Straight Fire for Monday, September. 3 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: Oh boy, Week one in the NFL. Nearly in the books. 4 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: We got Monday Night Football Tonight, Uh Baltimore Ravens and 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: Rob G's Raiders will go with a pick at the 6 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: end of the pots. You've gotta listen to all of 7 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: it and do not just fast forward to the pick, 8 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: because I had such a damn good weekend gambling. But 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: there's so much to get to. I feel like the 10 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: gambling and the picks and all that just has to 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: just take a back seat. So much happened. I mean, 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: it was just an incredible weekend in sports. College football, 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: although Rob G gonna do a victory dance pack twelve 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: back Baby took down Ohio State, Oregon did um, but 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: the NFL has to be where we start. And yeah, 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: I've got some dad life stuff. I obviously have my 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: basketball injury that you guys care greatly about. My black eye. 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: Um rough. Anyways, it's weird. I I don't want to 19 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: say it got into a thing, but I talked with 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: Rob G about this right. NFL Week one everybody's excited 21 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: before the games, and Baker Mayfield drops a video like 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,639 Speaker 1: I don't know what robbed like two hours before kickoff, 23 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: maybe three hours before the one pm games kickoff, about 24 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: how all these people are doubting the Browns and hate 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: for Baker and Ketty do what can he get it done? 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: To the pay am they clip it off all these 27 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: TV shows where people are kind of questioning, bashing whatever, 28 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: Baker Bayfield. And it just so happens that one of 29 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Baker's top marketing guys lives in my community, and I'm 30 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: friends with him. We played soccer together, we played pick 31 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: up basketball together. He's a nice guy, good athlete too. 32 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: And I tweet out that this is why nobody, this 33 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: is why everybody who does a podcast, TV radio focuses 34 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: on the negative and sports because people pay attention. Nobody 35 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: pays attention when you say the Browns have a chance 36 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, Baker can win the m 37 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: v P. As I've said on this podcast on TV 38 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: in the last three weeks, none of that will cut 39 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: through because it's not negative. Okay, remember, if it bleeds, 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: it leads. Everybody knows that in news, if it's negative, 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna pop on social That's just how it is. 42 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: It's more willing to go viral. I bet you that 43 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: Baker video went viral, and it, I don't want to 44 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: say leads to But when the Patriots do a video 45 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: and they go and win the Super Bowl and they 46 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: cobbled together all these haters from the Patriots last season, 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: there's not They're not saying anything positive, like man Tom 48 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: Bradyson grow nothing positive. It's all negative. And I talked 49 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: with Rob about this before, I said, how should we 50 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: start this? Should we? I mean Matt Stafford was off 51 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: the hook on Sunday Night Football, Oh my gosh. And 52 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: if you guys remember when Stafford was traded. I wrote 53 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: a piece for Fox Sports that I think they are 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl team to beat in the NFC. I 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: think they could be in the super Bowl, just like 56 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: Tampa was at home for the Super Bowl Super Bowls 57 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: at so Far in February, I guess, and the Rams 58 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: could be there and they looked incredible on Sunday and 59 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: football just take it down the Bears and like nothing. 60 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: But was that the biggest story. I don't think that's 61 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: the biggest story of the weekend in the NFL. It 62 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: has to be Aaron Rodgers, doesn't it. I mean, Aaron 63 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Rodgers runs his big mouth all summer. I'm said, I 64 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: hate this. A lot of it was warranted, but all 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: I get here was all the Packers are gonna be fine. 66 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna be good. This team's loaded thirteen and three 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: the last two years. You don't just fall off a 68 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: cliff when that happens. And I have been skeptical of 69 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: the Packers leading up, saying, hey, you know what, this 70 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: is team that lost to offensive linemen in free agency, 71 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: their center, their right tackle, and their left tackles on 72 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: the shelf. Box there coming off the injury and man Packers, 73 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not feeling this team being as 74 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: dominant as last year. I didn't, however, think that they 75 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: would go into the opener against the Saints and get 76 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: their rear ends just blasted thirty eight to three. Game 77 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: was in Jacksonville, but it was over by halftime. The 78 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers with as gutless of performance as you 79 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: will find in a season opener for a team coming 80 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: off an NFC championship appearance. Uh Hall of Fame quarterback. 81 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they were awful. They could not move the 82 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: football forty three yards rushing behind that beleaguered offensive line 83 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: got into the red zone twice over two three turnovers. 