1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: The Around the League Podcast doesn't watch soccer. Welcome back 2 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: to another edition to the Around the League Podcast. My 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: name is Dan Hansis. I'm joined by a room full 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: of heroes, Chris Westling, Mark Sessler, and Greg Rosenthal. What's up? Boys? 5 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: In prime time? It's Sunday. We have so many games 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: to talk about. This is weird. This is a new thing. 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: We are for the first time ever some maiden voyage. 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: We're doing a Sunday night podcast because we couldn't wait 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: to talk about the games that we saw today. Uh, 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: a lot of close games, right, pretty good week one 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: on balance, quite good. West had the best game today 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: you as sign out games and Westling head Packers. I 13 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: think that's the game of the day. It was rivetty. Yeah, 14 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: why don't we start there. Let's let's start talking about 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: the games you did the Packers of the nine as West, Well, 16 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: we kind of talked about this in our preview Friday 17 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: that the Packer spent the off season studying up for 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: the read option, and wouldn't it be great if Greg 19 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: Roman came out and kind of just ignored the read 20 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: option and went with something new, And then we see 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: Packers had no answer for Kaepernick's arm and just the 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: the awesomeness, the awesome physicality of an Kwon Bolden. They 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: just had no answer. And those two guys just carved 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: him up all day. How scary is Colin Kaepernick? I mean, 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: how do you stop him? He threw for over four 26 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: hundred yards today, over ten yards per attempt. It's all 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: going down the field. Vernon David, you know, the big 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: question all offseason was wide receivers. What's what's gonna happen 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: to wide receiver position for them? And they just roll 30 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: up yards throwing up the middle to Vernon Davis and Bolden. Yeah, 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: you figure Crabtree didn't do anything in his career until 32 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: really Kaepernick took over. Maybe the ingredient here is Kaepernick 33 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: not the wide receiver. He is just a number one 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,279 Speaker 1: receiver maker. Well, part of the part of the issue 35 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: here from the flip side is Green Bay's defense, which 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: spent an entire offseason planning for this game, could not 37 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: have laid a bigger egg. Disastrous showing. I don't you 38 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: can dress it up anyway you want. Gave up four 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety four yards. Inexcusable. Hard to call this 40 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl team. When they're doing that, they pretty 41 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: much left the middle of the field wide opened the 42 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: whole game. Well, you said, hard to call him a 43 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: super Bowl team, but it's the fourth quarter, it's a 44 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: one score game. It's back and forth against you know, 45 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league on the road. 46 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like I didn't think it was 47 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: a terrible performance. It's an incomplete team. Defensively, it was 48 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: pretty bad, but I think the forty Niners are going 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: to be a tough team to stop in general. You're right, though, 50 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: they spent the offseason putting resources on the defense, and 51 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: that obviously didn't help out too much. I think the 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: answer to your question, how do you stop Kaepernick was probably, uh, 53 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: the way Clay Matthews played, keep hitting him over and 54 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: over and over again and one of those times maybe 55 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: he won't get up. Well that that actually brings up 56 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 1: a great quote Kaepernick cat after the game. Of course, 57 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: people are gonna remember big turning play in the game 58 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: was Clay Matthews at the late hit got offset on 59 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: penalties in the referee blew it and instead of it 60 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: being fourth and two, they said three, third and six. 61 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: Do it over and Koon Bolden squared a touchdown that 62 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: was a big storyline here. After the game, Uh, Kaepernick 63 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: had the line, Uh, if if intimidation is your game plan, 64 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: I hope you have a better one, referring to Matthews 65 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: and in general that it was. It was clear they 66 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: were trying to get it after Kaepernick. But he's just 67 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: not a guy that's gonna be rattled. Can we agree 68 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: that no team in the league has a bigger issue 69 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: with NFL officials than the Packers Over the last two seasons, 70 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: they have gotten some bad luck. I give him Mike 71 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: McCarthy credit. He took the high road after the game. 72 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: He would not bite on that hurting them at all. 73 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: He said it was not a factor, and you know, 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: I can see why he His defense couldn't get the 75 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: stops when it mattered. His offense played very well, though. 