1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where if we were a person,

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,200

Speaker 1: Sorry?

Speaker 3: I got a Connie thing on the back. You probably can't.

00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting a show and tell, so here it is.

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: got our TNF preview, as we do. But I'm most

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: excited about kind of sitting down on the couch for

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: a therapy session to try to try to help out

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: some people because that oh and one just it feels

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: rough after after week one.

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I'm very accustomed to being on the

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 4: other side of this, you know, receiving the advice, receiving

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 4: the therapy.

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 5: I endorse this for everybody.

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: I love it.

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 1: You better love it was your idea.

31
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: Yes, so thank you so much. I cannot wait for this.

32
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: I feel like I've already been talking so many people

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: just like into a better headspace after one week with

34
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: their teams.

35
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: So this felt just like a natural place to go.

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: And also I have therapy right after this.

37
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: This.

38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: This is a fell season where we're just we're morphing

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: two tasks into one super task just to save time.

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that.

41
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: I could if I could have one friend that could

42
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: be my therapist, I think it would be Connie. But

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: before how do we get there? Let's do some news.

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who got a big

45
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: road win in Atlanta. Nice start of the season, the

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: only team in the AFC North that got a w

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: after all that doom and gloom in the preseason, and

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Justin Fields I thought played pretty well in that game.

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin was asked about his quarterback situation on Tuesday,

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: and it sounds like it's going in a certain direction.

51
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 6: But as I sit here today, we're preparing is if

52
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 6: Justin is going to be our quarterback. I think that's

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 6: the appropriate way to do it. Speculation is a waste

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 6: of time. Russell's hurd, he's not available to us, and so,

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 6: as you guys know, as a general practice, man, I

56
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 6: focus my energy on those that are available in their readiness.

57
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: I love Mike Tomlin so much, he's the best. Speculation

58
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: as a waste of time, I know, Like that all

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: makes sense. It's like, oh, maybe he would just say

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: that for anyone, and I don't think so. I think

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: there's actually a shift in the tone. The reporters were

62
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: trying to get him to say that Russell Wilson, if

63
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: he was healthy, would he be the starter, and Mike

64
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: Tomlin would not entertain that at all. I think this

65
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: is Justin Fields's job as long as he keeps playing well.

66
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: You know what I do like about this, other than

67
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 4: him just shutting down the speculation and sort of the

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: news cycle that would surround any hedging about the Russell

69
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 4: Wilson situation, is that Justin Field won't be in limbo

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: like all the way up until ninety minutes before kickoff

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: on this He'll have a full game week to prepare.

72
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 4: You know he will be in that mode in the

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: starter's seat basically, and it's not like you know, everyone says, oh,

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: he prepares if we're the starter. There is a difference

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: in meeting structure, in how you organize your week and

76
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 4: how you study, in everything, because you will be in

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: that seat and you're not again doing this ninety minutes

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 4: before kick.

79
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: I just love Mike Tomlin, the whole aura about him.

80
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: He doesn't like hypotheticals, he doesn't like to speculate. Now

81
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: normally his protocol is typically for players to be available

82
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: to practice on Fridays if they're going to play on Sundays.

83
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: But the more veteran you are, the less it matters

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: that you're available on Friday. But he said, I treat

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: everybody fair. I don't treat everyone the same. I just

86
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: feel like he has these quotes all of the time.

87
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: I would love to just sit down. I would love

88
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: to have a beer with Mike Tomlin. That's kind of

89
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: my dream beer guest in my life.

90
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: But also I feel like if there was an NFL

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: coach you'd be most likely to get a beer with.

92
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: He's pretty close to the top of the list. I

93
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: think you can make this happen. Combine week you see him,

94
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm there, ye.

95
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: Mean, Combine, My wheels are hilling right now, and I'm

96
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: gonna have to manifest this.

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: I think that's very exciting to think about. But hey,

98
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 3: justin Field's like the fact.

99
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: That he didn't have any turnovers in that game, I

100
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: think was such a huge plus because with that defense

101
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: that they have, if they can just have someone at

102
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: the quarterback position that doesn't make mistakes or put them

103
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: in a bad situation, they're kind of an interesting team

104
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: now in that division.

105
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: Justin Field's played well in that game. I don't know

106
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: if the matchup, you know, was just that favorable against

107
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: the Falcons. We'll have to wait and find out. But

108
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: I went to watch that and there was so much

109
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: negativity about you know, they didn't score a touchdown. That's

110
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: not ideal, and I didn't expect a great performance. And

111
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: the first three plays were very justin Fields. He fumbled

112
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: the snap on the first one, that was an issue

113
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: in training camp. Maybe it's the center, maybe it's him.

114
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: Then a really bad pass that was open. Short passes,

115
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: you know, not always his thing. But then he runs

116
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: for a first down on the third play and as

117
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: the game went along, like there were a lot of

118
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: key runs, but there was a great thirty six yard

119
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: throw that was overturned by a penalty. There was another

120
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: nice bomb down the field to Pickens later in the game.

121
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: There was a nice like third and long. He made

122
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: a lot of winning plays. I went and like looked

123
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: at the PFF grades afterwards. He was a top ten

124
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: quarterback according to them last week, Like there was more

125
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: than enough. I think they were. I've been pleasantly surprised.

126
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: And he's not working with a full deck of like

127
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: great wide receivers, and I think Mike Tomas probably pretty

128
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: excited about what's going on.

129
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 2: But also consider this, They're going to Denver, like they're

130
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: playing the Broncos and Russell Wilson is just going to

131
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: be on the bench.

132
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, why did I not think about that? That?

133
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, in full pads.

134
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: There is a lot of like anti fields agenda on

135
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: the internet. Too. That was just like he must be terrible,

136
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: but no, he's fine. Like the weirdest fan in sports

137
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: right now is the Steelers fan who is like diehard

138
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. We got to go with Russell Wilson, Like

139
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: what allegiance. Do you have to him?

140
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 4: You know what, I think, I'm so excited to see

141
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 4: the little quarterback throw heat charts at the end of

142
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 4: this next game of Broncos Steelers, because bonis one of

143
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 4: them is going to be just everything is in the same,

144
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 4: and then the other one is justin Fields. Art Smith

145
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 4: is doing what justin Fields likes to do, less so

146
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: of what we thought he was going to do. He's

147
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 4: acquiescing and compromising a little bit, collaborating with the skill

148
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 4: set that his quarterback seems to prefer. Data tells us

149
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 4: this over time, and it kind of looked like, I mean,

150
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: he was slinging it wide a little bit.

151
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Oh so that all the throws were to the.

152
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 4: Out were talking about Art Smith and how everything was

153
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: going to be right in the middle of the field.

154
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 4: But it seems like our guy Art you know, name change,

155
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: facial hair change, he's going with Art.

156
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well we decided, we've decided, okay.

157
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look he's had more time with field ultimately

158
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: through training camp and now the preseason game.

159
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: It was enough positive plays. I think you said this

160
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: on on social media. Greg, there was enough positive plays

161
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 4: to make this regardless of the Wilson of it all

162
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 4: to make this an easier decision. Justin Field had enough

163
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: positive plays in that game.

