1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: It is up Straight Fire, Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre,

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Tuesday, October first. Oh my goodness, we

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: got a banner podcast today because so much fun stuff

5
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: went down, and not just the football games last night.

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: You have well, let's just call this a developing situation.

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: I'm reluctant to talk too much about it at the jump,

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: but it's one of these situations where shall we say,

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: someone's floating a player being traded and then the coach

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: allegedly liked it. We'll get to that shortly, but I

11
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: think we have to start with perfection, because hello, Jared Goff,

12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: How good was Jared Goff last night?

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: And the Lions went over Seattle. He was perfect.

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Eighteen of eighteen for two ninety two, two touchdowns and oh,

15
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: by the way, he caught a touchdown pass from Amara

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: Saint Brown on a little trickeration in the red zone.

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: Detroit looked really good.

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: Detroit's offense looked back and back I mean, you know,

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: to last year's for him. But I do wonder how

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: much of that had to do with the Seattle Seahawks

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: missing two starters on the defensive line. It Listen, their

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: secondary did not perform well, but a lot of that

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: has to do with I think the defensive line. Seattle

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: was able to hang tight Gino Smith, Chuckin and duck

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: In fifty six pass attempts. But this is like the

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: Lions I expected to see right, a lot of gibbson

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: Montgomery goff of play action golf over the middle. You

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: had a big James Jamis and Williams touchdown which nearly

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: killed me in fantasy. Laporta back in the action Amara

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: Saint Brown six catches.

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: Like Detroit looked pretty good.

32
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: I will say the officiating in this game, and I

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't want to be referee guy, but Detroit,

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: who has maybe the handsiest defensive backs in the league,

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: been pushing him for every single play. Twelve penalties one

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: hundred one yards and Seattle had nine for seventy So

37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: the offenses were amazing. Seattle had five hundred and sixteen

38
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: yards of total offense, the Lions had three hundred and

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: eighty nine yards of total offense, and then the referees

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: at one hundred and seventy one yards worth the penalties.

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: Not a lot of defense played here. Detroit five for

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: five in the red zone, Seattle was three or four.

43
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: Seattle had two turnovers. You you're not gonna win the

44
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: game when you have two turnovers and give up forty

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: two points. So Seattle takes their first l I'm not

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: ruling them out. I know some people are gonna be like, oh,

47
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: they're frauds. They were. They're like the Buffalo Bills. They

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: step up in class, face a good team and then

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: they get smacked here. I don't.

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily see it that way.

51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: I see it as this was a Seattle defense down

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: two guys from the starting line, and Nuosu I don't

53
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: think he played. I don't recall his name. And I

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: you know, they were playing from behind all night, and

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: I do think they you know, they caught Detroit here

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: in a big spot like the Lions were prime for.

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: This game was a rematch from either a year or

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: two ago where it was like thirty eight thirty five.

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: Detroit matches up well with Seattle, you know, but don't.

60
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's panic time for the Seahawks. We'll

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: get to the Miami Dolphins, who are definitely a Defcon one.

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: But I Detroit coming out of this with a nice victory,

63
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: and they've kind of found their footing after that one

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: wacky game against Tampa where they just had a bad

65
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: game plan. Detroit covers, Detroit wins. I don't want to

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: make any sweeping judgments off a forty nine victory.

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: Rub Yeah, I mean not too much. I will say that.

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: Shout out to me and you who totally missed picking

69
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: this game. You know, I think we both had seattle

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: in this one covering the spread and that ain't really

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: worked out, and not to double down. But later on

72
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: I also missed on the under on Titan's Dolphins, oh,

73
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: because of the ever dumbest touchdown ever. But we'll get

74
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: to that later. Look, I mean, the Detroit Lions looked great.

75
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: I mean you saw everything that you like about them,

76
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: and it was a microcosm of the team as a unit.

77
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: You know, great offensive line, running game is awesome, and

78
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 4: if you can keep Jared Goff upright, Jared Goff can

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: sling it with the best of them, point blank.

80
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Period.

