00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: in the old clash of the Titan sense, not the

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: middling team from the a f C South, exactly exactly.

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go through each of the game's um

33
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: fourteen in total, including the Sunday night football matchup that

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: will close with between the Eagles and Seahawks. Uh we

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, why mess around, Mark? No, I mean we're

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: a minute half into the show and we've gotten a

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Harry Hamlin film reference from West, so we're Oh and

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: where's Greg? Greg, as you may be aware, is in

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: No Leans. He was helping to cover the Carolina Panthers

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Saints matchup. So we'll get him on the phone if

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: if he's even coherent at this state, you know, you

42
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: set Greg loose in the big easy. I mean he

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: might go have one drink. It could be in the

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: hoose game. You never know you're gonna get from Gregg.

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: You might have one beverage before going to bed at PM.

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: Who's gow uh. Let's get to the game though, and

47
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: Greg in in a few minutes. But we'll start with

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons. Oh a showdown of

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: Nnescy Titans and the Goods Kingdom takes the pad, helpline, stap,

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: three step drop, fire to the end zone, taught touchdown,

51
00:02:51,440 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: fucking tower ROUTOLP with the touchdown reception nine Minnesota Paul

52
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Allen k f x N with the call yes. The

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings keep rolling Keith k case Keenum through two touchdowns,

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: including that one you heard to Kyle Rudolph, and the

55
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Vikings shut down the Falcons on offense. A fourteen nine

56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: win um for the Vikings, who have now won eight

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: in a row, and they repeatedly proved this season that

58
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: they have a defense that can stop just about anybody,

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: including a Falcon. Seaman is playing tremendously well in recently weeks,

60
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: West very impressive. Once again, the Vikings. The tougher team

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: won in this game, and Case Keenum outplayed Matt Ryan, although,

62
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: as there's always the case in these things, quarterback who

63
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: outplayed the other one got a lot more help from

64
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: his teammates. Matt Ryan was under pressure quite a bit.

65
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: A lot of penalties from his offensive line put him

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: in third and long situations all day. They had been

67
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: converting an unreal sixty of their third downs in recent weeks,

68
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: and they were one for ten today. And then on

69
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: the other side, the Vikings Keenum had a strong ground attack.

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: Latavius Murray keeps playing well, so offensive line kept him

71
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: pretty clean. It was conservative game plan, uh not too

72
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: many downfield throws, but the Keenum came up big on

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: third downs, throwing converting to guys like la Kwan Treadwell

74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: and Jerry's right on that fifth team play eighty nine

75
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: yard uh drive that Paul Allen was talking about a

76
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: minute ago on the radio call. I always feel it's

77
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: a great sign number twenty five of thirty for Case Keenum,

78
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: and it's the guy is just he's in his own obviously,

79
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: but when you see these connecting with the levern different targets.

80
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: That that's a quarterback that's seeing the field, spreading the

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: ball around, using everyone in every type of situation. And

82
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: you don't hear any ted Teddy Bridgewater talk anymore. And

83
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: that's great. Like Case Keenum took that opportunity and he

84
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: has run with it. Nick shook and now he's in

85
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: a position where Case Keenum, we I can't stress this enough.

86
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: Case Keenum is the man in charge for a Vikings

87
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: team that very much looks like it could go to

88
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Part of the reason you're gonna hear

89
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: anything about Teddy Bridgewaters because I'm sitting in Gregg seat

90
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: and that's usually Greg's platform. But he's playing really well.

91
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: You know, I had to defend him like a month

92
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: and a half ago or whenever the Browns played the Vikings,

93
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: and and since then it's he's only gotten better, you know,

94
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: like you said, thirty two or twenty seven yards, two

95
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns and against the Falcons defense that's been playing better recently.

96
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this, this is this is probably the most

97
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: impressive win they've had all year. By the way, he

98
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't throw an incomplete pass in the entire

99
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: second half, twelve or twelve in the second half, and

100
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: a lot of that was short passes, but they were

101
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: also third down conversions and Falcons defensive coordinator Mark Mark

102
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: kwon Manual I thought this was pretty telling, told the

103
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: Fox broadcast team when you turn on the tape, if

104
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: you didn't know any better, if you didn't know the

105
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: name on the jersey, you'd think this was one of

106
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: the very best quarterbacks in the NFL. Isn't that the

107
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: issue that it's the keenom name. People are still you know,

108
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: if you don't watch this team week to week, he's

109
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: still in theory as the inc on him from the

110
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: RAMS thing. But I think number one we talked about

111
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh and Jared Goff. Pat Shermer, who was a

112
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: failed head coach, has a coordinator of the Year type

113
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: scenario going on here, and I have to wonder if

114
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: a he could be a head coach next year at

115
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: this time. And Mike Zimmer, speaking of Sean McVeigh, I

116
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: really I think Sean McVeigh is gonna run away with

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: this Coach of the Year contest. But Mike Zimmer has

118
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: coming off of what you look at what he's accomplished

119
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: over a couple of seasons, the injuries he's overcome, the

120
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 1: way that this team is one of the toughest teams

121
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I feel like he's a Coach of

122
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: the Year type candidate right now, no questions asked. I

123
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: would never endorse Pat Shermer to be a head coach

124
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: for another team after the disaster that was his tenure

125
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. But you're right, he's running a really good

126
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: offense right now. And that that breakdown from Mark jan

127
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: Manuel was was extremely on point because you know, you

128
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: go back and watch some of the tape of of

129
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: case Keenum, especially in the second half of this season

130
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: so far, like when they played uh, you know, the Rams.

131
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's doing things that I never would have

132
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: expected out of most quarterbacks, let alone Case Keenum, who

133
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: was you know, starting for the Rams last year. But

134
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: you gotta remember, also you don't want to put too

135
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: much of their college career into it, but he was

136
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback in college, so this shouldn't be

137
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: extremely surprised. Um final question for US Julio Jones last

138
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: week fifteen targets twelve or two fifty three and two

139
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns this week, two catches for twenty four yards targeted

140
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: just six times. Have that happened? Came out on I

141
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: believe the first play the Falcons ran and beat Xavier

142
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: Roads off the line. Matt Ryan threw a little bit

143
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: high and went off Julio Jones fingertips and they didn't

144
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: really get anything going after that. I think Xavier Rhodes

145
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: had a little bit of safety help over the top

146
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: as well, but he was talking about staying with Julio

147
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: to the point that even if Julio were lined up

148
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: at running back, he was moving to linebacker. They had

149
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: a plan, they stuck to it. They limited Julio Jones

150
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan didn't have a lot of time to

151
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: go through his progressions because of the pass rush and

152
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: one real quick thing. I mean they have the Saints

153
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: twice and the Panthers to close this season, you know,

154
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: along with the Bucks. I mean that the Falcons are

155
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: on the brink right now. Let's move on. Camara checks in.

156
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: He's the tailback in the eye. Here's Camara tackle ten

157
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: fun touchdowne Is he's twenty yard touchdown. Ron. I don't

158
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: know how he does with jam This is just funny.

159
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: It is funny Jim Henderson w w L with the

160
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: play by play call. There, Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara

161
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: combined for nearly two d and fifty yards of offense

162
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: three touchdowns is The Saints took control of the NFC

163
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: South with a thirty one to twenty one win over

164
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. New Orleans swept the home at home

165
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: with their division rival, putting them in the driver's seat

166
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: for their first division title in a couple of years, right,

167
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: few years. I meant to look it up one of

168
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: those things a couple of years, a few years where

169
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: I just put four as a placeholder, and you know,

170
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: old Douser might be right, might be wrong. Specific I

171
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: think a couple or a few fits here, lindsay, let's

172
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: put you on that if you could. I'll come back

173
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: to you anyway. Now we welcome in Greg Rosenthal, the

174
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: old boss who was in the big easy for the

175
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: Saints latest statement win. Greg, First of all, First of all,

176
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: how the hell are you? I I'm doing great, And

177
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: I got an answer for you. Two thousand thirteen was

178
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: the last time they wanted division? Was that? Four years? Four? Right?

179
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: A nailed it all, right, so four years they're going

180
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: to win the division Greg and they're and they're the

181
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: better team and it makes sense, right they they proved

182
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: it today. Uh, you know, after the game, mark Ingram said,

183
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, did the Panthers have pushed them around for

184
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: the last few years? They wanted to come in. They

185
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: kind of are the team that the Panthers have been

186
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: and have wanted to be. They wanted to be the bullies.

187
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: And it's it's all Ingram and Camara's kind of the

188
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Ingram and commercial. Like the first drive of the game,

189
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: Camara had four touches. They were all big games. He

190
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: lined up in a different spot on all four of

191
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: those plays, and I think that just kind of highlights

192
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: like what a serious problem he is on a week

193
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: to week basis. I was really struck in this game

194
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: by his strength a couple of a couple of play

195
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: near the goal line, a couple of times where he

196
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: took a good shot, stayed on his feet and got

197
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: more yards. And that's think nothing away by the way,

198
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: mark Ingram has kind of been in the background because

199
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: obviously Camara has been the rookie sensation third round pick,

200
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: but west Ingram has been um maybe not as explosive

201
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: but just as productive it's been. This is a kind

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: of legendary pairing this year. I think they're a perfect

203
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: compliment because Ingram, even though Camara has shown power, Ingram

204
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: is more of a between the trenches runner who can

205
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: do the passing game, whereas Camara is a passing game

206
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: guy who can do between the trenches. And Bucky Brooks

207
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: last week called them the best running back tandem in

208
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: NFL history. I mean, statistically, it's you could make the case.

209
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: Look at what they're doing since they traded Adrian Peterson,

210
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: We've never seen production like that out of a tandem. Amazing.

