1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where the South has something to say.

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Rosenthal here in a Chris Wesseling podcast studio

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: with my friends Jordan Rodrieg and Patrick Clayband on a

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: day when the NFC South the AFC South said, don't

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: forget about us. When you're looking for some of the

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: most compelling football in the NFL and.

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: You find it, do you find it right there where

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: folks have kind of written it off. I myself had,

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: you know, made a couple of picks against the NFC

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: South on the course of the day, and I got

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: them wrong, and I'm excited that I got them wrong.

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we got some upsets.

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: You know, we had a lot of doubt. I mean

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: that the Carolina Panthers were a real team. And we'll

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: start there because this was a table setting type of day.

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: I know we already had Thanksgiving this week, but this

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a day I think that like changed everything. The

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: biggest games happened this week, but what happened a specially

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: in Carolina, I think sets up how the rest of

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: the races in the NFC at the top and then

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: certainly in the NFC South go the rest of the way.

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 4: Nobody in the NFL has more fourth down conversions than

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: the Panthers.

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 5: It's fourth to two from the LA forty three.

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 4: Rams crowded the line of scrimmage with a one high

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 4: safety look rice off play action as time of the pocket.

27
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 2: Throws down field for McMillan makes the touch of the twenty.

28
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 6: He's got the.

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 7: Ton the five touchdown came back touchdown Carolina and the

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 7: Panthers take the lead.

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 5: What's six point thirty four to go?

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Oh niece shot on wr FX. If it's fourth down,

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: it's Bryce Young time two fourth down touchdowns on this day,

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: also had one to Jalen Cocher and the Carolina Panthers

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: pull off one of the biggest upsets of the year,

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty eight over the Los Angeles Rams.

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 6: Panther to seven and six.

38
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: The Rams fallout of that number one seed now at

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: nine and three. Patrick, we have called Bryce Young on

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: this show selectively elite. I want to find whoever wrote

41
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: that on Twitter because I want to thank her. Word

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: smith Uh today he's selected to be elite.

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was.

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: He was great, especially in a third and fourth down

45
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: where he was eight of ten through the air, including

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: that fourth down. Two of his touchdown passes came today

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: on fourth down, and the one that was ultimately the

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: game winner to tear Roland McMillan. But the game starts

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: and it feels like a regular old Rams game to

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: the extent where the Rams are running the play that

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: they've scored almost all of their touchdowns on, where Davante

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: Adams is lined out out wide to Matthew Stafford's right,

53
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: and they're thirteen personnel. There's three tight ends over on

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: that side of the ball and Mike Jackson. They're playing

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: with no j. C. Horn today, which, of course you're

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: playing against Pook and Akua and DeVante Adams.

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 5: That's already a situation.

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: They give Davante the inside release, Stafford's like, okay, he

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: throws a little pass that's kind of low and away

60
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: and DeVante is able to catch it. That was the

61
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: twenty eighth Matthew Stafford touchdown pass without an interception.

62
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: Yay, celebrate, ball goes.

63
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: To Canton, Tom Brady coming out of Canton and then

64
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: hilarity will ensue for Matthew Stafford after that. But you

65
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: think it's standard Rams, but no Bryce comes out. They

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: have a nice drive Chuba Hubbard out snapped Rico Dowdle

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: twenty to forty eight. I mean, excuse me, forty to

68
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: twenty eight in this game. A lot of Chewba Hubbard

69
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: even in the carries, but more work in the pass game.

70
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: And he got a thirty yard swing pass touchdown from

71
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: Bryce to tie it at seven. And so the Rams

72
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: come screaming right back down the field. They get everything

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: they want because Parkinson gets an inside release, but Derek

74
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: Brown hits the football with his helmet and Nick Scott

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: picks it off.

76
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: Former Ram Nick Scott picks it off.

77
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Oh, Nick Scott in the revenge game, I will note

78
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: which I forgot, but Jordan, thank you for that.

79
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 5: And so.

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: Then the Rams get the ball back. Matthew Stafford is

81
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: looking towards pookin a couah. You know I'm doing this

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: on Game Day Live. Steve Smith Senior having to weigh

83
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: his allegiances. Because Steve Smith loves being a wide receiver,

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: he also loves the Carolina Panthers. Mike Jackson got very

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: physical with Pook and Akua at the top of the route,

86
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: able to pick the ball off and take it all

87
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: the way back for six second down.

88
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 5: To ten from the shotgun.

89
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 4: Play clock at four at three chest Ti snap four

90
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: man rush, quick.

91
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 5: Thrown, dear Son picked again, Mike jack down.

92
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 7: The right sideline, Scorton throws a pluck on Stafford.

93
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: Jackson takes it.

94
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 5: In for a pick six.

95
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: Oh, this is the moment, Jordan, I think where not

96
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: only we realize that your premonition of doom for Stafford

97
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: and the Rams could really be in trouble in this game,

98
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, the invincibility that they had in the first

99
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: quarters of games after that first touchdown, they had outscored

100
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: opponent seventy to three in the first quarters of these games,

101
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: and then for the Panthers offense and defense to respond

102
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: so quickly, you did have a feeling that they were

103
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: going to be in for a back and forth game,

104
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: and that's what they got.

105
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: Yes, and you guys will recall on the previous show

106
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: we talked about how, yes, Matthew Stafford is gunning for

107
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: this record here. Once he broke the record, all help

108
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: and dark chaos returned to the universe. As the universe

109
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 3: said about balancing itself back out, because it wasn't just

110
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: the two interceptions, it was also at the worst possible time.

111
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: Los Angeles gets their first penalty of the game on

112
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: third and five inside the red zone, down three points

113
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: to the Carolina Panthers, and then that sets up a

114
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: third and ten, which then sets up a sack on

115
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford. Derek Brown had an incredible game and then

116
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: forced to fumble. He kind of just dribbled out of

117
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 3: his hands. He could see it happening, almost in slow motion.

118
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: As it's happening, you could see it all over his face.

119
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: And this is that comes at the exact worst time

120
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford game that the Seers foretold this always happens.

121
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: The dark chaos at some point during the season happens

122
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: in credit to the Carolina Panthers, because they are a

123
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: team that as much as they're trying to figure out

124
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: what their actual identity long term now is and will be,

125
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 3: and they're pushing for the playoffs at this point, but

126
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: this team is perfectly built to capitalize off of somebody

127
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: else's self inflicted mistake for somebody else's chaos. And that's

128
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: why I've called them the spoiler team all year, because

129
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: they've happily played that to teams that are dramatically favored.

130
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 6: To win they're so weird.

131
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: And your colleague Robert Mays wrote a very succinct summary

132
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: of the Panthers that I couldn't top. So he points

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: out the Rams have lost. I mean the Panthers have

134
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: lost to the Saints, They've lost two games by twenty

135
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: five points or more. They've scored thirteen or fewer points

136
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: six times this year. But they've also had a thirty

137
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: to nothing blowout win win wins over the Rams and

138
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: the Packers. I mean, this is just a team. You

139
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: don't know what it's good. You're gonna get on a

140
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: week to week basis, but you get a great effort

141
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: every once in a while. And for them to have

142
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: a winning record, I don't blame Dave Canaos one bit

143
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: for peacock in a little bit after the game.

144
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 8: Really the challenge was for the guys, you know, and

145
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 8: Saturday night just saying, you know, we have seen the

146
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 8: Rams best football and they've been playing amazing, and I said,

147
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 8: no one's seen our best yet.

148
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 6: Like a little spicy Dave canals.

149
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's spicy maybe about the Rams.

150
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: It's just noting to the fact of his team and

151
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: to everybody else that there's room for them to grow,

152
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: and we saw it.

153
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 5: We saw it today.

154
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: Of course, you know we've already seen and heard the

155
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: fourth down completion to tedtar rolland McMillan. A rough day

156
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: for Emmanuel Forbes because Jalen Cocher also got him on

157
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: a deep touchdown pass from Bryce where it just went

158
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: past as outstretched handed, and Canal has kind of got

159
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: Sean McVay in a situation where I want to get

160
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: y'all's opinion, because there is after the Derek Brown great

161
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: play to get the ball back from Matthew Stafford that

162
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: the Rams actually can stop the clock and get the

163
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: ball back, and you're coming up to the two minute warning,

164
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: there is a there's a run by Rico o'dowdell gets stopped,

165
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: doesn't quite get there. Sean gavay calls the timeout on

166
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: that side of the two minute warning with two minutes

167
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: and seventeen seconds to go in the ball game, which

168
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: to me kind of frees up the opportunity for the

169
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: Panthers to pass, setting up a Bryce Young to Cocher

170
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: pass that essentially ends the game. And I'm wondering, is

171
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: it really worth the seventeen seconds in that situation to

172
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: call the timeout on that side of the two minute.

173
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: I do not have a strong take on this one

174
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: because I always debate this one of when to use

175
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: that last time. I think the book would tell you

176
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: to do it how McVeigh does it for some reason.

177
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: But I put it more on the execution that like

178
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: Bryce Young is able to do that in that moment,

179
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: the Rams defense isn't able to get home in that moment.

180
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: They did not have a high pressure rate today, I

181
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: think on that play, if I'm correct, and definitely a

182
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: lot of these fourth down plays like he's unbothered and

183
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: so I guess I put it more on just like

184
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: they were better today, and Emmanuel Forbes, who's had this

185
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: great season, is on the wrong end of both of

186
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: those fourth down like long touchdowns.

187
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: I think if it were me, I probably would have waited.

188
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: I would have used the two minute obviously. I would

189
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: have tried to get them to run a play ahead

190
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 3: of the two minute, and then I would have used

191
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 3: the two minute as my own, like an extra timeout,

192
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: because you know they had already taken the delay penalty.

193
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: Sean McVay goes back and forth all the time with

194
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: his game management people about you know, I don't care

195
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: if you take a delay. You cannot burn a time

196
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 3: out when you might need it at the end of

197
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: the game. This game, they did both, and that's a

198
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 3: double negative that does not make a positive in my opinion,

199
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: and so I think they would have liked to have that,

200
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: especially on that what was it that third down and

201
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: it's a pass play and the coverage is pretty soft

202
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: in the middle, and Bryce Young executes the perfect play,

203
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: the perfect throw to keep the clock running and essentially

204
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: ice out the game. I think a lot of the

205
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: times the Rams seem to be expecting the Panthers to

206
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: run to do those types of things, but Bryce Young

207
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: making great throws all day. You heard it on the touchdown.

208
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: That's a single high safety look. And Emmanuel Forbes was

209
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: talking about how they ran coast to coast on him,

210
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: so they basically swapped assignments or had just they moved

211
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: tete Ao McMillan in within the stack to where he

212
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: basically swaps assignments all the way across the stack going

213
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 3: coast to coast, which means that that's a confusing thing

214
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: for a corner, but still a play that you need

215
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: to make. You can't leave them all alone back there.

216
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: And so I think when you go up against a

217
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: team where you're not expecting. Clearly this Rams seems not

218
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: expecting to have to win in the margins the way

219
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 3: that they ultimately had to do. And that's what happens

220
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: when your quarterback turns the ball over three times and

221
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: the defense doesn't play up to par. Then Yeah, and

222
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: like compliments to the Panthers because they exploited those margins.

223
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 3: They managed the clock really well at the end of

224
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: the game.

225
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they didn't exactly steal this game the Panthers,

226
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: like I do feel like some of the other close wins,

227
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: like the Packers win, it's like they they almost snuck

228
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: out of there. And I get that they did have

229
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: a three to nothing like turnover advantage in this game,

230
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: but they made they made those plays.

231
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I said.

232
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: And the design success rate like for both teams was

233
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: about fifty to fifty. You know, maybe Sean McVay wishes

234
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: in the end, like he called a few more runs

235
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: because they were running whenever they wanted to. They had

236
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: a seventy percent success rate on the ground and over

237
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry. But ultimately, like both sides of

238
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: the ball, were doing great for the Panthers offensively and

239
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: then making enough plays on defense. Let's listen to Mike

240
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Jackson after the game talking about playing against Matthew Stafford.

241
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 9: It was just we just kind of play today. All week,

242
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 9: y'all just kept talking about how great he is and

243
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 9: how like he was Superman with no cake. It was

244
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 9: just like, at the end of the day's about who's

245
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 9: better today, and we were. We got the ball out twice,

246
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 9: what three times? So we got the result that we

247
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 9: want because y'all was just acting like the man. Don't

248
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 9: get wrong, he's a Hall of Famer life. When he's

249
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 9: having his Hall of Fan speech, I'm gonna be thinking

250
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 9: about this peak.

251
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: So he's great.

252
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 9: But at the end of the day, like it's about

253
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 9: who's better that day.

254
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: I love that I did too, And I love that

255
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: they are writing like themselves into this season as a

256
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: real deal part of it. And uh, look, I no

257
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: loss is good. It is a conference loss to me.

258
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: The rest of the Rams regular season mostly came down

259
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks game, and if you want to add

260
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: to it, the Seahawks and Lions game. It now really

261
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: just comes down to the Seahawks team like it's it's

262
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: still the same, everything's still right in front of them

263
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: at nine to three. If you were gonna lose a game,

264
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: maybe this wakes them up a little bit. And the weekend,

265
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: yes they did now one in the NFC. Uh And

266
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: if you're gonna, you know, lose a game, at least

267
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: maybe put together one of the plays of the year.

268
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: We can't leave this game without at least listening to

269
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: the call. I have not heard this yet, but Puka

270
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Nakua just went crazy on that one handed catch.

271
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 5: Stafford set up in the shotgun Panthers creaky.

272
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: Here comes the blitz. It's picked up the frog's left.

273
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: It's if it with the.

274
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 10: Right hand pulls it in at the ten the catch

275
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 10: of the season for Pulta Nakua.

276
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: You can't be serious.

277
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 10: First in goal rams at the age he goes over

278
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 10: the shoulder of the corner Mike Jackson, who had inside leverage.

279
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 10: Puca stumbles, he mits it, and he pulls it to

280
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 10: his rib cage. You will not see a better one

281
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 10: than that.

282
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely electric by Poka Nakua, and by JB Long for

283
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: that matter, on a losing effort there by the rams

284
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: okay so that's the NFC South. The Panthers are staying

285
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: in the mix. Let's go to Indianapolis with one of

286
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: the biggest games left on the schedule in the AFC South.

287
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 11: First, a goal at the seventh straut of the gun

288
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 11: marks to his left plus formation left. CJ takes the

289
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 11: snap and they handed to Nico on the end around,

290
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 11: running left, Nico to the goal line.

