And I apologize if I'm not even saying 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: this young man's name, correctly, is it, Jude mccadamny, Is 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: that how we're doing this? Jude mccadamney, You hadn't heard 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: of him when we woke up today. 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: I hadn't heard of him when we woke up today. 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: It turns out he had a major, major effect on 30 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: the NFL. 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: On this particular Sunday. 32 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: You and I both gave some preseason love to the 33 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. 34 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: Used to play for this football team, and they are 35 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: now five and two. 36 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: And they are three and zero at home, and they 37 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: are in first place in the AFC West, which is 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: where you and I predicted them to be. The Chiefs 39 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: look like they're on the come. But for right now, 40 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos are holding down the AFC West. But 41 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: let's be real, they shouldn't be. They shouldn't be, at 42 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: least at this hour. They got beats six ways to 43 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: Sunday in this football game. But then, are you ready? 44 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: I've never seen this before. I don't know if it's 45 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: ever happened before. Our guys could tell us thirty three 46 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter alone, thirty three point The 47 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 2: Denver Broncos were losing this football game nineteen to nothing 48 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 2: to start the fourth quarter and they won thirty three 49 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: to thirty two. Explain this to me. I can't explain it. 50 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: But the reason I bring up Jude mccadamny, if that's 51 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: his name, he's going to have a long day on 52 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: New York Sports Radio tomorrow because he missed two extra 53 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: points and the second one allowed a thirty should be 54 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: thirty three to thirty game be a thirty two to 55 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: thirty game, and that allowed bow Knicks and Courtland Sutton 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: in the Denver Broncos to go down the field and 57 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: kick the game winner to end it. And here's my 58 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: question to you, especially with everything that you have said 59 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: about kickers so far this year, are do we want 60 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: them having this much of an effect on the outcome 61 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: of football games? 62 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: Do you like. 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 3: That as part of the game. 64 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: It is, it always has been. It's not going to change. 65 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: I get it. 66 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: So you that's like saying we should just get rid 67 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: of special teams. Well, every time the ball should be 68 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: placed at the twenty five yard line. If you they're 69 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 3: an no punts, you got to go for it every 70 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: fourth down. We're trending that way anyway. 71 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: See yeah, well right, And I'm not into that, but 72 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: The reason I ask is because, like you've literally detailed 73 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: for me this year, how y'all don't even look at 74 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: these guys as your teammates. 75 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: No, not especially not today, right, and and so we're 76 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: not going to change this today. 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm not even proposing that we do. 78 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: But it's just a head scratcher that this person who's 79 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: a hired gun and not seen as a teammate just 80 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: walks out onto the field and either has a profound 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: positive or profound negative effect on the outcome of the 82 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: game when they have nothing to do with the week's 83 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: game plan. 84 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: Not all. 85 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: Now, let me be clear when I say they're not 86 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: part of the team. I'm being extremely facetious. Now, obviously 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: they're part of the team, but we don't see them 88 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: like we see other positions. Yep, right, there's not a 89 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: bunch of guys getting together and going to hang out 90 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: at the kickers house. They're not coming to our offensive 91 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: dinners or the defensive defensive dinners that happen every Thursday 92 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: by position are by entire squad. They're in their own 93 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: little bubble. They don't practice like we do in training camp, 94 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 3: they don't meet like we do. It's just that's what 95 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: separates them. So when I'm saying they're not part of 96 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 3: the team, they don't have to go through what we 97 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: have to go through. Right. They may have four plays 98 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: a game, are none sometimes nan while we have offensively 99 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 3: anywhere between forty five and sixty defensively the same way. 100 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 3: And so when it's just your job to do this 101 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: one thing and you struggle doing that, yet don't come 102 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 3: over here like we cool, like, oh, I'm with you, guys. No, 103 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: And so that's why I'm always saying, look, they're not 104 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: even they not with us like that, right, And anytime 105 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 3: we're at home and my wife's like, is he gonna 106 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: make it? 107 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: Is he not? 108 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: Or you ask me is he gonna make it? I'm like, hey, 109 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 3: either you own the team or you not. Either you 110 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: with us or you're not. 111 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: And Jude. 112 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: Academy is not what it boils down to, is. Yes, 113 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 3: shame on the Giants defense for giving up thirty three points. 114 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: Shame on them. Yeah, shame on them. But offensively, you 115 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: score thirty two points essentially thirty four without the two 116 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: mixed missed extra points, you should win a football game. Now, 117 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: defense has a large part to deal with that, But no, bro, 118 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: we put you in position we score, give us the point, 119 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: all right? They should just make it all two point 120 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 3: conversions and yeah, no more extra points. Is just Phiel 121 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: goals and two point conversions. 122 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 2: I mean, my mind actually also goes to since the 123 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 2: last time we talked, the story that unfolded on Monday 124 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: night when Jake Moody, once upon a time jettison from 125 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine Ers, a recent third round 126 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: pick from three years ago who could not he could 127 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: not kick, He could not kick the ball straight ever since, 128 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 2: basically two seasons ago, and he walked out made the team, 129 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: to the chagrin of many forty nine er fans, made 130 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: the team and then walked out there on opening weekend 131 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: against the Seattle Seahawks and for his first kick of 132 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: the year, bong from thirty to thirty three yards out 133 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: or whatever it was, and it was like, all. 134 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: Right, you don't get to be on the forty nine 135 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: ers anymore. 136 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: Well, he resurfaces on the Bears practice squad and then 137 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: the next thing you know, Cairo Santos is hurt and 138 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: here's Jake Moody kicking four field goals, some from almost 139 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: fifty yards out with regularity. Through the rain in our 140 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: nation's capital for the Bears, and he's like the player. 141 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: Of the game. 142 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: And so they're interviewing him after the game and he 143 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: keeps his helmet on like he's Ricky Williams or something, 144 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 2: and he keeps his helmet on and he's talking about 145 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: how like I really just appreciate being accepted here by 146 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: my teammates.

I guess this 150 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: is my this is what I'm trying to say. We're here, 151 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: we can't leave here. But I don't think when we 152 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: put football together, I don't think. 153 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: That this is what we meant. 154 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: Especially now these dudes are booting the fifty five and 155 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: sixty yarders with regularity. This new kickoff rule. Maybe twelve 156 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: seconds left in the game, it's a kickoff boop. We're 157 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 2: in field goal rage, and so like the kicker has 158 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: become even more important this year. 159 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: I think, Bro, that game was nuts. 160 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: You're talking about the Monday nighter. 161 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 3: This Giant Giants, crazy, crazy, sixty five points in the game. 162 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: Nineteen were scored in the first three quarters. Sixty five points. 163 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 3: This is that's ridiculous. Nothing is. So I've been a 164 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 3: part of a game like this and it's not a 165 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: record because we didn't win. When I was with Houston, 166 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: we played against the Tennessee Titans when they had Kyle 167 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 3: Van den Bosch and Albert Haynesworth and that defense. Jim 168 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 3: Schwartz was a defensive coordinator. We scored twenty nine point 169 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 3: I think it was seven. We scored twenty nine points 170 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter to take 171 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 3: a two point lead with fifty six left seconds left 172 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: in the game. They came out three passes later kicked 173 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 3: the field goal. We lose by one. Like I know 174 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: what that yep. I have literally been pass blocking the 175 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: entire game with all against two all Pro defensive players, 176 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 3: and you do all of that and the defense gives 177 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: up three completions and a field goal and you lose. 178 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: And so I know what that feels like. I know 179 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 3: what the Giants are feeling like, Like that would have 180 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 3: been a record for points in the fourth quarter. Nobody 181 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 3: cares because we lost. Ye shout out to the Broncos 182 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: for sticking with it.

