15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo bill stops by off a wild wild game last night.

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. That's the best Week one

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Remember Week one of college football labor

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: a weekend. We're like, that's the best college football weekend

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. That is the best week one. Not done?

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: You get the controversial enigmatic Bears against Minnesota mystery at quarterback.

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: What a weekend starting Thursday where the Cowboys took the

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Eagles to the very end. But last night's a classic.

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: Unbelievable game.

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 4: Josh Allen obviously the MVP for a reason, best player

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 4: in the league.

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, when the Ravens win a wild game, my take

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: is usually, oh, Lamar Jackson must have played well. When

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: the Bills win a wild game, might take his Oh, oh,

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, they put the cape on him. Lamar Jackson's

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: part of a great roster, a super Bowl winning coach.

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: I never feel like the organization lets him down, and

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: he has sputtered in big playoff spots. Josh Allen's passer

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: rating is better in the playoffs than the regular season,

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: and he was the MVP. He's always at his best

35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: when the best is required. He doesn't need to prove

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: anything to anybody. His coach has often let him down.

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: He had more passing yards in the fourth quarter last

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: night than half the league had this weekend, sixteen unentered

39
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: points against a better roster in Baltimore, Montana, Brady and

40
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes have more hardware and maybe OHA's will. I have

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: never seen, including Patrick Mahomes, a quarterback with this much velocity,

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: this much power. His again, his playoff passer rating higher

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: than his regular season. He is a gamer and not

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the streaming kind. The other thing is I still this

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: morning don't like the way the Bills are overly reliant

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: on him. The Ravens were getting I mean, Dereck Henry

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: was running away from smaller secondary players for Buffalo. Buffalo's

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: got real issues on the back end. Remember Buffalo, Buffalo

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: had to come back under four minutes fifteen down. Like

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore has a better roster they have in my opinion,

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: a better coach they have in my opinion. And this

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: is not a knock on Lamar, probably Steve Bushatti, many

53
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: in the league believe best organization, best owner. Ninety five

54
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: percent of that game last night, until the very end,

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: felt like if Baltimore's just got too much horsepower, they

56
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: got too many good players. The Bills have a and

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: I would be worried about this. They have a Lebron

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Calves feel to them that he's got to score forty

59
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: two and have a triple double to beat the good teams.

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: I mean, even at the end of the first half,

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: he gets the ball thirty one seconds, two big throws,

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: no timeouts, and sets of a field goal. How many

63
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: people on the planet ever could do that It is

64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: not a knock on Lamar Jackson, but the Ravens have

65
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: multiple routes to win big games. Dereck Henry last night

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: get he is running passed and over much smaller players

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: than safeties and corners. The Bills have one route to

68
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: win huge games. Josh Allen has to do that, and

69
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: I think last night was unquestionably his greatest performance. He's

70
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: got about twelve like this. I thought it was the

71
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: best one. That score was forty twenty five and under

72
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: four minutes left. I don't care that it was at home.

73
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore is a stacked roster. There are three rosters in

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: this league. I tests look better Eagles, Ravens, and I

75
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: think Packers. And to pull that off late, I mean,

76
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: you've got Baltimore's got Kyle Hamilton. He's a Pro Bowl

77
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: safety covering all that ground in the back end. You

78
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: stack these rosters up. Baltimore is up there with Philly.

79
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: I feel like Buffalo is. Basically they just said, Josh,

80
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: take it over. End of the first half, end of

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: the game, take it over, and here he is after.

82
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 5: It took everybody there. I'm just proud of our team

83
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 5: for staying in it. No one on the sideline blinked.

84
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 5: I mean, down fifteen points whatever we were with five

85
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 5: six minutes left, staying with it, fans leaving, you know,

86
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 5: the stadium. You know you gotta play this game for

87
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 5: sixty minutes. And that's that's a really good outfit that

88
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 5: we just played.

89
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm watching that game last night, and I honestly watching

90
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and Dereck Henry in that offense, and then

91
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the other side. I'm like seventy five

92
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: percent in the teams, and I'm watching Mahomes and Justin

93
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: Herbert Friday and thinking the same thing. Yes, seventy five

94
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: percent of these teams in this league have got to

95
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: be looking at their quarterback situation and just thinking Buffalo Baltimore.

