1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL podcast. He's trying to outlast Brady's career. 2 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: From the Chris Blessling podcast studio, It's the Round the 3 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: NFL podcast, Dan Hands this year joined by Greg Rosenthal. 4 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: It is the flagship program, Greg. Week three Sunday is 5 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: in the books and we are here to recap all 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: of it. And it was a interesting Sunday here, Greg. 7 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's interesting if your voice makes it to 8 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: the end here, you put some honey in, you're drinking 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: some tea. I'm more concerned now than it was a 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: minute ago after hearing it. But it does feel like 11 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: the season kind of started today, just as like a 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: bigger picture of you you know, I do that sometimes 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: right at the beginning. You like that. Okay, Steelers one 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: and two, Chiefs one and two, Patriots one and two, 15 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Seahawks one and two, Like these are some you know 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: bucks get a loss. Uh, these are some you know, 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: teams that have been regularly in the playoffs, are big 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: name teams under five now, some with concerning losses, some 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: less so. And it's like okay, now, okay, now we're 20 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: starting to sink our teeth into things. That was the 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: point I was going to get into but you're helping 22 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: me with my voice. No Mark Cessler here of course. 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: Um and if you saw on Twitter, uh this morning, 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: Mark gave a little update on his situation. He's continue 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: to have some of those issues, healthy issues that it 26 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: occurred last month and they're back this month. So we're 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: without Mark now for our second show and hopefully we'll 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: have him back in the not too distant future. Um, 29 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: but time will tell. But Mark's doing okay. We're in 30 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: contact with him. He's getting better now, Am I getting better? 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. We're gonna see. I got a lot 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: of podcasting to do today and a lot of games 33 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: to get to. And yeah, you set it up well there, 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: because the fact that the Bucks got humbled I think 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: was their first loss since what November. Yeah, the Chiefs 36 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: get beat again. I mean, those are the top two 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: teams in foot ball. Everybody kind of sees them that way, 38 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: and it feels like maybe things aren't that way. Maybe 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: they're like you're saying, there's a person The personality of 40 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: the season is starting to come into focus in week 41 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: three and we're gonna go through every single game including yes, 42 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: I know, I know our fans really do love the 43 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: Kicker Club. I hear about it all the time and 44 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: my mentions, and this was the most important night in 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: the history of the Kicker Club in terms of just 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: like the night's just starting. Yeah, just like the scope 47 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: of the celebration is at a level that it's almost 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: impossible to kind of put it in perspective. I mean, 49 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: as we're taping this, I feel like it's just going off. 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: Tucker's in the corner and U. It's gonna be a 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: long night. It's gonna be a lot of a lot 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: of fun. It's like I remember being at ray Lewis's 53 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: final game when the Ravens uh outlasted the forty Niners 54 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and being in the locker room, 55 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: and you know, all the all the journal journals, all 56 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: the other teammates, everyone was crowded around the corner of 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: the locker room for ray Lewis, and he was just 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: slowly unpeeling the tape off his arms and taking off 59 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: his like knee strap and and just quietly reflecting on 60 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: a career. Um well done. I think that's Tucker right 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: now with the Kicker Club. It's good we can get 62 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: some of our Tucker talk out now because I think 63 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: we do have Kevin Patrick coming at you with another 64 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: gut punch of all gut punch Lions losses later, So 65 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe we don't need to Patrick back on 66 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: the podcast. And it's one of those sad Lions games 67 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: that really the Lions do worse slash better than anyone. 68 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, a lot of games to get to, and 69 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna dig into it right now, starting yes with 70 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: the game that went on just across the sidewalk from us, 71 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: where the defending champs went down. Staffer keeps his rings 72 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: out the line, third down intent, we all protected, steps 73 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: up launchers, keep down the right numbers all alone. Jackson 74 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: over the shoulder at the thirty, he leaves his way 75 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: through the end zone. Touchdown l seventy five yards. Welcome 76 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: home to Sean Jackson. There he is our buddy J. B. 77 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: Long with the call ESPN Radio Long Long, DJ Long 78 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson. Touchdowns. Enjoy them, savor them, treasure them. Even 79 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: we only get a couple every year, but they're always spectacular. 80 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford went off throwing four touchdowns, including that rainbow 81 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: to d Jacksons. The Rams kind of had their way 82 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: with the Bucks. Win over the Champs. Greg being the 83 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: best team in football in late September doesn't really mean 84 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: much in the big picture, but I think that might 85 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: be where the Rams stand right now. Yeah, I mean 86 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: they gotta you gotta give him the respect on the 87 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: power rankings. Later this week we'll find out. But it 88 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: makes sense. You beat the Champs, you beat him convincingly, 89 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: you do it in a game where I'm almost having 90 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: a hard time taking a big picture takeaway other than 91 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: man Jackson's got that Deshan Jackson still got that juice, 92 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: not just on that seventy year touch done, but on 93 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: another throw up the sideline where he just goes zero 94 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: to blinding in a couple of seconds. So I don't know, 95 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: he might have a few more of these types of 96 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: days because Matthew Stafford is so well protected. That's That's 97 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: probably my biggest takeaway is that the difference between Brady 98 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: and Stafford today was there was nothing the Buccaneers defense 99 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: could do to bother Matthew Stafford. It's not the running games. 100 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: Neither team had a running game until the fourth quarter, 101 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: when the Rams were just starting to running out the clock. 102 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: Here Stafford on third and long, just as like patting 103 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: the ball and Todd Bowls is trying to send blitzes. 104 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: That doesn't work. He's trying to not send blitz is. 105 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: That doesn't work either. You lose Jamal Dean in this game. 106 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: That's two of their starters in the secondary, a position 107 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: that at cornerback where you felt like they were already 108 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: thin and it was just felt like guys are open. 109 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: And Stafford, uh can find the guys that are open. 110 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: He can deliver it to any part of the field. 111 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: And at one point they had I think sixth straight 112 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: scoring possessions. It is the first time in Sean mcveigh's 113 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: coaching career where that happened, and you did it against 114 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: the Bucks. It's amazing. Pretty good. That is pretty good. 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean, this is exactly what it was kind of 116 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: advertised as going into the season that this would revitalize 117 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh and his attack and and revitalize Matthew Stafford 118 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: and kick his career into this like next stage and 119 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: maybe to a much higher plane. And yet doing against 120 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: the Bucks is really special, and you know they actually 121 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: things started off okay um. Stafford started one for six 122 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: um and they were mostly miss throws. That's sort of 123 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: a reminder to just how much open guys they were. 124 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: It was about four miss throws in that one for 125 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: six and then he went nuts, and like you said, 126 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: they score on the next six drives. And I think 127 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: with the with the Bucks, yeah, you're a little concerned 128 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: about the defense. Can they hold up in a big 129 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: spot against a true contender like the Rams? Not today? 130 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: And then I think it's it's time to get a 131 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: little bit worried about their running game. And I know 132 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is in the doghouse right now, but they 133 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: had thirty five yards total. Brady was the team's leading rusher. 134 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: That's Tom Brady, forty year old Tom Brady fourteen yards. 135 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: So Brady is continuing to be indestructible. He won two touchdowns, 136 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: added a rushing score. But that's not really what you 137 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: want to do. I don't care how good Brady is. 138 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: You want to have some balance in there and the 139 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: and the Bucks don't have it. They don't they don't 140 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: have it. They didn't have Antonio Brown. But to me, 141 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: it's more Brady trying to keep up with this defense. 142 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: Once they got deeper into the game, you felt like 143 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: when the Rams made a stop and you give her 144 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: Heem Morris some credit. You give Aaron Donna. Leonard Floyd 145 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: made a play they always have, like a role player 146 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: makeup play. Kenny Young made a couple of nice plays 147 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: in this game. They've done enough defensively. Los Angeles has 148 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: whereas Tampa Like, yes, it's gonna be there with the 149 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: greatest passing games in the league, and I'm not too 150 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: worried about them in general, but they need a little more. 151 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: The pass rush has quietly been mediocre all three weeks, 152 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: So it wasn't just the fact that j PP wasn't 153 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: there today. Today they stepped up in class in terms of, 154 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, the offense that they were facing. I know 155 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: they had Dallas week one. They've had some tough matchups, 156 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: but they just they weren't Sniff and Stafford pretty one sided. 157 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: And because Tom Brady got to four thirty two, I 158 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: don't know what the number is, but it's well under 159 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: a hundred yards. Tom Brady will become the all time 160 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: leading passer Erica next week Sunday Night in Foxborough, unless 161 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: he gets injured in the first quarter. I can't think 162 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: of like anything like it is just gonna be such 163 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: of just a flame thrower of the like Gillette or 164 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: where No it's hot, it's not gonna standing when it's done. Well, yeah, 165 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: we'll get we'll get to the Pats. But this, yeah, 166 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: this was about the worst way that they could go 167 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: into it, because the Bucks will be they're they're a 168 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: champion and they're gonna be licking their wounds and ready 169 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: to bounce back angry Bucks team Tom Brady, who's already 170 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: known for having laser focus that no other athletes ever 171 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: had in the NFL. I, yeah, I don't like your 172 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: team's chances next week. Yeah, well, we don't need to 173 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: get to that. It's gotta it's gotta get pumped up, 174 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: like push back that conversation until it's gone. But it's 175 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: going to pop up. It's a week from today. And 176 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: by the way, good job by the Westling brothers, whoa 177 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: locking up. Oh that's nice locking up the Rams to 178 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: beat the defending champs. Yeah they were in their building, um, 179 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: the Rams, but still to beat Tom Brady and the 180 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: Bucks who were two and oh and had it lost 181 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: in forever. That's a nice. Last quick thing is that 182 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: the Rams crowd is a thing. It's almost like they 183 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: were lucky they would never of course say this, and 184 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: they and it's not really true, but it's almost perfect 185 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: that they're entering the stadium with Stafford. You know, they've 186 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: done a great job. The Rams really have to be 187 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: given credit. You know, the personnel moves that they made, 188 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: they're all paying off right now on both sides of 189 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: the ball, what they did this offseason, but also that 190 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: they got this stadium bill. They slowly built this fan 191 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: base up even more than when they got here five 192 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: years ago. Was six years ago with Jeff Fisher, and 193 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: that place was rocking. It was a real home field advantage. 194 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: And I think that's something we wondered about. Lakisha Westling 195 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: was in there having a great time, saying it was 196 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: just going bananas, and they they delivered her a great 197 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: That's the optimistic way to look at it. You could 198 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: also say, oh, so they used for like three decades 199 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: Los Angeles is a pawn and leverage to get teams 200 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: to build stadiums instead of giving Los Angeles professional football 201 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: throughout the end of the nineties too. There there's a 202 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: lot of missteps along, but I just say for this 203 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: current Roys organization, man, it just does feel like they 204 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: timed this perfectly with the with the fans in the crowd, 205 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: and I was impressed. I was a little surprised just 206 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: how how loud it wasn't there in another big game 207 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: for Cooper Cup Um that is a lethal connection Stafford 208 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: to cup Let's check in on the other Super Bowl 209 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: fifty four participant takes the snap, this is the game. 210 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes now retreating, climbing the pocket, lets it fly toward 211 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: the left. It is going to reach the end zone. 212 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: And that isn't complete in the Chargers win no flags. 213 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: The Chargers come into Arrowhead, force four turnovers and get 214 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: out with a thirty lead. I'm a money smith. It 215 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: was because the Chargers defense stonewallt Patrick Mahomes in the 216 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: final quarter and Justin Herbert through four touchdown passes, including 217 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: the game winner you heard there, like to Mike Williams, 218 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: and win at Arrowhead. Herbert outplayed Mahomes in a game 219 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: that felt like a statement of intent by the Chargers 220 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: and great. We know that Justin Herbert is a savage 221 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: in the pocket, but according to his head coach, there's 222 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: another way to describe him. Clearly, we need to Um 223 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: have it be even a bigger emphasis because we can't 224 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: play like we're fortunate we have a you know, a 225 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: gangster quarterback, um, but we got a coach better a 226 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: gangster quarterback. And and Brandon Staley, who I thought really 227 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: did a nice job in this game and in general 228 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: seems to have his finger on the pulse of his 229 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: offense and his quarterback more specifically that there were multiple points, 230 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: including at the you know, the most important important juncture 231 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: of the game, where he could have been a little 232 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: bit more conservative, but he said no, I'm gonna put 233 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: my faith and Justin Herbert, who he said for the 234 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: second straight week was the best player on the field, 235 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: and Herbert did not let him down. And he said 236 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: Mike Williams was the second best that was close behind 237 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: him and Mike Williams because one and two he is 238 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: embracing this new role. You love to see players put 239 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: in a position to maximize their skills and just that 240 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: like Mike Williams the same player that he was the 241 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: last four years, but now he's a way more productive. 242 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: And you have to look at coaching as as the 243 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: number one reason if you win the turnover back although 244 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: forward and nothing and the Chiefs have been pretty sloppy, 245 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: including Mahomes with the ball this year, like you better win. 246 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean they want they want turnovers forward and nothing. 247 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: That is how you you be maybe a more talented team. 248 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: Uh and wow the Chiefs one and two. Are you 249 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: worried at all? A little bit? Um? Not really? I 250 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: mean they killed themselves again in this game with turnovers. 