291
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 5: He's got it.

292
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 12: Niko Oh takes it in for six from the seven.

293
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: That was Nicocollins, one of many key rushing plays by

294
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans on a day where they not only

295
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: went into Indianapolis and won the game for maybe.

296
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 6: The third or fourth straight week.

297
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: They look kind of normal on offense, Like normal enough.

298
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: That's all we've been asking for, because normal plus this

299
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: defense possibly means an AFC South championship. I mean, they're

300
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: only one game back. This division is looking awfully different.

301
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: That was Mark Vandermere on k I L T And yeah,

302
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: that was my big takeaway from the game.

303
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 6: We'll get to the defense.

304
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: But I think when you think about these two teams

305
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: going up against each other, First of all, Demico Ryans

306
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: is now four and one versus Shane Steiken kind of

307
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: owns them in the division and the Texans defense they

308
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: got their stop at the end when they needed to.

309
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: But what really stuck out to me was the Texans

310
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: get the ball back with plenty of time. You thought,

311
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: maybe Indianapolis will get one more chance to do it,

312
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: but they don't because Woody Marks and the Texans did

313
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: something fantastic.

314
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 6: They just ran the ball to win the game.

315
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 11: Second down and eight from the Houston thirty three yard line,

316
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 11: CJ Stroud every center, Woody Marks in the backfield. Stroud

317
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 11: hands off to Mark's running left Marx taking the ball.

318
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: Across to forty Marx close to a first down.

319
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: He's got the first down of the Houston.

320
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: Forty two yard line. Nothing crazy there, but one of

321
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: my favorite plays of the year that they're just lining

322
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: it up and they're getting the win, and you.

323
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: Had the entire Texans offense signaling first down all at

324
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: the same time. All in yeah, all in Unison. It's like,

325
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: you know, the folks think that there's a you know,

326
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: we're all living in a simulation. They get the amo there.

327
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm just it's sad to learn that Daniel Jones is

328
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: doing all of this h on a broken leg.

329
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we can say, like you can use all the

330
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 5: technical terms like he's.

331
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: Playing with it's a broken leg, and like I feel

332
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: upset not having full awareness of this in previous weeks

333
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: and talk about him looking clunky running the ball.

334
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, his leg is broken.

335
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: He only completed fifty one percent of his passes where

336
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: they had opportunities. They did some weird stuff on offense

337
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: in this game. They probably cost.

338
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 5: Them the game. Yeah.

339
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Injuries are such a big part of this game. First,

340
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones injury that he's playing through that we

341
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: learn more about during the week than sas Gardner leaves

342
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: with a calf injury. He says after the game he

343
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: does not believe it's an Achilles injury. He felt like

344
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: it like it was like a shot, which does not

345
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: sound good. But he was standing in the locker room

346
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: and walking around afterwards. And Tom Pelsero reports they don't

347
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: believe it's gonna be like a overly serious injury.

348
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 6: Now what that means, I don't know.

349
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: It still could be multiple weeks, but it doesn't appear

350
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: to be an Achilles. But I gotta say Patrick, as

351
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: ready as I as I was to talk about how

352
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: clunky Daniel Jones looked because early the pressure is all

353
00:16:59,000 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: over him.

354
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 6: He played great today.

355
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: He had so many third and long completions, and even

356
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: when he hits on a third and long and then

357
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: there's a bad penalty takes it over, he still gets

358
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: the first down on a long throw to Alec Pierce.

359
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: Like he was not on the list of reasons I

360
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: think that the Colts lost this game.

361
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was pressured on just thirty percent of his dropbacks,

362
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 3: which with this Houston Texans front, I guess is a

363
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 3: little surprising. How you would think it would be at

364
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: least ten percent higher than that over the course of

365
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: the game. But he played a clean game against pressure,

366
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: which I think is the most important. He didn't take

367
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: a lot of negative plays or make a lot of

368
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 3: negative plays, or turn the ball over, fumble the ball,

369
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 3: anything like that against pressure. No touchdowns and only fifty

370
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: two yards when he was pressured today. But like I said,

371
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 3: he didn't play like it, and he was more likely

372
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: to sort of dirt the ball or just take the

373
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 3: incomplete pass versus make some catastrophic mistake. This Sunday morning,

374
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: Adam Schefter was on ESPN talking about how they're not

375
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: worried about the forward and backward movement because of the

376
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: fracture and broken leg. Essentially, they're worried about the lateral movement.

377
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's half the movement.

378
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's a significant You could absolutely see it

379
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: all the movement. You could absolutely see it. Because when

380
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: the pressure was getting on him quickly and I didn't

381
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: think the interior offensive line for the Colts played that

382
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: well in this game, then he basically had no hope.

383
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'd go a step further, like the completions

384
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: that he was making in the second half of this

385
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: game to Josh downs over and over, the touchdown that

386
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: he had to Alec Pierce, Pierce's skid for another one.

387
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: I think the Texans secondary and their defense played just

388
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: as well as they did against Buffalo. But he's just

389
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: completing very difficult throws in the second half of this

390
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: game to really talented receiver, I mean your guys, Alec Pearson.

391
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 5: Yes, he's got better targets to work with than Josh Allen.

392
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: Like like I was like, where is Derek Stingley in

393
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: this game? I go back and look, he one target

394
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: against him. So it's like the best matchup you can

395
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: find is Alec Pierce on Kamari Lassiter, like just getting

396
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: in there right before, like Bullock gets there and Jalen

397
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: Petrie had a get This defense is just great and

398
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: so it takes great offense to beat them. And I

399
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: think it was just a good game up in the

400
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: second half. But the biggest difference to me is the

401
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: Colts defense just can't get off the field. Ultimately, the

402
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: Texans had the more consistent offense today. They had twenty

403
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: four first downs, like their success rate was high. They

404
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: were the ones that were variables negative plays. C J.

405
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: Stroud missed some throws, some big mistakes, but more than not,

406
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: they were moving the chains on the ground.

407
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 6: And with CJ.

408
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: Stroud, especially in the second half of this game, he

409
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: kind of looked like the CJ.

410
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: Stroud you want him to look like.

411
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 3: And remember what we said about what this less so

412
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 3: Ramsey kind of offense was going to look like, or

413
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: shanahany kind of offense was going to look like. More

414
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 3: so attempting to look a little bit more Patriotsy. Now,

415
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: I'm not making a statement saying they're there yet by

416
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: any means, but in terms of the short throws on

417
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: attempt center ten areas per next gen c J. Strod

418
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: was sixteen of nineteen for one hundred and sixty two yards.

419
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: So that made such a significant difference, not just in

420
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: the overall production and like you said, being able to

421
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: stay on the field and just eat away underneath that

422
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: defense in bits and pieces, but also to stay ahead

423
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: of the sticks to be as more efficient versus feast

424
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 3: or famine plays trying to press to too hard to

425
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: make a play, especially when sas Gardner unfortunately leaves the game.

426
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: This offense recognized that it had an opportunity to just

427
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 3: chip and piece away and salt away at this defense.

428
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: And he had a ball sale on him for an interception.

429
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: His pocket presence, I would say, was very erratic, like

430
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: sometimes it was okay, But they actually mentioned how he said.

431
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: JJ Watt on the call said this, how he's like, yeah,

432
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: i gotta get used to like having a good pocket.

433
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm so used to in practice. Just imagine the Texans

434
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: defense and practice against that offensive line. I'm so used

435
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: to in practice having to get rid of it so fast.

436
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: And he did kind of walk into a couple of

437
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: the sacks today, but once he calmed down in the

438
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: second half, he made some good throws to Niko who

439
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: almost went for one hundred. He made some good throws

440
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: to Higgins and Schultz, and he played a good enough game.

441
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 6: And they're all the way back.

442
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean they were one game back in this division

443
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: and they are what are they now? Seven and five

444
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: after an zero and three start?

445
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the Jags and Colts where you're looking at

446
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: the AFC South and you had this look of suspicion,

447
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: you know, like we noted at the top of the show,

448
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: but do not be suspicious that the turnover festival that

449
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: happened though on back to back plays where you mentioned,

450
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: you know, cj airmails one to Xavier Hudginson. Cam Biden

451
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: picks it off and looks like he felt like he

452
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 2: had a team celebration plan, but the rest of the

453
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: Colts were not aware of his plan team celebration. So

454
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: it was a dance where one man just had a

455
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: big audience. But the play before that, the Colts have

456
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 2: a fourth and one from the nine yard line. I

457
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: initially watching thought that they threw a bounce pass to

458
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor and.

459
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 5: Like, wow, it's a great idea. It's very dangerous.

460
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 2: No, the tight end direct snap, which I've celebrated with

461
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews went over three league wide today. And this

462
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 2: was probably the biggest failure because the Colts had a

463
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: scoring opportunity. I recognize they get the Alex Pearce, Yeah,

464
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: Alex Pierce touchdown like a couple of minutes later, but

465
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: this was a scoring opportunity that they completely missed because

466
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: they the snap exchange was.

467
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 6: Batter and Daniel Jones.

468
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: Not that they didn't do that a little bit before anyways,

469
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: but Daniel Jones is not an option anymore to sneak.

470
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 6: It does limit them broken legs.

471
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you play football with the broken Shout out

472
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 2: to the digital version of Greg Jennings.

473
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing is like the Texas, you know,

474
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a Texans game without three times in

475
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: the first quarter their offensive isnd literally couldn't line up

476
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: like two illegal formations in a time out because they

477
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: would have had one. They also gave the Colts that

478
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: last chance to possibly win the game because they could

479
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: not pick up a third and one or a fourth

480
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: and one. Got stuffed two times in a row. So

481
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: they're still the Texans, but ultimately last couple of weeks,

482
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: their defense has come through in that gotta have it

483
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: drive late in the game. And the Colts defense, I

484
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: do think they're the weakness here in the NFC or

485
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: the AFC. So they've been on the field for one

486
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one plays over the last two weeks,

487
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: ninety and then seventy one. They cannot get off the field,

488
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: and that opened up the door for the Jacksonville Jaguars

489
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: to enter a three team.

490
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 5: Race third and goal.

491
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 4: Jags from the four yard line of Tennessee got a

492
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 4: bunch to the left, Trevor drops fires middle.

493
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 13: To field up ball is going to be caught for

494
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 13: the touchdowns of Toby Myers.

495
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 14: Find Jacksonville was in the end zone and is taking

496
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 14: the league.

497
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 15: Great lead by Trevor Lawrence and man, you talk about

498
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 15: chemistry with Jacoby Myers before the game. They're working all

499
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 15: the different plays and it looked so routine on that play.

500
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 15: It's a bunch to the left, three wide receivers, Jacobe

501
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 15: runs a slow slam from the left side end and

502
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 15: Trevor makes a nice accurate throw oo.

503
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: That's an early highlight first quarter. But that was all

504
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: the Daguars needed. They went twenty five to three in Tennessee.

505
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: That's Frank Frangi and Jeff Logman on w j XCEL

506
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: to Kobe Myers always been a good player in Las

507
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Vegas and see the talents rise up in Jacksonville. I

508
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: mean he might be like prime Chris Godwin or something.

509
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: He is looking incredible.

510
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: And what direction was he running on that touchdown? Patrick

511
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: to the inside and that is crazy. That was just

512
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 3: his second touchdown of the season. You guys, how bad

513
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: did Jacobe Myers need to get out of Las Vegas.

514
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: He's got back to back touchdowns in these games and

515
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 3: this is five catches, eighty two yards and a touchdown

516
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: all on inbreaking routes aka the ghost routes that Liam

517
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: Cohen was desperately trying to force square pegs into round

518
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: holes before they finally made a move for a receiver

519
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: who Trevor Lawrence. It clearly is gaining such a rapport

520
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 3: with and then you can put other players in other

521
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: areas to do other things like catch a crucial third

522
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: and long like Brian Thomas Junior did earlier in this game.

523
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 3: I want to start with the Titans guys, because this

524
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: is probably all we'll talk about them, and this is

525
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: the Titans. In a nutshell, this game was actually a game.

526
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: For a hot second, the Titans could have made it

527
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: actually a game versus the specter of one. They get

528
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 3: to the Jacksonville thirty yard line with about forty five

529
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 3: seconds left in the first half, and if they get

530
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: a touchdown there, they're down only five points. Their defense was, yes,

531
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 3: giving up volume in yards per play, but they were

532
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 3: playing well versus Trevor Lawrence on pressure downs. He did

533
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: start eight for eleven in this game, but in pressure

534
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 3: downs they really they got to him a couple of times.

535
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 3: And then they're in this position where they could potentially

536
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 3: turn this into a competitive event, and cam Ward misses

537
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: two throws, they get a delay of game penalty in

538
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: their own house. They pick up a few yards under

539
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: what they need on a long third down because apparently

540
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 3: it is impossible to design a play at or beyond

541
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: the sticks for this offense on third down, and then

542
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard drops the fourth and two pass from cam Ward.

543
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: The Jags get the ball back and they end up

544
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: getting three points out of it. But this was never

545
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 3: a game. Once the once the Titans failed on that

546
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 3: fourth and two, this was never again a game. The

547
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 3: entire time.

548
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: That's two times in three weeks, you know, including the

549
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: Chargers game where the Jaguars defense essentially just won the

550
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: game by themselves. I know this is against the Titans,

551
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: but it's a division win.

552
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 6: You need it.

553
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: And on a day where the Jaguars offense you didn't

554
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: go over three hundred yards, the success rates not particularly high.

555
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: They're their running game has been as inconsistent as their

556
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: defense this season, maybe even more so, because sometimes it

557
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: looks incredible and sometimes it looks terrible. It does remind

558
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: me of, you know, like that they're like a scheme

559
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: slash game plan type of team. There are teams that

560
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: pop up like this each year where it's like they

561
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: got the right game plan. On a given day they

562
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: look incredible, but sometimes it looks poor. But now they're

563
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: finally at least one part of the team can step

564
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: up in a given week.

565
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Et gets two point three yards to carry, Twoton

566
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: comes up behind it, two point one touchdown. Yeah he

567
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: did get into the end zone, but it was it

568
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 2: was a good tread day, you know, not just the touchdown.

569
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: And also the longest reception of Jacoby Myers's career came

570
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: before that Jacoby Myers touchdowns. Congratulations to him.

571
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 6: The breaker long and fifty yards.