96
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: They're playing a different sport. I mean, Labar, there's never

97
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: been a player that plays it like Lamar. It is

98
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: video game. And then there's Josh Allen under four minutes,

99
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: down fifteen against a great roster, and you know, Dereck

100
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: Henry's fumble probably is is that lynchpin that gets you

101
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: the w but remarkable. Now I want to shift to

102
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: another game. I've been very critical, not really critical. I

103
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: just don't buy all the height. With brock Purty, I

104
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: think he's a B plus quarterback. I feel that with

105
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, I feel that with Jack, and I think

106
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: you have to be very careful about paying a B

107
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: plus quarterback a plus money. And brock Purtty got a

108
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: good contract. It wasn't outrageous for him. It was a

109
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: very good contract. But I got to tell you yesterday,

110
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: Yes he had two picks. Yes he got a huge

111
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: break that Sam Darnold fumble bumped into his own player.

112
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: That's the most impressed I've ever been with brock Purty.

113
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: That game, Seattle's loud, George Kittle misses most of the game.

114
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: You're down several wide receivers. Your offensive line is mediocre.

115
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings is her Trent Williams is her right guard

116
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: is hurt. You've heard of the Blue Man group, the

117
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Niners of the Blue Tent group. They can't keep anybody healthy.

118
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: Special teams, Jake Moody, close your eyes, cross your fingers.

119
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: That let the Niners down and pretty on the road

120
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: against Let's be honest here. That defense for Seattle is fast.

121
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: That is a well coached, well constructed, well drafted very

122
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: good Seahawks defense. It is sometimes you gotta trust your eyes.

123
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: They are flying around the field and he goes six

124
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: for six on the final drive, loudest stadium in the league.

125
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: They were nine to one before yesterday and those openers.

126
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: He has a great poise, made huge throws. And you

127
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: know why I'm impressed because he had two picks. I mean,

128
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: only scored seventeen points. Why would I be so impressed

129
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: Because the difference between the haves and have nots in

130
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: this league is when you don't have your star receiver,

131
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: when you're down your star tight end, when you're going

132
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: to be Hall of Fame, left tackle goes to the tenth,

133
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: when you're right guard is out that and you're on

134
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: the road. That's that if every quarterback look good with

135
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: excellent protection. I've said quarterback is like parenting. Everybody is

136
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: a great parent. When your kids are eating their vegetables

137
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: and getting a's it's really easy. That's babysitting. You know

138
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: what parenting is Your kid just got kicked out of school,

139
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: your daughter got a speeding ticket, she's imploding. That's parenting.

140
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: That yesterday in Seattle, last drive, that is what quarterback is. Okay,

141
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: That is what it is. Defensive coach, Seahawks are flying around,

142
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: Your offensive line is mid. You're missing one of your linemen.

143
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: Trent Williams already been in the tent. George Kittle's gone,

144
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings banged up. Seattle. Listen, Seattle's gonna win nine

145
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: ten eleven games, whether they make the playoffs or not.

146
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: That's a good football team. So it is it demanded.

147
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: He'd be great. And I don't care that his passer

148
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: rating was ninety two, and I don't care that he

149
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: threw two picks. That's worth the money. I'm telling you,

150
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: there's about eight nine quarterbacks in the league you could

151
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: win a football game with, and he was one of them.

152
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean I want to hear Old j

153
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: Matt going nutty on this. I may turn by next weekend.

154
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: That is quarterback playing the league. That's parenting. The house

155
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: is melting down, they won't eat their vegetables. They're arguing

156
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: with mom. That's parenting. Here is Kyle Shanahan on brock

157
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: Perty's performance.

158
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 6: Ah, it's huge. I mean there were some big plays

159
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 6: at the end. I mean we were back and forth

160
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: and just kept getting tighter and tighter and to make

161
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 6: that big play to Ricky to get the explosive to

162
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 6: get us down there. And that play he made on

163
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 6: fourth down was huge. I think the biggest one in

164
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 6: the drive was him going across the whole board on

165
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 6: a progression. I mean, just a tough deal to do

166
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 6: for a quarterback. And I don't know if you hit

167
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 6: I think it was Jake tongjis a low ball on

168
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 6: the other side that kept the drive going and played.

169
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 7: Really well there.

