1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where I'm still feeling conflicted about

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,239
Speaker 1: skipping the Oasis concert a couple of weeks. I'm Greg

3
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Rosenthal here in the Chris Westling podcast studio, very excited

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: to be talking about the six AFC games. Some include

5
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: the Lions. You know, it's if the AFC team is

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: at home, and yes, just to get it out of

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: the way there, Like I had, I had an end

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: to go to go to Oasis, but it and and

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: even like you know, good seats and what backstage and

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: all that, and it was the night before week one

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: and I was just like, eh, I don't really want to.

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: That's that's how dedicated Greg Rosenthal is.

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: Well, they're also a band that if this concert was

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: on any day pretty much most days the rest of

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: the season that was you know, convenient, or the rest

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: of the year that was convenient, would love to go.

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: On the other hand, not a band I was like

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: obsessed with as a kid or anything. I will say

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: that I got like drunk consistently for the first time

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: with no parental supervision while listening to Live Forever on

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: repeat for like an entire weekend. But I'm not like

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: a mega fan.

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: I do love the picture you've painted.

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a little a little gret you didn't go.

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 4: Also, sorry to the listeners. I think I blew out

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 4: everyone's ear drums. Just that shocked though, Greg, I mean

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 4: and also I love Oasis. You could have passed that

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 4: good vibe.

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't well, it wasn't one of those things. I

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: don't think I could have. It was like, wow, this

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: is excluse a connection, I guess, but.

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: Wow, what a freaking flex.

33
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: It's tricky though. It's okay. It's at the Rose Bowl.

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: It's gonna end at like twelve thirty, impossible to get

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: out of there. You're home by like one thirty. If

36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: it was like if Kurt Cobaine was alive and it

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: was Nirvana, I was trying to think of a band

38
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: that would be coming like but I'm not passionate enough

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: at this age to do despite.

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: A core memory.

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, well they were not going to play

42
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: live forever until like the you know, the end.

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Maybe just maybe just go for the end.

44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm talking about this right at

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: the top of like the best game of the year

46
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: so far.

47
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: Because it's worth it. It's worth it. Yes, let's get

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: to our am.

49
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: Because you missed maybe the best, one of the best

50
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: concerts of the year.

51
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: That's why a great game.

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: Could it be Oasis level? We'll find out.

53
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 5: The Detroit Lions making their visit to the Baltimore Ravens,

54
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 5: who are favored about four and a half points. The

55
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 5: over under is fifty one and a half. In the

56
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 5: last few seasons the Lions have had this opportunity to

57
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 5: play against the Baltimore Ravens. It has not gone well.

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 5: But maybe John Morton could be the one to save

59
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 5: the Lions. Greg Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Lisa Salters

60
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: and Laura Rutledge on the call for Monday Night Football.

61
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: Is John Morton the answer? Do they beat the Ravens?

62
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 1: I mean, are you just pouring a little salt good?

63
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: That was so good? That was that was amazing.

64
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 4: I see what you did. Also, thank you very you

65
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 4: guys really brought it this show.

66
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: I also think that in the lab. Yeah, like the NFC,

67
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: that was fine. We bring out the great stuff for

68
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: the AFC. I sense a little bit of confidence here

69
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens. Patrick Claybhn's team. I'man into this matchup. No,

70
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: you just kind of mentioning how the Ravens blew the

71
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: doors off them previously. It almost feels a little tongue

72
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: in cheek that, like, oh, John Morton could be the

73
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: difference I.

74
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: Needed to make the Oasis reference. That's all that was.

75
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 5: No, I've never competent that can beat anybody, that can

76
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 5: lose to anybody.

77
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I do like the matchup has worked for them, that

78
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: they did a few things defensively that scrambled Jared goff

79
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: Springs in the past. Now we're going back to twenty

80
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: twenty three for that last game, which it's been a minute.

81
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: And I do think they're catching them at the right

82
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: time of year. I do think about this. Right now,

83
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: these teams are so different than how they'll be in December.

84
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: The Ravens are a perfect example of that. No team

85
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: has more consistently improved, especially on defense late in the

86
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: season than the Ravens. And I do have questions about

87
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: their defense. Think this could be a shootot, but I

88
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: just don't know if the Lions defense is ready for

89
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: a game like this.

90
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: No, And I think because right away we've seen questions

91
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 4: emerge about their front, not just their pass rush, but

92
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 4: their run defense and the way that they handle different looks,

93
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 4: different layers in that in those phases. And on the

94
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: other side, Jared Goff is playing settled, confident football and

95
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: John Morton what he is doing more than I guess

96
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: he would who must not be named in Detroit now

97
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 4: who just came and went to a cacophony of booze

98
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: he you know.

99
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: John Ben Johnson, Ben Johnson.

100
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: Which by the way, Jared Goff did condemn that, because

101
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: that's that's a classy guy right there. And it's interesting

102
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 4: he's he's more settled, I think because they're they're putting

103
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 4: him in play action a little bit more. Ben Johnson

104
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: already used it at like a thirty percent rate with

105
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: Jared Goff in previous seasons, but it's even more now

106
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: under John Morton. And that's that's really going to settle

107
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 4: him down early. And I just I just think, like

108
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: to your point, Greg, I think this is going to

109
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: be a points game, lots of points on both sides.

110
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

111
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 5: Well, considering the way things have gone for for this

112
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 5: Ravens team, especially defensively early, I think there were some

113
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 5: positives to take away from the opener. You learned a

114
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 5: little bit more about how to deploy the defense, and

115
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 5: I think that came out uh in you know, not

116
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: as much jaire in the gaming.

117
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Not any rights.

118
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, significantly less giant for the for the Ravens in

119
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 5: the secondary. And this is this is that that opportunity

120
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: to show how much you've improved in terms of past defense,

121
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 5: not just past coverage, but but the rush as well.

122
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 5: And this this Lion's secondary, especially when you because I

123
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 5: always mentioned both Kirby and Brian branch And being two

124
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 5: of the best safeties in the NFL, where it's tough

125
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 5: to get the types of deep explosive plays that the

126
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: Ravens have kind of relied on in the run game

127
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 5: and the past game where you're going to have to

128
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 5: have consistent uh first downs and consistent like short to

129
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 5: intermediate gains where they're going to make you earn it.

130
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: And Baltimore will see if they can do that.

131
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the only way the Lions win this

132
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: game is a shootout. And so even though I'm almost

133
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: looking past the defense because the pass rush is so

134
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: one dimensional, it's just dayon Hudginson. I mean, Marcus Davenport

135
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: had the most Marcus Davenport play of all time, which

136
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: is that he got hurt on a sack and you

137
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: don't want to be like mean to the guy. But

138
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Saints fans went through and Lions fans have now too

139
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: that you just he can't stay on the field. He

140
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: ended up finishing out that game until hopefully he's there.

141
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: But you're essentially starting two players who act like nose

142
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: tackles in the middle of your line, and if you're

143
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: not great at stopping the run with that, you're giving

144
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: up so much as a pass rush. And I did

145
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: Mina Kimes's podcast this week, she pointed out that the

146
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: Lions have have always gone so far, it's a small

147
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: sample size to base personnel when the other team plays

148
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: two tight ends and so you're thinking about Angeloni on

149
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: the field and Derek Barnes on the field and kind

150
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: of the speed missmap if the Ravens do get Isaiah

151
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: likely back, which it's s trending towards.

