WEBVTT - Not So Fast Episode 14 0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:05.220 Welcome to Not So Fast with Andrew Perloff and Paul Patz, 0:00:05.460 --> 0:00:08.740 where two longtime friends challenge each other on the biggest 0:00:08.780 --> 0:00:09.959 sports stories. 0:00:09.619 --> 0:00:10.080 Of the day. 0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:14.650 Here's Andrew Perloff and Paul Patz. Not so fast, my friends. 0:00:16.700 --> 0:00:18.900 Welcome to Not So Fast. I'm Andrew Perloff. 0:00:18.980 --> 0:00:21.739 He is Paul Paps. NFL Week 2 is almost in 0:00:21.780 --> 0:00:23.340 the books. Paul, what do we got cooking? 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.279 Bonus coverage today. Peter Burns from the SEC Network, the 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.290 anchor down there. He's going to get us recapped Ole Miss, LSU, 0:00:29.330 --> 0:00:31.710 and the whole week forward for SEC and college football. 0:00:31.730 --> 0:00:33.450 All right. I want to start. 0:00:33.810 --> 0:00:38.440 Three minutes, 11 seconds left in overtime. Colts, Chiefs. Colts 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.000 face fourth and eight and decide to go for the 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.820 field goal. Paul, what was your reaction to this key 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:45.459 play in the game? 0:00:45.500 --> 0:00:46.979 Well, it looked like they're going for it. They kind 0:00:47.020 --> 0:00:49.229 of pump fake us, the fans and the Colts fans 0:00:49.270 --> 0:00:51.230 at home. I see them setting up like great for 0:00:51.250 --> 0:00:54.630 the Colts. Try to steal this win. National TV. You've 0:00:54.670 --> 0:00:56.370 had a bad run of it the past few months 0:00:56.390 --> 0:00:58.870 of last year. Daniel Jones is there. And then they 0:00:58.910 --> 0:01:01.320 wave it off like. They didn't see the right setup. 0:01:01.500 --> 0:01:03.480 Can't you have two plays called? And you have to 0:01:03.500 --> 0:01:05.899 think to yourself, if we don't try for this play, 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.340 Patrick Mahomes gets the ball back if we get a 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.860 field goal. He has to go 30 yards and hand 0:01:11.900 --> 0:01:14.110 it to Harrison Bucker, who can kick it from 65 0:01:14.110 --> 0:01:17.810 and maybe more. It seemed like they chose to lose 0:01:17.890 --> 0:01:19.610 almost rather than even try to win. 0:01:19.670 --> 0:01:21.590 Yeah, of course, the Chiefs did go on to do 0:01:21.630 --> 0:01:22.369 exactly that. 0:01:22.430 --> 0:01:23.390 But you expected that, right? 0:01:23.410 --> 0:01:24.630 Of course. You knew it was over. 0:01:25.270 --> 0:01:27.839 The problem is that play, 4th and 8th. It wasn't 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:29.580 fourth and one. It was fourth and eight. I looked 0:01:29.620 --> 0:01:34.090 up some numbers. Historically, NFL teams, 39% on fourth and eight. 0:01:34.510 --> 0:01:37.470 But a couple things. Alec Pierce went down, the Colts receiver. 0:01:37.730 --> 0:01:41.130 So they were stuck playing Laquan Treadwell, who had caught 0:01:41.150 --> 0:01:43.060 a long pass and fumbled the ball and not fumbled. 0:01:43.390 --> 0:01:45.300 But they didn't have their full receiving core. 0:01:45.819 --> 0:01:48.240 The Chiefs had the red zone behind them, so they 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.220 couldn't go long. This was a very, very— they had about 0:01:51.420 --> 0:01:53.700 a 20% chance of hitting this play ball. And they 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.420 had probably about a 20% chance of stopping the Chiefs. 0:01:56.890 --> 0:01:58.990 I think he made a calculated risk and decided. 0:01:59.070 --> 0:02:00.450 Why am I going to go for a fourth and eight? 0:02:00.470 --> 0:02:01.530 We have very little chance. 