572
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the removal of Jacoby Myers from Las Vegas. Great

573
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: for Jacoby Myers and a bonus for the Jacksonville Jaguars

574
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: were Briton Strange also got an inbreaker on a touchdown

575
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: where you'd seen that go horribly wrong for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

576
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: And again we'll use the it's the Titans caveat, but

577
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: considering the way things have gone this season, you have

578
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 2: to think, hey, positive things, not just for the Jacks,

579
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: but the AFC South as well.

580
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 5: Let's get three in there.

581
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 6: Breton Strange changes their offense.

582
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: To me, what do you think, Jordan just watching with

583
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas back in the mix.

584
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: Well, they're still trying to figure out like where everybody

585
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: actually like what their role is going to be. And

586
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 3: remember you guys, like this is still going to be

587
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: We have to do this again if you're the coaching staff,

588
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: because you're trying to figure out also where Travis Hunter

589
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: fits in. It's not just Breton Strange, who, yes, I

590
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 3: do think is a key element. He's like that Liam

591
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: Cohen and this coaching tree. They always want the one

592
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: outlier tight end who can block well enough but certainly

593
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: presents a mismatch in the passing game. Who can align

594
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: and change gaps for defenders. That's what this guy does, right,

595
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: That's all great. It's actually Jacobe Myers. I think it

596
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 3: was helping them figure out what the identity for conceptually

597
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 3: specifically their passing game is. It's not doing much for

598
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: them on the ground. They only had you know, seventy

599
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 3: rushing yards total today. I credit the Titans defense. They

600
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: are not a good defense, okay, but they are. They

601
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 3: do not quit. They are not just creditable that we

602
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: talked about, which is a word, but they're credible as

603
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 3: a group.

604
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 6: They play creditible and credible.

605
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: They play hard like this this had to be a

606
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence plays well through the air game and and

607
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 3: you would have expected this this Jacksonville team to close

608
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: this game out far far earlier than they did. But

609
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: they could not close it because they could not run

610
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: the ball. And so this game just like get dragged

611
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: on and on and on because of that reason. And

612
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: I do think that it's it's Jacksonville will have to

613
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 3: continue to figure out what its passing attack actually looks like.

614
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: It's great that they've got two pieces in Jacoby Myers

615
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: and in Brenton Strange, who they can sort of move

616
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: around the stack a little bit, sort of like they're

617
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: orbiting in a in a solar system, if you're looking

618
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: at the center as the literal center of the solar system.

619
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: Because those guys can move. The problem is they keep

620
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: losing and adding different guys. Parker Washington left the game

621
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: clutching like he just fell down on the field, clutching

622
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 3: the right side of his abdomen. They called it a

623
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 3: hip injury. They also lost another offensive lineman, Walker little

624
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 3: Is in the concussion protocol might have had something to

625
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: do with how poorly they ultimately ran the ball. They

626
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: weren't having a lot of success beforehand. This team is

627
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: still figuring itself out. They're kind of lucky, I think,

628
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: to be where they're at in the division.

629
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 6: They're in four.

630
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

631
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: I love.

632
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 6: This division right now. Let's listen to Liam Cohen.

633
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: Just one week at a time.

634
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 16: Want to know, you know, for the rest of the way,

635
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 16: we're giving ourselves an opportunity to play meaningful games in

636
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 16: November and December, and that's ultimately all you can ask

637
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 16: for in this league and the rest of the way,

638
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 16: you've got competitive, meaningful football games, and I think that

639
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 16: that's just an important, you know thing for us to

640
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 16: go through as a team, you know, in year one

641
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 16: to have the opportunity to do those things and to

642
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 16: earn that, I think is important for us to be

643
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 16: able to continue to move forward as a team.

644
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: What's also important is that when one phase of this

645
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 3: offense shuts down completely at any given moment, the defense

646
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: really steps up. And I want to shout out very quickly.

647
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 3: Josh heinz Allen, who had seven pressures and two sacks,

648
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: had an absolutely monster game. Yes it was against the Titans.

649
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 3: Still he has thirty three sacks between weeks nine and thirteen.

650
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: The Jags were on their week at eight byes, so

651
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: post by week, which is the best in the NFL

652
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: for next gen five and a half sacks through that

653
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: span as well. He's playing monster football.

654
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: And almost all their games the rest of the year

655
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: are at one pm Eastern, like they are a candidate

656
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: to get flecked somewhere and you know it's too late

657
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: for next week, but you know they have next week.

658
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis Colts a battle for first place. But you

659
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: know who's in first place technically right now? Who's that

660
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars have already overtaken Indianapolis. It's going to

661
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: be a fascinating end because they have the Colts twice,

662
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: but they also have the Titans and the Jets and

663
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: mixed in there games where they you know, at home

664
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville where they'll be heavily favored. So it's kind

665
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: of the schedule you want, and a big one against

666
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: the Colts next week.

667
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 6: Let's take a break.

668
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: We will come back on the other side. I thought

669
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen versus Aaron Rodgers would be in the

670
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: A block. But do better, do better?

671
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 6: Bills and Steelers. Steelers, especially.

672
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 14: Alan in the shotgun here with Todd Johnson, who is

673
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 14: right on third and goal from the eight.

674
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 6: Here's the snap.

675
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 14: Alan gonna keep it, gonna look to bust it outside,

676
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 14: lowers the shoulder, the SERTs pushing him forward.

677
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 13: Progress He's in for the touchdown. The Beast has been

678
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 13: released as he goes eight yards for a touchdown.

679
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: The Beast resides in Buffalo, and it made a trip

680
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh to help embarrass the Steelers twenty six to

681
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: seven in a game where yeah, they were just tougher

682
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: than them on the ground. Once upon a time on

683
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast, I made the worst comp ever,

684
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: saying Josh Allen could someday be a man's Cam Newton. Well,

685
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: today he passed Cam Newton as the all time NFL

686
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: leader among quarterbacks with rushing touchdowns. That is seventy six

687
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: on the ground and typical of a day where Buffalo

688
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: dominated on the ground.

689
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: Two hundred and forty nine net rushing yards. I almost

690
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: got to my two point fifty mark that I was

691
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: just shouting across the news. Yervit you, guys, at every

692
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: after every you wanted it bad, James Cook, carry guys.

693
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: This was a dismal, dismal night for the Pittsburgh Steelers

694
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 3: and for their fans, on a night that these fans

695
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: booed Renegade when it played in the fourth quarter, which

696
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 3: reporters who have been there forever say has never happened before.

697
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 3: And you gotta hear from Mike Tomlin postgame about that vibe. Right,

698
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 3: did you have a sense for how restless and frustrated

699
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 3: the crowd was today?

700
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 4: I don't know how restless and frustrated I was, and

701
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: so I assume they were in the same state we

702
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: were in.

703
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 3: And that's a NFL Daily listener, and my good friend

704
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: Brooke Pryor with the question there a tough question getting

705
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: asked postgame there, because that is pure misery. This was

706
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 3: a ten two quarterbacks, ten completions game between Aaron Rodgers,

707
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: who at one point left the game because he split

708
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: the bridge of his nose, and Mason Rudolph, whose name

709
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 3: I always seem to forget. Can't really imagine why. And

710
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: this was just an ugly, ugly game for in every

711
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: phase for the Steelers, and it's really interesting that it

712
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 3: happened that way, because it started out as if it

713
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: would be that way. In fact, for the Bills. Brandon

714
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: Eckles intercepted Josh Allen on the opening drive. He sat

715
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: right down over his route to do it. Then the

716
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 3: Steelers make nothing of it offensively, and then it's the

717
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 3: second quarter. This is still a rock fight. Zero zero.

718
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 3: James Cook actually fumbles the ball and the Steelers turned

719
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 3: that shorter field into a touchdown by j Jaylen Worri

720
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: As I look over my cubicle to Patrick Clavon, and

721
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 3: the second half opened up and it was. Then it

722
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 3: was Buffalo's turn to not just join the takeaway party,

723
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 3: but also to completely smother and suffocate this game away.

724
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 3: Joey bosa sack of Aaron Rodgers on the first play

725
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: from scrimmage led to a Christian Benford scoop and score.

726
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 3: That was also the play that Aaron Rodgers got hurt on.

727
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 3: And then when Mason Rudolph goes in the game, he

728
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: very quickly thereafter throws an interception to Christian Benford, who

729
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 3: had a hell of a game. Let's listen to it

730
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: first and.

731
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: Ten at the twenty six pistol, look from the Steelers.

732
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 14: Here with Warren behind Rodgers and he's gonna take no

733
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 14: it's a big hand off play action Rogers starting pressure

734
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 14: in the.

735
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 13: Pocketing sacked that he fubbled, its skipped.

736
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 6: Up by Bedford.

737
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 13: Any races to the end zone for the touchdown. Joey Bosa,

738
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 13: with his team record fifth forced fubble of the season,

739
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,959
Speaker 13: leads to a turnover and a touchdown from Buffy, who.

740
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: Well, that was a scoop and score, but yeah see.

741
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 3: Christian Benford also followed up that play with another amazing play,

742
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 3: intercepting Mason Rudolph it got worse from there. At that point,

743
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 3: the Bills put together a sixteen play drive. A fourteen

744
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 3: play drive essentially salted this game away, ran the ball

745
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 3: behind James Cook and only spelled him a little bit.

746
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: For Ray Davis when it seemed like he needed a

747
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 3: little bit of a breather, This was all Buffalo the

748
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 3: rest of the way. And even when this game sat

749
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 3: at ten to seven earlier on in the third quarter,

750
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: you really thought, it doesn't really matter. This is all

751
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott's Buffalo Bill's need. He was seemed like a

752
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 3: happy as a pig and poop. The game was that

753
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: close and they were just gonna have to run it

754
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: down Pittsburgh's throat to seal It.

755
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: Just not the recipe for the Steelers that I know,

756
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. It was kind of flipping scripts with Aaron

757
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: Rodgers got rid of the ball much quicker than Aaron

758
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers today. But they had one quarterback hit Pittsburgh Steelers

759
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: and they're getting steamrolled on the ground, which has been

760
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: a trend through the course of the season. But you

761
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 1: have all those pass strushers, all the guys up front,

762
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: and they blitzed forty four percent of the time. There

763
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of pass attempts, like it was a

764
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: conservative Bills passing game as usual lately, but still to

765
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: get dominated like that one quarterback hit a twenty five

766
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: percent pressure rate, like they're just not going to win

767
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: that way.

768
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: And even when Josh Allen was dropping back to pass,

769
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 2: the Steelers would t j Watt missed him a couple

770
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 2: of times. There was a fourth and goal where Josh

771
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: did you know Josh Allen's pump fix. Somebody's jumping every

772
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: single time, whether he's down the field or not. He

773
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 2: gets a defender to jump, comes back, Keon Coleman gets

774
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 2: a touchdown reception. So I'm glad he exists and he's

775
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: back in the good graces of the staff to allow

776
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 2: him to play football because they need him there and

777
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 2: over on the other side when they when they were

778
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 2: up ten to seven, like you know, it's a goal

779
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: to go situation. So I have, of course in the

780
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: newsroom arguing for a field goal and Jordan's like, no,

781
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 2: they need a touchdown.

782
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 5: I'm like, have you seen the Steelers?

783
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 3: No, I said, I wanted a touchdown.

784
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: She would love difference a sign of life from the game,

785
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 2: which was already a rock fight at that point. But

786
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers was five of twelve on passes beyond the

787
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, and some of those behind the line

788
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: of scrimmage completions like Kenny Gambole had to make a

789
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: grab with one hand off of his shoelaces on a

790
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: swing pass like it was. He gets seventeen yards there

791
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: for some reason. You know, Jayalen Warren gets the rushing

792
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 2: touchdown after that. But it was like what the Pittsburgh

793
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: Steelers had to do to move the ball was crazy.

794
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 2: The offense is doing nothing, it's offering nothing. I wouldn't

795
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: pick them to win.

796
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: What did you say he's playing with on his arm?

797
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean he looked like a microwave.

798
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could have been a microwave, an Amazon box, yeah,

799
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: a water bottle. Like the cast is so big that

800
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers couldn't.

801
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 3: He fully close his hands off of it. I mean,

802
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 3: who knows, and so like some faraway planet.

803
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: How dejected do you feel if you're Mason Rudolph and

804
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers goes out there with a club on his

805
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: left hand and then he gets hurt. You go in

806
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 2: the game, throw a pick and Rogers with blood streaming

807
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: down his face and a broken hand, goes back in

808
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: the game.

809
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 3: And we get to a point, and and Mason, let me,

810
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 3: let me be clear, the ten completions that I spoke of.

811
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: We're all Aaron Rodgers Kens twenty one.

812
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph was zero for three with an interception, and

813
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers had just had enough of himself of his own. Yeah,

814
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: I'm sure he was in a great, great deal of

815
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: pain because he could not receive the snap with a

816
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 3: closed hand he had he had a flat palm like

817
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 3: even receiving the snap. They showed a close up of it.

818
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 3: It looked it looked pretty painful. The split across the

819
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 3: bridge of his nose started leaking out of the bandage

820
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 3: that was around it at one point, But we still

821
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 3: had Aaron Rodgers just in peak. Annoyed Aaron Rodgers throwing

822
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 3: the ball to places on the field that his receivers

823
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: should be in but they were not in, but still

824
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: making that throw to make a point, you guys, I

825
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 3: just sprayed all over the table. This is this like,

826
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: this has got to be bottom for these Steelers, can

827
00:39:58,800 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: it not?

828
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: Oh? There can always be they go They're literally tied

829
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: for first place right now, so it could get a

830
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: lot worse for the Steelers, or because it's Mike Tomlin

831
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: and because it's the Steelers, although this does feel different

832
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: with fans in the crowd literally chanting to fire Tomlin.

833
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: That's a new one. But yeah, it could always get worse.

834
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: You got the Ravens two more times the rest of

835
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: the way, including next week, and so the Ravens are

836
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: not playing well right now. The Steelers are not a

837
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: team you can remotely trust right now.

838
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 3: And we'll see, We'll give you that one. Greg, I

839
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 3: feel like this also should not go and said, is

840
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 3: that the Bills. It's a good thing that they could

841
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 3: win on the ground. That very quickly and very clearly

842
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 3: became the number one A plus plan for them to

843
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 3: be in and they stuck to it. To their credit,

844
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 3: they couldn't get anything done really in the passing game.

845
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: I know I'm a broken record at this point, but

846
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 3: the first play for either team of over of twenty

847
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: or more yards happened with eleven minutes and twenty nine

848
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 3: seconds left in the third quarter, and it was, of

849
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 3: course James Cook run. This was not nothing was happening.

