1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Mr Jones returnament ball and the balls on the ground

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: beating the second three tex it home from the touchdown side.

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: That's Collins houseo call for New England. Price you get

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: it signed that tone home for the touchdown. Jacoby Brissette,

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: not Jake Brisket getting it done for Bill Belichick and

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and the throne of ease in

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: a twenty seven to nothing Patriots victory over the Texans.

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Rosenthal. I'm here with Chris Westling. We're gonna

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: talk about the Thursday night game before previewing all the

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: week three games with Dan Hansis and Mark Sessler in

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: a bit west watching this, I felt like this is

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: one of those games I will remember as a Bill

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Belichick O file as one of his signature games as

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: a coach. Absolutely, and I for all of the back

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: padding for Bill Belichick over the past three weeks. Josh

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: McDaniels deserves as much love, taking two disparate skill sets

17
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brisett, and concocting game plans

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: this time on three days to highlight per set strength

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: hide his weaknesses against the defense. There was in the

20
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: running for best other than the Broncos, right. I think

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: the complexity that they came to this game with in

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: terms of the running game was was special. I mean,

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: there's an end around with with Martellis Bennett. There's all

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: sorts of different variations of fly sweeps. There's some counter

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: option stuff straight out of a Navy playbook. Uh. Someone

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter pointed out they lined up in a in

27
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: a single T formation for a couple of stuffs and

28
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: they're putting all this into the game plan on just

29
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: a couple of days. And while some coaches they kind

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: of have their system and they're gonna do their system,

31
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: It's like the Patriot look at what they have and

32
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: they figure out the best way to use their players.

33
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I know, it's one of your favorite canards that there

34
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: are only five or six coaches in the NFL that

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: really matter to the good and the bad, and the

36
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: rest of the league is in the middle. It's fun

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: to see coaching with a vision, a plan, and a

38
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: mode of attack versus a lot of coaches that are

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: vanilla from game to game and you know what you're

40
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: gonna get, right. And when I when I think of

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: the Patriots, I think how complimentary they are in terms

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: of the football they play. It's like you watch the

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Saints or the Dolphins, like their defense will have a

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: great game when their offense isn't very good, or vice versa.

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: And part of the reason Belichick deserves credit here is

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, their defense comes out today and they pitched

47
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: a shutout and Jacoby Brisette did great. Ultimately, he only

48
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: had to throw for a hundred and something yards and

49
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: they got to sit on the ball a little bit

50
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: in the second half because the defense didn't give up

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: a point. Well, the Texans fell right into the Patriots trap.

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: They came out and the cover to daring Oswater to

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: throw deep or basically daring them to run because they're

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: taking the deep all away, right, And then the Texans

55
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: responded with a hyper conservative game plan that included several

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: runs on third and long where they just didn't seem

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: to trust us while or not to throw the ball

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: up for grabs. They gave. They had to give up

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: third and twenty, and it was the game was over

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: at that point. But to watch them give up and

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: a third and eight in the first quarter, they had

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: a third and five along the way, well, I think

63
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: Osweiler was a little scrambled by what he was seeing.

64
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: They're a team that usually gets crazy, and I don't

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: think they really got crazy on defense in this game.

66
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: But he wasn't willing to go down the field. Then

67
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: he did try to jam one in and my boy,

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Jamie Collins makes a big interception. Collins. Collins has been

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: incredible the last couple of games. Well, we both mentioned

70
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: that when he came in he was a athletic and

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: dynamic as any linebacker. You'll see he's doing backward handsprings.

72
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Now he's jacked. He's much bigger physically and tougher and

73
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: cleans up the run game better. And they're and they're fast.

74
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think this means that Osweiler is a

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: bad quarterback. You know, he does have more interceptions because

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: six interceptions in his last four games going back to

77
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: last year. He's got clearly got a long delivery and

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: he's slowed the process in the pocket. I think those

79
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: are things they're gonna stay with him. He has more

80
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: interceptions this year than touchdown drives. You know, they only

81
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: have three touchdowns on offense. Right they have too much talent.

82
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: The offensive line has been a problem. They don't open

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: holes for Lamar Miller and Will Fuller for his as

84
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: much of a playmaker as he is, every week he

85
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: drops a path he does Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler

86
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: both had great games. The Patriots are faster on defense.

87
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: Chris Long has been a good pick up that that's

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: all great, but I still take a step back, and

89
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: I know, you know, look, Mark and Dan, they're sending

90
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: tweets out, They're sending texts, they're sending messages on our

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: instant messenger client which will not be named, and they're

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: trying to make me I don't know there. It's almost

93
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: like they want me to feel guilty or bad about

94
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: enjoying this Patriots team. Has been a three pronged deteck

95
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: from Mark Sessler in the last half an hour Twitter

96
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: text and our inter office messaging client, which has these

97
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: three lines writes your pretty articles about the Patriots. What

98
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: a joke gonna fly on white wine? Nothing left for

99
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: clowns who follows teams. Love Mark, but you know what,

100
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna not enjoy this um

101
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: And that might sound like a Throne of East type statement,

102
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: but you know it would be even more insulting on

103
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: the throne of EASTA not appreciate what's going on here

104
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: with Bill Belichick and this team. Not just early this

105
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: early this season, this has been one of the more

106
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: fun things to watch, but just in general that you're watching.

107
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, they were joking on NFL Network they should rename,

108
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: you know, the Lombardi Trophy the Belichick Trophy. That's a joke.

109
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: But as someone that loves football, and of course I'm

110
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: wildly lucky it's my team. This is one of the greatest,

111
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: if not the greatest coaches of all time, and he's

112
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of this run and he just keeps

113
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: topping himself. And every time you think they've got a

114
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: little too much against him, they do something like drop

115
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: twenty seven and nothing on a two and no team.

116
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: And if you can't enjoy that, then you can't enjoy football. Well,

117
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: he was already regarded as the greatest coach in the

118
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: twenty first century, but you have to I it occurred

119
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: to me that Tom Brady suspension is the best thing

120
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: to happen to Bill Belichick's legacy. There's a new round

121
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: of like recognition of how great he is over the

122
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: past three weeks. It also got me thinking about you know,

123
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: some day Tom Brady will retire and I don't I

124
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: don't know if Bill Belizick will retire then, but you

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: know it makes you think, obviously, Tom Brady is maybe

126
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all time. But you know you're

127
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: not gonna count out Bill Belichick from doing some special

128
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: things after Tom Brady has gone. Why would you now?

129
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: And and I really believe you have to emphasize Josh

130
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: McDaniels and Matt Patricia. This is an entire coaching staff

131
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: really putting it together. And mc daniels has been brilliant.

132
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: He's gone, he's that he's gonna be coaching another team

133
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: next year. We're gone two because we got to talk

134
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: about some Week three games other than this twenty seven

135
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: to nothing shell lacking. So uh, let's send it over

136
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: to Dan Hansis to the tune of my favorite song

145
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: talked about his shirt on the last show, another autumnal

00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: very uh season like production by Address addresses to the seasons.

147
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: That's it. Bottom line has been decided. Doesn't everyone there

148
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: are no seasons here? No, I don't we wear the

149

Speaker 1: year round. What you do? What you just heard At

151
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,560

Speaker 1: and Greg Rosenthal, the scientists of the Houston, New England game,

153
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: where they got an up close look at Mr Jake Brisket,

154
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: slice me off a piece of that Jake Bristy. Oh my? Uh?

155
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: Can we go now? Is that? It can? Just there's

156
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: that game, But there are a lot to talk about.

157
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: We've already reached now week three. Isn't it funny how

158
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: things just start flying once the season gets going. We

159
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: have again teams sixteen games one already played. That means

160
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: fifteen games. That means thirty teams to talk about. Wow, uh,

161
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: so we'll go We're all the Sunday games and of

162
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: course the Monday night game. Oh, my god, there's another

163
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: primetime game with the Bears involved. It was a disastrous

164
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: give the people what they want. It was a disastrous

165
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: thought by the NFL. Is it too late to flex

166
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: out of that? Can we do something as a society

167
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: to stop the Bears from playing in front of Al

168
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Chris and the world. Well, from a personal angle, you

169
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: could just skip it entirely. What what's forcing you to

170
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: watch it? I'm thinking about quitting my job. Well, we're here.

171
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: We have to take a podcast that right afterwards talking

172
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: about that game, so that not all of us. Uh So, yes,

173
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: a lot to get to. We're gonna go through all

174
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: the games, we're gonna touch in on the Team of

175
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: a t L. We're gonna talk about our locks of

176
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: the week. So much stuff to get to. Uh So,

177
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: why don't we dig right in, gentlemen and start with

178
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: the games at one o'clock Eastern time? And the first

179
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: one up? Speaking of the Team of a t L,

180
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: A lot of people threw this out there as a

181
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: possibility um to be kind of like a loser goes

182
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: Home type match in the Team of as the Oakland

183
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: Raiders heading to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans, the Raiders, who,

184
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: of course the old Zeuser had nominated, the Titans who

185
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: West nominated, and as we said, um and wait, let

186
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 1: me take just take a second here. I want to

187
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: apologize to both everyone in this room and the listeners.

188
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the reason why the Team

189
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: of a t L goes away. I want to keep

190
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: this together and Mark what I want to ask of

191
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: you now, You're gonna support the Vikings no matter what

192
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: the season, but can we at least for the for

193
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: the for the sake of unity here, can you use

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings as your official entrance entrance for the Team

195
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: of a t L nominations so that it's just rejected

196
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: by the three of you. No, I didn't, there's no

197
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: there's no note. We're not going to vote until after

198
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: the third week of games. And even I mean, it's

199
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: received more support publicly than the Buccaneers and I'm sticking

200
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: with them. Listen, in the sake of being cooperative, I

201
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: will consider it, Okay, I mean okay, because I just

202
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't want there are a lot of people that

203
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: that like the Team of at L and what what

204
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: can happen even if the Vikings don't get it, Mark,

205
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: they could be your team because all this and we'll

206
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: get to it, all the stuff going on with the Browns.