0:02:01.630 --> 0:02:03.330 I think this is one of those rare cases where 0:02:03.430 --> 0:02:06.710 analytics don't work out for you. I think you trump 0:02:06.730 --> 0:02:09.450 it with gut because gut gets you credit. Let's say 0:02:09.470 --> 0:02:11.190 you try that play and you get a first down. 0:02:11.230 --> 0:02:13.230 You don't even need a touchdown there. And you get 0:02:13.270 --> 0:02:14.889 a first down or you get a touchdown and you 0:02:14.930 --> 0:02:17.270 steal this win that you shouldn't have gotten. I think 0:02:17.290 --> 0:02:19.310 the home fans and maybe even the national fans will 0:02:19.330 --> 0:02:21.710 give you credit for having the guts to go for it. Now, 0:02:21.790 --> 0:02:24.079 guts doesn't keep you employed, but you know if you 0:02:24.100 --> 0:02:26.580 give it back to Mahomes, the odds, are you saying 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.119 I'm backing my defense? Yeah, but let's not kid each other. 0:02:29.139 --> 0:02:30.880 Mahomes needs 30 yards. That's not a problem. 0:02:31.340 --> 0:02:34.090 I think he's saying, no, I don't think Daniel Jones 0:02:34.110 --> 0:02:35.669 is going to be able to complete a pass against 0:02:35.690 --> 0:02:37.530 his own defense. He was looking for the blitz, which 0:02:37.590 --> 0:02:39.850 Jones did well against, but there were a lot of 0:02:39.870 --> 0:02:42.470 problems with Indy on that drive. They got the long 0:02:42.510 --> 0:02:45.639 pass to Treadwell, and then they had a minus-one-yard run 0:02:45.780 --> 0:02:46.799 and a minus-two-yard run. 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.000 That's where the game was decided. Jonathan Taylor was great 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.660 all night. Then he got stuffed on two key plays. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.700 Then Daniel Jones scrambled for a few yards. Paul, my 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:57.660 gut said the same thing as Syken. They were not 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:58.919 about to make that first down. 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.000 A couple things here. I think we all realized last 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.220 night that Laquan Treadwell was still in the league. I 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.280 had no idea. This play looked like a great play 0:03:06.300 --> 0:03:08.750 for the Colts. to a bad play for the Colts 0:03:08.790 --> 0:03:10.590 and a win for the Chiefs. And was that a 0:03:10.650 --> 0:03:12.210 correct replay? Because I know you have some problems with 0:03:12.230 --> 0:03:13.330 the replay officials these days. 0:03:13.389 --> 0:03:16.109 Well, the question was, when did he have possession of 0:03:16.150 --> 0:03:19.190 the ball? And was the Chiefs defender touching his hip? 0:03:19.490 --> 0:03:21.169 It is a game of centimeters, Paul. 0:03:21.290 --> 0:03:23.750 And milliseconds. It was like a hip grazing, not even 0:03:23.770 --> 0:03:25.450 a touching, but they said, he's down. 0:03:26.130 --> 0:03:28.280 I think that that whole thing got the Colts off 0:03:28.310 --> 0:03:30.600 their game because the next two plays were a disaster. 0:03:30.860 --> 0:03:32.360 That's why I think the fourth down play was going 0:03:32.380 --> 0:03:33.760 to be a disaster. You might as well let your 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.600 defense try and do something. Now, you're right. Of course, 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.520 the Chiefs were going to come down and score. But 0:03:38.540 --> 0:03:41.160 I'm telling you right now, Shane Steichen is very smart. 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.160 He knew they were not about to convert. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.300 But that sends such a bad message for your quarterback. 0:03:46.540 --> 0:03:49.040 I know Daniel Jones, the first half of last year 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.190 before the injury, looked amazing. as good as Daniel Jones 0:03:52.220 --> 0:03:54.770 can look, which may be not high-end football. But in 0:03:54.790 --> 0:03:57.330 the postgame, I saw Daniel Jones. He looked, like, not 0:03:57.370 --> 0:04:00.070 just defeated, but, like, uninspired. Like, he didn't have any backing. 