1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Me Around the NFL Podcast. I'm literally tired of good

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: voicing these stupid things. We've all hit our breaking points,

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: pandemic and there is money is Welcome to another edition

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: Hans is coming to you from a virtual room filled

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: with some heroes. Greg rositital Mark Sessler. What's up? Boys?

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: Is up? I like that Money telling it like it

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: is that your co worker, though, that's your coworker on

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: the Power ranking show now and he's working. He's working

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: on that show. He's called himself Money. When I go

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: pick up my child Luke. In the afternoons, I listened

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: to Petros and Money. Um, he's announcing Chargers game. This

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: is the one task that's been going on for a

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: decade that he's not received an American penny for. So

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: I could understand the agitation. Well, you can't. You can't

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: pay for this type of publicity that he's been getting

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: connected to this world renowned podcast. So that's the other

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: way to look at It's almost like an unpaid internship

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: for a wildly successful sportscaster. Okay, and yes, Money and

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: the Old Zeuser Every Tuesday, three pm Eastern noon Pacific

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: on NFL Network, the Power Ranking show. That's been a

22
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Um Boys, it's heating up. The whole

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: season's heating up as long as as long as we can,

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, dodge the rain drops on this COVID stuff.

25
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm really starting to enjoy the soap opera that is

26
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: every NFL season because we've got some real narratives that

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: are are heating up as as we head to the

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: sect toward the second half of the season, and we're

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna get into a bunch of happenings in the league

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: as we edge closer to Week seven. I know you're excited, Mark,

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: I honestly enjoyed this football season more than in the

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: past because we've to the razor's edge a few times

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: where it felt like with one more game shifting or

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: postponement that the NFL gets into a huge tangled web.

35
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: I I don't enjoy that tension, but that tension alone

36
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: makes the games happening, and I you know, we can

37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: talk about obviously the games that happened last night. I

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: don't remember my lifetime watching like a Monday afternoon game

39
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: um in Los Angeles in this time zone, taking place

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: like in a drizzly western New York Berg. I thought

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: that was sort of a beautiful thing to be able

42
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: to do at a really weird time in the day,

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: So thumbs up for me. It's also you know, you know,

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: to go into the office, you know, to get all

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: dressed up, the exhaustion factors a little bit lower, the

46
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: appreciate ation factors is hiked up a little bit. Well,

47
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: it's good to be distracted to this, you know. It's

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: like there was that concern I remember from the NBA

49
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: players when they were going to go into their bubble,

50
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: are we gonna distract from all the important things going on?

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, yea, this NFL season is totally

52
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: distracting me. I am very distracted. I can confirm that.

53
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: And you're right. Mark, back when we used to go

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: to the office, when we put on our penguin suits,

55
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, get the taxes on, and to sit at

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: our cubicles way dressed down. Now compared to them, let's

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: be honest, it wasn't much different in terms of what

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: we're wearing, maybe shorts versus pants, I mean, just the

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: whole process of having to go into the office, and

60
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, it's a head hauntcho in the break room.

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: You better get in and get your cool comment in.

62
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, a lot of that's just been

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: removed from the process. Oh, I hated those days, all right.

64
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: A lot to talk about a quarterback change, internal drama

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: around America's team. Thursday night football game too preview. But first, yes,

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: two football games played on Monday, only one of them

67
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: actual the broadcast rights of the Monday Night Football brand,

68
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: So let's start with the other one. I've never seen

69
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Andy that math. He definitely was not happy about what

70
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: we done down Gerald Williams and Andy Reid is mad

71
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: no more. That was Joe Buck of course, and Troy

72
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Aikman starting out with some comments about Andy. Andy was

73
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: hot there, but I'm sure he had smiles on his

74
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: face after the game. Seen a win for the Chiefs

75
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park against the Bills a rainy uh day

76
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: in western New York that did not play into a

77
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: positive situation for any either quarterback in this game. But

78
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: only one team handled it best, and that is the Chiefs.

79
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 1: The defending Champs. Clyde Edwards Hilaire goes for one six

80
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: one uh in leading the way, and the Chiefs are

81
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: five and one, and all of a sudden, greg the

82
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: Bills are in a two game losing streak and Josh

83
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: Allen not looking like the Josh Allen of the first

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: four weeks of this season. He hasn't and that you know,

85
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: he missed some throws early because of the rain, and

86
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: he made some good decisions, and there was a couple

87
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: of plays that receivers have made in the past. I'm

88
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: thinking of a third down throw bounces off of receiver's

89
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: helmet on the first drive. Uh, Stefan Diggs isn't able

90
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: to take in maybe Alan's best throw of the day

91
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: in the end zone later in the first up, and

92
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: they only got seven drives. So there's this whole strategy. Well,

93
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: let's make Mahomes earn it, let's keep let's um try

94
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: to uh make them earn it with all these rushing yards,

95
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: and that only works if you can get the Chiefs

96
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: off the field on third down and Mahomes hit a

97
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: third third end goal I think from the third teen

98
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: to Kelsey, he hit a third and fifteen, and he

99
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: hit a third and twelve later in the game. So

100
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: suddenly you shortened the game, and you just shorten the

101
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: time you're about to lose. And so I thought the

102
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: two um strategies that the Bills had in terms of

103
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: offense and defense didn't really match up because they weren't

104
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: sharpen up offensively to go along with that strategy that

105
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: they had defensively. Yeah, and I think that we're watching

106
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: in real time a Bill's defense that for years has

107
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: sort of been the lynch pin of who they are,

108
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: and uh, could could get them wins when the offense couldn't,

109
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: you know, do their part um fall apart. I mean

110
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: they gave up four d and sixty six yards. And

111
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes these games have strange little moments and

112
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: and my favorite drive of the entire season materialized in

113
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: the third quarter of this one, a third quarter that

114
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: you know sometimes we do like these sky Sports hits

115
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday, which would come at the end of the

116
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: third quarter, and you'd think to yourself, because you might

117
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: not be watching the game that sky Sports is watching,

118
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: I could go make a cup of cocoa right now,

119
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: I could go take a walk around the block. I've

120
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: got a solid twenty minutes until you know, you jump

121
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: on with them. But in this case, the way this quarter,

122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: third quarter win it tripped away in like two seconds.