211
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: And and Greg Drew Brees again, we saw him save

212
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: the day against Washington a couple of weeks ago. But

213
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: this is back to that mode where he kind of

214
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: picks his spots where he helps the team. But this

215
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: is really of the backfields of the show here. Yeah,

216
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: they didn't protect him very well and so they just

217
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: had him, you know, throwing short passes, like with third

218
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: and ten late in the game, they're trying to you know,

219
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: run the clock out. The entire stadium knows it's going

220
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: to Komara and they throw at the Chimera and he

221
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: just makes you know, sixteen seventeen yard totally on his own,

222
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: but that goes and throw a breeze's statue. But it's

223
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: all the running back. But it's like they're like a

224
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: little they're a tandem and they're kind of playing it

225
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: up there doing all their interviews together, like you know

226
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: before they were getting ready, Like Alvin Camara is like

227
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: picking a little piece of wind out of mark Ingram's

228
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: you know beer, button Ingram is like straightening Camara's you

229
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: know hat. And I think like they they are best budds.

230
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: It sounds like from all and Kimara like he's the

231
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: star of the team and everyone kind of loves that.

232
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: Like it sounds it seems like he's just like such

233
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: a popular dude in that locker room over under two

234
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: weeks till they get a corny nickname. Oh it's coming

235
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: and Shook you're Chook, you're a huge NBA guy. Um no,

236
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: we're not doing this. One of the fun things about um,

237
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, the one two star dynamic and basketball is yeah,

238
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: with like the press conferences in the silly suits and stuff.

239
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: So maybe the NFL has one in the in this backfield.

240
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: They can they can start wearing stupid glasses and bad suits.

241
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: We we can't call Alvin uh And and Mark peanut

242
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: butter and jelly. But I think we are overlooking a

243
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: great chipmunk's reference seeing that his name is Alvin. It

244
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: took me until two weeks ago to even have this epiphany. Yeah,

245
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: the Chipmunks have never been more relevant. So let we

246
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: we must go down that road exactly, Greg, what else

247
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: was what was the scene like down there by the way.

248
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: People are in love with the Saints. They always have been,

249
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: but now they have a very special team. Yeah, you

250
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: get you get a late you know, this game was

251
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: flexed into the later afternoon, so you're getting the town

252
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: all looped up from about nine in the morning until

253
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: three in the afternoon. I mean, like it's a different

254
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: it's a different city when the Saints are good. I

255
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: mean the thing it's basically a one sport town and

256
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: I know they have the NBA here, but it's just

257
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing quite like it. The whole streets are just

258
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: like jammed and and it's a fun team. I mean that.

259
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: I think that they're all happy that the Thames players,

260
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: like Kim Jordan was talking, it's been a long time

261
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: since they've been in meetingful games like this late in

262
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: the season, and they're you know, they're trying to they're

263
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: trying to enjoy it. Greg. That is your old stomping grounds.

264
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: And you know, we assume that hopefully you'll get out

265
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: tonight and make it happen. But question for you, how

266
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: often have you stopped on the street by you know,

267
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: football fans and just citizens who remember your run there

268
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: and just people kind of shot to see you in

269
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: person by running running through the park? I mean, was

270
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: going on your colossal social life that you've referenced many

271
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: times on this spot. Sometimes the air. Sometimes you had

272
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: to go to parks to pick up things. I haven't

273
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: been stopped on on the street at all, trying to

274
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: keep keep a low profile. You know, I'm not getting noticed.

275
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: How many grenades are gonna throw it back after we

276
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: get off the phone? Here, hand grenade, Hurricane, I'm gonna

277
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: have nine hand grenade, you know, after you after he's

278
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: done that a few times at the enough. But I'm

279
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: gonna go meet some friends. I still gotta I still

280
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: gotta write for quite a bit. Forget the writing, get

281
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: out there and have some This is a good perfect example, Greg,

282
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: where you can mail in a column. Go enjoy yourself

283
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: because morty years from now, um, let's give you fifty

284
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: years from now, when your your body's breaking down and

285
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: it's near the end, is the column your ranks tonight

286
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,960

287
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: you're old stopping grounds. Remember either one of them because

288
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: you know after two or three years it's all awash. Yeah,

289
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: you don't have a great memory. All right, Greg, we

00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: that sucker in and then go have some fun. All right,

292
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: I'll see you guys. I think he's going to listen

293
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: to the advice. I think we swayed him away from

294
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: a what would have been a workman like evening. Let's

295
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: move on quick, snap back to God. He's gonna row

296
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: he pump Fis gets it out. Sammy Watkins crossing pattern

297
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: near side touchdown. Sammy Watkins from the far side of

298
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: the field, works across the middle. Goff found him from

299
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: a tough arm angle and Watkins goes in for his

300
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: six touchdown of the season and the Rams expand their lead.

301
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: JB Long KESPN with the call. Jared Goff pass for

302
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Los Angeles took advantage of some mistakes from

303
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: Blamee Gabbert, and the Rams tightened their death grip on

304
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: the NFC West a thirty two to sixteen win over

305
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals West. What did you learn about the

306
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: Rams today? Gregg mentioned this last week, But they have

307
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: the best special teams in football. And on a day

308
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: when the offense to me look kind of ordinary and

309
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips run defense was uh, kind of slashed by

310
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: Kerwin Williams running through gaping home John Bones Fossils special

311
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: teams came up big. Greg Zerline is leading the NFL

312
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: and points. He had four more field goals and has

313
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: more vel goals through twelve games in NFL history than

314
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: a kick or ever. Uh. Johnny Hecker is the best

315
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: punter in football. Had a big game. Pharaoh Cooper had

316
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: another big return. Michael Brock Michael Brocker's blocked a field

317
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: goal attempt in the fourth quarter. The Rams kind of

318
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: just took that alec Ogletree pick six on Blaine Gabbert

319
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, jumped out to an early lead

320
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: and cruised from there. But they didn't seem to be

321
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: clicking on all cylinders. Kind of good to see them

322
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: when if this was maybe an ugly game or one

323
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: where they're not you know, high octane. Them's the way

324
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: they have been another other affairs, I mean Arizona this,

325
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, this was their season obviously were probably already

326
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: was weeks ago. But is there any hope with Blaine

327
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: Gabbert as a starter order or we seen a performance

328
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: to day that kind of wipes that some of that

329
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: chatter away. He had a few good plays. The first

330
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: interception was off one ft and it was a floater

331
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: that was easily picked in the pick six. But the

332
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: play that bothered me was he was scrambling for a

333
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: first down and he slid two yards short of the

334
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: sticks with only one man to be an open field,

335
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: and it's like, what do you think again? Why not

336
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: go for the first down there? It bothered me to

337
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: the point where I don't I don't know. Wait, what

338
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: are you gonna do to him? What are you hinting at?

339
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm just like Bruce arians talking about him possibly being

340
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: the starter in two thousand eighteen and other people talking about,

341
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, anytime you can get a former first round

342
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: pick with some obvious physical talent. He has a chance

343
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: to turn his career around. But but things like that

344
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 1: bothered me to the point where I just don't think

345
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: I could see him being the starter. I thought you

346
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: were about to declare some vengeance. I feel like the

347
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: football gods have already declared Vengeon, so I'm playing gambe team.

348
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: That's true. I feel like it. It sounds like that

349
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: was a business decision, you know, considering his future. I

350
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: don't know, do you really is he making a business

351
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: business decision in the heat of the moment like that?

352
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't done enough where where you know,

353
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: if he keeps himself healthy, if you're gonna say, listen,

354
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: this guy is a plug and play starter if you're

355
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: one of these six or seven QB needy teams. No,

356
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't He hasn't done enough. Ted Gin has been

357
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: making a career out of making business decisions for well

358
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: over a decade. That's having a good year. That's certainly true.

359
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, I got a little shout out

360
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: here for the team of a t l um. First

361
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: of all, West made some sandwiches today, um, And we

362
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: don't like to dig into our uh preseason prediction results

363
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: until after the season, but in this case, well earned West.

364
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: Because you predicted that the Rams would have a winning record,

365
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: we all disagreed. And guess what. The Rams at nine

366
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: and three clinch a winning season, and uh, they're gonna

367
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: win a few more games before it's all said and done.

368
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: Very nice season for the team of a t one

369
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: of the great turnarounds in NFL history, one of the

370
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: great transformations going. I believe there. Their point differential is

371
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: the third highest transformation ever and their difference in points

372
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: per game is the highest ever. Hawks up next to Yeah,

373
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh Coach of the Year. Let's slide over to

374
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: the a f C second an interests get the tide

375
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: like kits on the outside, ride give the birth. Cady

376
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: runs it off the middle, speak past the times, squashing

377
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: heavy tween the vendors for a touchdown. Patriots Bob Sochy

378
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: w b Z and I heard Zolak there too, or

379
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: you get to him in a minute. Anyway, business as

380
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: usual on the throne of ease. Rex Burke had scored

381
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: twice on the ground and the Patriots won their eighth straight,

382
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: beating the Buffalo Bills twenty three to three in Orchard Park.

383
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: Mark the Bills put up a respectable fight on the

384
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, but you gotta score points.

385
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor before he got hurt, didn't do anything, and

386
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: nobody else did either. The Bills just didn't get the

387
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: job done. Yeah, I mean, you can look at the

388
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: score twenty three to three and think, well, this probably

389
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: was just a wipeout from start to finish. But the

390
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: Bills really frustrated Tom Brady to the point where early

391
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: in the game, Brady got into Josh mcdeal space and

392
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: was going nuts. And those guys are buds. I mean,

393
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: you just don't see that kind of confrontation between Brady

394
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: and his in his play call are really ever And

395
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: so he was extremely frustrated. He was running for his

396
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: life for early on, and it was really a situation.

397
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right where the Bills started the game out

398
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: and I mentioned to Dan, like, this quarter is halfway

399
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: over where other games were like two minutes in. Still

400
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: they chewed up the clock, went all the way down

401
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: to the to New England's six yard line, and Taylor

402
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: through a really ridiculous pick to Eric Lee. And Eric

403
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: Lee is this guy that was on Buffalo's practice squad

404
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: has played one game that before this for the Patriots.

405
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: Last week had a sack, Today, got another sack, a

406
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: couple of past defense all over the place, all over

407
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: in Tyrod Taylor's business and providing pass rush. So if

408
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: we're still gonna ride this, and I think no one

409
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: is this point in this narrative that New England's defense

410
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 1: lacks X, Y, and Z. It's another game where they

411
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: gave up three points. They gave Buffalo no chance in offensively,

412
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: and Eric Lee is a emerging presence for this defense.

