Welcome back to another edition of the 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis, and 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: I'm joined by room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: and Greg Rosenthal. What up, boys? Hey damn Happy Sunday. 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Week two. A lot of craziness, very strange week too. Yeah, well, 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: were great. I'm so happy for a week two because 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: that means we're talking about anything else but the lead 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: up to week two and what was the roughest week 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: in NFL history perhaps, But today Sunday brings games, and 11 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: games bring football talk and that's good. Brings a lot 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: of injuries too. That was that was kind of it 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: down here. But there were a lot of big upsets. 14 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of this was. Yeah, this is Sunday. 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: I guess that we were talking about. What was the 16 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: theme of the day. Uh, unfortunately injuries, A lot of 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: big name players. What do we have? We had, uh 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: degree r G three with an ankle, No, Sean Reno 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: with an elbow, Gerald McCoy and Gerald McCoy with a hand. Uh, 20 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: Charles Charles with an ankle, Sean Jackson. There was a 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: lot of big names and the r G three one 22 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: being serious. But well we'll get that. We'll get to 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: all that. But the other big takeaway mark you. You 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: thought of it, so you might as well let it rip. 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: What did you What are you seeing when you look 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: into the world the ether? Oh? Well, you know, we 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: came into the season looking at three NFC teams in Seattle, 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: Green Bay in the Saints that I think collectively viewed 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: as the true Super Bowl contenders. There two and four 30 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: after two weeks. Just put that on top of your 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: forty five thousand things you need to know from week 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: to slap it in there. That's how the magic's made. 33 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: And you know the Denver Broncos who are widely believed 34 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: to be an AFC contender too, and oh but not 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: a dominant too enough, so it's it's not exactly how 36 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: everyone has pictured it right now so far, which I 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: guess is there a dominant two and out not right now? Well, 38 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: besides the Buffalo Bills, I think the Panthers have looked 39 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: really good in both games. You can't fault how they 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: played in either game. They weren't dominant either one. They 41 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: were dominant. They beat the Lions seven, and they dominated 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: the Bucks for three quarters. They were nonsense. Happened in garbage. 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: They were one drop DeShawn Gouldsen six away from losing 44 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: that games. All right, gentlemen, so why don't we get 45 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: into it. We'll start with the games as we do 46 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: every Sunday, and t D behind the glass. How you doing, 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: by the way, buddy, doing well? Doing well? My fantasy 48 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: team not so much. But yeah, hanging there, buddy. Yeah, 49 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm more fascinated damage. I pointed it out, but now 50 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: I can't stop thinking about it. You're wearing a short 51 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: sleeved red shirt with a hood, which you know, it's 52 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: kind of a It doesn't interesting. Yeah, what's that about. Well, 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. It's supposed to Peacock, supposed to. 54 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: I think we learned the TD works out. Yeah, he's 55 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: got some noticeable arms, got some guns. Did you hear 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: he said? Peacock? Remember that book that Remember that book Mystery. 57 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start calling you mystery. Anyway. Let's get into it. Hey, 58 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: we get some that primetime music going, the old ESPM show. 59 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: M that sounds good. Let's get into it. So the 60 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, coming off that big victory over the Green 61 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Bay Packers at home, traveled down to San Diego. UH. 62 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: A lot of people figure the Seahawks have a chance 63 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: to really get out of the gate with a nice 64 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: winning streak. That's not gonna happen because the the San 65 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: Diego Chargers, behind three touchdown receptions by Antonio Gates, who 66 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: still in the picture, kid leads the San Diego Chargers 67 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: to a big thirty one win at home over the 68 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: defending champions. Of course, the San Diego Chargers are a 69 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: team of a t L nominee, and now they are 70 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: one and one with a big victory under their belt, 71 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: and now people can start getting excited about the Charges, right, 72 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: make them the team of a t L. Already they 73 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: heard us talking and they wanted to send a message. 74 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: This thing was a beautiful game to watch. I I 75 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: implore you all to watch it during the week. You 76 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: could just send this game tape right now to Canton 77 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: and get it ready for whoever is going to be 78 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: making that speech for Antonio Gates and Philip Rivers after 79 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: they retire, because it was the most Philip Rivers Antonio 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: Gates game possible, dodging defenders kind of throwing touch passes 81 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: from uncomfortable places, gates making great catches. It was just 82 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: an awesome performance by the child. I like the way 83 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: you put it by the way downstairs in the newsroom. 84 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: I think it was the first Philip Rivers Rivers pass 85 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: where you kind of just dropped it over the Seattle Secondary. 86 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: It's kind of like old guy golf where they have 87 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: their own ways of doing things. Philip Rivers has this 88 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: old guy golf method of passing the old guy. They 89 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: exactly basketball. It's not Larry Bird Jersey just work in 90 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: the post. They beat the Seahawks by throwing on them. 91 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: That was the game plan to hold onto the ball, 92 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: and they did it for forty two minutes, which is outrageous. 93 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: With a terrible running game. They're rushing attack had less 94 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: than three yards per carry. They didn't run the ball much. 95 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: It was all those precise short passes and Rivers just 96 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: held the ball. It was a great It was just 97 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: an unbelievable performance by their offense. How does Marshawn Lynch 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: wind up with thirty six yards rushing? Is it just 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: a time of possession. They never really got into the flow. 100 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: They never had the ball. The Seahawks offense, you can't 101 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: fault them. They actually were more explosive per play than 102 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: the Chargers. It was just the fact that when San 103 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: Diego got the ball. Listen to these first drives fourteen plays, 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: nine ten plays, six plays the first four possessions, which 105 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: basically took up the whole first half. They scored two 106 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: touchdowns to field goals. It was a great performance by Rivers. 107 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: What is this I hear about Richard Sherman being exposed. Uh, well, 108 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: they threw at him. I think the broadcast said four 109 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: times for fifty six yards in the first three quarters 110 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: or so. He didn't give up any big plays. Some Chargers, 111 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, players were honking afterwards that we exposed Richard Sherman. 112 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: It's not like they were picking on him. He didn't 113 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: give up huge plays. That's not a terrible day for 114 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: a cornerback. But he wasn't happy about that. Chargers gut 115 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: and assist from the weather and twenty degrees on the field, 116 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: that dark jerseys, and you could see that they were 117 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: laboring quite a bit. You could, and I just don't 118 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: think a Pete Carroll team knows what to do when 119 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: they can't get a running game going like that. It 120 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: was just they took it to him. They never really 121 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: let them get into that flow because when they tried 122 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: to run the ball early, suddenly you're punting and then 123 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: the Charges are holding the ball again. It reminded me 124 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: a lot of the Chargers last year when they played 125 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: the Broncos a very similar sort of style. One thing 126 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: Mike McCoy underrated in terms of weeks a week, depending 127 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: on who they're dealing with, he comes up with a 128 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: creative game plan. And I think it's because they're out 129 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: in San Diego. No one cares about San Diego, totally 130 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: under the radar in terms of that. I'm ready to 131 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: make them the team of ADL right now. And the Seahawks, 132 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: by the way, couldn't tackle their breaking tackles. This Chargers 133 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: defense is a lot better. Jason Barrett rookie playing very well. 134 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: Greg very excited about making the Chargers team of AL 135 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and you know it, I I totally 136 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: see it as something that could happen. But maybe we 137 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: should table it for Wednesday show so we can get 138 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: into it a little bit and maybe decide then or not. 139 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: West is that same fair? Yeah? I have some reservations 140 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: with the Georgia. Okay, so let's let's table the discussion 141 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: until Wednesday, and we'll get into it a little bit. 142 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: Because it is a very special honor to be named 143 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: the team of a tel. We want to rush into anything. 