00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,959

00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 4: We are in the lead.

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: My teams don't ever give me heart attacks because they're

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: not good enough, like a SU and Northwestern are just

30
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 3: not relevant enough. Although Asus three I know now, yeah,

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 3: he he made the extra point.

32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Everything's okay. This is a full different experience, LSU. Yeah,

33
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: you're about to marry in Also, by the way, congratulations.

34
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 4: I wasn't allowed to talk about this two weeks ago.

35
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: Literally moments before we went live, I would say maybe

36
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: two three minutes. Carmen flashes her engagement ring at me

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: and was like, hey, by the way, don't say anything

38
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: on air. I was like, do you know who I am?

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: Do you know what you're asking of me in this moment?

40
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: But congratulations?

41
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:49,600

75
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: it goes down. You're probably gonna hear US react to

76
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: LSU South Carolina right now if something happens in this

77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: first segment, because we've got left and oh there, it

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: looks like South Carolina is about to get the first sound.

79
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: No they didn't.

80
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, we're all good. We're all good. Deep Brad,

81
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: I don't trust them. Everybody they do not trust them. Okay, Well,

82
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: let's start with a fun segment that we have today.

83
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: We're calling true or false? Are these Week one narratives?

84
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: True or false? Overreaction? Okay, Like, I'm looking at you

85
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: and the games happening behind me, and I'm seeing reactions.

86
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: Quarterback, I'm not.

87
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: Looking to keep me outdated too, Keep the audience, keep me,

88
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: keep everybody updated.

89
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: Yes, South Carolina quarterback. All right, we're down.

90
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: Good, Okay, So we're going to take a look back

91
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: at Week one of NFL football. The narratives. Now, remember

92
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: a lot of these starters didn't see playing time during preseason,

93
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: so Week one is really the first look that you're

94
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: getting at a lot of these starters, a lot of

95
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: these teams. It's yeah, you can't really base the season

96
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: and what a team looks like on week one, So

97
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: I'm down for some overreactions. We're going to run through

98
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: some statements and Carmen and I will each share whether

99
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: we think it's true or false overreaction. Let's start in

100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: New York. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets are in trouble.

101
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say yes they are now. There's no denying

102
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers' arm and throw is still so beautiful

103
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: and fun to watch. But he is not mobile and

104
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: and that's gonna be a big problem. He is forty

105
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: years old who's coming off the biggest injury of his career,

106
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: and this is really his first game time action since

107
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: he snapped his achilles last year.

108
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 4: Four snaps into the game, and.

109
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: This was also the first look we saw Aaron Rodgers

110
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: and the Jets like this, this.

111
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: Was it now.

112
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: Rogers and Alan Lazard had some good moments. He also

113
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: had some major eye rolls, like very publicly the camera

114
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: zooming in on him, but like you should know, the

115
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: camera's going to be zooming in on you every chance

116
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: they get. It's it doesn't feel like that fun chemistry

117
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: is there. They also like don't have a strong run game.

118
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Breeze Hal only had fifty four rushing yards and a touchdown,

119
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: also a fumble and lost it. And this comes when

120
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 2: you're playing the forty nine ers and they're back up

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: to Christian McCaffrey. Jordan Mason had one hundred and forty

122
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: seven rushing yards and a touchdown, like literally went off

123
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: and then and again. On top of it all, we

124
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: know that Aaron Rodgers and Robert Sala are not getting along.

125
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: Like it's obvious to the public. We've heard insider information

126
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: on it. You can say everything's fine and we're gonna

127
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: be fine, but like you can also see with your eyeballs, yeah,

128
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: we can read and you can read chemistry. You know,

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: if we can see, you're not great. And honestly, I'll

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: say it again, I think Aaron missing mandatory mini camp

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: was a bigger deal than they're leading on to. You

132
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: know what, you are a leader, not leading by example,

133
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: and they just got hit like it just was not

134
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: it did not feel like it was ever going to

135
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: do if.

136
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 3: For no other reason than Robert Sala didn't cover for

137
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. No, not at all. For Mantory Mini Caamp.

138
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: It's one thing to have him miss it, but then

139
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 3: your head coach kind of sells you out he did.

140
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: The vibes are bad. They're bad not to mention in

141
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: this game. If you'll recall they pulled Aaron Rodgers with

142
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: over four minutes to go. In this game, he missed

143
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: twenty five percent of the team's offensive snaps. I get it,

144
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: he's coming off an injury. You're not gonna win that game.

145
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: You want to take him out, all right? If you

146
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: do that, then you should take Garrett Wilson and Breeze

147
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: Hall out. They're probably Tyron Smith too, because he's old

148
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: and easier left tackle. But if you're talking about the

149
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: fact that they didn't have snaps in the preseason together

150
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: because Aaron Rodgers didn't play, they didn't have snaps last

151
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: year together, Like all of these things that are happening

152
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: are solvable by more reps. How do you get more reps?

153
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: Stay on the field, even if you're not gonna win

154
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: that game. It should go a long way for chemistry.

155
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: Because you saw Garrett Wilson, Rogers only hit Garrett Wilson

156
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: on six of eleven targets. That should improve and that

157
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: will improve again with reps. But you're just condemning yourself

158
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: to a slow start at this point because Rogers hasn't played,

159
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: and he is very particular about how you should run

160
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: certain routes. If you're his receivers, he has different options.

161
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: We know about the hand signals, all that kind of stuff.

162
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: That stuff takes getting used to as receivers, and they

163
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: are not used to him.

164
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: Which is why you see the eye roll. It's like, God,

165
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: why aren't you there?

166
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: Not only not only is it like his receivers. Though,

167
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: What really concerns me right now is that in Week one,

168
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: the Jets offensive line had the twenty eighth ranked pass

169
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: blocking grade according to PFF. I hate that he is

170
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: forty years old coming off an Achilles injury. You can't

171
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: pass block for him. He did scramble around a little

172
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: bit because he had to.

173
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 4: That made me nervous.

174
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: There's so many like things wrong on so many different

175
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: levels for the Jets right now. I'm not saying they

176
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: can't pull it together, but I was also not in

177
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: the camp this offseason that the Jets were just magically

178
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: going to be good because they're talented and they have

179
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers coming off of an injury like that.

180
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: You just never know, no, I said, I said day

181
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: one once preseason started, everyone's over hyping the Jets.

182
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 4: I don't know what kool aid you're drinking.

183
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: But it's it's not the good stuff, because like, what

184
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: has he proven to you? Nothing so far, and what

185
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: has been shown to us is a lack of chemistry

186
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: between the head coach and the starting quarterback and then

187
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: not showing up to miny cab not like there's so

188
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: many red flags.

189
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: There were so many red flags. I think they're in trouble.

190
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: Oh god, ok, he missed it. Wait did they take

191
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: a time out?

192
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: I don't know. Yo, LSH took a time out. Oh

193
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: and he missed it?

194
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: They ice said, I saw anybody.

195
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: He kicked it. It was going for talkin is going

196
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: for a forty nine yard field goal. There's five seconds

197
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: left on the clock. LSU just took a time out,

198
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: but he kicked it and he missed it. Hopefully misses

199
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 3: it again.

200
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: Guys, I don't know. Well, I'm not well that that

201
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: was it that well?

202
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, when I it goes wrong, when I seen

203
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: the kicker goes wrong.

204
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 4: It goes so wrong, like take the wind.

205
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: Almost feels like you have to wait for icing the

206
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: kicker to go right.

207
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 4: More often than not, it just never works. I don't know. Okay,

208
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 4: we go to be fair.

209
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 3: I always say, like, if you, if you, if the

210
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: kicker kicks, like and he's going to miss the next one,

211
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 3: But I don't know what happens when he misses the

212
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: first one.

213
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: First one.

214
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: Okay, let's see forty nine after attempt. Yeah, now he's

215
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 2: going to make it. I just like, now it feels

216
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: like he's going to make it. He's like, well you

217
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: already I did.

218
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 4: How it goes?

219
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: Put that into the universe.

220
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: It's it kind of feels in evident.

221
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: I hope that you guys.

222
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 2: Thirty six, LSU thirty three South Carolina going for the

223
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: forty nine?

224
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: Do you miss again?

225
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 7: No?

226
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 8: Good?

227
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: LSU Wins going Why.

228
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: This life so much? I mean, I love this life.

229
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 9: Oh my god, congrats on beating a USC.

230
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: A USC, that's true. They did not win when I

231
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: was in Vegas. I have now been to I've been

232
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: to two games live they've lost both games. So the

233
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 3: term I don't know.

234
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

235
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 4: Don't put that on yourself.

236
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I was. They were away games. I

237
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: haven't been to one in Baton, y As yet.

