I 6 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: was talking with you in the news Zoom Jordan, maybe 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: the worst slate that we've seen in terms of excitement, 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: in terms of intrigue. 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: And then the late. 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: Games arrived and they're so good that not only Patrick 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: Claibahn and Jordan rodrieg are joining me in the studio, 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: but Nick Shook is with us in Cleveland because you 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: had the luck to get Denver and New York. Nick, 14 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: good job by you. 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, through about two and a half to 16 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 3: three quarters of this game, I thought, well, it looks 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 3: like I'm just gonna get three lopsided results this day, 18 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: which is fine, makes riting a little bit easier. But 19 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: the Broncos said, no, we are the Kings of the 20 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: fourth quarter and we're gonna make a comeback for the Ages. 21 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: So much happened in that game. In these afterdoone games, 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to wait any more time. Let's get 23 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: to it. We've got an afternoon heavy start to the show. Yes, 24 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: starting in Denver at. 25 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 4: Attempt of thirty nine yards for the win snap placement 26 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 4: kick on the way. 27 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 5: It is good. 28 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 6: Bronco players celebrating. 29 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 3: Like they just won a home playoff game, and why not? 30 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: Why not? Indeed, Dave Logan of. 31 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: KOA thirty three to thirty two in a game that 32 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: had more twists and turns in the fourth quarter than 33 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: some teams have for an entire season, the Denver Broncos 34 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: scored thirty three points in the final frame. They trailed 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: nineteen to nothing entering the fourth quarter. They scored three 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: touchdowns at one point in a three and a half 37 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: minute span, and yet they still had to drive the 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: field after giving up another touchdown Nick Shook to get 39 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: a field goal, and you know, so what, they got 40 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: that field goal and they escape with a win in 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: one of the games of the year. When was the 42 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: moment you thought that they could actually pull this thing off. 43 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: It was precisely on third down when Jackson Dart stepped 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: up in the pocket and tried to step over somebody 45 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: as he was throwing and through one of the worst 46 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: picks you're gonna see all year, and just hand delivered 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 3: it to the Broncos linebacker at that point, I thought, 48 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: oh god, they're gonna do it. In fact, no, you 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: know what, We're gonna back up middle to late third quarter. 50 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: They're driving, and I'm watching them finally find a little 51 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: bit of offensive momentum which they lacked all day, and 52 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 3: I'm thinking, oh god, they're doing this again. They're doing 53 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: what they did in Philly. They're just setting up a 54 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: twenty one point fourth quarter comeback. Except there wasn't twenty 55 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: one points. It was thirty three points. The most points 56 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: scored by a team after getting shut out in the 57 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: first three quarters in NFL history. Leave it to the 58 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: Denver Broncos. They're not even jekyling high. They're Oh god, 59 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: my alarm didn't go off. I'm three hours late for work, 60 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: but I can still get there and make something out 61 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: of the day. That's what they did. 62 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 7: Today and then got fired. No. I mean, you saw 63 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 7: Jackson Dart's face. For those watching on YouTube, for those 64 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 7: who caught the broadcast, welcome to the first day of 65 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 7: the rest of your life. As in New York, Ohnson 66 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 7: Dart just in absolute horror. 67 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 8: You felt for him. 68 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 7: I felt like the game swung in that moment with 69 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 7: the interception. I think that's when Greg stood up out 70 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 7: of his chair and then raised his desk. 71 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 8: Up as well. To finish the game. 72 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 7: It was like this, like like fog started creeping in. 73 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 8: You could just feel like this was happening. 74 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 7: And what an excruciating finish for every single one of 75 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 7: those players and the two head coaches who. 76 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 8: Were in absolute hell the entire time through the end 77 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 8: of that fourth quarter. 78 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: Right, So, to back it up, when that interception happens, 79 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: to be fair, you know it's still twenty six to sixteen. 80 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: The Giants defense doesn't have to give up an immediate touchdown, 81 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: and then the Broncos you know, defense does a great 82 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: job getting the ball back so quickly. The Giants defense 83 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have to give up a six play, fifty one 84 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: one second drive capped by a b Nicks scramble to 85 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: take the lead. But that's exactly what they did. The 86 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: part to me, that's as crazy as anything is. It 87 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: felt like the Giants had luck because they got a 88 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: deflected touchdown for forty one yards to Theo Johnson to 89 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: give them an eighteen point leine. And that happened in 90 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. 91 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was ten minutes and twenty two seconds ago. 92 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 5: In the game. 93 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 9: It was nineteen to eight, and I understand there was 94 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 9: like a sequence of fortuitous circumstances for the Denver Broncos, 95 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 9: but that pass could have easily been picked off. And 96 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 9: Theo Johnson now has four touchdown passes from Jackson Dart. 97 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 5: This one was absolutely not supposed to happen. 98 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: The location in Denver, and that play got me thinking 99 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: back to look, I know he's a lot more skilled 100 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: than Tebo, but man, Tbo, things. 101 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 2: Just happened to Jackson Dart. 102 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 9: Let's listen scattered with a back third and sheventeen and 103 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 9: it'll cut up pass caught on the look of Shay 104 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 9: Let's crap here by the galloping junckson go be. 105 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 10: Chased to the play by Bearn didn't get in. He 106 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 10: did touchdown own forty one yard ricochet touchdown reception, taking 107 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 10: it in field chunchon. 108 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 8: So nice little hooking ladder there. 109 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 9: Yeah, you can actually hear the sound of the keys 110 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 9: getting out, Like people. 111 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 5: Left the game. 112 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 9: They were filing out of the stadium at that point, 113 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 9: because like the idea that the sequence that would happen 114 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 9: after that would happened was improbable for most people, including 115 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 9: me and a lot of Broncos fans will that was 116 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 9: a very frustrating game and they decided to peace out, 117 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 9: and I understand it. 118 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: I want to go through a little more of the 119 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: end sequence with you, Shook, but more big picture, like 120 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: what were some of your takeaways from darts performance and 121 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: the Broncos defensive performance for the part of the game 122 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: that seemed reasonably normal for the first you know, fifty 123 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: three fifty four minutes of this game. 124 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 3: It's a great way to characterize it because it was 125 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: very much a normal and one sided game. The Giants 126 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: were playing excellent football on both sides. They basically had 127 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: every answer for whatever the Broncos wanted to do. Offensively, 128 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 3: Theos looked like they were sleepwalking offensively. They had one 129 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: possession that got down inside the Giants five and they stonewalled. 130 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 3: Then Dane Belton delivers one of the most crushing hits 131 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: you'll see all week to stop that on fourth down. 132 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: Just a great example of how I thought the Giants 133 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: brought the fight to the Broncos to the first three quarters. Offensively, 134 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: Darts converting you know, third down passes, They're finding ways 135 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: to keep drives going. Scatabo's scattaboy was you know, navigating traffic, 136 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: breaking tackles, getting the end zone. It looks like a 137 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: Giants win. It looks like one of those games where 138 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 3: you think, Wow, the Broncos just really came out kind 139 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: of flat and never recovered until the fourth quarter happened. 140 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 3: I thought that New York played a fantastic game overall 141 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 3: until this crazy sequence of events started. And what's wild 142 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: about that is that, you know, claymone just talked about, 143 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: Patrick just talked about where you said, you know, the 144 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: Broncos had a bit of a fortuitous you know, circumstances 145 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: go their way as well, two deflections for touchdowns in 146 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: a row and the fourth quarter. We should have known 147 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 3: that it was going to go full chaos from there, 148 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 3: but it still felt like the Giants could recover, and 149 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: they did until they didn't. 150 00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 5: Right. 151 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: That's why it's going to sting more than anything for them. 152 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: I know, part of my mind is still living in 153 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: the world where, Wow, Shane Bowen and the Bowen sons 154 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: is really happening. Like the defense got better for the 155 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Giants for most of this game, and you're on social 156 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: media and the fans are like booing the Broncos a 157 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: little bit and there's a lot of anti Sean Payton 158 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: sentiment because I think the Broncos fans are so attached 159 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: to Bo Nicks that they're getting mad about Sean Payton. 160 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: And then and then it all flips. 161 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 8: Right on its head. 162 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 7: Yes, it was crazy too, because you, like, I know, 163 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 7: we have mixed opinions on momentum across the board here, 164 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 7: but I will say you could feel like the wind 165 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 7: get knocked out repeatedly of both sidelines over back. 166 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 8: And forth, back and forth. 167 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: I think that Patrick's momentum argument would argue, Okay, if 168 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: all that momentum was happening on one side, then when 169 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: the Giants got the ball back thirty to twenty six 170 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: and they're trailing with about a minute and fifty to go, 171 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: then they wouldn't have been able to drive the length 172 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: of the field. And that's exactly what Jackson Dart did 173 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: and so that should not be forgotten. Let's actually listen 174 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: to his touchdown run, which in this game's you know fashion, 175 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: was initially called short. 176 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 5: First to goal. 177 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 10: The one forty seconds to go Giants twelve by. 178 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 6: Four scout up with the tail dock, Dart pumps his 179 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 6: right leg, takes the snap he's gonna run with it, 180 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 6: and he drives ahead. 181 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 5: He breaks the plane though short he reached out lots 182 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 5: of touchdown. No, he lunged and broke the plane. Tell you, barl, 183 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 5: I think he lunged. 184 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 11: And broke the plane before his right thigh hit. 185 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 8: Helpful to wear. 186 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: You're in the plane. 187 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 5: It is a. 188 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 9: Touchdown and probable fourth and nineteen, but you got thirty. 189 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 9: They're gonna get the ball with twenty something seconds left, Timber, 190 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 9: So they got it. 191 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 5: They gotta have some good defense. 192 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 8: That's that is exactly it. 193 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 6: Now. 194 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 8: We were talking a little bit before the show. 195 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 7: There's you know, oh, neither of these coaches called a 196 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 7: great game, in my opinion, and when things got tense. 197 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 8: Brian Dable calls that play on purpose. 198 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 7: We were talking about, oh, you know, you give them 199 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 7: too much time, and it's at altitude and a long 200 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 7: long kicks are possible there in that stadium and all 201 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 7: these things. That is a play that is intentionally designed 202 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 7: to run the quarterback up the middle and score a touchdown. 203 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 7: And even if you don't score a touchdown, then you 204 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 7: have to kill it your last time out to stop 205 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 7: the cluck. So they were going to give them time 206 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 7: back really no matter what, either as a touchdown or 207 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 7: then you have to burn your last time out. So 208 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 7: so they were going to have time the Broncos were. 209 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a good play off because I don't 210 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: think they necessarily would use the time out right away. Wait, 211 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: I think the point is to try to score a touchdown. 212 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: You can't you can't play around. You can't live in 213 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: a world, Shookie, where you're that where you're that like passive, 214 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: where you're trying not to score a touchdown. 215 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 9: Zach Allen wasn't passive on that play. He was in 216 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 9: the backfield. D does where make a move there? Yes, 217 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 9: they could lose the game on that play. It was 218 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 9: a weird play call because like in terms of like 219 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 9: the way that they blocked it up. Jackson Dark had 220 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 9: to break four tackles to get to that point, and 221 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 9: I'm like, hindsight, they get the touchdown, fine, we can 222 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 9: be results oriented there. I think it was a weird 223 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 9: call considering they probably shouldn't have been. Their penalties got 224 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 9: them there in the first place. 225 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 5: Shook. 226 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 3: It was the perfect call in a moment of chaos 227 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 3: because as they line up and then they shift everybody 228 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: out wide. I'm shouting at the screen, QB power, QB power. 229 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 3: He's running this up the middle. There is a tackle 230 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 3: split wide. They're trying to spread out the defense. Yes, 231 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: and just add to the chaos and confusion of it, 232 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: and it does work. But you're right, it is kind 233 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: of a strange play called. They're embracing the situation of 234 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 3: chaos but also the top of the screen when it 235 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: at first, he's rulled short. Brian dave All tries to 236 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: call a time out in that moment of like thirty 237 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: two seconds left. That touchdown comes with thirty seven seconds left. 238 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 3: If this game wasn't chaotic enough, there was still another 239 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: drive for the Broncos to pull off. Most games end 240 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 3: close to there, but in today's NFL, and with the 241 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: Broncos and the Giants in this game today, no, we 242 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 3: still had more excitement to come. And oh, by the way, 243 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: they only got to there. And I'm fine with the 244 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 3: call because of this, because they got a pass interfiers 245 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: call that bought them a fresh set of downs. They 246 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 3: had Sean Payton running down the sideline so upset with 247 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 3: the call that he gets it on sportsman like conduct penalty. 248 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 3: It puts them first in gold at the one like just. 249 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: Madness and I hated that play, that pedal anyway. 250 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 7: I know we were shouting about it too in the newsroom. 251 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 7: And it's interesting because so I think you could have 252 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 7: maybe called that on second down for example, Like I 253 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 7: don't mind the play call. 254 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 8: It clearly did not fool the defense at all. 255 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 7: You're supposed to sort of part the ocean, part the 256 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 7: waters there with the movement pre snap that you build 257 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 7: into that play. 258 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 8: Everybody we're all. 259 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 7: Yelling at our TVs here understanding what's about to happen next, 260 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 7: and the Broncos certainly aren't fooled. I think you can 261 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 7: run that on a second note. But that's what I'm saying. 262 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 7: It's like this game there was too much happening and 263 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 7: too much going on for anything. 264 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 8: Unweird to happen, if that makes sense. 265 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 9: Yes, it was just providing an opportunity to have because 266 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 9: you're gonna have to have the guard come back around 267 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 9: becau Zach Allen is unblocked on that play. To move 268 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 9: the guard in that situation with your rookie quarter, it 269 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 9: just seems like a weird decision. Dart, you know, made 270 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 9: it happen because earlier in the game. 271 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 8: He can't talk weird. 272 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked about. 273 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 9: A situation where you put him in a tough spot 274 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 9: and he didn't make the play. He made the play 275 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 9: that time, but oh. 276 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tricky, like dart ends up fifteen for thirty three, 277 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: but for two hundred and eighty three yards in three Touchdowes. 278 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: I know some of that was fortunate, but like under 279 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: fifty percent, they have no drop back kind of passing game. 280 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: The one thing I think that shouldn't be lost is 281 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: bo Nicks was having a nightmare game for most of it, 282 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: but he was obviously sensational in the fourth quarter, making 283 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: all the best decisions and plays when it mattered most. 284 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: And he gets the ball back needing some dimes. 285 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: First play of that drive a great throw over the 286 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: middle for twenty nine yards to Marvin Mims, Like you 287 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: can get on the Giants defense, but that's a great throw. 