144 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: Let's move forward. The Buffalo Bills are now two and oh, 145 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. The Miami Dolphins, coming off that great 146 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: win over the New England Patriots in week one, go 147 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: up to Orchard Park and Electric Electric Orchard Park, which 148 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: team just got sold, and they're staying in Western New York. 149 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly's there and people are loving all that. And 150 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: then they go out and they play like the old Bills. 151 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: C J. Spiller uh channeling his two two thousand twelve version. 152 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: He is a hundred and two yard kickoff return, also 153 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: a forty something yard run. He was on fire. The 154 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: defense played great. The Laser Show was sidelined for lesa 155 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: week at twenty nine and ten. Win for the Bills. 156 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: As I said, now too, and oh and leading the 157 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: a FC East all alone. Mark Sesler, your thoughts, I 158 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: don't know. For me, that's a disappointment because from Miami, 159 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: I looked at them and I watched the game tape 160 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: pretty closely from last week. I thought this was a 161 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: team that was going to consistently go out and produce 162 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: on offense. I guess you know. Buffalo is never an 163 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: easy place to go and do what you want to do, 164 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: no matter what's going on with the Bills. But they 165 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: got on track today. E J Manual a clean game. Yeah, 166 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: e J Manual is fine. But Dad, when I think 167 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: about this game, why did the Bills win? It's about defense. 168 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: The the Dolphins offense did not even cross midfield until 169 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: the third quarter. They had two ninety yards overall. Ryan Tannehill, 170 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: who I'm sorry, Greg, I know he's still your boy potentially. 171 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: I know that's fading as well. He just is not 172 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: impressive to me. He misses too many throws and it 173 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: doesn't help when that new offensive line is not clicking. 174 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: It did not look good. He got sacked four times, 175 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: kind of looked rattled at times. This was not a 176 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: great Ryan Tannehill game. So the entire Miami offense look bad. 177 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: But you gotta give credit to the Buffalo defense for 178 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: scheming to make that happen. The big maybe negative for 179 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: the Dolphins is we were all kind of excited about 180 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: Miami's backfield after Week one. Now, no Sean Reno suffered 181 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: suffered a gruesome elbow injury. Looks like according to rap Sheet, 182 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna be out at least a month, so he's 183 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: out of the picture. Uh. And then one other takeaway 184 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: that I had watching the game closely, Sammy Watkins big 185 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: coming out party. Eight catches, a hundred and seventeen yards 186 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Uh. You know, this guy came into 187 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: the league ready made to be a Pro Bowl guy, 188 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: and we're already seeing it. In Week two Robert Woods 189 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: one catch for five yards. That's not good, but he 190 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: had that first game. I'm gonna focus on that one. 191 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: It's nice though, that they have Watkins who can take 192 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: over a game, and they have C. J. Spiller who's 193 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: not gonna be week to week taking over games, but 194 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: there will be games like this one. You know. You 195 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: also you had the big Ronnie had the big kick 196 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: off return that he can take over, and they have 197 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: defensive players that can take over. They have a lot 198 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: of good individual players. Greg, as a follower of the Patriots, 199 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: you are are you mortified and slightly scared to see 200 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: Buffalo alone at the top of the a f C East. No, 201 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: I think team if I could choose one to be 202 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: a top that way. Yea, the Pathers one in week 203 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: one with Derek Anderson at quarterback. That got Cam Newton 204 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: back in week two in Charlotte and their home open 205 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: or and they paid off. He threw for two yards 206 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: and a touchdown Pathers seven win over the Detroit Lions. 207 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: Uh Newton had that rib injury, was sacked four times, 208 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: but stayed through the game and the Caroline is now 209 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: two and oh for the first time since two thousand 210 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: and eight. Gentlemen, And he was always he was diving 211 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: all over the place. Looked like he might have hurt 212 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: himself a couple of times, you know, dove awkwardly. He 213 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: still hasn't learned how to slide. So I think my 214 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: idea to make that an event at the combine still 215 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: a good one, you know what I'm saying. Oh, I 216 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: think it's an excellent idea. I think not enough guys 217 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: know how to do it. It seems like a Lions 218 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: missed a lot of opportunities that they failed to capital 219 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: lies on today. Right in the first half of this game, 220 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: the Lions should have gotten out to a big lead. 221 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: They consistently moved the ball. They had a hundred ninety 222 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: seven yards at halftime. Uh and they didn't have a point. 223 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: They missed two field goals, They made mistakes at the 224 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: end of drives, and the Panthers just have that sort 225 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: of bend but don't break defense where they tackle so well. 226 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: They remind you of the Seahawks when they're at home too. 227 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 1: They just they were flying all over the ball, and 228 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: then once they got into the second half, Newton settled 229 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: and had a very good passing day, despite a bunch 230 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: of drops from Calvin Benjamin. And the big news before 231 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: the game was that the Panthers deactivated Pro Bowl defensive 232 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: end Greg Hardy, who was involved and convicted in that 233 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: domestic incident the summer. Uh Ron Rivera said after the 234 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 1: game that it was his call. Believe he did. There's 235 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: varying reports whether it was up to the owner, Jerry Richardson, 236 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: who has been publicly shed tears over this, you know, 237 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: a fortnight ago. Yeah, right, about domestic violence. And it 238 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: just makes you wonder party is going to be back 239 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: on the field at all this season, because what's gonna change. 240 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: He doesn't have any legal case coming up, it's not 241 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: until November. What's gonna change next week when it comes 242 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: to Hardy and there this defense is shown. They they're 243 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: gonna be fine with or without him. It's a big loss, 244 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: but they're gonna be fine either way. I think you 245 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: make a good point with Hardy, and same thing with 246 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson in Minnesota, that it's such a a different 247 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: time in the NFL and things are so black and white. 248 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what happens with these players because we 249 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: don't know how these teams want to react, and you know, 250 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: it's such a it's such a touchy situation, so they 251 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: the safe move might just to leave these guys out 252 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: of the game plan, which would have seemed crazy a 253 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: year ago. But now we're in no new world. It's 254 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: definitely a different era. You've got guys who have had 255 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: domestic violence incidents, incidents in the past who are suiting 256 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: up multiple incidents, and they're suiting up because it happened 257 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: before ray Rice. But to get back to the game 258 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: on this one, I do think we should give the 259 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: Panthers a lot of credit for coming up with two 260 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: really good performances in a row. The Lions, I said 261 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: they moved the ball in the first half, they didn't 262 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: move the ball in the second half very well, and 263 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: it's just a team that's so well coached on defense 264 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: for them to end up winning. Going away with absolutely 265 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: no running game. Jonathan Stewart did nothing until he had 266 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: a twenty yard running garbage time, and he still get 267 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: the win. Moving forward to Cincinnati, where the Bengals lost 268 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: A J. Green very early in the game with a 269 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: foot injury. Actually ended up being A J. Green's first 270 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: game as a pro without having a catch, But it 271 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: didn't matter because this Cincinnati team, Chris Westling, has some balance. 272 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: The defense did the job, messed up, messed with Matt 273 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: Ryan who had a difficult day passing, and the Bengals 274 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: had victory over the Atlanta Falcons, who had that great 275 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: win over the Saints in Week one. The Bengals are 276 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: now two and oh for the first time since two 277 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: thousand six. We don't know what's going on with A J. Green, 278 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: how long he might be out, but things are good 279 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Should people be excited, Chris Wesling, Yeah, because 280 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: it's the regular season. Oh ing on the parade. In 281 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks, they can't do anything until 282 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs start. But anyway, why didn't you take a 283 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: wrecking ball to Skyline Chili while you're at it? Let 284 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: them get excited in Cincinnati. They should get excited because 285 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: it is September. Were you not impressed with him? They 286 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: know I was very impressed, and I think we all 287 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: agreed that Mike zimmer was one of the best assistant 288 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL over the past decade or so. 289 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: They haven't missed him one bit. They gave Joe Flacco 290 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: one of the longest afternoons of his career last week, 291 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: and they gave Matt Ryan the one of the worst 292 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: days of his career this week. They were look Lamar Holmes, 293 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: the Falcons right tackle. He couldn't block an Oakland Raiders 294 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: fan on Twitter game left he was he was better. 