1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up, 2 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Tuesday, 3 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: October four. Kind of an ugly Monday night football game 4 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: last night. Not a bit of a surprise. If you 5 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: listen to the pod yesterday, you knew we liked the Niners. 6 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan continues to own McVeigh and listen. I didn't 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: have any spicy takes coming out of Week four Sunday Slate. Obviously, 8 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: the to situation Thursday was interesting, but I don't know 9 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: anybody who if you watch the Rams last season, especially 10 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: during their late season run and during the playoffs and 11 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl, and then you watched this year's 12 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: version of the Rams. Folks, I warned you when I 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: filled in for calherd uh late day in August, late 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: August Day, that the schedule is lethal and the Rams 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: are going to be in jeopardy missing the playoffs. I'm 16 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: not here to just come out blazing hot takes on 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: the Rams, but folks, it's clear they have played two 18 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: very good teams, the Bills and the forty Niners. Both 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: of them have very good defenses. They scored a grand 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: total of one touchdown eight quarters against two of the 21 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: elite teams in the league, and they have one touchdown. 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: The problem, it's the offensive line is a joke. It 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: is nowhere near what it was last year. They got 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: housed again. I believe Stafford was sacked, and my internet 25 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: slow this morning, so I'll have to call it up 26 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: in a second. I believe he's was sacked six times. 27 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: Five different Niners got sacks. They cannot protect Stafford, thus 28 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: they can't move the ball. The Allen Robinson experience, oh my, 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Stafford was dropped seven times. Seven 30 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: They can't protect them. The offense is really bad. The 31 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson thing is just abysmal. I can't believe I 32 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: drafted him in two of my four fantasy leagues. What 33 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: an idiotic move that was. I mean, Alan Robinson is 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: the highest paid decoy in the league. It's pathetic, like 35 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: he can't get separation. Stafford doesn't look to him ever, 36 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: he looks to the tight end Higbie or is it 37 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: Higbie Higbie whatever. He looked at the white kids, Skowar 38 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: Nick or set number eighteen until he got injured. I mean, 39 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: it's it's really bad. This offense can do nothing against 40 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: elite teams. That's two folks. So Stafford was sacked seven 41 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: times against the Bills, seven times against the Niners. Matt 42 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: Stafford now with six interceptions, tops in the NFL. Matt Stafford, 43 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the stat on the broadcast, 44 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: three picks in the fourth quarter alone this season. Do 45 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: you know many passing touchdowns he has in the fourth zip? Zero? 46 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: Stingy with Din Narrow. Matt Stafford has been quite bad, 47 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: but again he's not fully to blame because his offensive 48 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: line is a joke. And the Rams folks, they're in 49 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: some trouble. They totally of laid an egg against two 50 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: back two really good teams to a top elite teams. 51 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: Niners are in that upper middle class that we talked 52 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: about yesterday. Buffalo obviously an elite team. And then what 53 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: do they do against Arizona. Well, they look okay against Arizona. 54 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: They had two offensive touchdowns and they had four against 55 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: the Falcons, but that's one of the worst defenses in 56 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: the league. Gino Smith moved the ball up and down 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: the field against them, okay. Jacoby Brissette had tons of success. 58 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: So the book on the Rams. Right now, folks, when 59 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: they go against top tier teams, their roadkill. They have 60 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: now lost to the Niners by fifteen, right, I can 61 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: do matth Yeah, they lost to the Niners by fifteen 62 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: and the Bills by that's getting blown out by the 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: really good teams. They're not even the Rams are not 64 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: even in that upper middle class. Now, what's weird is 65 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: the NFC West because of the early season high jinks. 66 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: Everybody's two and two. We all know Seattle is not 67 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: good and I don't want to hear Gino Smith stats. 