152
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's why I say points points, points, because

153
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: the Ravens have so many changeups in their offense, and

154
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: I just think that the Lions so far, you know,

155
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: also had to you know, replace a coordinator. And Calvin

156
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: Sheppard was more excited than anybody I think to hold

157
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams to what they did, and I really appreciated

158
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 4: all of the sideline shots of him, and I think

159
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: that's a confidence boosting game for them. But this is

160
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 4: a confidence killing game for them, and I think for

161
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: the for the Ravens defense as well. It's a scary

162
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: one because the Lions offense is rolling right now. They

163
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: look we were waiting for them to look quote unquote Lions,

164
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: right they look Lions now of what we know them

165
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: to be over the last you know, couple of years

166
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: under Dan Campbell and whoever is coordinating that offense. And also,

167
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: you know, this is a tough challenge for the Ravens

168
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: on the defensive side, but it also is such a

169
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: tough challenge for the Lions defense because of all of

170
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: the layers both teams can deploy and all of the

171
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: different like math problems to solve.

172
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: Here, you mentioned Kelvin Sheppard. I'm going to put you

173
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: on the spot here. While we were watching the games

174
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday, I noted to you that Kelvin Shepherd was

175
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: involved in one of the most one sided franchise changing

176
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: one for one trades in NFL. I would say in

177
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: this century in the last decade plus or so. You

178
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: can't google it.

179
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: Although the question the questions for Jordan's zone.

180
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. No, don't lean back. I said who

181
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: it was. Who was Kelvin Shepherd who is now a

182
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, traded for that player was still in the

183
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: NFL as of last year.

184
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: Amazingly as of last year. Oh my gosh, you are

185
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: putting me on the spot. You also are assuming I

186
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: listened to anything you said to me while we were

187
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 4: watching Cays.

188
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: Totally fair.

189
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: That's a big key.

190
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Tell Greg, it's Jerry Hughes, just an underrated player who

191
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: the Colts thought was a little bit of a bus

192
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: traded to the Bills and off he went into a

193
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: Hall of very good season. That's that's in a side.

194
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: But that's what we can do here when we're giving

195
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: every team just a little extra love.

196
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, the space, you know, extual love and an opportunity

197
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 5: for some tough love. Because harry On Arnold bit on

198
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 5: a double move from Romo Dounze. Teams have been attacking

199
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 5: him and you know, would like to see a little

200
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 5: bit more out on the coverage side, because as evidenced

201
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 5: by three catches this season for new Hopkins could have

202
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: been three touchdowns if one wasn't down at the one

203
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 5: inch line. It's it's our really first chance to see

204
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 5: a designated guy who can fight for the ball and

205
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 5: play the ball in the air, playing with Lamar, and

206
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 5: Lamar's taking advantage for that because it's really just been

207
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: Mark Andrews and no one else Isaiah likely in spots,

208
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 5: but at the wide receiver position.

209
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: This is the best hands Lamar has ever played with.

210
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: It's crazy that Hopkins has three jaw dropping catches, all

211
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: of which should have been touchdowns. He was like a

212
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: half yard shore on one of them. And he's only

213
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: played twenty eight snaps this year. Like if you just

214
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: watch the highlights, you would think like he's out there

215
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: all the time. They got a problem. They have too

216
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: many like mouse to feed. Mark Andrews has no product,

217
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman doesn't really have much production. Za Flowers is

218
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: taking a nice leap, I think in terms of being

219
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: a complete receiver, but it's almost like they have they

220
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: have too many weapons. The only problem is keeping them

221
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: all happy and sharing the ball.

222
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: We got to talk about our guy, Greg because you

223
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: talked about nukes.

224
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 5: Twenty eight snaps a guy who's had twenty offensive snaps

225
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 5: but keeps making great plays.

226
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 4: Isaac to slow You mean Isaac Newton? Why is that

227
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 4: defying gravity?

228
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: Yes, I was.

229
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 5: Gonna say, because he's the gravity will eventually draw the fenders.

230
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: You even brought an apple in today. You know I

231
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: had to make.

232
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: You know, did he? He damilar story that I two

233
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: for two?

234
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: Both insane.

235
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: Now. I don't know when he played because obviously some

236
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: of it was at the end of the second quarter,

237
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: but he did bump it from just a handful of

238
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: snaps to seventeen. So that's on the right.

239
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: Pa. He's on pace to pace play six thousand STAPs

240
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: in again.

241
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Uh, he is on pace to have like a touchdown

242
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: for every catch he has in his entire career. And yeah,

243
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: last week was a reminder that you can stack up

244
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: all these different offenses. The Lions have more great players

245
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: than you do. Even the Raps. I think as good

246
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: as a moon Rah Luck last week, as good as

247
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Jamiir Gibbs is. They tried to run outside a little

248
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: more last week, which I think was really effective, Like

249
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: he was just out the shoot on some of those

250
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: like outside zone and trap plays.

251
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: It totally took the teeth out of that Bears defense.

252
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: Right.

253
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: You have Jamison Williams, who I think is just coming

254
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: into his own. Laporte is still great, and so it's

255
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: all about players. My question is just kind of like,

256
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: is their interior line ready to win like a forty

257
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: one to thirty eight game like or will they make

258
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: some sort of mistake at some point, giving up like

259
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: a force fumble to mad Week or Travis Jones something

260
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: like that changes the game.

261
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 5: Let's get to our next AFC home matchup. It is

262
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 5: an all AFC battle. The Pittsburgh Steelers were favored by

263
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 5: one and a half points, with Aaron Rodgers at the

264
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 5: New England Patriots and Drake May the over under forty

265
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 5: four and a half. I an eagle JJ Watt Evan

266
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 5: Washburn on the call. Will let Greg discuss his team,

267
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 5: but we'll start with you as as you Jordan, what

268
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 5: do you think it takes place here?

269
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: Less mistakes wins here because the Pittsburgh Steelers were defined

270
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: by two massive, massive mistakes that completely altered the game,

271
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 4: one of them being the Aaron Rodgers interception where he

272
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 4: was very quick. In the little slow Moll replays of

273
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 4: the discussion after that play to point out where the

274
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 4: receiver should have run even though he threw it into

275
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: double coverage on that play, and also the special teams

276
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 4: gaff Caleb Johnson not running after the ball and even

277
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 4: just kicking it out of the end zone. The Seattle

278
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 4: Seahawks being able to fall on that for a massive

279
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: point swing that led to seventeen unanswered in that period

280
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 4: that to completely changed the game for the Steelers. They

281
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 4: were the dominant team throughout most of the first half

282
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: of that game. The defense was really coming to life.

283
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 4: Then they lost Alex Heismith, and then the mistakes started happening.

284
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: And so I think with this one, fewer mistakes.

285
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: Wins the two very sloppy teams so far. Not shocked

286
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: that the steel are favored here, but two teams I'm

287
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: not sure what to do with Josh McDaniels Mike Tomlin.

288
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,479
Speaker 1: This would be a revenge game for Mike Tomlin. McDaniels

289
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: has had some of Mike you know, Tomlin's worst moments.

290
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels was on the other side coordinating. I mean,

291
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: I think that Tom Brady was probably a bigger factor

292
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: in those games than than Josh McDaniels. But I did think, yes.

293
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 2: Marius Thomas, you know, may rest in peace, all right?

294
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: Was that was? That was? That was McDaniels right in

295
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs against Mike Tomlin.

296
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: Did he make t Did he make the playoffs? I

297
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: think they were on a different coach by them or

298
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: am I am I crazy?

299
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: No, I may be misremembering that.