251 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: And it started with three trips into Chargers territory that 252 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: all ended with turnovers. And and Clyde Edwards Hilaire, who 253 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: otherwise played a very good game, he put it on 254 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: the ground. Uh, there was a Tyreek Hill fumble, there 255 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: was an interception that went off hands that led to 256 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: another turnover that that hurt them. And then what happens 257 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs is when you make those mistakes as 258 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: the Kansas City offense, and when you have those turnovers 259 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: as the opponent, you better take advantage of it. And 260 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: I thought the Charges did a great job. They were 261 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: They did not get any points out of the first 262 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: tone turnover, but then they turned the next two into touchdowns, 263 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: got that four team nothing lead, which is what they 264 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: needed to get comfortable, get into the groove. And when 265 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have inevitably went on their run, when they 266 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: took over late in the second quarter, got a field goal, 267 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: and then started second half touchdown touchdown, touchdown to seemingly 268 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: take control of the game. They had built up enough 269 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: of the lead the Chargers early that they could weather 270 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: that storm, and then they outplayed Kansas City the rest 271 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: of the way. So I thought that was very, very 272 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: important to take advantage of Casey mistakes, which have been 273 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: more plentiful than I expected. On offense, I'll put it 274 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, I do think, you know, they don't 275 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: have a ton of dimensions to their offense beyond Kelsey 276 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: and Hill. We'll see if like the weight of carrying 277 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: the entire franchise starts to wear on Kelsey, Hill and 278 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: Mahomes are the rest of the guys get better. But 279 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: it's it's very uncharacteristic of the Chiefs too, you know, 280 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: get outscored Tod nothing in the last three minutes of 281 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: the game. That that's the opposite of what they did 282 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: last year. But it's a reminder they they made it 283 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl laster by winning close games over 284 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: and over and over. They have not been a truly 285 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: dominant team since you know, earlier of Yeah, no, I 286 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: think that's certainly fair to say. And Andy Reid another 287 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: subplot after this. After this game, we learned that Andy 288 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: Reid was taken to the hospital after the game. And 289 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the ESPN reporting where we are now, um, 290 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: but he left the stadium in an ambulance following the game. UH. 291 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: Source close to Read told ESPN's Jeff Darlington that the 292 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: coach was in good spirits when he departed for precautionary 293 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: observation after he felt ill. So you have, obviously you 294 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: have this situation going on now. Read is sixty three 295 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: years old, and it's something to keep an eye on. 296 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: And hopefully everything is over hospitals. I don't want anyone 297 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: to go to hospitals. I don't want anyone doing anything. 298 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: Come on, Andy Reid, we need you, We need you, 299 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: Andy Reid. But yeah, that that's kind of where I 300 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: come down on the Chiefs because the same thing happened 301 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: last week in Baltimore against Baltimore where they're winning that 302 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: game if they just don't shoot themselves on the foot. 303 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: They did it repeatedly in this game. But even though 304 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: that happened early in this game, I thought it was 305 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: very interesting and very telling in a positive way. For 306 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: the charges that they basically got this game back to 307 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: even and then outplayed, uh the Chiefs and Justin Herbert 308 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: outplayed Mahomes who threw the big interception that led to 309 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: the game winning points. So whoa good job Charges after 310 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: they charged it up last week in Dallas to get 311 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: this w that's a big one. Let's move on, Josh 312 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: and shotgun takes the snap, looks to his left, looks 313 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: nobody comes open. Josh rolls to his right, takes a look. 314 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: Gonna keep it. He's gonna run it in touchdown Buffalo 315 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen Josh Allen from two yards time touchdown, Buffalo. 316 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: John Murphy with the call w g R. Turns out 317 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is still good. The Bills quarterback through four 318 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: touchdown passes ran for another Bills embarrassed their opponent for 319 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: the second straight week. This time it was the Washington 320 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: football team no chance one blowout at Orchard Park. Greg 321 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo has a cooking on both sides of the football. Now, 322 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: I was so impressed by this Bill's team again. The 323 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: defense swarms to the ball. It was somehow a misleading 324 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: forty three to twenty one. It didn't feel that close 325 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: because if you break down the three Washington touchdowns, one 326 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: comes on a screen play, you know, unbelievable play by 327 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson. He watted that end zone. Was one of 328 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: the best players of the game, but it was called 329 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: at a perfect time, great individual effort. Another touchdown on 330 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: an extremely short field on what amounted to was an 331 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: onside kick, and then one deep into garbage time, Josh 332 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: Allen set the tone on a third and I think 333 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: it was a fifteen on the first drive, beautiful throw 334 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: on the outside the Sanders, and then an even better throw, 335 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, escaping the pocket for forty one yard touchdown 336 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: the Sanders on that drive, and from then on it 337 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: was just like Josh Allen firing bullets missed Diggs like 338 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: a couple of times streaking down the field. But otherwise 339 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: Sanders has added so much they had no problem whatsoever. 340 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: At one point in this game, they were almost tripling 341 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: up Washington in terms of yardage and they are now 342 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: the NFL leaders and score differential along with the Broncos. 343 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: And I just think of this defense, and granted they've 344 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: played three shaky offenses, but if this defense can play 345 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: close to this well all year, to me, they are 346 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: the most complete a f C team. There's a lot 347 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: of good a f C teams, but I think on paper, 348 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: they're the one team that has the chance to have 349 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: a truly great offense and a truly great defense. Yeah, 350 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: and especially seeing the Bills really come to life on 351 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: defense last week with the offense starting to fire up, 352 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: and then this week and I didn't get a chance 353 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: to this game, but hearing the way you're explaining it, 354 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: it's this sounds like last year's attack, maybe with less 355 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: stefon dig still than we were expecting. Still go six 356 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: for sixty two, had like ten targets. He just missed 357 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: him a time that was on Allen. But but on 358 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: the same day that the Chiefs again look mortal for 359 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: the second straight week. If you're a Bills and you're 360 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: thinking yourself, oh my goodness, this really is set up 361 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: well for us to potentially make that push to get 362 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: to the top of this conference, and that has to 363 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: be extremely, extremely exciting. Yeah, what did you see from 364 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke by the way in this game, because I 365 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: really I liked how he played against the Giants and 366 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: Thursday night he had the MOXI made some big plays. 367 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like much the same stuff. I mean, if 368 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: I think if you look a week went two, he 369 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: did make a couple of plays. I mean his touchdown run. Uh, 370 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: it was unbelievable how he like you know, sought out 371 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: the pilot like he's gonna make plays. I don't think 372 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: he played that poorly. They picked him off a couple 373 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: of times. One one was a little lucky. But there's 374 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: not much sustaining element in this. I don't think this 375 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: is a team that's like going to go up and 376 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: down the field on other good teams. They didn't protect 377 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: that well. And yeah, your boys young and sweaty, they 378 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: were definitely quiet today. To chase defense, I don't know, 379 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: it's been one of the worst defenses in the league 380 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: because I I really when you look at that first 381 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: Chargers game, they they got a couple of turnovers, but 382 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: they couldn't get a This team has barely forced to 383 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: punt all season. In three games, that's a trend. They're 384 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: in trouble. They're they're lucky to not be o in three. 385 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: So Buffalo has I don't know how the Steelers beat 386 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: the Bills in Week one after what we've seen since, 387 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: but they have that one loss, and now they are 388 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: back in a groove and we'll see you the Washington 389 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: football team and a lot of these and they're the 390 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: New York Giant says will get to a little bit better. 391 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: There's some issues in the NFC East right now, as 392 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: there was last year. Let's keep on moving to Greg, 393 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: your favorite place in the world, Foxborough. I mean it's 394 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: it's not my favorite place. It's only been there like 395 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: twice third Narnia three times. But that a case. And well, 396 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: we made a quarterback and j mrs wide out to 397 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: the left, power run right side Taysom Hill. We'll walk 398 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: into the end song and what a play and want 399 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: a drive by Taysom Hill a Taysom alert. The Saints 400 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: backup QB gadget Boy rushed for his first score of 401 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: the season, helping the Saints shake off They're grizzly Week two. 402 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: Laws to the Panthers and over the Pats. Yes in 403 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: Foxborough Gilette Stadium. The big ball Greg New Orleans defense 404 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: brought the goods in this one, uh intercepting rookie QB 405 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: mac Jones three times. The Pets have some issues. They 406 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: have issues, and they play consistently the most boring game 407 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: like on every Sunday slate. That's a problem too, Like 408 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad we're taping this at night, like so I 409 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: have sort of had the stench of this game off 410 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: of me because it was just it's just a slog 411 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: is similar to your the Jets Pats game yesterday where 412 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: if you you know, if you if you take the 413 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: three turnovers away, it's like neither passing game could get going. 414 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: They both didn't look great, but the Saints kind of 415 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: do what the Patriots want to do. But I think 416 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: they do it better right now. And what I mean 417 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: by that is offensive line getting it done. They lose 418 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: Torn Armstead, they're all pro at left tackle or lee 419 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: in this game, doesn't matter. They protected Winston well. Alvin 420 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: Kamara had a very hard earned I think, what was 421 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: it a hundred twenty eight yards from scrimmage, something like that, 422 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: hundred eighteen yards from scrimmage, but you know, yards that 423 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't think other running backs were gonna get. On defense, 424 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: they try to mix it up a lot. Dennis Allen's 425 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: I think very creative. Has guys up front, and they 426 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: got after Mac Jones. They dominated the line of scrimmage 427 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: on both sides the ball, and I think that's what 428 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: the Patriots were hoping to do coming into this season, 429 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: but they can't do it. They're not running the ball well, 430 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: their offensive lines not playing well, and then defenses, I mean, 431 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: they look okay if you look at the Statueets the 432 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: Patriots defense, but to me, they're just they're just like 433 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: they can't make up for a pretty boring offense. And yeah, 434 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: we saw this last week against the Jets, and Pets 435 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: it very little on offense. And in this game, there 436 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: was some Sean Payton history greg two and fifty two 437 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: totally yards for the Saints, the fewest in a road 438 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: win in the Payton Era for New Orleans. So the 439 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: Pats defense see that that's true. And it's the third 440 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: straight week that that Saints have had a hundred and 441 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: fifty yards are less passing, which is like, whoa, it's tough. 442 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: They had only had an under in ten yards net 443 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: today and Jamis Winston had two touchdown throws, one of 444 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: which was a play he tried to throw out of 445 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: the end zone and he was hit and it turned 446 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: into a Jamis Winston pop up, but Marcus Callaway comes 447 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: down with the ball. It was that kind of day. Uh, 448 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: you know for for the Saints, they got a couple breaks, 449 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: but you can't. I don't think you can keep winning 450 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: that way. Yet when it really came down to it, 451 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: and it reminded me a lot of Week one, Dan 452 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: was the Patriots defense got on the field at the 453 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: end of the game with a chance to get the 454 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 1: ball back one possession and give it to their offense, 455 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: and what do they do. That's the moment that the 456 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: Saints marched down for a thirteen play seventy five yards uh, 457 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdown drive, you know, capped by that 458 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: taste and play. It included a third and seven early 459 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: in the drive where Jamis was protected perfectly. So when 460 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: it really came down to the Patriots defense, like didn't 461 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: make a game changing type of play. They couldn't get 462 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: a stop, all right, And I guess that's fair. I mean, 463 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 1: they just need more balance and the offense is just 464 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: not there yet. And I guess we haven't had any 465 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: interceptions by Mac Jones before this game. He was very clean, 466 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: notoriously um, notoriously clean. He was in the preseason slate 467 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: when we were just going nuts about that. Um uh, 468 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: were you concerned at all by his playing this game, 469 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: or is he just put in tough situations leading I 470 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: thought he played better than the Jets game. He didn't 471 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: get much help. But the thing I'm concerned about is 472 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: they tried to go deep. You know how all week 473 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: everyone's like they're not going to go to two of 474 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: the first three plays of the game deep deep. He 475 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: must have thrown a lot of shots downfield in this game. 476 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what the number is, but I wouldn't 477 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: surprise me. Seven eight nine, and he couldn't hit any 478 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: of them, so that that's a little bit of a concern. 479 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: The three interceptions, one came out of ball where he's 480 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: sitting standing in the pocket a little too tall, kind 481 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: of like Cam Newton gets hit while he throws. One 482 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: was the last play of the game, uh, and another 483 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: was just on a drop by John new Smith. So 484 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: only one of those was really on Mac Jones. But 485 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a lot on John new Smith. I mean, 486 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: there's one of the worst games you've ever seen. Four drops, 487 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: four drops, one killed the drive, one turned into a 488 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: uh almost the pick six, and uh Nelson Aguilar and 489 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: Johnny Smith combined for fourteen targets in twenty one yard. 490 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: So all these off season additions that they did on offense, 491 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: Hunter Henry hasn't done much Like it's that part's not 492 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 1: working right now. Yeah, I mean it is reminded it's 493 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: still early, but how much was made of all the 494 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: money they gave those two tight ends and what have 495 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: they given them through three weeks. They'll get better. I 496 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: do think they're a team that will improve as the 497 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: season gets along. But I think they lost James white 498 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: Um to a hip injury which could be a long 499 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: term injury by the sound carded and immediately ruled out, 500 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: never a good sign. The Patriots lost each of their 501 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: first two home games for the first time since two thousand, 502 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 1: Belichick's first season five and eleven. And I will just 503 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: say this, and now by now Tom Brady enters for 504 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: his first game, it's it's almost uh what is the 505 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: word I'm looking for. It's almost too uh symbolic or 506 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: it's too perfect. That the last time they were in 507 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: a funk like this in their building was right before 508 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: he came, and now they're back in this place as 509 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: he returns. Oh, Greggy, if my team wasn't so miserable, 510 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: I'd be really imploying this. Uh there. They are very 511 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: much another team, and you know maybe the last time 512 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: they were like this was Onto since the Onto Cincinnati 513 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: week where they were one two and everyone got crazy 514 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: and they went on to win the Super Bowl. The 515 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: difference is they don't have Tom Brady on their team anymore. 