68 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: You know, he puts up some big numbers against some 69 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: bad defenses than the first half against Denver. Whoop de 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: damn do Okay, Arizona is not good yet they're gonna 71 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: get healthier. San Francisco, we all agree, is the class 72 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: of the division. That's very evident at this point. And 73 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: if you're McVeigh, I think you gotta start to wonder 74 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: what the hell does Kyle Shanna have have against me. 75 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: He's won seven of eight against McVeigh. The only loss 76 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: was in the NFC title game. Worth noting, I was 77 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: in attendance that that it was a great game. And 78 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: by the way, the forty Niners were in position to 79 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: win most of the second half. That was the game 80 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: with the infamous Tart dropped interception if you remember, I 81 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: think it was early fourth quarter he dropped the pick, 82 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: and then it was the Cooper Cup show late um 83 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: and then Garoppolo had an issue. I mean I think 84 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,119 Speaker 1: he had an interception and he couldn't eat. Just wasn't 85 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: delivering late in the game. But Deepo Samuel had a 86 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: good game in that when he broke another long touchdown 87 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: last night, Basically Shanahan and Deebo Samuel just completely flummocks 88 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: I think that's a good word. Flummocks the Rams. Now 89 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: I saw this other thing that was crazy. So I'm 90 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: going through the box score late in the game and 91 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: I'm like, who's really delivering for the Rams? Man there nobody. 92 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: I mean, Acres hasn't broken a carry. Henderson can't get loose. Boy. 93 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: These guys they just cannot get explosive place. And I 94 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: look at him like, oh my gosh. Their longest carry 95 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: was eleven yards by Powell and they did not have 96 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: a reception over twenty yards. So you're telling me this 97 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Rams offense, which won the Super Bowl last year, now 98 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: they did lose Odell Beckham, They lost the office, a 99 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: couple of guys on the offensive line. They had zero 100 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: plays over twenty yards against the last night zero. Jeff 101 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: Wilson had one by himself, a huge run. There was 102 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: a touchdown, Deebo Samuel had a couple. Um Us Check 103 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: had a big one, Kittle had a big one. It 104 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: was like they I think they had five explosive plays. 105 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: The Rams had zero. So you can tell me how 106 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: good Aaron Donald is. He had two tackles for loss. 107 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: He was living in the backfield. He hit Garoppolo to 108 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: a ton Like I just I don't see a path 109 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: to success for this Rams team unless they can somehow 110 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: get healthy, own the offensive line, or get reinforcements. And 111 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, we're starting to find out that it's impossible 112 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: to find quarterbacks in the NFL. It's really tough to 113 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: find fill in offensive linemen in the league. So all 114 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, rob g the Rams, who were thought 115 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: to be Super Bowl contenders. They're not. Let's just be 116 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: clear about there, they're not. They now host the Dallas 117 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: Cowboys in what is an interesting game in the NFC, 118 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: because I think everybody's as surprised as I am the 119 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys with Cooper Rush or three and one. They're gonna 120 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: start Cooper Rush. There's a big game Sunday. At so far, 121 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: it's the Fox Game, and I don't know what to 122 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: say that if Dallas comes in and is able to 123 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: win this game and the Rams struggle against a pretty 124 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: good defense, like we know Michael Parsons and de Marcus 125 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: Lawrence are wrecking offensive lines like I'm talking just tearing 126 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: them up. If they do that to the Rams Stafford 127 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: on a short week, I don't know, Rob, I I 128 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: think you really have to worry about about these Rams. Now. 129 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: The good news is they get the forty niners out 130 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: of the way before Halloween. They played Dallas Carolina San 131 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: franz and so they won't have to see Shanahan again, 132 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: thank goodness. But they do have the a f a 133 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: f C West. Now, I know the a f C 134 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: West has not looked great, but let's be realistic at 135 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: this point. I mean, Raiders are starting to show signs 136 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: of life against the Broncos Kansas City, I think, for 137 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: my money, best team in the league. Like, I don't know, man, 138 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: this does not seem like a favorable season ahead for 139 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: the L a Rams. Fox Sports Radio has the best 140 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: sports talk lineup in the nation. All of our shows 141 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: at Fox sports Radio dot com and within the I 142 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: Heart Radio app search f s R