164
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: Plus he tried to return I think quickly Russell Wilson

165
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: from the calf injury and maybe re injured it because

166
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: he was worried about losing that starting job. Always look

167
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: to the contract they only gave Russell Wilson like a

168
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: million dollars. Like he's getting paid about the same amount

169
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: of money as Tyler Huntley out there. Let's move on

170
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: to our next story. Mike Shanahan is the father of

171
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, uh huh. And they both like to play

172
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: games I believe with injuries and the media. And this

173
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: happened with running backs, and it certainly happened in Mike's

174
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 1: day and it happened in Kyle's day. On Monday Night football,

175
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: so many fantasy football owners were upset that Christian McCaffrey

176
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: was ruled in active and a little bit of a

177
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: controversy after the game when Jordan Mason, who stepped in,

178
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: told the media he found out, at least according to him,

179
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: that he was starting. On Friday, Kyle Shanahan was asked

180
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: about a report from ESPN that said already there's a

181
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: real chance McCaffrey could miss week two.

182
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 7: I'm saying that's amazing. That person must be God, because

183
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 7: out he wasn't playing today, and I have no idea

184
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 7: how he's going to feel tomorrow or the next day.

185
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 7: I thought he was playing this whole week until today,

186
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 7: So I don't know who knows that he's playing not

187
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 7: playing next week.

188
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: I want to believe that he's telling the truth, but

189
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: coaches just do just straight up live. So what do

190
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: you think is he?

191
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I just think it would be amazing if

192
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: you had an inside track to God, as like unnamed

193
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,479
Speaker 2: source would be, that would be pretty.

194
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: Hauchh Schefter and Rapidport are working on it. It's been

195
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: an angle that they've been like trying to make happen.

196
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't of course, there's a

197
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: real chance, by the way, that Christian McCaffrey isn't playing

198
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: week two. He didn't play week one, and he's been

199
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: trying to recover from this injury for weeks. It's called

200
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: Achilles tend the night is Kyle Shannon did speak on

201
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Tuesday and said if it was a playoff game, he

202
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: would have played on Monday night. But it is not

203
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: a playoff game. These games only matter so much for

204
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers.

205
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean they were so productive on the ground.

206
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: Even without you have space, you have like wiggle room,

207
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 4: You have leeway to let Christian McCaffrey rest a little bit.

208
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: As everyone knows, I have a very ominous respect for

209
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan, and especially the darkness that seems to seep

210
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: through his general being.

211
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: It tell me more about that.

212
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 4: Understand, including his knowledge of, you know, forces beyond our control,

213
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: such as I don't know if anyone will be a lot,

214
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 4: any of us will be alive on Sunday. That famous

215
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: quote Ohle years ago now speaks to me.

216
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: That's like, hey, that's a person that has experienced some

217
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: tragedy in his life.

218
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: Right now, he's calling out you know, he's calling out

219
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 4: God as a source. I mean this, this guy is

220
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: walking very very close to something paranormal right now.

221
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: What did he say, your ominous darkness?

222
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 4: That I have an ominous respect, ominous respect.

223
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: I love that.

224
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 5: It's the highest compliment I can pay a bit.

225
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: Let's dive into that on the couch a little bit later.

226
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: It much more positive, was Matt Eberflus when talking about

227
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and his debut, not that we didn't mention

228
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: it on the Sunday week yet, but it was kind

229
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: of a big deal that the number one overall pick

230
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: didn't get to one hundred yards passing on twenty nine attempts,

231
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: they did not score. I mean, that's just crazy. Matt

232
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: Iberflus though, saw a lot of good out of Caleb

233
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: in his first game.

234
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he would say that too, just you know,

235
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 8: his footwork a little bit off at times, but again

236
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 8: he threw a lot of good, good practices too. So

237
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 8: met with him this morning and that was really about it.

238
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 8: I thought his vision was good. Yeah, I thought he

239
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 8: was I thought he was good. I thought he saw

240
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 8: it well. I thought he you know, saw the coverage contours,

241
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 8: he saw zero, you know them adjusted on the fly,

242
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 8: you know, in terms of post snap, I thought he

243
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 8: did a nice job.

244
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: What do you think in terms of how he like?

245
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. Mattie Befos, of course, is going to

246
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: support his guy one thousand percent. I also am not

247
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: encouraged after hard Knock that that one on one meeting

248
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: he had with Caleb Williams was that insightful.

249
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I was kind of refreshed by his comments

250
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: about I mean, he very openly and clearly we were

251
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: talking about therapy. Man set a boundary in terms of

252
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: the leeway and the patients that he expects the world

253
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 4: in the outside world, especially to have with a rookie

254
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 4: quarterback who, yes, is one of the best prospects we've

255
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 4: we've ever seen come into the league, but is going

256
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: to have days like this where even a four man

257
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: rush is kind of get getting him off his spot

258
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 4: a little bit, struggling to connect a little bit, maybe

259
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 4: second guessing what he's seeing. I would like to see

260
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: him just kind of cut loose.

261
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 5: And play free.

262
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 4: I think that as himself and Chaine Waldron feel each

263
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 4: other out in live action a little bit more against

264
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 4: live defenses, not preseason regulated, looks going to start to

265
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: see them understand each other and how Caleb likes to

266
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: play and really accentuate that a little bit more, or

267
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 4: at least you hope that that's what will happen with

268
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator. But yeah, I actually was really refreshed

269
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 4: by what Mattiberflu said because he basically it wasn't a

270
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 4: message to the media It was a message to Caleb

271
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 4: and to the rest of the world, like we're giving

272
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: this guy patience because we believe in him, and he's

273
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: going to be learning in public and learning out loud

274
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 4: for the next year. And that's what a rookie season

275
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: for any quarterback is.

276
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Flus also talked about that third and five,

277
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: the stop route that he thought was excellent, and that

278
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: the rhythm and the timing was there on some of

279
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: the plays. But I don't think anyone expected Caleb to

280
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: come out and just absolutely light everything on fire, Like sure,

281
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: maybe you wanted something a little bit better than what

282
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: we saw, but there was some good with the bad,

283
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: and then it wasn't all Caleb's fault. Keenan Allen had

284
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: the huge drop on the touchdown catch. I mean there

285
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 2: were a few other passes that could have been also

286
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: considered drops potentially too.

287
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: So flus is just doing what Fluce needs to do.

288
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: Hey, that's us Fluspy and Fluse. I mean, you get

289
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: a win without any offensive touchdowns that that is incredible.

290
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: I think the interior offensive line is their number one concern,

291
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: maybe of the entire team. They have a former Ram Coleman,

292
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: Shelton at center who did not have a good day.

293
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: They almost openly are talking about, I think wanting to

294
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: bench a free agent pick up Nate Davis, but the

295
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: guy who would replace him isn't quite healthy enough to

296
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: do so that's Ryan Bates. But everyone who said this

297
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: is the best situation ever for a rookie quarterback to enter,

298
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you got you got some weapons. But

299
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: now with Doonza's hurt and he's weak to week, he's

300
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: almost certainly out this week, and you're getting a ton

301
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: of pressure up the middle, and you're a shorter quarterback

302
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: compared to most. That's that's a lot to deal with.

303
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: Then again, they won't play against Jeffrey Simmons and Devandre

304
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: Sweat every week who kind of dominated.

