1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: What is up? Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Tuesday, September seventeenth. I want to welcome in,

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Oh boy, all our fans in Philadelphia. Oh my gosh,

5
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: do we have a fun show in store for you. You know,

6
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: we recently moved this year and one of my old

7
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: neighbors is a big Eagles guy, you know, big sports fan.

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: Him and his family. His kid is a one of

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 2: his kids is a really good basketball player, plays on

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: the high school team. His daughter was on the soccer team.

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Taught my daughter some lessons. The older son goes to

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: Maryland like great family, and I cannot imagine what he's

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: going through this morning after watching Nick Sirianni completely blow

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 2: the game against Kirk Cousins. Eagles should have won that game,

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. Eagles had that game one

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: and Sirianni blew it. Now, listen, I know a lot

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: of people want to blame Saquon Barkley for dropping the

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: pass on third down. Totally get that understandable. People want

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: to blow blame, sorry not blow. People want to blame

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: Kellen Moore for the sequencing of play calls there in

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: the final two minutes, including the drop pass by Saquon Barkley.

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: People want to blame big Fan Jill. I get all

23
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: of that. Everybody is to blame, and my guy, if

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: I'm Philly, I know some people are starting to turn

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: on Jalen Hurts. Listen. I know he threw that pick late.

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: I didn't think that pick was his fault. It looked

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: like the cornerback Terrell kind of re routed Devonte Smith

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: who was curling out, and they read it. They read

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: the play like a book, and Terrell just rerouted him

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: just a little allowed the safety to come in and

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: get the pick. But I think this belonged to It

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: has to be weighed heavily on Nick Sirianni. I think

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: he's got to wear this, folks. I just there's an

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: old adage, right besides, never go up six in the

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. It's pointless, Okay, you lose when you give

36
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: up touchdown, and of course you're up six, so you're

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: gonna go into prevent d as the Eagles foolishly did

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: Fanngio's defense. I don't know what the hell they were doing,

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: but this goes back to the first quarter. Think about this.

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: The second drive of the game, the Eagles get into

41
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: the red zone. Okay, they get to I believe the

42
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: ten yard line and it's fourth and four, and you're like, okay,

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: do we kick the field goal and go up three

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: nothing or do we go for Oh, let's go for

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: it and they fail. The smart play is to kick

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: early and go for it late. Take points early? What

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: were you allergic to points? Are you that ego driven?

48
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we got four yards, we got this,

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: take the three. Okay, he didn't take it, and you know,

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: basically most of the night to playing catch up. All right,

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: let's fast forward to that final drive at Saquon Barkley

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: and Sakuon Barkley had an awesome game. The kid is

53
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: super talented. He is an awesome twenty two carries, ninety

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: five yards, caught four for twenty one, did have a drop,

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: obviously costly, did not really pop any explosives. His longest

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: carry was eleven yards, longest reception was ten. They missed

57
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: aj Brown and I'm just telling you they did not

58
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: have any kind of vertical threat. Their biggest play of

59
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: the game was a Jalen Hurts scramble. For twenty three yards.

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: No deep balls without aj Brown. Obviously the offense was

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: very limited without him, right, So they're set up inside

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: the red zone in the final two minutes, and I'll

63
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: go through the place for you. Like, Falcons were basically

64
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: out of timeouts. Okay, They're facing first and ten at

65
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: the twenty seven two fifty six, they go Barkley, They

66
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: go Barkley, two minute warning. Jalen Hurts Tush push gets

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: the first and you're like, all right, we got this,

68
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: lock it up. Okay, Falcons take a timeout. Saquon Barkley

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: left over the left side for four. Falcons take another

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: time out, all right. Then Saquon Barkley goes for three yards.

71
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: Falcons take their final timeout. So it's third and three.

