1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire for Monday,

3
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: October tenth. It is a joyous, beautiful, spectacular Monday in October.

4
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Just a phenomenal weekend all around, captive course, with the

5
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: New York Jets putting an ass whooping on the Dolphins.

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I did say on Cowhard Show Friday,

7
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: I would do the gritty if the Jets won. If

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: he wants me to do it, I will do it.

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: I've been practicing a little bit over the weekend, you know, listen,

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: a lot of time on my hands, have practiced the

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: gritty while I was celebrating the Jets victory on Sunday. Overall,

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: this really strong weekend on the gambling front. Only three

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: and two in the contest because of that redheaded clown

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz just an unbelievable buffoon move. Three shots at

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: the gold line, and he tried to throw an inner

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: seption on first down and second down, and then on

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: third down he did. I think he got a Benjim honestly,

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: not just because of that. He he had a decent

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: game before that. But he's just Ron Rivera is in trouble,

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: and um, I don't care about the Redskins, so we're

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: stopping there. But overall weekend recap, um, I had my

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: you guys know, I joined that tennis ladder, so I

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: was too and oh and I played this guy, the

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: first guy who I've played who just was not friendly.

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: He was like all business, walks up, like, doesn't really

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: say anything, almost no talking. And I had opened my uh,

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, I played in the tennis tournaments in the

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: summer and they do no ad so if it goes

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: to douce, whoever wins the point wins it just because

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: like you could do ad in dues add in and

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: it could take forever. He goes, no, those that's not

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: in the rules. I'm like, oh, well the other people

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: did it. They're like, yeah, that's that's not part of

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: the rules where I don't want to do that. And

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: it was like, in like a cold manner, I was like,

36
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: all right. He was a little older than me, and

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's been doing this for He's like I've

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: played twenty years and nobody's tried to nobody's asked to

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: do that. I was like, all right, and I beat

40
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: his ass in the first set, and then he realized

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I was just running him around the court because I've

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: been playing more so my accuracy is better. So what

43
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: did he start doing? He just started hitting moonballs in

44
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: the second set. And you know, you guys care greatly

45
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: about my tennis game, but the worst thing that someone

46
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: could do against me is just hit moonballs. And then

47
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: it's just like being being like Grandmont tennis. And I

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: got so frustrated. I'm going to hit winners, and then

49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: I started messing up. So he beat me in the

50
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: second set, and I was ticked off. But we're running

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: out of time because you only have two hours. So

52
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: he played a tiebreaker and I beat his ass, and

53
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: I like was doing some fist pumps just because he

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: wasn't friendly, like between the you know when you switched

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: on odds, He like wasn't saying anything. He just wouldn't

56
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't talk, not like any friendly banter. Every other person

57
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: I've only played two was like, oh yeah, so what

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: do you do do you live here? I like, blah

59
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, this guide nothing. So I was

60
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: so happy to beat him. Anyways, Uh, that victory was

61
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: offset by Nickoxa, the soccer team I owned in Mexico,

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: losing the t grace. I don't really want to get

63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: into the game. It sucked. Team's gonna have some We

64
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: got some stuff to do. Um. We Fortunately, we had

65
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: a man advantage basically because of a red card on

66
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: the other anti gris and we had at man advantage

67
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: for about twenty five minutes in the first half and

68
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: we could do nothing with it. So disappointing. So then

69
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: of course they give one of our guys a red card. YadA, YadA, YadA.

70
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: We lose to nothing. Uh, kids, sports you don't really

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: care about. So let's get to the UH. I don't know.

72
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: There's a couple of big stories. Rob and I were

73
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: batting around beforehand. Rob wants to go in on on

74
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: the Rams, and that's fine. The Ram stink both Super

75
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: Bowl teams from last year and now two and three.

76
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: I had a hot take, uh that the Pittsburgh Steelers

77
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: should seriously consider tanking the rest of the season. Now

78
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: hear me out. I know Kenny Pickett was a first

79
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: round pick and he's gonna get a chance, but I'm

80
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: telling you, guys, he ain't gonna have a fair shot.

81
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: They played Tampa this week. Okay, Tampa's defense is going

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: to give him hell. Mariota and the Falcons were able

83
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: to come in the back door because Mariota was running

84
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: the football. Pick it ain't running the football after that,

85
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: my m e by then, two of might be back

86
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: after that Philadelphia, which looks like a bit of a

87
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: machine right now. So the Steelers heading into their buyer

88
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: are probably gonna be one and seven at that point.

89
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: Do you rush t J. Watt back? There was a

90
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: story by the way Sunday from Shifter that what had

91
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: an additional procedure this week that may take an extra

92
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: week or two for him to heal. And you start

93
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: reading between the lines, you're like, hm, can you pick it?

94
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Decent quarterback? But he was nobody's number one, right if

95
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: you're that bad. And by the way, the Texans finally

96
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: got a dub yesterday. They were not the better team

97
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: against the Jags, but they beat him. And you know,

98
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: if you look at some of these teams, it's like,

99
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: holy cow, is Pittsburgh one of the three worst teams

100
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: in the league. They have, according to one metric, the

101
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: toughest schedule the rest of the way, toughest schedule the

102
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: rest of the way and you're like, wow, they have

103
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: I think they were down five defensive starters yesterday. I

104
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: think Pittsburgh should seriously consider saying t J. Watt, don't

105
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: force for stre way back. Mika Fitzpatrick, you're hurt, listen,

106
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. The offensive line camp block. They

107
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: have no running game whatsoever. You know, Picket's gonna have

108
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: a chance to fling it. But I think if you

109
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: can work and get one of the top three picks,

110
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: and if it's c J. Stroud is your guy, if

111
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: you're a Bryce, young guy who whatever your fancy, I

112
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: think Pittsburgh has to seriously consider we got no shot here. Guys.

113
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is gonna come back late in the season.

114
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: The Bengals are two and three, but I think the

115
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: Bengals are gonna be in the mix for a wild card.

116
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Uh spot. Ravens three and two, and they're better than

117
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: three and two. You know that. So I I think

118
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is a team you're gonna want to take a

119
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: look at um to just sell, Like if you could

120
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: sell off some players, trade some wide receivers, Listen, Green

121
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: Bay is desperate need of wide receivers. If you watch

122
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: that game in London, and I was playing basketball for

123
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: most of it, so I missed a chunk of it.

124
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: But as I take the court, they're up. I think

125
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: it was seventeen three, They're rolling, and I'm like, oh,

126
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: I got this next thing. I know, look, and they

127
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: can't put him away. It was seventeen three in the

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: second quarter. The Packers had nothing in the second half. Nothing.

129
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: They need receivers. I know people think Dobbs and Watson

130
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: are gonna be there at Randall Cobb as a factor.

131
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: It's like, wait a minute, really, if you're telling me

132
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: that you can go out and grab a Chase Claypool.