123
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: Because this drive that Kansas City run, this seven minute

124
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: forty seven March thirteen, plays eighties seven yards. And I

125
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: understand that everyone loves the Chiefs because of what Holmes

126
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: does acrobatically, artistically, athletically week after week. I love them

127
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: switching it up in ugly weather in western New York

128
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: and running the ball right down Buffalo's throat. That game

129
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: or that tribe ended with that Darryl Williams touchdown that

130
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: we talked about that you know, was a bomb to

131
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, who was ready to flip out on the sideline.

132
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: It was twenty three. There was plenty of time left.

133
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: The contest to me, felt entirely over at that point.

134
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: I just loved Andy Reid on the eve of the

135
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: World Series thrown a change up to the Bills thet

136
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: rushing attempts, which is tied for the most that he's

137
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: ever called in twenty one years as a head coach,

138
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: accounting for the two five yards. And sometimes you don't

139
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: overthink it. I mean Edwards Hilaire, who obviously is going

140
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: to have company now with Levy on Bell. But you

141
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: look at what they were able to do um and

142
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: you wonder whether Bell should be jumping into the mix.

143
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: He will be obviously involved in some capacity, but you

144
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 1: would think this is a game you want to build

145
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: off with Edwards Hilaire. And the other thought that I

146
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: had was, yes, the downside of not turning Patrick Mahomes

147
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: loose and maybe you couldn't because of the conditions and

148
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: not letting him be the mad bomber that just destroys

149
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: teams with deep strikes. The one thing that the negative

150
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: that is that the game's gonna probably stay closer and

151
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna stay tight. So when the Bills got that

152
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: score to get it to six points, Uh, under most circumstances,

153
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: you might start to get a little bit nervous. You're

154
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: gonna get this game taken out from under you. But

155
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes as your quarterback, everything's fine as long

156
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: as nobody else messes up. And Edwards Laire nearly did

157
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: with a fumble that was rightly called back because his

158
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: knee was down, but Mahomes made the plays. And the

159
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: Bills defense is a capital a capital P problem right now. Uh.

160
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: They can't get a big stop right Their defensive line

161
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: has been battle year. Really, they have problems everywhere. They

162
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: miss Matt Milano certainly, but one guy you know at

163
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: linebacker is not going to change the sole defense. There's

164
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: no juice in terms of their pass rush pressure, and

165
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: they're a team that doesn't love to send extra guys.

166
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: So Jerry Hughes, he's sort of defied um time for years.

167
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he's getting a little older. You give Trent Murphy.

168
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: Murphy a healthy scratch last night. He's one of the

169
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: highest cap numbers on your team at Oliver hasn't totally popped.

170
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: Their kind of an easy team to run against. And

171
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: then they're a little thinner in the back end to

172
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: where I think Norman can be picked on to Ron Johnson,

173
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: their slot corner can be picked up. That all said,

174
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was varsity j V like

175
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: Steelers Browns to me, even though it didn't show up

176
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: that way. It was four dred and sixty six yards

177
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: and two or six. With that said, I I still

178
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: think Mahomes gets most of the credit because he's the

179
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: one and a lot of times calling these play, you know,

180
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: deciding to run because he looks and he's staying patient.

181
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: And again like on that game winning field goal drive,

182
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: it takes him extending the play on third in thirteen

183
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: and hitting that throw to make that sort of strategy work,

184
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: because the Bills did stop um. The Chiefs running the

185
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: ball on their last two drives and it takes Mahomes

186
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: kind of bailing them out after two early down runs

187
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: in the red zone with that beautiful throw to Kelsey.

188
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: So that's like the start of it all. And then

189
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: you just play smart and you have a good running game,

190
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: and you you lose Mitchell Schwartz and you're all uh disco,

191
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, having new guys in the interior offensive line too,

192
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: So it's like running the ball is smart, but it

193
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: all starts with Mahomes. I think. I think next week, though,

194
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: it's like the Broncos, they're gonna keep ring. I think

195
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: teams are gonna keep running the strategy where it's like, okay,

196
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: run for two hundred yards and we'll take our chances.

197
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: But it did remind me I like the varsity g

198
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: v UM comparison there, because like Pittsburgh and Cleveland, I

199
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: thought that the Chiefs forget the score, as you mentioned

200
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: in they broke them. I think they tamed them, they

201
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: silenced them. You're watching Daniel Kilgore at center just mall

202
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: whatever Buffalo put up against him. They were running for

203
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: eight yards per carries. So sometimes it's the matchup two

204
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: and you trust read too. If there's a soft belly

205
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: in Buffalo's defense, he just went after it over and over.

206
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: And the one thing about the Chiefs the Travis Kelsey

207
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: had a pretty killer fumble at the end of the half.

208
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: That kind of thing gets in the heads of some teams.

209
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey was furious about that they mentioned it. That he

210
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: came out that he was joined on everyone in the

211
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: in the locker room because he's had some up and

212
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: down moments in this early season. But by the end

213
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: of halftime, he's hugging Eric b enemy. They're composed, their

214
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: back in action and they and totally exert their will.

215
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: This is a different team. You play the Chiefs and

216
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: they put you in your tier, and I think they

217
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: put Buffalo in their tier. In the a f C.

218
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: You're not at Kansas City's level on any at any

219
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: point right now. Offensively, they their team and he needs

220
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: to score thirty points a week. In the last two weeks,

221
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: their offense hasn't done it. And yet the Raiders put

222
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in their place. In Kansas City's previous game,

223
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: which just speaks to, you know, the week to week

224
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: nature of our league. But yeah, the Chiefs are fun

225
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: to watch their offense, especially just so layered. Okay, let's

226
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: get to the late game. Here's first and ten Kyler

227
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Murray diep shot cut a man at Christian Kark. How

228
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: about eighty yards to the house, just like that. ESPN

229
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: Steve Levy with the call. Are the Cardinals girre the Cowboys?

230
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: Derrel baby both alright? The Cardinals thirty eight Cowboys Tan

231
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and his homecoming he grew up in North Texas.