170
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: The other thing, did you notice, and this is something

171
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: about the NFL that's different than college. In college, you

172
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: let go of the ball when the receiver's open. He

173
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: made a throw. He made a couple of them in

174
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: this game. Pertty did the touchdown in the end zone

175
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: to the tight end because Kittle was banged up. When

176
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: he let go of that ball, there were three blue shirts,

177
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: two blue shit. There was nobody open. That is what

178
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: is called it anticipatory thrower. That's what Aaron Rodgers was

179
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: in his prime. Aaron Rodgers one of the first quarterbacks

180
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: doing the back shoulder thing. Nobody's open. Great quarterback play,

181
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: and this is what you have to do in the NFL.

182
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: And it's why a lot of college quarterbacks can't pivot

183
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: to the pros. You gotta let go of the ball

184
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: and it looks like it can't be caught. Go back

185
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: and look. Go to your YouTube page. Go back and

186
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: look at that that touchdown to the tight end. He's

187
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: not open. That's practice, that's in, that's trust, that's anticipating.

188
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: That is excellent quarterback play. Could have been his third

189
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: pick instead. Everybody loves Brock party this morning. So j

190
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Mac a little pivot, slight pivot on Purdy.

191
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: I gotta say I love that open Colin. I was

192
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 4: shocked that you said nice things about the two picks

193
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: were bad.

194
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: Let's admit they were.

195
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: They were bad throws, right.

196
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: That is a let me tell you something. That's a

197
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: tough environment.

198
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: Yes, And by the way, you didn't mention his kicker

199
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 4: was like terrified and Shanahan's losing his mind.

200
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: He made a thirty two yard field goal in the

201
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: second half and it was noteworthy. It's like, hey, we

202
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: should note it. He hit it because he had had

203
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: a kick blocked. He had missed like a twenty eight

204
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: or a show. It was a short one.

205
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 7: Yeah.

206
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: They got to the red zone five times.

207
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 4: And by the way, how about the forty nine ers

208
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 4: defense with Robert Sala bottling up Seattle. They think they

209
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: had two hundred and thirty yards of offense colin their

210
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: defense all of.

211
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: A sudden, frisky coordinators do not get the love they deserve.

212
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: The Niners have worse personnel defensively than last year. Yeah,

213
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: and that was their best defensive performance in a long time.

214
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Go ask the Lions if coordinators matter. I know it's

215
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: Monday and everybody overreacts on Monday. I'm going to overreact

216
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: on the Packers. That's fine, I think that's your what

217
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: was in reason? I'm going to overreact on the Packers.

218
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to make a definitive statement. I am already

219
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: calling a division after week one. We'll talk about that next.

220
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: If you're a homeowner, it took years of sweat and

221
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: planning and saving and discipline to get in that door.

222
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: Now once it's yours, more hard work to make the

223
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: house a home. Now, all that effort has built something

224
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: hugely valuable. It's called equity. That's the part of the

225
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: home you actually own. The longer you own it, the

226
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: more equity you've built. And now the home you've worked

227
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: so hard for it's ready to work for you. Do

228
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: you want to take a loan out, a home equity

229

Speaker 1: loan to pay for college, to pay to upgrade your kitchen?

249
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: Here we go. It's our chill. The first hour flew by.

250
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: If you missed it, I said nice stuff about brock Purty,

251
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: So you know we were taking swings here in the

252
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: herd on a Monday. Matt Hasselbeck is around the corner.

253
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins Today, tonight's Bears Vikings. We're going to get

254
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: into that last hour. I like Minnesota tonight without further ado.

255
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: We do it every week at this time. Colin right,

256
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: Colin wrong.

257
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 7: Where Colin was right, well.

258
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs regression is clear. I had said

259
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: last week I'd probably take the Chargers. The O line issues,

260
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: the run game, where is it? The wide receiver corps

261
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: was thin going into the game. They couldn't get out

262
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: of their own way. Literally, they're the only winless team

263
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: in their division. I thought Mahomes was amazing, but when

264
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: you watch the Ravens or the Packers or the Eagles roster,

265
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: it's thin. And I said, you can't keep winning every

266
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: one score game, even if you have Andy Reid and

267
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert against Steve Spagnola did whatever

268
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: he wanted to with kind of a mad mid receiving corp.

269
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 7: Where Colin was raw.