The Niners and the Falcons 286 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: are underway. Fred Warner and Nick Bosa are both gone 287 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: for the year. Boy, I am curious to see how 288 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: and who on this defense for the forty nine ers 289 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 2: is able to stop another NFL team, especially this one. 290 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, this team is a running machine. Bjon Rondo, Bjen Rondo. 291 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: Always got NBA, I got days, Lakers Warriors. 292 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: Today there we get there two days. I cannot wait. 293 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: Let's go. 294 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 3: But look, Atlanta has come out and and just been different. 295 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 3: They got a bunch of young guns with London. Even 296 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts has showed up right, Even Michael Pennix is 297 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 3: running the show, and no one can stop Bejon. It's 298 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: it's that's the best back in the game right now, today, 299 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 3: right now. Yes, because he can do everything. He can 300 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 3: do everything. 301 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm with you. 302 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 2: The run game is where my mind is today as well, 303 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: because the forty nine ers, with Kyle Shanahan as their 304 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 2: coach and Christian McCaffrey healthy, have the worst run game 305 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: in the NFL by statistics, and that's unthinkable. 306 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: Now. There are many many reasons for that. 307 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: I don't think many of them are Christian McCaffrey, to 308 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 2: be honest with you, What I do think is that 309 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: this league still doesn't fully understand or realize how much 310 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 2: much of an all around player George Kittle is and 311 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: I think he affects the run game greatly. And so 312 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 2: my hope, slash prediction is that you're going to see 313 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 2: this forty nine er run game break out to a 314 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: certain degree and look a little bit more effective tonight 315 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 2: because George kill is back. 316 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, not just in the run game, but you 317 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 3: have to realize he's one of the best pass catching 318 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 3: tight ends on the planet Earth and has been. And 319 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 3: I'm not just talking about his blocking. I'm talking about 320 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 3: his abilities to get open similar to what Travis Kelsey 321 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: is for Patrick Mahomes. He has an innate ability to 322 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: just be there and you're like, well, who everyone knows 323 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 3: where the ball is going, but he can uncover and 324 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: he can make himself available. They get Juwan Jennings back, 325 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 3: they got Kendrick Born again catch everything out there. And 326 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 3: mac Jones is putting up three under yard games like 327 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 3: he's putting up three under yard games, and so they 328 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 3: not to mention Christian McCaffrey. So they have a fighting 329 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 3: chance here with a hot Atlanta team and you know, 330 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan as they give up a sect the first place. Sorry, 331 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 3: that offensive line is another story. They're gonna have to 332 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 3: protect Mac Jones. They're gonna have to get the ball 333 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 3: off early. I hate starting games with passes. That's just me. 334 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just me. Yeah, sixes. 335 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 3: I don't like five steps, seven step drops. And let 336 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 3: me explain this to people, because you put your offensive line, 337 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 3: your offensive lineman and in a position of being passive 338 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 3: and not aggressive. If you want to win the line 339 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: of scrimmage, you need to be aggressive. I want to 340 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: go forward, I want to attack past. Blocking for us 341 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 3: is retreating and waiting, and so for me as a 342 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 3: left tackle. I want to inflict the pain. I want 343 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 3: to get my hands on your head, but you let 344 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 3: you know it's gonna be a long day. Kind of 345 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 3: knock a little snot bubble out, make you bite your 346 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 3: tongue or something like that, just to set the tone 347 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 3: and set my pads. Opposed to a five seven step drop, 348 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: I used to hate looking at the first fifteen, which 349 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 3: is what we go over script the script the night 350 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 3: before the game. The first thing I'm doing is looking 351 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 3: at the first play. If it's a seventh step drop, 352 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, here we go. Yeah, And offensive coordinators 353 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 3: don't care. They're just looking at Okay, well they are 354 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 3: not good at dB, so we're gonna attack them. Opposed 355 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: to let's set the tone and the tempo. That's my 356 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 3: whole thing, Like I want to be the one to 357 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: set the tempo and set the tone moving forward. So 358 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 3: they've picked up the first down and moving the change, 359 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 3: but let's just hand the ball up, you can't. 360 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 2: They ran it on second and thirteen, got eight yards 361 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: and then a little past to McCaffrey there on third 362 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 2: down moves the change. So they do what the Falcons 363 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 2: couldn't and uh, and they're able to get a first down. 364 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: The Falcons went three and out and then now you 365 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 2: are going to get like early returns. This is stupid 366 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: to say, like what kind of a sample size is this? 367 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: But the next play was not McCaffrey. It was Brian Robinson. 368 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 2: He ran it for nine yards and just let me 369 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: tell you something he from And you know this, but 370 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 2: a lot of our audience may not because you don't 371 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 2: watch every team every week. The Niners have not been 372 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 2: able to get chunk plays first down in the run. 373 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: Game at all. 374 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 2: I mean like in the most head scratching, frustrating way possible. 375 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 2: Second in short has been basically like found treasure in 376 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 2: the ocean, like you cannot They have none of these 377 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 2: and so the early returns as they they're running the ball. 378 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, George Kittle has an unbelievable effect on 379 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 2: the run game. And you can call it a homer 380 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: take all you want. It's why I believe he's the 381 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 2: best tight end of his generation. I believe he's one 382 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: of the best to ever do it. Apologies to Travis Kelce, 383 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: who is a much better receiver than just about anyone 384 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 2: outside of Tony Gonzales and Antonio Gates. But when it 385 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: comes to being both a receiver and having a very, 386 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: very profound blocking effect in the run game, George Kittle 387 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: is right there with the likes of the Rob Gronkowskis 388 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 2: and the Shannon Sharps. Historically, go ahead, go ahead, talk 389 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: to well, Okay, yeah, no, that's fair. 390 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 3: I mean, and I'm talking about experience. We'll be in 391 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: the huddle and we'll have a double team and he'd 392 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 3: be like, hey, I'm only gonna get you a little bit, 393 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 3: and I'm out there and I'm like, hey, man, where 394 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 3: are you going? It's a run? 395 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 2: See, like this mistake that I just made is this 396 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 2: is this is what I'm talking about. 397 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: We watch football and a lot of us you don't know. 398 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 2: You don't know because we they're five coachers ninety yards 399 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: that's it. 400 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: Fantasy team. Did he get in the end zone? 401 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: And you don't know amongst the tight end greats always 402 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 2: who's a great blocker? 403 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 3: Now block? 404 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: But he was there for right and same with Travis Kelcey, 405 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 2: Same with Travis Kelcey. Antonio Gates never we he didn't 406 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: want look, he didn't want to look at anybody. These 407 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 2: are great receivers, but you are not George Kittle and Gronk. 408 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: Gronk was a very good blocker. I believe that Witton 409 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 2: was like pretty. 410 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 3: Good, Yeah, pretty good, but like they would dominate. 411 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: That's separate to me, got separate and they. 412 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: Could they could block a d n on on on 413 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 3: a pass play. That yes, single up a defense. It's 414 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 3: a it's a heck of a weapon a half and 415 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 3: to use because there aren't many dbs or uh safeties 416 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 3: are linebackers that can cover them one on one? 417 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: Right, It's so I like, I see the Niner run 418 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: game having a better night. We'll see, we will see 419 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: as they are now facing a fourth and long just 420 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: across midfield. 421 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: So two teams feeling each other out. 422 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: You talk about having a weapon, though I don't know 423 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: that any NFL team has a weapon like Martin Wiss. 424 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. 425 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if you feel that some of those 426 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: teams do we do? 427 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 3: We do?

One of the more epic 482 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: individual performances we've ever seen, And there's a cat in 483 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: the restaurant with a big Dodger jersey on right in 484 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 2: the middle of San Francisco Baharia, and he and his 485 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 2: dad are chanting and having a fun But what the 486 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 2: kid approaches me and apparently he listens to the show, 487 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: so he's like, Hey, how's this feel for Giants fans? 488 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: And I'm like, I was straight with him. I'm like, 489 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: I'm about a couple drinks. This feels like crap, is 490 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 2: how it feels like it's not fun? But then we 491 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 2: got into the conversation with the bigger picture, with what 492 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 2: the Dodgers are doing, and he was upset because he's like, 493 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 2: I get tired of people talking about buying a championship, 494 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 2: because how is this different than what the Yankees used 495 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 2: to do when they were on a. 496 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 3: Dynastic Are the Mets have been trying to do anybody else? 497 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 7: So? 498 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: Is that sour grapes? No question. 499 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 2: I did have two thoughts though, that I wanted to 500 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: run by you one to compare it to the Yankees, 501 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 2: which was largely built the Jeters, the Posadas, the the Petits. 502 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: One thing, I think that that does. 503 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: Sort of make people from the outside look at the 504 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 2: Dodgers team and you realize, like almost none of them 505 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 2: were Dodger farm hands. 506 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: You got like Will Smith, but. 507 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 2: Like even with Kershaw being phased out, the whole pitching 508 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: staff is free agents from show Hey Yamamoto, Max Munci, 509 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 2: Freddie Freman, Mookie Bets. And I think that that gives 510 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: it a certain vibe to other people. And then the 511 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: second part of it from is just timing. It's timing 512 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 2: of the fact that there is going there. There is 513 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: so much disagreement on the labor front, and the haves 514 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: and the have nots is sort of a bigger It's 515 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 2: a bigger deal. I mean, Pittsburgh's over here like, yeah, 516 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 2: we should probably trade Paul Skins and You're like what, 517 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: and and so I just I wonder, I wonder about 518 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 2: the timing, especially if they steer rolled through this. And 519 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: Jeff Passing did say last week is like, if the 520 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 2: Dodgers win the World Series, it literally might open up 521 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 2: the door to a salary cap I'm curious. 522 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: No, because all of the other examples you've given didn't 523 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 3: lead to that. Look at the Mets, look at their payroll. 524 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 3: They didn't even make the playoffs. Sure, so you still 525 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 3: have to be able to You can go out and 526 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 3: get talent, but you still got to put it together, 527 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 3: no doubt, you still. 528 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: Have to. 529 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 3: Look and even where would you start with the salary cap? 530 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 3: And then you have teams you'd have to put a 531 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 3: ceiling in the floor in because you still have teams 532 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 3: spending the bare minimum. 533 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: That to me, that's how That's the only way you 534 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: could even conceivably get it done, would be to offer 535 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 2: the players union a salary floor as well. 536 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: Right, Like, if anybody's mad at the Dodgers, like the 537 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: A's are way more offensive than the. 538 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 3: Dodgers a mile. Yeah, like the Dodgers. 539 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: I mean, let's be real, Yeah, Dodgers have done a 540 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 2: great job of taking advantage of what is in front 541 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 2: of them, and you can argue with what is in 542 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 2: front of them. I don't think the public actually knew 543 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: you could defer this much money. 544 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: I don't think we knew that, And. 545 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: Now that you do, I'm sort of mad at all 546 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: the other teams for not doing it, not mad at 547 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 2: the Dodgers for doing it, But I also have questions 548 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 2: about whether or not that should be allowed. Should that 549 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 2: be the way I you know, I think that's a 550 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: fair question. 551 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 3: Guess what the Dodgers have made baseball more watchable beyond exciting? Yeah, 552 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 3: other teams. 553 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: Although you say that, but you say that as a 554 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: Dodger fan. 555 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 3: No, but even if I wasn't a Dodger. But I 556 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: would even if I wasn't a Dodger fan, right, Like, 557 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: I can watch a game like I'm watching this game now, 558 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 3: game recognized game. I watched the Yankees, I've watched the 559 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 3: Padres like I. You recognize greatness when you see it. Yep, 560 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 3: no matter where it comes from, no matter what team 561 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 3: is exhibiting it. And so on the flip side of 562 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 3: what the Dodgers have put together, you have teams like 563 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 3: the A's, You have teams like the White Sox. You 564 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 3: have teams that just are there. What's the point. Isn't 565 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 3: sports supposed to be exciting? Isn't it supposed, especially when 566 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 3: you have a system in place where the excitement doesn't 567 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 3: come from the draft. Right. What basketball and football have 568 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 3: is the excitement of the draft because we get to 569 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 3: see those players today. 570 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: Right, you can have. 571 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 3: A first pick in the draft or a first rounder 572 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 3: in baseball and we won't see them for five years exactly. 573 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 2: But you also, if ever, but when you said what 574 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: do baseball what do they not have that football and 575 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 2: basketball have? There's also another answer to that question, and 576 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: it is at least some form of a soft cap. 577 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 3: I get that. 578 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: And in football it's a hard cap. 579 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 2: And that creates that It creates where Green Bay, Wisconsin 580 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 2: can compete with New York and LA and that like, 581 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 2: that's that is a thing. 582 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: Also, that's a thing. 583 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 3: So then owners need to be more creative. For sure, 584 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 3: they need to bring in more partners. They need to 585 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 3: be more creative. That's legitimately what needs to happen. Look 586 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 3: what the Lakers just did, right. The Lakers have been 587 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 3: the Lakers forever, They've been in the Bus family forever. 588 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 3: They were just sold for eleven million dollars or ten 589 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 3: million dollars. 590 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, billion. 591 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 3: So excuse me, ten billion dollars. 592 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: I was like, I'll buy it, right because million. 593 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 3: And guess what's gonna happen with the Lakers Now? Things 594 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: are going to change sure. 595 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 2: Sure, but that's another team that has every resource in 596 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 2: the world. 597 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 3: I think what we're looking they really have it now. 598 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're looking for a balance between the owner that 599 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: hides behind. 600 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: I have no resources, even though you do. 601 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 2: But then the realistic nature of the fact that there 602 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 2: are some teams in cities that do have more resources, 603 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 2: access to free agents, et cetera, great weather, good stability. 604 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 2: There's resources there that not all teams have. I'd love 605 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 2: to find the balance. Yeah, to me, salary cop salary floor, 606 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 2: that's the answer. I don't know that we're going to 607 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 2: get there anytime soon, but anyway, Yeah, we keep talking 608 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 2: that out also, So back to the NFL, we'll keep 609 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 2: you up to date here on Sunday night.