0:04:00.350 --> 0:04:02.790 Do you know what Daniel Jones' primetime record is, Paul? 0:04:03.010 --> 0:04:03.610 Probably, like, 1-5. 0:04:04.670 --> 0:04:05.640 You'd think that. More like 1-15. 0:04:05.650 --> 0:04:05.810 Okay. 0:04:05.910 --> 0:04:08.900 Or at least teams he's been on are 1-15 primetime. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.480 I had the 5-1. He can never win in primetime. 0:04:12.540 --> 0:04:13.380 He is snakebitten. 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.260 But the Colts, I think the Colts are not a 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.120 bad team. They've lost at Baltimore and at Kansas City. 0:04:18.540 --> 0:04:21.320 That's two hard assignments. And last night, they gave the 0:04:21.380 --> 0:04:23.560 Chiefs everything they had. I would even argue they were 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.380 maybe the better team on the field, and the Chiefs 0:04:25.420 --> 0:04:27.260 are probably going to the Super Bowl. So I'm not 0:04:27.300 --> 0:04:28.060 dead on the Colts. 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.280 That is a warm take early. 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:29.700 You're hot. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.800 Shout out to Kansas. All right, let's go to maybe 0:04:31.820 --> 0:04:33.680 some negatives and how negative are they. What game do 0:04:33.700 --> 0:04:34.300 you want to go next? 0:04:34.740 --> 0:04:36.740 Well, I mean, I know you're a Bears fan, and 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.900 this might hurt your feelings, but there was pretty big negative, 0:04:39.940 --> 0:04:40.860 a couple big negatives. 0:04:41.260 --> 0:04:46.260 The outcome, Vikings win 9-3. Caleb Williams' injury, I thought 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.120 it was dunzo for the year. I thought this was 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.119 all over. You could hear the screaming on the TV copy. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.279 Paul, what was your reaction? 0:04:53.300 --> 0:04:55.739 Well, he didn't get touched, which makes it even worse. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.779 The field was in terrible condition. He didn't grab anything 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.700 when he went down. And then he rolls over Caleb 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.080 Williams and screams right there, as you could hear. The 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.839 crowd is deadly silent. And, of course, you're thinking, I 0:05:05.860 --> 0:05:08.180 think we're conditioned to think that's an Achilles tear and 0:05:08.220 --> 0:05:10.440 it's over, Johnny. I think that's what the average Bear 0:05:10.460 --> 0:05:12.469 fan thinks. And maybe even a casual fan thought when 0:05:12.490 --> 0:05:15.239 they saw his reaction. And then they go instantly to 0:05:15.270 --> 0:05:17.740 the cart. The cart is usually extreme injury. 0:05:18.060 --> 0:05:20.720 Yeah, this was a premature cart, I feel like. And 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.279 also his reaction, a lot of people are, I hate 0:05:23.380 --> 0:05:25.060 to say it, making fun of Caleb a little bit. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.200 He looked like he was crying, had a towel over 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.360 his head. Usually you reserve that for a very, very 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:30.960 serious injury. 0:05:30.990 --> 0:05:33.330 So it appears that it's a hamstring injury and not 0:05:33.490 --> 0:05:35.990 a knee or Achilles that would take him out for 0:05:36.010 --> 0:05:38.450 the season. And when he left the field and he's 0:05:38.490 --> 0:05:40.330 on the cart, he had the towel over the head. 0:05:40.900 --> 0:05:44.080 removes the towel, tears around the face, at least choked up, 0:05:44.460 --> 0:05:46.960 and then does the, I got you guys, to the fans. 0:05:47.430 --> 0:05:48.890 that made me think even more so that it was 0:05:48.910 --> 0:05:51.230 an Achilles tear. And you're saying now it's not going, 0:05:51.550 --> 0:05:54.450 even though from multiple reports say it's just a hamstring 0:05:54.490 --> 0:05:56.010 and maybe not even a serious hamstring. 