270
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Listen, he's a statue at this point and got sacked

271
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: four times. But I thought Aaron Rodgers was really strong

272
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: in the opener. To his credit, he has said I

273
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: am here for leadership and distribution and elevating others. So

274
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: he knows what he is. Seven of nine in the

275
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter with a couple of touchdowns, and he took shots.

276
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: He took a shot Joe Burrow and him took shots

277
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: this weekend. Seven of nine, two touchdowns. And again I

278
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: don't love Pittsburgh's offensive line. They don't They don't run

279
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: the ball consistently. So I thought Aaron on the road

280
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: against Aaron Glenn's defense, I thought it was impressive where

281
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: Colin was right. I said it out for the Hall

282
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: of Fame game, Detroit does not look right. You can't

283
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: replace two elite coordinators within house guys and think I'll

284
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: just be the same. It's not the same two point

285
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: one yards per carry. They're rebuilding the interior line. Ben

286
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: Johnson was the sharpest coordinator in the game for a

287
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: couple of years. You can't just go, well, we got

288
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: a guy in house that can replace him. You can't

289
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: do that. Their passing game coordinator left to the Jets

290
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields looked pretty good, so I think you

291
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: can take some things even in the preseason. The Lions

292
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: will not be as well coached a football team where

293
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Colin was wronged. The Dallas Cowboys lost, but I thought

294
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer had them buttoned up. I thought they were

295
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: good situationally and the first half clock management. They had

296
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: very few penalties. I thought they played even keel football

297
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: with good emotion, not wild emotion. Dack terrific. They found

298
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: run lanes. They were a drop pass by Ceedee Lamb

299
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: from winning this football game in Philadelphia. The clock management

300
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: was strong, they didn't penalties. I had my issues with

301
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenneimer. There's no way you could come out of

302
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: that game, whether you love the Cowboys or hate him,

303
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: and not be impressed.

304
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 7: I was wrong where Colin was right.

305
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Well, college football is bumpy for Bill Belichick. He won't

306
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: let the Patriots scout on scouts on the Carolina campus,

307
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: which doesn't make sense. You're only hurting the players. He

308
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 1: just keeps alienating himself from the NFL. Bill Bill's old school.

309
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: He's very provincial. It's about loyalty to Bill, and you

310
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: know if you're not loyal to me, You're a bad guy,

311
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: you're against us. That must be exhausting to have that personality.

312
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: But I said, coming into college, he's not a great

313
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: drafter of college kids. Why is he going to be

314
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: a great recruiter of high school kids? He watches even

315
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: less of that. So I was surprised they lost the

316
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: way they did. But I'm not surprised he's having struggles.

317
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: Where Colin was wrong, what a dune by New England.

318
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: Geno Smith was spinning it, Mike Frables offense and Josh McDaniels.

319
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: It was cautious, it was slow, it was deliberate. Now

320
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: I will say, with all the free agents and all

321
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: the rookies playing, they've got a whole new cast on

322
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: this roster. So they got so many new pieces and

323
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: starters don't play a lot in the preseason. I do

324
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: think this will be about as bad as they play.

325
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: But Drake may cautious, not a lot of juice. I

326
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: was surprised, how bad, how poor, how slow that looked.

327
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 7: Where Colin was right.

328
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: Well, Miami Dolphins were cooked. I said two years ago,

329
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's clever, he can be funny. I think he's

330
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: a great offensive mind. But as the leader of men now,

331
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: the Colts are better than people think. Colts have a

332
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: good roster, but you can't have that. You can't have

333
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones going seven for seven on drives. That defense

334
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: did not come to play. After the game, there were

335
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: some concerning quotes from defensive players. Head coach is a CEO,

336
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: it's not just a play caller. I don't doubt Mike

337
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: McDaniel is a great play caller and will get a

338
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: great oc job. But I also don't love the roster.

339
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: When you watch those two teams play, Colts had way

340
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: more good players and it wasn't particularly.

341
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 7: Close where Colin was right.

342
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: I said, keep your eye on Tampa rookie receiver in

343
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: Mecca Abuka two touchdowns, great route runner, he has a

344
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: chance to be the rookie of the year. Every scout,

345
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: every executive in the league I talked to if I said,

346
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: who will surprise people in the first round. It was

347
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: the Ohio State receiver. He got overshadowed because Ohio State

348
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: is wide receiver university and they have so many amazing stars.