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: You also saw, and you allude to this, what you

82
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: don't like about the Detroit Lions, and that defense is

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: a problem. To put it lightly, They I don't trust them,

84
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: you know, in the big moments against some of the

85
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 4: better upper echelon teams. We'll see if Seattle's one of

86
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: those upper echelon teams. But there's a reason why they

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 4: became the first team in NFL history, I believe to

88
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: blow a twenty one point lead in the championship game

89
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: against the Niners last year, because that defense is leaky

90
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 4: in the secondary, especially you mentioned Terry and Arnold is

91
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: basically you can call holding on him every play, every

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 4: single play, and unless they kind of get that stuff

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 4: tightened up. I know they made some acquisition this offseason

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 4: and hopefully that they can clean those areas up, but

95
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: if they can't, they're gonna be in a lot of shootouts.

96
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 4: And although they can win those type of games, I

97
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: think that if their defense was even you know, middle

98
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: of the road, not saying elite, but you know, just solid,

99
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 4: that they would probably be the FAE one of the

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: fair if not the favorite to come out of the NFC.

101
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: So they just got to get that defense, you know,

102
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: working out here in the second half of the season.

103
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say that. You know, Detroit and Seattle

104
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: are both top five in the NFC.

105
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: I remember, I know people were upset that I said

106
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: Dallas was in top six, but I guess if you're

107
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: ranking right now, I'm sorry. The Minnesota Vikings have to

108
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: be the best team in the NFC right now.

109
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: San Francisco's coming on all though.

110
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: This Christian McCaffrey report where he has tendonitis in both

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: of his legs, like, this is not going well at

112
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: all for Cemac. I'll be honest, I don't know that

113
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: he's gonna play anytime soon. Maybe they just get him

114
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: back for the playoffs. Here's the weird thing. If they

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: get everybody else back but McCaffrey, are they a super

116
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: Bowl team? I think certainly they are. Jordan Mason runs hard,

117
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: you could probably get Listen, we just saw Kareem Hunt

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: go to the Chiefs off the scrap heap and perform.

119
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: Like if the forty nine ers line is fine and

120
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: healthy and Trep. Williams is breathing and Jordan Mason goes down,

121
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: they can find a backup.

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: Like running backs are interchangeable. Not obviously.

123
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: McCaffrey is great and adds another dimension, But you give

124
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: me a healthy Jennings. Are U crowns into form Debo Kittle,

125
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: They're gonna be okay. Without McCaffrey. Obviously, you know, winning

126
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl would be difficult. I think it can

127
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: be done. But the NFC, to me right now feels

128
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: like Vikings, Lions, forty nine ers, not necessarily in that order.

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone from the South is a real threat.

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: I think you gotta put Washington and Philly in there,

131
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: and then I don't know, Green Bay and then Dallas.

132
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: Green Bay's defense just getting shredded last week was a

133
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: little troubling, but overall, yeah, I'm not gonna make any

134
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: massively sweep in judgments before I get to the Miami game,

135
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: where I Am going to make some radical proclamations.

Speaker 1: listen live.

140
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: I did just want to address the thing I alluded

141
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: to at the outset, and that's this whole DeVante Adams thing.

142
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: So Michael fab Biano is the writer for Sports Illustrated.

143
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: He has some fantasy stuff and he essentially wrote, don't

144
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: be surprised if Devanta Adams has already played his final

145
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: game with the Raiders and they put it on their Instagram,

146
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: and Rob and other outlets, well Rob's not an outlet,

147
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: but Rob g producer and Bleacher Report picked it up.

148
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: A lot of people noted that Antonio Pierce liked the

149
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: IG post.

150
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: Okay, so a few things. Antonio Pierce is a common name.

151
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the like, so I didn't click to

152
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: see if it's his actual profile. B Maybe he accidentally

153
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: fat fingered it possible. C Is it possible that someone

154
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: running his social liked it, So there are alternatives. I

155
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: just find it hard to believe an NFL coach is

156
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: sitting on Instagram scrolling through a sports illustrated thing and

157
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: then likes it.

158
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: It.

159
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: Just for an NFL coach, that doesn't seem like something

160
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: they would do.