300
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: I we will check that. The research is looking it

301
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: up right now. I'm thinking more of like the AFC

302
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: Championship games all that sort of stuff. Look, they do

303
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a predictable defense in terms

304
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: of what they run, and I think they have more

305
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: personnel problems right now because of injuries than usual and

306
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: because of usage like Keanu Benton as a nose tackle

307
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: is not working. You're running through the middle of this defense.

308
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned Heismiths gone, Derek Harmon's gone. Their you know,

309
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: their first round pick Patrick Queen is over running plays.

310
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: They are twenty seventh in DVO eight. I know it's

311
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: two weeks, but they haven't exactly faced a murderer's row

312
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: of offenses here with Seattle and the Jets. They've looked

313
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: completely undisciplined, kind of like the Patriots defense. On the

314
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: back end, like these have been two bad defenses to

315
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: start the year, eighteen.

316
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 5: Point two percent misstackle rate, like almost one of the

317
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 5: membery five times the Steelers have an opportunity to miss

318
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 5: to make a tackle, they missed the tackle. Yeah that

319
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 5: was John Fox that was coaching for the Denver Broncos

320
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 5: in that game against the Steelers.

321
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: But I guess we'll give Josh was like Joshganos didn't

322
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: have any good times there. The only good time was

323
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: getting to five and zero his first year and beating

324
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots in primetime and then losing almost every game

325
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: after that.

326
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: But the Patriots.

327
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 5: It's I lean Steelers in this matchup because I look

328
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: at that game against the Miami Dolphins team that were

329
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 5: all kind of circling like vultures watching trying to pick

330
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 5: players that would be good contributors elsewhere like trade deadline is.

331
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: I like the.

332
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 5: Patriots were huge Dolphins mistakes like pick one, and the

333
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 5: Dolphins win that game to the extent where I just

334
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 5: wouldn't feel comfortable of picking the Patriots in this.

335
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers versus the pass rush is really interesting to

336
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: me because that the Patriots pass rush has been good

337
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: in both weeks. Milton Williams has been fantastic.

338
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: Look like they paid the right guy, right.

339
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christian Barmore has been a little quiet, but Harold

340
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: Landry's making plays. I thought Calebon Chason had a good

341
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: game last week. They have a really high pressure rate,

342
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, one of the highest in the league without

343
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: having a high blitz rate, and yet they're giving up

344
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,479
Speaker 1: chunk play after chunk play because everything in the secondary

345
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: is terrible. Christian Gonzalez might be returning this week, but

346
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: it's more than one player can solve everything. I mean,

347
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: it'll help a lot, but they you pick a safety

348
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: or a linebacker and they're playing badly.

349
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 4: But Aaron Rodgers is not throwing the ball down the field,

350
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: and I think that helped. It's the Patriots case. It's

351
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 4: not just getting Christian Gonzales back. But if you're a

352
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 4: team giving up chunk plays, you do kind of want

353
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: to play this at least statistical version of Aaron Rodgers

354
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: who is not throwing the ball down the field despite

355
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 4: the enormous amount of play action and massive you know,

356
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: people on the perimeter. And DK Metcalf, for example, who

357
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: was the most successful play of the game was throwing

358
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: like sort of a low fade, you know, jumper to

359
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: DK Metcalf for a touchdown, and then the two point conversion, you.

360
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: Know, lining up Darneaul Washington, Yeah.

361
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: Lining up Darnel Washington on the outside and basically saying

362
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 4: you're taller than everyone else here. Let me throw it

363
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: up really high and you come down with.

364
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: It like that.

365
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: Is that those were the only really truly successful looking

366
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 4: plays of this game, and it took them, you know,

367
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: piece by piece by piece to get down there in

368
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: the first place.

369
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: I'll defend Aaron Rodgers a little bit in point out.

370
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: He's had a few throws every in each game that

371
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: were awesome. I mean, he had one on his first

372
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: throw of the week last week, which was on a penalty. Ultimately,

373
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: for I think the Steelers, none of it mattered. Was

374
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: up there with the best throws anyone's made all season

375
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: on the run, like fifty yards down the field. He

376
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: can still do it. It's just that for a guy

377
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to get hit like he sure is

378
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: getting hit a lot. Their offensive line's been bad. It's

379
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: a bad combination of he's getting hit, he's taking a

380
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of sacks, his time to throw is very low

381
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: and he's not throwing it deep, so it's like this

382
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: safe offense where you're still having all these bad things happen.

383
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: I actually don't think that's all on him, but I

384
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to be the guy to

385
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: fix it.

386
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 5: And he's getting rid of the ball fast and the

387
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 5: targets are close to the line of scrimmage, as Jordan

388
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 5: pointed out. But when there is a little bit of

389
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 5: glimpses of Rogers extending plays, things have gone the wrong way.

390
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 5: And I think that could be attributed to a lack

391
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 5: of cohesion and opportunity for these guys to play together,

392
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 5: like in the play where Calvin Austin gets in the

393
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 5: way of a ball that I believe was intended for

394
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 5: Pat Friyarmouth and ultimately gets picked off after like both

395
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 5: of them had a chance, Like they're both in the

396
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 5: same place, like they're in the scramble drill and they

397
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 5: run to the same spot. I think things could ultimately

398
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 5: get better, But it is a little bit of a

399
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 5: positive yeah, to say that Rogers is moving around and

400
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 5: extending plays a little bit, not that he's doing it

401
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: a whole bit.

402
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: And it won't I don't think the defenders are just

403
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: going to be in the way like you know for

404
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots that they were for the Seahawks. Sorry, I'm

405
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: a little down right now. I just watching these linebackers.

406
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: These linebackers have to earn that week. I'm testing out

407
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: a theory. I only said that once and it was

408
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: by mistake. Robert Splane is a guy they gave a

409
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: lot of money to. I mean, he looks like he's

410
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: in slow motion. And then they're playing Christian Ellis, who

411
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: was a special teamer who was our friend Bo Wolfe's

412
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: maybe favorite Philadelphia Eagle of all time. He literally just

413
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: couldn't make the Eagles fifty three, like he wasn't good

414
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: enough to. And he's starting and playing every snap and

415
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: they look like they're playing in the nineteen nineties and

416
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: like the rest of the game is happening around him.

417
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: I feel like a little bit at their safety. They

418
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: have a rookie, Craig Woodson too, who hasn't been bad.

419
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: But it gives me a theory about Rabel, and the

420
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: theory is that Rabel leans on players that remind him

421
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: of Patriots teammates. Now, I can't give the one to

422
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: one like comparison, But these guys just seem like they

423
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: should have been on the early two thousands Patriots, you

424
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like Robert Splaine would be like

425
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: the new Ted Johnson or something like that. But football

426
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: is different now, and it's like it's passing them by.

427
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, and so are quarterbacks.

428
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: You know.

429
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 5: Maybe the Patriot way for Aaron Rodgers was having good

430
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 5: cohesive teammates the whole time and not being surly in

431
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 5: interviews for no reason.

432
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: By the way, I've successfully not gotten too excited about

433
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: Drake May's near perfect game last week. I don't know,

434
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't flashy, but it was near perfect.

435
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 4: I feel like you bringing it up just now reveals

436
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 4: how excited you actually no.

437
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 3: I about it, and I could see on Patrick's face.

438
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: I want to see it again. Last thing on this

439
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: game we should move on, is I did think it

440
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: was a good sign. They ran a completely different game

441
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: plan game two to game one. Maybe it's learning the personnel.