305
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the interior even had issues when they sent

306
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: extra They didn't need to send extra pressure all the time,

307
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: but they even sent another former Los Angeles Ernest Jones

308
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 4: on a blitz and bold Coleman Shelton backwards.

309
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 5: That was the clip that sort of went viral during

310
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 5: the game.

311
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: But to your point, like the interior pressure, no, they're

312
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: not going to face fronts like this every week, but

313
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: you can manufacture that as well. So shoring that up

314
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: is a huge concern to me. And then also again

315
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: like moving his pocket, getting him sort of working in

316
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: space a little bit more, but then also layering things.

317
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: You did hear a couple of times and that you

318
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: heard this in Seattle all the time last year. Oh

319
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: I think one of those receivers was running right in

320
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: front of the other receiver and they were basically running

321
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: the same route, just different lengths. And you want to

322
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: make sure that if you have a quarterback who is

323
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: like working on the move or out of structure, that

324
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 4: those layers are all over the field, not just sort

325
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: of stacked as if they're like nesting dolls.

326
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: So Coleman Shelton, Ernest Jones, that's x X.

327
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 5: I don't know where that even came from.

328
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: So I like a little nesting dolls reference in any show. Uh,

329
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, you still manace this, you know, fit in

330
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: some rams talking here you kill me.

331
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 4: You got a bad view with That's sorry, Ernest Jones, Yes, guy,

332
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

333
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about the dynamic kickoff. How

334
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: are we feeling? I just feel like we didn't this

335
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: was such a big story all off season, all pre season.

336
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: Can we revisit just where we're at with the dynamic kickoff.

337
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: About a third of the kicks were return which doesn't

338
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: sound like a lot. Actually it's not even about a third.

339
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: It was exactly a third. But last year it was

340
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: twenty two percent, So that's that's up like eleven percent.

341
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: The average return went to about the twenty nine So

342
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: but that doesn't include the kickoff touchdown, which so ultimately

343
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: you were probably better off on average just kicking it

344
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: into the end zone and starting at the thirty. Like,

345
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: is it doing enough for you? I mean, it's making

346
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: you feel something inside, Colleen.

347
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: The DJ Dallas dynamic touchdown is really the only thing

348
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: that made me feel some thing with the new rule.

349
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: There was another long return in that game, actually, I

350
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: believe by the bills yards my crazy Yes, so there

351
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: was a couple. Yeah, it was a little more. It's

352
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: like in the right direction. Improved field position though means

353
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: more scoring. So like, even if it is all these touchbacks,

354
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: the fact that the average starting field position is going

355
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: up about five yards, that's kind of a win just

356
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: on its own because the scoreboard will be higher. Yeah, Rien,

357
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: are you.

358
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: Impressed by it?

359
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 5: Not yet?

360
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: Just because and I agree and the scoring increasing. That's

361
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 4: obviously going to be a reaction to this, just by

362
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: nature of moving the ball up.

363
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 5: But the ball is moving up.

364
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 4: And the line of scrimmage is moving up based on

365
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: a function of the rule itself, not the average of

366
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 4: the plays that are being made from said rule. Both

367
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: these are the average starting field position for all all

368
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: drives after receiving a dynamic kickoff was the receiving team's

369
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 4: own twenty nine point four yard line.

370
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 5: So it's it's like, it's a that's what the rule is.

371
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 4: That's a function of I wouldn't be surprised if at

372
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 4: the end of the year, and Roger Goodell actually mentioned

373
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 4: this last week in his interview before the Eagles Packers game,

374
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: that they are open to changing this rule, to adjusting it. Yeah,

375
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 4: oh yeah, talking about it in terms of moving that

376
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 4: field position up to try to prohit, like prevent teams

377
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: from just kicking the touch back.

378
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 5: Okay, i'd i'd be into that.

379
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: Thirty five is aggressive, but it would be inter I

380
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: think it's a it's a small win so far, nothing

381
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: too crazy. The thing that annoys me is the coaches

382
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: like Sean McVay who were just afraid to compete. He's like,

383
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to. It's I don't want to deal

384
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: with the uncertainty, and so he's kicking with a touchbuck. Hey,

385
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: how about you try to just be great at everything

386
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: that is now involved in your football game instead of

387
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: just giving up.

388
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be trapped into talking about.

389
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: Okay, a couple of small just news items we had mentioned.

390
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Derek Brown was likely out for the season. He's the

391
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: great defensive tackle for the Panthers. That was confirmed as

392
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: he was sent the season ending I are on Tuesday.

393
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: And then Juju Brens, who is a cult starting cornerback

394
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: a thin position for them, also going to injured reserve.

395
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: And then finally I mentioned on Monday Night with Shook

396
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: that Deshaun Watson received another civil lawsuit. The NFL now

397
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: says it's reviewing the lawsuit that accuses Deshaun Watson of

398
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: sexual assault and battery in October of twenty twenty, back

399
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: when he was with the Texans. Quote, and this is

400
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: from the league spokesperson Brian McCarthy. We are reviewing the

401
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: complaint and we will look into the matter under the

402
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: Personal Conduct Policy. We are not looking at the commissioners

403
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: exempless as there's been no formal charges in the league's

404
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: review has just begun. The Browns say, quote, we will

405
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: respect the due process our legal system affords regarding the

406
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: recently filed civil suit and follow the NFL's guidelines on

407
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 1: this matter. So just between those two statements, it sounds

408
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: like for now the Browns and the NFL aren't doing anything,

409
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: but there is an investigation that the NFL will undergo.

410
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we are

411
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: going to be back and we're going to just talk

412
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: about things we just can't get out of our mind.

413
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: We need to. I don't know, I just feel a

414
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: little more comfortable with We are back on NFL daily,

415
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: and we are so lucky every week to have Colleen

416
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Will with us. I mean, what a big get for

417
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: the show. It was tough. It wasn't easy to get her.

418
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: So I'm so busy these days. If we've got if

419
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: we have like a loose plan of maybe what we're

420
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna do on Tuesday, and we get a text from

421
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: Colleen who has an executive producer credit now as part

422
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: of this show.

423
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 3: Oh that's great. Do I get a little bump too?

424
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: Now?

425
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: Just the credit that's how we pay you. And she

426
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: come and she says, I got a new idea. We're

427
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: going to flip the old idea. Let's go with the

428
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: new idea. We're going to replace it. Yeah, then we're

429
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: going to do it. And that I now bring.

430
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: Up disrespect to the other idea, which I think is

431
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 2: all good.

432
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 5: Oh it was Greg's idea.

433
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: No, it was it was that was the only problem.

434
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: I feel like we're on the couch now. We need

435
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: to work this out. But no, this is good. I

436
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: think after week one there's a lot of figures in

437
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: the NFL that that could use some therapy. We all

438
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: love therapy. Yeah, and uh, Colleen, I want you to start.

439
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: That's sort of a long winded way of getting you

440
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: to start so that I can feel what this segment

441
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: really is all about.

442
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: Okay, that's great.

443
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 2: Well, I just like to offer people emotional support. I

444
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: feel like that's that's what good friends do. And you know,

445
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: around these parts, especially this time of year, I find

446
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: myself offering maybe a little bit more emotional support.