288 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: They get a penalty of Brian Burns not getting back 289 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: on side, and then bow Knicks with a great pass 290 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: deep down the sideline to make it a closer field 291 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: goal to Courtland Sutton. So he stepped up in the 292 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: biggest moments with some darts and man the Giant season 293 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: would have felt so different if they had a chance 294 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: next week to go sweep the Eagles and get way 295 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: back into this NFC East at NFC Wildcard Race, they 296 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: would be three and four trying to get to four 297 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: and four. Instead they're at two and five. Broncos feeling 298 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: good at five and two. I'll give you the final 299 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: word shooky on this game. Then we'll say goodbye to you, 300 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna bring it back later in the show. 301 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 3: I would wish, I would love it if the Broncos would, 302 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 3: you know, play it good football for four quarters. But 303 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: that's you know, wishful thinking for it with a lot 304 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: of football teams. And this really stings for the Giants, 305 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 3: and I hurt for you because, as Greg just said, 306 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 3: everything was trending towards you being having a ton of 307 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 3: belief and now you have to come back and answer 308 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: the same questions, including about your coach, when I really 309 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 3: don't think this is necessarily his fault. So tough one 310 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 3: for them. 311 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: I know every Giants fan I see on social media 312 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: it's like Brian Dable has to be fired now, and 313 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know that the offense the most 314 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: fireable offense that Brian Dable has done this season is 315 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: starting Russell Wilson in Week one, because every week that 316 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: this offense looks this good, it actually shows what about 317 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: process that was. Lots of bad processes around the NFL today, 318 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: but I actually don't think there were many in Arizona. 319 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: I thought this was a good, clean football team or 320 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: game played by two good teams. 321 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: Just the road team had to come out on top. 322 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: One last stop by this defensive unit. 323 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 6: We're setting the shotguns Slot to the right side, Harrison 324 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 6: to the swat right, Jones to the left, two safeties 325 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 6: high Green Bay. 326 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 5: Brissette waits for the snap, he takes it. 327 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 6: Back to throw deep drop rainbows over the middle into 328 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 6: the end zone and it. 329 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 10: Is bust it up and it is incomplete put out 330 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 10: of bounds. 331 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 6: Shones came up with a catch, but out of bounds, 332 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 6: and there is your dagger. If the Packers will a 333 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 6: skate with a twenty seven at twenty three win. 334 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: In Arizona, Wayne Larvie, he's out and tired. By the 335 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: end of this game, A lot happened, and in the 336 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: fourth quarter of this one too, the Packers survive a 337 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: game effort by the Arizona Cardinals twenty seven to twenty three. 338 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: No Hail Mary for Jacoby Brissett, who, for the second 339 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: straight week, plays very well but ultimately sees his final 340 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: pass fall incomplete and that ends in a four point deficit. 341 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: The Cardinals have not lost the game by more than 342 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: four points all season. Their scoring differential throughout the course 343 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: of the season is now negative one, and yet they 344 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: fall to two and five on a day where the 345 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: Packers had to show something a little different. So far 346 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: this season, they have led every game by at least 347 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: ten points. They haven't trailed at any point by ten 348 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: points until today. They were down thirteen to three early. 349 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: They never had a lead in this game until under 350 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: two minutes to go. And I thought the key moment 351 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: of the game was one where we, and by we 352 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean me would have been criticizing Matt Lafleur for 353 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: changing his mind to go for it on a fourth down. 354 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: I liked the call to go for it, I hated 355 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: burning his second time out with just over two and 356 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: a half minutes to do it. They had the field 357 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: goal kicker out earlier, he had kicked a sixty yarder. 358 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: They were going to kick the ball to tight and 359 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: you know what Matt Lafleur said, I'm going to trust 360 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: my best players, Jordan Love and Tucker Craft to go 361 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: make a play. 362 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: And that's what they did. Fourth and two, green Bay. 363 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: Can they get two yards to keep this thing alive? 364 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: Two point thirty two to go down three. Love looking 365 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: to throw has time loft the left side. 366 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 6: For Craft, He's got it sound fourteen yard line on 367 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 6: the far side. 368 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: They beat aagrian Jenlor Deverson first down. 369 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: Green Bay thought this was a game where the best 370 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: players on the field, this kept stepping up, and that 371 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: was a case where like, if they don't hit that play, 372 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: if Lafleur doesn't have the faith in him, they lose 373 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: that game. And if they go for a field goal, 374 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: they very well might lose that game the way their 375 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: defense was playing, and Tucker Craft and especially Jordan Left 376 00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: stepped up. 377 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. 378 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 7: And what I loved about that sequence is you could 379 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 7: almost see the like the torment of the decision going 380 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 7: back and forth in Matt laflorrete, like it flashed across 381 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 7: his face. This is a person who does not really 382 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 7: hide his emotions and has trouble hiding the things he's thinking. 383 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 8: In the course of a game action. 384 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 7: If you ever watch him as he goes out officials, 385 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 7: you will definitely notice this. This was you could tell 386 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 7: he was thinking, oh my god, did I make the 387 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 7: right decision. But if you are confident in your players. 388 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 7: And I was giving the Packers grief last week because 389 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 7: or during our preview show, because I'm like. 390 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 8: You are so good. You are such a good team. 391 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 8: You're so good in every phase. Your kicker is perfect, 392 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 8: you hit a sixty one. 393 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 7: Yard freaking field goal, which I think is a record 394 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 7: in that stadium on the road, And you are are 395 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 7: so good on offense, and you're so good on defense, 396 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 7: and you have a great coaching staff. And so just 397 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 7: go out and be loose and be free and trust 398 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 7: your play and like, unclench a little bit. And to me, 399 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 7: he almost clenched Greg, he almost clenched Patrick. He was 400 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 7: almost too tight. And then he just let go and 401 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 7: he's like, all right, Jordan Love, Tuckerkraft, go and make 402 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 7: a play. 403 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 8: And they did. 404 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: It was awesome. And Josh Jacobs finishes out that drive. 405 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: You know, he's battling through a calf injury. And look, 406 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: we'll see. If their defense is awesome on paper, it's 407 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: good on the field, they've been good. Like I would 408 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: say that's the case of their offense and their defense. 409 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: They've just been good. There have been more potential than greatness. 410 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: If Michael Parsons didn't have maybe the best game I've 411 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: seen by any defensive player all season today, they could 412 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: have given up forty in this game. But he ends 413 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: up with ten pressures three sacks. In my book, it's 414 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 1: four sacks because it was two different half sacks, and 415 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: I want to abolish the half sack. That is my 416 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: subway take. There should be no more half sacks, and 417 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: a half. 418 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 7: Sack is a half sackree, thank you so much. 419 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: So, five QB hits, a couple tackles for lost, some 420 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: good run defense plays too, and his biggest sack at 421 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: the end where he takes a playoff in the final 422 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: drive for the Cardinals, comes back on gets the sack, 423 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: and that sets up the desperation play by the Cardinals. 424 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: They needed all their best players like Craft and love 425 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: in Parsons to get out of there with the win, 426 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: because I think the Cardinals were almost playing for their season, 427 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: and they played very well. 428 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, they played the entire time. 429 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 9: Other than you know, Rashan Gary made a great play 430 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 9: that actually got the Packers a key possession on a 431 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 9: turnover where Jacoby Brissett is looking to get the balls 432 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 9: on of a night and it looked like a fumble initially, No, 433 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 9: it looked like a bad pass that was just thrown 434 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 9: backwards recovered by the Packers, but Rashaan Garrett got a hit, 435 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 9: I got the ball out and just in that play 436 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 9: where we've bemoaned, I've bemoaned in previous seasons that the 437 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 9: Packers just needed some star power and they got it 438 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 9: today because Parsons also had a sack of Jacobrey Brissette 439 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 9: that took him a very long time to get up 440 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 9: and he was kind of hopping around for a little 441 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 9: bit and I think that slowed him down. But to 442 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 9: go back to that fourth down play, like they gotta 443 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 9: have it, play the thing, looking back at the dots, 444 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 9: looking back at the all twenty two, uh Romeo Dobbs 445 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 9: got open over the middle. Josh Jacobs won on his 446 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 9: option route as well as Tucker craft with you know, 447 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 9: a Cardinals fan would say he pushed off. He did 448 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 9: push off. It was that veteran crafty puss. 449 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: I mean they would, but they almost never call that 450 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: at full speed. 451 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 9: But all three of those guys got open on that play, 452 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 9: and I think that's that like to get to that 453 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 9: point of Matt Lafleur making that gotta have it decision. 454 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 5: He not just went with a play to get to 455 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 5: get Tucker Craft open. Two other guys got open. 456 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: Trust your play calls too, because I thought he had 457 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: a great game calling the game. There were so many 458 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: plays where Jordan Love had easy buttons, especially in the 459 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: second half. First half less so, but the three points 460 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: that they got before halftime were so massive. They got 461 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: the ball back after a stirring Jacoby Brissett drive, and 462 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: we'll talk Persett in a second. It was the last 463 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: drive of the first half was stirred and they played 464 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: great to end it. And the Packers get the ball 465 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: with seven seconds left on the thirty five, and that's 466 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: where you know, I think you make a mistake in 467 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: terms of the kickoff, kicking it out of bounds and 468 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: it starts at the thirty five. They get it with 469 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: seven seconds left and Love hits Dobbs over the middle 470 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: for twenty two yards in time to take the time out, 471 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: and then that sets up that sixty one yard that 472 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: those three points were huge, but man after halftime where 473 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: they scored three touchdowns, there was a lot of Matt 474 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: Leafleur specials, just really creative stuff and getting his receivers open. 475 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: I mentioned Brissett. I think Jonathan Gannon, He's got a lot. 476 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: Of tough things. 477 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: Over the next week, they're going into their buy I 478 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: think there they just should be three and four. They 479 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: feel like a three and four team. They could even 480 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: be a four and three team the way they've played 481 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: the last couple weeks. But they're two and five and 482 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: they have to decide whether to go back to Kyler 483 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: Murray or not. Because I think the offense has just 484 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: looked more cohesive and more of what it should be 485 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: with Jacoby per Set at quarterback. And I'll say it 486 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: for you, Jordan, because you always say that it should 487 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: go through trade McBride. 488 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: Thing like you saw that today. 489 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: I think get helped that they have Elijah Higgins back 490 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: and they're two more two tight ends, and it just 491 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: looked more like what they want to do under center, 492 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: play action, all this stuff. 493 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: It's just what their coaching stuff knows. 494 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 7: It's why they brought Jacoby were set in to see 495 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 7: if this could work. Then it would really work right, 496 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 7: and who knew they did not obviously plan for an 497 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 7: injury or this type of thing. When I was at 498 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 7: camp over the summer and I was fortunate to talk 499 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 7: to Jacoby Wessett, and I encountered one of the most 500 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 7: confident individuals I met, I've met in years in terms 501 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 7: of if he was going to get a shot, he 502 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 7: was going to do he was going to absolutely make 503 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 7: the most of it, going rep for rep throughout those 504 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 7: pretty open training camp sessions where a lot of times 505 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 7: the number one and the number two are actually getting 506 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 7: a lot of the same reps with the way that 507 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 7: they run their practices. And I thought that it showed. 508 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 7: I thought it absolutely showed. You see Drew Petsing running 509 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,239 Speaker 7: the offense that he specifically wants to run through the 510 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 7: tight end, especially like you mentioned having some personnel back. 511 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 7: But then also dotting in a couple of guys here 512 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 7: and there, say Jones made a pretty crucial, crucial catch 513 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 7: Marvin Harrison two catches for fifty eight yards with a 514 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 7: thirty five yard long as well, and drew a. 515 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 2: Big pass interference on it. 516 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 7: Deep threads absolutely, so it's not like these guys were absent, 517 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 7: but this. This was Jacoby Brissett and Trey McBride's game 518 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 7: together today, and Trey McBride was really upset over a 519 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 7: mistake that he made earlier, like five minutes after the 520 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 7: play happened. 521 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 8: Was Greg and I were talking about. 522 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 7: He was like yelling at himself and hitting himself in 523 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 7: the chest on the sideline. And then he goes out 524 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 7: and he scores the two touchdowns, ten catches on thirteen 525 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 7: targets for seventy four yards, and some of them were 526 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 7: absolutely crucial, and I believe that is more touchdowns than 527 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 7: he had all last season. 528 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: Just a good, clean football game. 529 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: I really thought it looked like a playoff type of 530 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: game because I think the Cardinals were desperate feel for him. 531 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: We'll see about the Kyler decision. I just think Brissett 532 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: has been excellent in these two weeks. 533 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 5: But I mean the results are the same. It is, yes, 534 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 5: a lot of losses. 535 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 9: Now fifteen combined points in those five losses, which is bananas. 536 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: It's a it would be an organizational changing move to 537 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 1: bench Kyler right now. 538 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 2: Gannon is at a key point. I'm just I'm curious 539 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: how it goes. 540 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: And I'm glad you mentioned that play where McBride didn't 541 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: come up with a touchdown and he was Matt. I 542 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: gave a lot of credit to edgren Cooper, so to 543 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: keep the theme on this game in terms of stars 544 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: making absolutely crucial plays. That played by edgren Cooper. A 545 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: tackle on the sideline where he basically threw Michael Wilson's 546 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: face into the ground to set up a fourth down 547 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: attempt by the Cardinals where they then tried to sneak 548 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: it and edgern Cooper helped us stuff the sneak. This 549 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: is a young linebacker stepping up. Those were two game 550 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: winning plays by him. Let's go to a game where 551 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: there wasn't a ton of game winning defensive plays, but 552 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: there were a lot of great high snap for Jones. 553 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: But he pulls it down, get to the Taylor marching 554 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: to us right, he's. 555 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 10: At the fucking touchdown to try fucked again for Jonathan Taylor. 556 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 12: Three rushing touchdowns for the greatest running back going right now, 557 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 12: it's thirty. 558 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 4: Seven seventeen Colts over bolts. 559 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 5: And he's going to the house. 560 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 9: I thought we're an ingle would I thought he was 561 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 9: headed down to Huntington Beach. 562 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: The way he was winning that ball sat out to 563 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: Charles Arbuckle, making his NFL Daily debut. I'm Matt Taylor's 564 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: on the show every single week because Jonathan Taylor and 565 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: this Colts offense is getting it done every single week. 566 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: Thirty eight to twenty four against the Chargers Patrick, anytime 567 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers even got it to third or fourth down, 568 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: much less, Yeah, get a stop in this game, and 569 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: there weren't many. It it felt like a miracle. Just 570 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: an awesome offensive performance by the Colts. 571 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 5: No, it was incredible the Colts. 572 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 9: That was the third Jonathan Taylor touchdown, as they noted, 573 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 9: and actually the south end zone and so far does 574 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 9: early point towards Huntington Beach if you think about it. 575 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 8: So it was just we love geographic accuracy, we do. 576 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 5: And it's something we'd hear to on NFL Daily. 