WEBVTT - Week 9 Matchups: Bucs get right game, Falcons continue to roll, Cousins visiting DC, and Write This Down! 0:00:04.299 --> 0:00:06.659 NFL Game Debut is a production of the NFL in 0:00:06.739 --> 0:00:09.939 partnership with I Heart Radio. It is Week nine and 0:00:09.979 --> 0:00:13.099 the trade deadline has come and gone, and to be honest, 0:00:13.139 --> 0:00:17.899 Fantasy Game Day offered Marcus Grant for Greg. Don't worry, Gregg, 0:00:17.899 --> 0:00:20.259 after seeing those push ups, You're worth at least two 0:00:20.419 --> 0:00:24.379 first rounders in my eyes. Bradley Chubb is now a 0:00:24.419 --> 0:00:27.179 dolphin and he's gonna try to get to Justin Field 0:00:27.219 --> 0:00:29.939 before he can get it to Chase Claypool, who's no 0:00:30.019 --> 0:00:33.459 longer a Steeler. Brokwan Smith isn't a bear anymore. His 0:00:33.739 --> 0:00:36.699 Ravens are taken on the Saints on Monday Night, and 0:00:36.819 --> 0:00:43.299 Aaron Rodgers has gone got the same dude, A sorry Aaron, 0:00:43.419 --> 0:00:47.219 I I don't know what. Game Debut, presented by Mercedes Benz, 0:00:47.299 --> 0:00:56.619 starts now. Hello, Hello, happy week nine people. My name 0:00:56.659 --> 0:00:58.819 is Rachel Banana. That is Greg rosen Fall. Since they 0:00:58.939 --> 0:01:01.499 Freeland and Patrick clay Bann are you happy to stay? 0:01:01.579 --> 0:01:09.619 Are happy tried to trade me this? I'm like cam 0:01:09.619 --> 0:01:11.659 Akers showing up to work this week. I'm trying to 0:01:11.699 --> 0:01:14.099 be professional and we're all like, no, we didn't. We 0:01:14.179 --> 0:01:17.259 never wanted you to leave everything's all good here. Okay, 0:01:17.299 --> 0:01:19.099 we're like halfway through the season. It pains me to 0:01:19.139 --> 0:01:20.939 say that I am sad that it is week nine. 0:01:21.099 --> 0:01:24.259 Time is moving too quickly. We're all having a great time. 0:01:24.299 --> 0:01:26.339 I don't want this to end, and I hate to 0:01:26.459 --> 0:01:28.739 bring this up. I hate to bring up the past, 0:01:28.819 --> 0:01:31.299 but we have to. Greg. You couldn't help yourself. You 0:01:31.379 --> 0:01:37.179 just couldn't. We've got the pictures. Sometimes it pays to 0:01:37.259 --> 0:01:39.059 stick with your well no, I mean, I what are 0:01:39.059 --> 0:01:43.099 you talking about. I uh, I've informally appealing this pick. 0:01:43.179 --> 0:01:45.219 I made the correct picks. Yeah, I don't know if 0:01:45.259 --> 0:01:47.579 you guys saw the game. The Panthers outgained the Falcons 0:01:47.619 --> 0:01:50.219 by about a hundred and fifty yards. They had the 0:01:50.259 --> 0:01:52.499 best play of the year with d J. Moore and 0:01:52.539 --> 0:01:55.179 p J. Walker. They set up two game winning short 0:01:55.339 --> 0:01:58.659 kicks and I'm going to take that victor. Yeah, of course. 0:01:58.659 --> 0:02:02.219 Shoes and hand grenades, Greg, I love that you. Basically 0:02:02.259 --> 0:02:05.139 every single week is just a different variation gray jacket. 0:02:05.939 --> 0:02:10.379 It's a nice okay. The last time Patrick Mahomes faced 0:02:10.419 --> 0:02:13.739 the Titans, it didn't go so hot. Three points, that's it, 0:02:14.059 --> 0:02:16.419 the fewest he has ever had as a starting quarterback, 0:02:16.579 --> 0:02:20.179 no touchdowns, throw a pick? Who is this? He's never 0:02:20.219 --> 0:02:25.419 beaten the Titans in the regular season? Greggy there and 0:02:25.459 --> 0:02:27.619 a half point favorite. And it does this change? Alright, 0:02:27.739 --> 0:02:30.659 Roquell coming at me strong early in this show, I 0:02:30.779 --> 0:02:32.299 don't think it will change. I think the Chiefs are 0:02:32.299 --> 0:02:35.899 gonna win this game by quite a bit. I believe 0:02:36.299 --> 0:02:39.259 that the past protection for the Chiefs is better than 0:02:39.299 --> 0:02:42.059 it's ever been. I look deep into Cynthia's model. She 0:02:42.139 --> 0:02:44.299 let me get in there this week, and it said 0:02:44.299 --> 0:02:49.419 that the best past protection group in the league, according 0:02:49.459 --> 0:02:52.259 to her win shares, which is amazing. And it makes 0:02:52.299 --> 0:02:54.259 sense when you watch that last game they had against 0:02:55.059 --> 0:02:59.179 Patrick Mahomes got touched three times, Like, what is more 0:02:59.259 --> 0:03:02.659 dangerous than Patrick Mahomes with all the time in the world. 