447
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: Than I'm that I'm used to, So might as well

448
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: just keep it going.

449
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: And I'm going to send this one out to Jaguars fans, guys,

450
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: you know, it's not how you start, it's how you finish,

451
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: which is a shame because what a start to that game.

452
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: So well.

453
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Junior both had like really

454
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 2: bright moments.

455
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 3: The defense was really holding up in the first half.

456
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 2: The vibes they were good until things got a little uncomfortable.

457
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 3: But listen, I understand how quickly things can change.

458
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: I watched the Eagles start ten and one last year

459
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: and finish one and five. I also watched the Jags

460
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: finish one in five last year. We all got hurt.

461
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: We're all trying to love again. Dravesy Tin's goal line

462
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: fumble not ideal. In fact, Nightmare of Fuel being up

463
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven would have made things a lot

464
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: more comfortable. But being a football fan, it's not about comfort.

465
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: It's about pain and suffering and holding on to a

466
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: glie of hope. This roster is replete with talent. Ryan

467
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: Nielsen is a really good defensive coordinator. The defense sacked

468
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 2: to a three times, held the Dolphins under one hundred

469
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: rushing yards, limited Miami to twenty points an offense that

470
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: scored nearly thirty points per game last season. Just two

471
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: touchdowns the entire game, So everybody get it together. It's

472
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: just one game. Your season is not defined by Week one.

473
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 2: It's your home opener this week, and you play the

474
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: Browns who looked way more of a mess than you.

475
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: That should make them feel a lot better. And I

476
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: think that was excellent. Browns. They're a case. I don't

477
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: think we would even want to try to tackle in this.

478
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 5: Therapy rule number one, it can always get worse.

479
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: I love the comparison between the Eagles and the Jaguars

480
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: because I think the way their seasons ended last year,

481
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: their fans and those teams could have used a little counseling.

482
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: I gotta say that Eagles fan that and you tell me,

483
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: like that win in Week one to meet felt bigger

484
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: because of the way last season ended that you want

485
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: to feel like this is different. So I do kind

486
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: of get why it's triggering for Jaguars fans to have

487
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: a seventeenth to three lead. It was like last season

488
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: all over again in one game, and to start that

489
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: way is tough.

490
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was so rough.

491
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: And they better win this week because they're going on

492
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 2: the road for back to backs against the Bills on

493
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football and then the Texans. So if they

494
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: lose to the Browns who looked the way that they

495
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 2: did last week, and then they have to go to

496
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 2: Buffalo and then they have to go to Houston, I

497
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: hate that for that.

498
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: Okay, we're out of the office now because I feel

499
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: like this is putting some uncomfortable future expectations. Let's focus

500
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: on what's right in front of us.

501
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 3: You have to be present.

502
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: You kind of like this Jaguars team, don't you. Yeah?

503
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: I do? I do.

504
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I like the talent, I like the potential.

505
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: I've said a couple times this offseason. I'd like to

506
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 4: see with this coaching staff everyone take a step forward.

507
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 4: Closing a game such as this would be a nice

508
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 4: start to that. But saw some really nice things from

509
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence, some of the windows he was fitting the

510
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 4: ball into. I do understand, though, the trauma projection element

511
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 4: of this Colleene, I mean.

512
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 5: I really understand.

513
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 4: You know, you had some demons to get out yourself

514
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 4: and really place onto the shoulders of Jags facts and

515
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 4: in that way you are free.

516
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: Exactly like that's how you process it. You send it

517
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: off onto someone else.

518
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: And that was a good shout to Brian Nielsen and

519
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: the coordinator because for most of that game they're playing

520
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: a lot of man coverage against the Dolphins. Was a

521
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: little surprising. And if you take out those two big plays,

522
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: which I know is a big if, but if you

523
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: took out the two other plays, like, they look pretty

524
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: good in that game. The running game was good. They

525
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: looked like a different team to me. It was a

526
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: couple of drops really hurt of me. All Right, let's

527
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: go to my counseling session. Okay, and I'm so glad

528
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: that Joe Burrow is joining me here. Oh, and I'm

529
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: glad he came in. Joe, I understand your concern about

530
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: your one and eight record in weeks one and two

531
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: in your career. That's outrageous, and it's true. The numbers

532
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: aren't pretty out of forty five quarterbacks over the last

533
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: few years, in those weeks one and two, you are

534
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: thirty ninth out of forty five, Joe. So I want

535
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: to bring up something sensitive, but you pay me a

536
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: lot of money like I'm worth it, so I'm going

537
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: to give it to you straight. You looked a little

538
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: afraid to play aggressive, Joe, and I think that's natural.

539
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: You're coming off a risk surgery. The Pats really good defense,

540
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: show you a lot of disguised looks. I think you

541
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: can learn from this because this is not the Joe

542
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: we know Dunkin and Duncan throwing the ball short on

543
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: third down when there's guys in single coverage on the outside.

544
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: The Joe we know doesn't check down. The Joe we

545
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: know was there at training camp. We saw it. There

546
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: was proof we saw in the preseason that he was

547
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: ripping it. It's not about your wrist, Joe. You just

548
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: have to get used to it. And I have a

549
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: theory for you, Joe, It's all about Joe cool. You've

550
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: been in such big games before, Super Bowl, National Championship,

551
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's just like tough to feel like weeks

552
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: one and two this makes me it's a little dead

553
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: inside of these games like really matter. And that's why

554
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you, Joe, like this is the

555
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: perfect week for you. You're going to Arrowhead. That is

556
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: the opponent you actually want in week two, because weeks

557
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: one and two do matter. You batter Joe Burrow a

558
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: six point underdog. They used to call this place Joe Burrowhead.

559
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: Don't listen to uh anyone out there. Weeks one and

560
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: two do matter, and I think this is the week

561
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: you make all those stats go away.

562
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 4: He does always thrive when there's something, you know, maybe

563
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 4: he just needs a little push. Yeah, just a little

564
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 4: push like like you're saying, and he really but he

565
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 4: does thrive.

566
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 5: He's got that, you know. The CJ. Strouds have that,

567
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 5: the Matthew Staffords.

568
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 4: Have that that little that little killer mentality that is

569
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: like a switch that flips on where you're very calm

570
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: and cool on the outside, but and maybe icy.

571
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 5: You know hair ha hair reference.

572
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 4: But but you're you're ready to just rumble on the inside.

573
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 4: And I think that maybe this environment, this challenge, the

574
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 4: stakes of this and also watching his own tape from

575
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 4: this last week, and I don't know who that man is.

576
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 5: Situation.

577
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's gotta be a little bit of

578
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 4: a motivating factor. Maybe we were on chip alert m

579
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 4: for Joe Burrow, but I mean, you gotta do some

580
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: creation of it himself.

581
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: I think it really hit when you talked about Joe

582
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: Burrow being used to these huge big game scenarios with

583
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 2: all of like the pressure and all of the eyes

584
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: just like uh, feeling something for a week one game,

585
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: even though yes, it.

586
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: Is a big deal, but it's like, yeah, I don't know.

587
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: Sometimes during the season it's like you're in Week five.