577 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 9: The Colts didn't stop scoring in a game where the 578 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 9: Colts defense needed to make plays. Certainly, they did turn 579 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 9: the Chargers over a couple of times and got a win, 580 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 9: avenging their their loss to the stadium itself. 581 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 5: They didn't beat the Rams. 582 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 2: There now on one and so far one and. 583 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 5: One in so far on the season. 584 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 9: They got Khalil Mackbeck, which helped them, and it might 585 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 9: have helped them more against the lesser team, but the 586 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 9: Colts are just so dominant. Jonathan Taylor had three touchdowns 587 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 9: ever six yards of carry. There was a Tyler Warren 588 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 9: score that made it twenty to three, and the Chargers 589 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 9: on what felt like at that point it got to 590 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 9: have it drive. They went non plays down to the 591 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 9: Colts eight and Nick Cross was covering Quinton Johnston. He 592 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 9: was blanketing him, a clean pocket for Justin Herbert and 593 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 9: he just kind of inexplicably throws it directly at Nick Cross, 594 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 9: who picks it off corrals it with one hand for 595 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 9: the turnover. He had another interception where Grover Stewart tipped 596 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 9: the pass got an interception. He's thirty one years old 597 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 9: as his first career interception. I promised fifty three Colts 598 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 9: players were on the field celebrating after he got that one, 599 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 9: and they weren't able to hold serve consistently against the 600 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 9: Colts team that had over four hundred yards of total offense. 601 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 9: Alec Pierce getting back getting down the field my obligatory. 602 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 9: Alec Pierce mentioned he had like three catches for seventy 603 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 9: four yards late in the third quarter there and just 604 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 9: a dominant performance by Dimes and company where they consistently 605 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 9: made the plays and the Chargers defense couldn't ultimately keep up. 606 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 7: Every time I flipped over to this game, I went, 607 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 7: I would say, oh, Patrick, because Alec was making a play. 608 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 7: You guys, this six and one Indianapolis Colts team, by 609 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 7: the way, is such a complete team. They're so balanced. 610 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 7: They came in having real questions about their corners. Yes, 611 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 7: Justin Herbert put up four to twenty yards through the 612 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 7: ball fifty five times. Had some great performance from a 613 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 7: couple of guys, including this Gadsden guy who is has 614 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 7: arrived on the scene in a. 615 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: In a bolt. I mean his his first game in 616 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: the NFL. Gadson what what was that week three or four? 617 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: Obviously the son of an NFL great, Like he puts 618 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: up seven for sixty and he's he's like putting up 619 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: brock Bowers, Tyler Warren type of number since it's insane. 620 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 7: So yeah, they got theirs certainly in the passing game, 621 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 7: but you cannot outproduce a team that is so production 622 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 7: based that is the Colts, and they're so balanced in 623 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 7: doing it. Run and pass ninety four yards for Jonathan Taylor. 624 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 7: But then also, you have like six receivers getting at 625 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 7: least three catches a piece. 626 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 8: Is this to me? This is like the deepest receiving 627 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 8: core in the NFL right now. 628 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: Well in there, I agree in terms of like top 629 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: like four guys who you if you're including Warren as 630 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: the fourth or fifth even when you want. 631 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,959 Speaker 8: Jonathan Taylor had broken catches today. 632 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor has become a complete player. But I'm glad 633 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: you use that word complete because he knew he was 634 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: one of the worst pass blocking running backs in a league, 635 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: and everyone killed stich in a couple of years ago 636 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: when they had that play to win the division. Gardner 637 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: Minshew Minshew to, I believe Tyler Goodson was it, and 638 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: everyone's like, why is Tyler freaking Goodson in the game 639 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: with the division online, which is fair. But Jonathan Taylor admitted, like, 640 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: I just haven't been that guy in pass pro, and 641 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: he talked about working on it all summer long, and 642 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: if you look at the snap distribution, he now does 643 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: not leave the field and that's why he's catching more 644 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: of those dumb poffs. He he doesn't have like the 645 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: best hands in the world. They can catch a dumbpop 646 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: and then when he has the ball in his hands, 647 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: he's still freaking Jonathan Taylor. This offense is just so 648 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: tough to stop, and I am a little disappointed. I 649 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: give the Colts all the credit, but I am a 650 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: little disappointed that Jesse Minner and this Chargers defense has 651 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: had no push back against opposing offenses for the last 652 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: five or six weeks. And they're not that injured, Like 653 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: they got Klio mac back, they got Pairman back. They 654 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: haven't been that injured this whole time. So to me, 655 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: they have been one of the bigger disappointing units in 656 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: the league. 657 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 2: The Chargers defense. What did you see out of them today? 658 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 5: Patrick? 659 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 9: It was they only got pressure on fourteen of Doms's dropbacks, 660 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 9: and even then, because we talked about it all the 661 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 9: time on next gen stats, pressure is more of a 662 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 9: proximity alert than anything else. 663 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 5: So they got close to Daniel Jones. 664 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 9: But even in that situation, he had an eighty nine 665 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 9: passer rating the average over five yard per attempt, where 666 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 9: it was just constant that the Colts checked it down 667 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 9: to be perfectly honest. 668 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 5: Like forty plus was in question. 669 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 9: But they got to a point where they were just 670 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 9: running clock, and the Chargers essentially were running clock as well, 671 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 9: with Herbert throwing for over four fifty, but a lot 672 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 9: of those, like there were four and twelves, fourth and 673 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,959 Speaker 9: twenty twos that the Chargers kept converting and staying on 674 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 9: the field, so it was. 675 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 5: He just didn't make any plays. 676 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 9: It felt like like over the course of the entire game, 677 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 9: Khalil Mack had a sack, but other than that, not 678 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 9: a lot was going on. 679 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: And it's a lot of Herbert, like Herbert scrambling a lot. 680 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Herbert's second half of this game was an 681 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: ultimate like show of just watching a guy trying to 682 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: do it all by himself, and it was pretty entertaining 683 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: to watch, to be honest. I mean, there were a 684 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: lot of like dimes in there, but it's just too much. 685 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: And it'd be one thing if he was making up 686 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: for at one point today being down to their sixth 687 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: tackle because they lost Austin Deckliss at one point, although 688 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: he did come back in. You know, they're gonna get 689 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: Joe All back potentially as early as Thursday night, so 690 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: that would be just team changing for them. But he 691 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: can't be making up for the defense and the offensive 692 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: line situation. They just need the defense to be better 693 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: and the special teams, Like there was a moment in 694 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: this game where they had scored a couple times in 695 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: a row and then special teams gives up a big play. 696 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: Ultimately, though, there's just not many. 697 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: Teams that have that many wide open receivers like Michael Pittman, 698 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: Like guys are just open for Daniel Jones. 699 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 5: It's fun to watch. 700 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd like to, especially as we get like more 701 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 7: and more data from this season, maybe at the halfway 702 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 7: point or something, I'd like to do a deeper look 703 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 7: or deeper dive at this Chargers. 704 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,719 Speaker 8: Defense and like what exactly is going wrong? Because they 705 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 8: started out so so well. 706 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 7: And they look dominant, and they look schematically sound, and 707 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 7: it's almost like we you know, we talk. I know, 708 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 7: it's all this is a huge mental thing and players 709 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 7: have to make plays and coaches have to put players 710 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 7: in good position, but it's almost like, you know, Jesse 711 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 7: Minner doesn't really want to change what he does, nor 712 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 7: does he maybe feel like he can, you know, even 713 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 7: some of their guys that they that they kind of 714 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,239 Speaker 7: brought in and invested in and then developed, you know, 715 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 7: he's trying to play with all these light boxes. You 716 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 7: can't really do that against Jonathan Taylor right now, especially 717 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 7: when the Colts can just kill you in every different 718 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 7: direction possible. You know, there are zoning defense and they 719 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 7: can be really really good when they're playing fundamentally sound, 720 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 7: but then there's just breaks in different places. 721 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,479 Speaker 8: And yeah, injuries are one thing. 722 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 7: But to your point where a lot of the guys 723 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 7: that were injured are back now, they haven't been back 724 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 7: for a long time, so maybe they say they way, 725 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 7: they haven't. 726 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: Been that injured. On defense, they've been an average number 727 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: of injured. They're just thin. I think, yeah, I offense, 728 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: I get it that they're a they're a frustrating team 729 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: the Chargers right now, but most of the credit just 730 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: goes to having to play the Colts. 731 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 8: What I'm saying is, I think it's I think it's 732 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 8: because I curse them. 733 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 2: Honestly, Yeah, that's the raison. 734 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 8: There's no other reason. 735 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 9: There's a significant contrast in specifically watching these two teams 736 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 9: where it's like Justin Herbert is having to square general 737 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 9: relativity and quantum mechanics every single play versus dimes. There 738 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 9: was a play where Michael Pittman Jr. Is in the 739 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 9: bottom of a three receiver and wide open, like where 740 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 9: are the layups? 741 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 3: Yeah? 742 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 5: And the Chargers offense, it's just all Herbert. Yeah. 743 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 2: And it's all Herbert. 744 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: And for the Colts, it's all like everybody. And that 745 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: includes the defense making just enough plays. Shout out to 746 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: Nick Cross with that innerception on the play you talked about. 747 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: That was a great catch. That was like a one 748 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: handed catch. And Friend of the Show, mar hit hit 749 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: the bell, Jordan. She wants to keep track of how 750 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: many times I mentioned Ally Connolly. Friend of the Show. 751 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: Ally Connelly called him in a text perhaps not only 752 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 1: the NFL's most improved player, but potentially the most important 753 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: non superstar in the entire NFL. 754 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 2: Nick Cross. 755 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: And if you want to know what he means by that, 756 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: read the thirty five hundred word essay that he wrote 757 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: about Nick Cross, Who's kind of the spine of the 758 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: structure of how this defense is built, and you'll understand, 759 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: you'll get a little smarter. That's on the read optional subsec. 760 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break because we have a lot 761 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: of games to get to, including the Carson Wentz Revenge, Sock. 762 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 11: Aj Brown to the fourth side. This is the biggest 763 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 11: third down of the season. Quite frankly, Hurts head the gun, 764 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 11: Hurts is black, brick comes for Loush. 765 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 5: He is a little pigot for AJ Brown? 766 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 11: Who has it? 767 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 3: Who hasn't? 768 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 2: He's down at the ten yard line. Hurts day j 769 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 2: Blown Fike Mifflicent. 770 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: Great call there by bar Race Clint w I p 771 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 1: yes Jalen Hurts to a J. Brown helps to seal 772 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: a twenty eight to twenty two victory. And how symbolic, 773 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: how perfect that play was in encapsulating a perfect day 774 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: just about by Jalen Hurts. He was perfect on deep shots, 775 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: by the way, five for five on throws over twenty 776 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 1: yards for two hundred and fifteen yards. This game reminded 777 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: me so much of when their offense was rolling at 778 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: least a passing attack last year. There was a fourth 779 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: down early in the game, fourth and four, and that's 780 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: where he hit his first bomb to AJ Brown ends 781 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: up being a thirty seven yard touchdown, and it reminded 782 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: me so much of a second quarter, fourth and four 783 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: go ball that he threw to AJ Brown in Week six. 784 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: I went to go check last year against the Giants, 785 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: which I thought was if you we're gonna pick one 786 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: play that kind of like unlocked them in the middle 787 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: of the regular season last year. 788 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 2: It was that one. 789 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: He ends up going deep quite a bit in this game, 790 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,760 Speaker 1: including to Devonte Smith. 791 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 11: Hurts under his son of this time with Barkley behind him. 792 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 11: Brown and win to the fourth long and second down. 793 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,479 Speaker 11: Hurts fakes he's pack, He's looking, he is going deep. 794 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,720 Speaker 11: He looked Devonte Smith. He has a Tuning fifteen. 795 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 2: Ten fifth touch to fight Tay Smith. 796 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: Feet Rodgers on real Devonte nine catches one hundred and 797 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 1: eighty three yards. Aj Brown ends up with one twenty 798 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: one in two. They will be happy on the flight home. 799 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: No more drama. It was just an old school Jalen 800 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: Hurts performance. 801 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 8: I'm happy they ran play action. 802 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, and they didn't just run play action, which they 803 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 7: had only run six play action passes entering this game, 804 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 7: and all of them were paired with passes and route combinations. 805 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 8: That did not go over seven yards. 806 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 7: This this game, Jalen Hurts was four for four on 807 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 7: play action from under center for one hundred and twenty 808 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 7: one yards and a touchdown, and so averaging thirty point 809 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 7: three yards per play action pass and a touchdown. He 810 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 7: was also just about perfect against Brian Flores's blitz eleven 811 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 7: for fourteen for two hundred and thirty three, two touchdowns. 812 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: Including that last play like that was great. Solving the blitz. 813 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 8: This looked great. 814 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 7: He had an incredible, incredible game, played nearly perfectly, and 815 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,240 Speaker 7: the Eagles did some different things. 816 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 8: They moved his spot, they developed and. 817 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 7: Formulated and schemed, and this was actually something where no, 818 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 7: they didn't necessarily get the run game going, they didn't 819 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 7: have to. They could throw the ball all day long 820 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 7: against a secondary that is very good. 821 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 2: Right. 822 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: I love that Hurts also had two third and long 823 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: creation plays that when Hurts is playing well, he mixes 824 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: those plays in. He had a third and fifteen to 825 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,399 Speaker 1: DeVante Smith for twenty eight yards and then a third 826 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 1: and thirteen where he scrambled to aj Brown which set 827 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: up one of the touchdown. 828 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 9: Yah, It's set up a touchdown that the Eagles needed. 829 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 9: They needed all of them. And in the manipulation, the 830 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 9: pocket manipulation from Jalen Hurts, where a few years ago 831 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 9: he would have escaped to his right early, he stays 832 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 9: in the edge, comes back around, and then he goes 833 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 9: to the right and gets AJ Brown where we a 834 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 9: couple of weeks ago against a very good receiving cores, 835 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 9: Isaiah Rodgers had the best game ever, literally the best 836 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 9: game ever against Higgins and Jamar Chase, and then he 837 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 9: comes back around and to aj and Devanta gives up 838 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 9: one hundred and fifty six yards including that bomb as 839 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 9: well as the third down to AJ Brown, where those 840 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 9: guys kind of took advantage of their old teammate. And 841 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 9: I think, especially on the slogo to AJ Brown, like 842 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 9: that prior knowledge, you know, it comes into play. 843 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: Shuts up all the WIP callers who are like, how 844 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: did we possibly let Isaiah Rodgers go? 845 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 2: Although I think, you know, it would have been good 846 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 2: to keep him. It was. 847 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, Dori Jackson got banged. 848 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: Up in the middle of the game, that's true, and 849 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: Killer Ring like, not like they've been great, but you 850 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: should be able to survive with one replacement level cornerback, 851 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: and they did for the most part. 852 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 2: Today. 