0:03:02.699 --> 0:03:05.619 At one point in that game, they six touchdowns in 0:03:05.739 --> 0:03:08.979 seven possessions and on the seventh theat a touchdown overturned 0:03:08.979 --> 0:03:11.339 by penalty. It is getting outrageous. So I know the 0:03:11.379 --> 0:03:14.259 Titans are good up front, but they're gonna protect Patrick 0:03:14.259 --> 0:03:16.659 Mahomes because they do every week. I'm right in line 0:03:16.659 --> 0:03:19.099 with you. I think you have what eleven points different? 0:03:19.139 --> 0:03:21.219 I've got more than I've got thirteen points different I 0:03:21.219 --> 0:03:24.059 have thirty one to eighteen in this matchup in favor 0:03:24.099 --> 0:03:26.219 of the Kansas City Chiefs. I want to point out 0:03:26.299 --> 0:03:29.619 that the secondary for the Titans, they're allowing the highest 0:03:29.659 --> 0:03:33.699 completion percentage sixty five point to the most yards on 0:03:33.779 --> 0:03:37.979 an average basis, and a very very high passer rating 0:03:38.019 --> 0:03:41.979 on deep passes. This is not a good matchup when 0:03:41.979 --> 0:03:44.779 it comes to stopping Patrick Mahomes. So not only is 0:03:44.779 --> 0:03:47.299 the pressure not going to be super effective, but also 0:03:47.579 --> 0:03:49.859 on the back end, those deep passes have a really 0:03:49.899 --> 0:03:52.619 good chance of being complete. It's not a great way 0:03:52.659 --> 0:03:54.819 to win, especially because if the Titans were to win, 0:03:54.899 --> 0:03:57.419 they have to use ball control and Zerick Henry, but 0:03:57.459 --> 0:04:00.379 then you can score quickly, So it's it's it's advantage 0:04:00.459 --> 0:04:03.219 Chiefs for me. I hear ball control and Derrick Henry. 0:04:03.339 --> 0:04:05.659 I think the Tennessee to are fine playing that game, 0:04:05.659 --> 0:04:07.699 and I think the acquisition of Darius Tony is a 0:04:07.739 --> 0:04:10.699 little bit of an admission. Uh, the plan coming into 0:04:10.699 --> 0:04:13.539 the season wasn't exactly playing out as the Chiefs needed. 0:04:13.699 --> 0:04:16.739 Cynthia mentioned deep passing opportunity. I think Darius Tony is 0:04:16.739 --> 0:04:18.219 gonna free up some things for that but I would 0:04:18.219 --> 0:04:21.019 like to talk about Jeffrey Simmons because somebody needs to 0:04:21.059 --> 0:04:24.099 talk about Jeffrey Simmons as an interior defensive lineman. He's 0:04:24.139 --> 0:04:27.099 got five and a half sacks, contending for the league lead. 0:04:27.139 --> 0:04:30.099 He's a couple of way playing on the interior. He's 0:04:30.179 --> 0:04:33.019 just so good and that creates some problems. I see 0:04:33.459 --> 0:04:36.699 a Chiefs win, I agree, but eleven points, thirteen points, 0:04:36.699 --> 0:04:39.259 twelve and a half points too much for me. Kansas 0:04:39.299 --> 0:04:43.819 City wins seventeen and a grindout game that has thirty 0:04:43.939 --> 0:04:46.459 six Derrick Henry Carrious because what else are they gonna be? Wow? 0:04:46.659 --> 0:04:50.179 Wow wow Wow. Alright, Queen sweet Memler, first Memler of 0:04:50.219 --> 0:04:52.499 the show. I'm going Casey as well by a big 0:04:52.499 --> 0:04:54.499 win thirty to twenty. I know Halloween has passed, but 0:04:54.539 --> 0:04:57.099 I want to tell you what is terrifying. Okay, think 0:04:57.099 --> 0:04:59.619 of Andy Reid. You know he's got the smile, he's 0:04:59.659 --> 0:05:03.219 got the cute cheeks. He is absolutely lethal when he 0:05:03.259 --> 0:05:06.459 gets just a little it more time to prepare. He 0:05:06.619 --> 0:05:10.619 is twenty in three in the regular season after a 0:05:10.939 --> 0:05:15.059 by including a perfect four and oh with Mahomes as 0:05:15.179 --> 0:05:18.659 his starting QB. The Titans offenses in last place, and 0:05:18.659 --> 0:05:21.259 then you got the