0:05:56.070 --> 0:05:58.650 No, there's a report that he might be available for 0:05:58.730 --> 0:06:00.730 week three. That's next week, Paul. 0:06:00.890 --> 0:06:03.130 This might be the weirdest thing of the week in 0:06:03.170 --> 0:06:06.250 pro football. The Bears quarterback who the Bears fans thought 0:06:06.270 --> 0:06:08.080 was out for the season is actually going to be 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.279 okay and maybe miss a week. But now Caleb Williams 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.659 has to deal with being an internet sensation on social 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.729 media for You know, like I saw a post today, 0:06:15.860 --> 0:06:17.800 I stepped on a Lego, but I'll be fine. And 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.140 it was a guy crying like Caleb Williams. 0:06:19.180 --> 0:06:21.400 Yeah, I saw, oh, I burnt my tongue on coffee. 0:06:21.820 --> 0:06:24.570 And then it's Caleb Williams. You know, one thing, hamstring 0:06:24.610 --> 0:06:27.650 injuries slow you down. They are very reliant on Caleb 0:06:27.690 --> 0:06:28.210 running around. 0:06:28.250 --> 0:06:28.450 Yes. 0:06:28.750 --> 0:06:30.540 That could be a real issue. Like, we're making fun 0:06:30.580 --> 0:06:32.780 of Caleb Williams right now. You cut his mobility out, 0:06:33.180 --> 0:06:35.140 then I think you have some problems in Chicago. Did 0:06:35.180 --> 0:06:37.620 the whole Bears are going to be this dominant offense 0:06:37.660 --> 0:06:39.050 thing fall apart after Sunday? 0:06:39.070 --> 0:06:41.390 Well, that's a bigger story. Caleb Williams' injury is sucking 0:06:41.410 --> 0:06:42.909 all the life out of this story. But the fact 0:06:42.950 --> 0:06:46.130 that 59-3 in Week 2, now the good news is 0:06:46.170 --> 0:06:48.570 they're averaging 31 points a game on offense over. 0:06:48.450 --> 0:06:49.060 The course of the week. 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.040 I had a thought that Caleb Williams has been reading 0:06:51.060 --> 0:06:54.159 his own headlines, too, because on the interception, he rolled right, 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.280 and he had a guy 20 yards out and just 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.460 flung it. It's an impossible pass in the rain, and 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.620 of course it got picked off. I think Caleb thinks 0:07:00.660 --> 0:07:02.300 he could do anything, and maybe this brings him down 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:02.600 to earth. 0:07:02.740 --> 0:07:05.440 He does have unlimited confidence, and against a good defense. 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.580 This was a quality defense. The Vikings are almost always 0:07:07.620 --> 0:07:10.660 a quality defense, but if you look at it, they 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.920 were all over him the whole way, and Bears fans 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.180 are in this mode now where It's not just the injury. 0:07:15.220 --> 0:07:17.440 It's like, what did I see the first 59 minutes? 0:07:18.020 --> 0:07:18.360 Yeah. 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.920 And then it was tough, tough assignment for Tyson Bajan 0:07:20.940 --> 0:07:22.760 to come in at the end and try and win 0:07:22.790 --> 0:07:23.200 the game. 0:07:23.610 --> 0:07:26.270 But I don't think it's a calamity in Chicago. To me, 0:07:26.330 --> 0:07:28.170 it was a rain. We'll get more into the rain later. 0:07:28.190 --> 0:07:30.450 But there is a calamity out there in the NFL. 0:07:30.550 --> 0:07:31.690 And I know you know what I'm talking about. 