16
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: a classes in this situation all of a sudden, a

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: shanty town. We're gonna have to press on through. We're professionals,

18
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: like it's it's even as you're talking to me, half

19

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: true broadcasting professionals, we would never allow the listener to

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: know this is even happening. Well that's that's the lesson

23
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: of where we stand as broadcasters who just bros. We

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: just hang out and talk some skin. I don't think

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,760

71
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: And then you guys just left the D marker. You're

72
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: acting like you've never even heard of this segment. Now

73
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: I've heard it. What happened to the tap and See bridge?

74
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: They replaced it just crumbled into They built a new

75
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: one next to it. No idea. What's stopping on these

76
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: coast Tapac Bridge for those that are not in the know,

77
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: connects Westchester County in Rockland County, U in New York.

78
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: So you brought it up to explain where all those

79
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: cold towns with you know, one point five million dollar houses.

80
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean if you add all the houses together, No,

81
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: if you added maybe one and one eighth of the next.

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Like it's like Bill Clinton's pool House Cools making a

83
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: big comeback right west Chester. Listen, Bill Clinton, Ian Rappaport,

84
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: all the fancy boys are in Westchester and Gregg's family.

85
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: If you lived in the New York area, that would

86
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: be where they are over in Rockland. It's a little

87
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: different where I grew up Rockland, hard Land, all that stuff,

88
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: it all started where I'm My parents did live in

89
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: so Merce, which is not in west Chester. He's like

90
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: I said, out Putnam, that's a very nice area. I

91
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: have nothing good Orbit. I think it'd be as smart

92
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: if we don't dig in too deeply on your hometown.

93
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: I would say, visit the town of friendly people, but

94
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: just realize that it is. It is a place where

95
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: people earn a living. There's no trust funds, pr true story,

96
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: look it up. That's when it's not allowed to do

97
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: some reason. That's all is there. I mean, there's no

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: strawberry trucks, some peul river. Greg. I mean, I I

99
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: welcome you to go to Springfield, Massachusetts and the towns

100
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: around it and enjoy the lovely seat. I've been to Springfield.

101
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: It is no picnic I will agree, But when have

102
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: you been to Springfield? Two summers ago, when I had

103
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: one of those East Coast trips in a rental car

104
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: and I thought, I'll go to Springfield and just see

105
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: what it's I was going from A to B. Well,

106
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't to see It's nice that I saw Gregor,

107
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: but it was star I quickly exited. It's been. It's

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: on a lot of lists. I know yours was on

109
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the list of one of the nicest place in Little

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Springfield always makes the list of the worst cities in America.

111
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: But shout out to Springfield, Western mass doesn't get enough representation.

112
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: We come out, come out on top, all right, So

113
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: let's get back on track here today is um show

114
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: me something. We're also going to preview the Thursday night

115
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: football game between the Rams and the Vikings. Uh. That's exciting. Uh.

116
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: And of course do the news. But I thought something

117
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: I haven't done in a while, and I think the

118
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: NFL might appreciate it. Maybe they won't, but I've been

119
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: un employee at the company since two thousand ten, um,

120
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: so I think there's a certain amount of gravitas that

121
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: comes with that type of extended employment. So I feel

122
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: like I can at least pitch some slogans and I

123
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: use you as as always, using you, gentlemen, as the soundboard.

124
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: Complete honesty, that's what I look for. Okay, fire away

125
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: this responsibility to some of your old ones. Right here

126
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 1: we go for first one the NFL? Are you kidding

127
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: me with all this action? It's simply awesome. I like

128
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: that about it's about a five point three. Yeah, it's

129
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: quite wordy, you know. I think editing is important when

130
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: it comes to slogan. You gotta think of where it's got,

131
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be on a poster or a commercial.

132
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of I think it says we

133
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: don't care about slogan. We're gonna do slogan our way.

134
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: It's little, a little too long, it's a little off

135
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: off the nose, but um, I enjoyed it. Okay, how

136
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: about this one the NFL. We don't have a problem.

137
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: You're the ones with the problem. Look in the mirror.

138
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: Is that solves all the living problems right now? I

139
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: don't need to hear a third who's gonna mess with that?

140
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: Because I think what we're trying to do here is

141
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: um at a certain point, Yes, you always want to

142
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: be on guard. You want to be there's a lot

143
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: of uh, you know, a lot of battle fronts that

144
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: we're dealing with as a company. But maybe just come

145
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: out aggressive. That's yeah, you know what that slogan does.

146
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: But walks in and owns the room like you're don Draper. Okay, good,

147
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: but you mentioned that you that you in in some

148
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: sense believe that you have a lot of graphics walking

149
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: around the building. That that statement was imbued with. I

150
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: think we've learned in this political climate, when someone comes

151
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: after you, you just come back harder after them. It

152
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the truth is. All right now this one,

153
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, we want to get the ratings. We

154
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: wanna you know, we just we want the league to

155
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: be completely locked in lockstep with our demographics and who

156
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: brings in the money the advertises. How about this one? Football?

157
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: It's a guy thing. I don't think it feels a

158
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: little um nineteen h just a bit antiquated. I don't

159
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: like that one. It's about as modern as that, uh

160
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: and twins and that you've been playing so much you're

161
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: shutting people out with that message. Yeah, I think you

162
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: want to be any more, you know, including children by

163
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: the way. Fair enough, fair enough, let me modify it. Okay,

164
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: you're ready, Erica. The NFL a safe space for people

165
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: of all colors, creeds, orientation, and tweels. I mean it's inclusive,

166
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: it's welcoming. Uh, it's got a positive vibe to it. Yes, check,

167
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: like it's not that inclusive for like the triplets out there.