850
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: An explosive run schemed up for those Steelers fans were

851
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: chanting to fire Mike Tomlin.

852
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 5: Joe Brady might be available.

853
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: If you're looking, if you're looking for a boost, to

854
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 2: kind of change the circumstances, go get one of these

855
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 2: hot young coaches and get rid of Mike Tomlin.

856
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 7: Do that.

857
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 5: Steelers gonna watch great place.

858
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 3: Joe Brady on like seven different teams today.

859
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 17: Just stick.

860
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 5: The fans are calling for it, they want to change.

861
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: So we got Steelers Ravens for first place of the

862
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: AFC North next week, that's an early mam Colts Jaggs

863
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: for first place of the AFC South.

864
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 6: That's an early game.

865
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: Next week Bears Packers for first place of the NFC North.

866
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: That's a late afternoon game. Pretty spicy time of year.

867
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: The weather's getting bad, the offenses are getting bad. And

868
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: speaking of bad offenses, let's go to Seattle.

869
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 10: Fourth and one, Minnesota from a four yard line. Brosmark

870
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 10: breaks the huddle. He'll go under center C. J.

871
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: Hammond.

872
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 10: Aaron Jones in the backfield, gets fourth and one. Brosnan

873
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 10: rolls out to the right. He's in trouble.

874
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 18: He's gonna pull the ball up heads job awful decision

875
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 18: next Brosner.

876
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 10: And this is going to be a defensive touchdown for

877
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 10: the Seattle Seahawks.

878
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: It's Ernest Jones top four with the.

879
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 10: First touchdown of his career, and Seattle has taken a

880
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 10: nine zero lead. Max Brosner, falling to the field, decided

881
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 10: to underhand it to absolutely nobody except Ernest Jones.

882
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: Paul is Paul Allen. That is your first ever worst

883
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: throw of the year nominee to lead a game that

884
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: might be the leader in the clubhouse. Let's be honest.

885
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 1: Thank you, Eric Chris whoever decided to go with Paul's

886
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: call there, that's that's your late Thanksgiving present to me.

887
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: An awful decision.

888
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 5: I thought I thought Paul had hit bottom right, No,

889
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 5: he had bottle yet.

890
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 6: So that's the thing, Like can always be worse.

891
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: Our friend Reef Asan, but who I saw in Dublin

892
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: this year, Yeah, he'd been making the point this week

893
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: on Blue Sky'd be like everyone who wanted Brozemer. It

894
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: could get worse. It did get worse. They didn't score

895
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: a point and Max Brosmer was the first quarterback to

896
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: throw four interceptions in his first start.

897
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 5: Since Nathan Peterman.

898
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 6: Is okay, that's it.

899
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 2: It's this is not because you talked about this, this

900
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: is not the Peterman game.

901
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: But before I even knew that'stat, I before even the

902
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: fourth interception, I was like, this game has Peterman vibes.

903
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 2: It could have had Peterman vibes if he had thrown

904
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 2: all of those interceptions in the first halfp for a

905
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: weird decision to play him instead of to Rod Taylor

906
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: in the first place, and you go back on that,

907
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: it's a dark moment in the McDermott tomline.

908
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 5: We've put that there.

909
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: There was a tweet, you know, QB one Nathan Peterman, Peterman.

910
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 6: It was a moment.

911
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: This was this was playing the best defense in the league,

912
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: in my opinion, at least in the NFC. I'm giving

913
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: it to the Texans right now. Overall, it's a brutal matchup.

914
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison has a key drop early. There's a couple

915
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: passes that were not perfectly on target that his receivers

916
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: didn't help him with, a couple to Justin Jefferson. One

917
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: bounced off Jefferson's chest. Looked like the defender maybe got

918
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: there like a little early, and so maybe nobody's at

919
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: fault there. That one gets picked off. The game actually started,

920
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: I thought with Brozemer looking better, making quicker decisions, making

921
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: some positive plays, but ultimately he was not accurate and

922
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: the good decision making ended obviously on that throw. Especially

923
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: that was a fourth down play, so I think he

924
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: was he was just thinking, well, it's fourth down. You

925
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: can't just eat the ball in the red zone, or

926
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: you're just trying to throw it away and not give

927
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: up the field position. But it was a disaster, and

928
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: it was an awesome game by DeMarcus Lawrence.

929
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 6: He's already got the cut. I love it.

930
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: I just love how healthy this Seahawks team is. That's

931
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: a weird thing to say. I don't want to jinx it.

932
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 3: Knock on wood finds Yeah, somewhat.

933
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: But is a reminder like right now they're all out there,

934
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: like Witherspoon, Emon Worry had a couple of great plays.

935
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams was with the pressure I believe on that play,

936
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: made a couple of nice plays early and then DeMarcus

937
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: Lawrence has been awesome and had a crazy good force

938
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: fumble in this game in addition to a couple other plays.

939
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: And so yeah, it wasn't a good Seahawks game on

940
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: offense didn't matter.

941
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 3: The Seattle Seahawks defense became the first defense to intercept

942
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 3: a quarterback four times in a game since.

943
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 5: The the Los Angeles run a.

944
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 3: Couple of weeks ago when it happened to Sam Darnold, who,

945
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: let's be clear, did not. I mean, to your point,

946
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 3: Greg did not have his best game today either, was

947
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 3: facing pressure, especially blitz pressure on like sixty three percent

948
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 3: of his dropbacks. Yeah, that'll that'll hassle anyone. And you

949
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: know I always hesitate to same with JJ McCarthy back

950
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 3: when he was first, you know, starting, and we were

951
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 3: getting an actual understanding of who is I don't want

952
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 3: to ever write off a young cornerback we miss as

953
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: your first start against Yes, I agree, one of the

954
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 3: best top two defenses in the NFL, and depending on

955
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 3: the week, probably number one. And as aggressive and smart

956
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 3: as they are and well coached as they are, this

957
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 3: is this just seemed insurmountable for the start from the start.

958
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, the world was up against them.

959
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 2: They got some good runs late, but that was at

960
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 2: the point where the game was already the Vikings.

961
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh okay late, Yes, because they actually had a

962
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: zero percent success rate with about eight minutes or ten

963
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game a zero percent.

964
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 3: Very hard to do.

965
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 2: But once they got into garbage Tom, yes, they got

966
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 2: a little healthy in the run game. I as Greg

967
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: you pointed out during the game, we looked back during

968
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 2: the season and it was already already established by the

969
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: Esteine Baker Mayfield as well as Greg Rosenthal. As games

970
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: start to matter more and we begin the conversation with

971
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 2: Sam Donald scoring points, him and JSN are both within

972
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 2: the conversation. He has not scored a point in the

973
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 2: conversation since we in and Greg you made the call today,

974
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: no more points for Sam in week thirteen.

975
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: Not in this game. I mean, he had one hundred

976
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: and twenty six yards. He had a couple fumbles. I

977
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 1: think the Vikings defense looked like the old Vikings defense,

978
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: and we're very much up for what could have been

979
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: a fun defensive game. Before that interception, the Seahawks had

980
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: eighty four yards on offense in the whole first half. Yeah,

981
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: and they had opportunities. I think the number one thing

982
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: to feel good about though from the Seahawks offense is

983
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: the running game carried them throughout the day. Their running

984
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: game was consistent really from start to finish. The passing

985
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: game and the pass protection was not especially on the interior.

986
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: But ultimately I do think Kenneth walk is playing better.

987
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, like I'm not going to take too much

988
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: from this as a difficult challenge against the Vikings, and

989
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: I do think Mike McDonald and you know, their offense

990
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: absolutely called the game in the second half. Even in

991
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: the first half, some of the fourth down decisions that like, hey,

992
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: we know we're not going to give up any points today,

993
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: so let's just be safe.

994
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 3: And I think even though you don't want to put

995
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 3: too much on the shoulders specifically of the quarterback n

996
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 3: drafted freegeing quarterback making his very first start, probably hasn't

997
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 3: gotten you know, I know it's been a huge topic

998
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 3: of conversation everywhere around the league. Grady has gotten a

999
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 3: ton of reps in practice or anything like that, certainly

1000
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: got all of them leading up to this game. But

1001
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: it's it's like an organizational question because I mean, the

1002
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 3: biggest storyline entering this game was the one that got

1003
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 3: away in Sam Donald, that reporting by my colleague Alec Lewis,

1004
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 3: by others around the league, showed by Sam Donald commenting

1005
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 3: himself earlier this week about how there was a split

1006
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 3: in desire to keep him and him being aware of that,

1007
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 3: and that part being part of the conversation, the other conversation,

1008
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 3: not the most important, not the conversation, and so this was,

1009
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 3: you know, no, Sam Donald did not have his best game,

1010
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 3: but against the caliber of play, if you were to

1011
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 3: just kind of roll reverse a little bit against this

1012
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 3: caliber of play, you at least get a higher floor.

1013
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 3: Whether it's Sam like, whether it's J. J. McCarthy like,

1014
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 3: you get a higher floor if it's Sam Donald. And

1015
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 3: I think the Seahawks have known that all along.

1016
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: It's interesting if that split happened to be the coach

1017
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: wants the quarterback by the front office doesn't like. That's

1018
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: kind of the second straight quarterback that went out the

1019
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: window that the coach wanted because I think on some level,

1020
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, he was a Kirk guy for a while.

1021
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: They didn't want to go far enough. And now they're

1022
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: in a situation they're four and eight. It can always

1023
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: get worse, and it might. Seahawks now tied for the

1024
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: Rams atop the NFC West. That game that they have,

1025
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: I think Week sixteen looms large all right. Let's we

1026
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: talked to NFC South earlier. Let's go to the team

1027
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 1: that the lead entering Sunday.

1028
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 4: We move right, lead Gen three pistol formation.

1029
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 5: Now hand them all off running to the left.

1030
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 15: But there's a bucket irv against either the Chat five

1031
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 15: creature lot touchdown Tambaway Bucky Irving first touchdouve of the season.

1032
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: Really, that's Gene Decker half on wf US. Great to

1033
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: see some of the players for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

1034
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: playing football together again. Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, Hassan Reddick was.

1035
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 6: Out there rushing the passer.

1036
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers hold on to win twenty to seventeen over

1037
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, who haven't met a close game that they

1038
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: couldn't lose.

1039
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 6: How did the Buccaneers do it?

1040
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:44,399
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1041
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, the Buccaneers know how to win

1042
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 3: close games, as evidenced by their previous record to this point,

1043
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 3: and the Cardinals know how to lose them, as evidenced

1044
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 3: by their previous record to this point. Because the Arizona

1045
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 3: Cardinals are now o and seven in games this season

1046
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 3: decided by four points.

1047
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: Or less, that's a real one score. When people are like, oh,

1048
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are in one score. It's like, yeah, they

1049
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: scored a late touchdown to make it eight points. The

1050
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals are losing at the very last second. All the time, I.

1051
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 3: Would call this knife twisting one score because Jacoby Brissett,

1052
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 3: who had an early interception but then played so poised

1053
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 3: on a touchdown drive that got them within three points

1054
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, made one of the most beautiful

1055
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 3: throws I think I've seen all year in terms of

1056
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 3: just that you know, the quarterback doing it in just

1057
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 3: the gracefulness of which he hits Bam Knight for the

1058
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 3: touchdown to bring the Cardinals within three, as he's twisting

1059
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 3: away and throwing as his body is contorting and he's

1060
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,240
Speaker 3: drifting away from the direction of the throw and throwing

1061
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 3: across and it was great. But that was the only

1062
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 3: moment that made you feel for a second like maybe

1063
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 3: the Cardinals could make this comeback, because with one forty

1064
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 3: nine left to play, he and the Cardinals offense get

1065
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 3: the ball back and ultimately see a fourth and two

1066
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 3: and Jacoby Brissett just flat out misses the throw over

1067
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 3: the middle. Kind of looked similar, honestly to his interception

1068
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 3: where he just throws it right to the defender. It's

1069
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 3: just off target and that's it, and the Cardinals know it.

1070
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 3: And you know, cut to Jonathan Gannon speaking of knife

1071
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 3: twisting on the sideline, who just looks sick to his

1072
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 3: stomach because it's happened to this team yet again.

1073
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: This Buccaneers team is strange because so many of these

1074
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: wins they get and you're there, maybe on paper leave

1075
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: you a little wanting.

1076
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 6: So you watch the closer.

1077
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: Obviously, you know they win the turnover battle two to nothing,

1078
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: but they're out gained by more than one hundred yards

1079
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: in it. And like, did they look like the better

1080
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: team in this game?

1081
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 3: Uh? For it was fits and starts, as this Buccaneers

1082
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 3: team has looked so often. And I will say there

1083
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 3: were some issues with drops. Earlier in the game. Emmaica

1084
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 3: Buka had to drop, Chris Godwin dropped a would have

1085
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 3: been a touchdown catch in the end zone. He made

1086
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 3: up for it later by catching like a pretty crucial

1087
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 3: third down later in the game. And this was a

1088
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 3: team that's like trying to figure out what it is

1089
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 3: again after getting all of these back. Baker, there were

1090
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 3: a couple misthrows. A couple of times he went on

1091
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 3: the run and just said, Okay, I need to pick

1092
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 3: up these third.

1093
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 6: Downs twenty one yard run in this game.

1094
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, So he breaks off a twenty one yard run

1095
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 3: and converts. This was one of the biggest drives of

1096
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 3: the entire game. Tes Johnson draws an OPI that like,

1097
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 3: even I who, I don't really argue about calls or whatever.

1098
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 3: I was like, that probably could have gone either way

1099
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 3: on that one. And that brings back a Rashad White

1100
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 3: touchdown off of a screen, and then that sets up

1101
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 3: a third and thirteen. The Bucks get a couple of yards,

1102
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 3: and then Todd Bowles actually opts to go for it

1103
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: on the fourth and two and Baker Mayfield hits Sterling

1104
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 3: Shepherd for five yards and a couple of plays later,

1105
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 3: another touchdown is called back again through penalty. So King

1106
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 3: Grizzard just goes, we'll give the ball to our best

1107
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 3: player and Tristan Wirfs declares as eligible and catch us

1108
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 3: his first career touchdown. Let's hear that thing.

1109
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 11: They're down and goal for the truth lay after fake

1110
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 11: property with the nypopos left.

1111
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: I caught ball, touched down to an eligible receiver.