We've also got 624 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 2: three things coming up at the top of the hour, 625 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 2: our top three observations of the day. 626 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, he from. 627 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 2: I got a lot of stuff sitting on my cutting 628 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 2: room floor here today. 629 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: I had to whittled down to only get to three out. 630 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 2: There's so much you can dive into it, right, my goodness, 631 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 2: so much. Let me ask you this one though, is 632 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 2: Drake May the next big thing? 633 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,439 Speaker 3: I think Drake May is outstanding, But I think Drake 634 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 3: May with Mike Vrabel is the next big thing. That's 635 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 3: what I think, because we've seen Drake May without Mike Craig. 636 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 3: But he was a rookie, yes, But what I'm saying 637 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 3: is he looks different. Sure, and that's it. That's a 638 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 3: real thing, right, That's a real thing. Remember Josh Allen 639 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 3: his rookie year. 640 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was all over the place. 641 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 3: And then remember he wasn't Yep, Like that's a real 642 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 3: tangible thing. And the reason he wasn't wasn't because of 643 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 3: Brian day Ball. That's what got him a head coaching job. 644 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 3: But what he did for Josh Allen, who had the talent, 645 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 3: had the same arm strength, had the same physicality, is 646 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 3: he created a safe environment for him to grow. Now 647 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 3: he went from like fifty six percent completion to seventy 648 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,720 Speaker 3: or seventy one, something crazy, someone had never done before. 649 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 3: And it matters. Coaching matters. That relationship matters. 650 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: Now. 651 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 3: Brian day Ball wasn't the head coach, but that relationship 652 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 3: he had with him matters. And when I watched Drake 653 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,720 Speaker 3: May at New England, which was has been a dumpster fire. 654 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 3: And I see what Mike rabel has done in that 655 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 3: locker room on that team with Drake May, I'm yeah, 656 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 3: them two together, yes, absolutely go to remember this is 657 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 3: the first time Mike Rabels ever had a quarterback of 658 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 3: this caliber. 659 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: Yep. 660 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 2: Ever, the Patriots are five and two, they are four 661 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 2: and oh on the road this year, Drake May had 662 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 2: two in completions today. 663 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:18,439 Speaker 1: Two. 664 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 2: He set a record, in fact, all time New England 665 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 2: Patriots record for completion percentage in a football game. I 666 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 2: don't know if any of you have heard of any 667 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 2: other quarterbacks who played for the Patriots through the years, 668 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 2: but none of them ever did what Drake may did today. 669 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 2: Twenty one of twenty three, he did not turn the 670 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 2: ball over, goes for two hundred and twenty two yards, 671 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 2: two scores. Drake May also rushes for sixty two yards. 672 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 2: And I think what you're saying, man, I mean, that's 673 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 2: an extension of the point we've been talking. 674 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: About all year long. 675 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 2: This year, to me, is the poster season for people 676 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 2: to really understand the import It's not just of coaching. 677 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: But the program. 678 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 2: Look at all the quarterbacks around the league who are 679 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 2: doing well, and you can attribute it to a different program, 680 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 2: whether it be Mac Jones subbing in here in San Francisco, 681 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 2: whether it be what you're seeing Daniel Jones do rebirthed 682 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 2: in in Indianapolis. We've talked so much about Baker Mayfield 683 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 2: being in the the MVP race. So many guys around 684 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 2: the league who have kind of been kicked to the 685 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 2: curb by teams are suddenly looking good this year. 686 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: And it's because of what you're talking about in that program. 687 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's stability, man Like, when when you're not 688 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 3: worried about there's a fire outside, and you could just 689 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,280 Speaker 3: focus on you and getting better. It makes a huge difference. 690 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 3: Case in point, I look and see what's going on 691 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 3: with cam Ward in Tennessee. Yeah, there's a fire outside, 692 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 3: so you're just trying to survive the flames now until 693 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 3: someone can come in there and write that ship and 694 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 3: put out that fire so he can begin to get better. 695 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 3: I mean, he's turned the ball over every single game 696 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 3: he's played in the NFL, and in some cases multiple times. 697 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 3: So there's a fire because there's there's a void there 698 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 3: and so until that fire is put out, head coach 699 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,240 Speaker 3: is gone, introim coach in there. Coordinators will be going soon. 700 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 3: It's different. Look what happened to mac Jones speaking of 701 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 3: New England. The fire was inside, not outside. 702 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: Well, they gave him a good lord. They gave him 703 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator. It's one of the funnier things that's 704 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 2: ever happened actually in recent memory of the NFL, especially 705 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 2: considering that he was part of a great program and he. 706 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: Came in as a rookie and made the playoffs. 707 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 2: All right, Coming up next, I want to get to 708 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 2: the quarterback who now has me worried about him. 709 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:11,839 Speaker 1: That's coming up. 710 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 2: Next, Falcons find their way into the red zone. 711 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: It stalls. They put up three. 712 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 2: The forty nine ers now just about to move into 713 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 2: the red zone until a tip ball gets picked off 714 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 2: and is headed. 715 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: The other way. 716 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,800 Speaker 2: So one team makes good on their red zone trip, 717 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 2: the other has just given it away. 718 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: That was not on Mac Jones. 719 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 2: That was on Juwan Jennings who bobbled the ball right 720 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 2: to a Falcon. 721 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: We'll keep you up to date on this one throughout 722 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: the night. 723 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 2: Falcons and Niners on Sunday Night Football were broadcasting live 724 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 2: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And a reminder that 725 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 2: during the baseball postseason, Strauss made history as the first 726 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 2: brand ever on the Helmets family owned since nineteen forty eight. 727 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 2: Strauss work where build to perform, smart pocket design, real 728 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,720 Speaker 2: comfort and durability you can trust, from grit to Gloria. 729 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 2: Gear up today at Strauss dot com. That's st r 730 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 2: au Ss dot com. We're gonna get to three things 731 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 2: in just a moment, our top three observations that we 732 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 2: want to talk about after a day of watching football. 733 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 2: But I want to start with your reaction just to 734 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 2: what we've seen so far in this one tonight that 735 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 2: run game for the Niners that we talked about, looks 736 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 2: like it is starting. 737 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: It's percolating a little bit. It does look better. 738 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 2: It took the Niners into scoring position just there, but 739 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 2: ball security didn't work out. 740 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like they're getting back to what made 741 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 3: them who they were. The injuries aside. You gotta put 742 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,919 Speaker 3: that pressure on opposing defenses. You gotta win the line 743 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 3: of scrimage. That's why I went on my whole little 744 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,720 Speaker 3: soliloquy at the beginning of the show of them starting 745 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 3: with the five to seven step drop passing the ball. 746 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 3: That's not what you want. Don't become something that you're not. 747 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 3: You got to backup quarterback in there, and you got 748 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 3: hurt receivers all over the place. Put the onus on 749 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 3: the guys up front. That's why it looks different. 750 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 1: Now. 751 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 3: This tip pass, of course, wasn't Matt Jones' fault. Juwan 752 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 3: Jennings let it bounce off off his hands into the 753 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 3: waiting arms of the linebacker. But what you want to 754 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 3: do is instill confidence in those guys up front and say, hey, 755 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 3: we're going to win this game if it's on you. Now, 756 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 3: Robert Salah has done a yeoman's job without you know, 757 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 3: all world players. He's putting together a great defensive is 758 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 3: now that that second drive for Atlanta was a long drive, 759 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,240 Speaker 3: but they only yielded three points. So it's the whole 760 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 3: bend and not break philosophy which works especially when you're 761 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 3: missing two dogs. Are not even too a few dogs 762 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 3: ye on the defensive side of the ball. So look, 763 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 3: it's let us be who you are, don't reinvent the will, 764 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 3: and rely on the guys that you practice with all week. 765 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 2: Even the guy who is technically filling in for Fred Warner, 766 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 2: a second year player, seventh round pick by the name 767 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 2: of Tatum Bethune. I'm not sure if he's back out 768 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 2: on the field yet, but he already left this football game. 769 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 2: I think I see him back out there, but he 770 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 2: left the football game momentarily because of a neck issue. 771 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 2: So it's a constant flow. But we'll keep an eye 772 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 2: on this one for you. 773 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 1: For sure. Off to an interesting start. 774 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 2: Three nothing for the Falcons early in the second quarter. 775 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 2: We do it at this time, six Pacific, nine in 776 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,879 Speaker 2: the East, every single Sunday night. Three Things, our top 777 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 2: three observations of the entire football week and Football Day 778 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 2: and we get to put them all out and get 779 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,800 Speaker 2: a little reaction from our partner. 780 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: So let's do it. 781 00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,360 Speaker 2: Here we go three things, and as always, you're the 782 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 2: big finish, so I'll go first. And here's the first 783 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 2: one I want to talk about. I'm worried about Jayden Daniels. 784 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,320 Speaker 2: This is, gosh, one of the more exciting rookie years 785 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 2: that we saw in a while last year for this player, 786 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 2: and we get it. He is a mobile quarterback, and 787 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 2: mobile quarterbacks are always going to be watched in terms 788 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 2: of health and how they go about it, what they're 789 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 2: doing with their body. Now, the injury today didn't necessarily 790 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,240 Speaker 2: have anything to do with him running out in open space, 791 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 2: but this is a hamstring injury. 792 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,439 Speaker 1: It doesn't look like a good one. 793 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 2: He's already missed some time this year, he missed some 794 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 2: time last year and even played hurt at times, and 795 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 2: now it certainly feels like he's going. 796 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: To miss some more time again. 797 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 2: And there's been so much made about injuries across the 798 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 2: league this year. Lamar Jackson in the midst of me 799 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 2: same time. But at a certain point you start to 800 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:08,400 Speaker 2: get curious about whether or not a player's style works 801 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,399 Speaker 2: with everything else he's doing throwing a little luck, good 802 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 2: luck or bad luck, and you wonder about the longevity 803 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,760 Speaker 2: of certain players. And I sit here right now worried 804 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 2: about Jadeen Daniel's ability to stay healthy in the NFL. 805 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. He he is a mobile of running quarterback, but 806 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 3: he's very frail, and I think that was one of 807 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 3: the big knocks coming out of college was that he's thin, 808 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 3: and he is elusive, and he can move and he 809 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 3: will get out of the way, but when he does 810 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 3: take hits, it's a lot. And coming off the knee 811 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 3: injury now into a hamstring injury, there's something to be 812 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:52,839 Speaker 3: said about overcompensation. Once you hurt something, other things work 813 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 3: a little bit harder to write that something. And it 814 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 3: could be one of those situations where he's on the 815 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,839 Speaker 3: shelf again for another two three weeks, depending on how 816 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 3: severe that is, which is awful. It's awful for the Commanders. 817 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 3: This was a game that they could have had today 818 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 3: and it just it's hard to do it when you 819 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 3: come into the game and you have to insert your 820 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 3: backup quarterback during the game. Now, if they have a 821 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 3: week to prepare and so on and so forth, that's 822 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 3: a different situation. But other than that, it's really tough 823 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 3: to do for me. I said this a couple of weeks. 