349
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: This kid, you are looking at a guy if he

350
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: stays healthy. I mean He's a pro route, running, hands, discipline,

351
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: personality in Mecca Buca, I mean, Baker Mayfield has himself

352
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: today as a rookie game one a star. Where Colin

353
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: was right, where Colin was wrong.

354
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd Weekdays

00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: eighteen years is now joining us live.

358
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 9: Yeah you could add my favorite part of this show

359
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 9: is where Colin was right, where Colin was wrong.

360
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 3: I love it.

361
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 9: I love I love when you double down when you

362
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 9: were right, and I kind of like when you admit

363
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 9: when you were wrong.

364
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: It's fun. I enjoy it.

365
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, and I was wrong plenty. I'm gonna

366
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: get Let's just get to last night. And I said before,

367
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: when Baltimore wins, if I didn't see the game, I

368
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: would suspect Lamar played great. But when Buffalo wins a

369
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: wild game, I would suspect Josh Allen had to be otherworldly,

370
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: because I think the Ravens have a better roster and

371
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: more routes to win. I think they're so dependent on

372
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. But as somebody who got a team to

373
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. When you watch him doing what he does,

374
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: what how do you explain Josh Allen if I'd never

375
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: seen him play.

376
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: Awesome? I mean that game was incredible, Listen. I was

377
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 3: watching it last night.

378
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 9: I'm like, I met, Wow, this is an impressive win

379
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 9: by Baltimore.

380
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

381
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 9: But then in the back of my head, I'm like,

382
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 9: this means that Josh Allen can just go cut it loose,

383
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 9: put a cape on, and just play Superman. And that's

384
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 9: really what he did. I mean, like it was just

385
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 9: it was absolutely incredible. And you know it's so boring

386
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 9: to say, like, oh, turnovers, third down, fourth down conversion,

387
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 9: but like that.

388
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: Was the story of the game.

389
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we see another epic

390
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 9: matchup against these two teams.

391
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 3: And this is what I would say.

392
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 9: Like, you know, a lot of people were talking about

393
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 9: the fact that, well, this might come down to a

394
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 9: home field advantage thing in the playoffs at some point.

395
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 9: I think there's some guys that are just built different.

396
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 9: Josh Allen's built different, Lamar Jackson's built different. I could

397
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 9: I could honestly see someone like Lamar Jackson being like.

398
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 3: Nah, No, I'd rather go beat them at their place.

399
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: I'd rather go back to Buffalo and do it.

400
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 9: And He's just cut that mindset. I didn't have that mindset.

401
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 9: I would to play playoff games at home. But Lamar

402
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 9: I could just He's there's something special about both these

403
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 9: two guys.

404
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 3: And that's why I was such a great game to watch.

405
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: It was I said this, and this was not a

406
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: knock on Aaron, But I didn't think the story of

407
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: the game was Aaron. I thought the story of the

408
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: game was the Jets have been looking for their next

409
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: quarterback star for years and I know it's week one.

410
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: That was easily the best I've seen justin fields play

411
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: and Matt, this is something you've taught me and others,

412
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: is that it wasn't first read stuff. You'd watch his head.

413
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: He would look left, he would look middle, he would

414
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: look right. Let it rip, it be a dart like

415
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: that was quarterback play. Also, you're going up against Tomlin TJ.

416
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: Watt like Pittsburgh plays defense. It was kind of jaw dropping,

417
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: Like I was like, oh, is he going to be

418
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: Baker and Gino and Sam, Like I don't know if

419
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: you're the Jets you wake up this morning. You got

420
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: to feel pretty good about that loss, don't you.

421
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: I mean you got to be encouraged.

422
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 9: I mean until the night game. That was the game

423
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 9: of the week. That was an incredible game, you know,

424
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 9: I said, I sort of felt like it was like

425
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 9: a high school reunion.

426
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 3: You're trying to impress your old flame kind of a game.

427
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 9: Like the both quarterbacks were like, man, I got to

428
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 9: be my best. I got to show out my best

429
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 9: for you know, I'm the one that got away like that.

430
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: That's what looked like for both quarterbacks.