238
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: Okay, anyway, that would be wild, guys.

239
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: Fuck it LSU over South Carolina. There was six thirty three.

240
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: Congratulations all U LSU fans, especially Corman and Dave. Here

241
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: now we can breathe, Let's move to our next tru

242
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: or falls and talk about the team that the Jets

243
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: played on Monday. The forty nine Ers will be the

244
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: most dominant team this season. And I'm gonna say that's

245
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: not an overreaction. I will say this could very well

246
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: here be true because they were not firing on all

247
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: cylinders and they still absolutely crushed the Jets. Now, some

248
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: of their top guys definitely not locked in yet. Brandon

249
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: Aiyuk stilled getting in game shape, barely did anything. Christian

250
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: McCaffrey was out back up dominated for him like that.

251
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: Jordan Mason was like the story of this game. Christian

252
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: McCaffrey's backup. When one hundred and forty seven yards and

253
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: a touchdown, he can handle the load. And I think

254
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: McCaffrey's officially ruled out for tomorrow again against the Vikings,

255
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: so he might go on the IL and this might

256
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: be a little worse than we all expected. Deebo Samuels

257
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: was like good, but again like not his top peak

258
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: went fifty four receiving yards, twenty three ushing yards and

259
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: a rushing touchdown. Brock Perty looks solid, but again not

260
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: top of his game. So with all that being said,

261
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: imagine how dangerous this team is going to be once

262
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: everybody is healthy and once everybody is locked in and

263
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: they're back to one hundred percent. This is going to

264
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: be a very dangerous, dominant forty nine ers team.

265
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you already have two teams that look dominant

266
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: already in the NFC, and that's the Eagles and the Lions.

267
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: That's where I'm going for a where I don't know that.

268
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: I think the Niners were already even at full strength,

269
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: are gonna go toe to toe with those guys. And

270
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: now you're not, especially if Christan McCarey goes on IR,

271
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a slow start to the season. So

272
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can still be dominant. And

273
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: here's the thing. Jordan Mason was an unknown then he

274
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: had the most carries of any running back under Kyle

275
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: Shanahan in that game. Kyle Shanahan likes to rotate running backs.

276
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: He usually throws out multiple running backs onto the field,

277
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 3: and that was still the case of Ale used check

278
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: as with their full back. Yeah, but now Jordan Mason

279
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: is no longer an unknown and Brian Flores in that

280
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: Minnesota defense are absolutely going to go after him. And

281
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: he does not have the experience to read those running

282
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: lanes that Brian Flores is going to try to shut

283
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 3: down in that defense.

284
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 9: Did they they just this morning?

285
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: This morning? Okay, I was flying so didn't see it.

286
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, so they are going to have a slow

287
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: start to this season, while the Lions. While the Eagles

288
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 3: at least I'm not trying to glean too much off

289
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: of the Brazil game because the playing service was terrible.

290
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: But with the addition of Saquon Barkley Kellen Moore at

291
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator, I just think the Eagles are going to

292
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: be fine now. And then you also have the Lions. Yeah,

293
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: so I can't say in good faith that the Niners

294
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: are going.

295
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: To be the game with the Rams like ot win there,

296
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't a blowout, but.

297
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: They weren't firing on all cylinders either.

298
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: So, but you also have like their top guys, like

299
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: are you Deebo Samuels, Like once they get again, like

300
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: we sit off the top of the segment here like

301
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: Week one lies and like even like these top teams

302
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 2: that aren't completely locked in and have top tier talent,

303
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: imagine what it's going to be. And if and when

304
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: they get Christian McCaffrey, what maybe it's midway through the season,

305
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: a couple months in when everyone's beat up, and now

306
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: you're going to get fresh legs. It might take him

307
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: a couple weeks to get obviously in game shape again,

308
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: but now you're getting like the best of the best,

309
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: added Boo staffway through the season.

310
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: I still put the Lions up there with them, with

311
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson at offensive coordinator, with the variety of weapons

312
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: that they have in Detroit, especially if Jamison Williams.

313
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: Continue variety of weapons with them.

314
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say the right up there with them.

315
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: But I do I don't think that the Niners are

316
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: going to run away with it. I just think that

317
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: especially if if Jamison Williams really is what we saw

318
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 3: from him in the in the Week one and he

319
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 3: can be that deep threat this Lion's offense is going

320
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: to be really really fun and really really hard to beat.

321
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, they're they're like top fave for a

322
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: lot of people. But let's get to one more true

323
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: or false here. The Bengals are actually going to be

324
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: bad this year. Now, I don't think Burrow can be

325
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: bad if he's healthy, But the question is is he

326
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: one hundred percent healthy because he had that risk surgery.

327
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: We saw him kind of a couple viral videos on

328
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: Sunday of him shaking it out, holding his wrist in

329
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: interesting ways. After the game, he did say it's absolutely

330
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: not affecting how he's throwing. But again, you can say

331
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: whatever you want, but when you see awkwardness, like we're

332
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: going to talk to their reporter Kelsey Conway in hour

333
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: two and hopefully get yeah and get a little more

334
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: insight on this. But again, like I would be a

335
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: little worried, like you lost to the Patriots. I think

336
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 2: everybody thought this was going to be a gimme to

337
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: the Bengals week one and now they're out, like absolutely

338
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: out overall, Like they didn't look good. But again that's

339
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: not anything new because the Bengals start slow. This is

340
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: the fifth time under Zach Taylor that they've started that

341
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: they might. If they lose tomorrow would be the fifth

342
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: time that they've gone oh and two to start the season. Yeah,

343
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: so they don't. They don't really do well in week

344
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: That's normal. They're a slow start kind of team. But like,

345
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: they won't have T Higgins again, he's doubtful. Jamar Chase

346
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: could be better. You hope he's going to be better.

347
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: Now you're going into Arrowhead facing the defending champs. But

348
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: Burrow is one of the few quarterbacks who can claim

349
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: that he has a good record against Mahomes. He's three

350
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: and one, So yeah, this is gonna this is interesting

351
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: on Burrow.

352
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: I'm not making any judgments about the Bengals until I

353
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: see them against the Chiefs because Joe Burgh has a

354
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: stupid passer rating against them last two games one hundred

355
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: and thirty eight point eight. Passer rating one hundred and

356
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: fifty eight point three is perfect, by the way, guys

357
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 3: over seven hundred yards, six touchdowns, zero interceptions in two

358
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: games against them. They're missing T Higgins, Like you said, Yeah,

359
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 3: that's going to be a big factor because then you

360
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: can key in on Jamar Chase that much more. But

361
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: the Bengals O line is much improved. They allowed six

362
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: pressures according to PFF last week that was the tied

363
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 3: for the fifth best in the league. But then you

364
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: also on the other side of this have Chris Jones

365
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: for the Kansas Chiefs, who alone had six pressures. Oh

366
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: yeah last week led the league for that. The Bengals

367
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: defense also has to step up for its offense. Chiefs

368
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: had seventeen plays gaining ten or more yards in Week one.

369
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: Rashi Rice led the league and catches over fifteen yards,

370
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 3: So they are an explosive offense. Now, given the fact

371
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: that they added Xavier Worthy, Rashi Rice is not suspended

372
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: or anything like that. He's in there, this is going

373
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 3: to be a formidable, yeah, offense to go against. So

374
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: this defense, this Bengals defense, needs to help Joey out.

375
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: But Joey b does well, something turns on in him.

376
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: Now it's going to be a matter of I think

377
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a push pull of all right. Yeah,

378
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 3: the Bengals have historically started slower. It takes them a

379
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: little while to get going. Now you match that up

380
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: against having to go against the Chiefs in Week two,

381
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: which you historically do well against Yeah, what's gonna win out? Yeah,

382
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: but I'm not going to make any judgments about if

383
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: we should actually be worried about the Bengals until this

384
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: next game.

385
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and really is Burrow healthy? Is his risk not

386
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: a problem like he says it is. We're gonna take

387
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: a quick break here, but when we come back, should

388
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: Tua retire? You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

436
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like that's all Southern rap is. Yeah,

437
00:20:59,359 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: Like I didn't.

438
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 4: I Like I think I just associated.

439
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: Lil Wayne with LA because he lives here and he's

440
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: on like on the Speak see him around everywhere. But

441
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: then when he we're going to talk about this in

442
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: a bit, but when he came out and said how

443
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: broken he was and he didn't get asked about the

444
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: time show and that they asked Ken instead Kendrick Lamar

445
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: instead of him in his home town, and like I

446
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: watched I watched his like crying video, like not crying videos,

447
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: but like how heartbroken and broken he was.

448
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: I have a little Wayne tattoo on me? Wait what yeah?