207
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: You deserve to have a secondary team this year more

208
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: than anybody, but just to have some structure involved. Would

209
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: you mind just subbing in for the Bengals the Vikings. Yes, again,

210
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: all considered. I think one thing that's happening is that

211
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: Gregg has removed so many segments from the show that

212
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't want another one to float away, So there

213
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: is some pull there. I do care about the listeners.

214
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: That's fair. Can you stop removing you You are the

215
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: two trying to kill the segment last time. Now now

216
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: you pointing fingers. I just said I I came to

217
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: the group just now and I said, I'm sorry. I

218
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: want to make sure. I want to make this park,

219
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: continuing the process. Don't worry. We've got Lock of the

220
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: Week all the segments can That's another thing. We'll get

221
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: to that. Um, it's getting more and more difficult to

222
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: deal with the personalities of the pod guests. I think

223
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: we might this could be the beginning of the end,

224
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: but we're gonna soldier on at least the season. And

225
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: let's get back now to Oakland at Tennessee and UH

226
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: to one and one. Team's two teams with problems. The

227
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders Mark can't stop anybody on defense, and the

228
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, well, they're lucky to have a win because

229
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: they haven't looked very good at all. Well, maybe this

230
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: is a get well game for Tennessee. You're at home,

231
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: and I know, Chris that for you the Titans, you

232
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: weren't too excited about him last week, but you know

233
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: this is a young bloom is off the road young group.

234
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: Though teams do not get formed in one or two

235
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: weeks in the NFL, and I emerging you to not

236
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: give up on them as your handidate for team of

237
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: a t L because this coming out of Sunday, if

238
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: they have a win in there, two in one, look,

239
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: the Titans still have work to do, but I think

240
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: this can still be a fun offense. My biggest issue

241
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans through two games is that Mike

242
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: Malarkey took all the fun out of Marcus Mariota's gy

243
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: Do they miss Ken Wizzen Hunt? I know that's that

244
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: that seems weird to think, but Ken Wizzen out there

245
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: in a nice job with San Diego. Right now, Marcus Mariotta,

246
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: let's call the Peter Princess slow to me in terms

247
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: of his decision making. Now, maybe that's because he has

248
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: all these new wide receivers, but he's taken a long

249
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: time to decide who he's gonna throw too. And when

250
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: you are taking that long and you don't go deep

251
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: down the field, that's tough to overcome. Well, he went

252
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: deep down the fail one time to Delaney Walker for

253
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: a thirty yard touchdown. But that's not nearly enough. You're right.

254
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: Also was intercepted on a deep throw. Yes, he's tried.

255
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: He did finish the last game out well, nine for

256
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: nine and two clutch drives to win a game. Can't

257
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: they look at all? Right, how did we run our

258
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: offense when we finally got going? I know, but Larkey'

259
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: is not uh you know, Bill Belichick back there. But

260
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: it can't be that complicated. What's been working, what's not

261
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: work working? Let's move on to week three and get

262
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: things going here. There's enough talent and a potentially dynamic,

263
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: game changing quarterback. Let's figure this out. Guys. Here's what

264
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: worked Injure. All of the Lions defensive players didn't go

265
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: nine for nine. Wow, you're down on the Titan so

266
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: could they don't deserve much love for that? For that game? Great,

267
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: they had a good game, winning draw. Couldn't you should

268
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: allow it to have a different team of do you

269
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: want to pull the Titans out of conversation? I kind

270
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: of like the loser goes home match, but I like

271
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: the loser goes home match, and I I feel like

272
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: this room is not taking the Texan seriously as team

273
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: of a TV. All right, we will get to the Texans.

274
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: So they're Oakland at Tennessee. A game to watch between

275
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: two teams who a lot of hype going into the season.

276
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: Let's see someone's gonna be one and two in a

277
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: bad spot heading into week four. Moving on, gentlemen, the

278
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings on their teams and bad spots and their

279
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: teams are good spots of Vikes in a very good

280
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: spot at least record wise. Now too and oh after

281
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: a very impressive win over the Packers on Sunday Night football,

282
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: but of course got terrible news um on Wednesday when

283
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: it became official that Adrian Peterson's knee injury, which at

284
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: first there was some reports and it's always annoying when

285
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: injuries reported this way, it's like, oh, it's a tour

286
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: in meniscus, actually good news. It's like nobody knows what

287
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: they're talking about, because what actually happened was they weren't

288
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: shaving the meniscus. They have to repair the thing. There's

289
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: a bucket tear involved, there's an lcloved. He jacked up

290
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: his knee bad. So he is out. What they say

291
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: is four six months, and we know his ability to heal.

292
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time you have to think, uh, well,

293
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: there's a chance we've seen the last of Adrian Peterson

294
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: in and maybe with the Vikings in general. So now

295
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: without Teddy Bridgewater, without Adrian Peterson, they head to Charlotte

296
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: to face the Panthers one in one. They put their

297
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: Week one loss behind them, got healthy and a blowout

298
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: win in Week two, and now here we are Greg Rosenthal.

299
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: The Panthers, to me again, are in a very good

300
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: spot here at home. I I don't know if I'll

301
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: pick against them once at home this season. I haven't

302
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: looked at their schedule, but I just think that they're

303
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: very tough to beat, and that offense looks close to unstoppable.

304
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: They do but they started the game slow against San Francisco,

305
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: and this is easily their toughest matchup. Well that's not sure.

306
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: They played Denver in Week one, but this is a

307
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: very tough matchup in the NFC by a defense that

308
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: we think is good enough to to win these types

309
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: of games. So I'm not counting out the Vikings in

310
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: any game that But if you're the Vikings, this lines

311
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: up as a pure said tests because you're on the

312
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: road against one of the best home teams around, and

313
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: you want to talk about It's what we talked about

314
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: on Tuesday with the Panthers, the matchup issue. When you've

315
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: got Calvin Benjamin, Devin Funchius, Greg Olsen and a decent

316
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: running game, no matter who's in there, it seems this

317
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: is gonna test Minnesota's Mike Zimmerlet defense from start to finish.

318
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: I think it's an acid test to see if they

319
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: are emerging as an NFC superpower or if they're still

320
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: in that might be a wild card. Might shown is

321
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: a close race in their division, but maybe not. Can't

322
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: hang with the best teams in the in the conference.

323
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Well it's early for them and they have some big problems.

324
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean They just lost not only Adrian Peterson, they

325
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: lost Matt Khalil, who was not playing well, but he

326
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: was still your starting left tackle. Their offensive line was

327
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: terrible against Green Bay. They they won a game where

328
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford got knocked around where Adrian Peterson left the

329
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: game and it wasn't running well anyway. So this is

330
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: a team that they can't survive. They can't expect, say

331
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: Bradford to be that good anticipate throws and survive a

332
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: bad offensive, and that's what happened to him last year.

333
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: They lost one lineman after the next Well we heard

334
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: that there this is a malling group, but you know

335
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: they're kind of built to mall people. Well, where's the

336
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: running game right now? It hasn't been there for Peterson.

337
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon's going to start. He's maybe he's a better

338
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: player on third down than Peterson. At this point, Asiata

339
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: is in there, the son Ronnie Hillman. I'm not really

340
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: worried about the backfield. I'm more worried about Greg Rosenthal Colon.

341
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: Where's the malling Peterson? No, I'm not saying that on

342
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: third downs. They They've said it with their playing calls

343
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: in general. They believe McKinnon is a better player on

344
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: their Adrian Peterson called McKinnon a physical freak. I mean,

345
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: we have to see that happen. Xavier Rhodes might return

346
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: for this game. So you mentioned matching up. There's a

347
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: physical cornerback that could can maybe match up with those

348
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: Panthers receivers. Mark the Vikings are maybe potentially your team

349
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: of a t L entry. Do you see them coming

350
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: out of this game three? Though? Well, I'm gonna say

351
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: yes because I fully believe this team. It's time for

352
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: angos onions why not? I mean, I'm yeah, typically wrong

353
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: on every pick that I make, so it doesn't mean

354
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: anything to the team, but I'll say yes, go win it. Ever,

355
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: Saint Griffin getting after it, They're all getting after why not? Um, alright, guys,

356
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: let's move on now. And uh, we're just talking about

357
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. Earlier we mentioned them and now they

358
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: are two and oh as well they had had to Cincinnati.

359
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: This is, uh, to me, one of the games I

360
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: like most about this week. The Broncos at the Bengals,

361
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: who are one and one. A tough loss against the

362
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Steelers in a you know, a game that's always a

363
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: battle and now they got Denver, so that's quite a

364
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: one two punch. Chris Westling, what were your thoughts and

365
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: your takeaways out of Cincinnati's performance against Pittsburgh. Two takeaways.

366
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: They are five and six and their last eleven games

367
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: and starting eight no list year. Are we sure there's

368
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: still one of the anfc's best team. That's takeaway number one?

369
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: Number two, they're off in to line didn't get as

370
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: much attention as Dallas as last season, but they were

371
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: as rock solid as any offensive line in the NFL.

372
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: They are. They have allowed the most sacks in the

373
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: league this year through two games, and they have not

374
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: rushed for more than sixty yards in a game in

375
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: either games, which that's only happened once in the last

376
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: two years before this season. So as the offensive line

377
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: and issue, and if it is, this is the defensive

378
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: line to take advantage of right Derek Wolf having a

379
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: big game. Uh, Shane Ray had a big game last week.

