1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: Second goal, it is caught. It's Henry with a touchdown. 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: Time for Simeon. Now they're after him and it's Pulpsa 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: who brings it down from behind me. It's caught for 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 1: the touchdown by Finny Fowler and puts it on the 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: ground in a hurry, and it has recovered. Michael Brown goes, 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: my goodness, Chamor with the recovery. Simeon heaves it and 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: it is knocked down and the game is over and 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: the Churchers have held on this time for a much 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: needed victory. What a victory for the San Diego super 10 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: Chargers on Thursday Night football. I'm Greg Rosenthal alongside Chris Westling. 11 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: We've had some stinkers on Thursday nights, but not this one. 12 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: This one was intriguing to me. Your takeaways, west Well, 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: first of all, the la raviol magnifico, that you are 14 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: a grizzled old Patriots fan who doesn't get so wound 15 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: up about them anymore. You are, first and foremost this 16 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: year a Chargers fan. They put a bounce in your 17 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: step and you were rooting for them every second of 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: this game, which was a dominant performance there. It is 19 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: a dominant performance that should have never been close. But 20 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: Mike McCoy and Ken Wiz and Hunt continue this mind 21 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: numbing insistence on taking the air of the ball and 22 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: sitting on their leads. It's crazy. And I should have mentioned, 23 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: of course, this is our Week six preview show, So 24 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: after we honk about this game for a few minutes, 25 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna send it over to Dan Hansis Mark Sessler 26 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: and we'll preview all the Week six six games. But 27 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: you're right, I'm actually I'm really glad all of America 28 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: got to watch this game because I've been I've been 29 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: dialed in on the Chargers this year. I am really 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: enjoying them. I think they're a really good team, and 31 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: every week I feel like they're kind of proving me right. 32 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: And they're fun to watch. And the end of these 33 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: games have just been crazy, and each one has been different. 34 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: People say they could be six, and they should be 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: four and two. Let's just be realistic. And there's really 36 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: two games that were outrageous how they blew it. But 37 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: they're a fun team. There's a lot of good players 38 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: on this team. Rivers is playing really well. Uh that 39 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: the defense, the rookie class, Hunter, Henry Tyrolle Williams didn't 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: have a big game tonight, but he's playing well. And 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: you also saw the insanity and I'm I'm at a 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: step removed. I'm not a real long time Chargers fan, 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: so i can deal with all the crazy endings, but 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: it's it's insane how it happens week after week. And 45 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: everyone from this game will remember the image of Mike 46 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: McCoy with his head in his hands with fifteen seconds left. 47 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: They were leading by eight points at the time and 48 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: the Broncos had the ball at the fifty. And I 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: know the situation that got to that point was crazy, 50 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: but you don't want to see your head coach with 51 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: his head in his hands leading by eight with fifteen 52 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: seconds ago. Ian Rappaport reported this afternoon Thursday afternoon basically 53 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: that Mike McCoy was in a win or else mandate. Yeah, 54 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: that he could have been fired as soon as right 55 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: ay if the Charges blew another close game or if 56 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: they lost an ugly blowout fashion. So that was why 57 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: we saw that kind of pressure on Mike McCoy. He 58 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: showed it. He showed it all night. Was very emotional 59 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: on that was especially like you could see the weight 60 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: of this season on him right there. He might look 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: back later in this season and view Russell o'coon's holding 62 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: penalty on c. J. Anderson's touchdown run as what saved 63 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: his job, because that was the key moment in the game. 64 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: C H. C J. Anderson made a brilliant cut to 65 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: get into the end zone for a twenty yard touched 66 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: and that would have made it to seventeen with plenty 67 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: of time left. Was still four and a half minutes left, 68 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: and Russell o'cuon got called for the penalty on that play. 69 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: Two plays. The next two plays g Tavis Brown, who 70 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: I know you've been talking up as a as a 71 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: good looking rookie, sax Trevor Simeon to make it second 72 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: and thirty. Then he forces a fumble onto Mary's tom 73 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: and that's the game. I mean, the Broncos made it 74 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: a little interesting, but that was the game I thought 75 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: it was, and it shouldn't have been so interesting. They 76 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: gotta let Philips throw the ball. This is that was 77 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: the reason why they were leading the game in the 78 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: first place. They have one of the best quarterbacks in 79 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: the league. Trust him to throw the ball on first down. 80 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: They tried to sit on it in the fourth quarter. 81 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: But that doesn't take away the fact that they dominated 82 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: the first half, really the first three quarters, that their 83 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: defense is showing a lot. They have a good front seven, 84 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: the back end is is banged up, and Trevor Simeon 85 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: was not the type of guy that could take advantage 86 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: of that, and that's a concern for Denver long term. 87 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: And the offense did what they did a couple of 88 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: years ago, two drives to start this game totally seventeen minutes, 89 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: twenty nine plays. They took the air out of the ball, 90 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: put ten points on the board quickly. Philip rivers just 91 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: making good decisions, pinpoint throws, and that's the Charges at 92 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: their best. And that's why I don't think they're out 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: of it. I know they're two and four, but to me, 94 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: you know, are they a worst team than the Broncos 95 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: right now? To me, they're similar, They're in the same boat. 96 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: I don't think they're out of it all. And Joey 97 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: Bosa is a game changer. He could be It's early yet, 98 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: but he could be a franchise defensive player. He I 99 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: think he's that goody. They look promising. And then on 100 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: the other side, Denver. Their offense has been broken for 101 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: two straight games. They had two first downs at halftime. 102 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: By late in the third quarter, three first downs, and 103 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: they had gone fifteen minutes without one. Yeah. I think 104 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: what you'll want to watch for a lot of these 105 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: first time quarterbacks that are playing well is, okay, what 106 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: happens when they defense has start adjusting to them. And 107 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: I think we'll see that with Simeon somewhat. You know, 108 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: I know he missed a week. The running game for 109 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: Denver has not The offensive line is the major issue here. Yeah, 110 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: the running game has not played well for a while. 111 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: They turned Vic Beasley into the defensive player of the 112 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: Week and Joey Bosonto the defensive Rookie of the year, 113 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: and maybe the Raiders can keep winning games at the 114 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: very end. But I believe that you learned teams over 115 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: sixty minutes, and the Charges about scored teams by eighteen 116 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: points this year. That's actually a bigger scoring differential than 117 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: the Raiders, who are plus five. The Chargers are plus 118 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: fifty seven in the first half. That's a that's a 119 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: statu you would expect to see out of a five 120 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: and one or six an oh team. Yeah, and I 121 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: think that's really the bigger clue to what the roster 122 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: is that they're talented enough to have a ten point 123 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: lead on average at halftime, but the coaching is killing 124 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: them in the second half. Yeah, the coaching. The coaching 125 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: is a problem. I mean, that was a bad look 126 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: the rookie class. I mean we've gone through and kind 127 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: of mentioned a Hunter Henry at tight end as has 128 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: emerged certainly as their best tight end and definitely a 129 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: big weapon in the passing and it makes this division fun. 130 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to watching the Chargers moving forward. I 131 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: think the Broncoes, you know, most weeks, their defense is 132 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: gonna keep them in or have them winning games. So 133 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: it's not like they're dying here. But therefore and two 134 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be fun in the a f C West. Yes, 135 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: it is all right. Let's send it over to Dan 136 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: and let's preview the week six games. Do it.

I'm banging out that. 170 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,119 Speaker 1: The second time by away Flame on his own economics 171 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: high school class website calls it the Hague the Netherlands. 172 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: There you go, so deal with that reality. What you 173 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: heard at the top of the show, of course, was 174 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: the beginning of week six, the Thursday night affair between 175 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers. The scientists took 176 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: you through that, but we still have a lot games 177 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: to get through. Two teams on by this week. Those 178 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: teams are Greg Well, you gotta put me on the spot. 179 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: I think it's the Buccaneers and the Vikings. So the 180 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: Vikings will be the team of around the NFL. The Vikings, 181 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: I certainly hope that works out, but they are the 182 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: team of a t L and uh, they are five 183 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: and oh, and they will be five and oh for 184 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: another week. Um, so that leaves us with thirty teams, 185 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: fifteen games, one game played Thursday fourteen to talk about. 186 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: Do you want to start talking about games? Let's do it. 187 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's do it, Bookmark. Yeah, Hey, jawbron Bone, 188 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: you start, get off my timeline, come back to us, Jabron. 189 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: He definitely, he definitely messaged the wrong Uh. It was 190 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: the wrong party to even suggest a tweak to the 191 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: podcast too. Let's start an Orchard Park. Oh, much to 192 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: the chagrin of young ish Mark Sessler, the Buffalo Bills 193 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: are flying high at three game winning streak and with 194 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: the schedule that had looking juicy, all of a sudden, 195 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: the Bills are alive and well in the a f 196 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: C playoff picture. This week, they have what looks on 197 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: paper to be a gimme against the San Francisco forty Niners. However, um, 198 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, there is a little nugget in this game 199 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: that makes it more compelling. Maybe doesn't make the Niners 200 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: more competitive, but more compelling. Colin Kaepernick will start for 201 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: San Francisco. I'm just crazy enough to request this as 202 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: the game I'm covering on Sunday, gonna lock it up. No, 203 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lock it up, but I I want 204 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: to watch it. I'm intrigued. You know, Colin Kaepernick, he 205 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: started a Super Bowl. He was a very exciting player 206 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: to watch. I think Chip Kelly and his offense has 207 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: been able to get receivers open the last few weeks, 208 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: and if he had a quarterback that could find those 209 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: receivers this quarter, this team could get some yardage. It's 210 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: gonna be tough, though. This week. They're playing one of 211 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: the best defensive front seven's in the league, even though 212 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: they're not healthy and they're not getting Marcel Darius back 213 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: this week. The return of Kyle Williams to peak form. 214 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: Not a guy people talk about a lot, but one 215 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: of the great Bills of the last fifteen years is 216 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: playing fantastic. Adolphus Washington next to him, This defense is 217 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: playing too well. Tough to see the forty Niners coming 218 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: out of here being too competitive. When it comes to 219 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal and Colin Kaepernick, the phrase absence makes the 220 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: heart grow fonder applies because you used to drill him 221 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: for throwing balls into the stands, for getting concussing bystanders 222 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: on the sidelines for being one of the worst passers 223 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: in the modern NFL, and now you're hoping he can 224 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: reignite this passing off I'm intrigued in an offense without Jim, 225 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: Tom Seul and Jee Chris. We talked about it, but 226 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: I'm intrigued to see him in a new offense. I 227 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: think it's a fair point that we've, on the other hand, 228 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: just grown utterly exhausted by the tricks and treats of 229 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert that it's time to get Colin Kaepernick in there. 