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: Falcons have no more timeouts left. At the ten yard line,

73
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 2: you need three yards. I view this as well, We've

74
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: got two plays to get three yards. And guess what

75
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: if we run, they can't stop the clock because they're

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: out of timeouts. Right, So on third and three, I mean,

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to run the Jaalen Hurts Toush push

78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: back to back, but I think that's got to be

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: in play. You consider it even if you get one

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: yard or none, fine, the clock's rolling and it's fourth

81
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: and three. Okay. Then you're like, oh, well, if we're

82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: only up three at the time, the Falcons would have

83
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: to go ninety yards with no timeouts and less than

84
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: a minute, basically about a minute. But you still have

85
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 2: fourth down to go for. If Barkley gets one or

86
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: two and you're facing fourth and one or two yards,

87
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: I think the Tousch push works. They had been working

88
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: most of the night. They elect to pass, and again, yes,

89
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: Sequon Barkley was open. Yes, if he catches it, they

90
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: get the first down, game over. I don't even think

91
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: they kicked the field goal. They just run out the clock.

92
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 2: The ball is not a perfect pass, but it was

93
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: certainly catchable. Barkley catches that probably you know, ninety eight

94
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: times out of one hundred, it goes off his fingertips.

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: So it's worst case scenario. Clock stops and you kick

96
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: the field goal to go up six. And at this point,

97
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, one p thirty nine as an eternity.

98
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: But again you're facing Kirk Cousins, who, oh, by the way,

99
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: is not moving well right. We saw last week the

100
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Steelers just lit him up and it's Kirk Cousins primetime

101
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: historically has been in one of his big bugaboos. He struggled,

102
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: So what do the Eagles do? I mean, this was

103
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: mystifying defense. This is where Fonngio needs to wear it, Folks.

104
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: Fonngio decided, we're not going to pressure Kirk. We're just

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: gonna rush four and drop back in his own I

106
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, I told you guys, I bet Eagles

107
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: minus six last week before the aj Brown stuff, I

108
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: thought the Eagles were slam dunk. Kirk Cousins first play

109
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: over the middle of the cowpits for eleven. They hurry up.

110
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: They go to Darnel Mooney for twenty one. Then they

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: go to Dartle Mooney for twenty six. Folks, in forty

112
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: seconds they got to the twelve yard line. Now, if

113
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: they at this point, I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm screwed.

114
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: But maybe the Focon score quickly, and they do they

115
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: get the touchdown. I mean, I can't recall a more

116
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: crisp two minute drill than that one. The Kirk Cousins ran.

117
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: It was again Pitts Mooney Mooney, London incomplete passed to

118
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: Raverery McLeod, which could have been pass interference, I don't know.

119
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: And then Drake London cooks and I mean absolutely roast,

120
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: big play sleigh, a big mouth sligh is what I

121
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: should call him. On the sideline. And at this point

122
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: you're kind of shook. But then you see you're like, oh,

123
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: thirty seconds, well all right, I guess the Eagles can

124
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: still pull it off. And then you're like, well, they

125
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: have no deep threat, and and then the pass was

126
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: picked off by Hurts and the Eagles loose. This is

127
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: one of those games where it's like, okay, national TV audience,

128
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: primetime game at home home, you need that win. And

129
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: I just thought Sirianni had an awful game. Obviously, no

130
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: AJ Brown really hurt. But when you start to drill down,

131
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna just tell you some of these stats,

132
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: the Falcons were two for nine on third down, not great,

133
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: not great at all. The Falcons, by the way, in

134
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: the red zone just one for three. Could not really

135
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: deliver until the end of course, like you can't lose

136
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: that game. That is devastating to the Eagles. Again, it's early,

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: but the NFC looks far tougher in my opinion than

138
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: the AFC.

139
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,240

148
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,840

00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: That Kenneth Walker injury. I can't believe Seattle got to

155
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: win a nice win for them. T Higgins has yet

156
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: to play a down this season. Pickens for the Steelers

157
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: has been dinged up, Jaden Reed dinged up. Evan Ingram

158
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: missed the game. He got hurt in warm ups, Freakin

159
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: warm ups. Keenan Allen missed the game this past week.