161
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: Now, maybe I'm putting Antonio Peers in like Bill Belichick

162
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: territory or something, but I just to me, I find

163
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: that really hard to believe that, like an NFL coach

164
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: has Instagram on his phone. Maybe in the off season,

165
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: but in season. It just feels a little odd. That

166
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: being said, you guys know what I said yesterday on

167
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: the pod and by the way, Sunday, I was like,

168
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: there's no way that they would trade Devonte Adams a division,

169
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: and then of course you start to kind of see

170
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: the Ray Rice not Ray Rice, I'm sorry, She Rice

171
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: situation unfold and you're like, well, damn three Pete is real, Like, yeah, sure,

172
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: we could call DeAndre Hopkins and go for him, but

173
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: is he changing things significantly?

174
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. DeAndre happens a little past his prime.

175
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: I mean, DeVante Adams is like a legit, you've gotta

176
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: guard him or he'll have both catches for a buck

177
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: seventy five. Like, I don't know that de hop is

178
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: doing that at this stage in his career.

179
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: So Rob, I don't know.

180
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to pooh pooh it as if like,

181
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: let's ignore this. We all think there's some smoke with

182
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: this Davante Adams hamstring injury. But go ahead, Rob, take

183
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: it away.

184
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 4: Look, it's a well documented how I feel about Antonio Pierce.

185
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 4: I've gone on this record on this podcasting. I think

186
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: he's a fraud. And it goes back to him coaching

187
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 4: high school Long Beach Polly Powerhouse Gears in the California.

188
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 4: His second year there, missed the playoffs entirely for the

189
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: first time in thirty six years of that school's history,

190
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: So that was kind of a big deal. And at first,

191
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: when I saw the story and I saw that the

192
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 4: Links and Fabiano actual shared it themselves with the first

193
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: guy I saw it, I was like, you're right, it's

194
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: got to be he fat fingered it, or he accidentally

195
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: or you know, he liked it for motivation, Like, hey,

196
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 4: this is what they're saying about. Is YadA YadA, YadA?

197
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: Until I remember it about a week ago, when following

198
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 4: an inexplicable loss that they had to Caro, Antonio Peers

199
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: went out of his way to say that several players

200
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: made business decisions at the end of that game. I

201
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: can promise you not a single Beat reporter who covers

202
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: the Raiders would have ever looked back and watch the

203
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 4: All twenty two or watch that game and said, hey,

204
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 4: you know what, I was watching it at the end

205
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: of the game. I'm almost positive that Jack Jones wasn't

206
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 4: really trying to make tackles that he was kind of protecting,

207
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: Like nobody is watching the game with that level of

208
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: combing through it. If you're really covering anything like that,

209
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: if you're a blogger, and if you're a guy who

210
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: does this online, you probably have all day to do it.

211
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: You'll publish it, put it out on the Twitter verse,

212
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 4: and nobody would care. I mean, maybe the people who

213
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 4: follow you will, but on the grand scheme of things,

214
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 4: not a big story. So Antonio Pears, on his own,

215
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: his own volition, went out of his way to point

216
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 4: out that one of the starting defensive backs was making

217
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: business decisions. Became a story for twenty four hours. He

218
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 4: addresses it the next day. You know what, I probably

219
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: shouldn't say it, but you know I stand on business.

220
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: So then it goes to another twenty four hours, and

221
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 4: then it continues, and then it continues. Then finally out

222
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 4: Friday is like, you know what, shouldn't have said that?

223
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 4: You know, that's that's not fair to my team. I

224
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: gotta do a better jobh blah blah blah. But by

225
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 4: then the damage has been done. Antonio Piers, as we

226
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: mentioned on this podcast, is the first guy in any

227
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 4: sports to get hired strictly off of vibes. It's not

228
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: because of his football acumen, it's not because he's a

229
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: tactician or anything like that. It's because he says raiders

230
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 4: really loud, and unless Max Crosby smokes cigars, So if

231
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: you were to ask me now here on the October first,

232
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: if I believe Antonio Piers really like that tweet or

233
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: that Instagram post because for whatever reason he's salty about

234
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: Davonte Adams and his you know, murky hamstring injury, I

235
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 4: would say yes. I think that he's one of those

236
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: guys who does not think twice about the position that

237
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: he's in, who does not realize that his social media commentary,

238
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: his postgame press commence commentary, is gonna be a headline.