1112
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 15: Tristan warps a little sprint Pavery hed a bucgety or

1113
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 15: score up, touchdown fire the pandage.

1114
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. And and to your point, Gregor're

1115
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 3: to your question, like, the Bucks just had a bunch

1116
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 3: of crucial moments. It's including two touchdowns called back because

1117
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 3: of self inflicted errors, penalties calls it maybe don't go

1118
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:47,399
Speaker 3: their way. They needed this win so badly and and

1119
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 3: they they needed to really kind of find themselves again.

1120
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 3: Chris Godwin and like rightfully so based off of what

1121
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 3: he went through, has not been playing confident football in

1122
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 3: my in my eyesight, like and and this game getting

1123
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 3: that third down was so important for him. In Baker Mayfield,

1124
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 3: Emmika Buka has been in a little bit of a

1125
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 3: slide too, and it's a lot for a rookie to

1126
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 3: have to take on him. Getting his rhythm back a

1127
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 3: little bit later in the game that was important. This

1128
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 3: whole offense just is regaining kind of like what it was.

1129
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,760
Speaker 3: Especially having Bucky Irving back was so important for them.

1130
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1131
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 2: Good to see Irving get his first rushing touchdown of

1132
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 2: the season there on the one we heard earlier. And

1133
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 2: you know, second game back for Chris Godwin looked like

1134
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 2: he had more of his legs under him, and I'm

1135
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 2: glad the Bucks are getting more healthy. But I picked

1136
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 2: the Cardinals in this game because I thought that all

1137
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 2: the things that had happened, the kaleidoscope of events that

1138
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 2: it takes for the Cardinals to lose these football games,

1139
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: and this was a new one where you have a

1140
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 2: game winning drive opportunity. It's fourth and two and Jacoby

1141
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 2: Brissett has Trey McBride as a decoy on the play.

1142
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 2: He looks his way. The problem is Xavier Weaver is

1143
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 2: the other receiver there, and Savassier Ennis is looking at

1144
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett like, you're not going to throw the ball

1145
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 2: the Xavier Weaver.

1146
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: Not again. He was the guy who threw it too

1147
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: last week.

1148
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 2: And so he comes back to Michael Wilson. Think that

1149
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 2: thinking that Sabassia Dennis would have moved at all. No,

1150
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 2: he's just standing right there because, yeah, he's not throwing

1151
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: ball the Weaver. He's going to Wilson the whole way

1152
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: and just adds on to the again, the full kaleidoscope

1153
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 2: of things that have.

1154
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 5: Caused the Cardinals.

1155
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're just a weird team.

1156
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: There's sixty percent success rate for the Cardinals in this

1157
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: game under forty for the Bucks. Not many games this

1158
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: year won that way. The pass rush pressure was great though,

1159
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 1: with Reddick back, so maybe he helped out quite a bit.

1160
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 3: And let me correct really quick, and I know we

1161
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 3: have to move, but I want to correct myself. Trey

1162
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 3: McBride's touchdown catch was the one that brought them within

1163
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 3: three points. The incredible throw to Bam Night was a

1164
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 3: little bit earlier in the game, but still this game

1165
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 3: they had a chance to win it and they couldn't

1166
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 3: take it.

1167
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 6: So they don't look amazing. And yet you look at

1168
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 6: the rest of the schedule.

1169
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: They got the Panthers two times and that's going to

1170
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 1: be really exciting, and all the other three games that

1171
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: they have they will be heavily favored in, including a

1172
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: couple of home games against the Saints and the Falcons.

1173
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Miami where, yeah, they're winning some more games.

1174
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: They're trying to stay in that In the Hunt graphic,

1175
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 1: they're trying to get Mike McDaniel a job for next year.

1176
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 5: From the seventh.

1177
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 17: Yard line now shuck out of the shot, trips took

1178
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 17: the left stat looking pressure gets it all. Interceptor Witch

1179
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 17: Patrick down the sideline two points the other way, Fitzpatrick

1180
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 17: walks through the Enzo.

1181
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,959
Speaker 1: It's gonna wrap this game up. It's the first two

1182
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: point return for the day or for the season rather

1183
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: as a highlight. That's Jimmy Seffalo. That's on wb GG.

1184
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: The Saints had come all the way back to within

1185
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: two points just over a minute to go, and Minka

1186
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick helps to save the day and the Dolphins survive

1187
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: and on side kick was successful. How do you pronounce

1188
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: the name Charlie smythe Yes, the dude, and but the

1189
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins hold on twenty one seven.

1190
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1191
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 2: The former Gaelic football player from Northern Ireland. Shout out

1192
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 2: to the community there making his NFL regular season debut. Albeit,

1193
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: you know, it felt great for a moment which they

1194
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 2: can't erase. You know, we'll still have that, but it

1195
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 2: felt like the Fins were going to run away with

1196
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: This game starts off with a Devon h chan A

1197
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 2: touchdown run. He looked explosive. He was the best part

1198
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 2: of the offense. Weird game from two several passes and

1199
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 2: danger one that was picked off for Jalen Wattle, where

1200
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 2: kool Aid mcintrey had the deep third on the left

1201
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: side of the field. Darren Waller was screaming up the

1202
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 2: seam and mckintree's hips went to Waller. His body did

1203
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 2: two too. Was like, oh goodie, this is a touchdown

1204
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 2: to Jalen Waddle. No, he threw a mahat air balloon.

1205
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 2: It hung in the air. I got the stopwatch out

1206
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: for two and a half seconds. Mckinrey had time to

1207
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 2: turn and pick that ball off. And the rest of

1208
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: the game was a lot of Riley Patterson field goals

1209
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 2: and including a weird situation at the end of the

1210
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 2: first half. The fence had a third and three from

1211
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 2: the thirty five Tua hits Malik Washington for a first

1212
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 2: down with twenty four seconds left on the clock, and

1213
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: you're thinking, Okay, they're gonna get up their clockett take

1214
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 2: a couple of shots in the end zone and get

1215
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: Riley Patterson out there. No, they wait for the clock

1216
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 2: to get down to two seconds. And then they spike

1217
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 2: the ball and Riley Patterson comes out. They kick a

1218
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 2: field goal to go into the half. Weird look for

1219
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 2: Mike mack on the sideline after that decision. I'm not

1220
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 2: sure anybody knew what was going on, but they go

1221
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 2: in up sixteen to nothing.

1222
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 5: But because of that.

1223
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 2: Weirdness, it allows a weird second half where Tyler Shark,

1224
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 2: trailing sixteen to nothing, gets going. He's nineteen to twenty

1225
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: six through the air for one hundred and ninety six

1226
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 2: yards and two touchdowns in the second half, including a

1227
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 2: seventeen yarder to Chris o'lave. Where Tua went five of

1228
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 2: nine for seventy eight yards in the second half. They

1229
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 2: only got a field goal later on, Shuck gets a

1230
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 2: score to Devon Valat and we're cooking.

1231
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 5: We're inside of a minute.

1232
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 6: The melee, I don't know.

1233
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 5: I will go both just in.

1234
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 2: Case to cover my bases, and so that's what sets

1235
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 2: up the two point conversion to tie the game and

1236
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 2: make a Fitzpatrick hops in front of that.

1237
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 5: The Charlie Smyth on.

1238
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: Side kickers were covered by Valley or Vley, but it

1239
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 2: wasn't ten yards, and that ultimately does it in a fun,

1240
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 2: great game between the Saints and the Dolphins.

1241
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean it was a dime to Valayn Bailey, I

1242
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: always said, Valley, who hasn't been seen at all but

1243
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: barely used until they finally traded Brandon cooks and maybe

1244
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: that was a situation late in the first of I

1245
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: don't know that they just were like, well, we're creaming

1246
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: the Yeah.

1247
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 2: I think it was Tuus thought, despite the consternation on

1248
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 2: Mike Max face, was all.

1249
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 5: Right, we get a field goal, we get out. This

1250
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 5: team's hard, we're gonna We're gonna win.

1251
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: And it ended up not being that simple for the

1252
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, like like a lot of this season.

1253
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 6: But they got the win.

1254
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's an important one. Like I think we

1255
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, we were excited about the

1256
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 3: potential for messy fun from this Dolphins team. This game

1257
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 3: in no way seems indicative.

1258
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: They've won all their games, they've done their part. The

1259
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 1: rest of the AFC hasn't you know, cooperated, because I

1260
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: was like, okay, there could I remember, you know, four

1261
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago, you were saying there could be a situation

1262
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: where they're six and seven going up against the Steelers

1263
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: in that following week and out there they're one game

1264
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: away from that next week they have the Jets, which

1265
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: is not an easy game. The Jets are playing better

1266
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: right now, it's it's in the meadowlands, but it's still

1267
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: a three win team, but ultimately they haven't caught up

1268
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: any ground. The seven and five Houston Texans aren't in

1269
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs right now. In the AFC, eight and four

1270
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: is what you need, and I think you're gonna need

1271
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: a minimum of ten wins. You're probably gonna need eleven

1272
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: wins to get into the AFC playoffs, and there's a

1273
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: chance an eleven win team won't make the AFC playoffs.

1274
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: So in terms of like postseason, not that we were

1275
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: really considering the Dolphins. No, it's not happening. Give me

1276
01:01:58,680 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: your Tyler Shuck report.

1277
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:07,479
Speaker 2: First half, Tyler Shuck awful. Second half Tyler Shuck great. Okay, true,

1278
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 2: it wasn't It wasn't just the numbers. It was extending

1279
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 2: plays when the pocket broke down in the first half.

1280
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what you know Coach Moore did at halftime,

1281
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 2: and it could be a lot of the Dolphins having

1282
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 2: the attitude that they did going into the break. You

1283
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 2: know this game is over, but it was not over

1284
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 2: because Tyler Shuck making plays looking athletic when he gets

1285
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: outside of the pocket as well.

1286
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I and no Taysom Hill, which.

1287
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 3: I was going to say, city potentially in the locker

1288
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 3: room threatened him with more Taysom Hill because I'm not

1289
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 3: seeing a lot of Taysom hills.

1290
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 6: He touches progress.

1291
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 3: That's progress, right, and then thank you Tyler Shuck for

1292
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 3: saving us all from that.

1293
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Yes, And I was I was looking at some tweets

1294
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: from the Dolphins faithful who almost maybe think this is

1295
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: like the perfect way to win because Tua playing this poorly.

1296
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Dolphins fans are ready for

1297
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: a new generation at quarterback, a new era, and these

1298
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: type of performances won't help to us cause Devon Han,

1299
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: though outside runs by Devon Hhan continue to be like

1300
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: the best play in the NFL, one hundred and thirty

1301
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: four yards on the ground.

1302
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 6: He was awesome.

1303
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to the other team at the bottom of

1304
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: the AFC East, Let's go to the meadowlands. Well, here

1305
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: comes Nick Folk. Five seconds to go.

1306
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 18: It's gonna be a fifty six yard field goal attempt

1307
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 18: from the right hash in rainy conditions here at Medlife

1308
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 18: Stadium to try and win it. There's the snap, the

1309
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 18: kick is on the way, it's a linetronic towards the uprights,

1310
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 18: and as god.

1311
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: Nick Folk puts it through. No time on the clock, off.

1312
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 18: Fifty six yard game winning field call and the Jets

1313
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 18: mop the folk hero at midfield.

1314
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: They've won it, twenty seven to twenty four. Awesome call

1315
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: by Bob was Susan w AXQ Maybe put that on

1316
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: the calls of the year. I just like the energy.

1317
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: I like that two iron that full broke out there.

1318
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Twenty seven to twenty four. The Jets have done us

1319
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: all a favor. We can take the Falcons off the

1320
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: end the hunt graphic after what's happened tonight in the

1321
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: NFC South and this was the most Falcons way to

1322
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: lose a game possible. They fumbled the punt that was

1323
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: inside the five yard line that directly led to seven yards.

1324
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: They gave up a long kick return that set up

1325
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: three points from the Jets. They let Tyrod run all

1326
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: over them in the biggest of spots. Tyrod, you know,

1327
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: rushes for a touchdown and also has a key run

1328
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,439
Speaker 1: to set up the game winning field goal. And more

1329
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: than anything, they had the ball Jordan with fifty three

1330
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: seconds to go in the game. They received the ball

1331
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: from the Jets, who had just failed to go on

1332
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: what would have been like a game winning field goal

1333
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 1: type of drive, They get the ball three seconds left

1334
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: in the game at their own thirty three. Not bad,

1335
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: and they managed to lose that game in regulation. That's

1336
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: that's that's hard to do. And you came into this

1337
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: game saying, man, this would be a loss that will

1338
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: be felt in that building, and it did feel like

1339
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: a game that like you can look directly at the

1340
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: coaching how they handled that situation and some of the

1341
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: other details just not being correct in this game, and

1342
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: you worry for what's going to happen.

1343
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 3: Well all season, all season, the details have not been correct.

1344
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, as much as I admire and

1345
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 3: appreciate Raheem Morris as a person and as a coach,

1346
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 3: this is not he has an experienced coach. This is

1347
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 3: not a team that's on its details. This is not

1348
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 3: a team that is functioning like it knows what it's

1349
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 3: doing week to week with regularity and consistency. It's not

1350
01:05:54,000 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 3: a team that is existing in a competitive space. And that,

1351
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 3: first of all, I know that's got to eat at

1352
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 3: Rahee Morris and many members of that coaching staff, Jeff

1353
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 3: oulbrit But it hasn't it hasn't been good enough, and

1354
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 3: it's it is these little it's some sometimes it's miskicks.

1355
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's situational management. Sometimes often it is the offense

1356
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 3: failing to do enough from drive to drive or give

1357
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 3: enough of a change up from drive to drive. The

1358
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 3: defense we have been so optimistic about for for a

1359
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 3: lot of the season, but you in this league, it

1360
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 3: is very hard to hang your hat on a still

1361
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 3: developing defense. And so altogether it's it's formed this sort

1362
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 3: of cacophony around this building that I do not think

1363
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 3: and for Terry Fonteau as well, I do not think

1364
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 3: that it is.

1365
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 6: Good scene in Patrick's guy.

1366
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 2: It is my guy, And we see it in terms

1367
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 2: of this team collectively having a bunch of failures, but

1368
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 2: the individual parts having great moments where yeah, you see

1369
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 2: a good point, you see the talent on the field.

1370
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 2: You see John Robinson have six point two yards per carry.

1371
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 6: He had one hundred and ninety three yards today.

1372
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:06,439
Speaker 5: I believe.