Chiefs off into his averaging thirty 0:05:21.339 --> 0:05:24.499 points a game that is insane. I think that they're 0:05:24.579 --> 0:05:30.459 absolutely going to outplay, outwit, out, terrify the Titans. I 0:05:30.579 --> 0:05:32.059 just like that when you think and you read, the 0:05:32.099 --> 0:05:35.499 first thing that comes to mind, cute cheeks. The world 0:05:35.659 --> 0:05:39.539 cheeks come on. He's like a cute grandpa. Let Andy Reid. Okay, 0:05:39.539 --> 0:05:41.659 the last time we saw Tom Brady go up against 0:05:41.659 --> 0:05:44.499 the Rams, we thought it was the last time we 0:05:44.539 --> 0:05:46.659 would see him on a football field. The Rams one 0:05:46.739 --> 0:05:50.219 thirty seven in the NFC Divisional round. The Bucks made 0:05:50.219 --> 0:05:54.739 a late comeback but came up short. Of course, Brady retired, 0:05:55.539 --> 0:06:02.419 then unretired. Now probably wishes he'd stayed retired. It's time 0:06:02.459 --> 0:06:05.459 for the Drive to Excellence presented by Marcedes ben Sin. 0:06:05.979 --> 0:06:08.939 Bucks are favored by three at home. Loser of this 0:06:09.019 --> 0:06:11.859 game is in a very dark place. Would be like 0:06:11.899 --> 0:06:13.819 on Sunday. I think that the Bucks take this one. 0:06:13.859 --> 0:06:16.259 They avenge that loss. I have twenty four to twenty 0:06:16.379 --> 0:06:18.859 as my final score. I want to talk about just 0:06:18.899 --> 0:06:21.379 how good We talk about the Bucks defense, and there 0:06:21.379 --> 0:06:24.699 are some holes, but they're good at generating pressure. The 0:06:24.739 --> 0:06:28.659 third most and Matthew Stafford has been under tremendous pressure 0:06:28.779 --> 0:06:31.539 this season. On third one third of his dropbacks, he's 0:06:31.579 --> 0:06:34.859 been under pressure compared to just twenty two last season. 0:06:35.099 --> 0:06:37.739 That's a significant increase. And not only has it been 0:06:37.979 --> 0:06:41.139 like more pressure, but it's also been more direct pressure meeting. 0:06:41.179 --> 0:06:43.259 He's been on the ground after it. Not just you know, 0:06:43.339 --> 0:06:45.899 a guy comes comes at his face and he's not 0:06:45.979 --> 0:06:49.619 really you know, getting hit. He's taking actual body blows 0:06:49.699 --> 0:06:53.099 more often this season. I like the bucks in this 0:06:53.139 --> 0:06:57.099 game too. I have the exact same you. You know, 0:06:57.219 --> 0:07:00.659 it's gonna be right out of the computer grid. I'm 0:07:00.659 --> 0:07:04.899 stuck inside the model when you are these two teams 0:07:05.619 --> 0:07:09.059 you mentioned, Matthew Stafford, I wish and modeling these great jackets. 0:07:09.059 --> 0:07:13.899 I'm still recovering. It wasn't. It wasn't okay. You know, 0:07:13.939 --> 0:07:16.619 you you concentrate on what you know, what works for you, 0:07:16.699 --> 0:07:20.059 okay exactly, and what works for Tom Brady, by the way, 0:07:20.059 --> 0:07:23.899 this year is like throwing the ball down the field. Well, 0:07:24.419 --> 0:07:27.299 look at some of the best throws that he's made 0:07:27.339 --> 0:07:30.019 this year. The difference between these two teams is it's 0:07:30.059 --> 0:07:33.459 hard to put together a Matthew Stafford highlight reel. Tom Brady, 0:07:33.539 --> 0:07:35.659 on the other hand, has three or four throws every 0:07:35.659 --> 0:07:39.219 week that makes you think, Wow, he's still got it. 0:07:39.219 --> 0:07:41.499 It's good that he came back. He's actually second in 0:07:41.499 --> 0:07:44.379 the league. Only Josh Allen has more big time throws 0:07:44.419 --> 0:07:48.459 this season than Tom Brady, according to pf F. So, 0:07:48.499 --> 0:07:51.299 when I look at the Bucks, I see a bad team. 0:07:51.659 --> 0:07:54.579 That a good team. Rather, that's like making mistakes and 0:07:54.619 --> 0:07:56.859 playing like a bad team. Sometimes when I look at 0:07:56.899 --> 0:07:59.419 the Rams, I just see a bad team. And so 0:07:59.539 --> 0:08:05.139 I think the Bucks are gonna tell your daughter. Your daughter, 0:08:05.979 --> 0:08:08.699 she's been asking all week