Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast. He's not the official voice

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles Chargers. Why the hell am I

Speaker 1: and Gregg Rosenthal. What's up? Boys? Hey? Dan? It does

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: beg the question when we're gonna just utterly lose money.

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Who's now in NFL full time NFL broadcaster? Why drag?

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: Why drag yourself up the cboard to this studio for

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: free to record a bunch of nonsense. That's a question

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: we've been asking ourselves of Matt money Smith for a

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: long time actually, and now it's only becoming more apparent

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: as he now um goes into his maiden voyage as

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: the voice of the Chargers. So I like that. That

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: was a good one. That was a good one. Uh

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: This is the Round the NFL Podcast, presented by New

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: Era UM. This is our first show after Chris Westling's

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: dramatic um for on call Phoner and Wes. I imagine

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: there was a nice bit of uh an outpouring of

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: support after a Friday's show wasn't there. There was. Indeed,

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to thank our Reddit board, all the people

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I was flooded with all kinds of congratulatory messages,

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: a lot heartfelt messages. It was. It's good to hear.

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: I've probably got a little too much credit for how

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: strong I've been. Um, I don't think when you're fighting

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: cancer some people it's not like you choose to be

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: stronger week Like, some days you feel strong and you

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: can take on the world, and some days you're like,

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: all right, let the drugs and the doctors take over

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: and let them handle it. I probably publicly have not

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: said how much of a struggle has been. It's been

32
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: a little nonchalant on the podcast, but it's been a

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: struggle and it's not inevitable that you're gonna win against cancer. Yeah,

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean, West has been amazing through this whole process.

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: We haven't you know, the show's West has not been here.

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: We have not obviously been giving a daily update, but

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: you can understand, Uh, West has been in the fight

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: of his life life and it's one that he's winning,

39
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: which is why Friday's podcast was so special. And by

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: the way, West, Uh, and you're aware of this and

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: maybe some of the listeners, but not everyone. You got

42
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: your first celebrity well wish uh over the weekend. Uh

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: my buddy Bob who has been on the show before,

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: and I do the throwback podcast with him. Um, humble humble. Uh.

45
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: He is shooting something right now that included a guest

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: starring spot from the great Dr J. Julius Irving, uh,

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer of the NBA. Let's listen to

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: what Julius had to say. Dr J. Here, I know

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: you've been battling the Big Sea and then you've got

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: good moves. So I'm really happy to hear about that.

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: So I feel good for you. Combs up and take care. UM.

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Shout out to Dr J too, because he uh, Bob

53
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: mentioned it to him when they were the beginning of

54
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: their shoot, and then after they were done, it was

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Dr J himself that said, oh, you want to do

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: that thing that you talked about. So that's that's always good.

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: That's like a reverse laud reveal magnifico. Yeah. I think

58
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Dr J for a long time has been known as

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: one of the classiest athletes out there. Yeah, I mean

60
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: you you mentioned kind of not letting the listeners know

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: all the tough I mean, even in this celebratory weekend,

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: and I think I probably I'm not gonna speak for

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: the other guy. The news it almost didn't hit me.

64
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: Like listening to it on the podcast, I almost blanked

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: out and it was like a very I mean, it

66
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: was surreal. It's sort of started hitting me. And you

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that the news really started hitting you a few

68
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: hours later, maybe when some of the medicine were out

69
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: and in same with with me and as heart of

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: a battle. It's been for us like you ended up

71
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: having a fever and kind of been knocked out. It's

72
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: not like you were out there celebrating all week and

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: you you basically couldn't couldn't eat for well, the hardest

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: part has been getting esophagitis from the radiation and not

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: being able to eat or drink for a good five

76
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: or six week period, losing forty something pounds. The second

77
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: hardest part has been mentally that for very step forward,

78
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: you think you can find a pattern or you think

79
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: that you're going to proceed forward in a positive way,

80
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: and three or four hurdles pop up and you take

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: two steps back. And I think that's true for a

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: lot of people. Who have cancer. Um one note by

83
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: the way there, I I will say there's at least

84
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: four to five people that have contacted uh myself and us.

85
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 1: They would love to wish you well. They've been blocked

86
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: by you on Twitter, but they do messages. Can you

87
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: tell West that we're happy? V can't everybody blocked me?

88
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: That is also that's another reverse lab Raville macnefico, a

89
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: double reverse. Yes, it is blocked. You still have the

90
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: decency as a human to wish you well. That's out there.

91
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: That's a sentiment as well. That that makes me feel good.

92
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: We should we should go back and find those they

93
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: should be out blocked these people. Yeah, I don't know.

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: West has a tough you know, you've gotta you've gotta

95
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: you've gotta climb back in if you've been blocked. I'm

96
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: not sure that does it? Does that do it? It

97
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: kind of depends what moodham in that day. But there's

98
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: a lot of times I'll just throw open, you know,

99
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: throw up in the gates to anyone who just said,

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: let me back in. Maybe Big C is not worthy

101
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: of it. Maybe if you have to like overcome like

102
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: typhoid fever or something, and they wish you well, although

103
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: Big c is probably bigger than Typhoid Feure save for

104
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,119
Speaker 1: the Typhoid Fever podcast. Is what I say, big show

105
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: coming up today including uh yeah, some kicker talk, a

106
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: kicker story comes to an end and then has a

107
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: new beginning. And I think you know what I'm talking

108
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: about if you're regular listener of this show. Uh and

109
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: then we have we went through the Thursday and Friday

110
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: games on our last podcast of week one of the preseason,

111
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 1: and west buckle up because there's eight more preseason games

112
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: to touch on later in today's show. And this is

113
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: your last show for for a little bit at least,

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: because your surgery is coming up this week. So what

115
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: better way to send you off than eight games of

116
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 1: high octane preseason actions. I found, Uh yeah, I found

117
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: a bit of a cheat around these preseason games. I

118
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: don't have to watch the whole thing, just watch them

119
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: on game past, the condensed version, all in a row

120
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: and love it. How fun? How fun to watch all

121
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: life should be on a condensed pass. That's that's that's

122
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: realize right now, all right here we go behind the glass.

123
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: By the way, Uh, there was a some type of

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: ceremonial headset transfer on Friday show, but we were so

125
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: busy we didn't really get to dig into it. But

126
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: now behind the glass her name is Erica Tempose Tom

127
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: Possi temposey nailed it. Uh, and she Erica has been

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: here for a few weeks now and a very capable

129
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: young woman, I find but we're about to find out

130
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: because now now the pressure has turned up. Your thoughts

131
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: so far, No, there's no thoughts. That's good. That's that

132
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: means it's hyper focused about what's in front of her.

133
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: So Erica, welcome aboard. Let's do some news alright, folks

134
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: could have Erica on board. And so, by the way,

135
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: well executed code over Sully. Yeah, it has just been

136
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: shredded and scattered by the side of the road by Erica. Yeah,

137
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: let's be honest. So Sully probably celebrated all weekend. He

138
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: gets to go back to his little podcast and no

139
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: longer does he have to deal with two shows and

140
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: and Sully a shout out to Sully because he did

141
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: get put in a tough position having a deal with

142
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: two shows. And uh, we will miss you in the studio, Sully.

143
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll probably resurface as you always do at

144
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 1: some point, but thank you for your help, uh during

145
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,040

Speaker 1: gus every spring Godzilla. Um, all right, here we go.

147
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,760

148
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: seven yeard attempt kick his up he pushed it. Wow.

149
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: He just does not look smooth when he's kicking the fall.