168
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: It just seems like you're singling out special all right,

169
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: well I'll send I'll forward these al to Roger and

170
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 1: see what I mean. The second Yeah, I don't like

171
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: the last either. It feels a little like the pie

172
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: piper just leading everyone out of town and into you know,

173
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: major second one. The second one was the winner. I

174
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: like them all because they're all better than what we

175
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: currently have going with the whatever they're trying to sell

176
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: the game with. Right now, I believe that you're getting

177
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: closer what I mean. Football is not family when you're

178
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: pulled away from your family forty to fifty hours a

179
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: week to cover football. It's a fair point from you.

180
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Football is putting food on the table for your family. Well,

181
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: that's fine, that's fine. Quickly rounds beat the Jets to

182
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: your family on the road. I'm this thing into the lake.

183
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: That's what you get if you watch the Twitter show,

184
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: you get a strongly implied homicide and a little bit

185
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: of fun. Everybody. Everybody wins. I think a lot of

186
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: people correctly pointed out that you've been in good sport

187
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: about the Jets thing. I'm not going to mention it

188
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: ever again. You can you enjoy, you enjoy the moment.

189
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: Now it's over. If you want to move on to

190
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: it's week four and now we move forward for the mirth,

191
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: stay for the murder. Yeah, there's no way that, like,

192
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: there's no way that the Jets struggles and the Browns

193
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: ascending to the top of the mountain will come up

194
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: again on this podcast. That's yeah, Like I've just lean

195
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: them in for the Let's start with some serious news.

196
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: Vikings defense eve vent Ever since Griffin he's battling a

197
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: serious mental health issue for the past several weeks. It's

198
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: come to light now he's currently undergoing evaluation at a

199
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: local hospital that according to Tom Pella Sero, Griffin played

200
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: in Minnesota's first and this is one of the top

201
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: pass rushers um in the NFC. Certainly on the Vikings

202
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: the A thirteen sacks lusher um. He was able to

203
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: play in the Vikings first two games of the season,

204
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: half a sack in each contest, but quote and this

205
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: again from Pallisero, the situation became unmanageable this past week

206
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: when they ruled him out against the Bills. Mike Zimmer

207
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: told reporters following the loss to Buffalo that Griffin did

208
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: not play due to a personal matter, and there have

209
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: been a number of reports concerning Griffin's status following the game. Uh, Greg,

210
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: this is a troubling matter around the Vikings and you

211
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: just hope that whatever is going on with Everson Griffin

212
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: this gets under control. Well, I'm just following Mike Zimmer's

213
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: lead on this when he talked about Griffin, just saying

214
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: that he's really worried about Griffin the person and less

215
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: so you know, whether he can play football or not.

216
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: They it was reported suggested that, you know, he undergo

217
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: a mental health evaluation and last week that there's been

218
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: issues going on for a few weeks and that he

219
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: voluntarily checked himself into a hospital. The details, which some

220
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: of which have been disputed about what incidents and everything

221
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: that proceeded. That to me seems really secondary because this

222
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: is a guy who is like a captain of the team,

223
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: who Zimmer, who's kind of a hardass sometimes says, is

224
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: one of his absolute favorite players, one of the most

225
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: important players. I think when you think about the Minnesota

226
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: Vikings over the last seven eight years, certainly throughout the

227
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer era, and that this is a Syrian is

228
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: enough problem to put his life just on stopped completely.

229
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: They thought enough of him and have thought enough of

230
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: him to give him a six year, seventy five million

231
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: dollar contract last offseason with thirty four million guaranteed that

232
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: someone shows his third contract with which that's someone that

233
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: you're building the team around, and they thought the world

234
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: of the person. And it's a reminder that we talk

235
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: about these guys and we watched their tape and we

236
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: judge them harshly or we or we credit them for

237
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: how they performed each week, you know, on game pass.

238
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: But there's this whole other, massive world going on with

239
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: each of these players and what they're dealing with personally,

240
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: and yeah, you just hope the Vikings can figure this out.

241
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: Moving on, the New England Patriots are dealing with some

242
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: issues injury issues. They placed running back Rex Burkhead and

243
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: linebacker Juwan Bentley uninjured reserve Birkehead suffered a neck injury

244
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: against the lines on Sunday Night. Bentley it's not clear

245
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: um as of right now what the ailment was that

246
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: he suffered, but he also UH sent to I r

247
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: Um West. This is an issue for the Patriots who

248
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: have been banged up this year and especially in their

249
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: in their backfield. They just lose another guy that was

250
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be a key part of their team. It's

251
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: amazing when you looked at this roster in April in

252
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: May and you saw a really deep backfield, a really

253
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: deep wide receiver corps, wondering how they're possibly going to

254
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: squeeze all these names onto the roster. Then you lose

255
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill to an a c L injury, you lose

256
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: Rex burke Head to I R, you cut Mike gillis Lely,

257
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: and you're left with James White, who's a receiver, not

258
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: a runner. They don't like to use him as a

259
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: as a runner at all because he's not that good

260
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: at it except to win the Super Bowl. And Sony Michelle,

261
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: who has shown nothing so far. And I was gonna

262
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: use Sony Michelle for my show me something guy. But

263
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about him now. I mean, Greg has talked

264
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: about the fact that this is a guy who came

265
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: into the league when the issues and then spent the

266
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: off season not in pressing anybody in New England, not

267
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: picking up the offense either. During the o t a

268
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: minicamp portion of the season, which was on a lot

269
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: of reporters radars that he was coming along slowly, and

270
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: then he's been hurt. And I think you just have

271
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: to watch the games so far, and you know it's

272
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: only been a couple of them to just see he's

273
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: not reacting quickly. He's he has that quickness and he

274
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: has that skill set. You saw it in college. But

275
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: whatever is going on in his head trying to read

276
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: the defenses or understand what the team is asking him

277
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: to do play call wise, it's slowing him down. He's

278
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: not playing fast. So it's a it's a big problem

279
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: because they need a running game more than ever right now.

