from their defense that you expected to see. I felt

981
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: like this team reset a little bit in the bye week,

982
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: and now they get a match. If you think this

983
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: is a tough match against de Shaun Watson, I don't know.

984
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson gives up a couple throws every game that

985
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: there's a chance for the other defense to make a

986
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: play on, and other defenses have not been making plays.

987
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: I think he's gotten a little bit lucky, and that

988
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: luck ends when you go up to Seattle. And so

989
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm locking it up Hello, A little concerned, Greg, because

990
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about how healthy they are. Last I heard

991
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: Luke Jokels not playing at left guard, and you know,

992
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: just Justin britt Justin Brittett center is not about and

993
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: so you can laugh at it, but this is already

994
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: the worst offensive line in the league, and you're losing starters,

995
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: and if you're a backup offensive lineman on the Seahawks, yikes.

996
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: But he's been out and their offensive line has been terrible.

997
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: That's just like, that's what they are, terrible. They dealt

998
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: with that for a year. But the defense, I feel

999
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: like it's coming into its own and that that that's

1000
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: really why I wanted to lock this up is I

1001
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: don't think this redskin, this Texans team is getting out

1002
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 1: of the teens in scoring. I just don't think they're

1003
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna to your point, And I wrote about this in

1004
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 1: the High Flying Adventures and the research notes for this week,

1005
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: check it out on the end around. Uh, Steve Polazzo,

1006
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus did a piece where he broke down, um,

1007
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: why why he Deshaun Watson in the midst of this

1008
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: great season is like a middling too below quarterback in

1009
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: their ratings, And a lot of that was pegged on

1010
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: his first start, which was very bad, like off the

1011
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: charts bad by their grading system. But the first week,

1012
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: even just when he came in a halftime. But a

1013
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: closer study of the of the tape, Polazzo and I

1014
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: guess the entire PFF team saw that he's missed a

1015
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of open receivers. He's had a lot of quote

1016
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: turnover worthy plays that he hasn't gotten That's what I see,

1017
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: and Texans receivers have only dropped two passes all season.

1018
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: When Watson's fine, but he's not great. His numbers speak

1019
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: to a guy who's playing at an m v P

1020
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: level and he's been great, but he had I think

1021
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: he's there's due for a correction. You would have grabbed

1022
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: the league when at the league would take him right now.

1023
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 1: I came absolutely, But no one's arguing that. I'm saying,

1024
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 1: if if he's if he's just this average guy that's

1025
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: throwing up interceptions that aren't getting taken down by the

1026
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: not at all. But it's like this guy, I would

1027
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: not do that. This guy's like six years, six games

1028
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: into his career. I do think I'm going to do

1029
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: with I think it's say I think it's fair to

1030
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: say that that Ark Sessler takes on PF when we

1031
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: when we actually had PFF on our show, I could

1032
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: not have been a kinder breaking you in a rank

1033
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: how rough people were on PFF. I was easily the

1034
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: kindest to them. Give me a break on the breaking

1035
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: news Lindsay of the media war, Sessler v p FF

1036
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: his columns, wreath go hide under your table. I don't

1037
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: even check Twitter at this point until Sunday, so if

1038
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: you want to get into with me at that point,

1039
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: we can get into it. Moving on, the Cowboys. Oh,

1040
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown is holdout finally ended class. I forgot class

1041
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: as that's a big that's that's huge. They have one

1042
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: of offensive lines in the league. Well, if he's gonna play,

1043
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: is he gonna play? Well, he's been in mothballs for months, teammate,

1044
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: I should all see better than what they have. I

1045
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: like where you're coming from on this had a good

1046
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: look for Dwayne Brown. Let's be on huge for Houston.

1047
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: But this guy's let his team down the entire season

1048
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 1: and the only reported. Let's be honest, it's a business decision.

1049
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: But because his contract would have told uh if he

1050
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: if he didn't report this week, and we should have

1051
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: said it. So we're gonna say unless one of you

1052
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: guys did say it, in which case I apologize for

1053
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: not paying attention. Again. Luke Keikley could be playing for

1054
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: the Panthers on Sunday. That's fresh information. That would be

1055
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: a big deal. So track that he's coming back from

1056
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: another concussion. Moving on, the cow Boys are traveling to

1057
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: Washington to face the Redskins, and uh, this is a game,

1058
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: greg Um between the Cowboys team that looked really good

1059
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: a lot more like the Cowboys team from last year

1060
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: last week, and the Redskins not so hot against the

1061
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: Eagles on Monday night. The Redskins defense, I feel like

1062
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: has been an overachieving group and maybe that's starting to

1063
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: fall apart a little bit because of injuries. Maybe they

1064
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,879
Speaker 1: get Josh Norman back. But they got creative last week

1065
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: at points early in that game, having Preston Smith, ju

1066
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: and your Gallet and Ryan Carrey get all together at

1067
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: the same time, and Jim tom Seula is doing a

1068
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: great job ammensive line. But ultimately I don't think they're

1069
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: that talented. They're just there and they're now going up

1070
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: against one of the best offenses in the league in

1071
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, who are rolling. I think that that

1072
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: week off, I don't know, it might have helped Zeke.