232
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: Three touchdowns including yes that rainball, beautiful deep strike to

233
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk eight yards that effectively settled matters in the

234
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: second quarter, and Mark the defense took it home from there,

235
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: befuddling Andy Dalton and Buddha Baker out front with the

236
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: tremendous game sack, pick, force, bumble two QB. It's total

237
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: effort by the Cardinals in the Cowboys that fell a mess. Yeah,

238
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is another game where I think the

239
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: matchup just was a disaster for Dallas where they I

240
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: believe Erica Tamposey had a couple of snaps at right guard.

241
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: At one point, um Zack Martin went down. There's nothing

242
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: along the Dallas line. And but yet this is not

243
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: an Andy. This is not a pick on Andy Dalton

244
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: game for me, because week after week, why do you

245
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: assume I'm like an offensive lineman, like I'm that big? Well,

246
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: I think they were. They were like a tiny like cornerback.

247
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: That's well, I think you weren't big enough because super yeah,

248
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: or like the hot quarterback. I'll rethink. I'll rethink my

249
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: position um area for you to play when you get

250
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: into the game, remarks final show. Yes, I'll be seeing

251
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: you later. I mean, I watching this Cowboys defense week

252
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: after week and it's there's a third and tent play

253
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: and it's like kind of a child knows that at

254
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: this point, with the Cardinals trying to work them their

255
00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: way out of a little bit of a funk, that

256
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna lean on your on your biggest strength, and

257
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: its third in tenant, Kyler Murray scrambles for a first down.

258
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: There's a later play where it's fourth and one and

259
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray rushes for eleven yards with literally nobody around

260
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: him at all. And to me, that's the Dallas defense.

261
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: I and we'll get into some of the stuff going

262
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: on there, but it is adds if they had never

263
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: perceived of Kyler Murray or never that maybe someone like

264
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: little Debbie is watching more Kyler Murray tape and more

265
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals tape than Dallas does. They look completely disorganized and

266
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: it was only a matter of time where once their

267
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: offense starts creating their own mistakes. And Zeke Elliott and

268
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: that's a different type of fumble hit. The look on

269
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: his face when he had his first fumble was one

270
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: of dejection and one of this team is lost already.

271
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: Completely different to what I just mentioned about Kelsey. I

272
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: think this team was broken early in this game too. Yeah,

273
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: I think so. And you know from the from the

274
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals side, and like we'll we'll pick on Dalton like

275
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: you said, this is not a pick on Daltony? Well

276
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: why not? I mean he awful? I think I mean

277
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: he have you have you ever have you seen a

278
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: guy stare down more open receivers and not let go

279
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: of the ball. I know that, not alone, I get it.

280
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: But to me, the the Cowboys defense is only gonna

281
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: make a handful of stops every game, maybe in a row,

282
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: and they did that like four drives in a row

283
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: to start the game. And Zeke has given the ball away,

284
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: so you're you're totally done. Then if Zeke is giving

285
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: the ball away and Dalton was trying to give the

286
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: ball away and the Cardinals wouldn't take it early, like

287
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: that's it. You're only gonna get so many stops. Then

288
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: the defense collapse and it's a total mess. I do

289
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: think though, with Murray, I give that. I'm not gonna

290
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: pick on them too much because to me, he's he's

291
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: like the fastest, that's like quarterback. And I know Lamar

292
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: Jackson was just a year ago um and Kyler is

293
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: similar but just as fast and is better at avoiding hits.

294
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: Like some of those players are almost unstoppable. And Kyler

295
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: Murray and their passing game is still a problem, Like

296
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: he completed less than half his passes and they need

297
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: to be more consistent. Uh in general, but some of

298
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: those play calls where like he tosses it to himself

299
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: on a fake toss, I don't know what. No one's

300
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: gonna stop that. Uh, it makes them so dangerous. I'm

301
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: not sure about their defense and I'm not sure about

302
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: their their passing offense. Um. But man, they're running games

303
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: should be good like each week. It didn't show on

304
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night because Dallas has so many issues right now.

305
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: But Chandler Jones uh not being there is is gonna

306
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: hurt them. Um. And they have a huge measuring stick

307
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: game against the Seahawks coming up. So uh, they're gonna

308
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: enter that game with a lot of confidence because of

309
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: how well they played in this game. Uh. And they

310
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: deserve it on the on the Cowboys side of things.

311
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, I think Kyler's murder. Kyler's helmet

312
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: is about ten percent smaller this year. It's still there's

313
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: the proportion is still off where it does still feel

314
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: like it's like when he's like scattering scampering down the sideline.

315
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: But I think he has a little list win resistance

316
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: on that helmet and that's leading to better production with

317
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: his legs. That's just the theory. You know, less of

318
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: a spaceman's helmet than been in previous right, not not

319
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: not to be a child of the eighties, but you

320
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: remember in what was it Spaceballs and Rick Moranis had

321
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: the giant Darth Vader helmet. Still kind of has that

322
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: that vibe a little bit. But that's what do I

323
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: need to know more about you? That you saw Spaceballs

324
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: but have never seen Star Wars. That is like the

325
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: most clear cut Dan Hans, this like differentiator out there.

326
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: I didn't get a lot of the jokes, but it

327
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: was a great sight gag. The helmet was so big,

328
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: all right, cowboys, whoa what a mess? And um as

329
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: bad as they looked and Dalton did look lost and

330
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: maybe you know, we talked about it. It was the

331
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: the reckoning for the Dalton scale. But the one thing

332
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: in West pointed out on Twitter that game was in

333
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: prime time. Two was his first start in prime time.

334
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: He always stinks like that. We gotta get him into

335
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: some early Sunday games and he'll start lightening it up

336
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: with c D and Gallop and Cooper. I still think

337
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna have good numbers there. But he was real bad,

338
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: real bad on Monday. Now to Film Networks, Jane Slater

339
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: reported on Tuesday, the players are starting to uh speak

340
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: out about their unhappiness behind the scenes. One player one

341
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: player told Slater that Mike McCarthy's staff is quote totally unprepared.