76 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: We asked, what is the forty Niners defense gonna look 77 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: like this year? Uh? They didn't really stop Aaron Rodgers 78 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: much in this game. Either. Okay, so that was just 79 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: that was just one game. We should go Let's go 80 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: around the horcause we all had a couple of games, 81 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: at least two games. Uh. I will take the next 82 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: one let's go with the Jets. My Jets. Uh taking 83 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: care of business at home against the Tampa Bay Bucks. Uh. 84 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: Geno Smith's debut basically exactly what I thought was gonna happen, 85 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: which was he was gonna make some mistakes, maybe make 86 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: a few plays, and then they get lucky on that 87 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: miraculous late hit. Near miraculous. Is it count as a miracle, 88 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: it's a It's not a miracle because I picked it, 89 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: hero picked baby, not the one just getting that hit. 90 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: At the end of the game, the game was over, 91 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: they were a midfield seven seconds to go, and it 92 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: was an if he call y can't do it? Though 93 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: you can't hit the quarterback, Well, let me ask you, 94 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: because I didn't. I don't think the rest of us 95 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: watch this game as closely as you. What is your 96 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: take on how Geno Smith played. I think he was 97 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: up and down. He made some plays, and he made 98 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: some killer mistakes, and I think that's gonna happen a lot. 99 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: But I also think we're gonna see this game, this 100 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: type of game a lot where the Jets are gonna 101 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: the defense is gonna keep him in the game. Then 102 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: it comes down to Geno makes enough mistakes I don't 103 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: change my viewpoint on the team. I still think it's 104 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: a five to seven win team, Max, but it was 105 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: nice to get a win. Gino made history. Did you 106 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: know that? You know, what did you do first quarterback 107 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: since the merger, drafted in the second round or later 108 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: to throw for two D fifty yards and have his 109 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: team win on kickoff weekend while eating an ice cream sandwich, 110 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: wearing and dancing in Irish jack. That's something, though. I mean, 111 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: this couldn't have been a worse month than they come 112 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: out and they get a victory. And you know, I 113 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: didn't watch the game either really except for at the end, 114 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: but it didn't look like a fluke. They had twenty 115 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: two first downs the Bucks only had twelve. Uh, it 116 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: was an even game between two flawed teams, and the 117 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: Jets scratch one out and I and before we move 118 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: on to the next game, I will say I have 119 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: a lot of concerns about the Bucks going forward. You know, 120 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: I didn't put much into it when Josh Freeman lost 121 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: this captain patch, but to see the dissension on the 122 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: sideline and when you guys watching him, you'll see the 123 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: same thing. Donald pen at one point slammed his helmet 124 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: down and walked to the other side of the bench 125 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: and sat down. They don't seem to be the team. 126 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: They seemed a little youngery. It was little Raheem Morrissey today, 127 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: which is strange. Um. Alright, let's keep moving on, Greg, 128 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: What you want to tell us about one of your 129 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: games Panthers Seahawks was the was the premier game I watched, 130 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: and my big takeaway was while we're all talking about 131 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: hurry up offenses and everyone's got to get more plays 132 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: in and that's the way of the NFL. Two really 133 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: good teams, I think the Panthers are gonna be good, 134 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: are going the opposite way. This was. You know, I 135 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: think each team had about eight possessions. There was only 136 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: about fifty plays on one side, sixty on the other. Uh. 137 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: The two teams really looked like they did last year, 138 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: which is that the defenses were good and the Seattle 139 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: Seahawks came away with the win in the fourth quarter. 140 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was getting pressured all day and then when 141 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter came, their last three drives are a 142 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: long drive, field goal, long drive with touchdown with the 143 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: vertical pass, and then a six minute drive to end 144 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: the game, which was just a killer, and the Panthers 145 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: make the big, big mistakes. So it looked like these 146 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: two teams from a year ago. Panther is good but 147 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: not quite good enough in the big moments. I thought 148 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: the one coach decision that impressed me the most today 149 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: was Jim Harball going forward on fourth and two and 150 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: converting with an Kwan Bolden instead of playing it safe 151 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: and punting uh on the opposite side. Was there anything 152 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: from Mike Schulett where you said, boy, they ought to 153 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: stop running the ball, they ought to play more aggressively 154 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: with the lead. Yeah, it felt like they were sitting 155 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: on a four point lead in the third quarter. It 156 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: was a lot of run, run, pass, and it was 157 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: a lot of let's play to the defense and let 158 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: them win. And for a while that's working. They're getting 159 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: a ton of pressure up the middle. They totally stopped 160 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. I mean, I said that was gonna be 161 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: the match of the game. The Seahawks had no running 162 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: game whatsoever. But it just felt like the Panthers were 163 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: so conservative and they're playing it close to the vest 164 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: and then surprise, surprise, Russell Wilson beats at the end. 165 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: They do that with Cam Newton at quarterback. Their their 166 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: offense wasn't good in the preseason either. D'Angel Williams had 167 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: a really nice game. They kind of built the entire 168 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: game playing around him. But four and a half yards 169 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: a pop on the ground after a while, it's not 170 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: really that exciting. You got still haunted by a ghost 171 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: of John Fox. Alright, Mark, what about you? Well, I 172 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't say that I was awarded with a premier game today. 