133
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: You know, they like Pickens, they like Deonte Johnson. They

134
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: barely used Chase Claypool. Why wouldn't Why wouldn't the Steelers

135
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: consider selling off some of their parts. I think it

136
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: makes sense, and Pittsburgh needs a bad, bad rebuild. I

137
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: think they're one of the bigger stories of the first

138
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: five games of the season. Mike Tomlin has never had

139
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: a losing season. He suffers his worst loss ever thirty

140
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: eight three. The Buffalo Bills had eight passing plays of

141
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty or more yards, including two bombs to Gabrielle Davis,

142
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: who who looked incredible, or stealing one from Fitzpatrick. I

143
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen coming out of this game definitely is

144
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: your m v P leader. It had been Lamar for

145
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: a minute, It's got to be Josh Allen. I mean,

146
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: the guy had three forty eight yards and four touchdowns

147
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: in the first half. It was thirty one three. It

148
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: was thirty one three, and they basically took their foot

149
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: off the gas second half, just coasted. This is a

150
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: bad Pittsburgh team right now. A Buffalo is a is

151
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: a team that that looks really, really good facing dregs

152
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: of the league. They either blow you out of there

153
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: in a close game. I think the game against Kansas

154
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: City next week is the game of the week for sure.

155
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: It's in case if you remember I liked Kansas City

156
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: against Tampa because a couple of weeks ago because of

157
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl revenge factor. Which team of Casey or

158
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo do you think has been thinking about their last

159
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: meeting for the last oh, I don't know, nine months. Buffalo.

160
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: All we're gonna hear all week is that what was

161
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: it like? A thirteen second drive to force overtime? And

162
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: then a coin toss and there's no Tyree killing this one.

163
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo, if they're getting healthy, we gotta check

164
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: injury reports. Is is gonna be probably bet heavily this week.

165
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: I think I think I would probably take Kansas City.

166
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: But it's early, and let's see what happens on Monday

167
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: Night football tonight. We'll we'll do a best bet later

168
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: in the show. Um, can I take a moment rob

169
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: it and and talk about the Jets? I mean? Or

170
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: do I need to go right to the ramps? Can I?

171
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: Can I just go to the Jets they had a

172
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: big win, Go ahead and talk about the Jets ahead.

173
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna record this wearing a Jets T shirt,

174
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: but folks, it feels good to be about. I'm not

175
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna I hear robs snickering.

176
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people out there like Jets.

177
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: Come on, dude. Um So, my daughter had a game,

178
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: a soccer game Sunday during the Jets game, and I

179
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: honestly like thirty minutes leading, I'm I'm like this, this

180
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: is an intense game. I don't know if I can

181
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: tear myself away from Jets Dolphins. Jets facing a third

182
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: string quarterback and go to the soccer game and all

183
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Jets take like a nine point lead.

184
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm all right, I'm on. So I go

185
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: to the game and I'm watching it on the sideline

186
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: and it was tough to contain myself. I'm not gonna lie, guys.

187
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: There was legitimate excitement about the New York Football Jets,

188
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: and and I know you're gonna scoff and be like,

189
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: come on, it's it's just such a weird vibe right

190
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: now because they have so many good young players. I mean,

191
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: Breece Hall the first uh they're they're running back that

192
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: they picked out of Iowa hit a hundred and nineties

193
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: total yards and and the Jets offense is doing something

194
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: different now. Before they used to like alternate Carter, who

195
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: was a good kid last year, and Haul the rookie.

196
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: They would alternate them on the field. They played a

197
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of them together, which kept Miami off balance. They

198
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: didn't know what was coming, and that opened things up

199
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: for Zach Wilson to not only hit the running backs,

200
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: but also to get loose against the Miami secondary that

201
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: was beat up. Now I know there's no Zavian Howard.

202
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: I know Miami was not nearly at full strength. On

203
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: the first offensive snap, Are you ready for this? Sauce

204
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Gardner coming off the edge on a quarterback blitz, which

205
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: is something they had not unleased yet. It was sauce

206
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: Gardner's first blitz. Ridgewater did not see it coming. He

207
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: gets drilled a bit of an elbow issue or shoulder

208
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: and also a little concussion, and you know they're hyper

209
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: vigilant about concussions, and so they would not let bridge

210
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: Water back on the field. So incomes a guy named

211
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson, somebody who had never heard of. I had

212
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: to look this guy up. Apparently he was the seventh

213
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: roundraft pick out of Kansas State, and the Jets all

214
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: they did was just pressure the hell out of him.

215
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 1: He got hit fifteen times. The Jets just buried him.

216
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Only two sacks, but fifteen hits, which had him off

217
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: his game. If not for a good game from Rocky

218
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: most start their running back, the Jets would have won

219
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: by more than twenty three points. Um Zach Wilson good

220
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: but not great, no turnovers, and and the Jets just

221
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: ground them into dust. It was it's this offense is diverse.

222
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: Elijah More one catch, Garrett Wilson three catches, Corey Davis

223
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: to the Jets have weapons they don't have, like an

224
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: A plus, But I think this game meant a lot

225
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: to them. Given the Tyreek hill uh in the off season,

226
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Tyreek call had a chance to go to the Jets

227
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: and he like turned his nose up. I don't want

228
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: to go to the the Jets. I'll go to Miami. And

229
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: he claimed it was because of tax reasons. But the Jets, listen,

230
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: they're not a great franchise. I'm not gonna lie. They

231
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: have a historically been bad, but they lad this wire

232
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: to frigging wire. Now, the Dolphins did have a chance

233
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: in the I think it was early fourth quarter. They

234
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: were setting up to take a field goal. They miss it,

235
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: and after that the floodgates just opened. Jets went touchdown,

236
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: Miami fumble, Jets touchdown, Dolphins stern over on downs, Jets touchdown.

237
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: That's a wrap and the Jets are now tied with

238
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Now, this is gonna be crazy, Rob and

239
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: you're not gonna want to hear this, but if you

240
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: just look at the standings in the A f C.

241
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: Obviously the Buffalo Bills four and one there at the top,

242
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: Casey right there. But the a f C North Baltimore

243
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: three and two, Brown's Bengals two and three. A f

244
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: C South Tennessee, which got so lucky opened the season

245
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: o and two. They got another lucky win Tennessee three

246
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: and two with a minus twenty two point differential. Okay,

247
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: Kansas City three and one, Chargers three and two, Rob,

248
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, we thought the a f

249
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: C was super loaded. The Broncos were gonna be great. Um,

250
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: I see Buffalo, Casey and maybe a lot of mediocrity.

251
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: The Chargers three and two minus fourteen point differential. Now

252
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: they're not healthy, so they're probably the third best team

253
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: in the a f C. But I'll tell you right now.

254
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 1: A month ago, the jet schedule looked brutal. After Miami, right,

255
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: they go to Green Bay all of a sudden, Green Bays, Like, wait,

256
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: he's green Bay? Good? Are they? I don't know? Three

257
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: Bays good? They just blew a seventeen three lead to

258
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, who had a quarterback on one

259
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: ankle go like fifteen for sixteen for on them in

260
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: the second half. What the hell? What's wrong with the

261
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: Packers in this great defense I've lotted their defense. Maybe

262
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: maybe I was wrong and the Packers just aren't good.