295 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: He's outplayed Lamar Holmes both weeks. That's that's not a 296 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: good time because Matt Ryan was arguably the best quarterback 297 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: in the league last week. Carlo has done lab hit 298 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan five times. Ryan forty four for two thirty 299 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: one yards and a touchdown. He was sacked twice through 300 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: three interceptions. Very tough and I and I'll say the 301 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: Falcons won't. Before the season started, which now seems forever ago, 302 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: when we all wrote about who were our dark horses. 303 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: I picked the Falcons, and I felt really good at 304 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: their last Sunday. But now they're one and one, and 305 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: I see that they've given up nearly a thousand yards 306 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: in defense total yards defense over two games, so that 307 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: could be a major issue of their ability to stop. 308 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: This feels like a Hugh Jackson game, exactly how we'd 309 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: wanted to go for the Bengals. You've got twenty three 310 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: attempts for Dalton. He's efficient. They run for a hundred 311 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: and seventy yards with Bernard and the rookie Hill splitting carries. 312 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: You know that I watched what they did last week 313 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: against the Ravens, and they're running some Eagles concepts. They're 314 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: much more frisky and creative than they were Undergrooden. I 315 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: guess you know. The Bengals to me always struck me 316 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: as sort of a boring team, despite their success at home. 317 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: I can't look at this team and feel as bored 318 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: as I as I have been in the past. They 319 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: seem more more efficient on offense and uh a more 320 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: formal boll to me Geo. Bernard's workload came because of 321 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: a j Green's injury. They already had Tyler Eifert and 322 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones out, so basically your top three weapons in 323 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: the passing game are out. Bernard had nearly double his 324 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: career high and carries, and he had his career high 325 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: in total yards too. And he had targets last week too. 326 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: I mean he had he had a lot of They 327 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: gave him a lot of work in space in week one. 328 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be careful with thirty two touches. You can't 329 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: do that each week or else he's gonna be gone too. 330 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns entered action on Sunday with riding a nine 331 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: game losing streak at home, and here came the Saints 332 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: coming off a bad loss in Week one. Looked like 333 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: a recipe for disaster for Cleveland, but no, Mark Sessler, 334 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: it was not a recipe of disaster for disaster. It 335 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: was a recipe for tasty goodness. Billy Condif kicks the 336 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: twenty nine yard field goal with three seconds to play, 337 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: and the Browns are winners over the Saints on Sunday. 338 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: Everybody really excited. Brian Hoyer making some plays. Uh, Johnny 339 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: Manzel gets in it, gets in the action, hands the 340 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: ball off. Everybody's excited about it. Saints said rally from 341 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: a thirteen point deficit to take the lead, but the 342 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: Browns would not be denied. And the Brownies and one 343 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: on one Mark seeslo. I think the takeaway from me 344 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: watching this game was what Mike Petton's defense was able 345 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: to do to Drew Brees. And you know that you 346 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: can't do this for four quarters, but they shut him 347 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: down entirely for the first half, and then Jimmy Graham 348 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: took over. They had Joe Hayden one on one with 349 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. I think Hayden was on a on him 350 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: like a blanket. But you can't win those one on 351 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: one matchups ten for one, eighteen and two touchdowns with 352 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. It really looked like this was a game 353 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: a case where the Saints were gonna creep back in 354 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: and just eventually do what you thought they would do 355 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: in an outlast Cleveland. But Hoyer his second game winning 356 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: drive in in four starts. That fifth one doesn't really 357 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: count for them in his career, and uh, he pulled 358 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: him through. And Mark doesn't like to toot the horn 359 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: too often, so I will do it for you. Mark 360 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: the Cleveland brown said Brian Hoyer, who we all kind 361 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: of agreed as a journeyman type play are at quarterback. 362 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: They have no Josh Gordon, they have no Jordan's Cameron, 363 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: and they knock off the Saints at home. So for 364 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: a tear super Bowl picks and yeah, a super Bowl contender, 365 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: which I still think even though their own two, they 366 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: still our team to be taken very seriously. The Brownses 367 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: are a lot of credit for how they've started this season, 368 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: even in the loss in week one, now win a 369 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: week two. They're certified frisky for me. In other words, 370 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: enough of the levelhead of analysis and just party baby, 371 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: Mark not partying. When I look at the box score, 372 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: the first question that comes to my mind is why 373 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: isn't Sean Payton saddling up mark ingram as a workhorse? Three? 374 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: He looked good, but I don't know. You look at 375 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: the Saints history and R. Peyton and he they always 376 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: have seemed uh reluctant to put one backpack there the other. 377 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: The other thing that sticks out is five point nine 378 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: yards per attempt for Drew Brees. So I obviously didn't 379 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: see this game. How does that happen? Well? Number one, 380 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: Harlow stands by earned his money. He he was all 381 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: over the place they were in there. I mean, you know, 382 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: Paul Krueger, who was a big disappointment last year, played 383 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: well in Week one and he did it again today. 384 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: He seems to be Petton's we thought would be Jabal 385 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 1: shared it looks like it's it's it's closer to being 386 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: Krueger right now, who's just been unleashed in the past. 387 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: Rush they were in breeze face all day long and 388 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,239 Speaker 1: a nice win for the Browns. But yeah, let's talk 389 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: about the Saints for one second before we move on. 390 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: We're a lot of people sucked in a little bit 391 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: about this defense being so great and the Saints being 392 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: different than other years. But so far, it looks like 393 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: the same team to me. Where their mediocre team on 394 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: the road, I expect when they go back home, they're 395 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: gonna kick somebody's But but is this the same Saints 396 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: team we've been seeing the last couple of years. I 397 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: don't think it's the same team, and I think it's 398 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: easy to overreact to the first two games, but I 399 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: will concede that they still have road problems and they 400 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: still have a defense where maybe that maybe the talent 401 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: on paper is and producing as it should well that 402 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: there they had never been a good road team under 403 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, really and they could be too, and oh, 404 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: very easily. There's not much difference in both of these 405 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: games between a win and a loss. But the problem 406 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: is there are two games behind the Panthers already, and 407 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: they're you know, chasing other teams for home field advantage. 408 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: So oh and two, even though I'm fully confident the 409 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: Saints will bounce back and be one of the top 410 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: seven or eight teams, that's still a pretty big hole 411 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: to jump out of. A definitely, especially when again when 412 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: you go think about offseason and preseason narratives that the 413 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: Panthers were in trouble and they're gonna come back to 414 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: the pack. Panthers look great, and so the Saints. Probably 415 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: If the Panthers are gonna win ten to twelve games, 416 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: the Saints got to figure out something to do. Now. 417 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: They got to go on a run. You know, it's 418 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: very early still, but it's not a good situation. And 419 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: one last thing, West and I picked them for the 420 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with taking the leap of faith that they 421 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: would have home field in the playoffs over a team 422 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: like Seattle too, because they're not gonna go win a 423 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: playoff game in Seattle. O and two does not bode 424 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: well for that. I'm not backing off that. How about 425 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: your asking you to back off and great start? Are 426 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: you admitting? Would you admit now West that Brian Hoyer 427 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: wasn't the worst idea to stardom week one? I know 428 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: we were all against that, but it seems like the 429 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: offense is working out okay so far? Didn't he average? Like, 430 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: wasn't he in the Gambert