431
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 9: And I think people rallied around those both quarterbacks, and

432
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 9: I just thought the identity of what both teams are

433
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 9: trying to be this year showed up. I thought justin

434
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 9: Fields was I think he was good, not great, but

435
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 9: like I think he can be great.

436
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: I really do.

437
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 9: And and you know, obviously he's a great runner, but

438
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 9: it's not about that. It's about it's about being a

439
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 9: passer first and then being a threat as a runner.

440
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 9: On the flip side, Aaron Rodgers once was great with

441
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 9: his feet and moving around the pocket.

442
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: That's no longer his game unless you design it that way.

443
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 9: So drop back pass and then I go scramble, no

444
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 9: poy no okay, but play action passing a designed roll

445
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,239
Speaker 9: out move the pocket. Aaron Rodgers is as good as

446
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 9: there's ever been with his eyes, his arm, and his head.

447
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 9: I thought that that was really good for Pittsburgh.

448
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: I know it's a Monday, it's week one, but I

449
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: watched Detroit's offense and people, coordinators matter, they matter. I

450
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: mean you I remember Philadelphia lost two great coordinators, hired

451
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: two new guys, and like by week ten, you're like

452
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: they're bad. I watched the Lions. I'm sorry, but Ben

453
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: Johnson was missed, was he not?

454
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 7: Yeah?

455
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 3: I mean he's a great coach.

456
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 9: I think maybe one of the best, maybe the best

457
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 9: play caller.

458
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: In the game for the last couple of years.

459
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 9: Just so creative, so confident, and so that's not a

460
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 9: knock on the new guys, but like it's going to

461
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 9: take time to gel and there's a void there. You know,

462
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 9: you lose maybe your best offensive coach, you know, to

463
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 9: the Bears, and then you maybe lose one of your

464
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 9: other unsung hero offensive coaches to the Jets.

465
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: That's not nothing, and that happens.

466
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 9: You see great coaches and great assistant coaches that happens

467
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 9: in any organization. I think too, like someone leaves and

468
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 9: you realize, oh, like, oh wow, that person was a

469
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 9: lot more valuable to who.

470
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: We were than than we realized.

471
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 9: But like you said, it's week one and they'll have

472
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 9: a time to gell. But I think the story of

473
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 9: that game was just how how many, how amazing they get.

474
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 9: The Green Bay Packers looked they came to play.

475
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting Micah only played about forty forty

476
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: five percent of the snaps And take me to your

477
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: experience in the NFL. There is something about adding a

478
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: great player to a team, and it just it felt

479
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: like the Packers' confidence, like their chest was out and

480
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: he played forty percent of the snaps. But I don't know,

481
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: it's almost like you go out drinking and you got

482
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: one of the high school wrestlers behind you just in

483
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: case you get a little softy. I thought the Packers

484
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: played it was so much confidence. Defensively.

485
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's like Kevin a great closer in baseball, Like

486
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 9: we hey, we got a closer.

487
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: You know, like if it's third and long, we got it.

488
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 9: You know, we're we're gonna have a game changing play.

489
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 9: We're gonna close the door. We're gonna We're gonna do it.

490
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 3: And I also think I told you on Friday.

491
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 9: The unknown for an offense when you're growing, when you're

492
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 9: going up again against a great pass rusher and you

493
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 9: don't know where he's going to line up, You don't

494
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 9: know what down he's going to play on. You don't

495
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 9: know like our whole you know, before you drop any

496
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 9: pass plays, you drop your projection schemes, and a lot

497
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 9: of times you'll say, Okay, we're gonna slide the line

498
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 9: to him.

499
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: Well what if he's not even on the field.

500
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 9: Now, what Like, we're really going to slide a bunch

501
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 9: of people to just some random dude we don't even

502
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 9: know who he is, So like it's it's I actually,

503
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 9: as a quarterback, I would rather know where he's going

504
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 9: to be and if he's going to be on the

505
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 9: field every snap, that would be easier.

506
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: So I sort of like, I don't know, I feel

507
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 3: the pain of Detroit.

508
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 9: I mean, shoot, they were planning for this game mich

509
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 9: Comparson's not even on the team, and then all of

510
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 9: a sudden he's on the team, and how much is

511
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 9: he even going to play?

512
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 3: It was that's not a great place to be as

513
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: an offense.