230 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: Why not? See if you're the Niners, what do you 231 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: do at this point other than continue to look at 232 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, maybe even the rookie quarterback. If neither one 233 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: of these guys wash out, Christian Ponder might might get 234 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: a shot. At at some point that bores me. I 235 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: I don't assume that the Bills are gonna just run 236 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: rough shot over them, because they don't really have a 237 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: passing game. And if you don't have a passing game, 238 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: you can't just assume you're gonna win any given week, 239 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they're they're one of the worst 240 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: passing teams in the NFL. They're one of the better 241 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: running teams. I mean they have the best running quarterback 242 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: or one of the best, and Lashan McCoy. Who wouldn't 243 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: surprise me if Lishan McCoy ends up leading the league 244 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: and rushing where that ends ends up being himbursses Ezekiel Elliott, 245 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: that trade looks perfect for them now after what the 246 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: way he played last week, and if you look at 247 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: the way that Ezekiel Elliott blasted San Francisco's defense a 248 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, this could be a good matchup 249 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: for is and and uh Kigo Alonso doing well uh 250 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: down in Miami do so it's working out for everyone. 251 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy's last three games fifty four carries um, averaging 252 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: six point one yards per tote, averaging a hundred and 253 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: ten yards per game in almost a hundred and thirty 254 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage with three touchdowns. So all of a sudden, 255 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: he's back to being the old Lashawan McCoy, which we 256 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: frankly have never seen in Buffalo. So you put him 257 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: into the picture at peak form, and all of a sudden, 258 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills will look a lot more dangerous. That's 259 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: who they thought they were getting. I've already changed the 260 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: Bill's record to four and two on the research packet 261 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: smart this game is a gimme, and we all owe 262 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: Rex an apology. The way he's coached the lext three weeks, 263 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: the fact that he has gotten the Rando, Alexander and 264 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: Zach Brown to be members of the best linebacking corps 265 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: in football, what he's done to Zach Brown's career after 266 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: washing out in Tennessee. He's the best inside livebacker in 267 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: football this year. He's doing ah luke Keikley impression. I 268 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: guess kind of what have been watched. I don't believe 269 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: I should have to apologize. I believe I said, can't 270 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: you see Rex taking this beat up team? You don't 271 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: have to apologize, Mark, and I do. I actually I 272 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: don't need to apologize because a lot of what I 273 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: felt annoyed by about Rex was actually off the field, 274 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: that I found him to be an utter buffoon. Well, 275 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: not a lot of problems with him on the field too, 276 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: I do, but you know what, now I'll cry. I 277 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: also credit him when he does what he's done over 278 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I don't need to backspin 279 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: and tell you I love all the rexisms that the 280 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: mic I don't, and they're not. They're not doing anything 281 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: too fancy. They're not you're not seeing that Rex crazy defend. 282 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: They're getting pressure with their front guys. Maybe every team 283 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: should fire their offensive coordinator. He couldn't get pressure with 284 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz's guys last year, but now he's got his 285 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: own guys. Let's move on and look at a By 286 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: the way, Lasan McCoy revenge game. Didn't even think of that, 287 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: just had to jam that in. Lisan McCoy taking revenge 288 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: on Chip Killy said this week he's cool with Chip. 289 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: Kelly's also still everyone you know Lashan McCoy is still 290 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: not a likable dude, despite him returning to prominence. Fair uh, 291 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: not an easy gotta root for. Let's move on to 292 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: Lishan McCoy's old team and NFC matchup here between the 293 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins. The Redskins were left for 294 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: dead not so long ago, now three and two. The Eagles, 295 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: of course three and one. Uh Carson Wentz came down 296 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: to earth a little bit um last week, Mark Sessler, 297 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: what did you see in the first maybe chink in 298 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: the armor for Carson Wentz. Did he played poorly in 299 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: your mind? Left? I didn't see a chink in the armor. 300 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people watching red Zone or 301 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: watching highlights saw that last minute interception. But Carson Wentz 302 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: played a nearly perfect game app to that point. And 303 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: that's not all this is. This is not just a 304 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: quarterback and everyone else around him. If you want to 305 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: talk about our continual discussion around coordinator of the year, 306 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz needs to be in that conversation because Detroit 307 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: came out hot on offense, put up three touchdowns early, 308 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: and then Schwartz at halftime, and we've seen him do 309 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: this in other games, adjusted the defense very well at 310 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: half and shut them down in the second half for 311 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: the most part. And this is a bad matchup for 312 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: the Redskins in my book, outside of you know, the 313 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: air game in Washington and Jamison Crowder looks like a 314 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: future star. I think that this is a good matchup 315 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: for Phillis defense to shut it down, give good ball 316 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: possession to Wentz in the offense, and they're gonna walk 317 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: away with this one. I mean, they win that game 318 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: if Ryan Matthews doesn't fumble the ball heard Swartz. Swart's 319 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: got some grief in the Philly papers, and it's like 320 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: that game. That game is over if Ryan Matthews doesn't 321 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: fumble the ball in the fourth quarter. This is where 322 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna really start to learn now about Carson Wentz 323 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: if he if he's truly now already a you know, 324 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: upper echelon quarterback this early into his career. Their next 325 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: three opponents of Philadelphia combined twelve and three. So you 326 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: got a tough game. This is an easy matchup to me, 327 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: like easy on the road. I think defensively, yeah, I 328 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: think they're a bottom ten defense for sure. It's not 329 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: a good matchup for They don't present anything that that 330 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: gets you scared at all. What what is there about this? 331 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: I think the Redskins have a good offensive coach and 332 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: some pretty good skill position talent, and otherwise there's not 333 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: a lot Like I think Jay Gruden coaches up Kirk 334 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: Cousins pretty well, that Kirk Cousins is playing terrible and 335 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: they're still producing because the offense is good. Well, the 336 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: Eagles have an issue. To date, They've had a dominant 337 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: offensive line and one of the best right tackles in football. 338 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: Lane Johnson, he's gone, and into his place comes big 339 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: v vy Tie, the guy who's never played before, and 340 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: they might have to keep guys in to help him 341 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: chip block. It's not gonna be the same offensive line. 342 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: That could be a major issue. Jason Peter's kind of 343 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: struggling too. I mean that's he's the guy with a 344 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: great reputation, great career, probably been the weak spot of 345 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: that offensive line. So then if you have you have 346 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: two question marks to tackle well Wentz at least Wentz 347 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: has been pretty good at at scene pressure and escaping 348 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: from it to some degrees, taking a lot of big 349 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: hits too. Um before Greg, you cut me off. Yes, 350 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: the Redskins shouldn't even show up to this game according 351 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: to Greg, but after this game, uh week seven verse 352 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: Vikings Week eight at Cowboys or nine and one those 353 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: next two weeks, so important game here up for Philadelphia 354 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: to keep the momentum because it gets tougher. One final note, 355 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: with Jordan Read dealing with another concussion, doesn't we don't know, 356 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: but it doesn't sound like he's gonna play. That's a 357 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: huge loss. That is kirk Cousins security blanket right there. 358 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: He's maybe the key to that whole passing attack. Jordan read, 359 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: They're they're not going to be the same and uh, 360 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: I like what they did using Carson Wentz on some 361 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: design runs last week. Maybe mixing up that run game. 362 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: That's a good running game. It's better without Ryan Matthews. 363 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm gonna make it my lock of 364 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: the week. Lock it up, you're locking it up. I'm 365 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: locking it up. You locked it up. Good for you, Greg, 366 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: I almost forgot to lock it up on your loathing 367 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: of the Redskins knows no bounds. If you I think 368 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: the Eagles are a better team. If you're watching on YouTube, 369 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: you know a little graphic behind the glass. I like 370 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: that an actual vault. It's funny how we get out 371 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: of that vault though, with these locks. Are we locking 372 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: it when we're done with it or actudentally leaving the door? 373 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: Ajar when we leave the studios just has that spinning 374 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: wheel on the door, just wide open spinning wheels had 375 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: a technical term. No, let's move on alright. The Cleveland 376 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: Browns the only team left in the NFL without a 377 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: win oh and five now, they traveled to Nashville to 378 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: face the Titans, who gotta win. Last week, Marcus Mariota 379 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: did some things that four touchdowns. De Marca Murray continues 380 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: his resurgence. Looks like one of the best running backs 381 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: in football right now. But Mark Cessler, you got Cody 382 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: Kessler back under center. We hope he makes up through 383 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: all four quarters. Is this the week? Uh? Your dry 384 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: foods stretch ends raw food stretch, And I don't think 385 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: it is the week it's dry foods. Don't think week 386 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: cereal and kids it is dry right? Uh? No, I 387 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: mean it's it's it's largely fruit based and it's it's 388 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: not dry. Actually, No, what are you eating? What have 389 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: you eaten today? Fus vegetables to two large juices I 390 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: had today so far went to the huddle in the 391 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: alt bar. Was an epic disaster visually, so I couldn't 392 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: do it. But into this game, yes, people, um, people 393 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: talk about, oh, this is the game Cleveland can win 394 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: on their schedule because it gets very rough from here 395 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: on out. I don't think it's a good matchup for 396 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: them at all. Joe Thomas is gonna play, but he's 397 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: been He's not practiced all week because of a knee injury. 398 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: Your left guard Joel Batonio, who is probably the best 399 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 1: offensive lineman you have outside of Joe Thomas, is out. 400 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: Camervan is back, and he's a total wild card. And 401 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: we saw what Tennessee did to Miami's offensive line last week. 402 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: It was one guy after the next destroying Ryan Tannehill. 403 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't like this matchup for the Cleveland Browns, by 404 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: the way, even when Batonio was in there, one quarterback 405 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: after the next in Cleveland has been getting hit hard, 406 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: and so it's not a good It's not a good 407 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: matchup at all. And I think they can run on 408 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: Cleveland as well. I almost throw out the Titans victory 409 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins last week because Miami is a hot, 410 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: garbage mess right now. They are not even real, a 411 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: real NFL team in my mind. The offensive line was 412 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: a joke that they sent Billy Turner out to play 413 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: left tackle and then cut him a day later. The 414 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: Dolphins are a mess. Ladies and gentlemen out of gays. 415 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: The Titans played well. This was the team we thought 416 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: we were going to see in the preseason. The running 417 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: attack was unbelievable. The offensive line has been fantastic this year, 418 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: and their defense. Brian rack Bo, Derek Morgan, and Darell 419 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: Casey are stars, but they don't have much beyond that. 420 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: But that might not enough take care of Cleveland because 421 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I think, listen, it's it's good that they 422 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: have Kessler back, and you know he's I don't know 423 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: what his long term future is, but Kessler, as we've 424 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: talked about, has been manageable at quarterback. But I just 425 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: I don't think this is a good match. Bo is 426 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: gonna throw some stuff at him. I mean, I think 427 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: dick Lebo being there a little longer now and being 428 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: in charge, they're starting to get real creative with what 429 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: they're doing. Iraqbo as he as he mentions playing well 430 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: and I don't know s. I mean, I know they 431 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: were playing the Dolphins, but they have a great running game. 432 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: They have one of the best three or four running 433 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: backs in the league right now with de Marco Murray. 