263
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Viking clearly the class of the NFC North. But like

264
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: to back to the a f C, like, I don't

265
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: think anybody's afraid of Tennessee. They're not good. The Colts,

266
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: we don't know what the hell they are. Jacksonville's now

267
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: sputtering the last two weeks, and then it's like Ravens.

268
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: Ravens have looked really good. I guess the top four

269
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: teams in the a f C would be Buffalo, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens.

270
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: Seven teams make the playoffs? Are the Jets not one

271
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: of the mix? There are three and two rob Are

272
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: the Jets in the mix for the playoffs? I want

273
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: to hear you say it, uh yeah, because you've got

274
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: to us hurt Bridgewater. You know, we don't know, we

275
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: don't know what's wrong with him, but it's not liking

276
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: too good. Um. Cincinnati looks like they have a little

277
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: bit of that Super Bowl hangover even before last night's game.

278
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: The only thing that I'll push back on you on

279
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: is this idea that the Chargers are one of the

280
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: better teams, and they see did you see what Brandon's

281
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: Daley did this time? I gotta say, let's explain hold

282
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: on so and who didn't see on the podcast? Fourth

283
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: down on their own side of the fifty forty six

284
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: yard line, about a minute left in the game, one

285
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: fourteen left in the game, and uh, the Browns have

286
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: no time outs, and yet Brandon's Daley, big brain Brandon

287
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: decides I'm gonna go for it on fourth down, well,

288
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: because they have no time outs. If you rather than

289
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: punt the ball, it's game over, right if you get

290
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: But if it's pretty much game over, well, wait a second,

291
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: it's fourth and one. You run for two yards or

292
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: whatever it was. Eckler was having a monster game. You've

293
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: got a six ft six quarterback. Can you lean for

294
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: a yard? Maybe it was a yard and a half.

295
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: All you need is one yard? Game over. So from

296
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: just that perspective, but when you factor in your only

297
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: up to exactly and you wrote your side of the field,

298
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, just punt, pitt, punt and pin right now.

299
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: One other thing Rob Chargers special teams historically has been

300
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire, bad snap block, punt return touchdown. A

301
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: lot can go wrong. If you're an NFL offense with

302
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback who's top ten in the league, can

303
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: you get one yard? Should you be able to yes? Now,

304
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: analytics were split. I did see someone posts I don't

305
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: know if you saw it, like there's like four of these,

306
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: like what the percentages they? I guess they have algorithms for, um,

307
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: these fourth down situations. And I as somebody for a

308
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: producer from one of the shows that FS one screen

309
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: grabbed three or four of them, and it was essentially split.

310
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: It was like, well, this one says good decision, this

311
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: one says the only ent answer, chance of winning by

312
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: six percent. This one says bad decision. You know, so

313
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: it was unclear even from the analytics. In my eyes,

314
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: I think you gotta punt and pin no time outs. Um,

315
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: what's his name, Jacoby percent who had just thrown a

316
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: pick and has three picks this season, all in the

317
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: final three minutes of games, Like, I think that would

318
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: have been a w for you would have had to

319
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: get like seventy yards to put you in field goal range, right,

320
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: you would have done what I would have punned. And

321
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, Look, I'm not anti analytics, no matter what

322
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: some people listen to this pod might think. I do

323
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: believe that there is a time and place for for analytics, absolutely,

324
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: but there's also a time and place for common sense.

325
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't care if you know, like you mentioned, the

326
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: analysts were split. If there was analytics that said you

327
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: have a six percent more chance of winning if you

328
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: go for it rather than punning, so I'm gonna mind

329
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: mat me go for it. That doesn't apply in this

330
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: situation because common sense, to your point, Jacoby presents history

331
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: in fourth quarter comebacks, even this season, the likelihood that

332
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to drive, and then what

333
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: made it even worse, Brandon's daily after the game is

334
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: just gassing about it because obviously anyone, if you were

335
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: on Twitter at that point during the game, he was

336
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: getting roasted because if the Brown's kicker doesn't miss a

337
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: relatively easy field goal, or even better, if Jacoby Brissette

338
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: can get more than ten yards of offense after they

339
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: get the turnover, it's a big deal. Right. But here's

340
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: what Brandon says in after the game. We believe in

341
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: our process, we believe in our players on both sides.

342
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: We were coming out here to win this road game,

343
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: not kick it and then go hope to win. I

344
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: believed our defense will get a stop if we didn't

345
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: make it, because I knew that we could cover them.

346
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: So is it that you believe in the process and

347
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, hey, analyx under percent no matter what,

348
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna slide with the analytics, or is it we

349
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: believe in our defense, Because if you believe in your defense,

350
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you just punt it and call it a day.

351
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: That way, Now that's a good point. Um, I'll say this,

352
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 1: speaking of the defense. J C. Jackson, the guy they

353
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: spent all that money on, he got cooked again a

354
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper. He's now, I think, But I think he

355
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: missed a game or two because of injury. But every

356
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: other game I've seen he's given up a touchdown. You

357
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: remember the Thursday night game against Casey, he got beat

358
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: by some rando who I don't even remember the guy's name. Um,

359
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: he listen, he just doesn't look like the same guy.

360
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to make this a thing, but man,

361
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: guys leave the Patriots, these big money free agent guys,

362
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they're like, not great anymore.

363
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: There's such a history of this, absolutely, and outside of

364
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: maybe your guy Revis, who you know is one of

365
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: the elite of the elite all time grades you know

366
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: camp big of the guys like that in recent memory. Historically,

367
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: cornerback is not a position that travels well in free agency.

368
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: And the guy that says out to me, he's but

369
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: blash from the past. If you're a Raiders fan, Namdi awesome,

370
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: wa do you remember him with the Raiders? Arguably the

371
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: greatest cornerback in the league. With the Raiders, there were

372
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: debates about Hammer Revis who was the better guy because

373
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: Revs was getting the interceptions and Namdi wasn't even getting

374
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: thrown at. He was averaging like retargets a game. It

375
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: was something like ridiculous goes to Philadelphia, Eagles, go to

376
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and his skill set and the scheme they

377
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: ran in Oakland did not match at all with what

378
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: they were doing in Philadelphia. And so I think you're

379
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: seeing j. C. Jackson is just the latest guy to

380
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: your point. New England has its own situation. But just

381
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: because you're good in this system doesn't mean you're gonna

382
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: be good in another system. And I think j C. Jackson.

383
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: It's is the latest guy to prove that point. There

384
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: was also some that's a great poll on Nambie by

385
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: the way, I think there was something about his age,

386
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: like corner he was one of these guys were like

387
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: when a quarterback hits thirty one, forget about it. They

388
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: just all of a sudden stink um or thirty years old,

389
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: something like that. But J. C. Jackson's had a rough

390
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: goat bottom line, Chargers, get the dub and listen, they're

391
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: not at full strength. Um. Once they get to full strength,

392
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: I think you're looking at a major problem because they've

393
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: unlocked the running game with Heckler Keenan Allen will be

394
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: ac um at some point, I guess from the hamstring.

395
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: And and did they get a little fortunate that the kid, uh,

396
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: the kid they drafted Kad York. He hit the fifty

397
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: eight yard game winner in the opener against Carolina. He

398
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: missed two kicks on Sunday. I think he missed an

399
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: extra point against the Jets in that loss when they

400
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: lost by one. It's been a rough go for the kid. Uh.