342
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: They don't teach, they don't have any sense of adjusting

343
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: on the fly. Another Plater player told Slater they just

344
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: aren't good at their jobs, and Greg, this does summon memories. Yeah,

345
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: it's summons memories of that hit piece on McCarthy near

346
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: the end of his Packers reign, where that thing was

347
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: winding down and there was some some issues behind the

348
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: scenes there and there was their port I think was

349
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: it that Mike McCarthy was getting a full body massage

350
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: while team meeting was supposed to happen or something like

351
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: stuff like that, And the players are unhappy the fact

352
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: that it's happening this early in the Dallas tenure when

353
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: they're playing so poorly. Uh, this is not a good sign. Now.

354
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: My favorite part of that report is, you know the

355
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys players, they had been, you know, all in lockstep

356
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: at keeping this in house for a while, but you

357
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: know they couldn't wait anymore. Here we are. We let's

358
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: absolutely bury our coaches. Um. It's delightful. I like the

359
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: theory um proposed by the athletics Bob Sturm, who I

360
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: like a lot that this is still Jason Garrett's fault,

361
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: that the country club culture where the players are like

362
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: the Kings and are always right is still permeating in

363
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: this franchise, and I would still I would agree on

364
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: just a little bit with that and give it a

365
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: little more, uh, you know higher up at Jerry Jones,

366
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: where I do think, um, the I but that's a

367
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: serious theory. Now that was a serious theory. I do

368
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: think there is something to this team where they are superstars.

369
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: They believe their own hype, that the players are always

370
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: prioritize over the coaches. That that's not a that's not

371
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: a secret since Jimmy Johnson has been there. Um, because

372
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: the ownership they always have. The ownership's here, and I

373
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: think they're because of that, they feel emboldened somewhat uh

374
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: to talk like this about the guys who can bench you.

375
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: And so I do think there there's something too. It

376
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the players aren't right, uh, and that

377
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: the coaches are doing a poor job. I think the

378
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: worst thing you can do as a coach is try

379
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: to have your scheme and fit the players that are

380
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: there into your scheme no matter what, despite what they're

381
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: good at. And I think that's what we're seeing here.

382
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: Like in Nolan scheme, it's like you need these big

383
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: guys up front to occupy blockers, and it's like they

384
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: don't have those guys and that's why people are just

385
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: cutting through them. And you you see the communication breakdowns

386
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: in the secondary. They've allowed the most points um through

387
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: six weeks since integration. That that's the way I thought

388
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter last night, that was the way they put it. Yeah,

389
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: it was the fourties. I mean, I think that just

390
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: puts you in a mental space of it was a

391
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: little bit of a different NFL the last time this

392
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: many points were given up, and I were just point

393
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: to like, so Mike McCarthy, it's about a year ago

394
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: that our reporter NFL Network uh you know star at

395
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: this point, Tom Pallisero wrote that think piece I guess

396
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: you would call it on Mike McCarthy about the epiphanies

397
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: he was havinging that he maybe read a book on

398
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: analytics and had a whole new, uh window into what

399
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: that could offer. And then he goes down and you know,

400
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the cowboys don't go and look at out of the

401
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: box people. Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy fall in love

402
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: with each other over the course of a day and

403
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: drinks at Jerry Jones's house and they hire Mike McCarthy.

404
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: And then you look at how Jerry Jones started in

405
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: the NFL by firing Tom Landry Um, which was sacrilegious

406
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: in Dallas obviously, but to get a totally raw, fresh

407
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: um NFL face and Jimmy Johnson who comes from Miami,

408
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: and it is a culture hammer. He changes things and

409
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: it isn't players talking over coaches and all that stuff.

410
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: But ever since then, kind of like you know, when

411
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: you move away from like we've talked about this before,

412
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: he went completely other end of the spectrum after the

413
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: breakup with Jimmy Johnson, and he proceeds to hire Barry Switzer,

414
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: who just inherits like George seafor did in San Francisco,

415
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: a good roster, and after being caught eating a hot

416
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: dog on the sideline during the Pro Bowl, goes and

417
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: wins a Super Bowl with Jimmy Johnson's players the next year. Okay,

418
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: then they hire Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, Bill Parcels, Nice

419
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Hire Wade Phillips, Jason Garrett, and now Mike McCarthy. These

420
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: are all essentially old school veteran coaches that aren't going

421
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: to bring something new. And Mike McCarty, after selling I

422
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: think Jimmy Johnson a bill of goods about being this

423
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: new coach, and you know time will tell goes and

424
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: hires Nolan, who couldn't be more of an old school

425
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: old boys friend of friends pick for your defensive coordinator.

426
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think some of this, some of these

427
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: seeds were sown when Jerry Johnson, Jerry Jones refused to

428
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: broad in a net and look for someone that could

429
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: change Cowboy's culture. Jerry Jones turned seventy eight last week,

430
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: and um, he is not blameless in this, and it's

431
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: beyond just who he's choosing as the coach, because Mike

432
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: McCarthy and Mike Nolan will will end up being fall guys.

433
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: If this thing really goes off the rails, and it

434
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: might even be a one and done situation, who knows,

435
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: because like I said, Jarald just turned seventy eight, uh,

436
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: and the clock's ticking and the heat he wants results.

437
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: And if this thing continues to spiral and players are

438
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: you know, abandoning the ship, it might force the hand

439
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: of ownership. And I just I think one thing, it's

440
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: While I don't think McCarthy was a necessarily an exhilarating

441
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: higher I feel like he is a bit of a

442
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: scapegoat here because he didn't inherit um a good defense,

443
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: and he, Mike Nolan, is being asked to make do

444
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: with a defense that doesn't have a lot of parts.

445
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: And then you factor in a ton of injuries that

446
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: have compounded the situation and put the Cowboys know behind

447
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: the eight ball. They had a roster that had holes

448
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: and now would viciously depleted roster because of injuries. So

449
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: it to me, it's kind of you can't put it

450
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: on one thing. It's everything that's kind of come together

451
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: as a poop sandwich in Dallas. And maybe McCarthy and

452
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: Nolan are the fall guys here, but there's a lot

453
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: of things that have come into play here. But they

454
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: spending a lot of money on defense. I mean, the

455
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin signing hasn't worked, but de Marcus Lawrence is

456
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: one of the highest paid defensive lineman in the league

457
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 1: and is is really struggling. Alden Smith has been an

458
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: amazing signing. Jalen Smith has really struggled as making a

459
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: lot of money. Vander Rash is a key piece. He's there.