what I'm gonna do, and 0:08:08.739 --> 0:08:10.859 I've been telling I'm kicking against the Ram. She says, 0:08:10.899 --> 0:08:13.339 when you pick against the Rams, they always lose. And 0:08:13.379 --> 0:08:17.419 I said, well, that's their fault, not mine. Is daddy's choice. Okay, 0:08:17.739 --> 0:08:20.619 hard lessons for Elis. I agree with you, guys, uh 0:08:20.659 --> 0:08:23.379 in terms of the Buccaneers winning this game. I also 0:08:23.499 --> 0:08:26.259 agree that we have two defenses that are struggling. Cynthia 0:08:26.299 --> 0:08:28.619 mentioned the Buccaneers ability to get the quarterback on the ground. 0:08:28.659 --> 0:08:31.739 The problem is with Shaq Barrett's injuries that their ability 0:08:31.779 --> 0:08:35.499 to generate pressure severely diminished and honestly good news for 0:08:35.579 --> 0:08:38.379 both teams. Neither one of these defenses can generate pressure, 0:08:38.419 --> 0:08:41.339 so both Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady will have a 0:08:41.419 --> 0:08:43.699 chance to sit back there and pick some defenses apart. 0:08:43.939 --> 0:08:45.819 But it's just there's just been too much time. In 0:08:45.899 --> 0:08:48.499 terms of pressure percentage, both of these teams are in 0:08:48.539 --> 0:08:51.579 the bottom five of the entire NFL, and consider what 0:08:51.619 --> 0:08:55.379 they've done in recent years. What that means. Teams featuring 0:08:55.739 --> 0:08:57.379 a guy who's going to the Pro Football Hall of 0:08:57.379 --> 0:08:59.539 Fame and Aaron Donald and this Bucks team that won 0:08:59.579 --> 0:09:01.939 that Super Bowl that was so close a year ago 0:09:02.259 --> 0:09:04.939 cannot generate pressure. That leads to a lot of this 0:09:05.139 --> 0:09:09.539 just guys running down the field wide open quarterbacks being able, Like, look, 0:09:09.659 --> 0:09:11.819 Jimmy g is making plays, but what are we doing? 0:09:12.379 --> 0:09:15.499 What's going on? Jimmy slander on this more points than 0:09:15.539 --> 0:09:18.939 we expect. I am going Bucks as well. I feel 0:09:18.939 --> 0:09:21.499 like I've been back and forth on this game all 0:09:21.659 --> 0:09:24.779 week long because I just don't know who who to trust. 0:09:24.819 --> 0:09:26.259 And then it came out we were talking about this 0:09:26.299 --> 0:09:28.699 in in the pre show meeting. Sean mcveighs. Maybe some 0:09:28.739 --> 0:09:31.659 whispers of like how he wants to retire when his 0:09:31.739 --> 0:09:34.259 core guys are are going to be gone. And you 0:09:34.259 --> 0:09:37.259 know there's like a million other players on this team, 0:09:37.379 --> 0:09:40.459 Sean McVeigh that are going to be probably pretty disappointed 0:09:40.499 --> 0:09:41.779 to hear what you say. But then I look at 0:09:41.779 --> 0:09:44.539 the two quarterbacks. Okay, who can take us home in 0:09:44.539 --> 0:09:48.179 this game? Brady is about two eclipse like a hundred 0:09:48.299 --> 0:09:55.219 thousand passing yards. That's insane, right, that's the numbers for you. 0:09:55.299 --> 0:09:57.739 What are we giggling about. I'm just saying that. Still, 0:09:57.899 --> 0:10:04.019 Tom Brady him, we almost have the exactly that's making 0:10:04.019 --> 0:10:07.699 my brain. I know, I feel so bad to my family. 0:10:07.739 --> 0:10:09.339 But I think if ever we're gonna get a mime 0:10:09.379 --> 0:10:12.139 alert wrong here, it's with the exact same score. Yeah, 0:10:12.179 --> 0:10:13.899 this might be the one. Okay, let's talk for this 0:10:13.899 --> 0:10:17.819 other game. Ravens Saints spoiler alert. All of our scores 0:10:17.939 --> 0:10:21.379 are very close. Sin. Who do you like on Monday Night? Faball? 