to him for this game? 431 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: He was at five yards per attempt in this game. 432 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: But but at least compared to where Manzel was at 433 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: in the preseason. They've been competitive, so yeah, I mean 434 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: that was they did. They've been competitive, that's all. And 435 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: since you brought up Manzel did get on the field, Mark, 436 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: what happened? I came on you know much bally who 437 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: it rolls in there and hands the ball off and 438 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: then he came in a series or two later and 439 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: through an incomplete pass. What's the purpose of that? Yeah, 440 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: that's so weird. I'm not the coach. I don't know, oh, 441 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: come on today. Issues. And and Brian Hoyer because he's 442 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Salts of the Earth, because he's you know, blue collar 443 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: to the bone. It's basically a Springsteen song come to life. 444 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: He said after the game. I wasn't happy to find 445 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: out that Manzel is involved in the game plan at all, 446 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: but I dealt with it. Yeah, I mean I think that, 447 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: as Wesleyan said, they've been you know, productive, when they 448 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: scored twenty six points without their best wide receiver, their 449 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: best tight end, and they're starting running back Mark, are 450 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: you happy today? Yes? Because I thought, as I said 451 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: to West before the game, I thought this would be 452 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: a forty six to three polishing. The Browns are a 453 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: legit option for the team of and they we're getting bad, 454 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: never getting past West, and I would run back the 455 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: Panthers bringing the Browns. There's no chance the factory of 456 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,959 Speaker 1: sadness more like factory of gladness. I just came up 457 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: with that. Let's move forward, idiot. So the Minnesota Vikings 458 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: did not have Adrian Peterson for their home opener in 459 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: the outdoors conditions in Minneapolis, Uh, they probably could have 460 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: used them. They got trounced trounced by the New England 461 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: Patriots and Tom Brady. Matt Castle did not show up 462 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: against his good buddy. Through four interceptions, Chandler Jones made 463 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: one of the more athletic plays you'll see, blocking a 464 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: field goal, scooping it up and then running it in 465 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: that basically ice the game before the half. Tom Brady 466 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: really did nothing for the second straight week fifteen forty 467 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: two yards and a touchdown, but he didn't need to. 468 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: The Patriots took care of business against an underman Minnesota team. 469 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: Patriots got all the brakes. Congratulations. I hate it when 470 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: people say congratulations to other fans around this offensite, as 471 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: if they did anything to contribute to the win. Whatever. 472 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: I don't take it personally when they lose, No my fault. 473 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: It's all just a vicarious journey. I don't know. I 474 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: didn't know how to feel about this game for a 475 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: while because it's you're just so used to as a 476 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: Patriots been watching the offense be explosive and move up 477 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: and down the field, and I just don't think that's 478 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: this offense right now. There are station to station offense 479 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: without explosive players. Gronkowski is not the same, but They 480 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: also showed today that they could be a team where 481 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: the playmakers on defense carry the way. All the big 482 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: playmakers are on defense. Chandler Jones was incredible, a couple 483 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: of sacks, beautiful, you know, field goal block. Dante high 484 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: Towers now playing a rush linebacker position sometimes defensive end 485 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: putting his hand on the ground, had a couple of 486 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: sacks today. Jared Mayo had a nice game. Logan Ryan Lockdown, 487 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: Cordurell Patterson for a lot of the day. Drell Rivas 488 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: had a really nice day. So all their best defense, 489 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: all their best players, I think, are hand in the dirt. 490 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: If you want the football experence, I thank you seriously. 491 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: You said hand on the grass. They like you say 492 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: dirt because that makes it pure foot only dirt if 493 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: they're playing at the Raiders stadium. I'm curious. I don't 494 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: take much from this game, to be honest with you. 495 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm curious about Rob Brown because you know, the Vikings 496 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: basically had their soul ripped out this week and now 497 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out. They're scrambling with Matt Castle 498 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: and get Teddy Bridgewater in there now right down the 499 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: field on the opening drive when eighty yards for a touchdown. 500 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: At first, it looked like it'd be competitive. Were you 501 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: concerning Mattiotta rumbled in with a twenty yard touch doesn't play. 502 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't getting excited about that. But my question was Gronk. 503 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: I mean, is this the situation where you think Gronk 504 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: is going to be limited for the season? Like, what 505 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: are you seeing when you watch him beca He wasn't explosive, Aulty, 506 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: didn't have a catch in the first half, didn't do 507 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: much in this game. I can tell you what Greg's 508 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: seen because he facetiously compared Gronk to Jake Ballard. Well, 509 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: my point was, all he's doing is running, running out 510 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: and catching eight yard passage. It's a good point because 511 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: Gronk has been their loan deep threat Edelman, guy that 512 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: goes yards down the field. He's not doing that now. 513 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: Edelman has six catches for eighth strade games, the longest 514 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: streak in the league. But it's not a great sign 515 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: that he's their most consistent weapon. They need more than that. 516 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: Gronk I think was on the field less this week 517 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: than he was last week, which is not an that's interesting. 518 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: Bills are in first place forward the Giants stink. Oh 519 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: my god, the Giant stink. I watched this game closely. 520 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: They had a fourteen thirteen league Drew Stanton in the 521 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Carson Palmer a late scratch uh to due 522 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: to a nerve issue, basically handing the Giants that went 523 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: on a silver platter and their home opener, and they 524 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: just butcher at fourteen thirteen uh Victor Cruz drops a 525 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: pass on a third down with eleven minutes to play. 526 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: They put the ball away. Ted Ginn returns it's for 527 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Ensuing kickoff, the Giants fumbled away. The Cardinals 528 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: get another field goal all of a sudden, it's fourteen. 529 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: They add another field Cardinals win after just a meltdown. 530 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: And it's exactly the type of meltdown that A is 531 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: gonna cause Tom Coughlin's head to explode and be is 532 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: what bad teams do. I've seen it for years following 533 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: the Jets, even the close games. Bad teams do things 534 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: like this, and that's why they're bad teams. How did 535 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: ELI player better? A lot better? That is the silver lining. 536 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: It was actually surprised how good he looked. He threw 537 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: an early interception and It looked to be the same, 538 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: same old Eli, but he ended up thirty nine seventy 539 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: seven yards two touchdowns. Really should have been better. The 540 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: Giants had five drops in the game, and Victor Cruz, 541 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: who you know, it's got to be quiet because he 542 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: spoke up this week and said he's got to get 543 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: me the damn ball essentially pulled the keyshon and then 544 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,719 Speaker 1: he had that bad drop that I mentioned. He had 545 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: a couple other balls that he could have gotten to. Uh, 546 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: this is a situation where he needs to play better 547 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: because there's not a lot around them. He's got to 548 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: be a star. How about Drew Stanton getting a win 549 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: on the road, just that didn't do much, just sat 550 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: and the best thing Drew did was get out of 551 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: the way, let Andrea Ellington do some work, who looks 552 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: very good despite that foot injury. He looked quick, look fast, 553 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: And basically all the Cardinals did was not mess up 554 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: and let the Giants do what this Giants team was 555 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: gonna do, which is blow the game. So Cardinals very 556 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: lucky to get out with the W. But that's what happens. 557 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how long the Ben mac Do experienced 558 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: last in New York if the Giants go three and 559 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: thirteen and Tom Coughlin is well ripped out of if 560 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: they don't have a winning record, Tom Coughlin is gonna 561 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: retire and then will be gone. It does I mean, 562 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't think there's that much doubt. There's no way 563 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: Coughlin could be there next year if they have a 564 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: losing record. It feels like a really um neat breaking point, 565 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: break off point after this season, because I do it 566 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: does seem like the Giants are family across the country. 