449
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 4: What do you mean?

450
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,720

Speaker 2: should retire?

591
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 6: My initial reaction was I felt like, like, I don't

592
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 6: you know, I know to a little bit. I've interviewed

Speaker 6: it a couple of times and I spoke to it,

594
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 6: but I I just was heartbroken because this is a

595
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 6: person who just wants to play football. It's like he

596
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 6: very I don't, and that's simple and a bad way.

597
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 6: He's simple in a good way. He just loves football.

598
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 6: He just wants to be out there. He's done everything

599
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 6: he can to, like you know, grow and learn, and

600
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 6: he spent a lot. I mean it's just sad, like

601
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 6: when someone has has it, Like there's no other word.

602
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 6: I felt sick to my stomach and sad all at

603
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 6: the same time. Like that's I don't I don't know

604
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 6: if you can have any other reaction watching That's true.

605
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 6: I don't know what I think he should do. You know,

606
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 6: it's his decision. Obviously. I personally like it feels like

607
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 6: the answer is for him not to. But I'm not him.

608
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 6: I can't make decisions for him, you know. I like

609
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,720

Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, I know, yeah, I know.

625
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: Well the other side of the coin in that game,

626
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 3: I mean, everything was overshadowed by it too as an

627
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: injury and as it should have been. But we got

628
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: to see the Bills now in the second week, and

629
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: it's sure looking like they're gonna be just fine. I

630
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 3: know that a season ago you were very familiar with

631
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 3: this team, spending preseason with them, saying what have you

632
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: seen from them? And do we think this is a

633
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: real like Josh Allen, I don't know how you argue

634
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: he's not a top three quarterback when he's elevating this

635
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: team around him.

636
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 6: I mean, the answer to me is they're over Josh

637
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 6: himself is overcoming a lot of flaws. There's just no

638
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 6: way you can get around it. Their defense has so

639
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 6: many injuries, and I mean you start Terrelle Bernardi even

640
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 6: go out, Yes, they're on guys who are like practice squads.

641
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 6: You know, they were on their practice squad like five

642
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 6: minutes ago already. So as much as I want to say,

643
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 6: like you know, they're Okay, they're able to overcome. So

644
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 6: I'm concerned that, you know, given it, given a game

645
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 6: where let's say, you know, they're so reliant on Josh

646
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 6: being superman, Like imagine if there's a game where he

647
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 6: has just one turnover, it just makes it so much

648
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 6: harder to win. So I'm a little concerned about their

649
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 6: long term viability. But you know, they are for real, Like,

650
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 6: if they can get through some of these injuries, they're

651
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 6: definitely a team that's for real. And you know, overcoming

652
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 6: the defensive pieces is a lot, and it's a lot

653
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 6: to ask you Josh Allen, so he's certainly proving who

654
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 6: he is.

655
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: All right, let's stay in New York, but talk about

656
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, because this was really the

657
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: first look that we got of Rogers with the Jets

658
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: and didn't look great.

659
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 4: Do you think they're in trouble this season?

660
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 6: If they can't get their run defense sticks, they're in trouble.

661
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 6: I am not worried about their offense. I'm not worried

662
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 6: about you know, there's a lot of like the stats

663
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 6: show like, oh, like he only did this, he threw

664
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 6: to this side only and blah blah, blah, I only

665
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 6: threw to three different receivers, YadA, YadA. Yeah, Okay, all

666
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 6: of that stuff is finding good. The problem is is

667
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 6: when you have the ball for twenty one minutes or

668
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 6: very very low possession, that you just give the defense

669
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 6: so many more cluises to what you're going to do

670
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 6: and it just kind of all implodes. So I'm more worried.

671
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 6: I only am worried about their run defense. If they

672
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 6: can shore up their run defense, then this is going

673
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 6: to be a very good team with like top tier

674
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 6: aspirations that we're getting to being we really well recognized.

675
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 6: But at the same time, if they can't get their

676
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 6: run defense figured out, then it's going to be a problem.

677
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. There was something that I noticed in the first

678
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: week of the season that's kind of carrying over and

679
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: send you know how much I love the trenches and

680
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: I know that you are. You do too. There's been

681
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: more rotation of offensive linemen, and I don't know if

682
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: that's a symptom of maybe a shortened preseason and not

683
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: having as many games and not having as long to

684
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 3: figure out that unit. I don't know if you notice

685
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: that or what your take would be on it, but

686
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: that's something I noticed, and it's something I don't like.

687
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that much.

688
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 6: I do things like preseason has part to do it,

689
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 6: But I also think the college has a lot to

690
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 6: do with it, because you know, we're watching these college

691
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 6: games today. Watch the trenches. They don't look the same

692
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 6: as like, you know what an NFL style offensive line

693
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 6: looked like. So these people with new different trenches, new

694
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 6: different players, younger players that don't have the same sort

695
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 6: of you know, the pulling guards are. They don't do

696
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 6: that in college very often, right, Like, it's rare to

697
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 6: see that. So I think a lot of it also

698
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 6: has to do with in the beginning of the season,

699
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 6: an adjustment to a different style of play that these

700
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 6: kids aren't used to playing necessarily in college. They're rotating

701
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 6: them in, they're trying to figure out who can.

702
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 3: Do what where.

703
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 6: There's really no way to see if a person has

704
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 6: picked up the playbook on the offensive line in practice

705
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 6: the same way as you can during a game.

706
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: That's a good point, all right, Let's move to the

707
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: big news that hit last Sunday. Dak got his bag

708
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: his contract extension like hours before his first game last week.

709
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 2: Now the highest paid player making sixty million a year,

710
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: the first sixty million dollars a year player. Was this

711
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 2: the right move by the Cowboys? And were you shocked

712
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: at all how this all went down?

713
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 6: I was shocked to happen on a Sunday before kickoff,

714
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 6: like I see it. Timing was like a little shocking.

715
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 6: But then you're like, oh, it's Jerry Jones. So also no,

716
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 6: but like you know, you're like wow, like that is

717
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 6: really like dominating the news cycle right now when when

718
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 6: you're having to face the Browns defense, which by the way,

719
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 6: is still a very good defense even though they lost

720
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 6: that game. But ultimately, I don't know if you can

721
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 6: get away from it. It's just the inflation rate of

722
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 6: the quarterback position in terms of salary. You know, it's

723
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 6: not to say in fairness, you would have to really

724
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 6: look at what the money number actually ends up being,

725
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 6: because those numbers are all kind of fake, right, Those

726
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 6: numbers that they report are a function of the hide whatever.

727
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 6: So the guarantee is the number you need to look at.

728
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 6: And I have not seen those yet because they're not

729
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 6: really made publicly available. So the truth is is, I'm

730
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 6: not surprised at all. The timing was a little whatever.

731
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 6: It was very dramatic, but I'm not surprised that it happened.

732
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 6: We knew something was going to happen. I mean, there's

733
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 6: no way that Jerry Jones was gonna let deck Press

734
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 6: got end up in Los Angeles in any way, shape

735
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 6: or form.

736
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: Wait, was that the rumor, like, yeah, it was going

737
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: to go to LA Is that we pushed him at

738
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 2: last minute?

739
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

740
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, like if Maggie Stafford had like, you.

741
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, yeah, buyer like that buyer's remorts like I

742
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: don't know if I want it, and then someone else.

743
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 4: Why I want it?

744
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: You're like, well, no, no, I have to have it

745
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 2: as a chocohol like that. Uh oh that's.

746
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 4: A dangerous thing. Yeah, changerous I have.

747
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 2: Before we let you go share everyone talk about your

748
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: new YouTube show again and where everyone can find it

749
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: and what you talk about on the show.

750
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

751
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 6: So in thirty minutes every single week, I go through

752
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 6: around thirty minutes, I go through on Wednesday, one number

753
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 6: for each team and then a reason why a team

754
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 6: is predicted to when. So I run a bunch of models,

755
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 6: like simulations, kind of like Madden Games cut style simulations,

756
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 6: and I come up with score and of those then

757
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 6: I say, why what are the stats that drive it?

758
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 6: And I try to get through in thirty minutes. I've

759
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 6: been pretty good. It's been like thirty seven minutes. What's

760
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 6: this week? Which is that's pretty good?

822
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 2: coming together and raising money.

825
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 2: Like, Bill's Mafia has to be the coolest, craziest fan

826
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 2: base out there.

827
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 3: Like they're so like mobilized.

828
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 2: It's incredible, Like they're all in the unit.

829
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 3: Is there like a Facebook group? Yeah, something that like everybody.

830
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: To be Like they had a letter that goes out

831
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: like a joint like this is a cod It's so cool.