460
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not without talent. They have some high

461
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: draft picks in the secondary. So I think a lot

462
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: of his coaching, A ton of it is injuries. Of course,

463
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean the offensive line is is decimated. Um, but

464
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: I really was annoyed how often we heard last night

465
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: how the Cowboys weren't expecting that much of a drop

466
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: off after going to Dalton. It's like, BS, they pay

467
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: one guy thirty one million and the other guy three million,

468
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: and you're not expecting much of a drop off. You

469
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: should expect a lot of a drop off. You should

470
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: know what you have with Dak Prescott. And it was

471
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: a reminder to all the clowns who are always like, well,

472
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: you know, well with a lot of this, you know,

473
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: production is like when they're coming back in games or

474
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: it's down thirty, it's like playing quarterback and putting up

475
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: a lot of points. It is hard, no matter what

476
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: the score is. And I think we were reminded, you know,

477
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: you see that watching terrible offenses every week that can't

478
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: do it, and when whether it's garbage time or not.

479
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: We saw last date it's like Andy Dalton was bad

480
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: at every point of the game, Like they didn't start

481
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: scoring points once they were they were way down, and

482
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: they shouldn't need a reminder how good Doc is. I

483
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: I'd actually don't think they really did. I think he'll

484
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: always be there, but man, this there's no way they'll

485
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: ever let Doc go. If this season goes how I

486
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 1: think it's gonna go, I'd be shocked. Yeah, the like

487
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it creates more indecision about Dak the

488
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: s injury. I think it just hammers home the certainty

489
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: that they're going to give him the world and be like,

490
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: all right, save us, which maybe isn't the best way

491
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: to look at it either, because they were having issues

492
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: when Dak was lighting up the world. They just have

493
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: so much work to do and probably the biggest like

494
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: career jolt and we and you know, I know, I

495
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: think we're all kind of we get where we are

496
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton. But there's a lot of flowery talk

497
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: about this is the you know, opportunity for Andy Dalton

498
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: to show that he should be a starter next season

499
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: for another team. I mean, that's fine, and he couldn't.

500
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, outside of the offensive line, he's never been

501
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: surrounded with this type of starry weaponry. But it's still

502
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton and the team that goes and signs Andy

503
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: Dalton as their starter next year, is going to get

504
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: this player, and so I don't that that narrator never

505
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: signed it. Last night. Now we have that information, but

506
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: a week ago it was like, hey, you know, and

507
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: I was you know, he threw the ball aggressively to

508
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup at the end of last game. Maybe this

509
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: is a new Dalton and he's gonna get you know,

510
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: great audition. And the whole thing is exactly exactly the

511
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: story lines become become absurd within he's not going anywhere

512
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: either he and he's going to continue to be there.

513
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: I I still think he's gonna put up numbers. But

514
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton primetime order to playoff game has never just annoyed.

515
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: All their games are gonna matter so much because the

516
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: NFC East. It's funny because they keep showing the standings

517
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: and how embarrassing it is. But I don't think people

518
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 1: even understand how embarrassing because most of those wins they

519
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: have are against each other that the division is to

520
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: fifteen and one right now outside the division in both

521
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: those wins, but we're just by the skin of their teeth,

522
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: including that on site kick recovery two fifteen and one.

523
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: They're basically the worst team in the NFL as a division.

524
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: All Right, stick a pin in that, because we have

525
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: a great Thursday night football game coming up, and we're

526
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: gonna preview that at the end of the show. But

527
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: first there's a little bit more news to get to.

528
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: It revolves around the Miami Dolphins, who despite coming off

529
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: two resounding victories that have moved them into the playoff race,

530
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: into the a FC East Race. How about that? Uh?

531
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: They make the move to uh is the new quarterback? UH?

532
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: Starting quarterback of the team, Ryan Fitzpatrick heads to the bench,

533
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: and man, it makes too much sense to get the

534
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Dolphins straight from the most famous Dolphins

535
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: fan in Westchester, UH area of Los Angeles. That is

536
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: the great Henry Hodgson, the vice president of International here

537
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: in NFL Media and late of the Dave Damashek football program.

538
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: He's got a mike and he's got a platform, and

539
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna deliver. Did you love it, Hank?

540
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: Would you think of the decision by the Dolphins? I

541
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: am super excited. Hello friends, It's nice to see you all.

542
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: I thought I would hate to talk about Mark Spurring,

543
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: so I'm not prepared to this, but a mobile ambush

544
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: interview with We'll try, We'll try and speak about to

545
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: her instead. No, I look, I'm I'm I'm super excited.

546
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: From the moment that he threw that two yard dump

547
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: off to Patrick Laird, it was clear that this was

548
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: a man who who is who's destined for greatness UM,

549
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: and so I'm extremely exciting. But the rollout throw to

550
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: was left actually was was pretty good. I mean I

551
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: I immediately thought like, he is quick. And you know what,

552
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: there's not a there's not a single um. There's not

553
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: a single NFL player who can make that throw that

554
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: is starting on Sundays because none of them are left

555
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: handed like that is there is something too that I

556
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: feel like that's literally it's impossible for the others. I

557
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: do think that, you know that the NFL is a

558
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: better place when there are left handed quarterbacks in the league.

559
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: Having a left handed quarterback around is fun. It looks

560
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: strange people get freaked out by the whole thing, but

561
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: that's exciting in itself. But I mean, other than that,

562
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: this is something that Dolphins fans, you know, they started

563
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: talking about to being a Dolphins player in like eighteen

564
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: and it's taken all this time. You took the time,

565
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: and then they tanked for two or last year apparently,

566
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: although you didn't really work out the way it did.

567
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: But then he got injured. Then they managed to be

568
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: in position to draft him without having to trade up

569
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: or doing doing anything else. And then there's this feeling

570
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: of Okay, he's here, now when do we actually get

571
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: to see him? And the pressure has been building and

572
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: building and building over the last few weeks. People were

573
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: obviously you know, wanted to see him in the in

574
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: the back half of that UM defeat at the forty

575
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: nine is a couple of weeks ago, and that didn't happen.