160
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: Ferguson missed for the Cowboys. Jordan Love obviously, Roma Dunze

161
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: has been nicked up. Jordan Addison is injured. Folks, you

162
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: go Hollywood brown out for the season, Like you start

163
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: to look around the league and wonder why the hell

164
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: offense is down. It's like, all right, well, red zone

165
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: and EPT two, But looks at all those stars that

166
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: are down. My gosh, I saw an absolutely bonkers stat.

167
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: And and you know I love to toot my own horn.

168
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: Who doesn't, But I have been screaming at the top

169
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: of my lungs that this wide receiver market is just silly.

170
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: They're all they're getting overpaid. And because of the salary cap,

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: you can't pay a quarterback and a wide receiver and

172
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: then like one other person and field a competitive team.

173
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: It's just very difficult to do. Right now. This is

174
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: a passing touchdown stat through two weeks. So someone went

175
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: back to twenty nineteen. Okay, you had one hundred and

176
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: five passing touchdowns through two weeks. Then in twenty twenty

177
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: you had one hundred and ten, twenty twenty one, still

178
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten, twenty twenty two, one hundred and five. Okay,

179
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: last year, significant drop to eighty six now twenty twenty

180
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: four passing touchdown. This was before Atlanta Philly sixty six

181
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: not quite half of what we had two years ago,

182
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: but maybe forty percent. And I'm eyeballing in and it's

183
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: early in the morning, folks. Let me just quickly add

184
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: from the Falcons and Eagles, just so we get the

185
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: exact So there were three in Falcons Eagles, so that

186
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 2: bumps up to sixty nine, everybody's favorite number, sixty nine

187
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: passing touchdowns, when two years ago there were one hundred

188
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: and five through two weeks. Where has the offense gone now?

189
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: We can you know, we'll probably try to do a

190
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: podcast on this tomorrow or the next day. But it's

191
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: like why, and don't the basic answer that you know,

192
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: guys who don't listen to this podcast, Oh well, the

193
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: too high zone, the too high shell that the defenses

194
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: are playing, refusing to give up the big place. Yeah,

195
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: people started to do that against Mahomes two years ago. Okay,

196
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: that's still it's still a thing. That's a small part

197
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: of it, but I think a big part of it is.

198
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Quarterback play around the league is crap, guys. I mean,

199
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: it's funny. You look at the numbers. Kirk Cousins only

200
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: went over two hundred yards thanks to that final drive

201
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: in two minutes. Jalen Hurts thirty pass attempts, one hundred

202
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: and eighty three yards. I mean, we talked about this

203
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: after Week one. If you look at the passing numbers

204
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: around this league, it's like, what the hell's wrong with football?

205
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: These are the quarterbacks who went over three hundred yards

206
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: this week, Gino Smith and he basically had to throw

207
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: a million times because no Kenneth Walker, brock Purdy comeback

208
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: mode the entire way three hundred nineteen, and Jared Goff,

209
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: who bizarrely attempted fifty five pass attempts and finished with

210
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: three hundred seven yards. That's it. I mean that that's crazy.

211
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm just humor me. ESPN allows us to go back

212
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: with their toggle twenty twenty three regular season. In Week two,

213
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: Dak Press got through for three forty five, Lamar for

214
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: three twenty one, Tyrod Taylor to three nineteen, Matt Stafford

215
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: three to seventeen, Joe Flacco three oh nine. Yeah, so

216
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: you had sick Baker Mayfield nine as well. You had

217
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: six quarterbacks over three hundred yards in Week one last year.

218
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: You had five to four hundred and change, Kirk Cousin, Stafford, Mac, Joe,

219
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: Mac Jones, Derek Carr. Folks, we're just not seeing it

220
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: this year. I mean, hell, you go to Week three

221
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: last year, Herbert four h five. Then you had Cousins, Dalton,

222
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: Andy Dalton, we'll talk about him in a little bit,

223
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo, brock Perty Tua, Russell Wilson. Yet seven in

224
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: Week three last year. We're not seeing that. The quarterback

225
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: play is bad. The injuries are a problem, and I

226
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: do believe all this money on wide receivers is taking

227
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: away from offensive lines and Folks, teams are not protecting

228
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: well like they used to. These quarterbacks are getting pummel.