to listen live. 143 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: You know what, Jason, I'm gonna take into task a 144 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: little bit here because I think that you're giving Matthew 145 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: Stafford too big of a pass. Okay, he's been bad. 146 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: He has been horrible. I mean, he hasn't been Baker 147 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: Mayfield bad, but he has been terrible. Entering last night's game, 148 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: There's a a Twitter follower or Twitter guy that I 149 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: followed from the athletic name is Ben Baldwin, and um, 150 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: all he does is analytics and spreadsheets and a lot 151 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: of things that are really hard to convey in a 152 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: podcast form. He's got to follow him on Twitter, uh 153 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: to see what I'm talking about. But before last night's game, 154 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: he put up this graph that had Matthew Stafford and 155 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: Jared Goff and comparing how each guy performs in their 156 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: career with the Rams relative to how well the team 157 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: pass blocks. Matthew Stafford Jared Goff almost identical, en Matthew 158 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: Stafford also almost identical. And the nineteen season is when 159 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: famously Sean McVeigh decided, you know what, maybe when you 160 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: start looking for somebody else and this guy's just not it, 161 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm done with this chump. Exactly. He had one more season, 162 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: but it was ten was when he decided I'm gonna 163 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: move on. I think that Los Angeles rams are starting 164 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: to see what Detroit Lions fans saw for all those years. 165 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: There's something about Matthew Stafford that is always gonna leave 166 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: you wanting more. What he did last season in the 167 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: playoffs and credit to him, you can't take away. The 168 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: championship is gonna go down to the history books. He 169 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: had a fantastic run. But to me, the more that 170 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: we step back and watch the totality of his career, 171 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: it's a little Joe Flacco wish he got hot at 172 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: the right time, wrote his way to a championship and 173 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: even then, as some people will point out, I'm not 174 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: one of them, but some people will point out that 175 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: Ferry book storybook anning does not take place. If Chakwaski 176 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: Tarken catching interception and if you championship game, we could 177 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: do that with a lot of exactly. So that's why 178 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm choosing not to really dive into it. But save 179 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: for that miraculous postseason run last year, the last eight 180 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: games regular season for Matthew Stafford fifteen interceptions in eight games. 181 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: That's what he does. He he he is a high 182 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: interception guy. I think that is Jamis Winston esque. And 183 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: so if you mean to tell me that the Los 184 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams gave up all of that draft capital and 185 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: just signed a fat extension and Matthew Stafford and in 186 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: order for him to be successful, he's got to have 187 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: top flight offensive line play, then why did you pay him? Well? 188 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: I think the reason why, the reason why you pay 189 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: these guys that kind of money, the elite of the 190 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: elite is because they can turn lemons into lemonade. Okay, 191 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: at different points in their career, every single one of 192 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: the upper echelon guys, whether it's Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, 193 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, pick whoever you think 194 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: is in the the upper tier, there have been times 195 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: in their career where they didn't have everything perfect around them. 196 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: Their receivers weren't that great, the offensive line wasn't that good, 197 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: the running game wasn't working, and they found ways to 198 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: get it done and Matthew Stafford, at least this season 199 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: and towards the end of last season before that playoff run, 200 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: is showing you that if he doesn't have everything in 201 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: place the same way Jared Goff needed it, then he's 202 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: just a guy. Well, I think you're going a little. 203 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: I mean, this seems a lot now. I found myself 204 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: having to defend Stafford because I'm looking at that playoff run. Right. Yes, 205 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: he throws a lot of picks. I think he led 206 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: the league in interceptions last year or he was tied, 207 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: and then I think he threw the most pick sixes. 