239
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: He's just talking like anybody else would talk, like you

240
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: and I would talk if we were talking off air

241
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 4: on this podcast. So yes, I believe Antonio Pierce is

242
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 4: you know, absent minded enough to do something that's stupid

243
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: and cause a firestorm here for Raider Nation.

244
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I listen. I do like how into

245
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: the Raiders you are, because honestly, I barely pay attention

246
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: and they've been so bad for so long, just like

247
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 2: my Jets. But I like the Jets, so I hope

248
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,599
Speaker 2: they work it out. I hope Devonte get shipped to

249
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: a good team, just not the Chiefs. And now I

250
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: just want to get into this Miami game. So you guys,

251
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: know I'm in that pick them pool, not the Vegas contest,

252
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: a pick them pool, and I was I had ten

253
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 2: correct calls out of fourteen, and then I was sitting

254
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: on I was like, let me go Tennessee in Seattle.

255
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: For whatever reason, I'll take the two underdogs.

256
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: And then I'm talking to guys at the herd on Monday,

257
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: and I start to get like, wishy washy, you know,

258
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: Snoopuntley's in.

259
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, let me change, let

260
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 3: me change, and I flipped both. I'm sorry.

261
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: I had the Lions, and then I flipped to Seattle,

262
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: and then I flipped to Miami and I went zero

263
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: in to and I lost out on some money. So

264
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: I'm pretty pissed off at Miami. I also bet the

265
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: under in Miami Tennessee, and then once Will Levis went out,

266
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: I added.

267
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: To the under.

268
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: It was like under thirty two, and then it dipped

269
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: to thirty one. I was like, lock it up. I

270
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: stopped watching the game. It was like a field goal fest, okay,

271
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: and then the fourth quarter happens, and I mean, first

272
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: of all, this is not just about gambling.

273
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: Miami's awful, and I'll tell you why.

274
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: In a second, but so Miami scores, So Miami's down

275
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: twenty two to six with like four minutes left. The

276
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: Dolphins finally have a drive and they make it twenty

277
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: two twelve, So I lose this second under then Tyler

278
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: Huntley gets called for intentional grounding in the end zone.

279
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 2: They totally botch the on side kick attempt post safety

280
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: or whatever the kick was, are sorry post safety and

281
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: Tennessee gets gifted the ball in the red zone with

282
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: thirty seconds left and they score a touchdown to.

283
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: Go over, and I was just like, are you kidding me?

284
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: This is absolutely brutal.

285
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: But the only thing more brutal than losing that was

286
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins.

287
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: Folks.

288
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: You know, I like Mike McDaniel. He's got that yoish

289
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: thing going on. He's kind of cool. He like he

290
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: went to Yale, so he's smart. He's a little nerdy,

291
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: and he's kind of like he I think he knows

292
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of rap lyrics. The way he talks to people.

293
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: Remember we had Mike Ssilver on last week. McDaniel just

294
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: relates to the locker room. Okay, so two years ago

295
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: two I had all these concussions and it kind of

296
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: derailed the season.

297
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: They still made the playoffs. Skylar Thompson started, they lost

298
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: last year. Two was fully healthy. Two is awesome.

299
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: He's an MVP candidate midway through the season, and they

300
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: make the playoffs and loose, but like everything's in place.

301
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: This is a team that scored seventy points in a

302
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: game last year, Folks. Tua goes down in Week two

303
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: against Buffalo on the Thursday night football game, Concuss goes

304
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: on the IR. It was as if Miami didn't even think,

305
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: you know what, we should upgrade at quarterback just in

306
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: case two was hurt. Last year, they went out and

307
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: got Mike White, and then I guess Tua didn't get injured,

308
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: so they were like, oh, we don't need Mike White anymore,

309
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: so that we'll just keep Skyler Thompson. Well, Skyler Thompson

310
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: was total garbage against Seattle and he got hurt. So

311
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: now it's like, oh, my gosh, who can run our offense? Well,

312
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: they settle on Snoop Huntley, who they poached from the

313
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: Baltimore practice squad two weeks ago, and he was awful,

314
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: could not move the football in any way, shape or form.