84 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was not sharp, folks. They average four point 85 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: four yards per play. This is the greatest offense in 86 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: the league last year, one for ten on third down. 87 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: I guess the Saints defensive was down five guys. And 88 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: I saw somebody chart this on on social media that 89 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: the Saints in their opener, we're missing Michael Thomas, their 90 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: best receiver, their kicker out there. Uh, the quarterback they 91 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: just traded for Bradley Roby, who's good. He's suspended. Their 92 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: number two quarterback Crawley coming into the season. He was out. Um, 93 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: there may be their number three receiver, Smith, the small guy. 94 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: He was out their defensive tackle on your Maana, he 95 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: was out like they were down a ton of guys. 96 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: And I know people are gonna say, Jason, you gotta 97 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: eat crow. On Jamis Winston. Listen, Jameis Winston was fantastic. 98 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: I mean, first player in NFL history to throw five 99 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: touchdown passes despite throwing for fewer than a hundred fifty yards. Yeah, 100 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: David Winston was amazing. Listen. He didn't make mistakes. He 101 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: only threw into triple coverage once it was intercepted. But 102 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: a flag, a bad flag, um waved off the pick. 103 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: Uh and listen, Jamis Winston. He got the job done. 104 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: Four for four in the red zone. You couldn't ask 105 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: for much more. He won with his legs. He played 106 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: it safe. I mean, Jamis rush for thirty seven yards, 107 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: basically saying you know what, hey, Uh, this whole taste 108 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: of Mill thing, We're good. We don't need him in 109 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: your running taste. Mill two carries one yard, Jamis six 110 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: for thirty seven. I just I don't want people going 111 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: crazy about the Saints here. I don't. They had one 112 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: explosive play, the fifty yard five yard touchdown to Deonte Harris. 113 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: Everything else was fifteen yards or fewer. That's it. This 114 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: was not now. This was a great game plan from 115 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Is just sustainable for seventeen games. I'm gonna 116 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: say no. But Aaron Rodgers was hideous in this. They 117 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: they played Jordan's Love. I believe the entire fourth quarter 118 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: you got a glimpse of the future of the Green 119 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: Bay Packers. It wasn't pretty. Uh. Aaron Jones had no 120 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: room to operate five carries, nine yards, Davante Adams, who 121 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: was supposed to tear up um A. Lottimore who was 122 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: injured a lot of more played Adams did nothing. I mean, guys, 123 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: this was I mean the green Bay Packers favored by 124 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: four four and a half. I think it came down 125 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: to three and a half. They lost thirty eight to three. 126 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: And all these people want to hype Matt la Fleurs, 127 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: this great coach because he went thirteen and three for 128 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 1: two straight years. Like, let's pump the brakes. For whatever reason, 129 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: this green Bay team has come out and when they 130 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: lay a dud, it's like an epic dud. It's like 131 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: they go bigger, go home. That's basically how green Bay 132 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: operates when they're really really really good or my gosh, 133 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: they're terrible, and all the decision making his question, they 134 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: just didn't look into it. I don't know about you, rob. 135 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: My takeaway from this, I don't think green Bay is 136 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: this bad. Remember the rule number one in NFL Week one, 137 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: nobody is as bad or as good as they looked 138 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: the week prior. But for green Bay to come out 139 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: go thirteen yards punt, eight yards punt, then they got 140 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: the field goal and their defense to allow the Saints 141 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: Sean Payton, genius, underrated, should not have overlooked him. Payton 142 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: goes field goal, touchdown, touchdown, and we're talking seven minute, 143 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: fifty one second drive, ten minute eight yard drive like 144 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: it was a masterpiece. I give Sean Payton more credit. 145 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Winston, he did a good job. Is 146 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: this sustainable? We'll see. I personally don't think it is. 147 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people. Do you cannot diminish 148 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: in any way shape or four? Five touchdowns? I mean, 149 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: the guy had fourteen completions five more touchdowns. Now. I 150 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: don't know about Rob g but I was scrambling over 151 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: my wife, my two kids to get Juwan Johnson, whoever 152 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: that is in fantasy football, three targets, two touchdowns. Um. 153 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: By the way, I since you care about fantasy, my 154 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: son's two teams too, and oh I went to in one. Uh. 155 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: It was an awesome fantasy weekend, great gambling weekend, and 156 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: great NFL weekend. Um. So I'm not gonna go overboard 157 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: on the Packers. The other reason, as we talked about 158 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: leading up to the season, Green Bay listen, the schedule 159 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: is difficult this week, however, it's not they hosted Detroit Lions. Lions, 160 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: of course, we're getting their doors blown off by Fort 161 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: made it respectable. At the end, Dan Campbell's teams are 162 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: gonna fight like if if nothing. Dan Campbell's teams are 163 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: gonna fight. You know who they remind me of. Remember 164 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: de Niro in Cape Fear where he's doing the hospital job. 165 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: Uh and they said three guys to take him out 166 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: in the back alley. Um DeNiro just he's getting destroyed 167 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: and he keeps fighting and eventually comes back and wins. Eventually, 168 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell and the lines are gonna pull one of 169 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: these off, I don't think. Next Monday Night against an 170 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: angry Aaron Rodgers, I'm sure we're gonna see a ton 171 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: of stats this week. Aaron Rodgers off a loss and 172 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: Rodgers off a thirty point loss, We're gonna see all that. 173 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: But just as a reminder, if you thought the Saints 174 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: defense was