567 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: This has a different feel of other Giants teams because 568 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: I know they started poorly last year too, right, and 569 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: well they only won seven games in the end. But 570 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: this team, it's just a terrible Monday performance and they 571 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: played awfully in the preseason and they don't have Odell 572 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: Beckham in the mix, and now that's a bad loss 573 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: at home. I don't know, I just things do not 574 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: look good in the middle ends with the Giants. Bill 575 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: Barnwell wrote an article three years ago outlining the at 576 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: the time, at least half a dozen times the Giants 577 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: had quit under Tom Coughlin. Right, he is a Giant 578 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: Giants backer, and that's why I wouldn't give up on 579 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: this team, even at oh and two, but bad division. 580 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: But I think the Cardinals deserve some credit. Bruce arians 581 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: he can coach my team anything. He's a good coach. 582 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean he's maxing them out. We say good bad 583 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: teams find ways to lose. They've just managed an early 584 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: part of the schedule where their home to San Diego 585 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: there in New York. They come out of that too, 586 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: and oh with Carson Parr missing a game, that's pretty impressive. 587 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: I will having watched both those games, I will say 588 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: that they're two and oh, but they're not too and 589 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: oh because they're they've had an amazing start to the season. 590 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: Either a couple of things gonna change. It could be 591 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: owned too. But you fake it till you make it. 592 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: Care like the Anti Saints. One thing. One thing to 593 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: point out to Patrick Peters and had a bit of 594 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: a rough game there. I don't know if he did. 595 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He actually got Eli was not afraid 596 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: to go at him. They got one touchdown on a 597 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: beautiful Ruben Randall catch and then Victor Cruse to cruise 598 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: his credit, he blew by Peterson, who grabbed him in 599 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: the end zone for a past interference. So not Patrick 600 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: Peterson's best game. How about Calais Campbell. I gotta watch this. 601 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: Ten tackles, three tackles for loss in a sack. Get 602 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: that guy in the Pro Bowl for once. Absolutely, that 603 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: is called active class. Campbell was active. That's what people say, 604 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: fingers in the dirt, active all words. Buzz I'd like 605 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: to put my two palms in the grass. Why did 606 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: you do? Swallow a dictionary before the game? Get buzzy, guys. 607 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: Here we go the Dallas Cowboys, who we all assume 608 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: there are not going to be a playoff team, and 609 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: they probably still won't be, but they had a nice 610 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: win today in Nashville. DeMarco Murray ran for a hundred 611 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: and sixty nine yards and a touchdown. Uh. They got 612 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: four field goals from Dan Balley. Tony Romo after last 613 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: week's terrible game against the Niners, was effective nineteen of 614 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: twenty for a hundred and seventy six yards in a 615 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: touch and the Cowboys get to one and one and 616 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: the Titans. That's that's a tough loss at home. You know, 617 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: that's how you open your season at home with the 618 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: loss to middling Cowboys team. I don't think the Titans 619 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: are very good, and I think they got exposed today. 620 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: Jake Locker had a seven point six passer rating at 621 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: halftime against the Dallas defense that everyone thought was gonna 622 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: be the worst in the NFL. The Cowboys, they look 623 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: like to have a defense running game going in this game, 624 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: at least anyway. DeMarco Murray looks as good as any 625 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: running back in the NFL, and really has since last season. 626 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: He looks phenomenal behind a good offensive line to the 627 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: offensive line is really good in the running game and 628 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: has been worked over in past protection West. Something jumps 629 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: out to me at the box score, maybe you could 630 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: shed some light on it. Sean Green and mccluster combined 631 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: for nine carries for seventy yards. How come they only 632 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: had nine carries if they're running the ball that well, 633 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure Sean Green got a single rush. After halftime, 634 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: they were down obviously, and they decided to pass. Basically 635 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: Sean Green came out of the lineup. I want to 636 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: just throw it out there that this Cowboys defense might 637 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: not be the worst defense in the league that we 638 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: all thought it because they were bad last year and 639 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: they had a bad offseason. But when I watched them 640 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: last week in San Francisco. I didn't think they were 641 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: that bad. I thought they were a below average defense, 642 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: but maybe maybe they got something in Rolando mclin here. 643 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: Just aren't very good about two weeks. Two weeks in 644 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: the season, Rolando McClain, is your defense, your comeback player 645 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: of the year in the NFL. He had another Yeah. 646 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: I think he led the team in tackles today, had 647 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: a sack, had an interception that might have been the 648 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: play of the day as far as circus kind of catch. 649 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: He looked really good. You know who probably won't be 650 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: the comeback player of the year of Chris Westling, Robert 651 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: Griffin the third well, I don't think there's any probable 652 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: about that transition. Uh. The Washington Redskins quarterback went out 653 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: with a dislocated ankle in Sundays win over the Jaguars. 654 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: He's out for a while. You would assume he gets 655 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: carded off with the injury. Kirk Cousin comes in and 656 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: is on fire initially. Anyway, finished twenty two thirty three 657 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: fifty yards and two touchdowns. Redskins, as I said, with 658 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: a blowout victory over Jaguars team which perhaps stinks. Maybe 659 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: they weren't. We thought maybe they'd be better this year, 660 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: at least with this current quarterback in the lineup. Blaine Gabbert, 661 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: excuse me, Chad Henny not exactly. Uh, maybe it doesn't matter. 662 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it's time Mark Sessler for the Blake Borders era 663 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: to begin. Well, I talk about a bitter sweet wind 664 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: for the Redskins because you lose r G three and 665 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: Sean Jackson potentially for some period of time. RG three 666 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: probably for the year. But then Cousins comes in, completes 667 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: his first twelve and honestly looks like a better fit 668 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: for this offense to me than what they were trying 669 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: to squeeze RG three into. Cousins looked fine to me. 670 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: He he did everything they could have asked him to do, 671 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: and he showed good chemistry right out of the gate 672 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: with everyone on the field. The Jaguars, they are a mess. 673 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: But I'm not sure putting Boardles in really changes things 674 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: because the problem is their offensive line. Two games in 675 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: a row, an absolute disaster. You know, Henny is not 676 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: He's no fireball. We don't love the guy, but at 677 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: the same time, there's not a whole lot the quarterbacks 678 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: can do in that situation ten sacks. Are you gonna 679 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback behind that offensive line? I don't think you can. 680 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: And and we had some sandwiches on that. I said 681 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: that Borders will be in by week three. I just 682 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: think they're gonna say what you just said, that's a risk. 683 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: And we mentioned our dark horse picks. I had the Fountons, 684 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: you picked the jack. So it sounds like Mark, you're 685 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: out for this team actually doing something this year. Well, 686 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, I based that on I also had Boordles 687 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: as the offensive rookie of the year. I loved what 688 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: I saw in the preseason. I thought they'd be tantalized 689 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: to put him in sooner than later. But again, when 690 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: you when you're when you're getting harassed the way quarterback 691 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: was today, I don't. I think it's a holding weight 692 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: on him. Well, let's not bury the lead here. The 693 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: Redskins fans got what they wanted. There are some some 694 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: that wanted Kirk Cousins to come in. There was there 695 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: was I don't know there at least was Joe Thiesman 696 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: got what he wanted, at least with Kirk Cousins. Chiff, 697 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: I guess I'm saying, really do is that really gonna 698 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: last long term. I mean, I don't think so. This 699 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: is I mean, this is the problem now for r 700 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: G three. And if you're a fan of r G 701 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: three or what his potential was or is um As West, 702 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: I know you and I feel that way for sure 703 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: because he was so exciting. Now he's in a bad spot. 704 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: Let's say he's ready in six weeks. I don't know, 705 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: who knows how. Probably Let's say he's able to come 706 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: back ankle by the time people listen to us. I 707 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: bet Ian Rappaport will ever boarded these outfs. All right. 708 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 1: Let's say he's out for the year, kirk Cousin gets 709 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: a full season, and if kirk Cousins plays well, r 710 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: G three no longer gets handed the job back automatically. 711 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: This might be the injury that really really hurts his 712 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: career in terms of what his future is with the Redskins. 