229
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: Brock Perty got sacked six times by the Vikings. And

230
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: speaking of not paying, let's quickly go to the Jets

231
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: who didn't want to pay Bryce Huff. Yes, I've got

232
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: to make every podcast a little about the Jets. They

233
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: didn't want to pay Bryce so they let him go

234
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 2: to Philly and then the Jets get has Son Reddick

235
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: and return Hasson. Reddick hasn't played a down, he's not signed.

236
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: So I was watching last night and I was like, oh,

237
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: let me see Bryce Huff. Maybe he could dominate, maybe

238
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: to turn into plays like and get some ammunition to

239
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: go after the Jets. So let's see here Bryce Huff. Okay,

240
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: no pressure's no sacks in week one and in week two, Oh,

241
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: look at that, no pressure's no sacks. Like the Eagles

242
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: got him from the Jets because he was supposedly an

243
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: elite pass rusher. He hasn't done Dittai squad for the Eagles.

244
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying we have a dearth of quarterback

245
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: play right now in the league. It's just not very good.

246
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you look around. If I were to ask

247
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: you named the top ten quarterbacks in the league, I

248
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 2: don't want to go on reputation so far this year.

249
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: Like Derek Carr's in there, Kyler Murris in there. It's

250
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: only two games and not overreacting, but it's just like

251
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: the quarterback play. Sam Donald's in there. Donald would have

252
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: been a top fifteen, probably not a top twenty quarterback

253
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: coming into the season. All of a sudden, he's like

254
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: one of the best quarterbacks After two weeks, folks, they say,

255
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: wacky two weeks in the NFL. Absolutely bonkers. Here's another stant.

256
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: There have been one hundred and thirty six made field

257
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: goals so far this season and one hundred and twenty

258
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 2: four offensive touchdowns. Before Monday Night Football. There had never

259
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: been more made field goals than offensive touchdowns in the

260
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: first two weeks of the season. Never, and now it's

261
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: by a considerable amount. At there's so much happening, I

262
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: don't even I mean, I could probably do another hour

263
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: on this game. I'm just so ticked off friggin Eagles.

264
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: They listen, they cost me money and they look bad

265
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: doing it. And I'm kind of rooting for the Eagles.

266
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: You know, I lived outside of Philly for a little while.

267
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: I have a lot of Eagles on my fantasy teams.

268
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: It's just disappointing, and I don't know. I think Sirianni

269
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: really is in a dangerous spot, folks.

270
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: He is.

271
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: I mean, let me see who's up next. Oh, oh,

272
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: Eagles at Saints. Wow, that's a big game. Eagles short

273
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: week going to the hottest team in the league. Eagles

274
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: defense just got shredded by Kirk Cousins, and now they

275
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: got to face Derek Carr, a juggernaut Saints team that

276
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: has ninety one points through two weeks. Oh my, all right,

277
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: let's get to the other news in the NFL, and

278
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: that would be the benching of Carolina quarterback Bryce Young.

279
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

Speaker 1: listen live.