588
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: Like sometimes just in general, it's tough to feel things

589
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 2: inside if it's not like a massive moment.

590
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: I identify with that. It's why we have to work

591
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: on Colleen a lot before these Tuesdays. So she's been

592
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: in such a big spot. It's like, all right, let's

593
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 1: let's bring it, let's wake up. But what a big

594
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: spot this week.

595
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 5: So I'm you're arrowhead in this situation. You're not Joe.

596
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 4: You're I'm talking to Joe, I say, with Colleen, With Colleen,

597
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 4: you are you are the chiefs in this situation.

598
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Now, I think I'm more the You're the biggest favorite

599
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: in the league. A on a one pm game against

600
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That's NFL Daily, Like, we need to get

601
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: Colleen to just feel a little more juicues. I am.

602
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: This is my highlight of the week, Greg, I love

603
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: all my shows equally.

00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: We got her in the headset today, Yeah that is

605
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 4: and it looks great.

606

Speaker 1: All right, Jordan, you're up.

607
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 4: Okay, you guys, this time of year, this falls under

608
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 4: the category of desperately seeking self help. Okay, because this

609
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 4: time of year many people go to therapy to approach

610
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 4: the difficult to navigate dinner table discussions between opinionated factions.

611
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: At the holidays.

612
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 4: Right, this is about that time you start seeking answers

613
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 4: and tools. So I'm here to tell you how to

614
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 4: talk to your loved ones about Sam Donald.

615
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, my points are three. Three, My points are okay.

616
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,320

Speaker 4: about Sam Donald. Point to the tape. Yes, this is

618

Speaker 4: a plug for NFL Pro because what a great website.

619
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 4: Sam Donald opened Sunday's game by halftime thirteen for fourteen

620
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: for one hundred and fifty one yards and a touchdown.

621
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 4: He looked confident the entire game. Made a couple of

622
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 4: iffy decisions, but for the most part, made good decisions,

623
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 4: a couple of tight window throws, and the offense felt

624
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: really cohesive.

625
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 5: Step two.

626
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 4: That he has more help in his head coach Kevin O'Connell,

627
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: his receivers Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jalen Naylor, and

628
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 4: his run game with Aaron Jones. Jones six point seven

629
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 4: yards per Carrie ninety four yards four point ninety four

630
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 4: yards per rush after contact, which is the highest for

631
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 4: a Vikings running back since Week ten and twenty twenty two.

632
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 4: Had to by colleague Allic Lewis for digging that stat up.

633
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 4: But they're actually not playing cushion the quarterback as much

634
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 4: as you would think, so less play action than I

635
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 4: thought they would run. They're only nineteen point two percent

636
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 4: play action used, and they've got him a shotgun like

637
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: seventy percent of the time where he went thirteen for

638
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 4: seventeen for one hundred and fifty six yards and two touchdowns.

639
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell is giving him multiple correct answers on a play.

640
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: There's been one going around where it's at twenty two

641
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: yard pass to Josh Oliver the tight end. And really

642
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 4: what's so special about the coordination of the offense and

643
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 4: the design of the play from Kevin O'Connell is that

644
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 4: if the Giants coverage rules on that play dictated that

645
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 4: three players flowed toward Justin Jefferson, leaving Josh Oliver open

646
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 4: in the seam or under less coverage than he would

647
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 4: have been on that vertical in the seam, if one

648
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 4: player would have peeled away from Justin Jefferson, So breaking

649
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: the tendency rules that Kevin O'Connell and Sam Donald are studying,

650
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 4: then that's when you hit Justin Jefferson and you're able

651
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,719
Speaker 4: to lead him, probably for a touchdown. So even if

652
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 4: the defense does everything right, there's an answer. If the

653
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 4: defense does one thing quote unquote wrong, there's also an answer.

654
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: So providing Sam Donald multiple answers on one play and

655
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 4: number three. But Sam Donald has been so streaky while

656
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 4: with the Jets and Panthers, at some point he'll be

657
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 4: a pumpkin again. You can admit to your loved ones

658
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 4: that the data is clear on this, but now you

659
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 4: can accept a compromise. It's okay for a quarterback with

660
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 4: the high ceiling and one of the streakiest middles and floors.

661
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 5: We've seen from a high draft pick to.

662
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 4: Get that middle and floor elevated by the ecosystem around him.

663
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 4: It's also true that he may have some tougher days.

664
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 4: History says he will. Both can be true at the

665
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 4: same time. The point is Minnesota is maximizing production on

666
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 4: the high moments and limiting opportunities to make bad decisions

667
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 4: or negative plays.

668
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 5: That's how you talk to your loved one.

669
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: I love that Jordan, I am Donald. Two things can

670
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: be true at once. The duality of Sam Darnald is

671
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: what I'm hearing.

672
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: I am. I'm a little worried that when I get

673
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: deep into the tendencies of coverage rules and how three

674
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: people are going to go with Justin Jefferson to my

675
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: loved ones, that I'm going to lose track of it

676
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: and they won't know what the hell I'm talking about.

677
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: This is how you actually get them, This is how

678
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: you get them.

679
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: It's a little deep. Yeah, it's a tough one. I

680
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: feel like this feels a little targeted towards me.

681
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm just giving the public some advice and therapy

682
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 4: on the self help time of this holiday public is

683
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: quickly approaching.

684
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: Look that Donald Hyatt. They're going to enjoy week one.

685
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

686
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: It is a great situation. You're not going to play that.

687
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: I was so excited when I saw Sam Darnold.

688
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch this team. As much as I like,

689
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: I agree with you, I think the floor is going

690
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: to be higher. That he's been a disappointing player and

691
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: he's got a real chance to rewrite the type of

692
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: player he is where that he can be a useful

693
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: NFL starter. But they're going to get over their skis,

694
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, the Darnald Hive.

695
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: I only the first part of your sentence.

696
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: So all right, Colleen, let's go around the room one

697
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: more time.

698
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 3: So here we go.

699
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: This one goes out to Jets fans, Hey, Jets fans,

700
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: Your old friend Colleen here to offer you a shoulder

701
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: to cry on, because that's what friends are for. Tough

702
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: drawl for Week one, open the season on the road,

703
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: last game of the week against a team that almost

704
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl, reached the NFC Championship three times

705
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: in the last five years.

706
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: It was rough.

707
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 2: I gotta lie a team without one of their most

708
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: dynamic weapons and a surprise pregame twist who used an

709
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech to rush for

710
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty seven yards on your defense, a

711
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: defense ran by Robert Sala and Jeff Olbrick, both former

712
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. But the strongest steal goes through the

713
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: hottest fire. So at some point these crucibles should pay off.

714
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, he still has a cannon of an arm.

715
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 2: You waited an entire year for Rogers to come back.

716
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: You have to trust the patients, trust the process. And

717
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: I know it's been repeated one hundred thousand times from

718
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 2: the book of Aaron Rodgers.

719
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: Relax.

720
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: I know I always respond so well when someone else

721
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: tells me so Titan things up.

722
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 3: You actually have.

723
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: The Titans next week, who just like you lost. Maybe

724
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: give Hassan Raddick a call. And remember it's not as

725
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: bad as last year's.

726
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 3: Week one loss.

727
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: They won Week one last year, right, But this.