1373
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 3: To lose off of that. That's like what we were

1374
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 3: just talking about, what prime Christian McCaffrey seasons just going

1375
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 3: to waste.

1376
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 2: Like that, Like you're getting the contributions from Walker and

1377
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 2: from Pierce, like the individual parts, like in different moments

1378
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 2: are working for the Falcons collectively as a unit, they

1379
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 2: are having these failures where even Kirk Cousins was having

1380
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 2: successful spots in this game. Kyle Pits had a solid game,

1381
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 2: but when they needed to, when they needed to move

1382
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 2: the ball, especially late, you get nothing.

1383
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 5: You get your Tyler Alsieer power.

1384
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 2: Runs in the inside successful, bijon to the outside successful.

1385
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: And then I mean you have David Sills making two

1386
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: defenders miss with like eleven yards to go and scoring

1387
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown. At that point, I'm thinking they were going

1388
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: to win this game. That's when they give up the

1389
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: kick return. Darnell Mooney has killed them this year. Dropped

1390
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: a couple more passes. It didn't come up with tough

1391
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: ones in this game. And I do want to give

1392
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn and the Jets a lot of credit because

1393
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: what he's been preaching about kind of turning this ship

1394
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: around slowly. They have been a better team over the

1395
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: last two months. They've they've been creditable as an editor team,

1396
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 1: and they took advantage of the Falcons mistakes and they

1397
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: made their own luck.

1398
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 6: And Tyrod is an upgrade.

1399
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: As long as he stays healthy, the offense makes more

1400
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: sense with him he's getting rid of the ball quickly,

1401
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, he had his first rushing touchdown since twenty

1402
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,600
Speaker 1: twenty one in this game. And then it was a

1403
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: scramble by Tad who people don't remember. It was like

1404
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: a fallow era for quarterbacks that ran well for about

1405
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: a year and a half. I remember having this this point.

1406
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: He was the best running quarterback in the entire NFL

1407
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: and despite his age, he still got a lot of

1408
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: juice in his legs. And they were picking on James Pears.

1409
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: He had a bad game today because they they were

1410
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: running right at him. And then they also he couldn't

1411
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: take to Rod down when he had absolutely no one

1412
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: blocking him. On another play where Trod just got rid

1413
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: of the ball and shout out to Adie Mitchell eight

1414
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 1: for one o two getting it done. He was not

1415
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: just some throw and he is by far the most

1416
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 1: talented receiver on this team. He also drew a long

1417
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: pass interference like he is a real deal dude and

1418
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: helped make up for look. The game might have not

1419
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: been as close if John Metchi hadn't dropped a couple

1420
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:22,440
Speaker 1: of key passes.

1421
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:24,640
Speaker 3: And late when it counted, two things showed up, and

1422
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 3: that was Torod Taylor and his fourteen yard run and

1423
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 3: then his ten yard and then his five yard throws

1424
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 3: to both to Ady Mitchell that helped get Nick Folk

1425
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 3: in position to make that game winning kick.

1426
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mitchell made all sorts of like good routes getting open.

1427
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: He had like one drop, but he also made some

1428
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: tough catches and I love seeing them use him. I

1429
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: love seeing you guys. Every Sunday, we're gonna take a

1430
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 1: quick break. We're gonna say goodbye to Nick. I mean

1431
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: to uh Patrick and Jordan, and we're gonna say hello

1432
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: to Nick on the other side. Any final words on

1433
01:09:58,960 --> 01:09:59,959
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Week.

1434
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,919
Speaker 5: Happy Thanksgiving? Everybody, go football, Go football.

1435
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: I he's love putting you in a tough spot there

1436
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 1: for you know, great spot to be balls at the

1437
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: two and a half.

1438
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 19: Purdy's in the shotgun with Diccaffrey to his left, Jennings

1439
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 19: right or Jennings left rather Pierce Soul right shotgunsnap for

1440
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 19: Purty fakes the game.

1441
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: He runs left, he's got a nose for.

1442
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 19: The goal line, and he's in for a forty nine

1443
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 19: ers touchdown right up to the next celebration for the

1444
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 19: quarterback Brock party. The toe looks just fine on a

1445
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 19: Jui yard camper.

1446
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't just any celebration. It was like Brock Purty doing

1447
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: the dougie and doing it well. Twenty six to eight

1448
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers win in Cleveland. That was Jack

1449
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: Smith on w nb R got Nick Schook here. Watched

1450
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: a lot of Browns games over the years, and we

1451
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: will get to the sitter sand of it all and

1452
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: the Browns of it all. Obviously the forty nine Ers

1453
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: the more relevant team in this game. Nine and four.

1454
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: I love seeing records like that. They're one of the teams,

1455
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: by the way, like the Panthers who have not had

1456
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: their buy yet, so they finally get a week off

1457
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: next week. Nine wins already in the bank. Did Purty

1458
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: and the offense, let's start there, look better this week?

1459
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 6: Especially throwing the ball?

1460
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean the bar was low last week, right

1461
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 20: with the three interceptions that he threw in three consecutive drives.

1462
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 20: So yes, he looked better. But he looked better beyond

1463
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 20: just you know, protecting the football. He made some key

1464
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 20: throws in this game in pivotal spots that extended Niners

1465
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 20: drives and allowed them to put.

1466
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 21: The Browns away.

1467
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 20: Now you saw that that highlight there the read option,

1468
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 20: which I had the same thought that the broadcaster had,

1469
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 20: which is that the toe looks just fine, because he

1470
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 20: looked very agile there, that player right there. They're only

1471
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:48,600
Speaker 20: up ten to eight. It's late third quarter. It's a

1472
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 20: very close game. But Party was able to get them

1473
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 20: down there by converting third downs, by moving within the

1474
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 20: pocket and finding guys going to second and third reads

1475
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 20: in his progression and not just you know, doing what

1476
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 20: he did against Carolina. The ball looked better coming out

1477
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 20: of his hand, which is the most important thing to me.

1478
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 20: And also he did it on a day with it

1479
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 20: was very windy. This game was in Cleveland, you know

1480
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 20: where I live. I woke up this morning and heard

1481
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 20: the wind from inside my house and I'm like, it's

1482
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 20: going to be rough for him, And it was not

1483
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 20: rough for him. He did a really good job throwing

1484
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 20: the ball, didn't have to lean too much on Christian McCaffrey.

1485
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 20: And a nice solid total team victory for the Niners

1486
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 20: at this point in the season.

1487
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they I really think Kyle Shanahan's a strong candidate

1488
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 1: for Coach of the Year. It's amazing this team is

1489
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: nine to four and you know, part of it is

1490
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: the NFC West schedule out of the division has helped

1491
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: them ultimately in a down year for the AFC North,

1492
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: a lot of which didn't have Joe Burrow, and they've

1493
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: taken advantage of that. But like, they are impressive, and

1494
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how they looked down the stretch.

1495
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: And this was a great test having to play that

1496
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: Brown's defense. How did Shader look by the way, because

1497
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: this is a game I did not get a lot

1498
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 1: of eyes on during when it was happening, but obviously

1499
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:58,520
Speaker 1: not a lot of production.

1500
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 20: Of progress, you know, nothing super flashy made a few

1501
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 20: nice throws. Statistically, he had a passer rating of ninety

1502
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 20: three point six, which you know, anybody who just wants

1503
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 20: to run the stats real quick will be like, oh,

1504
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 20: that's a good passer rating. This offense is just again,

1505
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 20: it has such a low ceiling. And when they get

1506
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 20: in the third down, you know, Robert Solid was not

1507
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 20: afraid to send the blitz and he found himself crubling

1508
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 20: beneath that. He did hold onto the ball really long,

1509
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 20: like three point three six seconds average time to throw,

1510
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 20: which is not ideal. And the San Francisco did rack

1511
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 20: up more pressures as a result of that, because they

1512
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 20: had more time to get after him. And we know

1513
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 20: their pass rush is essentially non existent. It was not

1514
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 20: today Cleveland Ferrell with two sacks. We had a key

1515
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 20: On White with the sack as well, so you know

1516
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 20: he's operating within the offense.

1517
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: It's really crazy that like Cleveland Farrell and Keon White

1518
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 1: are the guys that are getting it done.

1519
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 6: Although Keon whe I once thought had has has some

1520
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 6: real talent.

1521
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 20: I guess yeah, absolutely, And look we admitted this last

1522
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 20: week when they when they played Carolina, Like their pass

1523
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 20: rush has been not been consistent, and it was a

1524
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 20: little bit better to day, but it helps in the

1525
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:56,639
Speaker 20: quarterback hangs under the ball.

1526
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 21: So like just minor improvement, shr fort your door.

1527
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 20: Like he left for a play, came back because he

1528
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 20: got hurt and just got a little dinged up, came

1529
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 20: back in the game. Just just small baby steps forward.

1530
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 20: The Browns are who they are at this point.

1531
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: Uh So, there was an injury in this game, Malik

1532
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: Collins and he leaves does not come back. You know,

1533
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: it always sucks to see an injury, but especially a

1534
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,759
Speaker 1: guy who's been playing so well and is in a

1535
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 1: free agent year. Shelby Harris, his teammate, talked after the

1536
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: game about an exchange that he had with Juwan Jennings.

1537
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 22: He's a and I want that known, Like, I see

1538
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 22: why he got punched in the nuts, because that's like

1539
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 22: he says some things that you should not say to

1540
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 22: another man ever, But like, I don't respect it because

1541
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 22: you say that I didn't run behind your old line.

1542
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 22: That's some real soft and I want that know. I

1543
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 22: see exactly why they pushed the nuts. I'm surprised nobody

1544
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 22: punched them in the jaw yet.

1545
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 21: Hmmm, spit the fire.

1546
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: Give us some context on that suck.

1547
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 20: I mean, it looked like some Milie Collins gets, you know,

1548
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 20: put on the and there's obviously players around, and there's

1549
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 20: a clip of Juwan seemingly saying something to Malik and

1550
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 20: to the Browns in general, and that's obviously not when

1551
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 20: you talk trash to a guy when he's hurt and

1552
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 20: he's you know, that's a callback for Juwan for when

1553
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,600
Speaker 20: he got hit the groin area in previous weeks, you know,

1554
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 20: by by angry teammate or angry opponents at the end

1555
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 20: of the game. So obviously he's like he falls in

1556
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 20: the category of what Jalen Ramsey and some other players

1557
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 20: that really like to talk trash. But it sounds like

1558
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 20: he crossed the line. Other than that, we don't really

1559
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 20: know the details as.

1560
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 21: Far as I know.

1561
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: Okay, and yeah, that was courtesy of Cameron Justice of

1562
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 1: w E w S. Thank you for the sound. That

1563
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: was some of the best sound of the year. You

1564
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: know who else has good sound, Andrew Siciliano. So we're

1565
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: watching Miles Garrett each and every week. Can he get

1566
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: this sack record? He did add to the total with

1567
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 1: one of my favorite sacks of the year.

1568
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 23: Let's listen Miles Garrett sitting on eighteen sacks of lining

1569
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 23: up cross from the future Hall of Famer, fellow future

1570
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 23: Hall of Famer Trent Williams Kurd and four from the

1571
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 23: forty one gun.

1572
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 18: Hey got him sack, right team for the best defensive

1573
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 18: player in football and it's fourth down.

1574
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: Put that on the Call of the Year list. I

1575
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 1: had no idea. Ceciliano calls his shot, and it's probably

1576
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: because there's so few third and long situations. That's not

1577
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: even third and long, it's third and four and he

1578
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: does the teleport move. I don't know if we have

1579
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: a name for that, the eurostep, and Trent Williams doesn't

1580
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:31,720
Speaker 1: put a finger on him.

1581
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 6: Pretty sweet to watch Nick.

1582
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, this is a player that came out

1583
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 20: of the draft and was considered a generational talent and

1584
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 20: he's done nothing to prove that over the course of

1585
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 20: his career.

1586
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 21: He's an athletic freak. We've seen him dunking basketballs.

1587
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 20: We've seen what he does when he works out with

1588
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 20: Lebron and what he does in the football field. But

1589
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 20: it's plays like that where you just smoke a future

1590
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 20: Hall of Fame left tackle that just shows how special

1591
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 20: you really are.

1592
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 1: That literally you move in a way that I don't

1593
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 1: think anyone in the history of the NFL has moved.

1594
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 1: There's never been a guy that big, that can move

1595
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,520
Speaker 1: laterally that fast and on the inside. What an incredible

1596
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: sack there, And yeah, he's he's what three and a

1597
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: half away.

1598
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 6: We'll be uh, we'll be tracking this in the coming weeks.

1599
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: That's probably the most important thing about these Browns games,

1600
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 1: although Shoulder Sanders development will be interesting to track too.

1601
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 1: Much More important or what happens to the Los Angeles

1602
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 1: Chargers moving forward. They had the Raiders coming into town

1603
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: after that, Chip Kelly firing man.

1604
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 21: There's the pitch to Bydell. He's got to get to

1605
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 21: the corner, and.

1606
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,799
Speaker 12: He does there he goes in a plus territory Byell

1607
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 12: on his horse thirty twenty ten, Key Money Bodel touchdown

1608
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 12: Chargers fifty nine yards and the energy is back in

1609
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 12: the building.

1610
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,640
Speaker 1: The energy, it's always there with Matt money Smith on

1611
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 1: k f I kimani Ydell maybe his last game as

1612
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 1: the true starter for the Chargers, although he has earned

1613
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: a role. When Omari and Hampton comes back off ir

1614
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: Hampton wasn't quite ready for this one. Vidal finishes with

1615
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six yards and a touchdown. They

1616
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 1: tack on a Jared Patterson touchdown late, kind of a

1617
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,640
Speaker 1: what's your deal touchdown by Jim Harbaugh, like rubbing it

1618
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:20,560
Speaker 1: in thirty.

1619
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:21,640
Speaker 6: One to fourteen.

1620
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: We'll get to that, but ultimately the postgame news is

1621
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: the biggest news here. It shook justin Herbert fractured his

1622
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: left hand. He missed a few snaps of this game.

1623
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: Trey Lance through one pass, but then Herbert finished the

1624
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: game out. It's his left hand. He is gonna get

1625
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: it surgically repaired. He believes he can play next Monday night.

1626
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh wasn't making any promises about that. They'll see

1627
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 1: how soon they can get him back. What did it

1628
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: look like actually him playing with that broken hand.

1629
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 21: It looked a little ginger, but not that much.

1630
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 5: Okay.