315
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill must be so ticked off. I mean, I'm

316
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: not like a body language expert, but every time they

317
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: panned to the sideline, it just they look resigned, like

318
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: we got no shot.

319
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Wattle has been playing like ass.

320
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: If you have those two in fantasy, don't trade him

321
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: because two the might still come back, you know. But

322
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: it just this is a team that could be could

323
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: be the worst in the NFL without Tua, and we

324
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: might find out this week because they're playing the Patriots.

325
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Now.

326
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: I know the Jags are winless, but I don't think

327
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: anybody thinks they're the worst team.

328
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: In the league.

329
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: And frankly, on our neutral field, I would make Jacksonville

330
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: a favorite over Miami. Miami is bad, folks. They cannot

331
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: do anything right.

332
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: And listen.

333
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: Their offensive line is doing nothing for Huntley, did nothing

334
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: for Skyler Thompson.

335
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: They're bad.

336
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: This is the Miami problem. It goes back to paying

337
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: your quarterback everything, paying your wide receiver everything. You guys know,

338
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: Tyreek got paid and he got reupped. Tua got paid.

339
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey, big expensive defender, pass rusher, Bradley Chubb. He's

340
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: hurt or it was hurt coming off the injury. Like

341
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: they don't have any balance to their team. They're top

342
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: heavy and everybody's hurt, and they now are look like borderline.

343
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: Like an expansion team.

344
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: You look at some of the other than Tyreek Hill

345
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: and Waddell and a Chan who's got no airspace. They

346
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: have no offensive line to speak up. This is such

347
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: a poorly built team. And I'm not saying McDaniel should

348
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: be in trouble in any way share beform. I just wonder,

349
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: how do you look at your roster and say, hmm, yeah,

350
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: we're good backup quarterback? No tool was fine last year,

351
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 2: And I just want to point to Green Bay. Malik

352
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: Willis comes over from Tennessee to Green Bay, Jordan Love

353
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: goes down, Malik Willis starts two games, and Lafleur coached

354
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: them to victories. One of them was against this Titans team. Okay,

355
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: I already forgot who the other one was against, but

356
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: it was a nice win because Malik Willis can't play quarterback.

357
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: And you just add all this up. And I know

358
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: everybody likes McDaniel and Rob. I'm not going after McDaniel,

359
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: but I do have to wonder, like, I don't know,

360
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: the Jets got called out for this last year when

361
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers goes down in Week one, They're like, oh,

362
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 2: you guys had no backup. You gotta go to Zach Wilson. Well,

363
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle and company somehow coax the Jets

364
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: to seven wins. Miami will not sniff seven wins. If

365
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: two it doesn't come back this season, they're not gonna

366
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: get anywhere near that. This is a Miami team, honestly,

367
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: that I think could be the worst team in the

368
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: NFL without Tua. And at that point, it's like, wait

369
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 2: a minute, Jay, were you the one asking them to

370
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: draft Michael PENNICKX.

371
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: Yes, I was. They ended up drafting no quarterback at all.

372
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: And I get it.

373
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: You paid two and he's great for your offense when

374
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: he's there and healthy. But the reality is two of

375
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 2: the last three seasons now he suffered concussions.

376
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 3: I don't we don't know if he's coming back.

377
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: He says he wants to, but it just it screams

378
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: to me an ill prepared franchise. By the way, I personally,

379
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: you know, I'm enjoying the one and three start. So

380
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 2: the Bills are three and one, the Jets are two

381
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: and two, the Patriots are one and three and the

382
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: Dolphins are one and three. Jets are still in the

383
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: thick of the division, even though they lost to the Broncos.