516 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: You know, when they're playing in Foxborough, he's gonna be 517 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: on the other team. So you don't get the feel 518 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: that they could bounce back like that. I do think 519 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: they can bounce back somewhat. Two things. The AF the East, 520 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: which we were honking a lot about entering this season, 521 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: is not looking so hot right now outside of Buffalo 522 00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: and uh to the first round. Quarterbacks are really struggling. Um, 523 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: pretty much across the board unless I'm missing someone, but 524 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,959 Speaker 1: Mac Jones had a tough time of it. Zack Wilson 525 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: is really struggling. Trevor Lawrence is, you know, making big 526 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: mistakes week after week after week justin fields. We will 527 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: get to that. Um, this is what I get for 528 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,479 Speaker 1: like investing in the preseason. I had this whole idea 529 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: in my heart, like I don't know, West has gone, 530 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna like really try to like love football and 531 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: like really really focus have like a good season personally, 532 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna really like I'm gonna like watch all 533 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: these preseason games. I'm gonna take all these notes like 534 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: none of that anything seriously from the preseason I can. 535 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: I have thought about this a lot the last couple 536 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: of weeks, Like almost everything I said about anything that 537 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: happened in the preseason has almost gotten the opposite way 538 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: of what the regular It's almost like you're doing your 539 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: job in a hyper professional way actually hurt. That's what 540 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Next year, remind remind us all just let's 541 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: not put it much on any of it. Um. Alright, 542 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: we'll recap the Vikings performance against the Seahawks with Nick Shook. 543 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: Right after this Seattle blitzes again, Kirk steps up with 544 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: this four touchdown this season lead just seventeen Cousins ceiling. 545 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: The Vikings needed a big week. Vikings fans needed a 546 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: big week. Paul Allen, Let's be honest, he needed a 547 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: big week, Cafe and they all got at Kirk Cousins 548 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 1: through three touchdown passes before halftime, including that hook up 549 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: with Adam Feeling, and then did great clock management on 550 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: field goal drives in the second half to help close 551 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: out a thirty seventeen win over the Seahawks, the first 552 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: one of the season for the Vikings that first went 553 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: over the Seahawks in twelve years. Yes, Nick Shook now 554 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: joins us and Shook always be wary of the wounded 555 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: animal team, but winning without Dalvin Cook made this even 556 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: more impressive. Yeah, let's give a tip of the hat 557 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: to Alexander Masson. Why don't you know what I mean, 558 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: who needs I'm just kidding it. We definitely need you 559 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: definitely need Dalvin Cook in Minnesota, But I mean carries 560 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: for a hundred and twelve yards, pretty solid day. And 561 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: what was most important about that, in my opinion, was 562 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: it gave them the balance they needed to effectively execute 563 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: their offense because the number one threat for that offense 564 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: when Cook is out there is Cook. And if you 565 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: don't have him, well, let's focus on stopping the past. 566 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: Psych You got Madison instead. Her Cousins sych back like 567 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: it's been a solid twenty years. It's it's time a 568 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: little So, yeah, it works out, But what's going on 569 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: Chook with Kirk Cousins, Because I know he's everybody's favorite 570 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: punching bag. And here we are a week after week. 571 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: Now on these Sundays, you look up and he's playing 572 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: mistake freeball. He's airing it out, he's throwing a bunch 573 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: of touchdown passes. Now they get a win out of it. 574 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: This team could easily be three and oh, And if 575 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: they were, it would be a huge story because Cousins 576 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: has been playing some of the best ball of his career. 577 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: I know, he's been playing like they are three and oh. 578 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean statistically, Um, you know, he leads the league 579 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: in in like, for example, passes of ten plus air yards. 580 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: Nobody's got a more pascerating in an instance than Kirk Cousins. 581 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: Think about that. He hasn't thrown an interception. He's playing 582 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: great football. It's just a matter of They lost a 583 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: close one and overtime to the Bengals because of a 584 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: fumble that you know could have or didn't end up 585 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: going their way, but could have potentially gone their way 586 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: at the end of the Bengals game. Then they lose 587 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: because Greg Joseph can't make a game winning field goal. 588 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this team, I was thinking about it today 589 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: before they won. This might be one of the best. Oh, 590 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: and two teams. Granted, you know I've ever seen a 591 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Yeah, I think he's played great. I think 592 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: k j Osborne, I know, only had two catches today, 593 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: but they were big catches. He's been like a third down, 594 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: third down conversion machine. He's given them a little something 595 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: that you didn't expect. Conklin goes seven for seventy as 596 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: their tight end today with with a touchdown. And then 597 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: I what I want to ask you, because he watched 598 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: this closely, was man like Gary Kubiak. He's now in 599 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: year two only of being the solo coordinator there. And 600 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: I thought that running game last week like was like 601 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: vintage Kubiak type of running. And they dominated that game 602 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: against Arizona. Did you see the same thing in Seattle 603 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: was supposed to have a pretty good you know front, 604 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: uh in terms of stop in the run. Yeah, you know, 605 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: they ran a kind of at will almost. I mean, 606 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: if you had changed Jersey numbers and told me that, 607 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, Madison was wearing thirty three, and but you 608 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: told me that was Dalvin Cook, I would have believed 609 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: you on some place. And he had three carries of 610 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: ten or more yards. I mean, so they were ripping 611 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: off some runs in between there and he did his 612 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: job definitely, And you're right, it was like a vintage 613 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: zone scheme or they pounded and then they catch good 614 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: offensive team. Yeah they are, and they were today on 615 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: the Seahawks side of things. How concerned are you now? 616 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: They they You know, they got the Cults in Week one, 617 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: and we knew that was a Cults team that had 618 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: all sorts of issues, but they got the road victory. 619 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: But now back to back weeks they've given up thirty points. Uh, 620 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: And it's just that's not going to be good enough, 621 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: especially that's type of ball they like to play on offense. 622 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: What are you seeing with their defense? What's not working? 623 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean today it was all about the short game. 624 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins didn't have a single pass, a single deep 625 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: pass attempt in the entire game, like according to next 626 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,719 Speaker 1: Gen stats, not one, and ended up storing for three 627 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: yards without doing that. So they have to be better underneath. 628 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if the way they played Jamal Adams 629 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: necessarily helps them. They love to bring him up on 630 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: the line and send pressure and everything else. I'm all, 631 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm all in favor of having a box safety, but 632 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily all about bringing my safety up to 633 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: the line as frequently as they do, because it does 634 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: leave you a little susceptible to rely on other guys 635 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: and then get that underneath stuff taken care of. But 636 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: my biggest concern with them isn't even defensively. It's the 637 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: fact that they can't score any points in the second half. 638 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: They scored uh six points in the second half last 639 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: week and ended up losing that game to Tennessee. They 640 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: scored zero points in the second half this week end 641 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: up losing this game by thirteen. It's it's a it's 642 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: a matter of our other teams making good halftime adjustments, 643 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: so you them and they're just not responding, or just 644 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: can they just not figure out who they want to be. 645 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: It reminds you of that offensive struggle period that they 646 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: went through down the stretch last year where the couldn't 647 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: figure out who they wanted to be. That's what they 648 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: look like in the second half of these last week. 649 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,479 Speaker 1: In defense of like Russell Wilson and you know, Sean Walgent, 650 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: they really only had three drives in the second half. 651 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: Now you went punt punt and downs, but their defense 652 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: not getting off the field back to back weeks and 653 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: giving up these long drives and kind of being run over. 654 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: At one point in this game that the Vikings drives 655 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: were nine for a touchdown, twelve for sixty six in 656 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: a touchdown, sixteen for fifty that is some old school stuff, 657 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: eleven for seventy, and then twelve eight, So that's like 658 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: five straight drives where you you're a Seahawks defense, you 659 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: just can't get on the off the field and I'm 660 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: sick of banging this same drum. But they've been a 661 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: mediocre defense for about five six years now and it 662 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: feels like it's getting a little worse, not not getting better. 663 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: And the Adams point you made show because really interesting 664 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: because we know what he's about. We know he's not 665 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: a coverage guy. That's he has two interceptions his entire career, 666 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,479 Speaker 1: but you just gave him all the money in the world, 667 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: so it's like you have to use them to what 668 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: he does best. But if that's not exactly helping your defense, 669 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: you're kind of caught in between. That's an interesting point 670 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: you made. Well, yeah, and they redirected a lot of 671 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: their money to paying him and they haven't really spent 672 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: a lot of money in other areas, and I think 673 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: it's starting to show, as you know, as in whole. 674 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: I mean the nine for fourteen on on third down 675 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota West today, that's not acceptable for you to try 676 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: to be able to come back. I mean, we went 677 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: to half time with a seventeen to seven lead, couldn't 678 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: put any points on the board, couldn't really get the ball. 679 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: You know, Greg, you talked about that. I think three 680 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: of those possessions they had two or three of them 681 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: five plays in total. I mean, you're right, they're not 682 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: giving their offense any chances. And when they did have 683 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: the ball and weren't doing much either, they got the 684 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: forty niners and the Rams. Next Seahawks, Twitter is going 685 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: to be on or oh yeah, yeah, we might have 686 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: to get our friend on from the Athletic again to 687 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: check in on the Seahawks world because it seems like 688 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 1: a chaotic place. All right, let's head on now. Shook 689 00:34:53,960 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: to a a f C South showdown Tannahill looking we 690 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: are in complete to McNichols at the five, did it 691 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: get in? Yes, he did, Jeremy McNichols, I mean, how 692 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: come my voice is going and Mike Keith can do that, 693 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: He's fine. W g F X Ryan tann Hill through 694 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: for a d ninety seven yards of three touchdowns, including 695 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: that hooked up with McNichols, leading the Titans to win 696 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: over the free Fall Colts in Nashville. Shook Um tell 697 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: us how the Titans smiled as they put a nail 698 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: into the coffin of the Cults season maybe the season. 699 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't say final nail. I said, and 700 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: nail in the coffin. You need like ten nails. There's 701 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 1: about six or seven in there now, nails and coffins anymore. 702 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like the dirt would take 703 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: care of it. Well. Then the nail in this game 704 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: was a miss Rodrigo blanket ship field goal. I mean, 705 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: they were, they were. It was kind of like it was. 706 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: It wasn't quite a sad field goal, but they still 707 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,919 Speaker 1: need to get the ball back again to be able 708 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: to have a chance to go ahead. And then he 709 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: just misses it, and he was like, well, that's that, 710 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: like time to get out of here, because they can't 711 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: even make the field goal when they're down by nine points. 712 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: But um, I mean, if you want to look at 713 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: somebody who symbolizes a nail on their cough, and yeah, 714 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: a nail on their cough. At this point the season, 715 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: it's Carson Wentz, the guy cannot move. He's playing with 716 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: massively taped ankles. Not the Ben Roethlisberger oversized shoe, but 717 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: it looks kind of similar, and he just simply could 718 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: not move to the point where it was obvious that 719 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: he knew he couldn't move. There were a few times 720 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: where he could have evaded pressure if he were healthy, 721 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 1: and instead he just throws the ball directly into the ground. Uh. 722 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: And then at one point he tried to scramble for 723 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: a conversion on third down, and he thought about scrambling, 724 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: got about two steps up in the pocket, and then realized, 725 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: oh wait, I can't run right now, and out of 726 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: the corner of his eyes saw Nahem Hinds over in 727 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: the flat tried to backhand pitch the ball to him 728 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: and didn't even come close. And it was just like, 729 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: this is what they're working with right now. This just 730 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: feels like roster mismanagement from the Cults, because as banged 731 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: up as Wentz is, you would think there's got to 732 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: be someone that gives them a better chance to in 733 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: But that doesn't seem like their quarterback room is built 734 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: that way between Brett Hunley and Jacob Eason. So it's 735 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 1: it's send Wentz out there, and he's just lucky to 736 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: get out of this game with another injury. We don't 737 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: even know that they're leaving him to be feasted upon. 738 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Tennessee pinned their ears back. Harold Andry had 739 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: a career high twelve quarterback pressures today. Um, I mean 740 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 1: it was it was. You know, he's still through for yards, 741 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: but it was all in the short game. And the 742 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: thing that I really hold against the Colts more than anything, 743 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: and partially, you know, this isn't entirely their fault, but 744 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: they show that they can move the ball with a 745 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: quick game, whether it's just dumping it, offering screens, that 746 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: type of thing. They just didn't stick with it and 747 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: and tried to push the ball down the field late. 748 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 1: And that was before they were even down by nine points. 749 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 1: And you know, when you have a guy who can't move, 750 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,720 Speaker 1: who's clearly not super confident on the messed up ankles 751 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 1: that he's playing on, Uh, the last thing you want 752 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: to do is give the defense more time to get 753 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: after him and not get the ball out quicker. So um, 754 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: I thought schematically they kind of failed in the second 755 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: half because I mean it was a close game until 756 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and that's really when it felt part 757 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: that they might take it easy on Henry just he's 758 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: a little bit after forty one touches last week, because 759 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: for thirty one, he really does break every rule there 760 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: is about running backs. It's just kind of amazing. And 761 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: Tennessee has to be love in life right now. I 762 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: know this is a home game, so you want to 763 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: like kind of knocked that one out and beat the Colts. 764 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: But man, just looking at that division, they should feel 765 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: pretty good. At two and one, it might not take 766 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: that many wins to win this division, and especially with 767 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: the way that the Colts have started this season the 768 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: way they look so far, even in the close games, 769 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to pull it out. So yeah, 770 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: I totally agree, and you would think that, you know, 771 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: I said, it's the sixth or seventh nail that they 772 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: got to put in the Coffin sixth or seventh, they've 773 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: only played three games games some of them were two 774 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: nail games. And now I look at their schedule at 775 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: Miami at Ravens Home Texans at nine or so, they're 776 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: on the road for three of the next four weeks. 