380
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: This that you're right, they did not look the same

381
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: if you think about that Jets game. For a Bengals

382
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: offensive line to get dominated that much is not something

383
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: we saw all of last This is a team that

384
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: spent high draft picks on multiple lineman last year, and

385
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: part of that five and six record is attached to

386
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: a J. McCarron in the lineup. But it's fair to

387
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: ask because every season it seems like coaches and players

388
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: are pulled from the Bengals and they keep it going.

389
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: At some point that's going to start to cost you,

390
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: and maybe we're starting to see it now. I think

391
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: you're all good points about Cincinnati. I still think they're

392
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: a really good team, and I think they're gonna uh,

393
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna hold court against the Broncos. I think Denver's

394
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: uh do for a loss. I think Trevor Simeon is

395
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: gonna struggle big time on the road in Cincinnati, and

396
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the key of the game.

397
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm so confident. In fact, listen up, I will make

398
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals my Week two look of the Week Banngals

399
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: winning some football games on Sunday, multiple games. One. What

400
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: what led you to this conclusion? I just said, I

401
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: just explain it to you. I like the but I

402
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: think they're better than maybe the rest of the room

403
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: right now, even though they have not played too well

404
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: to start the season, and I don't think Trevor Simeon

405
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: is gonna play well in this spot, and that's gonna

406
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: be the differences. It's Denver's first road game, and I

407
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: think that's something that's notable. It's ben It's the Bengals

408
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: first home game, so that you know, they went one

409
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: and one and one ultimately with a tough two game

410
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: road trip or whatever you want to call it to

411
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: start the season, teams do play. I want to see

412
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: Trevor Simmons in a game where he faces is a

413
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: little more pressure that last game against Indianapolis. As West

414
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: said on Sunday night, you can sort of throw it

415
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: out for him. He didn't do poorly, but he barely

416
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: had to do anything. He didn't face any pass rush

417
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: whatsoever against Indianapolis. So this is a bigger test for

418
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: the Denver offense going on the road against what should

419
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: be a pretty good Bengals defense. That's my prediction. This

420
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: is the Trevor Simeon comes down to Earth game. Doesn't

421
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: mean they're in trouble, but you know, two and one

422
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: after three weeks there, Okay, where was he before? Up

423
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: in the skies? In your mind? I think in the

424
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: public opinion, they they have solved their issue. They have

425
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: this workman like QB and he still might be shown

426
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: a lot of good things in two weeks, but I

427
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a tough week for him and

428
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna be missing some key players. Donald Donald Stevenson,

429
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: the right tackle. When he went out of that game

430
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: last week, it hurt him. He's not expected to play.

431
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: Virgil Green, who has kind of been a find at

432
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: tight end, he's not expected to play. They're gonna have

433
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: to roll out Jeff Herman. Uh. I don't think it's

434
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: played a SI for then since he was drafted in

435
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: the third round last year. So a tight end Beijing.

436
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: Mr Herman, you have a phone call at the front desk.

437
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: I believe it's Jeff Hireman. Hireman page. Mr Hireman, you

438
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: have a phone call at the front desk. Move and

439
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: be blamed for not knowing his name because he's injured.

440
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: Has literally never played a single snap. And the Broncos defense,

441
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: they're crazy how many defensive backs they played. Six of

442
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: them played forty snaps last week. But if you're a

443
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: p announcer and you say that you did, it's not

444
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: your fault. But in that in that actual building, that

445
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: P announcer. You're that's that's a public gap. You'd be

446
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, points taken away on you am I alone

447
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: on an island here or the Cincinnati pick was curious.

448
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: This was my team of ah, yelled couple you weeks

449
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: ago before I found a real I would not make them,

450
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I would take the Bengals in a

451
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: in a tight one, I'm going Denver. I'll take the

452
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: Bengals at home. Moving on the Detroit Lions with Jim

453
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: Bob Cooter at offensive coordinator. By the way, you know

454
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: your boy. We talked about it. We've talked about it

455
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: and I've shared I've shared this guy with you guys privately,

456
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: but also I've said it into a mike, so it's

457
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: pretty public. I like this Cooter and I'm not alone

458
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: for president. Because there is a meme growing out of

459
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: the Detroit area in the surrounding communities, Jim Bob Cooter

460
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: for President. You're seeing it on the back of vans,

461
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: You're seeing on T shirts. UH Tarrell Austin, their defensive coordinator,

462
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: UH ended a press conference on Thursday by saying Jim

463
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: Bob for president. UH. Coonter was asked about it during

464
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: his press conference, um Jim Caldwell said today when asked

465
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: about it, well, he definitely win the Southern States, which

466
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: actually checks out. Jim Caldwell made a funny. You know,

467
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: Cooter is doing something right. When he makes Caldwell funny,

468
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: he would immediately become the best presidential candidate West Coast political.

469
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: But actually you want to hear you know, if you

470
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: want to be serious about it, the Cooter he's only

471
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: thirty two years old, not even eligible to be a

472
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: president until well, he needs to accrue more knowledge about

473
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: our nation. Gotta be at least thirty five year old

474
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: overseas listeners uh to be the president anyway. So the

475
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: Lions are one in one, but they're fun one in one.

476
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: Everybody's excited a Mira Abdula for the year with or

477
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: on two I r with a foot injury, which sucks.

478
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: We don't know if we're gonna see him again. But

479
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: so they're missing that running back and as a playmaker,

480
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: but they still have Matthew Stafford and a high octane

481
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: passing game. They had to Green Bay Greg Rosenthal to

482
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: face the Packers, who have not been themselves in the

483
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: number of This is the stat of the week that

484
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: everyone is saying over and over again, Aaron Rodgers, the

485
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: best quarterback on the planet, or so we think, has

486
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: not had a one hundred passing rating game, uh in

487
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: fourteen games. I thought you were gonna try it out.

488
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: The I've seen as a meme a lot of Aaron

489
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: Rodgers versus Blaine Gabber over the last sixteen games or

490
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: ten games. And there you guys are like, you know,

491
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: official meme. So you know what, that's all gonna come

492
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: crashing down this week because if the Packers can't get

493
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: healthy at home against this lousy Lions defense who's missing

494
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: a ton of players, it's never gonna happen. But the

495
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: Packers players I could, but it's not an option there too.

496
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: They're too easy of of a pick this week. The

497
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: Lions haven't had Ziggyanza at practice. They missed him all

498
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: of last week. DeAndre Levy, who knows if he's gonna

499
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: play again. They've got some depth issues at linebacker. They're

500
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: trotting out guys like Kyle van Noy who hasn't really

501
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: played for them, Wallace Gilberry plane starter Snaps Copeland, Tavon Wilson,

502
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: who was like the eighth safety for the Patriots is

503
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: now a playing starter. Step This is a talent poor

504
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: defense that I think they coach up pretty well with

505
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: Tara Austin, But the Packers players are just so much better.

506
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: They should get healthy. It's a shame for the lines

507
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: because after the first week they look like a team

508
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: that could be kind of frisky this year. And then,

509
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: like you say, you lose As and Levy, they're two

510
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: best players, and and they don't have a lot of

511
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: guy you mentioned Carry Hyder, who we've we've kind of

512
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching an undrafted rookie who's played about as well

513
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: as any defensive player in the snaps that that he's played.

514
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: I think they still could be fun to watch though,

515
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: because Marvin Jones and Matt I think Matthew Staffords played

516
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: two really good games. I know it didn't quite show

517
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: up in the in the stats last week, but I

518
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: think he's looking good. That you mentioned Rogers and his numbers,

519
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: and everyone's talking about this all week long, but it

520
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: has a lot to do as we've talked about for

521
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: over a season, with what's been around him on offense.

522
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm not ready with this. Aaron Rodgers is no longer

523
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: He's overrated at this point. Give me a break. I mean,

524
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: can I just say something because that I read a

525
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: piece and on the Ringer Danny Kelly, I believe it

526
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: was where he made that same point, this idea that

527
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: Rogers has had his weapons stripped away, and I get it.

528
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not as good offense as it was in

529
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven when of the m v P, or

530
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when he wanted again. But

531
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: there's still weapons on this team. I mean, Jordy Nelson,

532
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: even if not is a guy that a lot of

533
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: teams would love to have. Randall Cobb is a guy

534
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: a lot of teams would love to have. Uh, the

535
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy, even if we don't think he's fully Eddy Lacy,

536
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: there are weapons here and an offensive line that can block.

537
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we're always a little bit. I think we are.

538
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: The offensive line has played great this year. I think

539
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: we're letting Mike McCarthy off the hook and that that

540
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: has been a popular topic in Green Bay this week.

541
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: They had four straight drives last week where they didn't

542
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: change the personnel once, not the formations that personnel. Everything

543
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: is lining up the same. They basically run out the

544
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: same exact guys for seventy plus percent of their snaps,

545
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: the same exact formation, the same exact lineup. And it's

546
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: like they've been running that offense for too long and

547
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: you always got to evolve. And I think there's a

548
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: question of whether that Mike McCarthy, so you think teams

549
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: are legitimately from a strategy angle catching up or have

550
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: caught up to the Packers. Well, he's averaged six point

551
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: five yards per tempt for the last year, So yes,

552
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: everyone's looking for an explanation. They run an is isolation

553
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: route offense, which means the receivers are isolated against defensive backs,

554
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: and receivers can't win those battles because they don't separate. Uh,

555
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: let's move on, gentlemen. The Baltimore Ravens are two and oh.