0:07:31.710 --> 0:07:33.550 We held up as long as we can. The Chargers, 0:07:33.590 --> 0:07:35.950 we talked about this on Friday's show. We said Monday's 0:07:35.990 --> 0:07:38.410 lead today, what would be the worst thing that could happen? 0:07:38.750 --> 0:07:41.170 And it's the Chargers losing to the Raiders. And For 0:07:41.190 --> 0:07:43.710 the second week in a row, the Chargers lose 26-14. 0:07:43.750 --> 0:07:46.290 Even their scores are boring. And they were unthreatening the 0:07:46.330 --> 0:07:48.650 whole way. This wasn't some fluke win that the Vegas 0:07:48.670 --> 0:07:52.200 didn't deserve. Cousins looked great, and Justin Herbert looked average. 0:07:52.220 --> 0:07:54.260 And average is probably a compliment. Look at this pass. 0:07:54.660 --> 0:07:54.800 Just. 0:07:55.490 --> 0:07:58.950 All over the place, that's a RCI, classic RCI receiver-caused interception. 0:07:58.980 --> 0:08:00.780 That one wasn't on him. There was another one that 0:08:00.820 --> 0:08:03.560 was on him. But he generally doesn't look comfortable. 0:08:03.580 --> 0:08:04.560 He doesn't look poised. 0:08:04.940 --> 0:08:06.840 Fourth quarter of the game, I had more faith in 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.320 Kirk Cousins at 38 than Justin Herbert, who Jim Harbaugh 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.700 kept telling me is the best quarterback in the NFL. 0:08:13.100 --> 0:08:16.200 I guess not, because right now he looks well below average. 0:08:16.220 --> 0:08:17.760 Okay, we're going to look at the schedule here coming 0:08:17.790 --> 0:08:20.150 up for the Chargers, because it is brutal. And you 0:08:20.170 --> 0:08:23.450 can't really see them really going above. 500 at halfway 0:08:23.490 --> 0:08:26.980 point through the season. Bills, Seahawks. It just goes on 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:27.260 and on. 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.490 0-9 is on the table. 0-9. 0-9. 0:08:30.630 --> 0:08:32.209 And the Jets are better than we think. I want 0:08:32.230 --> 0:08:34.550 to go away from the Chargers and get to the quarterback. 0:08:35.150 --> 0:08:37.209 Do you think we've seen Justin Herbert's best work? 0:08:38.390 --> 0:08:41.150 He had 38 touchdowns one season. No, I think he's 0:08:41.170 --> 0:08:43.770 got all the physical skills in the world. I thought 0:08:43.809 --> 0:08:45.500 he was going to be good with Mike McDaniel, but no, 0:08:45.550 --> 0:08:46.940 I don't think we've seen his best work because he's 0:08:47.020 --> 0:08:49.360 never done anything in the playoffs. 0:08:49.380 --> 0:08:51.420 How about the Chargers season? 0-2, can they get out 0:08:51.460 --> 0:08:51.760 of this one? 0:08:53.130 --> 0:08:55.400 No, I think it's, I think, no, that was the 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.780 two easiest games. They had the two easiest games of 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.460 any team in the NFL. They hosted Arizona and Vegas. 0:09:00.780 --> 0:09:02.700 You can't win those two games. How are you going 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:03.920 to get out of that division? 0:09:03.980 --> 0:09:07.260 Casey is back. Denver is back. And now the Raiders 0:09:07.300 --> 0:09:10.400 are good. No, no, I mean, listen, am I going 0:09:10.420 --> 0:09:11.020 to regret this? 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:11.420 Yeah. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.300 I mean, what do you think? Do you think that 0:09:13.330 --> 0:09:13.800 they have a shot? 0:09:13.950 --> 0:09:15.790 I think it's too, the odds are too much against it. 0:09:15.809 --> 0:09:17.750 You don't have like an easy game in the mix. 0:09:17.770 --> 0:09:19.670 You don't have a Miami game in the mix. Or 0:09:19.950 --> 0:09:21.050 even a Cleveland played better. 0:09:21.070 --> 0:09:21.190 Yeah. 0:09:21.210 --> 0:09:23.209 All right, let's try to be positive a little bit here, 0:09:23.250 --> 0:09:25.550 a little negative on not-so-fast Paps and Perloff. Let's do 0:09:25.570 --> 0:09:26.890 some helmet stickers. You're first. 