832
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 3: It's so cool, especially for good things. Yes, all right,

833
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 3: well and also has to do with that game, but

834
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 3: it's do show emotion. Yes, Mike McDaniel went to suffer

835
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 3: his concussion. He was able to walk off under his

836
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 3: own power. Mike McDaniel leaned into Tua, told him, listen,

837
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 3: you're the quarterback of your family. That's the most important thing.

838
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 3: Go see them, and then he kissed him on the

839
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 3: head and it was one of the sweetest things I've

840
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 3: ever seen a coach do for his player, especially in

841
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 3: front of a national audience. Not that you can't show emotion,

842
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: and you should be able to show emotion. I think

843
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 3: that we need to. You can never accuse Mi McDaniel

844
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: of not caring about his players. He also showed emotion

845
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 3: earlier in the week. I mean, this has been a

846
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 3: hell of a week for the Dolphins. Yes, Tyreek Hill

847
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 3: was put in handcuffs by Miami police, as was kalay

848
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: As Campbell and John new Smith. LEAs Campbell is a

849
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: Walter Payton Maan in the Year winner. Yeah he is,

850
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 3: which is one of the highest honors in the NFL.

851
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 4: No, that bodycam footage was.

852
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: Ridiculous, and Mike McDaniel got up there and just really

853
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 3: it wasn't rehearsed. You could tell he was just very

854
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 3: taken by what had happened. How his players responded wanted

855
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: to make sure that they knew that he supported them,

856
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: and I just I don't know how you do that,

857
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 3: especially to Kalaius Campbell. He is the nicest man, so

858
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 3: I've known him since his rookie year in Arizona. He's like,

859
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: I can't even comprehend putting him in handcuffs.

860
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: No, that that whole situation was horrible, but like also

861
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 2: like thankfully caught on camera so everybody could be held

862
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: a cannibal accountable.

863
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: Well we're hoping, so hoping.

864
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: We're hoping, so punding in an investigation.

865
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's move on to another du do call

876
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: Durant say it was like professional athletes because when you

877
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: think about all of the practices these guys have to

878
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 3: go through from their youth leagues up into high school.

879
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 3: The moms driving them, moms driving them snacks, moms cooking

Speaker 2: To feed these giant athletes even when young kids. Yeah,

883
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine. We were four girls and that

884
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,480

892
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,120

893
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 2: a morning already.

894
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:14,880

00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 2: That's okay, you're here, you made it. I have a

899
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: bone to pick with my cable provider. I might I

900
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 2: might be one of the few people that has cable left,

901
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 2: like I feel like everybody.

902
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 3: Honestly, I'm kind of jealous of people that have cable though,

903
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 3: because we've just reverse engineered cable and made it work.

904
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 2: Which is why I stayed, because I could get every

905
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: single sport.

906
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 4: That's the hardest thing. You can't get every.

907
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: Single I don't want to call out just in case

908
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 2: there's some sort of sponsor with Fox Sports who my

909
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: cable provider is.

910
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 4: But like I, college.

911
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: Football wasn't working this morning, ESPN hasn't been working, like.

00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: Inquirer Conway joining us in about thirty minutes. So let's

938
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: start with a little quarterback round up after our week

939
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 2: one and a week one and a half, and we're

940
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 2: going to start with Tua and that heartbreaking Thursday night

941
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: moment for Toua, his family, Dolphins fans when he left

942
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 2: the game with his fourth official concussion in the last

943
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: five years, because he's had he had one big one

944
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 2: at Bama. Three in the NFL. Probably more like five

945
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: in the last five years, but he ended up passing

946
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: concussion protocol for one of them in twenty twenty two,

947
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 2: but did get another official concussion later that week, and

948
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: that was when the NFL finally stepped in and fired

949
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 2: the nflpa's independent neurotrauma consultant who cleared Tua and allowed

950
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: him to.

951
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: Go back there and then get another game.

952
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: And you guys, this was the elephant in the room,

953
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: like the main concern we were talking about to contract

954
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 2: coming into this year and getting a long term deal

955
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 2: because of his concussion history and the fear that one

956
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 2: more big concussion like that could be it for him.

957
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: And that was kind of the gut wrenching, heartbreaking feeling

958
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 2: I think that the entire football community got when they

959
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 2: were watching Tua on the ground Thursday night and he

960
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 2: had all the signs.

961
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did the fencings and doctors talked about, you know,

962
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two, after he suffered that concussion after

963
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: going into the protocol the week before, that his next

964
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 3: concussion could be his last.

965
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he gets.

966
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 3: Another concussion, I don't know how much more you want

967
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 3: to test fate. And I understand that Tua has worked

968
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 3: so hard for so long. This is this is his

969
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: life he loves. We heard Cynthia talk about how much

970
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 3: he loves football.

971
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: We saw it in the to a documentary that Fox

972
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 2: Sports did leading up to him being drafted.

973
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 3: Yes, and I understand that it not being on your

974
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 3: terms is something that's hard to accept. But at the

975
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 3: end of the day, what is football for Fortua? It's

976
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 3: to take care of his family. You have now with

977
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 3: this new contract, he's been paid out forty three million

978
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 3: already in his there's one hundred and sixty seven million

979
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: guaranteed for injury. Forty three million has already been paid.

980
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: If he's medically cleared to return, but he opts to retire,

981
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 3: he would forego the remaining one hundred and twenty four million,

982
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 3: but more than likely the Dolphins would reach a customed

983
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 3: settlement with him and take care of him. That is

984
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 3: money that can take care of your family. So is

985
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 3: it worth it to continue playing when you may not

986
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 3: be able to take care of your family in a

987
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 3: physical sense, if you suffer one more concussion or even

988
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 3: at this point, is the risk worth it? When you

989
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 3: have made enough money, not that it's about money, but

990
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 3: when you have made enough money to take care of

991
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 3: your family, to live comfortably and be there for your kids.

992
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 3: He's got two kids.

993
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 2: This is such a hard situation because at the end

994
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 2: of the day, this is going to be one hundred

995
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: percent up to Tua and can you are you willing

996
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: to put your life in that danger? And is this

997
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: game worth losing your mind and affecting the rest of

998
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 2: your life? As you mentioned, he is married with two kids.

999
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 2: He is only twenty six years old. And I do

1000
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 2: understand the other side, Like this team has been built

1001
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: around Tua from last year to this year. You just

1002
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: got this big, long term contract that you have been

1003
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: fighting for. You finally feel welcomed with Mike McDaniel, and

1004
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 2: you've talked about it openly. How you how you feel

1005
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 2: like you have a support system for the first time

1006
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 2: in your NFL career, but you have your whole life

1007
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: ahead of you. You're twenty six years old, and this

1008
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 2: is a very serious head trauma that, like head traumas,

1009
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 2: you do not come back from. Once you kind of

1010
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 2: jump to that other side of the threshold.

1011
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 9: Five.

1012
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: I mean realistically that we know of it's most likely

1013
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 2: five major cancussions in five years, and those are just

1014
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: the ones that we have seen and that we know.

1015
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 3: That doesn't count anything that happened growing up. That doesn't

1016
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 3: count anything that happened in high school when things are

1017
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 3: not as regulated, when you don't really know it's it's

1018
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 3: it's a really really scary thing. And it's also an

1019
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 3: impossible decision to make. It has to be so hard

1020
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 3: again because I realized that Tua has worked for this

1021
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 3: his whole life. This is what he loves, this is who.

1022
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 4: He is, y your and it's hard humanity.

1023
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: This decision at twenty six years old for the rest

1024
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 3: of your life. But that has to be the lens

1025
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 3: with which you are looking at things because this is

1026
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 3: going to impact your long term health. It probably already

1027
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 3: is going to impact your long term health. Do you

1028
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 3: want a tempt fate by? And then also as a player,

1029
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 3: can you trust yourself anymore?

1030
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 4: Like why don't you slide the decision?

1031
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 3: I don't understand that decision? But can you really go

1032
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 3: out there and play your game if now you are

1033
00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 3: terrified you are.

1034
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 2: One concussion away from possibly losing everything.

1035
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 3: And that's what we talked about in twenty twenty two.

1036
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: And he even said after twenty twenty two season he

1037
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 2: considered retirement, right.

1038
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 3: I think that that has to be weighing on him.

1039
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 3: And it's really I really appreciate though, Mike McDaniel coming

1040
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 3: out and saying this, the most important thing is your

1041
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 3: health right now and your health later and your family.

1042
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 4: It is.

1043
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 3: Do not worry about that. He's he told you know, reporters,

1044
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 3: don't worry about the timeline. We're not worried about that.

1045
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 3: We're not worried about anything other than to.