150
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: All right. That was the final kick of Roberto Wio's

151
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The battle between Nick

152
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Folk and Robbi Aguayo was over because the Tampa Bay

153
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Bucks after Aguya missed that kick and an extra point

154
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: uh in the preseason affair against the Cincinnati Bengals. UH,

155
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: they waived the second round pick the former second round pick,

156
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: which obviously marks the end of what is a very

157
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: embarrassing saga. A tough situation obviously for the kicker, but

158
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: an embarrassing situation for the Bucks who traded up to

159
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: get Aguayo thought they were getting a guy that was

160
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: going to be a solution there for many years, and

161
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: he didn't even make it to his second season. UM.

162
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Shortly after that, after his his cut, he was claimed

163
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: on waivers by the Chicago Bears. Who Uh, well, it

164
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: looks like we might have another kicker battle in our hands, folks,

165
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: Aguayo Bars. Actually, you know what, I just can't. I'm

166
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: not doing this anymore. Yeah. So Connor Bart, the guy

167
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: that got cut when Robbi Aguayo got drafted, is now

168
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: competing with Robby Iguire with the Bears. But for me,

169
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: in terms of and obviously old Jus has been tracking

170
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: this very closely, it ceases to be a wildly fascinating

171
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: subplots me now that he's no longer associated with the

172
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: team that had so much stock in him. Uh your

173
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: thoughts West? First of all, why were you laughing the

174
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: third person usage? There was a weird situation to go

175
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: third person. I like it, Uh my thought. I can't

176
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: believe it's been almost a year. We were going through

177
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: this before. In his second week of the preseason. There's

178
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: a rookie. That's how early his struggle started. Uh. And

179
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: to me, I was surprised that they didn't give him

180
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: more more belief. You know when I I heard this

181
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: before I watched the game. That I watched the game,

182
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, he kicked one off the upright,

183
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: the other one barely missed. I don't know it. One

184
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: was an extra point right, he kicked with the extra

185
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: point off the upright. The other one barely missed. It

186
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: didn't seem like he embarrassed himself. I think part of

187
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: the issue is that if you're the general manager Jay's

188
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: and Light, you've probably been hearing about this NonStop, and

189
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: and I wonder the presence of hard knocks and this

190
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: young person's career in the whole situation it's meant for

191
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay. Do you did they cut Bait a

192
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: week or two earlier than they might have if there

193
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: wasn't this intense media focus on them. Yeah, maybe it's

194
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: not even all hard knocks. But I think that's right

195
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: that he was a long shot to win this job

196
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: they were starting to see because Nick folks had set

197
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: thousand guaranteed anyway, So I think Oguio entered this camp

198
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: as a sizeable underdog, and then you see him make

199
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: a couple of mistakes like that, and just the attention

200
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: that's like, let's it's almost like a mercy killing early

201
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: in a in a episode or a television series season,

202
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: like let's get rid of Oguyo now before like let's

203
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: not drag it out with this poor guy. And in

204
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: an interview with Monday Morning, quarterback Peter King spoke with

205
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: the GM Jason Light, who's the one that has the

206
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: most egg on his face over this first of all

207
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: NFL Films got the whole scene of the release. It

208
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: will be on some our night's episode. Here's what Light

209
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: had to say. You never feel good when you shatter

210
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: someone's dream. That is always tough, especially someone you had

211
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: such high hopes for. You don't have good feelings about that.

212
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a sense of I don't

213
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: want to say relief, but we've ripped off the band

214
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: aid and we move on. We're moving forward. I think

215
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: a couple of things was, yeah, he just it was

216
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: just two kicks, but he actually not not a kicking expert.

217
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: But the fact that he just looks stiff. He didn't

218
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: look natural. You could tell the moment was still pressing

219
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: on him. And if I was Jason Lytton, I was

220
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks and Dirk Cutter, You're thinking yourself, it's this

221
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: kid is still not right in the head. And if

222
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: I forget about the mccanics, this is still something he's

223
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: dealing with. We gotta move forward. We can't continue this

224
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: because it was turning into a soap opera. That's part

225
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: of the reason we're having fun with it. But it

226
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: was really something I was weighing on the team. Well, yeah,

227
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: it's it's starts in your head and then then it

228
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: affects your fundamentals, so that that's what happens. But it's

229
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: also outside of the quarterback. The coach loses confidence in

230
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: the kicker quicker than any other position on the field.

231
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: It's not like you need to even review the game film.

232
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: You can tell when a kickers messing up just there

233
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: on the film. I mean, I I just wonder if

234
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: you're let's say Aldrick Rosas out there and you're in

235
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: the middle of a fiery kicker battle with Mike Nugent

236
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, what about me, us, I'm kicking with

237
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: a former Jets legend against him. I'm in MetLife Stadium.

238
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: That's pretty spicy. Or maybe you're Randy Bullock, who used

239
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: to have a nickname on this podcast, Big One. Randy.

240
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: You're in the middle of a war with Jake Elliott

241
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: and you're thinking why why all the why? All the

242
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: pub from the zeuser Very simple, very simple it did

243
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: not have the elements of Greek tragedy. Like Robbie, don't

244
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: overdraft these kickers. You you mess with him when you

245
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: do that. Absolutely all right, moving on, Good luck Robbie.

246
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: By the way, Robbie eleven for eleven in his first

247
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: Bears practice. It shouldn't surprise anyone if he has a

248
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: successful NFL career now that he's away from the spotlight

249
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's pretty typical that kickers that do

250
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: have long careers often bounce around. Nick Folk is one

251
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: that comes to mind that's had a great career that

252
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: bounced arount very early, the last second round pick for

253
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: a kicker. Uh, let's move on and talk about the

254
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: Indianapolis call. It's Andrew Luck. It's one of the great

255
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: mysteries of NFL summer. When will Andrew Luck be back

256
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: on the field. Will he be ready for the start

257
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: of the regular season. Will we start the regular season

258
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: on the pup list, which is where he is right now? Uh?

259
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: In terms of training camp, they're hoping to avoid that.

260
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: There everything is trending towards him not starting the season

261
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: on the publist. But at the same time, Jim Ursey

262
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: was asked, um uh, this vas CBS four in Indianapolis.

263
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Uh if he would be ready for the regular season

264
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: opener against the Los Angeles Rams, and ursay did not

265
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: come down with anything definitive. You know, I can't say

266
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: I I can't say that unequivocally he'll be ready for

267
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: the RAM game. But I can say I feel very

268
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: confident that he'll be ready just start the season. Now

269
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: that may not be the RAM game, but to start

270
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: the season. Yes, But well that that put my head

271
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: into a child game. His Week one for Claire. I

272
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: think it might have been he was just he was

273
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: not using his words. Well there, he'll be ready at

274
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: some point in the season. Is that what he's gotting out?

275
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: He's obviously not gonna be ready for the start of

276
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the season. If he's not ready for the Rams game,

277
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: the game, maybe he's viewing the start of the season

278
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: as a multi game like September. Maybe it's September because

279
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: that that that jives with what Ian Rappaport reported that

280
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: it will be maybe week one, maybe week to something

281
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, by the way, we'll get to

282
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: Scott to I was gonna say, yeah, okay, we will.

283
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: You cannot wrote right into the battle in the ANFC

284
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: South with with what they have at quarterback behind Luck,

285
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't care how you define start of the season.

286
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: I gotta get somebody else in there well, or say.

287
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: The most interesting thing he said was that they did

288
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: look at kind of a veteran quarterback to bring in,

289
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: but they said it was too much money. And I

290
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: was thinking of who is that. Wouldn't it be fantasic?