824 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 3: I maybe even talked about it last week, but I'm 825 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 3: going to keep saying it until people realize what's happening. 826 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts are a team no 827 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:07,840 Speaker 3: team in the NFL wants to see. If you can't score, 828 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 3: you don't have a shot. They're going it. Justin Herbert 829 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 3: case in point. Justin Herbert through for four hundred and 830 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 3: twenty yards and three touchdowns today and lost by two scores. Yep, 831 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 3: that's how efficient this team is. Daniel Jones, Jonathan Taylor, 832 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 3: they're a His ability to spread the ball around five receptions, 833 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 3: four receptions, seven receptions, three receptions, and a bunch of ones. 834 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 3: His command of the offense, the flow of the offense. 835 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,760 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, it reminds me of what we saw. 836 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 3: I mentioned him earlier, Josh Allen his first year, and 837 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 3: then he turned up completely someone else. It just took 838 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:10,359 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones a little bit longer and a new zip code, 839 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,760 Speaker 3: a new state for him to really become who he's become. 840 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 3: Now you can say, oh, well it's this and it's 841 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 3: that they don't have a bunch of I mean, Michael 842 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 3: Pittman junior, right, right, is he on anyone's radar for 843 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 3: the all problem? Tyler Warren at the rookie Yeah, I 844 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,000 Speaker 3: mean and Alec Pierce, who's that great? 845 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 1: Yeah? 846 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 2: Josh Downs was out today, but yeah, like I mean, 847 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 2: that's not a who's who? 848 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. 849 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,800 Speaker 3: No, he's not throwing he's not. He's not Joe Flacco 850 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 3: throwing to two of the top five receivers in the league. 851 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: Right. 852 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 3: So, look, Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts, if you 853 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,439 Speaker 3: are not taking them serious, then good luck if they're 854 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:57,240 Speaker 3: on your schedule. 855 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,680 Speaker 2: Two quick questions about them. Do you view the Colts 856 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 2: as a Super Bowl contender? 857 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 3: Yes? 858 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: And how far away. 859 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 2: Are we from the Colts deciding that that's their QB. 860 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: That's the QB of the future, not just the now. 861 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 3: Oh. I they will if they want to see this 862 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,360 Speaker 3: thing play out. But after this year, if you have 863 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 3: some designs on moving off Daniel Jones, you will not 864 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 3: have if things hold court, right, we still got a 865 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 3: whole second half of the season to go. But if 866 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,640 Speaker 3: things stay pat you're not going to have a high 867 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 3: draft pick for a quarterback, So build the team. This 868 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 3: is a perfect opportunity. 869 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: Build a team. 870 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 3: Yep, do not let your offensive coordinator go and build 871 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 3: the team around him and ride that train period, all right. 872 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 2: Number two for me, it appears that the Dolphins players 873 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,839 Speaker 2: want Mike McDaniel to be fine. This is not a surprise, 874 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 2: but it's very rare that you see something play out 875 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 2: this way, from a war of words throughout the week 876 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 2: in press conferences to a calling out the leadership, the 877 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,879 Speaker 2: quote unquote leadership of the organization, then Mike McDaniel saying 878 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,800 Speaker 2: he was misguided with those comments, to a then coming 879 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 2: into apologize, followed by Tua showing up in Cleveland. Yes, 880 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,240 Speaker 2: it's a good defense, that's fine, But when you lose 881 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:42,880 Speaker 2: to the Cleveland Browns by twenty five points, one hundred 882 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 2: yards and three picks and a couple of them, I swore, 883 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, Tua, do you mean to throw that to 884 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,479 Speaker 2: the Browns like you're throwing picks when there isn't even 885 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 2: a dolphin. 886 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 1: In the area. 887 00:50:55,640 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 2: That was definitely one of the top five most uninspired 888 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 2: performances I've seen from a football team so far this year. 889 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,640 Speaker 2: And uh, it is mildly surprising. That we haven't heard 890 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 2: the announcement already. 891 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 3: I thought I thought we would have had breaking news today. 892 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 3: I mean during the show today. 893 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 2: Seriously, like you Florida loses to Stanford, it's like you're gone. 894 00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 2: And this from an NFL version felt the same. We'll 895 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,480 Speaker 2: see about tomorrow. I'm not I like Mike McDaniel. I'm 896 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,760 Speaker 2: not after anything. I'm just telling you what I saw today. 897 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,680 Speaker 2: And I saw a team that had no interest in 898 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 2: playing football. 899 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:36,759 Speaker 1: No, that's what I saw. 900 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 3: And he's lost the locker room. It's it's a it's 901 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 3: it's literally a poop show over there. Like it's hard 902 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 3: to watch. They're playing uninspired football. Are the Browns that 903 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 3: much better than you are? One in five Browns that 904 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 3: much better than you? Well, they put up thirty one 905 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:06,920 Speaker 3: A rookie quarterback puts up thirty one points, Like I 906 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 3: just I it's over now. I know Mike McDaniels, I know. 907 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 3: I've known him since he was an assistant at Houston. 908 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 3: He's a brilliant mind. He's going to be a tremendous 909 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator for someone next year. But in terms of 910 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,479 Speaker 3: a head coach, there needs to be more structure there 911 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,960 Speaker 3: and they need another quarterback. I believe the toul experiment 912 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 3: is done. It's done. You need to we need to 913 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 3: revamp this thing. It's not but we've seen teams get 914 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 3: from under not easy contracts Denver Broncos. So there's a 915 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 3: way out if you can stomach taking it. 916 00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 2: Dead cap hit after this season for to what will 917 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:06,280 Speaker 2: be fifty six was rustling for mores more. 918 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was more than that. Yep, yep, yep, yep. 919 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 3: Gotta get from under it, man, got to get it 920 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 3: out of there. 921 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,239 Speaker 1: All right, what's your number two? 922 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,879 Speaker 3: Number two? I'd be remisi if I didn't talk about 923 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos and what they were able to do today. 924 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 1: Go for it. 925 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 3: It just you know, as a former Bronco, I'm always 926 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 3: rooting for the teams I played for, yep. And watching 927 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:31,720 Speaker 3: them do absolutely nothing for the majority of the game 928 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 3: and then storm back the way that they did and 929 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 3: score thirty three points, the last three coming in the 930 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:45,239 Speaker 3: last seconds of the game was tremendous. And shout out 931 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 3: to to Sean Payton, who was a coach of Miya 932 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 3: at San Diego State. Shout out to bow Knicks to 933 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 3: just keep your head down and keep going. It's those 934 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 3: are tough games to play in because you feel like 935 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 3: nothing is going right when you can go and look. 936 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 3: New York had all the energy, they had, all the punch, 937 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:13,759 Speaker 3: they had, all the everything you would want, and they 938 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 3: Denver just wouldn't go away. They just wouldn't go away. 939 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 3: And they have bo Nicks sit up there, throw the 940 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 3: ball fifty times fifty times, only be sacked twice, no picks, 941 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,800 Speaker 3: and get them in a position to win that game. 942 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 3: You know, shout out to them and what they're building 943 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 3: in Denver because it's something special and it happened really fast. 944 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,479 Speaker 3: You got to remember, this kid's in his second year 945 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 3: and they've already been to the playoffs with. 946 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 2: Them real nice, real real nice. Yeah, and the Giants 947 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 2: they helped them out a little bit. But that's how 948 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 2: it works. And you're not wrong. The Denver Broncos. We 949 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 2: always see a couple of teams each year where you 950 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 2: can see the difference between a really good record and 951 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 2: a really bad record is just like a play here 952 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 2: or there. 953 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 1: The Broncos look like that team this year. 954 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,440 Speaker 2: They've been facing double digit deficits in the fourth quarter multiple. 955 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: Weeks in a row. They keep finding a way to 956 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:13,760 Speaker 1: win that's. 957 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,839 Speaker 2: Usually how you build a special season, so it's really 958 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 2: really cool to watch. Okay, before I get to number three, 959 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 2: would just like to point out that the forty nine 960 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 2: ers are averaging seven point two yards per carry on 961 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:28,720 Speaker 2: the ground. Seven point two yards per carry on the ground. 962 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 2: I think the team would like to welcome George Kittle 963 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:39,160 Speaker 2: back into the fold. All right, My number three is Aphraim. 964 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 2: I am not sure why the Vikings seem to think 965 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:48,319 Speaker 2: that Carson Wentz is playing well. I keep caring that 966 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy is closed to ready. 967 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 1: There's a chefter tweet today it's like he's not ready. 968 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 2: He's supposed to be six weeks and it has him 969 00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 2: in six weeks and it's almost like no, what he asks, like, 970 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,840 Speaker 2: why are you explaining. 971 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:02,680 Speaker 1: This to me? 972 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 2: The Vikings feel like they're playing a game. They feel 973 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 2: like they want you to believe that JJ McCarthy is 974 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 2: very unhealthy and that's why they're sticking with Carson Wentz. 975 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,320 Speaker 1: But the sort of haha under. 976 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,760 Speaker 2: The covers is we don't really think that JJ's playing 977 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,359 Speaker 2: that well or he's not ready, so let's stick with 978 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz because he's got us on a roll. Well, 979 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 2: he had won two of three games, and one of 980 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 2: them was a come from behind job overseas against Cleveland. 981 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,439 Speaker 2: And I've watched all of this, and I watched again 982 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 2: today against Philadelphia with two awful interceptions early in the 983 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 2: game that put them in a hole that they almost. 984 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 1: Crawled out of, but they didn't. 985 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 2: And so Wentz throws for his three hundred and thirteen yards, 986 00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 2: but he does not get any touchdowns. He turns the 987 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,800 Speaker 2: ball over twice, he fumbled once, even though he didn't 988 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 2: lose it. That kind of ball security does not work 989 00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 2: in the NFL, and it was clearly the difference in 990 00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 2: this football game won by the Philadelphia Eagles. So much 991 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 2: for a revenge game for Carson. Someone helped me out 992 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,000 Speaker 2: with this. The Vikings are not in the midst of 993 00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,080 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl window. You're not gonna win it with 994 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy or Carson Wentz. So why not get your 995 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,920 Speaker 2: guy some backing, some support and talk him up a 996 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 2: little bit. It's not like Carson is playing well. Stop 997 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 2: telling us that he is. 998 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:26,440 Speaker 1: He's not. 999 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they like JJ McCarthy. 1000 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,440 Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's the only thing that this 1001 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:33,960 Speaker 1: could mean. 1002 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they're happy with his progression. You 1003 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:43,120 Speaker 3: gotta remember he was out all last year. He's hurt again. 1004 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 3: This is trending in a bad way right now. This 1005 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 3: is trending somewhere they didn't foresee. I know they're kicking 1006 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:59,640 Speaker 3: themselves and not signing back Sam Donald. I thought Sam 1007 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 3: was t indous form. He's tremendous for Seattle right now. 1008 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 3: And they're stuck with Mike McCarthy, whether he's good or not. 1009 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 3: And I think they're just trying to buy it as 1010 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:22,280 Speaker 3: much time as they possibly can, because what's the alternative 1011 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 3: to really get him out there and get him exposed 1012 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:29,479 Speaker 3: more or let him get all the way healthy, which 1013 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 3: is crazy because if you're struggling that quarterback, as soon 1014 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 3: as your quarterback is ready to go a little bit, 1015 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 3: you you, you get him out there. And if if 1016 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,919 Speaker 3: they don't have the confidence in him, we can all 1017 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 3: tell they're doing a poor job of hiding it. I'll 1018 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 3: leave it at that.

