Speaker 1: Let's off the edge.
Speaker 2: Cousins thus and it's taken away by Addison for the touchdown.
Speaker 2: He and Sharvarius Ward fighting for the ball, and this
Speaker 2: time Addison takes it for the score.
Speaker 1: It's at one big game this season, that was at.
Speaker 2: Home against Dallas. Here's McCaffrey, he's gone touchdown forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: Purdy steps through floats at his pack and that's it.
Speaker 2: Playing him gets another. This season is hammered. This season
Speaker 2: needs to be put in a cab and send home
Speaker 2: before it says something it can't take back. This season
Speaker 2: needs to take advil and drink four glasses of water
Speaker 2: before they go to sleep. Preventative, because when we wake
Speaker 2: up tomorrow, we're gonna have a big headache. Trying to
Speaker 2: make sense of the NFL. That was pretty good. Kirk
Speaker 2: Cousins led the way for the Minnesota Vikings in just
Speaker 2: a tremendous primetime performance. I don't think that's a thing anymore,
Speaker 2: going thirty five to forty five for three seventy eight
Speaker 2: two touchdowns in a twenty two to seventeen win over
Speaker 2: the suddenly vulnerable San Francisco forty nine ers. His counterpart
Speaker 2: rock Perty. You heard they they are through too late interceptions,
Speaker 2: including a moonball over the middle to clinch the second
Speaker 2: straight defeat for the Niners after their five to zero
Speaker 2: head start. I am Dan hansis coming to you virtually
Speaker 2: a room filled with heroes, Greg Rosenthal and Mark Sessler. Greg,
Speaker 2: I want to start with Cousins here because you know,
Speaker 2: no Justin Jefferson and the general idea was no hope
Speaker 2: for the Vikings and it kind of goes back to
Speaker 2: a thing, and it's been an internal conversation around this player,
Speaker 2: like is he good? Is he very good? Is he mediocre? Man?
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is a really good quarterback and he's proving
Speaker 2: it again for a Vikings team that is suddenly right
Speaker 2: back in the middle of the NFC playoff race.
Speaker 3: I love that he had this performance in primetime because
Speaker 3: it shouldn't feel like it it means more because it's
Speaker 3: at night and it's in an island game, But it does,
Speaker 3: especially because of the team he was going against. Look,
Speaker 3: I give the Vikings offensive line a silver medal in
Speaker 3: this game. I did not think that they could dominate
Speaker 3: in the way that they did.
Speaker 2: Early in this game.
Speaker 3: I thought Kirk Cousins held the ball like a half
Speaker 3: second longer on a lot of these plays that he
Speaker 3: normally does, and it's because the protection held up. But
Speaker 3: he held it and he waited till the last second,
Speaker 3: till his receivers were getting opened down the field when
Speaker 3: he needed to. At one point in this game, he
Speaker 3: was eight for eight for one eighty eight on passes
Speaker 3: over ten yards, and I think that number got even
Speaker 3: better in the fourth quarter. Wasn't updated. You're absolutely right, Dan,
Speaker 3: like he was the absolute difference in this game. And
Speaker 3: if you're just waking up in London or you're watching
Speaker 3: baseball or something and you didn't see it, you might
Speaker 3: be like, Wow, the Vikings got out of there with
Speaker 3: a win. They could have won this game by fifteen points.
Speaker 3: I'm really glad the result was how it finished Mark
Speaker 3: because he was the better quarterback and they were the
Speaker 3: much better team on the day. It actually felt a
Speaker 3: little closer than it needed to be, but they ended
Speaker 3: up getting it done.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: And I have a bit of a Niners fetish, and
Speaker 4: I agree with you. I thought that it was Minnesota's night.
Speaker 4: We got the best version of Kirk Cousins in primetime.
Speaker 4: Both teams missing their star wide receiver. You don't have
Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel, you don't have Justin Jefferson. And I thought
Speaker 4: the Niners are going to find a way to get
Speaker 4: their way out of this and like find a way
Speaker 4: with all the other stars to make production. And it
Speaker 4: was the opposite. It was Jordan Addison tonight. I mean,
Speaker 4: I thought he played spectacularly and they got production from
Speaker 4: their run game, which has been up and down all season.
Speaker 4: I think they've came into the game with eleven rushes
Speaker 4: of ten plus yards. They had three of them early tonight.
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins played really, I think the best game of
Speaker 4: the entire season for himself, and like their offensive line,
Speaker 4: there's no sacks for the Niners. I thought they found
Speaker 4: a Kirk Cousins found a way to puncture the middle
Speaker 4: of that San Francisco defense.
Speaker 1: And this was the Vikings team.
Speaker 4: We've kind of been waiting for, and like, you know, yes,
Speaker 4: could they potentially melt out at the end. They found
Speaker 4: a way to not do that, and the Niners suddenly
Speaker 4: you've lost two games. You're in a strange spot. I'm
Speaker 4: not really like worried about them, but they're a little
Speaker 4: banged up. But I don't leave concerned about the Niners,
Speaker 4: but this is not where we thought we'd be with
Speaker 4: them a fortnit ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, you mentioned Cousins was not sacked.
Speaker 2: He had forty five pass attempts in this game and
Speaker 2: not sacked, and I think I heard a stat that
Speaker 2: that's the most attempts for a player this season without
Speaker 2: being sacked. So a huge shout out times to the
Speaker 2: offensive line. And yeah, Jordan Addison, we've been seeing Addison
Speaker 2: flashing this season as a real number two in the
Speaker 2: replacement for Adam Field in there, and he kind of
Speaker 2: put a stamp on that. TJ. Hockinson before he went
Speaker 2: out for injury, was getting open and getting the ball.
Speaker 2: He had eleven catches in the game. And you know, listen,
Speaker 2: the NFC is weird. Man like Mark, I know you
Speaker 2: nominated the Vikings to be forked last week and it
Speaker 2: was shot down because Minnesota has has the chance in
Speaker 2: this division to get back into this thing, and they
Speaker 2: already are back into this thing after an zero three start.
Speaker 2: It took one big victory to kind of change our
Speaker 2: whole season. And here it is against the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: On the San Francisco side of things, you do. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you didn't have debo, but let's face it, you really
Speaker 2: haven't had debo for most of this year. It's been
Speaker 2: another one of those years where he's just banged up
Speaker 2: and he could be out through the by with that
Speaker 2: fracture airline fracture in his shoulder. But you did have
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk who was five for fifty seven in this game,
Speaker 2: but not necessarily difference maker. George Kittle had some catches obviously,
Speaker 2: but obviously they didn't hook up for anything. You know,
Speaker 2: in the red zone. Christian McCaffrey was held in check. Here.