1073
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean people were saying, like, hey, Zeke, hey here

1074
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: he is. He's been fine the whole time. No, he's

1075
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: running better now than than he was at the beginning

1076
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: of this season. He admitted that he came into his

1077
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,919
Speaker 1: rookie season essentially out of shape and worked himself into shape.

1078
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: I think the same thing kind of happened this year. Yeah,

1079
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: I think it was San Francisco and we've already you know,

1080
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: taken their defense to town. But last week's performance by

1081
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott was clearly the best game of this season

1082
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: and maybe a top two or three performance I've ever

1083
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: seen from him. The seventy two yard touchdown reception where

1084
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: he basically caught it and galloped down the sideline. Only

1085
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 1: a few players can do what he did. And Dak Prescott,

1086
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: by the way, I think he looks as good as

1087
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: he's looked all season. The offenses is extremely dangerous right now.

1088
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 1: Speaking of qbn X number six on the old QB

1089
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: six da Prescott playing, Is that the highest he's been

1090
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: this season? Yeah? Who's thirty one? You don't want to know.

1091
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: It depends on the week, you know. Not de Benz,

1092
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: who's started like Drew Stanton, has to be in the

1093
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: mix starting next week. So it gets confusing. What do

1094
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: you do with the Browns? Is just the browns helmet?

1095
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: Geiser the first two quarters of Kaiser, Greg, You've beat

1096
00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: the drum on this, but I'll just mention it because

1097
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: there was a nice nug in the research and notes

1098
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: how important Sean Lee is the Cowboys and uh, and

1099
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: the two losses that he missed the average thirty five

1100
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 1: points per game in a hundred sixty four yards rushing

1101
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: yards allowed a game. Uh, those numbers have themselves when

1102
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: Lee's involved. So he's such a huge part of it.

1103
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: And I guess that's part of the the overall fear

1104
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: that you should have if you're a Cowboys sand because

1105
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: your most important defensive players also also possibly your most

1106
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: injury prone player, and your most important offensive player continues

1107
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: to have a six game suspension dangling over his head

1108
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: like an and next week's the week and this could

1109
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: be his last game for for a long time. We

1110
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: think next week's the week, and yeah, if we'll see.

1111
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: And I will say, because i love the way the

1112
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys look, and because I'm not so hot on the

1113
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: red Skins, and because I believe that the Cowboys understand

1114
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: that they need to make Hay when they're all together

1115
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: like this, you know what I'm doing. This one for you, Poppy,

1116
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: NFC East style lock it up. That's for you, Poppy.

1117
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 1: I think that makes a lot of sense. I think

1118
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is just about the only Redskins offensive player

1119
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 1: playing well right now. Um. And while we're here, Greg,

1120
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: I just want to go over the lock standings for

1121
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: the season. Um, you do have some ground to make up,

1122
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: um so far this season. And I'll just stick with

1123
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,879
Speaker 1: the three of us because West has only been able

1124
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: to do two games this year. Um. The old zeus, sir,

1125
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: first place, five and two, having a nice season. You're

1126
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: getting on me a little bit that I was mediocre.

1127
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: Five and two is nice, A little disrespectful by Greg.

1128
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: I guess I wasn't really keeping track mark three and four,

1129
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: three and four, second place, Greg, three and five after

1130
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: three and four is terrible. Five and two is like

1131
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: the expectation. Two and five is even worse. Five and

1132
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: two is what we probably all averaged on last year.

1133
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: That's if it's a lock of the week, you better

1134
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: be away above five. This is a lock. This is

1135
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 1: like that if you're below five. It's a tone of embarrassing, yes,

1136
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: but it's it's we don't gauge the daring level of

1137
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: the Listen. This is the gentleman's locked contest. It's a

1138
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: game where we respect each other and we make picks

1139
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: We're not just going to pick against the Niners every Well,

1140
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: I've locked the Jets and Browns this year. Greg is

1141
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 1: two and five for the season and then all time

1142
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: standings UM West is ten and nine. Uh, Greg third

1143
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: place thirteen and eleven. So you weren't locking it up

1144
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: last year too well either. Let's be honest, what are

1145
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: you talking about? Do the math? So, yeah, do it

1146
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,479
Speaker 1: do It's all right. It's I was then eleven and six,

1147
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: which is pretty much the exact same percentages five and two.