401
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's like welcome to the league. You could

402
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: no go nowhere but down and um that's a tough

403
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: one for the Browns. By the way, it's not really

404
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: a trade that matters that much, but they made a

405
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: trade yesterday late for Dion Jones, the linebacker from Atlanta. Now, listen,

406
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: Dion Jones was I think when he first came out,

407
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: he was phenomenal, and then he got a couple of injuries.

408
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: I think back to back seasons, he missed a ton

409
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: of games because of surgery, and I don't know if

410
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: he was the same guy. And you know, he wants

411
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: to get paid like he's a star. He's going to

412
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland because they have no run defense at all. And

413
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But the Browns basically are saying

414
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: we're not punting on this season. We're gonna hold it

415
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: down until the Shawn Watson comes back. We'll see how

416
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: that works out. But bottom line is robbed the Jets

417
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: firmly in the a f C wild Card race. Yeah,

418
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: it's only five games, it's only five, but the Jets

419
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: are there. And you know, if you look at Miami

420
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: re member, they started three and oh there now two

421
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: losses in a row. Fox Sports Radio has the best

Speaker 1: I gotta give it to my guy, Bernie Frado, straight

426
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: out of Vegas from the weekend on Fox Sports Radio.

427
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: He had a great tweet about Mike McDaniel and how

428
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, you know, first few weeks of the season

429
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: was on Cloud nine. They're winning. He's all excited, he's happy,

430
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: smiling at press conferences. Did you happen to see Rob

431
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: how beaten down and weathered he looked these last couple

432
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: of weeks, Man have been just so brutal since that

433
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo victory, So it was like they won that battle

434
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: against Buffalo, but they lost the war, and they are

435
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: a mass unit right now. Their left tackle left the

436
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: game against the Jets. Their top cornerbacks out there, number

437
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: tw cornerbacks out. Um, they are walking wounded third string quarterback.

438
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: They have the Vikings this week. Now it's at home, outdoors,

439
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: so maybe they get healthy and slow down the bikes.

440
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Speaking of winning the battle losing

441
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: the war worth keeping an eye on the forty Niners, Rob,

442
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: did you see what happened in the in their game

443
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: against Caroline. I mean, then listen, they murdered the Panthers.

444
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is probably on his way out of the league.

445
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: It's funny we talked about this. I saw you excerpt

446
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: part of it on on social media. Rob Baker. I

447
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: don't think Baker's in the league to start next season. Honestly,

448
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. Um, there's gonna be a new

449
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: coach in Carolina. Matt rule is toast, whether it's an

450
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: now or later. Caroline is awful, but the forty Niners

451
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: lose Boasta to a groin injury. He led the league

452
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: in pressures and sacks. They already were missing Armstead kin

453
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: Law was banged up. So like their Their defensive line

454
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: depth has been so awesome and now they're just I

455
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: think they're down three guys on the defensive line. Plus

456
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: there's there Um. I don't know if he's a I

457
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: think quarterback mostly Where is the safety? Um? He had

458
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: to pick six against Baker. Look like tours a c L.

459
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: It's safety, look like he tours a c L. Late

460
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: in the game, he was down. I think I think

461
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: they carded him off. It's it didn't look good. I

462
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: saw a stat where they were. They were down by

463
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: the end of that game seven defensive starters. Okay, now

464
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: they're staying on the West coast. I'm sorry they're staying

465
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: forts are staying on the East coast because they've done

466
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: this in the past, where they have an East Coast game,

467
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: they boat race someone and then they stay in. I

468
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: think it's the Greenbrier in West Virginia is like their

469
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: go to. Why do I know this because I do

470
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: way too much gambling nonsense and track this stuff every year,

471
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: and this week they stay on the East Coast and

472
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: they're gonna be walking majorly wounded into this game. I

473
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: gotta see who they play. Um. They they play the Falcons,

474
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: and we know the Falcons are a cover machine. But

475
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons are without Pits, Falcons without Cordarell Patterson. Um

476
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: I think if the forty Niners can win that and

477
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: get to four and too, I don't see who catches

478
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: him in the NFC West rob Because the team we're

479
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: gonna finally talk about right now, the l A. Rams.

480
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: They look pretty putrid and folks, I know the Rams

481
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: were the sharp play on Sunday and the public was

482
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: all over Dallas, but I said it on Friday's podcast.

483
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: When you look at the xs and ohs, I don't

484
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: think you can bet the Rams when they step up

485
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: in class against a good defense. Matt Stafford is on

486
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: his ass all game long sax seven times against Buffalo Sex,

487
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: seven times. Last week against the Niners. I think he

488
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: was dropped five times against Dallas. Cowboys hit him eleven times.

489
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know that anybody else noticed this, and

490
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm probably patting myself on the back too much, but

491
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: rob the sign of desperation from a McVeigh team. Besides

492
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. They had Cooper Cup attempt to pass and

493
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: they dipped into the fake punt because their special teams

494
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: have been a liability this year. Okay, that to me

495
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: is a sign of desper race. That's not in mcveigh's DNA.

496
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: He's got He's just a great play caller. They have

497
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: one touchdown in the last nine quarters of football. Now,

498
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: I know it's against the FOURT Niners defense and the

499
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense, but the Rams offensive line is crumbling. And

500
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: you know, one of the big things is, you know,

501
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: is Michael Parsons the next Lawrence Taylor. And I know

502
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: that sounds a little cheap and over over the top.

503
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: Come on, he's not Lawrence Taylor. So Michael Parsons do

504
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: you see him on the sideline. He's got a growing injury.

505
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: He's like stretching it out on the on the on

506
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: the bike like. Oh man, Michael Parsons out. That's it's

507
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: great news for the Rams. Oh Michael Parsons came back in.

508
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: Uh ye had two sacks, three quarterback hits, tackle for loss, force, fumble.

509
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: Me he lives in the backfield. Nobody can block this guy.

510
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: And listen, we I know Chiefs and Bills are gonna

511
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: be a big talking point all week, but this Cowboys

512
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: Eagles game on Sunday Night Football, He's gonna be pretty phenomenal.

513
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: And I'm not a buy into the Cooper rush quarterback controversy. Junk.

514
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: He's four o against the spread, four nos straight up

515
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: as the start of the season. And the other side

516
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: of that coin is he had ten completions for a

517
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: hundred and two yards against the Rams. You know they

518
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: have a scoop and score. When Stafford fumbles to start

519
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: the game, I think it was either block pund or

520
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: block field goal later that resulted in Dallas going down

521
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: the field and scoring. I mean that you can't score

522
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: on Dallas and when the Rams play good teams, they

523
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: are struggling. And Rob I filled in for Cowherd on

524
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: his radio show Radio Only before the season, and Ryan Music,

525
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: who's the producer on The Herd who used to produce

526
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: my weekend show. Rob knows him what you know. We're

527
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: talking on my drive in and he's like, well, what

528
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: what topics do you want to do? And I tell him,

529
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, guys, I did a lot of digging into

530
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: the Rams last night, and um, they have the toughest

531
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: schedule in the league this year and given the loss

532
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: of Whitworth and oh b J, and I know they

533
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: got Allen Robinson, let's see about the defense. Like there's

534
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: a very real scenario where the Rams and missed the playoffs.