556
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: You can argue they're the worst two and o team

557
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: right now. Uh. They got by the Bills at home

558
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: in the Week one and then basically stole one from

559
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: the Browns. Uh. You give him credit for coming back

560
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: from twenty nothing, but still, h they're very lucky, lucky

561
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: to be undefeated at this point and they head to Jacksonville. Mark,

562
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the Jaguars their seasons on the line. Here,

563
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: they're in their building against the two and O team

564
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: that's really uh two and oh, but not a powerhouse

565
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: in this league. You better win this game. Mark the

566
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: Jacks cannot fall flat for a third straight week. Well,

567
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: you know, I think what we've talked about with the

568
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars all along is that this extra season that this

569
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: regime got was based on the idea of it is

570
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: time to you know, turn on the engine and show

571
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: Caldwell has drafted very good players, players with a lot

572
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: of potential. It falls on it here, That's what we're hearing.

573
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it falls on Gus Bradley to to

574
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: go out and produce a game where the coach obviously

575
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: had a massively positive impact. And I don't have a

576
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: problem with Baltimore winning some ugly games early in the year,

577
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: but Jacksonville absolutely needs to take this thing. And it's like,

578
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: even by shows some of the elements that you were

579
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: last season, the offense last week totally Allen Robinson taken

580
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: out of that game. What happened to the Allen Robinson

581
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: that we saw even during the preseason. He's got to

582
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: show up against balt Moore's defense, and if you look

583
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: at what Cleveland did and I realized that was a

584
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: class a ridiculous loss for the Browns. But for a

585
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: period of time and even late in the game when

586
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Josh McCown was hurt, he was still picking up big

587
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: chunks of real estate throwing the ball down field. That's

588
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars like to do. So I think this

589
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: is maybe a good matchup for the Jaguars to get

590
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: back on track. We've been strong, We're just playing by

591
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: the rules whatever. Lady Eric Wettle has played well, Charise

592
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: Wright has played really well in run support. But you're

593
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: right the Browns Corey Coleman got healthy against against the

594
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: Ravens defensive backs and Alan Robinson, who has not played

595
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: well this year. He's also played a couple of good cornerbacks,

596
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: but he's got to get healthy against Jimmy Smith. Yeah,

597
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: he didn't seem like in Week one. I thought he

598
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: was particularly different than normal. But talking about the importance

599
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: of this game, Dan, you know, one of their beat

600
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: writers thought it, this is the biggest game of this

601
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: regime's tenure, which that makes sense, but you think about it,

602
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: not only not only do they need to avoid o

603
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: in three. They're going to London next week, which is

604
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: supposed to be one of their home games. They do

605
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: it every year. Do you want to be going there again?

606
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: Now it's for the fourth or fifth straight year. You're

607
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: going there? Oh and three? Uh, you failed to build

608
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: up any excitement. And when you talked about Gus Bradley

609
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: needs to make a statement that really resonated because this

610
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: is a guy. Last week they were pushed around. I

611
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: mean they were dominated physically on both sides of the ball,

612
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: especially on their defensive side. I mean San Diego just

613
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: mauled them. The lane that Danny Woodhead it's a mall

614
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: type of show. That lanes that Danny Woodhead and Melvin

615
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: Gordon had to run through were unbelievable. And this and

616
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: they're missing players this week. I think they're missing two

617
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: of their three top cornerbacks. They're missing Kelvin Beacham, They're

618
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: missing Jet Jared Odrick. This is a banged up Jaguars

619
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: team right now. Well, you mentioned that the general manager

620
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: has done a good job of acquiring talent, and Jalen

621
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: Ramsey looks like the real deal. Yes, But the other

622
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: guy they drafted who was built as a top five

623
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: talent Miles Jack has played sixteen snaps this year over

624
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: two games, so he's not even really playing. And the

625
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: one thing I I understand the concept of more patients

626
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars infuriates people at this point. But you

627
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: are talking about a very young defense with a lot

628
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: of first and second year players who have played together

629
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: for a hundred and twenty minutes, and then there's players

630
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: like Jack that have even less snaps. So it is

631
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: a little bit ridiculous to ask that defense to completely mesh,

632
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: but you don't want to give up thirty one point.

633
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: I think what happened last week is the reverse of

634
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Week one, when we came out saying, listen, you showed

635
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: up against the Packers and that was progress in its

636
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: own right. Everything that happened in week one got dashed

637
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: last Sunday. Here's the thing. Their offense has had two

638
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: pretty lack lust their games. Blake Bordles mimed receivers last week.

639
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: His his clock management and like all the intangible types

640
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: of things that we talk about, Carson Wentz like, you

641
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: don't see that with Blake Bortles. He makes some mental errors.

642
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: Can I say the streets are talking streets talking about

643
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: Blake Bords. What are the streets saying? Streets is saying,

644
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: what's going on with this guy? Is this guy you

645
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: know what the Jaguars think he is because he's been

646
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: again they're getting blown out early in these games. The

647
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: streets say he can only move the offense when it's

648
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: garbage time. Like I remembering the podcast, it sounds like

649
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: the streets know what their streets means. That's that's the

650
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: buzz up people are at their time. Also an underrated

651
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: unders also a British rapper, right underrated early two thousands

652
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: British rapper. Remember you remember you? Uh you were getting

653
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: crazy at the end of the first half of that

654
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: Jaguars game. What the heck happened to them last week?

655
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: And they didn't know what to do? That to me

656
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: was borders in a nutshell right now, taking a sack

657
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: when they absolutely couldn't take one, not being kind of aware,

658
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: and then the coaching staff sort of just giving up

659
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: on the half after that point, well and then the

660
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: past with time running out, you throw a pass, you know,

661
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: backwards basically instead of ramping it downfield. I think the

662
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars bounced back though that they get a win better.

663
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: Moving on well, speaking of geez al right, so the

664
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns are own too, And a quick rundown here

665
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: of what's happened to the Browns in the past fifteen days.

666
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz beat the Browns. R. G three heard his shoulder,

667
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: went to I R. Josh McCown heard his shoulder. Uh,

668
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: he's out for weeks. Carson Wentz beat the Bears, people

669
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: saying he's an offensive Brookie of your favorite. Big Ben

670
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: says he's surprised the Browns passed on Carson Wentz. Josh

671
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: Gordon got a rest warrant issue, although that was cleared.

672
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: Corey Colman broke his hand in practice, Carl Nassa broke

673
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: his hand. Carl Cameron Irving was raised to the hospital

674
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: with a bruise lung. And yes, the Browns blue at

675
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: twenty point lead in Week two. I have exclusive mark

676
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: Um footage or audio reel of an official front office

677
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: official with the Browns speaking with the football gods. I mean,

678
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: this is really good stuff here. It only here on

679
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL podcast. Oh oh boy. It raises

680
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: on this metaphysical clash between Cleveland and the people upstairs.

681
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: What's going on Mark, where's your head at? I know

682
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: it was a um A tough couple of days for you,

683
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: and you floated away on Twitter a couple of days

684
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: this week and everyone gets it. Yeah. I feel kind

685
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: of just in a weird place as a human being

686
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. But the Brown situation not really helping.

687
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: Um I I the only thing right now that I

688
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: think that Browns fans can look at. Not the only thing,

689
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: but it's the Hugh Jackson. Uh, We've seen so many

690
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: coaches here that he came out today and he said,

691
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: if you think that I'm gonna let this make me

692
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: panic and I'm gonna go crazy and set that kind

693
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: of example for the for the locker room, you forget

694
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: about it. He's like, I've been here before. I'm not

695
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: gonna get freaked out by injured players, and look at

696
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna be tested further and further. But I do

697
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: think that inside the organization, I want to think that

698
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: they are there's a resolve to just see see this through,

699
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: that it's not just blow everything up after this season,

700
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: and that's the hope. Well, he talks a good game,

701
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson. He does when some people don't buy into

702
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: you think it might just be all talk or this

703
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: is a guy drafts Cody Kessler and after the draft

704
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: he says, you've got to trust me on this one.

705
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: Then we watch Carson Wentz have two very impressive games

706
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: and it looks like Cody Kessler isn't ready to play.

707
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I trust Hugh Jackson. Well, we're

708
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: gonna see Cody Kessler against the Dolphins on Sunday. And

709
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: you talked about teams that are desperate. The Dolphins lost

710
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: the heartbreaker to Seattle on the road in Week one,

711
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: and then the score doesn't look that way, but they

712
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: got their doors blown off by the Pats with Garoppolo

713
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: uh and Jake brisket Uh. Jake brisket I said, wherever

714
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: you get the chance, slice Jake Briskey. So what are

715
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You gotta win if you're Miami. So

716
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: the Browns are in a tough spot here because whenever

717
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: you're on the road in Week three against an ode

718
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: and two team that's not dreadful, which I don't think

719
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are dreadful, it's gonna be that's a tough

720
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: hill to climb. Well, one point, I would love Alex

721
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: for Gola downstairs to just read audio books to me

722
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: for years on an end that voice. Uh, but yeah,

723
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 1: if you talked about we just talked about another Florida

724
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: teen that had a must win scenario here in Jacksonville.

725
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: But if Miami ever lost a game with Code Kessler,

726
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: who looked terrified during portions of the sideline. Uh, you

727
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: know when they photographed him on the sideline last week?

728
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: What is happening in Miami? If you can't take care

729
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: of the Browns, they have to and they will. Yeah,

730
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: they need to. They're gonna be without Arian Foster. Their

731
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: offense needs to show something this week. You would think

732
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: that their defense could mostly control Cody Kessler. Pit is

733
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: going to be thrown chairs. That doesn't happen. Pit You

734
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: think he's got to be an up start in the

735
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: in the press box, Well, he's in the front office

736
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins. Who's not in the front I don't

737
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: think pit Ball is really in there. It just seems

738
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: like he should be. He was scout. He's too busy

739
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: closing out every nationally televised like fireworks show. Very busy guy.