291
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe it was J Cutler because he

292
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a I believe a history

293
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: with some of the coaches there, and so now it

294
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: makes sense that he was too much money. I'd love

295
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: to see Andrew Luck backed up by Robert Griffin to

296
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: bring that draft class back to a full head. I

297
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: also love to see Jim Marsay give up like a

298
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: first round pick for J. Cutler. It's like a total panic. Yeah,

299
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: like just the just the Dolphins clean up off this

300
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: J Cutler signing. We'll see what happens. But Andrew Luck,

301
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: we'll be ready for the start of the season, but

302
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: may not be ready for Week one. That's a takeaway there.

303
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: Other quarterback news, one person you will not see at

304
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: all in the preseason is you know what I got

305
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: to go into the Ravens Nest top end, always a

306
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: bad place in terms of news. It seems uh here

307
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: in the Ravens Nest Joe Flacco will not play, uh

308
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: in a preseason game this year. Flacco, this is not

309
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: no fluco. He will return to practice in the preseason,

310
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: but he's not expected to play in the games the

311
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: ray And announced in a statement. Um The Baltimore Ravens

312
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: also announced the plan is for Flacco to be the

313
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Week one starting quarterback on September ten against the Cincinnati Bengals.

314
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Of course, uh, Mark Sessler Flacco dealing with a back injury.

315
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: This is a little bit of a murky situation too.

316
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: I feel like back injuries are always massively unpredictable, and

317
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put Flacco out there in the preseason. At

318
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: the same time, I mean, this was meant that has

319
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: always been been harped on. Is not an issue, not

320
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: a big deal, going to be back right out there,

321
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: and it's an extending timeline now. They Jim Harbaugh literally

322
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: said Joe Flacco will definitely play during the season preseason

323
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: on August one, and now he's not. They also publicly

324
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: went out of their way to discredit Ian Rappaport's timeline

325
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: of three to six weeks for his back injury. When

326
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: they did that, and some other national reporters did too,

327
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: that was three weeks ago. Joe Flacco is not back

328
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: on the field, and it sounds like he will be.

329
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: They believe he'll be practicing at some point in the preseason.

330
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: But ian Ian proved to be a right and everything

331
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: that they've said so far has proven to be a lie.

332
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: And they did add another quarterback, by the way, not

333
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, but they dumped Dustin Vaughan and added a

334
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: journeyman Thad Lewis to the mix. So there's another new

335
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: quarterback there, but maybe not the one that people are expecting. Yeah,

336
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: they've got a problem at quarterback. And you know, one

337
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: of my takeaways from the first week of the preseason

338
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: is that coaches always want a backup quarterback who knows

339
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: the system and can help the starter. In the quarterback room,

340
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: they place a we know that just from following football.

341
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: They place a high priority on it. Bruce Arians really

342
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: drives that point home in his new book, The Quarterback Whisper.

343
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: But at what point is that familiarity and comfortability with

344
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: your backup quarterback not worth it. At what point are

345
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: you costing your team because you're underrating how how valuable

346
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: quarterback insurance is. We saw it with Ryan Mallett. You

347
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: could see it, the Cowboys with Kellen Moore, the Bills

348
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: with t J. Yates, the Titans with Matt Castle. These

349
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: guys are not good enough to be backup quarterbacks. Mal

350
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,479
Speaker 1: is just so not smoothed, like whatever. The opposite of

351
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: poised is like that that right that Brenne, that's Ryan

352
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: Mallet and he misses throws. And the Ravens they've had

353
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: the roughest preseason easily. They also lost a starting guard,

354
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: Alex Lewis for the season. Uh since we last talked,

355
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: So that's their third offensive lineman that was a potential

356
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: starter lost for the season. Since June one, Dan Hansis,

357
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: they have lost nine players for the season to suspension

358
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: or injury. Man, I tell you, it's a hard knocks

359
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: life here in the Ravens Nest. It's a shame because

360
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: I really loved what I saw out of their first

361
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: team defense the other night. They swarmed to the ball,

362
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: and they've got so many injuries on the offensive side

363
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: of the ball that I think that they're gonna be

364
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: undone by that. Moving on, the inevitable is our reality.

365
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill will not play a snap in two thousand seventeen.

366
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: The Dolphins quarterback. Uh, we'll undergo uh surgery to repair

367
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: that a c L tear in his left knee, rap

368
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: Sheet reported on Friday. Miami Herald first had it. Miami

369
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: placed Tannehill on injured reserve on Saturday morning. Surgery scheduled

370
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: for next week. If everything goes to plan, he should

371
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: be ready for um, you know, summer activities, maybe even

372
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: spring activities next year. Uh. We don't know if that

373
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: will be with the Dolphins, but that's something to study

374
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: down the line. So it is now, Jay Cutler moving forward, Greg,

375
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: here we go. It should be fun and and for

376
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Ryan Tanneill should be fun for me at least

377
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: watching Jay Cutler. And for Ryan Tannehill, he's reportedly been

378
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: very helpful with Jake Cutler and and all that. But

379
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: there has to be part of in thinking, well, if

380
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: this team goes to the playoffs, is this my team?

381
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: Because I don't know, I don't know if it will

382
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: be any It's like he would be very tradeable though

383
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: as as valuable as quarterbacks are in this league, like

384
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: if if they didn't want him next year, they could

385
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: trade him. It's not the Teddy Bridgewater scenario in terms

386
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: of the grizzly nature of the injury or the or

387
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: the cloudy future. But it does show you that, you know,

388
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, Ryan Tannehill was a guy you thought, well,

389
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: he and Gaze could ride this out for another three

390
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: or four years potentially, And now you have no idea

391
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: who's going to be the quarterback next next year's Week one.

392
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: I also wondered behind the scenes where Ryan Tannehill's at

393
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: with how this was all handled. Uh. Maybe he was

394
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: as aggressive as anyone else trying to rehab and move forward.

395
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: Or maybe there's some bitterness between the two sides about

396
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: how this played out, costing the season of his prime.

397
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: In any event, Uh uh, this will be now a

398
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: major test in the Tannehill Miami relations. I don't take

399
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: him to be a bitter man. If you recall I

400
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: once utterly crushed his wife's purse under my shoe, and

401
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: he and his wife handled it very with poise, as

402
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: Greg would say. For a couple of years when we

403
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: were under the boss on the management structure. We covered

404
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: the the Honors NFL Honors red carpet the night before

405
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. By far, my least favorite assignment to

406
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: ever have to work, because you would all these guys

407
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: would be bringing their wives and girlfriends and have their

408
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: favorite suit that they just bought for like thirty dollars,

409
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: and they'd be parading around their their lady and it's

410
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: just this whole fun scene. And then we're like, do

411
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: you think it'll be a salary camp casual? Thank some

412
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: CAPRONI asking a totally vanilla question. Excuse me, why do

413
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: you think about the draft of prospects that could endanger

414
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: your starting job next spring? It's like what I once

415
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: waited forty five minutes with Ryan, with Russell Wilson and

416
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: his agent and one of these events to try to

417
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: get some sort of post up before leaving. Got the interview,

418
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: a nice three minute long interview, a lot of information.

419
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Look down, I'd never turned the recorder on. God, what

420
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: am I doing here? Because that's what everyone was looking

421
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: for the night before the Super Bowl, the right up

422
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: of whatever is going to come out of that heat

423
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: seeking interview. Um those days are over, hopefully, UM, Greg,

424
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: we were you were just doing your job as the

425
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: ball Well, actually it was pretty correct. Yeah, you had

426
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: that job before I came along, and eventually you got

427
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: out of it while I still wasn't charged. By the way,

428
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm still going to NFL honors. Granted I'm not going

429
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: on the red carpet, but my goal never go. I

430
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: think you're going to achieve that. Um. Finally in the news,

431
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews. You know this is so Buffalo. Uh. They

432
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: trade Sammy Watkins to l A. H. In a corresponding move,

433
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: they trade for Jordan Matthews to become their number one

434
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and almost immediately the guy exits the picture.