0:10:21.659 --> 0:10:24.219 I have the Ravens by two points to five to 0:10:24.339 --> 0:10:28.059 twenty three. Roquan Smith, Welcome to the Ravens. What a 0:10:28.139 --> 0:10:30.459 great edition. This off ball linebacker is going to make 0:10:30.499 --> 0:10:32.979 it very difficult for Alvin Kamara to have the kind 0:10:33.019 --> 0:10:35.379 of gains that we've seen him have and obviously it 0:10:35.499 --> 0:10:37.059 started off a little slow, but he had picked it 0:10:37.139 --> 0:10:39.299 up in recent weeks. It's gonna be much more difficult 0:10:39.539 --> 0:10:43.179 from that standpoint. Also, when I'm looking at this matchup 0:10:43.179 --> 0:10:46.219 and I'm seeing kind of what's going on on Monday, 0:10:46.939 --> 0:10:48.659 you know, no Michael Thomas means it's going to be 0:10:48.699 --> 0:10:51.019 a lot more alliance on maybe shorter passes. So I 0:10:51.059 --> 0:10:53.579 just think Rokean Smith makes a big difference. I think 0:10:53.579 --> 0:10:55.979 he does too, but I don't think it's enough. I 0:10:55.979 --> 0:10:58.739 got the Saints winning this game. It's similar score, but 0:10:58.819 --> 0:11:02.019 it's twenty five to twenty four, and I've been anxious 0:11:02.059 --> 0:11:04.579 to reveal, like whether it's actually here. But it's here, people. 0:11:04.659 --> 0:11:09.019 The Dalton aissance is here. That Dalton renaissance is happening. 0:11:09.259 --> 0:11:12.979 He's playing good football, he's making good decisions. And yes 0:11:13.019 --> 0:11:17.819 he had those pick sixes on hairs. Take care what 0:11:18.059 --> 0:11:23.499 happened and there Gino. Of course, I'm not putting Andy 0:11:23.579 --> 0:11:26.539 Dalton at that level, but he's been playing without his 0:11:26.579 --> 0:11:29.579 starting receiver's Landry and Thomas. It looks like he gets 0:11:29.699 --> 0:11:32.219 Jarvis Landry back for this game. The running game has 0:11:32.259 --> 0:11:34.499 been better. Chris O Lobby is a true Number one, 0:11:34.699 --> 0:11:36.739 he's the guy who gets the ball to Camara. A 0:11:36.739 --> 0:11:39.019 little more on that later in the show. That's what's 0:11:39.059 --> 0:11:43.019 called the tease, and I really do think he's Are 0:11:43.099 --> 0:11:47.459 you like claim and you have to if you watch 0:11:47.579 --> 0:11:49.939 him snap to snap this year, he's been good. This 0:11:49.979 --> 0:11:52.019 is this is the best version of Andy Dalton that 0:11:52.059 --> 0:11:56.259 we've ever seen. That's even better than the playoff years 0:11:56.259 --> 0:11:58.499 with the Cincinnati Bengals. And the best thing about him 0:11:58.539 --> 0:12:00.739 is he throws the ball to Alvin Camaro, which makes sense, 0:12:00.899 --> 0:12:03.539 which is why Cynthia pointed out, if you're Eric to Costa, 0:12:03.579 --> 0:12:06.219 you make some call, you go get Roquan Smith. I 0:12:06.259 --> 0:12:09.179 know people have cried off ball line. Okay, uh, if 0:12:09.339 --> 0:12:11.419 if you have a linebacker that can cover you win, 0:12:11.739 --> 0:12:13.539 you win. Look at the teams that have won Super 0:12:13.539 --> 0:12:15.939 Bowls and what they've been able to do with linebackers 0:12:15.939 --> 0:12:18.979 that can cover. Yes, it's not like, hey, Roquan, just 0:12:18.979 --> 0:12:21.579 go get Alvin. It's going to be difficult, but it's 0:12:21.579 --> 0:12:24.459 a spot that the defense needed to improve, and that's 0:12:24.459 --> 0:12:28.459 why I have the Ravens winning. Greg gets this Andy 0:12:28.539 --> 0:12:31.539 Dalton points. But the way Lamar played, especially in the 0:12:31.539 --> 0:12:34.299 second half against the Buccaneers. That version of Lamar is 0:12:34.339 --> 0:12:36.979 going to win games. It's just gonna happen. One version 0:12:36.979 --> 0:12:39.539 of Lamar. It's a toss up every single week. Who 0:12:39.539 --> 0:12:43.059 which Lamar weekending, the one that's healthy, the one even 0:12:43.299 --> 0:12:45.659 you lose Mark Andrews, you lose Rashod Bateman. It didn't 0:12:45.699 --> 0:12:48.699 matter DeMarcus Robertson as the number one ride receiver with 0:12:48.779 --> 0:12:51.099 scoring points. It just I was just informed that you've 0:12:51.099 --> 0:12:53.939 picked the Ravens every week. I have, I am et 0:12:55.579 --> 0:12:57.379 and had they not turned the ball over in the 0:12:57.419 --> 0:12:59.579 fourth quarter for three consecutive games, I would have been 0:12:59.619 --> 0:13:06.859 right off. That's all, like, this is this bananas, I'm 0:13:06.859 --> 0:13:09.899 picking a good team to win every week. I'm gonna 0:13:09.899 --> 0:13:13.139 say it's weird. Split right there in the middle, having 0:13:13.139 --> 0:13:17.299 a close wine, and I just want to echo every 0:13:17.339 --> 0:13:20.499 single thing that Greg said. That's theirs night football games. 