777 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,439 Speaker 1: There's still all sorts of messed up on offense and 778 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: banged out, banged up. And that's why, that's why Greg, 779 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: you and I both locked up the Titans here, so 780 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,359 Speaker 1: big w for both of us. How about Dan's having 781 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,240 Speaker 1: fun because I for some reason switched switched the locker 782 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: last minute to a loss, because you know, because you 783 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: really got to be worried when when you can get 784 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz but like make them not mobile, that's what 785 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,720 Speaker 1: you really got to be worried about and change change 786 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: your pick. You know, like a week right that you've 787 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: you've switched out of a winner, tore on switching out 788 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,319 Speaker 1: of winners the losers. So I deserve it, it's all, 789 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, you all you wanted it all to happen 790 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 1: in the same samee. Well you got to save that 791 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: for for the next tweet to use it because it 792 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: was almost like, yeah, we're talking about nails in your coffee. 793 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: It's nails. The nails are are in my back. Uh. 794 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,919 Speaker 1: Shook one more game and it was a great one 795 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: in Vegas. Good snap, good hole, shock pot baby. The 796 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: writers become the first team in history of the NFL 797 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 1: don't win their first three games against teams at all 798 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: one at least ten games a previous season. Whoa that 799 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: calls burn bongos say, I like when the strings come 800 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: in there, it's just a banger. Yes, the Raiders did 801 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: it again. They're three and oh they very nearly let 802 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: this one slip away. Jake Brisket when the gutsy scramble 803 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: with seconds to play and then converts the two point 804 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: conversion to Will Fuller for US. Over time they trade 805 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: field goals, but shook Derek Carr as he's been doing 806 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: all season, just making money throws in the biggest moments, 807 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: and that gorgeous shot to Edwards that's set up the 808 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,479 Speaker 1: game winner was one of the best throws of the year. Yeah, 809 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: I mean, Derek Carr is on fire. There was only 810 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,280 Speaker 1: one mistaking this entire afternoon, which is an ill advised 811 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 1: throw into the hands of Eland and Roberts, who took 812 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: it back for a pick six. Other than that, he was, 813 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: you know, pretty precise for most of the game. And 814 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: the thing you really have to like about his development, 815 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: I think from last year to this year is taking 816 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: with the defense is giving him picking apart defenses and 817 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: spreading the ball around the field as a result. I 818 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: know they spent a first round pick on Henry Rugs 819 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 1: and he is getting more involved. You know, he had 820 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: that touchdown pass a reception last week, and he did 821 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: have four catches or seventy eight yards today. But he's 822 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: not just relying on him or just relying on Darren Waller. 823 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: He's throwing everybody. He threw a touchdown past to alec 824 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: Ingold today who that was his reward for saving them 825 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: from fumbling away a red zone opportunity on the previous play. 826 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm convinced, you know, they were just like a dialing 827 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: up fringle and he just bailed us out, dump it off, touchdown. 828 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,240 Speaker 1: This was the best game of the day. I think 829 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: this is a great football game. These teams only play classics. 830 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 1: We can only think of three. This one, the Sea 831 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: of Hands game, Remember the Sea of Hands game. We 832 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: weren't born yet, but it's a classic. And then the 833 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: fits Pat Trick game of course at the end of 834 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,760 Speaker 1: last year that ended the radio season. I mean Jake Briskett, 835 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 1: you know, through forty nine times for two and fifty yards, 836 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: like some of these four yards attempt some of these 837 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: reception numbers like Waddle twelve. It's a little wild. But 838 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 1: when Puss game to shop, he had a fourth and 839 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: nine where he had to fit it into a mail slot. 840 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: Got it. Fourth and twenty with the game on the 841 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: line and overtime on the run, got it. So he 842 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: added a lot of value, a lot of fun. I 843 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: don't know, if I don't know, if to point no, 844 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: who would love to have Jake Brisket right now? The 845 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: team that originally had him Occults? How about the Patriots? No, 846 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Mac Chus is good. I've kidded about 847 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: that seriously, Like this is the Dolphins you could get 848 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,439 Speaker 1: if you're a Dolphins fan. Even though they fought back 849 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: here and this was a nice comeback. You're one and 850 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: two and you're disappointed with the start of the season. 851 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 1: The one thing that they've been smart enough to do, 852 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: and other teams after your aren't. As we need to 853 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 1: get a dependable backup in the building, Ryan Fitzpatrick the 854 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: last couple of years, Jake Brisket. Now these guys are 855 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: not stars, but their hold the ford guys that can 856 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: save your butt if your starter goes down and that's 857 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 1: what nearly happened today. Yeah, and you know, you have 858 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: to be encouraged by that because, I mean, they got 859 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,879 Speaker 1: their doors blown off last week, and yet they come 860 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: back and play against a team that's on fire. I mean, 861 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: I know it's only three games, but the Raiders are 862 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: playing good football. Um, even their defense has really come around. You. 863 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: We also we already know about the front four and 864 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: what they've been able to do in getting after the quarterback. 865 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: So statistically, if you looked at it on paper going 866 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: into this game, you're thinking, man, this is a terrible 867 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: situation for Brissette to walk into. And yet Jake Brisket 868 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: avoiding pressure, stepping up in the pocket, extending plays, scrambling 869 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,840 Speaker 1: and put against body on the line with two seconds 870 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: left in the game, and then converting the two point conversion. 871 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 1: Like you said, I mean, it was that you're handed 872 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,320 Speaker 1: a lot of points. It was like a short field. 873 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: It was it was a pick six. And then you know, 874 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 1: Brisket also made the history books by being the first 875 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: quarterback to complete a pass for a safety. So that 876 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: was pretty Yea, that was a bad, bad situation by everyone, 877 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: and this offense is just good. I mean, Peyton Barber 878 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: goes for a hundred and eleven yards on four point 879 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: eight yards per carry. No Josh Jacobs again here. Kenyan 880 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 1: Drake also in the mix obviously there but the past 881 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: catchers with car playing at this level. Brian Edwards is 882 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: a player. Henry Ruggs a couple more great catches today. 883 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,880 Speaker 1: He really is blossoming. Hunter Renfro third and Renfro Darren 884 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 1: Waller of course has been maybe a little quiet after 885 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: the last after the Week one explosion, but that's a 886 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: that's a great four pack. I mean, Ruggs had a 887 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: play early where he looked like the error that you 888 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,720 Speaker 1: sometimes got in Tech Mobile where the guy just flies 889 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: off the top of the screen. There was like a 890 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: special way you could get that to happen, and that 891 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: was like Rugs, My god, they should just throw like 892 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,439 Speaker 1: alley oops to Ruggs because just because it was fun 893 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: to watch. He has to have one of the highest 894 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: vertical verticals in the league. And then Renfro had one 895 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,240 Speaker 1: play where he did like a quadruple move and literally 896 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: spun around Xavian Howard and all pro like a top 897 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 1: these Raiders are they're balling. Yeah, Renfro had a great 898 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: catch and we talk about third Renfro. It was second 899 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 1: in Renfro at least once today a fantastic catching the sideline. 900 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: It basically put me in this moment where I was like, 901 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: who is his comparison like, because he's short, you know, 902 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 1: he's the the gritty receiver whatever you wanna call him. 903 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 1: And I want to say he's like maybe a welker, 904 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: but he's not that type of athlete necessarily, but he 905 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: is a guy that you can depend on to make 906 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: those catches over and over again. And it's fun to 907 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 1: see how car involves him but really involves everybody. They're 908 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: just a really fun offense to watch. Overall. They're now 909 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: a team that I look forward to watching on a 910 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: week to week basis. Shook your live via satellite from 911 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,399 Speaker 1: Cleveland in your home office, and I'm looking right now 912 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,840 Speaker 1: behind you over your left shoulder. It's the NFL helmet 913 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: with the big shield logo that you only get at 914 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: the NFL if you leave the company. And then they 915 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 1: put the helmet on the table in the newsroom and 916 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,720 Speaker 1: they say, everybody sign it wish Nick Well, of course, 917 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,919 Speaker 1: shook Ee went to the Browns and then came back, 918 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: so Shook managed Greg to really pull something off here. 919 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: He got the helmet where everyone said, you know, you're 920 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: an amazing guy, best double luck to you, kept the helmet, 921 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: has it on display, left the company, and then came back. 922 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 1: It's it's having your cake and eat it too, right, 923 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,919 Speaker 1: It's like he's like double dipping somehow. He's probably still 924 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: getting paid by the Browns like all the other ex coaches. 925 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,800 Speaker 1: They have maybe much money there with the Browns. We 926 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: know that was a mysterious exit. You know, you know 927 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: if I if I hung around there long enough, my 928 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: first stint there and have two of those helmets at 929 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 1: this point, I mean, you're living the dream like you left, 930 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: but you're still on this podcast. So it's perfect like 931 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 1: you got you got, you got your cake and you're 932 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 1: eating it too. You know it worked out. You don't 933 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: have to come up to the studio. You're just at 934 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: home and Gregg, you don't. I don't even need to ask. 935 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,800 Speaker 1: We know there was no goodbye from the Brown's helmet. 936 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 1: Just put it that way. It was well one day 937 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 1: shot up that just a key card didn't work pretty much. 938 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 1: You will see you in a week when you're covering 939 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: us for somebody else. By the way, one more game 940 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,240 Speaker 1: was shooke. I misspoken, and that's a great thing because 941 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 1: I can't speak. Head to Pittsburgh. Joe and the gun 942 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: catches the snap fakes the p rhyan Row said high 943 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: and deep down the left s Chase hasn't in the 944 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 1: end zone. Touchdown, mangals. What a throw by Joe Burrow 945 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,840 Speaker 1: to Jamaar Chase, who extended his arms and reeled it 946 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 1: in for the thirty four yard score. It's like he's like, 947 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 1: I gotta get out of that lock. I gotta get 948 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,320 Speaker 1: over to the ben Rothelsburger Steelers and two things. I 949 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 1: had a good day with picks too. I don't even 950 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 1: know what happened, Dan Hard and Dave Lapham w c 951 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: k y. Joe Burrow through for buck seventy eight, but 952 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: with three touchdowns, including two more strikes to Jamaar Chase. Hey, 953 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:52,359 Speaker 1: that's working out. Speaking of stupid summer storylines, Jamar Chase 954 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: can catch, and he catches a lot of balls in 955 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,719 Speaker 1: the end zone. Bengals are now two and one after 956 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 1: over the Steelers shook. We knew Pittsburgh was up against it, 957 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: potentially without t J. Watt, their most important player. How 958 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 1: big a difference did it make in this game? Massive? 959 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 1: They recorded one pressure the entire game, their lowest pressure 960 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 1: presentage pressure output in the next Gen stats era. The Steelers, 961 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,879 Speaker 1: I mean they they Joe Burrow had all time, all 962 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: day to throw. H there was one play in which 963 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,919 Speaker 1: he actually was hit, and it was very questionable roughing 964 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: the passer call which actually set up the first touchdown 965 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: pass to Jamar Chase just before halftime. Basically it was 966 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 1: a matter of Burrow could pick apart the defense to 967 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: a degree, uh and kind of just work with whatever 968 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 1: he had, and the Steelers, knowing that the Steelers couldn't 969 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 1: move the ball quickly at all, that they could just 970 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 1: kind of take their time. But I mean the second 971 00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Jamar Chase, he again had all data throw, 972 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 1: was able to roll out right, wait for Jamaar Chase 973 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,280 Speaker 1: to break officer oute, come back over into the middle, 974 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: wide open portion of the end zone, just throw it 975 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 1: to him. I mean, it made it look easy. It 976 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 1: was at one point a commanding lead, if not bordering 977 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 1: on a blowout before things kind of settled down to 978 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 1: this final score that you see here. Uh. I think 979 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: if you're a Steeler fan, you're stunned. Maybe not because 980 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: of you know, considering who you didn't have on defense, 981 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 1: but if you're a Bengals fan, you gotta be riding 982 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: high man. This is a team that won the division 983 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: last year. This is a statement win for your young Bengals. 984 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it will never get old beating Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. 985 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: If you're a Bengals fan, or a Browns fan or 986 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: a Ravens fan. That's just how this division goes. And 987 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,760 Speaker 1: teams are gonna be lining up to kick the Steelers 988 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: when you're down. I know I didn't watch this game closely, 989 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: but sometimes I think the box score can tell you 990 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 1: a story. And the story here is that Naj Harris 991 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: got more targets as a running back than any running 992 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 1: back in history, I think again in the next gen 993 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,800 Speaker 1: stats era. And that's like that tells you about their offense. 994 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: Because the Steelers had thirty five more plays than the Bengals, 995 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: which is usually a good thing, you know, in many 996 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 1: more yards. But the Bengals were able to hit some 997 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 1: big plays, whereas Nick, the Steelers are going on like 998 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 1: seven eight minute long field goal drive when they're behind. 999 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,799 Speaker 1: And so to me, that tell me if I'm wrong, 1000 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 1: but I have a feeling that is the box score 1001 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: kind of telling you the story of the difference between 1002 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 1: these teams. Yeah, it absolutely did. I mean the Steelers 1003 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 1: only scoring drive but produced a touchdown the entire afternoon, 1004 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: eight minutes and thirty two seconds, fifteen plays to cover 1005 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: ninety yards. Get this, Greg, They went no huddle on 1006 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: a few of those plays in that and it still 1007 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: took that long. And they have explosive players. I mean, 1008 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: I want to point out by the way, it's not 1009 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: just what, it's what it's to it who's probably their 1010 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 1: next best player? And Lulu and Highsmith that is four 1011 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 1: of your top six, you know, front line players. So 1012 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 1: it's on defense that that helps explain it. It is 1013 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 1: the with the Steelers offense, and it's it's you know, 1014 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 1: you don't want to make it two on the nose 1015 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,879 Speaker 1: and connecting the things. But it felt that way last 1016 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: year with them down the stretch where the field felt 1017 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 1: like it was a hundred and twenty yards and they 1018 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 1: would going uphill both ways. And here we are again. 