713 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: It's kind of a bummer because, like, I love watching 714 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: the guy, but it just seems like he's maybe he 715 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: got a little bit of a curse on him or something. 716 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just sad to watch him get 717 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: cartered off the field waving sadly to the Redskins fans, 718 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 1: it's just the bummer. What do you do if you're 719 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 1: the Redskins? Kirk Cousins maybe has finishes the year twenty 720 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: five touchdowns, fifteen interceptions as I'll leave BOMPORI post to me, 721 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: what do you do? I mean, what if he looks 722 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,479 Speaker 1: like Andy Dalton and Jay Rudin's offense, I'll leave bomb 723 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: PORI works with us. By the way, I don't know 724 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: if anybody else knows who he is. Yes, no idea. 725 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: I think it's such a tough spot. It's it's it 726 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: is a really you have to give the job back 727 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: to r G three next year because of what are 728 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: you paid to get at him? It's it's really sad 729 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: could trade Cousins with Cousins three injury history. I mean, 730 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: right now we're looking at a guy that it was 731 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: offensive rookie of the year, the best rookie season by 732 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: any quarterback in NFL history, in the year that Andrew 733 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: luck was a rookie, and Russell Wilson and then a 734 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: guy who towards a c L had a disastrous second 735 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: year and his third year ends before it even started. 736 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: I really hope people don't kill Griffin for being lost 737 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: in the preseason one game. Who knows he might have 738 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: strafed the Jaguars today too. It's not I mean he 739 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: was on his way to and it's just such as 740 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: a leap of faith. It's such a bummer thought. Yeah, 741 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,919 Speaker 1: to that point, it's a Greg's point three actually looked 742 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: electric on that drive. He got hurt and it was 743 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: just so sad to seem stay down and go down 744 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: for so long. You could tell he was crying. He 745 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: could tell it wasn't hears and as a start sorted 746 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 1: sad sea. But real quick though, Brian Hoyer, Craic Cousins, 747 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 1: and the other Michigan State quarterback Drew stan all came 748 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: out victorious. So Michigan State QB. It seems like a 749 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: real reach there, But all right, go Spartan sparty on 750 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: and twelve seasons from now that will happen again. Give 751 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: grood In some credit, by the way, just because they 752 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: were without the Sean Jackson and Robert Griffin the third 753 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: and Jordan read and they just rolled it up. Was like, 754 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: didn't even matter, We move forward. Oh this one's a 755 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: little jaunty. I don't remember this one from time time. 756 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 1: Austin Davis came in at quarterback for the Rams, and 757 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: you would think all the Rams are done, They're going 758 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: to Tampa and ALUs of the Bucks. Did not work 759 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 1: out that way. Greg the Leg hits four field goals, 760 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: including a thirty eight yard or with thirty eight seconds 761 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: to play, leading the Rams to a nineteen seventeen win 762 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: over the Bucks. Game that had a wild ending where 763 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: Mike Evans while the Bucks are driving, goes down with 764 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: an injury right inside ten seconds. No time outs left 765 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: for the Bucks, so the referees blow the play dead 766 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 1: tense second run off game over, crushing way to lose. 767 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: One of our editors who's a Bucks fan, jumped up 768 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: and screamed in the newsroom, to the point where our 769 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: boss Marvel had to look at and be like, yo, bro, 770 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: take it down and not you're pro, but that's I mean, 771 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: that's a tough loss for any uh any Bucks fan 772 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: or the Bucks. So now the Den Bay Bucks not 773 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: looking good after losing to the Rams. Who stink? I 774 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: just like to note that I uh on I am 775 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: over the weekend convinced Dan not to pick up Bobby 776 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: Rainey in fantasy, who rumbled for a hundred and forty 777 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: four yards today, so thank you. So I'm going to 778 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: take a through the air too, so it would be 779 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: one seventy Good job, buddy. But we did pick up 780 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: that Brown's running back kraw Well, Yeah, he had a 781 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: good game. L is a deep sleeper, but I failed 782 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: this week. He's a lot more talented than Bobby Rainey. 783 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: Yes he is, that was my premise, But uh not 784 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: on the field today. Josh McCown, who had the bad 785 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: game last week not didn't put any big numbers out 786 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: there again. Seventy nine yards were worried about Josh mc 787 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 1: town being able to lead this team to anything. He 788 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: had one of the worst interceptions of the week after 789 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: having one of the worst interceptions ever last year. They 790 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,240 Speaker 1: ran the ball so effectively in this game. He played 791 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: well for a lot of the game. If if they 792 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: didn't have that crazy ending and kicked the field goal 793 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: to win it, we'd be talking about the throw he 794 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 1: made to Mike Evans on that play that would have 795 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: set up a fifty yard attempt. No gimme. I don't 796 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: think McCown was really the problem today, but the fact 797 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: that they've lost two games at home to start the year, 798 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: and one of them was to Austin Davis. I mean, 799 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: that's as bad a start as you could have. That's 800 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: a crazy rule. Mike Evans goes down with about fifteen 801 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: seconds left on the clock and they they let it 802 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 1: run for seven more seconds before they I don't know that. 803 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: I didn't sit well with me. Well, it's tricky. It 804 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: doesn't sit well with me either, But how are they 805 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: didn't know that he's unable to play? Basically, it's it's 806 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: a weird sort of gray area that he then was saying, like, 807 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: I can't line up for this next snap, and by 808 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: the time they actually ran up to the spot to 809 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: get there there then at that point there was I'd 810 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: like to see a a bit better judgment out of 811 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: the line crew. I wish you could review that. You can't. Um. 812 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: I do want to say Austin Davis, like we're making 813 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: fun of him in the RAMS. Think he made some 814 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: really nice throws in this game. I mean, and in 815 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: the throw he made to Austin Pettis to set up 816 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: the game winning field goal was one of the players 817 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,720 Speaker 1: of the day on third down was very clutch. Austin 818 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,359 Speaker 1: Davis deserves a little lost. We will clip TV. Can 819 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: you clip that and send that to Austin Davis his 820 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: mother and let her know that. Greg Rosenthal, he was 821 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: extremely fired up on the sidelines post. Yes, he was. 822 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: Body language language. It was too much flag. His teammates 823 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: are kind of like, dude coming down, you know, relaxed 824 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: he was, he was. We buried this team. Nice little 825 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: win for Austin Davis. Let's move forward. Hayton Manning finished 826 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: two yards and three touchdowns, leading the Denver Broncos to 827 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,800 Speaker 1: a win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The Chiefs, 828 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: obviously by the score you can tell, made a game 829 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: of it. Terrence Knighton knocked away fourth and goal pass 830 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: from Alex Smith to Dwayne Bow with fifteen seconds left 831 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: to preserve the win. So the Broncos gonna win. They 832 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: moved to tow and oh but as we alluded to 833 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 1: at the top of the show, not I'm not blown 834 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 1: away by the Broncos start here, and we shouldn't be 835 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: too excited about them at this stage, right, Yeah, they weren't. 836 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: It wasn't an overwhelming performance at all on offense. A 837 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,720 Speaker 1: lot of it had to do with in the second 838 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: half the Chiefs, and I find them very hard to 839 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 1: watch They put together a nineteen play drive to kick 840 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: off the third quarter to ten minutes off the clock. 841 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: This is meant to be their statement to get back 842 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: into this game. And they miss a field goal? Are 843 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: you kidding me? And they basically they never took a 844 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: lead after that. You know, Kansas City is not built two. 845 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: As I said to Chris, they're built to win games 846 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: ten to nine. What did you say, they're built to 847 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: lose games one to ten. I mean that didn't happen today, 848 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: but it wasn't far from that happening. And you know, 849 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: Denver did. Denver did what it needed to do to 850 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: to take care of business. I think Denver's defense is 851 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 1: probably going to have to play a much larger role 852 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: this season than they did last season. But it's one game, 853 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: and uh, Denver is still a team that can go 854 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: off for thirty points. I think if they get hot, well, 855 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: Chief's got that Chargers recipe from last year. Eight drives 856 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: a piece for the entire game for both teams. The 857 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs out gained Denver. The Chiefs had three hundred and 858 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: eighty yards in the game. I'm kind of amazing. And 859 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: Jamal Charles went out with an ankle injury early, so 860 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: Nile Davis came in and did a good job. I 861 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: think that Alex Smith continues to be underrated for his ability. 