435
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't know for how long, but Matthew sustained a

436
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: chip fracture. That doesn't sound good in a stern um.

437
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: How do you chip your stern um? The hell's going

438
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: on around here with the old human body? Uh. During

439
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: his first practice with the club. According to an official

440
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: statement made by the Bills, he is listed as week

441
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: to week. And I don't have to tell you guys

442
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: that when you are traded uh deep into training camp

443
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: and they are expecting you to have a major role

444
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: on the team and you need to get reps and

445
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: you need to get in to the mix, and your

446
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: first practice you break your chest. That's not good, not

447
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: good at all. If fortunately they have a really deep

448
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: depth chart at slot receiver, they just don't have any

449
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: outside receivers. They there and you never know. Some Sometimes

450
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: the consistent reports that like one side of the ball

451
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: just isn't working, it proves it's not that big a deal.

452
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: The Bills, though, since basically the first day of training camp,

453
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: the reporters there have said how much the offense is struggled,

454
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: the Tyra Taylor's struggling, and they're just it's not clicking yet.

455
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: I think this also points out one of the things

456
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: Brandon being their GM, noticed about the roster when he

457
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: took over. It's incredibly shallow and if if a few

458
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: players go down, they are one of the worst teams

Speaker 1: and Friday. Eight more to go. So let's go, right,

470
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: did I have that right? Everything? Check out sounds right

471
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: to mailed it nailed it. So let's go down the

472
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: list and uh again, we're not going to dive into

473
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: although I personally will be tracking the preseason standings fairly

474
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: closely to see who will rise above all by the

475
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: time the dust clears in the first week of September,

476
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: for the rest of the people that listen to this

477
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: podcast and in this room, I know it's more important

478
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: to just to have um kind of takeaways from the games.

479
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 1: So we'll try to marry that. We'll try to balance

480
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: out what what some people want to know about the

481
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: precinct games, what people like me want to know about

482
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: who won and who lost, and what does it mean

483
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: who's on the hot seat, things like that. Um, let's start, Uh, well,

484
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: let's start. I'm gonna go right kind of through it.

485
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: We'll start with Pittsburgh and New York Giants. Not not

486
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: the the sauciest game, but West is nodding his head.

487
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: He's got to take about the Steelers at the Giants.

488
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: Go ahead, West, get his going. This was one of

489
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: my favorite games to watch. I think the Steelership play

490
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: the Giants every year. I thought their game last year

491
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: in the regular season was fun to watch too. T J. Wat.

492
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: I heard Greg talking before the show that if you

493
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: just look at the two sacks, maybe you're not then

494
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: impressed with him. I thought the second sack when the

495
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: left tackle missed the block, was still very impressive. His

496
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: change of direction. A lot of a lot of pass

497
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: rushers missed the quarterback on that, he got to him quickly,

498
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: threw him down violently. And if you watch the rest

499
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: of that game, t J. What was living in the

500
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: backfield hitting quarterbacks More than the sacks. He hit the

501
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: quarterback a couple more times, knockdown the pass. He's the

502
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: real deal. He's gonna be an every down player, the

503
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: pitt Pittsburgh Post Gazette said today, and James Harrison is

504
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a relief pitcher. But I think t J.

505
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: Watt made more plays in his first preseason game than

506
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: Jarvis Jones made him four years in Pittsburgh. There was Wow,

507
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: there was a play for all Jarvis, sorry double j.

508
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: There was a play. The two sacks are obviously impressive,

509
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: and that's what people are gonna pay attention to. There

510
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: was another play in the first half where he did

511
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: the J. J. Watt thing where he chased down a

512
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: ball carrier on the far side of the field and

513
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: actually made the tackle near the sideline. Uh. He just

514
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: he just and he also has Now we're not gonna

515
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: say he's gonna be J. J. Watt, but he had

516
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: to me like, you reminded me of the way his

517
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: gate and the way he was. He looks like his brother,

518
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: Like how your brother and you would have similar mannerisms. Uh,

519
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: looks like we got a winner there, I thought, outside

520
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: of Mitchell Drabinsky, he was the second most impressive person

521
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: I saw a weekend. That's too early to get riled up.

522
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: It would be wild if the NFL criminally undrafted a

523
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: second watch brother. I mean, if you watch that game,

524
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: he under drafted issues. He looks like the real deal,

525
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna step in day one as a three

526
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: down starter, not the real deal, Geno Smith. I don't

527
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: think we need to dig any deeper. How dare you

528
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: I saw I saw? Did you tweeted something like he'll

529
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: he'll give up? Or you texted I am done with that.

530
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: You'll you'll give up on being a Gino fan after this,

531
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: after he watches this one. First of all, this was

532
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: a classic Geno game. A couple of great throws. Are

533
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: you a fan of classic Geno? That's a couple, and

534
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: then one head scratcher scratching through a second interception that

535
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: got waved up there the one. The one thing he's

536
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: got going for him is he's going up against Josh Johnson,

537
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: who might have had the worst three series of any quarterback.

538
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: Uh and reportedly he's winning that battle well. And he

539
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: like got miss games and the Giants. I mean, you know,

540
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: I know what the fall off is between Eli and

541
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: Geno Smith at this point. You're right, it was the

542
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: perfect Geno game because he comes out there and right

543
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: away you see the difference between him and Josh Johnson

544
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: because he can pass and he's out there peacocking around.

545
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: There's a bounce in his staff. He's throwing these play

546
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: fakes with a little bit of flur a little bit

547
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: of flour and flourish, and you're like, look at Geno's confidence,

548
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: and then he throws a brainless interception. It takes a

549
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: few sacks, just unravels in front of you, and you're like,

550
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: maybe he's not the perfect backup quarterback. After that's when

551
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: I texted you, Greg, I don't miss him. I can

552
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: tell you that. And also it did flash through my mind,

553
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: not that it would ever happened. I don't and I

554
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: don't want to step on something an announcement you're gonna

555
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: make later, Mark, But there is a scenario just because

556
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: it could play out because he's on the team. If

557
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: Geno Smith ever led the Giants to a Super Bowl title,

558
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: that would be my sports fan nine level, that is,

559
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: that would be for you, a horrendous, you know occurrence.

560
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: Moving on, Oh, by the way, before we move on,

561
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: Chris Boswell hit a thirty seven yard field go to

562
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: put the Steelers ahead eight and then Terrell Watson at

563
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard run to ice the game a twenty

564
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: to twelve Pittsburgh win. Off to a nice one or

565
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: start and a road win, which is always important to

566
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: get shows of the team as mental fortitude. Moving on,

567
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went to Cincinnati and uh, Mark,

568
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: you are all excited about Joe Mixon. Well, I I

569
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: do think that number one. When you talk about Trabisky,

570
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: you talk about what those two debuts, you couldn't have

571
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: asked for anymore. Joe Mixon to me, who really didn't

572
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: play nearly as long as as those guys did. This

573
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: is special running back and I understand the circumstances of

574
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: why he was someone who fell in the draft steeply,

575
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: but he's a top five draft talent this year's class,

576
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: no question about it. I thought watching him a there

577
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: were two plays that stuck out in my mind. One

578
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: where he caught the ball out of the backfield and

579
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: three Tampa Bay defenders were just flicked off him until

580
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: the fourth finally brought him down. I mean, he's a

581
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: natural pass catcher who is going to be an incredibly

582
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: amazing element to that offensive. Second thing, when he ran

583
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: the ball at one point hand off, he had a