576
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: So I was kind of I'd counted it out as

577
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: I was, I think one of the only people in

578
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: the world watching the Jets Dolphins game rightly, by the way,

579
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: anyone who decided to choose backpack his Buccaneers instead. Um

580
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: and uh. And then it happened and it was super exciting.

581
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: And now we've got to wait another twelve days to

582
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: to to see it again. But I think it will

583
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: be what it's like the twelve Days of Christmas. And

584
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: you think, do you think that, because there's you know,

585
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: people out there, like, I get the it's an abrupt

586
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: switch because Fitzpatrick is Fitzpatrick there, He's got good energy,

587
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: he's been playing lights out, they've been winning, and so

588
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: some thinking, why are you making this switch? I get

589
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: why a Dolphins fan, Dolphins sneaky gone without a quarterback

590
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: that really generated like um metropolitan energy in Miami since

591
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: Dan Marino. I don't. I'm not putting Ryan Tannehill in

592
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: that class it all or anyone else on the m

593
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: v P Ryan tan Well, right, and not in Miami though, please,

594
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 1: But do you think that this was the plan in

595
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 1: terms of the timing from the very beginning saying no

596
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: matter what Fitzpatrick's doing, um barring if t of progresses,

597
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: as we think from the summer on, we're making the

598
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: switch before the bye week to fully integrate him and

599
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: give him the best chance to start versus on the fly,

600
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: which is you know, this happened at a weird time,

601
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: but maybe this was the plan all along. Jump in

602
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: real quick because it turns out that three there's three

603
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: people in this podcast that watched the Jets Dolphins in

604
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: real time on Sunday, which you can't find a grouping

605
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: of three people anywhere else in the world that could

606
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: say that before you take it, Henry ran this. Patrick

607
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: didn't play very well on Sunday. I thought that maybe

608
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: could have been a factor twenty four nothing. He got

609
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: papered over and the Jets are miserable. But with the

610
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: bye week combined with them back that uh, they struggled

611
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: on third down. He threw some bad as, he had

612
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: some interceptions. I wonder if that played in it all

613
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I mean, the Dolphins have had three wins,

614
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: but in those three wins, fitz has had three good

615
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: halves and then the second half in each of them

616
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: has been a little bit disappointing. Some of that is

617
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: because they were so far in front against all three clubs,

618
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: against the Jags and the Jets this week that they

619
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, they maybe they took their foot off the

620
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: gas of it. But Fits, I think you're right down

621
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: to especially did not look good against the Jets. I

622
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: think in terms of timing, they moved the bye week,

623
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: so originally I think the Dolphins had like a week

624
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: eleven by and then as part of all the reshuffle

625
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago thereby got moved to week six,

626
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: so that that may have made them think that this

627
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: is the right time to do it. I think overall, though,

628
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: and this is a point I was making this morning

629
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: to Dan Chagrin on Twitter, that that is the point

630
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: that I think when the Dolphins hired Brown Florist, they

631
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: gave him a five year guaranteed contract, which doesn't typically

632
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: happen for head coaches. You know, it's guaranteed that you

633
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: get all five years. It's often like a three or

634
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: four year contract with with options, um I think, and

635
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: then they given permission to make a bunch of trades,

636
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,239
Speaker 1: or him and Chris Career, the general manager, to make

637
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of trades. Last year. I think the first

638
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: two years were essentially like write offs. Let's go go

639
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: build this team and mold. It's the youngest team in

640
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: the NFL right now, so fits getting to like nine

641
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: and seven year. If you leave them in there, you

642
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: wind up being in the same spot as you were

643
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: in before, as one of those teams that floats between

644
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: seven and nine and nine and seven, and you're in

645
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: that miserable midpack of the NFL. So let's let's let

646
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: two a go and make the mistakes if if there

647
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It was actually what happened in the first

648
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: year with Adam Gaze where they accidentally went to the

649
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: playoffs and then as a result of that, expectations get

650
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: reset the whole way through. You might as well, let's

651
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: let someone learn on the job, let someone potentially fail,

652
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: find out what you've got in your piece, and then

653
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully you know, fingers crossed going to one

654
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: with a quarterback who can who can you know take

655
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: you further than nine and seve. I mean, I think

656
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: they can win with division with Yeah, I think they gotta.

657
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 1: I gotta. I think they got a shot. I think

658
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: the Bills are the favorites. But seeing that the Dolphins

659
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: are tenth in d v O A right now, it

660
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me. They've won three games by blowout. They're

661
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: doing some uh really well coached, exciting things. I think

662
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: you gotta make the move because the only thing that matters,

663
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: the thing that matters most this year is developing to

664
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: a and so they're watching him every day. If they

665
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: think he's ready to play now and they didn't obviously

666
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: in Week one, then you play him like, I'm just

667
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: gonna trust Brian Flores. He's been a good coach and

668
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: that's the number one thing. Initially, it reminded me of

669
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: the Giants. I remember being in New York when they

670
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: benched Kurt Warner at five and four, I think was

671
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: the record for Eli. And Eli came in and they

672
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: were suddenly the worst offense in the league and he

673
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: was the worst quarterback in the league. But you know

674
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: what Eli said all throughout his career that that experience

675
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: made him so much better, and he came into his

676
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: year two way better. He took a massive leap, and

677
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: he said that experience was part of it. So if

678
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: they think too us ready, you don't want to put

679
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: him in a bad situation. But I kind of think

680
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,959
Speaker 1: the fact that they're a decent team around him makes

681
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: me want to play him even more well. And and

682
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: the other bit, Greg, Greg and I have a long

683
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: text chain which focuses solely on the Miami Dolphins offensive line.

684
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: He has done over the last few weeks is pretty

685
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: exciting two teams people. He just loves it so much.