0:13:20.899 --> 0:13:24.259 That and that Andy daughter. We're back on good terms. 0:13:24.499 --> 0:13:28.299 The antie all absolutely bawled out three d and sixty 0:13:28.299 --> 0:13:30.939 one yards four touchdowns. We're not going to talk about 0:13:30.939 --> 0:13:32.579 the picks, but you know what that Thursday in a 0:13:32.659 --> 0:13:36.459 football game is called. It's called prime time, baby, and 0:13:36.499 --> 0:13:39.179 they're playing in another prime time game on Monday, and 0:13:39.299 --> 0:13:41.299 he shows up for those, and so do the Saints 0:13:41.299 --> 0:13:42.859 on Monday Night football. There are six and two in 0:13:42.899 --> 0:13:47.059 primetime since let's go New Orleans. Okay, guys, less than 0:13:47.099 --> 0:13:51.699 a week away next Wednesday. Oh, this is delicious hard 0:13:51.739 --> 0:13:56.099 knocks in season with the Arizona Cardinals. For their sake 0:13:56.379 --> 0:13:58.499 and the sake of the NFL film screw that has 0:13:58.539 --> 0:14:01.179 to be around them for the rest of the season, 0:14:01.259 --> 0:14:04.899 they have got to win this game. I have not 0:14:05.099 --> 0:14:08.619 been this excited for a season of hard knocks maybe ever. 0:14:09.059 --> 0:14:12.179 This is gonna be so juicy and so good. Sin 0:14:12.299 --> 0:14:14.539 Cardinals are a one and a half point favorite, and 0:14:14.739 --> 0:14:22.939 you still haven't picked the Seas to win. Eight times 0:14:22.979 --> 0:14:25.699 you have doubted them. Will you do it again? Yeah? 0:14:25.899 --> 0:14:31.419 They got the model. Let's go Seattle's one point with convincing. 0:14:33.939 --> 0:14:36.419 I think this is an interesting one. But Ken Walker 0:14:36.699 --> 0:14:39.459 has been a huge difference maker for this team. The 0:14:39.499 --> 0:14:41.619 Michigan State products have to get up then in there 0:14:41.899 --> 0:14:46.379 contractually appligated great yards after contact, yards after the catch. 0:14:46.419 --> 0:14:48.619 I mean, I would say it's really going to be 0:14:48.659 --> 0:14:51.059 hard for anyone to top him for Offensive Rookie of 0:14:51.099 --> 0:14:53.019 the Year. So when I'm looking at this game, the 0:14:53.099 --> 0:14:56.419 control that's no situation to be able to turn the 0:14:56.419 --> 0:14:58.899 ball over right. The more you have a nice ground game, 0:14:58.939 --> 0:15:01.259 the better opportunity you have to complete those deep passes 0:15:01.419 --> 0:15:03.659 and keep Jito Smith doing what we've seen Gino Smith doing. 0:15:04.299 --> 0:15:07.259 There is a producer on the show that we really 0:15:07.259 --> 0:15:10.019 care about that wants you to know, as a Michigan grad, 0:15:10.019 --> 0:15:13.899 you don't have to Missigan every single time. Okay, okay, 0:15:13.939 --> 0:15:17.299 you know I like Michigan too. I actually like them both. 0:15:17.339 --> 0:15:19.299 I understand that doesn't make any sense to anyone, but 0:15:19.379 --> 0:15:22.579 I'm from there. So that's when you have seventeen degrees, 0:15:22.619 --> 0:15:25.019 you like a lot of college football from none of 0:15:25.019 --> 0:15:28.859 them from any schools I I do. Despite Cynthia's mathematic, 0:15:28.899 --> 0:15:32.419 medical knowledge and capability, I agree with her. I'm not 0:15:32.459 --> 0:15:35.779 inside the model. I just have looked at this Arizona 0:15:35.819 --> 0:15:38.339 Cardinals defense and I've seen what they are not good at, 0:15:38.419 --> 0:15:41.539 and that is pressuring the quarterback. Guys have a lot 0:15:41.579 --> 0:15:44.299 of time. They are twenty five in sacks, and you 0:15:44.299 --> 0:15:48.299 would think the key to stopping this Gino revolution would 0:15:48.299 --> 0:15:50.499 be getting pressure on the quarterback. But that's the problem. 