584
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: little bit of a levy on bell type patients where

585
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: he saw what was ahead of him and then the

586
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: speed came and he darted right through the defense. I

587
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: think this guy is someone that you could even think

588
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: about trading away Hill if you needed to, if someone

589
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: gotten real deep, deep trouble at running back. This guy

590
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: is an immediate Week one starter. Yeah, fair warning for

591
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: the listeners. Every time we talk about Joe Mixon throughout

592
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: the season, we are not gonna in the domestic violence

593
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: element and address that before we talk about the football

594
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: part of right, because and we've already done this a

595
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: few times. I mean, he he looks about as talented

596
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: as any running back I think that's come into the

597
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: league in the last handful of years. It just it

598
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: just leaps off the page in college and he looked

599
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: like the same guy. Um, and I'm gonna say, you know,

600
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's final pass of the game was not a

601
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: good one, his interception, but right before that interception and

602
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill was running well on the first drive, and

603
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: then we saw obviously the stuff from mixing and then

604
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: you factor in a j green and healthy Tyler rightfor

605
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of sneaky in on the Cincinnati Bengals

606
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: and watching that game, I was getting a little pumped

607
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: up about their prospects, especially if the Ravens continue to

608
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: have the fortune of like essentially twelve twelve dead people.

609
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: John Ross practiced fully for the first time on Monday,

610
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: So that's a good sign for them. They're dead people

611
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: have poor was my thought was coming to an end.

612
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: I had to get out of there. That offensive line

613
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: needs a real test before I'm buying in. How depressing

614
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: is it um for me that I was genuinely wistful

615
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: when Ryan Fitzpatrick scrambled into the end zone for a

616
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: touchdown in the second half of this game. Well, I

617
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: think the Bucks are are wistful of their quarterback situation

618
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: before this game, because Ryan Griffin got hurt and reportedly

619
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, who who I should take it back, maybe

620
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: had a worse three drive stretch than Josh Johnson did.

621
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: Was kind of embarrassing. You know how to stop it? Oh? No,

622
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean he had an embarrassing stretch of decisions and

623
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: fumbles and sacks. They were talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick in

624
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: that game. Did we watch the same game and then

625
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: adown drive? Yeah, early, and then he don't think he

626
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: was well had a rough, rough stretch. He was reportedly

627
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: losing this battle to Ryan Griffin. That Ryan Griffin was

628
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: the favorite and they're the local reporters thought Fitzpatrick might

629
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: not make the team, but Griffin got hurt in this game,

630
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: and so now it's gonna I think Fitzpatrick's the kind

631
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: of guy that just says I refused to take the

632
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: preseason seriously. I think he's one of the best backups

633
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: in the league. Thank you, Wes Josh Malone. By the way,

634
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: an eight yard passed from Jeff driscoll. That is what

635
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: really broke this game open. And then Randy Bullock at

636
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: a forty nine yard field goal, big bone, Randy Gettinger

637
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: done win for the Cincinnati Banka. Um, who Randy, what

638
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: do you mean he's he's just split the uprights from

639
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: fifty out. As soon as the lights come on, he's

640
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: gonna miss it. Stop fat shaming. I'm not. It's just

641
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: that I've seen Randy Bullock and and I've seen this

642
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: act moving on. The San Francisco forty Niners in Kansas

643
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: City Chiefs played football. Um, I don't know who wants

644
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: to jump in with something here, I got some and

645
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: we got Patrick Mahomes. Not not a finished product by

646
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: any stretch at this point. You see things breakdown occasionally,

647
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: but the arm I I sometimes you know how like

648
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: in high school, every guy like the same one girl,

649
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: and then you find out, no, I'm going to go

650
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: in a different direction. Everyone has the same five or

651
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: six players they love, Oh this player, and it's endlessly

652
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: carouseled around at NFL dot Com and network and Fantasy

653
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: football blah blah blah. I like to find my own

654
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: little guys that get me excited. And we're not gonna

655
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: see Patrick Mahomes for quite a bit. And wasn't it.

656
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: Wasn't he like the most popular, I would say, the

657
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: most popular draft quarterback. I'm carving him out. He's mine

658
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: starting right now. Here's the thing, I honestly, I understand

659
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: that ideally you don't play in all the season, But

660
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: if Alex Smith and I and justin with my days

661
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith have come to an end, who marched

662
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: his team into the end zone and Alex Smith looks fine,

663
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: there's no reason, There's no reason, the beautiful there's no

664
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: reasons slide him aside. I'm just saying, when when they start,

665
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: if they encounter trouble, if the team, if things don't

666
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: go as planned, I would love to see Mahomes play

667
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: in a regular season. Are you hinting at Patrick Mahomes

668
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: being in the Quarterback of the future in Kansas City. Yes,

669
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: I am. I saw marks tweets before I saw this game,

670
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: and the game went so much differently because I was

671
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: watching this on television and NFL never kept switching back

672
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter of this ridiculous Giants game for

673
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: some reason, so I missed chunks of Mahomes. When I

674
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: watched later, I thought, oh, my tweets were a little aggressive,

675
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: but I love his arms. Doesn't matter that the entire

676
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: secondary was made up of ups, drivings and club bouncers.

677
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: By the time he got in the game. His first pass,

678
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't know it got called back by his arm

679
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: is live, man. I just love his arms. He looks

680
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: for a little frenetic right now, but he's young. He

681
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: already passed Tyler Bray, so he's officially their backups. I

682
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: mean the idea the Chiefs having an exciting quarterback. I

683
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: like that concept. That's certainly fair, and you would wonder

684
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: how tempted they will be if Alex Smith goes into

685
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: one of his you know, Smith type funk where he's

686
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: really uninspiring, will they be tempted maybe get maybe get

687
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: Patrick in the game a little earlier the rest of

688
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: the preseason. I don't want to see Tyler Bray playing

689
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: ahead of him. You won't be they they officially elevated

690
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: him in practice after this. I was excited. If you're

691
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: a forty Niners fan, their two first round rookie picks

692
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: both showed out well in this game. If you're watching

693
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: deep in the third quarter, you got Solomon Thomas running

694
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: from one hash mark as a defensive tackle all the

695
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: way to the other sidelines. You don't see that too much,

696
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: and just blasting a guy forcing a couple of punts,

697
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: and those two I think are going to be starting

698
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: Week one. What else you don't see too much? The

699
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco four to nine are ripping, ripping off eighteen

700
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: unanswered in the fourth quarter to secure seven to seven win.

701
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: Tough loss at home at Arrowhead to start to see

702
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: j Bethard with two touchdowns leading, It's really gonna test

703
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: their metal losing that August game in their own state.

704
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: I think what you saw here is just toughness. Kyle saying,

705
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: an open camp with nine consecutive padded practice to go.

706
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: Speaking of showing out, let's move to the medal lands

707
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: or the New York Jets opened their preseason. There are

708
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: there's a lot of adorable buzz being bandied about about

709
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: the Jets going oh and sixteen, So people were perhaps surprised,

710
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,240
Speaker 1: But um, people were perhaps surprised that the Jets looked

711
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: at times, especially on the defensive side of the ball,

712
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: competent against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans couldn't get anything

713
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: going against the Jets first first team defense. But I

714
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: guess Christian Hackenburg was the big story in this game. Uh,

715
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: he didn't make any big plays, but he didn't look lost.

716
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: He didn't kill anybody on the sideline with Aaron throws.

717
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: And I guess it speaks to where the where the

718
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: bar is with Christian Hackenburg. But but he looked real.

719
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: He looked like a real backup. But he looked real. Yeah.