740
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: What do the Browns are running out of reasons for hope?

741
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: This season? They're mowing them down one by one. Corey

742
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: Coleman to me, was reason number one and Carl Nassa

743
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: was reason number two. Yeah, well, well look at you

744
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: and say, I'm not again not trying to keep me.

745
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses for the Browns. But for the

746
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: first time in a while, it's like you drafted two

747
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: good players, So that's progress. But then if they're not

748
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: on the field. The unfield thing this year you're in Cleveland,

749
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: it's almost not at Hey, let's look at the when

750
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: the w n L. Each week, you're gonna lose a

751
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: ton of games. I think Q That's why I think

752
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: you is the right guy, because I think this is

753
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: a different sort of situation where it's almost like a

754
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: college team that you're trying to rebuild the program and

755
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: that endless almost I don't know what the naive positivity

756
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: is your best hope at getting you through the tough

757
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: times and getting you to the next part. Means nothing

758
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: if you decide that Cody Keussler is the guy you'd

759
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: rather have instead of Carson Wentz. To West's point, they're

760
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: under a ton of pressure, like we talked about earlier

761
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: this week, because of every Brown's loss. You've also have

762
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: to the other side. The coin is Carson Wentz destroying

763
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: teams on national television. It does not. It's not a

764
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: good optical look. All right, Let's move on, guys in

765
00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: NFC East matchup the Washington Redskins. Oh it to house

766
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: is on fire. Um, I you know, Jake Ruden. I

767
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: don't know if Jake Rudon's gonna have a job attended.

768
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: I got a feeling if things go really luckily, there

769
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: could be. Yeah, a little bit of a hot butt.

770
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: Sit just took them from last year. I'm saying anybody

771
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: could have taken any team in the NFC East from

772
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: worst to first. Tell that to Tom Coughlin. I'm just

773
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: saying that ownership there, that ownership there, you never know.

774
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: And uh, Jake Ruden had this to say, by the way,

775
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: because they're, you know, the streets talking about uh Kirk Cousins.

776
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: Of course, Marry Chatty Keenan Robinson, a Giants linebacker who

777
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: spent four years in Washington, said that that's what happens

778
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: down there. People point fingers, and Jake Gruden said this,

779
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: We're all competitors. Nobody likes to lose. So there's gonna

780
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: be some grumblings. I can't make sixty three guys and

781
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: twenty coaches happy very day. We're not all going to

782
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: be smiling, singing happy do la or whatever the heck.

783
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: That's I think he meant happy do la, happy dude

784
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: that day. Zip zippity do zippity dude. It's probably where

785
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: he's trying to go. It doesn't sound any they like it.

786
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: I think that's what he's saying. I think you've diagnosed that.

787
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: I googled what he said and there was no results.

788
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: Happ be do lah happy day. Another Redskin season going

789
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: down in playing well, we just talked about Hugh Jackson

790
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: going to take a shot if he's married to the

791
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: wrong quarterback. This is the coach and look at he

792
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: made the right choice about r G three, but he

793
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: couldn't have been more pro Kirk Cousins during that's That

794
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: was the first, you know, move of his tenure. And

795
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: now you're tied to that, and I, you know, I'm

796
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: not sure that that's looking too good at I don't know,

797
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: he he kind of buried. He has his little ways

798
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: of Yeah. I think this is just what the Grutens

799
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: are like. They're they're gonna take shots at their own players.

800
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: He did it coming out a halftime, a little bit

801
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: about cousins, and that's why some players get tired of

802
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: playing of it. I mean, the Grudens run through quarterbacks.

803
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: They are at the meadow Lands this week against the Giants.

804
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: Uh oh, and two week is always own. Two against

805
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: two and a week is always interesting to me, especially

806
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: in this case where I think the Giants are a

807
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,959
Speaker 1: lot better than than the Redskins. I think they've shown

808
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: that their defense looks a lot better. But you know, cosmically,

809
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: the Giants could lose the game and be okay. The

810
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: Redskins got some desperation going on. I could absolutely see

811
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: Washington going up there and getting their first win rather

812
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: than falling to OWN three. And then both teams are

813
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: kind of an okay place. I see that playing out.

814
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: I have to disagree with you, which, much to West's dismay,

815
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: is why I made the New York Giants my lock

816
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: of the week. Whoa, and that's your concerned Giants fins. Yeah,

817
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: Why you're that certain that the Redskins are gonna start

818
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: owing three? Wow? I am that certain that the Giants

819
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: at home with a better team and some interesting young

820
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: things happening in their wide receiving corps. You know, you

821
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: basically have two receivers that you didn't have last year

822
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: along with Odell Beckham. Yes, they're gonna win this game.

823
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: I want to see the Giants play a real defense.

824
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 1: They haven't yet. They've probably played the two worst if

825
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: you could pick the two worst pass rushing teams in

826
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. That's who they've played in back to

827
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: back weeks. And pay elis another one in here. But

828
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: that's the problem. They're not playing a real defense this year.

829
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: He played this week either. Well, let's talk about the

830
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: Giants defense, because I think they're for real when I

831
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,919
Speaker 1: watched Game re one. They fly to the ball, their

832
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 1: physical landing. Collins is playing with authority in that back.

833
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: In that back, he's controlling the line of scrimmage from

834
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: the safety position. I love everything I'm seeing from the Giants.

835
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: Eli Apple looks like a nice addition. DRC has sneaky

836
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: been a great free agent pick up for them for

837
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Now. He's on a better defense.

838
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: What's crazy? Jonathan Cassius bizarrely is playing fantastic. He's a

839
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: defensive what's amazing and should the Giant should be excited about.

840
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: They haven't even rushed the passer very well yet. I

841
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: would say they've been sub average in terms of rushing

842
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: the passer. But they're so tough and their secondary's been

843
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: so good it hasn't matter. Jerry Reese is flying again.

844
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Jerry Reese was under a lot

845
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: of fire and did kind of the what a lot

846
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: of times is the desperation move was we throw a

847
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: ton of money out and try to save your own

848
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: job and get the team better at the same time.

849
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: It's working so far, so that will be a fun

850
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: game to track on Sunday. Boys, Let's move on the

851
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: final one PM game the Arizona Cardinals, who got healthy

852
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: and week two blowout victory over I forgot who they

853
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: kill the Bucks? Right? Oh sorry, Greg, didn't need to

854
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: bring up bad memories. You have like seventy sandwiches tied

855
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: into that. You know, you got you gotta just you

856
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: gotta move past. That's what the bad teams do. They

857
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: let it bother them. The Bucks have moved on. We're

858
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna own this. He so the Cardinals now the bill

859
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: schedules not easy, everybody and they see he's got a

860
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: bad schedule. But now the Buffalo Bills uh and and

861
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: deep trouble at owned two and just canned their offensive

862
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: coordinator for some reason, now have to fight off of

863
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: the Cardinals West Uh. We talked about, you know, Rex,

864
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: his teams usually do better when their backs are against

865
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: the wall. If there was ever a time oh and

866
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: three and death, if you lose at home and they're

867
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: gonna put a fight here, I don't know if they are.

868
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: And I think what we're gonna see is there's a

869
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: possibility we're gonna see whatever the record is for fewest

870
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: pass attempts by Rex Ryan quarterback in a game might

871
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: be coming up. He said that Sammy Watkins, it's still

872
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: up in the air. He might not play. It sounds

873
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: like he's not playing, hasn't practiced. So you're gonna have

874
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson a race Robert Woods, and then you're left

875
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: the throat of Greg Salis. I don't know how the

876
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna move the ball through the air. And

877
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: they promoted a guy to offensive coordinator, Anthony Lynn, who

878
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: has a pure running game background, and they keep talking

879
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: that day where they fired Rome and Rex talked about

880
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: I want to let Tyrod show off his skills, his

881
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: skill set and his special talent. And all I thought

882
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: is he wants to run the Tim Tebow offense with

883
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: the Jets that he always dreamed of it well and

884
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: that works so well. One reason that Rex Ryan hasn't

885
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: had a winning season in about half a decade. And listen,

886
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: you have the Patriots coming up after this game. You're

887
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: looking at Owen four. And then if you ever went

888
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: to l A and lost to the Rams and your

889
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: own five, I don't want to know what that would

890
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: do to Rex Ryan's tenure in Buffalo. That could be

891
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: the end. I think you'll get a good effort out

892
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: of this Bill's team this week. I don't doesn't mean

893
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: any think how close are we know to some of

894
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: the grumbling that we heard last year. I mean, I

895
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: just this feels like this is a locker room that

896
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: showed last year they couldn't keep it to It's like

897
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: it's November that they're fired righting their coordinator and making

898
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: these panic moves. Would you like the answer by the

899
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: way of the fewest past attempt because it's gonna be

900
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: pretty hard to beat. It wasn't it that that game

901
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: two years ago when he wouldn't let Gino Smith Monday

902
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: Night Football, December first, two thousand fourteen. Gino so the

903
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: sixteen thirteen loss UH for a four and twelve Jet

904
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: team seven of thirteen for sixty five yards and a pick.

905
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: They ran the ball forty nine times or two d

906
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: and seventy seven yards and law. So, I mean, that

907
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: would be pretty amazing if he approached that. But I

908
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: believe Danna we watched that game at a local tavern

909
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: and had to order an extra pitch or two to

910
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: deal with that. I was in the office, actually, I

911
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: remember that one. That was a rough one to watch.

912
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: I was definitely I was definitely still at a local tavern.