Speaker 2: He after three yards of carry on fifteen rushes. He
Speaker 2: obviously busted one on a short pass for a touchdown
Speaker 2: and scored another on the ground to keep his incredible
Speaker 2: streak going. So there are elements of that offense that
Speaker 2: looked okay, but to me, it's been purty the last
Speaker 2: two weeks. I worry if, like when we were speaking
Speaker 2: of London, when we were in London, I did a
Speaker 2: heavy metal rendition of Broctober and its return with Brock
Speaker 2: Purdy replacing Brock Osweiler, and all of a sudden, Purdy
Speaker 2: is looking extremely mortal grand and I know that you
Speaker 2: had said last week you didn't think Perdy necessarily played
Speaker 2: terribly against the Browns. There was just stretches where he
Speaker 2: didn't play so well in this game, especially with those
Speaker 2: late those late picks. God, you start to get a
Speaker 2: little bit nervous about him coming down to earth now
Speaker 2: and looking more like the guy what we expected him
Speaker 2: to be when he first entered the lineup.
Speaker 3: Well, I think this was very similar to last week
Speaker 3: in the way I looked at it too. Like you
Speaker 3: heard Troy Aikman say, I think it was starting the
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. You'd be hard pressed to find a game
Speaker 3: where you thought the two quarterbacks played any better. And
Speaker 3: I thought Perdy was almost throwing a perfect game through
Speaker 3: three quarters, and then you started seeing the limitation. Not
Speaker 3: like everything he did was perfect. But they only had
Speaker 3: three drives in the first half. You know, one of
Speaker 3: them ends on the McCaffrey fumble, another mistake with penalties,
Speaker 3: and they missed the field goal on another. They scored
Speaker 3: the touchdown on the third one. They get a very
Speaker 3: quick touchdown drive to end the third quarter, and I
Speaker 3: thought at that point, like Purdy's playing really well. And
Speaker 3: then suddenly in the fourth quarter they're trailing. He's throwing
Speaker 3: these timing throws with a lot of confidence and he
Speaker 3: just misses one to Jennings. There's another play where he's
Speaker 3: scrambling left on a third down and you think, like
Speaker 3: all the superhumans that play quarterback in the NFL can
Speaker 3: throw the ball across their body and complete it. He
Speaker 3: was trying to get a to Ayuk on that play
Speaker 3: and perty just didn't have the arm strength to do it.
Speaker 3: And then he's given the ball late with no timeouts,
Speaker 3: a chance to go down the field. Can he finally
Speaker 3: have that like kind of big game winning drive. He
Speaker 3: hasn't had the opportunity to do that until last week
Speaker 3: really in Cleveland, and he just throws up a pass
Speaker 3: that was a nice play by cam Bina, but they
Speaker 3: were going over the middle of the field and you
Speaker 3: saw his limitations I think show up there. I'm not
Speaker 3: panicked about it, but it definitely didn't give you confidence that, like,
Speaker 3: if he's in a Kirk Cousins like spot where people
Speaker 3: are being taken away and he's under pressure, is he
Speaker 3: going to come through?
Speaker 2: He obviously didn't. Tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
Speaker 4: I I think that you know, it's fair to have
Speaker 4: normal expectations about what rock Party would be very early
Speaker 4: in his career. But tonight, for me, was about a
Speaker 4: Niners defense that's been dominant for long stretches for a
Speaker 4: number of years. They looked a little uncomfortable tonight. And
Speaker 4: I'd even point to the fact that the Vikings had
Speaker 4: one drive that ended on San Francisco's two yard line
Speaker 4: and that was a long drive. That another one that
Speaker 4: ended on the three yard and of San Francisco also
Speaker 4: a long drive, both field goals. I mean, this game
Speaker 4: could have been a much different situation going into the
Speaker 4: fourth quarter because we got a Vikings offense that actually
Speaker 4: was like extremely productive and they're understudies like the Jordan
Speaker 4: Addison's of the world, stepped up and did what we thought.
Speaker 4: I would have thought, like the Niners will find a
Speaker 4: way to get six guys we'd never heard of to produce.
Speaker 3: It was one of the best offensive performances by any
Speaker 3: team all season Tonight's I'd agree. I know that sounds
Speaker 3: weird because they ended up with twenty two points, but
Speaker 3: considering the apoint.
Speaker 2: They only had eight drives.
Speaker 3: Dan they put up four hundred and was it four
Speaker 3: point fifty two and eight drives all eight drives against
Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers essentially were successful until they either
Speaker 3: you know, had the turnover on the first drive where
Speaker 3: it was Ward and Addison you know, fighting for the
Speaker 3: ball and probably should have been Addison's catch. A similar
Speaker 3: play ended up being a Touchdow.
Speaker 2: We can get to that.
Speaker 3: But like other than that, they were moving the ball
Speaker 3: and it really took Kevin O'Connell getting a little conservative
Speaker 3: on some fourth down decisions or else they would have
Speaker 3: had more. I was stunned to see the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers defense, which it really isn't that injured.
Speaker 2: They're pretty healthy.
Speaker 3: I know green Law and Warner Booth got banged up
Speaker 3: late in this game, but they both came back. Like
Speaker 3: it was kind of mystifying. I mean to see an
Speaker 3: offensive line for Minnesota like steamroll and they were running
Speaker 3: well early too.
Speaker 2: What's the what's the defense now? And this this plays
Speaker 2: into the NFL's hammer drunk right now, like what is
Speaker 2: the defense that has for seven weeks gone kind of undefeated?