535
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: And he like, it's like, I don't know if we

536
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: should even do that. Come on, dude, that's that's that's

537
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: too hot take. I'm like, listen, I'm I'm just being

538
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: honest with you. This team could struggle. Now. I didn't

539
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: think they'd be this bad where they can't even block

540
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: for Stafford to the point where Rob g now is

541
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: telling me Ja Stafford or golf, and it's like, listen,

542
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm not willing to go there. Okay, we just saw golf.

543
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: The Lions had the number one scoring offense in the league.

544
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: This was the game that won me a lot of

545
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: money over the weekend. It was a very good weekend

546
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: for me, pro and college gambling. Um, but I said

547
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots would just stomped the Lions like we've seen

548
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: Belichick choke out bad quarterbacks. And I don't care what

549
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: golf does against the frigging Falcons. I don't care what

550
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: golf puts up against the Seahawks. Belichick in that defense

551
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: is gonna kill destroy the kid and Bailey Zappy or

552
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: whoever is that quarterback. Patriots are gonna be fine. And

553
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots steamrolled the Lions. They could do nothing right offensively.

554
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: Dan desperate Dan Campbell went for on fourth down six

555
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: times six and was over six and on one of them.

556
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: Golf is like discombobulated by what the defense shows him.

557
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: He starts scrambling, he gets decked, scoop and score. Um

558
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: this goff stuff, guys, Like, I know he's put up

559
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: good numbers indoors this year. Um, he did not have

560
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: amurass Brown, DJ Shark was out. DeAndre Swift I think

561
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: was out. We need to settle down on this early

562
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: season golf stuff. Stafford delivered in the playoffs last year,

563
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: three straight games, game winning drives for him all the time.

564
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: He's got a way better arm. He just doesn't have

565
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: an offensive line this year. And I know Rob wants

566
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: to come after Stafford, and that's fine. He has not

567
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: played well at all this year, no denying it. Super

568
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: Bowl hangover is real. I know people hate when you

569
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: say Super Bowl hangover, but they do not look remotely

570
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 1: close to the team we saw in the playoffs last year.

571
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: But I'll say Rob, I I think they were seven

572
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: and five at one point last year before they turned

573
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: it on, figured some stuff out and window got hot

574
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Next up for them as Carolina. That's

575
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: a win. Caroline is in disarray. Then they get a bye.

576
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: Let's see if the offensive line could get healthy coming

577
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: out of that bike. Because they have a huge game

578
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: against San fran at so FI. Huge. Can't lose that game,

579
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: can't be oh down O two to the Niners. They'll

580
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: run away with the division. Seahawks stink Arizona. I don't

581
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: even know if he'll get to them. But Rob I

582
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: ain't selling by Matt Stafford. Stop he need As McVeigh

583
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: said after the game, Matt Stafford needs help. Allen Robertson

584
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: still can't get open the offensive line camp block, and

585
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, something happens to Cooper Cup.

586
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: This is like a five win team. I hate everything

587
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: you just said. Look, Matthew Stafford has a Super Bowl.

588
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: He went on a tremendous run there at the end

589
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: of last season, but more we see him play the

590
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: end of last regular season the start of this regular season,

591
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: that playoff run is looking very Joe flac O esque. Okay,

592
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge Pro Football Focus guy. I know

593
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: you are. You reference it all the time, especially as

594
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: it relates to gambling. According to prof Pro Football Focus,

595
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: this is before Week five, so it's obviously gotten worse

596
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: since then, because uh shout out to Matthew Stafford, who

597
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: had three more turnovers on Sunday. But according to Pro

598
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: Football Focus, as it relates to past blocking versus efficiency,

599
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: which means depending how well or not well your offensive

600
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: line pass blocks, it's gonna determine and your relative expected

601
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: points added per play. So can you produce or how

602
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: you produce excuse me, when the lion play is good,

603
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: when the line play is poor. If you look at

604
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: this graph and it's Pro Football Focuses, Ben Baldin put

605
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: it out, Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff. When the offensive

606
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: line play is good as it was last season for

607
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: the Rams, and as it was in previous season with

608
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: a round Jared Goff was there. And when it's bad

609
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: this year, as it is now in Los Angeles, and

610
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: it's also bad this year according to them in Detroit.

611
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: Goff and Stafford the exact same quarterback. In fact, according

612
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus, with a similarly graded offensive line

613
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: this season, both of them in the fifties. Right around fifty.

614
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's e p A is more than double Matthew Stafford's.

615
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: That was expected points added. Matthew Stafford is who we

616
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: always thought he was, uber talented, just missing a little something.

617
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: Cat stops turning the ball over, finds ways to make

618
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: the Jim Garoppolo esque throws at least once a game,

619
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: whether it gets intercepted or not. In this case, the

620
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: last you know, nine games, I guess you can say

621
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: it's it's well, it's luck that he that he has.

622
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: Let me count the numbers here, do do Do? Do Do?

623
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: Do? Do Do Do do do? Thirteen touchdowns and fifteen interceptions his

624
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: last nine regular season games, or if you want to

625
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: include the playoffs, twenty two touchdowns and eighteen interceptions. So

626
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: even with that Joe Flacco esque run in the playoffs,

627
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: he is a one to one basically interception to touchdown

628
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: ratio guy. And what bothers me more than anything is

629
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: anything that you said. Is that Sean McVeigh said. Sean

630
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: McVeigh says, you brought it up. We need to help

631
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: out Matthew Stafford. No, Matthew Stafford needs to help himself.

632
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford needs to realize that Alan Robinson has never

633
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: been a separation wide receiver. That's not his game. It's

634
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: never been his game. He's a possession, big body, So

635
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: let me just put it on him every once in

636
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: a while to get him involved. So not so we're

637
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: not spending twenty plus million dollars a year on a

638
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: run blocking wide receiver. You know what, Yeah, Cooper Cup

639
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: is awesome, but maybe let's, you know, get the other

640
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: guys involved a little bit so that Cup is not

641
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: facing double and triple coverage all the time, so I'm

642
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: not forced to jam it into him every other play,

643
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: and it's leading to me throw him in receptions. Matthew Stafford,

644
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is not doing himself any favors with the

645
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: way he plays football. And because he had that run

646
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: last season in the playoffs, he thinks, for whatever reason,

647
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: that he doesn't have to adjust, that he can hold

648
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit longer that he can, you know,

649
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: try to make these superman no look passes when the

650
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: fact remains he's not even performing well in the most basic,

651
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: clean environment possible, Like if you need to have a

652
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: clean pocket for you to be successful. Are you really

653
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: better than Jared Goff? Are you really better than Baker Mayfield?

654
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: Like really better than some of these lower level quarterbacks,

655
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: Because if that's the case, then why do they give

656
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: them that massive contract extension They pay you because you

657
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: should be able to elevate a poor offensive line, a

658
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: lack of a second dairy, receive root and create separation,

659
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: a defense that's got stars, but it's not really performing

660
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: at the level you expect. That's what you pay him for.