853 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: It was a weird Fangio game typical in that like 854 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: they let them go down the field and they end 855 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 1: up forcing quote unquote five field goals in six red 856 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: zone trips. Carson Wentz and the running game really moved 857 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: the ball well all day. 858 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 12: Now. 859 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: Two of those forced field goals were after touchdowns called 860 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 1: back one by penalty. A nightmare game for their center, 861 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: Blake Brendle. Blake Brendle in this game, even in just 862 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: the first half, had a sequence where he threw the 863 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: ball twenty yards over Carson Wentz's head. There goes one 864 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: red zone drive, he gives up a massive hit from 865 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: Jalen Carter which turns into a pick six and get 866 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: to be early and as a penalty that calls back 867 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: a touchdown. They also, I thought made a crazy overrule 868 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: on a potential TJ Howkinson touchdown with a little under 869 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: three minutes to go. To me that that was a 870 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: touchdown and the end of the game would have looked 871 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: a little bit different. That's not taking anything away, it's 872 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: just pointing out it was a weird game where Carson 873 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: Wentz looked good for about eighty percent of the place 874 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: and the other plays were such disasters that that's what 875 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: people will remember. 876 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I and also I would I would put 877 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 7: Kevin O'Connell in there too with some of the play calls. 878 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 7: At one point at a second and one in the 879 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 7: second quarter from the six yard line and they end 880 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 7: up kicking a thirty three yard field goal from that 881 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 7: field position, I mean. 882 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 2: Not running it in any of those plays. 883 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, and it was It's one of those games where 884 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 7: you just you just take Carson Wentz for who he is, 885 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 7: take him as he is, and whatever comes with him. 886 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 7: You just try to endure and weather the storm. You know, 887 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 7: I thought, because of all the messiness that was happening 888 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 7: for the Eagles internally and all the chatter externally, and 889 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 7: could they actually adjust and could they actually do X, 890 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 7: Y and Z coming up against a really tough defense 891 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 7: and reputationally tough defense and schematically tough defense, and then 892 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 7: a pretty composed despite all the uncertainty at quarterback, relatively 893 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 7: composed and well coached offense, especially with some of the 894 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 7: weapons that are available to Carson Wentz. But the Vikings 895 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 7: teetered on the brink of pure chaos to me multiple times. 896 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 7: And again they could go most of the field and 897 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,240 Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, they would things would just happen. 898 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 7: They would just make mistakes, or there would be weird 899 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 7: play calling sequences, or the Vikings we makeuld play, or 900 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 7: the officials would get involved, either one. 901 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 8: You know, at every pick one, anything could have happened 902 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 8: and did happen in this game. 903 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 9: There was and I'll give you because on the Jaylgs 904 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 9: pick six, like he starts lined up over top of 905 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 9: Justin Jefferson, kind of drifts a little bit and then 906 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 9: runs back over and Carson Wentz gets plastered, as you 907 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,399 Speaker 9: noted by Jalen Carter. 908 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 5: And those interceptions happen. They happen all the time. 909 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 9: The Makuba interception was the typical Carson Wentz pick where 910 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 9: it's like, you can't, you can't throw that ball that 911 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 9: really had no chance to be completed, and he's just 912 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 9: kind of throwing a yolo ball as if it's a 913 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 9: hail Mary situation. 914 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 5: But they're still in the game at that point. 915 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: Oh it's early second quarter. I mean, he played pretty 916 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,800 Speaker 1: well from that point forward. At that moment, I thought 917 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: either JJ McCarthy or Max Brasmer is starting next week, 918 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,919 Speaker 1: because I just thought it was gonna circle down the drain. 919 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: And actually Wentz played pretty well the rest of the game. 920 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he ends up with three hundred and thirteen 921 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: yards like I said, he could have had they could 922 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: have had a couple of touchdowns there, and he has 923 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: them in it at the end. But yeah, when you 924 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 1: have a unfortunately, he's going to have these sequences. The 925 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: sequence was a pick six, a play where he fritzed 926 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: out and threw the ball backwards. Uh, and it ended 927 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: up being a negative nine fumble that's what it's called 928 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: at because he threw the ball backwards out of bounds. 929 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: Then a holding penalty on his offense, and then the 930 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: other interception. So it's just like those four plays just 931 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 1: absolutely killed them. Take everything away though, And the Vikings defense, 932 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: I don't think it's been special this year. It's just 933 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: been okay, it's like the twelfth best defense in the league. 934 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 2: And they didn't. 935 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: They weren't special today and they just that's just they just. 936 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 2: Need to be. 937 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 8: But they solved the Toush push they. 938 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 1: Saw maybe I mean, yes, they had a defensive player 939 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 1: lying down in front of the center on his side 940 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 1: essentially with two players over him to try to block it. Now, 941 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: they the Eagles did hit their first Toush push, but 942 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: it was very close and it was tight. And then 943 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: the next one there was actually a false start on 944 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: aj Brown, so we never really found but it was 945 00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 1: it was interesting. You'll see We'll see if someone copies them, no, 946 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: because I don't. 947 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 5: Know it puts ten people. 948 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 2: Okay, he's a human. 949 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,760 Speaker 8: Beings, He's a human literally they literally called this gup 950 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 8: like recently. It's like, who was it worked up? Today? 951 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 7: You are to lay horizontally across the line of scrimmage. 952 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 2: It's amazing. This is insane, lawens Is it crazy? 953 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: That's the type of thing led to Yeah, it's the 954 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: type of thing that led to his Dolphins players, like 955 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: not being sad when he left good Win by the Eagles, 956 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 1: and uh, more than anything, it's it comes down to 957 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 1: the players. The Eagles offensive line was totally dominant. None 958 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: of the Vikings pass rushers won one on one matchups 959 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: at all. It should be pointed out helping Jalen Hurts, 960 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: while on the other side, the return of Jalen Carter 961 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 1: being Jalen freaking Carter made all the difference in the world. 962 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: There wasn't a single edge rusher in this game that 963 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 1: had a quick pressure. You know how many Jalen Carter 964 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 1: had all by himself. 965 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 2: Six. He was awesome in this game. Eagles win. 966 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: Vikings fall to three and three ahead of tnf Let's 967 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 1: stay in the NFC East play clock. 968 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 4: At one, they get it off, Blitz is coming, Mariota 969 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 4: in trouble being ripped away, stays alive, throws it in 970 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 4: the fire, picked off. 971 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 12: Guess who to Ron Bland one man the big pick six. 972 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 2: That's Kevin Burkhart on Fox. 973 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: And that's also the trademark oh call by Tom Brady 974 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,399 Speaker 1: or is it more like, oh, it's just a lot. 975 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 2: It's a lot of poh every week. Should someone tell 976 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 2: him to stop bet? 977 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 7: Or no? 978 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 8: We like it feels like he should. 979 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: It's authentic, it's energy, Okay. Forty four to twenty two. 980 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 1: The Cowboys win a game where sure the Commanders did 981 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: not have Deebo Samuel or Terry McLaurin, and they lost 982 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels in the third quarter of this game and 983 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: he did not return and that's the biggest story coming 984 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: out of this game. But ultimately, the Cowboys offense, we're 985 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 1: putting up points no matter who is going to be 986 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: on the Commanders today. 987 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 8: And their defense actually helped them today. You guys. 988 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 7: They played complimentary football in all three phases and especially. 989 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 8: Notable on defense. 990 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 7: I want to put a spotlight on the two Dallas 991 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 7: takeaways in the third quarter, both of them that led 992 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 7: to touchdowns. The first was a sack fumble Jadavian Clowney 993 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 7: recovered it. That was the play that Jayden Daniels heard 994 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 7: his hamstring on and eventually was ruled out of the 995 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 7: game after first going to get checked out in the 996 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 7: blue tent and then going to the locker room. Plus 997 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott and the Cowboys then scored on the corresponding possession. 998 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,280 Speaker 7: Marcus Mariota comes in, he throws a pick six, really 999 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 7: bad you saw it, desperation throw by Marcus Mariota. Darn 1000 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 7: Bland comes in and scores off the takeaway, and it 1001 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 7: marked just a really good day for the Cowboys defense overall. Yes, 1002 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:01,840 Speaker 7: against a really depleted Commander's receiver room as previously noted, 1003 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,359 Speaker 7: but the Cowboys, when facing the like numbers four, five, 1004 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 7: and six Washington receivers and a very banged up zach Ertz, 1005 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 7: just decided like, hey, we are going to play a 1006 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 7: ton of man to man coverage in this game. We 1007 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 7: are going to blitz more than we normally do. The 1008 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,919 Speaker 7: neck veins on Matt Eberfluss's neck were standing out every 1009 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 7: time the sideline cameras cut to him. 1010 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 8: This was the defense had juice. 1011 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 7: This game, they played complimentary football and again I already 1012 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 7: can hear it now. 1013 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 8: Yes, yes, the Washington Commanders. 1014 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 7: Were extremely depleted, even down a quarterback by the end 1015 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 7: of it. But this Cowboys defense really needed a game 1016 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 7: like this. They were good, pretty good against the run 1017 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 7: as well, and they made plays and that is something 1018 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 7: that's been sorely lacking. Because Dak Prescott had another incredible game. 1019 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 1: It's happening every week. To me, he's been the best 1020 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league along with Mahomes. I would say 1021 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 1: we'll get to him, but in terms of just consistently 1022 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 1: every week, Dak has been ridiculous. And you know, Ceedee 1023 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 1: Lamb returns to this game and he puts up, you know, 1024 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: a monster touchdown right off the bat. What was that 1025 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: seventy six yards or something, and yet George Pickens, you know, 1026 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: still ends up having like a very entertaining game. 1027 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, anything can happen when this guy touches the ball. 1028 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 9: No, we see because the Cowboys were still explosive without 1029 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 9: CD Lamb, but you could, of course CEEDI and Dak 1030 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 9: have played a lot of football together. 1031 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 5: He had one hundred yards before the end of the 1032 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 5: first half. It wasn't just that home run. 1033 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 9: There were a couple of third downs where you just 1034 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 9: see them continue to execute at the high level. Javonte 1035 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 9: and the run game got back healthy after the disaster 1036 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 9: in Charlotte. But as much as the positive cutaways of 1037 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 9: Eberflus over on the side, we haven't had a lot 1038 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 9: of positive uberflues cutaways, you know, jayde Daniels still had 1039 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 9: when he was in Yeah, still had a lot of 1040 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 9: time he was back there on sixty three percent of 1041 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,839 Speaker 9: his dropbacks was over two and a half seconds, and 1042 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,759 Speaker 9: a lot of that is you know, balls that would 1043 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,320 Speaker 9: have come out if Terry McLaurin, Yeah, Lesmond or Debo 1044 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 9: who was getting you know, twenty nine percent or twenty 1045 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 9: plus percent of the air yards on this team while 1046 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 9: he was healthy. You could see that the absences really 1047 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 9: impacted the offense as well. But this is a game 1048 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,399 Speaker 9: that even if they were there, the Dallas offense was. 1049 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,399 Speaker 7: On fire and one correct because you could see every 1050 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 7: everything was just a little off the timing, some of 1051 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 7: the spacing for the receivers that were available. A couple 1052 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 7: of guys made plays. Jaden Daniels had a really great 1053 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 7: sort of correction. He started running the ball a little 1054 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 7: bit and then getting the ball to Jeremy McNichols who 1055 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 7: had a big catch and run as well to help 1056 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,800 Speaker 7: get them to the goal line. And then Jaden Daniels 1057 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 7: nearly did the same thing that he did last week, 1058 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 7: which was mishandling a bad snap, but instead he keeps 1059 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,840 Speaker 7: it himself, and Jerry McNichols adjusts as well in the 1060 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 7: moment and helps lead block for him keeping it for 1061 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,840 Speaker 7: the touchdown. They make it a game twenty to fifteen. 1062 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 7: Unfortunately for them, Dak Prescott is on the other side. 1063 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,280 Speaker 7: He goes right back to George Pickens deep against Marshawn Lattimore, 1064 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,839 Speaker 7: who did not look like he was having a good 1065 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,280 Speaker 7: time at any point during this game. And he's so smooth. 1066 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 7: He looks like he's running in slow motion, but he's not. 1067 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,760 Speaker 7: It does not make sense to me. He just everything. 1068 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 7: And then all of a sudden, pure chaos hits because 1069 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 7: he does some WWE move or something in the middle 1070 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,280 Speaker 7: of a play, but it sets up a Javonte Williams 1071 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 7: run to the goal line, and then Dak Prescott of 1072 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 7: course hits Jake Ferguson and they scored in about thirty 1073 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 7: seconds to close that to close out the first half, 1074 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,720 Speaker 7: and it just was This Cowboys offense just has it. 1075 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,240 Speaker 7: They won't have this kind of performance for their defense, 1076 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,800 Speaker 7: I don't think for the rest of the season. 1077 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 8: Although the adjustments I think were liudable. 1078 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,760 Speaker 7: Like I said, playing more man coverage is not something 1079 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 7: that they wanted to do clearly earlier in the season. 1080 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,760 Speaker 7: They won't be able to against non depleted receiver corps 1081 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 7: that they'll face later in the year. But at the 1082 00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 7: same time, like man, these games, these Dak Prescott games 1083 00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 7: are just awesome. 1084 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 1: Well, they can play more man and I'm sure they will. 1085 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,719 Speaker 1: It's shout out to a Beat reporters. Shout out to 1086 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,719 Speaker 1: the Cowboys for letting Beat reporters watch actual practice a 1087 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 1: little bit unlike other teams. They did note this week 1088 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,239 Speaker 1: that they saw them practicing man coverage quite a bit 1089 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 1: more than they usually do, and it's like, yeah, be flexible. 1090 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 2: To go back to the Eagles game quickly. 1091 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: One of the reasons they want is Vic Fangio called 1092 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: man on so much more than they normally do, and 1093 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 1: because that's what scrambled to Carson Wentz's brain, and they 1094 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: need to be flexible. You paid Deron Bland and Trevon Diggs. 1095 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: All that money, let them do what they do best. 1096 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 1: And yeah, for all the excuses that you can make 1097 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 1: for this win. They essentially were trailing thirty five to 1098 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 1: fourteen before Marcus Mariota took a snap. 1099 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 7: I flipped to the Broncos game for example, But I 1100 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 7: just want to shout out Brandon Aubrey. There's another sixty 1101 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 7: one yard field goal. So we mentioned Lucas Herisik earlier, 1102 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,040 Speaker 7: and Brandon Aubrey hit a sixty one yard field goal 1103 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 7: to go up twenty to eight there in the first half. 1104 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 8: I mean, kickers, man. 1105 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: It's becoming normal. You know what else is becoming normal? 1106 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,359 Speaker 1: Like the Cowboys just they're part of this season at 1107 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 1: this point. I guess I'm just I don't know, Like 1108 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: put the NFL hat on me and put me next 1109 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,240 Speaker 1: to Rob Low in the crowd, cause, like I find 1110 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: myself rooting for teams to stay alive and interesting, that's 1111 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: kind of what I want, And it's pretty interesting. The 1112 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: Cowboys are ahead of the Commanders right now in the 1113 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 1: NFC East. Man, if the Giants had finished off that 1114 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 1: game had be really spicy there, but three three and 1115 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: one they're just in the mix. They might have the 1116 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,800 Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league. The Commanders are going to 1117 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,319 Speaker 1: have to do something they haven't had to with Dan Quinn, 1118 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 1: which is going to get out of a little bit 1119 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: of a rut here at three and four. Uh, let's 1120 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 1: go to a team in London who barely spent any 1121 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: time there, but they're not trying to get out of 1122 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:48,799 Speaker 1: a rud at all. 1123 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 6: Fourth and one, Stafford under center, staff rolling left, looking downfield. 1124 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 6: Stafford plants throws deep down the middle of the. 1125 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 5: Field of the end. It's a touchdown Rams. 1126 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 10: It's the rookie tiny Terrence ferguson his first career touchdown 1127 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 10: on a fourth and one play. 1128 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 3: The explanation point for the Rams in London. 