434 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: They have an offensive line, they have a pretty good 435 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: front seven in an Okay, they still got a chance 436 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: to win the a f C South. I'm kind of 437 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: coming along to thinking like what team in the a 438 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: f C South has more positive things about him than 439 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: the Titans. Not many, none of them. None of them 440 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: if Mariotta plays better, they got a real chance. I 441 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna win ten games, but they got 442 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: a real chance. They're gonna get eight or nine. Backup 443 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: the Mike Malarkey trade and Mario played better. He did 444 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: play better, and he's now only the second quarterback in 445 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: NFL history with four four touchdown games in his first 446 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: seventeen story. Well, and he had some flash. He's running 447 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: the ball. I mean they need to run him more. 448 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: They he knew when to run, he knew when to slide. 449 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: They had some called runs. He he was a big 450 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: factor in the running game. Use it. I think you 451 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: see eight plus catches for Delaney Walker in this game. 452 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: Cleveland's been one of the worst defenses in the league 453 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: dealing with tight ends, and that's not just robbed Fronkowski. 454 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: Um Tennessee will probably score some points in this game. 455 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: The Browns the only team in the league to give 456 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: up at least twenty five points in all four games 457 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: or five games on their schedule so far. Moving you 458 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: called him games Ter Conference showdown between the Baltimore Ravens 459 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: and New York Giants, a rematch of Super Bowl Number West. 460 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: It was the year two thousand, just the college or Mark, 461 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: I will say Super Bowl twenty Greg, Oh, that's correct, 462 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: Mark Both thirty. It's the tall, red headed comedian with 463 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: his own talk show. I don't know why carrots top No, no, no, 464 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean Conan O'Brien. We need the Conan O'Brien trop 465 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: I don't know why I couldn't think of his name 466 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: was on the edge. O'Brien unknown, Kathy Griffin or Andy Dalton. Alright, 467 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: so the Ravens are Howard to New York and this 468 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: is a tale of two teams that are struggling right now, 469 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: because the Ravens are now three and two after starting 470 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: the season with three wins in a row. And then 471 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: you got the Giants who look great. It looked like 472 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: their defense, all the money they put into it was 473 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: um was paying off when they're two and o start. 474 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: And then you had the three wide receivers with Eli Manning. 475 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: But everything has kind of gone to hell for the 476 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: Giants in the last three week, a three game losing streak. 477 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: Uh So, now the Giants are in a position where 478 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta win this game at home against Baltimore. 479 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: And here's a stat before I throw it to you, Greg, 480 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: and this really speaks to the I saw a lot 481 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: of crap this week, people trying to figure out what's 482 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: wrong with the Giants offense, and there there was some 483 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: talk about is Eli getting old. It's like Eli is 484 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: thirty four, thirty five years old. I trust that he 485 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: has a couple of good years left in him still, 486 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: so I don't think that has anything to do with it. 487 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: But this stat was interesting to me. Uh this from 488 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: Tom Rock of Newsday. Longest Giant reception in the past 489 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: two weeks. With these talented wide receiver sixteen yards, they 490 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: gotta figure something moucreg how to move the ball down 491 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: field well, and that's their offense though they're trying to 492 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: play hurry up. They're trying to play dink and dunk, 493 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: curry up. There the fat second fastest team in the 494 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: league in terms of pace behind the forty niners, and 495 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: in they're not going on long drives, they're not pushing 496 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: the ball. And why is it crazy to think that 497 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: Eli Manning would start declining a little bit? I mean, 498 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: because not every quarterback evidence. I don't know, because there's well, 499 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: the last three weeks he hasn't played well. He's been 500 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: very frenetic, like he's not comfortable, Like he's not like 501 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: he's not confident in either the protection or the receivers, 502 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: or he's not on the same page. He's not comfortable. 503 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: I just think it's a weird thing to jump to 504 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: because they're a three week FLA. I agree with that. 505 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm saying I would like the guy who 506 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: created the narrative that Tom Brady is in a decline 507 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: thirty nine and guys thirty nine and one nine and 508 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: playing better as well as he ever has for the 509 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: past couple Well that was also before the season. Wait, 510 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: he's not basing it off of last week. They're not playing, 511 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: they're not playing confidently. They're not attacking the Packers when 512 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: they're missing two cornerbacks, you know what I mean. They're 513 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: just it's like they're hoping to win with a bunch 514 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: of singles and that other team won't make mistakes and 515 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: they're the ones making miss Isn't it a lot easier 516 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: to play defense against them when they have no running 517 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: game whatsoever? Their very one dimensional It's like they used 518 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: three four wide receiver sets on like nine of their plays, 519 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: which I that that's good with your hurry up and stuff. 520 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: But there. But I mean, teams are gonna not take 521 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: you seriously. He hasn't been on the same page with 522 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepard. H Sometimes Victor Cruz is on the outside. 523 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: We'll see. He didn't really, you know, he didn't have 524 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: any targets last week. Two targets. What are you making 525 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: a face of that? It was Super Bowl thirty five. 526 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: I was surprised it was so low. I think that 527 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: makes Cowboys odd. You know, we can we can take 528 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: this off line. But that's even during the segment. I 529 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: was wondering if I was wrong about this. This is 530 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: a tough matchup too for the Giants, because I think 531 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: that the Ravens defense is good and it's getting better 532 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: every week. And I think the safety combo of Eric 533 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: Weddow and Ladarius Webb, who used to be a cornerback, 534 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: is really good. I mean, they They've got a lot 535 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: of different things going on with that one thing with 536 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: the Ravens. I get that they made a switch with 537 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: their play call, and there were reasons for that, but 538 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: I saw Flacco miss some throws in that last game too. 539 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: It's not it's not just the play calling. They marched 540 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: down the field and the opening drive. They don't really 541 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: score them any more points. But I wonder if Flacco. 542 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: I know he's healthy, but is he fully comfortable at 543 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: this point in the season coming off of the knee. 544 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think Flacco's always miss throws. He's 545 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: one of the streakiest quarterbacks in the league. You'll see 546 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: him make twenty throws in a row. But this is 547 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: this is an offensive line that has major issues. Ronnie 548 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: Stanley looks like he's returned to practice and has a 549 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: chance to play. But Marshall Yonda, the best guard of 550 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: the past half decade, has a shoulder injury and probably 551 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: won't play this weekend. Maybe the Giants pass rush finally 552 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: gets healthy and no. Steve Smith almost definitely looks like 553 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna be out. Let's see some shots to Breshad 554 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: Pairman when they when you see and when you see Payraman, 555 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: it kind of seems like he's gonna be He's gonna 556 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: be good. Well, we're not gonna miss both those guys 557 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: last week. When's the last time the Ravens had an 558 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: impact receiver of Breshad Peyraman's length? Six to never Michael Jackson, 559 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: Michael Dyson, and yeah, you have to because along with 560 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: they're inability to draft a quarterback. For years, they had 561 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: a terrible job getting wide receivers. So you do have 562 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: to go back that far. I used to like when 563 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: um a Prime Time when Michael Jackson would get referenced 564 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: and then Boomer would throw to Tom Jackson, who would 565 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: go he It's a great bit. It's an enduring bit 566 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: that was back when that show was like a legend. 567 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: Was essential back then by the way to get the giants, 568 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, hyped up or loosened up, I don't 569 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: know what it was. Ben McAdoo played the scene and 570 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: Step Brothers where John c Riley and Will Farrell choose 571 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: to take the shortcut instead of the long way home, 572 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: end up end up getting beat up by a bunch 573 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: of children, and then Will Farrell has to lick the 574 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: white poop on the on the playground grass. If you 575 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: don't come over here and lick that white dog, I'm 576 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: gonna plow into your nose with my fist. And I can't, 577 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: for the life of me figure out what the message 578 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: was to the team, if it wasn't just a relaxation thing. 579 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: I read this Stevenson's no shortcut. No, I think the 580 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: end of that story is if it was just to 581 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: loosen the guys UPO. Yeah, did you see Stepbrothers? No, 582 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: you haven't, right, I haven't yeah, if if yeah, if 583 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: you listen to the quotes, the players didn't quite know 584 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: what to make of it either. Were were they the 585 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: ones looking at the poop? Were they the bullies? Because 586 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: then at the end of the movie Will fell beat. 587 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: I don't think they were the white poop. Well, let's 588 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: revisit this question. I asked you a couple of weeks ago, 589 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: macative goober or not a goober? Scooping out a little 590 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: bit lately, said goober out. Very confusing game preview. Yeah, 591 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: let's uh clip this one off for YouTube. Let's move 592 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: on and talk about the defending NFC champions In um there, 593 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: I say, a Wounded Dog game. Should we do the drop? 594 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: I thought, I think it's been don't don't know that 595 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: has been. Peter has sent the letter. It wasn't a formal, 596 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: you know, cease and desist, but it was said, let's 597 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: try to find into new Do you have the Wounded 598 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: Dog drop? I don't know. I'm not saying we should 599 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: play it. Yeah, yeah, maybe we should work on one 600 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: that's a little more Chris Westling feelings friendly or sid 601 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: friendly for that matter. I don't would. I mean, she's 602 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: a huge fan of it. She greenlighted it and cut 603 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: it herself. You know, she's avoiding issues or just one 604 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: that she made. Let's look for something. Let's let's loop 605 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: in West on the process. Thank you. It probably will 606 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: not involve a wounded animal of any type. Anyway. The 607 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: Panthers a one in four after a dreadful Monday night 608 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and now they travel 609 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: to the Superdome to face the Saint who stink. We 610 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: know that they're one in three holes all over the place. Uh. 611 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: And Cam Newton is practicing again. I think he's at 612 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: a concussion protocol. He is still technically in it as 613 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: we tape this, but it's looking good. He's coming on out. 614 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: It would be my prediction. And uh, I'll tell you what. 615 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: The Panthers are not going one in five here. West 616 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: I just can't see it, right. I know they're not 617 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: the same team as last year. And you gotta it's 618 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: not about the name, it's about the game. But I 619 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: just can't see it. I agree with you, and Cam 620 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: Newton upgraded the full practice. Jonathan Stewart says he's ready 621 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: to go after missing the last three weeks. The offense 622 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: is getting the elements back. You'd like to see them 623 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: get Kelvin Benjamin rolling like Greg Olsen has been. But 624 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: this Panthers team has averaged thirty six points per game 625 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: the last three times they faced the Saints, and have 626 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: gone over forty points three of the last four times 627 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: they've painted. They've gone to get the Saints. This should 628 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: be the highest scoring game of the week. I would 629 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: have to imagine the Saints score nine more points per 630 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: game at home than the new on the road in 631 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: the since two thousand thirteen. So I think this is 632 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: your shootout game of the week. If you have fantasy 633 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: players involved, start them all. Start. Here's my question. Is 634 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: this that Panthers team that's done that this that same 635 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: time you're getting guys back, You're getting guys back. I 636 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: think they can still move the ball. This is what 637 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: confused me about them, because remember after that tough week 638 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: was lost in Week two, they lit up everybody and 639 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin was going nuts. So I thought they were 640 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: kind of back to normal. I think they get you 641 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: say it's gonna be the shootout of the week. I'll 642 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,719 Speaker 1: tell you what I think it's gonna be. Lock it up, 643 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: because this is gonna be my yeah, maybe flock of 644 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: the week. Lock it up, Spin it up, don't let 645 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: this one out. What trauma you know? I mean for 646 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: the listener trying to grasp what's happening here, Good luck 647 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: to you. The Panthers have what's so confusing? For some reason, 648 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: Dan and suddenly turned into like a w f A. 649 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: And now, well, now that we have this new graphic 650 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: on YouTube with the actual vault and makes everything a 651 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: little bit more official, takes things up and Notch and 652 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: dare I say, I'm more serious about it now because 653 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: I actually see the vault. I don't want to let 654 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: the vault down. I think you've got a good lock 655 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: of the week, but I think people still want to 656 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: view this. Panther's team is, oh yeah, this is a 657 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: super Bowl defense plane. At that level, they'll come around, 658 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: but it was it was not until last Sunday or 659 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: last Monday that they gave up under twenty points. They've 660 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: been flamed for seven and twenty one points. This is 661 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: not the Panthers of last year, at least not right 662 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: now campas New Orleans. That's true, and they should score 663 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: a lot of points, but the Saints are a different 664 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: team at home. Brandon Cooks Drew Brees. Their numbers in 665 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: terms of the home road splits are just outrageous if 666 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: you look at like the Football Outsiders numbers in terms 667 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: of how these teams have been this year, Saints are 668 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: twenty first, best team in the league. Panthers are twenty three. 