Speaker 2: If you will? I mean, I think about all these
Speaker 2: great teams San Francisco, Cleveland, the Jets, Dallas, New Orleans, Detroit.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Baltimore has been very good. I
Speaker 2: know I'm trying'm blanking right now whether they had a
Speaker 2: real slip up yet, But like you're seeing all these
Speaker 2: teams kind of go into these funks and it tells
Speaker 2: you there's probably not a truly great difference making defense,
Speaker 2: or maybe it's more just a long season and this
Speaker 2: is a bad night for the Niners on that side
Speaker 2: of the ball, but it is. Again, You've got to
Speaker 2: give so much credit to Cousins and Kevin O'Connell to
Speaker 2: be able to do this without the best wide receiver
Speaker 2: in the league, with him on the sideline whearing sunglasses,
Speaker 2: it's a pretty remarkable achievement. And I want to I
Speaker 2: want to. I know we've talked about Kyle Shanahan before
Speaker 2: and he is a gifted offensive mind, but he can
Speaker 2: be sometimes conservative. I'm trying to wrap my head around
Speaker 2: that decision to with a struggling field goal kicker early
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter to go for the fifteen yard
Speaker 2: the fifty five yard field goal with a struggling rookie
Speaker 2: to make it twenty two seventeen when it's fourth and
Speaker 2: six from the opponent thirty seven yard line, like that,
Speaker 2: that struck me, as HM, I wonder if Shanahan's not
Speaker 2: feeling so hot about Party. But you're right, like that
Speaker 2: doesn't really make sense because Party really was playing well.
Speaker 2: That really stunned me and I was trying to do
Speaker 2: the math in my head is like why did he
Speaker 2: just do that? And then that's what the final score
Speaker 2: ended up being, So it didn't exactly work out right.
Speaker 3: I think they you know, they were off balance all
Speaker 3: night offensively because they're playing this insane defense. You know,
Speaker 3: Brian Flores has brought a crazy energy. I think he's
Speaker 3: a he kind of reminds me of Wade Phillips in
Speaker 3: that Wade Phillips whenever you would bring him in, bring
Speaker 3: him into your twenty sixth ranth defense, Wade Phillips will clean.
Speaker 2: It up fast. It might not work forever.
Speaker 3: And and Flores is even crazier than Phillips and in
Speaker 3: the kamikazi style that he plays with, but he's basically
Speaker 3: taken these guys. They got rid of some older veterans
Speaker 3: and he's taken like a similar secondary friends and can
Speaker 3: bind them with the two interceptions. Akalab Evans, who is
Speaker 3: out there on on ayuk all night. This same young
Speaker 3: guys in the secondary, and he's just in Harrison Smith,
Speaker 3: who's playing like he's five years younger, and he's just
Speaker 3: had blitzing every time, and when he doesn't blitz, he
Speaker 3: only rushes three and he drops eight and you're like,
Speaker 3: what the hell is happening here? And I think it
Speaker 3: just had them off balance. They definitely stopped the run
Speaker 3: really well, and it's not gonna work every every game,
Speaker 3: and it's not gonna even work every series. You saw
Speaker 3: that three play drive where where they they had some
Speaker 3: good beat you know, cover zero beaters with McCaffrey scoring
Speaker 3: that long touchdown, and like that can happen against Flora's too,
Speaker 3: But he has them playing with an energy and I
Speaker 3: think he was messing with their minds a little bit.
Speaker 3: I really thought the Minnesota coaches were awesome because koc
Speaker 3: had all the answers for for San Francisco's defense, and likewise,
Speaker 3: I think Flora's really scrambled them.
Speaker 4: And it was the second game in a row where
Speaker 4: we saw Purty, who has been if anything like if
Speaker 4: he's not majestic, you know, athletically, but he's been safe
Speaker 4: with the football and been smart and kind of like
Speaker 4: beyond his years. And that's what you like about him,
Speaker 4: and it's two games in a row where he's grew
Speaker 4: very dangerous lobs while he's getting tugged at the ground
Speaker 4: and getting thrown around. And like, I, you know, the
Speaker 4: one for all the preseason tropes that we ignore, I
Speaker 4: kind of think I'm starting to buy into the one
Speaker 4: where like a bunch of defensive players are like, we've
Speaker 4: got a new coordinator. He's made it less complex, less
Speaker 4: mind altering, and it's like we just go be who
Speaker 4: we are, because like that was Schwartz in Cleveland, that's
Speaker 4: Flores in Minnesota, and it's you know, if anything, Minnesota
Speaker 4: cut talent off that roster. They got a lot of
Speaker 4: young guys like they cut veteran guys, and like everyone
Speaker 4: seems to be responding better. And this was a pretty incredible, crazy,
Speaker 4: unpredictable performance on both sides of the ball by the Vikings,
Speaker 4: and it's just like something's working and like I I know,
Speaker 4: probably this is you know, it's a Monday night game
Speaker 4: and in Minnesota will translate a week from now. The
Speaker 4: Vikings are bound to disappoint us and you know, be
Speaker 4: fuddle us again as as as viewers, But this is
Speaker 4: their ceiling in in two weeks in a row, two
Speaker 4: teams ceilings top the Niners, and I find that to
Speaker 4: be one of the more surprising storylines of this October month.
Speaker 2: And this is why I like the Vikings. Like Greg
Speaker 2: has fourteen favorite teams, the Vikings would be on my
Speaker 2: list of teams that I'll always make be cool watching
Speaker 2: because they really are entertaining, like their games are more
Speaker 2: often than not, there's there's something going on in the game,
Speaker 2: whether it's weird or there's an upset one way or
Speaker 2: the other, or there's exciting plays going on. And I
Speaker 2: think Cousins for being sad being like the Huey Lewis
Speaker 2: of NFL quarterbacks like hip to be square like he is.
Speaker 2: He's kind of fun and cool to watch as a player,
Speaker 2: and I've always enjoyed watching him, so you know, it's
Speaker 2: it's it's interesting to see where they end up. And
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it. By the way, on
Speaker 2: the other side, and this is my last point, and
Speaker 2: you guys could share whatever you want to share. I
Speaker 2: don't want to hear because I know it's gonna happen
Speaker 2: because everyone's going to key in on the the two
Speaker 2: interceptions with Purdy Now and you have all these idiots
Speaker 2: and bloviators on the fourteen different morning shows on all
Speaker 2: the regional networks and on the you know, on the
Speaker 2: world take a shot leader and our own on our
Speaker 2: own network. Let's be fair that are now going to
Speaker 2: be running those two picks on an end of loop
Speaker 2: and some of the low lights from the Browns game,
Speaker 2: even though he got them into chip shot range basically,
Speaker 2: and the kicker blew it and they're gonna say, oh,
Speaker 2: now pretty stinks. So but you can't do that because
Speaker 2: you can't say when he was thriving that he's just
Speaker 2: a product of the system. And then when he encounters struggles,
Speaker 2: you're not saying it's a system anymore. Then it's him
Speaker 2: and it's like, so just stick a sock in it.