661
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: So if I'm the Rams, You've got to feel extremely

662
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: disappointed and what you've been getting from uh Matthew Stafford.

663
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: I don't think that there's any way they're gonna turned

664
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: around this season. This might be a lost cause for them. Okay,

665
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: I will agree Stafford has not been good this year.

666
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: The reason they got away from Jared Goth was because

667
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: he was so limited in the regular season. Could he

668
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: put up big numbers? Yeah, he put up Remember that

669
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs some Mondon at football. He looked

670
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: like a franchise quarterback. He got franchise quarterback money. Regular season,

671
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: he put up numbers. You gotta go outside in the

672
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: playoffs and win. And we saw how limited he was.

673
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: There was a game shucks. I think it might have

674
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: been in Seattle where golf was like kind of hurt

675
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: and they weren't sure if he was gonna be the guy,

676
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: and they went with the backup quarterback. I've already forgotten

677
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: a guy's name, Wolford. Wolford, John John Wolford. He had

678
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: such little confidence in golf, not that he started Wolford

679
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: and they won. And I remember because I bet the game.

680
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: I every time I look at golf, I just think

681
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: cannot come through in the clutch and win the big game.

682
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: We and I know that's you know, that's not analytical,

683
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: and you can't put a number on that. But Stafford,

684
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: in three straight playoff games, delivered as a clutch quarterback

685
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl, no bigger spotlight, no look throw gate, wouldn't

686
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: touchdown drive in Tampa, choked away a huge lead bomb

687
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: to Cooper Cup like one of the great throws of

688
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: last season. And then at the end of the title game,

689
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: struggling against the Niners, don't destroying McVeigh, Stafford throws that

690
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: bomb that should have been picked off, dropping, given a second,

691
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: given a second lease on life. What happened Stafford cup buckets?

692
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: It was like automatic listen, I know, and it's weird.

693
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: We're five games in and you know, people very out

694
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: on um certain dudes who were struggling. I don't know

695
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: where's his venom for Joe Burrow, but where you got

696
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: on Joe Burrows is he heard it? Because the Bengals

697
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: are twing three and defensive adjusted on Joe Burrow. I

698
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you've noticed this, but every time they

699
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: would show a Miami I'm sorry, not a Miami Joe

700
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: Burrow replay against um Lamar on Sunday night, football when

701
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: they had the view from behind the offense, Burrow was

702
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: facing the two high shell. He cannot. He just has

703
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: not adjusted his five games in everybody's doing the move,

704
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: same thing they did to Confound Mahomes last year. Burrows

705
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: not adjusting. And I know they got the big win

706
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: over Miami. WHOOPI damn do. Miami was an awful spot.

707
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: Everybody in their mom knew that was a win. But

708
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: you look at the big plays last year to Jamaar Chase,

709
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: it was he was just cooking everybody. Burrow had over

710
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: nine yards passing against Baltimore. When you are go from

711
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: being the hunter to being the hunted, it's a totally

712
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: different situation there. Adjusting to Borrow. My son has him

713
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: in fantasy. So we watched every play of the game.

714
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: They had one play, one explosive play over twenty yards

715
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: and it was just some guy I've never heard of.

716
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: I think it was his first catch of the season.

717
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: Uh Mike Thomas. He had like a he had a

718
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: bomb down the sideline. Other than that, everything stays in front.

719
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase can't get loose. Um Tee Higgins. I don't

720
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: even know if he played. I don't think he played

721
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: that he didn't have a catch Tyler Boyd in the slot.

722
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: Like teams have adjusted to Burrow, He's not playing well.

723
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: Teams of a justice to Stafford realized that oh Rams

724
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: and have an offensive line. Let's just bring the house

725
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: and Stafford's a sitting duck because only Cooper Cup can

726
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: get open. And I mean, I'm gonna defend Stafford. I

727
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: know I took heat when I said he's a Hall

728
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: of Famer, and I think Rob gave me static, But

729
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: I just I'm not selling Stafford yet. Rams. Overall, Yes, Stafford, No, Um,

730
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: anything else you want to touch on, Rob. To wrap up,

731
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: I do have a couple other points. We're gonna we're

732
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna save the Jordan Pool Draymond stuff because this NFL

733
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: one day we I've got plenty more on that. Um

734
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: and Jordan Pool awesome. One of the best NBA preseason

735
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: moves I've ever seen in my life. Rob laughing on

736
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 1: Sunday night, this is ridiculous. Jordan pools my guy. Um,

737
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: let's see here. Saint Scott is a good cover. Taysom Hill.

738
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: That experience was was something, Um, I don't I don't

739
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: really want to get into Carson Wentz. I think he's

740
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: gonna get benched so we'll be able to do a show.

741
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna kill Kyler Murray for the two slides.

742
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: Like they were big underdogs, they came back and falled hard,

743
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: Like wait till they get new Copkins, then let's start

744
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: judging them. Um. And the Sunday night football game wasn't great.

745
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: But one quick note on that rub So we've seen

746
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: Harriball I think three times in the last two years

747
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: try to be the analytics darling and go for it

748
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: on fourth down. And I think they've lost two of

749
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: those three games where they made that decision. One was

750
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: against the Bills. Did you see a change in hardball?

751
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: Against the Bengals, they had fourth and one inside i

752
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: think the seven yard line and they're up thirteen ten,

753
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: and they brought out Justin Tucker and you're like, well,

754
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: that's smart as ship because he's automatic. That's a chip shot.

755
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: It's essentially an NBA lay up where there's no defense

756
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: and it's one on what that's how good Tucker is.

757
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: And so now you're up sixteen ten and you're like,

758
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, they score a touchdown even if they

759
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: go for two, which they wouldn't because they just want

760
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: to go up seven. We have Justin Tucker. We just

761
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: need to get around like the thirty five yard line,

762
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: and he's automatic. And I do wonder to bring it

763
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: back to your Staley stuff. Historically, the Charger's kicking game

764
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: has been garbage special teams. In Nightmare, Baltimore has Justin

765
00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: Tucker and Rob. I think Baltimore played it smarter this week. Now, again,

766
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: it's a different story when you're against Buffalo and your

767
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: chance to go up three and they could go down

768
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: and win it with a touchdown. Slightly different. At least,

769
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 1: I think Harriball made the right decision. I'm sure there's

770
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: some analytics guys getting trying to blast him, guys who

771
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: were like looking at the wind percentages. I don't know

772
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: what do you think of that? Called by Horrible. I

773
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: loved it personally. I thought it was genius. Well, you know,

774
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: as genius says, it can be to settle for a

775
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: field goal, just because at that point of the game,

776
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: and it goes back to the common sense factor. I'm

777
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: sure analytically it's going to tell you to go for it.

778
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: You know. I'm almost positive and I don't haven't done

779
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: the research myself, but I'm almost positive it was gonna

780
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: tell you when it's fourth and one and you're that

781
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: deep into the opposed in red zone that it's all

782
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: in your favor. But to that point, Cincinnati hadn't done

783
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: much in the second half. You're you're they've only scored

784
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: ten points the entire game. Why not take the three,

785
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: make it so they have to score a touchdown if

786
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: they're going to tie you, rather than risk going for

787
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: it failing, and suddenly a field goal is all they need.