514
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: I said, I have been a little underwhelmed in my

515
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: career with Brock Purdy. I know he's talented, but I

516
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: think he's been a tad over hype because he's a

517
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: seventh round pick. I remember in college the knock on

518
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: him was he's small and his decision making. You know,

519
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: he lets it rip. And I thought yesterday Kittle, Trent Williams,

520
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Jennings out o lines okay on the road Seattle, I

521
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: was kind of blown away with him. I don't care

522
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: about the picks. I watched him yesterday carry a team

523
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: that's the most impressed I've ever been. I'm serious, I

524
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: was kind of I think that defense for Seattle is fast.

525
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: I thought party was great.

526
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, yeah, hey, I can't stop smiling. Finally I'm

527
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 3: showing you the light. With Rock Perdy Christian McCaffrey.

528
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 9: I mean, even it wasn't one hundred percent, there were

529
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 9: a lot of questions if he was even gonna play

530
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 9: Rock Perty's unfazed. I'm not sure if he's ever lost

531
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 9: in Seattle. I think it's really impressive what he has done.

532
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 9: He is otherworldly to me when it comes to just

533
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 9: like this cool calm collected when the chaos is around.

534
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 9: You know, in quarterbacks room, we had this saying pretty

535
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 9: much everywhere I was be comfortable, get comfortable being uncomfortable,

536
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 9: and like, that's what I see out of this guy.

537
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: Listen. Looks like a high school quarterback. I get it.

538
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 9: But he can make all the throws. He's way more

539
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 9: mobile than people think. His teammates and coaches in general

540
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 9: manager absolutely love him. They think he's worth every penny.

541
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 9: When I turn on the tape, I think he's really good.

542
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 9: I know people are looking for six five and a

543
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 9: half and all this other stuff and some big college,

544
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 9: but uh, I think he's a really really good player.

545
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so listen. I do think a lot of the

546
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: trouble in Miami is they is the front office. I

547
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: don't like their roster. I think they went to perimeter speed,

548
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: didn't pay attention to their offensive line. I think they're

549
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: they you know, they move a lot and they're fun,

550
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't what's the meat in the

551
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: sandwich for the Dolphins or maybe the Colts and Daniel

552
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: Jones are underrated. That was embarrassing though, for a week

553
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: one performance like that that you don't see that a lot.

554
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: I'll never say quit, but there wasn't a lot of juice.

555
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: Who do you credit? What do you make of the

556
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins getting completely blown out at Indy?

557
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, you know, I've heard you mentioned, and I

558
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 9: think it's a great point. You know, there's something to

559
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 9: be being a great play caller, but it's not doesn't

560
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 9: necessarily mean.

561
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: You're a great head coach.

562
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 9: You're a great culture setter, leader, all that kind of stuff.

563
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 9: And quite honestly, going back to last year, some of

564
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 9: the things that I've seen on the sidelines, some of

565
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 9: the things people say in the locker room, the Tyreek

566
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 9: kill thing, it's bad ball, Like, I don't think it's

567
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 9: a winning culture that way.

568
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 3: I don't.

569
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 6: Now.

570
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 9: On the flip side, I think the Colts were playing

571
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 9: for something bigger than themselves. Jim Rsey passing away. I've

572
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 9: played for the Colts for three years. That is a

573
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 9: very family oriented kind of an organization, one heartbeat kind

574
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 9: of thing. It's started way back in the day with

575
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 9: Tony Dungee and those guys. But even when I was

576
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 9: an opponent, I remember when Chuck Pagano was going through

577
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 9: cancer and as an opponent, I was looking over to

578
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 9: the sidelines and looking at that organization, and I was saying,

579
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 9: you know, there's something unique and special about what they

580
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 9: got going on there, top to bottom, and it made

581
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 9: me actually want to go sign with that organization.

582
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: I had respect for it.

583
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 9: I think you still see that Miami has been more

584
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 9: fragmented than that. You know, I'm not saying that's what

585
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 9: they always were, but it's a little bit more fragmented.

586
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 9: And I do think that that shows up on the field.

587
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 9: You either pull together or pull apart in times of adversity.

588
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 9: That to me looked like a team that did not

589
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 9: pull together.