1019 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 1: Jud Smith Schuster went out with an injury in this game. 1020 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 1: That doesn't make things any easier for Big Ben, but 1021 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 1: it just seems like to me that the Steelers are 1022 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 1: a a full step and maybe two below the actual 1023 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 1: contenders in this league and be their only chance to 1024 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 1: have a successful season i e. Playoffs, as if the 1025 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 1: defense dominates because the offense. I don't just I don't 1026 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 1: think they're gonna flip a switch. I think this is 1027 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: might be who they are as a team, and that 1028 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,880 Speaker 1: that's not a very optimistic viewpoint. But I feel like 1029 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 1: we're starting to get a handle on this team a 1030 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, and it's becoming a recurring theme. It 1031 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 1: starts with the offensive line, the fact that they've got 1032 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 1: a bunch of new guys up there and they're still 1033 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: just not playing effectively enough to really help that offense 1034 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 1: move now. Really, it shows up in the run game 1035 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,319 Speaker 1: more than anything, when you try to hand the ball 1036 00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,399 Speaker 1: to Nigi Harris and he consistently has nowhere to run 1037 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,879 Speaker 1: or very little space to run, and then it comes 1038 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 1: down to the Steelers trying to force feed him the 1039 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: ball through the air because they want to get him 1040 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: involved and they want to get the return on their 1041 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: first round pick, while also we all realize that they 1042 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 1: didn't spend that pick on a quality lineman that they 1043 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: might have been able to use that at this point 1044 00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,799 Speaker 1: now instead of you know, finding a replacement level are 1045 00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 1: better running back, instead of spending a first round pick 1046 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 1: on Nagy Harris. I mean, it's just they're stuck in 1047 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,720 Speaker 1: the mud. They're they're trying to do too many things. 1048 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: None of it's working because they can't really protect all 1049 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,799 Speaker 1: that well. And they I mean, the Bengels defense surprisingly 1050 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: got after a little bit today. They've been good all 1051 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,400 Speaker 1: three weeks and they've they've got a home TNF game. 1052 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's big time when Colleen wolf Is head 1053 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 1: into your town and it's against the Jaguars. You can 1054 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,799 Speaker 1: get the three and one here, Cincinnati have a little 1055 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 1: bit of a moment, and then you're you got the 1056 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 1: Packers in next Okay, that's tough, But then you got 1057 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 1: the Lions, Like they got a chance here to have 1058 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 1: like a nice little four and two type of star. Right. 1059 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: Let be Cincinnati beyond the fringes of the playoff race 1060 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:44,120 Speaker 1: by Thanksgiving. I mean, any Cincinnati fan would sign up 1061 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,799 Speaker 1: for that. So they have that in front of them 1062 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 1: to get set up well. And I think just in general, 1063 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 1: if you're a Bengals fan, a lot of optimism after 1064 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,919 Speaker 1: Week one, and then everything felt like in Week two 1065 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 1: that it might have been going down the path of 1066 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: what's been too familiar um over the last few years. 1067 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 1: And now you get this win and all of a 1068 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: sudden you're like, Okay, maybe we're making progress here, Maybe 1069 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,799 Speaker 1: maybe Zach Taylor is getting through to these guys. Maybe 1070 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,919 Speaker 1: there's something cooking here. So we'll see if Cincinnati could 1071 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 1: build on this. And the Steelers are a team to 1072 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 1: keep an eye on here, because you know, we talked 1073 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 1: about it all through the off season that they felt 1074 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: like they had the biggest disparity potentially between ceiling and floor, 1075 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 1: and right now it is not trending well, despite the 1076 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:22,919 Speaker 1: fact that they went on the road in week one 1077 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 1: beat the Bills. But look where they are now, Shook 1078 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 1: A Look where you are now? Yeah, high ceiling, high floor, 1079 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,959 Speaker 1: high motor. And the top of your head is pretty 1080 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,399 Speaker 1: high too. It's like it goes to a nice it's 1081 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,879 Speaker 1: very high in the screen. Yeah, let me lean back 1082 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 1: a little bit here about that high here. Somebody said 1083 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 1: I saw somebody on Twitter a few weeks back that 1084 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:48,319 Speaker 1: was like Dan talks about Shook's head and baldness too 1085 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 1: much it's it's not nice, and I never thought it 1086 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 1: to be a thing where I was being mean or anything. 1087 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: But I'm going to just stay away from the commentary 1088 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,719 Speaker 1: on your head. I think you did a nice job 1089 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,080 Speaker 1: with the decisions you made, uh, and people should to 1090 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: read into it anything else other than that one of 1091 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,520 Speaker 1: the decisions I made today shaving my head. There you go. 1092 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean, bald is beautiful and I enjoy being bald, 1093 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 1: so it's never. It's never a beautiful job, Nikki Shook, 1094 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,320 Speaker 1: and you are a life saving for us every Sunday, 1095 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: but especially this one. There goes Shook back into the 1096 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:23,239 Speaker 1: Cleveland night. And up next the Jets. Right after this 1097 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 1: break double tight end set plus a fullback on first goal, 1098 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 1: the one they handed off running left side, Gordon hit 1099 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 1: and run, store a tackle and presses into the end zone, 1100 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:38,040 Speaker 1: but they did for a touchdown. Well. The highlight is 1101 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,240 Speaker 1: that the Broncos had two one yard touchdowns, a bunch 1102 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 1: of field goals, and the Jets in and score. So 1103 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? David Logan with the call 1104 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 1: ko A. The Broncos continue to feast on the top 1105 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: of the draft class. One week after shutting down Trevor 1106 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:59,200 Speaker 1: Lawrence Dever picked up Zack Wilson twice in zip shut 1107 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: out over the Jet at Mile High. The Broncos are 1108 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,240 Speaker 1: three and oh for the first time since two thousand fifteen. 1109 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 1: Their opponents this season or combined oh and nine, but 1110 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 1: hey call a player schedule. The Jets provided zero resistance 1111 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 1: in this one. Greg and I tweeted about it, and 1112 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 1: sometimes I tweet from my feelings about being a Jet fan, 1113 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: and I wonder if there could be pushed back, but 1114 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: I don't care because I'm just angry about it. Um, 1115 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 1: Jets fans were not looking for any Cinderella playoff run 1116 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,719 Speaker 1: this season. We take it, but that's not what you're 1117 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 1: looking for. You just want something to look forward to 1118 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,359 Speaker 1: on Sundays. You want to have some whiff of progress, 1119 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 1: just the idea that there's maybe some hope. But this organization, 1120 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,360 Speaker 1: it's such a low bar. It's just above the floor 1121 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 1: and they can't clear it. It's really just they did 1122 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 1: not put up any type of fight against the Broncos. 1123 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 1: And I give the Broncos credit. They executed there in 1124 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 1: their building. They're feeling good about themselves, So I don't 1125 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,399 Speaker 1: want to make this a Jets conversation, but it's hard 1126 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,839 Speaker 1: not to because the Jet are not competing and any 1127 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 1: team in the league was gonna beat the Jets. The 1128 00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 1: Broncos were just lucky enough today to have them on 1129 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 1: the schedule. Yeah, through three weeks, they've got a pretty 1130 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: strong argument for the worst team in the league along 1131 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,920 Speaker 1: with the Jaguars, because they haven't really been competitive in 1132 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 1: any of the three games. Um, they had a moment, 1133 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,799 Speaker 1: I guess in Carolina late work, but really they're they're 1134 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 1: pretty outplayed. I'm not surprised with this Broncos defense, but 1135 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 1: it just shows you like they're down some players, and um, 1136 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I think the whole season 1137 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:36,279 Speaker 1: is about Zack Wilson's development, and he got a tough draw. 1138 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 1: We didn't know how good that Panthers defense is gonna be, 1139 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 1: but it looks pretty good. I think you got a 1140 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 1: tough draw with these first three games, and you're just hoping, 1141 00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,839 Speaker 1: uh for some progress. And if you're Denver, like like 1142 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 1: I said that, you're leading the league in point differential 1143 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,840 Speaker 1: right now. Yet. Yes, um, they've they've played bad teams, 1144 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 1: but stomping bad teams, according to Football Outsiders, is literally 1145 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,160 Speaker 1: the most predictive thing you can do to like to 1146 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 1: make the super Bowl. Like that is. The most predictive 1147 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 1: thing of a great team is stomping bad teams. And 1148 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 1: I don't think there's data that backs that up. But 1149 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 1: that's ludicrous to me. But okay, go on, because basically 1150 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 1: the I the thinking is when you're playing other great teams, 1151 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 1: the game is probably gonna be close, and so a 1152 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: sign of of a great team is is you don't 1153 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: keep them close against the bad ones. I actually think 1154 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 1: that bron Goes have to be a little discouraged coming 1155 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 1: out of this geam just because they are, weirdly one 1156 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: of the most injured teams in the entire NFL. They 1157 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 1: had three starters lost in this game, two on the 1158 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 1: offensive line. They're now down three starters on the offensive 1159 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: lines injuries. We'll see how serious they are. And then 1160 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 1: kJ Hamdler, the receiver had an injury, which well, we'll 1161 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 1: see how serious that is. That the initial word is 1162 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 1: maybe it's not as bad as it initially looked, and 1163 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: it's going to just be multi week instead of season ending. Um, 1164 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: but they you know, Chubb's on the I R. I 1165 00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 1: just saying that they're down about six seven starters from 1166 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 1: three weeks ago, and then that you would think is 1167 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: gonna start catching up to him now that they faced 1168 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 1: the meat of their skin, right Dalton, Dalton, Risner, Graham 1169 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: Glasgow foot knee injuries, respect respectively. kJ Hamler had the 1170 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,160 Speaker 1: knee which was really bad in the moment, but hopefully 1171 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,640 Speaker 1: not too serious. Um yeah, I mean, I don't know 1172 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,680 Speaker 1: how much to take out of this game other there 1173 00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 1: than to say that, um, they could handle these teams. Look, 1174 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he's doing exactly what you'd want out of Teddy, Teddy. 1175 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 1: He's been perfect Teddy. But he's like again, I want 1176 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,920 Speaker 1: to see him against better competition. They got the Giants, 1177 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, the Jets. Now they're going to get the Ravens, 1178 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers, the Raiders, the Browns. Okay, now, let's see 1179 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 1: what Teddy is. But if you're asking how he played 1180 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,200 Speaker 1: today as well, it wasn't a dynamic performance. But he 1181 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: made some really nice throws. And when you're playing a 1182 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: team as bad as the Jets are right now, you 1183 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 1: just don't want to do anything to gift wrap the game, 1184 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 1: pick sixes or anything like that. Put the ball in 1185 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 1: the ground. He didn't do that. He's kind of stuck 1186 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,439 Speaker 1: in games against Derek Carr, Justin Herbert and Mahomes where 1187 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 1: it's not gonna where you can't just like kick field goals. 1188 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 1: And so that's going to be the challenge for Teddy. 1189 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 1: But what a start, I mean, it is. You could 1190 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 1: argue this was the softest start to schedule that any 1191 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 1: team has ever had. I mean, record wise it is. 1192 00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 1: It's oh nine. But well, you can't take the you 1193 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,440 Speaker 1: can't take the oh nine because they three of them 1194 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,440 Speaker 1: are against the Broncos. But yeah, they're owing six otherwise. 1195 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 1: You know, put it this way, when I do the 1196 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 1: Power Rings on Tuesday, I think the Giants will be 1197 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 1: twenty nine, the Jaguars or the Giants will be thirty, 1198 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 1: the Jags will be thirty one, and the Jets will 1199 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 1: be thirty two. And that's so they got one, two, 1200 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 1: three in the schedule. Again, you can only play your schedule. 1201 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,680 Speaker 1: But I want to see how they do against the 1202 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,160 Speaker 1: Ravens next week. That seems like a really good game, 1203 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 1: a barometer. Let's move on. I'll get mad at kicks away. 1204 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 1: You can only play who's on the schedule, and the 1205 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: ball game is over. Speaking of what was their own 1206 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,439 Speaker 1: with the call w z g C. Young Waiku kicked 1207 00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,520 Speaker 1: the forty yard field goals time expire. Matt Ryan threw 1208 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Is the Falcons top the Giants seventeen fourteen 1209 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 1: and they always vicious nasty clause out double wounded animal gain. 1210 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,280 Speaker 1: The Giants had a seven point lead after se Kwon 1211 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 1: Barkley how to TD dive from one yard out and 1212 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,160 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones then followed up with a two point version 1213 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 1: fourteen seven got Eli manning ceremony at halftime. It's the 1214 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,880 Speaker 1: Giants specifically set this up. Let's get a dog team 1215 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 1: into our building when the weather is nice in September. 1216 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: Make it a homecoming type game. When Eli there, he 1217 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 1: does his speech and then we roll. But guess what. 1218 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 1: The defense could not make the seven point lead stand up. 1219 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 1: The offense couldn't do anything in the final quarter after 1220 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,160 Speaker 1: that touchdown, and the Falcon's offense that had struggled mightily 1221 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,959 Speaker 1: in the first two weeks, came to life just enough 1222 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 1: to beat a Giant's team that might be very bad. 1223 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 1: The fact that they're winless in what feels like a 1224 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 1: little bit of a softer portion of their schedule will 1225 01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:02,840 Speaker 1: as they now get into the teeth of their schedule. 1226 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 1: Bodes very poorly for New York and in general. There 1227 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 1: have been there have been times when New York football 1228 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,560 Speaker 1: has had bad seasons. Uh, Jets and Giants together, this 1229 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: one could be as bad as any has ever been. 1230 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 1: That's where it's trending right now. Well, maybe they were 1231 01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 1: trying to honor the last four years of Eli Manning's career. 1232 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 1: You know, don't hit out Greg, you know, because there's 1233 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 1: a whole lot of losing then too, um Man. That 1234 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:34,880 Speaker 1: is absolutely brutal to lose in this way to the Falcons, 1235 01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: like Falcon stink by the way, you'll watch this game, like, okay, 1236 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 1: the Falcons one, and they actually their schedule softens up 1237 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 1: a little bit now and they have a chance to 1238 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,520 Speaker 1: kind of get things together. But I don't see the 1239 01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Falcons is a good team at all. The the fact 1240 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,320 Speaker 1: that you let this team beat you and you're building 1241 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 1: is a very bad sign. You set up the halftime, 1242 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, ceremony, and Eli Manning was emotional this week 1243 01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 1: talking about it like he was really almost not surprise, 1244 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,240 Speaker 1: but like it meant a lot to him. I've rarely 1245 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:07,720 Speaker 1: seen him talk like that. And to Boo owned the 1246 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: owner John Mara. During that halftime speech, the crowd is 1247 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,480 Speaker 1: booing Mara. I just go back to the year I 1248 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 1: lived in New York a decade and the reverence with 1249 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 1: which the New York Football Giants fan base in media 1250 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 1: and the whole city. It's really a giant city, as 1251 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 1: you know, like in the city held the maras was 1252 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 1: was annoying frankly and uh and at the time because 1253 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: that's yeah, as a Patriots fan, but also just like 1254 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine, you know, they just got amazing coverage 1255 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,600 Speaker 1: and it really shows how far they've fallen the last 1256 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,680 Speaker 1: five or six years or eight years, I guess, um, 1257 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,640 Speaker 1: and he's getting booed. I don't know that that amazes me. 1258 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 1: And then I'm sure it's gonna be on the back 1259 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,920 Speaker 1: page of the post in the Daily News tomorrow that 1260 01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 1: I guess. There was a photo captured of a garbage 1261 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,200 Speaker 1: can that um the owner kicked over after the Giants 1262 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 1: went down, And maybe he got kicked over because he 1263 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 1: got booted halftime. Either way, I mean, listen, if you 1264 01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 1: look at what the Giants have done since they won 1265 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:13,919 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl nine and seven, no playoffs one year 1266 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 1: nine and seven seven and nine, six and ten, six 1267 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 1: and ten, eleven and five and under Ben McAdoo. I 1268 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 1: don't know how that happened, but then they had the 1269 01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:23,520 Speaker 1: boat thing and then they got wiped out in the 1270 01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,680 Speaker 1: playoffs three and third. This is since now two thousand, seventeen, 1271 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 1: three and thirteen, five and eleven, four and twelve, six 1272 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,439 Speaker 1: and ten and now oh and three. So the fan 1273 01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,880 Speaker 1: base is as a Jets fan, I see it. Oh, 1274 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 1: they're spoiled, but you understand because you expect results when 1275 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,439 Speaker 1: you run very well for a long period of time 1276 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: and they just the results are not there. And they 1277 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,480 Speaker 1: they're very banged up right now, and you have to 1278 01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:51,280 Speaker 1: factor that in because Daniel Jones um did not have 1279 01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:56,800 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepard who hurt his leg. The Darius Layton he 1280 01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,160 Speaker 1: left the game in the first half of the hamstring injury. 