173 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: I got listened. That doesn't always happen. But I watched 174 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland go down in epic flames to the Dolphins, and 175 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: I would say it was a very sloppy game by 176 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: both second year quarterbacks Tannehill and Weed, and both were 177 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: punished by what looked to be actually pretty good front 178 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: sevens for Cleveland and Miami. That might be the positive 179 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: takeaway for both teams, but Weed in three first half 180 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: picks probably basically a worst case scenario. It was a 181 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: repeat of what he did in his opener last year, 182 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: minus getting completely sunk under an American flag. That was 183 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: all right, So it was a bit of another that 184 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: was yeah, there was They were not in fact I mean, 185 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: you know, it looked like the second and third one. 186 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 1: I would put more on the receiver except Weed and 187 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: does not place the ball where the receiver is going 188 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: to do something different than Tippet and cases. It's easy 189 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: to say, oh, the receiver went off the receiver's hands, 190 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: it's not on Weeding. But you know, a second look, 191 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: and I took a quick one after I left work today. 192 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: I do put it on Weed and to be honest, 193 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: he but he was not sharp today on any level. 194 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: It's a huge concern for Cleveland. What I did like though, 195 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: was they held the Miami to twenty yards rushing on 196 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: twenty three attempts and had a ton of pressure on Tannehill. 197 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: So you know, it's a young team. That's the positive 198 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: down the stretch for Cleveland. For Miami, they sacked Weed 199 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: in six times, so they also in their defensive additions 200 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: in the offseason, got some production out of those players. 201 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm starting a little nervous about some of these making 202 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: the Leap candidates. Lamar Miller is right near the top 203 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: of the list. Did he not look good? Ten rushes 204 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: three yards? They just couldn't get anything going on any 205 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: level with the rushing game. And I agree because I thought, 206 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, Miller looked like a guy they were setting 207 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: up to be sort of an explosive ball carrier, an 208 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: element they haven't had in the past. And listen, I 209 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: they didn't. It did not translate. They couldn't move the ball, 210 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: It couldn't sustain anything. With the running about the number 211 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: one guy on the list, Ryan Hannahill the battle of 212 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: the second year quarterbacks. Were all kind of expecting this 213 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: guy to take a second year leap. The big difference 214 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: between him and Weeden judging two second year guys, was 215 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: that both of them had a really ugly start. Tannehill 216 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: worked his way through it and made some plays down 217 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: the stretch. He scored points. I mean, that's all you 218 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: gotta do. It's in quarterback driven league. Cleveland does not 219 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: have a quarterback that I see right now they can 220 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: do that. And I saw a quiet start by Mike Wallace. 221 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: One catch fifteen yards all right, West, what do you got? Uh? 222 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: My other big game today was Falcons Saints, which came 223 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: down to the wire. Uh Falcons. I have more concerned 224 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: about the Falcons and the Saints. In this game. The 225 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: Saints basically looked like the same team they were a 226 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: year ago. In the year before that, the Falcons, Uh, 227 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: the offense wasn't quite as good with Roddy White unable 228 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: to push off that springed ankle. You could tell he 229 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: was playing behind Harry Douglas most of the game, and 230 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: the offensive line is an issue. We figured that might 231 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: be an issue, and it definitely was. When you're giving 232 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: up three sacks in one half to the Saints and 233 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: I think they went um two, two turnovers in five 234 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: three and ounce in seven out of eight series in 235 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: the second half for the Falcons, So that was a problem. Well, 236 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: what wouldn't you think that one of the worst defenses 237 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: in NFL history that you've been saying, you know, could 238 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: stop the Saint from winning seven or eight games even 239 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: this year, wouldn't be able to do that. Well that 240 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: that's fair point. From my game watching, what I got 241 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: out of it was it was more about the Falcons 242 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: offense than the Sts defense. I did see Rob Bryan 243 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: and his Shakespearean haircut, whipping up and down the sideline 244 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: and a frenzy What I mean, what how did he 245 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: make up for all the injuries they've had? He faced 246 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: an offensive line that couldn't block That's how he made 247 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: up for bad Santa was going crazy at the end 248 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: of that game. That's a big win. What did I 249 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: tell you the other day though about this rivalry? Every 250 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: game comes down to your last play. It's always a classic. 