788
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: The common sense factor again tells you they're not performing

789
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: that well offensively. Joe Burrow in this cover to shell

790
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: is not really carving us up. Take the points you think.

791
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to seal it anyways right there.

792
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: They didn't. Ultimately had to do it again. But I

793
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: thought that was the smart play. And I think once

794
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: more teams start using analytics as a tool instead of

795
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: as a rule, you're gonna see a lot more situations

796
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 1: like this. Yeah, it's good stuff from Harball. Didn't cover

797
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: did get the whim, but did not cover spread. Fox

802
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: best bet on Monday Night Football, I just have to

803
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: mention something that happened in the baseball postseason um in

804
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: that Mets Padres games. First of all, you gotta feel

805
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: for Mets fans, Rob. I think they led to division

806
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: for like a hundred and seventy days or something insane.

807
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: They lose the division like late in the season, second

808
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: last weekend or whatever it was against the Brace. They

809
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: have to face the Padres and they get dusted in three. Now,

810
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: nobody really cares about that. But in game three now,

811
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if Rob was watching, I had it

812
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: on TV two. I was watching NFL on TV one.

813
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: This this picture must Grove for the Padres was lights out.

814
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: He basically threw a one hitter at them. I think

815
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: they had they brought in some guy to clean up

816
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: the game. At the end, he's embarrassing the Mets offensively.

817
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: Buck show Walter, the general the manager of the of

818
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: the Mets, tells the umpires, I want to check him

819
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: for cheating. I think in the sixth in the middle

820
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: of the game. So they stopped the game. The umpire

821
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: goes out to the mound to the kid must Grove

822
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: and it's like, yo, we gotta check you for cheating. Now,

823
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: I didn't have the volume on, and must Grove essentially

824
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: gets his ears rubbed by the umpire to check for

825
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: some weird substance that's illegal. And at this point I

826
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: mute the NFL game and I turned on the volume

827
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what is going on? Why are they

828
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: rubbing this guy's ear? Is he cheated? Now? His ears

829
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: looked a little shiny, but I've never seen that in

830
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: my life, and I'm so. I go on social media

831
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: to see what on earth they're talking about, and everybody

832
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: has an opinion. Oh, he's definitely cheating. He's got icy

833
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: hot on his ear. Well, they determined there was nothing.

834
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: He ends up must Grove striking out the next batter

835
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: and then takes his two fingers, rubs them under his

836
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: nose and looks at the met stuck out. That was

837
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: awesome stuff that I listen. I didn't watch a ton

838
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: of MLB postseason yet. I will started Tuesday. By the way, Rob,

839
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 1: did you see that Monday Night for Monday Night football

840
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: is obviously tonight Tuesday. MLB said we would rather have

841
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: four games on Tuesday than go up against the NFL.

842
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: So there's second round of the playoffs and they said, okay,

843
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: let's we'll just trot out every game on Tuesday. Interesting stuff.

844
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: But did you happen to see the Padres picture and

845
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: did you have thoughts on that? I saw it on

846
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: social media, and at the time, I didn't know the

847
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 1: full context of the video. I just saw the video

848
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: before I saw what was going on. I'm like, why

849
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: is he rubbing his ear? It's kind of random. And

850
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: to your point, though, is enough people were retweeting a

851
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: few things under my feet And it was Andrew McCutcheon

852
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: who said that, um, he guaranteed that Musgrow has something

853
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: called red hot on his ears, which, to your point

854
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: is kind of like icy hot. And he said that

855
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: pictures for whatever reason, because he says it burns like crazy.

856
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: They use it as a mechanism to help them stay

857
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: quote unquote locked in during games. So I guess you're

858
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: you're so uncomfortable that you have no choice put to focus.

859
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. Get about riddling or adderall, yeah,

860
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: put it on your ears, right. I've never heard that,

861
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: but again, I'm not in the baseball cheating circles. It

862
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: comes back to you guys, know Wilbon and Kornheiser, guys

863
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: I looked up to reading it in the Washington Post

864
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: back in the day. Mike Wilbon had a great line

865
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: about the cheating culture in baseball, and I don't know, Rob,

866
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: is your guest that he was he had something, he

867
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: was something was going on. You think nothing. Now they

868
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: found nothing, But you know, these guys are just can

869
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 1: disguise it. I know nothing. I'm not accusing must Grove.

870
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: I just thought it was one of the most fascinating

871
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: viewing moments in the MLB playoffs in a while. It's

872
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: just tremendous um before we get to Monday night football

873
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: bets bets, Rob, I totally forgot. I have in my

874
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: notes here. I got three texts from three different buddies.

875
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: You have to kill the refs for the Tom Brady

876
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: flag and that that was when you say there's any

877
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: one thing that I was gonna get to. That was

878
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: my one thing. I don't want to litigate it, but yeah,

879
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: that's my one thing. I was on the bucks. I

880
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: had bet them. I was they were up twenty one

881
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: nothing with fourteen minutes left in the game. I thought

882
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: it was Locks City and they stopped playing. They just

883
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: gave up on offense and Falcons garbage time, two drives

884
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: for scores. At this point, there's like three minutes left

885
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, jeeze, can Atlanta win? They just

886
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: just stopped, so third down here we go. I don't

887
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: I think it was a Grady Jarrett. Grady Jarrett, the

888
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: great defensive lineman of the of the Falcons, almost an

889
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: untouched like, did like a stunt around and basically collects

890
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 1: Brady by the waist and flings him down. It looked

891
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: like a great play. Holy cow, Tampa's got a punt

892
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: ref right on top of it, throws a flag and

893
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: it's like unnecessary flinging. That's obviously not the term. I'm

894
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: just saying that, but rob My first thought when I

895
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: saw the highlight was wow, that looks like a carbon

896
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: copy of toa basically getting thrown to a turf on

897
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: Thursday night football and being stretchered off. Now, Brady, luckily,

898
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: if you see the replay in slow motion, his arm

899
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: gets down before his head because his head was going

900
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: to hit the ground hard Mike Evans. His head hit

901
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: the ground earlier the game. He had to leave for

902
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: a couple of plays, came back, he was fine. But

903
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: if Brady's head hits and he's knocked out, rob, what's

904
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 1: the reaction about the NFL and football in general in America.

905
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 1: It's one thing when two goes down and the NFL

906
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: has to trot their chief medical officer on CNN and

907
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: all these shows to defend the NFL. If that were

908
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, oh my gosh, that's like a def Con

909
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: one in the NFL. Tom Brady at five gets flung

910
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: down and he's done. Now again, that's one way to

911
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 1: look at it. The other is, well, what is the

912
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: defender supposed to do if you try to wrap up

913
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: like quarterbacks in the league and you let go while

914
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: flinging him down, Hello, the guy is probably gonna escape, Like,

915
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: can't do that. You can't let go o Lamar Jackson

916
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: or Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen And then well it's Tom Brady.