Speaker 2: Let's give this guy a little room to breathe and
Speaker 2: stand that. It's a long season and it was very
Speaker 2: unlikely he was going to go poll to poll as
Speaker 2: a dominant player. I want to see the fuller breadth
Speaker 2: of things. But just get ready for that. There's gonna
Speaker 2: be a lot of mindless chatter about party actually not
Speaker 2: being good and the should the forty nine ers have
Speaker 2: traded Trey Lance is Donald. I'm just Sam Donald. Maybe
Speaker 2: the better option for this team long term just shut
Speaker 2: it out, shut out the noise. In fact, use it
Speaker 2: as a barometer of whether you should watch or listen
Speaker 2: to those programs. Okay, that's my that's my advice. Greg.
Speaker 1: I love Greg, I love well so Dan.
Speaker 4: I as a party, I like, I really love what
Speaker 4: you just said. And it's kind of like you're you're
Speaker 4: sending out a proclamation anyone that's, you know, paying attention
Speaker 4: to this show a party out there. I'm a pretty
Speaker 4: like I think, like, let's see at this, Let's see
Speaker 4: if people can calm there and cool their jets a
Speaker 4: little bit. Let's not go down Dak Prescott Avenue you
Speaker 4: with Brock party, because I think you have to look
Speaker 4: at the overall like body of work as I knock
Speaker 4: something off my desk, like he look at you. He's
Speaker 4: allowed to throw a couple of rough interceptions and a
Speaker 4: couple of rough passes like every other quarterback we follow.
Speaker 3: He is very deck like I think, and he's gonna
Speaker 3: stay that way because I think he's gonna be there
Speaker 3: for a while.
Speaker 2: And and I'm gonna I'll say this too, like the
Speaker 2: Cowboys heading into their bye week. I thought it was
Speaker 2: kind of interesting some of the things they were saying,
Speaker 2: because in our podcast is not as an innocent of this,
Speaker 2: the Cowboys have a stinker and we are just laying
Speaker 2: them to waste. But if the Niners have a stinker,
Speaker 2: the Eagles have a stinker. Where I feel like we're
Speaker 2: just a little bit more.
Speaker 4: I mean, the Cowboys have had two. The Cowboys got
Speaker 4: beat by what we considered.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I get their point because of the
Speaker 3: it's because it's because of how seasons have ended there.
Speaker 3: I mean, it just because of how seasons have ended.
Speaker 2: I think you're right.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty I think he's a very promising young quarterback.
Speaker 3: I think it's into to see Kyle Shanahan go through
Speaker 3: on the sideline. You could see his frustration. It's almost like,
Speaker 3: I think he believes in Bertie so much in the
Speaker 3: same way that he once believes in Kirk Cousins. It's
Speaker 3: very interesting to have this loss to Cousins, the guy
Speaker 3: that he famously was trying to get back in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 3: and then they tried to get Brady, and then they
Speaker 3: had Jimmy g and so then they couldn't get Cousins
Speaker 3: and like and Cousins is absolutely shredding him with an
Speaker 3: unreal performance. I thought it was interesting because I think
Speaker 3: he's almost surprised when Perdy makes any sort of mistake.
Speaker 3: But he also threw some dimes tonight, and I think
Speaker 3: that if I'm laying blame like number one is on
Speaker 3: this defense for a total stink fest of a performance.
Speaker 3: And more to the point, I'm just giving credit for Cousins,
Speaker 3: like him moving out, moving inside the pocket, kind of
Speaker 3: like a Tom you know, a very poor man's Tom Brady,
Speaker 3: but moving in the pocket away from pressure, especially on
Speaker 3: that last third down.
Speaker 2: Third down after third down.
Speaker 3: These are third and seven, third to nines with no
Speaker 3: logical like guy who's winning one on one Addison left
Speaker 3: that game. Hockinson's in and out, He's throwing the Brandon
Speaker 3: Powell in kJ Osborn, Tristan Jackson and Ty Chandler. I mean,
Speaker 3: I I love this was great offensive football from him
Speaker 3: and from his head coach. I think really just in
Speaker 3: a groove and it was a season changing. When we
Speaker 3: talked with Mike Garafolo earlier on Monday on the Trade
Speaker 3: Deadline special, everyone should check that out and we talked
Speaker 3: about the Vikings sort of like, well, if they lose tonight,
Speaker 3: you know, Daniel Hunter and would cousins even be You know,
Speaker 3: everything is much different than it was earlier today and
Speaker 3: very different than when it was.
Speaker 2: If they listen to you, they heard Rosenthal totally dismiss
Speaker 2: Minnesota's chances.
Speaker 3: And I still cause I think Quesse like in his heart,
Speaker 3: would love to get a first round pick for Hunter,
Speaker 3: which which they maybe could have gotten, but now it's
Speaker 3: now it's hard to trade him away. They're three and four.
Speaker 3: He'd try to win next week and maybe the luck's coming.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 3: I thought that was the I'll like end with this
Speaker 3: because it was a crazy play. Sixteen seconds left in
Speaker 3: the half. It was the game changing play in the
Speaker 3: first half, no timeouts. They get a sixty plus yard
Speaker 3: touchdown on a play that Charvarius Ward probably should have intercepted.
Speaker 3: It goes through his arms, probably Cousins Worth throw the
Speaker 3: night turns into a long touchdown. I thought, oh, maybe
Speaker 3: the football gods have returned to Minnesota. Now they're sprinkling
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two lock back on this team.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a minute, like the football.
Speaker 2: Gods they're winning, what score game?
Speaker 4: Football gods, the football gods. If they're sprinkling luck on
Speaker 4: the Vikings, typically it's just to take you and tug
Speaker 4: you somewhere deeper into the fall and winter where.
Speaker 1: We break your heart again.
Speaker 4: I would say this because I think with football more
Speaker 4: than any other sport, we break down and look at
Speaker 4: every individual games. We stop down and watch, like we'll
Speaker 4: go watch the Buccaneers film. What if it's baseball or basketball,
Speaker 4: you just move on and look at like who scored what?
Speaker 1: And you know you bypass it.
Speaker 4: Like if they're five and two the Niners, I would
Speaker 4: not be surprised that they're ten and four when you
Speaker 4: double the record, not be surprised that the Vikings, who
Speaker 4: are three and four are six and eight.
Speaker 1: Like it's it's one night in the season.