280
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: He's now the flag bearer for this draft class, which

281
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: has lost first rounder Isaiah Win, who was looking great too.

282
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: It's too bad. Second rounder Duke Dawson is on i R.

283
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: Fifth rounder Juwan Bentley, who had been starting at middle

284
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: linebacker and looked really good. Is on I R now

285
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: as of Wednesday, and your sixth rounder Christian Sam also

286
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: on I. That's incredibly bad luck. You see this team

287
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: trading for someone they love to They love to pull

288
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: these trades. I mean there's a couple back fields with

289
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: an extra running backs the position that you can get cheaply,

290
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: and so I think that's a great uh point to

291
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: make Mark and I could see them doing that. They have,

292
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think they'd like to evaluate Michelle probably

293
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: even more for a few more weeks. We have a

294
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: while to the trading deadline, but it also hurts their

295
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: special teams. Burkhead and Joan Bentley helped there, and that's

296
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be an asset for their team. They have

297
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: a lot of issues moving on the tip of Bay Buccaneers.

298
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: In an interesting situation, former number one overall picked Jamis Winston,

299
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: who's been leading them a quarterback for the past three years,

300
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: is off his suspension available to play in Week four.

301
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: But Ryan Fitzpatrick has started the season with three straight

302
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: four hundred yard games and two wins for the Bucks.

303
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: Uh So it seems like this would be Fitzpatrick's job

304
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: to keep. Uh, Dirk Cutter says he knows what the

305
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: Bucks are gonna do against the Bears, he's just not

306
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: saying it yet. Here's what Cutter had to say. So,

307
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of interest in the in

308
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback thing. And uh I did talk to both

309
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: Jamis and Fits and it's great to see Jamis back

310
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: in the back in the building with you know he

311
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: was he was here early and working hard. Uh. You know,

312
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: welcome Jamis back. We're glad to have him and short

313
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: short week and uh he assured me that he was

314
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: ready to go, which I don't I don't doubt for

315
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: a minute that he's been that he's been working hard.

316
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: And uh, so you know, we know, we know what

317
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. Both guys know what we're gonna do.

318
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: I hope everybody can appreciate that. You know, it doesn't

319
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: do us any good to to tell our opponents what

320
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. So you know that'll that'll work itself

321
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: out here as the week goes on. But you know,

322
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: we do have a plan and both guys are aware

323
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: of it. Mark us, it's magic in week four, right, Well,

324
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: I know that Greg has an accountable hot take out

325
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: there that this is going to all um unfurl into

326
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: total darkness. Yet another reason to watch the Twitter Show,

327
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: please do. You can only see hot takes become accountable

328
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: on the Tuesday, And in this case, you'd have to

329
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: watch last week's Twitter Show and then watch this one

330
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: to find out what we did to follow up on that.

331
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: Lots of stuff, But um, I don't know how if

332
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: you're Dirk Cutter and you're playing too an interesting fan base,

333
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: it's it's just there very much to me feel like

334
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: a regional team. If there is a regional NFL team

335
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: that they are feeling themselves right now. You've finally given

336
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: this Bucks fan base something fun to watch. But it

337
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: extends to the entire league. And if you pull that

338
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: away from the NFL right now and say we're gonna

339
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: pull fitz Magic out of the hemisphere to put Jamis

340
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: Winston chance that they are, That's the thing, Even even

341
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: the way that he talked about it, Jamis is going

342
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: to accept whatever role I give him and and do

343
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: a great job in that role. You obviously wouldn't say

344
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: that if you're starting him. Everyone knows Ryan Fitzpatrick is

345
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: starting this week. The only question I have is you

346
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: have a bye week next week, and if Fitzpatrick really struggles,

347
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: Let's say he throws a couple of picks against the Bears,

348
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: just easily the best defense that they've played. They've played

349
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: some pretty bad defenses. Will Cutter consider it during this

350
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: bye week. Some I think it might be early for

351
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: him to do it, uh right away, but it wouldn't.

352
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: It wouldn't shock me if Fitzpatrick struggled in this game

353
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: that they did. I think if Fitzpatrick did not have

354
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: the second half he had on Monday Night Football where

355
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: in the end you did see that same offense pop

356
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: through that, then you then you have questions. But how

357
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: do you pull the plug on on Fitzpatrick? He's leading

358
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: the league in yards per tempt at eleven and still

359
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: completing his passes number one PFF springs, number two in

360
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: passer rating, number one in big plays. You can't take

361
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: out a guy like that. Let's do some injury talk.

362
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: Start with the Buccaneers, since we're here ready. Chris Kanti,

363
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: who was on the hammer end of one of the

364
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: all time stiff arms on Monday Night Football from Vance McDonald. Well,

365
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: it turns out that was h the last game of

366
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: his season. It looks like because the Buccaneer safety has

367
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: been placed an injured reserve with a knee injury. Uh.

368
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: That hurts the Bucks secondary, which was already thin to

369
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: start with. Another secondary news the Los Angeles Rams, who

370
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: again we're gonna talk about later in today's show. But

371
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: a keep to Leave is going to undergo surgery. Uh.