669 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: To me, that is about how they played. Because for 670 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: as bad as the Saints have been that they are, 671 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: four of their five games have come down to last 672 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: two minutes. They have a very good offense. At least 673 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: they have something to go by. And you'd hate to 674 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: be a Panthers fan or or Ron Rivera and be 675 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: in the super or a Ron Rivera fan. There's some 676 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: out there. Four minutes left to go and this is 677 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: the shootout and you're feeling like, gosh, our season could 678 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: be over in Week six because we'll have a couple 679 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: of you know, division losses here and be one in five. 680 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: Last year's Saints defense was the worst rank defense in 681 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: the history of Pro Football Outsiders metrics this year, they're 682 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: allowing more points in yards per game than last year's historical, 683 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: historically awful defense. They're bad, They're so bad. And then 684 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: stick with the running game either they can't really get 685 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: mark ingram going. They're missing that too. Let's move on 686 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: to a real scorcher of the game in Chicago matchup 687 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: between the one of three Jacksonville Jaguars and one and 688 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 1: four Chicago Bears. Um seems like Chris wesling a good 689 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 1: spot for Brian Hoyer to put up some more numbers 690 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: and establish himself as the number one quarterback in Chicago 691 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: with j Coulor getting back. But Jacksonvill's defense actually isn't 692 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: that bad, right, so it could be a challenge. It's 693 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: not terrible, But we're not talking about You're not facing 694 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks of the Broncos here. You're facing Jacksonville. So 695 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: maybe they're a little upgraded from last year. But you know, 696 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: a Colts team missing several players still scored twenty seven 697 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: points or twenty eight points on on the Jaguars, so 698 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that. And Brian Hoyer, we think Blake 699 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: Bortles still has a bright future, but Brian Hoyner is 700 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in this game right now. I'm so 701 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: all right, but the way Blake Bortles is playing, Brian 702 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: Hoyer has three hundred yards and two tds and each 703 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: of his three starts this year. Jake Cutler did that 704 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: three times in his last twenties starts. Brian hoy is 705 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: an upgrade. I'm Jake Cutler, deal with it. I mean, 706 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: that's true. I think also had to think that. I 707 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: think Bortos has potential to be better this year than 708 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer. I'll say that he has potential be but 709 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: he certainly isn't right now. And Blake Bortos has four 710 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: first quarter tds and thirty three career starts. Hoyer has 711 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: four in his last seven games. Hoyer is a better 712 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: quarterback right now than Blake Bortles, who once again has 713 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: major fundamental issues with his delage. I think it allows 714 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 1: the Bears to get going earlier than some people thought 715 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: on exiting Cutler out of the organization, and you've got 716 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: a better playing quarter back in there. But it's they 717 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: should have done this. I had to contract made it 718 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: hard that should have done this before long time ago. 719 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: They're finally doing it, and Hoyer can put people. People 720 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: are gonna be calling for Jake Cutler. That's not a 721 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: kind of quarterback. He is well anyone ever. And it 722 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 1: seems weird, but I think Kevin White's injury didn't hurt 723 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,439 Speaker 1: them because they get Cameron Merritt out there. He looks 724 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: pretty good. Suddenly have two physical guys on the outside. 725 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: You got lucky having injuries, get Jordan Howard into the lineup. 726 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: I kind of think this is a really tough matchup, though. 727 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: I I see the Jaguars defense is improving each and 728 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: every week. And yeah, the Colts scored points, but they 729 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: were dominated as much as any offensive team was dominated 730 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: all season for three quarters. That game would have been 731 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: over by that point if the Jaguars offense could just 732 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: sustain the ball. I think this defense is getting a 733 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: little better each week. They're coming off of by and 734 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: they can start winning games on their own against mediocre offenses, 735 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: and this is one of them. This is your chance 736 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: because after that you gotta take down the Bears. You've 737 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: got Oakland and the Titans, after that, the Chiefs and 738 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: the Texans. These are games that if you're the Jaguars, 739 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: you want to save your season, and probably some jobs 740 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: there too. You gotta take something this the meat of 741 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: the schedule has got to go your way. And here's 742 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: the staff for those that are plugged in on Blake 743 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: Bortle's being a garbage time Hall of Famer. The Jaguars 744 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 1: are twelve and well when Bordles passes for over two 745 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: nine yards, including oh and two this season. So any 746 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: game where he's really lighting it up in his career, 747 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: they've never won a game. Well that's been linked to 748 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: what has been an awful defense that puts them in 749 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: seventeen point holes right away. And it's not that I know, 750 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but it's it's like, it's not his 751 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: fault that he's producing when they're down, but you're right, 752 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be hit pass heavy. It's his fault. 753 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's been his fault this season because his 754 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: defense hasn't been bad. It's been a it's been average 755 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: or a little better than average. All right, let's move on, guys, 756 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: and let me just say one thing. I know the 757 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: Bears are bad, but the Jaguars should not be favored 758 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: over any team in the NFL until they prove that 759 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: they are that team. The Bears are the better football 760 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: team in this game? All right? I think the Bears 761 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: are favorite, so they the people in the desert agree 762 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: with you, mystery Desert folks. On to the home team 763 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: of our current hometown, the Los Angeles market, the Rams. 764 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: Three and two right in a three game winning streak. 765 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: They traveled now to Detroit to face the Lions, and, um, 766 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: you know, mark, is Todd Gurley ever gonna break out 767 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: the season? Is he gonna have that game that we've 768 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: been waiting while Ezekiel Elliott now steals all the headlines 769 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: as this young dynamic back. There was a time not 770 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: long ago where Gurley was that guy. What's going on here? 771 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: Is it all on Todd Gurley? Is it not on 772 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 1: not on him at all? Is it a share situation? 773 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: I think it has a lot to do with the 774 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: offense that he's in, and maybe almost all to do 775 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: with that. I mean, they are a case Keenum led 776 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: team that has tried to fool opponents or go to 777 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: opponents into thinking that they can be a Kenny britt 778 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: led pass offense. And there's just not that kind of 779 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: star receiver that's gonna attract top defensive backs and take 780 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: defenses away and open up spots for girly people are 781 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: taking Gurley out of the game. That's still going to 782 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: be the game plan. Case KEENUMU was their game manager 783 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: last year and they told us this bill of goods 784 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: about how we trust case Keenum over what was it 785 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: five starts he threw one pick. He already has five 786 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: picks over five starts this year. He has made some 787 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: bad mistakes. He's lost a fumble, and I see bad 788 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 1: decision making in the offensive line. Todd Gurley bears zero 789 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: percent of the blame. I agree with struggles. He got 790 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: a few creases last week and looked downright dynamic. He 791 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 1: if he had any line. Next week's top ten articles 792 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: gonna be top ten trapped players. Todd Gurley like that. 793 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: DoD Gurley will be number one on the list with 794 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck right behind what's in a closet, trapped by 795 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: surrounding talent that is holding him down. I would love 796 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,359 Speaker 1: to see Todd Gurley behind Dallas's offensive line. He might 797 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: be a two thousand yard good r Kelly, Rethan and 798 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: West sponsor year article. Next year. Your top ten lists, 799 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,840 Speaker 1: which are every week they come out, they're excellent. You 800 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: have my favorite name of the list was this week. 801 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: What was it again? Well, they called it late Bloomers. 802 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: I wonder to call it prodigal Sons, are reborn misfits, 803 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: reborn misfits that could be our band? Aree that reborn 804 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: of misfits? What was the one they came up with, 805 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: late Bloomers. I'm gonna read that. It's a little bland right, 806 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: reborn misfits. It makes me think of like they're disfigured animals. 807 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: Watch that Terrell Prior, Kristen, Michael Tearns West we can 808 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: got Kenny Britt's a surprise name on that list. He's 809 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: on pace to finally be a RAMS receiver that goes 810 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: over a thousand yards and their their talent isn't great 811 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: on offense. But I think it's very telling that this 812 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: week we're reading articles about Todd Gurley staying late before 813 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: and after practice working on the passing game, because it 814 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: took them three or four weeks to be like, oh, yeah, 815 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,959 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is a good player. Maybe we shouldn't only 816 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 1: run him in between the guards center combination. Maybe let's 817 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: use him as a receiver where he's awesome. By the way, 818 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: and they've done that the last couple of weeks and 819 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: it's worked. It's like, why did that take a month? 820 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: On a similar note, why did it take a month 821 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: to put Tavon Austin back in the backfield again like 822 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: they did last year and he had a lot of success. 823 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,240 Speaker 1: They did that last week and he looked good against 824 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: the Can I answer the question. Jeff Fish is the 825 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: head coach and the offensive coordinator is like a future 826 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,919 Speaker 1: tight ends coach in this CFL. I think they're gonna 827 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: get I think they're gonna get rampaged in this game. 828 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: Detroit for Philadelphia got another lock, but I think this 829 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,760 Speaker 1: is a This is a bad matchup for the Rams, 830 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: and I know that a mirab Dula is not in 831 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 1: the lineup, but Detroit in the first half against Philly 832 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: there was a lot going on. And the question is 833 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: if Theo Riddick is not playing, that's a big part 834 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: of the offense um that they don't have it. It 835 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: sounds like he'll play. Eric Ebron might be out. Nawthew 836 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: staffords playing great. He is top ten quarterback this year. 837 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 1: But if he doesn't have Ebron and Rick Hello, he 838 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: nod is out. They're missing a lot of players this 839 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: Lions team. I think this Rams offense, this is just 840 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: a total kind of mirage. I don't this is that 841 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna come back to Han this whole operation, and 842 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: maybe not against the Lions defense though before Yeah, if 843 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: put it this way, if the lines defense struggles in 844 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: this game, you know how bad they are. Here some 845 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: just basic rankings for the l A offense last and 846 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 1: total tied for last, and scoring, rushing and passing to 847 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: in the eighth. In the red zone percentage, yikes, that 848 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: is gnarly to offensive line is holding that team hostage. 