1046
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 4: As a human being.

1047
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 3: And I appreciate that coming from the organization, coming from

1048
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 3: his head coach. Again, you cannot argue that Mike McDaniel

1049
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 3: does not care about his players. Yeah, and he handled

1050
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 3: this very well because it's an impossible situation to handle

1051
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 3: because the Dolphins are screwed without Tua oh one hundred percent.

1052
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 3: But they have the right perspective and they have the

1053
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 3: right priorities, and that is very refreshing to see from

1054
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: an NFL team.

1055
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 2: It's that just heartbreaking, is yes, the word that goes

1056
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 2: with that whole situation. Let's switch gears and now our

1057
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: next quarterback. We're going to talk about Josh Allen and

1058
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 2: the two and zero bills once again putting this team

1059
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 2: on his back and continuing his winning ways against the Dolphins.

1060
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 2: He is now twelve and two against Miami, and he

1061
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 2: was you know, he was good enough. He was thirteen

1062
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 2: for nineteen, one hundred and thirty nine yards in a touchdown,

1063
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and seven passer rating. Now last week he

1064
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 2: had to put the team on his back to win.

1065
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 2: Last week Week one, he had the third best passer rating.

1066
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: But Thursday, he saw James Cook was cooking and he

1067
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: gave him the ball. Like that is what a good

1068
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 2: leader does. You pick up the load when you see

1069
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: you need to do it, and then you delegate when

1070
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 2: you see a guy is on James Cook three touchdowns,

1071
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 2: two rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown. Everyone was worried, including me,

1072
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 2: about the Bills coming into this season.

1073
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 3: I was higher on the Bills.

1074
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 4: I know you are.

1075
00:49:58,560 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been hi.

1076
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 4: We were kind of opposite on this, but.

1077
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 2: There was concern about them losing Stefan Diggs their weapons,

1078
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 2: but I.

1079
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: They look like they could be fine. Cynthia was kind

1080
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 4: of talking about this I'm last segment.

1081
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 2: She's like, there is a little concern can he carry

1082
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 2: this much of the load, like deep into the season.

1083
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 3: My whole thing. I was fine with them losing staff,

1084
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 3: losing Gabe Davis. Yeah, what really shook my faith a

1085
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 3: little bit was Matt Mulano's injury on the defensive side

1086
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 3: of the ball. And I mean, you saw Buffalo face

1087
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 3: even more injuries on Thursday night. Yeah, And that is

1088
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 3: the concern because now not only does Josh Allen have

1089
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 3: to carry the offense, which we clearly know.

1090
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 4: He can do We've seen it.

1091
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 3: Now has to carry the entire team as in the

1092
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 3: defense too. You know, teams are going to score more

1093
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 3: than ten points against them, and that's what do you

1094
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 3: do in those situations? Are you able to fight back?

1095
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 3: Are you able to score third to your more points

1096
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 3: every single time you go out? Now, Josh Allen seems

1097
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 3: like he's able to do that. And what I said

1098
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 3: before the season started too was lean on your run

1099
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 3: game as much as possible, lean on James Cook.

1100
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1101
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 3: We saw James Cook go for eleven hundred yards rushing

1102
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 3: last year four hundred yards passing. I'm like, those numbers

1103
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 3: have room to grow. This guy has room to grow,

1104
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 3: and sure enough he gets the hat trick ye on

1105
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: Thursday night. And I also need them to start getting

1106
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: their tight ends a little bit more involved. Dalton Kincaid,

1107
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 3: for for he caught all four of his targets. Yeah,

1108
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 3: but it's only for thirty three yards, So Josh is

1109
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 3: kind of going to them in those short yards situations.

1110
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 3: But you have two of the best in Dawson Knox

1111
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 3: and Dalton Kinkaid, two of the best pass catching tight

1112
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 3: ends that you could ask for. Use them in the

1113
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 3: past game and especially as Kean Coleman gets up to speed. Khalishkir,

1114
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 3: I think everybody has him, Like if you had a

1115
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 3: sleeper pick in your Dynasty League, everyone was going for Khalishkir.

1116
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 3: We know that Josh Allen can do this. He is

1117
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 3: a top three quarterback.

1118
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 2: He's proven that year already already.

1119
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 3: Now I need to know if the defense can figure out.

1120
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 3: But the good news is Sean McDermott seems to be

1121
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 3: able to kind of hide those holes.

1122
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 4: It's a good way to put it.

1123
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 3: But how long can he do that? And how many

1124
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 3: injuries can these guys sustain?

1125
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 4: Not a ton?

1126
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 2: Not a ton? Okay, let's move on to the rookie

1127
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 2: debut that the world was waiting for.

1128
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 4: Carmen. You were there.

1129
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 2: At the Bears home opener Caleb Williams. It was a

1130
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 2: bit of a rocky start. Defense definitely bailed him out

1131
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 2: to win that game. So you saw it firsthand. What

1132
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: did you see in what was your initial Caleb Williams,

1133
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 2: Bear's debut react.

1134
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 3: The fact that the Chicago Bears won a game without scoring

1135
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 3: an offensive touchdown is so.

1136
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 2: Perfectly sh Bears defense.

1137
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 3: Bye, I think you should be encouraged by the fact

1138
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 3: that your defense did bail you out and your special

1139
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 3: teams for that matter. To win a game, coaches will

1140
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 3: tell you you need to win two of the three

1141
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 3: phases of the ball. The Bears did that. They won

1142
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 3: defensively and they won on special teams. They did not

1143
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 3: win offensively. This is why I kept trying to temper expectations, Alex,

1144
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 3: and nobody wanted to hear it. Nobody in Chicago wanted

1145
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 3: to hear it. Nobody wanted to say.

1146
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 2: Everyone was like, stop hating on the Bears.

1147
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not hating. I'm trying to protect them

1148
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 3: from these astronomical expectations when so much of this offense

1149
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 3: is new, including the offensive coordinator Caleb pit Keenan Allen

1150
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 3: a new weapon. Four of eleven targets that is going

1151
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 3: to go up. But these guys just haven't had the

1152
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 3: reps together, they haven't played together. Caleb looked uncomfortable because

1153
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: he is a rookie. His average time to throw was

1154
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 3: over four point three seconds, which was the third longest

1155
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 3: in Week one. That comes because Caleb Williams is not

1156
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 3: comfortable in this offense yet, and that is okay, Hey,

1157
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 3: that makes sense. It makes it hard on the Bears

1158
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 3: offensive line when you're holding the ball that long. Also,

1159
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 3: Caleb wasn't really pushing any of these passes down the field.

1160
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 3: He was two for six on throws of over ten yards.

1161
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 3: He was zero for three on deep pass attempts over

1162
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 3: twenty yards, so you are not getting chunk yardage. And

1163
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 3: the Bear's run game was not getting going in the

1164
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 3: way that they wanted it to. Nothing was clicking. But

1165
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 3: again I am not worried because that was to be

1166
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 3: expected for me. They were expected to start slow. Also,

1167
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 3: I think that Tennessee defensive front is a lot better

1168
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 3: than people are giving a credit for. Devandre Sweat. He's

1169
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 3: a rookie. The brute strength that that man has and

1170
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 3: how big he is when he puts it all together.

1171
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 3: Good Lord on top of Jeffrey Simmons and Harold Landerine,

1172
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 3: all those guys. The second half, you saw Caleb Williams

1173
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 3: kind of start to loosen up to he started to

1174
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 3: play more of his game. And again that was another

1175
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 3: thing that was very encouraging, rolling out, scrambling around. There

1176
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 3: was something even on the first series that struck me.

1177
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 3: It was third and three. It was an incomplete pass.

1178
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 3: They did not convert. It was a three and out.

1179
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 3: But on that third down, Kaylen Williams rolled out to

1180
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 3: his left and he fired to a spot where DJ

1181
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 3: Moore was kind of streaking across the field with a

1182
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 3: defender kind of attached to him, but he was leading

1183
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 3: him and throwing with anticipation while you're on the run

1184
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 3: to a spot that only your receiver could have gotten.

1185
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 3: I know it didn't work out then, yeah, but just

1186
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 3: that vision tells me that with more reps, more of

1187
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 3: those players are going to start to hit.

1188
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: So he saw the flashes of the greatness and what

1189
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 2: everybody was kind of anticipating and talking about and looking

1190
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 2: forward to with him on the Bears.

1191
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 9: Yes.

1192
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, And here's the thing.

1193
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 3: You look at someone like Jordan Love who sat on

1194
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 3: the bench for three years, knew his offense inside and out,

1195
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 3: just hadn't had the reps on field with his actual players.