686
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: But I think that's played into it as well. The

687
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins have three rookies starting on the offensive line, but

688
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: they have been surprisingly better than than expected, and so

689
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: I think again with the bye week being moved up,

690
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: with the offensive line looking certainly a lot better than

691
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,959
Speaker 1: a day a year ago. They feel confident that Tour

692
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: who's now a year removed from that injury, who's obviously

693
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: had time to pick up the playbook even without training

694
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: camp and everything that happened, like now is the time

695
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: and and and Greg's right, you know fits his the

696
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: twentie best quarterback. I don't I don't know who where

697
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: the QB index where West has in this week, but

698
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: he's been floating at you know, somewhere between thirty two

699
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: and twenty. Let's say, UM two has the upside. So

700
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: why not why not put the guy in who could

701
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: potentially take me further this year but definitely can't do

702
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: in future years. Here's another theory, Hank, before we say goodbye,

703
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: because I know you have important vice president of international

704
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: stuff to tend to. Uh does this announcement go down

705
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 1: or does this report come out today? If the Bills

706
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: don't lose yesterday, and all of a sudden, they're thinking

707
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: in Miami, okay, we're three and three, our defense is

708
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: getting better, we're certified frisky. Over in l A, they

709
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: get the Herbert lift. What if to Ah is ready.

710
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: We get the to a lift and we can steal

711
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: this damn division. I initially didn't like it, and maybe

712
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: because I like Ryan Fitzpatrick. Uh, but it might as

713
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: well start the future while also potentially bettering the present

714
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: because it it maybe puts the ceiling a little bit higher. Yeah,

715
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean maybe that plays into it. I definitely think

716
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: that the division more open than we thought it was

717
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: two weeks ago before the Bills lost two on the trunk.

718
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: So listen to this conversation we're having in weeks. But damn,

719
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, for you this is you know two years ago,

720
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: three years ago, you were able to be excited because

721
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: you had a new young quartaback who'd done nothing, and

722
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: and you know, three years from now, the chances are

723
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: as as a broken Dolphins fan, I will I'll probably

724
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: be sitting feeling the same way about my team as you.

725
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: But I'm enjoying today because if you can't enjoy today,

726
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: then you can't enjoy it Before you go, Henry, I

727
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: want you to enjoy something else because you know, you're

728
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: very humble, but you're a key member of this international

729
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: Pathway program. I feel like it's been a big year

730
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: for the international players. My lot is in there for

731
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles, never played before. He's playing left tackle. You

732
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: got Yakob Johnson, Yeah, you got a Patriots starting offensive

733
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: linemen with Greg's arm behind his back, and that the

734
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: Pathway program is taken over him. But Henry, why not

735
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 1: why not bring Greg onto your you know, high falutin

736
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: meeting to pitch what you've What he's just said here,

737
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: it sounds like he might be promoted. You might be

738
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: promoted for the eighth time since I've known you, I mean,

739
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, everyone wins. Um, Well, yes, thank you much.

740
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: And then might look, I'm super excited about the player

741
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: Popey program and that Gregg is exactly right there, you know,

742
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: jurding my life. I was had never played down of

743
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: football before he came into the NFL. The first time

744
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: he went to a football game, he was playing in it.

745
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: That in itself is is a pretty remarkable thing. Um.

746
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: And so yeah, super excited for him, for Yakob Johnson.

747
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: Lots of lots of new things coming from from international players.

748
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: And what happens to the international players who don't work out?

749
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: Do they just are they silently removed from the equation

750
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 1: and then never seen from again. Maybe put deep below

751
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: the earth. No no, no, they go back to their

752
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: home countries and hone their craft, um to to get

753
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: better and and if if nothing else, to take the

754
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: coaching on that they of um that they in the

755
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: NFL to to bring some new people. Yet. So that's

756
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you. One more thing done, because I

757
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: know you're a Fits fan. Can I just say this

758
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: has this for a little a little theory that's coming

759
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: um Fits the who who you know tour was his apprentice,

760
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: becomes the apprentice to Chan Gailey, who's I think in

761
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: his late seventies, to take over as the Dolphins offensive

762
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: coordinator year from now Kellen Moore style um and goes

763
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: on to a NFL coaching career. By the time he

764
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: retires as a as an NFL head coach in thirty years,

765
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't shaved his beard once during that whole time,

766
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: and it's down below his knees. I don't know. I

767
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: see as Fitzpatrick is maybe as a renaissance man that

768
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: wants to do other things outside the football world. I'm

769
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: also not convinced he's not going to be still playing

770
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: when he's fifty. Hey. One more thing, Henry uh since

771
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: you're the pathway guy. Uh, Ricky hit it and now

772
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: keeping up? So what do you got I don't have

773
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: anything on Marrit's right now. I'm afraid, guys. I mean

774
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: he he has gone back. You know, the the Schwabish

775
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: Hall Unicorns will be welcoming back with open arms um

776
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: to go play wide receiver, tight end and pass on

777
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: a lot of his experience from the NFL so that

778
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: young unicorns can can join the player pathway program in

779
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: the future. Is it, Ricky? And that's keeping up all right? Henry?

780
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: We love you buddy. It's lovely to see you, guys.

781
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: Take care, love for you all to west if he's

782
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: listening as well, and we'll catch up soon. Have fun

783
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: at your corporate meeting. Thank you. Mark. If you want

784
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: to join, you know, feel free to jump in. No,

785
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: I'm satisfied on that front. There he goes, the King

786
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: of Britain, the King of the international program, Henry Hodgson,

787
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: always good to see and here from Hank. All right,

788
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: before we sign off. As we mentioned earlier, NFC East

789
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: is a dump. It's like a floating dump. Um off

790
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: Staten Island right now and everybody is puzzled how it

791
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: could have gotten this bad. Uh, this is how bad

792
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: it's gotten. We'll start it out this way. Mark. The

793
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: Giants play the Eagles on Thursday night on Fox and

794
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: NFL Network Pacific A twenty eastern. Both teams are still

795
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: in good shape and alive. If they lose, even though

796
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: they only have one win in week seven, it's it's

797
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: incredibly messy. And I think you know, Greg, you put

798
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: it well, it's a messy too unprecedented um levels That said,

799
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles, after this Giants game, go play the Cowboys,

800
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 1: then have their I then come back from thereby rested

801
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: to play the Giants again, potentially healthier. That could get

802
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: them to four four and one if they took care

803
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: of business against three bad teams. Suddenly, you know, I'm

804
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: not buying into any of these teams. I would like

805
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: an angry um like alien mothership to come take all

806
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: four of these college level operations and remove them until

807
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: But the one element I still want to believe in

808
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: is Carson Wentz, who has been You know, we we

809
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: there are a lot of young quarterbacks in bad situations,

810
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't call Carson Wentz a young quarterback right now.