849 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: And they put so much into the offensive line. That's way, 850 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,320 Speaker 1: that's the problem. Let's move on. Let's talk about a 851 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins, two teams 852 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: going in opposite directions. The Steelers have put that ugly 853 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: Eagles lost behind them with a couple of fairly dominant 854 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: efforts um against the Bengals and Jets and the Dolphins 855 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: is West alluded to, they stink. They stink. And I 856 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: know Handsome hank Is always give me a hard time. 857 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: Oh you're too hard on the Dolphins, you know, take 858 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: it easy on him. You know I was down on 859 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: him the summer and I'm even more down on him 860 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 1: now because they they seem like to me West and 861 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: tell me if I'm wrong. One of the most lost 862 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: franchises out there right now. They're a mess. They're a 863 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: hot mess, and the effort level is what bothered me, 864 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: not just with the players, the coaching staff sticking Billy 865 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: Turner at left tackle. I know they were desperate. I 866 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 1: know the Brandon Albert lost twelve pounds because he was sick, 867 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: Laron a Tonsil was out because he slipped in the shower. 868 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: So they stick Philly Turner out there at a position 869 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: he's never played and asked him to block Brian i 870 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: Rackpo coming off the edge when the Titans know the 871 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: Dolphins have to pass because it's the fourth quarter in 872 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: they're down, and they let him out there for two 873 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: straight plays with the rack post sacking him. He had 874 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: zero chance of stopping a rack Po and it wasn't 875 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 1: ntil a drive later, Like, maybe we should offer a 876 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: little chip block for this guy. He needs it. The 877 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 1: loss to the Bengals and then the loss to the 878 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,959 Speaker 1: Titans is the worst two games stretched by any team 879 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: this season. They're the worst team in the league. I 880 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: don't They're not playing together. They're not a team. It's 881 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,399 Speaker 1: a hardly controversial statement because they would be the only 882 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: winless team in the league if Cody Parkey had hit 883 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: a field goal. I mean, this has not been competitive. 884 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: This has been worse than any five games stretch in 885 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: the Joe Philbin era. That doesn't mean, it doesn't mean 886 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: that Adam Gates can't turn it around. But right now 887 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: they're worse than they ever were under And here's to 888 00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: the effort issues potentially, and this is gonna be a 889 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: stunner to every and Mario Williams being questioned. The defensive 890 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: coordinator Vance Joseph told the ESPN this week he's got 891 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: to play harder, he's got to play better. Obviously he's 892 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 1: being allowed to rush the pastor but the games we've 893 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: been and it's been more run for his past second game. 894 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,719 Speaker 1: So for us to be a great Russian team, we 895 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: have to earn the right if they want to rushmore, 896 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: stop to run more consistently. Mario Williams not playing hard, 897 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 1: that's a syentiom of a larger problem. This is a 898 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 1: mercenary team and it has been for a while. You 899 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: you go out and you buy players, good teams, they 900 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: develop and one of the benefits of developing players is 901 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: the natural camaraderie. And you close these guys, you want 902 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: to win for each other because you're a team. The 903 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: Dolphins on the team their mercenary. Those those guys that 904 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,760 Speaker 1: got cut this week that were starting on the offensive 905 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: way and they were drafted two gms ago to buy 906 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 1: different GM two different gms to like a coach three 907 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: offensive coordinators ago that it's a mess. And then you 908 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: got the Steelers coming in. I mean, good luck, this 909 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: is gonna be a Levi on Bell game. You would 910 00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: think if there ever was one catching balls out of 911 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: the backfield, you got going up and down the field 912 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: like over under two hundred yards from scrimmage for Levell. 913 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: You gotta wonder what's going on in Gloria Stefan's office, 914 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, you know, Serena Williams comes in and Stephen 915 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 1: and Mark Anthony and they all put their heads together. 916 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: They're still trying to turn the beat around. Well, that's 917 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: why you give Gaze more time though, because it's clearly 918 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 1: he's arrived to something you couldn't just patch up. Gloria 919 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: Stefan cover of the In the Midnight Us went turned 920 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: the cheese around, But I always thought Mark, sorry, sometimes 921 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: you just can't you know, you know what? Good luck 922 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: getting a sentence out in the show? Should we go 923 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,359 Speaker 1: onto our sponsor? I was gonna say, I just want 924 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: to say what happened to Larrmy Tunzel? Alright, why don't 925 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: you go? That's his story, and now a word from 926 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,359 Speaker 1: our sponsor. Ever found yourself sitting around your boring house 927 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,240 Speaker 1: wondering what new landscapes might be out there to spice 928 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 1: up your hyper dull existence. Maybe you sit up late 929 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: at night thinking about your world and wondering, Wait, am 930 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,919 Speaker 1: I a Kynesian devotee? Do I find myself hovering toward 931 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: Keynesian areas of economic thought? Do I fundamentally believe that 932 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: aggregate demand is influenced by a host of economic decisions, 933 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: both public and private, and therefore sometimes behaves erratically. Do 934 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: you find yourself furious in the hallway when you hear 935 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 1: two hobby horse economics heads killing the Kynesian paradigm for 936 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: its potential flaws in the area of permanent income hypothesis? 937 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: Who do these two think they are? After all? According 938 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 1: to Kynesian theory, changes in aggregate demand, whether anticipated or 939 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 1: unanticipated have the greatest short run effect on real output 940 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 1: and employment, not on prices. Stop toying around with your life. 941 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: Sign up from Mike Flames high school economics class in 942 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: the Hague, the Netherlands. Go to ww dot flame class 943 00:46:53,080 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: dot com today. Stop. I mean, he can't say. He's 944 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 1: said some sandwiches, some sandwiches and you know, some nice 945 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: things to us. But it's been every worth every dime 946 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 1: for him. I would think he's going hiking right now, 947 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 1: he said, for I think the whole Yeah, send us 948 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:17,879 Speaker 1: a map of where he is in case he gets 949 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,839 Speaker 1: lost and his cell number. I like how often he's 950 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,359 Speaker 1: kept in touch now that we have this business Relationship's 951 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: in regular contact with us. Gift. It is a gift. 952 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: Let's move on and talk about the Cincinnati ben Gals 953 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: two and three. That doesn't get any easier now. You 954 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 1: want to talk about a team that needed to, you know, 955 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 1: do a little better in the early portion of their schedule. UH. 956 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 1: Two wins in their first five games, and now they 957 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: got to go to New England in what is Tom 958 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 1: Brady's homecoming um, his first game UH since the end 959 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,280 Speaker 1: of the suspension in Gillette Stadium, where he is almost 960 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: unbeatable if you look at the stats. I'm now forgetting 961 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: what it was, but it was something insane. Where what 962 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: is home record it has been? Uh? I think you 963 00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: told me forty and six and something that something insane 964 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 1: like that. So now, uh, Cincinnati, they looked really ineffective 965 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 1: against Dallas loss. Greg do they stand a chance against 966 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,760 Speaker 1: all this firepower in New England? I respect the Bengals 967 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 1: enough over the last five years to say that they 968 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: stand a chance that that it wouldn't that they have 969 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: a modicum of hope to go in there. But there's 970 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: nothing that they've shown on the field this year to 971 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,439 Speaker 1: make you think that they'd be competitive in this game 972 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. And there's nothing that we saw 973 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: out of the Patriots really for this whole season, except 974 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 1: for one one bad game that would say they'd let 975 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: him in there. I mean, this is a Bengals offense 976 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,360 Speaker 1: that allowed four sacks to the Cowboys, that allowed the 977 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys pass rush to get all over Andy Dalton. L 978 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: McLain was in the can't run the ball at all? 979 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean, when was the last time they ran the ball? 980 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 1: It's about Week eight or nine last year when Andy 981 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: Dalton was still healthy because they didn't run the ball 982 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: at all. Down the stret Hill and Bernard are both 983 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: under four yards per carry. It's just not the it's 984 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: not the same group. The right tackle, Cedric who they 985 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: drafted in the first round a couple of years ago, 986 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: has been a liability. He's been a downgrade from Andre Smith, 987 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,280 Speaker 1: which is pretty telling. I think they showed no identity 988 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: on offense against Dallas. Cincinnati under Hugh Jackson when he 989 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,719 Speaker 1: was running the show there and even before that. They 990 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: want to run the ball and they did a good 991 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,439 Speaker 1: job of it, and you've seen that translate where Hugh's 992 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: gone next in Cleveland. But it's not the case in Cincinnati. 993 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: They had no rhythm. They couldn't get the running game 994 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: going in the entire first half. Dallas ate them up. 995 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 1: You look at this schedule that they played. They nipped 996 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: a Jets team, they got decisively beaten by the Steelers, 997 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: the Broncos, and the Cowboys there there. The Broncos game 998 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 1: was close until about eight nine minutes left, but otherwise 999 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 1: they're getting you know, they're getting decisively beaten. As you said, 1000 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,920 Speaker 1: it's not like a Bengals team that's had bad luck 1001 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,840 Speaker 1: or anything. I got a message over all the people 1002 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,759 Speaker 1: who look at Tom Brady's appe the Cleveland Browns last 1003 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,800 Speaker 1: week and say, oh yeah, anybody can do that against 1004 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,880 Speaker 1: the brand, here's a message for you. Tom Brady has 1005 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: father time in the corner of the ring beating teeth 1006 00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: round and father is on the ropes Tom Brady. Every 1007 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 1: year you watch this guy, he gets more nimble, his 1008 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 1: arm gets stronger, strong, gets better. Whatever program that goofy 1009 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,319 Speaker 1: guy's got him working on with the with the rubber bands, yeah, 1010 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: it's it's it's the diet, it's the non weight training. 1011 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 1: Yet he doesn't look like Brady Quinn, looking like a 1012 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,320 Speaker 1: WDF wrestler. He's got he He doesn't lift weights, he 1013 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 1: eats a perfect diet. Come on, get on the train. 1014 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 1: Dan Peyton has all these trees. His arm falls apart. 