1129 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,399 Speaker 1: That is JP shagic from Westwood One. Apologies to JB. 1130 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 1: Long if you putting a JP instead of a JB 1131 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 1: just feels wrong. We couldn't we couldn't find the radio 1132 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 1: calls for JB. Long, who I am reliably told from JB. 1133 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 1: Long spent less than twelve hours in there. Its announced 1134 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: the college football game in America on Saturday night, and 1135 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,760 Speaker 1: then flew over called the game. The Rams win thirty 1136 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 1: five to seven. Yet they barely spent more than twenty 1137 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 1: four hours there. They got their Saturday morning, and you 1138 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,320 Speaker 1: wonder if teams are going to start copying them because 1139 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford finished with five touchdowns in a game where 1140 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 1: everything looked good for the Rams except for maybe the 1141 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 1: offense in the third quarter. But that's like a small 1142 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 1: little knit to pick Patrick. Like their defense was awesome, 1143 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:05,720 Speaker 1: their offense was awesome. 1144 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 2: Where do you want to start. 1145 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 9: We'll start with DeVante Adams breaking an NFL record today 1146 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 9: having three touchdowns, all less than two yards. One of 1147 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 9: them was a one hander that he called for Matthew Stafford. 1148 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 9: As you wondered, like, what would this offense look like 1149 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,840 Speaker 9: without Pukaakua, The answer is pretty good. Where the Jags 1150 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 9: really like there's a conversation to be had because the 1151 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 9: deployment of Travis Hunter was mostly at wide receiver in 1152 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 9: this game against the Rams. But Andrew Winguard once again, 1153 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:35,919 Speaker 9: like we just saw him get beat on that play 1154 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 9: action touchdown to the tight end, Like it's week after 1155 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,919 Speaker 9: week where teams are isolating him in coverage and it's 1156 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 9: just it's the results are not good for the Jacksonville Jaguars. 1157 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,919 Speaker 1: Two huge penalties in the first half of this game 1158 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 1: before giving that playoff. Yeah, Stafford ends up with five 1159 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: touchdowns in one and eighty two yards, not a stat 1160 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,879 Speaker 1: line you normally see, but it was raining heavily through 1161 00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,799 Speaker 1: the first half of this game. The rain did let up, 1162 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,319 Speaker 1: but it was sloppy, people slipping all around, so not 1163 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 1: a ton of chunk plays down the field until you know. 1164 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 1: Hunter got one in Diami Brown for the Jaguars later, and. 1165 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 7: All five of his touchdowns came against the blitz, which 1166 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 7: again you would think, because of the familiarity between these 1167 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:21,840 Speaker 7: two coaching staffs, that you just don't blitz Matthew Stafford, 1168 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,319 Speaker 7: but apparently that is what the Jacksonville Jaguars decided they 1169 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 7: were going to try to do today, possibly trying to 1170 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,359 Speaker 7: take advantage of yet again missing Rob Hanstein at right 1171 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,400 Speaker 7: tackle and also missing pukin Akua, who's really great in 1172 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 7: the blocking service. I think it is such a compliment 1173 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 7: to how many jobs pukin Akua actually does for the 1174 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,879 Speaker 7: Rams that they were in twelve or thirteen personnel, more 1175 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,680 Speaker 7: than they have been by volume since twenty twenty and 1176 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 7: even before that, since we really just started tracking this. 1177 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,000 Speaker 1: Oh, I got a next Genen stats please go for it. 1178 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,959 Speaker 1: In thirteen personnel, so that's three tight ends on the field. 1179 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: It is by far the most any team as ever 1180 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 1: had three tight ends on the field. It was almost 1181 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 1: forty percent of the time. Next Gen only tracks back 1182 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 1: to twenty sixteen, but by far. For comparison, the Rams 1183 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,839 Speaker 1: had six snaps total in that with that personnel over 1184 00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,799 Speaker 1: the last four years. And yeah, they were in it 1185 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,799 Speaker 1: almost forty percent of this game. 1186 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 2: And they just got heavy, and they they got good. 1187 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 7: Because Puka Nikov plays both receiver and tight end for them, 1188 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,239 Speaker 7: depending on the type of pass play or the type 1189 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 7: of run play. 1190 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 8: And I think that is such a compliment to him. 1191 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 8: And it is again I think a really. 1192 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 7: Timely and really good reminder to Rams head coach Sean 1193 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 7: McVay that you can use more than one player on 1194 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 7: your roster, You can target more than one player, you 1195 00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:48,280 Speaker 7: can use more than one personnel in hell, good things 1196 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 7: might happen when you decide to do so, especially if 1197 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,280 Speaker 7: you can finally be the Kyle Shanahan of the world 1198 00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,319 Speaker 7: and beat up on your former offensive later Liam Cohen 1199 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 7: and beat up on your former employee and less need 1200 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 7: can beat up on his former protege James Gladstone. This 1201 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,960 Speaker 7: game had so many connections and so much, so many 1202 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 7: layers and levels to it. But I think to me, 1203 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 7: when Sean wy Fay goes into the bye week, and 1204 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 7: I know this is when he goes and actually catches 1205 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 7: up on what the rest of the league is doing, 1206 00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 7: like a true football sico, he is going to look 1207 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 7: back at this game and say, this is exactly what 1208 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 7: I myself said I wanted to do with this team, 1209 00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 7: including with Pooka Is on the field, is be as 1210 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 7: multiple as possible, have so much more dimension to this offense. 1211 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:38,439 Speaker 8: I think he called a great game. 1212 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,680 Speaker 7: I think Chrishula called a hell of a game on 1213 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 7: defense as well. He kind of hid the issues that 1214 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 7: those cornerbacks are having and took advantage of still continued miscommunication, inconsistency, 1215 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 7: lack of identity within the Jaguars passing game that Patrick 1216 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:52,960 Speaker 7: you have been on. 1217 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 8: You've pointed this out from the jump. 1218 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 9: Well, and the thing is that we talk about fighting 1219 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 9: history and legacy, that they're doing it. And it wasn't 1220 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 9: just Brian Thomas Junior the end breakers on inbreakers today, 1221 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 9: trav was nine of twenty four hundred and forty two yards. 1222 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 9: Diammi Brown had one where he looked like he was 1223 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,600 Speaker 9: making a weird decision on it. There was another by 1224 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,480 Speaker 9: Parker Washington, and again a lot of the breakers where 1225 00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 9: guys were trying to make breaks and slipping and falling. 1226 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 9: But both teams were playing on the same field. It 1227 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 9: just seemed to impact the Jags a little bit more 1228 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 9: where you almost wonder like, maybe just take the middle 1229 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 9: of the field out. If everything is to go on 1230 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 9: that one get that way for the passing game, maybe 1231 00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 9: just stop doing it all together, right. 1232 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 1: There was a third down where, yeah, you mentioned Diami 1233 00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 1: Brown kind of stopped short or is it a little confused? 1234 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,440 Speaker 1: Travis Hunter doesn't even look the way the ball on 1235 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,520 Speaker 1: another third down, although he does finish with eight catches 1236 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 1: for one hundred and one yards. 1237 00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 2: They were trying to target him, especially late. 1238 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 1: It was almost like they were trying to work on him, 1239 00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 1: and he had a thirty four yard touchdown. 1240 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:51,840 Speaker 2: He had a great catch down the field. 1241 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 1: It's another game where I think the box score for 1242 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence lied, like I don't think he played well. 1243 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 1: There was a fourth down where he made a back 1244 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 1: decision to run in the goal line and then got 1245 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 1: stopped but didn't like kind of if you're going to 1246 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 1: do it, you kind of have to make it happen 1247 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,200 Speaker 1: and go all out and ultimately just you know, gets 1248 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 1: called you know, short by a couple of yards. He 1249 00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 1: takes a couple of sacks on a play where there's 1250 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 1: like a pretty clear blitz. The Rams have a tendency 1251 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 1: to blitz on second down. It's just and he just 1252 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 1: doesn't see it. He just he kind of doesn't see 1253 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 1: things and hit the bell. Olie was at the game, 1254 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 1: and this is good insider information. 1255 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 8: It's always good information. 1256 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 2: That's as good information. I want to make the listeners. 1257 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 7: I want to make sure the listeners arewhare what we're 1258 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,280 Speaker 7: doing here.

Okay. 1277 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:45,160 Speaker 1: I do want to mention the point, which was he's 1278 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 1: at the game and he said the sideline and the 1279 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:54,400 Speaker 1: offensive organizational whatever you want to call it for the 1280 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 1: Jaguars was a total was in total chaost the whole time. 1281 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 2: Players didn't know whether to go in or not. 1282 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 1: Like they're talk it's total confusion out of the side, 1283 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,560 Speaker 1: Like players don't seem to know the play. 1284 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 2: They're coming in and out of the huddle. 1285 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 1: Liam Cohen's kind of yelling at Trevor Lawrence to get 1286 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 1: back in the huddle. But Trevor Lawrence is like coming 1287 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:11,720 Speaker 1: back out of the huddle to like find out what's 1288 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 1: going on. Whatever is going on, Trevor Lawrence is not 1289 01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: really understanding I think, or you know, figuring out what 1290 01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:23,919 Speaker 1: they are trying to accomplish on offense. I think that's 1291 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 1: clear to say by you wouldn't even need to be 1292 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 1: there to see that to know that. But I think 1293 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,520 Speaker 1: just by what's going on on the field, it's like 1294 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 1: it's too much for him and this offense right now. 1295 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 2: But a lot of that is because you know that 1296 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 2: the Rams were doing great things on. 1297 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 1: Their set of the ball as well. All right, let's 1298 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 1: move on. That was that was a sad game to 1299 01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,080 Speaker 1: send to London. I feel bad, but at least at 1300 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 1: least they saw a great performance by a team that 1301 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 1: could be going deep in the playoffs and if they 1302 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 1: went to the postgame pression the billionaire, Oh that's a 1303 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 1: good call. 1304 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:54,760 Speaker 2: A great quote too by Devonte Adams. 1305 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 5: He's a killer. That's that's what killers do. They go 1306 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 5: out and kills. 1307 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,240 Speaker 1: I feel like we could use that, uh in the future. 1308 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how that was him talking about Matthew Stafford, not. 1309 01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 9: Just a general killers staff Sometimes, you know, kill in 1310 01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 9: varying locations. 1311 01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 1: Then they'll just go and that is what killers do. 1312 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,640 Speaker 1: By definitie, that's how they become killers. Where the panther's 1313 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 1: gonna be killers, We're gonna find out after the break. 1314 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 4: In an empty set, Hubbard playing an up back position 1315 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,280 Speaker 4: now he motions off the left tip of Dalton handy 1316 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 4: the staff back to throw, launches deep downfieldly get it. 1317 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:44,360 Speaker 9: Just makes the catch inside the twenty five yard line. 1318 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,880 Speaker 2: It's been a career game for Xavior Lea. 1319 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:53,360 Speaker 5: Yet they went for the Haymaker. That's a Xavior league 1320 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 5: get delivers. 1321 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 1: That's a Gutchy call right there. That was any draft 1322 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:03,640 Speaker 1: on w r F X and Luke Keigley, maybe Jake Dolone, 1323 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:09,120 Speaker 1: Maybe Jake Doloone, who knows, probably Jake Dilone. Panthers win 1324 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:13,160 Speaker 1: thirteen to six in a game that they unfortunately lost 1325 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 1: Bryce Young to an ankle injury. Andy Dalton finishes the 1326 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 1: game out. But yes, if we're talking most improved players, 1327 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,520 Speaker 1: how about just within this season. Xavier Lagett was struggling 1328 01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,280 Speaker 1: in September. But this is two games here where he 1329 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: stepped up and made huge plays. Nine catches, ninety two 1330 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 1: yards and the Carolina Panthers are over five hundred. 1331 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:38,680 Speaker 2: Jets haven't won a game. 1332 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 9: Yes, and the Xavier Lagett that was the play to 1333 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 9: ice the game. They really didn't do anything with Andy 1334 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,800 Speaker 9: Dalton in like that was the most significant play on offense. 1335 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 5: And it's Andy Dalton. 1336 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 9: You know, firing up the fire engine on a hot 1337 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,560 Speaker 9: air balloon and Examperla. 1338 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 5: Gets down there and shields off to three under. 1339 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,440 Speaker 9: That's what it was, Greg to go back here, Well 1340 01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 9: that's that's a like you can hear the as that 1341 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,880 Speaker 9: ball like slowly descends and Laget's having a fight for 1342 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,600 Speaker 9: his life to keep it from being picked off. So 1343 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 9: go back to the second quarter, three nothing Panthers. The 1344 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 9: Jets run quarterback Powerboat justin Fields. He gets the first down, 1345 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 9: he gets hit as he slides by Nick Scott. He's 1346 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:17,959 Speaker 9: on the turf for like a third of a second. 1347 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 9: Then he pops up. The independent neurologists pulls him off 1348 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 9: the field to Rod Taylor comes in Fields eventually comes 1349 01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,960 Speaker 9: back in the game. But the deepest penetration they got 1350 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 9: was to the forty four of the Panthers with Fields 1351 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 9: in after that hit, and he would be substituted out. 1352 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,479 Speaker 9: I didn't quite get to Aaron Glenn's postgame comments because 1353 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 9: I ran to do a Game Day live after that, 1354 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 9: but I wonder about that decision and how the evaluation 1355 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,560 Speaker 9: played into that. The Panthers got their score before halftime. 1356 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,040 Speaker 9: Bryce hits t Mac twice on back to back eleven 1357 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:52,919 Speaker 9: yard passes. Then they set up a screen to Chewba 1358 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,080 Speaker 9: Hubbard that the Jets defense was not there for at all, 1359 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 9: to the extent that there were three linemen out front 1360 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,560 Speaker 9: blocking for Cuba Hubbard. They couldn't get to anybody before 1361 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,840 Speaker 9: Trooper ran ahead of them. They get twenty six yards 1362 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,920 Speaker 9: and I'll count that screen as a play action play 1363 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 9: where Bryce was very good on play action. He had 1364 01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,840 Speaker 9: one hundred and twelve passer rating and a touchdown. A 1365 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 9: couple of plays after that, he does hit Laget on 1366 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 9: another play action play. For that he was trying to 1367 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,080 Speaker 9: spin away from Briggs on the play where Briggs kind 1368 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,880 Speaker 9: of dives low and clips his ankle. They've got the 1369 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,959 Speaker 9: Bills up next. I hope they're able to have Bryce because, 1370 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,919 Speaker 9: as we noted, they don't really do anything with Andy 1371 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 9: Dalton today, and I was a short play coming in 1372 01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,920 Speaker 9: where he's having to play for, you know, in the 1373 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,600 Speaker 9: backup position. I'll grant that against the defense that's been 1374 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 9: solid relatively late, the Jets have been, but jac Horn's 1375 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,040 Speaker 9: play in the second half keeps them in this lead 1376 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 9: because he has a one handed interception of Torod Taylor 1377 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:56,120 Speaker 9: unreal play for some reason, Taylor troes JC Horn once 1378 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 9: again on like this day of NFL Legacy where Gadston 1379 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 9: goes off in my game, Right, Andy Horn goes off 1380 01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 9: in my game where he single handedly literally saves this 1381 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,439 Speaker 9: game for the Carolina Panthers, because other than the hot 1382 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,160 Speaker 9: air balloon, that was really it in. 1383 01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 5: The second half. 1384 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, to your first question about what Aaron Glenn was saying, effectively, 1385 01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 7: I mean, essentially it is being treated as a benching 1386 01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 7: and Aaron Glenn is not ready to say, according to 1387 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,280 Speaker 7: the jetsby reporters, who the quarterback is going to be 1388 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,000 Speaker 7: next week, and added that the team needed a spark, 1389 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:32,440 Speaker 7: which is why Torod Taylor came back in. 1390 01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:34,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought I agree with you. 1391 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,520 Speaker 7: I thought Bryce Young played pretty well, honestly, and I 1392 01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,640 Speaker 7: think he has been playing pretty well. And I think 1393 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 7: it's interesting. I know locally they don't really like that 1394 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:45,000 Speaker 7: there's a two back system emerging here, especially after rico'dowell. 1395 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 7: But watching Chuba Hubbard manipulate the screen game at one 1396 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,760 Speaker 7: point he outran his own blockers on that play you 1397 01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 7: mentioned to the outside where you would have liked to 1398 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,800 Speaker 7: see the blocking layer back in and sort of thread 1399 01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 7: him through the inside. But he is so athletic and 1400 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,920 Speaker 7: so explosive, especially on some of those short catch and runs. 1401 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 7: And I love that play design and how it was 1402 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 7: set up, and I think if they're going to try 1403 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,400 Speaker 7: to get explosives any which way, not always able to 1404 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,640 Speaker 7: trust them in the passing game. Although really happy for 1405 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:17,760 Speaker 7: Xavier Laguette for having a really solid career game, it 1406 01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,160 Speaker 7: was just a cool thing to watch all of these 1407 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,920 Speaker 7: guys get activated. You really want to make sure that 1408 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 7: Bryce Young can continue this. According to Joe Person at 1409 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 7: The Athletic, my former beat partner, initial testing came back clean. Obviously, 1410 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 7: follow up testing, MRI stuff like that is going to 1411 01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 7: have to happen over the next day or so with 1412 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:40,360 Speaker 7: Bryce Young. Because this Carolina Panthers seemed over which is 1413 01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,479 Speaker 7: over five hundred for the first time since what twenty 1414 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,760 Speaker 7: twenty one? Yeah, they are. They seem like they're improving 1415 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:50,880 Speaker 7: every single week. The defense is improving. Six sacks today. 