Speaker 4: It was a return to normalcy in terms of like
Speaker 4: the Vikings are better than the record, I think a
Speaker 4: little bit like especially an offense, they've been productive, but
Speaker 4: like I'm not, I just I refuse to It was.
Speaker 3: If nothing else happens this season, he had this night.
Speaker 3: This was a nice nights.
Speaker 2: Uh, And now you're trying to take the wind out
Speaker 2: of their sales in this segment.
Speaker 4: Now, No, not, don't try to straw man me into
Speaker 4: some corner like I'm happy for that.
Speaker 2: Not, I'm just saying what you're saying. I'm just it's more.
Speaker 4: Like I'm not going to panic about brock Party. To
Speaker 4: your point, this is what your argument was. I'm not
Speaker 4: talking about fourteen regional like local shows that you are
Speaker 4: talking about like that.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be ten and four and be fine at
Speaker 1: some point.
Speaker 2: So like, cool, nobody. I don't think anybody's disagreeing with that.
Speaker 2: I don't think I don't see a tailspin for the
Speaker 2: Niners here, right, Although they haven't lost two games in
Speaker 2: a row the Niners in like a couple of years,
Speaker 2: and they have.
Speaker 1: It's been strange, like ten days. It's been a weird
Speaker 1: ten days.
Speaker 2: But what are they learn from it? They got the
Speaker 2: Bengals next week. That's they got one a resurgent Bengals
Speaker 2: team next week at home. That that's gonna be a
Speaker 2: lot of fun. And last thing is to ties it
Speaker 2: all together. Kyle Shanahan, Kirk Cousins is like his white whale, right,
Speaker 2: you know, Kirk Cousins is heading towards free agency. I
Speaker 2: don't know that feels like six years too late, but
Speaker 2: just saying, and Brock Perdy probably is there for you know,
Speaker 2: a long time. I think Kyle Shannon loves him. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying Kirk Cousins is headed toward free agency. I'll
Speaker 2: never forget that.
Speaker 3: It's like a Mike Silver report on NFL dot com
Speaker 3: how he was like desperately trying to get Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2: I forget. I think it was twenty seventeen. You could
Speaker 2: look it up.
Speaker 3: We're like doing podcasts and writing newsers and you know
Speaker 3: sometimes when it was a hot newser you'd even and
Speaker 3: write an analysis off the news.
Speaker 2: There we're double news aer in it.
Speaker 4: People wanted Mike Lennon for a couple of years too.
Speaker 4: I mean, people are strange.
Speaker 2: Mark. Can you say that it's possible also that the
Speaker 2: Vikings are eight and six after fourteen games?
Speaker 1: I do think it is.
Speaker 4: I'm not that was more of a like a not
Speaker 4: panic about the Niners take than me trying to like
Speaker 4: cut Vikings fans off of the knees.
Speaker 1: They're wicked sensitive. I get it, like I wish well
Speaker 1: for them.
Speaker 3: I think it was more just like it was a
Speaker 3: nice night in the Kirk cousin's career arc.
Speaker 2: It was just yes for him to beat it the
Speaker 2: star they're playing better show. Yeah, the difference between the
Speaker 2: thirteen and four vikings and this three and fourteen. They
Speaker 2: can get hot in that division. They can get hot.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break and then we'll do
Speaker 2: some news. All right, welcome back. Yes, as we mentioned earlier,
Speaker 2: we had Mike Garfolo on the program from Chris Wesling
Speaker 2: podcast studio earlier today in Englewood and where Greg is
Speaker 2: sitting right now as a matter of fact, and we
Speaker 2: did our trade deadline primer, digging into the potential storylines
Speaker 2: as we look ahead to next Tuesday's October thirty first
Speaker 2: deadline to acquire a team, acquire players some other teams.
Speaker 2: So make sure you check that out also. And this
Speaker 2: is I mean, jeez, it's back. I mean check your socials.
Speaker 2: This guy gets it with Mark Sessler and Mark, this
Speaker 2: guy gets it the season premiere. And this is very
Speaker 2: in line with how you know, big time TV shows
Speaker 2: operate through the years and you come back with your premiere.
Speaker 2: You're looking to do a big number with the Nielsen's
Speaker 2: and like this idea that you ran with was so
Speaker 2: hot that we could couldn't even reference really what it
Speaker 2: was exactly in our social media teas. The people will
Speaker 2: have to hit it up on the audio podcast to
Speaker 2: find out.
Speaker 1: I think they will, you know.
Speaker 4: I think when you i'd take the model that I
Speaker 4: know of a couple shows that have a big sort
Speaker 4: of launch and announcement and say we're here to stay,
Speaker 4: you know, and they put out one episode a year,
Speaker 4: and like I kind of learned from that. We did
Speaker 4: one last year, We've got one this year. But I
Speaker 4: waited this long. I didn't want to rush.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to.
Speaker 4: Be superfluous like the topic I found to be honest,
Speaker 4: because I think no one of you know, importance higher
Speaker 4: up in the companies listening to this. We kind of
Speaker 4: like snuck it by the NFL. We snuck it by
Speaker 4: the company because it's a topic that's a little too hot.
Speaker 4: You couldn't put an NFL dot Com story out there
Speaker 4: about it the way you'd want to. You've got to
Speaker 4: find a way to, you know, shove it in there.
Speaker 4: And that's what we did. This topic. What we've done,
Speaker 4: I think people will see exactly what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: It is hot to the touch, it's electric and I
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be succinnct in the sense that the
Speaker 4: episode is about an hour, like a minute and forty
Speaker 4: one seconds long. But why waste words, It's time to
Speaker 4: be succinct.
Speaker 3: That explanation was almost as long as the actual episode.
Speaker 2: It was longer than the episode.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of you know, when a big feature
Speaker 3: drops and you're like in, you in the art and
Speaker 3: the authors like I have been working on this feature
Speaker 3: for seventeen months. You've been working on this. This guy
Speaker 3: gets it for twelve months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's my the Killer Moon. I think you
Speaker 1: know if you.
Speaker 2: If you saw the write up in the Hollywood Reporter,
Speaker 2: Mark was referred to as a more carnally furious, morally safer.
Speaker 2: So I mean, if that doesn't get you plugged in,
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. Uh And finally, before
Speaker 2: we get to the news, NFL Plus Game of the
Speaker 2: Week is back. We absolutely just killed it with our breakdown.
Speaker 2: I thought of Brown's Cults thirty nine to thirty eight.
Speaker 2: Uh so check that out for some deep discourse.