413
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: If you can keep it up. That's a classic Intel

414
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: move too. You signed a former guy a couple of

415
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: weeks beforehand, he goes off against his former team at

416
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: vintage Belichick. Yes that, by the way, fifteen straight seasons

417
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: now for ten plus wins for the Patriots. Credible? Are

418
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Um? And um? Tyrod Taylor injured his

419
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: knee in this game, Marcus early on, and he heard it, Yeah,

420
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: he heard it very early. And you know, like they said,

421
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: Tony Romo was announcing this and he basically said, there's

422
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: no way Tyrod Taylor is gonna take himself out of

423
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: this game unless he simply cannot go. But by the end,

424
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: it got more serious and he just Nathan Peterman finished

425
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: the game. At that point, it was it was a

426
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: loss of her Lashaw McCoy another game where I thought

427
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: he ran really well, but there's just not enough in

428
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: this offense to challenge a team like New England. They

429
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: cannot finish drives. Yeah, and on the Gronk play, So

430
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: this was this will be a big talking point uh

431
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: this week, especially a big talking point if you or

432
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: your opponent has Rob Gronkowski and fantasy because late in

433
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: this game, the Patriots tight end was going deep on

434
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: a route. Bill's cornerback Tradavious White um was getting a

435
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: little handsy with Gronk. No flag came, and then White

436
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: had an interception and then a fresh ray to Gronk,

437
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: who who said that he feels like he's been getting

438
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: hit with crazy you know, penalties and not getting I

439
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: guess called from Uh. He pile drives himself helmet first

440
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: into White when White was prone like face down, uh,

441
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: and leads with his helmet and there is talk that

442
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: Gronk could be suspended next week. Now he wasn't even

443
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: kicked out of this game, but west there is um

444
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: some talk that based on the nature of the hit

445
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: and how defenseless White was that Gronk, who is not

446
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: known as a dirty player, uh, committed a play dirty

447
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: enough that it could cost him a game. I I

448
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: appreciate Gronk's prostration because he's like the shack of the NFL.

449
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: He's really hard to officiate and a lot of calls

450
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: do it go against him? Uh, And I credit him

451
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: for a real apology, not a fake one with qualifications.

452
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: But you can't do what he did, and he deserves

453
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: to be punished. And it wouldn't surprise me at all

454
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 1: if he's suspended. And I think it's telling that Bill

455
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: Belichick apologize to Sean McDermott and called it a BS move.

456
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: Let's let's hear what speaking of good Zillac, Let's here um,

457
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: how he as the color guy for I think it's

458
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: w b Z in Boston, how he reacted to Gronk's

459
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: cheap shop, look good enough class girls, a long ball

460
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: whine for Gronos, the color jack. His wife pushers off

461
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: and makes a catch on a water SUPs white photo

462
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: fly bills. A late fly comes in, then a second

463
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: late flag trunk pushed. Meanwhile, you've got another flag in

464
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the field at the thirty five yard line.

465
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks was engaged with one of the bills for

466
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: holding him the whole way. Then they pushed him. Why

467
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: came down on the sideline, and then Gronkowski landed on

468
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: top of White and I think made you too for

469
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: good for him? What? Good for him? Good for him?

470
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: Good for him? Talk about someone down in some hurricane

471
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: before the game. You know, crazy here, But it's one

472
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: thing to be a homer in the box and a

473
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: lot to places, A lot of teams have homers in

474
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: the box. But it's come back to it. We can

475
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: celebrate him most of the time. But that's I mean,

476
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: paint the picture accurately. Please, Well, it's kind of well,

477
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: he's really he's like, good for him? Is I W? Yeah? Exactly.

478
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: You kind of deal with a little bit of bias here.

479
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: I think I go back and think about the last

480
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: four or five quote unquote dirty moves that happened in

481
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: football in the you know, last half decade or whatever,

482
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: and Dominicans who obviously comes to mind immediately, and then

483
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: you even thinking about Kiko Alonso's hit on Joe Flaccer

484
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: earlier this year, which could have could not have been dirty.

485
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: I think this one is right at the top. Yeah,

486
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: we'll see how the NFL reacts to it. And uh,

487
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: let's move right along. It's intercepting. Good for him, happening

488
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: back to US five touch down driving m V at

489
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: the m V Prix. I don't I don't know that's

490
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: all about. But Jerry Sandusky and just for st w

491
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: b Ale b Ale with the call, Eric Weddle the

492
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: scoring with a pick six, Joe Flacco through for to

493
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: sixty nine the two touchdowns. That's like real quarterback stats

494
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: and the Baltimore Ravens too much for the Lions. Uh

495
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: A forty four to win further solidifies Baltimore's play oppositioning

496
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: shook every week. The Ravens defense makes things happen. This

497
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: was no exception best game for Eric Weddle as a

498
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: raven had a fantastic outing. He was one foot shy

499
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: of having an interception in the back of the end

500
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: zone in the first half. He was was ruled out

501
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: of bounce he only got a foot down. Then he

502
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: forced a fumble on a safety blitz uh sacking Stafford

503
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: from behind, knocking the ball out and it was a

504
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: It was almost a scoop and score, but they recovered

505
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: it led to a score for them, and then he

506
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: has the pick six that caps it that we heard there,

507
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: and you know, just a fantastic day for who I

508
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: think is really the heart and soul the back into

509
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: their defense and somebody who they're going to have to

510
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: rely on for leadership more as we go on, because

511
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith is now out for the year with an

512
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: achilles injury, which he suffered in this game the gloss.

513
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: But this Ravens defense, you know, they've they've really improved

514
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: as we've gotten from basically the middle point of the

515
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: season onward to where every week they're harassing opposing passers

516
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: and it was no different on Sunday. Matt Stafford had

517
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: very little time to throw all day, and then to

518
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: make matters worse, they lost their right guard and the

519
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: right tackle uh t J. Lange and Rick Wagner. Neither

520
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: of them returned, so then he's just running for his

521
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: life even more, which led to him having suffering a

522
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: hand injury near the end of that game, and uh

523
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: and it ended up being a really bad bruise, but

524
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's the thing. The wheels just fell off

525
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: for the Lions really quickly, and what was a competitive

526
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: game really like three acts to this game. We had

527
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: the first half where Flacco goes all out. He he

528
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: exceeds his passing average, you know, per game in the

529
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: first half alone. He hooks up with Mike Wallace a

530
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: couple of times deep, they end up in the end zone.

531
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: And then the second half they just run out of

532
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: gas offensively for about a quarter and a half and

533
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: the Lions are right back in it, and then the

534
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: wheels fall off for them and the Ravens runaway with Yeah,

535
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I remain completely suspicious of this offense. But

536
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: you've won four or five if you're the Ravens, and

537
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: you've got after the Steelers next week, the Browns, Cults,

538
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: and Bengals. This is a team that can finish ten

539
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: and six. They they've taken control of that final six

540
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: a f C spot in the playoffs, and you know,

541
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: barring some sort of implosion, which on offense feels possible

542
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: but not on defense, there will be your playoff team.

543
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: This defense is nearing historical levels in terms of performance,

544
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: and the offense just needs to do enough. I'm talking,

545
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, early two thousands, Ravens defenses. Do we think

546
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: they're better than Pittsburgh's defense, though, that's a good question.

547
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: Baltimore's numbers on defense are inflated by facing some of

548
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: the weakest collection of quarterbacks we've seen. They're legit and

549
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: without Jimmy Smith, who was a legitimate Pro Bowl guy

550
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: and among the top five cornerbacks in football this year.

551
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: They do have Marlon Humphrey, who was a good first

552
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: round pick. They've got some depth there, but but Mimmy Smith,

553
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: that's a big loss. And to consider this another Latavil

554
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: Magnifico on the Lions. If there are Lions fans out

555
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: there that think this team should be a playoff team season,

556
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There's six and six. The door is not closed,

557
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: but you know, there's like a little there's a little

558
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: sliver of light at the edge of the doorway. That's

559
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: how closed it almost is. The Lions are a seven

560
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,239
Speaker 1: and nine, six and ten team that was masquerading as

561
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: potentially in nine and seven, ten and six team, but

562
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: they've come back to earth and in games like this

563
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: it shows the same thing they were last year. All right,

564
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: let's move forward, second down and goal inside the one

565
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: and again We're gonna try and move the pile and

566
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: see if they can get jos Per Cown in the

567
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: end zone. Now the officials will come in from either side.

568
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: There was the signal. Then it is finally another Chet touchdown.

569
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: Jos Per Town comes out of the pile, spikes the football.

570
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: All right, Bob was was shooesing, uh w E p

571
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: n with the call. Yeah, that's not a joke. I

572
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: think the Jets had literally ten plays from inside the

573
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: five yard line before that go ahead score in the

574
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter anyway, So but count puts the Jets ahead

575
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: for good that sneak with two fifteen to play, and

576
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: the Jets overcame a slow store, a slow start and

577
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: their fourth quarter demons in a one win over the Chiefs,

578
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: who are now unbelievable six and six after their five

579
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: and oh start. And this was a game of The

580
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs jumped out to a fourteen nothing lead in the

581
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: first five minutes of the game. Travis Kelsey two touchdowns,

582
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: looked like they had gotten healthy and are about to

583
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: romp and then it just it didn't come together for

584
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and uh the Jets were in control for

585
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: much of the game after that. Give or take a

586
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs chunk play, which happened quite often this game. That's

587
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: why if you're a Cheese fan, you're dying because for

588
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks, what's it been, six seven weeks where

589
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: they went from being this explosive offense, UM just tearing

590
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: everybody up with seam plays and and going off and

591
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: then it all disappears. Today came back. They had the

592
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 1: ball I believe, seventeen minutes of game time and scored

593
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: thirty one points and Tarik Hill had two long touchdowns.