442
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Josh McDaniel's kind of doing what he does

443
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: and having it like a versatile offensive scheme.

444
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 5: And Drake May had a rushing touchdown. He was back

445
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: scrambling again, which he did so good last season, didn't

446
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 5: really do it in the first week of the season two.

447
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 5: Our next game to Cleveland, where the Browns play hosts

448
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 5: to Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers, who are

449
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 5: favored by eight and a half points.

450
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: Deel Fredder is forty two and a half.

451
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 5: Carrol, I mean, excuse me, Kevin Coogler and Moose Johnson

452
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 5: Johnston on the call, Greg, is this the end? In

453
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 5: the final starting game for Joe Flacco in twenty twenty five?

454
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Now, I'm surprised this has been such a question. I

455
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: think they're going to have more patients. And I also

456
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: think at Joe Flacco's age, if you get one really

457
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: good performance followed by one really bad performance all season,

458
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: that's like a that's under part, like that's good, that's

459
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: better than you could possibly expect. And that's what's happened

460
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: the first two week. So I wouldn't be surprised if

461
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: he comes out and he looks as good as you

462
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: could expect against a Packers defense that is so far

463
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: made you know, some young quarterbacks look terrible this season.

464
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love this Packers defense.

465
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: Jeff Hafley is all the way in his bag, the

466
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: way that he used Micah Parsons in primetime just to

467
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 4: completely change responsibilities for blocking and change the math and

468
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: moving him all over the place. He only played forty

469
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: four of sixty five defensive snaps. I expect that number

470
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 4: to keep increasing as he gets his feet under him.

471
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: We forget when we watch him on the field with

472
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: how great he looks that he actually missed the entirety

473
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: of training camp and did not have the same ramp

474
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 4: up period as everyone else. He is absolutely itching to

475
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: get on the field floor. He's been very clear about.

476
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: That on that, Like, do you ever wonder if like

477
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: training camp is just very overrated the way everyone talks

478
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: about it, because quinch On Duwkins, for instance, like literally

479
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: is a rookie that's never practiced with his team, and

480
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: he signs with them and practices for the first time.

481
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: I guess he was there in Ota on Thursday, and

482
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: then he plays like a full game on Sunday, and

483
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: then you know what I mean, like they somehow managed

484
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: to like get up to speed pretty quick.

485
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: I don't think training camp is overrated.

486
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: No.

487
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 5: I think that I'm on record is, yeah, I think

488
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 5: a certain positions in certain situations, as long as you

489
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 5: used properly.

490
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little over because they make it sound

491
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: like it's so big, but then you miss the whole thing.

492
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: And when they show up from these hold outs, then

493
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is playing like five days later, and you

494
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: know he looks great.

495
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 4: But this is a guy who's supposed to take them

496
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl playing off a like off like

497
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: being completely cold, off of laying on a training table. Yeah,

498
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 4: I want him to ramp up a little bit when

499
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 4: you cannot physically contact people in regular season practices. But yes,

500
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 4: to the point, I do think that, and I know

501
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 4: that I am definitely going to hear from people on

502
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: this because my error. I forgot to include the Packers

503
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 4: as one of the top five defenses I believe are

504
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 4: going to stay in our last episode.

505
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: And I don't know which order that.

506
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 4: These will publish, but I will say the Packers are

507
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 4: very much one of those teams for me one and two.

508
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: With the Chargers right there, this is such a fun

509
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 4: group to watch. Jeff Hafley is already getting the whisper treatment.

510
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 4: Oh how long are we going to keep him from

511
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 4: the local reporters out there? This is such a fun defense,

512
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: not just because of the talent on the roster, but

513
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 4: the way that he is finding ways to maximize every

514
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 4: player on this roster, even when there are questions about cornerback.

515
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: This is just really a fun group to watch.

516
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 5: And some guys have maximated, maximized their opportunity, like Kishawn Nixon,

517
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 5: who is such a big part of that.

518
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 2: What are they going to do?

519
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 5: Five targets at Kishaw Nixon on Thursday Night football, five

520
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 5: passes broken up, like the guys that were there have

521
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 5: raised the.

522
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 2: Level of their game.

523
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 5: And I'm wondering because I said it, as soon as

524
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett requested a trade, the Packers should put together

525
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 5: an offer. And it is my conspiracy theory. Not really,

526
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 5: it's the same, but it's my head canon that they

527
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 5: take that offer that would have gone to the Cleveland

528
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: Browns for Miles Garrett and send it within their draft

529
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 5: to the Dallas Hey, Jerry, here, you're frustrated with this guy,

530
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 5: and now Miles has to look across the field. I

531
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 5: love it, all of this. This could be your life,

532
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 5: but you elected to stay with me.

533
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: It's true because we mentioned Fred Warner might be the

534
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year earlier, I would vote Miles Garrett

535
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 1: through two weeks. It's silly to just point out that

536
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett is great, but like he's been so unstoppable

537
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: these two weeks. He's you know, he's got four sacks

538
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: and they were like they're flashy sacks too, but his

539
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: run stuffs are like leading the league as well. He

540
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: is just always in the backfield and he will be

541
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: playing against most likely a rookie right tackle in Anthony Belton,

542
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: who struggled a little bit in his first start. If

543
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: they don't get Zach Tom back, And you're right, he

544
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: has to be a little sick thinking about it because

545
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: I don't think it would have even would it have

546
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: cost as much it was before the draft, h I think, yeah,

547
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: it would have been pretty pretty similar. And instead Michael Parsons,

548
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: like Brett Favre once did, is just like getting people jobs.

549
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, he got Dan Quinn a job and now

550
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: he'll get Jeff a job because like, none of this,

551
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: none of this, it's all true what you're saying, Yeah,

552
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: but also none of it would happen if you didn't

553
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: add you know, the second or you know, best player

554
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: in the league. I would say these are the two best.

555
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 4: But I would say this defense was already gonna be

556
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 4: good coming into it, and I think he just what

557
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 4: I love about the way that Micah Parsons fits with

558
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 4: this group is he because of the attention he commands

559
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 4: and because of the way he can move around. And

560
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 4: like I said, Jeff Hafley's looking at this like a

561
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 4: giant math equation as well of skill sets and where

562
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 4: people can win and what blocking is going to happen.

563
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 4: They're using Micah Parsons the way they're moving around the field.

564
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 4: It's the way that offensive coaches use motion players to

565
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: get defenses to declare whether they're in man or not.

566
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 4: He's doing the exact same thing. The way that he

567
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 4: moves Michaeh Parsons around the field gets the offense to

568
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 4: declare what they're blocking strategy is. It is freaking cool

569
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 4: to watch. And what it does is it lifts everybody else.

570
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 4: It gives everybody else more opportunities to win because they

571
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 4: know the answer before the test even starts. And that

572
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 4: is really cool because this was already going to be

573
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 4: a great, great, really good defense. Now it can be

574
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 4: a transcendent defense because they also have the answers before

575
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 4: the quarterback does.

576
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: Right I think he's just like a he's a one

577
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: to one and like that he could be so successful

578
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: in all of those spots. So I don't think we're

579
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: going to learn that much about them. Unfortunately though, this week,

580
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: because the offensive line for the Browns is sneaky bad.

581
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: That was one of the things that you really liked

582
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: about the Browns during the Stefanski era, and the tackle

583
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: position is no longer nearly a strong. Joel Buttonio is

584
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: out of practice, so it's such a mismatch. Actually, think

585
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: on the other side, there is some interesting football to

586
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: be seen because the Browns defense has played pretty well.