1196
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 3: It took him half a season to really for Matt Laflord,

1197
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 3: really trust him to open up the playbook. At this point,

1198
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 3: Shane Waldron doesn't know his players that well. This playbook

1199
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 3: is very basic right now, especially watching Shane Waldron's offense

1200
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 3: in Seattle, it starts out very basic, and then you

1201
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 3: start to build once that trust starts to build. Yeah,

1202
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 3: that there's no cheating that. It comes with time. And

1203
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 3: that's why I was like, I don't want any immediate

1204
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,439
Speaker 3: expectations on the Chicago Bears.

1205
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 4: Yes, immediate expectations. It was like the most anticipated debutus.

1206
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 4: This is why I tried to temper them in like

1207
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 4: a decade.

1208
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 3: Oh god, more than that. I mean, this is I

1209
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 3: would say that this was the most anticipated debut of

1210
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 3: a Bears quarterback ever.

1211
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah, Bears quarter I'm saying, like NFL like

1212
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 2: college player coming in.

1213
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 3: Probably it's like Andrew Luck.

1214
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a lot.

1215
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 3: It's okay, Yeah, it's okay. Honestly, like I said, I

1216
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 3: am not panicking. It looked worse than I thought it

1217
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 3: was going to yes. But yeah, I trust that this

1218
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 3: is going to still trend in the upward direction. It's

1219
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 3: going to be really tough against Houston and Timika, Ryan's

1220
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 3: de We're.

1221
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 4: Going to have those game picks at the end of

1222
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:06,479
Speaker 4: the show.

1223
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 2: Here real quick, you mentioned him Jordan Love heartbreaking and

1224
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 2: to last Friday's game in Brazil.

1225
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 4: Honestly, we thought.

1226
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: Best case scenario sceioin his MCL first we heard three

1227
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 2: to six weeks he what's the update?

1228
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 4: Is he out for this? For this weekend? It was

1229
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 4: questioned he's listed as questionable.

1230
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 2: Still, I this is this is the big question. Should

1231
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 2: he play this weekend or give him time to hell? Honestly,

1232
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 2: to me, this is a no brainer. Why would you

1233
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 2: risk it? Even if he has some sort of speedy recovery,

1234
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 2: Why take the chance of making it worse. Don't risk

1235
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:43,439
Speaker 2: the rest of your season? Give him an extra week two? Heel,

1236
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: this is your franchise quarterback you just paid.

1237
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't think there's any real thoughts

1238
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 3: to playing him right now. I think this is all

1239
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 3: gamesmanship to give the Colts multiple scenarios to prepare for.

1240
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 3: I mean, the Packers have no incentive to divulge whether

1241
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 3: or not Jordan Love is playing. Yeah, they if they know,

1242
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 3: then it doesn't matter. And I think that they are

1243
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 3: going to give him some time. They are optimistic. But

1244
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 3: the fact, the sheer fact that they have not brought

1245
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 3: any other quarterback in tells me that they really are optimistic.

1246
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 3: Adds to Jordan Love's timetable.

1247
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 4: Then give him like the three rights, give me two.

1248
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 3: Honestly, I think they were the last timetable I saw

1249
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 3: was really two to three weeks. So give him those.

1250
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: Give him that time. It's probably not gonna look pretty

1251
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 3: with Malik Willis because he was not there all of

1252
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 3: training camp. But I also trust s Matt Lafleur to

1253
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 3: kind of rain in the playbook and simplify it a

1254
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 3: little bit so that Malik Willis can operate it. And oh,

1255
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 3: by the way, you have Josh Jacobs lean on Josh

1256
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 3: Jacobs just and Emmanuel Wilson lean on your backfield, lean

1257
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 3: on your offensive line. I don't want to necessarily have

1258
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 3: to see Malik William. I mean, I know Malik Willis

1259
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 3: has an arm, but he does not know this team.

1260
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 3: He doesn't know these guys. He just got there. It's

1261
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 3: not gonna look pretty, But just be patient Packer fans,

1262
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 3: because I don't think that this is going to matter

1263
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 3: ultimately in the long run.

1264
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 2: No, just deep breath. He's not he should not play tomorrow.

1265
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 2: I don't think he's playing tomorrow. That would just be

1266
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous and thankfully best case scenario for Jordan Love.

1267
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna take a quick break here, but

1268
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 2: when we come back, Dak got his wish, but Carmen

1269
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 2: did not. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back

1270
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 2: to Fox Football Saturday. I'm Alex Curry here with Carmen Vitally,

1271
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the tire dot Com studios

1272
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 2: here in Los Angeles. Thank you for spending your Saturday

1273
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 2: afternoon with Carme and me.

1274
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 3: Christy better than to get me any more boozy.

1275
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 2: Why let's hear more wrapping carm.

1276
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 3: Track idea.

1277
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 4: Well, okay, I want to get you back on track.

1278
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 2: Here for a moment, Carmen, you did not get your

1279
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 2: petty Dak wish. Jerry Jones caved at the buzzer last

1280
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 2: Sunday around five hours before kickoff, making Das the highest

1281
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 2: paid player in the NFL four years, two hundred and

1282
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 2: forty million two hundred and thirty one million guaranteed, also

1283
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 2: the most guaranteed ever the first sixty million dollar a

1284
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 2: year player. So basically, we had all of this drama

1285
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 2: four months listening to cryptic Jerry Jones, only to have

1286
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 2: both Seed Lamb and Dak Prescott get exactly what they wanted.

1287
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 2: So all of this drama was for clicks. He said

1288
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: during the off season he was still willing to have

1289
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 2: Dak play out his contract and then caved.

1290
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 4: I like, okay, yeah, okay.

1291
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 3: This is what the Cowboys do. This is exactly why.

1292
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 4: Give everyone a panic attack and then give them what

1293
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 4: they want.

1294
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 3: This is why I wanted Dak Prescott to go hit

1295
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 3: free agency. Not that I didn't care. I didn't care

1296
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 3: if he signed back with the Cowboys. I just wanted

1297
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 3: him to make the Cowboys sweat because will taste their

1298
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 3: on medicine. He had a no trade, no tag class.

1299
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to be very interested to see as more

1300
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 3: information comes out about this contract if he still has

1301
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 3: a no tag or no trade class in this nude contract,

1302
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 3: because that gave him such unique leverage over this organization.

1303
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 3: Players don't usually get that kind of leverage where they

1304
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 3: are calling the shots one hundred percent when it comes

1305
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 3: to this kind of stuff, knowing too as Dak Prescott

1306
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 3: that if he hit free agency, there was going to

1307
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 3: be a bidding war for him, Yes, and you could

1308
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 3: have driven that price up even I mean, I get

1309
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 3: sixty million dollars a years, a lot of money and stability,

1310
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 3: and you're already in Dallas. I again was not opposed

1311
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 3: to Dak still playing for the Cowboys next year. I

1312
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 3: just wanted for it. I wanted Jerry and Stephen Jones

1313
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 3: to have to work for it, and Dak did not

1314
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,439
Speaker 3: do that. And I'm happy for Dak because he had

1315
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:35,919
Speaker 3: you know, he's taking care of his family. He has

1316
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 3: a daughter. Now, he got the richest contract by any

1317
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 3: NFL player in NFL history. That's amazing. I appreciate that.

1318
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 3: I love that for him. But I would have just

1319
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 3: really enjoyed it if you could have held the Cowboys

1320
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 3: accountable for how they do it, because they do.

1321
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 2: This single time, and all I thought about was you,

1322
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 2: thank you your petty request.

1323
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, damn carm.

1324
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 3: Because they did it with Steedee Lamb. Yeah, game exactly

1325
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 3: what he wanted. They did with Zach Martin last year

1326
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 3: when you make an offensive lineman work for his contract

1327
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 3: and have to advocate for himself. Offensive linemen do not

1328
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 3: talk about themselves. Don't make them do that. Zach Martin

1329
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 3: was on Twitter talking about his matin rating and I'm

1330
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 3: like that, what why?

1331
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 2: Also, these are like homegrown guys too, So why are

1332
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 2: you ridiculous?

1333
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: Part?

1334
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 3: Why are you like this is your ideal scenario? And

1335
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 3: that was my thing the entire time, was with Dak,

1336
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 3: with CD, with Zach. Those are guys you drafted and

1337
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 3: you you should be thrilled to give them top of

1338
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 3: the market money because not only did you identify them,

1339
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 3: evaluate them, draft them, develop them. Now they're hitting their

1340
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 3: second or third contracts with you at the top of

1341
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 3: the market because they are tops at their positions.

1342
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 4: Uh huh?

1343
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 3: Why are you hesitating in paying these.

1344
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 2: Guys drama clicks, headlines being the talk of the town?