Mark 1117 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 8: Willard and he from salam I'll let you guys figure 1118 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 8: that and went out that happened whatever that was on 1119 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 8: third down in San Francisco. 1120 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 3: Back to you guys, all right. 1121 01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:47,919 Speaker 1: Martin, thank you very much. 1122 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 2: We are live in these Fox Sports radio studios, and yeah, 1123 01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,800 Speaker 2: we'll have to get that figured out. It was caught 1124 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 2: by an offensive lineman as the arm was hit coming through. 1125 01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,960 Speaker 2: So in that particular case, I think the Niners hope 1126 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 2: it was a fumble, right, yeah, because if it's a pass, 1127 01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 2: you know, not allowed. 1128 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 3: To catch that, which I think is a shame. 1129 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 2: That's a good point. Why don't you riff on that 1130 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:11,640 Speaker 2: for a second, big Man. 1131 01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,320 Speaker 3: No, I think we should. No, No, no, I can't. 1132 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 3: I can't because I know us and a good majority 1133 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 3: of us have no business near the ball. I used 1134 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,600 Speaker 3: to tell my nephews. Used to be like, you know, 1135 01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 3: uncle E, did you you score a touchdown in the NFL? No, no, no, 1136 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 3: I said, if I ever touched the ball, something is 1137 01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 3: going horribly wrong. And and and that's the fact of 1138 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:35,680 Speaker 3: the matter. 1139 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,240 Speaker 1: Even if you recover of fumble, it means one of. 1140 01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,560 Speaker 3: You has gone horribly wrong. 1141 01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,560 Speaker 2: Well, the players under review, so we'll we'll let you 1142 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 2: know what's going on. And now as I mean the ball, Oh, 1143 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,000 Speaker 2: that is a weird one. That is a weird one. 1144 01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,160 Speaker 2: The ball got hit as he was lifting his arm 1145 01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 2: to throw, but he's still sort of had control of it. 1146 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,120 Speaker 2: And then the arm is definitely coming forward, but I 1147 01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 2: don't know if the ball is already kind of moving 1148 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 2: around in his hand and then it pinballs around, it 1149 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 2: ends up in the hands of an offensive lineman. He 1150 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 2: falls down. The Niners are in long field goal range. 1151 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. You want to you 1152 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 2: want to throw anything at this? 1153 01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:18,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a it's a fumble. 1154 01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,240 Speaker 1: I think it's a fumble. I think it's good for 1155 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: the Niners. 1156 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,160 Speaker 3: Great, it's great. Big fellow got him a couple of 1157 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 3: car a couple of yards on the fumble recovery. So 1158 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:35,040 Speaker 3: you know, but look, I'm I'm the forty nine ers 1159 01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:39,400 Speaker 3: are playing motivated football right now.

Look, if they can continue to win 1163 01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,640 Speaker 3: these games until they get all the way healthy, they're 1164 01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 3: going to be exactly what they want to be come December. 1165 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,720 Speaker 2: Well, I would say this about this particular football game 1166 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,840 Speaker 2: because I'll agree with everything that you just said and 1167 01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:10,680 Speaker 2: also add that there is a report from Diana Russini 1168 01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 2: that both Brock Purdy and Ricky Piersoll are expected back 1169 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,600 Speaker 2: next week as they go visit another one of your 1170 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 2: ex teams, the Houston Texans, next Sunday. I can't wait 1171 01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:21,840 Speaker 2: to talk that one out with you because that's an 1172 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,840 Speaker 2: early game next Sunday, so that one's going to be 1173 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,360 Speaker 2: real interesting. Houston will be coming off of a short week. 1174 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 2: They play tomorrow night in Seattle. But this particular game 1175 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 2: for me represents almost everything with regard to whether or 1176 01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 2: not the forty nine ers should kind of go for 1177 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,880 Speaker 2: something at the trade deadline or not. Because I know 1178 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 2: you and I talked about this briefly last week. You 1179 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 2: always got to help your team out when they're winning games, 1180 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. But I also like anything 1181 01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,120 Speaker 2: at the top of the market. First round pick, second 1182 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 2: round pick to me. With Fred Warner and Nick. 1183 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,720 Speaker 1: Posta both gone, you take that off of the table. 1184 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:09,120 Speaker 2: I am not leveraging my future to go after a 1185 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 2: Super Bowl when your two best players on defense are 1186 01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 2: not coming back. 1187 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: I just I wouldn't do that. 1188 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 2: But if your team shows on Sunday Night football, you 1189 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 2: know that you could win a football game against a 1190 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 2: pretty decent team, like a good offense. If you can 1191 01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:34,439 Speaker 2: win a football game without Fred Warner and Nick Bosa, 1192 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 2: knowing that the offense, as you just said, should be 1193 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:41,799 Speaker 2: getting healthier, then I at least go shopping. 1194 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:47,240 Speaker 1: I might not go shopping at Bloomingdale's. I'm a shop. 1195 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 2: Well at least maybe even Northstrom, but you know, like 1196 01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:56,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go shopping, I'm gonna try to help my 1197 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:57,479 Speaker 2: team out. 1198 01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,920 Speaker 1: I'm not going to go big, but I am going 1199 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:02,559 Speaker 1: to go. 1200 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 3: All right. Forty nine ers fifty six yard field goal. 1201 01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,759 Speaker 2: Eddie Piniero has not missed a field goal since joining 1202 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 2: the forty. 1203 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 3: Nine Man Welcome to the team. 1204 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,120 Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, he's missed an extra point and he 1205 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 2: almost missed an extra point. 1206 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:19,679 Speaker 1: Ten minutes ago. 1207 01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,679 Speaker 3: To get it together, but the. 1208 01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 2: Field goals, they go through the yellow things. 1209 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 3: That's large. 1210 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 1: Yes, they do, ask ask New York. 1211 01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I think that when people look at the 1212 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 2: forty nine ers the last couple of years. You know this, 1213 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 2: everybody loves to yell about the quarterback the last two 1214 01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,439 Speaker 2: years one way or another. I thought Steve Wilkes was 1215 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,680 Speaker 2: a great is a great coach, but was not the 1216 01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 2: right fit. And then last year's defensive coordinator, Nick Sorenson 1217 01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 2: was just completely in over his head. 1218 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 1: They have brought Robert Salad. 1219 01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 2: Back, and if he can have anybody even look like 1220 01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,720 Speaker 2: this for a half without Fred Warner and Nick bos 1221 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,080 Speaker 2: call me impressed. And Bryce Huff who just made that play, 1222 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:09,000 Speaker 2: was a hand selected trade target for the Niners because 1223 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 2: Bryce had been with Robert with the Jets and been 1224 01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,640 Speaker 2: very successful and uh and now here that is paying dividends. 1225 01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:20,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know it was unfortunate for Nick Sorenson. 1226 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,559 Speaker 3: I know, Nick, I played with Nick, good guy, great guy, 1227 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:30,360 Speaker 3: great teammate, But you know, Robert Salad coming back for 1228 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 3: the Niners was huge because even as the Jets coach, 1229 01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 3: he was a good coach. He just ran into a 1230 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 3: bunch of circumstances that he couldn't control and it just 1231 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:48,440 Speaker 3: wasn't conduced. I don't think it's conducive to anybody. 1232 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 1: Yep. And I know who you mean when you say 1233 01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,120 Speaker 1: the word circumstances. 1234 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:54,840 Speaker 3: Hey, man, I know what you mean. 1235 01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,759 Speaker 1: Everybody knows his name. He quarterbacks for the Steelers. 1236 01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:01,040 Speaker 3: Now, it's just one of those situations. Was pretty much 1237 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:04,880 Speaker 3: a lose lose. I mean, they've done nothing but regress 1238 01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 3: since he was fired, especially defensively. And so the one 1239 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,240 Speaker 3: thing we would say about the Jets or any team 1240 01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:19,479 Speaker 3: Robert Solid coaches, they're gonna fight. They gonna step up 1241 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 3: and they're gonna punch you in the mouth and they're 1242 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 3: gonna fight. And you just don't have that from them 1243 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 3: like I and and I pride myself on every week 1244 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:37,120 Speaker 3: saying I watch every single game, and I'm gonna be honest, 1245 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 3: I think I maybe watched three plays of the Carolina 1246 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 3: Jets game. 1247 01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was hard. It was hard to take in, man. 1248 01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 3: Like I just didn't have any space for for that 1249 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:54,719 Speaker 3: game on my docket today. 1250 01:11:55,720 --> 01:12:04,799 Speaker 2: So I mean, have the Jets won five football games 1251 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 2: since Robert Salad was fired? 1252 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 3: No, I doubt that they haven't won any this year. 1253 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1254 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I shouldn't have asked that. I don't 1255 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,240 Speaker 2: know that they won five all of last year period. 1256 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:18,479 Speaker 2: I don't remember what their record was. 1257 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 3: No one does. Yeah, not even Jets fans. 1258 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:25,960 Speaker 2: But Justin Field's got benched in this football game today. 1259 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 3: Yep, that happened. That happened so and I didn't know. 1260 01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:33,719 Speaker 3: I just turned it. I was like, hey, what happened 1261 01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:38,000 Speaker 3: to just hmm, it's weird, It's not in there, okay, right, 1262 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:38,799 Speaker 3: moving on. 1263 01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:41,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you did not get hurt. 1264 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:46,360 Speaker 2: Torod Taylor was just inserted into the football game. And 1265 01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,639 Speaker 2: the Jets got two field goals today and and then that. 1266 01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:50,320 Speaker 1: Was the end of that. 1267 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:52,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. And what happened to Bryce. 1268 01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:55,679 Speaker 1: Ankle? 1269 01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,519 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay. I was watching two backups go against 1270 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 3: each other. Yeah, and he's plays and I just went 1271 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:03,200 Speaker 3: on switched it right. 1272 01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:07,720 Speaker 2: On off Andy Dalton and to Rod Taylor is like 1273 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 2: an old Bengals Ravens game from the AFC North but 1274 01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:18,599 Speaker 2: nowhere near is fun anyway? Rolling along here on Week 1275 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:24,759 Speaker 2: seven in the National Football League almost halftime Niners and Falcons. 1276 01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,680 Speaker 2: Niners up ten to three, Falcons are threatening. We will 1277 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,360 Speaker 2: keep you up to date on that. We do need 1278 01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,840 Speaker 2: to discuss the Chiefs the Colts.