917
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: You can let go. He's not gonna run anywhere. I

918
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: don't know that. You're a defensive tackle trying to make

919
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: a big play to force a punt. I don't like

920
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: the flag, but I understand it. Is that a cop out? Rob? Yeah? Yeah,

921
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: So you're not allowed to have nuance conversations about things

922
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: like that. Brady did throw a kick at the guy, um,

923
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady said after the game basically said it

924
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: was a bump call himself, Oh he did. They asked him, Hey,

925
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on He's like, I don't throw

926
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: the flags, So what do you're what do you're that?

927
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: You know, nonchalant vega about it. I think even he

928
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: knows he got away with one. They were fortunate there. Um,

929
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: But what is the NFL supposed to do? What do

930
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: they instruct refs? The number one thing you've got to

931
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 1: protect the quarterbacks. They make the most money. They are

932
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: the most marketable. That if you look at who's playing

933
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: in primetime games on Sunday and Monday, it's good quarterbacks

934
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: because people want to see the ain't Nobody want to

935
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: see whoever the backup is on the bucks. I don't

936
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: know who it is? Is it? UM's it Kyle Trask? Trash,

937
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 1: that's the guy that it might be. Nobody wants to see. Contrast,

938
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 1: nobody wants to see Cooper Rush. Nobody wants to see

939
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson of Miami The Monday. The Thursday night game

940
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: this week is as bad as it gets robbed. It's

941
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: I believe Bears Washington Justin Fields, Carson Wentz. It is

942
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: as ugly as it gets it. By the way, shout

943
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: out to al Michaels who called Sunday Night football getting

944
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: the best games in the NFL for years and now

945
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: he gets Broncos Colts was just an embarrassment on paper,

946
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: look good before the season. As the season progresses, both

947
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: those teams aren't watchable and no cap As my son

948
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: likes to say, Bears Washington is unwatchable. You can't watch

949
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: that game anyways. Al Michaels goes from great Sunday games

950
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: now Thursday games, which by and larger crappy. Right. I

951
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: think we can agree on that. They're just it's just

952
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 1: not great now. I like them. I'm not complaining gambling

953
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: fantasy blah blah blah. But anyways, um rob any final

954
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: thoughts before we get to the best bet with your

955
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 1: raiders h Shout out to the u c l A Bruins.

956
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, best team in Los Angeles? Oh shots fired?

957
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: Well they might be if if you talk beat USC

958
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: this week. Then the USC opened up as a two

959
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 1: and a half point dogs, super overrated US. The Lincoln

960
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: Riley Kayla Williams thing is as kind of jumped the

961
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: shark a little. I'm no comment on that for now.

962
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: Okay um, I think I'll have me on this game.

963
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: I did give out on the Herd. It's weird, Rob.

964
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: A lot of people are are watching the Herd and

965
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: being like, dude, these picts you're making. Like I called

966
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: U c l A out right against Washington. I called

967
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: U c l A out right against Utah. I bet

968
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: them myself. So like the viewers like it, I'm kind

969
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: of torn on this U U s E. You talk

970
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: game because like you watch it, you talk game like.

971
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: It's one thing to like be looking ahead the next week.

972
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: It's another to give up. What do they give up?

973
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: Forty two points like that? That's really bad. Now, Winningham

974
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: is a very good coach, so he will be hell

975
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: he'll have them locked in. But we'll do more on

976
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: that this week. The only thing better than sitting on

977
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: your couch watching the game, he's making money while he's doing.

978
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: Here's your best bat. So let's get to Monday night football.

979
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: Chief's right as Rob G's right as Um, I don't know.

980
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: My inclination is seven just feels too high. It's a

981
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: big number. Man, I've seen so many bad, mediocre teams

982
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: come in the back door. Where's the game? The game

983
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: is in Kansas City outdoors. First look at Davante Adams

984
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: versus the chief secondary. Um mm hmm. I guess here's

985
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: what I would do. I would people are not gonna

986
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: like this. I think my smart bet on tonight's game

987
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: would be teasing Kansas City down to one and tease

988
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: the total down to over forty five and a half.

989
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,280
Speaker 1: I think they'll be points. You right, Raiders defense, everybody's

990
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: torched him. Kansas City's defense can be suss and if

991
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: memory serves, Cars had some pretty good games against Casey No.

992
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: So I would go Kansas teaser. Kansas City minus one,

993
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: uh total over forty five and a half, so he's

994
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: six point teaser. I think we're gonna see points. I

995
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: don't see how the Chiefs don't score thirty one, right,

996
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: and at that point they're getting thirty one all the

997
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: Raiders due is like seventeen and you're good. Um, I

998
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 1: don't see away Kansas City loses this game unless they're

999
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: looking ahead to Buffalo, which just choked out Pittsburgh. And

1000
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Chiefs were watching that game closely, so

1001
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: I can see the rate is hanging around. But I

1002
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: don't see Kansas City losing this game. But the other

1003
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: factor is special teams for Ksey. Oh my gosh, it

1004
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: is bad. Already cost him one game against Indie Rob.

1005
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: I like Kansas City you. I think this is one

1006
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: of those games where if you listen to our our podcast,

1007
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: a lot of the guests we have on they always

1008
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: say shop around, don't don't just take like the first

1009
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: odds that you see. And I'm looking here on Vegas Insider,

1010
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,919
Speaker 1: which is where we had our last guests from, and

1011
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: there's place I've see seven seven and a half in

1012
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: certain places. I don't like this game at seven, but

1013
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: if you give me seven and a half, I'm taking

1014
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: the Raiders all day long. So I think this is

1015
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: when you shop around, you look for the best possible price.

1016
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: You might even see you know, because the Chiefs are

1017
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,959
Speaker 1: a very public team, you might see this maybe even

1018
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: creep up to eight if you're lucky at some of

1019
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: these online sports books, especially, So give me the Raiders

1020
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: plus the seven and a half. But to your point,

1021
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: I think Kansas City win to this one for sure.

1022
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: All right, we can wrap up with this, Rob, So

1023
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: in the Survivor pool. Remember last year it was eight

1024
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: six th dollars and I came really close. I think

1025
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: I was one of the nine finalists who just missed out. Um,

1026
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: it's over twenty people in this pool. We're down to

1027
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:17,479
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety five. Rob. I can't tell you

1028
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: how many people took Jacksonville Jacksonville trying to outthink the room.

1029
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people lost on Green Bay, but a

1030
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: lot of people said, oh, you know what I can.

1031
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 1: I can save a team and take Jacksonville. Well, everybody

1032
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: who's saving Buffalo. Yet, what are you gonna do? Now?

1033
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: It's like the coach who doesn't use his time outs

1034
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: and the game ends and he could have used him.

1035
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: You could take your time outs and cut it with

1036
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: them at night, hide him under your pillow and cry

1037
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: into your pillow because you thought tried to outthink the

1038
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 1: room and take freaking Jacksonville. That is insane. It's way

1039
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: too early to overthink that. And now this has become

1040
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: a very long podcast. UM, enjoy the game tonight. I

1041
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a spicy week. I'll talk to

1042
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: you later, she