372
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: He suffered a high ankle sprain. Surgery and a high

373
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: ankle sprain is Yeah, that happens. It happens after the

374
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Okay, keep to Leave suffered a high ankle

375
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: spring and Sundays went over the Chargers. Uh. Marcus Peters

376
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: also hurt in that game. He uh is believed to

377
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: have suffered a calf strain during the same game. He

378
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: could be out two to four weeks according to rap Sheet. Uh,

379
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: that is great. That's gonna really test the Rams secondary

380
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: and son a bum. It will, especially because they don't

381
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: have great edge rushers. So now you have a couple

382
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: of weaknesses and a defense let's look good overall. But

383
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: they do. Also, the Rams are so loaded. They have

384
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: better cornerback depth than just about any team in the league.

385
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: I think they like what Sam Shields is Uh showed them.

386
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: Uh who am I forgetting Nicol Robie Coleman, Well, he's

387
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: at nickel back. I'm I'm forgetting Hills played very well

388
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: for them in spots. In spots. In fact, he was

389
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: playing better than Tremaine Johnson late last season. So they

390
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: do have better depth at cornerback than most teams do.

391
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: But this is a time for the Vikings to light

392
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: them up. I mean, they have the best wide receiver

393
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: group in the league and this that's a weakness for

394
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: the Rams. This week's top ten position ranks. My article, Uh,

395
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: Sam Shields is on it for afterthought acquisition. He had

396
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: an interception in week two, broke up a touchdown last week,

397
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna be maybe their number one cornerback.

398
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: He was an afterthought. You know, it was always to

399
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: leave in Peters and oh yeah, Sam Shields is out

400
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: of retirement and playing again, right, and he had a

401
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: great offseason. He kind of he was forgot. He wasn't

402
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: in the league for two years. It's pretty rare for

403
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: that to happen. Finally, in the News five quarterbacks. As

404
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: we all know, we're drafted in the first round of

405
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: the two thousand eighteen NFL Draft in Week four, four

406
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: of the five will be starting because Baker Mayfield will

407
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: get the start um against the Browns playing this week

408
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: Raiders and Josh Rosen What took so long? He gets

409
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: to start for the Arizona Cardinals this week? So, uh

410
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: who the Cardinals got somebody who's gonna play in the

411
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: forty niners? Okay? Well, no has got the Chargers? Well

412
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: they're the Chargers are playing playing the Chargers and of

413
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks this week. Uh so the Cardinals Chargers together,

414
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: Rosen playing, Mayfield playing, Darnell playing, Josh Allen playing, and

415
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: over in Baltimore. It's waiting time for Lamar Jackson because

416
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco has gotten off to a pretty solid start

417
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: this year. Um yeah, so the that's what's happening in

418
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: the news. Okay, gentle, Okay, who's excited? Mark just flashed

419
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: multiple text pages to me, which means it's time for

420
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: Assessler segment. Mark, take it away, free time. I put

421
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: these things on the rundown. I know they're going to

422
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,719
Speaker 1: be forgotten, so I have to flash the pages at

423
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: Dan or it's gonna get completely lost it I listen.

424
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: I I had nothing planned except in the middle of

425
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: the night, I got a text from someone who often

426
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: does not reach out to me, Ian Rappaport. He does

427
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: not reach out to me one on one very often, Like,

428
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: how would you describe your relationship with Ian? I think

429
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: it's professional. I enjoy it. I think that there's a

430
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: lot of respect, at least from my angle going towards him.

431
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if it extends the

432
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: other way around, but so here's I'll read it to

433
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: you and you can assess it as you will. Hey, man,

434
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: I know we don't text often, but just wanted to

435
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: check in and see how your season is going so far. Yeah,

436
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: I know, I was. It's a text text, so long

437
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: text London looked fun. You guys really took the NFL

438
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: for a ride on that one, ha ha. Anyway, I've

439
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: been real busy as you know. Well he did last night, Greg,

440
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: are you gonna comment on every line of this production? Anyway.

441
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: I've been real busy, as you know, always answering the

442
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: phone and talking with agents and coaches and players. Mark

443
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: one thing I can tell you, Colin, everyone has an

444
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: angle in my business. Success boils down to keeping them

445
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: all happy. I share a little information with personne person

446
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: a shares a little information with me. Trust is important too,

447
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: Like I was just talking to Pete Carroll, who told

448
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: me he planned to retire at the end of the season.

449
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: He feels comfortable telling me that and informing my reporting

450
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: Mark because I know he knows I won't pass his

451
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: important information along. Outside of work, I've been chipping away

452
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: at that fantasy slash science fiction novel I was telling

453
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: you about working title, Cities of dandra Were. It's set

454
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: deep in the future in the seventh Star system beyond Andromeda.

455
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: This band of castaways from our planet have been traveling

456
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: for two hundred years. They keep having children to ensure

457
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: that someone is alive when a suitable home is found.

458
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: Problem is, the men and women lose their ability to

459
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: reproduce so so far away from Earth, no more babies.

460
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: They don't know why, so everyone dies away, leaving just

461
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: one last little boy named Enderley Orally for short. As

462
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: their ship fears towards this planet dandra Were. I can't

463
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: figure out what happens next, though. One last thing. Let

464
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: me know if you have any podcasting tips, and also,

465
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: would it be cool if we further over extended Erica

466
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: and use her to produce my podcast too, Just wondering

467
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: as always look towards the skies with a smile. Rap

468
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: sheet En is like, I'm not even joking, I say,

469
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: is the last guy that would that I would think

470
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: would ever write a science fiction book. Having got to

471
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: know him a little bit over the years, this is

472
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: a shocking revelation. Did t talk about it's Super Bowl?