594
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: Um Kelsey, as I said, had two touchdowns. Smith threw

595
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: for over three d yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions. He

596
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: even had a seventy yard run, one of my favorite

597
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: stat lines of the season. Uh, he averaged seventy yards

598
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: of rushed. Then it's pretty good, Like that's solid, and

599
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't enough, and you know why because the defense

600
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: laid an egg in a huge spot and and I

601
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: thought the end of the game. And that's what a

602
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: lot of people, uh, we're talking about after this game,

603
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: and we'll hear about it during the week, I'm sure. Um,

604
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: after that touchdown, the Jets went for two and um

605
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: McCown got flushed out of the pocket kind of threw

606
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: one up for grabs and they the Chiefs, get called

607
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: for holding and Marcus Peter, who flag was not on him,

608
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: but Marcus Peters is so enraged that he picks up

609
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 1: the penalty flag and fires it into the crowd at

610
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: the meadowlands and a bunch of young gentleman with Yamaka's

611
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: collected the flag and celebrate and take selfies. It's a

612
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: great It was a great little scene and known as

613
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: Jewish gentleman. Yeah, I assume, I don't know, not true.

614
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: I shouldn't make that as something I said I they

615
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: had now because probably Jewish man anyway, So um, he

616
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: walks off the field, but he didn't get ejected, and

617
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: it's still in the middle of the game one two

618
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: minutes of play. He shows back up a few minutes later,

619
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: running back onto the field with shoes on but no

620
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: socks and his pants up above his knee. Just I

621
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: thought it was a sloppy um performance by the Chiefs,

622
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: and that was like a fitting example, a fitting show

623
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: of what has happened to swaggering team once upon a time,

624
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: and now they're in they're in a bad spot. My

625
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: question is still first place but in a bad spot

626
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: going sockless. Is that like some silent protest here, I'm

627
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: gonna violate the league's dress code. I'm gonna remove my sock.

628
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: It probably started to undress basically, this is what I think.

629
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: That's that's what it made sense that he thought he

630
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: was ejected for throwing the flag, and then the CBS

631
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: team said, oh, Chief Stafford was seen him running up

632
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: the tunnel, probably to tell him, bro, not only are

633
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: you not ejected, We're going down the field to tie

634
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: the game and we might be going overtime. So he

635
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: comes back out. I wonder if he gets a fine

636
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: for the dress violation just stepping on the field, and

637
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna get fined for throwing the flag into the

638
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: crowd too, So costly, costly bit of lost composure there

639
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: for an Again, a person like when they undress, takes

640
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: their socks off first, uh second to less a dig

641
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: in on the socks pretty quick. Socks first before jeans

642
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: or shirt or anything. Probably pants first, well, shoes pants.

643
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes socks are like the last thing, thank you. Sometimes

644
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: you want to leave their socks on, sometimes you keep

645
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: sometimes check off. Anyway, so the chiefs offense comes back

646
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: to life. The defense falters on the Jet side again,

647
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: another really good performance in Josh McCown. Who's Who's the team?

648
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: M v p uh it took a while. Leap piece

649
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: is absolutely tweet worthy year old lee. It was a

650
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: two thousand four teen making the leap candidates something like that. Yeah,

651
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: he really another excellent game. He counted for three touchdowns,

652
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: he threw for over three hundred yards. And the Jets

653
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: faint playoff hopes. But they're not gonna take the playoffs.

654
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: But every week they've been entertaining. So to that, I said,

655
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: even though they're not going to get a high draft pick,

656
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: I've had fun watching him this year. And one last

657
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: note before I throw it to the old man, Darrell

658
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: Rivas uh the old Revenge Bowl for Darrell. He missed

659
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: a couple of tackles in the first half, was given

660
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: up a huge cushion to receivers, and at some point

661
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: I guess and Reid saw, I said I've seen enough.

662
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: He was benched for the second half. So the Jets

663
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: may have paid Darrell Rievas over five million dollars to

664
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: play against him today, but they might have also ended

665
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: his career. Let's see if Reeves gets back on the

666
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: If he's even on this roster by the end of

667
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: the year, well that's what I mean. I he I

668
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: don't think he could play anymore. He looked exactly the

669
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: same guy, even though he went vegan mark and lost weight. Well,

670
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't describe it to that. He wasn't vegan last year.

671
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: What were the just connecting dots? He went wildly can

672
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: and he got benched today. That's all. That's all I know. Anyway.

673
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: Usually when my dad's on the show, he's he's upset

674
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: about the Jets, but let's hear him when something good

675
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: happens for Gang Green. Now his name is Keith, He's

676
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: stands He'll doubt about it. He's a big Jets fan.

677
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: Well does he go to saying game to say? Well,

678
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: does he goes game to say? They went to the

679
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: Jet And a big reason was that rung on in

680
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter barely, but they didn't make the penalties.

681
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: Mcgawans played great offense, played great wolder a eight yards.

682
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: On the negative side, that defense reminded methicually of this secondary.

683
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: It was like playing touch football on the street. Yeah,

684
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: you know, getting it in the huddle and saying I'll

685
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: go be you know, And that's what was happening in

686
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: time after time. They win, but they were lucky to

687
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: get over their life. They were the Jets secondary was

688
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: overmatched by Tyreek hill Um, but somehow they survived and

689
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs fall into a first place tie with who. Well,

690
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about him right now. Rivers looking to

691
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: the middle throws Keenan Allen touchdown, Chargers knock out, not Money? Sorry,

692
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: can I hear that again? Rivers looking to the middle

693
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: throws Keenan Allen touchdown, Chargers knock out. Let's let's put

694
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: that in the running for the top ten calls of

695
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: the year. I do wonder if anybody know what that means.

696
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: By the way, knock on wood, like, you know, like

697
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: you're saying something and I don't want to jinx it,

698
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: so I knock on wood. So we just don't have

699
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: the context clues necessary to put it together. I thought

700
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: there was maybe somebody named Wood on the Brown's defense

701
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: used to last week too, though. I think it's maybe

702
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: a catchphrase. Yeah, it's a catch phrase. Let's yeah, let's

703
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: let's reach out to money pride at Lee and see

704
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: if we can get it will he even respond to us? Yeah? Anyway,

705
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers uh um got three forty four yards and

706
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown from Philip Bridge Rivers, and their defense took

707
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: advantage of uh more Deshaun Kaiser mistakes. Is. The Chargers

708
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: move into a tie for first place in the a

709
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: f C West with a nineteen to ten victory over Yes,

710
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: the still winless Cleveland Browns. Mark given l a surge

711
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: and Casey's swoon, would it be a surprise to you

712
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: if the Bolts don't win the a f C West

713
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get to another team in a few

714
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: minutes that's also tied for first place, but the Charges,

715
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: would it surprised you if they don't come out of

716
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: this with the crown? Of course, they were my Super

717
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: Bowl pick. You know, I knew they got out to

718
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: a tough start, but I saw this, you know, coming

719
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch, the entire way, so I'm not surprised

720
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: at all. They do look like of the contending teams,

721
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: these three six and six teams in the West, the

722
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: one that you'd want to not deal with if you

723
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: were an opposing playoff team. That they've got enough. They're

724
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: imperfect in many ways, yet they've got a lot of

725
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: elements to them that make them a real threat. It

726
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: starts with their pass rush, but they piled up four

727
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine yards on offense, and they had

728
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: scoring drives against Cleveland, who kind of kept this Cleveland's defense.

729
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: It's maybe it's very Greg Williams type of thing, where

730
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: you feel like they are keeping you in a game

731
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: and they're playing a little bit above their heads. They've

732
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: got a couple of good young players, but they're also

733
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: giving up four hundred and fifty yards and scoring drives

734
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: A twelve, eleven, ten, ten and seven place, So they're

735
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: not and you know, we don't even need to deal

736
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: with Cleveland's offense at this point. But when you have

737
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen playing the way that he has over the

738
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: last three weeks, this guy has been on fire. Four

739
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty six yards, thirty three catches and four

740
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns over the past three games. True, very average. The

741
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: rest of it shines, but I really look at I

742
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: look at them as saying that they've overcome a lot

743
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: of nonsense this season. They I don't know what their

744
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: fate will be, but I would take the Chargers over

745
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in a minute, right now, in a minute.

746
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm kind of sorry that Greg's not here to throw

747
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: in his math about crappy teams like the Raiders and

748
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins still being in the mix. And the Chargers are

749
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: the third best team in the a f C, right

750
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: behind the Steelers and Patriots. I don't care about their

751
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: missed field goals early in the season. Right now, they're

752
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: the third best team in the a f C. And

753
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about like, Okay, the Raiders

754
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: still have a chance or the Chiefs have the same record.

755
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: It would be a shock if the Chargers don't win

756
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: this division. You make shock Chargers. Nice, nice, But I'll

757
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: throw one thing out there. Everything you're saying makes sense,

758
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: West and Mark many good points by you as well,

759
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: but not everything made sense that I that I said

760
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: that Charger is gonna Charger too. That's the one thing.

761
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: I don't think they're that team anymore. They've been that

762
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: team for sixty years. Doesn't stay with you forever, though.

763
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: But by the way, the Studs are gonna chief and

764
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna Raider, and they play both those

765
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: teams down the stretch. They also have the Jets and

766
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: the Redskins. I just think that the Chargers, to me,

767
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: are much more going on than anyone else in that division.

768
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, the more confident we are about them,

769
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: I feel karmically more danger that they are in I

770
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: hear you. I just want to protect them because I

771
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: think they would be a fun entry in an ANFC

772
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: playoff field that certainly could use the juice. I think

773
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: it's dangerous to play the what if game because you

774
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: know you can do that with almost any team, and

775
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: that's how you, you know, get yourself through the off

776
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: season after your team finishes seven and nine and you know,

777
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: we were so close if only a couple of games

778
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: went our way. But I think you can actually play

779
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: that game with this Chargers team to validate where they

780
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: are because record wise, yeah, they're six and six and

781
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: they're in a week division now record wise, but realistically

782
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: they should be more like eight and four or even

783
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: nine and three. Yeah. One, I shouldn't mention Josh Gordon

784
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: uh four catches eighty five yards. You know, if he

785
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: had a quarterback that wasn't hysterically overthrowing wide receivers all

786
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: all game, he could have easily had a hundred and

787
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: fifty yards in this game. I mean, he looked like

788
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: a guy that just stepped out of a time machine

789
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: from and he looked fine. He looked great. That's that's

790
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: a good sign. I heard a lot of skepticism about

791
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: how he'd be playing, and you're you're exactly right. I mean,

792
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: it looked like he pretty much didn't miss a beat

793
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: until late in the game when he ran like a

794
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: thirty yard route or whatever. And then they I had

795
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: to go no huddle and you ended up jogging back

796
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: off the field because he's probably out of shape, which

797
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta play yourself into game shape. And

798
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: otherwise he looked great. Shook, You've got four chances left

799
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: to win a game. See right now, I'm sitting in

800
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: Greg's seat, so me and Mark are very far away

801
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: from each other. The bond remains strong in this in

802
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: this um, this this slog that we go through, this

803
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: this march, answer the question toward history, where's your where's

804
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: your p level? If you want to sit in Greg' spot,

805
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you a question. All right, you underpants

806
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: yet the hands and uh me a gym underpants? So

807
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: the nice and snug an you win your gym pants

808
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: and the gym pants also pretty snug, and you win

809
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: one of those big belts, blue ones that the strong

810
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: men at the gym ware, and it won't be easy

811
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: to to to get to the bathroom and then take

812
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: down your pants. So you have a tough spot. Where

813
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: where is pie scale? Are you at ten? Which would

814
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: be oh my god, I'll never get this workout belt

815
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: for strong men off? My pants are gonna be soaked

816
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: in front of the gym in the world? Or are

817
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: you one? My pants are no danger? Or unders three?