1015 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's never had elbower shoulder problems. His arms strong, 1016 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: his legs are strong. He is the best thirty nine 1017 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 1: year old quarterback in NFL history. Dan hands, I decide 1018 00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:02,839 Speaker 1: to side with science, which typically works out. Thank you. Yeah, 1019 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that he won't play. That he could 1020 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,919 Speaker 1: have a good year. You guys, get in your church 1021 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: pews and you pray that the beautiful Tom Brady never 1022 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: gets old. Just had I will just hang out with 1023 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,360 Speaker 1: a scientist, the true scientists. Scientists got their nose in 1024 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 1: the books, not watching the game film. Well, here's here's 1025 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 1: one problem already. Yeah, I'm gonna go nuts about him 1026 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,840 Speaker 1: shredding the Cleveland Browns. It's not it's not it's the 1027 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: traits he showed. Wait until there's a pass rush come 1028 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,799 Speaker 1: at him and and all of a sudden he can't 1029 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 1: move like he used to. He's getting old. And you 1030 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,879 Speaker 1: know what, he ain't gonna fall off a cliff because 1031 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,240 Speaker 1: you want to bury me when he has a passer 1032 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 1: rating that's still around one hundred. Hashtag slight regression off 1033 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: the cliff next year. Those are the words of a 1034 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: scared little boy. You are scared of and you should 1035 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,919 Speaker 1: be scared this week the Bengals. If you think about 1036 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 1: the Bengals, what are the Bengals bad? It's that linebacker 1037 00:51:55,600 --> 00:52:00,320 Speaker 1: group perfect and they're just playing off. It's gonna be 1038 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: tough to match up with these tight ends and the 1039 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 1: Edelman and the running backs all over the middle of 1040 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 1: the field messing up. By the way, you would be 1041 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 1: the guys that were burning women at the stakes during 1042 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:17,480 Speaker 1: the same one, which I am with the educated saying, 1043 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 1: why is that you're the intellect? And this absolutely I'm 1044 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 1: looking at you guys thinking myself, tisk tisc, Why aren't 1045 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: you how I always think? Yes? How is you going 1046 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: from the guy who got a thirty nine on a 1047 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 1: state man David matth test and it was okay to 1048 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 1: bring up a B minus two. Now you're on the 1049 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: side of intellect because I am who I am. He's 1050 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 1: a feminist too. How about I'm not trying to present 1051 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,919 Speaker 1: myself as something I'm not. I'm just me. You guys 1052 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: can have your little head in the clouds about Tom Brady, 1053 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: all right, getting tired with science, it's getting tired. How 1054 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: about this. Let's focus on the defense which shut down 1055 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,320 Speaker 1: the number game last week and they did nothing against 1056 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 1: New England. You want to talk about Tom Brady the 1057 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,840 Speaker 1: whole time. That's fine. New England's defense down Cincinnati and 1058 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 1: take him out of this game. It's like, this is 1059 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 1: a complete team and they're going to the super Bowl 1060 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,879 Speaker 1: and we're trying to make for the Bengals and saying 1061 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 1: that tom Brady's done not a nonsense. He said, he's done. 1062 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 1: Dan's having a nightmare back name my flashback, you know, 1063 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,240 Speaker 1: hoping that he's not back at the super Bowl watching 1064 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,839 Speaker 1: all three of us kind of harry it out, water 1065 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,800 Speaker 1: up and down the host the lowest moment in the 1066 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast. It was so fun. I do 1067 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,280 Speaker 1: find it interesting that Chris Wesley and Donald Trump share 1068 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:31,399 Speaker 1: joined viewpoints on the deflate gate controversy. I don't even 1069 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has a viewpoint on that. Yes he does. 1070 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you guys are also carrying the water for 1071 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 1: the Trump supporter. I wonder. I feel like I'm on 1072 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:41,840 Speaker 1: the right side of history with a lot of this 1073 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 1: stuff we're talking about. You seem secure about. Let's move on, 1074 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 1: you guys get you know, go to your Trump rallies. 1075 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:54,920 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? No AMC West showdown time, 1076 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. The Kansas City Chiefs two and 1077 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 1: two traveling to Oakland to face the Rates who are 1078 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: four and one, the Raiders who keep on finding ways 1079 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 1: to win. Um. Andy Reid, of course, well known uh 1080 00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: for his team's uh succeeding after the bye week, which 1081 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,759 Speaker 1: I think means something. Uh. So, now we have a 1082 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,439 Speaker 1: Chancellor Andy to coach up his team for two weeks 1083 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 1: to take on the Raiders. What do we think about 1084 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: this one? Greg, I think it's gonna tell us a 1085 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,440 Speaker 1: lot about this A F C. West. I want to 1086 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 1: see this Chiefs offense start showing some progress because before 1087 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 1: the bye they weren't showing it. I mean they're throwing 1088 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 1: the ball forty times a game there in catchup mode. 1089 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 1: There's not a lot to be excited about. Whereas you 1090 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: look at your Oakland Raiders and there's a lot to 1091 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 1: be excited about. I mean Derek Carr every week. He's 1092 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: a tough guy to to pin down what is What 1093 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: is Derek Carr? Because people comparing to Brett Farvan, I 1094 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: think he's not Brett. He's not like Brett Farve at all. 1095 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 1: If anything, he'd rank high on the list of quarterbacks 1096 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 1: you'd expect to check the ball down on third and 1097 00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: fifteen and let his punter go out on the field. 1098 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,800 Speaker 1: He's not Damn yeah, he's not taken too many chances. 1099 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 1: It's a nice mix of a guy who knows when 1100 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,440 Speaker 1: to be aggressive, when to be safe. You know what 1101 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 1: I love about black Jack del Rio. He's got that religion, 1102 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 1: he's got the epiphany touchdowns, not field goals. Touchdowns not 1103 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 1: field goals. You don't win games with field goals in 1104 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: the NFL in the twenty one century. And black Jack 1105 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: del Rio this isn't new. If you remember when he 1106 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 1: was with the Jaguars, people thought he was a conservative coach. 1107 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: He went for and made fourth downs better than anyone 1108 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 1: because he had the best short yardage weapon in the league. 1109 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 1: NFL now's Maurice Jones drew, he's been doing this for 1110 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 1: a long time. So m j D. Was he that 1111 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,800 Speaker 1: NFL now version of MJD traveled back in time. He 1112 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 1: was a little more spelt back then. Okay, so that 1113 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 1: that era got you. I think the Raiders deserve credit 1114 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 1: for all offseason talking about the running back issue is 1115 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 1: something that needed to be addressed. And I'm not saying 1116 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 1: that they've found, you know, a fleet of all stars, 1117 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: but look at DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard and I 1118 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: think that they've got a diverse backfield now along with 1119 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: Latavia's Murray, and they can do more on the ground, 1120 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,440 Speaker 1: and they're a very balanced offense. They're hard to take down. 1121 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 1: You look at their schedule coming up after after what's 1122 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: coming up they have, They have a chance to make 1123 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: some make some dough here. Do you like their offense 1124 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 1: better with DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard on the field 1125 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 1: and Latavia's Murray not anywhere? Yes, I do, because I 1126 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: think they the two of them are harder for defenses 1127 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,319 Speaker 1: to deal with than just Latavius. I don't know. I'm 1128 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who I can come. I love 1129 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:36,279 Speaker 1: Jalen Richard, love his movements just incredible, and those guys 1130 00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 1: are being used together. It's not ones ahead of the other. 1131 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't know who to compared. DeAndre wasatched, dude. They're 1132 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,439 Speaker 1: fun to watch, though, I mean, it's like a poor 1133 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,239 Speaker 1: man's a mir Abdula little could I would think he 1134 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,360 Speaker 1: could be a little more physical, But yeah, I'll be 1135 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how much Jamal Charles we've 1136 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 1: seen in this game, and if the Chargers or if 1137 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna have some issues working him back 1138 00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,920 Speaker 1: into their offense. Well, he says, he says he's a 1139 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 1: and his speed has never left, so it sounds like 1140 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 1: he's confident that he's the same player he was. I mean, 1141 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 1: it'd be great. I mean, this is a tough division, 1142 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 1: but this is a big game for the Chiefs. If 1143 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 1: you're if you're two and three and you're potentially looking 1144 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: up at the you're looking up at the Raiders are 1145 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: now gonna be five and one with some good wins. 1146 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 1: Who knows what the Broncos, you know, they gotta start, 1147 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 1: they gotta start looking a little bit and they're like 1148 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 1: the Chiefs team we expected. Yeah, and the Raiders after 1149 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: this have the Jaguars and then the Buccaneers, then they 1150 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: faced the Broncos. That could be a fascinating game. Three 1151 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: weeks from now, let's one. I'll go Oakland. I don't 1152 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: see what not to like here. I think that they listen. 1153 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,920 Speaker 1: We we came very close to making them team of 1154 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 1: a t L for the for good reasons, and those 1155 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: don't go away because we didn't pick them. They're they're 1156 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 1: in this. They believe in themselves. We talked about team building. 1157 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: Why the Dolphins aren't that way? Why the why the 1158 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 1: Raiders are? I think they really believe in themselves and 1159 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,440 Speaker 1: this this this will meet out and win. I think 1160 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 1: these two teams are much closer than their records will suggest. 1161 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm picking the Chiefs because Andy Reid one of the 1162 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 1: best coaches of the Century is the bye week Master. 1163 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 1: He comes out of bye weeks and beats the crap 1164 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 1: out of Yeah. I am gonna pick the Raiders at 1165 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 1: a loyalty to them right now. But I really think 1166 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 1: this is a dangerous game and I would not be 1167 00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: surprised in the least of the Chiefs. Yeah, I I 1168 00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 1: agree with that. I think the way the Raiders have 1169 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,640 Speaker 1: been vulnerable. I've been to the big passes. There are 1170 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 1: boomer bust offense. I don't know if the chief Chiefs 1171 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,440 Speaker 1: aren't really the team to pull that off. If this 1172 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 1: were in Kansas City, I would wonder if it'd be 1173 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs all the way around. But it's in Oakland, all right, 1174 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 1: Let's move on in uh an NFC big NFC game, 1175 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 1: A showdown here? Fox Games, So what are you gonna get? 1176 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 1: You can get you Joe Buck. You're gonna get your 1177 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman. Although you know what Joe Buck MLB playoffs. 1178 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,440 Speaker 1: It's confusing. Is he gonna be close? Maybe not downstairs? 1179 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,920 Speaker 1: You can have Aaron Andrews who knows how to ask 1180 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 1: the right questions. What uh? The Falcons are four and 1181 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 1: one just went to Denver and beat the Broncos. The 1182 00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 1: defending champions. Uh really the game. If you weren't kind 1183 00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 1: of in on him before that, now a lot of 1184 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 1: people are. And now here is uh Dare I say 1185 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 1: an even bigger test, or at least right in that 1186 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 1: same ballpark, a trip to the Link to face the 1187 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks three and one coming off of bye. And 1188 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, Russell Wilson. Last time we saw him, he 1189 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 1: was absolutely shredding Terrible Jets secondary. Um, I don't think 1190 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 1: we'll have that much of an easy time in this game. 1191 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,440 Speaker 1: But at the same time, West, if he could do 1192 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 1: that when he was all banged up two weeks later, 1193 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,600 Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be Russell Wilson. Still you think, Yeah, 1194 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 1: this is an intriguing matchup, the battle that the dan 1195 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: Quinn revenge game, his return to Seattle. But you've got 1196 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 1: I look at like the intriguing part is the other 1197 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: way around. The Falcons offense. They have beaten in consecutive 1198 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 1: weeks both Super Bowl teams from last year. Now they 1199 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,280 Speaker 1: have a chance to beat the Super Bowl team from 1200 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 1: the year before, and you can look at it like 1201 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 1: this too. They could become the first team that the 1202 00:59:55,400 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 1: NFL researching department knows about that beat the previous years 1203 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,960 Speaker 1: leader and takeaways the Panthers, total defense the Broncos and 1204 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,240 Speaker 1: scoring defense the Seahawks in three consecutive weeks, which would 1205 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:11,840 Speaker 1: be astonishing. It isn't It is an incredible matchup. I mean, 1206 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 1: this this Seahawks defense, It's like, we know it's good, 1207 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 1: but I don't think people, I don't know if we 1208 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 1: quite appreciate that it's probably the best defense of our 1209 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,280 Speaker 1: lifetime in terms of over a four year strand. I mean, 1210 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 1: there's no team that's ever led the league in scoring 1211 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,560 Speaker 1: defense four straight years or not since the nineteen fifties. 1212 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 1: And it's the same group of guys year after year. 1213 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 1: They're so tough to run against, which makes this such 1214 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: a fascinating matchup When it's the Falcons, I mean, I'm 1215 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this. Well, it's the same personnel, right, 1216 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: You've got guys you hear about Richard Sherman and Earl 1217 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,880 Speaker 1: Thomas and Michael Bennett. Bobby Wagner is having a great year. kJ. Right, 1218 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 1: you talk about the Falcons running backs picking on the 1219 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: Broncos linebackers K J. Wright, one of the best coverage 1220 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,440 Speaker 1: linebackers in the NFL. They probably match up a lot 1221 01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 1: better than the Broncos do. To me this the Broncos 1222 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,959 Speaker 1: are gray, They're great defense. You can't take anything away 1223 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,120 Speaker 1: from how dominant they were. The Panthers certainly would realize 1224 01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,280 Speaker 1: to me that the Seahawks are always gonna be the 1225 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 1: best until proven other, especially the way they've come out, 1226 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 1: and they're always adding new little wrinkles like Frank Clark 1227 01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 1: being very good on third down. Deshan Chad's playing well 1228 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I mean it's in Seattle, and that's 1229 01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 1: a huge issue I think for the Falcons. But I 1230 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 1: give dan Quinn high marks also on defense because this 1231 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 1: is not an uber talented defense, not the way Seattle is. 1232 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 1: They have been extremely shorthanded at linebacker and you look 1233 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,440 Speaker 1: at last week, looked at it next gen stats. They 1234 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 1: played with one or two linebackers on sixty one out 1235 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,640 Speaker 1: of sixty three plays. That's hard to do and they 1236 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 1: what I think they we well, that's why they had 1237 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:41,840 Speaker 1: to do it, which I'm saying he did a good 1238 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 1: job of effectively getting around that. They put pressure on Denver, 1239 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 1: took advantage of what that right tackle hole in Denver, 1240 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 1: and I think that was the one of the first 1241 01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 1: game this season where the Broncos offense had zero identity. 