473
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: And he doesn't want to talk to a lot of

474
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: people about them. The only person I know who composes

475
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: texts of that length is Mark Ston. No, not anymore

476
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: the least like it all. I know you're saying, you what,

477
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: you'd be surprised that it was a science fiction right.

478
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: The most surprising part of it to me was that

479
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: he showed consideration for Erica's workload, like he cared about

480
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: another human to that level, so that it shows growth

481
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: from him. Well, that was nice, And it is cute

482
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: that he has a podcast though, you know, I think

483
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: it's cute that he has a burgeoning midnight relationship with

484
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: Mark sess Right, Well, one's real. Okay, uh got a

485

Speaker 1: side podcast here? We need uh West? When is West's

503
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,960

504
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: putting together children's items, that is actually very helpful. Three

505
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: degree arkswing means you can loosen or tighten bolts with

506
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,080

Speaker 1: show you something? Uh? Greg, you're going to get us

525
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: going this time. I am, and it's gonna be with

526
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: some people involved in the Thursday night game. But I

527
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: just can't wait to talk about it to that segment

528
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: because I need to see something. But I'm just saying, yeah,

529
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: that's let's let's show me something. Kirk Cousins and John d.

530
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: Filippo a little bit on my radar here. Uh, there's

531
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: only one performance. And Kirk Cousins, who's looked looked really

532
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: good in the first two weeks overall, in fact, made

533
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: a number of like incredible passes in the first two weeks,

534
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: was overwhelmed. And this seems to happen to Kirk Cousins

535
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: about two or three times a year, where he just

536
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: I think he has when he has a stink bomb.

537
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: It's a little more messy than other top quarterbacks, and

538
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: maybe that's just what separate he's a top ten by

539
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: the way, it's happening right now. They're out there. If

540
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: you if you watch that Bills game, it did Uh

541
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: he means the actual sort of prank device. Yes, it

542
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: should be. He was he missing throws, and he was

543
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: missing throws by quite a bit, like by ten fifteen yards.

544
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: He definitely stay on football, do not talk about childhood.

545
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: Tis his childhood think o Bomb's definitely still exists. If

546
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: you've been to some fourth of July parades. You'll see. Wait,

547
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: so you're saying that he showed you something in week one,

548
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: in week two, but because he didn't show you anything

549
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: in week three, now you need him to show you

550
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: something again. Yes, because it's a big game for them,

551
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: and he's he's a guy there obviously paying a lot

552
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: of money too, and it was just such a bad

553
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: performance and that he was so overwhelmed. He held the

554
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: ball too long on certainly one of those fumbles. And

555
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: the bigger point I'm trying to make here is something

556
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: that Tony Romo pointed out. I'm not smart enough to know,

557
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: but he kept pointing out in the second off of

558
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: that game, He's like, they gotta stop calling the same place.

559
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: D Philippo was just calling the same place they're they're

560
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: running the same place out and starting out that they

561
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: were doing in the first half. And he was also

562
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: referring to a few of the times early on in

563
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: the season. Uh, even though that there were some great

564
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: plays made, he was a little worried just about how

565
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: that offense was coming together. You're going to Los Angeles,

566
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: it's a big spot for your franchise. You're supposed to

567
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: be a super Bowl type of team. You're going up

568
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: against two corners that you're a secondary that's missing their

569
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: best two cornerback. You have the best two wide receiver

570
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: probably starting Tannemental League. I'm expecting him to do great,

571
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: But show me something. Kirk Cousins and John D. Philipps

572
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: first football problems. If they're one in three, which there's

573
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: a good chance that they'll be. If you know they're

574
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna be underdogs in both these games, this is where

575
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: I think Kirk Cousins kind of makes his money. You

576
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: make your mark early on. You don't let your team

577
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: go to one in three. Uh, this is why I

578
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: wanted to show me something. Everybody on the Packers that's

579
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: not Aaron Rodgers, show me something. This man is thirty

580
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: five years old. This man is playing his heart out

581
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: for you. Did you guys get a chance to watch

582
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: the poor guy trying to move on the field. I

583
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: loved in week three. He's a warrior. That's why I'm

584
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: wearing this hat today. There you go. West is wearing

585
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: a Packer's cap um and and what what he's not

586
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: getting is representative performances, uh from the guys on the

587
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: team that should be delivering more and and yes maybe

588
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: Randall cobbs In declined, but that was a woeful game.

589
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: Uh this past Sunday, Lance Kendricks with that terrible drop.

590
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham is yet to really put his stamp on

591
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: this team. But I also want to call out Mike

592
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: Patton and this Packers defense, which thus far we have

593
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: not seen. You know, everyone and moaned about Dom Capers

594
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: for years, and right now this defense is ranked and

595
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: scoring twenty three and rushing defense twenty one, and passing

596
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: tied for sacks nineteenth and turnovers. I mean, they this

597
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: remains an issue on this team. So I just think

598
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: what the Packers need is for everybody to kind of

599
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: raise their game a little bit and come up to

600
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: where you don't have to get up to Aaron Rodgers territory.

601
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: But you gotta understand that this guy is dragging his

602
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: legs around the field and still playing like one of

603
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the league. Give that guy a

604
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: little bit of help. You You called Aaron Rodgers a warrior,

605
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: and when I watched that game, I thought of Hemingway

606
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: and a Son absolute rises. He's like a He's like

607
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: a bullfighter who's had you know, fifteen twenty years of

608
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: experienced fighting bulls, and he's got this style and flare

609
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: that he plays with. And he's still out there on

610
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: one leg getting it done, throwing off throwing off no legs. Really,

611
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: he's throwing from mid air, um inventing plays in the

612
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: middle of it. And he's playing well enough. He's dragging

613
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: a team along with him, and they're letting him down.