587
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: They're especially good against the run. They Josh Jacobs is

588
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: trying to get going. This will be a tough team

589
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: to do it against. I mentioned Miles Garrett and then

590
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: just the advanced nature of Jordan Love this season. I

591
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: was listening to a podcast with Logan Paulson, the former

592
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: Commanders player, called Take Command. As we all know, decided.

593
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 6: To really go ahead and start Take Command.

594
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: And yes, that's just an excuse to get that in there.

595
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: I listen to him point out he was talking about

596
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: how like in the first drive of that game last week,

597
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Love had three like check with Me's on the

598
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: first drive of the game, built into the you know,

599
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: game plan on a short week, and he was just saying,

600
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: that's not normal, Like you need to have like that

601
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: just wouldn't happen in most situations. You need to have

602
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: an offensive group that has been together a while and

603
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback. Which it's weird to think Jordan Love

604
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: has a veteran quarterback, but he has been in that

605
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: system his entire career, and all the players around him

606
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: have been in that system their entire career, and so

607
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: they're just like operating at like a week fourteen to

608
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: fifteen level where most teams are just you know, gearing

609
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: up in like late preseason and stuff. So when they're

610
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: on offense, it'll at least be a little interesting. All right,

611
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we will be back

612
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: to wrap up our exciting journey through the AFC.

00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: including this one, will be taped here and then I'm

628
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: going to be flying over for the game doing a

629
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: live show by the way, with the Irish NFL Show.

630
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: I think there's some tickets available on Friday night, so

631
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: check that out. I think I'll be part of the

632
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: toksport coverage of the actual game if you want to

633
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: listen on the radio part of Sky Sports. And obviously

634
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: doing work doing all these shows, and will be still

635
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: still do an NFL Daily. We're not going anywhere. I

636
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: might just be in a little box and you guys

637
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: will wave to me, which will be a lot of fun.

638
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: That won't be the gesture I will be making.

639
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: Oh how dare you? It is really exciting this same

640
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: year when when the international games start going.

641
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 5: Yes, especially our friends in Ireland exceedingly jealous. Take care

642
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: of them, Gregg as I am sure that they will

643
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 5: take care.

644
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: The expectations are high for this one. I feel like

645
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: the first Ireland game is going to be a banger.

646
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 5: We got a banger here in the AFC West, the

647
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 5: Denver Broncos at the Los Angeles Chargers, who are two

648
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 5: and oh. They are favored by two and a half

649
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 5: points the over unders forty five and a half. You know,

650
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 5: it's a great game because the greatest of all time,

651
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 5: Kevin Harlan is on the call with Trent Green and

652
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 5: Melanie Collins Jordan do the Chargers get to three and oh?

653
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 4: The biggest matchup and the coolest matchup possibly of the

654
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 4: week for me is in this game. It's the combination

655
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 4: of Sean Payton and bow Nicks, and that Broncos offense

656
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 4: and Jesse Minter, Diane Henley, Derwin James, and that amazing

657
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 4: Los Angeles Chargers defense that has been absolutely lights out

658
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: through the open to this season and this game, especially

659
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 4: how they move and countermove against each other from you know,

660
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 4: quarterback versus linebacker to offensive coordinator versus defensive coordinator on

661
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: opposite sides. This is gonna be so much fun for me.

662
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 4: This is going to be for me personally to watch,

663
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 4: and I'm hopefully well. I guess I won't have this game,

664
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 4: but I wish I did. And I really feel like

665
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 4: this is a test for bon Nicks because he has

666
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 4: been up and down over the course of the first

667
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: two weeks. He's had a little too much dip on

668
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: his chip and won I think, tried to make things

669
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 4: happen that weren't really there. And he's gonna be playing

670
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 4: against sort of this very cloudy match quarters cover two zone,

671
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 4: this shell defense that the Chargers really deploy with great effect.

672
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 4: Bonix against the zone is thirty eight for fifty four

673
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: three hundred and forty yards, two touchdowns but three interceptions.

674
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 4: And here's where it really starts to get interesting. He

675
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 4: takes two point eight four seconds time to throw on

676
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 4: average against the zone, so he's holding the ball a

677
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: little bit, trying to figure out what he sees. It's

678
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 4: not that he doesn't have outlets. When he takes the

679
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 4: underneath outlets and the options that are there for him,

680
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 4: it's five point eight are yards per attempt, and that's

681
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 4: what has led to this seventy point four percent completion percentage,

682
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 4: So it means it's the options are there and he

683
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: takes them. But when he doesn't trust when he's seeing,

684
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: that's when the turnovers happen and he is he will

685
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 4: guess wrong sometimes when he doesn't know what he's seeing

686
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 4: from these zone coverages. So it's all about what options

687
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: do you have, will he see them, will he take them,

688
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: or will he try to press.

689
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: And do too much.

690
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: I when I watched the Bonicks game against the Colts,

691
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: I expected a better overall performance than I saw. I

692
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: think Sean Payton got a lot open and Broncos fans

693
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: are very sensitive and they're asking for everyone that was

694
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: critical bon next week one? How are you saying sorry

695
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: week two? And then he throws, you know, a game

696
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: killing interception, and I thought overall he was uneven in

697
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: that game. And so sometimes I like to just check

698
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: and I actually do fine. In terms of like grading

699
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, I don't mind. PFF is one part

700
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: of the equation. And I was shocked to see this,

701
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: but it backed up what I thought that it wasn't

702
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: like a great performance, it was actually their lowest bon

703
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: Nicks you know, graded passing game except for Week one

704
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: since last September, which kind of matched my eyes that

705
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: it felt like a September of last year bon Knicks

706
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: type of game. So I don't think he's out of

707
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: the woods yet. And this is such a great test.

708
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: You really said it all just testing his patients. This

709
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: is the defense that will test his patient.

710
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: It will test his patients.

711
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 5: I think that they were the beneficiary of a weird

712
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 5: performance by the Las Vegas Raiders because there's a with

713
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 5: Khalil Mack on the field for this team. And yeah,

714
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 5: like the players like Hnley's having a great season. He

715
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 5: had great season last year.

716
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah he did it.

717
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 5: Still is one of the more the more dominating around

718
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage to tacklers and adjusters in the

719
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 5: league right now. But I think this is the moment

720
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 5: where if you're a Broncos team, you have to take

721
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 5: advantage of Khalil Mack being out for these four weeks.

722
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: He's on injured reserve. He is. Yeah, we haven't mentioned

723
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: that on this show that he's expected to return this season.

724
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 3: More news than they thought.

725
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, considered it like looking at him in the sling

726
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: and especially watching unfortunately looking at the replay.

727
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: I thought that was going to be it for Khalil

728
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: Mack for the season.

729
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 5: So that's good that he'll be back, but it's good

730
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 5: news for the Broncos that they don't have to contend

731
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 5: with him. And maybe we see bow Knicks get back

732
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 5: to where he excels in using his legs a little

733
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 5: bit more because that fell off and it hasn't been

734
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 5: back this season.

735
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 2: I want to see bo Nicks run a little bit more.

736
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm leaning Broncos here just because I have a hard

737
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: time like imagining a world where everything's going so well

738
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: with the Chargers with no can Tell I don't know

739
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: right it would be three and ohero with a two

740
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: game lead over the Broncos and the Chiefs after three

741
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: weeks and all the wins in the division. That would

742
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: be incredible. Khalil Mack, you know, being out hurts because.

743
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: Now that's the thing. But the Chargers thing.