0:09:27.230 --> 0:09:27.430 Okay. 0:09:28.420 --> 0:09:30.650 Carolina Panthers had a dominant win over Atlanta. There were 0:09:30.710 --> 0:09:33.570 several helmet-stickers you could go to. Bryce Young was awesome. 0:09:33.870 --> 0:09:35.790 Devin Lloyd, the linebacker, was dominant. 0:09:36.030 --> 0:09:38.809 But I'm going with my buddy, Darren Waller, tight end. 0:09:38.830 --> 0:09:40.890 I don't know if everyone even knew. He signed with 0:09:40.929 --> 0:09:42.750 Carolina right before the season started. 0:09:43.100 --> 0:09:46.839 Two touchdowns. Had a bunch of touchdowns last year with Miami. 0:09:47.179 --> 0:09:48.500 He's really, really good. 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.660 And actually, Carolina's really good now, and their offense is 0:09:51.700 --> 0:09:52.540 something to be dealt with. 0:09:52.860 --> 0:09:54.620 And I can't wait to see Darren Waller in there. 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.319 They just need a little bit of defense, but that 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.530 offense looks great. And if you look at the career 0:09:58.570 --> 0:10:00.900 of Bryce Young, he was declared a bust at one 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.960 point in his sophomore year of the pros. And now 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.900 it's like he's going to be getting himself a contract. 0:10:05.940 --> 0:10:07.000 I don't know if he's going to get the full 0:10:07.020 --> 0:10:09.820 boat 275, but he may get one of those mid-level 0:10:09.940 --> 0:10:10.859 Baker Mayfield contracts. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.720 I think he's week to week in the sense that 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.500 when you play Atlanta, I think I could get $ 30 0:10:15.179 --> 0:10:17.689 million a year for playing Atlanta. I don't know if 0:10:17.830 --> 0:10:20.550 Bryce Young, it's an interesting team. They could win that division. 0:10:20.630 --> 0:10:22.589 Nobody's looked great there, so they have a great shot. 0:10:22.830 --> 0:10:23.970 I mean, New Orleans is interesting. 0:10:24.190 --> 0:10:26.050 It's funny, all of a sudden we have a Carolina-New 0:10:26.110 --> 0:10:27.410 Orleans battle in the NFC South. 0:10:27.550 --> 0:10:29.410 That's as weird as it gets. My helmet sticker, not 0:10:29.460 --> 0:10:33.520 a surprise. Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase, unbelievable catch. Watch 0:10:33.570 --> 0:10:35.809 this catch because the first time I saw it, I 0:10:35.830 --> 0:10:37.910 didn't even think it was reality. There's Jamar Chase looking 0:10:38.090 --> 0:10:41.130 beautiful with his helmet sticker. But he is, I think, 0:10:41.170 --> 0:10:43.370 the guy who people trust in a situation like this. 0:10:43.970 --> 0:10:45.070 Look at the turn on this one. 0:10:45.710 --> 0:10:45.870 Yeah. 0:10:46.450 --> 0:10:49.729 And he turned, kept them both in, and brought it 0:10:49.790 --> 0:10:52.250 in all in the same motion. Slow motion almost hurts 0:10:52.290 --> 0:10:55.140 that play because in fast motion, or regular motion as 0:10:55.150 --> 0:10:55.780 you like to call it. 0:10:56.740 --> 0:11:00.460 That was freakish. Yeah, no, he didn't do anything week one. 0:11:00.540 --> 0:11:02.420 He wasn't even part of the game plan. So they 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.780 emphasized him. That was a tough game. That was a 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.920 key play, too, because they were not moving the ball 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.400 well against Houston. I know it looked like a dominant 0:11:09.420 --> 0:11:12.040 win for Cincinnati, but Houston's defense was back to being 0:11:12.059 --> 0:11:14.280 Houston's defense, and Chase saved them two touchdowns. 0:11:14.300 --> 0:11:15.819 All right, we're going to talk a lot more college 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.439 football in a second, but the college football, the game 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.109 of the year in maybe all sports, that nine-month buildup 0:11:21.140 --> 0:11:24.170 to Lane Kiffin returning to Oxford, Mississippi, was fantastic. It 0:11:24.190 --> 0:11:27.010 was one of those games where it was an all-day buildup. 