614
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: And we are in this place with with I know.

615
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: I think West and Greg, the scientists, you both had

616
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: them as a Super Bowl pick, and I'm not ready

617
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: to back out and say the Packers are our team

618
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: in the decline and don't have a chance, but they

619
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: need to play better. They're always They're always hoisted up

620
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: as a super Bowl pick for obvious reasons, because when

621
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: Rogers is playing at the top of his game, that

622
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: can beat anyone any week. But the way that they

623
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: tanked last year and totally went to sleep when Rogers

624
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: got hurt, that got on my radar all season long,

625
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: and I realized they're not that roster. They have different

626
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: people in the building, But come on, I think they

627
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: look better. I think there's a lot to like about

628
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: the secondary. They should be two in one the Vikings

629
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: game was a little bit flukey, and Geronimo Allison is

630
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: really playing well. I think Randall Copp played well for

631
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: two weeks. He had a terrible game like and Aaron

632
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: Jones plays at a different speed than the other guys

633
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: in that offense. He doesn't help losing. No, no, no,

634
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: but they've got a good backup. Dean Lowry started all years.

635
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: They get the Bills this week. I'm really curious to

636
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: see how the Bills come out in that game, because

637
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying, who knows? This might be

638
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 1: a different Bills team than we saw. Show me something.

639
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: Steve Wilks and Mike McCoy. When I said the Vikings

640
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: had first world problems, I mean, the Vikings played awesome

641
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: in Week one, Week two and they just laid in egg.

642
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying this week, show me. The Cardinals spent all

643
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: offseason talking about their offensive line and David Johnson, and

644
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: everything starts up front with establishing the run. David Johnson's

645
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: averaging three point four yards per carry, and they have

646
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: managed to make him boring not fun to watch. Um

647
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: take a look at what Steve Wilkes's philosophy is and

648
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: what Mike McCoy is doing in Arizona, and compare it

649
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: to the offensive gurus. Number one in the league, Andy Reid,

650
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: number two, Sean McVeigh, number three, Ken wiz and Hunt

651
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: number four, Sean Payton, number five, Todd Monkin. Those are

652
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: the five best offenses in the league, according to Football

653
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: Outsiders Metrics, and not one of those coaches has worked

654
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: on establishing the run. In September, they don't worry about

655
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: establishing the run. They just assault your defense with touchdowns

656
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Well there's I was listening.

657
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: Warren Sharp had a stat basically of teams that run

658
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: the most on first down, and they're all the worst offense. Yes,

659
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: teams are averaging seven yards per attempt on first down.

660
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: Show me that you get two thousand and eight team Football.

661
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: Somebody tell Brian Schottenheimer that while we're at it, higher

662
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:07,959
Speaker 1: guys that you know Mark, this team gets banged around

663
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: on this podcast a lot, and I'm not doing that.

664
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: They're three and oh through the Miami. Here's the thing

665
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm not I honestly, I kind of I kind of

666
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: get a little bit coming from a battered fan base

667
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: where you're always a little bit defensive and when you

668
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: see something good and everyone else just keeps washing over

669
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: it and just says, no, the team is junk, there's nothing,

670
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: they're they're unchanged. But you have to show me something

671
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: right here, because you you are nothing in the a

672
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: f C. East until you go up against the Patriots

673
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: and you make them pay in Miami. In past years,

674
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: we've seen it is the one team in that division

675
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: post Rex Ryan's glory period with the Jets that does

676
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: occasionally stick it to the to the Patriots and confuses them.

677
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 1: The game last year was totally out of aberration. It's

678
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: happened plenty of times. This time around, you have a

679
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: Patriots team that's on the ropes. They're banged up, they're injured,

680
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: they're mortal. If you can't go in and make a

681
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: game out of this and that means a win, I

682
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about it. Oh we only lost

683
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: by ten points and Ryan Tannehill completed sixteen of twenty

684
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: five passes. Look how great we are. This is your chance.

685
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: You want to you want to talk, Dolphins fans, I

686
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 1: want you to talk. You better do it, though, after

687
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: beating this team. Not I don't want to hear about

688
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: some fourteen points you lost by and the refs did

689
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: this or that? Take care of business or go quiet.

690
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a sophie's choice for a

691
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: f C East fans. Do you root for the Patriots

692
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: to get back on track or Dolphins? You root for

693
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. That tells you change is happening in this

694
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: division because you don't know, and it is right. It's

695
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: absolutely the right time. You're pretty fired up over there,

696
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: well because I I do. I do think that like

697
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: the Dolphins fan base in general, I kind of get

698
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,959
Speaker 1: why they're annoyed with whoever they're annoyed. At the same time,

699
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: you can't sit there and defend your team if you

700
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: can't take care of business here, if you get a

701
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: bomb dropped on you, go quiet. Schedule has been relatively easy,

702
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: but it also hasn't been flukey necessarily the way that

703
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: they've won. Their ranked second in Football Outsiders DV or

704
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: d v o A right now because they've been efficient,

705
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: they haven't made mistakes, have hit big plays, they have

706
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: a really solid defense, and so far they've had good

707
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: special very good special teams. So it's it hasn't been exciting,

708
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's necessarily, but they've been the

709
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: better team in each of their games, and they've won

710
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: those three games. Uh. Greg, the Desert people, yeah, they've

711
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: given the Dolphins respect. They're they're making the Patriots way

712
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: too big of a favorite, and I'm yeah, this isn't

713
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: gambling advice. But no, no, no no. If I was

714
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: not that this is the right timing for the Dolphins

715
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: to go in there, I think it's awful timing for