208 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: He also in the postseason orchestrated last last minute drives 209 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: to beat the Bucks on the road, to beat the 210 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: Niners at home. That wasn't last minute, that was like 211 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: last like six five minutes or whatever. And then the 212 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, so high leverage moments Stafford delivered. Now, he 213 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: did have two picks in the Super Bowl, he had 214 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: one against San France in the NFC Title Game, and 215 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: and he struggled down the stretch the final three games 216 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: he had three, four, five, six seven interceptions. So he 217 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: is a big, no risk it, no biscuit guy. Right. Uh, 218 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: you know he's willing to hang in the pocket and 219 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: make that throw to Cooper Cup against Tampa, which is 220 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: like a legendary throw, maybe the greatest throw of his career. 221 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: He's willing to hang in the pocket in the Super 222 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: Bowl against the Bengals and make that no look pass 223 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: against the two high shell. That is probably the greatest 224 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: throw that he's ever made. And I would venture one 225 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: of the best throws in Super Bowl history if you've 226 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: looked at the probably one of the stupidest considering where 227 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: he had been up into that point. To throw that 228 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: no look pass in that situation was I don't listen. 229 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to say. There's like a Steph Curry 230 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: comparison where it's like shooters shoot like Matt Stafford is 231 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: a has a phenomenal arm. He's gonna beat you with it. 232 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: It's also gonna cost you sometimes. And I don't even 233 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: know if it was his arm or the red or 234 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: the forty Niners kid by the way, that safety is 235 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: playing out of his mind. Um, I can't even pronounce 236 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: his name, but he went to USC He's like the 237 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: new Paula Mallo with the hair. Do you know what 238 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking about? Its fung right, whatever his name is Yeah. 239 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: But that guy had a great game and he just 240 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: read Stafford on that one interception. What when the Rams 241 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: were driving to maybe tie the game? Uh, and it 242 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: was a pick six gogo on the other way. But 243 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: that's the reason I can't come down on Stafford. You 244 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: have a bad game in a in a primetime affair 245 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: a k A. Kirk Cousins two weeks ago, and it's 246 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: the floodgates are open. Your horse shit use the worst 247 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: quarterback evert like, not just you. That's I think the 248 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: general public. That's what the impression is. Now, if Matt 249 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: Stafford had this kind of game on a one pm 250 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: red zone window, he's not getting filetid the way he's 251 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: gonna be today. He's getting cooked today. And again I'm 252 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: not putting this on him. I'm not putting it on McVeigh. 253 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: I just think that strategy that they rode where they're 254 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: super top heavy, we're gonna pay Jalen. By the way, 255 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: did you see me called Jalen Ramsey a pile inspector 256 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: on the herd? I want to know who told you that, 257 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: because I haven't heard that slogan. No, no, we told 258 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: me that. I just I just tossed that and apparently 259 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: some Rams fans got very upset and kept tagging Jalen 260 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: Ramsey all day. So I'm getting they're tagging Ramsey tagging me. 261 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: I don't. I just ignore it all. So of course 262 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel catches that path and Jaylon Ramsey comes up 263 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: the tackle him. He was like a tackling dummy. He 264 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: just Deebo ran right through him. And it was funny 265 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: because I guess a lot of people happen to see 266 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: the pilot inspector comment, which is a little disrespectful. We 267 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: know Jalen Ramsey's an All Pro, He's a great cornerback. 268 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: Pile Inspector is a little hardstats reserved for like the 269 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: Antonio cro Martin's of the world, who legitimately didn't want 270 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: any smoke of tackling anyone. Um. But Deebo Samuel is 271 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: like a tank coming at you. He's not like Justin 272 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: Jefferson or Cooper Cup. Deebo is like to what he's 273 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: like any He's just fat. I mean, he's just like 274 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: the perfect football player that you don't want to have 275 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: to tackle. And Ramsey got run over. But you the 276 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: Rams are paying Ramsey, They're paying Donald, they're paying Cooper Cup, 277 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: and they're paying Stafford. I think there's one other guy 278 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: they're paying, right or is it just Allen Robinson? My gosh. 279 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: So when you're just paying five dudes and you're just 280 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: trying to get by on the margins everywhere else, your 281 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: margin for error is super thin. You can't