0:15:50.819 --> 0:15:54.219 Gino against pressure is the one of the best quarterbacks 0:15:54.539 --> 0:15:56.339 in the league right now. He's he's so hot and 0:15:56.379 --> 0:15:59.899 as Greg Rosenthal has written for a decade plus, uh, 0:16:00.179 --> 0:16:04.459 people are sleeping on Gino. I'm a little nervous about game. 0:16:04.539 --> 0:16:07.299 I have Gino and the Seahawks winning. Of course, can 0:16:08.139 --> 0:16:10.659 if he couldn't conquer the Model like he can conquer 0:16:10.699 --> 0:16:14.019 the Arizona Cardinals. Please, it's twenty four to twenty. And 0:16:14.059 --> 0:16:15.699 one of the reasons he's been so good you mentioned 0:16:15.699 --> 0:16:19.939 against pressure, Patrick, is that he just stands in the 0:16:20.019 --> 0:16:23.339 pocket and he's not worried when the pressure is in 0:16:23.379 --> 0:16:25.539 his face. And oh, by the way, he can scramble 0:16:25.579 --> 0:16:28.219 out of pressure. I didn't really understand that Gino Smith 0:16:28.659 --> 0:16:31.019 had the movement skills that he did. It's one way 0:16:31.099 --> 0:16:34.619 I underestimated him. And the Cardinals are a particularly bad 0:16:34.699 --> 0:16:37.619 team in the secondary. Even when they do get pressure. 0:16:37.779 --> 0:16:40.379 They're among the league's worst in terms of giving up 0:16:40.659 --> 0:16:43.779 quarterback rating as a defense when they're giving it. What 0:16:43.819 --> 0:16:47.179 are you laughing at you? Well, it's just like a 0:16:47.299 --> 0:16:50.179 very common score. I guess I gotta get more creative. 0:16:54.379 --> 0:16:57.579 We'll look into its like better under pressure though, you 0:16:57.579 --> 0:17:02.299 know that, m guys, the Seahawks are very fun. They 0:17:02.299 --> 0:17:05.659 are very good right now to Reak Wolen, defensive Rookie 0:17:05.659 --> 0:17:09.499 of the month, Kenny Walker, the third offensive rookie of 0:17:09.499 --> 0:17:12.899 the month, NFC Offensive Player of the Month gives me 0:17:14.019 --> 0:17:17.419 it is Geno Smith. Okay, these guys are super fun. 0:17:17.499 --> 0:17:20.259 I watched that Giants game, every minute of it. It 0:17:20.379 --> 0:17:23.659 was a the last not to mention. This defense, which 0:17:23.659 --> 0:17:27.539 all of us just attacked all season long, has improved. 0:17:27.899 --> 0:17:30.539 Allowed a hundred and six point five passer rating on 0:17:30.579 --> 0:17:32.779 passes of ten plus are yards in week one to five, 0:17:32.939 --> 0:17:36.539 allowed a seventy six passer rating on such passes the 0:17:36.659 --> 0:17:38.939 last few weeks. They are getting better. There's nothing to 0:17:38.979 --> 0:17:41.139 make fun of here, okay. And I'm talking to myself 0:17:41.139 --> 0:17:45.379 because I did times this week nine times. That's not 0:17:45.539 --> 0:17:49.379 true this season. Okay. Coming up around the break, we 0:17:49.459 --> 0:17:54.779 are talking Porpoises versus the Bears. This is gonna be 0:17:54.819 --> 0:17:56.459 a good one. I cannot wait to see two a 0:17:56.659 --> 0:18:10.259 fall out. Don't go anywhere, okay, Greg Justin Fields has 0:18:10.299 --> 0:18:13.779 been better. The Bears run game has come a live. 0:18:13.979 --> 0:18:16.699 They are home underdogs this week against Miami. Who do 0:18:16.739 --> 0:18:18.659 you like? I like the Dolphins to win. I think 0:18:18.659 --> 0:18:20.699 the Dolphins are getting better every week. I have them winning, 0:18:21.619 --> 0:18:23.939 but I don't care because I'm excited to watch Justin 0:18:24.019 --> 0:18:26.499 Fields play football. And I feel like we don't talk 0:18:26.499 --> 0:18:28.459 about the Bears enough on this show. And let's just 0:18:28.499 --> 0:18:31.059 give the man some flowers because I've been waiting six years, 0:18:31.299 --> 0:18:33.899 ever since my guy Jay Cutler left the Bears for 0:18:33.939 --> 0:18:38.499 an entertaining viewing experience watching Chicago each week, and it's 0:18:38.539 --> 0:18:40.739 taken six years to get here. But we're here two 0:18:40.819 --> 0:18:43.619 hundred plus yards uh in terms of their rushing attack 0:18:43.699 --> 0:18:46.779 four times this year, and Justin Fields is making great decisions. 