283
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: So Dave Canalis after the loss to the Chargers when

284
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: Young was horrific, the whole team was pretty bad. Run defense,

285
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: pass game, run, game, block everything, soup to nuts. They

286
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: were terrible. Dave Canallis comes out and says, Bryce Young

287
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: is our starting quarterback. That was Sunday afternoon evening, right,

288
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: So then presumably Canalis goes home, watches the film sees

289
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: all the anger that Adam Thielen had. Folks, there was

290
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: a couple brutal misses. At first of all, he just

291
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: missed theling open, wide open over the middle. I mean

292
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: just thelim put his hand up like there was no

293
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: safety help. It was like, oh, my gods, it might

294
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: be six if he Young even sees him. Delon kind

295
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: of looks at the sideline and rips his helmet off

296
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: out of frustration. So later in the game, Young tries

297
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: to throw a simple wide receiver screen and misses, dealing

298
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: by like three yards. It was a hospital ball that

299
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: luckily the defender wasn't close tough. It either could have

300
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: been a hospital ball for Thlan or it could have

301
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: been an interception run back for a touchdown. Either way,

302
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: Young missed the pass. Delon was just beyond himself well again,

303
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: wanted to throw his helmet, looked like he wanted to

304
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: curse it Young, but he's a pro. He held it in.

305
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: So then Canalis comes out to meet the media on

306
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Monday and says we're benching Bryce Young this week and

307
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: we're starting Andy Dalton aka the Red Rifle. They are

308
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: going to Vegas. Instantly, the game comes off the board,

309
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: right it was Raiders favor by seven. I think we

310
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: talked about it on the stray spot. Well, they pulled

311
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: the game off the board. Andy Dalton inserted as the starter.

312
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: He is thirty six. He turns thirty seven in October,

313
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: right near Halloween, and it reopens at five and a half.

314
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: Look at what that the market respecting professional veteran Andy Dalton,

315
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: who mind you, is on his third team and I

316
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 2: believe four years yeah, he was in Chicago, then the Saints,

317
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 2: and this is his second year in Carolina. And I decided,

318
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: you know what, let me just let me take a

319
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: nibble with the five and a half. I'm sure it'll

320
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: go up to six, six and a half. I probably

321
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: got a bad number whatever, but it was just a

322
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: number grab as. I don't believe the Raiders are a

323
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 2: touchdown or even close to a touchdown better than anybody

324
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: at home. Now, the problem will be for Carolina everywhere

325
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: else because they can't tackle, they can't stop the run.

326
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's not great. I mean, offensively, they

327
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: are like just a train wreck. I believe the number

328
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 2: is two for twenty two on third down. That's an emic.

329
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 2: That's that's not beating anybody.

330
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: Now.

331
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 2: To their credit, they have Phase two teams that are

332
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: unbeaten in the New Orleans Saints, who look like a

333
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: I mean they look awesome, okay, and then the Chargers

334
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: who look okay, but they're not world beaters. So you know,

335
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: and I felt bad doing this though. After Week one,

336
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: but I saw how horrific Bryce Young was in the

337
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 2: loss of the Saints, and I was like, listen, man,

338
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: he's going to be out of this league before Josh

339
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: Rosen was, you know, and Josh Rosen, of course if

340
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: you followed his career at UCLA and then he is

341
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: a tenth overall pick of the Cardinals and it just

342
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: went very, very badly and he had a you know,

343
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: double digit starts, and he's done in football. He's out

344
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: of the league. Tenth overall pick. Bryce Young is even

345
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: worse like and I feel bad for the kid because

346
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 2: this is a kid who was a much ballyhooed prospect

347
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: coming out of high school. He went to Alabama, was

348
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: excellent number one pick. And the worst part is that C. J.

349
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: Stroud is thright as the number two pick. I'm not

350
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 2: quite saying this is a Sam Bowie Michael Jordan kind

351
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: of deal, but it could end up being like that.

352
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: And I'm not comparing ToJ. Stroud to Jordan, just the

353
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: gap in between, Oh my gosh, how did you pass

354
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: on this guy? And it is funny, folks, we have

355
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: people on all throughout the draft cycle. I don't remember

356
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 2: one person, whether it was on this podcast or that

357
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: I read or watched or heard, that said Stroud should

358
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: be the number one pick over Bryce. I don't remember

359
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: one person if you can find one, and I'm not

360
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: just saying some Alabama homer who likes Bryce Young. I

361
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: don't remember one. And it really is bizarre how much

362
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: everybody missed, and that there's a bigger thing toward group

363
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: think and you know the draft evaluation process and what

364
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: we read into it, and I mean, it's crazy. Now

365
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: you watch and I'll never forget what we were doing.