913
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm still ordered with me stored or several pictures. I

914
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: don't waiting for you. You were there, all right? Anything

915
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: I'll say on that game, boy, definitely not. The San

916
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners are one in one, and now they

917
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: have to travel to Seattle. We are also one and one,

918
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: and usually I would say, oh, this will be a

919
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: wipe out, But I just haven't seen enough mark from

920
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks to say that they're just gonna easily take

921
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: care of business until I actually see them easily take

922
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: care of business. I you know, maybe it's just what

923
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: we've seen with Seattle year of the year. They they

924
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: do start slow occasionally. And I'm not going to press

925
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: the panic button on this club. This is the team

926
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: that in the preseason and throughoute uh you know, the summer,

927
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: talked about feeling that they had that same type of

928
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl field that they did before. And I just

929
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: think they're a very resilient team under Carol and you're

930
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: getting a San Francisco team that will not be able

931
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: to hang with Seattle on Sunday. Well, their defense, Seattle's

932
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: defense looks like the best defense in the league. To me,

933
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: I expected them to be the best fence in the

934
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: league going into the season if I had to choose one.

935
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: And they've given up nineteen points in two weeks and

936
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: I don't have also played two pretty fair, but they're

937
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: playing maybe even even worse one this week. There's no

938
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: reason for me to believe that Blaine Gabbard in the

939
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: Forts offense will get into double digits in terms of points.

940
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: So that's why he can't be too What they need

941
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: to work out is on offense. Yeah, Well, the first

942
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: of all that they have to realize that Kristin Michael

943
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: is running a lot better than Thomas Rawls. Right he woke,

944
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: You need to feed Kristin Michael. And Pete Carroll said

945
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: this week he looks like he's shot out of a

946
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: can and something that we said when we saw him

947
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: in the preseason. If that's the case, saddle him up

948
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 1: right him. Don't you think that the injured the injuries

949
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: in that backfield. This is probably the best thing that

950
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: could happen to Michael because I just feel like he's

951
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,439
Speaker 1: a flow runner. You gotta give him work every quarter.

952
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: You can't pull him out of line up and and

953
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: give him half the carries. He's gonna thrive in this situation.

954
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: Not only the best thing for Michael, but if they

955
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: let him play, it will be the best thing for

956
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, and and the best thing for Thomas

957
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: Ross to sit out a couple of weeks. It's not

958
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: like we think Thomas Rawls is done as a quality player.

959
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: I'm not ready right now. I mean he was fantastic

960
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, why why use him in a game against

961
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: the forty niners? There any game really this early in

962
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: the season. They're better than a man do they need

963
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: to go out and trade for Joe Thomas, Well, I

964
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: think it talking about like that, that is very possible.

965
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: They've shown no hesitation about giving up first round draft picks.

966
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: That's how been now. And they like be a solid

967
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: for Joe Thomas too. Super Bowl with Gary gilliam at

968
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: left tackles soul or whatever, Well, we saw that line

969
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: getting massacred against the Rams last week. So that's a

970
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: tough tough draw. Yes, it is. But you're gonna face

971
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: teams like that if you want to get in deep.

972
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: Virginia's forty niners team has played it. I don't know.

973
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: I guess the low expectations thing. But they're playing hard.

974
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: And you watch the Panthers game. They were competitive in

975
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: that game. They they've been playing hard for old Chip

976
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: Chipper team and we two playing hard. I expect that.

977
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: I expect that. That's all. When do you think the

978
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: wheels start give a lollipop for playing hard? I'm saying

979
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: it's not the most talented roster and they're out there

980
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: or they're flying around. I would have liked to see

981
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: that from the Jaguars last week. Everyone, you know, Dan

982
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: not handing out lollipops. Can't give him a lollipop. They

983
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 1: only eat specially designed smoothies. I'm in on the smoothies

984
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 1: west Is. People might be surprised to know that every

985
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: morning west walks down the street from the office, gets

986
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 1: a purple smoothie, sucks it down, protein smoothie. It's delicious.

987
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 1: It's glorious to be around. Moving on, the Los Angeles

988
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: Rams head to Tampa Bay to face the Bucks to

989
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: one and one teams, and uh, you know what am

990
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: I gonna do? I get excited about this game. I'm

991
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: not going to the Ramps have nine points the entire season.

992
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley the only thing I get excited about on

993
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: the Rams can't run because his offensive line, can't make

994
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: holes because they can't pass, and case Keenum still involved

995
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: my ur own, get me away from that. On the

996
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: Buck side, all right, there's a little bit of excitement. Greg.

997
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: You got Jamis Winston, and you got some nice playmakers

998
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: and some guys in d but too was exciting for you.

999
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: Week two was grotesque. You're gonna have some stinkers, but

1000
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston has too many of them. If you look

1001
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: at what he did last year, he had about five

1002
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 1: games where he just absolutely collapsed and gave his team

1003
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: no chance to win. And if you've got to take

1004
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: that next step, like I expect him to do, you're

1005
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to cut that down to about Okay, you

1006
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: had your one last week and that's it. And this

1007
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: matchup to me, is tougher than than the match up

1008
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: against Arizona. It's similar. It's it's not a road game,

1009
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: so that that helps. But this Rams front seven they're

1010
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna get after Jamis Winston. He just has to not

1011
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: turn the ball over and you should be able to

1012
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: beat the Rams. Well. I think Mike Evans is going

1013
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: to find it a lot easier to operate against the

1014
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: Rams cornerbacks than he did against Patrick Peterson. And and

1015
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: that's the matchup because I think Mike Evans is in

1016
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: from monster year. I agree, he looks really good so far.

1017
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: The weirdest story of the month to me is the

1018
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher contract extension that's floating around in the ether.

1019
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: Uh Is it is it too crazy to think that

1020
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: they were kind of crowdsource sing that checking the court

1021
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: of public opinions, It is certainly not too crazy. Now

1022
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: you know the fact that it's been in the news

1023
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks, but it has not happened yet.

1024
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: It just seems kind of weird they would bother me

1025
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: that they would need to crowdsources. Absolutely, that sort of

1026
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: thing happens, though with coach and GM extensions. Sometimes they

1027
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: don't get reported for six months or you'll hear that, Oh,

1028
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: John Schneider, by the way, that's the wrong example. But

1029
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: there was someone last year. We didn't even know about

1030
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: it for five months. And I bet it's done. I

1031
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: bet that it's agreed to. Whatever it is they're afraid

1032
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: to announce. I don't know why they won't announce it, Gregory.

1033
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 1: It just beat the Seattle Seahawks, all of our choice

1034
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: as the number one team in the late Maybe maybe

1035
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: they're waiting for the Ramps to score touchdown this year. Yeah,

1036
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: that would be good because by the end of the year,

1037
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher will be the losing his coach in NFL history.

1038
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: Because Tavon Austin was just given a major contract and

1039
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 1: how many targets does that targets for sixty three yards

1040
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: so far, It's like they're trying to earn that money.

1041
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: Here's what concerned to see about the Bucks this week.

1042
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: You just saw what the Rams did to Seattle's ground

1043
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 1: game in the first half last week, fourteen yards, fourteen

1044
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: carries for fourteen yards before Michael heated up a little

1045
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: bit in the second half. You don't have Doug Martin,

1046
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: and we saw that without Doug Martin last week that

1047
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: Bucks offense. He is the fundamental core of that offense.

1048
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: And although we can talk about how they have a

1049
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: one two punch, that's the number two punch is not

1050
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: the same type of running back is Doug Martin? Right?

1051
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: The number two punch is a passing game guy. Right

1052
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: that we're hearing that Jaquiz Rodgers is gonna get a

1053
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of work. Give me a break on Jakiss Rogers.

1054
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: But he couldn't even make the Bears backfield, which is

1055
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: one of the worst in the NFL. I didn't choose

1056
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: the Bucks because they're a complete roster. I chose them

1057
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be fun to watch and they're gonna

1058
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: withstand some adversity like losing Doug Martin this Sunday. They

1059
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: made the Cardinals fun to watch last week. Thank you, Greg.

1060
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: I'm responsible on the San Diego Chargers. The Superchargers are

1061
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 1: one and one and they are traveling down to Indianapolis.

1062
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: Here we are again a despiration Oh and two team. Uh,

1063
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: the Colts, who absolutely have to win a game in

1064
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: their building, no excuse not to beat the Chargers. I'm sorry, Greg,

1065
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: I know you love the Charges, and I know they're

1066
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: playing great through two weeks despite all these injuries. But

1067
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: the Colts, who we all none of us picked the

1068
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 1: Colts be bad this year, right, Nobody said the Cults

1069
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: are gonna stink, so you gotta they're gonna be good.

1070
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: Not one of us picked him to win the division.

1071
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: I think we said they had one of the worst

1072
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: rosters in the NFL. But we love Andrew Luck and

1073
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: we think he could cover up lemishes. You gotta win

1074
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: this game, is what I'm saying to you and to

1075
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: the people and people out there in the desert and

1076
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: the people that think that Chargers are an underdog in

1077
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 1: this game. Give me a break. They're not an underdog.

1078
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: Not only that, they are my lock of the week.