862 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: They kept running rushing three men and he's scrambling around 863 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 1: all over the place, making plays with his feet, extending plays. 864 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: But it's not enough. They've got no weapons. Yo, Andy Reid, 865 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: you have a weapon. Travis Kelsey used him more well, 866 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: they are he let but he also played about half 867 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: the snaps. He needs to play a lot more snaps 868 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: than Fassano if Charles is out for a while. I 869 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: mean not that this Chiefs was looking good right now 870 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,720 Speaker 1: at two anyways, but this was a better perfect Everything 871 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: went right for them last year. Week after week, the 872 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,919 Speaker 1: scenarios continued to go in their direction. The opposite this year, 873 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,439 Speaker 1: moving forward to New York, Jets went to Green Bay 874 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,799 Speaker 1: and lambeau Field looking for the upset, and it looked 875 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: very good for fans of Gang Green. They jumped out 876 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: to a fourteen nothing lead and a twenty one three lead, 877 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,919 Speaker 1: but it all seemed almost uh you know, you could 878 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: see it in the stars it coming. The Packers started 879 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: shipping away. It was seen by the half. By the 880 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: end of the game, it was the Packers win. Aaron 881 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: Rodgers through for three touchdowns and Jordi Nelson just went 882 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 1: off with two d nine yards receiving on nine catches. 883 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: I think he was targeted fifteen times or sixteen times 884 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: by Aaron Rodgers, which is a record for Aaron Rodgers 885 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: targeting any receiver in his NFL career. Uh. The big 886 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: controversy not so much a controversy, but the play that 887 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: well Jet Spins will remember this game. By trailing by 888 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,760 Speaker 1: seven with five minutes to play, Gino Smith hits Jeremy 889 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: Curley for a thirty yard touchdown to tie the game, 890 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: or you would think tie the game, but it ends 891 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,760 Speaker 1: up right before the snap, offensive coordinator Marty morning Wig 892 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: was calling for a time out. Sheldon Richardson yelled it 893 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 1: into the referees ear who the referee isn't sure if 894 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 1: it was coming from Rex Ryan, who is the only 895 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,280 Speaker 1: man who can call time out, so he calls time out. Anyway, 896 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,439 Speaker 1: the plays negated. The Jets ends up getting a first down, 897 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: but then turning it over on downs and they never 898 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,760 Speaker 1: got the ball back, crushing way to lose for the Jets. 899 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: Same old story, a classics, same old Jets loss. And 900 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 1: I'm spent. Yeah you you kept saying the words no 901 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: one knows what it's like to be a Jets fan today. Yeah, 902 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: because well, I feel like while they are tortured franchises 903 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,720 Speaker 1: and Mark, you certainly root for one of them, and 904 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: and West used to root for one yourself. But the 905 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 1: Jets are very good at the crazy type losses that 906 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: where they are so great at snapping defeat out of 907 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 1: the jaws of victory, and they find different ways to 908 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,280 Speaker 1: do it. And being a Jets fan is remembering games 909 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: by devastating moments. So, like I said, you could ask 910 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: a real Jet van forty years and now about the 911 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: Packers game Uh in two thousand fourteen, though, be able 912 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: to tell you immediately what happened and what Sheldon Richardson 913 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: was doing, because it becomes one of those not at 914 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: the level I would say of the fake spike or 915 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: something like that, but the same type of thing, like 916 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 1: a wild loss under mysterious circumstances, just a terrible, terrible game. 917 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: And I will say Gino Smith uh for all the 918 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 1: credit he deserved. Early in the game, he started the 919 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: first three drives eight for ten eighty nine yards and 920 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He ran a touchdown in and he had 921 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,280 Speaker 1: never looked better in the last nine drives eight eighty 922 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: seven yards and a pick according to ESPN Stats, so 923 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: he really tailed off. Eric Decker pulled a hamstring he 924 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: missed the end of the game, which didn't help. Mohammed 925 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: Wilkerson got booted from the game, ejected for fighting after 926 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 1: a Patriots two point conversion, So it all kind of 927 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: crumbled for the Jets, who are now one in one 928 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: and the Packers get to one. I heard a lot 929 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 1: of chatter downstairs during this game about the Jets as 930 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: a potential team of at L. Where are we with 931 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 1: that it's wiped out, it's over. They needed to win 932 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: that game because to take this Jets team seriously, I 933 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 1: felt like they needed to go into Green Bay make 934 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: the statement, and they got so close to doing it. 935 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: But like I said, the Jets know how to blow 936 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: things like nobody else, and they really blew this one. 937 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: Eric Decker's hamstring injury kills that too. Because I do 938 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: not want to watch a wide receiver corps with Jeremy 939 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: Curley and David Nelson. Trust me, you're not alone with 940 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,800 Speaker 1: that was he looked like a true number one. Uh 941 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: before he heard the heard the hamstring. Do you know 942 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: Smith had a beautiful deep ball uh to Decker for 943 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: a long touchdown in the first quarter. Uh So everything 944 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,399 Speaker 1: everything kind of turned by the middle of the second 945 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: quarter or so. So the Jets are one and one 946 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: and the Packers, let's face it, they needed this and 947 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: they're there. They were this close to losing and Lambeau. 948 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: You know, I I I think there should be some costs. 949 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,400 Speaker 1: Are concerned why you would be out getting off to 950 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,359 Speaker 1: a slow start despite embarrassing loss and on the road 951 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: to start the season, But you know they more than 952 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 1: made up for it. And Aaron Rodgers, you know, he's 953 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: just the fun guy to watch, uh one to get 954 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,160 Speaker 1: I guess I don't know whether in West we talked 955 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,399 Speaker 1: about this downstairs, whether to put anything into it. But 956 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: maybe it's just back to back bad opponents. But Eddie 957 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,879 Speaker 1: Lacey did not really do anything for the second straight week, 958 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: thirteen touches for forty. You can't run on the Jets 959 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 1: defense now, so maybe it's just an issue of his opponents. 960 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: We do have to read into Jordy Nelson two nine 961 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 1: yards though he needs to be I think he's where 962 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: he's been for the last two years. He's right in 963 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: that five eight range. Yeah. He burned D Millner on 964 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: a post route for eighty yards and a score. It 965 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 1: was the biggest play of the game. And you know, 966 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: it just shows that, you know, you don't give him 967 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: credit enough for being fast and having great hands and 968 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,319 Speaker 1: being an absolute complete wide receiver. And the numbers today 969 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: were outrageous. But D Milliner telling people at he'st the 970 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: number one corner only in the Milliner household. Yeah, see, 971 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean he should have never said that he was 972 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,479 Speaker 1: worked back into the lineup, didn't start today, But yeah, 973 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: that was a stupid thing and he deserves to be mocked. 