This is Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Radio Studios. 1288 01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:11,280 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's a weird time to ask, but 1289 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 2: I don't think so. Like the Arizona Cardinals, they lost 1290 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 2: today and they lost last week. Now they've actually lost 1291 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:27,679 Speaker 2: five weeks in a row. But that's not the point. 1292 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,200 Speaker 2: I want to focus on the last two weeks where 1293 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 2: they went to Indianapolis, a team that you have said 1294 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 2: tonight is a Super Bowl contender. They went to Indianapolis 1295 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:42,160 Speaker 2: and gave them everything they could handle and a high 1296 01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 2: scoring final of thirty one to twenty seven. And then 1297 01:14:45,200 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 2: today they took on an NFC high level Green Bay 1298 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 2: Packer team, and yes, Jordan Love and the Packers did 1299 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,920 Speaker 2: their thing in the fourth quarter and came away with 1300 01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 2: a narrow victory, again a high scoring football game, fifty 1301 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,880 Speaker 2: points in this game, twenty seven to twenty three. This week, 1302 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,879 Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett threw for two hundred and seventy nine yards. 1303 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:12,880 Speaker 2: He had two touchdown throws. He did not throw a 1304 01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:21,760 Speaker 2: pick in the uh the aforementioned game against the Indianapolis 1305 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,439 Speaker 2: Colts and the close loss there, Jacoby Brissett threw for 1306 01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty yards and he was picked once, 1307 01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,320 Speaker 2: but he also had a couple of touchdown runs nineteen 1308 01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:32,360 Speaker 2: yards on the ground. 1309 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,479 Speaker 1: I wonder if you get what I'm getting at. 1310 01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:38,879 Speaker 3: Oh, I get it, I get what you're poking at. 1311 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 2: The whole world wants to scream about Hey, Mac Jones, 1312 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:47,760 Speaker 2: guy looks just as good as Brock and I would 1313 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 2: argue that. But put it over here for a second. 1314 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:54,080 Speaker 2: Only because it's the Arizona Cardinals. Are we not having 1315 01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 2: the exact same conversation with regard to their football team, 1316 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 2: And also only because they went on and too in 1317 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 2: those games, but you'll notice that the point total is 1318 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 2: going up and they are getting as good, if not 1319 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 2: better production from Jacoby Brissette as opposed to Kyler Murray, 1320 01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:14,799 Speaker 2: who I find. 1321 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:18,360 Speaker 1: To be one of the more mysterious quarterbacks. 1322 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 2: In this league. He's been paid. He's not been paid 1323 01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,720 Speaker 2: like the elite, but he's been paid. And I think 1324 01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 2: he's right on the bubble as to whether or not 1325 01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,800 Speaker 2: you should pay him to be your starting quarterback. 1326 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:39,120 Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett, Kyler Murray, Kyl. Look, I've never really been 1327 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:44,880 Speaker 3: a Kyler Murray fans. I'm just gonna be honest. Just 1328 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:48,639 Speaker 3: from a leadership standpoint, I knew a couple of guys 1329 01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 3: played didn't quite trust him as a leader. The coaches 1330 01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,240 Speaker 3: didn't trust him as a leader. That's why they put 1331 01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 3: some crazy clause that no one's ever heard of in 1332 01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 3: a contract. They try to get him to sign less 1333 01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 3: gaming more watching film, which is crazy to even say 1334 01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 3: as a quarterback. So I've never really been a big 1335 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,640 Speaker 3: believer in him. I think he's too small, similar to 1336 01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,200 Speaker 3: Brice Young. I just think they're too small. I think 1337 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 3: the demand at the quarterback position is too high. And yeah, 1338 01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,160 Speaker 3: he's a good scrambler. He can throw a pretty ball 1339 01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,760 Speaker 3: every now and again, but where does that get you? 1340 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 3: Where does that get you? I mean, I take Tua 1341 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:46,799 Speaker 3: over Kyler Murray and Tua can't run anyone. 1342 01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 1: That's a hell of a statement. 1343 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:53,360 Speaker 3: I'm just saying to me, at least two is trying. Now. 1344 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,639 Speaker 3: I don't want people to think I hate Kyler Murray. 1345 01:17:56,680 --> 01:18:03,160 Speaker 3: I don't. I really don't. In terms of quarterbacks, I'm like, 1346 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:08,960 Speaker 3: I'm an offensive lineman, and so the utmost trust and 1347 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,320 Speaker 3: respect has to come from the guy I'm putting everything 1348 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,400 Speaker 3: on the line for, and I just don't see it 1349 01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 3: in Kyler. And I've talked, like I said, I've had 1350 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 3: conversations with other guys who were on that team and 1351 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:26,000 Speaker 3: they didn't see it from him either. So I just 1352 01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:33,639 Speaker 3: let Kobe Bruce let go. I mean, he's a good backup. 1353 01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:39,120 Speaker 3: The offensive flow is a little bit better now. All 1354 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 3: this is taking place with them losing the real heart 1355 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 3: and soul of that team, just so we be so 1356 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 3: we're clear. The true the heart of that team was 1357 01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:59,800 Speaker 3: James Connor. James Connor, he's the leader. He is they 1358 01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:04,519 Speaker 3: are on the Cardinals, and when they lost him, we 1359 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:08,360 Speaker 3: saw them regress and how they even approach the game. 1360 01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:13,080 Speaker 3: And that's a big loss for that program because he's 1361 01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 3: a tremendous leader and he brings an edge that everybody 1362 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,760 Speaker 3: respects in that locker room and in that stadium. That 1363 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 3: edge is gone. So who are they? No one knows. 1364 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 2: It's a fascinating slot that Cardinals find themselves in, and 1365 01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:34,040 Speaker 2: it's always a slot. There are multiple NFL teams two 1366 01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,920 Speaker 2: and the Dolphins are another where you kind of have 1367 01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:39,240 Speaker 2: a QB where you're like, they're good enough to make 1368 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,720 Speaker 2: us relevant ish, so we got to pay him and 1369 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,960 Speaker 2: keep them, but we also know for sure they're not 1370 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,360 Speaker 2: good enough to win a Super Bowl? So do you 1371 01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,720 Speaker 2: keep them or do you move on's that's kind of 1372 01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 2: the question. Love to get into that with you a 1373 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,439 Speaker 2: little bit more coming up next with e from Salama 1374 01:19:57,560 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 2: Mark Willard. 1375 01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Radio, Oh. 1376 01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,519 Speaker 2: Into the night and into the second half of Sunday 1377 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,080 Speaker 2: Night Football, breaking down everything from Week seven in the 1378 01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 2: National Football League, broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. 1379 01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:18,479 Speaker 2: Still need to look at those Kansas City Chiefs, those 1380 01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:23,439 Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts and beyond and continue the conversation we were 1381 01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:27,519 Speaker 2: just having, which was inspired by Kyler Murray. But we 1382 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 2: take it to a bigger level to look around the league, 1383 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,200 Speaker 2: and I'm always fascinated by what should a team do? 1384 01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 1: You know. 1385 01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 2: Derek Carr was an example of this when the Raiders 1386 01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,320 Speaker 2: moved on from him. It's kind of like, Okay, I'm 1387 01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,600 Speaker 2: not going to call you a crappy quarterback. 1388 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:44,759 Speaker 1: You're not bad. 1389 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,680 Speaker 2: But if a team doesn't think it can actually get 1390 01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:51,400 Speaker 2: to the next level with you, and you're just kind 1391 01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,040 Speaker 2: of a you know, mid as they would say quarterback, 1392 01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,000 Speaker 2: like you're solid, you can do some things, but it's 1393 01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,720 Speaker 2: just not quite enough and it's not blending with the 1394 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 2: system and all of these things. Should that team pay 1395 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:10,000 Speaker 2: you and stay relevant and maybe stay a playoff contender 1396 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:15,680 Speaker 2: or regenerate the quarterback position every few years knowing that 1397 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:18,320 Speaker 2: you're gonna have some misses and some bad players, but 1398 01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,360 Speaker 2: you're also gonna have a whole lot of cop space 1399 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,000 Speaker 2: to play around with. And I think those two teams 1400 01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:27,879 Speaker 2: we just brought up, the Dolphins and the Arizona Cardinals 1401 01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:32,840 Speaker 2: right now, those are probably two of the best examples 1402 01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:37,840 Speaker 2: out there right now. But it's coming, it'll, it'll, you know. 1403 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:45,400 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence Jackson Trevor is probably right now on a 1404 01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 2: highway for that conversation. They're three guys, they've all been paid, 1405 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 2: and I don't really know exactly what it is that 1406 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:56,200 Speaker 2: team is going to achieve next to them. 1407 01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's at some point you have to move your 1408 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:11,519 Speaker 3: organization forward. You have to try to actually get to 1409 01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:17,600 Speaker 3: the playoffs and compete for a championship. And if the 1410 01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:26,160 Speaker 3: quarterback you have doesn't have those abilities, even after you 1411 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 3: you know, you've put resources around them, and you know, 1412 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:30,840 Speaker 3: you try to find the right coach and so on 1413 01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:34,400 Speaker 3: and so forth, then what you'll find is if you're 1414 01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:38,760 Speaker 3: holding on to set quarterback, you'll burn through personnel and 1415 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 3: and draft picks trying to put lipstick on a mud dog. Well, 1416 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:57,120 Speaker 3: and so we've seen this happen. We've seen teams go 1417 01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:03,200 Speaker 3: through coordinators and coaches and and other players trying to 1418 01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 3: make a thing work. Trevor Lawrence been in the league 1419 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:11,599 Speaker 3: a long time. It's a long time. They just got 1420 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 3: the breaks beat off of them in the place that 1421 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,120 Speaker 3: they've played more than any other team. 1422 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,839 Speaker 1: No, that's supposed to be their home and yeah. 1423 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 3: Right, and so at some point, like we talked about, 1424 01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,200 Speaker 3: you know, after they had beat the Chiefs. Everybody was like, oh, 1425 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:36,200 Speaker 3: they won despite Trevor Lawrence. In my opinion, I've had 1426 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 3: enough of a simple size. He's not the guy. Can 1427 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:44,479 Speaker 3: he make some throws? Yeah, of course, so can a 1428 01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:49,760 Speaker 3: lot of starting quarterbacks in the league. But Jaydon Daniels 1429 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,920 Speaker 3: came into the league and took his team the first 1430 01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,120 Speaker 3: year to the NFC Championship game. 1431 01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:57,479 Speaker 1: C J. 1432 01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 3: Stroud came into the league and took his team to 1433 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,840 Speaker 3: the playoffs back to back years, the second round of 1434 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:08,000 Speaker 3: the playoffs back to back years. So when you look 1435 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,800 Speaker 3: at the scope of young quarterbacks, look at what bo 1436 01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:16,719 Speaker 3: Nix is doing. Yep, look at what Drake May is doing. 