716
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I'm sure the Bengals felt great in the

717
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: Cincinnati we well, you don't want to. The Bucks felt

718
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: great when the Patriots defense was laughing. My thought is, though,

719
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: that just because that happened before, it's too easy to

720
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: just say it'll happen again. I think there are as

721
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: a Patriots for I've never I've never been worried, and

722
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: I think there are differences. I think they're gonna get better,

723
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: and I do think they're gonna win this game, the Patriots,

724
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: But I also think there are differences this year that

725
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: are real and are significance. I never thought that, No,

726
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: it's not, I never. I never was worried. I wasn't though,

727
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: because I thought I had a broad view of their

728
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: team and defense. You thought that was just fine and

729
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: this year is much worse. I thought that they were. Yes,

730
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: I on this podcast, I said, that's a huge concern,

731
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: but I was not worried that they were going to

732
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: struggle to win games because I knew that the offense

733
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: was going to be good and this year is different.

734
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: Troub do we we were a little short on time?

735
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: Do you want to do a speed a speedy one?

736
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: Show me something. Philadelphia Eagles offense very lucky to be

737
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: two in one nineteenth in the league, and football outsiders

738
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: I expected when Carson Wentz gets back, you get a

739
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: little more explosive. This is the least explosive offense in

740
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: the league. No big plays, and people all put it

741
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 1: on Nick Foles, and that's that's fair to some degree.

742
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: But a lot of the things that helped make Nick

743
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: Foles nick Foles in the playoffs are missing this year.

744
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: And you saw that last week where the running games

745
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: not quite as good. The playmakers, as West mentioned, are

746
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: certainly not as good, and the Eagles often just boring

747
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: hasn't been a good offer. I think they missed Frank

748
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: little Bit, show me something, Dak Prescott, Uh, the Cowboys Listen,

749
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: they did a bad job. We all know that in

750
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: terms of the weapons around him. But at the end

751
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: of the day, uh, if he is a guy that's

752
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: actually someone you build around and you give a huge

753
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: contract to when that when that rookie deal is up.

754
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: You look at them right now, thirtieth in total offense

755
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: thirty one and scoring thirty one and passing thirty first

756
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: and third down, red zone tied for seventeenth, and big

757
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: place twenty three yards per play. This offense has gone

758
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: down in each of the three years since he's been

759
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: the starter. I know the offensive lines banged up, but

760
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: you also have a great, great running back in Ezekiel

761
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: elliott Um. I think you just an actual quarterback, a

762
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback can make more with less, and he hasn't

763
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: done He has not done that yet. West Titans offensive

764
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: coordinator Matt la Flour has shown me something the past

765
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: two weeks. He's coached his butt off. I was worried

766
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: that he might not quite be the Sean McVeigh Kyle

767
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: Shanahan guy. He's from those schools, but he's really being

768
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: let down by the by the skill position talent on

769
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: this team. Marcus Mariotta played in a game in which

770
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't make all the throws physically because of a

771
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: nerd problem in his arm. And tash a Sharps dropping passes,

772
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: John who smiths dropping passes. Corey Davis isn't making plays.

773
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: These guys were drafted to be playmakers and it's not happening.

774
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: They need to They need to really step up for

775
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,479
Speaker 1: their quarterback and play caller who are doing their jobs.

776
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: Mark food service workers operating inside this building on Sunday,

777
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: we have a nice meal for lunch. Appreciate that was.

778
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: It was nutritious, uh, wide variety of items. Then as

779
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: we're still there for eight or nine more hours, incomes dinner.

780
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: And what do they do in our crowded, jam packed

781
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: little break room the eight or nine tins of leftover

782
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: food that starts to smell awful. They just take the

783
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: dinner trays and the new fresh dinner trays and just

784
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: pile them on top of the old lunch trays. So

785
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: when people come in for dinner, you have this massive stack.

786
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, the dinner was a totally unidentifiable

787
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: I believe potentially a Chinese feast of some sort. It

788
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: was what weird pieces of meat mixed with something else.

789
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: It looked like it was made in someone's kids. I

790
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna And the thing is, you came in,

791
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: you piled these new trays on top of the Older're

792
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: about to tip over people walking in who are hungry

793
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: walking right out because it was completely off the reservation.

794
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: In terms of a presentation for NFL workers, let's get

795
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: it together, show me something this Sunday. Get get this

796
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: thing fixed. Bad job at the free Food's not free.

797
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: It's not free. You could bring in your what. It's

798
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 1: not free because I could be I could be eating

799
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: food anywhere at my house for free. I'm there working,

800
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: so we are we are engaged in the task. But

801
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: we are here working today. But we pay for air lunch.

802
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: So the Sunday is different in that they do provide.

803
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: I am not in the practice right now of letting

804
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: anyone off the hook by calling it free food. We

805
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: can call it free food when they get the thing

806
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: done correctly. Next week, Let's try and see how it

807
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: works on Sunday night. Let's start with the engineer getting

808
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:03,719

827
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: a little talk about Thursday n football. You've actually hit

828
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: on both teams a little bit here a the Vikings

829
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: and rams um so Greg, I'll throw it to you.

830
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: What is something you're looking for in this game? I

831
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: wanna see Aaron Donald and Dominican Sue up close and personal.

832
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: We're going there and just watching them go against this

833
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: Vikings offensive line. What what do you make in faces? About?

834
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: Erica had a fun bit plan that you just walked on.

835
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell? You should probably tell the rest

836
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: of the show about I was sitting right in front

837
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: of you, and you looked at me and said, Okay,

838
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: no way, But no, she was right there and she

839
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: was talking to the whole group of me and the conversation.