Speaker 4: We might have included some elements of the game that
Speaker 4: we probably should have included in the Sunday Night recaps,
Speaker 4: so like you know, we find a way to match
Speaker 4: it up in the end.
Speaker 2: So what does that mean? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: I'm a journalist and I like what.
Speaker 4: I don't need to get into it on this show,
Speaker 4: but like, there there are elements of that game that
Speaker 4: maybe if you know, there's been a little more robust
Speaker 4: Uh are you some.
Speaker 2: Colts fans are angry at the sas dog about it.
Speaker 1: I don't too well with that, so they can stick it.
Speaker 2: So if those first of all kickrocks, I mean we
Speaker 2: do literally a trillion shows and we don't all hit
Speaker 2: home runs every single time.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: If you were looking for some deep discourse on the
Speaker 2: end of that game. As an addendum, check out the
Speaker 2: NFL Plus breakdown of that game. All right, now, let's
Speaker 2: get into the news bringing kick Rocks back.
Speaker 1: Yah, kick Rocks.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get into it starting with a trade.
Speaker 2: And it actually is something that came down when we
Speaker 2: were doing our trade deadline primer with Mike Garrafolo. The
Speaker 2: Eagles added some reinforcements to their banked up secondary. They
Speaker 2: get Kevin Byard in a trade with the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 2: on Monday. The Eagles sent back Tel Edmunds plus two
Speaker 2: draft picks to the Titans. It's a homecoming for Bayard,
Speaker 2: who was born in Philly named after Brian Dawkins. How
Speaker 2: cool is that? And now he joins a new team.
Speaker 2: Is anything else you wanted to add there, either of
Speaker 2: you boys?
Speaker 3: Well, no, just I think it speaks to where they
Speaker 3: know their week on their team and it could work
Speaker 3: out really well.
Speaker 2: It might not.
Speaker 3: Like he's a little older that you know, he's an
Speaker 3: aging player. He might be on this team next year.
Speaker 3: It's more about this season. He's a player I always
Speaker 3: remember first became famous because Deon Sanders didn't know his
Speaker 3: name as he was headed towards an All Pro season,
Speaker 3: and he was upset about that and Dion took offense.
Speaker 3: And now he's gonna be much more in the spotlight.
Speaker 3: And they they needed it, Like I think they know
Speaker 3: they are not right in the secondary. But I don't
Speaker 3: think it's like some sort of game changing move. It's
Speaker 3: just one that makes me think, Man, the Titans might
Speaker 3: be selling and Derek Henry might be somewhere else, and
Speaker 3: that's gonna give us some fun stuff to talk about
Speaker 3: in the next week.
Speaker 4: The only thing I'd add is that there are like
Speaker 4: I've seen Titans fans out on X and other platforms
Speaker 4: a little annoyed that they've become this sort of you know,
Speaker 4: pipeline to recreate the Eagles and position groups where they're
Speaker 4: a struggling you need a wide receiver. Let us just
Speaker 4: sell you Aj Brown and have our head coach march
Speaker 4: out of the draft room. Oh you need a safety.
Speaker 4: Oh you're struggling, you might be a little vulnerable. Just
Speaker 4: give you Kevin Bayer, no problem. It's like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: At some point, it's like, when do we stop just
Speaker 4: feeding force feeding and pink ponying the Philadelphi Eagles.
Speaker 2: Forgot about ping pony.
Speaker 3: Aj Brown has more receiving yards than the entire Titans
Speaker 3: wide receivers group.
Speaker 2: By the way, Woolf and who would know more about
Speaker 2: pink Pony, the operation connected to the Patriots during their
Speaker 2: glory years than Mike Rabel, head coach of the Titans.
Speaker 2: So tough Stitch Justin Fields in injury news unlikely to
Speaker 2: be back in the lineup in Week eight against the Chargers.
Speaker 2: That from head coach Matt Ibrafluss, who said he is
Speaker 2: doubtful doubtful to play, so that means another start for
Speaker 2: rookie Tyson Beagent, who had some big moments and flashed
Speaker 2: some really impressive ink along his breastplate and when he
Speaker 2: had his shirt off during game ball. And also Eric
Speaker 2: Rabbits producer who is inked up so hardcore that he
Speaker 2: will travel like to San Diego for instance, to go
Speaker 2: to tattoo festivals and competitions. That's neither here nor there,
Speaker 2: but Beijent has it on his back as well. So
Speaker 2: I just I'm just into Bigent. He's an interesting guy
Speaker 2: and he gets another start.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if Beijen beats the Chargers, that's a that's a
Speaker 3: fascinating draft. Picked of a game between two two win
Speaker 3: teams this week just because there's a lot of chaos possible.
Speaker 3: If the Bears win that game, I'm interested their Their
Speaker 3: offense will look completely different with them, and it certainly
Speaker 3: wasn't bad.
Speaker 4: It's also happening on Sunday night. Like if you're Tyson Beigent, like,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, you were anonymous, You were anonymous two
Speaker 4: weeks ago, and now you're gonna be playing on Sunday
Speaker 4: night football Chicago Bears Chargers.
Speaker 1: This is just really we'll preview it during the week.
Speaker 3: But man, Brandon Staley, I would rat if I was
Speaker 3: Brandon Staley, I do Fason beige It is the last
Speaker 3: guy I want to be facing on Sunday Night Football.
Speaker 3: It's potential to not make it to week nine for
Speaker 3: Brandon Staley.
Speaker 2: What an indictment of the entire Brandon Staley enterprise that
Speaker 2: he's shaking his boots because Beigeent's getting another start. But
Speaker 2: it's a weird situation there. In other injury news, the
Speaker 2: NFL is asking injury report compliance questions to the Atlanta
Speaker 2: Falcons about when they knew rookie running back Bejon Rockrobinson
Speaker 2: was not physically well and why it wasn't reported per
Speaker 2: league policy. Adam Schefter reported on Monday, this is standard
Speaker 2: practice when a player day of game suddenly is not available.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of reasons why it's very important
Speaker 2: that teams comply with the injury things. In terms of
Speaker 2: things that happen in the desert, it's a very serious thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, as you know from basically forty eight percent
Speaker 2: of commercials connected to the NFL now. So, the Falcons
Speaker 2: declined comment Monday and evening from I covered that game
Speaker 2: for the podcast yesterday, and it like the stench was
Speaker 2: in the air, just how weird it all smelled, not
Speaker 2: because it's so strange that a player would wake up
Speaker 2: and I guess was a reported as headaches after the fact.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was all the way it was
Speaker 2: all reported, the way that he was in the he
Speaker 2: was active and dressed and on the field for some
Speaker 2: snaps and then getting a carry in the final minute.