818
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: The Browns have in their final four games, have two

819
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: semi decent chances against the NFC North in the Green

820
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 1: Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. With a Brat Hundley

821
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: on the schedule. That's good, the ladder is coming in Chicago.

822
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: But the Browns are also from the Midwest and could

823
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: thrive in a potential snow game. They're a flip side

824
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: here is that of the shook and I when we

825
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: were happiest today, when we were celebrating, was when the

826
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: Niners one. Because like Chris, you don't want it. You

827
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: don't want a meaningless victory that somehow removes you from

828
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,959
Speaker 1: the number one draft pick. At this stage, I want

829
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: you I want you guys to get the first pick again. Um,

830
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: as long as that happens, I want to win. Don't

831
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: don't lose all sixteen. I'm just saying you guys, don't

832
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: think it's I mean, I'm not trying to think of

833
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 1: that Sunday Mark, thank you coming up to the studio

834
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: week seventeen. If the Browns go on sixteen, just won't

835
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: be fun to talk about. Just get a win, Get

836
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: a win, get the number one pick if it comes.

837
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: If you have to go, oh in sixteen yet list point,

838
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: you could say it couldn't crash anymore darker than it

839
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: has at this point. I mean it has been since

840
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon last played. Their record is insane. It is

841
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: historically unmatched in the wrong way. That's that's good stuff.

842
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 1: All right. Let's uh check in on the final first

843
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: place right West writers going to an eye Alla Walla

844
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: ahead of Marshawn Lynch first and Janet the midfield off

845
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: the right side. Big hold, let's just go dirty trotty

846
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: ten five base mode touchdown riders fifty one yard. Let's

847
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: put that on the list from Greg Papa because not

848
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: only is a nice run by beast Mode uh at

849
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: just a classic call. Greg Papa is one of the

850
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: best of the business. Marsh On Lynch fifty one yard

851
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: touchdown run uh in the first quarter, that was and

852
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: they had his first one yard rushing game since coming

853
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: out of retirement. And the Raiders win over Geno Smith

854
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: and the New York Giants. Uh. The Raiders who have

855
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: played poorly for so much of the season are yes,

856
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: suddenly in a three way tie for first place in

857
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: the a f C West. Go freaking figure and um,

858
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: think about it. I mean, no one is gonna throw

859
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: no lollipop pops will be handed out for beating the Giants,

860
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: especially at this juncture with just the circus that's going

861
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: on at the meadow Lands. But they did win this

862
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: game without Michael Crabtree suspended or Marii Cooper who was hurt. Uh.

863
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: And they now have a modest two game winning streak.

864
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: They are in the mix. And Yes, as bad as

865
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: they've been this season, um, they are essentially in a

866
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: similar spot there where last year when they were surgingy

867
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: because they're going back and forth with the Chiefs at

868
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: a high level. Here they are again a chance to

869
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: win the division. So let's see if they ever wake

870
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: up and wake up for the slumber. But West, I

871
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: think you, uh, you've hinted often in this show alone

872
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: that you just don't see it ever happening. The Raiders

873
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: are a bad team. I don't care what their record is.

874
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: They show every week that they're a bad team, and

875
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: they struggled to get past the Giants, who are a

876
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: horrendous team. No, I'm not convinced the Raiders are anywhere

877
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: close to making the playoffs. This game. I mean, you know,

878
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot to say about Geno Smith, but closing

879
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: out the first half, he had two lost fumbles, and

880
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: he he did some things I think that we're positive today.

881
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's not. He wasn't an outright disaster. That's

882
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: just not the case. But the turnovers, this is this,

883
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: this is the d n A that we've seen with

884
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: him in the past. And like they they had the

885
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: ball I think it was at the you know, the

886
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: Raiders inside the ten yard line, like five six yard

887
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 1: lard line and lost the fumble and the game is

888
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: decided by seven points. That changed everything in this game. Well,

889
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: that's who he is and that's why and I can't

890
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: debate it with Greg, but why I've always been puzzled

891
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: why Greg has been on the Gino coaster and and

892
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: thought that this is the guy who could salvage his career.

893
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: Is he's always been a turnover prone quarterback who's kind

894
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: of a knucklehead. Like even after today's game, he's like

895
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: bringing up some some beef with Rex Ryan, Uh with

896
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: the press, It's just like, what are you what are

897
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: you doing? Bro? Like, who is advising you on how

898
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 1: to go about uh a professional sports career? Because every

899
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: step of the way, it's just off. And yeah, so

900
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, you can be a knuckle headed many different positions,

901
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,959
Speaker 1: but you can't be a knuckle headed quarterback. No, And

902
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 1: you wonder what happens like Ben McAdoo. A report today

903
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: rap sheet had it, we had it's been floating around

904
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: that McAdoo could be fired um as soon as tomorrow,

905
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,479
Speaker 1: and by the time people are listening to this would

906
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 1: not shock me, And I guess I'm wondering. I'm curious

907
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: the Giants, we've been over this. They titanically botched the

908
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: situation in terms of how they handled such an important

909
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: player in the franchise history. I wonder if they fire McAdoo,

910
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: would they ever go back to ELI for the rest

911
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: of the season, which would be weird, but it happened, right,

912
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 1: It depends do they care about morale outside of the building,

913
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: because internally, if you fire your coach, that's already at

914
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: an at a low point and you're gonna change that

915
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: once the office that helped morale. I don't think he's

916
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: a very popular guy. Well no, I'm talking about, you know,

917
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: bringing ELI back. If they were to fire macadoo, that

918
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: that would change the fan moral outside the building. But

919
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: the thing is with this and it would help repair

920
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: the relationship potentially, and I think that's a big part

921
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: of this. I think that's why McAdoo could go is

922
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: the Giants turned scramble mode to try to an owners share.

923
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 1: This right an ownership essentially by doing that, could you're

924
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: you're basically just blaming it all on maculd do. But

925
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 1: that's the thing is this decision sounded like a group decision.

926
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was too. Wasn't the prone office want

927
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: to see these young kids? Or do you know Smith

928
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: and Davis Webb Right, it's it's a decision where a

929
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: lot of people were jumping away from any accountability, and

930
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: they could they could bubble up a big scapegoat and

931
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: Macadoo and way, that was the guy who did the

932
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: way it's been painted and maybe it is scapegoating. Is

933
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: that Macadoo kind of ran with the idea and it

934
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: wasn't flagged in time and it was just like a

935
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: huge miscommu occation at a grizzly level. For I just

936
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: don't I don't think that's possible, because there's no way

937
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: of Macadoo, who already was in hot water, they were

938
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna allow him to end the streak, which if anything,

939
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: we we don't have to go back whatever. But yeah, yeah, um,

940
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: here's what McAdoo had to do when asked about his

941
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: tenuous grip on a job. I'm on coaches team as

942
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: long as uh my key card works all right? Cool?

943
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: And Marshawn Lynch one last note, Um he you know

944
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: he doesn't like talking to the media. He got back

945
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: to his locker and had a notice for a he

946
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: had to provide a urine sample, so he ducked out

947
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: of the interview and uh told reporters he had to

948
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: give his quote. Ding Ding sauce ding Ding sauce. That

949
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: is a new term. Let's move on shotgun for Bortles

950
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: four and after running back like drops the crawl look

951
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: now looks like you may throw it into the back

952
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: of the end on the balls from the touchdown markis

953
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: Lee portal to Lee from the four and Jacksonville right first.

954
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: Frank Frangie w j x L with the call. Blake

955
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: Bortles two touchdown passes, Leonard Fournett found the end zone.

956
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: It's been a while since that happened in the Jaguars

957
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: beat up on the Colts thirty to ten West. This

958
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: was another one of those games where Blake Bortles makes

959
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: a few throws and as you wonder if the Jacks

960
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: could do something like this in January. No lollipops for

961
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Was it possible entering this game against an undermanned,

962
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 1: talent deficient Colts defense for Blake Bortles to win converts?

963
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: No matter what he did in this game, the Jaguars

964
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: are going to the playoffs. Nothing he does against the

965
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: Colts matters. What manners is what he does against playoff

966
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: caliber teams. And Marquise Lee had a really good game today.

967
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: To me, like a career best kind of game. Bortles

968
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: had a pretty good game, uh for him, an excellent game.

969
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: But I just don't think you have takeaways against the Colts. Yeah,

970
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: It's like, had they not taken care of business against

971
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: the Colts, we'd be going utterly nuts right now, right well,

972
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: we'd be beating up on Blake Bortles because that would

973
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: mean he probably threw two or three interceptions. He did

974
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: his job and and but I guess my point is

975
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: is that these are the type of games you kind

976
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: of need to see to talk yourself into the Jaguars

977
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: being an actual team in January. And he's had a

978
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: few of those. I think the games you need to

979
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: see her against good team. Yeah, and he's coming off

980
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: a game where he turned his head coach into a

981
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: basket case with the game on the line. That's that's

982
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: what Blake Bortles is. Yeah, he's not hundred nineteen point

983
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: eight passer rating. He's not he's not three nine yards

984
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: to touchdowns. That's not that's not Blake Bortles. Blake Portles

985
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: is half of that. And then hoping that the rest

986
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: of the team can. Yeah. And I think though, like

987
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: if you if you find a competent quarterback in the

988
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: off season. You're looking at a team with very few weaknesses,

989
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: and so I don't need them to arrive entirely this year.