0:18:46.939 --> 0:18:49.419 We asked for design runs, they gave us design runs, 0:18:49.459 --> 0:18:51.379 Like we asked them to throw the ball deep more 0:18:51.459 --> 0:18:53.139 he's doing it. And oh, by the way, they got 0:18:53.219 --> 0:18:55.419 Chase Claypool. I know I picked Miami. I think the 0:18:55.459 --> 0:19:01.339 Miami's really changed, but I saw backy boys defense. Maybe 0:19:01.339 --> 0:19:04.459 I should make it closer, but that's little splinters gonna go. 0:19:05.539 --> 0:19:07.499 You should. Maybe we've asked for all these other things 0:19:07.579 --> 0:19:09.059 we've gotten, and maybe if you ask for a win, 0:19:09.059 --> 0:19:11.579 you'll all think that we don't know what's going to happen, 0:19:11.619 --> 0:19:13.459 but we do know, like what's gonna make us happy 0:19:13.499 --> 0:19:16.259 watching Justin Fields makes me I have a close one. 0:19:16.739 --> 0:19:19.619 I have twenty one in this matchup. I do still 0:19:19.739 --> 0:19:23.259 have the Miami Dolphins winning the game. Two things. Number One, 0:19:23.619 --> 0:19:25.939 you talked about ro Kuan Smith being a raven, Well, 0:19:25.979 --> 0:19:28.059 it means he's not a bear anymore, which means the 0:19:28.059 --> 0:19:31.139 opportunity for Rheem Moster in this matchup to be a 0:19:31.179 --> 0:19:35.259 big factor gets even better. So I think that's very interesting. 0:19:35.379 --> 0:19:39.019 Also when you're looking at the maybe potential game script. Yeah, 0:19:39.059 --> 0:19:41.699 I do like some Justin Fields, but I do think 0:19:41.739 --> 0:19:44.059 that the Dolphins come out first. They've increased their pass 0:19:44.139 --> 0:19:47.739 rush capability. Justin Fields might be running for his life. 0:19:47.739 --> 0:19:50.099 That's a that's a tease right there. But I still 0:19:50.099 --> 0:19:54.379 think it's dolphins fun to watch him run, even when 0:19:54.659 --> 0:19:57.499 it's just breaking out of pocket, even when the runs 0:19:57.499 --> 0:20:00.059 aren't designed. We like seeing Justin Fields run. I have 0:20:00.099 --> 0:20:02.059 a close game. It's not as close as Cynthia as 0:20:02.099 --> 0:20:06.419 it's one point off anyone Dolphins, and it's a lot 0:20:06.419 --> 0:20:08.619 of the similar reasons that Cynthia mentioned about the departure 0:20:08.619 --> 0:20:10.739 of roe Kwan Smith, But I'll take another part of 0:20:10.819 --> 0:20:13.219 this offense. As much as we saw Tony Pollard running 0:20:13.219 --> 0:20:16.659 down on those outside runs. Just torching this Bears defense. 0:20:16.779 --> 0:20:20.619 Jalen Waddles leading the NFL in yards per catch this year. 0:20:20.899 --> 0:20:22.979 I know a lot of people last year like he 0:20:23.059 --> 0:20:26.939 had thirteen catches for like eighty yards. Like okay, so 0:20:26.979 --> 0:20:30.539 now we're two years back because they're annoying. Because I 0:20:30.539 --> 0:20:32.539 say annoying things. The guy was coming off a broken 0:20:32.619 --> 0:20:34.579 leg and he didn't have he wasn't didn't have that 0:20:34.579 --> 0:20:36.459 many explosive players. Well, how do you like him? Now 0:20:36.899 --> 0:20:38.859 he's getting deep shots. It's gonna be tough. They have 0:20:38.899 --> 0:20:41.059 to contend with the r p o s, the crossers 0:20:41.059 --> 0:20:42.779 in the middle, and he does stuff like that. He 0:20:42.859 --> 0:20:45.219 just catches one in houses because he's fast and good. 0:20:45.459 --> 0:20:48.139 You know, we're just making poking fun at Kurt Warner 0:20:48.219 --> 0:20:52.019 for wearing the Dolphins costume. You you literally literally waddled 0:20:52.059 --> 0:20:54.259 on this show. There was once upon a time where 0:20:54.299 --> 0:20:56.099 you got up. Yeah it was like six weeks ago 0:20:56.179 --> 0:20:58.259 and you made me do and I don't regret it 0:20:58.259 --> 0:21:02.819 at all. Going Dolphins as well. Dolphins seventeen. I'm actually 0:21:02.939 --> 0:21:05.579 very excited for this game. You've got the Bears top 0:21:05.619 --> 0:21:10.299 bypassing defense versus Dolphins third best passing offense. And I 0:21:10.299 --> 0:21:12.539