1345
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 3: H never accused Saria Jones and not know how to

1346
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 3: play the game. I'll tell you that.

1347
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 6: No.

1348
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 2: All right, now, let's check in with Martin wise and

Speaker 8: outside Tulane and Oklahoma. Tulane had to adjust their practice

1365
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 8: schedule because of a hurricane and the Gulf of Mexico

1366
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 8: as well. But they're at Oklahoma now trailing this fifteenth three.

1375
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,160

1400
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 11: Hey guys, how are you?

1401
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

1402
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 4: Great, happy to have you here.

1403
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 3: How are you, Kelsey?

1404
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 2: We had a shocking, shocking loss, I think to most

1405
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 2: in Week one against the Patriots, what was the mood

1406
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 2: at practice and in the locker room this week?

1407
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 11: I think it was immediately after the game, like definitely

1408
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 11: frustration because the Bengals knew that they didn't play well,

1409
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 11: and they knew that they should have won that game.

1410
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 11: And I think it was a little bit of annoyance

1411
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 11: to some degree that they tried to do some new

1412
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 11: things during the preseason to like fix the slow starts,

1413
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 11: and it still didn't work. And then as you got

1414
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 11: to Wednesday, you could tell like the energy was building

1415
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 11: again because every time the Bengals and Chiefs have played

1416
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 11: when Joe Burrow has been healthy, it's been a shootout

1417
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 11: really fun, entertaining games for everyone involved. So it definitely

1418
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 11: switched to more energized towards the end of the week.

1419
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 11: But there's definitely frustration after immediately after the game because

1420
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 11: everybody in that locker room knew that they were you know,

1421
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 11: they should have won that game. And it wasn't even

1422
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 11: just about the two rosters, like the disparity between them,

1423
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 11: like the Bengals had two awful fumbles, they they did

1424
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 11: not play well enough to win, and the Patriots beat them.

1425
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 3: I want to switch then to this week, so we

1426
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 3: saw the absence of Tea Higgins. I think makes a

1427
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 3: huge difference because while we talk about the Jamar Chase

1428
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 3: and Joe Burrow connection, T Higgins is just as important

1429
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 3: to this often just as important to Joe Burrow and

1430
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 3: making this all click. Now we have T Higgins as

1431
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 3: doubtful for this week's game, do you foresee any adjustments

1432
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 3: being made? What has Zach Taylor said about kind of

1433
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 3: tailoring now this offense to make up for the fact

1434
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 3: that they do not have T. Higgins? And do you

1435
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 3: expect anybody to kind of step up in his place

1436
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 3: or who do you expect to step up in his place?

1437
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 11: Well, the t Higgins thing was a bummer because he

1438
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,959
Speaker 11: had really done a lot of different things to try

1439
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 11: and make sure he didn't do whatever he could to

1440
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 11: have a soft tissue injury occur. It happened in practice

1441
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 11: on Thursday, you know, right before the game, so he

1442
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 11: had gone through a whole camp and then he tweeted hamstring.

1443
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 11: So so that's total bummer for him. But I think

1444
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 11: what you'll see this week is Jamar Chase was limited

1445
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 11: in the first week because he didn't practice during training camp.

1446
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 11: They didn't know if he was going to play, so

1447
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 11: he wasn't as big a part of the game plan.

1448
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 11: Think you're going to see a ton of targets to Jamar,

1449
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 11: but obviously the Chiefs are going to try and take

1450
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 11: him away. So I think some names to keep an

1451
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 11: eye on are andre Yoshibas, who is their slot receiver

1452
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,479
Speaker 11: this year. He was their seventh round pick last year.

1453
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 11: They expect big things from him and he was doing

1454
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 11: a lot for this offense during training camp. To keep

1455
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,680
Speaker 11: your eye on him. And I think that they're going

1456
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 11: to really rely on Mike Gasiki, their tight end, who's

1457
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 11: also you could say a slot receiver too. He had

1458
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 11: a nice play that if he would have just held

1459
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 11: onto the ball in the end zone, he would have

1460
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 11: had a touchdown in Week one. So those are two

1461
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 11: guys that I think are going to be a really

1462
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 11: big part of the passing game. And then when the

1463
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 11: Bengals were successful against the Patriots, they had success with

1464
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 11: black Box running the ball. But really the secret weapon

1465
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 11: that I think that they haven't unleashed yet that people

1466
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 11: should know about in Peace Brown. Because he's super explosive,

1467
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 11: he's fast, and he can take a five yard screen pass,

1468
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 11: you know, thirty yards and he saw him do it,

1469
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 11: so he's really improved as a pass catcher. So those

1470
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 11: are a couple of names that I think is the

1471
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 11: Bengals are going to win without t Higgins and have

1472
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 11: an explosive passing game. I think those guys are the

1473
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 11: ones that are going to be heavy targets from Joe Burrow.

1474
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the main man, Joe Burrow coming

1475
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,759
Speaker 2: back from the risk surgery, and there were some clips

1476
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 2: that went viral this week of him holding his risks

1477
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 2: shaking it out during that Week one game. Now, Burrow

1478
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 2: did say that the risk is not affecting him. However,

1479
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 2: is there any concern in the building with his health.

1480
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 11: Right now, we have officially reached a level of people

1481
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 11: are diagnosing how he picks up a water bottle to

1482
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 11: see if it's okay, like that is a real thing.

1483
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 11: But at this point you just have to take him

1484
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 11: for his word. And I did see him throw a

1485
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 11: couple deep passes in the thirty minutes we were allowed

1486
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 11: to watch practice this week, So I don't I think

1487
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 11: it's a rift thing. I think he did not play well,

1488
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 11: and I think it was more mental because he literally

1489
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 11: hadn't played in a regular season game with a rush

1490
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 11: coming down his throat since the middle of November. So

1491
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 11: that's what I talked his Week one performance up to.

1492
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 11: I did not chalk it up to it being a

1493
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 11: rift situation, but he did say with the ligament injury,

1494
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 11: like he's got to keep moving it to keep it

1495
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 11: warm so that it doesn't stiffen up. And so I

1496
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 11: think that he'll be much better as a passer this week.

1497
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 11: And as you guys have seen in the last couple

1498
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 11: of years, Brow just gets better as the season goes on,

1499
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,679
Speaker 11: because I think for him, it's he's able to diagnose

1500
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 11: defenses better. And so I'm talking week one up too,

1501
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 11: that just being rusty because he hadn't played since the

1502
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 11: middle of November. I did not chalk it up to

1503
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 11: a rift thing. But if they struggle, you know, for

1504
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 11: the next couple of weeks in terms of passing, and

1505
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 11: he doesn't look accurate and he's not throwing it down

1506
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 11: the field of confidence, then we might have to circle

1507
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,799
Speaker 11: back to the rifting. But I think for everyone wondering

1508
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,759
Speaker 11: about Joe Burrow's risks, like I go back to this point.

1509
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 11: I put out a story after he had surgery about

1510
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,640
Speaker 11: what exactly he had done, and I spoke to a

1511
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 11: couple of sources in the medical industry and they told

1512
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 11: me that the recovery timeline was nine to twelve months,

1513
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 11: So twelve months will be November. So I think that

1514
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 11: he might still be uncomfortable a little bit, but that

1515
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 11: doesn't mean that he can't go out there and play,

1516
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 11: Like I think that people just like similar to an

1517
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 11: acl like, you probably won't feel your best until the

1518
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 11: end of the projected timeline. So I think that's just

1519
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 11: like important to keep in mind.

1520
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 3: Fair well, he also has the help of a better

1521
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 3: offensive line in front of him, because in week one

1522
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 3: they ranked they were fifth, allowing just six pressures on

1523
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. So you have to think that he has

1524
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 3: to feel a little bit more comfortable. From the aspect

1525
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 3: of they invest in the offensive line this offseason, it

1526
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 3: seems to be working. Do you see him kind of

1527
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 3: trust that a little bit more and that unlocking some

1528
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 3: different things for this offense.

1529
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, And I think I went back and watched it,

1530
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 11: Like the first offensive play of the game, he got hit.

1531
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 11: Trent Brown did not play well on the right side

1532
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 11: early on in the game. And I mean, if you

1533
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 11: think about it from like a human aspect, right, like,

1534
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 11: if you if that injury happened to you in the

1535
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 11: first play of the game in a real game you

1536
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 11: get hit, like, wouldn't you like almost kind of overworry

1537
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 11: and think, you know, worse things possible. I mean, He's

1538
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 11: a human. And so I think that as the game

1539
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 11: went on, the Bengals offensive line played much better, and

1540
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 11: I think there's no reason to believe that in week

1541
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 11: two he won't trust them so much more because he

1542
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,599
Speaker 11: said he thought the offensive line played well, and they did.