1631
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 20: You know, he has a rollout on a play along

1632
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 20: the goal line in the second half where he he

1633
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 20: you know, rolls to the left, it's right, it's like

1634
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 20: within like the ten yard line and he fires the

1635
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 20: bull with Lad McConkey, and they were talking about the

1636
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 20: hand injury on the broadcast. He had a glove on it,

1637
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 20: and he's always got that you know, the coach wrist

1638
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 20: band right with it, and it's always flapping around. He

1639
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 20: never secures the thing when he's looking at it for

1640
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 20: his place, so when he's running, it's just flapping around.

1641
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 20: I'm looking at that hand, thinking like he's acting as

1642
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 20: if that's really not hurt at all, didn't bother him at all.

1643
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 20: So maybe it's a little bit of the adrenaline. Maybe

1644
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 20: it'll hurt more tomorrow. Probably will. But when you think

1645
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 20: about hand injuries, hand fractures, that sort of thing, I

1646
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 20: was thinking about the fenders who then get a club, right,

1647
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 20: you can't have a club as a quarterback.

1648
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 21: So it's going to be really interesting to see.

1649
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: Well, Aaron Rodgers kind of did today. I don't know

1650
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: what was going on with Aaron Rodgers, like on his

1651
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 1: left arm. It looked insane. Well, you know when it's

1652
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna hurt more. I guess it won't because they'll be

1653
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: knocked out when they're surgically repairing it.

1654
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,680
Speaker 20: I mean this, I don't know when they do put

1655
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 20: pins in it or something like that. That's got to

1656
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 20: be dangerous. I can't imagine that you just be able

1657
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,640
Speaker 20: to go out there and play on Monday night eight

1658
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 20: days after your most recent game.

1659
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 21: That's crazy.

1660
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 1: Well, he better because I'm to go to that game.

1661
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,719
Speaker 1: Walker was going to bring my son. I was gonna

1662
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: come over afterwards and do the show here with you.

1663
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll be able to do YouTube that night.

1664
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm breaking some news here. But you know, when you

1665
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: got Herbert versus a broken Eagles team like this is

1666
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 1: a it's a spicy Monday night game. We got to

1667
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 1: see it in person. Let's talk about this game like

1668
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: their running game. And I know they're playing the Raiders.

1669
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: It's hard to evaluate, like how a team looks, but

1670
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: this was the Chargers coming off thereby coming off a

1671
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: bad defensive performance, kind of giving me your just take

1672
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: of how the Chargers looked overall in a game they

1673
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: obviously just couldn't afford to lose. They get to eight

1674
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: and four and where they are, you know, kind of

1675
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: in this AFC playoff picture.

1676
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 20: Well, the battle of the two teams that could have

1677
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 20: been roommates in Carson, California years ago, the failed move plan.

1678
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: They wanted it, they wanted it, did they.

1679
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 20: Did they want and they just took the same design

1680
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 20: and plopped it in Vegas and put a roof on

1681
01:20:58,200 --> 01:20:59,520
Speaker 20: it and called the Legion Stadium.

1682
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 21: Anyway, I digress the battle between these two teams.

1683
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 20: There's no better time to play the Raiders than when

1684
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 20: you need to get right game, and that's what the

1685
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 20: Chargers enjoyed today. I think the thing that mattered to

1686
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 20: me the Moster was most prevalent in this game was

1687
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 20: just the superiority in the trenches, which is saying something

1688
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 20: because we know how bad the Chargers' offensive line has

1689
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 20: been without Joel Alt and Rashawn Slater.

1690
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 21: That's how you rush for one hundred and ninety two

1691
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 21: yards as a team.

1692
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 20: That's how Kimani Videal goes for one to twenty six

1693
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 20: and rips off a fifty nine yard and how Jarrett Patterson,

1694
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 20: former undrafted free agent out of Buffalo bounced around the

1695
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 20: league a little bit. He gets in there and gets

1696
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 20: a touchdown and he also has a long of twenty two.

1697
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 20: They were kind of gashing the Raiders on the ground,

1698
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 20: which is not something the Chargers have done in a while,

1699
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 20: at least consistently enough, and it took the load off.

1700
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:37,759
Speaker 21: Of Justin Herbert.

1701
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 20: He only had to throw twenty passes, he completed fifteen

1702
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 20: of them. Sure, he was under fire on third and

1703
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 20: long situations early in this game, but it wasn't a

1704
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 20: consistent theme in this game like it was against the Jaguars,

1705
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 20: because they were able to control the game on the ground.

1706
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 20: So that's a big win for them, But I take

1707
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 20: it with a grain assault because they were playing the Raiders. Yes,

1708
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 20: other than Max Crosby, that front does nothing to stop anybody,

1709
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,759
Speaker 20: and the Raiders lose the trench battle on both sides

1710
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 20: of the ball. So this entire game, while it looks

1711
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 20: good on paper and you're happy to have the win.

1712
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 21: I'm like, hey, you were playing the Raiders. Let's see

1713
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 21: next week.

1714
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 1: The Raiders are one of the worst two team wins

1715
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Like, they've won two games, but they're

1716
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 1: just brutal. They fire Chip Kelly and yet Ashton genty

1717
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,799
Speaker 1: goes fifteen for thirty one gas.

1718
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 20: So bad to watch, Greg, It's so bad to watch

1719
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 20: when they hand him the ball, He's constantly hit two

1720
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 20: to three yards behind the line.

1721
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 21: Screams. I feel so bad for him.

1722
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 1: Gino Smith takes at least four sacks, and the stat

1723
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 1: that Josh Debao of the Associated Press had which I

1724
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,600
Speaker 1: found interesting, was they've had four straight games where they

1725
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: took at least four sacks and they rushed for under

1726
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: seventy five yards. They are only the second team in

1727
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: NFL history to have that level of futility, which to me,

1728
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: those are offensive line stats. They're offense stats, but they're

1729
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 1: offensive line stats where Pete Carroll Sun is running the team.

1730
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: The other team was the twenty sixteen Cleveland Browns. I'm

1731
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: gonna put you on the spot, Nick Shook. What quarterbacks

1732
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 1: started the most game games for the twenty sixteen Cleveland Browns. Now,

1733
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: there were three starters that year that started at least

1734
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 1: three games, but I'll only accept the guy who started

1735
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: the most.

1736
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,679
Speaker 6: That's a tough one.

1737
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 20: You said you said there was three, there was three

1738
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 20: that started at least is that three game?

1739
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 21: Codys got it? Bang, let's go, they got it.

1740
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I went to go look. I

1741
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: was like, what was that twenty sixteen team? I have

1742
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 1: memory hold Cody Kessler starting nine games for the Cleveland

1743
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: Buds RG three got five starts that year. And Josh

1744
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: McCown also. Yeah, unfortunately that's the company that Gino Smith

1745
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 1: and this team is keeping. We're gonna move on from this,

1746
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 1: but we do got to give Brock power Bower some love.

1747
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: I really ask everyone to watch on YouTube. You can

1748
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 1: see the great videos that we show, and you know

1749
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: we have this video here and we're not gonna do

1750
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: the call of it. You can just watch it that

1751
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: one night to catch just like this. This guy is

1752
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 1: such a freak. He goes fourth for sixty three, but

1753
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: like every catch he makes is better than the last.

1754
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 6: Just give me some Brock Bowers love before we get

1755
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 6: out of here.

1756
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 20: So one of those rare moments, we're having a dark

1757
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 20: colored paint in your end zone kind of betrays the

1758
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 20: eyes initially because that ball knows dives right out of

1759
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 20: Gino's hand, and I'm thinking, oh, well, that's short. There's

1760
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 20: no way he caught it. And then as he falls

1761
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:20,639
Speaker 20: to the ground and wraps it in with his left

1762
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,639
Speaker 20: arm fully extended and the ball disappears, I think, oh

1763
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 20: my god, did he catch that?

1764
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:26,640
Speaker 21: Sure enough, he caught it.

1765
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 20: He defied the laws of physics and gravity and just

1766
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 20: proved why he's the best tight end in the NFL.

1767
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 21: Because he has rare skills like that.

1768
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, he had both of the Raiders' touchdowns.

1769
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 1: By the way, today, Gino somehow only had five incompletions

1770
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: and yet they absolutely got man handled. All right, that's

1771
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: it from the Chargers. But what about the leader in

1772
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: the AFC West. Let's go to Sunday Night Football and

1773
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos fourth and.

1774
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 24: Goal just inside the Denver four. Mariota's in the gun.

1775
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,679
Speaker 24: Here's the snap. Mariotas throws the Tarry.

1776
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 7: Guard touchdown, tuck down, lock again, a slant to Tarry

1777
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,799
Speaker 7: to keep walking to the opportunity to tie or come.

1778
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: For a win.

1779
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 5: Two point conversion Denver with the blitz on the way.

1780
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,759
Speaker 13: Bought the fucking by Nick Ponto by the Broncos Woodage,

1781
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 13: great play by Nick Bento.

1782
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 23: He came untouched, and the Broncos in overtime.

1783
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 5: Have beaten the Commanders twenty seven to twenty six.

1784
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Oh it's just that close. A rare double highlight where

1785
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 1: we got not only Ram Weinstein on Wbig with a

1786
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 1: heroic Marcus Moriota touchdown on fourth down in overtime, but also.

1787
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 6: Dave Logan on k O A.

1788
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 1: It comes down to one play, but as they've done

1789
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: all year, the Broncos get that one play. They've won

1790
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 1: nine straight games. The Commanders were ready for this game,

1791
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: and yet they've lost seven straight. Denver survives twenty seven

1792
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 1: to twenty six, Shookie. So much happened in the last

1793
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 1: five minutes of regulation and overtime of this game. It

1794
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 1: just goes to show this was a game I was

1795
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,799
Speaker 1: complaining about on this very show. Why didn't you flex

1796
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 1: this out of primetime? How can you leave the Broncos

1797
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: and the Commanders in primetime?

1798
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 6: I say, more Mario Ta.

1799
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: All throughout the next month we just needed that game

1800
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:34,640
Speaker 1: was absolutely incredible.

1801
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:35,879
Speaker 6: Start wherever you want.

1802
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 5: More Mario Ta.

1803
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 21: Since the Internet was obsessed with that throughout this game.

1804
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 20: Right, This was a game that I think I tweeted this,

1805
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:48,719
Speaker 20: This is a game that had big.

1806
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 21: Tie energy, but was not going to end it in tie.

1807
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 20: It just felt like there were multiple opportunities for the

1808
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 20: Broncos to put this game away in the fourth quarter,

1809
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:56,960
Speaker 20: and yet they didn't, and the Commanders just kept finding

1810
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 20: ways to hang around, and it felt like they couldn't

1811
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 20: get over the humpy there, and then they finally did

1812
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 20: in the most try. I mean, let's all right, well,

1813
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 20: this is where we'll start final minute of regulation when

1814
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 20: the Commanders get the ball back and they're operating with

1815
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 20: one timeout, and Marcus Mariota pulls off in amazing feats

1816
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:16,799
Speaker 20: where he gets tripped, appears to get up without being touched,

1817
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 20: and then takes off to try to salvage something out

1818
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,600
Speaker 20: of a play. Then the Commanders get burned by officiating,

1819
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,759
Speaker 20: which tells them that no, in fact, he was touched

1820
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 20: down upon replay assist, and we also can't flag the

1821
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 20: Broncos for tripping him. So now suddenly they're facing what

1822
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 20: was it first in fifteen or whatever it might have been,

1823
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 20: And then after the sack, then it gets even worse

1824
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 20: because Terry McLaurin gets nailed with the worst false start

1825
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 20: penalty I've ever seen. There was no false start. He

1826
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 20: was set for a second. I don't know why the

1827
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 20: refs are involved at that point in the game. And

1828
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:49,879
Speaker 20: yet five is where twenty five. Yes, he finds McLaurin

1829
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 20: to cut it to what fourth and five, fourth and six?

1830
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 20: They get that played that, they get the job done,

1831
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 20: They get the first down the next play. Then he

1832
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 20: gets down there again. He scrambles with less than twenty

1833
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 20: seconds left and no timeouts and manages with the final lunch.

1834
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:01,799
Speaker 21: He got to bounds to stop.

1835
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 20: The clock and all that sets up a Jake Moody

1836
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 20: game tye field goal to send us to overtime. From there,

1837
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 20: I felt like anything could happen, anything was possible.

1838
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 6: And anything did happen in this game.

1839
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 1: It was the anti bow Knicks game because the first

1840
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:19,759
Speaker 1: three quarters he was good.

1841
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 5: There were a.

1842
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 1: Few you know, misses in there, but he also had

1843
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 1: a great diving touchdown to Courtland Sutton. He pretty much

1844
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: made good decisions. It was just a good game. And

1845
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: I know the Commanders defense hasn't played well in general.

1846
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 6: They didn't even play that well tonight.

1847
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 1: But what they did was keep the ball in front

1848
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 1: of them, make the Broncos go on these long drives.

1849
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 6: The running game for the Broncos not great.

1850
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 1: And yet the fourth quarter starts and that's usually bo

1851
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 1: nixt time, and the magic all goes away. He just

1852
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:52,640
Speaker 1: stares down a receiver on a Bobby Wagner interception, he

1853
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 1: runs into a sack and that sets up this late

1854
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:58,600
Speaker 1: sequence that you're talking about. Let's now take it to overtime.

1855
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 1: So the Broncos go right down the field. Evan Ingram

1856
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:05,599
Speaker 1: makes Bobby Wagner look very old on a catch and run.

1857
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Good play call, good execution, and they score in five

1858
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:13,719
Speaker 1: plays in overtime. And then it gets really crazy because

1859
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 1: in overtime, just just in the little final sequence, let's

1860
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: think about what happened. There was a fourth and six

1861
01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: where it looks like Mariota is gonna go down and

1862
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: instead he gets out of it and they end up

1863
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 1: calling a penalty on the Broncos. There was an interception

1864
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 1: on the play that looked like it was gonna end

1865
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 1: the game, was gonna be our highlight. Instead it's a

1866
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,600
Speaker 1: passive interference on the Broncos.

1867
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 6: Keeps it going.

1868
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:44,599
Speaker 1: Then he throws a touchdown to Terry McLaurin, but it's

1869
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,720
Speaker 1: wiped away by penalty penalty of Josh Connery. Then he

1870
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:51,599
Speaker 1: throws what looks like, you know, a touchdown to Zach Ertz,

1871
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 1: but he drops it, and that sets up the two

1872
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: play sequence. We get there, and your heart just breaks

1873
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:59,599
Speaker 1: for him because they had the right play call and

1874
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: Nick but you know, makes a great volleyball spike of

1875
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 1: that ball on the two point conversion.