1416 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 7: They didn't have six sacks the first six games last season. 1417 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,479 Speaker 8: This is just awesome. I love watching this team. 1418 01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,320 Speaker 1: I felt bad about my If they had just played 1419 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 1: Tyrod week, they probably would have won that game. Take 1420 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,560 Speaker 1: just because those two throws by Tyler tyrad were late 1421 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 1: and also seemed to be using the same what was 1422 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:13,240 Speaker 1: it called the balloon propeller thing, had a little bit 1423 01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 1: of that to those throws too. Unfortunately, sas Gardner has 1424 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 1: a concussion and it's just dark days for the Jets. 1425 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:25,559 Speaker 1: But yes, the Panthers at four in three and now 1426 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:28,719 Speaker 1: they're just they're just be in the mix and Reso 1427 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,840 Speaker 1: Dawdle fantasy owners can be happy because he still led 1428 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 1: the team and carries with seventeen. But yeah, Panthers' offense 1429 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,799 Speaker 1: didn't really get that much one four point three yards 1430 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,400 Speaker 1: per play, and the Jets become only the second team 1431 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 1: in the last decade to give up thirteen points or 1432 01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 1: less in two straight games and not win either of them. 1433 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 1: Shout out to the most depressing Bill Belichick team of 1434 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,160 Speaker 1: all time, the twenty twenty three Patriots. Let's go to 1435 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,559 Speaker 1: the Bears, not depressing at all. 1436 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 8: I need a line, hangout. 1437 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,639 Speaker 12: To the right, chet Tat, give it a swip the cup, Cup, 1438 01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 12: get up the queshtging of the episode Touchdown Touchdown. 1439 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 1: Bears, Dianre Swift and Jeff Joniac from WMVP. 1440 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:13,519 Speaker 2: What a tandem. 1441 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:19,760 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, Jordan he may not always be great, but 1442 01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,880 Speaker 1: that man is streaky, and when he's great, he's great. 1443 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,840 Speaker 7: The Bears run game looks so much cleaner and so 1444 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 7: much sharper post bye week than it did heading into 1445 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,719 Speaker 7: the by They had two hundred and twenty two yards 1446 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,840 Speaker 7: behind DeAndre Swift and the seventh round rookie running back 1447 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 7: out of Rudkers Kyle Manongai. I hope I am saying 1448 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 7: Matt correctly after hearing it over and over and over 1449 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,400 Speaker 7: again on the broadcast, yet being here for so many hours, 1450 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,640 Speaker 7: it seems to have left my brain. You guys, This 1451 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:52,160 Speaker 7: game looked over over In the first half, the Saints 1452 01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,519 Speaker 7: had just seven first downs, three of them were by penalty. 1453 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:57,360 Speaker 8: Spencer Ratler had already thrown. 1454 01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 7: A bad interception, and Dennis Allen, former head coach, had 1455 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,720 Speaker 7: him totally turned around and was just abusing all the 1456 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,760 Speaker 7: skill guys on some of his blitzes that he was 1457 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 7: sending at the Saints and that the tight ends and 1458 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 7: some of the receivers and the running backs had to 1459 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 7: pick up. And it turned into interceptions, and it turned 1460 01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,720 Speaker 7: into bad plays by Spencer Ratler, and Chicago was up 1461 01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,719 Speaker 7: twenty to zero right before the end of the half, 1462 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,880 Speaker 7: Spencer Ratler hits Chris Olave on two really really huge plays, 1463 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,639 Speaker 7: including a touchdown that made up seventy eight of Saints 1464 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 7: one hundred and four first half yards. 1465 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 8: You can't stop the Denissance, You cannot stop the dnosaide. 1466 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:33,680 Speaker 2: Well, it's back on. 1467 01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,960 Speaker 7: You may only it's back on, and you may only 1468 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 7: hope to contain it. Because three total interceptions by Spencer Raller, 1469 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 7: including one late in the fourth quarter by Tremaine Edmunds 1470 01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,560 Speaker 7: on a tipped pass that gave the Bears their sixteenth 1471 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,719 Speaker 7: takeaway of the season. And I think we have sound 1472 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,360 Speaker 7: for the play that icd the game. 1473 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,799 Speaker 10: Rattler brings Jackson in motion to the right, takes the snap, 1474 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,600 Speaker 10: gonna roll to the right. Camara got bumped up and 1475 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 10: cover stipped up in the earners Tamade Edvans on. 1476 01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,840 Speaker 2: The tip by Edwards. Bears taken away for a fourth 1477 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:05,519 Speaker 2: time today. 1478 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,559 Speaker 5: Edwards on the tip they wanted to. 1479 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:09,160 Speaker 2: Go to Kamara. 1480 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 10: He got wiped up by Johnson, the is line banker, 1481 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,840 Speaker 10: and that boone was ricocheted right into the hands of 1482 01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,200 Speaker 10: Tremade Edmonds is third interception this year. 1483 01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, well we're you know, just going heavy on Dennis Allen. 1484 01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:25,400 Speaker 1: I hate to do this. When I first saw this, 1485 01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:30,160 Speaker 1: I have to admit I had a physical reaction. But 1486 01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,800 Speaker 1: here's Ben Johnson in the locker room after the game 1487 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,320 Speaker 1: giving a game ball away that will make the skin 1488 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:40,360 Speaker 1: crawl of any New Orleans resident. 1489 01:11:41,200 --> 01:12:19,880 Speaker 13: Okay, defense forty four yards on the ground, defense for sacks. 1490 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,200 Speaker 2: That is ow, get with it, he lairs, I love it. 1491 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,479 Speaker 7: He did the little kick dance that was on TikTok 1492 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:11,320 Speaker 7: a couple of years ago. 1493 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 2: To be real, the Bears have won four straight games. 1494 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,320 Speaker 1: They've been kind of wacky, but they're winning in different 1495 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,640 Speaker 1: types of ways. I think they're creating offense. And my 1496 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 1: number one takeaway from this game, and it's now from 1497 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,120 Speaker 1: the two weeks, is they just look like a different 1498 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,439 Speaker 1: team since to buy defensively and running the ball and 1499 01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 1: man like. I think they solve some things they might 1500 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:35,040 Speaker 1: have been because Ben Johnson opened up the playbook a 1501 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,080 Speaker 1: little bit. He said the Governor was off to the 1502 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,599 Speaker 1: Monday night football guys in terms of how they use 1503 01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,840 Speaker 1: motions and everything. They were trying to really simplify it 1504 01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: the first month. It's like it's not simplified anymore. That's 1505 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,360 Speaker 1: helping the running game, and then the defense has just 1506 01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:48,439 Speaker 1: seemed to find something in the last couple of weeks. 1507 01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,479 Speaker 9: Yeah, fifty seven percent success right for Deandrew Swift, fifty 1508 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 9: three for Kamon young Guy, and the defense holding Alvin 1509 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,880 Speaker 9: Kamara to thirty six percent success rate. And I was 1510 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,800 Speaker 9: excited for the the Kendre Miller revenge game against Dennis Allen. 1511 01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 9: Chris Alave kind of got his through the pass game, 1512 01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 9: but just one carry for seven yard, got hurt for 1513 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:08,920 Speaker 9: Kendre Miller got. 1514 01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:10,200 Speaker 5: Hurt leaving the game. 1515 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:14,800 Speaker 9: And it's a weird situation for the ground game for 1516 01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,160 Speaker 9: the Saints where they were behind and trailing and having 1517 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 9: to throw a lot here, but it seemed like asking 1518 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 9: a lot of Spencer Ratler. But again, this is a 1519 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,720 Speaker 9: defense that before the bye was getting run over by 1520 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,920 Speaker 9: every buck and the Commanders come in with the I 1521 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 9: think the number two run game at the time, they 1522 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,560 Speaker 9: shut them down. And now after this performance, like, yeah, 1523 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:40,720 Speaker 9: perhaps taking personnel decisions away from Dennis Allen allows him 1524 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,120 Speaker 9: to ingratiate himself. 1525 01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,840 Speaker 5: To a locker room in a way that we didn't 1526 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 5: see it. 1527 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:45,520 Speaker 2: He's always been a good coordinator. 1528 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's why Ben Johnson hired him, But it 1529 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 7: is interesting on the other side, Like Greg, you brought 1530 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,200 Speaker 7: up their own run game. I mean, especially when they're 1531 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:57,200 Speaker 7: doing these zone runs, the layers of their blocking is 1532 01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:01,040 Speaker 7: so much cleaner. When I say it means that not 1533 01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:02,800 Speaker 7: only are they getting off the line of scrimmage, but 1534 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:07,360 Speaker 7: they're setting up second and third layers of their especially 1535 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,719 Speaker 7: outside in middle zone runs. That really helped DeAndre Swift 1536 01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,840 Speaker 7: see it very well, and he's clearly thriving off of that. 1537 01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 7: In the start of the year, some of the yards 1538 01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:20,360 Speaker 7: before contact by this offensive line was there. They were 1539 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,599 Speaker 7: blocking some stuff open. It wasn't totally consistent, but they 1540 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,599 Speaker 7: were blocking some stuff open, and he was not getting 1541 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,680 Speaker 7: the yards after contact and that was a huge issue. 1542 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,439 Speaker 7: He has really come alive post by week, and I 1543 01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:37,320 Speaker 7: think part of it that helps is it's visually more appealing, 1544 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 7: like you can. Actually, I loved what they did this game. 1545 01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:40,520 Speaker 8: The broadcast. 1546 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:44,639 Speaker 7: They did a lot of shots because the booth, like myself, 1547 01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 7: were kind of geeking out over the run game and 1548 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,720 Speaker 7: how much it's improved over the entire or over the 1549 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,040 Speaker 7: last couple of weeks, and they were really showing a 1550 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,680 Speaker 7: lot of the angles exactly clarifying what they meant when 1551 01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 7: they were talking about some of what the running back 1552 01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,679 Speaker 7: was going to be able to see. The thing about 1553 01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:02,360 Speaker 7: this offense that is still erratic is. 1554 01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:03,040 Speaker 8: The passing game. 1555 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:07,080 Speaker 7: And there were a couple of wow plays, and Caleb 1556 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,599 Speaker 7: Williams and Robo Dunze you can tell that when they're 1557 01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 7: really on, they're on, and when they're off, they're just off. 1558 01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,599 Speaker 7: DJ Moore had a nice catch and run play where 1559 01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,559 Speaker 7: it seemed like he just could not get tackled at 1560 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,160 Speaker 7: one point. But it's gonna be one of those games 1561 01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 7: where I think it's gonna be so important to go 1562 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,519 Speaker 7: back and look at the All twenty two because there 1563 01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 7: were some plays where it seemed like Caleb Williams was 1564 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,760 Speaker 7: holding onto the ball for a really long time, and 1565 01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 7: I want to think that it's because players were covered downfield, 1566 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,400 Speaker 7: But then we are talking about the Saints defense here, 1567 01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,040 Speaker 7: and so this is gonna be one of those where 1568 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 7: if you can't really see the full picture on the broadcast, 1569 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,479 Speaker 7: you're gonna want to go look at the full picture 1570 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,360 Speaker 7: before you make a true opinion. But the passing game 1571 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 7: overall is just a little out of sync, a little erratic. 1572 01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:44,599 Speaker 8: They didn't need it today. 1573 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,360 Speaker 7: All they needed was to run the ball well and 1574 01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 7: sometimes that's all you can ask for. 1575 01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,759 Speaker 1: And get good defense. And the offensive line's been better 1576 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:52,720 Speaker 1: that The Saints are supposed to be all about their 1577 01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:54,760 Speaker 1: offensive line, but it has not been good this year. 1578 01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:58,320 Speaker 1: And they lost their captain Eric McCoy today to a 1579 01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,639 Speaker 1: I believe it was actoral or was it a biceps. 1580 01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:03,479 Speaker 1: It was one of those two where it was a 1581 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,760 Speaker 1: biceps and it does not sound good for him. 1582 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:07,639 Speaker 2: That's gonna hurt. 1583 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 1: Those are those are the two injuries that always set 1584 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,320 Speaker 1: off alarm bells for Yeah, it didn't used to exist 1585 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,000 Speaker 1: back in like the seventies. You know, they didn't have 1586 01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:16,200 Speaker 1: like torn biceps. 1587 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,840 Speaker 8: What development came along a lot, you. 1588 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 2: Know what came along. 1589 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,040 Speaker 1: Patrick freaking Mahomes came along to this league, and the 1590 01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:26,200 Speaker 1: day he started playing, he changed it. And he's all 1591 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:27,840 Speaker 1: the way back if he was ever gone, even in 1592 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,320 Speaker 1: the slightest Chiefs do get the. 1593 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,880 Speaker 3: Ball to start the third quarter. That entries into that 1594 01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:35,280 Speaker 3: same discussion. They loaded the right side up again a 1595 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:36,080 Speaker 3: single new. 1596 01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:42,680 Speaker 14: Side Tog Rise touchdown Canza City rash Shee Rise his 1597 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:43,960 Speaker 14: second touchdown. 1598 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:46,559 Speaker 3: The Chiefs go on to sixteen play. 1599 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:51,840 Speaker 6: Ninety four yard drive, three drives, three long touchdown rives. 1600 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 1: Thank you for summing up the first half so beautifully, 1601 01:16:56,360 --> 01:17:00,280 Speaker 1: Mitch hold this on kfn Z, and thank you to 1602 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:04,599 Speaker 1: me for making sure we took this Chiefs team as 1603 01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 1: our survivor. 1604 01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:08,839 Speaker 2: It wouldn't have mattered. We'll get to the Patriots. 1605 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,280 Speaker 1: But if you can choose the game that was the 1606 01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,800 Speaker 1: most lopsided in the entire NFL this season as your 1607 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 1: survivor pick, you're doing something right. The Chiefs finished with 1608 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:24,679 Speaker 1: thirty first downs in this game and the Raiders finished 1609 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:25,800 Speaker 1: with three. 1610 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 2: I don't really need to say that much more. 1611 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,320 Speaker 1: Usually, at some point the stats, like you know, like 1612 01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,720 Speaker 1: there you write down these little stats because like, oh, 1613 01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:36,760 Speaker 1: it'll be crazy to mention that through two and a 1614 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:38,320 Speaker 1: half quarters, these were the stats. 1615 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:39,120 Speaker 2: This is the stats. 1616 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 1: At the end of the game, they brought in Kenny 1617 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 1: Pickett for the last couple of drives. Kenny Pickett's very 1618 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 1: first step he loses a fumble and then of course 1619 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:49,200 Speaker 1: he goes three and out his next drive too, Like 1620 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,839 Speaker 1: it didn't get any better in garbage time. Meanwhile, Gardner 1621 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:56,080 Speaker 1: Minshew played the entire fourth quarter. He had almost as 1622 01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 1: many drives Gardner Minshew in the fourth quarter, which scored 1623 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,960 Speaker 1: zero points by the way as Patrick Mahomes did. Because 1624 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes put up thirty one points in only five 1625 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 1: drives and then his day was absolutely done. 1626 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,400 Speaker 2: They just look so good right now. 1627 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,280 Speaker 8: The Chiefs belt meat ass. 1628 01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,920 Speaker 9: Yes, it was old school to the point where it's 1629 01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 9: Rashie Rice being fully reintegrated like that. Instantly he catches 1630 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:24,559 Speaker 9: the shovel pass and then they force feed him a 1631 01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,240 Speaker 9: touchdown pass down the sideline where they could pick and 1632 01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:28,840 Speaker 9: choose who got to score. 1633 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 5: Just just a nasty Raiders performance across. 1634 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:36,679 Speaker 1: The board, it was, and the linebackers especially got picked 1635 01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,080 Speaker 1: on a Land and Roberts and Devin White. 1636 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:40,000 Speaker 2: It was just ugly. 1637 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 1: But putting Rice in there for juju just he has 1638 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,519 Speaker 1: so much juice. That touchdown throw that we saw what 1639 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,280 Speaker 1: a great route, like his footwork on that one on 1640 01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: one versus q Blue Kelly, like it's just a mismatch. 1641 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 1: They just start checking off everything, like the Mahomes fun 1642 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,840 Speaker 1: factor is there. He had an incompletion of Taekwon Thornton 1643 01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:59,120 Speaker 1: which could have been one of the best throws of 1644 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:00,720 Speaker 1: the year. He was getting hit and he threw it 1645 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 1: about fifty eight yards and hit Taekwon Thornton in the 1646 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,680 Speaker 1: shoulder pad. It didn't It wasn't a completion in the end, 1647 01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,400 Speaker 1: but it was absolutely ridiculous. He had a no look 1648 01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:12,800 Speaker 1: pass that was too worthy. I believe that that was 1649 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:18,719 Speaker 1: an amazing no look throw. He also had a bullet 1650 01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,240 Speaker 1: that was absolutely beautiful. That one was too worthy. The 1651 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,479 Speaker 1: no look was to Rice. He is just out there 1652 01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 1: having fun, and so is Andy Reid. If you just 1653 01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:34,280 Speaker 1: listen to the dummy call that they had on a 1654 01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:36,800 Speaker 1: fourth down conversion, let's listen. 1655 01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:42,200 Speaker 5: Well, they're going for it on their own. Forty tried 1656 01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 5: to draw him off side. Never work, man, Sorry my home, 1657 01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 5: says coach. 1658 01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:51,800 Speaker 6: It doesn't. 1659 01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 7: Oh my god, doesn't any want to do it better? 1660 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:00,280 Speaker 5: Too? 1661 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,439 Speaker 2: Cute or great? What do you think, Patrick, No, they're 1662 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 2: just trying stuff. 1663 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,440 Speaker 5: They're playing the Reers horrible. 1664 01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:11,640 Speaker 2: At that point, the game was close. I think it 1665 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:12,479 Speaker 2: was only seven ye. 1666 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,600 Speaker 5: Just the nature of the game, like it starts to 1667 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:15,360 Speaker 5: zero to zero. 1668 01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:20,280 Speaker 1: They should have never driven that bus around Arrowheader. 1669 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:21,040 Speaker 2: What was it I for? 1670 01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,639 Speaker 5: It was they took of the bus. 1671 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,680 Speaker 1: They have not won a game since, but I got 1672 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:29,000 Speaker 1: to feel like Raiders fans were wondering were we better 1673 01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:30,080 Speaker 1: off of the Antonio Pierce. 