251 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: And um, Stephen Jackson and Tony Gonzalez look a step 252 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: slower to me this year. Interesting. The Saints are the 253 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: only I think they're the only team that are in 254 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: first place by themselves. The rest of that divisions and 255 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: one there, one out. I like the idea of Rob 256 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: and Rex Ryan having a nice phone call, sharing a 257 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: hogie on some type of video chat alone, you know, 258 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: very exciting. Um. You know, speaking of wes Uh, it's 259 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: time to talk a little bit about um. You know, 260 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: Terrell Prior. This is what he's maybe achieving here for us. 261 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: He may actually make the Raiders watchable this season, which 262 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: is not uh, which is no small task. I mean this. 263 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: They hung in there in Indianapolis. They got beat on 264 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: a late uh touchdown run by Andrew luck who who 265 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: looks like every bit the m VP candidate I think 266 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: he will be. But it was Prior that he That's 267 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: what I took out of that game, that he made 268 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: some big runs. He said a Raiders record for a 269 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: quarterback went under over a hundred yards. I think he 270 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: was the leading rusher today period, out of anybody in 271 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, with a hundred and twelve yards. I believe so. 272 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: And he limited. He threw two bad picks, but that's 273 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: gonna happen. He doesn't have a lot of experience. But 274 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: this guy made some plays and he was clearly the 275 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: right guy for the job. What happened with the Cults 276 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: because this is the game I would have said if 277 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: there were forty five to seven, I wouldn't have blinked. 278 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: Why was it this close? It was? It was very 279 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: strange because it started out very well, like luck was 280 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: on target. He started out eight for eight for a 281 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen yards and two touchdowns, so everything was 282 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: seemed to be going to script, and then they just 283 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: got bogged down. And one thing that did jump out 284 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: to me was Reggie Wayne still looks like Reggie Wayne. 285 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: But t Y Hilton was quiet and uh DHB didn't 286 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: do much. Kobe Fleaner had one catch, Dwayne Allen had 287 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: a nice touchdown catch, but then left with I believe 288 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: a hip injury or a rib injury. So Um, they 289 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: didn't get a lot of help other than Wayne. So 290 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: let me ask you the same question as I asked earlier. 291 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: Was this a play calling issue? Did the Colts go 292 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: way too conservative when they had the lead because they 293 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: were up fourteen and nothing and it looked like they're 294 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: gonna blow the Raiders out of the building. I don't 295 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: think they got conservative because they didn't really push the 296 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: running game as a lot of team. That didn't seem 297 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: like a lot of teams were pushing the running game today, 298 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: but they just weren't. You just gotta give the Raiders 299 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: credit on defense. I think they just played very well. 300 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: We have to. Yeah, we have to do it and 301 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: west even though oh and one in the standings, I 302 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: think you gotta worry. You gotta be a little nervous. 303 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: It's no fun if I don't have to worry a 304 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: little bit. This is this is the best case. Let 305 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: me say this. Uh, next week, the Raiders opened their 306 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: home slate with the Jacksonville Jacks, who lost by score today, 307 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: so one one might be uh staring at us this 308 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: time next week. They gotta feel pretty good going into 309 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: Indianapolis having a chance. Dennis Allen and his gang a misfit. 310 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: Judging from my Twitter feed, their fans are feeling awfully good. Yeah, 311 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: that's good. All right, Greg, what's your other game? Patriots 312 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: and Bills? Uh, was a lot closer than a lot 313 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: of people expected. It was a sloppy game, I think 314 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: for both teams, especially the Patriots, who really gave away 315 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: a lot of points. I think it just minded us 316 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: that the Patriots, with Tom Brady and all these young guys, 317 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna take some time because you saw all those 318 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: rookies that we heard about all preseason struggle. Aaron Dobson 319 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: didn't even play in the game. He got hurt. KEMBERA. 320 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: Tompkins had a bunch of drops mental errors, uh. Really 321 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: blew up a couple of plays where he ran the 322 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: wrong route. He clearly wasn't on the same page. Zach 323 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: Sudfeld didn't have any catches. He tried to catch one dropped, 324 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: it was intercepted, and the Bills score points right at 325 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: the end of the first half. So a lot of 326 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: mental errors uh by the Patriots. But then in the 327 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: end their defense forced i think four or five straight 328 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: three and ounce to end the game something like that, 329 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: and they get six points and kicked the field goal 330 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: to win it at the end. It's kind of more 331 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: of the same. Patriots don't play that well, but they 332 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: get a win in the division. This Bills fan base 333 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: has watched Buffalo lose nineteen of the last twenty games 334 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: against the Patriots. That is a rough and it's usually 335 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: it's week one two. It's really rough. What about the 336 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: defense of New England was you talked them up a 337 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. For the most part, they played 338 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: really well. You know, seven of the points from Buffalo 339 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: came from a long fumble return. Another seven points, like 340 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: I said, was set up by an interception. They got 341 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: all the stops at the end of the game when 342 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: they absolutely need to. I think it was the Bills 343 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: had two first downs in their last five drives. The 344 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: Patriots offense did not take over this game in the 345 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: fourth quarter when you think they would have. They got 346 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: a couple of field goals, but they really battled for 347 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: and they had to punch a couple of times. The 348 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: Bills had a chance to take this game and run 349 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: with it. They really couldn't. But I do think there 350 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: are some positives. I think ej Manuel for his first start, 351 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: looked pretty good. His numbers could have been a lot better. 352 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: There was a penalty called back, a big play, a 353 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: drop called back. Uh ruined a nice throw by him. 354 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: He was pretty calm, didn't make many big mistakes that 355 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: I would feel very good about j E J. Manuel. 356 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: After one start, I'm starting to wonder if the A 357 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: t L team collectively slept on him as a offensive 358 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year candidate because none of the five 359 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: of us picked him. It was a lot of Eddie 360 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: Lacey love, No EJ love. I still have no EJ love? Why? 361 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: Why is that? Though? I just don't trust him to 362 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: be a difference maker at quarterback because I think they're 363 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: gonna be run heavy all year. And and they tried 364 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: to beat today and c J. Spiller had an awful 365 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: time of it. And Bill Belichick always tries to take 366 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: away your big weapon, and he did it. Uh c J. 367 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: Spiller only had fifty yards. Fred Jackson had double that, 368 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: I believe, real quick. One question, did they did the 369 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: Patriots do anything creative with uh Vereen or was he 370 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: just in because Ridley fumbled? Uh He was in earlier 371 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: before Ridley fumbled. Stephen Ridley got benched after he fumbled 372 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: the ball, didn't even get tackled, just fumbled it and 373 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: he didn't play the rest of the game. So Vereen 374 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: ran the ball very well. He also caught seven passes. Yeah, 375 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: they were using him as a receiver here and there 376 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: after that it was mostly at running back. He played 377 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: very well. Julian Edelman, there's a making the leap candidate 378 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: that had a nice day seven catches. We were remissed 379 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: we didn't mention Jordan Cameron big game candidate, that's right. Yeah, 380 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: Edelman was in the game early and often. It really 381 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: wasn't just injuries, and he was a big factor if 382 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: a Mendola and Edelman didn't make great catches in the 383 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: second half of this game contested catches. I don't think 384 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: the Patriots win alright, uh, Mark, because I can't believe 385 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: we didn't leave with this game. But Mark, why don't 386 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: you tell us a little bit about your second game 387 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: of the day. It is a shame because this was 388 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: a bona fide barn burner. No, actually, I was excited 389 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: to uh. I was kind of excited to cover this 390 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: game Chiefs twenty eight Jaguars too. I know it sounds 391 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: like a punchline, but ahetically is the only game in 392 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: NFL history to ever end up. My takeaway was the 393 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: Jaggs scoring two points on offense was so fitting for 394 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: what I saw today because actually that came from a 395 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: defensive play. But boy, Jacksonville would kill to have ej. 396 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: Manuel whether or not West. It feels highly on this 397 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: This youngster, I will say, youngster. It's a lot younger 398 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: than you. That's the first time the youngster. But you know, 399 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't care what they do with Blaine Gabbert. Nothing 400 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: seems to change. And they had this up tempo, quick 401 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: release pass game. You know, no one saw a fewer 402 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: seconds in the pocket before from the blah blah blah. 403 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter because they couldn't get anything done this team. 404 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: The Jacksonville advanced beyond its thirty six yard line once 405 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: all game once. What can we get was he well 406 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: under five right in the office the Gabbert zone. Just 407 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: the boundary got a little tighter. It's harder for anyone 408 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: else to get it out. I think I think Gabbert 409 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: saw some numbers of the preseason. He realized that the 410 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: Gabber zone wasn't hard enough to get into. So now 411 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: he wants he wants to be the only guy that 412 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: can be in the gabber zone. And you know, did 413 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: we make clear what the gabber zone? Gabber zone is exactly? 