1876
01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 6: But if Mariota wanted to, he could have just thrown

1877
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 6: that ball.

1878
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:11,600
Speaker 1: Easy for us to say, after all the plays that

1879
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 1: they had eighty five plays on offense for the Commanders,

1880
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 1: and he just throws a normal pass, and Benito, who

1881
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 1: has been just stepping up big time moment after big

1882
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 1: time moment tonight, on a night where their defense didn't

1883
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:25,639
Speaker 1: play great, he makes the play to win the game

1884
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:26,720
Speaker 1: and get them to ten and two.

1885
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:29,839
Speaker 20: Didn't play great, but played really well in the biggest

1886
01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:32,559
Speaker 20: moments for the most part. Now, you could say, in

1887
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:34,920
Speaker 20: that sequence that you just described, was the Josh Connelly

1888
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:38,080
Speaker 20: hold really a hold? Maybe probably not. The edge rusher

1889
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 20: was already kind of falling down. But did Terry McLaurin

1890
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:41,600
Speaker 20: get free on a bit of a pick play for

1891
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 20: that fourth down touchdown? Yeah, And was I worried that

1892
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 20: they were gonna throw a flag there too, Yeah, and

1893
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 20: it didn't. And I think that this sequence kind of

1894
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 20: just described if you asked the Commanders fan, how do

1895
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 20: you feel about the twenty twenty five season, and they'd say,

1896
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:55,439
Speaker 20: did you see how that game ended? How we just

1897
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 20: went to overtime and we scored. We thought we scored

1898
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 20: about three times, and then we finally did score, and

1899
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:02,640
Speaker 20: then we had our wide open two point conversion to

1900
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:04,600
Speaker 20: win the game swatted away by Nick Benito, one of

1901
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 20: the most underrated players who's just had a hell of

1902
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 20: an eighteen months in the NFL.

1903
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:10,679
Speaker 21: Yeah, that's our season.

1904
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 1: At least they were competitive. I mean, the defense looked

1905
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 1: normal tonight. It wasn't great. Still, gave up over four.

1906
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:20,200
Speaker 20: Praise on the broadcast, by the way, Yeah too much praise.

1907
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, too much praise on a night where look, they

1908
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 1: gave up twenty seven points. So they did force three

1909
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 1: straight punts in the fourth quarter, and they got an

1910
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:32,360
Speaker 1: interception and forced three straight punts in the fourth quarter.

1911
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:35,120
Speaker 1: So they weren't great before that. In fact, they were terrible.

1912
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 1: They had given up two touchdowns and two field goals

1913
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: on only five drives. I mean, you can't do that

1914
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 1: much worse than that. But the fourth quarter they did

1915
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,600
Speaker 1: show up and it was a close game. And Mariota's

1916
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 1: played great this year. I know people haven't been watching

1917
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:52,600
Speaker 1: the Commanders and he always throws like you're giving me

1918
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 1: a look.

1919
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 21: Okay, so he has the job tonight. Great tonight, Great tonight.

1920
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 20: I think for a backup quarterback, yes, okay, well that's given.

1921
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:03,719
Speaker 20: That's a given. He's usually one of the best backup

1922
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:06,320
Speaker 20: quarterbacks in the NFL. But there have been some stinkers lately.

1923
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 20: That doesn't discount tonight. I'm just taking He wasn't.

1924
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 6: Great in Madrid, but he was pretty good.

1925
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 1: I would say overall, like the drop off from Jayden

1926
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 1: Daniels to Marcus Mariota is pretty low on the list

1927
01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 1: of reasons why the Commanders have stunk this year.

1928
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 6: That's all I'm saying.

1929
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 1: And I just wanted it for him to have that moment,

1930
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 1: because man, he's had a lot of losses in his

1931
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 1: grave and it.

1932
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 21: Broke my heart.

1933
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 20: They'll look on his did you see Yes, Yes, he

1934
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,000
Speaker 20: takes his helmet off and you see the saltan pepper

1935
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 20: hair and you're like, oh, Marcus, your best years are

1936
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 20: behind you, but you're still playing good football. I hate that.

1937
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 20: You just get your heart broken again. You're the Heisman

1938
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 20: Trophy winner, the number two overall picking the twenty fifteen draft.

1939
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 20: You're supposed to be the Titans guy. Maybe they forced

1940
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 20: you out a little too soon because he couldn't stay healthy.

1941
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 20: And now this when does the man enjoy success? He

1942
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 20: lost the National Championship game to Ohio State. Just get

1943
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 20: the guy some happiness for one.

1944
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:56,599
Speaker 1: Just give him a win. And it was the old

1945
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:58,840
Speaker 1: guy showing up for the Commanders. Zach Ertz goes ten

1946
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:01,719
Speaker 1: for one oh six. Terry mccluir makes a huge difference

1947
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:05,640
Speaker 1: on his first game, backs seven for ninety six. And

1948
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:09,719
Speaker 1: then the catch of the day, maybe even the catch

1949
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:12,599
Speaker 1: of the year, is made by trailing Burkes.

1950
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 24: They're five or six on third down? Can they make

1951
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 24: it six or seven? Mario to throwing a fade route?

1952
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:22,040
Speaker 13: Oh my gosh, catch give me a preak down?

1953
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 7: Was again real grounds, are you serious? Tray Burt? Pull

1954
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 7: these two heads and you can go up and make

1955
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 7: up one handed.

1956
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 22: Like that.

1957
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:37,839
Speaker 5: That was filthy.

1958
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:42,479
Speaker 3: That was the most disgusting thing Riley Moss, man, get

1959
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:43,559
Speaker 3: him a poster real quick.

1960
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:47,639
Speaker 24: This one is the Odell Beckham touch from years ago

1961
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:48,599
Speaker 24: against Dallas.

1962
01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:50,760
Speaker 1: Put that on the calls of the year. We've had

1963
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 1: a hell of a Sunday for calls and a hell

1964
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 1: of a Sunday for catches.

1965
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 5: Shook.

1966
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:57,759
Speaker 20: Yeah, I liked a lot of people made that combarrassing

1967
01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 20: because I think that's pretty accurate. I'm I can't say

1968
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 20: the degree of difficulty is maybe increase or less than

1969
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:05,600
Speaker 20: than the Odell catch because the oil catch is like

1970
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 20: way downfield. There was a lot of velocity on that ball.

1971
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 20: But Riley Moss has blanketed on him. He's draped all

1972
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 20: over him. That's an absurd catch. And what hit me

1973
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:15,760
Speaker 20: in that moment was, oh my god. And this is

1974
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 20: no shade at him. But we know the rough road

1975
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:19,360
Speaker 20: that Traylon Burks has traveled since he was drafted in

1976
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 20: the first round by the Titans. Finally he made a

1977
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,080
Speaker 20: play that justified his draft standing.

1978
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:25,600
Speaker 21: Was it with a new team, was it after he

1979
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:26,040
Speaker 21: got cut?

1980
01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:28,679
Speaker 20: Was it after he failed to effectively replace aj Brown,

1981
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 20: which was always unrealistic. Yes, but it's really nice to

1982
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 20: see guys have that moment in the sun in a big.

1983
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:34,680
Speaker 6: Spot like that.

1984
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:39,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, he quietly had three great catches in the last game.

1985
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 1: I believe that he played against Detroit and then got

1986
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 1: hurt in that game, and I thought, hmm, like that

1987
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 1: was a better game than I ever saw in Tennessee.

1988
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:48,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he's turning in the corner. Then he misses about

1989
01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 1: a month, comes back tonight, makes that catch. Unfortunately, there

1990
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 1: are a couple routes that he took tonight where he

1991
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 1: did not read the field the same as Mariota, and

1992
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 1: you thought, Okay, maybe that's that's why he didn't last

1993
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. But what a Sunday for catches. You got

1994
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: the brock Bauers one handed catch, you got the Puka

1995
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 1: one handed catch, and then this one I think was

1996
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 1: the best of them all. And I apologize if he's

1997
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 1: out there ever listening to Bram Weinstein, I should not

1998
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:16,600
Speaker 1: be talking over his his call. That's like, that's like

1999
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:20,560
Speaker 1: drawing on you know, a Michael Angelo painting. Just don't

2000
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:23,080
Speaker 1: touch it. And good job by London Fletcher and Logan

2001
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 1: Paulson jumping in there. That is on my calls of

2002
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:27,599
Speaker 1: the year. But take me out of it. Guys when

2003
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 1: you when we play that for the calls of the year.

2004
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 1: A couple last things. I mean, the Broncos don't I

2005
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 1: don't know what to think about this team, but I

2006
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:37,880
Speaker 1: did just want to give a shout out to Riley Moss.

2007
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:39,600
Speaker 1: That was not his fault and he actually made a

2008
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 1: number of good plays late in this game. And then

2009
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:46,120
Speaker 1: Alex Singleton, one of the most amazing stories of this season,

2010
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 1: who found out he had testicular cancer three weeks ago,

2011
01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 1: had surgery, back on the field for this game, now

2012
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 1: a team captain for this Broncos team and makes a

2013
01:35:57,520 --> 01:36:01,080
Speaker 1: huge breakup down the field late in regular Obviously that

2014
01:36:01,160 --> 01:36:03,920
Speaker 1: their defense didn't make enough plays late, but that was

2015
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: incredible and for him to be back out there, you

2016
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:07,639
Speaker 1: could see how much it meant.

2017
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 6: And I think for the.

2018
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 1: Broncos, like DOTAPO, you don't have to apologize for wins,

2019
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 1: but you also don't have to pretend that this team

2020
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 1: is looking any better than it is.

2021
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,120
Speaker 6: They're just somehow finding ways to win.

2022
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:21,280
Speaker 1: And the thing about getting to ten and two shook

2023
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 1: and like not playing that well, it's like you can

2024
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:25,960
Speaker 1: start to play better, Like I think that is on

2025
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 1: the table for them, just because they're a little lucky

2026
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:31,920
Speaker 1: to be ten and two. Does it mean that they're

2027
01:36:31,920 --> 01:36:33,839
Speaker 1: not gonna get better? And they're in a great position

2028
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 1: to get better. So we'll see, we'll see where their

2029
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 1: path goes. Because I think they're a little short on

2030
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 1: playmakers on offense, but we've seen the playmaking they av

2031
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 1: on defense.

2032
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:43,800
Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, and I agree, especially at running back,

2033
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 20: but I like the direction they're trending. In Bonix has

2034
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:48,720
Speaker 20: put together a few solid games. You know, it was

2035
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 20: the Inverse Bonix game, like you said today, with three

2036
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:52,960
Speaker 20: good quarters and not a good fourth quarter, But that's fine.

2037
01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 20: Ultimately for me, I think that they have enough difference

2038
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:57,280
Speaker 20: makers on both sides of the ball, and that's that's

2039
01:36:57,280 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 20: what most important to me, because that if you have

2040
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:01,720
Speaker 20: that nucleus, they come together late in the season, you

2041
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 20: want to peak late in the season. I feel like

2042
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 20: they're slowly climbing toward that. And defensively, they have a

2043
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 20: bunch of difference makers. You know, you get Pats or

2044
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 20: Tan back, you got Nick Benito, even you know Riley

2045
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 20: Moss playing here, and that Alex Singleton back, all these

2046
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 20: guys you just mentioned, Like, this is a good group

2047
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,320
Speaker 20: and this is a group that I would never want

2048
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 20: to try to run the ball against in short yard

2049
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,720
Speaker 20: situations like that, that gold to go situation in overtime

2050
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 20: where I was convinced that the Commanders were not going

2051
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:28,200
Speaker 20: to score because I knew they could not run the ball.

2052
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:31,480
Speaker 20: And that speaks to their stoutness upfront and the cohesion

2053
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 20: of their defense, because I think that's still their strength,

2054
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,240
Speaker 20: and they have again enough difference makers on both sides

2055
01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 20: of the ball that they can be I mean, you're

2056
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 20: ten and two. It's not by mistake, you know. It's

2057
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:41,640
Speaker 20: just that you haven't peaked yet, which is not the

2058
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:42,080
Speaker 20: worst thing.

2059
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 6: And you haven't.

2060
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: You just win all these games at the last second,

2061
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 1: and no matter who it's against. I just I just

2062
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:53,640
Speaker 1: think the ultimate the thing that matters is there are

2063
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 1: four games ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kids

2064
01:37:56,840 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 1: City Chiefs are not winning that division. They are two

2065
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,800
Speaker 1: games ahead of the Los Angeles Chargers and they'll need

2066
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 1: to win that game. But if they do, because the

2067
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 1: Chargers won the first one, like the Broncos are going

2068
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:08,840
Speaker 1: to win this division and they got a chance to

2069
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: be the number one seed. Maybe even after this weekend

2070
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:15,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, we're going to be back sooner than later.

2071
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 1: I thought we were going to get out of here

2072
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 1: early tonight, shook. I thought this game would be you know,

2073
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: it is moving along quickly. My parents are in town.

2074
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 1: I said, I'll try to get back, get out as

2075
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 1: soon as I can, and I'll say good night goodbye

2076
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 1: to you before you leave on a very early morning

2077
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 1: flight back to Massachusetts. Guess what, they're going to be

2078
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 1: asleep by the time I get home. You prevented me, Broncos,

2079
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 1: from saying good night to my parents and saying goodbye

2080
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 1: after this great week long Thanksgiving trip.

2081
01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:44,840
Speaker 6: And you know what, at least you did it with

2082
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:45,400
Speaker 6: a great game.

2083
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 21: So how dare you now? Greg doesn't believe that you

2084
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 21: can win the Super Bowl?

2085
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 1: Now, I forgive you. I forgive you. If if you

2086
01:38:51,560 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 1: were going to do it, at least do it and

2087
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 1: entertain us.

2088
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:53,920
Speaker 6: And they did.

2089
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:57,960
Speaker 1: It's been a great week of games. Chuck, come come

2090
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 1: join me Monday night football. We're gonna be on live

2091
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 1: after the game. I got a feeling that this game

2092
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be a tricky one for the Patriots. It's

2093
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna be frisky. We're gonna have a lot to talk about.

2094
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:12,519
Speaker 1: We'll have some news to join us on YouTube Monday

2095
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 1: Night Football.

2096
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:15,560
Speaker 6: What a week thirteen. We'll see that