720
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 1: I thought he made two mistakes. He had a tipped pass,

721
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: which is not a huge deal, but he lost a

722
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: snap that the Titans recovered. Other than that very bland um,

723
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, there's not a lot to like or dislike

724
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: about what we saw from Hackenburg. I just think that

725
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: what did he throw for five point? When you're they

726
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: were having him throw the ball like four ft per tempt.

727
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean he was a little ridiculous. You got hit

728
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: with a couple of drops. Uh, Because again that's one

729
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: of the tricky things about the Jets makeup of this rosters.

730
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: How do you going to really figure out how your

731
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks look when these guys don't get separation and can't

732
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: catch the ball. But I thought he was fine. I

733
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: just the opening team looked good in the account. I mean,

734
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: you'd have to make an incredible argument from account not

735
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: to just be the week one started, no questions asked. Yeah,

736
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: there was not a hot take from this game with Hackenburg,

737
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: but the coaches were very clearly just trying to like

738
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: build his confidence with baby step. Some of the positive

739
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: reaction you know failed to you know, mentioned that they

740
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: crossed the fifth yard line one time I think, and

741
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: they didn't score in eight drive. So it was not

742
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: a good performance. It just wasn't a bad performance. And

743
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: play quarterback, he was a wet nurse. I didn't let

744
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: him do anything dump off up offs and check the

745
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: whole time. A couple of times where he had to

746
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: do something a little more advanced, you know, eyes downfield

747
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: there are Russia's coming at him, or go through his

748
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: lee read and throw deeper. Those those players did not work,

749
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: so so you you want to see more out of him,

750
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: But it could have been. He was definitely it was

751
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: definitely better than he was a year ago. Like you

752
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: could tell, he's a significant he's a different clue. There

753
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: is some progress in his development. And I guess to

754
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: me it's another example of why everyone is in such

755
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: a rush to write a final judgment about this guy.

756
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: One way or the other, it was he was such

757
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: an embarrassment last year because he didn't play, and now

758
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: this year after he was one game where he doesn't

759
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: embarrass himself, It's like, wow, Christian he where he was

760
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: a real surprise on Saturday. It's like, no, it wasn't really,

761
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: he was just he kind of was more or less

762
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: the same guy. Let's I want to see him get

763
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: um snaps against the first team defense before the preseason ends.

764
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it happens, but that would be

765
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: a nice test. Forms say, one thing, this the whole

766
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: scam for Sam Let's go oh in sixteen thing I

767
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: do question it's and it's not just based off this game.

768
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: Is some of the talent they have in the front

769
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: seven and the way that Leonard Williams looked in this game.

770
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: He was dominant. They completely destroyed the Titans from beginning

771
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: to end. I don't know if the defense is going

772
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: to allow you to go, oh in sixteen, you're gonna

773
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: win some games like this. The seven to three type score.

774
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: There were more drives than first downs. This was a terror.

775
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: This was if you cannot watch one game for the

776
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: rest of your life. I'm a little gonna take too

777
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: many takeaways away from Alex Tanney, right. Marcus Mariota and

778
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: they knocked him out of the game for a bit.

779
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: It's great that Marcus Mariotto is out there playing fully,

780
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: looked quick, didn't make a great decision, but the fact

781
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: that he's out there is a little under the radar.

782
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: He was one of these guys that had the serious

783
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: injury at the end of last year. He's full go

784
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: he's looking you know, he's right, he's looking full speed

785
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: in terms of his house. So that's a pretty big positive.

786
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: Jets going seven and nine. I hope not, but I

787
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: was a little bit alarmed. Football Outsiders Almanac. I was

788
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: reading up on their right up about the Jets. They

789
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: have them, and you know they do a lot of

790
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, breakdown statistically and and and how they get

791
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: to what they expect for a win total. They have

792
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: him at about six and ten, which is not going

793
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: to get a job done. I do not want six

794
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: and A lot has to go right, I'll go one

795
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: in fifteen, a lot like Cleveland very came within three

796
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: plays of being four and twelve last year. Right. The

797
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: difference between Yeah, difference between six and ten, uh in

798
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: three and thirteen is really not a lot. So there

799
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: is some reverse luck that you need. We'll see what

800
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: happens with I'm sure will not work out just by

801
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: based on the history of the franchise. Moving on, the

802
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, a big win for the Jets. Top Yes,

803
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,959
Speaker 1: look out, New England Patriots. The Jets put up seven

804
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: on that first drive and then the defense just held court.

805
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: A seven, three win sit down. Be humble, Marcus Mariota.

806
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 1: Not often you getta win when you have you score

807
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: once and then have thirteen straight scoreless drives you hold on.

808
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: It's like a baseball game. We're talking bears here, potentially

809
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: with the Jets. I never thought the Patriots would have

810
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: to come from behind to win that division. They're being

811
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: tested let's face it, one week into the preseason, moving

812
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 1: on the Dallas Cowboys, Uh face the Los Angeles Ramps

813
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: and Chris Westling, what was your biggest takeaway from that game?

814
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush looked a lot better than Kellen Moore. Cooper Rush,

815
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ever going to be an

816
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: NFL backup, but made some great throws. Rico Gathers, their

817
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: tight end who hadn't played football since eighth grade and

818
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: was still so talented that he got drafted anyway, Baylor's

819
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: all time leady rebounder has made big plays in two

820
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: straight games. I don't think he's gonna have a big

821
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: role this year, but he could end up being the

822
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: guy who succeeds Jason Wittn at tight end for the Cowboys.

823
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: All due respect to um Boomers size some one of

824
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: my boyhood heroes, but Kellen Moore is not making a

825
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: good case for the lefty quarterback which is close to extinction.

826
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: I think he's at least last year he was the

827
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: only one in the league and he spent the season

828
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: on our are It just don't look right. Let's be

829
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: honest here, just be honest. Here, see him Kellen Moore

830
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: does at because he's a left there. I'll just keep

831
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: it real here. I mean they should be worried that

832
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a two thousand fifteen situation again. Yeah,

833
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: if if they had an injury at quarterback, this team

834
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: would have a chance loss. Over my point, you tell

835
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 1: me it looks normal, It looks like I think it'd

836
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: be cool. I'm I'm it's looking like Walker my son

837
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: is left hand and I'm thinking, oh, that's big. He

838
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: could be like a relief pitcher. He can give matchup problem.

839
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: You know, lefty tennis players are tough to deal with,

840
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: like whatever sport. Being Roberto type, I'm saying that it's

841
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: an advantage though. Todd Gurley, by the way, it's obviously

842
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: a tiny sample in this game, but just seeing him

843
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: drop behind the lines several more times, it's like, I

844
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: can only imagine what's going on and said he's like,

845
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: I am not going through another season of this. They

846
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: need to block for that. This may be the game

847
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: not to watch. Twenty one first downs and nine fumbles

848
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: in this game, which is outrageous. They had five fumbles

849
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: in the first half. The NFL preseason is such a

850
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: terrible product, and Roger Goodell knows it. He keeps talking

851
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: about that we need to shorten the preseason and watching

852
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday night the games you were covering, Mark really

853
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: hammered at home. How add the first week is and

854
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: how point like Rico Gathers was the number one takeaway

855
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: west in the Dallas papers, I would say for the

856
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: second straight week. So that's your number one takeaway is, Hey,

857
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: this guy looks like he's probably going to make the

858
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: team as a backup tight end. Well, and that's the

859
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: number one takeaway, Like the stakes are so low and

860
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: and all those fans show up and they watched Jared

861
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: Goff have eight snaps like Jared Goff couldn't use that takeaway?

862
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: Why why doesn't that ire starting offense that is not overachieved?