414 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: I think it's around five yards five yards for attempt 415 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: or under. So today he had thirty five attempts for 416 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: one yards. That's three point five and that's after racking 417 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: up some garbage time. Was at three point zero four 418 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: going into the like the middle of the fourth quarter, 419 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: real quick. The flip side I felt, and what I 420 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: wrote about today was that what the Chiefs did, and 421 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: they're not gonna you know, I think they're a little 422 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: overrated coming to the season. But this was the blueprint 423 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: of what I think Andy Reid said, This is the 424 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: parts that I have. This is what I want to 425 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: do with Alex Smith and the other guys around him. 426 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: Smith was exactly who we thought he would be. He 427 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: was announced. He didn't blow you away with his arm, 428 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: but he was efficient, he didn't make mistakes. I think 429 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: he had like a nine d close to a hundred 430 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: passing rating for today too, which is the same amount 431 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: as they had the entire last season. Right, but a 432 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: couple of teams that upgraded the quarterback position. This is 433 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: one of them. I could already like I could smell 434 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: the glowing Peter King right up about Andy Reid tomorrow morning. 435 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: Of course, it's only one week and you don't want 436 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: to overreact, but there's no worse week than the Jaguars 437 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: scoring two points at home. I mean, that is just 438 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: the killer after the entire offices in new regime, and 439 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: you have two points and Gabert gets a little hurt 440 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: at the end of the game, it's does that even 441 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: matter if he got hurt? Now, I think they'd be 442 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: better off with Chad Henny. They're gonna stick with Blaine Gabbart, 443 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: though Steve Weiser NFL Network Zone has reported, um Wes, 444 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: my other game was we're just gonna throw it out 445 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: there on on Sunday nights. Was a pretty big surprise 446 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: that the Titans go into Pittsburgh and we're the more 447 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: physical team offense and defense. They pushed the Steelers around, 448 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: man handled him in the trenches. Steelers, Uh, my biggest 449 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: takeaway from the game with Steelers have no playmakers on offense. 450 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: Their backfield is a mess. They couldn't run the ball 451 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: at all. Uh. The Marquise Pency injury really hurt them. 452 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: The offense just kind of ground to a hal day 453 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: after that. Um, it's gonna it could be a really 454 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: long season for the Steelers. I mean it's only one week, 455 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: but without Levy on Bell, you know, Steven's Hollings is out, 456 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: that's not a huge loss, but that backfield looks like 457 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: a mess. Well to review, they lost three players it 458 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: looks like for the season today. Larade Stephens Howeling, their 459 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: backup quarter running back, has a torn e c L. 460 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: Marcus Pouncy has a torn a c L. And Larry 461 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: foote Uh tore his biceps. So that's three pretty key 462 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: players out for the season. What about with with Tennessee. 463 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: I know their defense basically sealed this for them, But 464 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: we heard a lot about Locker in the new offense. 465 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: Did you see hints of that being anything we can 466 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: hang our hat on. Not really. They were basically just 467 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: grinding it out. Um, they got a lead and then 468 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: they just went with Sean Green. Well, Sean got injured. 469 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: They went with Chris Johnson and then Jackie Battle in 470 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: short yardage. But they ran forty two times and Steelers 471 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: ran fifteen times. So what you're trying to say is 472 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: my Ben Roethlisberger m v P pick Steelers making the 473 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: a FC Conference title game pick not not looking good. 474 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: This sets up nicely for you because if if he 475 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: gets everyone to lower the expectations to this point and 476 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: then they win the division. There's some m v P 477 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: loaw exact really funny because an outspoken NFL dot com 478 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: editor actually shouted across the room at one point, hey, Greg, 479 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: you'r MVP picks not looking to get leading to Greg 480 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: using a a some choice words as a response and 481 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: included an expletive that's only only in a newsroom. Would 482 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: you be able to get away with it in and 483 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: office setting. What's looking a little better was the hero 484 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: pick that I put on top of the Titans before 485 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: we'll have to do our I guess our hero pick round. 486 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: That was a deer um all right, So I think 487 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: we're getting near the end of the line here. My 488 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: other game, which was actually a good game the Cardinals 489 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: and Rams. The Rams pulled it out with a late 490 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: field goal by Greg the leg um. You know, these 491 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: two teams, they're not they're not getting as much publicity 492 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: as the other two NFC West teams, But I think 493 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: they're good. I think they're gonna be competitive in almost 494 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: every game. And uh, you know, I thought the thing 495 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: that jumped out to me and Greg and I talked 496 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: about it downstairs was you know, they have now Carson 497 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: Palmer showing that he could play still, and they have 498 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: some receivers that could play And it probably the thing 499 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: that made me most happy besides the Jets winning, was 500 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: seeing Larry Fitzgerald able to be Larry Fitzgerald again. You know, 501 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: he was what the third leading receiver in terms of 502 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 1: yardage on that that team today, Yeah, he was. They 503 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: had a lot of the great bounce. I think they 504 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: had something like twenty catches for two and sixty yards 505 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: and the two scores between Andre Roberts, uh, Michael Floyd 506 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: and Fits, with Fits having both the touchdown. So that's 507 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: something to look at for the other thing, you know, 508 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: we talked about Um West and I have Honey Badger 509 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: as the defensive rookie of the year, and he made 510 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: an amazing play in Jared Cook, who had a great 511 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: game for the Rams today. He might be a real 512 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: difference maker. Um, but Honey Badger had this amazing punch 513 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: out play that led to a turnover, forced fumble into turnover. 