have your 282 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: center go down for six weeks because good luck finding 283 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: a backup center with no money and no draft picks 284 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: because you gave them all away. Good luck finding a 285 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: replay sit on the offensive line, say at right guard, 286 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: when you have no picks and you spend all your 287 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: money on like five guys, and when Allen Robinson is 288 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: as bad as he and and rob I don't know 289 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: what on earth the deal is. At some point McVeigh 290 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: is going to have to answer some questions. But like, 291 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: what's going on with this guy? It's like, I know 292 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: that he's a pro when he's making tons of money. 293 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: He's got money falling out of his pockets as he's 294 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: running these routes or should I say jogging these routes. 295 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: But the guy had two catches for seven yards. I 296 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: mean they're paying him like he's the number one receiver. 297 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: They're paying to replace Odell Beckham. Now, last year, if 298 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: memory serves, they had Robert Woods and he got hurt. 299 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, they gotta replace him, and then 300 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: they add Odell Beckham, but that was like late in 301 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: the season. What are they gonna do now? I mean, honestly, 302 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: look at the distribution of targets. Stafford through forty eight passes, 303 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: Cooper cup nineteen, Tyler Haibee fourteen, and they're all short 304 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: because the offensive line can't protect. So Cooper caught fourteen 305 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: for an eight average of eight point seven yards per reception. 306 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: Eight Tyler Higbee for seventy three seven point three yards 307 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: to catch. That's like Mickey Mouse stuff. That's because they're 308 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: dinking and dunking because the line can't protect. Ben Scronick. 309 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: That's the kid with like the curly white hair. He's 310 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: like the new West Welker Julian Edelman, white slot receiver guy, 311 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: and he got hurt, so he only had three targets. 312 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: Darrell Henderson the running back for Blanton one, Cam Akers one, 313 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: and then Allen Robinson six. It's like, we're just gonna 314 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: force feed these two dudes at something. Do you know 315 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: the margin for er if Cooper Cup goes down, this 316 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: is like a five win team. That that that like 317 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: the offense is that bad right now? And you know, 318 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: I know that we we want to think that Cam 319 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: Akers is explosive eight carries thirteen yards. Like listen, I 320 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: know this is a good Niners defense, and I'm not 321 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: I know, I'm not really bashing Jimmy Garoppolo, but robbed 322 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: the big storyline for the Niners coming in. Hey, no, 323 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: Trent Williams, Well, that's gonna wreck the offense. You want 324 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: to guess how many times Jimmy Garoppolo was sacked? Uh? 325 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: Three zero? They didn't drop him once, Like, you're missing 326 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: one of the best left tackles in the league. And they, 327 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: according to this box score, Aaron Donald with the only 328 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: quarterback hit one. This is the didn't they slipped to 329 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: their third string left tackle during the game. Oh that's right. Yeah, 330 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: that's because the backup the trunk got hurt. That's right, 331 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: good point, and they were still not able to do 332 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: any damage one quarterback hit. Meanwhile, the Niners, taking advantage 333 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: of a really bad Rams offensive line, had eleven quarterback hits. 334 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: Stafford got hit five times by Bosa. Bosa had two 335 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: sacks team is kind of nasty. So Rob, yesterday we 336 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: briefly talked tears, and I think we're in agreement. Chiefs, Bills, 337 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: Eagles are the top three teams in the league, the 338 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: next tier like and again, this would be the equivalent 339 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: of the upper middle class if you're asking me, I 340 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: don't know that Miami's in there because of the to 341 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: A situation. I want to make a case for the Jets, 342 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: just kidding. No, the Ravens. I want to put there 343 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: there those on the low end. The Ravens should be there, 344 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: but man, they've gotten unlucky twice and they have a 345 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: lot of injuries. Uh, nobody from the a f C South. Sorry, 346 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: Jack's um. I want to put the Chargers there, but no, 347 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: I can't. No, you can't lay an egg at home 348 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville and lose by and consider upper middle class. 349 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't work like that. Denver certainly not. I don't 350 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: think Dallas certainly not. The Giants. I don't know that 351 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: the Vikings are. I'm gonna put the Packers there reluctantly. 