728
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 3: Is like what the Aaron Rodgers of it all.

729
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: You would rather Robert Sala said, you would rather lose

730
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers than win without it.

731
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 4: Essentially, I did like on the broadcast they had a

732
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 4: sort of a graphic celebrating after Rogers made it past

733
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 4: four plays.

734
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 5: It was like a little ticker on the that's.

735
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: Rude, that's too much. I do put myself in the

736
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: shoes though, of listening in this therapy session, and I

737
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: think if going through the Crucible made you stronger, the

738
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: Jets fans in their organization would be the strongest in

739
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. And yet where are the results.

740
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: You know, they're still going through it, They're still building,

741
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 2: they're still like fortifying.

742
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: I think there was something there too, with the whole

743
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: Roberts a Kyle Shanahan thing. I don't know that.

744
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 5: I can't like he knew hominous respect.

745
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 3: I guess you could have said he has aminous respect

746
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 3: if the Jets had.

747
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: Got in there and went, I could say the opposite.

748
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: But he felt I felt like he really knew what

749
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: to do to scramble this great Robert Salad defense, because

750
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: that's the worst Jets performance since Robert Sala has been

751
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: there in terms of the defense. He knew exactly how

752
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: to attack that group and he used to go against

753
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: Robert Sala every single day in practice.

754
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 4: It is a classic Kyle Shanahan against the former coach

755
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 4: move to play a deep reserve running back or you know,

756
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 4: former un drafted or late round pick running back and

757
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 4: just hammer your biggest weakness on defense, which is their

758
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: defensive line with especially minus Reddick, and just hammer and

759
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 4: hammer and hammer, and like circle the group on the

760
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 4: little whiteboard in the meetings with a green circle and

761
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 4: then that's who you run at the entire time. That

762
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 4: is a classic Kyle shan on a hand versus former

763
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: assistant move that front. I mean to counter a little

764
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I I think I think the Titans are

765
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 4: also going to run the snot out of the ball

766
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 4: at this front. So Joe douglas man take Colleen's therapeutic advice.

767
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 5: Get on the post on Reddick, Where are you right?

768
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: I don't know did those problems? I don't know if

769
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: a sod Reddick can fix them all? But he would help,

770
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: it would it would be nice. Yeah, you traded a

771
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: third round pick for him. All right, I'm gonna take

772
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: you to something a little different than like a therapist office.

773
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: Is more of a crisis management team. Oh wow, the

774
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: NFL league office. Actually the hotline. It's Roger Goodell's office.

775
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: Let's start with the bad news, boss, Roger, can I

776
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: call you? Uh yeah? That was the fewest passing touchdowns

777
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: since so six that's true in a week one back then.

778
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: The top quarterbacks that week were Donovan McNabb, Kurt Warren,

779
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: and Charlie Batch. No way fun quarterback Charlie Batch. The

780
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: fewest net passing yards since two thousand in a week one,

781
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: down almost thirty percent from the all time high, which

782
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: was only five years ago. That was fun when we

783
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: just thought we're gonna be putting up forty every week

784
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: and it's passing, passing, passing. Only two three hundred yard passers.

785
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: All that's bad. You know what's good what evolution. This

786
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: is a game where whatever's in eventually goes out, whatever's

787
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: out goes in. You know what made people fall in

788
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: love with football in the first place. It's physicality. It's

789
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: the running game. It's steamrolling over defenders. When the sport

790
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: exploded in the seventies and eighties, that was the sport.

791
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: And the running game is coming back. And if you

792
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: look at the EPA per play, we are closer than

793
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: we have been in so long to a run being

794
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: as efficient as a pass on APPA if you include

795
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: quarterback scrambles, they actually were in Week one, which is

796
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy roj. Which gets to my other point here.

797
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: People love the quarterbacks running. That was the most quarterback

798
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: rushing yards in a Week one ever, Like, what is

799
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: more fun than a quarterback running? It's not hurting scoring.

800
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: We fix things, you know, a little bit with the

801
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: field position. As long as we're scoring, like things will change.

802
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: The coolest kids in the league like Mike McDaniel are

803
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: putting full backs on the field and multiple tight ends

804
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: like it's all an evolution, and the evolution is what

805
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: makes our sport better than all the others.

806
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 4: It is it cycles around every five to seven years.

807
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 4: You're seeing defensive personnel also get larger, but also more

808
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 4: hybrid safeties who can play linebacker again like we did

809
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 4: eight ten years ago. You're seeing multiple tight ends on

810
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 4: the field for a lot of teams. You're seeing teams

811
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 4: load up and play keep away, either with that heavy

812
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: personnel and a great running back or a tandem of

813
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 4: run who are splitting a carry share and using the

814
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 4: quarterback as not just a running weapon but a battering ram.

815
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 4: If I'm talking about Anthony Richardson that amazing play that

816
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: he made over the weekend. You're using all of this

817
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 4: to score versus these explosive pass plays, and the league

818
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 4: is sort of rubber banding back from where defense is.

819
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: Kind of like it. I kind of like that, like

820
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: a big time passing day, like too, I had a

821
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: big passing day, like feels really special. I like it

822
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: because it feels different because I just at some point

823
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: I just assumed it was going up forever. And I

824
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: think it's cool that it's it's a little different.

825
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything old is new again, and that is the

826
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: case for the NFL.

827
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: I will tell you, yes, my hill, that I will

828
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 4: die on the tiny table. Take that is a little

829
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: too wild for tiny table.

830
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: Day that let's not talk about our tiny table tape.

831
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are gonna walking away from that tiny table.

832
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 4: I think that if passing stays down, scoring is scoring

833
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: is up and the same, and that's good and that's

834
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 4: what the league cares about obviously. But if passing stays down,

835
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 4: I do think more rule changes could be on it.

836
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: Sure, Oh yeah, that was part of the subtext. We

837
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: don't want to get in trouble here, but yes, we're always,

838
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, looking to just put our finger on the

839
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: dial to help out those quarterbacks. It's fun. People like its.

840
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: Let's see a little more long ball though, Like the

841
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: average air yards per attempt has been like nose diving.

842
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: All the passes are shorter. I don't love that.

843
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 3: I just want more Anthony Richards.

844
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's he's kind of exactly what we want running

845
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: in bombs all right. Final one, Jordan.

846
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 4: Well, this is more of a pep talk slash dose

847
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 4: of reality here. Anther's fans, this is your life, and

848
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 4: I hope it gets better. Oh Panthers fans. I truly

849
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 4: want better for you. You deserve better than partner after partner,

850
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 4: season after season, forecasting to you a lifetime of happiness

851
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 4: and joy, only to leave you crying on your couch

852
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 4: after some transgression. It's not your fault. So instead, I

853
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 4: can't watch you get hurt anymore. So instead of opening

854
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 4: yourself up to once again hope and cautious optimism. And

855
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 4: I know, I know it's tempting to listen to the

856
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 4: hope mongering and buy back in, it's time to steel

857
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 4: yourselves to reality. This team will be rebuilding for multiple years.

858
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 4: The roster, inherited and in part enabled by general manager

859
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 4: Dan Morgan is a disaster to veteran and depleted a

860
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 4: key positions on defense.