Speaker 2: Everything about it were just I mean, it had Lady
Speaker 2: Smith's fingerprints all over it for starters, but you know whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he also like I mean, he was not
Speaker 4: feeling well on Saturday, so it was the day before.
Speaker 1: And I think that we all are if you're in
Speaker 1: a fantasy league.
Speaker 4: Everyone had the group thread where one of the friends
Speaker 4: who had Jon Robinson is, you know, writing the text
Speaker 4: where he's annoyed that the Falcons did this. He's probably
Speaker 4: annoyed with the Falcons in general, but this happened. But
Speaker 4: then on top of it, like it made me think
Speaker 4: a little bit back to the like four billion like
Speaker 4: NFL dot com posts written about Percy Harvin with migraines,
Speaker 4: and I was like, just like yesterday when like I
Speaker 4: wonder if this was like, I don't know what it was.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe it was just a headache, but like a
Speaker 4: migraine kind of thing could come and go. You might
Speaker 4: be better the next day. But I don't know if
Speaker 4: you're the Falcons, but that.
Speaker 2: If he would have woken up with migraines, Mark and
Speaker 2: they come on in the telecast and after he doesn't
Speaker 2: play in the first half, we'd come out at halftime
Speaker 2: and Christina Pink does that interview and the head coach says, yeah,
Speaker 2: he woke up, he had some head issues, he had
Speaker 2: some migrants. No one does batteran an eyelash because the
Speaker 2: league takes it very seriously brain trauma and things of
Speaker 2: that nature. And yet the wording around it was just odd.
Speaker 2: He just wasn't feeling like himself or wasn't feeling great. Odd.
Speaker 2: The whole season over there has been odd, and yet
Speaker 2: the Falcons are in first place, also in first place
Speaker 2: of the Kansas City Chiefs, but they will be it
Speaker 2: without one of their most important defenders, Nick Bolton, the linebacker.
Speaker 2: He had a wrist injury. This was kind of a
Speaker 2: harrowing report from the CBS telecast. I think Wolfson reported
Speaker 2: that he was screaming in pain as he headed back
Speaker 2: to the locker room. And that's typically what happens to
Speaker 2: people when they dislocate their god wrist and he needs
Speaker 2: surgery and it's going to cost them approximately two months
Speaker 2: according to Pell Raiser, And we mentioned that briefly on
Speaker 2: the Trade Deadline show as well, because in an underhanded way,
Speaker 2: Pallisero snowed under the old rap sheet and you know,
Speaker 2: rap sheet won't forget.
Speaker 3: He won't and I won't forget Brett Veitch, their general manager,
Speaker 3: for signing one of my favorite off ball linebackers that
Speaker 3: I always thought could do a little bit everything, Drew
Speaker 3: Chank will and when he's come in for Bolton this
Speaker 3: year has really looked great. So I think they're fine
Speaker 3: with Tranquil and Gay, but it's in Willie Gays the
Speaker 3: other one, but Bolton's was playing at a Pro Bowl level,
Speaker 3: so it's a big time disappointment for them.
Speaker 2: In other injury news, the Bills are losing a big
Speaker 2: part of their offense. Dawson Knox, their tight end, also
Speaker 2: had a risk issue that required surgery. He's been dealing
Speaker 2: with that for a couple of weeks and they decided
Speaker 2: to shut him down. Get the surgery done, they don't
Speaker 2: have a timeline on when he'll be back. He played
Speaker 2: sixty three percent of their snaps on Sunday. Dalton Kincaid,
Speaker 2: their rookie tight end, saw more work in that game,
Speaker 2: and you imagine he will continue to see more work
Speaker 2: after that.
Speaker 3: And I on the Bills during the trade deadline thing,
Speaker 3: because like remember we talked this whole offseason, it's like, oh,
Speaker 3: who's gonna step up for being a weapon? Oh, they're
Speaker 3: going to do the two tight end thing, and they did.
Speaker 3: They were playing two tight ends more than anyone in
Speaker 3: the league until this week against the Patriots when they
Speaker 3: started to back off it. And it's just like they
Speaker 3: where's the third receiver? Where's even the second receiver? Gabe
Speaker 3: Davis comes and goes. He's been fine, but they feel
Speaker 3: like a team, especially after this injury. I think that
Speaker 3: might try to make make a move.
Speaker 4: That really showed up in the Patriots game. I think
Speaker 4: we mentioned that on Sunday night, was just like, where
Speaker 4: was the other weapon that they could have used when
Speaker 4: it's not stuff on digs? And like I know with
Speaker 4: Kinkaid and Knox, they were doing what you know, not
Speaker 4: the twelve personnel, but the eleven and a half personnel
Speaker 4: where they they're using two tight ends all the time,
Speaker 4: and like I think Kinkaid maybe a little bit less
Speaker 4: as a blocker, but if anything, it might the one
Speaker 4: like blessing disguise is if you get Kinkaid in there,
Speaker 4: like one hundred percent of the time, I think he
Speaker 4: is that weapon, and like he's sort of shown that
Speaker 4: and like maybe they come out of it with him growing.
Speaker 2: Bill's got problems. Keep an eye on the Bills here.
Speaker 2: Broncos safety Kareem Jackson suspended four games for multiple violations
Speaker 2: of unnecessary roughness. Well, if the suspension comes after Jackson
Speaker 2: was disqualified from Sunday's win over Green Bay after delivering
Speaker 2: a hit to Packers tight end Luke Musgrave, who was
Speaker 2: deemed a defenseless receiver. He was flagged for a personal
Speaker 2: foul penalty in addition to his disqualification from the game,
Speaker 2: and you do the math. I'm not sure what his
Speaker 2: salary is Kream Jackson, but essentially a four game suspension
Speaker 2: that's without pay, so whatever is game day check times
Speaker 2: for that is a huge penalty and you take him
Speaker 2: off the field for essentially a quarter of the season,
Speaker 2: trying to send the message to Jackson and others, just
Speaker 2: like with the gambling policy, Hey, don't do this because
Speaker 2: we're gonna come for you and it's gonna hurt in
Speaker 2: the wallet as well as your reputation.