1281 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 1: We know Evan Ingram and Kenny Golladay are both banged up. 1282 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,400 Speaker 1: Blake Martinez, who is a very important part of their defense, 1283 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: he got hurt in this game. Um, so they are 1284 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 1: not at full strength for a roster that doesn't need 1285 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,120 Speaker 1: it's core players to be disappearing. If you want one 1286 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 1: bit of good news for the Giants, I think Sae 1287 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,440 Speaker 1: Kwan is getting closer to being Sae Kwan again. He 1288 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 1: had lead back type usage in Week three, so I 1289 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 1: think the restraints are off him. But an Atlanta team 1290 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 1: that went into this game being outscored thirty eight zero 1291 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter through week two weeks, to let 1292 01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 1: them come back on you on this day. That's why 1293 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,720 Speaker 1: they're booing. I mean, you gotta give young Wick Ku 1294 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 1: a nice corner table in the Kicker Club tonight. I 1295 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 1: know it's all about Tucker, but COO's coming off that 1296 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. He hits the game winner. He's the man, 1297 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 1: right Quardurel Patterson, maybe invite him. He seems like he'd 1298 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,480 Speaker 1: be fun at a club. He's he's a leading receiver. 1299 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,560 Speaker 1: They've unlocked spat. Someone's actually done it. I don't think 1300 01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 1: this can last the whole season, but someone has finally 1301 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 1: unlocked the offensive weapon. Quardurell Patters. These are different circumstances, 1302 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 1: but I hope it tracks on some level. It's like 1303 01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 1: you remember on June two thousand nine when Michael Jackson 1304 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:11,000 Speaker 1: died and then Fara Faucet also died that day, and 1305 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 1: nobody talked about Fara Faucet, who was an icon in 1306 01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 1: her time because Michael Jackson was that big. Justin Tucker 1307 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 1: is Michael Jackson and Fara Faucet is young Waiku? Is 1308 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 1: that track at all? Yeah? I mean he'll take that. 1309 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 1: You know people had all posters up. Those people Faucet 1310 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 1: All right, Uh, let's move on Fields weight as the 1311 01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,000 Speaker 1: Browns load up, snap back, he's got it here, cups 1312 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,600 Speaker 1: coral balla here, cups scaring. They got him a mile 1313 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 1: Scarret four and a half sacks on the afternoon. Oh, 1314 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 1: Jim Donovan with the called w K RK Miles Garrett. 1315 01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,520 Speaker 1: He's here now. You were wondering where he is, where 1316 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,520 Speaker 1: he was, He's here now. The super pass rusher said 1317 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,320 Speaker 1: a franchise record with four and a half sacks as 1318 01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:03,520 Speaker 1: the Browns took down Justin Fields nine times to six. 1319 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 1: Win at the dog Pound. Now to talk about the game, 1320 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 1: we welcome in an old friend of the Around the 1321 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:19,160 Speaker 1: NFL podcast, a legend, the great Kevin patra keV. How 1322 01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,800 Speaker 1: are you? First of all, pretty good? How's it going? 1323 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,880 Speaker 1: Look at you? You're looking great. You're wearing a Dodger's hat, 1324 01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean, firefighter sweatcher. You're you're a real man there 1325 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:36,920 Speaker 1: patrastled Beard the whole thing. Patrick's with his dad. Um, Patrick, 1326 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 1: this was an interesting game to get you back, and 1327 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the lines if you're okay with that. 1328 01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:44,920 Speaker 1: A little bit later, kevi um but U embattled coach 1329 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 1: and officially in front of Mattneggie's name, you have to 1330 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,520 Speaker 1: say in battled coach. Mattege was left to try to 1331 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: wrap his head around the ineptitude of his offense after 1332 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 1: this game, an offense that managed a single netyard of 1333 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,479 Speaker 1: passing in four quarters. Here's what Naggie had to say 1334 01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:04,480 Speaker 1: after the carnage was through. Um, you know this is 1335 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,439 Speaker 1: not how we wanted it to go. You almost can't 1336 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,000 Speaker 1: even make it up. It's that bad. H So, but 1337 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:10,919 Speaker 1: we got to get to the film and we got 1338 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,240 Speaker 1: to make sure that we're hard on ourselves and we 1339 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 1: understand the wise Um, and and really just go from there. Patrick. 1340 01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 1: You almost can cannot make it up, he says. I 1341 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:27,240 Speaker 1: just don't even understand how you can be such a failure, Um, 1342 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 1: coming from where he came from Cancer City, and like, 1343 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:36,200 Speaker 1: what heck was your game plan? Ja taking justin Fields, 1344 01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 1: one of the most athletic quarterbacks in the league, and 1345 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,640 Speaker 1: trying to make him a pocket pastor it like he 1346 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: did he forget that Andy Dalton was out this week. 1347 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense the game plan. It's like 1348 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,560 Speaker 1: as bad of a day as it was for Fields, 1349 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,440 Speaker 1: and it was a struggle. It was ten times a 1350 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 1: hundred times a thousand times worse for Matt Maggie. He 1351 01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how he survives another game 1352 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,040 Speaker 1: like that. The only thing is by the grace of 1353 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,520 Speaker 1: the ownership, who doesn't seem to want to make any changes. 1354 01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,680 Speaker 1: It was just piss poor, if I can say that 1355 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,120 Speaker 1: from from a managerial standpoint of how you ran this game. 1356 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 1: What the GM put in front of your quarterback. The 1357 01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 1: offensive line couldn't block a soul. Myles Garrett, you know, 1358 01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 1: whipped Jason Peters. Anybody who thought that that was a 1359 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,760 Speaker 1: good matchup was fooling themselves. And how they didn't have 1360 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,040 Speaker 1: extra protection justin Fields had zero chance in this game, 1361 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 1: zero zero chance. He was pressured on a set of 1362 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,600 Speaker 1: his dropbacks like literally one out every two times, and 1363 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,800 Speaker 1: every other time no receivers were open. There wasn't one 1364 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 1: schemed easy throw out in the flat you know, whatever, 1365 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,800 Speaker 1: where were there? Where were the wide receiver screens where 1366 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,679 Speaker 1: and Naggio probably le we only had six team plays 1367 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,920 Speaker 1: in first courter, Yeah, because you couldn't do with the 1368 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,000 Speaker 1: ball anyway, So that's why you only had team placed. 1369 01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,640 Speaker 1: It's just from a coaching perspective, this was a disaster, 1370 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 1: an absolute It is so good to have you back 1371 01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: and have the fire here. And I was to say, 1372 01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,440 Speaker 1: if you could give me a little bit more perspective 1373 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,559 Speaker 1: on how Naggie failed in your opinion, and it's sad 1374 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,040 Speaker 1: where there are a lot of deep drops for fields 1375 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: as opposed to plays to try to get the ball 1376 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:11,400 Speaker 1: out of his hand and get the offense moving in 1377 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,800 Speaker 1: a different way. I think I counted like one through 1378 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 1: three quarters there was he moved the pocket twice, Like 1379 01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 1: where were the rollouts to generate easy throat? Where were 1380 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 1: the split the fields in half? And he's got to 1381 01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: go here? Boom boom, just quick, no thinking about it, 1382 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,559 Speaker 1: like you're a You're asking an offensive line who can't 1383 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 1: block anybody to block one of the best defensive lines 1384 01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,240 Speaker 1: in the league. And after the first six sacks you 1385 01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:34,600 Speaker 1: to think you to change something, But no, it was 1386 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 1: the same thing over and over again. It doesn't It 1387 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 1: was the biggest ineptitude. And I feel bad that we're 1388 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,320 Speaker 1: harping on the negative side when when the Browns played 1389 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,680 Speaker 1: out of their minds and the credit should go to 1390 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,680 Speaker 1: them at a certain level. But it's just the surprise. 1391 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thought that the Bears were gonna win, 1392 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 1: or most people should not have. But to be embarrassed 1393 01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 1: in this fashion with your rookie quarterback, um, you know, 1394 01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:03,559 Speaker 1: just put I mean the number. We should point out 1395 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,920 Speaker 1: some of the numbers they finished with. Forty seven yards 1396 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 1: they have in the first quarter or that was the 1397 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:13,800 Speaker 1: whole game, seven total yards. Uh. They've finished with one 1398 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 1: passing yard passing yard that was one. Uh. They average 1399 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:20,880 Speaker 1: one point one yards for play, which I saw was 1400 01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 1: the second lowest um of this century. I'm amazed that 1401 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:27,960 Speaker 1: forty seven yards wasn't like the all time record. The 1402 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,879 Speaker 1: shocking thing to me is that you know, Fields finishes 1403 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 1: six for twenty, that he only runs three times, and 1404 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,040 Speaker 1: so as much as all of this it makes sense, 1405 01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 1: is on um naggie, you have to give the Browns 1406 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,360 Speaker 1: defensive line a lot of credit, and you have to 1407 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,920 Speaker 1: at least understand that Justin Fields's instincts are not at 1408 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,880 Speaker 1: the point right now where he can come up with 1409 01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,080 Speaker 1: something because he took nine sacks and he only ran 1410 01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,800 Speaker 1: three times. The sacks to me are partly a quarterback 1411 01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:01,160 Speaker 1: stat and so it's a combination of everything, isn't it. Yes, 1412 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,360 Speaker 1: absolutely correct. And of those forty seven yards you mentioned 1413 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 1: forty one, they had not forty one yards in the 1414 01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 1: first half, which ob was was good. But then he 1415 01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 1: only got six in the second half. So where we 1416 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 1: where were the adjustment? That's what my question is. And 1417 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,680 Speaker 1: to your point about running, he did try to get 1418 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 1: up he a couple of those. I think three or 1419 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 1: four of those sacks were him just not getting back 1420 01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,080 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, and then therefore it goes 1421 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 1: for a sack. He was escaping the pocket and the 1422 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,799 Speaker 1: lineman did a good job of corraling him before he 1423 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,120 Speaker 1: slipped the tackle last week to seal the win. He 1424 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 1: couldn't do that this week. That's how good the Browns were. 1425 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:34,720 Speaker 1: How do b J look? Because uh, you know I 1426 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 1: saw something just that he was very efficient. His five catches, 1427 01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,760 Speaker 1: all like picked up first downs, were big plays. They 1428 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,519 Speaker 1: ended up with four eighteen yards, so they there they 1429 01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,600 Speaker 1: were plus you know, the three fifty and yardage like 1430 01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:50,599 Speaker 1: that to six and first downs, like had the running 1431 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,240 Speaker 1: game going. But how did ob J look? He looked good. 1432 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:55,920 Speaker 1: To me, he looked I didn't see any like hesitation 1433 01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,759 Speaker 1: on his cuts he went up for his best catch 1434 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,800 Speaker 1: was wasn't an O. B J type perception ridiculous one 1435 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 1: out of bounds where he's falling in. If Baker could 1436 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:08,479 Speaker 1: have kept it in bounds a little bit more, it 1437 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,160 Speaker 1: would have been a ridiculous. It would be on all 1438 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 1: the higher lights already, like squeeze that ball, and it 1439 01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 1: was like, You're like, how did he come down with that? 1440 01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 1: He just couldn't couldn't drag his toes. But that was that. 1441 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 1: That to me was the player Like that showed like, Okay, 1442 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,840 Speaker 1: he's good, he's back like he might not have been bounds, 1443 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,320 Speaker 1: but I don't care, like I think he's still got it. 1444 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 1: And the total yards margin of minus three seventy one 1445 01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,200 Speaker 1: for the Bears was the worst since Week seven of 1446 01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:37,400 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies six, So we're talking historic disparity here between 1447 01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,559 Speaker 1: two teams. It should have been it should have been worse. Honestly, 1448 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,160 Speaker 1: if the Bears defensive line didn't get five sacks early 1449 01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,360 Speaker 1: and forced to turnover on downs early when Stefanski went 1450 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:48,479 Speaker 1: forward on fourth and short and they got stuff. The 1451 01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,160 Speaker 1: Browns got stuff. This would have been a complete laugher. 1452 01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:52,920 Speaker 1: It should have been a fifty it should have been 1453 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 1: a fifty burder. There's no doubt in my mind they couldn't. 1454 01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 1: U Hunt was unguardable. They the Browns to me to 1455 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,519 Speaker 1: have like the best screen game the league right now. Uh, 1456 01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,200 Speaker 1: the Hunt screens are just they can't tackle him. He 1457 01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,840 Speaker 1: was pinballing off guys and then the combo with Chub 1458 01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 1: just just they just ground him down. And to make 1459 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,600 Speaker 1: it matters, where Snaggy kicking a field goal when you 1460 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,160 Speaker 1: finally got down and the score was filled, ten point 1461 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 1: game and he kicks a field goal and you're like, 1462 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 1: why the hell are you haven't you got in the 1463 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,840 Speaker 1: red zone once, luckily, luckily once that you got there, 1464 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,840 Speaker 1: and taking a field goal against the team that's glad? 1465 01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,800 Speaker 1: Are you becoming a fan? How you've lived in Chicago? Now? 1466 01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 1: How long? Osmosis? I you know what? You know what 1467 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,960 Speaker 1: it is. I am so used to rooting for teams 1468 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 1: that I just, you know, it just warmed my heart. 1469 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 1: You speak, you speak for a angry fan. Base and 1470 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 1: I know Bears fans, as hard as it is to 1471 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 1: listen to today's show, are happy that you're here. A Patchel, 1472 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,680 Speaker 1: Let's get off this game before your head explodes and 1473 01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:50,639 Speaker 1: head to Jacksonville, where another rookie quarterback struggled. Good job, Brownies, 1474 01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,599 Speaker 1: Lawrence takes turns, gives to hide. It's a flee flicker, 1475 01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:56,960 Speaker 1: pitching it back to Lawrence Eason. Trouble jump ball pass 1476 01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,759 Speaker 1: picked off their side by Murphy at the thirty running 1477 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 1: at to the left of Byron Murphy after a horrible 1478 01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:07,559 Speaker 1: mistake by the rookie where the pick six and the 1479 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:13,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals are back in front. Oh, Dave passed with the 1480 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 1: call k t a r A lot of ominous moments 1481 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:21,280 Speaker 1: in that call leading up to it fleet flicker. He's 1482 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:26,400 Speaker 1: in trouble. He throws it up. Byron Murphy intercept the 1483 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,679 Speaker 1: two passes, including when he returned for a touchdown. Following 1484 01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,320 Speaker 1: that botched fleet flicker, Cardinals rally to beat the still 1485 01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,840 Speaker 1: very bad Yeaguars thirty one nineteen the Red Birds of 1486 01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 1: three and oh. For the first time since two thousand fifteen, 1487 01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Patra Arizona was able to overcome a catastrophe, but special 1488 01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:46,519 Speaker 1: teams will play that in a minute. But what are 1489 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:50,599 Speaker 1: your thoughts on this game? UM? I think that good 1490 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,519 Speaker 1: teams win on the road when they're not playing well, 1491 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,200 Speaker 1: they find ways to make place. And that's exactly what 1492 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals did. UM talking about another coach who could 1493 01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:01,519 Speaker 1: be on a hot seat and took him probably took 1494 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,240 Speaker 1: himself off of it, Cliff Kingsbury. This looked like one 1495 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:08,000 Speaker 1: of those like speed bump games which as as you mentioned, 1496 01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,639 Speaker 1: he decided to kick a six year field goal gets 1497 01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 1: returned for a touchdown. Jags take a just they're just 1498 01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 1: running the ball down the throat. This is the best 1499 01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:20,600 Speaker 1: game I've seen from Trevor Lawrence until that pick and 1500 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,600 Speaker 1: then it all comes all comes crashing down on the 1501 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,599 Speaker 1: Jags and the Cards find a way to pull it out, 1502 01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,280 Speaker 1: and they just steamrolled their way away from it. It 1503 01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:29,680 Speaker 1: was it wasn't even close at the end of it. 1504 01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,599 Speaker 1: You know, they turned a ten nine point deficit into 1505 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,479 Speaker 1: a fifteen point lead and like no time, it was over. 1506 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 1: And that's what good teams and I that's what good 1507 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,720 Speaker 1: teams do. It wasn't Kyler Murray's best game. He threw 1508 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,360 Speaker 1: a pick that I don't even know what he saw 1509 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 1: the safety. It was like basically just then arm punt 1510 01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:48,519 Speaker 1: on like second down. He was this year. To be honest, 1511 01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 1: actually he said one each week like total Groner that 1512 01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,559 Speaker 1: if like Jamis threw it, you'd be be like, oh, 1513 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,599 Speaker 1: there's Jamis again. But the good thing is every other 1514 01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,519 Speaker 1: play Kyler Murray looks like you know, an m V 1515 01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,160 Speaker 1: peak in it right, And he did, and he made plays. 