863
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: And since essentially the late nineties, how about you play

864
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: more than more than two series? It's it's it's by

865
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: the way. Some some people cannot even go to regular

866
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: season games. You go to a preseason game. You want

867
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: to do a better product. Don't put him out there.

868
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: All these people in Jared goff jerseys watching him essentially

869
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: played for five minutes and he's out. But what's the solution?

870
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know they're getting rid. Getting rid of a

871
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: preseason game is going to happen. It's a question of

872
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: whether it's gonna be two or three. But it has

873
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: to be collectively bargained with the players, because because Goodell

874
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: is really against you're making the Cowboys play five of

875
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: these games, but they're not playing them. They're playing two.

876
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, think of it. They they got five games,

877
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: but their main players are only gonna play two. They're

878
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna sit out the process of the team and go

879
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: through five weeks of the preseason. I mean, I get

880
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: that they're benching almost everyone. It's interesting to Belichick is

881
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: already kind of have ahead of the curve and he's

882
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: putting all this stock in preseason scrimmages against other teams

883
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: and then resting almost everyone important during the game. He's

884
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: scrimmaging against other teams three straight weeks. No other team

885
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: in the league is doing that twice even And remember

886
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: this is a time the way technology is now and

887
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: and the advancements made in televisions and the home viewing

888
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: experience where getting people to go to the games is

889
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: starting to become more of a challenge. The fact that

890
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: you you're getting charged full price for two preseason games.

891
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: If you're a season ticket holder, you could definitely make

892
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: the argument they deserve a better product if you're gonna

893
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: charge them like it's a regular game. Shout out to

894
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: our co workers Andrews Siciliano and Daniel Jeremiah doing a

895
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: good job on this telecast. Marshall, Marshall, why not, Marha

896
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't know who any of us are. He was good.

897
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't need a great care who we are either.

898
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: That's that's true. Dan Helly did a nice job with

899
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Jets game as well. Good to see everybody.

900
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: Charles Davis two doing so well all around us. Moving

901
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: on the Oakland Raiders. Uh face the Arizona Cardinals, and oh,

902
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: I should tell you it's a thirteen ten win for

903
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: the Rams. Travis Coon's I mean six eleven to play.

904
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: This is where heroes are made. Drills, A thirty six

905
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: yard field goal. That was the difference. Thirteen tis the

906
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: last two minutes. You know, people complain about the last

907
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: two minutes of NBA games, t in roughly like the

908
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,919
Speaker 1: last two minutes of this thing. I was begging someone

909
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: on the news tas just to kill me with a

910
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: bow and arrow. From across the room. I mean, it

911
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: could not have taken longer to end itself. I mean,

912
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: what a bus opportunity though. For the Cowboys we talked

913
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: about they're getting an extra of five, They're getting an

914
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: extra game, So five and oh would have won the title.

915
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: And now with this last it's even worse. Not only that,

916
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: now you can win out and still not be the champ.

917
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: Lack of lack of planning on their part, lack of foresight. Yeah,

918
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: maybe next time Dak Prescott's out there in the fourth quarter.

919
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, Uh, Moving forward the Cardinals and the

920
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: Raiders West, this was a game where you wanted to

921
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: see all those Cardinals veterans looking spry and making plays

922
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: and and I feel like you're happy if your Cardinals

923
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: fan based on what you saw. I think you're happy

924
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: about Honey Badger being Honey Badger again. We've seen signs

925
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: that it was happening in training camp, and he was

926
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: pretty active in the few snaps he played. Uh in

927
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: the first quarter of this game. And Uh, I think

928
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: Robert Kim kim d J. Look two games in a row,

929
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: Kim d check him, d ch What did you fall

930
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: out that wind? Though? Kim d J, km d J,

931
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: k m d J. Make sure you jumped through this

932
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: window of opportunity. It's kind of like a Bonnie Tyler

933
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: was Yeah, new places there, thank you. That is not

934
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: Bonnie Tyler. That is a piano representation of what her

935
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: music might sound him. Just to be clear with everyone,

936
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: but Kim d J second week ago, looking good two games,

937
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: and I think that defense is interesting when someone like that,

938
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: we don't know if he's gonna if he's going to

939
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: develop the way they wanted to. You're getting honey badger back.

940
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: Kim d J looked blowing people up at the line

941
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: ending drives. It's an interesting defense. Carson Palmer missed a

942
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: gimme layup touchdown to John Brown, but then came back

943
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: uh and punched the ball in the end zone. So

944
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: he gave you what you were looking for. Uh at

945
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Any other thoughts, guys, No,

946
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: this was another one of the there worse than this

947
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,439
Speaker 1: was a lot. There were some games that were fun

948
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: to watch, but this was not one of the headline

949
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: like the takeaways in Oakland on this one was like

950
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: e J Manuel probably gonna be the backup, Like that's

951
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: the that's the biggest news. That's not worth the game. Um,

952
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals jumped out to that seven nothing lead.

953
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: It was a lead they never relinquished. Final score in

954
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: the desert the Raiders fall to oh and one. And

955
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: you wonder if there's a little bit of a questions

956
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: about Marshawn Lynch, whether he is somebody that can be

957
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: a leader on this team now windless after a week. Yeah,

958
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't involved on even one play, so

959
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: his impact, you know, hard to measure. Moving on, the

960
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: Lions and Cults played a football game, and Uh, somebody

961
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: in this room is excited about a wide receiver for

962
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: the Lions. I know that. Who is it? Somebody? It

963
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: was me, that's us. Kenny Golladay, who has been hyped

964
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: consistently since offseason practice has started. Actually, a lot of

965
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: people liked him in the draft too. He's been hyped

966
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: by the fantasy community and he's been living up to

967
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: it in training camp and in this game. He makes plays.

968
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: He's big, Uh, he's athletic, and the thing that stands

969
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: out to me is he has really good hands. He's

970
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: not just a physical freak kind of guy. Yeah, he

971
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: had three catches two touchdowns, and they were all contested, difficult,

972
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: somewhat acrobatic catches, and and then I immediately thought he

973
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: was catching those from old Jake Ruddock. But he's gonna

974
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: be catching it from a quarterback in Matthew Stafford. Oh yeah,

975
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: you know Jakie rudd Uh, he's got Matthew Stafford loves

976
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: just throwing the ball up for players, for his receivers

977
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: to go make plays. And and he in Goladay. Seems

978
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: like when you get that much hype every portion of

979
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: the off season, then you start to buy into it.

980
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: By the way, behind the glass Sully, one quick takeaway

981
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: from this game. When Peyton Manning played at Lucas Oil Stadium,

982
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: I remember one time at the at the Combines, someone

983
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: that worked there basically told us he would never allow

984
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: that roof to be opened. That he he it is

985
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: essentially is not used because he was the quarterback. Now

986
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: they're opening it up a little bit and the sun

987
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: shining down on Detroit's new uniforms. Their uniforms, to me,

988
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: were the nicest looking I saw in the entire week

989
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: of preseason action. Look beautiful except for one little thing.

990
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: Little lions etched across the sleeve. Don't need that, but

991
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: they just looked fantastic. Put the Lions outside enough with

992
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: his dome. That's a hot take right there. Scott Tolzine

993
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: is a lost waiting to happen. Can't let him start

994
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: a game. He's devolving because he was someone that Mike

995
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy absolutely loved back in Green Bay. And what's what

996
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: is there to love from what we're seeing now? Um

997
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: Troy Mayne Pope had a one yard run, capping a

998
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: fourteen play ninety yard drive for the Colts as time

999
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: expired in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough for

1000
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: the Lions, who are one a night. Good job, guys. Finally,

1001
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: that's a rare walk off. That's down to make the

1002
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: scar ten a loss. You don't see it a lot.