990
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen in January. None

991
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: of us do. But this was a huge step. It

992
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: continues to be a stepping stone year of the the

993
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: highest order for Jacks until a lot of progress has

994
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: been made. They are seven and oh when they hold

995
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: teams to ten points, are fewer, which means they are

996
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: one and four when the other team scores more than

997
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: ten points which points to your problem on offense. The

998
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: defense is legit and Jalen Ramsey had a red zone

999
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 1: interception today. Class Campbell set the franchise record for saxon

1000
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 1: the season with a month ago. Yeah, I'm not all

1001
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: looking forward to the end of this season at all,

1002
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: but I am super excited for the nonsensical prognostication that

1003
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: will surround the Jaguars quarterback position. In those who are available,

1004
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: that will be wild. Uh. One last note that Jack

1005
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: swept the home and home uh with the cult so

1006
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: the first time since the a f C South was

1007
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: founded in two thousand two and its current incarnation. Let's

1008
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: move on the monster. Henry is back there. Play fake

1009
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: Mariota floats down the middle. Look at the five Titans.

1010
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: You know who that is. Mike Keith w g f

1011
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: X with the call. Marcus Mariota through for one touchdown,

1012
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: rush for another, and the Titans overcame another slow start

1013
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: to beat the texanst Tennessee has now won six of

1014
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: its last seven UH and remain the top the af

1015
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: C South shook the Titoons. They never blow you away,

1016
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: but credit were credits? Do there? Stacking wins? Uh, they're

1017
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 1: stacking wins, but this one was so ugly they became.

1018
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: They took the torch from the Panthers, who had a

1019
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, competitive game that that you know, put them

1020
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: a little bit higher up. They took the torch and

1021
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: they are now the least convincing competitive team in professional

1022
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: football in my opinion. Right now they are eight gratulations. Guys.

1023
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: They they own the Titoon's nickname, and today was perhaps

1024
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: the most ty tooony of their performances. The first half

1025
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: they were down tend to nothing and somehow found a

1026
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: way to erase that deficit right before halftime, which really

1027
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: speaks to how bad the Texans are with Tom Savage

1028
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: under center, but even throughout most of this game, they

1029
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: could never separate themselves. Yeah, they won two to thirt team,

1030
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: but that last touchdown came on a run that all

1031
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: they needed was the first down and there was no

1032
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: one there to tackle Derrick Henry, which is where the

1033
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: majority of his rushing yards came today, which is on

1034
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: one play for seventy five yards as a whole. For

1035
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: a team that I know can do certain things, I

1036
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: know they can run the ball well if they block well,

1037
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: and I know Marcus Mariotta is an average to above

1038
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: average quarterback and passer. They don't do that consistently enough

1039
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: for me to be a believer. But they won today,

1040
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: so good for them. I'm not even sure if they

1041
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: can consistently run the ball even if they block well,

1042
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 1: because they start the wrong guy ye first of all, yea,

1043
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: and they don't do it consistently. Yeah. Their wins are

1044
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: against the Cults, that the six and seven run Cults, Brown's, Ravens, Bengals,

1045
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: and again the Cults. Then they played the Steelers and

1046
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: got waxed fort seen Titan fans. Titans fans are annoyed

1047
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: with this show, I think because we continue to kind

1048
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: of pound on them no matter what they do. We're

1049
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: just asking we want to believe in them if they're real.

1050
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: Last year's Titans team had more character and intrigued than

1051
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: this year's team despite the record there and their schedule

1052
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 1: remains soft. They got at Cardinals next week, home against

1053
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: at forty Niners the week after, and then it gets rough.

1054
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: They closed verse home to the Rams, home against the Jaguars.

1055
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: So but they they seem like another team that seems

1056
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: in good position to win nine or ten games, which

1057
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: should get them into the dance. Let's move on. Robbie

1058
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: gold Hey straight on four yard field goal. They snap

1059
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: the ball, Robbie golds check is up and it is good.

1060
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: With four seconds to play in the game, the forty

1061
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: Niners have the league to fourteen. Ted Robinson k s

1062
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 1: a n with the call uh. Jimmy Garoppolo's forty niners

1063
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: debut was a success. The former's former Patriots back up

1064
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,479
Speaker 1: through for two nine three yards and this first start

1065
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: for the Niners and Robbie gold as you heard, sin

1066
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco home with a fifteen fourteen win over the

1067
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: Bears mark the forty Niners mark by the way Marcus

1068
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: marking the funky bud. Oh. Yeah, when you can lock

1069
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: up a one win team that gets its second win

1070
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: with the locke you just snailed, you go with it,

1071
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: kind of like how they say the clock is right

1072
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: two times a day. Like if you do enough of

1073
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: these like wild locks, you're gonna get one eventually. I

1074
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: tied Gregg in the standings after well it's after his

1075
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 1: hideous Redskins attempt. So which squad is rebuilding? Which squads

1076
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: are building between you and Gregg? Yeah? Greg's throughout this

1077
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: we're tanking business. Uh in games of you know, I

1078
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: don't know what to call it wagering. Greg does never

1079
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: tried to tank. Greg always must treat compulsively, must win

1080
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: or else. By the way, Lenz, if we're bringing up locks,

1081
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: another one for you, Yeah, I did up. Oh that

1082
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: would say it's earlier before our Sky Sports hit sounds

1083
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: from roundly nine four. I'm cruising towards that division title. Yeah,

1084
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: and before our our Sky Sports Sports hit. In the UK,

1085
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 1: Dan floated this idea that we should have a trophy

1086
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: for the winner of the law contest, but it should

1087
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: start this year. Wait, wait, we got Dan in a

1088
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: major league here, yeah, of course, So let's start rolling

1089
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 1: out the trophy. I say, so, it's trophy next year.

1090
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: That's a fine thing to start next year. What is

1091
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: this trophy in the shape of is it going to

1092
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: be like in your likeness? Should be a master lock? No,

1093
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: it would be a lock. It should be something lock

1094
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: and then maybe nameplates for each winner, and whoever wins

1095
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: the trophy gets to have it on their desk for

1096
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,240
Speaker 1: the season. Sure, starting next And and your theory, mark

1097
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: Um is really mean spirited and it hurts my feelings

1098
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: not you would want to start next year when I

1099
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: win next year's lock competition. I think that, like it's

1100
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: a great idea, and like we don't you know, we're

1101
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: not gonna grandfather it into this season. We'll start fresh

1102
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,720
Speaker 1: with it as a concept for next season. The lindsay,

1103
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: let's huddle privately. No, this is what we do behind

1104
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: the scenes makes things happen for the show, for or

1105
00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: for himself. Um, the a if I win, I deserve

1106
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: the trophy. Why are you trying to take that from it?

1107
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: I win next year and we can talk anyways. Correct anyway,

1108
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: let's move on. Yeah, I can't wait for that trophy.

1109
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 1: It's coming this year, Mark Um the Forts hope Jimmy

1110
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 1: G's their long term answer to QB today. Wow, let

1111
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: me tell you something. You're a two intend team and

1112
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: your fan base should be feeling like they are on

1113
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: fire right now. You have, somehow in the middle of

1114
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: this season, found your franchise quarterback, assuming that there's no

1115
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: issues locking him up with a long term contract, even

1116
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 1: whatever he wants, and you make it happen. I don't

1117
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: know what you want to point to in this game?

1118
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: Is it from the very beginning, the pristine passes, the

1119
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: aggressive throws a Niner's offense completely lost at Sea had

1120
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: something like thirteen or fourteen plays of ten plus yards,

1121
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: most all of them through the air. He opens up

1122
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 1: the ground game, he sees the entire field. Maybe it's

1123
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: the end of the game when he authors a fourteen

1124
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: play eighties six yard drive that takes five plus minutes

1125
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: off the clock and completely takes the Bears chances of

1126
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: a any sort of coming back off of that to

1127
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: zero because they click the clock right down to nothing

1128
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: and kicked the game winning field goal. Jimmy G has

1129
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 1: not been on this team for long. This is a

1130
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: tough offense to master, and he came in today and

1131
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: it made one of the most impressive debuts you could imagine.

1132
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: It is an incredibly uplifting scenario for Niners fans, who, yeah,

1133
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: I get it, they've had a lot of success, but

1134
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: the past couple of years post Jim Harbaugh, where the

1135
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: down they really wondered what would come around. This is

1136
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that could It can completely change

1137
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan his career. There John Lynch's GM, because if

1138
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: they struck out on some draft eligible quarterback and went

1139
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: two more seasons in the ABYSS, all of that is

1140
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: washed away. You have found someone, barring a total disaster,

1141
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: and when they're three and thirteen or four and twelve,

1142
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: whatever they finished this year, they can use that that trip,

1143
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 1: that chip to maybe trade down and human draft picks

1144
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: and start building that roster because you've solved most likely

1145
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: the most important position on the field to I didn't

1146
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: see this game, but two things that really impressed me.

1147
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: Mark He's good. When after the game said just look

1148
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: at him. He's got it all together. He's got it

1149
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,919
Speaker 1: all together. He came in short time, helped us flip

1150
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: this thing around. Some people are just winners, and he's

1151
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: a winner. That's a telling statement from a wide receiver.

1152
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: And then to hear that the Patriots locker room was

1153
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: celebrating Jimmy V's victory and his performance shows you how

1154
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: well liked he was in New England and what a

1155
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: bright future he is. Like I said, Jimmy V, like

1156
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: jim Valvano. Let's watch that Villanova game again. I love

1157
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy UM. Before we move on, three con had a

1158
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: incredible punt return for a touchdown. Somebody on Twitter said, hey,

1159
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: cut that the Bears call of that. So let's let's

1160
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: listen in on Cohen's touchdown, which was quite a thing

1161
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: to behold. Catches cleanly. Now is gonna want to run?