352 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: I know people are gonna push back. Coward will but 353 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: my head off if you heard that. Um So, basically 354 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: it's Tampa San fran and the Packers for me, are 355 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: the Rams in there for you? I mean, it's hard 356 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: to say that right now that they haven't looked good 357 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: in any of their games. I mean even the wins 358 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: against Atlanta, they almost fumbled that one away, and um, 359 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: the one against Arizona. I mean, we think we've seen 360 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: the Arizona's two and two. They're pretty bad. They're pretty horrible, 361 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: you know. I mean they needed a miraculous come back 362 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: to beat my Raiders, and you know, my Raiders are 363 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: not a good team right now. So no, I don't 364 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: think that the Rams could be considered it tier two 365 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: team at this point in so this is the the 366 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: parody that the NFL wants. Basically, six very good to 367 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: elite teams, a bunch of middle class and then after 368 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: that it's like, okay, well if they if things break right, yeah, 369 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: you gotta shot at the playoffs. That's how it is 370 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: for like, I don't know, twenty four teams. Maybe, I mean, hell, 371 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: the New York Giants are garbage. They can't move the football, 372 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: they cannot do anything. They're not competent, and they might 373 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: be a playoff team. I don't know. That's the This 374 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: is why the NFL is so great. By the way, 375 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: we didn't go too much into the lines. It's unclear 376 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: if Daniel Jones is UM, it's gonna be a quarterback. 377 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: Kira Taylor had the concussion. And I don't know if 378 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: you noticed, but given the to a situation, a couple 379 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: of guys got concussions, they didn't go back in the 380 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: game Sunday. There's no more of this. Oh yeah, let's 381 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: getting back out there because of the two things. I 382 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a direct correlation, but anybody that 383 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: was even close, it seemed like they held him out 384 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: and just precautionary like, okay, stay out, don't go back in. 385 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: At least that was that was what I got looking 386 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: around the league. UM, so the Packers are gonna probably 387 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: get another win against the Giants. UM. Buffalo is favored 388 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: by two touchdowns. We briefly touched on that. Tampa is 389 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: a big favorite. They're getting healthier. They usually smack around Atlanta. 390 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 1: But we'll see what the Falcons. UM. I think the 391 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: Vikings show you go out and blow out the Bears. 392 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: Show me something, you know, blowing out teams says a lot. 393 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: Rob It's tough to blow people out in this league, 394 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 1: right right, we know, we know the margins are thin. 395 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: This is a league where one or two plays swings 396 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: entire games and millions of dollars. So the really good 397 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: teams blow people out. I want to see the Vikings 398 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: beat down the Bears. They should be able to write. 399 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: If you can kill the Packers at home in the 400 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: opener and they just suffocated the Packers, why can't you 401 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: kill the Bears, you should be able to right, So, 402 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: Philadelphia big ish favorites. Five and a half is a 403 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: big number to lay on the road. Arizona. You're gonna 404 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna put it to him. You're gonna make sure 405 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: that you stay claimed that. Hey, we're the Eagles. We 406 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: want the number one seed like this is not an 407 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: easy spot for for the for the Eagles. After that 408 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: win in the in the slot, um, I think the 409 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: game of the week though, might be Cincinnati Baltimore because 410 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people are under this impression that one 411 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: of these two teams is winning the division. But rob, 412 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: you know what I secretly want to happen. Everybody in 413 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: the division sputters and Deshaun Watson comes back and It's like, 414 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: can he lead them to the to the I mean 415 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: honestly that that Isn't that the kind of drama we 416 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: need in November? And it's like World Cup, College football, NBA. 417 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: I think that would make my job super easy. And 418 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: that was the case. Fox Sports Radio has the best 419 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: sports talk lineup in the nation.