1079
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: We put a lock on its you gottamit? The lock

1080
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: is this? This doesn't want to do the Lock of

1081
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: the week. It's fun. These two teams aren't even come

1082
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 1: back to us. Was I go I go by what

1083
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: I see and what I see with the Colts. One

1084
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: of the word talented defense is in the league. And

1085
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: when I see from the Chargers, they're a team that

1086
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: is playing very good football together. I mean, they're fun

1087
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: to watch. You continue to associate San Diego with the

1088
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: desert I heard that, now, what is going on with

1089
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 1: It's a sea based There are an ocean based team

1090
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: talking about desert figures. It's where Spicy lives. A little

1091
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: bit of a loose connection. It has to be. This

1092
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: is a bad matchup for the Colts. That's what I'm

1093
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: saying to. Chargers are significantly more talented team. You could

1094
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: take away Woodhead and Keenan Allen, They're still more talented

1095
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: and their secondary on defense is their strength. Jason Verrett,

1096
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: that will be fine from you. Jason Verrett en route

1097
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: to an All Pro season, He's made the leap to

1098
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. And the

1099
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: Colts are gonna be without Dante Moncrief. They're gonna have

1100
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 1: to lean awfully heavily on t Y Hilton and Philip

1101
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: Doors set their pint size wide right, and they have

1102
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: they have no depth After those guys and oh, by

1103
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: the way, Brandon Flowers playing pretty well. Casey, hey, we're

1104
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: with the picks last week. This is one of the

1105
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: best cornerback groups in the league. And Melvin Gordon, Melvin

1106
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: Gordon is so much better this year. And he's got

1107
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: some mallers in front of them blowing open holes. This

1108
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: is a good offensive line. If imagine if Melvin Gordon

1109
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: played these two games to start his career, what how

1110
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: do he would be talking about completely. He would be

1111
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: saying like, who's better, girl or Gordon? Did they make us? Well?

1112
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: He looks He looks fantastic to me because he can

1113
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: he can run over people inside and he's got the

1114
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: strength to go outside. You often find out what running

1115
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 1: backs are right away, unlike other positions. You can get

1116
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: a good read. And so it's kind of a jarring

1117
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: to have had him go through his first season and

1118
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: see what he's doing. Now. He's a big play running

1119
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: back and it's it's it's what they were missing in

1120
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: the season and what And as far as Spice Reckos,

1121
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna come back on the show? If Melvin Gordon?

1122
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: Maybe when Gordon hits the one thousand yard marker, Danny

1123
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: woodheads injury was terrible, but it almost made it a

1124
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: lock of right. They lost Brandon all you gotta stay healthy,

1125
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: But you're right, like they're gonna have to figure out

1126
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: that they didn't really use him when they were in shotgun.

1127
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to figure that out because he's not

1128
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna leave the field that much. One quick thing. I

1129
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: believe you guys are so wrong about this. By the way,

1130
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: Well hold on, here's what we are right about we

1131
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: I don't think that we've had the Cults buried as

1132
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: a team, but not anyone in this room thinks that

1133
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: they've been put together. Well they are. It is right.

1134
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 1: I got killed on Twitter for saying that the team

1135
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: had regressed under Ryan Griggson. That is exactly what they've done. Well.

1136
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: The Colts that their recipe. It wouldn't be a shock

1137
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 1: if they won, and the recipe is Andrew Luck starts

1138
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: playing like an m v P, which we thought he

1139
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: might be before last Give him some help though you

1140
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: got it. But last week and he admitted this. He

1141
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: played bad poorly last week. People want to blame it

1142
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: on the teammates. He missed a lot of throws early

1143
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 1: in the game that were there when he was protected,

1144
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: so he's got to He's gonna light it up for

1145
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: on this lousy rafter. Next game, we're going to Arrowhead,

1146
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: where my New York Jets at one in one face

1147
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs also one in one, and uh, you know,

1148
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: we talked about desert figures. I feel like this game

1149
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: is pretty close to toss up. I think the Chiefs.

1150
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: Most people will pick the Chiefs to be the favorite

1151
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: here because of the home field, but I don't know.

1152
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: I thought Alex Smith did not look very good last week,

1153
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: and I think the Jets defense once the Jets. The

1154
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: biggest problem for the Jets so far is they've given

1155
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: up these big chunk plays, and I think that's correctable.

1156
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: I think once Vas figures out what's going on with him,

1157
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: he's not the same guy anymore. But they're gonna figure

1158
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,479
Speaker 1: out how to use them the right way. They'll sort

1159
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: those things out. I trust Todd Bowls to do it.

1160
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 1: That's been the only problem for the Jets for me

1161
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: through two weeks. So I think they're gonna be competitive

1162
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: with just about everyone this season, including an Arrowhead in

1163
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 1: a tough environment. Jets are good team. The Chiefs last

1164
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: week could not overcome the fact that they turned the

1165
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: ball over three times. You can't do that against the

1166
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: Texans defense, and you certainly can't do it against the

1167
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: Jets because the Jets offense. You know, I was not

1168
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: on Ryan Fitzpatrick's bandwagon and all last season, but I

1169
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: think he's looked good this year. Well, he looked good

1170
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 1: on last Thursday. I'll say that the Texans are gonna

1171
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: make every quarterback they play at home. Yeah, Alex smit

1172
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: that a bad game adjects to me look like a

1173
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: better team than they were a year ago. I think

1174
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: they're two weeks they've been one of the best teams

1175
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: in the league, even though they lost the first game.

1176
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: Tough game. I think they a tough game that they

1177
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,479
Speaker 1: dominated and should have won. But you got they looked good, Danny,

1178
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: don't ever say we don't say something nice about I

1179
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: appreciate that you guys have noticed because they had. I'm

1180
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: still angry that they blew that Week one game because

1181
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: they should be two and oh. And this is and

1182
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: as as I said, they have six games that are

1183
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: killer games to start the season. Gotta get out of

1184
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: it three and three and this is a winnable game.

1185
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: I will not be satisfied by them playing the Chiefs tight.

1186
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,959
Speaker 1: I think their playoff team, which means, go win this game.

1187
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: Your boy Quincy and is good or what he's good?

1188
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: What is he? No one knows what he wants? Brandon

1189
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: Marshall at this point. Well, Brandon Marshall said this week

1190
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: he's got to get back on the field because if

1191
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't, little Quincy will take his job. I have,

1192
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: I have Marshall and my fantasy team decided to pick

1193
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: up a noon While as almost like put him together.

1194
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: If one's gone the others they This is how much

1195
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 1: the Jets talked noon Up all through the preseason. A

1196
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: lot of times when these things happen with any team

1197
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: that it's not the real deal, but everyone's staying watch

1198
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: out for this guy. He's gonna be a difference maker.

1199
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: They have plays in a in an offense that includes

1200
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall, and Eric Decker. They have a

1201
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: lot of plays that are built around Quincy noon While.

1202
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: That's how much they believe in him and his ability.

1203
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: And he leads the team and receiving through two weeks.

1204
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure this Chief's defense is is that

1205
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,959
Speaker 1: type of matchup right? Now it's it's it's not last year's.

1206
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: They haven't down the stretch, they haven't rushed the passer.

1207
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: And I don't expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to play like he

1208
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: did last week every week because he played like be

1209
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: the m v P of the league if he did.

1210
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: But again, the reason why Fitzpatrick could have another good

1211
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: season is because he's a great match with chan Gailey,

1212
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: and he's got weapons, he's got guys to play play with.

1213
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: And you throw a noon one there. This this Jets

1214
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: team is gonna score. You are right. They need this though,

1215
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: because you've got the Seahawks, the Steelers, the Cardinals, and

1216
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens coming up as your next month of action.

1217
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: This is a big week. There's a big game for

1218
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: the Jets guy to watch in this game or the

1219
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Tyreek Hill of the Chiefs, this

1220
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: guy might be the next great return man in the NFL.

1221
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: He Hall like, We'll have to get Keith Hansas on

1222
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: the phone too on Sunday and see what he has

1223
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: to say about one of the key games of the

1224
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: season for Gang Green. Moving on the final four PM game,

1225
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: UH is a good one too. Undefeated teams is this

1226
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: uh the one of only two two and o two

1227
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: and o matchups this week. H Pittsburgh at Philadelphia and

1228
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: here you go West. This is exciting because uh, Carson

1229
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: wins has all the looks right now of a quarterback

1230
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: who the Eagles have hit on. But now now he

1231
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: gets a real challenge. Not to the Steelers of the

1232
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: Steel Curtain anymore or anything like that, but this is

1233
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: a real team where he's gonna have to score some

1234
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: points to keep pace. Carson Wentz big challenge here. Let's

1235
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: see how good this guy really is. This is the

1236
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Litmus Test Game of the Week's sponsored by the Sounds

1237
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Like a Column The Litmus Game of the Week sponsored

1238
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: Dr Shoals Mr Flames Chemistry Class. Carson Wentz got to

1239
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: face the Browns and Bears, two terrible secondary, two bad teams,

1240
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: and now who Now they face a team that is

1241
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 1: being ranked by a lot of people number one on

1242
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: power rankings. To Pittsburgh Steelers who played have played pretty

1243
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: good defense. Uh. Kirk Cousins and Andy Dalton had posted

1244
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,919
Speaker 1: some empty numbers against them, but they have been tough,

1245
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: not only shutting down ground games but forcing quarterbacks into mistakes.

1246
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: And they've done it without much of a pass rush.