1003
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 1: You do not see it a lot. Finally, the Seahawks

1004
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: traveled to the stub Hub Center and UM got got

1005
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: going in a twenty five thousand UM venue person venue.

1006
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: I can't talk anymore, which was an interesting site to

1007
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: say the least. It was weird not to watch an

1008
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: NFL game without a third tier that that felt kind

1009
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 1: of like as the trip uh to me and and

1010
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: earlier reports so that was a fun scene to be

1011
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: at people at work here that went to the game.

1012
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: But let's talk about some takeaways from the game. Greg

1013
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls is the guy to talk about. He's been

1014
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: running with the starters throughout camp, and he ran with

1015
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: the starters on Sunday night, and I'm not taking that

1016
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: much away from veteran play. He looked good. Eddie Lacy

1017
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: looked fine too, in in a backup role. But I

1018
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: think you can learn from the rotations and that if

1019
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: Rawls right now is the starter, and I I expect

1020
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 1: he'll be the starter going into the season as he

1021
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: should be agreed a running back to Eddie Lacy and

1022
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't think we were honking about it back in

1023
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: May pick him up in your fantasy drafts. He's getting

1024
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: drafted way behind Lacey. I think he I think he's

1025
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: a better runner. To prush your fingers that he stays

1026
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: on the field until Eddie Lacy gets it down to

1027
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: about two forty pounds, which he was his rookie in

1028
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: his second year in the league, when he had really

1029
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: quick feet and was good in the passing game. He

1030
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: shouldn't play over Thomas Rowles. What did you guys think

1031
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: of well, one note, I like this Seahawks tight end

1032
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Lucas a little bit triguing little player at a

1033
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,240
Speaker 1: nice catch, but um one other thing. That's why if

1034
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: it's Cardil Jones looked up at his eyes like panicked,

1035
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: like wait, came off before Marcus Lucas came in on

1036
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: two targets early in the game. He didn't, he didn't

1037
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: know I missed him. Interesting catch, but you're saying he flashed,

1038
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: flashed baby, Cardil Jones. I this guy is huge and

1039
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: he can move like he's he showed some speed outside

1040
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: the pocket. Those good I I wonder what will happen

1041
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: with him, because I don't think you can trust as

1042
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: a backup at all right now, but maybe with a

1043
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: couple more years. Yeah, he's the number three and the

1044
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: Chargers previously have been keeping two quarterbacks. That doesn't bode

1045
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: well for either him or your boy Bercovici. But Kellen

1046
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: Clemens being terrible does pretty well. They used tiresome. Your

1047
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: boy Paul Richardson got hurt in this game after an

1048
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: amazing catch. I think it might have been on that

1049
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: amazing catch, I don't know. And now he's going to

1050
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: be out for some time. Sounds like multiple weeks, and

1051
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: that that's a thin, thin receiver group that could really

1052
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: use Richardson to be a consistent factor, and now they're

1053
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: they're not gonna have him for a little bit. The

1054
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks had three quarterbacks. All three of their quarterbacks post

1055
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: to passer rating over one hundred. You know what that means,

1056
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: baby blowout city win. Uh spoiling the Chargers debut in

1057
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Mark, finally, you had the final addendum to

1058
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: this recap of the preseason. You had some type of vision.

1059
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 1: I believe I had a vision. I was at a

1060
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: place called the Irish Times, and so I'm not sure

1061
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: this is a trusty vision, but I'm sticking with it.

1062
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: I saw the Super Bowl and it included two teams,

1063
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers from the a f C and

1064
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: from the NFC, the New York Giants. Logical, no, but

1065
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: we'll see weird things. This is your official Super Bowl prediction.

1066
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stick away. I don't want to see

1067
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: any NFL dot Com thing. I'm sticking with this from

1068
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: in every on all media platforms, where in past years

1069
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: I would just do seven or eight matchups and I'd

1070
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: get something, right. I am so tired of picking this.

1071
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: I picked the Steelers every freaking year in the a

1072
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: f C. They always disappoint our Patriots. Packers yawn. I'm

1073
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 1: just going with this rolling the dice, alright, So mark

1074
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: it down someone I noticed who wins. By the way,

1075
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I'm not gonna lie about my visions.

1076
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: I just saw them in the Super matchup. It's also

1077
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: kind of funny that if there was any Super Bowl,

1078
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 1: your prediction last year, of course, that that super would

1079
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: not have a winner. This feels like the season a

1080
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 1: year where there actually would not potentially be a Super

1081
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: Bowl given the current events in the world. But you're

1082
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: you're seeing an actual Super Bowl. Sometimes visions can be

1083
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: a year or two off. You don't know sure. I mean,

1084
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think probably he achieved a little bit

1085
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: more than I did in this field. But in his prediction.

1086
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: I remember this from an old Orson Wells special where

1087
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: he predicted that a great monster would rise up from

1088
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: humanity and his name was Hissed. Just missed it, well,

1089
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: just missed it, scold for Hitler got hissed there. Sometimes

1090
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: they're a year or two off, and sometimes they're just off. Well,

1091
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: someone what did Someone tweeted to West and said, you know,

1092
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: do you take stock in this? And you basically, you know,

1093
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: rightfully said huh. I said, it's it's important too to

1094
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: have a healthy respect for for Mark's visions, but don't

1095
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: take them his gospel truth a working respect. We did

1096
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: have a listener that actually like dialed up Vegas and

1097
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 1: put a bet on this super Bowl, So I respect that. Yeah,

1098
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: well we don't talk. Well that's their choice. I didn't

1099
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: make them do it, but I thought that that showed

1100
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: an incredible amount of faith. Good on you. There you go.

1101
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: So you heard it here first on August fourteen that

1102
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,439
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is set. Better not be Geno Smith

1103
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: in it. That's all I'm gonna say. Um, all right,

1104
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: that's it for today's pod. Remember the subreddit super contest

1105
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: work shopping the title of the contest still I like

1106
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: the sound of that, though, uh is coming up the

1107
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: trivia contest where you the listener could be on the

1108
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 1: show and could be the recipient of a grand prize.

1109
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: So all you have to do sign up for the

1110
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: subred if you haven't already. And yes, people are already

1111
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: reaching out trying to curry favor with the various members

1112
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL podcast team. I'm not saying

1113
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,240
Speaker 1: that that will work. I'm not saying that it won't work.

1114
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: Do what you gotta do. Um, even if that means

1115
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 1: just hoping you get plucked for obscurity on the board,

1116
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: or maybe you you make a stink and you get picked,

1117
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: or maybe we use that again, it's you a lot

1118
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: of ways, a lot of ways. All I know is

1119
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: this means Gregg has to go to the subreddit to

1120
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: get his town. That's really what the nature of this.

1121
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna go I'm gonna choose my

1122
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: ten from whoever it leaves Itune reviews with your email

1123
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: as an extra Itune review. How about that? Soulless and cunning?

1124
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: Do people who file iTunes reviews want to leave their email?

1125
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that works. I just was

1126
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: trying to know what you can do. That's a good

1127
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: idea because that will curry favor with the old zeuser

1128
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: to actually, so keep that in mind. If you leave

1129
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: an iTunes review and then at the end of it,

1130
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: just sign off with your subreddit handle, We'll take it

1131
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: from there. We'll figure it out from there right. All

1132
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: we need is the handles. Yeah, I think that's the handle.

1133
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,439
Speaker 1: Would be would be harder to track that person down.

1134
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: If you're just a person out there and wanting to

1135
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: destroy someone who left an iTunes review, you can't track

1136
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: them down, you know, don't leave people vulnerable. Greg Classic,