1516 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:04,960 Speaker 1: He didn't make as many plays with his legs, but 1517 01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,479 Speaker 1: he's like the when it's fourth and one, he's I 1518 01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:09,439 Speaker 1: don't think there's a team that can stop him. He 1519 01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,800 Speaker 1: had one year touchdown where nobody was within twenty yards 1520 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:13,679 Speaker 1: of him, and then he converted a big fourth down 1521 01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,640 Speaker 1: to ice the game basically late uh and on a 1522 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,200 Speaker 1: day where new Hopkins was kind of was quiet and 1523 01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,400 Speaker 1: he had three catches they couldn't they just couldn't connect, 1524 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,040 Speaker 1: and they had a penalty on the white the way 1525 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:27,160 Speaker 1: one big play. I mean, I thought A J. Green, 1526 01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,080 Speaker 1: who I've been a big critic of, I think he 1527 01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,320 Speaker 1: showed what he can be at this stage of his career. 1528 01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,920 Speaker 1: Possession receiver, and Kyler is clearly not afraid to thread 1529 01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:36,240 Speaker 1: at him in the needle. I mean, he had one 1530 01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:39,479 Speaker 1: jump ball, like Kyler underthrew it by probably like six 1531 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 1: yards and he just boxed the defender out like he 1532 01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 1: was getting a rebound. So I mean they had two 1533 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,439 Speaker 1: hundred yard wideouts and neither one was Hopkins. A J. 1534 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,640 Speaker 1: Green best five for one or round dam more for 1535 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 1: that matter, and Kurt goes seven for one or four. 1536 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:55,360 Speaker 1: They've sort of got the Cliff Kingsbury four wide receiver 1537 01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,200 Speaker 1: thing that we were sold on two years ago. They 1538 01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,559 Speaker 1: kind of got it. If Green can do just have 1539 01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 1: pop up games like that. And I thought even his 1540 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,080 Speaker 1: touchdown last week showed like a little bit of agility, 1541 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,360 Speaker 1: where like, okay, like now that you're the third most 1542 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 1: important receiver on this team, like that's okay, You're fine. 1543 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,679 Speaker 1: I think I think they were over reliant on Hopkins 1544 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:17,840 Speaker 1: way too much last year. And I think this is 1545 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:19,840 Speaker 1: the signs of this offense is growing, which we've been 1546 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,439 Speaker 1: questioning whether Kingsbury can grow this offense, and they're finally 1547 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 1: starting to show it and Kyler doesn't have to be 1548 01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 1: wild plays every other play. I think they showed that 1549 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:35,719 Speaker 1: yer Oh sorry, Patrick urban Meyer said, um of the 1550 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 1: sleeve flicker that changed that game, It's going to be 1551 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:39,439 Speaker 1: a hard one to get out of my mind. I 1552 01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:42,400 Speaker 1: would imagine Cliff Kingsbury, even though um, they had a 1553 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,280 Speaker 1: victory in this game, it's gonna be hard to get 1554 01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,080 Speaker 1: out of his mind. A play that happened at the 1555 01:17:47,120 --> 01:18:15,200 Speaker 1: end of the first half. Let's listen to that. Yeah, 1556 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,839 Speaker 1: you know, Gus was bummed when he saw his assignment 1557 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:26,760 Speaker 1: that he got the Jaguars and he was going down 1558 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,200 Speaker 1: to Duval for the week. But he made a count 1559 01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 1: on that field goal line up at bomb field goal 1560 01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,960 Speaker 1: is at sixty plus yards nine yards the other way. 1561 01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,240 Speaker 1: I almost swung that game, but Cardinals were able to 1562 01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,599 Speaker 1: correct it was It was one of those questions questionable 1563 01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,640 Speaker 1: calls at Kingsbury has at least once or twice a 1564 01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:45,200 Speaker 1: game that you're like, what are you doing, dude? What 1565 01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:47,479 Speaker 1: is your game management? I mean, Jamal ag Knew has 1566 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 1: been one of the most dynamic, if not the most 1567 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:54,320 Speaker 1: dynamic returner. For the last return touchdown this year before that, 1568 01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 1: I think that's two for him. He's like half their office. 1569 01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:01,280 Speaker 1: I don't I don't understand what what what the player 1570 01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 1: there was whatever they ended up not burning, but that 1571 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,800 Speaker 1: was the turning point. You thought, Holy crap. And then 1572 01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:11,360 Speaker 1: how Trevor Lawrence had a great touchdown throw, perfect perfect 1573 01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,719 Speaker 1: past I'm probably what I figured was his third read 1574 01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,559 Speaker 1: to get to get them up in the second half, 1575 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 1: and it was kind of like, Okay, this could be 1576 01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,759 Speaker 1: a dangerous game for Arizona because they came out flat, 1577 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,200 Speaker 1: the defense wasn't really getting pressure, which I was kind 1578 01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:28,360 Speaker 1: of surprised about until late, and that pick six really 1579 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 1: changed the entire complexion of the game. Cliff Cliff's funny, 1580 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,639 Speaker 1: Cliff kings Are. He's funny because he's the type of coach. 1581 01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 1: They asked him after the game, you gret it? He's like, Nope, 1582 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:38,920 Speaker 1: I don't regret it. I wouldn't change the thing. You 1583 01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:42,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't change the thing. What are you talking about? Your 1584 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 1: kicker didn't reach and you gave up to touch that. Like, 1585 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,599 Speaker 1: how do you say that you wouldn't change the thing. 1586 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 1: It's like it'd be like the Fox executive saying like, oh, 1587 01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:50,559 Speaker 1: I wouldn't change the thing. I would have just kept 1588 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:54,559 Speaker 1: Gus Johnson on some BS like Big twelve Game for 1589 01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:56,559 Speaker 1: eight years instead of having him on the NFL. What 1590 01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:58,880 Speaker 1: were we doing there for those eight ten years with 1591 01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:03,000 Speaker 1: without Gus Johnson. That's a certain that's a certain personality 1592 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,599 Speaker 1: tick in a certain type of personality where you never 1593 01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 1: admit that you did anything wrong fully confident in everything 1594 01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,600 Speaker 1: you do. You're supposing that's projecting strength. But sometimes you 1595 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 1: just want to slap him and be like, you know 1596 01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:17,280 Speaker 1: that was wrong. You should have just owned up to it. 1597 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:21,719 Speaker 1: But that's what it is. The longest kick in NFL 1598 01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:27,880 Speaker 1: history involving Patrick's favorite team. Right after this, this is 1599 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 1: going to be an epically long field goal, a sixty 1600 01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,360 Speaker 1: six yard field goal try for Justin Tucker. It would 1601 01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 1: be the longest in NFL history. If it's good, a 1602 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,759 Speaker 1: sixty six yard try. Tucker's kick is on the way. 1603 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,920 Speaker 1: It is good and prost bar and it bumbles grow 1604 01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:50,280 Speaker 1: it is good. Time has expired Justin Tucker for the 1605 01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:54,080 Speaker 1: longest field goal in NFL history.

I mean, 1613 01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:33,559 Speaker 1: the place is going on, Patra, I don't know how 1614 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,599 Speaker 1: close do you watch this game? I coorse you're famously 1615 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,439 Speaker 1: Alliance fan. I didn't watch one second. Yeah, you're very 1616 01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:42,040 Speaker 1: busy man, obviously on Sunday, So don't really need YouTube 1617 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:45,360 Speaker 1: give analysis on a game you didn't watch. But I 1618 01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 1: just maybe as Alliance fan, trying to give us some framing, 1619 01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:53,000 Speaker 1: some contact context on what's the latest kind of stomach 1620 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,720 Speaker 1: punch in an absurd way in the histories, long and 1621 01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:00,160 Speaker 1: tortured history. Perfect law, perfect law, couldn't cold in the 1622 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,040 Speaker 1: print frame to any better. Get You get a scrappy 1623 01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 1: kneecappers just fighting to the bitter end against the A F, C, 1624 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,160 Speaker 1: AFC power, and you know they keep that perfect streak 1625 01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 1: alive to have as high of a draft pick as possible. 1626 01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:16,080 Speaker 1: I couldn't any better. So you got that, you got 1627 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 1: that big picture look, I mean you, yeah, you weren't 1628 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:24,400 Speaker 1: in the crowd though. People were heartbroken the the crowd shots. 1629 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:27,240 Speaker 1: I mean Patrick, poor Patrick, he's tried to like divorce 1630 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,799 Speaker 1: himself emotionally. He's not even covering Lions games on Sundays 1631 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,400 Speaker 1: now and then we drag him in, uh to talk 1632 01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,960 Speaker 1: about this one. You're helping us, Yeah, you're helping join 1633 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,120 Speaker 1: it and we're just like burying you. I mean, it's 1634 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,320 Speaker 1: amazing they were in that in this position though, Like 1635 01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:46,040 Speaker 1: Calif Raymond is their leading receiver and they're and they're 1636 01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:48,880 Speaker 1: almost beating the Ravens. I know, Marky's Brown dropped a 1637 01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:50,880 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns in this game, and maybe the score 1638 01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:54,879 Speaker 1: would be different, but it's pretty wild that Lamar Jackson 1639 01:22:55,080 --> 01:23:01,599 Speaker 1: had a fourth and nineteen from the Ravens sixteen yard line, uh, 1640 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 1: with twenty six seconds to go. I'd love to see 1641 01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:07,880 Speaker 1: the win probability at that point and they win the game, 1642 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 1: and they had no time outs at the at the time. 1643 01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:13,840 Speaker 1: And and it should be said because Dan Campbell wants 1644 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: you to know and Lions fans like you were just 1645 01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,639 Speaker 1: pumping up Lions fans the other day. Greg. They're getting 1646 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,040 Speaker 1: beat thirty seventeen by the Packers and they're cheering wildly 1647 01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:25,920 Speaker 1: for a random play. They're dying because after they pick 1648 01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 1: up that first down on fourth and forever, the Ravens 1649 01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:31,680 Speaker 1: decided to run one more play where they sail the 1650 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,120 Speaker 1: ball out of bounds on an incompletionent before bringing out 1651 01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,240 Speaker 1: Tucker for sixty six, but they didn't get the playoff 1652 01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 1: and the officials missed it. It should have been a 1653 01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,439 Speaker 1: five yard in fraction and made a sixty six yard 1654 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 1: or a seventy one yarder, and then it becomes a 1655 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:49,040 Speaker 1: hell Mary most likely um and most likely a Lions win. 1656 01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,000 Speaker 1: I mean, just that type of game. And if you're 1657 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,599 Speaker 1: the Ravens, you're like, man, we got lucky here because 1658 01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 1: we did not play well in this game. We almost 1659 01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,559 Speaker 1: went to Detroit and lost a lines to that's probably 1660 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 1: gonna win win two or three games all season. So 1661 01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:06,720 Speaker 1: Justin Tucker bails out the Ravens. It's something he's been 1662 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:10,479 Speaker 1: doing for a decade now. He's the best kicker ever ever, 1663 01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:12,280 Speaker 1: and I don't want to hear anything else you can 1664 01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:15,240 Speaker 1: tell me out Infinitieri is is the greatest because of 1665 01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,879 Speaker 1: what he did in the playoffs. If Justin Tucker got 1666 01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:21,679 Speaker 1: that level of UM chances in the postseason, he would 1667 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:24,280 Speaker 1: be universally seen as the best. He's just he's a 1668 01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:26,400 Speaker 1: weapon at a level that no one's ever seen in 1669 01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:30,559 Speaker 1: the sport. That play the fourth and nineteen and then 1670 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,880 Speaker 1: him hitting that kick. I mean, this really was like 1671 01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,559 Speaker 1: the moment of of his career. We said it like 1672 01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,479 Speaker 1: when him coming out to break the record on a 1673 01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:40,559 Speaker 1: game winner. It should be pointed out by the way 1674 01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:46,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens had four players all starters. Well maybe Jalen 1675 01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,960 Speaker 1: Ferguson isn't a starter, but three starters and Jalen Ferguson 1676 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,320 Speaker 1: all go on the COVID list Friday morning. They had 1677 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:54,080 Speaker 1: something like fifteen guys on i R last week, so 1678 01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:58,080 Speaker 1: it's they were they are they are, Yeah, they are 1679 01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,960 Speaker 1: scrambling a little bit, and that helps put into context 1680 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:03,280 Speaker 1: what happened here. But it's still surprising when you had 1681 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 1: a thirteen nothing lead that you left it up to Tucker. 1682 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,080 Speaker 1: But maybe it's more perfect that way. I mean, it's 1683 01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,800 Speaker 1: the perfect Lions loss at the perfect justin Tucker moment, 1684 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,760 Speaker 1: perfect Lamar Jackson ending two for a second straight week, 1685 01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:15,880 Speaker 1: he comes up with some eroics and he breaks the 1686 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 1: Matt Prator record set the sixty four yard or in 1687 01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:24,080 Speaker 1: week fourteen. That was done in the elevation high altitude 1688 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,760 Speaker 1: of Denver. So this was obviously in perfect conditions as 1689 01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:28,960 Speaker 1: a dome at Ford Field, but I mean it is 1690 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:34,040 Speaker 1: the real deal kick by Justin Tucker and really, I mean, 1691 01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:35,840 Speaker 1: just save the Ravens from what would have been a 1692 01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:39,400 Speaker 1: really bad, bad, bad loss. I like your theory though, 1693 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 1: Patra that Lions fans, it's okay to be hurt, especially 1694 01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:45,960 Speaker 1: if you're in that building you just want to w 1695 01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:49,599 Speaker 1: But when you're picking first overall because of this uh 1696 01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 1: in April, you'll probably actually say, oh, that was good, 1697 01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 1: that's a good that's a healthy way to look at it. Yeah, 1698 01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:55,960 Speaker 1: I think you know you still you want to get one. 1699 01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 1: You don't want to be and seventeen the first you're 1700 01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:59,639 Speaker 1: already the first team to go. And six you want 1701 01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 1: to be the first team ever ago oh and seventeen, 1702 01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,160 Speaker 1: And I don't think they will. I think you take 1703 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,200 Speaker 1: up positive, like, Okay, they play, they they battled, and 1704 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 1: they have all season, and I think that's what you're 1705 01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:10,720 Speaker 1: looking for, that young players are playing better. You know, 1706 01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,720 Speaker 1: they don't get the number one overall. Picking like a 1707 01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:18,400 Speaker 1: draft without a great quarterback well who knows, yeah, like 1708 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:20,639 Speaker 1: an Eric Fisher type of draft. There's not like a 1709 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 1: quarterback right now that everyone agrees on. But it's very 1710 01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: early and per next Gen stats, Tucker had a field 1711 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:31,280 Speaker 1: goal probability of ten point four percent. There another Justin 1712 01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 1: Tucker stats sixteen of sixteen on field goals in the 1713 01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,800 Speaker 1: final minute of regulation, the most makes without a miss 1714 01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,200 Speaker 1: in the final minute of regulation since at least nineteen 1715 01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:42,800 Speaker 1: eighty three when they started tracking this stuff. Everybody sucked 1716 01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,400 Speaker 1: at kicking before three. So this is the best ever. 1717 01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,240 Speaker 1: And he's never missed in the final minute of regulation. 