1242 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:57,160 Speaker 1: They stripped the Broncos of any sense of identity. So 1243 01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see. Gonna be a different story 1244 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 1: again Russell and but he inherited a terrible defense. And 1245 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 1: you look at you look at down at Gus Bradley 1246 01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,760 Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. Dan Quinn is getting there more quickly than 1247 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. There are playoff team and no no team 1248 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 1: in history with the Falcon with an offense this good 1249 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 1: through five weeks has ever missed the playoff. But they 1250 01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 1: could lose this game thirty one to four teams that 1251 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised and it wouldn't take away from what 1252 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:26,920 Speaker 1: they've done. You know, you go on the road too 1253 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: straight weeks. So the Broncos and the Seahawks like how 1254 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,000 Speaker 1: dominants Matt Ryan been. He is first in passing yards 1255 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,200 Speaker 1: per game, first in yards for a temp ten point 1256 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,040 Speaker 1: four more own twelve touchdowns, second in the league, and 1257 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,120 Speaker 1: a passer raading of one one point six. Uh So 1258 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,960 Speaker 1: Ryan is shredding every opponent out there. Can I see 1259 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,439 Speaker 1: one thing because I think it's one reason that Matt Ryan, 1260 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,360 Speaker 1: this is part of it that line has been such 1261 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,240 Speaker 1: an issue in Atlanta for years and years. Alex Mack, 1262 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: who thrived in Cleveland, is one of the toughest centers has. 1263 01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes these free agent signings they don't carry over. 1264 01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,800 Speaker 1: This was one of the best. People are saying it 1265 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 1: all over the place, and it makes sense if you 1266 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 1: watch it. Alex Mack, play after play is taking care 1267 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 1: of business, and it is multiple plays a game where 1268 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,200 Speaker 1: he gives Matt Ryan in the pocket that one extra 1269 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 1: half second to get the pass off and that helps 1270 01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 1: that offensive ton Let's pick this game mark Seattle again. 1271 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,440 Speaker 1: The Falcons are for real, but Seattle is too good 1272 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 1: at home. I'm taking the Seahawks. I think the Falcons 1273 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 1: of the story of the NFL after this game, I 1274 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 1: think they win again. I do think the Seahawks will 1275 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,880 Speaker 1: will win a relatively comfortable game. What a zeuser with, 1276 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,560 Speaker 1: What a comfortable matchup? What a great coaching matchup. Carol 1277 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,240 Speaker 1: and Shanahan might be the two. What do you think 1278 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 1: by comfortable? Because I think this type of I'm in 1279 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,880 Speaker 1: on the Seahawks just being I think the Falcons are 1280 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,400 Speaker 1: scoring more than fourteen points even against the great defense. 1281 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 1: Let's move on and talk about another great late game, 1282 01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,720 Speaker 1: this one between the Dallas Cowboys four and one heading 1283 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,240 Speaker 1: to Green Bay to face the three and one Packers. 1284 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: The Packers um a nice win over the Giants where 1285 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 1: they look clearly like the better team and that matchup 1286 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,960 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are back to the two thousand fourteen 1287 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys where they run the ball uh in a dominant fashion, 1288 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,920 Speaker 1: they chew up the clock UH, their quarterback makes plays 1289 01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 1: when he has to, and they they are doing it 1290 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,480 Speaker 1: again this year and that's why they're four and one 1291 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:28,280 Speaker 1: right now. However, Mark Sessler, can the Cowboys hang with 1292 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 1: a real team on the road? What do you think? 1293 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:32,960 Speaker 1: I would like this better if it were in Dallas. 1294 01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,160 Speaker 1: But the matchup is the run game and the offensive 1295 01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 1: line that you just mentioned against a run defense that 1296 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,600 Speaker 1: has not given up more than fifty yards to any 1297 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 1: team this year. Here's the deal though, green Bay. Green 1298 01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,120 Speaker 1: Bay's run defense shows the signs of being completely legit. 1299 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: But they played the Jags, the Vikings with missing Adrian 1300 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 1: Peterson for a big part of that game, the Lions 1301 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:57,160 Speaker 1: who have nobody, and the Giants, so that's not four 1302 01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:00,880 Speaker 1: premier run defenses this They will be tested this week 1303 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 1: out and that's not the only thing that Dallas does well. 1304 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott has gotten better every week. We've talked about 1305 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,920 Speaker 1: that every show that we've had featuring the Cowboys. This 1306 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: is a lot of times they'll say, oh, Cowboys, Green 1307 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 1: Bay game of the week. Of course it is, doesn't 1308 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,040 Speaker 1: matter what the records are, have a nice time with yourselves. 1309 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:18,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna we're gonna force you to watch it. But 1310 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 1: this time around, this game is exciting. I mean this, 1311 01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,280 Speaker 1: this is well no, because you know what, I have 1312 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,760 Speaker 1: been down on the Cowboys for a long time because 1313 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,360 Speaker 1: they could go three and thirteen and get eighteen Sunday 1314 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,920 Speaker 1: night football games, and I don't like that dynamic. That 1315 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,800 Speaker 1: does not feel right, That does not feel fair to 1316 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 1: me at all. This one deserves to be where it 1317 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: is in the late afternoon spot. Great Matchup's how fun 1318 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are to watch. Everybody spends the whole week 1319 01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 1: talking about the quarterback situation, which may not even matter 1320 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 1: for another month or whatever. But when I look at 1321 01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,880 Speaker 1: this team, this it's gonna sound like hyperbole, but in 1322 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,000 Speaker 1: the twenty one century, to watch an offense that could 1323 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,360 Speaker 1: have six future Hall of Famers on if you asked 1324 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,920 Speaker 1: thirty two g ms in the league to pick the 1325 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,480 Speaker 1: best tacker, tackle, garden center, or the one they would 1326 01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 1: win on a team. I think they're taking Tirn Smith, 1327 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 1: Zack Martin, and Travis Frederick from the Cowboys. Des Bryant 1328 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 1: needs to stay healthy. He's got a chance for the 1329 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,240 Speaker 1: whole of fame. I know it's early. Ezekiel Elliott special, 1330 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 1: There's no weakness in his game whatsoever. It's early for 1331 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 1: the lineman two in terms of Hall of Fame. Not 1332 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: that they want to have a chance, but these guys 1333 01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 1: are These guys are all all Pro talents, and if 1334 01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 1: you're an all Pro talent, you've got a chance at 1335 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame someday. Jason Witten's Jason Witten's going. 1336 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:34,640 Speaker 1: So there's six comes back. Romo's I get it, Donovan 1337 01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,480 Speaker 1: McNabb category right now. I would put Romo in. You know, 1338 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm I'm interested. I'm loving this game. I'm I'm annoyed 1339 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: that the two best games of the week are both 1340 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,280 Speaker 1: for five. They should flex one early, make that move 1341 01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: so you got one great one early one. Oh. By 1342 01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,480 Speaker 1: the way, Cool Beasley is a top five slot receiver 1343 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,800 Speaker 1: this year too. I want to see more. Though, what 1344 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:57,400 Speaker 1: I was trying was I was gonna say, I want 1345 01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 1: to see more out of this Packers team. I'm not 1346 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:04,520 Speaker 1: excited about this pack team. I'm kind of watching and 1347 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,000 Speaker 1: it's the same stuff. And Aaron Rodgers is great and 1348 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,400 Speaker 1: now he's getting great protection. So that's not an excuse. 1349 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, let's show me something a little more. 1350 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 1: I've seen this movie before. I'm excited about the Cowboys. 1351 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,960 Speaker 1: Here's a major, a major problem for the Packers on 1352 01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 1: Sunday in terms of having a balance attack. Eddie Lacy 1353 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 1: has an ankle injury and we're starting to hear some 1354 01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:27,320 Speaker 1: not so great things about his availability. James Stark Starks, 1355 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 1: his backup, has a knee injury here at his knee 1356 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 1: this week. So if they're out those two guys, and 1357 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,680 Speaker 1: those guys are significantly limited once again, you're putting Aaron 1358 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 1: Rodgers in a tough spot. And he's not automatic anymore 1359 01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,760 Speaker 1: last a year and a half or so. Well, he's 1360 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 1: not part of the solution right now as far as 1361 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,480 Speaker 1: how to fix this offense. He's part of the problem. 1362 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:47,520 Speaker 1: His footwork remains spotty. He likes to throw without setting 1363 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 1: his feet, which means it's not a surprise when he's 1364 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 1: last in the NFL and completion percentage. Well, you made 1365 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 1: a you made a a big move on your own 1366 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 1: personal QB index this week. I don't know if people 1367 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 1: saw Dan, if you saw Chris Twitter account, he said, 1368 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 1: for the first time in the years, for the first 1369 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:09,000 Speaker 1: time in years, Aaron Rodgers would not be the quarterback 1370 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 1: Chris Wesleyan wanted for the next two to three years. 1371 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,600 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's now that ever since that Super Bowl run 1372 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 1: in two thousand two eleven, I thought Aaron Rodgers was 1373 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 1: the best player in the NFL and the guy want 1374 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:21,600 Speaker 1: to build around for the next couple of years. I 1375 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 1: would take Big Ben over Aaron Rodgers right now. Fair enough. 1376 01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 1: H Let's move on, guys and talk about the Indianapolis 1377 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 1: cults heading to Houston UH to take on the Texans, 1378 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,960 Speaker 1: and the Texans could not hang last week against the Vikings, 1379 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 1: overwhelmed atteen loss the Colts, they flirted with disaster. Greg 1380 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 1: you said before last week's game that that could be 1381 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,720 Speaker 1: the biggest game and the or attorney point for the 1382 01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,600 Speaker 1: Pagano UH, Griggs and ra if they couldn't find a 1383 01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,560 Speaker 1: way to win they just barely did find they do 1384 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,840 Speaker 1: they seem to do so. But uh, here's Andrew Luck 1385 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,560 Speaker 1: now facing the Texans without J. J. Watt. But the 1386 01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:00,599 Speaker 1: problem here, Greg is that it's seems like it doesn't 1387 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,320 Speaker 1: matter who Andrew Luck plays. He's getting tossed around like 1388 01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 1: a rag doll. Yeah, they can't protect him, and and 1389 01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,800 Speaker 1: the Texans have enough good pass rushers to get after 1390 01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 1: teams well. Jendeveon Clowney's coming off his best game of 1391 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,800 Speaker 1: the season by far, was mostly in the running game, 1392 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,439 Speaker 1: but he looks good. Whitney Merciless. It's still a good 1393 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 1: Texans defense, not a great one. Uh. But the the 1394 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,799 Speaker 1: biggest weak spot in this game is not the Colts defense. 1395 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 1: You would think Colts defense Texans offense. You know, going 1396 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 1: into the here, you would think Houston has the edge. 1397 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,800 Speaker 1: I give the edge of the Colts defense right now. 1398 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,920 Speaker 1: That's how bad brock os Wiler and this Houston offense 1399 01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,120 Speaker 1: is playing. And on the other side of Andrew Luck 1400 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 1: is playing really well. Yeah, And there's no way I 1401 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,640 Speaker 1: am taking a brock offs water let offense against and 1402 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,680 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck led offense in Houston. That I know that, 1403 01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 1: I know it's in Houston. But there's no way I'm 1404 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,240 Speaker 1: picking brockofs Water to beat Andrew Luck. Right now, we're 1405 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,799 Speaker 1: looking at the board. This is the third worst defense 1406 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: in the league and tied for the second to worst 1407 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 1: offense in terms of yard and so, all things being equal, 1408 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,719 Speaker 1: I would agree with you West, but I I'm gonna 1409 01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:02,599 Speaker 1: go with Houston in this game because I think we're 1410 01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 1: gonna get something, a little freaky, little wolf fuller action, 1411 01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 1: something just to put them over the edge. The Cults are. 1412 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,800 Speaker 1: It is not Andrew Luck's fault on any level, but 1413 01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:12,840 Speaker 1: I I feel like this it gets time get tired 1414 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,439 Speaker 1: of talking about the Cults because it's every week. I 1415 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 1: don't like the way they're put together. I'm I'm I'm 1416 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:18,559 Speaker 1: just gonna press a button that says that every week 1417 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 1: they're not fun for me to watch. I don't enjoy 1418 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,000 Speaker 1: the way that they approach games, and Houston to me, 1419 01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,879 Speaker 1: is the better coach team. Bill O'Brien's had some problems 1420 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 1: this year. That last game was a disaster against the Vikings, 1421 01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:31,800 Speaker 1: but they ran into a buzz saw. That's a good 1422 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 1: team they played. They got ripped by the Patriots. That's 1423 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:36,599 Speaker 1: another great team that could be your Super Bowl preview 1424 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:38,639 Speaker 1: right there. The Cults are not one of those teams. 