514 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: So those are two pretty good teams. I think Jared 515 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: Cook was the most striking part of that game for me. 516 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: What it says about Chris Palmer and the old Titans 517 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: offensive coaches that they underutilized him so much his first 518 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: game with the Rams and he has a career day, 519 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: goes for what seven two touchdowns would have been three 520 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: touchdowns if not for that funny badger play and just 521 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: look dynamite and Sam Bradford. This is obviously a pivotal 522 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: season in his career and he he got off to 523 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: a nice start and uh, you know they didn't figure 524 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: out We're still waiting for Tavon Austin to explode. Uh. 525 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: They try to get him the ball, but really nothing 526 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: came of it. But once he gets going, Uh, they 527 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: have a chance to put up some points. And Bradford's 528 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: in a good spot. I think it's they tried to 529 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: get him the ball, but Brian Schottenheimer's their coordinator. Six 530 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: catches for I think there was a lot of positives 531 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: to take away from both team. I mean, we were 532 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: talking how many wide receiver corps I know you mentioned 533 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: it are better. Michael Floyd just look sensational making a 534 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: couple of big plays, and Andre Roberts was probably the 535 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: best wide receiver in this game. It's a heartbreaker, though, 536 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: to lose a game in the division you're up eleven 537 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: in the second half, that's a big win for St. 538 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: Louis right off the bat to have kind of that 539 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: gut check type of win the game you're supposed to 540 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: win at home, and they get it done. Andre Roberts 541 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: is probably one of the better players in the NFL 542 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: who is not a household name. Nobody knows who he is, 543 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: and he's a really good player. Three seven yards by 544 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: the way, for Carson Palmer, I know they didn't win 545 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: the game, but just after what they had last year, 546 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: it's such a big up. He looked good. He was 547 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: throwing the ball really well. Okay, So then Kevin patra 548 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: Are Chicago correspondent, a t L writer. Uh, he was 549 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: on the Lions Vikings and also he covered the Bears Bengals. Um, 550 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: anybody have any thoughts about those games? The Bengals, well, 551 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: Mark Tressman and the Jake Cutler offense looked pretty good 552 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: in the second half. From everything I talked with Kevin, 553 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: he he did a good right up after the game. 554 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: And thought that Cutler and this offense wouldn't have made 555 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: that comeback in the past. I mean, they're down a 556 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: couple of scores in the second half, they get a 557 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns to pull off the win at home. 558 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: You know, quiet some buzz on on your Bengals, Chris Well, 559 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: it looked to me like A. J. Green was probably 560 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: the best player on that field. Unstoppable. I mean, Peanut 561 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: Tilman is one of the top five or six cornerbacks 562 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: in the league, and A J. Green gave him all 563 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: he could handle and then some Well, and you know, 564 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Chicago did not give up a sack all day long 565 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: against what I think he's honestly a top five That's 566 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: a big that's a big, big story considering where they're 567 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: coming from and in the Bear I mean, the Bengals 568 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: are part of a f C North that didn't win 569 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: a game today, the entire division. I will jump in 570 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: for the Lions and Vikings game. I was talking about 571 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: the Reggie Bush hype train up for about three months 572 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: and kind of saying it was a bit of a 573 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: mockery because what has he done his whole career, But 574 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: turns out maybe this actually is the finally the time 575 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: where he becomes the explosive USC Reggie Bush that we uh, 576 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: we were always promised but never quite saw. He made 577 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: some huge plays in that game, including I believe he 578 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: turned a screen pass into a seventy five yard touchdown. 