1247
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I think they have one sacked

1248
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: this year as a team, and they're playing Jarvis Jones

1249
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: and James Harrison backing into coverage. They've got, They've got

1250
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: their two young rookies in the secondary, both played a

1251
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: lot last week andcluding their first round pick. It's kind

1252
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: of a conservative defense, and that's the type of thing

1253
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: that could could make a rookie make some mistakes. You know,

1254
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: just have a lot of guys in coverage and just

1255
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: force him to be really patient and not forced the

1256
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: ball in there. I love this year's Eagles team, which

1257
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: is the exact opposite of what we saw under Chip Kelly,

1258
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: generating points using making the most of their opportunities when

1259
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: they're getting the red zone. Two. But their defense, which

1260
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: I liked Eagles defense, but they have talked about not

1261
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: facing the test. You've played the Brown's offense before. They

1262
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: kind of got on track for a few minutes against

1263
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens. That was a terrible game, and then last

1264
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: week the Bears offense just a big stink joints. So

1265
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I mean, this is a test. You're getting

1266
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: Big Ben, You're getting Antonio Brown. He is gonna have

1267
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz is gonna have to work to keep

1268
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: up the pace in this game. We'll see those Eagles

1269
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: cornerbacks on paper don't look like they're great players. And

1270
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: this will be a big test for Jim Schwartz, who

1271
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: who has become one of the better coordinators in the

1272
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: league in general. Yeah, he's always he's always been able

1273
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: to do that. And Uh, I wish this game was

1274
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game? Is it too late? It? Can

1275
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: we flex? Can we just get the flex going anytime?

1276
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: We want to get wild? Roger, if you're listening to

1277
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: the show, which I don't imagine you are, but if

1278
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: one of your minions are, please let Roger know that

1279
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: we want this to be the Sunday Night game and

1280
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: not the next game we're gonna talk about. Actually, you

1281
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: know what I want to ask? Who wins this game?

1282
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at Philly around the Horn? Mark Seessler going Steelers, Steelers.

1283
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Eagles. Why not home team? Uh? The

1284
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: NFC East pick, I'll go Eagles too. We split all right?

1285
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: Loves the Link. Sunday Night Football, Ladies and gentlemen, the

1286
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears at the Dallas Cowboys and yeah, the Cowboy

1287
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: the Bears are own two and a boring oh and

1288
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: two somehow I have back to back primetime games. But

1289
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: this is a good spot for the Cowboys, Mark Sessler,

1290
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: who uh one point loss in week one and then

1291
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 1: they eked one out in week two to get get even,

1292
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: and now they get a chance to get to two

1293
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 1: and one against the Chicago to team that seems like

1294
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: a total mess right now. It's a great spot if

1295
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: any any team in the league would want to play

1296
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: the Bears right now with with the Bears right now

1297
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: are a disorganized, identity free mess. And so yeah at

1298
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: home where Dallas, where I want to see Ezekiel Elliott,

1299
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: who essentially was benched last week for a pair of fumbles.

1300
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: This could be the game where Ezekiel Elliott he wants

1301
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: something to like about Sunday night football. We're gonna get

1302
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: a good shot to see him chalk of some yardage

1303
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: in this game. You should watch Sunday night football. I'm

1304
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna quit my job walk down watching in Bullivard, keep

1305
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: walking into the ocean if I have to watch that

1306
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: sounds attracted to I. I can't sell this game from

1307
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: from a Bear's angle. How about Dak Prescott and a

1308
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 1: nash Cowboys players game. It almost I wouldn't say he's

1309
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: under the radar because he's the Cowboys quarterback, but a

1310
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: rookie fourth round quarterback looking as composed and error free

1311
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: and some fancy looking plays last week against the Redskins,

1312
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean they got pretty pretty excited. How about a

1313
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: little fantasy nightmare for people out there regarding the cow

1314
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: Boys offense, a possible running back committee between Ezekiel Elliott

1315
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: and Alfred Morris. That happened. It's atastic, it's realistic. If

1316
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: he struggles earlier, they're saying that he's rushing his runs. Essentially,

1317
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: he's not being patient enough that he was just kind

1318
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: of running in there, not waiting for the hole to develop.

1319
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: But for all the talk about the Cowboys offensive line,

1320
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: it's like they haven't had two good games in particulars.

1321
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they haven't played pretty well. They start off

1322
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: the game well, dictating in both of these weeks, which

1323
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: is a good sign for a team run by rookie quarterback,

1324
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: and then it kind of goes away. Well, they do

1325
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: still have the best left tackle on football. Yeah, moving

1326
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: on to Monday Night football, gentlemen, they showdown on the

1327
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: NFC South. This used to be you know, around two

1328
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: thousand ten, mark like our early tenure at NFL dot com.

1329
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: This is one of the matchups of the season at least,

1330
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: and then the playoffs, some great playoff game. Now what

1331
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Atlanta at New Orleans shooting about a couple of dome

1332
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: teams that in my world this matchup, this is Greg

1333
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: Rosenthal special. Take it away, Greg, Okay, alright, let me

1334
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: try this again. I don't I don't know where that went.

1335
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, the Falcons one one, Matt Ryan, looking like

1336
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: he's in a full on rejuvenation season mode right now,

1337
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: travels to the Superdome to face the Saints. What is

1338
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: that a wrong statement that Matt Ryan has looked really

1339
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: good through two weeks. Yeah, I don't. I think he's

1340
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: about the same if he thought. I think he had

1341
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: a good game. He's a little like Eli Manning right now,

1342
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: where it's he's less fun to watch, but he's more effective.

1343
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: A lot of just dinking dunks, short passes that works.

1344
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: There was a bomb to Julio Jones, there was a

1345
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: bomb to Uh. They fought to stay in that game anyway.

1346
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: So Falcons at Saints NFC South again once again. Mark

1347
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: those owe two teams that aren't necessarily terrible at home.

1348
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: I like them in these types of games where they

1349
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: need to have it, gotta have it, and I think

1350
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,479
Speaker 1: they will. I think the Saints take this one. Greg,

1351
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: you disagree, No, I don't. And this is an emotional

1352
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: game for the Saints. I was wondering why why is

1353
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: this on Monday Night Football? And I general, what had

1354
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: the schedule? That was a rhetorical question. He's now going

1355
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 1: to lay it. I'm gonna answer if it's the tenure

1356
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: anniversary of the return to the Superdome. Of course the

1357
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: famous Steve Gleason punt return block. So will hear a

1358
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: lot you two Green Day pregame duet that too as well.

1359
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: Everyone should see that movie Gleason, by the way, incredible

1360
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: when it comes out on Amazon. I think it'll be

1361
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime fairly soon. This Saints team has not

1362
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: been that bad through two weeks. I mean they're they're

1363
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: in that middle class of the NFL. They've lost two

1364
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: games by a combined four points. I thought their defense

1365
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: only giving up nine points to the Giant that was

1366
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: that was oppressive. Despite losing p J Williams, who's played

1367
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: well at cornerback during that game. Was a great effort.

1368
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: But that's all what they're gonna need. Great efforts because

1369
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: they're their rosters terrible. I mean, they lost their top

1370
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: three cornerbacks now off of what wasn't exactly a loaded defense.

1371
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: I thought you can put David Johnson in his own

1372
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: tier right now. Among running backs with Adrian Peterson injured

1373
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: and levy on Bell suspended, DeVante Freeman was the second

1374
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 1: most impressive running back I saw last week. Looked excellent

1375
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. Quick, decisive, hitting the hole's hard. Uh,

1376
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: they need to quit jerking around. I know Tevin Coleman

1377
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: has strengths of his own and he's playing well, but

1378
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: you gotta let DeVonta Freeman feed that hot hand. This

1379
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: I feel like these two teams who are arrivals when

1380
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: they play each other, it's all. I don't know if

1381
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: it's a lit miss, but it kind of gives you

1382
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: an indication where these two seasons are going. In Atlanta

1383
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: would love nothing more than to get a road division win,

1384
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:38,919
Speaker 1: especially after they dropped one at home against the Bucks

1385
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: and bury their rival Saints oh and three. This would

1386
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: tell you a little something about Atlanta if they can

1387
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: go into the into New Orleans in a tough in

1388
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: this tough spot, and take take this. I hate to

1389
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: keep sounding negative about dispatch up, but I don't trust

1390
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 1: either one of these teams. Well don't you trust both

1391
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: to score thirty points? Yeah? I mean yeah, that's what's

1392
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: text that Saints football give up thirty points, score thirty

1393
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: it's Falcons football too, because they absolutely cannot rush the pass. Yeah,

1394
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: they for the eighteenth year in a row. Right, dan

1395
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: Quinn hasn't turned that. You're again, please and as excited

1396
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: as it was about the Saints offense going into the years,

1397
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: about this game. This is the opposite of what I

1398
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 1: want to see on Monday Night football. What do you

1399
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: mean it's not the best day, it's it's this matchup

1400
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: helped provide, uh, one of the great moments in Monday

1401
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 1: night football history. So you're gonna you're gonna honor that

1402
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: in your opinion. Please give me a break. Just uh,

1403
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: just no more throw us the brand than coleman or

1404
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: Willie Kobe Fleaner and key spots. You're only as good

1405
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,640
Speaker 1: as your worst key guys, and those two guys are

1406
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,679
Speaker 1: killing the Saints offense. Willie Snee didn't practice on Thursday.

1407
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: That's something to watch and uh also this is a

1408
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: big week. You want something to look forward to mark

1409
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:00,120
Speaker 1: big night for Sean McDonough. Shaky week two. Yeah, that

1410
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: anglasing that angle interests me because it is someone that

1411
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: is under a lot of pressure. Mike Tarriko, you know,

1412
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 1: left that gig. I think the four of us just

1413
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: love the guy and Sean mcdonnalh, you're on the hot suntree.

1414
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,719
Speaker 1: I think Sean mcdonah has got He comes from all

1415
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: right West. Sean McDonagh comes from a broadcasting family. You

1416
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: know he's gonna get it done. I think you're gonna

1417
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: give him going to improve Sean mcdonnah two weeks and

1418
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: think that's silver spoon out of your mouth and called

1419
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: the game nice. I don't think it's a silver spoon scenario.

1420
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: You're underselling that family that his brothers in a football

1421
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: one brothers in a football front office. The other brother

1422

Speaker 1: is a GM of the sons. That's a football fan

01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:52,320

1427