384
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 2: I know it was bad, but this Miami loss at

385
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: home getting thumped and oh, by the way, I didn't

386
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 2: even mention Will Levis went down in the first quarter

387
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: with an injury. He already had thrown an interception because

388
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: that's what he does. Mason Rudolph comes in the game.

389
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: How was the Miami defense not able to turn over

390
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph? I mean, Mason Rudolph, he wasn't great. Nine

391
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: of seventeen eighty five yards. I mean the Tennessee offense

392
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: is a joke. One hundred and two yards passing and

393
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: you score thirty one points? What how this make it?

394
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: Justin fields looked like Peyton Manning out here, and Tony

395
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 2: Paula looked good, and Tajy Spears is Oh man, that

396
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 2: kid's got some pop. But it's just like this team

397
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: is just I don't know what to make of Miami,

398
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 2: rob I just know they're.

399
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: Really, really, really bad without Tua Jason.

400
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 4: There's a stat floating around on the interwebs that is

401
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 4: so absurd that it sounds fake, but I promise you

402
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: that it's real. The one in three Miami Dolphins are

403
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 4: currently the only NFL team that has not held a

404
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 4: lead for a single second this season. Now people ask, well,

405
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 4: how is that possible if they won a game, because

406
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 4: their only win came against Jacksonville. They were trailing that

407
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 4: entire game. They hit a field goal as time I'm expired,

408
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: so they didn't actually lead until after the game the

409
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: clock I tacked to zero. I don't even know how

410
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 4: that's possible through four games that not accidentally, you're not

411
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 4: up three to nothing on somebody like this team. And

412
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 4: you mentioned it was built almost like a fantasy football roster.

413
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 4: Because I'm a big too a guy. I know you're

414
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: less of a two guy than I am. But I

415
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: think one thing we can agree on is even coming

416
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 4: off last year where he had a great season, first

417
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 4: time that he finished the entire year fully healthy, that

418
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 4: you know what, it might make sense to have a

419
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 4: backup in it just in case something goes sideways. Maybe

420
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: call up to Rod Taylor before the Jets can get

421
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 4: to him. Maybe call up the Washington Is, even get

422
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: Taylor Heineke on the cheek to be your backup something anything,

423
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 4: because history says that Tua is gonna miss at least

424
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 4: one to two games, whether it's for an ankle or

425
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 4: a finger, and this case of concussion, they didn't do that.

426
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 4: And now what you're seeing play out in real time

427
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: is this whole narrative that we've heard now for a

428
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: year and a half or so that well, anybody can

429
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 4: look good in that offense. You know, Mike McDaniel calling

430
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 4: the plays, and Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle is a

431
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 4: track meet. You know, tuas a system quarterback, he's not

432
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 4: that great. And what we're seeing right now is the

433
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 4: narrative that Tua is a system quarterback is officially dead.

434
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: At this point. It is fair to say that Tua

435
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 4: is the system in Miami because all the shit that

436
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 4: they were doing that was high flying, throwing up seventy

437
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 4: burgers on people last season does not work unless you

438
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 4: have a quarterback who can dissect the defense very quickly,

439
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: usually in about two seconds, and is highly accurate to

440
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 4: get the ball to Waddle and Chan and Hill and

441
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 4: all these guys in space. I tweeted this to you.

442
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 4: I know you didn't see it because you don't actually

443
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 4: follow my tweets like that, I get it. It's fine,

444
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 4: you know, only friends here on this podcast. I followed,

445
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: but we're coming into week four. In games were to

446
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: A played for Mike McDaniel from twenty twenty two to

447
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, their offense was third in EPA per

448
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 4: drop back, third and pass attempts or pass teen touchdowns

449
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 4: per attempt, second in yards per attempt, second in quarterback rating,

450
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 4: fourth in completion percentage, all of that with Tua. In

451
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: games without Tua and their hodgepodge of quarterbacks, most recently Stuwpuntley,

452
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 4: these numbers are gonna go down now and once this

453
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 4: gets populated, because there hasn't been fixed overnight yet without

454
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 4: two of the Dolphins offense thirty second in EPA per

455
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: drop back, thirtyefth in passing touchdowns per attempt, twenty fifth

456
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 4: in yards per attempt, dead last in rating, twenty ninth

457
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 4: in completion percentage. If this is all the Mike McDaniels

458
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 4: system and all these fast ass wide receivers in this

459
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: track me that they have there in Miami, then I

460
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 4: would assume that any buddy can at least be average

461
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 4: with that. They can you know, meet slightly below are.