861
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 5: Even Igiro Evro, who's regarded.

862
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,959
Speaker 4: As a top defensive coordinator, as having a hard time

863
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 4: scheming around some of this. If you have to claim

864
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 4: three dbs off of waivers on August twenty.

865
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 5: Eighth, you are in danger.

866
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: Girl.

867
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 4: The offense, it's still obviously a work in progress at receiver,

868
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 4: tight end, running back, and multiple offensive line positioned.

869
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 5: Rebuilding takes time. It takes patience.

870
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 4: Only a team with an above average to elite quarterback

871
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 4: can sprint rebuild, and it's still not clear whether you

872
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 4: do have a quarterback who can lead you into the

873
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 4: next era. Getting a clean evaluation of Bryce Young is

874
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 4: the most important task this season. When you know what

875
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 4: you have at quarterback or don't have, you can define

876
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 4: the rebuild window. Developing a very young, very relatively inexperienced

877
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 4: head coach and Dave Canalis is the second most important thing.

878
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 4: Overhauling the talent identification process within the pro and college

879
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 4: scouting departments, which Dan Morgan quietly started to do this summer,

880
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 4: is third. It will take time, and I don't know

881
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 4: who needs to hear this, somebody important, probably, But without

882
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 4: a quarterback, this type of ecosystemic construction will take multiple years.

883
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 4: It will take patients, It will take a non reactionary

884
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 4: understanding of where to keep developing and where to cut ties.

885
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 4: Panthers fans, I want you to win. I want you

886
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 4: to feel the rush of joy. But I can't watch

887
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 4: you build up hope every spring and summer only to

888
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 4: suffer after all that's happened. Perhaps there's freedom too, and

889
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 4: simply going numb for a while.

890
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a good idea of this go

891
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: to surrender this season, be like, be like our friend

892
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: David Ely in the newsroom, and he's just he's not

893
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: claiming the Panthers anymore. He's just like he'll come back someday.

894
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: But I think he's disconnecting for a little while. And

895
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: that's okay. When you have someone toxic, something toxic in

896
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: your life, it's okay to just cut him out till

897
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: they get better.

898
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just gotta let a let loosen your grip

899
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 2: on the wheel a bit and maybe just hit auto

900
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 2: pilot for a little while.

901
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: It's a long season. I do worry that you won't

902
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: get like a complete evaluation of Brycing if every game

903
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: was like this. But I think the offensive line, which

904
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: wasn't terrible, I didn't think of this game actually like

905
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: there was a couple of busts in terms of figuring.

906
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 5: Out that would blitz sump into your quarterback.

907
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: As you're yeah, it wasn't great, but uh, hopefully that

908
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: part of it improves. They do need a left tackle though,

909
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,959
Speaker 1: you know they whift on on con. I just don't

910
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: think that's ever gonna happen for them. That's why you

911
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: gotta go numb. All right, let's not go numb to

912
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: our TNF preview that's gonna be right after the break.

913
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: We'll see you back on NFL Daily. And it is

914
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: time for our TNF preview, presented by Prime Video Thursday

915
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: Night Football. I'm excited. This is a great TNF game,

916
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins and Bills, and you should check out myself and

917
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: Bill Barnwell of ESPN, one of the very best in

918
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 1: the business. We're gonna go live on YouTube about fifteen

919
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: minutes after the game, once we get our notes in order,

920
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: and we'll do our TNF recap then. But let's talk

921
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: about this game. Two teams that one in week one

922
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: give us a little extra juice when it's too one

923
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: of oh teams. These two teams have obviously played a

924
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: lot over the last couple years because they also had

925
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: a playoff game two years ago. And it sort of

926
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: slipped my mind that the Bills have won four in

927
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: a row, so Sean McDermott's kind of had Mike McDaniel's number,

928
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: although most of them have been close. But last year

929
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: in a big spot, the Dolphins were I think we're

930
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: three to oh, and the Bills went down to Miami

931
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: and put a hurt on them, and then they won

932
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: the division against them in Week eighteen in Buffalo. So

933
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: right now the division goes through Buffalo. What did we take,

934
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: Colleen kind of out of week one that we can

935
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: push forward into this match.

936
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, both of these teams rallied from fourteen point

937
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 2: deficits in the first half to win their respective games.

938
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: Obviously for Buffalo. For both teams it's a short week,

939
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 2: but for Buffalo it's a short week to prepare for

940
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 2: a really fast team. I'm really excited to see Jordan

941
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: Poyer in this game, who spent seven seasons in Buffalo.

942
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 3: Now he signed with Miami.

943
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 2: Play against Josh Allen after going against him so many

944
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: years in practice, they finally get to actually have a

945
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: real game matchup against each other. And Josh Allen coming

946
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 2: off of that game where he had it was a

947
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: crazy game for him, four touchdowns, he was hurtling, he

948
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: was running all.

949
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 3: Over the place.

950
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: They were worried about his left arm for a while,

951
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: but as Steve Mariucci said last night, left arm, left

952
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 2: hand doesn't even matter. You don't even need it if

953
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 2: you're wrong with your right one. But Josh Allen picked

954
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 2: apart Miami secondary last year in both of those games,

955
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 2: so I think that this is one that it's obviously

956
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: going to be an awesome game. I loved watching Joe

957
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 2: Brady run the ball in Buffalo.

958
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 3: He just fed James Cook. It just opened things up.

959
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 2: And then defensively the Bills, they're gonna need Cam Lewis

960
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 2: again to step up because Taran Johnson they won't have

961
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: him their nickel corner. He heard his forearm against the

962
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals in that first drive, and Lewis was pretty effective

963
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: stopping the pass and the run in his place. And

964
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 2: he takes a lot of pride in his versatility that

965
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 2: he plays at that position. He can play corner, safety

966
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 2: at nickel corner, and he can just wear a lot

967
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 2: of different hats in the secondary. They can rotate him around,

968
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 2: so he's kind of their Swiss Army knife, which they're

969
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: lucky to have.

970
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Toron Johnson was a guy I remember, the athletic

971
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: Joe Basaglia does a great job with him. He had

972
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: a list of like, who are the most indispensable players

973
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: on their entire team. I think he had Toron Johnson

974
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: number two. So it's just because he's so good and

975
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: so that's something you worry about obviously going against the Dolphins,

976
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 1: who can put Tyreek or Jalen Waddle in the slot.

977
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: I think the best defense maybe against the Dolphins is

978
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: just being a loaded offense. It's you know, the reason

979
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: I picked this Buffalo's team to win the Super Bowl

980
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: was because of their offense. Now, the matchup was right

981
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: in Week one, but they led the entire NFL by

982
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 1: far in success. Right, they went up and down the

983
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: field on the Cardinals despite falling from behind. They went

984
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: for fourth down a couple times in situations where Sean

985
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: McDermott I don't think would have in the past. It

986
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: didn't work in the first half, it worked in the

987
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: second half. So like I love you, I love that

988
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, stay aggressive. This is an offensive team now,

989
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: and I just love the cohesion in the running game.