590
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: Finally, if I suggested to you that the Raiders are

591
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: going to be vying for the playoffs, Jmack and I

592
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: have talked about this. Gino with time to throw in

593
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: a run game, is very effective in his career. His

594
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: play action numbers are excellent. Crosby. I like Jacoby Myers, Brockbauers,

595
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: Ashton Gent. I think Colton Miller and their old lines

596
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: better than average. I mean, they controlled that game. Gino

597
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: was a notch above Drake May. I don't know, it's

598
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: hard Chip Kelly, Pete Carroll. I don't overreact Matt. But

599
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: it was impressive, was it not.

600
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 9: It's hard not to overreact, but I mean it was

601
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 9: a ten to seven game at halftime they were losing

602
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 9: to the Patriots, and one fourth down conversion a big play.

603
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 5: You know.

604
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: I don't know that they look that great, but.

605
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 9: Sure, yeah, you play sixty minutes. I was impressed.

606
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: I'm impressed with Pete Carroll, the oldest head coach ever.

607
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. He hates when I say that,

608
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: so I say it more. But he's impressive. He's really good.

609
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 9: Talked about culture and identity and how we talk in

610
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 9: the building and what we're gonna be.

611
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: I love it.

612
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 9: Chip Kelly way underrated, Gino Smith, underrated, Max Crosby. Game

613
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 9: changer caused in interception with pressure. You know we mentioned

614
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 9: a closer before. That's why those pass rushers make that

615
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 9: much money. I don't know if they have enough firepower offensively,

616
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 9: what they might, you know, and knowing Pete Carroll like

617
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 9: they're gonna go get it. This is a game that

618
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 9: meant a lot to them, A lot of ties. Pete

619
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 9: Carroll going back to New England, Chip Kelly's from New Hampshire.

620
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 9: Tom Brady's kind of running football ops there, so we'll see.

621
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 9: I think it's a long season, but this was a

622
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 9: game that meant a lot to a lot of people

623
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 9: in the Raiders organization. So huge win, A huge win

624
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 9: on the road for Las Vegas.

625
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: Eight stuff. Matt Hasselbeck, what a fun weekend we had

626
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: Bears Vikings tonight. I don't know what I'm going to

627
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: get in that one matters.

628
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: You know exactly what you're gonna get tonight. You know exactly.

629
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 9: You can get a whole lot of Brian Flores and

630
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 9: it's gonna be impressive.

631
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: Yep. We talked about that earlier. To keep your eye

632
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: on Brian Flores and Caleb Williams and that chest match.

633
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: Good talking to Matt Azola's okay, see it all right?

634
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I like Minnesota tonight. They have

635
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: the better roster. I don't think home field in the

636
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: NFL means more than maybe a point. There were a

637
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of things I thought. Michael Pennis and cam Ward

638
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: looked good. Bo Nick struggled. I've got some thoughts on that.

639
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: I thought the Raiders. You know, I grew up watching

640
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders on the West Coast play those four o'clock

641
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: games with Stabler and Eugene Upshaw and I mean Fred

642
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: Bulletnikoff and Cliff Branch and those memories are so embedded

643
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: for me as a kid. The Raiders are remember when

644
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: the Warriors before they got Steph. I'd said this before.

645
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: It's a great brand. It's just been dormant or a

646
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: sleep for thirty years since Rick Berry. I mean, you

647
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: watched the Raiders yesterday. They got some dudes, They got

648
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: some dudes.

649
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: They were fine. The Patriots looked inferior.

650
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna ask you about one guy we

651
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 4: haven't talked about, and that's Russell Wilson because Colin there's

652
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: a lot of people talking about this New York Giants. See, hey,

653
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones sure looked awesome with the Colts.

654
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: They scored on every drive.

655
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson and a team that returned ten of eleven starters,

656
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 4: and they couldn't do anything against Washington, which doesn't even

657
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 4: have a great defense.

658
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: I'll ask yourself this next week at half Giants Trail fourteen. Nothing,

659
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna start loosing the locker room next week?

660
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 4: What about Thursday at practice? I'm wondering because Russ did

661
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 4: not look comfortable doing it. Malik Neighbors was kind of

662
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 4: erupting on the sideline. Listen, man, I know we like Dable,

663
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: he's a sharp, offensive mine. But Colin, it's starting to

664
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 4: look like if this keeps up, he ain't lasting the season.

665
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: Oh no way, I don't think so. In La, it's

666
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: the herd.

667
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 6: In