1543
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 11: They did play well in the second half, So I

1544
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 11: think for him it was just maybe, like I mean,

1545
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 11: he he's very self aware, and he said, you know,

1546
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 11: I had happy feet in the pocket, and he admitted,

1547
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,639
Speaker 11: you know, it wasn't his best game. So I think

1548
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,879
Speaker 11: that if the one thing is he was denying anything,

1549
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 11: but I think the fact that he said that that

1550
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 11: they now have one game under their belts. I really

1551
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 11: do think he's going to be so much better and

1552
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 11: the offensive line will play better. But then you're also

1553
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:17,679
Speaker 11: now dealing with Chris Jones, who so it's a different

1554
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 11: obstacle this week. And Chris Jones, I don't I put

1555
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 11: out a stat I like it's some ridiculous amount of

1556
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 11: quarterback pressures he's had in games alone against the Bengals,

1557
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 11: because they will be this will be the sixth time

1558
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 11: they've played each other in four years, so he presents

1559
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 11: his own issue. So the Bengals offensive line certainly needs

1560
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 11: to build off of their second half performance because you

1561
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 11: can't have a step back against Chris Jones because as

1562
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 11: you guys very well know, he will wreck the game.

1563
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:49,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So one more about this big matchup with the

1564
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 2: Chiefs tomorrow because obviously since he looking to avoid their

1565
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 2: fifth O two start underhead coach Zach Taylor, but Burrow

1566
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 2: does have a good head to head record. What are

1567
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 2: the few quarterbacks that can say that against Mahomes. Are

1568
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 2: the Bengals looking at this as a must win tomorrow?

1569
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:07,600
Speaker 11: No, I don't think they're looking at it as a

1570
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 11: must win because they've been able to crawl out of

1571
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 11: zero to two holes more often than they definitely like

1572
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 11: and Burrow said this week, nobody's panicking. But I think

1573
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 11: that Burrow all he has said this off season is

1574
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 11: when when you're not playing, people forget about you. And

1575
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 11: so that's why I think expectations were so high for

1576
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 11: him coming in the season because it's almost like a

1577
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 11: little revenge tour for him, and he knows he needs

1578
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 11: to play well in the game of this magnitude a

1579
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 11: because if he does not play well the Bengals, it's

1580
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 11: hard to go into Arrowhead and beat Patrick Mahomes if

1581
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 11: your quarterback isn't playing lights out. But I think it

1582
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 11: also I going to go back to that confidence thing

1583
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 11: for him, like I think if he can go in

1584
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 11: and prove to himself again that he is like that

1585
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 11: dude for lack of a better term, and he went

1586
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 11: into Arrowhead and helped Bengals, you know, avoid another z

1587
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 11: and two start, Like, I think that could just set

1588
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 11: him on a path of just like domination. So I

1589
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:09,200
Speaker 11: think this game, even though like you can't say it's

1590
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 11: a must win and week two, I think everybody involved

1591
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 11: knows the importance and what a win can do for

1592
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 11: Joe Burrow in the locker room and the team.

1593
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's catalyst, Joey, Joey beats all coming down to you, Kelsey,

Speaker 3: a brown. He's now dawn.

1628
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 4: For week two, let's go.

1629
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 7: We have the Bengals versus Mahomes and the Chiefs. Chiefs

1630
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 7: are home and six point favorites, Alex the leader in

1631
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:14,639
Speaker 7: the clubhouse.

1632
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 9: Who are you picking?

1633
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 4: Well, I learned my lesson last week, and I thought I.

1634
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 2: Did during the playoffs last season, but now I really

1635
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,759
Speaker 2: have I'm not picking against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

1636
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 2: He's too good. Plus, as we just heard, Bengals are

1637
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 2: dealing with a little bit of issues with targets. Is

1638
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,080
Speaker 2: Burrow a HUNDI we don't really know. I'm going with

1639
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 2: the Chiefs.

1640
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 3: I'm going Bengals. I didn't learn my lessons in the

1641
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 3: last week. I was the Chiefs one last week. So

1642
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 3: like the Chiefs can't win every game this year. They well,

1643
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 3: I'm raving like Zach Taylor has had a little bit

1644
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 3: of time in marinate on what Ta Higgins being out means.

1645
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 3: I just yeah. And we heard Kelsey Jamar Chase is

1646
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 3: gonna go off.

1647
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 9: You know what?

1648
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 3: Fortune favors the bold.

1649
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 9: Carmen, I dig it.

1650
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with.

1651
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 7: Next up, we have Nolins and the Saints at the

1652
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 7: Dall's Cowboys.

1653
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 3: Carmen, you're bold. What's your bold pick? I'm not that bold,

1654
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 3: are you? Absolutely?

1655
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 7: Not?

1656
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 3: No? Normal. They might be better than we think they are,

1657
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 3: but they also played the Carolina Panthers last week, so

1658
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 3: I I it's the Cowboys. I'm taking the Cowboys in

1659
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:19,719
Speaker 3: this one.

1660
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam, I'm taking taking the Cowboys first home game

1661
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 2: of the season. Defense looked good against Cleveland, CD and

1662
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 2: Dak got paid. Now they get to show it off

1663
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 2: in front of Cowboys Nation like it's happening.

1664
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 4: Cowboys, all right, it is happening.

1665
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 7: Now we're going to take it back to the NFC

1666
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 7: West where we have the Los Angeles Rams in Arizona

1667
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 7: taking on the Cardinals. Rams are one point favorite, I

1668
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:44,839
Speaker 7: might add, oh did that change?

1669
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 3: It did change?

1670
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 4: The Cardinals were favored yesterday.

1671
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: Favorite.

1672
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 4: Okay, let's go.

1673
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:51,639
Speaker 3: We feeling.

1674
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:53,759
Speaker 4: I'm taking the Rams here, baby.

1675
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 2: Now they are dealing with some injuries. Pukunakua to their alignment,

1676
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 2: replaced on the IR but Matthews Stafford played well in

1677
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 2: that ot loss the line.

1678
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:05,640
Speaker 4: To Cooper cup of solid. You know he's back. He

1679
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:06,679
Speaker 4: looks good. I'm taking the Rams.

1680
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking the Rams too. I don't know if

1681
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 3: the Cardinals are for real yet, and until that happens,

1682
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 3: I really do think the Rams are going to have

1683
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:15,680
Speaker 3: a great season. Even with We're gonna go out for

1684
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,919
Speaker 3: a few weeks. Uh, the old line injuries.

1685
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's big bother me.

1686
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's bake with Stafford and what Stafford looks like

1687
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 3: under pressure. But I still believe in Sean McVay and

1688
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 3: and Matthew Stafford and this Rams team.

1689
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 7: Well, speaking of teams that we believe in, Carmen, oh boy,

1690
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 7: we have your Chicago Bears at the Houston Texans. Texans

1691
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 7: are six and a half point favorites. But Carmen, you like,

1692
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 7: like I said, we're not.

1693
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 3: Picking against the spread, right, No, this is straight up,

1694
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:46,719
Speaker 3: straight up yeah, yeah, no, I'm taking I'm I'm taking

1695
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 3: the Texans. I mean, the Bears did not score an

1696
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 3: offensive touchdown last week, and it worked because it was

1697
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 3: the Tennessee Titans. The Texans are not the Tennessee Titans.

1698
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 3: The Texans are the favorites in the AFC style, theyre

1699
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 3: one of the favorites in the AFC. So yep, I'm

1700
01:19:58,600 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 3: going Texans.

1701
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also going and Texans all those reasons.

1702

Speaker 6: C J.

1703
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 2: Stroud and Texans offense is way more locked in. Caleb

1704
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 2: Williams has it a little more growing time.

1705
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 6: C J.

1706
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 3: Stroud had his own growing pains last week.

1707
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 6: Kary.

1708
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 3: People forget he did.

1709
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to our last pick.

1710
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 9: All right, last one.

1711
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 7: We have Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Detroit Lions. Seven

1712
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 7: and a half favorites for the Lions. Alex kick us

1713
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 7: through it.

1714
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 2: Lions all the way, baby, I mean, they were a

1715
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 2: second half breakdown away from the Super Bowl last year.

1716
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 2: They are just as locked in this year.

1717
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 3: They barely go past Bucks in the post check.

1718
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 4: I'm taking Lions.

1719
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 3: You know. It's the Bucks secondary injury issues and upfront.

1720
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 3: Even with Kelijah Canzy, I can't in good faith take

1721
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:47,719
Speaker 3: them as much as I want to. So I'm going Lions,

1722
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 3: and I love the Lions.

1723
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,040