1162
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: Why to give up ten fifteen yards? He's circling back

1163
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: up the scene left and there he goes is done baby,

1164
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: ten touchdown Bears. He finally got one, all right. He

1165
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: really salvaged that cold because it started out a little long.

1166
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Johnny act what they called w B B m

1167
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: uh tree cone is the new Darren Sprawls. Let's move

1168
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: on at the first and ten handoff bounces off the first,

1169
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: it swerves here left fifty time, five hops into the

1170
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: touchdown and the Packers taking twenty six to twenty, getting

1171
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: over time over Tampa Bay. The playoff hopes alive, and

1172
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: a lambl week for Aaron Jones. Wayne Larvey w TMG

1173
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: with the call. Yes, Aaron Jones had a twenty yard

1174
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: touchdown run in overtime. It was his only carry the game,

1175
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: and the Packers escaped with a twenty win over the

1176
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: mistake prone Buccaneers. Uh. It does keep Green Bay slim

1177
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: playoff hopes alive with Aaron Rodgers return potentially two weeks away.

1178
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: So a little bit of intrigue here in the NFC

1179
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: with the idea that Rogers could be around. They just

1180
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: they gotta keep winning though, to stay in the mix.

1181
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: I believe, what are they six and six? Now there

1182
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: are six and six? They had the Browns next week

1183
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: that lost last week to the Steelers looms as a

1184
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: crushing defeat. Yeah, they have to win out uh and

1185
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: then maybe get help. But with Aaron Rodgers, if they

1186
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: can even get to eight and six with Aaron Rodgers,

1187
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: let's let's have some fun. That sounds exciting and you

1188
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: just you just hope Rodgers is healthy enough um to

1189
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: make it through whatever games he plays. Anyway, the player

1190
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: that Rodgers will eventually mercifully replace. Uh. Of course is

1191
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: Brett Hunley who he threw for eighty four yards today.

1192
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: How many quarterbacks essentially quarters as so, say, how many

1193
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the history of the NFL would you say

1194
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: have gone deep into an overtime game or into an

1195
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 1: overtime affair with eighty four yards passing? That's gotta be

1196
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: and it was. It wasn't like nineteen seven football either.

1197
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: They were throwing the ball. He had twenty two attempts.

1198
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: It just it just doesn't have the accuracy and and

1199
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: it just wasn't happening. It's their fewest passing yards in

1200
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: a win since Week Night of nineteen four when Farve

1201
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: dropped the six of fifteen for eighty two yards in

1202
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: a And this is weird, thirty three to six win.

1203
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: That's that's very strange. UM one. One more point about

1204
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: this game, because we gotta keep moving. Uh. Jamis Winston

1205
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: is not having a good year and he is up

1206
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: to um fifty career turnovers and forty one games. And

1207
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: we saw it again today. He made some plays, kept

1208
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: him in the game, showed the flash why he uh

1209
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: should be considered still in only twenty three years old,

1210
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: the future kind of franchise presence. But Eddie Haskell also struggled.

1211
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: He he keeps on he this has been a thing

1212
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: that if you're a Bucks fan, you know this well,

1213
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: that when he's being wrapped up and he's being pulled

1214
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: to the ground or it looks like a play is

1215
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: dead and he's going down, he'll just fling the ball

1216
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: or try to like, you know, he'll try to salvage

1217
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: the play that's already dead and it leads to a

1218
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: killer turn over. That happened again and often, and he

1219
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: had he had some issues with the center um quarterback

1220
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: exchange with a inexperienced player snapping him the ball. So

1221
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Winston another up and down game. It's been a very

1222
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: frustrating season for him. And I think the Bucks, who

1223
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: were in last place in the NFC South, cannot get

1224
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: to January one quick enough. This was the most important

1225
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: result of the day to me, anything that increases the

1226
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: chances of seeing Aaron Rodgers and making the Packers the

1227
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: most interesting team to watch instead of one of the

1228
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: worst teams to watch and uh West, good point, but wrong,

1229
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: not the most important thing because we haven't talked about

1230
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: the Broncos and Dolphins. Yet first and ten, Trevor Simeon

1231
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: out of the shotgun back to throw all fire or

1232
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: something out what was the pick BULLI alright, alright, that

1233
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: guy at the end. Good for him. They still got

1234
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the joy. Jimmy Cephalo w q A M. What the call?

1235
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard's thirty yard pick six um was the really

1236
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: uh exclamation point on a really nice defensive effort by

1237
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They snap a five game losing streak by

1238
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: beating up on the horrendous Denver Broncos a thirty five

1239
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,439
Speaker 1: to nine final. The Broncos, who once upon a time

1240
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing as an a f C favorite, have lost

1241
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: eight in a row and uh shook the season as

1242
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: officially who already was. But this is a dumpster fire

1243
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: for Denver, and much of that goes back to the

1244
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Trevor Simeon no help today. They have completely

1245
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: fallen off a cliff and we've we've gone through all

1246
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in this team already, and then we got

1247
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: back to Trevor Simeon and everyone was like, well, now

1248
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Denver is gonna actually play their their best quarterback, which

1249
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: I agreed with to a point, and then he goes

1250
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: and puts out today I don't I don't know, wasn't

1251
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: anybody specific the general fan uh. And then today he

1252
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: goes out and does a nineteen of forty one for

1253
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: two yard performance with three interceptions. He also dropped a

1254
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,439
Speaker 1: snap on his in the shadow of his own goal post,

1255
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: which he then had to push out of the back

1256
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: of the end. Should not do that, hold on too.

1257
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: That was there two safeties, and there was two signs.

1258
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: There was a safety early and there was a safety

1259
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: late when Isaiah McKenzie tried to return a punt and

1260
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: ran back toward his own end zone and fumble the

1261
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: ball on the goal line. This is the Broncos are

1262
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: a disaster in every phase of the game, which is

1263
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: it's really just it's it's disappointing because they do still

1264
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: have some talent defensively. Justin Simmons had a nice interception interception.

1265
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: Chris Harris had a nice one too. There are signs.

1266
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: You obviously have guys like von Miller on that team,

1267
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: and they have the personnel, but they're just a bad

1268
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: football team. Those things get lost in a season like

1269
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: this and they're three and nine and they could very

1270
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: easily wind up with three wins on the year, and

1271
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: you have to wonder, I know, you just spent a

1272
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 1: first round pick on Paxton Lynch, who you traded up for,

1273
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: but you if you're John Elway, that you cannot go

1274
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: into next season with this kind of situation. I wonder

1275
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: if they sit out there, there's a couple quarterbacks in

1276
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: this draft coming up that they might have to say,

1277
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: Mia Culpa and Packison Lynch, we're gonna have to start.

1278
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: What about who would be coaching that would be quarterback?

1279
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Because his vance Joseph in trouble because this season the

1280
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: Broncos don't have these seasons, and and I think that

1281
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: if they do end up going three and thirteen, four

1282
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: and twelve, I wonder if Joseph is one and done.

1283
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: I wonder if he is a one and done candidate.

1284
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: From everything I've been told, he's in some pretty hot

1285
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: water and and there's a there's an obvious so Elway

1286
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: would fire him with no acknowledgement that there are issues

1287
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: that are related to Elway with this. And that's my

1288
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: problem with it. Is this talent on this team. Yeah,

1289
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: they've they've got some at some positions, but I think

1290
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: elways player evaluation should be questioned. This one's not on, John,

1291
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: says John. I see no, every time we've seen Paxton

1292
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: Lynch play, he doesn't look like he has a future.

1293
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: And I guess you're telling me this is the game

1294
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: I went down with the ship on forever, Simeon. It's

1295
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: not salvageable. But who made that pick at Paxton Lynch?

1296
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: John Elway? And he's going to continue to skate, And

1297
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: I think it's about time that we turn a little

1298
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: bit of the pressure toward him too. Let's see how

1299
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: he does in this draft. All right, I'll give him that,

1300
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: but it's starting to look bad. Top five back off.

1301
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: If you know what's good for you, are this one's

1302
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: for you? And he's holding up a knuckle sandwich? What

1303
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: about lay seven? John Elway seventeen Nick shook bare knuckle

1304
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: obviously shirtless street fight in Oh wait wait? Can this

1305
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: take place on the field at Cleveland Municipal Stadium like this,

1306
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: Let's go back one more year. Let's go into the

1307
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 1: end zone where he ended the drive. Yeah, to just

1308
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: ramp it up. I'll come flying out of the stands

1309
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: and and deck him right before he completes that touchdown pass. Well, well, no, no,

1310
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: we're not time traveling in that sense. One of the

1311
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: greatest athletes in history. At his peaky Shook probably has

1312
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: him by thirty or forty pounds lay. It was pretty speedy. Yeah,

1313
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous Is it a race or is it

1314
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: just an out and out brawl? I said, it's a shirtless,

1315
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: bare knuckle brawl. Well, you know what zone of Cleveland

1316
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Municipal Stadium in Well, you know what stands there now

1317
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: is First Energy Stadium, So we could just do that there. Okay,

1318
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: we're getting hung up on the semantics, Yes we are.

1319
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: I want to I want to say, all right, we'll

1320
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: just go to the kissing cousins on this. Who wins

1321
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: the fight? I'm not I'm I recused myself. I'm unclear

1322
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: because you said it's not a time traveling snarrow, but

1323
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: it's happening in Cleveland Stadium. Shook, I appreciate you on

1324
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: many levels, but I'm gonna go with the Hall of

1325
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback on this one. I would say Shook definitely

1326
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 1: has a size advantage, muscle advantage, but pro athletes are

1327
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: a different phenomenon. I don't know if Shook is angry enough.

1328
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: You'd have to be. I need to see a little more,

1329
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, throw got too much heart. Well, you know,

1330
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: like in the Christmas Story when Ralphie like snaps on

1331
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: the bully and it all like builds up and then

1332
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: he explodes with rage. Imagine all the Brown's rage that

1333
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: will be inside you when you're looking at that. All right,

1334
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna cry for me. Cry. I think l A

1335
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: would take you, but I think you get some shots.