0:11:27.150 --> 0:11:29.929 You're watching the different shows, watching Lane Kiffin on different shows, 0:11:29.990 --> 0:11:32.350 watching the crowd reactions. to him getting off the bus, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.980 and then the game itself, you're hoping, I hope this 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.870 isn't a disappointment. And it wasn't, because Ole Miss came 0:11:37.910 --> 0:11:40.030 out gunning. They were just whipping them really early, and 0:11:40.050 --> 0:11:42.770 it looked like it was borderline blowout. And then two 0:11:42.809 --> 0:11:44.730 touchdowns in the third quarter by LSU, and you're like, 0:11:44.850 --> 0:11:45.489 now we have a game. 0:11:46.030 --> 0:11:47.650 Yeah, I mean, game of the year. I mean, it's 0:11:47.690 --> 0:11:49.570 college football. There'll be another game of the year next week. 0:11:49.590 --> 0:11:50.210 Build-up of the year. 0:11:50.250 --> 0:11:52.620 The build-up of the year, right. The grudge match of 0:11:52.630 --> 0:11:55.680 the year. I thought for a while there that Mississippi 0:11:55.700 --> 0:11:58.460 was going to blow them out. I think they sort 0:11:58.500 --> 0:12:01.120 of laid back and let LSU get back into that game. 0:12:01.780 --> 0:12:04.110 To me, it felt like Trinidad Chambliss, the Ole Miss quarterback, 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.310 could have taken over at any time and won the game. 0:12:06.350 --> 0:12:08.210 And he did close it out. Chambliss closed it out. 0:12:08.230 --> 0:12:11.309 They did the two-point conversion, which was really gutsy. But Chambliss, 0:12:11.540 --> 0:12:13.980 put your arms up because you. You probably earned your 0:12:14.140 --> 0:12:17.120 invite to New York City. It's way, way early, but 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:18.680 you may be the Sept Heisman winner. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.750 Yeah, I'm not sure either of these teams are going 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:21.589 to be there in the end. 0:12:21.870 --> 0:12:25.109 LSU looked amazing against Clemson, but Clemson's probably not that great. 0:12:26.370 --> 0:12:29.010 One thing about LSU, Sam Levitt's coming into Lane Kiffin offense. 0:12:29.350 --> 0:12:31.370 You can see it takes time to get used to that, 0:12:31.390 --> 0:12:34.290 where Trinidad Chambliss knows that system really well at Ole Miss. 0:12:34.670 --> 0:12:36.670 So I don't know. Do you expect either team to 0:12:36.690 --> 0:12:37.270 be there at the end? 0:12:37.370 --> 0:12:39.689 I think that whole league kind of consumes itself, and 0:12:39.710 --> 0:12:40.870 you've got to go on one of those runs. But 0:12:40.890 --> 0:12:42.750 at least Ole Miss is in position to go on 0:12:42.770 --> 0:12:42.910 a run. 0:12:43.590 --> 0:12:44.329 Exactly. All right. 0:12:45.270 --> 0:12:47.150 This is not going to be pretty, but we may 0:12:47.170 --> 0:12:50.189 have witnessed the worst loss of all time in college 0:12:50.210 --> 0:12:50.929 football on Saturday. 0:12:51.170 --> 0:12:53.350 We're not kidding. We'll talk about it next. Not so fast. 0:12:56.090 --> 0:12:57.929 Here we go, Pearl. The midday pick me up. I'm 0:12:57.970 --> 0:13:02.010 not so fast. I love this one. Little Pittsburgh Pirates. 0:13:02.030 --> 0:13:07.079 You're a big Pirate fan down the line. That's saucy. 0:13:07.660 --> 0:13:09.040 It's the end of the year. Why not? 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:10.680 Ryan O'Hearn, yeah. What is it going to cost you? 0:13:10.700 --> 0:13:10.960 A playoff? 0:13:10.980 --> 0:13:13.620 Yeah, yeah, yeah. If it doesn't work, eh, so what? 0:13:13.740 --> 0:13:17.020 Good-looking uniforms. Great win there by your Pirates. That was fun. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.200 All right, back on Not So Fast. It's time for 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.780 some warm takes on Pabst. He's Perloff. I will go first. 