974 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 1: We moved to Oakland, where the Raiders look every bit 975 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,720 Speaker 1: as bad as we all expected them to be. Arian 976 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 1: Foster ran for a hundred and thirty eight yards and J. J. 977 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: Watt caught a one yard touchdown pass. I need to 978 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: see the review of that. I have replay that I 979 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: have not seen it yet. But the Texans cruise to 980 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: a thirty four teen lead, just as Derek Carr did 981 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: a week earlier through a late touchdown pass to make 982 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: it look closer. But this game was not closed. The 983 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: Houston Texans dominated to get to two and oh so 984 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 1: a nice started by the Texans, and the Raiders are 985 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: o and two and going nowhere fast. I'm not sure 986 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 1: we'll go through J. J. Watt's career in its entirety 987 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 1: where he scores a touchdown but doesn't show up in 988 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 1: the defensive statistical sheet, didn't have a sack. I don't 989 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 1: like that, by the way, because I made a sandwich 990 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,720 Speaker 1: proposition that Watt would have more sacks than von Miller 991 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 1: and DeMarcus were combined. And I believe West. You said 992 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 1: that the two Denver players had two sacks today and 993 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: my defensive end tackle had a touchdown catch, But that 994 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 1: doesn't help. I'm sure he'll be back. They didn't need 995 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: him to do much Oakland. You know, it's hard to 996 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 1: look at the Raiders and I feel for the fan 997 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: base because it's so clear that this entire franchise from 998 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: the top down is going to be utterly recycled, uh 999 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 1: sooner than later. There's just nothing about the team. And 1000 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,799 Speaker 1: I'm talking about poor Derrek cart trying. It's hard to 1001 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: measure his his success or his development when he's got 1002 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 1: nothing around him, and they filled this team with old, 1003 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: aging veterans. None of them are making the impact you'd 1004 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 1: hope for. They're a lost ship. So if you're building 1005 00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: a team, it's not a good idea to let two 1006 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: of your best talents go on the free agent market, 1007 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: restock with a bunch of thirty year olds, signed the 1008 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 1: weakest arm in the NFL, and then declared to everyone 1009 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: that you're a playoff team. That might be the lesson 1010 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 1: that we would take from this. Charles Woodson's take on 1011 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:50,399 Speaker 1: it after the game we suck. I'd say he's being 1012 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: mild is Can we get excited a little bit about 1013 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: the Texans yet or do we need to see him 1014 00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 1: beat Sometimes? I'm excited about I was excited about about 1015 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 1: him out there the first week. I you know, you 1016 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 1: go out and you get Fitzpatrick and that's instantly you 1017 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,880 Speaker 1: could criticize that out of the gate, except if games 1018 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: go the way today's when he did exactly what Bill 1019 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 1: O'Brien wanted from that kind of a signing. He game managed. 1020 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: They got a great arian. Foster is back entirely. He 1021 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 1: had like yards before the half. He looks faster to me, 1022 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 1: he looks driven. Andre Johnson continues to make plays. You know, 1023 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot around Fitzpatrick. That's the difference between him 1024 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: and Derek Carr and other quarterbacks on bad team. And 1025 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 1: there's a defense, and there's a schedule. That's the thing 1026 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,359 Speaker 1: I like the best about the Texans being in this 1027 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 1: for a little while is their schedule. Well, we always 1028 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: said we thought one of these a f C South 1029 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 1: teams outside of Indy would maybe creep up. We didn't 1030 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 1: know which only after two weeks, small sample size, but 1031 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 1: the Texans are a good Texas are going to be 1032 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: fighting for that division. Maybe still have your little Chargers 1033 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: in your Cardinals and your Browns for team of a 1034 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 1: t L. Give me the Texans. We will talk about 1035 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: that Wednesday, because the Texans desided to be in the conversation. 1036 00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 1: And now to the final game of Sunday. We go 1037 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: to Santa Clara. The opening of Levi's Stadium is supposed 1038 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 1: to be a great welcome for the Niners and the 1039 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: first victory. It looked like it was heading that way, 1040 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 1: a seven lead over the Bears heading into the fourth quarter, 1041 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,520 Speaker 1: but then disaster struck. Colin Kaepernick throws two interceptions, they 1042 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 1: all lead to points for the Bears, puts them ahead 1043 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 1: the Niners have a last gas drive. On fourth down, 1044 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick looks to the end zone off the fingertips 1045 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 1: of Michael Crabtree. Win for the Bears. A huge win 1046 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 1: for the Bears. Despite missing some guys with injuries that 1047 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 1: got hurt during the game, banged up wide receivers, they 1048 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 1: go to San Francisco and get the win. What a 1049 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 1: huge win for the Bears. What a huge implosion by 1050 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: the forty. Can't believe this game happened as it did. 1051 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,239 Speaker 1: They the forty Niners didn't take advantage of nearly enough 1052 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,720 Speaker 1: opportunities in the first half. They should have been winning 1053 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,800 Speaker 1: by thirty and I mean they were up. But even 1054 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 1: despite that, they were up twenty to seven going into 1055 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,320 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. And it took those two fourth quarter 1056 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,399 Speaker 1: interceptions that Dan talked about, and those are just half 1057 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 1: of his turnovers. He also lost a fumble and that 1058 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: an interception in the first half, so a fourth turnover game. 1059 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: This is the game tape you submit when you make 1060 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: the argument for weather. Colin Kaepernick is a top ten 1061 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 1: level quarterback because this is a game where he's all 1062 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: over the place, where he's making big plays every once 1063 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 1: in a while with his arms, and his legs, but 1064 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: then he makes the bad turnovers and he's just he's 1065 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 1: not able to get his team over the hump. The 1066 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,240 Speaker 1: table was set. You know, the Bears average one point 1067 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 1: three yards per play before their final scoring drive. In 1068 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 1: the first half, they were completely in nipped. It looked like, 1069 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, Brandon Marshall looked healthier than all Sean Jeffrey, 1070 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 1: but forty Niners quarterbacks were just hugged up against those 1071 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 1: guys challenging them to make plays. Marshal though, by the 1072 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,120 Speaker 1: end of the night three touchdowns. Man, it's like he 1073 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 1: just does what he does. But the Bears, they stole 1074 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,800 Speaker 1: this thing out of out of thin air. What a 1075 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 1: wacky there's so many whacky stats in this game. That 1076 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 1: the Bears won with twenty one yards from Matt fourth day, 1077 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,320 Speaker 1: or how about Jake Cutler bear deep in the Gabbard 1078 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: zone five point two yards pertend, but he has four 1079 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 1: touchdowns And so they didn't move the ball all night 1080 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 1: and they somehow go to Santa And the Bears are 1081 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,360 Speaker 1: not a favorite of the around the NFL team team. 1082 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,160 Speaker 1: I know, we haven't really gotten behind them as a 1083 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 1: team that we took seriously in the NFC, and maybe 1084 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,920 Speaker 1: this is a game similar situations and some of the 1085 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 1: games earlier we're talking about UH with the Cardinals that 1086 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:24,880 Speaker 1: the Niners gave this one away. But he got to 1087 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 1: give the Bears credit. They were going uphill in the 1088 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,360 Speaker 1: first half. They looked like they were doing nothing. Clearly 1089 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,720 Speaker 1: didn't have al Shan Jeffrey at full capacity, but Brandon 1090 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 1: Marshall had the three touchdowns but just forty eight yards receiving. 1091 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: H They lost some guys to injury during the games, 1092 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,280 Speaker 1: including Peano Tillman who has a potentially serious arm injury. 1093 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: UH lose Chris Conti to a shoulder injury, and they persevere. 1094 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 1: This is like a really big win for this franchise 1095 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,080 Speaker 1: and it sets their season in a really good direction. 1096 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,840 Speaker 1: It's one of those wins that we should remember in 1097 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 1: December when the forty Niners are scratching inclined for a 1098 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 1: playoff spot. Are they you know, they're trying to win 1099 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: a division against the Seahawks and you think back to 1100 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 1: Week two when they just blew a game that they 1101 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: had or maybe they're trying to just sneak into the 1102 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,880 Speaker 1: playoffs because the Cardinals are still ahead of them. The 1103 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 1: first place all by themselves, the Arizona Cards, and that's 1104 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 1: what they play next week, so that suddenly becomes the game. 1105 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 1: It was a must win games in week three, but 1106 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 1: you gotta take care of business. Stinging loss for the Niners. 1107 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,319 Speaker 1: And Greg excited, overly excited because just last week he 1108 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: was down just playing down my three hero picks, and 1109 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: now he gets a hero pick with this game, and 1110 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,520 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's a big deal. I didn't 1111 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 1: say anything over your face. I gotta I gotta pair 1112 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: of hero picks today, see you, even you're still behind me. 1113 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm just look at the overall standings. That's what I'm 1114 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 1: worried about, right alright. So anyway, that is it for 1115 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,319 Speaker 1: Sunday's edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. We will 1116 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,120 Speaker 1: be back on Wednesday, uh to go over all the news. 1117 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,719 Speaker 1: Hopefully will be a better week of things to talk 1118 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 1: about this upcoming week, though I suspect it might not be, 1119 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 1: but we will be talking about the team of a 1120 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,439 Speaker 1: t L will get into that a little bit more 1121 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 1: and get ready for Thursday and football in week three. 1122 00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 1: It's just that keeps rolling now that season started. So 1123 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,360 Speaker 1: thank you for listening, and we'll be back. This is 1124 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 1: Dan Hansons signing off for the Boss, the Mailman, the Sizzler, 1125 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 1: and of course I just forgot for a second there 1126 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:25,640 Speaker 1: d D behind the glass Until Wednesday, I was gonna 1127 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 1: say it with the Max