1425 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,840 Speaker 1: And I'm tired of hearing from the top on down 1426 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 1: that the Cults are breadth away from the playoffs. Give 1427 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 1: me a break, well, because that's what inside the building. 1428 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 1: They seem to still think that they are that. But 1429 01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:54,479 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means division exactly. I don't 1430 01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:58,120 Speaker 1: know what winning the a f C South meaning yeah, 1431 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Luck meaning always makes it, watch it. 1432 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,839 Speaker 1: T Y. Hilton's off to having a really nice season. 1433 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean he's putting up numbers. Luck I think has 1434 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,120 Speaker 1: consciously dialed it back. If you watch him, I think 1435 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 1: he's really trying to take that step towards being a 1436 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,840 Speaker 1: little more like the Brady Manning types and not take 1437 01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 1: so many. He's more careful. He's more careful, and it's working. 1438 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,160 Speaker 1: That's why you can say he's doing everything that he 1439 01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,280 Speaker 1: can do, because he's still making some great plays, but 1440 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,920 Speaker 1: he's not taking You see plenty of quarterbacks say they're 1441 01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,040 Speaker 1: going to do that and then instinctively they don't and 1442 01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,200 Speaker 1: they're out of the lineup by week four. It's good 1443 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,920 Speaker 1: if Luck can actually make that adjustment. He's always had 1444 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,240 Speaker 1: the kind of ball placement on throws on the run 1445 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:37,519 Speaker 1: where you just say, you shake your head and say, 1446 01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:39,320 Speaker 1: how many people can do that? But he mix a 1447 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:41,200 Speaker 1: lot of errand throws and he's not doing as much 1448 01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 1: of that this year. When one thing out of Vosswealer 1449 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,639 Speaker 1: I don't like is when he misses throws or things 1450 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:47,160 Speaker 1: go bad, and you know, I hate to be the 1451 01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 1: body language, but he does. He does this sort of 1452 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,200 Speaker 1: like I can't believe it, you know, and he like 1453 01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:59,040 Speaker 1: goes over to the sideline kind of don't that's a 1454 01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 1: drop from now and at the end of time we 1455 01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,240 Speaker 1: need that. Greg's whole body went. He's like the opposite 1456 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 1: of Case Keaton. Case Keating might be the best quarterback 1457 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,840 Speaker 1: in the league, but man, he's like going crazy. He's 1458 01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,439 Speaker 1: like excited like a kid every time they do something. 1459 01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 1: I think there's probably inside of Oswiler's mind a lot 1460 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,679 Speaker 1: of pressure. I mean, you were the premier free agent 1461 01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,200 Speaker 1: signing and you're watching invited that pressure. Yes he did, 1462 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,400 Speaker 1: and you know what, He's going home to a house 1463 01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,559 Speaker 1: with twenty seven rooms, so it can't be that bad. 1464 01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,800 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say, to quote Liberaci, he's laughing all 1465 01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 1: the way to the beast. He is, but there are 1466 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:33,519 Speaker 1: like five or six rookies that have played in spot 1467 01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,960 Speaker 1: time or started this year that looked better than him already. 1468 01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,960 Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon looks better already. John Elway looks a lot 1469 01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: better already. I mean, what else do you need. Let's 1470 01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,759 Speaker 1: move on to Monday Night football. The New York Jets 1471 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,599 Speaker 1: one in four, the season in tatters, going down in flames, 1472 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 1: nothing to be excited about. Travel to Arizona to face 1473 01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. A Cardinals team that did not have uh, 1474 01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,720 Speaker 1: their quarterback Carson Palm last week in a win. Now 1475 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,280 Speaker 1: they get Carson Palmer back, who is uh he is 1476 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,800 Speaker 1: out of the concussion protocol correct right, so he will 1477 01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,120 Speaker 1: be back in action. We want to see how he 1478 01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 1: looks now. Great matchup for the entire Cardinals passing attack 1479 01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 1: because the Jets have one of the worst secondaries and 1480 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 1: football's it's turned out, and we still don't know if 1481 01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 1: Jerrold Rievers is playing this week as of as of 1482 01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:24,639 Speaker 1: this taping, and because it's a very good chance, well 1483 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,479 Speaker 1: they will be without him again. And one thing I 1484 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 1: want to say with this, the one thing that Jets 1485 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 1: have to hold on to defensively is they still stop 1486 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,960 Speaker 1: the run very well. But what Pittsburgh did last week 1487 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 1: is a blueprint that I'm sure Bruce Arians and the 1488 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,840 Speaker 1: Cardinals will follows, Like, Okay, if we can't get a 1489 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,439 Speaker 1: running game going well, we'll do is just check it 1490 01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,080 Speaker 1: down and throw a bunch of screen passes and find 1491 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 1: different ways to get the ball in the hands of 1492 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,080 Speaker 1: David Johnson. So don't be surprised, fantasy heads out there, 1493 01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,840 Speaker 1: if you're running back, if you have David Johnson has 1494 01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:56,639 Speaker 1: between eighty and a hundred yards receiving in this game, 1495 01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,439 Speaker 1: because they're gonna once the ball gets to these running backs. 1496 01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 1: The jetsice don't have the personnel to stop these guys 1497 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,759 Speaker 1: before they pick up five to twenty yards. Don't be surprised. 1498 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,960 Speaker 1: Also if this is the week that John Brown and 1499 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 1: Michael Floyd joined Larry Fitzgerald and make this the top 1500 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,719 Speaker 1: wide receiver trio again, because like you said, the Jets 1501 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:19,280 Speaker 1: give up, they hemorrhage big plays in the secondary. That's 1502 01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,600 Speaker 1: John Brown's forte getting deep and Michael Floyd is a 1503 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:24,479 Speaker 1: big play receiver when he's right. He hasn't been right 1504 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 1: this year, whether it's mentally or physically or whatever. He 1505 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,880 Speaker 1: hasn't been right. Forty eight dropbacks for Roethlisberger, one QB 1506 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,760 Speaker 1: hit by the Jets last week, So that that's a 1507 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 1: problem that the Cardinals have not been able to deal 1508 01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 1: with pressure. I think this is a game where you 1509 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,479 Speaker 1: see Todd Bowls, who has been a little cautious this 1510 01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,600 Speaker 1: year because his secondary is bad. Maybe just throw a 1511 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 1: little caution to the win and just come after this Cardinals. 1512 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:46,920 Speaker 1: You've you've been saying this week, you think this is 1513 01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:49,600 Speaker 1: a buzz saw, you know, type of matchup having to 1514 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:51,600 Speaker 1: go there on midnight I said last week, was this 1515 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,200 Speaker 1: one not necessarily? I mean, I gotta see it. I 1516 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,519 Speaker 1: gotta see it out of the Cardinals before I think 1517 01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:59,960 Speaker 1: there anything but an average team. They have, they opsolute 1518 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,680 Speaker 1: at least should be better, but they want to. They 1519 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:03,800 Speaker 1: gotta show it. They haven't put it all together. They've 1520 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,640 Speaker 1: put signs, they've got who's got a better bookend a 1521 01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,200 Speaker 1: rushing tandem right now than Marcus Golden and Chandler Jones. 1522 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,920 Speaker 1: Their secondary has the pieces, they haven't done it yet. 1523 01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,240 Speaker 1: And then on offense, I think the pieces are there too. 1524 01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:16,840 Speaker 1: You just gotta get Carson Palmer healthy and everybody on 1525 01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,160 Speaker 1: the same page. And I think I do think this 1526 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,360 Speaker 1: is a bit of a sleeping giant. The pieces are 1527 01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:23,000 Speaker 1: there for the Cardinals. It might be if they ever 1528 01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 1: lost this game, they are I would wonder what happens 1529 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 1: to them. I think it might be over because you've 1530 01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,800 Speaker 1: got Seattle next week. If you're the Cardinals, you gotta 1531 01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,160 Speaker 1: go to Carolina. Not a great team, but that's that's 1532 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:35,920 Speaker 1: a tough matchup for the Cardinals the way in their 1533 01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,120 Speaker 1: current state. Then after the bye two weeks later, you've 1534 01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,439 Speaker 1: got the Vikings. You've got a rough stretch. This is cool. 1535 01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna find out what the Cardinals are. And on 1536 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 1: the Jet side, the loss of Eric Decker. He got 1537 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 1: set to I R. He's having shoulder surgery and he's 1538 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,400 Speaker 1: probably done for the year. We all knew would be 1539 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,799 Speaker 1: a big loss if he was gone, but it really 1540 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,439 Speaker 1: is magnified when you're actually in the middle of watching 1541 01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: these games and the Jets get to the red zone 1542 01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 1: and Brandon Marshall is a stud down the red zoe, 1543 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,479 Speaker 1: but they have no one else to go to. And Decker, 1544 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 1: that was his specialty. He was a lock for them 1545 01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,320 Speaker 1: last year for you know, seventy five in a touch 1546 01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: almost every week, and they simply don't have the bodies. 1547 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:11,720 Speaker 1: I know when people got excited about Quincy and non 1548 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,880 Speaker 1: Noir earlier in the season, as did I, but he 1549 01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:15,519 Speaker 1: has not been able to pick up the slack and 1550 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,120 Speaker 1: they don't have much behind him. So a huge loss 1551 01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 1: of Eric Decker. I mean, this is just a bad 1552 01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 1: situation for the Jets. I think it will be competitive though. 1553 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,160 Speaker 1: I just got a feeling this game goes into the 1554 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,479 Speaker 1: fourth quarter and it's a tight game. But I can't 1555 01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 1: say that I see the Jets coming out of here. 1556 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:32,880 Speaker 1: There are people out there now picking on the way 1557 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 1: the Jets have been put together and built that they're old, 1558 01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,719 Speaker 1: that they've got this defensive line, the statue of defensive linement, 1559 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 1: but outside of it, they're an aging team with a 1560 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,000 Speaker 1: lot of stop gap type players. And if you look 1561 01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,720 Speaker 1: at it, it's not a crazy thing to say, or 1562 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,200 Speaker 1: does it concern you that maybe the whole GM group 1563 01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:51,960 Speaker 1: on down it's gonna have to take a step back 1564 01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 1: and rebuild this team big time. You got old players 1565 01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:57,560 Speaker 1: in this. I think it comes down to this. For me, 1566 01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,800 Speaker 1: is the Reevas situation with him get I think that 1567 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 1: affected the entire team, the mindset of the team, the 1568 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:09,040 Speaker 1: snagger of the team, and most importantly from a personnel standpoint, 1569 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:10,960 Speaker 1: you thought you had a guy who's still even if 1570 01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 1: he wasn't number one, he was like top ten and 1571 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:14,880 Speaker 1: you could that guy don't have to worry about once 1572 01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:18,120 Speaker 1: he became a liability and now he got hurt. Everything 1573 01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 1: hit the fan, and I don't think they've recovered from 1574 01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:21,760 Speaker 1: that as a team. I think that's been a big 1575 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,880 Speaker 1: reason why their secondary has been so bad because him 1576 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,519 Speaker 1: all of a sudden becoming mortal. I don't think Todd 1577 01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 1: Bowles was prepared for space wasn't prepared for that. That 1578 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:36,360 Speaker 1: was a stunning setback for the franchise. We heard Gary 1579 01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 1: Kubiak talk about getting DeVante book or more in because 1580 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 1: he has fresh legs. That Forte has got the opposite 1581 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 1: of fresh legs right now. Yeah, he shouldn't have. He's 1582 01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:47,599 Speaker 1: a lot like Gore, who's they're like my two favorite 1583 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:51,120 Speaker 1: guys from like fort Is playing through injuries because they're 1584 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,160 Speaker 1: good as role players, but they don't have the juice, 1585 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,680 Speaker 1: they don't have the burst right now. More involved in 1586 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,839 Speaker 1: the whole way. He's a good guy out of the backfield, 1587 01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,840 Speaker 1: he's become their receiving act. But they should have more 1588 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,400 Speaker 1: of it, not an even load, but maybe you know, 1589 01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:07,959 Speaker 1: all right, that's it. We will be back on Sunday. 1590 01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:10,880 Speaker 1: That's the next time you'll hear from us. All the 1591 01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,640 Speaker 1: games that we just talked about. We will recap uh 1592 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,200 Speaker 1: and we're gonna do it with a touch of mirth. 1593 01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 1: I like when we do that.