579 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: Maybe you know, people forget before Javad Best his career 580 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: was cut short by the concussions that he was such 581 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: a nice fit in that offense. If Bush can fill 582 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: that role, you know they're gonna give people a lot 583 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: of problems. Yeah, it's important because from what I understand, 584 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: Bush um after hearing your words, was in a real malaise, 585 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: like he really couldn't get himself out of that until 586 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: he actually he said, I don't understand, and you don't 587 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: believe in me. I will show you on week one, 588 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: and he did it. The joke store looked pretty good too. 589 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: I think that was when I turned to you during 590 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: the game West and you basically let me know he 591 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: had more receptions than Bush at one point he was 592 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: I thought that was a bit of a surprise. Yeah. 593 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: He uh, he had two tds and he looked Joey 594 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: Bell always looks good. How about Peterson? He has a 595 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: seventy eight yard touchdown. Run finishes though with ninety three yards. 596 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: He got fifteen yards on his next seventeen carries I think, 597 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: and after the game said that's easily the best defensive 598 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: line in the league. Well, the lines didn't win a 599 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: division game last year, so I know it's only week one, 600 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: but they're they've already done something they didn't do all 601 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: of last year. That's that's a big step. And for 602 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: in Dominican Sue getting all of the publicity, Nick Fairly 603 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: outplayed him again, Fairly was awesome today had I think 604 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: one and a half sacks was always in the backfield. 605 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: I think Fairly might be the better player. And by 606 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: the way, Sue, uh, it must be said he had 607 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: another pretty dirty play today. He cut out the Vikings 608 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: center Sullivan's knee from behind what should have been uh 609 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: an easy pick six that got called back because of that, 610 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: and then Stafford through interception later when they got the 611 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: ball back, so it basically cost them a touchdown. I 612 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: don't know. You know that Clay Matthews does the same 613 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: thing and people don't go crazy, but with Sue and 614 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: the reason why they do it because he does this 615 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: stuff consistently, Like when is he gonna, you know, grow 616 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: up a little. CLAYT. Matthews was frothing at the mouth today. 617 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: He was he was everywhere. And then finally the Sunday 618 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: night game. Uh, this was not how tough Tom Coughlin 619 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: wanted to start the season. I think I was actually 620 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: thinking his head might explode on the sideline today. Well, 621 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: this game was a great example of why the NFC 622 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: E should not be in prime time so much. After 623 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: a great Sunday, I watched a lot of good games. 624 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: Pretty much every game at watch I thought was high quality. 625 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: This was probably the worst played game I saw all day. Well, um, 626 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: I'll use this opportunity to apologize to anyone who read 627 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: my Making Elite piece from last week when I had 628 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: David Wilson at the top and he fumbled twice, Uh, 629 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: maybe entrenched in Coughlin's doghouse, bumble twice. The second Bubbles 630 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,239 Speaker 1: returned for a backbreaking touchdown and actually they then he 631 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: was on the sideline for the start of the next drive. 632 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: And it was almost deja vu because it was almost 633 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: exactly the only thing that was missing was him crying, 634 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: which was what happened last UH season opener against the Cowboys. 635 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: A year ago. I mean, listen, Tom, Tom Colin does 636 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: not have a lot of options right now running back. 637 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: So I don't know if David Wilson now is you know, 638 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: out of the picture for them for a while. I'm 639 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: sure he won't be, but if they did have more options, 640 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: I think he this would be a very bad sign 641 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: for him, the very bad start for the Giants. You 642 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: know what concerns me about them is a their defensive 643 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: backfields to me, seems to be a complete shambles. Dave 644 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: got Denver coming up next week. I just this is 645 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: a team that needs to be firing on all cylinders 646 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: on offense. They're gonna have to outscore teams by a 647 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: margin to you know, even have any chance to to 648 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: succeed in this division. Like with everything else, it's one week. 649 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: Let's not get carried away. It's David Wilson has some fumbles. 650 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: I think he'll be a centerpiece in their offense and 651 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: I think he'll have a good season. Yeah, I still 652 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: think he's a difference making talent. Tonight was just a 653 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: worst case scenario for him. And I'll be a Tony 654 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: Romo defender. One thing a guy does not get enough 655 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: credit for he's a tough guy. He took a pretty 656 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: crushing double hit at the end of the half, and 657 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: he came back, missed one snap and then he actually 658 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: got his ankle rolled up in the third quarter and 659 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: he was he stayed in the game for that. I 660 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: mean the guy, he's tough, he's a player. And the 661 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: uncanny thing about the Giants is whenever you think they're 662 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: in a bad spot, that's when they win a game. 663 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,239 Speaker 1: So it's just looking ahead to them. That's when they 664 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: win seven games and walked away with the Lombardius what 665 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: they do, right? Um? Alright? So that is that is 666 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: around around the Horn in the week one around the horn? 667 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: Is that taking around the horn?