811
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: The same way, but the unprecedented words should be attached

812
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: to the injuries that around him the line. It's it's

813
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: the second year in a row and suddenly, like will

814
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders be around? I mean, the team is so

815
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: banged up that the only thing I can hope for

816
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: is some sort of Carson Wentz Thursday Night playmaking magic

817
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: with their fleet of interesting third stringers against the Giants

818
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: defense that's looked pretty good. Frankly, like I think the Giants,

819
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: if I'm not seeing that it's a great defense. It's

820
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: just improved from their completely identity identity black hole that

821
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: they operated in for the last seven years. It's it's

822
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: a recipe for a very unwatchable game. Because I I

823
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: agree with you, I think the Giants defense should be

824
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 1: able to slow down Philadelphia, who's down so many offensive linemen.

825
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: Since we've last recorded, we learned Zach Ertz is out

826
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: three to four weeks. I don't even know if that

827
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: hurts them so much as as ineffective as he was,

828
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: but I mean it's not a good thing. Right, Miles

829
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: Sanders is out this week, um, so they're down to

830
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: two of their original starters just although actually they might

831
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: get DeShawn Jackson and alshon Jeffrey back for this game,

832
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: which is interesting. It'll be a different look. Well, we'll

833
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: see how much that matters. I mean, DeShawn Jackson is

834
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: like Amelia Earhart at this point, she might return to society.

835
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I don't think he's played in

836
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: four years. So when this when this NMC east, um?

837
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: When the When I was watching the Cowboys last night

838
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: and they were talking about the NFCS, I suddenly had

839
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: this weird vision of like Joe Judge celebrating because the

840
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: six and ten Giants just won the NFC. I don't know,

841
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: I felt like a Mark Sessler vision because it just

842
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: like felt like, well, which team is like healthy enough

843
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: and has like a couple of things I like, like

844
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: James Bradberry's playing like an All Pro. Darius Slayton is

845
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: a legit starting wide receiver. Um, I mean if shepherds

846
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: probably not good that they had forty six snaps last

847
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: week and Devonte Freeman was featured on twenty of them.

848
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: That feels like a ratio you don't want. Although he's

849
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: looked a little better, but they don't look terribly coached

850
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: there like mostly in these games and they're just healthier.

851
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: So maybe I was like, well, maybe the Giants win

852
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: five or six games and they win this division. Could happen.

853
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: I think there's Giants fans are already annoyed and and

854
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: they want to be in the tank for Trevor conversation.

855
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: But you know, Jones is just mad. I think he's

856
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: made eighteen starts and he's got a new coach and

857
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: the new scheme. You gotta see this whole season through

858
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: before even beginning to think about rebooting again. So this

859
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: is a good for the Giants. They're not going to

860
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. They're most likely not gonna pull the

861
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: Joe Judge Gatoradebeth at six and ten. Uh, but it's

862
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: still gonna be an important season for them in terms

863
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: of trying to figure out what what they have on

864
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball that I don't this Yeah,

865
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: this game though is the Eagles front looks good. I mean,

866
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: they're their defense is mostly healthy, and they're pretty good,

867
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: which is why I think it will be so ugly

868
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: that you figure they would be able to slow down

869
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: the Giants who are mostly now like they wish Daniel

870
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: Jones was Lamar Jackson and like his Miles per hour.

871
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: I saw some next gen thing was like the fastest

872
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: any quarterbacks run all year, and he is fastest, hell,

873
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: but he does not have the running instincts as Lamar.

874
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: And it's like when Daniel Jones running is the primary

875
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: thing in your offense, you're probably in trouble. How about

876
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: this Carson Wentz Thursday night against the putrid Giants team?

877
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: Is this game's in Philly too, right? I know things

878
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: are weird this year, but go light up the Giants.

879
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: You're gonna have the two veterans back. Hopefully Falgam has

880
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: turned into a guy you could trust. No Earth's um

881
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: down to their top two tight ends actually right now.

882
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: But it's the Giants. Deliver a game where you have

883
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: four scores, you throw for three yards, you run for thirty,

884
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: you don't have a turnover, and just like put together

885
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 1: that game against this opponent and kind of get people

886
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: feeling better inside that building about you and the chances

887
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: in what's been a pretty hellish season so far. I mean,

888
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: they almost beat Baltimore. I would say one thing from

889
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: an NFL fan perspective, you know, thirty plus years of

890
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: watching this game, if a team ever won the Division

891
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: A Division at five and eleven. It would be one

892
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: of the greatest things I've ever witnessed, and I would

893
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: be all in on that playoff game. I'm not saying

894
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: time after time, but in one season if that happened. Yes,

895
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks in two thousand eleven or ten went seven

896
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: and nine and won a playoff game on the beast quake, right,

897
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: Remember the Carolina team went what's seven? Eight and one?

898
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: So just what you know, football is weird. Men, don't

899
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: be surprised if something crazy happens. But there you go.

900
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: Thursday night football. Check out Connie Fox, of course on

901
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: NFL Network. She hosts, she anchors, in fact coverage, pregame, halftime,

902
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: post game. About a little Connie Fox. Who do we

903
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: want Connie Fox sitting down with. I'd like to get

904
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: to know Daniel Jones to see if he has a

905
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: little more personality. How about Daniel Jones after a win

906
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: with Connie Fox and they're just chopping it up and

907
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: having fun. Connie Fox, the Eagles fan, I would preferably

908
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,959
Speaker 1: give her an Eagles player, Carson Wentz. That's a little

909
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: more entertaining, though, isn't it just to have Connie having

910
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: a I mean, I see where you're going render teeth.

911
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: Went's not too entertaining, Daniel Jones, not too entertaining, trying

912
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: to think of a wacky Don Jackson has a big game.

913
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: I can see Jackson hamstring. She interviews the hamstrang. How

914
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Man? She's like, oh, it's been

915
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: a tough thirty one years. But Alison Jeffrey is like,

916
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that de Sean Jackson's taking all the

917
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: heat in this injured Eagles. I haven't done anything since

918
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,439