1148
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Pretty solid. Thirteen and ten all

1149
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: time Mark Sessler, which is second place, half game ahead

1150
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: of Greg, and uh, I'll take it. The old Zeuser

1151
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: once again. Well, no nothing, Zeus or seventeen and nine,

1152
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 1: the old idiot upstairs while the scientists are down in

1153
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: the base. That's that's what you took. That was your

1154
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: whole bit. Now you're turning your own bits against us.

1155
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm weaponizing them. You've got people to trying to get

1156
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: down into the lab and disrupt enemies dands up there,

1157
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: punching them out and drinking the security guard smoking cigarettes

1158
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: at the door. Yeah, I'm the bouncer upstairs. Okay, Anyway,

1159
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: let's wrap this thing up. Let's go to the Steelers

1160
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: heading to Detroit to face the lines. Uh, Steelers starting

1161
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: to get saucy looking. I like the way they closed

1162
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: out that game against Cincinnati. They looked like the best

1163
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: team they have seen north and it wasn't close. And now, uh,

1164
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 1: you got the Lions, who you know, they didn't show

1165
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: up in their game before the bye. They get a

1166
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: chance to get healthy here during the by mark. But

1167
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: let us not forget the fifty burger. Fifty burger dropped

1168
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: in them, uh the week before. Yeah, I think it's

1169
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: easy when these teams going by to kind of forget

1170
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: what happened the week before. And that was a game

1171
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: where Matthew Stafford strip sack for a touchdown, strip sack

1172
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: a second time, twelve passes, batted down, running for his

1173
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: life all over the place. And now you're going up

1174
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: against the Steelers defense. And every week Ryan Shazier is

1175
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: showing up. How about against the Bengals, Mike Hilton laying

1176
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: a hit on players, t J. Watt, Bud Duprie. They've

1177
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: got guys all over the place and everyone every week

1178
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: it's Martavis Bryant itching about his role in Antonio Brown

1179
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: give me it's always the Steelers offense. It's the Steelers

1180
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: defense that makes them a different team than in years

1181
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: past and a truth threat in the a f C. Right,

1182
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: they haven't needed. Ben Roth is bigger to play that well.

1183
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: I think he's coming off his best game of the season,

1184
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: but before that he's just been kind of workman like.

1185
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: Whereas the Lions, you expected that this was gonna be

1186
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: an offense first team. I just feel like that's where

1187
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: their money is. That's what you expect. And then when

1188
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, I mean, they are one

1189
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: of the worst offenses in the league. They feel broken

1190
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: consistently gaining yards. I don't think they're that far away.

1191
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: Like the running game is a little better than it

1192
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: was a year ago. Stafford has some players to throw to.

1193
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: I think they have a chance to get better. Uh.

1194
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: We've been talking about Levan Bell's workload. Um I looked

1195
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: it up earlier today and he is on pace for

1196
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty one touches that would place him

1197
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: second all time if this usage rate continued. The only

1198
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: the only guy that's ahead of him would be poor

1199
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: James Wilder, which I wish West was here on the

1200
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: bus a nice breakdown of his career. In the eight

1201
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: four bucks, he had four touches. That feels like it

1202
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: should have been a criminal charge against the man um

1203
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: And remember the last time we heard this, this idea

1204
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, the football gatness sent d wondering

1205
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: if a running back was being maxed out in a

1206
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: nefarious way. DeMarco Murray back. He ended up with four

1207
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: nine touches for that Cowboys team. So they're using him

1208
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: even more than DeMarco Murray and it makes you wonder

1209
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: what their long term plans are. Well, and then through

1210
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: the air, I didn't he draft James Conner if you

1211
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: can't give him five six carries? Again, couldn't have Green more.

1212
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's also looked he's looked better than ever,

1213
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: So there's that, But but it's also October. You need

1214
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: to be fresh. They didn't have him. He went out

1215
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: in the what the first quarter of the a f

1216
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: C Championship game last year? First half, they didn't have

1217
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: him the playoffs a couple of times before that. You've

1218
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: got to maximize, like your roster. Heading towards January, as

1219
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: a football fan, Patriots hated too, but as a football fan,

1220
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to see Levy on Bell going out

1221
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: of the first half of the a f C title

1222
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: game with a hamstring injury or or a balky knee

1223
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: that it acts up on him during a first quarter

1224
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: run and and then he'll bid just bad luck again

1225
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: in January. But no, it's like this idea. You did

1226
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: get James Conner in the draft. You love him, you

1227
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: love his ability, work them together because it might help

1228
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: you in the long run. Even if he's winning you

1229
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: games right now. You gotta look big picture. I mean,

1230
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: what about Antonio Brown the way that he's being used

1231
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: in the passing game. It's like they had these two

1232
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: star players and it's very imbalanced. It's it's it seems

1233
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: like it's such a top heavy offense. Mark Davis Bryant

1234
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: a fit. Sully will be inactive for this game. Not

1235
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,439
Speaker 1: a not a huge loss for them, and we'll see

1236
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: if it's this final uh week in a Steelers uniform.