840
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 1: You were right here, you were. You haven't moved camp.

841
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: I also have no idea what's happening, but I'm enjoying.

842
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Greg, I honestly don't even you're talking anything

843
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: else in the game on the game itself. Ready? What

844
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: are you ready? Will anyone? Anyone? This is the defense

845
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: we talked about without Everson Griffin, not the same one

846
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: that we would have said before the season. This is

847
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: the defense that can go slow down the Rams. And

848
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: you just got body rocked by the Buffalo Bills, which

849
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: is a game from outer space. So you are here

850
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: trying to save your season to some degree. I know

851
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: it's early for Minnesota, but if you lose this, then

852
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: you go play the Eagles and you're suddenly one three

853
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: and one. I don't know where you come back from

854
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: on that that situation. So be the first team to

855
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,959
Speaker 1: show us how to slow slow down Sean mcbih's offense

856
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: hasn't happened this year. And a good good point by

857
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: Greg about um the quarterbacks for Los Angeles missing and

858
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: how much pressure that puts on the pass rush because

859
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins has been pressured more than anyone in the

860
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: league this year. So that's been an issue for the Vikings.

861
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: We thought offensive line is gonna be an issue, and

862
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: it has. We'll see if the cornerbacks kind of mess

863
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: up that plan for the Rams. This system quarterback Jared Goff, nonsense,

864
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: it's nothing new. It goes back to Paul Brown and

865
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: Otto Graham and the fifties. It happened with Joe Montana

866
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: and Steve Young and with Bill Walsh in the eighties

867
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 1: and early nineties. But I'm watching Jared Goff last week,

868
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: two minute drill, first half. He throws a sideline rope

869
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: to Robert Woods. That is just outstanding. He has another

870
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: play where he has textbook pocket movement hits Cooper Cup

871
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: on the run down the sideline, and I'm thinking, there's

872
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: no way in hell two thousand eighteen Andrew Luck is

873
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: making these plays Jared Goff. Maybe that says something about

874
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck too, but it also says that Jared Goff

875
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: isn't just a system quartermanw he even the week before

876
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: he's making plays under pressure now, which I think was

877
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: He's not a guy who's gonna make a ton of

878
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: plays off script, but he's making plays with pressure around

879
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: him in the pocket, and he moves very well in

880
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: the pocket, and that su has one of the highest

881
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: release points in the That's something you didn't see initially,

882
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: and that what they're doing on offense is right now historic.

883
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: I think we're lucky to be going to this game.

884
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: They've had five punts three games. That hasn't happened over

885
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 1: a three game period since nineteen fifty. That's insane. Johnny

886
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: Hecker being wasted. Like the right Johnny Hecker can just

887
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 1: take a nap team during the game they have I think,

888
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: what do they have? One? How many three? Johnny? They've

889
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: They've had a ridiculously low amount of three and outs

890
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: and punts, which it all goes together. It's just like,

891
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: I know that the opponents the first two weeks weren't

892
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: weren't that tough, but it's it's ridiculous. They better get

893
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: in the end zone because the kicker they signed to replace,

894
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: Craigs Airline, is the same kicker they signed last year

895
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: to replace. He's he's shakier than the guy the Vikings cut.

896
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: There's some shaky kickers in the game right now. Chris Boswell,

897
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you. The quarterback situation. It's crazy because

898
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: Boswell was one of the best kickers in the league

899
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: the last few years. That's how quick it can turn

900
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: on you. Let's pick this game, Mark, I actually think

901
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: Minnesota is gonna pull off a little bit of an

902
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: upset here and win about twenty let's twenty six. Wait,

903
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: where wasn't your accountable hot take on the Twitter show

904
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: just yesterday that the Vikings are going to go on?

905
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: I feel like it's there's there's some there's some different

906
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: audiences there, and I can spread my predictions around. Where

907
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: can not go wrong? Is that the very opposite of

908
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: being accountable, That's the quickest turnaround on account. I will

909
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: be accountable for that prediction, but I'll also be accountable

910
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: for this prediction where I predicted West I can't lose.

911
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: That's how you do the same feeling as marked that

912
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings are really going to show up. But I

913
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: also have way too much confidence in Sean McVeigh. So

914
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Rams. Give us a score thirty two.

915
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm super high on the Rams. I think they're gonna

916
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: keep winning uh and I think they're gonna keep scoring

917
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: regardless of their opponent. I think the Vikings will put

918
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: up a fight. I think they'll score some points. I

919
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see points in this game. But I

920
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: think ultimately let's go thirty eight to the Rams beat

921
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: the Bike. I see it, like SI learned of the

922
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: two of you, that the Vikings keep it close. This

923
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: is a great Week four game, especially for Thursday night,

924
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: because I think Minnesota is absolutely gonna show up. I

925
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: do think they'll slow down the Rams more than any

926
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: other team has been able to. But I think the

927
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: Rams are just the best team in football. So why

928
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: pick against him? At home? And by the way, sneaky

929
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: little home field advantage now lately the crowd has definitely

930
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: been better this year. You can tell that they've been

931
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 1: around in l A now and it's it's it's given

932
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: them a little bit of bump I think in their

933
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: home games. And I would take a bullet for the

934
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: l A baby. I have an idea instead of just

935
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: like talking about it tomorrow night, why don't we go,

936
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: let's go. This was the bit we're gonna We're gonna

937
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: go through it now. No, can't go. No, but I

938
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: really want to. I think I don't think so, it's

939
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: not it's just not gonna happen. It would be tough

940
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: to pull that off with his show. And it's in

941
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,880

Speaker 1: going to happen now, Okay, guys, sorry die Hard. I

943
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,960