1437 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,120 Speaker 3: So when you start talking about Kyler Murray and Trevor 1438 01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,479 Speaker 3: Lawrence and in these other names, it's like, oh, well, 1439 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:31,760 Speaker 3: there's something wrong, but you can you can try to 1440 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 3: fix or work the problem around the actual problem and 1441 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:39,960 Speaker 3: just be burning through resourses. 1442 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:40,439 Speaker 1: Yep. 1443 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think those are the three examples 1444 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:48,040 Speaker 2: that are shining right now in the league where it's 1445 01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:52,080 Speaker 2: like it's obvious they've got big contracts and it doesn't 1446 01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 2: feel like it's getting any better, and in some cases 1447 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 2: it feels like it's getting worse. 1448 01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:00,479 Speaker 1: And then there are others where I would. 1449 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:04,840 Speaker 2: Say we might get into that conversation sometime soon. 1450 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 1: I know how you feel about Bryce Young. 1451 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,600 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what the Panthers decide to 1452 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 2: do there going forward. You know, like I c J. 1453 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 2: Stroud is an interesting name. I don't think there's a 1454 01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:22,880 Speaker 2: whole lot of question there. But what is that number 1455 01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:27,720 Speaker 2: when when his time comes is going to be interesting 1456 01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:29,920 Speaker 2: and we'll see how the rest of this season goes. 1457 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,479 Speaker 1: I think he's kind of getting thrown to the wolves 1458 01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. 1459 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,439 Speaker 2: I think his offensive line is right, they're not doing 1460 01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:39,960 Speaker 2: it and he never had ten years and so that's 1461 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:41,760 Speaker 2: a big part of it. But I think CJ is 1462 01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,479 Speaker 2: a pretty good player. But how that sort of shakes out? 1463 01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 2: And then you know, then there's the that, like the 1464 01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:51,639 Speaker 2: other conversations, some are necessary, some aren't. 1465 01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:52,280 Speaker 1: I know that. 1466 01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:54,519 Speaker 2: You know, Rock Party has been a lightning rod on 1467 01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 2: this with regard to Okay, he's good, but is he 1468 01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,280 Speaker 2: worth that? And then I think you can extend that 1469 01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:05,240 Speaker 2: in a different way to Doc Prescott in Dallas, who, again, 1470 01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 2: this is a good quarterback. He shouldn't be the highest 1471 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:12,880 Speaker 2: paid player in the game. I know that and how 1472 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,439 Speaker 2: is that gonna feel if Dallas continues to just kind 1473 01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,360 Speaker 2: of fall short even though they're as big of a 1474 01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:19,599 Speaker 2: brand as the league has. 1475 01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1476 01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:24,080 Speaker 2: Those those are the names I think that you play 1477 01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,479 Speaker 2: with when it comes to a conversation like this. 1478 01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you would have to. You look at 1479 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 3: the money they're paying these guys. You expect more from them. 1480 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:38,040 Speaker 3: You expect more from them, You expect that if you're 1481 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:45,719 Speaker 3: making that much money, you're at least worth nine games. Yeah, yeah, 1482 01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:51,519 Speaker 3: you're gonna give us nine a year at least, and 1483 01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,360 Speaker 3: then we can muster up the other two or three 1484 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:59,760 Speaker 3: with personnel and you know, defense, edge rusher are some 1485 01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 3: like that. You got to break it up into those 1486 01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:05,400 Speaker 3: type of moments, right, I was on the fence with 1487 01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:10,120 Speaker 3: Jordan Love. I didn't know, if you know which, if 1488 01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:18,759 Speaker 3: he could separate himself from those guys, and he's trying 1489 01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:20,839 Speaker 3: to pull away from them. 1490 01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:21,400 Speaker 1: Now. 1491 01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:25,599 Speaker 3: Michael Parsons had a big, a big part of that 1492 01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:33,840 Speaker 3: win today, huge part of that win today. So it's 1493 01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:39,599 Speaker 3: one of those situations where all eyes are on on 1494 01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,280 Speaker 3: on on Jordan Love. 1495 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:47,080 Speaker 2: This this year, Buck seventy nine one touchdown, did not 1496 01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:49,519 Speaker 2: turn the ball over, but he did fumble it twice, 1497 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:53,520 Speaker 2: got recovered both times by his team. 1498 01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 1: But yeah, like in the end, this. 1499 01:27:57,960 --> 01:28:02,599 Speaker 2: Kind of goes away statistically divided that you're winning football games. 1500 01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:07,240 Speaker 2: And you know, as a conversation we've been having in 1501 01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:09,960 Speaker 2: the Bay a whole lot right now, Mac Jones has 1502 01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:13,760 Speaker 2: people thinking, oh, someone's gonna come and give a first 1503 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:14,840 Speaker 2: or second round draft. 1504 01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:19,160 Speaker 1: Pick for him in the offseason. And it's like, well, like, when. 1505 01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:22,160 Speaker 2: You win a football game sixteen to fifteen, is the 1506 01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 2: quarterback bawling or did you you know what I mean? 1507 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 1: But that's how it works. 1508 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:31,160 Speaker 2: If you win, then that's how people are going to 1509 01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:31,880 Speaker 2: feel about you. 1510 01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,960 Speaker 1: And Jordan Love is for one and one right now. 1511 01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you you have to when you're looking at the 1512 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:47,000 Speaker 3: quarterback position, number one. Backup quarterbacks have nothing to lose 1513 01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:48,160 Speaker 3: in everything to gain. 1514 01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:48,599 Speaker 1: Yep. 1515 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:54,559 Speaker 3: So the pressure is not there. The pressure is not 1516 01:28:54,640 --> 01:29:00,840 Speaker 3: there because the expectation is, I mean, just keep us 1517 01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:04,760 Speaker 3: even win one, lose one, win one, lose one, you 1518 01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 3: just keep it five hundred for US. Minnesota went on 1519 01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,000 Speaker 3: the heck of a ride with Sam Donald. Sam Donald 1520 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:20,559 Speaker 3: turned a corner last year. Can he continue on that path? 1521 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:27,720 Speaker 3: We'll see Baker Mayfield turned the corner and he's on 1522 01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:37,880 Speaker 3: that path. Yep, scorched earth. And so the opportunity for 1523 01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:47,240 Speaker 3: backup quarterback to restart his career in his life, they're 1524 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,920 Speaker 3: not a lot of high stakes. You could be a 1525 01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:52,600 Speaker 3: backup quarterback for twelve years, make millions and millions of 1526 01:29:52,640 --> 01:30:01,479 Speaker 3: dollars and be completely fine, completely fine. Now, if you 1527 01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:04,120 Speaker 3: want to be a starting quarterback again, you gotta do 1528 01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:11,559 Speaker 3: something special. Mac Jones is doing that. All right, we'll 1529 01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:14,280 Speaker 3: see how this, you know, he's latin next few games 1530 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:18,479 Speaker 3: shakeout and when Brock comes back. But he's playing himself 1531 01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:22,480 Speaker 3: into an opportunity in the right situation to start again. 1532 01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:22,840 Speaker 1: No doubt. 1533 01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 3: And that's all you can That's all you can ask. 1534 01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 1: Not a free agent at the end of the year. 1535 01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:27,559 Speaker 1: Oh keep that in mind. 1536 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,519 Speaker 3: No, no, no, but that's and if Niners love him 1537 01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:35,160 Speaker 3: to keep winning, yep, love for him to keep winning. 1538 01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,479 Speaker 2: He took his Niners on an opening drive field goal 1539 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 2: in the third quarter of the Falcons have immediately response 1540 01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:48,280 Speaker 2: and responded a Bijon Robinson touchdown, and we've got ourselves 1541 01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:51,960 Speaker 2: a continued close game about how just passed the halfway 1542 01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:54,719 Speaker 2: mark of the third quarter and there's thirteen to ten 1543 01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:59,160 Speaker 2: in favor of the Niners. That Baker Mayfield contract's going 1544 01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 2: to be a fascinating one when it comes up, isn't it. 1545 01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 2: And because he signed a three year, one hundred million 1546 01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:05,599 Speaker 2: dollar deal, so he's been like. 1547 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:11,679 Speaker 1: Paid, not paid. We've been paid a little bit. 1548 01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:15,800 Speaker 2: But in the world of quarterbacks, three years and one 1549 01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:19,320 Speaker 2: hundred that's that sort of Sam Darnold Baker Mayfield, like, 1550 01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:23,960 Speaker 2: we like you. But let's see, Uh, there's not gonna 1551 01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:27,120 Speaker 2: be any question next time around, and Baker will still 1552 01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:29,599 Speaker 2: be a young man. He's got one more year on 1553 01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:32,639 Speaker 2: that deal next year at age thirty one. 1554 01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:35,800 Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. If Baker continues the way 1555 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,559 Speaker 3: he's going now and he ends up being the MVP 1556 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:43,919 Speaker 3: R second in that, then there he'll sign that extension 1557 01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:44,320 Speaker 3: next year. 1558 01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:48,280 Speaker 1: This all next year, absolutely, and it'll be it'll be 1559 01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:52,240 Speaker 1: it'll be worth it north of fifty.

I've had 1601 01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:15,320 Speaker 2: others around me even suggest that, you know, maybe maybe 1602 01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:22,880 Speaker 2: they miss the playoffs entirely. The Chiefs are four and three, 1603 01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:27,320 Speaker 2: and over the last seven days they have started to 1604 01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 2: look a little bit like the Kansas City Chiefs.