744
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: I was worried about their pass rush overall, but it

745
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: was good against the Raiders. Tully Bolowtu was fantastic in

746
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: that game. My biggest question in this game, other than

747
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: the one you pointed out with bo Nicks, is which

748
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Stan do we get because he had an ankle

749
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: injury last week and he played through it. He only

750
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: missed I think one snap. It did not look good

751
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: and he didn't play well. He didn't look like Patrick

752
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: Sirtan after that. I think he gave up four or

753
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: five catches and some of them were down the field.

754
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: One was to Pittman, one was to Warrant and you

755
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: just you don't see that ever, like you didn't see

756
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: it once last season. So he just needs to be healthy,

757
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: I think, because I think that the defense is built

758
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: in some ways around Patrick Sirtan being a special player,

759
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: and there's every reason to believe he he will be

760
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy. It's more of a question

761
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: of is he one hundred percent?

762
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 4: And you know who is playing really well all Quentin Johnston,

763
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 4: you know, So that'll be a challenge. And I also

764
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 4: expect the Chargers to start getting a couple of these

765
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 4: other players that the younger players, you know, going Trey

766
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 4: Harris and and you know Lad McConkie has been showing

767
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 4: up a little bit, you know, light lightning ladd as.

768
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have room for Trey Harris

769
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: and KeAndre Lambertsmith, like maybe a little bit but they

770
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: got like Keenan Allen's I'm shocked.

771
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 4: By right, No, that's how I was just That's what

772
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 4: I was just going to bring up. It'll be a

773
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 4: tough decision to make between these these corners in Denver

774
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 4: because keen Allen is playing like a much younger version

775
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 4: of Keenan Allen and he's playing like their one, like

776
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 4: their number one receiver. So this is going to be

777
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 4: super interesting, you know for the Denver Bronkers defense, who

778
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 4: is getting a lot of pressure. But you know, we'll

779
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 4: kind of just have to see because this Chargers offensive line,

780
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 4: despite all the shuffling that it's had, has looked pretty

781
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 4: dang good itself.

782
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, the benefit for Herbert and the Chargers offense is

783
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 5: when he's able to extend the play, which is healthy.

784
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 5: Justin Herbert is always going to do Keenan Allen knows

785
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 5: where to go. Yeah, right, And you know, as much

786
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 5: as we think of Lambert Smith and Trey Harris and

787
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 5: all that they have to contribute, like Keenan Allen will

788
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 5: forget more football today than those guys may learn ever,

789
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 5: and so like that veteran presence, and yeah, he still

790
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 5: looks good, like he's ability to run the routes is good.

791
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 5: And for Quentin Johnston, like he's always been able to

792
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 5: finish plays, but the great thing for me was to

793
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 5: watch him track that ball over the shoulder and then

794
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 5: finish the play like in that particular order and not

795
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 5: try to do one before the other. And it's just

796
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 5: it's so good and every like you said, Greg, everything's

797
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 5: going great for the charge.

798
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: They compliment each other, right, Like this is a group

799
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: that compliments each other. I watched our friend Matt money

800
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: Smith does like an Instagram video after Chargers. Where do

801
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: you see him at the game? Oh? Right, And so

802
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: he's watching it. He's watching it, and he says, watching

803
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: those two guys lad and Keenan next to each other

804
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: because usually they're lining up on the same side depends on,

805
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, on the play who's inside. Like, watching the

806
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: precision of the route running next to each other is

807
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: just incredible because they're two of the best at that

808
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: specific skill set in the entire league. And that I

809
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: think that has a little bit of a multiplying effect

810
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: and certainly is gonna calm down, I think justin Herbert.

811
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: So shout out to Money who, by the way, had

812
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: a flex on this ig video that he had gotten

813
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: back from the game around one point thirty. He was

814
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 1: taping the video around eight and he had already gone

815
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: surfing that morning, and his hair is wet, he's looking

816
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: looking all buff. You know, it's just everything's coming up

817
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: that much.

818
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just dedicated to doing what he wants to do.

819
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 5: If he were in position to be backstage in oaysis concept,

820
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 5: I think Matt Redy Smith would have ultimately been there.

821
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 5: Two Jacksonville, Florida we Go where the Jags coming off

822
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 5: a rough one and a loss that they donated to Cincinnati,

823
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 5: playing host to the zero to two Houston Texans and

824
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 5: all the promise with two close losses, Jags favored by

825
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 5: one and a half, Greg the over unders forty three

826
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 5: and a half. Spirodidas Adam Marchioletta and Addikik Walla on

827
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 5: the call. Do the Jags bounce back after making a donation?

828
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: Hmm, tough game to pick. I think the Jags have

829
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: definitely played better overall this season. I think they're well coached.

830
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: I think they're a little unlucky to be too and zero.

831
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: I also think their offense has room to grow and

832
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: it's already been good in that this is like a

833
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: really fascinating matchup, and yet there is something about I

834
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: don't know how my brain works that looks like beyond

835
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: the x's and o's and like just thinks like this

836
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: is a big spot for Damiico Ryans and CJ. Stroud

837
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: and this organization. They were zero and two last year

838
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: actually very similar type of spot with a bad start

839
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: on their offense. They played the Jags in that spot,

840
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: a worse Jacks team, they beat them, and that helped

841
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: to turn their season around. I just think it's a

842
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: really important game in the AFC South, Like this is

843
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: a really big game, especially for the Houston Texans, but

844
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: you could look at it the same way for the

845
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: Jags too, because they could put some distance in a

846
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: real well I think questions and hurt on where the

847
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: Houston Texans are as a team. If they can win

848
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: this game, I think.

849
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 3: It's a you make a statement.

850
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 4: More so maybe if you're the Jags on this, because

851
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: they've dropped twelve of the last fourteen to the Texans, right,

852
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 4: and obviously that's different regimes, right, So if you're the

853
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 4: new regime and you want to make it very clear

854
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 4: that things will be different. Now You've got to go

855
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 4: out and beat this Houston Texans team.

856
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 3: The Texans.

857
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: Man.

858
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 4: I watch their defense, and I think that's real freaking

859
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 4: football right there, Like that is real tough.

860
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 3: That is deep February.

861
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 4: Excuse me, deep January, early February caliber physicality.

862
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 3: That is real football.

863
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 4: And then I watch the offense and they the same

864
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: problems that there were before.

865
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: And I'm really.

866
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 4: Shocked because I fully expect and I know this that

867
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 4: Nick Cayley wants to build in outlets and wants to

868
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 4: run quick passes and quick throws, and I know that

869
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 4: the receivers are hurt, but I know he wants to

870
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 4: bring some of this Patriots he kind of, you know,

871
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 4: help for the quarterback and get the rhythm going and

872
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 4: stay ahead in the down and mitigate pressure and do

873
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 4: all of these things help the offensive line which just

874
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 4: still looks totally embattled. And I'm sure Seth Pain is

875
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 4: like popping a vein in his forehead every time he

876
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 4: watches this group. Yet again, I know that they want

877
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 4: to do all these things. Screen development that helps with

878
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 4: your zone runs. You can call that an extension of

879
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 4: your zone runs, and still take pressure off the quarterback,

880
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 4: And I know not having Joe mix and hurts, and

881
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 4: I know having the receivers hurt that they you know,

882
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 4: that they're working with that they wanted to be working

883
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: with hurt hurts them. But they have to find answers

884
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 4: and they have to do it quick because this is again,

885
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 4: like you mentioned it, Greg, another zero and two start,

886
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 4: where the same problems with the quarter not with the quarterback,

887
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 4: but with the system around the quarterback and with the

888
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 4: cast around the quarterback are hurting the quarterback.