1336
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 1: How much shook first art model that one? All right? Okay,

1337
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 1: let's move on to the little Sunday Night Football Talk

1338
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, Tessick Wine to the far side, Jimmy Graham,

1339
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: Wine to the near side. Russell empty backfield, The Eagles

1340
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: look like they want to rush for the Russell. Take

1341
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: your time, look gravering the cop. He's got a Advogier touchdown.

1342
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: Seahawks Radio Network with the call. Russell Wilson throw three

1343
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:57,440
Speaker 1: touchdown passes without an interception. Another brilliant performance by Seattle's

1344
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: field General Sunday and the Seattle Seahawks uh a twenty

1345
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: four to ten win over the Philadelphia Eagles. My goodness,

1346
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 1: who lose for just the second time all season? A

1347
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: truly epic win here for Seattle. Epic you know in

1348
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: the regular season is a little strong, but mark such

1349
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: a big win, uh for the Seahawks and moved to

1350
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 1: eight and for solidify their their place in the playoff race,

1351
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: just when a lot of people have ruled him out

1352
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. What a big win. Yeah,

1353
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean it would have been easy to make a

1354
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: case I believe I did incorrectly on Thursday, our last show,

1355
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: that this would be the game where Philadelphia continues to

1356
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 1: do what it's done all season, which is who cares

1357
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: where the game is occurring. Go in, run rough shot,

1358
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: use your run game, use your defense, get everything you

1359
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: need from Carson Wentz mall Is Seahawks, and separate entirely

1360
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: from the rest of this NFC. Now, the NFC is

1361
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: more muddled than ever, and I think it's a fantastic

1362
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: effort by Seattle, the best game of the year for them,

1363
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: muddled in a great way. This is gonna be really

1364
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: fun how this shakes out now. Because the Eagles still

1365
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: the number one seed, tendant to the Vikings, also tennant

1366
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:13,560
Speaker 1: to the Saints, now just one game back of the

1367
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: number one seed, they are nine in three, the Seahawks,

1368
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: who everyone wrote off, like I said, after Richard Sherman

1369
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: and Camp Chancellor disappeared, now eight and four. You don't

1370
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: forget about the Rams at nine and three, and the

1371
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Panthers hanging around at eight and four, and the Falcons

1372
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: the defending conference champions now suddenly after everyone and finally

1373
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: was like, all right, the Falcons are okay on the

1374
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: outside looking in, and it might get might be hard shook,

1375
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: and West had to leave us today, so it's just

1376
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: the three of us now shook. It might be hard

1377
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: for the Falcons to work their way back into this

1378
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: because there's just so much meat up top. Yeah, you know,

1379
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: for as big of a game as I thought this

1380
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: would be in terms of a test for the Eagles,

1381
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: because you know, I've been a big believer them for

1382
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: a good majority of the season. You know, they they

1383
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: haven't give me a reason not to um and until tonight.

1384
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: You know, for as big of a test as it

1385
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: was for them, it was also a monument whole game

1386
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks because this is gonna throw them right

1387
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: back into the pack. Just like you said. You know,

1388
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna be sitting right there, you know, with the

1389
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: fifth seed in the wild card and eight and four.

1390
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: They have a game lead over the Falcons, who have

1391
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: been you know, coming up as of late except for

1392
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: today and their loss. And we only have four games left,

1393
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: so you're right, this could the Falcons and they have

1394
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 1: a tough stretch. It's could be ten and six and

1395
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs. That's what's happening in the NFC and

1396
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: this game. Wilson and we we've talked about um. I

1397
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: had a disagreement with Greg on this podcast couple weeks

1398
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: ago because he said that Russell Wilson, there's no way

1399
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: he should be in the m VP conversation. Watch this

1400
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: game in primetime against the best team in the league

1401
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: and tell me Russell Wilson should not be in that

1402
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: conversation because he is this offense and now he's leading

1403
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 1: a Seattle team that is truly dangerous if they can

1404
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, which right now they're on our track.

1405
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: And a big play in this game, Mark and you

1406
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: said it when we're watching that lateral that Wilson through,

1407
01:11:58,120 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: I think it was at that point of seven point

1408
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: aim in the fourth quarter. Uh, it looked like it

1409
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,280
Speaker 1: went forward. But the challenge flag did not come out,

1410
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson is going to regret that tonight. Yeah,

1411
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: I'll be asked about that because you know, and it's

1412
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: tough these days two in theory when that happens in

1413
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,879
Speaker 1: your Seattle and the call is out there, it's suspect,

1414
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: but you can get the snap off quick. A lot

1415
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: of times there's there the opposition finds ways to quickly analyze,

1416
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: stop the game, time out, whether it's the refs upstairs, whatever,

1417
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,600
Speaker 1: to get that thing corrected. And this is one of

1418
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: those cases where where Seattle got back on the field,

1419
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 1: snapped the ball quickly and that play. I don't know

1420
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 1: if we had this result if that play doesn't go

1421
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: the way it did because Carson wentz and the drive

1422
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: before you know you talk about m VP. He made

1423
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 1: the throw one of the throws we've seen all season

1424
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 1: where you know he's getting dragged to the ground, whips

1425
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 1: it down field. You think it's just gonna go to No.

1426
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: One bang huge complace and Nelson ag another beautiful tear drop.

1427
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: Don't uh. This is such a fun game because you

1428
01:12:55,600 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 1: have to athletic, imaginative quarterback us at the top of

1429
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 1: their game and it just goes to show the NFL

1430
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: could use a few more of these guys, because some

1431
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: of these games that have not been so great to

1432
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 1: watch in prime time usually a problem is that we

1433
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,600
Speaker 1: don't have two good quarterbacks involved. In this case, we

1434
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: have two quarterbacks that really are fun, exciting players. And

1435
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 1: even if the game wasn't as close as maybe you

1436
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: thought it would be, Seattle took care of business here. Ultimately, Uh,

1437
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: this was a fun game throughout each quarter. And with

1438
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: that playing question, you know, it's kind of a hard

1439
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: decision to make on the fly. You talk about how

1440
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: they usually find a way to stop it. You know,

1441
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 1: they throw the challenge flag or a coach is gonna

1442
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: call it time out, and then think about challenging it,

1443
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: which is always fullish, but whatever, you if you need

1444
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 1: to buy some more time, or you get the bus

1445
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,560
Speaker 1: from upstairs. And they didn't get that there. But it

1446
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: was kind of a miurage, you know, because you have

1447
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 1: these players moving forward, and Wilson was ahead of the

1448
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 1: guy he pitched it too. But you know, even we

1449
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: us sitting here when they couldn't, we couldn't tell right

1450
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: away that it was on the broadcast. You know, Chris

1451
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: Collinsworth is saying all that's definitely forward, and we're saying,

1452
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, what are you what are you talking about?

1453
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: And then after they slow it down and they put

1454
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 1: a line on the field, they do all the other

1455
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: different things and you're like, oh, that was Ford. That's

1456
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: a hard call to make one situation, one final point

1457
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: before we, uh we get out of here. I I

1458
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys disagree, I'm not. I don't

1459
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: see this loss is something now I'm worried about a

1460
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: little bit about the Eagles, Like Zach Ertz went out

1461
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,719
Speaker 1: of this game with a head injury. Uh, and hopefully

1462
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: that's not a long storm may shue. But that's a

1463
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: major loss for the Eagles and for Carson Wentz. It's

1464
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: his trusted security blanket and a number one playmaker this year.

1465
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: So take him out of the mix of this game

1466
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 1: and that's a major thing that you can't overlook. And

1467
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 1: they're still in great shape to to take the one

1468
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: seat if they take care of some business. Yeah. We

1469
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 1: look at teams like the Rams, the Saints in recent weeks,

1470
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 1: they've all had to overcome a loss and come back

1471
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: the next week and get back on track. And I

1472
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: think the Eagles they go play the Rams next. That's

1473
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: a huge l in l A two games in a row.

1474
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: Then they have a third game on the road, but

1475
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: that's against the Giants, and then you close with the

1476
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Cowboys. So I think we're looking at

1477
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 1: a team it's gonna go about thirteen and three. And

1478
01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: the flip side of it, I just made the case

1479
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: for why shook, we should not if you're an Eagle,

1480
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: so and don't get too upset. Flip side as this was,

1481
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: they were just wrecking all these lesser teams for the

1482
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: past month or so and then they got punched in

1483
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: the mouth here. So next week becomes a test for

1484
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles, who were not able to play up to

1485
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: the Seahawks ability or or level on Sunday night, and

1486
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: now they get another big test against the nine and

1487
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 1: three Rams team that's still in the mix for the

1488
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: number one seed itself. Look, this is a team that

1489
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: hasn't lost since September. And sometimes these losses at this

1490
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 1: point in the season are the best thing that can

1491
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: happen to you because it brings you back to earth,

1492
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 1: makes you realize A you're not invincible. B you can

1493
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: get better, and see this season is far from over.

1494
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: And these guys are gonna bring everything that they can

1495
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna experience that the next four weeks. All right,

1496
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: So there you go. That is Sunday Night Football. That

1497
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: is week thirteen. One more game to play on Monday,

1498
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 1: Mark between the Bengals these Steelers, one team with hope

1499
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,759
Speaker 1: one fading into the distance. I don't care what anyone

1500
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: says about the Bengals. They are not a playoff team

1501
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 1: in my mind as I put my computer in my

1502
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: bag and go home to Market Park, literally packing it

1503
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 1: and doing it as we try to get out of here.

1504
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 1: All right, next time you hear from by the way, Nick,

1505
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: thanks for helping us out. Great job, Nick, thanks for

1506
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: having me on your study. And I would take Lay

1507
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 1: in a street brawl, but I think I would give

1508
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,799
Speaker 1: you a literally a puncher's chance in it. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1509
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 1: that's and and and that is not an affront to you, no, no,

1510
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,799
Speaker 1: And I understand you know what. I'll entertain the fantasy

1511
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 1: and that's cool. Um, But he's a supreme athlete. So

1512
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,520
Speaker 1: all right, so they go. We'll be back on Tuesday,

1513
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: uh with another show and Connie Fox and maybe even

1514
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 1: Chris Westling and Greg Rosemthal will be back until then.

1515
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson for m v P. Let's do this. It's

1516
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,240