I think they are. 1610 01:34:54,720 --> 01:35:00,679 Speaker 3: We just spent a whole segment talking about quarterback yep 1611 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:07,000 Speaker 3: and salaries and the middle of the road and all 1612 01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:16,160 Speaker 3: kinds of stuff. What the Chiefs don't have that problem, 1613 01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:23,920 Speaker 3: and they have the best quarterback in the game and 1614 01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:27,640 Speaker 3: have for a couple of years now, more than a 1615 01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:34,880 Speaker 3: couple of years, several years. And even when he's not 1616 01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:40,720 Speaker 3: putting up the numbers we're accustomed to, he's still at 1617 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:45,679 Speaker 3: any time the most dangerous person on any field because 1618 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:50,679 Speaker 3: you're always in the game if he's in the game. 1619 01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:57,519 Speaker 3: And now what we're seeing from the Kansas City Chiefs 1620 01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:00,840 Speaker 3: is they've shaken a little bit of the rust off, 1621 01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:06,439 Speaker 3: licking their wounds from losing the brutal Super Bowl, and 1622 01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:08,640 Speaker 3: they've been they've gotten healthy, and I don't know what 1623 01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:10,760 Speaker 3: happened to Trey Smith that they will see how that 1624 01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:16,720 Speaker 3: shakes out there, you know, Perennial all world guard, right 1625 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:22,640 Speaker 3: right guard.

That's all I'm saying. Hey, 1657 01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:31,240 Speaker 3: if I'm wrong, No, you're not wrong. Okay, so then 1658 01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:34,120 Speaker 3: you see it too, of course. Okay, but there's a 1659 01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:36,880 Speaker 3: secondary question to that. Okay, what's the secondary question? 1660 01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:41,559 Speaker 2: Are they the ones that make that dynamic or do 1661 01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:44,280 Speaker 2: you think that dynamic is based on. 1662 01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:47,000 Speaker 1: Other powers that be. 1663 01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 3: You know what, I don't know. 1664 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got to have a hand in it now. 1665 01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like they're not good. They're good. 1666 01:38:57,520 --> 01:38:58,200 Speaker 3: They are good. 1667 01:38:58,200 --> 01:38:59,240 Speaker 1: They're clearly good. 1668 01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:07,280 Speaker 3: But are they that good every time? Right? It can't 1669 01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:09,960 Speaker 3: be a coincidence. If it happens over and over again, right, 1670 01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:13,719 Speaker 3: and that, then it's a thing. And it's a thing, right, 1671 01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,679 Speaker 3: it's kind of thing every single time. 1672 01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean, tell me if I'm wrong. 1673 01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:28,479 Speaker 2: I mean, it would help if you're wearing one of 1674 01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:30,800 Speaker 2: the other jerseys that when you got two hands on 1675 01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:33,439 Speaker 2: the Patrick Mahomes football squeeze it. 1676 01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:34,960 Speaker 3: Tell me if. 1677 01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:40,679 Speaker 1: You're not wrong, you're not wrong, you're not right. 1678 01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:42,320 Speaker 3: Then we're on the same page. 1679 01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:46,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and last week. Last week you talked 1680 01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:54,000 Speaker 2: about how it's a lot for a football team to 1681 01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 2: have the energy super Bowl, win the super Bowl, lose 1682 01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:01,080 Speaker 2: the super Bowl, win the super Bowl, and then come back 1683 01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:05,920 Speaker 2: the next year a year older and have the energy. 1684 01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:09,479 Speaker 2: That's what impresses me about the Chiefs. I'm waiting for 1685 01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:12,800 Speaker 2: somebody to start caring a little bit less than all 1686 01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:15,479 Speaker 2: these other teams who don't have any rings. 1687 01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:19,639 Speaker 1: But that hasn't happened yet. 1688 01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:24,000 Speaker 2: Even after a even after an zero to two and 1689 01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:25,920 Speaker 2: a one or two. 1690 01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:27,960 Speaker 1: And three start to the season. 1691 01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:34,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, they dominated Detroit and they made the Raiders look 1692 01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:38,920 Speaker 2: like they weren't even an NFL team. 1693 01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm not one. 1694 01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:43,240 Speaker 3: Hundred percent sure that they are still trying to figure 1695 01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:43,679 Speaker 3: that out. 1696 01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:45,519 Speaker 1: Check the schedule though. 1697 01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:47,799 Speaker 2: The next month and a half is pretty damn interesting, 1698 01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:52,720 Speaker 2: isn't it. So Uh, They're going to host the Commanders 1699 01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:58,720 Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football next week. It feels like it's 1700 01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:01,439 Speaker 2: likely that Jade and Daniels would not play in that game. 1701 01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:06,599 Speaker 2: Then they go to Buffalo, Then they get a week off, 1702 01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:10,960 Speaker 2: Then they go to Denver, then they host the Colts. 1703 01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:14,800 Speaker 2: No early buy for them, huh No, they get to 1704 01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:15,720 Speaker 2: get the buy week ten. 1705 01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:20,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, we get a recharge yep after the midway point. 1706 01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:21,760 Speaker 1: Huh yeah. 1707 01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:28,960 Speaker 2: All right, poor guys have to play on Christmas again 1708 01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,639 Speaker 2: from Chucky does Yeah, pay the Broncos on Christmas. 1709 01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:33,360 Speaker 1: That'll be fun. 1710 01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:37,439 Speaker 3: It will be fun.

Top of the eighth innings, 1714 01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:51,080 Speaker 8: six to two, the score and Toronto in the lead. 1715 01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,160 Speaker 8: Shato leaves the series. Looks like Game seven will be 1716 01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:57,519 Speaker 8: scheduled for tomorrow if necessary. It would take a comeback 1717 01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,000 Speaker 8: from the Mariners if that was to be the case. 1718 01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,760 Speaker 8: Addison Bardier had a two run homer in the third inning. 1719 01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:06,240 Speaker 8: He's got three RBI.

They might win If Lamar. 1821 01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:06,240 Speaker 3: Is back, They'll be favored in every single game. 1822 01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:06,679 Speaker 1: No question. 1823 01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:09,400 Speaker 2: And I know they've got many, many more injuries than 1824 01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:13,920 Speaker 2: just Lamar, but boy, what a well timed by week 1825 01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:17,559 Speaker 2: for them. And if they get Lamar back and maybe 1826 01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:22,680 Speaker 2: a couple of their other guys and adding that friendly schedule. 1827 01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:26,320 Speaker 2: I'm I'm yeah, I'm nowhere near giving up on that team. 1828 01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:29,120 Speaker 3: You know you can't. And he understands that. They look, 1829 01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:32,160 Speaker 3: they know what it is, they know what position they're 1830 01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:37,160 Speaker 3: in that they put themselves in, and they're fully aware 1831 01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:44,240 Speaker 3: of what they need to do and what's possible. So yeah, 1832 01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:48,360 Speaker 3: I wouldn't bet. I wouldn't. Yeah, I'd say they're fine. 1833 01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:52,120 Speaker 3: I wouldn't fought hardball for making that statement. 1834 01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:56,040 Speaker 2: Well, and like again, this is how mak Any excuses 1835 01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:58,680 Speaker 2: a guy. Obviously, Lamar missed a couple of these games too, 1836 01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,200 Speaker 2: But if you do look at the Fire games they lost, 1837 01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:06,000 Speaker 2: they're not embarrassing losses. They lost at Buffalo, they lost 1838 01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:09,679 Speaker 2: at Kansas City, they lost to the Lions, and then they. 1839 01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:14,880 Speaker 1: Lost to Houston and the Rams without Lamar Jackson. I mean, 1840 01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, you got. 1841 01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:19,000 Speaker 2: To be good teams to be a good team. 1842 01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:26,400 Speaker 1: But by the same token, you know that's those are 1843 01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:26,880 Speaker 1: really good. 1844 01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:30,360 Speaker 2: Those are tough opponents that they were taking on and 1845 01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:32,080 Speaker 2: and I, like I said, a couple of them they 1846 01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:34,440 Speaker 2: did without Lamar, they weren't even able to be competitive. 1847 01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:40,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're fine, And he knows they're fine, 1848 01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:46,280 Speaker 3: and this is you know, this is what the second 1849 01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:51,839 Speaker 3: half of the season is for. So it'll be interesting 1850 01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:54,960 Speaker 3: to follow that and track that and see how they're doing. 1851 01:49:57,080 --> 01:49:59,519 Speaker 2: So that's the team I'm gonna pick that right now, 1852 01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:04,000 Speaker 2: is well on the outside looking in but still has 1853 01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:07,559 Speaker 2: a shot. You got a team that's on the inside 1854 01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:10,320 Speaker 2: looking out, but you think might fall out of this thing. 1855 01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:13,240 Speaker 3: It's a good question. 1856 01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:21,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe it's these forty nine ers. 1857 01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:25,679 Speaker 3: I'll be able to answer that after this game. 1858 01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,280 Speaker 1: But this game, this game's gonna still be going. 1859 01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:32,280 Speaker 3: When we finish well, then I mean that I have 1860 01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:33,280 Speaker 3: to answer it next week. 1861 01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:36,320 Speaker 2: You're going to have to text me. You're gonna have 1862 01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:38,920 Speaker 2: to text me. Is it the Chargers? By the way, 1863 01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:40,400 Speaker 2: it could also be the Chargers. 1864 01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:42,160 Speaker 3: No, I don't think it's the Chargers. 1865 01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:43,679 Speaker 1: No, they're all banged up. 1866 01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:45,040 Speaker 3: I know they're all banged. 1867 01:50:44,840 --> 01:50:48,679 Speaker 1: They're so banged up. You know, you know who else 1868 01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:50,439 Speaker 1: is sitting in a playoff spot right now? 1869 01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:54,120 Speaker 2: I'll tell you who the team is that's in it 1870 01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:56,759 Speaker 2: right now in the AFC technically is in a playoff 1871 01:50:56,800 --> 01:50:59,000 Speaker 2: spot right now, but I'm not putting them in the 1872 01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:03,360 Speaker 2: playoffs in the end, it is Jacksonville. Oh, it's Jacksonville, 1873 01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:07,800 Speaker 2: jackson Jacksonville four and three and uh some of the 1874 01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:10,000 Speaker 2: Chiefs but the but the Jacks beat them, so they 1875 01:51:10,040 --> 01:51:16,240 Speaker 2: got the tiebreaker there. But yeah, no, well that that 1876 01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:19,120 Speaker 2: whole thing, that four and one start was built on 1877 01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:22,680 Speaker 2: a lot of turnovers, and I just don't think it 1878 01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:26,000 Speaker 2: was very sustainable. And now we're seeing that it's not. 1879 01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:30,559 Speaker 3: Because it was like Trevor Lawrence is this coming out party? 1880 01:51:30,600 --> 01:51:33,559 Speaker 3: He'd been in the league forever, Why is he now 1881 01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:34,760 Speaker 3: coming out? 1882 01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:36,479 Speaker 1: That's fair? 1883 01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:43,479 Speaker 2: And uh, Stafford carved them up today with without puka. 1884 01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:49,960 Speaker 3: And and without any rest right because their travel itinerary 1885 01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:50,960 Speaker 3: was crazy. 1886 01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:51,799 Speaker 1: It was wild. 1887 01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:55,479 Speaker 3: You get to London the day before the game. 1888 01:51:56,439 --> 01:51:59,800 Speaker 1: Well they were in Baltimore last weekend.