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.240 It's warm take time. I'm going to go right down 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:25.959 to a guy I've warmed take before on this show. 0:13:25.980 --> 0:13:28.880 We're only not even a month in. Bill Belichick, you 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.460 had a great opportunity. It's been an awful season for 0:13:31.540 --> 0:13:34.750 UNC football off the field. Every week someone resigns, not 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.439 by choice. investigations all over the place. But you beat 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.040 TCU in Ireland. Then you beat East Tennessee State. And 0:13:41.059 --> 0:13:44.250 you're up pretty well against Clemson the other day before 0:13:44.290 --> 0:13:46.550 the rain delay, power delay. And if you could have 0:13:46.570 --> 0:13:49.610 closed that game out, UNC football, you're 3-0 with a 0:13:49.670 --> 0:13:52.970 bye week and Notre Dame coming to town in two 0:13:53.010 --> 0:13:54.710 weeks from now. I don't know if game day would 0:13:54.730 --> 0:13:56.490 have gone there, but they would have considered that because 0:13:56.510 --> 0:14:00.109 that's Bill Belichick relevant again and Notre Dame football. Now, 0:14:00.429 --> 0:14:02.510 they definitely look better, but this was one of those 0:14:02.550 --> 0:14:05.589 games you can't let go. And UNC football... It might 0:14:05.610 --> 0:14:06.870 go the other way because if you look at their 0:14:06.890 --> 0:14:09.510 schedule coming up, the Clemson win was almost necessary for 0:14:09.550 --> 0:14:11.830 positive momentum, more on the field than off. But now 0:14:11.850 --> 0:14:16.430 you've got Notre Dame, Pitt, Duke, Syracuse, then the Miami Hurricane. 0:14:16.470 --> 0:14:19.150 So if we get to the five weeks from now 0:14:19.210 --> 0:14:21.230 and they've lost four out of five when we're talking 0:14:21.250 --> 0:14:23.150 about what Bill Belichick is going to do next with 0:14:23.190 --> 0:14:26.510 his life, go to Nantucket or be a defensive coordinator 0:14:26.530 --> 0:14:29.160 for Army, that will be the reason because this was 0:14:29.220 --> 0:14:30.860 a stretch they could have gone on a run. Whether 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.680 they beat Notre Dame in two weeks or not, it 0:14:32.700 --> 0:14:35.320 was the anticipation of doing something. That's kind of missed 0:14:35.340 --> 0:14:36.000 for sports fans. 0:14:36.610 --> 0:14:38.390 I understand what you're saying, but they have this one 0:14:38.430 --> 0:14:40.410 handicap is that they're not a good football team. 0:14:40.490 --> 0:14:40.870 Not so good. 0:14:41.170 --> 0:14:41.450 Yeah. 0:14:41.510 --> 0:14:44.210 So if they're not good, did they blow it or 0:14:44.250 --> 0:14:46.100 they just kind of they're kind of average? 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.200 Well, kind of meh. 0:14:47.460 --> 0:14:49.140 I would say they're like a B minus. They don't 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.400 they're not exciting. They don't have star players. But they 0:14:51.420 --> 0:14:53.110 put up a pretty good fight against TCU in a 0:14:53.150 --> 0:14:56.370 game they probably are the lesser team. And Clemson, Clemson's 0:14:56.390 --> 0:14:59.810 so down. You had everybody in your corner. Dabo's people were, 0:15:00.130 --> 0:15:00.860 you better win this one. 0:15:00.890 --> 0:15:03.210 Yeah, I mean, Clemson just had to run their quarterback 0:15:03.230 --> 0:15:05.050 on every play. I think both teams are pretty bad. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.600 So that Notre Dame game, honestly, it might be better 0:15:08.620 --> 0:15:11.340 that they're not going for game day because Notre Dame. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.900 Could whoop on them. We'll see in a few weeks. Okay, 0:15:14.220 --> 0:15:16.500 I'm going to go to the NFL for my first take. 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:17.470 Okay. 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:19.990