1237
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: But Mike Tomlin said publicly, I think they would be

1238
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: willing to listen to if anyone came calling from mar

1239
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Tavis Bryant. I love that Cowboys fit. Just feels like

1240
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: a Cowboys move. Yeah, I could see it moving on finally,

1241
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: the So that was the Sunday night game, the Monday

1242
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: night football game, the Denver Broncos um who got shut

1243
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 1: out and just looked, you know, pitiful. Now for two

1244
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: weeks in a row, shut up by the Chargers last

1245
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: week on the road. Now they have to head to

1246
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City and Greg the Chiefs they have major problems.

1247
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't think they could really stop a good team,

1248
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: um or desperate team like we saw with Oakland last

1249
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: week on defense when it really comes down to it.

1250
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: I think that could maybe haunt them if they don't

1251
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,439
Speaker 1: figure something out. But right now, the here and now,

1252
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: they're angry after last week, they're five and two. I

1253
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: think this is a terrible recipe for Denver to get

1254
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: back on track. Do you agree? Disagree? Winning in Kansas

1255
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: City a team that's just played much better than them. Yeah,

1256
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: it's a terrible matchup in a week where you're already struggling.

1257
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: The strength of both teams match up against each other though,

1258
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the Chiefs in football outsiders have the number

1259
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: one offense in football right now, and that makes sense

1260
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: to me. But they're going up against a very good

1261
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: Broncos defense. Who has really been at the level we expected.

1262
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: They they have nothing to do with these last two losses.

1263
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they gave up fourteen points to the Chargers

1264
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: on like fifteen drives. They gave up thirteen points to

1265
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: the Giants. I'm talking about just to the offenses and

1266
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense. Though it's twenty five and sinking in

1267
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: the league and sinking in football. It's not a good defense.

1268
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: So if you can't put up some points against Kansas City,

1269
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: you're not gonna do it against anything. They've had injuries,

1270
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: and this is the only top five defense that the

1271
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs will face outside of Pittsburgh. And Pittsburgh we saw

1272
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: what happened there. Pittsburgh, by the way, top five in

1273
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: offense and defense, and football outsiders ease a the number

1274
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: one team in the NFL right now, how about that, Saucy.

1275
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: This is a big, big week, though, and that's that's

1276
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: off topic. A big, an important game for the Broncos

1277
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: who are trying to get their season back on track.

1278
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: Speaking of on track, you need the team, trev Express

1279
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: to get back to chug along upon those tracks. We

1280
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: don't want another derailment three weeks a row. Keep TV

1281
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: that feels like a tragedy. I mean, it feels like

1282
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: it feels like he's just being asked to make plays

1283
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: throwing on the run that he's just not gonna make.

1284
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: That They don't even had a running game at all

1285
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. When they try to, you know,

1286
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: get those cheap screen yards that Alex Smith gets or

1287
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks get, it's like that doesn't happen

1288
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. It's been it's been tough to watch

1289
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: last few weeks, and he's been a huge part of it.

1290
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: He's he's owned up to that. I mean, only Kaiser

1291
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: and Flacco have a worse QB rating than Simeon since

1292
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Week three. And after this game, you have to go

1293
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: in at Philadelphia then played the Patriots. If you're the Broncos,

1294
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: season on the bring, they've had a million. It's it's

1295
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: not like they've been playing the eight five Bears the

1296
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Either. They played the Chargers and

1297
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: the Giants, who have been that Giant lost. He combined

1298
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: ten points against the Giants and Chargers. Alright, it's wild.

1299
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: He and Simeon's tough. He took two of the biggest

1300
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: hits I've ever seen a quarterback take in my life.

1301
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: In that game against the Chargers, got right back up

1302
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: and I don't know, there's only so many hits. I

1303
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: feel like he could take tape a Super Bowl. Jeff

1304
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: Hostetler back in his own end zone. Bruce Smith blows

1305
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: around the blindside wall ups and he holds out to

1306
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: the ball. Giants win twenty nineteen, a game where he

1307
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: thought that he had essentially broken a bone early on

1308
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: and came back to win. It's a big game for

1309
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, by the way, big game. I'm just saying

1310
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: you didn't like Hosts liked it. I liked it. I'm

1311
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 1: just saying, remember Jeff Hostellers Raiders Run. He was Raiders. Yeah,

1312
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: nice career for Jeff hoste One are the one of

1313
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:08,720

1327
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,840

Speaker 1: figured out, and hopefully at the end of the day

1329
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,800