462
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 4: They could be mid No without Tua. This is the

463
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 4: worst offense in football. An offense featuring All Pro Tyreek

464
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 4: Hill ro bowler Jalen Waddle, one of the top young

465
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 4: running backs in Devon a.

466
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 2: Chen.

467
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 4: It's the worst offense in football because it's all built

468
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 4: around the skill set of one guy that kind of

469
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: speaks volumes of me.

470
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you wonder how they fix this, and

471
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: you know you need to invest in the offensive line.

472
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: The problem when you unload all this money on Tyree

473
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: and Tua and Jalen Ramsey, it's like you can't pay

474
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 2: for an offensive line. They don't have one. Like the

475
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: pockets crumbling on every play. Last year, guys were healthy

476
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: and they had the number one rushing offense in the league,

477
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 2: Like really good rushing offense. Now, I know you could say, well,

478
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 2: moster's hurt, you know, Okay, fine, what's he doing behind

479
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: the line? They can't block that. The Titans didn't have

480
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: Free Simmons there their best defensive lineman, and they dominated

481
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. I mean they had seven tackles

482
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: for loss seven. The Tennessee Titans were living in the backfield,

483
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 2: Like that's an indictment. Man, I don't know this. The

484
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 2: Miami defense just is not good. The Miami offense is

485
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: not good.

486
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

487
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 2: I didn't have this team as a playoff team earlier

488
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 2: in the offseason, but it's looking extremely bleak with two out.

489

Speaker 1: listen live.

493
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: I do want to quickly wrap up the podcast. Obviously

494
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: we could touch on baseball. There was a very random

495
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 2: and I forgive me for not knowing why this happened,

496
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: but the Mets ended up playing a double header on Monday,

497
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: and they split the doubleheader, and as such, the Diamondbacks

498
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 2: missed the playoffs and the Mets and Braves get into

499
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

500
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 3: But that wasn't even the biggest story.

501
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: The biggest story in baseball was the passing of Pete

502
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: Rose at the age of eighty three. I think we

503
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: can call him an MLB legend, right The hit King,

504
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 2: the all time hits leader, was banned from baseball for

505
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: betting on baseball. It's you know, I don't want to

506
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: make this whole like, oh, you should be in the

507
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. I think he definitely should, but I'm

508
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: not going to like get into some big argument back

509
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 2: and forth about why or why not. So Pete Rose

510
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: obviously worked with Fox, and I'll never forget one day,

511
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: maybe it was like year two or three.

512
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: I was at Fox.

513
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: I walk into hair and makeup before one of the shows,

514
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: and there's this older guy in there, and you know,

515
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: I'm just like friendly, Hey, what's up. And then the

516
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 2: guy says hi and looks at me, and I'm like,

517
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: oh shit, that's Pete Rose. And like I you know,

518
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: I've had moments there where I meet somebody and it's like,

519
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: oh my god, I don't know what to say to

520
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: this guy. Like he's a lot older. He's a major legend.

521
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: I mean, Pete Rose, like one of the greatest baseball

522
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: players ever, and he's just in there, Oh, Hey, what's up.

523
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: And I didn't really know what to say, And you know,

524
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 2: he was friendly. I mean Alex I knew what to

525
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: say to, like Alex Rodriguez, who just rolls up and

526
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 2: talks to anybody. He's just outgoing super But like we're

527
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: talking about Pete Rose. Now he's a little before my time.