889
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 3: And maybe the quarterback.

890
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 4: Is having to do a little bit too much, which

891
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 4: he wanted at the beginning of this season. But you

892
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 4: got to save that protect that guy from himself a

893
00:40:59,160 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 4: little bit.

894
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 5: I'm willing to look past it and place the blame

895
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 5: on the schedule. I think Rams defense, Bucks defense is

896
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 5: a very difficult way to start the season versus the

897
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 5: Jacksonville Jaguars, who have started against a team that's trying

898
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 5: to change some things, as well as a Bengals team

899
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 5: that loses their starting quarterback in the game.

900
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 2: That's why I lean Houston in this one.

901
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 5: And I know that you know, you folks want teams

902
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 5: in situations late in games with leads to be aggressive,

903
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 5: and we saw Monday night where that can go wrong,

904
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 5: where you end up having to have somebody chase a

905
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 5: quarterback after chasing somebody else looking the other way, and

906
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 5: then doing the same thing with Bucky Irving. Whereas this

907
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 5: Jags team, I just there was so much Brian Thomas

908
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:49,280
Speaker 5: Junior conversation this week and break down. Should we listen

909
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 5: to what Coach Cohen had to say a conversation about

910
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 5: conversations with BTJ because I have some data.

911
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 6: Just think anybody on this team, nobody was pleased with

912
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 6: the outcome, right, and we have some good conversations, really

913
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 6: good conversations, and everybody was frustrated. But at the end

914
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 6: of the day, he's got a great opportunity to bounce back,

915
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 6: as does the rest of our team, and feel really

916
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 6: confident about that.

917
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 5: Okay, what I have here for the viewers on YouTube

918
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 5: as well as the folks the folks watching is a

919
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 5: look at some Brian Thomas Junior routes from the successful

920
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 5: weeks for Brian Thomas Junior from last season. Do you

921
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 5: guys notice anything about the direction that these routes are going.

922
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all breaking in.

923
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 5: Yeah he's breaking in, But He's doing a lot of

924
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 5: deep stuff and a lot of breaking out. So that

925
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 5: was this season, as Jordan notes the in breakers. Let's

926
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 5: look to last season and this is not Matt Jones propaganda.

927
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 5: This is where Brian Thomas Junior was running and a

928
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 5: lot of these places where he's trying to make catches

929
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 5: in traffic, that's not where Brian Thomas Junior was successful.

930
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to see Brian Thomas Jr.

931
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 5: In space on the outside, making plays, not necessarily utilizing

932
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 5: him like a tight end.

933
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 2: Hopefully they do that. But I'm still picking the Texans

934
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 2: because I do think they're the better.

935
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think their two extremely talented wide receivers are

936
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: not playing with a ton of confidence. The postgame interview

937
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: with Brian Thomas Junior was sad. Actually, the two saddest

938
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: press conferences I've seen this year, I think our CJ.

939
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: Stroud and Brian Thomas Junior, because CJ just wears his

940
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: emotion on his sleeve and he's frustrated and he's bummed

941
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: about what is happening right now. And Brian Thomas Junior

942
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: was asked about his confidence and he just answered it

943
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: very softly, and he has struggled, and we've talked about

944
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: this during the preseason since like day one of training camp.

945
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, him and Trevor have not been on

946
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: the same page. He's been dropping a lot of passes,

947
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: like from training camp into preseason, into the regular season,

948
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: and then with Travis Hunter, it does seem like the

949
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: game is coming at him a little fast where they're

950
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: having a manufacture touches, and to me, he looked a

951
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: lot more comfortable at cornerback. It did not take them

952
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: long to kind of change the plan that we heard

953
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: was going to be the plan. Because last week he

954
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: played forty five snaps on defense. I thought he looked good.

955
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,959
Speaker 1: I went back and watched because I'm just a sick

956
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: of his coverage snaps, and he looked more fluid and

957
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: natural I thought playing cornerback wards right now, he almost

958
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: feels like a little bit of a gadget player on offense,

959
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: which is not what I expected.

960
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 3: I have a theory.

961
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 4: This is not reported, but it is a theory that

962
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 4: I have, and it comes from Liam Cohen's background and

963
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 4: who he came up with in under that like early

964
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 4: versions of that Sean McVay offense where you had Cooper

965
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 4: Cup and Robert Woods and what are they doing but

966
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: running a route chart, a heat map that looks a

967
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 4: lot like this, the first one that you showed of

968
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 4: what Brian Thomas Junior is being asked to do this year.

969
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 4: If that's not his game, that's fine. Multiple things are true.

970
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 4: It is fine to want and need a receiver like

971
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 4: that in your offense the way that you want to

972
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 4: run it. If you eventually want to make somebody you're

973
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 4: Chris Godwin, You're Robert Woods, to even your Cooper Cup,

974
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 4: to run as sort of that f player who can

975
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 4: be the mismatch and really kind of sell out the

976
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 4: way that we see a lot of the receivers in

977
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 4: those coaching trees do in the middle of the field.

978
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: That's it's as a blocker. He is not that guy,

979
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: But it's.

980
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: Fine to want that. Well, it's also true that Brian

981
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 4: Thomas Junior is that's not where his gifts are and

982
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 4: he is so gifted in other areas. Now, this is

983
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 4: a theory, and I'm not wanting to speak out a

984
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 4: turn because I'm not in the game planning rooms, but

985
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 4: like it's maximizing if you have a player who's who

986
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 4: is not good at that and not good at anything else,

987
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 4: then that stinks. But Brian Thomas Junior is so gifted

988
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 4: at other stuff that that's where I'm failing to see

989
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 4: the logic here. And I would like to see players

990
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 4: maximize to where they are most talented. And I also

991
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 4: know that this offense, when those players have those responsibilities

992
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 4: that are complimentary, that's the highest functionality, right And so

993
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 4: I can understand trying to make it work or try

994
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 4: to see if it works, but you're also not going

995
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 4: to run Travis Hunter across the middle like that.

996
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: You go about your system, it's it's about, you know,

997
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: getting the best out of your players because you know

998
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: a role Brian Thomas Junior is great in well so

999
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior yea like he was like a top

1000
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: ten receiver as a rookie, kind of in a bigger

1001
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: better Jamison William like year four, but he's year one role.

1002
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: That's his role is freakazoid.

1003
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 4: And I think that's where you're seeing where this Jaguars

1004
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 4: team is because again, the ideas are there. You know

1005
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 4: that the scheme is there. But if it's a square peg,

1006
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 4: round hole situation with a receiver who, like I said,

1007
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 4: is very gifted in other areas and could build confidence

1008
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 4: back in other areas. It is a sign that shows

1009
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 4: this team still has some building to do. They still

1010
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 4: need to build out their receiving corps, They still need

1011
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 4: to build out the layers in the passing game that

1012
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 4: Liam Cohen does want to have.

1013
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 3: And like I said, all.

1014
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 4: Of this is just a theory, but I feel like

1015
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 4: it's them trying to place players into things that they

1016
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 4: know work. It's just you don't quite have the full

1017
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 4: a couple seasons of drafting, even two seasons of drafting

1018
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:44,439
Speaker 4: to be able to make that happen.

1019
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: And weirdly, throws to all the other receivers are incredibly effective.