Well, 422 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean the Lakers are now playing 423 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: preseason games that I've got people tweeting at me about 424 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers preseason Gale. I was like, I didn't know 425 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: they were playing. I'm assuming you watched every second of 426 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: it last night. I watched the entire first half. How 427 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: did my man Kendrick Nunn look? I heard he actually 428 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: played in the Lakers uniform. Kendrick Nunn looks solid. Really Actually, 429 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: I was shook it to see him now on the court. 430 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: I was not expecting to see. I thought he was 431 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: like a myth at this point. Since since I didn't watch, 432 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: and you did give us a quick breakdown, how did 433 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: the new kid um Lonnie Walker look? Lonnie Walker did 434 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: not play nursing an ankle injury. Those preseason gonna Oh 435 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: my gosh, wait, is that the Lakers lost by thirty? 436 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: They did? I mean the first string didn't play in 437 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: this second half. I mean Kendrick Nunn got some minutes 438 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: late because you know, Dennis Shrewder. I think it still 439 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: Overseas Westbrook didn't play until they needed him to get 440 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: some reps handling the ball, and he looked good. Hold on, 441 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know that in the preseason you can play 442 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: fifty guys. It looks like the Sacramento Kings brought people. Yeah, 443 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: I think the Lakers have twenty people right now to 444 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Keegan Murray had a big game. Huh, 445 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: Kegan Murray. I mean kudos to the Sacramento Kings front 446 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: office who were taking arrows on Draft night when they 447 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: took Keegan Murray rather than the kid who went to 448 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: the Pistons. And he looks like a star. Yeah, I listened. 449 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: That was I think rookie of the year. I might 450 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: have bet him back in June sixteen and six twenty 451 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: one minutes. Nice Rob, I gotta give you a shout 452 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: out so you not only watch Monday night football, but 453 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: the Lakers preseason game Lebron went over seven, was that 454 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: he was rough night for the King. But you know what, 455 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: as much as it was nice to see the Lakers 456 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: out there, you know, Russell Westbrook looked calm in the 457 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: darven Ham system so far. You know, early returns are solid. 458 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: Only one turnover in the preseason game that I was 459 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: locked into. Now it's at the studio, which is probably 460 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: not good to admit because it should have been locked 461 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: in the radio show. But I was locked into the 462 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets because Ben Simmons made his triumphant return to 463 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: impressed you watched NBA preseason, I did, and two things 464 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: to take away. Number one, Ben Simmons looked a little 465 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: bulky look, maybe like he spent too much time in 466 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: the gym because he's been away from basketball for so long. 467 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: And number two, I'm going to start this uh hashtag 468 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 1: going maybe in the next couple of days, but it's 469 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: gonna be season long. Hashtag bad vibes only in Brooklyn 470 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: because that team looks like they are ready to combust 471 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: in the first preseason already. Just just look at their 472 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: body language. They none of the guys look happy. Okay, 473 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to is this available on YouTube. I 474 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: guess I'm gonna have to check out. I mean, Ben 475 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: Simmons got booed at the free throw line in the 476 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: preseason game. Now, granted they were playing Philadelphia. They was 477 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: at home, but they were playing Philly, and you know, 478 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: Philly is not that far away from Brooklyn, so it's 479 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: possible those were Sixer fans. But the fact that happened 480 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: on his home floor, I'm just gonna choose to believe 481 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: that it was Brooklyn fans. So again, hashtag bad vibes 482 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: only in Brooklyn. This leads the Kyrie Irving going on 483 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: the sabbatical probably early December, which means he's a Laker 484 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: before the trade deadline. What if he's a Laker? Take 485 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: a guy, What if Kyrie Irving went us sabbatical with 486 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers? Would the sports world spontaneously combust? Probably ayahuasca, 487 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving Aaron Rodgers. I mean, come on, that's kind 488 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: of special. And you know, Aaron Rodgers would still make 489 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: time to do a Pat McAfee in the show interview 490 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: off that. Yeah, he would tell you exactly what happened. 491 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: He would call him from a tpe in the desert 492 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: sweating what are those sweat boxes?