366
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: The herd.

367
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: Bryce Young's first training camp and he's got the helmet

368
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: on and he's around all the offensive linemen and he

369
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 2: just look so small, like how is this going to

370
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: be an NFL quarterback? And people think, oh, he could

371
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: be a Drew Brees stick sniff Drew Brees, Are you

372
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: kidding me? And you know you see Colinmary scooting around?

373
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 2: Maybe he could be Caulambary. He's not as Culinary's look

374
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: super fast. I mean that guy can move. Bryce Young

375
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: is again, you don't want to hammer the kid because

376
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: it looks like the career is over. You don't need

377
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: to pile on folks. Bryce Young is two and eighteen

378
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: as an NFL starter, fifty nine percent completions. He has

379
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 2: eleven touchdown passes in eighteen starts. Now you contrast with

380
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: that with Stroud, who's now eleven and six twenty six touchdowns,

381
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: five picks. The passer rating gap is like thirty. I mean,

382
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: it's just it just stinks for Young, and you know

383
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: you again, I don't know that it's totally over for

384
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 2: him in the NFL, but it feels like we are

385
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: headed that way. Like I said, with the Josh Josh Rosen,

386
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: then he got multiple chances. There is a world where Carolina, listen.

387
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: When you've got an asset that's declining in value, you

388
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: could either ride it all the way to the bottom,

389
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: or you could try to offload it and get whatever

390
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: the hell you can. I kind of gotta wonder. There's

391
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: to a situation in Miami. How long does that linger?

392
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: I can tell you right now. There's they they I

393
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: think they stole Tyler Huntley from someone else's practice squad,

394
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 2: so he's now on the roster, and I'm fairly certain

395
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: they just added Tim Boyle to their practice squad. So

396
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: Miami is anteing up assuming they're gonna not have two

397
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: of for a while. Just a reminder, the NFL changed

398
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: its concussion protocol and policy after the to a situation. Okay,

399
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: they're not gonna let him go out on the field

400
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: and get another concussion here anytime soon. I would guess too,

401
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: is probably out three to four weeks. This is not educated,

402
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: no speaking with anyone plugged in. I'm just guessing at

403
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 2: least three to four weeks. And I'm sure you know

404
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: two is gonna be rear to grow go. He told

405
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: me in rapaport, I have zero interest in retiring. I'm

406
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: not even thinking about that. And you know I can

407
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 2: name m like, what is it one hundred and thirty

408
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: four million dollar, one hundred and thirty four million reasons

409
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: why he would say that. But nevertheless, like, I don't

410
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 2: know if if Mike McDaniel says I could probably make

411
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: Bryce Young work, will give you a fifth round pick,

412
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. I have no idea. It's fifth round

413
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: pick seems maybe a little high given how bad Young

414
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: has been, but somebody is going to take a chance. Remember,

415
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: we've got a lot of coaches around this league, we

416
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: got a lot of front office people who all think

417
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: I'm smarter. I could have made that work. I just

418
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 2: know more. I could have gotten that done. I could

419
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: have fixed that player. I could have you know, you

420
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: just I needed to get my hands on him. Everybody

421
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: thinks that way. That's the egos in sports. This is NBA,

422
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: NFL all across. So somebody out there, whether it's McDaniel,

423
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean Shanahan, you know. Do the

424
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: Niners say, you know what, we got Sam Darnold in

425
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 2: the system. He kind of crushed it. What can we

426
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: take a flyer on Bryce Young?

427
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't.

428
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: I'm just speculating. Get him to a smart offensive mind.