1020
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: Parker Washington's killing it. Yeah, Seommy Brown's killing it except

1021
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: for dropping a touchdown that would have probably won the game.

1022
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: And Breton String just killing it. So the running game

1023
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: seems very cohesive. I think it gives them a chance.

1024
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 1: I'm leaning Texans as well.

1025
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, so, which ultimately meets in our other show, Cynthia

1026
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 5: will beat us on a random last second Travis et

1027
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 5: in touchdown. Let's go to our final game in the AFC,

1028
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 5: where the Tennessee Titans and the number one Rod Pick

1029
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 5: cam Warder playing host to the two to zero Indianapolis Colts,

1030
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 5: who were favored about four and a half points. The

1031
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 5: over under is forty three and a half. Tom McCarthy,

1032
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 5: Ross Tucker and Amanda balionis Our dear friend is Paul, Yes,

1033
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 5: the friend of the show.

1034
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: Greg does dimes do it again?

1035
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: I think so? I think I think this is.

1036
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 4: The right matchup for quarterback Island Greg.

1037
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: That would be crazy. But if he plays like this

1038
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: for a couple more weeks, yeah, I mean he's helping

1039
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: to define the position so far with big time throws.

1040
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: Now he has one of the highest rates of like

1041
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: throwing to his first read in the league, which is

1042
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: not shocking. If you're watching these games, they are scheming

1043
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: up good plays. But what I think has gotten lost

1044
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: is so many of his great plays have been under pressure.

1045
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: Is that sustainable? I don't know, but he's dropped some dimes.

1046
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: If you watch the very first play of last week's game,

1047
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: it was one of the best throws I think Daniel

1048
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: Jones has made under pressure, moving to his left like

1049
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: fine Josh downs down the field while Zach Allen is

1050
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 1: like digging into his chest and that's like a soft

1051
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: layered throw. That's one aspect of what Daniel Jones is

1052
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: doing well. On his very last throw of the game,

1053
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: third and six, gotta have it under pressure again, he

1054
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: hits Tyler Warren in stride to get the first down.

1055
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: For some reason, Shane Stiken decided to stop playing football

1056
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 1: at that point. It should have cost him the game.

1057
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: It was the worst coaching move of the week. I'm

1058
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: sick of like results deciding how we look at it.

1059
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: It was an insane turtling up of Shane Steiken at

1060
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: that moment. But you know what, I look at that

1061
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: third and seven and think that is growth from Daniel

1062
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: Jones and ultimately, like I am trusting all the people

1063
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: around him, the system, the organization, the players around him

1064
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: to carry him.

1065
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 5: This week, Dimes has killed the blitz this season. Right,

1066
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 5: The Tennessee Titans were one of the list blitz rate

1067
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 5: teams in the NFL. There's familiarity here with the Shane

1068
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,439
Speaker 5: Steikin situation. I'm I'm feeling good about Cam Warred getting

1069
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 5: his first win, so yeah, I was. I heard those

1070
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 5: Survivor music, Greg, I thought, I thought you might be

1071
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 5: willing to lock up the cults here.

1072
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 3: Quarterback Island music.

1073
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,959
Speaker 1: Oh it's pretty much the same music. But I'm glad

1074
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: you brought that up. I was gonna save it for

1075
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: the end of the show. I did forget to pick

1076
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 1: a Survivor team this week. It's not being Annapolis Colts.

1077
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: The idea it's in the name is to survive and advanced,

1078
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,439
Speaker 1: to just keep going. And so I'm taking the team

1079
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: playing the Browns once a time.

1080
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 3: Are you looking at me when you were the.

1081
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers? Now I've loved your picks last two

1082
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: and now shows me you're taking it seriously. But I'm

1083
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: taking the Packers. I am not taking the Colts. I

1084
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: could see that happen. That is very much a Week

1085
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: three result, like Titans getting their first win, Colts coming

1086
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: back to Earth, even if I'm not ready to pick it.

1087
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 4: First of all, I've always taken this Survivor picks thing seriously.

1088
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 4: Just want to put that again on the record.

1089
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: You told me you weren't you didn't care at one point.

1090
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 3: That's you can't prove that.

1091
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 4: Also, So Patrick, I like the idea of like, I think,

1092
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 4: way friskier than we thought they would be. Tennessee overall

1093
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 4: team we knew kim Ward was going to be good.

1094
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 3: We hoped he would be good.

1095
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 4: He's even better, I think than a lot of people

1096
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 4: on the outside we're expecting. But he'd been doing all

1097
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 4: of this stuff since college, so we kind of saw

1098
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 4: it coming.

1099
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 3: He looks awesome. His line does not.

1100
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 4: That could be a difference maker for him. But I

1101
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,280
Speaker 4: also think that the Titans defense, which has looked creditable

1102
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 4: over the course of the first two games, where they

1103
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 4: are deeply susceptible, is against the run. I don't know

1104
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 4: that this bodes well against this particular Colts team. I

1105
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 4: don't know that it bodes well for the Titans to

1106
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 4: not give up a lot of points here.

1107
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: I know Daniel Jones is sucking up so much oxygen

1108
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: that nobody's noticed. Donovan Taylor's leading the league in machine

1109
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: and literally ran faster than any running back, any player

1110
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL since twenty twenty. It was Raheem Moster

1111
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: name drop for the second time in this show that

1112
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: had the fastest speed until that play by Jonathan Taylor

1113
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: a week ago. And oh, by the way, Tyler Warning

1114
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: is leading all tight ends in receiving.

1115
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 4: Two so it's crazy they're susceptible. The Titans are really

1116
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 4: susceptible on sweeps and screens as well. We saw that

1117
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 4: last week with Pukainakuo what he was able to do

1118
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 4: for an explosive gain and then one hundred and fifty

1119
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 4: rushing yards per game and the sixth highest explosive run rate.

1120
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 3: I don't think this is the Titans.

1121
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 4: Week, per se, but I do think they're still going

1122
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 4: to be fun to watch, and I love that for them.

1123
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: I think it could be they've they've done well. I mean,

1124
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,240
Speaker 1: not that it really matters. These are the new coaches,

1125
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: but in this rivalry somewhat over the years, and Brian

1126
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: Allen kind of needs some positivity. The Titans fans are

1127
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 1: getting a little restless. He's he's been in the middle

1128
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 1: of some bad decision making processes in each of these games.

1129
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: And they really built their team resource wise, and what

1130
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 1: they talked about was important to them on the offensive line,

1131
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: which has been a liability. That's always that's always a

1132
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: red flag when you when your focus is struggling, you

1133
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: gotta get worried. So we'll see fun little AFC South game.

1134
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: We picked the survivor. We went through all fifteen games

1135
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:22,720
Speaker 1: and we laughed a little.

1136
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 2: I had fun I had a lot of fun.

1137
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: I will be back in this feed on Thursday night

1138
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: with my little buddy, Nick Chef.

1139
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 2: Little Buddy's gonna survive. Let's have little Buddy love.

1140
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: It is absolutely happening. We're getting a lot of comments.

1141
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: That's just how I look at him, my little buddy.

1142
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: So check us out Thursday night. We're gonna make it fun.

1143
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: Bill's Dolphins. When you don't think that the game's going

1144
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: to be great, that's when it's going to be great,

1145
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: and that's when our performance is going to be great.

1146
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I didn't laugh Arder at the Tyler Dirton joke,

1147
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: and then I'm a I'm a jerk.

1148
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 6: Uh.

1149
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: We'll see you Thursday night, Bill's Office.

1150
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 2: M hm