1718 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,519 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's freaky stuff, first ballot, Hall 1719 01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,679 Speaker 1: of Fame stuff. Patrick. I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna 1720 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,639 Speaker 1: give you an option here because I when there are 1721 01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:59,280 Speaker 1: these type of things that happened on a Sunday, I'd 1722 01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,800 Speaker 1: like to hear the other side of it, the other 1723 01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 1: radio call. But I don't need to subject you to that. 1724 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,439 Speaker 1: If you don't want to hear it, you do want 1725 01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,600 Speaker 1: to hear it, Oh yeah, sure, all right? And I 1726 01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:10,559 Speaker 1: just want to like the pain. He likes the pain. 1727 01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:14,519 Speaker 1: It's like him and doing workouts too. It's like that Miller, right, 1728 01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,559 Speaker 1: that's the burn, all right, Dan Miller's call of Justin 1729 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,880 Speaker 1: Tucker's mastery of the kicking game. This will, in fact 1730 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:26,720 Speaker 1: be a sixty six yard attempt for Justin Tucker. This 1731 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:30,320 Speaker 1: game hangs in the balance with the longest kick in 1732 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,639 Speaker 1: the history of the National Football League on the line. 1733 01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 1: Tucker's ready, Bear's the snap, spot down kick on the way. 1734 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,040 Speaker 1: It is off and it is off the craft bar 1735 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:50,360 Speaker 1: and throw. Oh my goodness, are you kidding me? Justin 1736 01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:55,240 Speaker 1: Tucker from sixty six hit the Croft bar and it 1737 01:27:55,400 --> 01:28:00,799 Speaker 1: bounced through and the Ravens are celebrating on the field 1738 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,839 Speaker 1: the longest field goal in the history of the NFL. 1739 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:11,360 Speaker 1: Here's just beaten Detroit Lions. Oh my goodness. All right, Patrick, 1740 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,800 Speaker 1: thank you buddy, you're I mean, you're a warrior, and 1741 01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 1: we really it's great to hear from you, and thanks 1742 01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:19,680 Speaker 1: for helping us out shorthanded and not me not being 1743 01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:21,240 Speaker 1: able to talk to him. Good to see your face, 1744 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,400 Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick. Appreciate you guys. See you, buddy, I mean 1745 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,280 Speaker 1: Patcher's Patrick has been a lot around a long time here. 1746 01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,200 Speaker 1: When you know, he was here before I got here. 1747 01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:33,280 Speaker 1: He was like a utility man. He was doing stuff 1748 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:36,680 Speaker 1: on the production side and switched over to writing like 1749 01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:40,400 Speaker 1: he's a lifer. He's a grinder. He is um. He 1750 01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:44,879 Speaker 1: doesn't suffer fools either. I think he broke. He's definitely 1751 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:49,439 Speaker 1: leading the league and um, you know expletive beeps per 1752 01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 1: minute on this show. I think he squeezed in three 1753 01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,960 Speaker 1: in a solid twenty minute. I mean it's like he's 1754 01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:58,240 Speaker 1: taking his shots. It's good commentary, good football commentary, and 1755 01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,960 Speaker 1: it's salt of the earth commentary to what's Kevin Patra 1756 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:06,600 Speaker 1: all right? Which takes us to Sunday night football n 1757 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:13,200 Speaker 1: Crosby to try to win it, and the kick is 1758 01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:19,040 Speaker 1: good to win the game. The forty Niners couldn't take 1759 01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:23,400 Speaker 1: enough time off the plot. At the end, all Aaron 1760 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 1: needed was thirty seven seconds. It's a beautiful sport, isn't it. 1761 01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:36,400 Speaker 1: The the they called soccer the beautiful game, But when 1762 01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:39,720 Speaker 1: when football is at its best, as it was on 1763 01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,280 Speaker 1: Sunday night between the Packers and Niners, it could feel 1764 01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,680 Speaker 1: like you're watching a movie. And that's what it was like. 1765 01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:49,759 Speaker 1: The Niners down six points with a couple of minutes 1766 01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 1: to go, Jimmy g leads him down the field. Robbie 1767 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,920 Speaker 1: Gould hits the point after they're upper point, but Aaron 1768 01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:59,960 Speaker 1: Rodgers is on the other side and he hits two 1769 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:04,000 Speaker 1: big strikes to his guy Davante, setting up a fifty 1770 01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:07,960 Speaker 1: one yard Mason Crosby field goal tents bang straight through 1771 01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:14,679 Speaker 1: the uprights, Packers thirty niners and after the game, Michelle 1772 01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 1: Tafoya talk to Aaron Rodgers, who was also feeling the 1773 01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:22,000 Speaker 1: beauty of the sport. Man actually suggested, I play on 1774 01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:25,080 Speaker 1: the sideline. Uh, that first play, which was something we 1775 01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:28,080 Speaker 1: actually worked on Friday practice, kind of scribbling on the 1776 01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:31,759 Speaker 1: dirt and it worked out perfect. Just put it right over, friends, 1777 01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:33,439 Speaker 1: got us kind of down there a little bit. We 1778 01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:36,760 Speaker 1: need one more play? Um, how could he not be 1779 01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:40,800 Speaker 1: romantic about football? Man? I know you believe that, Greg 1780 01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:45,120 Speaker 1: I do, especially in a night like this, a moment 1781 01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:47,640 Speaker 1: like that's for Rogers, where you're watching one of the 1782 01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:52,240 Speaker 1: greatest ever at the very height of his powers. You 1783 01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,360 Speaker 1: know the numbers in the box score to sixty one 1784 01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:56,599 Speaker 1: and two, and you think, oh, that that's a solid 1785 01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:58,400 Speaker 1: game for Rodgers. This is one of the best games 1786 01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:01,120 Speaker 1: I've seen Rogers play. Mean, there's a million of them. 1787 01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:05,520 Speaker 1: But he was he was almost he was almost perfect. 1788 01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:10,200 Speaker 1: From the first throw was a gem to Lazard for 1789 01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:14,960 Speaker 1: forty two. The touchdown to Valdes Scantling was beautiful. He 1790 01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,760 Speaker 1: had he had an earlier throw to Davante Adams in 1791 01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:20,240 Speaker 1: the game where it's just like there's no room there, 1792 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,040 Speaker 1: and then the rest of the game they're doing all 1793 01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 1: this quick game because that was the game plan and 1794 01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:28,000 Speaker 1: that's working beautifully. Probably the only thing he did wrong 1795 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,840 Speaker 1: in the Fleur can be part of this too, was 1796 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,960 Speaker 1: blow all those time outs early in the half of 1797 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,040 Speaker 1: you know what it did, It just made it more 1798 01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:39,840 Speaker 1: exciting that they made the degree of difficulty even greater. 1799 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:43,240 Speaker 1: When he gets the ball thirty seven seconds left, no 1800 01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:46,120 Speaker 1: time outs, and they run those two plays and that 1801 01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,519 Speaker 1: first throw to Adams is such a tough throw. It's 1802 01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:52,599 Speaker 1: such a great call against like a cover two uh 1803 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 1: in a two minute situation where they're trying to cover 1804 01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:57,800 Speaker 1: everything and you just can't cover that throw, and he 1805 01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:01,519 Speaker 1: makes it absolutely perfect, and he sets up Crosby who 1806 01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:03,600 Speaker 1: might not be in the corner. You know, Tucker is 1807 01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:06,720 Speaker 1: getting all the attention, but Crosby, Crosby's hanging out in 1808 01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,759 Speaker 1: the kicker club again. It's it's the Fara Faucet Michael 1809 01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:14,400 Speaker 1: Jackson thing, because Crosby should be celebrated. Instead he's getting fauceted, 1810 01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,240 Speaker 1: He's getting the foss is getting turned on him. But 1811 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,080 Speaker 1: he has been nails for them. And and Aaron Rodgers 1812 01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:23,120 Speaker 1: said after the game, in addition to the comments you 1813 01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:25,799 Speaker 1: heard that you know he sits next to Mason Crosby 1814 01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 1: on every plane flight. They love each other. He respects 1815 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,920 Speaker 1: him so much. And that was such. That was such 1816 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 1: a gutsy kick. Kickers are so much better now than 1817 01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:35,960 Speaker 1: they used to be. That when a guy drills a 1818 01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:38,479 Speaker 1: fifty one yard or you know, years ago that would 1819 01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:40,040 Speaker 1: have been unheard of, but now just like, oh yeah, 1820 01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:43,759 Speaker 1: he drilled from you could you could make a case 1821 01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:47,880 Speaker 1: Greg that Rogers brilliant, but has the fante Adams of 1822 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:51,280 Speaker 1: all people get wide open twice? He was not wide open. 1823 01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:56,240 Speaker 1: That's that's that first row, the degree of difficulty on that, 1824 01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:59,760 Speaker 1: how deep Adam's got, how far back Warner was as 1825 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:06,000 Speaker 1: like the linebacker. But he had to throw that so 1826 01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:10,519 Speaker 1: hard and yet over the zone like that is such 1827 01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:14,720 Speaker 1: an incredibly high degree of difficulty throw. So I'm not 1828 01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:17,400 Speaker 1: saying he's open at all, and he has to reset 1829 01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:20,519 Speaker 1: his feet moving two ft. I can't remember it was 1830 01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,960 Speaker 1: to his left or is right right before he threw 1831 01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:25,240 Speaker 1: it because he felt the pass rush going. I'm not 1832 01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:27,200 Speaker 1: buying that at all. I don't know if anyone else 1833 01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,720 Speaker 1: in the in the league makes that exact throw at 1834 01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,439 Speaker 1: that moment, it was perfect. I think, Yeah, there's definitely 1835 01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:36,799 Speaker 1: something to be said for Maybe the defense wasn't perfect 1836 01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,439 Speaker 1: in that spot by the Niners, but sometimes one of 1837 01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:41,280 Speaker 1: the greatest of all time just beats you. And that's 1838 01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:45,200 Speaker 1: what happened. And uh, you know, there's a bunch of 1839 01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:47,559 Speaker 1: subplots to come out of this game. Because the Niners 1840 01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:50,280 Speaker 1: are getting shut out in the first half, it's so 1841 01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:52,280 Speaker 1: hard for them to find the end zone. When they 1842 01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:54,519 Speaker 1: finally do in the final seconds to the second quarter, 1843 01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,200 Speaker 1: it's of course Trey Lance who does it on a 1844 01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:58,479 Speaker 1: one yard run after a what had to be a 1845 01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:01,800 Speaker 1: brutally painful sequence or Niners fans that like, why is 1846 01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,519 Speaker 1: this so hard to score? And then I'm thinking to 1847 01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 1: myself as the second half as playing playing out and 1848 01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:09,679 Speaker 1: Jimmy G has that bad fumble that seems to hand 1849 01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,439 Speaker 1: the game to the Packers midway through the fourth quarter, 1850 01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 1: that oh, this is gonna be the week where Kyle 1851 01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,400 Speaker 1: Shanahan might have to make the change because this offense 1852 01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:20,240 Speaker 1: is just not getting done. And it makes me think 1853 01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:21,960 Speaker 1: what Jimmy G was able to do and on that 1854 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,559 Speaker 1: seventy five yard drive in about two and a half minutes. 1855 01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:26,840 Speaker 1: It would have been better for it was three minutes, 1856 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:28,519 Speaker 1: but that's just the way it is. With Aaron Rodgers 1857 01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:31,519 Speaker 1: on the other side, Jimmy G really saved his own bacon, 1858 01:34:31,560 --> 01:34:33,600 Speaker 1: even if he wasn't able to save the Niners. But 1859 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 1: this is the Jimmy G experience. This is why they 1860 01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 1: drafted Trey Lance because these sort of games drive you 1861 01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:41,160 Speaker 1: crazy watching Jimmy G. Just when you think you're out, 1862 01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:42,920 Speaker 1: you're you get back in and just when you think 1863 01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:44,840 Speaker 1: you're in, he does something that you come back out. 1864 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,840 Speaker 1: But it's still the same Jimmy G, which he is 1865 01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 1: uh frenetick his feet like I you know. Tom Brady 1866 01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:55,120 Speaker 1: gets lauded for having very quiet fees, very calm in 1867 01:34:55,160 --> 01:34:58,360 Speaker 1: the pockeys move moving only the steps that he needs to, 1868 01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:00,760 Speaker 1: and Jimmy G is patting all around, he's petting the 1869 01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,439 Speaker 1: ball and he's turning around. This is the second straight 1870 01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:05,479 Speaker 1: week where he kind of threw the ball backwards because 1871 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:07,640 Speaker 1: he didn't know where he was. And even on that 1872 01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:10,040 Speaker 1: touchdown drive. I don't want to knock the touchdown drive 1873 01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:14,080 Speaker 1: too much, but Deebo Samuel makes an unreal play. George 1874 01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:17,439 Speaker 1: Kittle makes a great run after catch, use check makes 1875 01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:20,360 Speaker 1: a great play to score touch down. You kind of 1876 01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:23,760 Speaker 1: gotta give it up to the teammates too, and I'm 1877 01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,719 Speaker 1: gonna fall. I don't know if it's Shanahan or Jimmy 1878 01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,640 Speaker 1: g When they snapped the ball, there's thirty you know, 1879 01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,120 Speaker 1: there's about forty two seconds left, and there's twelve seconds 1880 01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:36,760 Speaker 1: still left on that play clock. They have all three 1881 01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,720 Speaker 1: time outs. The Packers had left themselves in a vulnerable 1882 01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:43,160 Speaker 1: spot with no timeouts at all. Poor game management. And 1883 01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:46,800 Speaker 1: I tweeted the second that play happened. They snapped that 1884 01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:49,400 Speaker 1: ball with twelve seconds left in the play clock. Time 1885 01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:51,960 Speaker 1: was not a factor at that point, and it's given me. 1886 01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:55,120 Speaker 1: It was giving me flashbacks to a little Uh, Kyle 1887 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:58,120 Speaker 1: Shanahan Falcon super Bowl. How about that? You gotta bring 1888 01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,599 Speaker 1: that up. I mean that was that was the all time. 1889 01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:03,960 Speaker 1: You're snapping the ball earlier than you need to. But 1890 01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:07,000 Speaker 1: even in that moment, you're you're thinking, there's no need 1891 01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 1: to be snapping it with twelve extra So well, that's fair, 1892 01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,680 Speaker 1: that's fair, and in general, tough a tough night for 1893 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, who there's a lot of drama We talked 1894 01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:19,360 Speaker 1: about it in the preview show on Thursday now between 1895 01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:22,280 Speaker 1: the Packers and the forty Niners connected to the potential 1896 01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:26,000 Speaker 1: pursuit or the legitimate pursuit of Aaron Rodgers in the 1897 01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:28,679 Speaker 1: off season, and how that led now to a potential 1898 01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:33,920 Speaker 1: fracture of the relationship between best bros. Uh Kyle Shanahan 1899 01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:38,559 Speaker 1: and Matt Lafleur of Icy Bros. Gate got a little 1900 01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,320 Speaker 1: more pop and sizzle at midfield at the end of 1901 01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:44,400 Speaker 1: the game because these guys were these bros were icy 1902 01:36:44,439 --> 01:36:46,160 Speaker 1: and they just passed like two ships in the night. 1903 01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:49,040 Speaker 1: And then I was watching the postgame presser and of 1904 01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:52,840 Speaker 1: course the Niners beat reporter asks about it, and Shanahan 1905 01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 1: feign's ignorance on It's like, oh, it's a busy game, 1906 01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:56,439 Speaker 1: end of field goal. You know, I don't even really 1907 01:36:56,479 --> 01:36:58,400 Speaker 1: know what was happening, but we know we know it's 1908 01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:01,080 Speaker 1: Icy Bros Gate and I love it. That was some 1909 01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:03,799 Speaker 1: man Jennie Belichick stuff right there. I actually was surprised 1910 01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:06,000 Speaker 1: because earlier in the week we said are we on handshake? 1911 01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:09,040 Speaker 1: Watch here? And it ended up it ended up, it 1912 01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:11,800 Speaker 1: ended up delivery. I'm not happy the Packers won because 1913 01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:13,519 Speaker 1: I picked the forty Niners and I always root for 1914 01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:16,920 Speaker 1: my picks. But I do think this was the deserved result. 1915 01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,640 Speaker 1: This was a game If the forty Niners won that 1916 01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,479 Speaker 1: I felt like they stole. I just don't think that 1917 01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:26,919 Speaker 1: they were the better team. I thought that the Packers 1918 01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,200 Speaker 1: were able to run the ball the forty Niners were not. 1919 01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,000 Speaker 1: Rogers was clearly the better quarterback. I thought they had 1920 01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,840 Speaker 1: the better game plan. Football is just a game of 1921 01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:36,639 Speaker 1: a couple of plays here, you know, the Packers had 1922 01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:39,840 Speaker 1: all these past interferences to uh, the couple of calls 1923 01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:41,960 Speaker 1: went against the Packers, and I just felt like they 1924 01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:43,560 Speaker 1: looked like the better team. So even though it was 1925 01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:46,320 Speaker 1: a crazy ending, I think, uh, the deserved team got 1926 01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:48,599 Speaker 1: the result. It's funny that you used that word stole, 1927 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:53,479 Speaker 1: because when I was in the NFL Network film Theater 1928 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:57,120 Speaker 1: Humble with m j D tonight, I said the same 1929 01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,720 Speaker 1: thing when Crosby came on and hit the field goal 1930 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:02,719 Speaker 1: to make one's like the Niners. I know it feels unlikely, 1931 01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:04,960 Speaker 1: but they could steal this game, and I would have 1932 01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:06,760 Speaker 1: said it to you, Greg, But even though I sent 1933 01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:08,840 Speaker 1: you multiple texts to come join me in the theater. 1934 01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:11,160 Speaker 1: You didn't say it came, you knew it came, and 1935 01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:13,120 Speaker 1: you left me there. And when m j. D needed 1936 01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:15,040 Speaker 1: to go to the studio to join Chris Rose for 1937 01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:18,559 Speaker 1: the postgame show, it was the old Zeuser sitting alone 1938 01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:20,800 Speaker 1: in a movie theater watching the end of this game, 1939 01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:24,200 Speaker 1: and that hurt. Okay, this was this is the most 1940 01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:28,680 Speaker 1: damn story. I'm the come to the main character and 1941 01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:32,479 Speaker 1: in the movie uh plot line. Ever, you had your 1942 01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:34,400 Speaker 1: whole set up the whole second half because you wanted 1943 01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:37,160 Speaker 1: to watch Yankees and football, so we weren't in the 1944 01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:39,240 Speaker 1: same place. They want to know what happened with that 1945 01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:41,720 Speaker 1: Yankee red Stock game while we're here, Well assume the 1946 01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:46,000 Speaker 1: Yankees one now based look at your face. So I'm watching, 1947 01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:48,000 Speaker 1: trying to catch up, trying to do things at my desk. 1948 01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:50,439 Speaker 1: Then you send me a text with five minutes left 1949 01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:52,200 Speaker 1: after I'm all set up. I've been doing my notes 1950 01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:53,679 Speaker 1: and you didn't even say come over. You just said 1951 01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm the m in the film room. I beg you 1952 01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:58,000 Speaker 1: to come. I'm in the film room, f y I. 1953 01:38:58,200 --> 01:38:59,720 Speaker 1: At that point it was too late. You knew where 1954 01:38:59,720 --> 01:39:01,160 Speaker 1: I was as you could have come to where I was. 1955 01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,439 Speaker 1: Let's see, at eight oh five, I'm in the film room, 1956 01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:07,240 Speaker 1: f y. I mentioned that m j D is with us, 1957 01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:10,040 Speaker 1: m j D burying me about Robert Sala and then 1958 01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:12,840 Speaker 1: you wrote sounds fun slammer, and I wrote it was 1959 01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:15,160 Speaker 1: just the two of us.

But or maybe just Greg 1962 01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:22,080 Speaker 1: doesn't want to hang out with me? Maybe that's where 1963 01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:26,120 Speaker 1: it is. You in in a movie theater in at 1964 01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:30,759 Speaker 1: NFL Network watching the best Sunday Night game. I'm watching 1965 01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:32,760 Speaker 1: the game at my desk the whole second half. You 1966 01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:34,280 Speaker 1: should have come to me. You you were the one 1967 01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:36,679 Speaker 1: that needed the whole setup. I didn't know where where 1968 01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:42,320 Speaker 1: you were. Now I really miss Mark anyway, it took that. 1969 01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:45,600 Speaker 1: Despite that, it was a great game to sit with 1970 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,320 Speaker 1: you in the theater last Now I was doing in there. 1971 01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,320 Speaker 1: If you had been, if we had watched the whole 1972 01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:54,160 Speaker 1: second half there, I would have done it.