Speaker 3: One of West's favorite players because he's a throwback, like
Speaker 3: a Bob Sanders type. I mean, he loves, he loves
Speaker 3: hitting guys in the head. Just keeps keeps happening over over.
Speaker 3: I thought he might get traded, but that's not gonna
Speaker 3: happen now.
Speaker 4: I know you're concerned about his reputee that his reputation
Speaker 4: is going to take a huge hit.
Speaker 2: Honestly, could not care less. But I do like that
Speaker 2: West liked him. But I also like being a like
Speaker 2: I'm a throwback, I'm a hard nosed guy. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: knock this guy's head off. He won't know where he
Speaker 2: is after the game, Like, we don't do that anymore.
Speaker 2: So you gotta you gotta adjust, gottadjust. I'm sure he
Speaker 2: might now that he's lost, I don't know, like two
Speaker 2: million dollars or whatever. It's gonna be finally in the news.
Speaker 2: Give me that iconic Mark Robudeo theme, Little Hard Knocks
Speaker 2: all right, we're coming off the New York Jets Hard
Speaker 2: Knocks season this summer, but unless you've been under a rock,
Speaker 2: you should know that they've been doing a in season
Speaker 2: version for three years now, and this is a pretty
Speaker 2: good get I thought for the Hard Knocks and HBO team,
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. The Miami Dolphins will be the featured in
Speaker 2: season team this season, the team and HBO and NFL
Speaker 2: Films announced in a joint statement. Last year we tracked
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. I could not have cared less about that
Speaker 2: team or season, so I did not watch that. The
Speaker 2: previous year was what Colts Colts Colts, and I guess
Speaker 2: there was some palace intrigue because they collapse horrendously down
Speaker 2: the stretch. But the Dolphins are a bonafide AFC contender
Speaker 2: that have all this kind of buzz around them, and
Speaker 2: crucially Mike McDaniel, who is a hugely compelling figure. So
Speaker 2: this one might be one that I'm checking out.
Speaker 3: I feel like these shows depend on the coaches so
Speaker 3: much and Mike McDaniel being the leader of this team
Speaker 3: and this team, and we'll see where they go. They
Speaker 3: got the Patriots this week, and who knows what their
Speaker 3: story will be, but they feel like the one of
Speaker 3: the freshest, most interesting stories of this season. So for
Speaker 3: Hard Knocks to have the Jets in training camp and
Speaker 3: then the Dolphins, now nice season for Hard Knocks. I
Speaker 3: will be watching this because of my spiritual brother Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an invisible string mark that ties Mike McDaniel
Speaker 2: to Greg Rosenthal. And if anybody can unlock Greg, which
Speaker 2: we certainly have not been able to do in the
Speaker 2: last twelve years or so, it would be McDaniel. So
Speaker 2: in general, I would love I mean, I would love
Speaker 2: for us to talk to Mike McDaniel and maybe that's
Speaker 2: what that we could work on because I think we're
Speaker 2: all all of us are kind of super into the personality.
Speaker 2: And then it's this guy that's an innovator in the league,
Speaker 2: and I feel like he would be I feel like
Speaker 2: he'd be good on the show. I think if we
Speaker 2: could get him on the program, that would be fun.
Speaker 2: So maybe watching this show will give us some good background.
Speaker 2: If we can make that happen.
Speaker 1: He would be great on the show.
Speaker 4: I don't know how, and Greg, I understand where you're
Speaker 4: coming from, Like, I don't know how you co opted
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel. I think that there's a fascination.
Speaker 2: This is my theory. Actually, yeah, I have to say,
Speaker 2: like I just the way kind of the mannerisms and
Speaker 2: the some it's like, you can't tell is he being
Speaker 2: purposely obtuse but he's obviously there's some deep thinking going on.
Speaker 2: But why is he trying to annoy me right now?
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things. There's a lot of layers
Speaker 2: to McDaniel and Greg that I just see parallels. I know.
Speaker 4: I think, like, like Greg, do you call it like
Speaker 4: a fresh choice or whatever? Like I mean, the last
Speaker 4: two years of the show, it was like, first of all,
Speaker 4: we have football happening like literally every second of every day,
Speaker 4: whether it's news or games, and it's like it's just this,
Speaker 4: but this for this choice, I don't know how they can't.
Speaker 4: Maybe they've updated how they decide what team to pick,
Speaker 4: and maybe it's a little bit let's find out where
Speaker 4: we are a couple weeks into this season, but.
Speaker 1: Like, I'll watch this. I'm interested in this.
Speaker 4: If if you pick twenty five other teams hard out,
Speaker 4: don't care.
Speaker 1: Like I'll survive without it. I'll watch this.
Speaker 4: And I think Mike McDaniel is an Absolutely, it's for
Speaker 4: a reason why it's.
Speaker 2: The it's the bi annual Mark Sessler caveat filled Hard
Speaker 2: Knocks endorsement.
Speaker 1: No, but you know, but listen. But like that's because
Speaker 1: they made the right choice.
Speaker 4: Like there was a period where like we got either
Speaker 4: the Rams or the Chargers on like the summer and
Speaker 4: the autumn version and all this other business.
Speaker 1: So they live or die a show or whatever it's called.
Speaker 4: Like all in like it's just like I don't need
Speaker 4: to see anymore, like Jeff Fisher Rams not all or.
Speaker 2: Nothing, this this.
Speaker 1: This, I'm in for this, I'm info probably in case
Speaker 1: you got two episodes.
Speaker 2: We're curious. The invisible strain connects Greg to McDaniel. My
Speaker 2: invisible string connects to Jim Tomsula, and Mark's invisible string
Speaker 2: connects to Frank r. So there, that's that's everything for you.
Speaker 1: It's not accurate.
Speaker 3: Mark connects to Kate Winslet.
Speaker 1: That is accurate.
Speaker 2: He wishes all right, Uh that's it. Okay, So uh again,
Speaker 2: this guy gets it lands in your feed on Tuesday,
Speaker 2: so do not miss that because it's trenchant and like
Speaker 2: I said, the Hollywood Reporter called Mark a more carnally furious,
Speaker 2: morally safer. So if that doesn't get you to tune it,
Speaker 2: I just don't know what will. Uh. And we'll be
Speaker 2: back on Wednesday with Colleen Wolf in a very very
Speaker 2: special holiday episode in a way, so it is kind
Speaker 2: of a holiday in our show for this particular episode.
Speaker 2: Until then, Heat the Call.