429
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: Now the contrast is, well, wait a set, Jason. The

430
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: first coach he had was Frank Reich, who was back

431
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 2: in the day, a quarterback guru. Frank Reich really really

432
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: sharp mind when it comes to quarterbacks. Okay, he couldn't

433
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: make Rice Young work. So okay, let's get to Canalis,

434
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: who you know, resurrected Baker Mayfield, resurrected Gino Smith. He's

435
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: got a rich history of fixing quarterbacks. Canalis sees two

436
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: games and says, we got a bench him. What is

437
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, do we think Bryce young, like

438
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: the light bulb is going to go off. I don't

439
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: see that, So I don't know what the future holds

440
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: for him. And it's way too early. And by the way,

441
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: nobody in the NFL thinksanking because you know, again egos

442
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: and pride and all that stuff. But you know, if

443
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: you're the Rams and things go off the rails, do

444
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 2: you say, you know what, let's not risk? I mean,

445
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: why was Stafford in the game with five minutes left

446
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: down forty one to ten, Like, you know, craziest people

447
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: do stupid things at McVeigh. That was very weird. But

448
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. Rams lose to the Niners, and this

449
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: continues to spiral. Why are you throwing Matt Stafford out

450
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: there when there's no hope? Again, the contrast, because I

451
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 2: like to do both sides, is well, wait a minute.

452
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 2: Last year they were three and six and then made

453
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs, So could we pump the brakes on tanking?

454
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: That's fine, Stafford getting up there in age. I don't know.

455
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: Is there a quarterback somebody loves in this draft? And

456
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 2: we'll get to the draft prospects. But like Carson becka Georgia,

457
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: he has not looked particularly good you expect this guy

458
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: to come out in three hundred yards. He's got the

459
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: big he looks the part straight out of Central casting

460
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: for a quarterback six four two fifteen, big arm, you know,

461
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: just looks the part. But then he gets on the

462
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: field and I haven't seen it. And I asked this

463
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 2: in the offseason, like, dude, we have like thirteen fourteen

464
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: games of data on Carson Becken. We haven't really seen it.

465
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: Why why is he being number one autumn? I don't,

466
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think he's in the discussion based

467
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: on what I've seen the season so far. So is

468
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: there even a quarterback that the Rams or Panthers would

469
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: want to restart with? And you know, it's good. This

470
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: is why the NFL just stays super interesting. We're two

471
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 2: weeks in, we have both Rams receivers really banged up,

472
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: and it sounds like Cooper Cup could go on the IR.

473
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: Pukah's Michael is already on the IR. You've got Jordan

474
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: Love already injured. You've got Bryce Young benched, You've got

475
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: the Bengals and Ravens zero to two. You've got the

476
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: Steelers two and oh with one offensive touchdown. I mean

477
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: You've got the Saints completely coming out of nowhere to

478
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 2: go to and O Seattle is two, and O Arizona

479
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: looks feisty. I mean, there's just so much craziness happening

480
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: around the league, folks. I don't ultimately know what becomes

481
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: of Bryce Young, but I can I can confidently say

482
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he's got a shot in Carolina of

483
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: like turning this around and maybe Miami emerges. I also

484
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 2: think Russell Wilson as he watches wearing shoulder pads while

485
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: inactive and wearing EyeBlack while inactive on the sideline, well, damn,

486
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: Justin Fields is getting it done. Shucks. How how on

487
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: earth am I gonna get on the field? Oh wait,

488
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: Miami has an opening for a quarterback. Yeah, let me,

489
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: let me get me to Miami.

490
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: Now.

491
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a cultural fit. I don't

492
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: know if in that offense it would work. But you know,

493
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: movement around the league, it's more fantasy football talk than anything,

494
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: because a lot of these trades rarely, rarely happen in

495
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: the NFL. But you know, it's a bummer for Bryce Young.

496
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: I just remember next time any of these pundits myself included,

497
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: come out and say, oh man, this guy is the bar.

498
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: He's amazing, this guy's a locked number one. Blah blah blah.

499
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: Just remember C J. Stroud and Bryce Yell. All right,

500
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 2: we're back tomorrow.

501
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: See you then,