528
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: He's like a seventies big red machine guy. So I'm

529
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: sure Cowherd today is gonna like, you know, wax poetic

530
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: about Pete Rose because of one of the stars of

531
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: his youth. But one of the stars of my youth

532
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: would be like Kendriffy Junior, Don Maddingly, you know that

533
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: that kind of player. I don't really recall Pete Rose

534
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: as a player. It was just you know, I'm sure

535
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 2: he played in the eighties, but it's just mostly his

536
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: his prime was before my time, and just being in

537
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: his orbit, you know, is is it?

538
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: He's an interesting character.

539
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: You just look at him and you're like, man, I

540
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: mean that guys the all time hits leader in the

541
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: history of baseball. And again, I know it's one thing

542
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: to say it, but then to be around him and

543
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: oh wow, interesting and he you know, he's a very

544
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 2: outspoken guy. And I don't know, I'm not like one

545
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 2: of these in awe of people, but there's been a

546
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: few at Fox, and Pete Rose was one of them.

547
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: I think I told the story. Mike Vick was another one.

548
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: I walked in, you know, we were sharing like a

549
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: dressing room, and I knock and open the door and

550
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: Mike Vic say Hey, what's up. And it's just like

551
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: me and Mike Vick in a room, and I'm like,

552
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 2: oh my god, Michael Vick, Like I've played video games

553
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 2: as Vic, I've watched his games, I covered them as

554
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: a journalist. He's obviously been through a lot. And it's like,

555
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that I'm on my fantasy football team.

556
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: Like what he said to Mike Vick, he was very calm, cool,

557
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: very friendly, but like, I don't know. It just Pete

558
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: Rose like a true icon in baseball, and I'm sure

559
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: people are gonna go ape shit here about should he

560
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: get into the Hall of Fame and all this, But like,

561
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's been a weird what is it

562
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: seventy two hours, I guess in deaths, apparently these celebrity

563
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: deaths coming through. So Chris Christofferson, a longtime actor, passed away.

564
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: I think it was Sunday.

565
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 2: And then you had de Kembe Mutumbo, oh my gosh,

566
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: passing away Monday morning from brain cancer at the age

567
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 2: of I think fifty eight. Folks that I don't It

568
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: was like one of the Mutumbo news Rob was one

569
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: of those where I was driving and then I get

570
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: a text not Mutumbo, and I'm like, you know, my

571
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: first thought, Mutumbo is the finger wag and like rejection,

572
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: and like, you know, you get rejected like by women

573
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: like Mutumbo, like at a club, you know you're hitting

574
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: on girls. You got the Mutumbo. I'm sure you guys

575
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: have said that to your buddies, but like, I didn't

576
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: know what not Mutumbo meant. So then you know, I'm

577
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: gonna stop light. I look on social media and I

578
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: see Mutumbo's passes away at fifty eight, and I'm like,

579
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: damn Matumbo again. I grew up in the DC area

580
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: and Mutumbo was at Georgetown with Alonzo warning just ma

581
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: Tumbo just easy guy to root for, you know. And

582
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: then he goes to the NBA and he was on

583
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: that Denver Nuggets team that as an eighth seed. I

584
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: think they took down Seattle. Rob you can check me

585
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: on that one, yep. And Matumbo's like laying on the

586
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: ground clutching the basketball, I think crying, but just it

587
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: was awesome. That was like an iconic moment. And I

588
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: don't know, man, it's a it's a tough start to

589
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: the week for passings in sports, but yeah, I was

590
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: a big Mutumbo fan. I mean, the guy's just shot

591
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: blocking legend and the finger wag. He's been in so

592
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: many good commercials, you know, by all accounts, a great

593
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 2: ambassador to basketball around the world.

594
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: And I saw a.

595
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: Video of the GM of the Raptors, massai U Ziri

596
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 2: like crying talking about Mutumbo and what he's done in

597
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: Africa for basketball and just humans. So it's just it's

598
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: just sucks to lose, you know, a guy at fifty

599
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: eight years old as young man. Hey, you never know

600
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: how much time he got left, guys, but you got

601
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 2: to enjoy every moment, right. That's a bit of a

602
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: somber note to wrap up the podcast, But we'll be

603
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: back tomorrow. We have a good interview coming up NFL

604
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: Guy gambling.