990
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: It looks so good like they know when to use

991
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen as a runner in the red zone without

992
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: majoring in that, but Ray Davis has some burst as

993
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: a backup, and James Cook looks awesome, and it looks

994
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: like an offensive line Jordan that has been together now

995
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. They just gave Spencer Brown

996
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: a new contract actually this week, and I love that

997
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: running game going up against this Dolphins defense, who I

998
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: thought also played well in Week one.

999
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, because the Dolphins pressure looks a little bit better

1000
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 4: so far early. Obviously, they got some guys back from

1001
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 4: injuries last season. So you're gonna if you're the Bills

1002
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 4: and Josh Allen, you are gonna want to run the

1003
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 4: ball at this front. I think kind of ironically, they're

1004
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 4: gonna What I would do if I were them, would

1005
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 4: be to do similar to what the Cardinals initially tried

1006
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 4: to do against Josh Allen and the Bills, which is

1007
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 4: load up, run the ball, and play keep away and

1008
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 4: try to keep the ball out of a tug of

1009
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 4: Iloa's hands, out of Tyreek Hill's hands, and specifically to

1010
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 4: protect your own defense, which is super vulnerable the Bills

1011
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 4: defenses in the middle of the field, at inside linebacker

1012
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 4: and at safety, where they've been having quite a few

1013
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 4: issues with coverage. The Cardinals were really effectively able to

1014
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 4: use misdirection to change the contact points against some of

1015
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 4: these linebackers and safeties Tailor Rap struggled in coverage, and

1016
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 4: you're also again like to y'all's point, you're you're without

1017
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 4: Taron Johnson, and the Dolphins are the misdirection pre snap

1018
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 4: motion kings right seventy nine percent of offensive plays in

1019
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 4: Week one, they're also used.

1020
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 5: They're also running the ball.

1021
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 4: And a lot of to a tongue of Iloa's passing

1022
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 4: is coming out of pistol to keep the misdirection in

1023
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 4: the run game forty one point and forty percent in shotguns,

1024
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 4: So they're really keeping everything open in front to try

1025
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 4: to get a lot of that pre snap movement going.

1026
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 4: So again to your point, Greg, if the Bills can

1027
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 4: run the ball effectively, you actually can keep the ball

1028
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 4: out of to a tongue of Iloa's hands and out

1029
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 4: of that offensive offensive hand, offensive hands where the Dolphins

1030
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 4: are kind of kings at attacking the parts of the

1031
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 4: field where the Bills are the most vulnerable.

1032
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: Right now, right last week, who is it? Terrell Bernard

1033
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: who had a tough time against the Cardinals and Dorian

1034
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: Williams who's stepping in for Matt Allana, he struggled. I

1035
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: like the agro tua. Him and McDaniel kind of talked

1036
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,280
Speaker 1: about this idea of skipping reads that in the past,

1037
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 1: like he had the like a high low concept where

1038
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: the receivers open underneath and that's actually his first read.

1039
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: But now he's kind of learned, like, hey that I

1040
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: seen what I see pre snap and knowing it's Tyreek

1041
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: out there, like, let's just skip past that first read.

1042
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: Let's get super aggressive. And they protected pretty well. I

1043
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: want to take back what I said on the Sunday

1044
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: night recap after rewatching this game a little bit. I

1045
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 1: think the offensive line actually played well. They feel good

1046
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: right now that they have at least three quality players.

1047
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: They have the right tackle who they gave money to,

1048
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: toront Armstat's healthy right now, and they got center Aaron

1049
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: brewerback who had a nice first game, and they're going

1050
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: to be going up. Yeah. I think the offenses have

1051
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: the advantage just on both sides of the ball. Although

1052
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: little von Miller pop Week one, von Miller was kind

1053
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 1: of backsso I think is making the leap. But von

1054
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: Miller had like five pressures. He didn't play the whole game.

1055
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: I think that's good. Maybe a little less is more

1056
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: for von Miller because.

1057
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 2: Oh he sucked Kyler Murray like three times and he

1058
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 2: had the force fumble.

1059
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: I love this uh. Two, when I look at the

1060
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: Bill's secondary, the matchup of Tyreek Hill and Christian Benford,

1061
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: who's who's kind of like a sneaky, like Pro Bowl

1062
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: like potential candidate. He had a really good Week one.

1063
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: A lot of it was against Marvin Harrison Junior. He

1064
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: shut them down. And then you mentioned finally the Dolphins defense.

1065
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: New coordinator Anthony Weaver didn't really blitz at all in

1066
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: Week one, which was interesting, and they got some good pressure.

1067
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips is back from this achilles tear and had

1068
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: a really good Week one. Jalen Ramsey did not, and

1069
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: so that's just something to watch. Maybe it was he

1070
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: wasn't practicing for a while. Yeah, so maybe that was

1071
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: an issue. Kalis Campbell what an amazing signing. Everything he

1072
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: went through that was terrible last week. But kind of

1073
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: lost in that is like Khalaias Campbell was on the

1074
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: field and was one of the best players. Again, he's ageless.

1075
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 5: He's just remarkable as a player as a human.

1076
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, she's one of the best.

1077
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: And like he was one of the reasons they won

1078
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: that game in early sack in that game. All right,

1079
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: let's pick it. We'll start with you, Jordan.

1080
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pick the Dolphins just because I do think

1081
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 4: that if you can stop the run against the.

1082
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 5: Bill, a tall task, that's a big if.

1083
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 4: If you could stop the run against the Bills and

1084
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 4: get the ball back into the Dolphins offense's hands, the

1085
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 4: Bills are so so vulnerable in the parts of the

1086
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 4: field that Tua and that offense likes to attack and

1087
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 4: is very successful.

1088
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: At my god, this is such a tough one to call,

1089
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 2: but I think just because of the Dolphins speed on

1090
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 2: the short week, and then all of the issues that

1091
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 2: Buffalo has on their defense, like there's just too many

1092
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 2: ways that Mike McDaniel can attack them.

1093
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 3: So it's I'm gonna go Dolphins.

1094
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: Always tough for the road team and the Thursday night, yeah,

1095
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: second week especially, this is something where like whichever team

1096
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,479
Speaker 1: can just rotate in players because like you're not really

1097
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: ready to play a full game and then you're really

1098
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: not ready to play another full game four days later.

1099
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: But I'm taking the Bills only one of these teams,

1100
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: says Josh Allen. That's my MVP pick, and I love

1101
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: I loved how he played in Week one. He had

1102
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: one play where he held it too long and fumbled.

1103
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: But for the most part, actually I thought he's making

1104
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: quicker decisions. I just think he gets these two quarterbacks

1105
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 1: are so much better than they were two years ago

1106
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: in terms of decision making. He's making quicker decisions throwing

1107
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: the ball too. So just I'm taking the team that

1108
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 1: has Josh Allen and that has won four straight in

1109
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: this matchup. That's a big one. Like that was this

1110
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: week's TNF preview, presented by Prime Video. Be sure to

1111
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: watch the Bills take on the Miami Dolphins this Thursday

1112
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: on Prime Video. All right, uh, that's it. We got

Speaker 3: You should be proud.

1119
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: Multiple things, can't you. We are worthy of love. Maybe

1120
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1121
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 5: I'm not like I believe him.

1122
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 2: If he's bad to you, don't even think twice you

1123
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 2: don't need him anymore.

1124
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: Wootball's back.