1674 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,160 Speaker 8: It wasn't even this regime's fault. 1675 01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,120 Speaker 1: I know, but they're still taking out of him as 1676 01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 1: at least Antonio Pierce kept it close. I mean, Pete 1677 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,439 Speaker 1: Carroll's come in there is the worst team in the NFL, 1678 01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,360 Speaker 1: along with the Jets. I know they've won two games. 1679 01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 1: I guess the Titans are right there too, but everything 1680 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 1: about it is bad. 1681 01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:50,599 Speaker 2: Like they're the It's hard to watch Gino, it's hard 1682 01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:51,320 Speaker 2: to watch the Stevens. 1683 01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 7: This is what I wonder And I asked you the 1684 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 7: same question, but Greg, it was hard for you to 1685 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:59,240 Speaker 7: even think of really an actual answer. 1686 01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:01,519 Speaker 8: It's like, what do you do if you're the Raiders? 1687 01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 8: Like what do you do? 1688 01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,919 Speaker 7: Do you make personnel moves? Do you sell it the deadline? 1689 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,240 Speaker 7: Do you try to stockpile a bunch of draft picks? 1690 01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:11,719 Speaker 7: Do you make coaching changes? 1691 01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 5: Like? 1692 01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:15,360 Speaker 7: This is so much worse than I think anybody thought 1693 01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:16,760 Speaker 7: that it was going to be. 1694 01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,800 Speaker 8: You thought that they would at least be respectable. 1695 01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:24,519 Speaker 7: There are some really solid people in that building, and 1696 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:26,640 Speaker 7: what are they going to do? 1697 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:28,559 Speaker 1: Well, here's what Pete Carroll hasn't been able to do 1698 01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,000 Speaker 1: for many years, which has provide any advantage as a 1699 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 1: defensive coach, and he's not doing it this year. And 1700 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:37,320 Speaker 1: to be fair, they lost Max Crosby during this game. 1701 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,800 Speaker 1: They lost Adam Butler, who's a starting defensive lineman during 1702 01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,720 Speaker 1: this game. They did not have Joe Kobe Myers available 1703 01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:46,560 Speaker 1: for this game. They did not have Rock Bowers available 1704 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,200 Speaker 1: for this game. No team has needed a bye week 1705 01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:52,760 Speaker 1: more than this Raiders team, and they will get it 1706 01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 1: and hopefully that can solve something. But man, the Chiefs 1707 01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 1: are four and three and Patrick Mahomes is putting a 1708 01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:03,160 Speaker 1: monster fantasy stats again. And if you asked me what 1709 01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 1: team are you most confident if you had to pick 1710 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,280 Speaker 1: one team would be playing in the Super Bowl for 1711 01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,360 Speaker 1: either conference, I mean, I think the average answer would 1712 01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 1: be the Kansas City Chiefs. Chris Jones, by the way, 1713 01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:14,160 Speaker 1: also looked awesome in this game. 1714 01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 7: Certainly we're right back to this Chiefs team as we've 1715 01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:18,960 Speaker 7: always known them. 1716 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 1: And then some I think I think better than the 1717 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,360 Speaker 1: last couple of years. That's absolutely right. All right, you guys, 1718 01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:28,759 Speaker 1: I've both had long days. You were live on TV 1719 01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,960 Speaker 1: for three hours, so long that you haven't even noticed 1720 01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,160 Speaker 1: how there's a button open in your shirt and I 1721 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:39,559 Speaker 1: can see your chest hair right now. Sorry, this happened, 1722 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 1: and Jordan you you were on air I believe at 1723 01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 1: like eight in the morning or something live and so 1724 01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:47,840 Speaker 1: we're going to say goodbye to you too. But it 1725 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,240 Speaker 1: was a thin slice of heaven. And uh, we're going 1726 01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,080 Speaker 1: to go to our next game. This is going to 1727 01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 1: be a thin slice of heaven for me. Patriots and 1728 01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,800 Speaker 1: Titans all keep track of the tally from now on? 1729 01:22:57,880 --> 01:22:58,679 Speaker 8: Do you want the tally? 1730 01:22:58,840 --> 01:22:59,000 Speaker 2: Yes? 1731 01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:02,800 Speaker 7: Before I go okay, we've got allie two Walker one. 1732 01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:04,559 Speaker 8: Okay, he still has time to come back. 1733 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 7: Greg self mentioned one bill one chest one. 1734 01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:12,640 Speaker 2: I mean that ever been mentioned. I don't know that 1735 01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,360 Speaker 2: my chest is ever. You know, we're just gonna the first. 1736 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:16,880 Speaker 8: We're just gonna keep tabs on it, all right. 1737 01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:20,280 Speaker 2: He takes the snap chest hot. He dropped back with time. 1738 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,080 Speaker 2: He loads up a hop in there, buddy, and he 1739 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 2: reads his snaps him. He touched down Padreds. 1740 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:30,480 Speaker 1: What a throw? 1741 01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:36,400 Speaker 5: What a throw? More pointly, it's the catch Kayshawn Booty. 1742 01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:39,679 Speaker 2: It's a developing and the one heck of a weapon 1743 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:40,439 Speaker 2: for Drake May. 1744 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:45,559 Speaker 15: It's fingertips extended deep post left and they take the shot. 1745 01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,280 Speaker 3: Easy kick out of bounds, you're to forty. 1746 01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:50,840 Speaker 5: You get it to the fifty on a run, bag 1747 01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:51,559 Speaker 5: it to Hunter. 1748 01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,679 Speaker 2: Henry and then Josh McDaniels take a shot. 1749 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,800 Speaker 1: That was Scott Zolac acting like a touchdown against the 1750 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,599 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans one them the Super Bowl, and I don't 1751 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,879 Speaker 1: mind it one bit. Patriots win thirty one to thirteen. 1752 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:08,760 Speaker 1: Was also Bob soci on w b Z. After the 1753 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:13,759 Speaker 1: game shook, Drake May was asked about his completion percentage. 1754 01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,960 Speaker 1: Some of these box scores are getting absolutely crazy. He 1755 01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 1: went twenty one for twenty three today for two hundred 1756 01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:21,840 Speaker 1: and twenty two yards, and he said, look, I'm not 1757 01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,559 Speaker 1: trying to be a captain checkdown. I'm not trying to 1758 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 1: be checked down Charlie as I believe what he said, 1759 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,000 Speaker 1: and he's not. That's actually the second touchdown he's had 1760 01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,799 Speaker 1: this year over fifty yar yards. He's the only quarterback 1761 01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 1: in the league to do that. Surprisingly, there have been 1762 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:38,000 Speaker 1: some shots down the field, but he was really accurate 1763 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 1: on a day the Patriots win thirty one to thirteen. 1764 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,040 Speaker 1: It didn't start out that easy, but in the end 1765 01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:44,720 Speaker 1: it looked like a lot of Patriots games this year. 1766 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Drake May is dazzling so much that Scott 1767 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:51,160 Speaker 3: Zolex going horse in the booth because he's just overwhelmed 1768 01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:54,040 Speaker 3: by how well Drake May is playing. He's not checked down, Charlie, 1769 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,360 Speaker 3: but he is the third player under the age of 1770 01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,360 Speaker 3: twenty four with two hundred plus passing yards and a 1771 01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 3: one hundred plus passer rating in six consecutive games. That's 1772 01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:04,960 Speaker 3: how well he is playing right now. And that was 1773 01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,600 Speaker 3: the story of their game in the second half. This 1774 01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,559 Speaker 3: game actually reminded me a lot of an earlier Titans game. 1775 01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,639 Speaker 3: I know the Patriots won, but you'll see the connection here, 1776 01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 3: in which they played pretty well with the Rams for 1777 01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,439 Speaker 3: three quarters and then the Rams overwhelmed them in the fourth, 1778 01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,640 Speaker 3: in part because the Titans made mistakes that opened the 1779 01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:22,800 Speaker 3: door for the Rams to do so. The Patriots did 1780 01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 3: that to them, But it started with that touchdown pass 1781 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 3: to Kaishan Boody, Drake May's latest deep shot to him 1782 01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,240 Speaker 3: for a touchdown. We've seen it happen over the last 1783 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,639 Speaker 3: few weeks. And then it really snowballed in the second 1784 01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,280 Speaker 3: half when they score a touchdown in the midway through 1785 01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,599 Speaker 3: the third quarter, and then just eleven seconds later, kylevon 1786 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:42,080 Speaker 3: Chaisson gets the fumble from cam Ward who had the 1787 01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:43,680 Speaker 3: ball fall out of his hand again as we saw 1788 01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,679 Speaker 3: him do recently. I believe it was against the Raiders 1789 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,120 Speaker 3: and returns that for a touchdown, and before you know it, 1790 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:49,799 Speaker 3: in the blink of an eye, we go from seventeen 1791 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,920 Speaker 3: thirteen Patriots to thirty one to thirteen Patriots. And that 1792 01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,559 Speaker 3: was all she wrote, because that's where the scoring finished, 1793 01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:57,559 Speaker 3: and that's all that really mattered for another win for 1794 01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:58,040 Speaker 3: the Patriots. 1795 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 1: I have not heard this call, but let's give it 1796 01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,439 Speaker 1: a shot. If he got horse off that that first touchdown, 1797 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:04,559 Speaker 1: let's hear what this one's like. 1798 01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 12: Ward under center to receivers to his left, to to 1799 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:09,400 Speaker 12: the right and pluding a tight end. 1800 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,680 Speaker 2: On the wing, single back hands on means. 1801 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:17,599 Speaker 12: Turns, playfakes, rolls in the chase, pitch up the ball, 1802 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:20,559 Speaker 12: come on the play, chase on passer running into the 1803 01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,759 Speaker 12: end zone as pam Ward off, the plays take rolling 1804 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:26,320 Speaker 12: backward in big trouble. 1805 01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 2: The Patriots are selling able to holding pick the football. 1806 01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:43,559 Speaker 1: Scott Zoleek, I'm a I'm a self talker too, but 1807 01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 1: you just had an entire conversation with yourself on the 1808 01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:49,920 Speaker 1: air while your play by play guy was talking, you 1809 01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,000 Speaker 1: killed you killed the touchdown call because you said it 1810 01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,479 Speaker 1: was coming back and then it wasn't coming back, like 1811 01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,200 Speaker 1: we all went through it. Shout out to Caleb on Chason. 1812 01:26:57,240 --> 01:27:00,120 Speaker 1: By the way, four quarterback pressures in this game, so 1813 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 1: I know he got a fortunate there, but he's been 1814 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,920 Speaker 1: good for them this year. How did Kim Ward look 1815 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:10,120 Speaker 1: shook with the new head coach or at least interim 1816 01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:11,200 Speaker 1: head coach Mike McCoy. 1817 01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:13,719 Speaker 3: You know, in the first half, it was pretty encouraging. 1818 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:18,280 Speaker 3: It was an interesting dynamic or dichotomy between these two 1819 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,400 Speaker 3: teams because Mike Rabel shows up with an intent to 1820 01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 3: run the football and win the physical battle, and so 1821 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 3: they hand off to Romandra Stevens in four straight times 1822 01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,200 Speaker 3: to start the game. They handed off to him a 1823 01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,519 Speaker 3: fifth time in the opening drive. There's drive kind of stalls, 1824 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 3: Drake May takes a sack of Hick a field goal, 1825 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,960 Speaker 3: and then war comes out and he's dealing. He's finding 1826 01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,320 Speaker 3: Eye a manner over the middle. He's looking for Jamiri 1827 01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,800 Speaker 3: Dk like he's he's tossing the ball around right. But 1828 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 3: then it all kind of came to a screeching halt 1829 01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:44,160 Speaker 3: in the second half with that type of play, and 1830 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,880 Speaker 3: from there, I mean, once the deficit grows for these Titans, 1831 01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,200 Speaker 3: you just know that they're so limited in terms of 1832 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,640 Speaker 3: talent or just experience that you realize it's going to 1833 01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:53,599 Speaker 3: be a very steep mountain to climb, and that's where 1834 01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,080 Speaker 3: things kind of fell apart. But in the first half 1835 01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:56,680 Speaker 3: I liked what I saw. I mean, he looks a 1836 01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,080 Speaker 3: lot like he has in most games save for a 1837 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:02,400 Speaker 3: couple in which, like the difference in talent was so 1838 01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:04,760 Speaker 3: significant that you knew they just couldn't do anything. It's 1839 01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:07,400 Speaker 3: again just a case of the Titans, even when they 1840 01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,439 Speaker 3: make a coaching change, they're still just kind of playing 1841 01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,960 Speaker 3: with one hand tied behind their back. Their turnaround is 1842 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,400 Speaker 3: not going to happen overnight, no matter who the coach is. 1843 01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:16,200 Speaker 3: I would say they looked a little more organized, but 1844 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,360 Speaker 3: they're still messed up the details. So I think it's 1845 01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,639 Speaker 3: going to be a change or an improvement that happens 1846 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:21,240 Speaker 3: next year. 1847 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:21,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1848 01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:26,000 Speaker 1: Supposedly they were simplifying the offense for cam Ward and look, 1849 01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:27,880 Speaker 1: he did go twenty five for thirty four and was 1850 01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:31,000 Speaker 1: effective for most of the game. But ultimately he's going 1851 01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:35,200 Speaker 1: up against a team where every week, like Drake May's 1852 01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:38,800 Speaker 1: completion percentage over expected is just absolutely outrageous. It was 1853 01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:40,840 Speaker 1: plus twenty four to eight. Like the biggest problem they 1854 01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:43,280 Speaker 1: have is he just takes too many hits. He left 1855 01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:45,800 Speaker 1: the game to get checked for a concussion. That's like 1856 01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:48,960 Speaker 1: the third time this year that that's happened. He rushed 1857 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,120 Speaker 1: for sixty two yards. He's going to need to protect 1858 01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:53,600 Speaker 1: himself better. Jeffrey Simmons, by the way, left with the 1859 01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,840 Speaker 1: hamstring injury. Was out the final three quarters of this game, 1860 01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,960 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of credit has to go 1861 01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,080 Speaker 1: to his teammates picking him up. Ramandre goes for eighty 1862 01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,760 Speaker 1: eight yards on the ground to Mario Douglas has a 1863 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,280 Speaker 1: one handed catch on fourth down, which allows them to 1864 01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:11,800 Speaker 1: score another touch on. Austin Hooper's touchdown was a good throw, 1865 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,360 Speaker 1: but it wasn't even better at catch. So oh yeah, 1866 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 1: people have been killing like their roster construction in terms 1867 01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:19,720 Speaker 1: of their receivers. I tell you what, they have a 1868 01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:23,760 Speaker 1: lot of guys who block, who are pretty versatile and 1869 01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,320 Speaker 1: who have good hands, like they're not separating, but they've 1870 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,000 Speaker 1: been pretty reliable for Drake May. It's led them to 1871 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,000 Speaker 1: a five and two record. I'm actually looking forward next 1872 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:33,599 Speaker 1: week Shook to a tougher matchup against the Browns defense 1873 01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:35,240 Speaker 1: on the other side. You know, it's not as tough, 1874 01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,240 Speaker 1: but that's actually the best defense that they that they 1875 01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:39,479 Speaker 1: faced maybe all season. 1876 01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:41,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I would be curious to see how the 1877 01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:43,599 Speaker 3: Browns approached this because Stefon Diggs has been very good 1878 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 3: over the last few weeks, and he made some really 1879 01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:47,080 Speaker 3: great catches today. Him and Drake May are very much 1880 01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:49,559 Speaker 3: in the same page. May through a great backshoulder fade 1881 01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,960 Speaker 3: to him on the sideline that only probably Diggs is 1882 01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:53,519 Speaker 3: going to make that catch, or you know, he's in 1883 01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 3: that upper tier of receivers with the late hands, like 1884 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,719 Speaker 3: a more inexperienced receivers not making that play. He also 1885 01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:00,439 Speaker 3: like layered in a couple of differ and balls to 1886 01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:02,360 Speaker 3: different guys as well. And so I'm curious to see 1887 01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 3: how the Browns approach it. Do they take Denzel Ward 1888 01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:06,400 Speaker 3: and travel him. Who do they identify as their top 1889 01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:09,400 Speaker 3: receiver because Booty's obviously blossoming this season. It's gonna be 1890 01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:12,760 Speaker 3: a very interesting matchup. That note on Simmons is important though, 1891 01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:14,960 Speaker 3: because that is when this game truly changed. Once Jeff 1892 01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,160 Speaker 3: Simmons came out of the game, the Titans didn't have 1893 01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:18,960 Speaker 3: an answer for whatever the Patriots wanted to do. And 1894 01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,559 Speaker 3: that's really where the scales tipped in New England's favor. 1895 01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the ground game had had its best day for 1896 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:28,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Trell Jennings, of all people, ends up getting 1897 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:31,160 Speaker 1: more touches than Trayvon Henderson. It's dark out here in 1898 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:34,160 Speaker 1: the Trayvon Henderson streets. Mike Rabel said they might have 1899 01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:37,879 Speaker 1: found their five minute back man, and it's not Travion Henderson. 1900 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,559 Speaker 1: Let's go and talk about your Browns before we get 1901 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:41,799 Speaker 1: to Sunday Night football. 1902 01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 2: A good Browns day. 1903 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:47,040 Speaker 15: Finally, j Chander the backfield two from the pistol, throws 1904 01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:50,840 Speaker 15: to the outside, blasted, picked off Campbell down the sideline, 1905 01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:51,919 Speaker 15: piece of the ten. 1906 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:57,080 Speaker 14: The five touchstone. Are they gonna call it a score? 1907 01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:02,600 Speaker 14: It's a touchdown. Campbell did step out of bounds. He 1908 01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:06,080 Speaker 14: tight wrote the sideline, Welcome to Cleveland. 1909 01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:09,760 Speaker 1: So much focus of this game is gonna be on 1910 01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:12,479 Speaker 1: the losers. The Dolphins are one and six, you know 1911 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:16,240 Speaker 1: the Browns are two and five. Will Mike McDaniel survive 1912 01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:16,559 Speaker 1: the week. 1913 01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:17,479 Speaker 2: Who cares about that? 1914 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,639 Speaker 1: We got to hear another Andrew Siciliano call, and yes 1915 01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 1: it came from a big defensive play, but they got 1916 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,719 Speaker 1: it done on offense as well, at least enough Quinnchod 1917 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,880 Speaker 1: Jenkins with three touchdowns on the day, and what the 1918 01:31:31,920 --> 01:31:34,000 Speaker 1: hell shook? Before I give you the floor, let's just 1919 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,800 Speaker 1: get another Siciliano call into the show because there hasn't 1920 01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:38,559 Speaker 1: been enough this year and. 1921 01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:40,560 Speaker 15: They're now all the Miami forty six yard line for 1922 01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:43,760 Speaker 15: the far hash out of an I formation, fannin in 1923 01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:46,920 Speaker 15: front of Judkins Gabriel on first half, We'll give to 1924 01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,120 Speaker 15: Judkins running up the middle, pick hole forty he's in 1925 01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 15: the thirty five, he's in the thirty. It's a put 1926 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:58,920 Speaker 15: race twenty fifteen course sideline TOUCHCD Quinn shot Judkins forty. 1927 01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:00,960 Speaker 2: Six, he's to the house. 1928 01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:06,719 Speaker 1: Are you able to enjoy a blowout Brown's victory? 1929 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:07,479 Speaker 5: Shuck? 1930 01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:10,439 Speaker 3: I enjoy it through my friends who are at the 1931 01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 3: game and text me the Browns are back, and I 1932 01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:14,120 Speaker 3: am able to reply, No, they're not. They're just playing 1933 01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:16,320 Speaker 3: a team that's worse than them and capitalizing on it. 1934 01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:18,160 Speaker 3: It was a good This is the game plan. I 1935 01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,559 Speaker 3: expected like that touchdown run. I expected that to happen 1936 01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:23,000 Speaker 3: against this Dolphins defense which cannot stop the run. We've 1937 01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:25,600 Speaker 3: seen it over and over again. But we have this 1938 01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:31,240 Speaker 3: weird balance between rushes for negative games, like just be 1939 01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 3: like tackle for loss for a loss of three, Like 1940 01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:36,000 Speaker 3: Judkins average precarious three point four for this game because 1941 01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:38,240 Speaker 3: there's like five or six examples where he just gets 1942 01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:40,720 Speaker 3: tackled in the backfield and then it's Judkins runs for 1943 01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:42,200 Speaker 3: four because he had to break two tackles. Then he 1944 01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,439 Speaker 3: rips off a forty six yard touchdown run. But yeah, 1945 01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:46,120 Speaker 3: it all comes back to the defense with this team, 1946 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,600 Speaker 3: and they found an opponent that is so disjointed that 1947 01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,120 Speaker 3: they were able to capitalize. And you know they pick 1948 01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:53,920 Speaker 3: off two or three times, the first one being an 1949 01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,000 Speaker 3: errant throw, the next two just being poor decisions and 1950 01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:59,000 Speaker 3: bad throws. By two a tongue of Baila. The first 1951 01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,120 Speaker 3: one went off of eh Chance hands and was a 1952 01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:03,479 Speaker 3: great play. We saw that highlight as well. But fun 1953 01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:06,400 Speaker 3: little fact for these Browns, Tyson Campbell gets a pick six. 1954 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,760 Speaker 3: Another former general Ray Shawn Jenkins gets an interception in 1955 01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:12,000 Speaker 3: this game as well. The most dominant performance you're gonna 1956 01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,439 Speaker 3: see from the Browns this year and maybe into next year. 1957 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:16,559 Speaker 3: But they needed it. It's always nice for a fan 1958 01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:18,600 Speaker 3: base to get a nice little blowout win that was 1959 01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:21,120 Speaker 3: so lopsided that even their fans started to leave the 1960 01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:22,600 Speaker 3: game early enjoy it. 1961 01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:26,040 Speaker 1: Andrew Berry's back, you know, he was taking a lot 1962 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,160 Speaker 1: of slings and arrows from Joe Flacco. But the guy 1963 01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:31,000 Speaker 1: he traded for, Tyson Campbell. Yeah, with the with the 1964 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:34,640 Speaker 1: pick six and look you win the turnover battle for 1965 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 1: it to nothing. You mentioned to he leaves this game late, 1966 01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:40,600 Speaker 1: it was over at that point. Quinn Ewers, who was 1967 01:33:40,640 --> 01:33:44,240 Speaker 1: the backup today over Zach Wilson comes in three interceptions. 1968 01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:48,280 Speaker 1: You do wonder if that'll be it for Mike McDaniel 1969 01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:50,559 Speaker 1: in Miami. This is him after the game. 1970 01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,599 Speaker 16: A game like this, You know, I think we didn't 1971 01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:58,960 Speaker 16: see coming in terms of our prep, but you absolutely, 1972 01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:01,719 Speaker 16: with one hundred percent certainty, you have to evaluate everything. 1973 01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:05,240 Speaker 5: You know, I think it goes for. 1974 01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:09,479 Speaker 16: You know, no person or no player or no coach 1975 01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:14,960 Speaker 16: is got their hands clean. Uh, And and we have 1976 01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:19,280 Speaker 16: to go back to work and starting with me, do 1977 01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:20,080 Speaker 16: a better job. 1978 01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:26,480 Speaker 1: It's a bummer, like it all comes down to the coach, quarterback, 1979 01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:31,479 Speaker 1: their relationship, their performance, and I think today said at 1980 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,519 Speaker 1: all one hundred yards for two I know is bad weather, 1981 01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:36,160 Speaker 1: but one hundred yards three interceptions. It just feels like 1982 01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:40,600 Speaker 1: a regime ending type of performance. And even on a 1983 01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 1: day where their their defense got some stops along the way, 1984 01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 1: just couldn't happen for them. Enjoy the victory. Hey, why not, 1985 01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:49,679 Speaker 1: shooky and enjoy a Sunday night football game. We're gonna 1986 01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:51,880 Speaker 1: talk about right now after the break. 1987 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:53,519 Speaker 5: Maybe not right now. 1988 01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:05,880 Speaker 13: Christian McCaffrey has carried the load tonight that he stands 1989 01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:07,000 Speaker 13: behind Matt Jones. 1990 01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 2: Now cal yuschik chefs i formation. 1991 01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:14,080 Speaker 13: Jones takes and gives Christian touch it up inside back penalties. 1992 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,960 Speaker 2: White cushing, pushing, pushing, take out. 1993 01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:17,360 Speaker 7: Of man. 1994 01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:21,679 Speaker 3: Up front for the Niners tonight. 1995 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:23,200 Speaker 2: Huh touchdown? 1996 01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:25,200 Speaker 5: Maybe they put it. 1997 01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:27,240 Speaker 2: Away San Francisco. 1998 01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:31,400 Speaker 1: Oh they weren't just pushing, they were pulling. But whatever 1999 01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:33,600 Speaker 1: gets the job done. The forty nine Ers beat the 2000 01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:38,200 Speaker 1: Falcons twenty to ten on Sunday Night football to get 2001 01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:41,960 Speaker 1: to five and two, just poking the balloon and letting 2002 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,800 Speaker 1: a little air out of all that Falcon type coming 2003 01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:47,200 Speaker 1: off their win in primetime last week. 2004 01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:48,880 Speaker 2: They've been living it in primetime. 2005 01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:51,680 Speaker 1: But man, the forty nine ers have been living this 2006 01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:55,200 Speaker 1: life with Christian McCaffrey. It doesn't matter who gets hurt, 2007 01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:58,160 Speaker 1: who's in the lineup, who doesn't. They're giving about thirty 2008 01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:01,800 Speaker 1: touches a game to Christian McCaffrey, and it's working well enough, 2009 01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:05,240 Speaker 1: especially tonight thirty one touches and I love Nick when 2010 01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:09,200 Speaker 1: the highlight fits the theme of the night. He finishes 2011 01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:12,080 Speaker 1: with one hundred and twenty nine yards on the ground 2012 01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:16,120 Speaker 1: on twenty four carries, but Dodd Dobinson also effective on 2013 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:16,799 Speaker 1: the ground. 2014 01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:18,599 Speaker 2: It was a sight for sore eyes. 2015 01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:20,960 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers could run the ball again and 2016 01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:25,160 Speaker 1: ultimately they controlled the game, and especially that late fourth 2017 01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:26,679 Speaker 1: quarter drive to put it away. 2018 01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:29,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like we were two seasons ago with 2019 01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:31,280 Speaker 3: them where they run the football, maybe four or five 2020 01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:34,040 Speaker 3: seasons ago the way they executed. But really I think 2021 01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:37,639 Speaker 3: it was perfectly fitting that the team that they played, 2022 01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 3: they essentially took their game plan from their most recent 2023 01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:44,040 Speaker 3: primetime victory. Only six days ago, the Falcons were rolling 2024 01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,720 Speaker 3: with Beijon to a victory and they said, we're doing 2025 01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:49,439 Speaker 3: the same thing with Christian McCaffrey from basically the start, 2026 01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:52,519 Speaker 3: but really right before halftime, riding all the way into 2027 01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,200 Speaker 3: the finishing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Look, when when 2028 01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:58,759 Speaker 3: you're down, you know your top receiver and Ricky piersaw 2029 01:36:58,760 --> 01:37:01,040 Speaker 3: you is still enough, Brandon, You're playing with Mac Jones 2030 01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:03,280 Speaker 3: as a backup quarterback who's been battling his own slew 2031 01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:05,640 Speaker 3: of injuries throughout this season. Who do you turn to 2032 01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:08,760 Speaker 3: your best player and you ride him to victory? And 2033 01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:09,360 Speaker 3: that's what they did. 2034 01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:16,759 Speaker 1: It's crazy how complete Christian McCaffrey is as a player 2035 01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,600 Speaker 1: and you lack the explosion right now. And that's what 2036 01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:23,960 Speaker 1: maybe is different from this, you know, iteration of the 2037 01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:26,360 Speaker 1: forty nine ers running attack compared to previous years. His 2038 01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:29,800 Speaker 1: long run for the day was fifteen, but he had 2039 01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:34,400 Speaker 1: thirty one touches that includes seven catches for seventy two yards, 2040 01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,320 Speaker 1: and so he was the leading receiver by far today. 2041 01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:40,000 Speaker 1: And I started wondering, like if you just took his 2042 01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:42,200 Speaker 1: forget all of his rushing numbers this year, and we 2043 01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:45,000 Speaker 1: know on a personnap basis, they haven't been great. Forget 2044 01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:48,080 Speaker 1: the rushing just looking at his receiving numbers, he's third 2045 01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:50,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL with fifty three receptions. 2046 01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:52,120 Speaker 2: He's now sixth in the. 2047 01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:56,360 Speaker 1: NFL for five hundred and sixteen receiving yards, so you know, 2048 01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:59,240 Speaker 1: more than all the receivers except for five. And then 2049 01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:02,200 Speaker 1: he's first by a long shot in scrimmage yards with 2050 01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,920 Speaker 1: nine hundred and eighty one. We're only seven weeks into 2051 01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,760 Speaker 1: the season and he's almost at a thousand scrimmage yards. 2052 01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:13,479 Speaker 1: And okay, he's not making as many people miss, although 2053 01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 1: he does make people miss. But man is he tough. 2054 01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:22,120 Speaker 1: He's running through people's faces tonight, and he's smart if 2055 01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:26,080 Speaker 1: you get him one on one against a linebacker in coverage. 2056 01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,120 Speaker 1: So much of their offense is about setting him up 2057 01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,000 Speaker 1: to do that. He knows exactly where to go. He 2058 01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:32,800 Speaker 1: knows how to set up defenders. He is not John 2059 01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:36,519 Speaker 1: Robinson right now, but he didn't need to be. And tonight, 2060 01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:39,120 Speaker 1: on a night where Robinson was pretty quiet against a 2061 01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:42,720 Speaker 1: really frisky forty nine Ers defense, he was awesome. Give 2062 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,919 Speaker 1: me your thoughts on watching this forty nine Ers defense 2063 01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,320 Speaker 1: and what they did to hold down the Falcons to 2064 01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:49,160 Speaker 1: only ten points. 2065 01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,760 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, first off, what an achievement to accomplish 2066 01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:55,320 Speaker 3: this without Fred Warner, who you lost to an injury 2067 01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:58,080 Speaker 3: last week. I mean that that's a massive missing piece 2068 01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:00,479 Speaker 3: that you think would immediately create a man match in 2069 01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,160 Speaker 3: favor of the Falcons when you incorporate Bejon out of 2070 01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,360 Speaker 3: the backfield. Jon didn't really make all that much of 2071 01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:07,960 Speaker 3: a difference tonight. They found ways to patch that whole, 2072 01:39:08,840 --> 01:39:11,320 Speaker 3: that biggest hole, the biggest void on their defense up 2073 01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:13,160 Speaker 3: and I think a big part of it was getting 2074 01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:15,960 Speaker 3: Kevin Gibbons back and this pass rushing unit up front. 2075 01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:18,720 Speaker 3: You saw Bryce Huff making a difference all the way 2076 01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:20,800 Speaker 3: to the end, you know, getting after Michael Pennix, en 2077 01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:22,920 Speaker 3: forcing an incomplete pass that for a moment was believed 2078 01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:25,559 Speaker 3: to be a fumble. This defense, I mean, Robert Sala 2079 01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,439 Speaker 3: has just done such a great job of making the 2080 01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:29,760 Speaker 3: most out of whatever spare parts he has left, and 2081 01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:31,559 Speaker 3: that's how you hold the Falcons to ten points. 2082 01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:33,200 Speaker 1: I just love that You're like it was big that 2083 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,920 Speaker 1: they got Kevin Gibbons back, and you're right, like they 2084 01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:41,120 Speaker 1: just need poddies. But okay, let's look at who made 2085 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:44,720 Speaker 1: the biggest plays of the night. Chase Lucas, a slot cornerback, 2086 01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:48,160 Speaker 1: was not overly familiar with who was filling in for 2087 01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:51,559 Speaker 1: Upton Stout the rookie slot, makes a couple huge plays late. 2088 01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 1: He's actually the highest ranked player according to PFF in 2089 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:58,160 Speaker 1: this game. Bryce Huff, what a trade that is turning 2090 01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:02,120 Speaker 1: out to be two sacks, two quarterback hits. Another Hurry 2091 01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:05,880 Speaker 1: had a force fumble late that they ended up calling 2092 01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:10,479 Speaker 1: back against Pennex because there was a penalty down the field, 2093 01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:14,320 Speaker 1: but he was just everywhere. And then Tatum Bethune is 2094 01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:17,880 Speaker 1: in there at middle linebacker for Fred Warner and he 2095 01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:21,040 Speaker 1: made a number of big plays in the night, and 2096 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:24,280 Speaker 1: one of them is a pressure late in the first half, 2097 01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:28,799 Speaker 1: and I thought this was typical of the pressure numbers overall. 2098 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:29,559 Speaker 2: Weren't crazy. 2099 01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:31,920 Speaker 1: They definitely ticked up late in the game, but they 2100 01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:34,240 Speaker 1: were well timed on key downs and I think that's 2101 01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:36,519 Speaker 1: been a forty nine or staple when Demico Ryans was 2102 01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:39,360 Speaker 1: the DC. Now when Robert sala is the DC again, 2103 01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:41,840 Speaker 1: it's like they really know when to hit on big 2104 01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:44,920 Speaker 1: downs and they made it absolutely happen tonight. But I'm 2105 01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:47,120 Speaker 1: thinking of that play to end the first half and 2106 01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 1: they make Pennix throw an intentional grounding with ten seconds 2107 01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,559 Speaker 1: to go, and eventually that runs the clock out because 2108 01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:56,200 Speaker 1: they have to do a ten second runoff and they 2109 01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:57,720 Speaker 1: don't get three at the end of the half. And 2110 01:40:57,840 --> 01:40:59,920 Speaker 1: it was typical for me for a night where like 2111 01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:04,920 Speaker 1: Pennix wasn't awful, but he wasn't composed throwing to all 2112 01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:07,759 Speaker 1: parts of the field in key spots when under pressure. 2113 01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,759 Speaker 3: No, no, he missed some throws whether he was pressured 2114 01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:13,840 Speaker 3: or unpressured, and especially when things got desperate late in 2115 01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 3: this game, of course. But I think that's a product 2116 01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:17,840 Speaker 3: again of the forty nine ers defense and really like 2117 01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:20,080 Speaker 3: what key this win for them was how they delivered 2118 01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:23,120 Speaker 3: in big moments. The third down that they complete a 2119 01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:25,519 Speaker 3: pass that sets up the McCaffrey touchdown. That's a third 2120 01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:28,439 Speaker 3: and long that followed a really really nice play by 2121 01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:31,879 Speaker 3: a defensive tackle for the Falcons to cut down McCaffrey 2122 01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:34,559 Speaker 3: in the backfield. Former Ohio State Bucky Zach Harrison made 2123 01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:37,680 Speaker 3: a fantastic play, and yet they still overcome that with 2124 01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:43,800 Speaker 3: the big plays on the key down that's me mccarkyl. 2125 01:41:44,920 --> 01:41:48,000 Speaker 1: Look, yet his one interception was not on him tonight. 2126 01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:49,559 Speaker 1: They didn't ask him to do too much one hundred 2127 01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:51,040 Speaker 1: and fifty two yards, but just a couple of key 2128 01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:53,880 Speaker 1: third downs like they were mostly field goal drives, but 2129 01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:56,280 Speaker 1: a couple of key third downs, one to Jennings, one 2130 01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:58,040 Speaker 1: to Burn and then you mentioned the third and long 2131 01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:01,280 Speaker 1: to McCaffrey. And he's been the perfect level of backup 2132 01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:05,400 Speaker 1: because I don't think anyone who really knows ball thinks 2133 01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:08,000 Speaker 1: he's playing at a higher level than Brock Purty plays. 2134 01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:08,879 Speaker 2: On average. 2135 01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:12,639 Speaker 1: He's playing good enough ball to help them win games, 2136 01:42:13,320 --> 01:42:15,440 Speaker 1: but not good enough to make a real controversy. 2137 01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:16,040 Speaker 2: That's perfect. 2138 01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:19,320 Speaker 1: They're five and two and they've really managed this part 2139 01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,000 Speaker 1: of the schedule and they're not going to get their 2140 01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:22,840 Speaker 1: defensive players back, but they will get pierce All back, 2141 01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:26,120 Speaker 1: they'll get Purty back, hopefully soon. And a disappointing game 2142 01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:30,040 Speaker 1: for the Falcons to fall to three and three. These 2143 01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,360 Speaker 1: two teams, they're just they're stuck in the middle of 2144 01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:34,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. But the forty nine ers are right there 2145 01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:38,599 Speaker 1: atop the NFC West, now tied with the Rams, who 2146 01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:44,679 Speaker 1: started this long Sunday of football in London about fourteen 2147 01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:45,280 Speaker 1: hours ago. 2148 01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:48,320 Speaker 2: So I know you've been driving all over the state. 2149 01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:48,800 Speaker 5: Nick. 2150 01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:54,360 Speaker 1: Congratulations to your grandparents renewing their vows this morning, and 2151 01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,160 Speaker 1: congratulations to you being such a good grandson that you 2152 01:42:57,640 --> 01:42:59,599 Speaker 1: drove all the way across the state and then back 2153 01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:03,800 Speaker 1: into I'm for kickoff because you're a great NFL Daily correspondent. 2154 01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:04,479 Speaker 2: Appreciate you, man. 2155 01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:06,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll take that.

That's really cool and really cool that they 2159 01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,000 Speaker 1: could do that and that you could be there for 2160 01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:18,680 Speaker 1: that sixty five years. If we can only hope, all right, 2161 01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:23,480 Speaker 1: who knows, maybe we'll be celebrating the sixty five anniversary 2162 01:43:24,200 --> 01:43:25,519 Speaker 1: of NFL Daily someday. 2163 01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:28,200 Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be a new hosts by then. 2164 01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:30,840 Speaker 5: Doing the math. Yeah, that'll be a Walker host. 2165 01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:33,720 Speaker 2: We'll be back Monday night.