tough, after the line comes the Niners comes 175 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Green Bay is staring at a one in 176 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: three start to the season. And just remember late October 177 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: they got Arizona and then they got Kansas City, they 178 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: got Seattle. That's Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson back 179 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: to back to back. I'm just saying this is gonna 180 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: be a tough season for the Packers. I think they 181 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: win the division, which is very bad. You saw the 182 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: Vikings just totally blow it. Uh So the Bears get 183 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: crushed and the Lions are the Lions, So the Packers 184 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: are gonna be fine. This is not a UM sound 185 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: the alarm worried about the Packers. As long as Rogers 186 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: is healthy, they should roll to this division, even if 187 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: that means eleven wins. UM. But in terms of the 188 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: biggest gutless performance in the opener, without a doubt, the 189 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, ROB. I don't am I being too 190 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: harsh on Aaron Rodgers. It is just four quarters. Guys 191 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: got an impressive, uh you know, thirty year body of 192 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: work as a quarterback in sports. UM. I wouldn't say 193 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: you're being too hard on him. I will say that 194 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers did not do him any do himself any 195 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: favors with his performance on Sunday. You can't have the 196 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: kind of off season that he had where he made 197 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: it all about what the team wasn't doing for him, 198 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: how he should be more involved. How the front office 199 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: is sketchy and they're not doing things the right way 200 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: and for all of that to take place, and the 201 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: one thing that he can control, the one thing that 202 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: does not involve the front office, this is Aaron Rodgers 203 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: on the field to perform the way that he did. Now, 204 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people want to point out 205 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: the offensive line, and their offensive line didn't have a 206 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: good game. They could not run the ball to save 207 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: their lives. They had two rookie starting and a left 208 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: guard who had moved over to left tackle because box 209 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: tr is still on the I R. So they couldn't 210 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: run the ball. He wasn't protected very well. But on 211 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: the times where he did have time to throw the football, 212 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: he was four or fifteen when he had more than 213 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: two and a half seconds. Both of his interceptions came 214 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: when he had more than two and half seconds to 215 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: the football. So he kind of got into a lot 216 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: of those bad habits. I want to say it's a 217 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: bad habit because Aaron Rodgers so great, he doesn't really 218 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: have bad habits, but to the extent that he does. 219 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: One of them that he does have is that he'll 220 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: sometimes go for the kill shot. Rather than take the 221 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: four yard out, He'll he'll hold an extra second, try 222 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: to get that fifteen seventeen yard crossing route, try to 223 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: hit that deep post, rather than just take the swing pass. 224 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: Take three yards, go to the next down. And it 225 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: seemed like once they started to fall behind early and 226 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: he saw that they could not run the ball, he's 227 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: he's like, I gotta make a play. I gotta make 228 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: some happen. I gotta extend this play. I gotta hold 229 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: it in the pocket, nextra next, just an extra beat 230 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: makes them happen. And that's where he got into trouble. 231 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: And so I'm sure you know, like you said, thankfully, 232 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: they get Detroit next week, so I think that they'll 233 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: get right in that game. But it was not a 234 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: good start. And listen, I'm not going to kill the defense. 235 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: It was bad, but this is worth noting. The game 236 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: was relocated to Jacksonville, and it was almost as Sean 237 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: Sean Payton was just totally coached the Flora into a 238 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: body bag. Sean Payton said, we're gonna ground this out early. 239 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: Where down the defense it was I believe eighty three degrees, 240 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: very humid on the field, but if you look at 241 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: those drives early. They kept the Green Bay defense on 242 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: the field forever. Tons of tons of long drives early, 243 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: wore them down and that just made things easy for 244 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: Jamis in the second half, even when he's doing bootlegs 245 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: and the short passes, it's all wide up. The defense 246 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: was gassed. Sean Payton, I mean, just goat stuff. I 247 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: just want you to follow this away. I'm not going 248 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: along on it today. We have plenty of time this week. 249 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: That heat in Florida is key. Okay. The Buffalo Bills 250 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: who lost at home to Pittsburgh, we'll get to them shortly. 251 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: They go to Miami in the heat. Historically, Miami has 252 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: had a big advantage at home in September. I'll have 253 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: the numbers for you later this week. Anybody who thinks 254 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are automatically gonna bounce back going into 255 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: that heat, it needs to wake up. It's not a 256 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: lock that the Bills go down to Miami, get the 257 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: win and go to and start to a oh and 258 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: now you and it's a big game because if Miami 259 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: goes up to with two division wins and the Bills 260 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: are all into with losses to Pittsburgh and Miami, things 261 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: are gonna quickly get interesting in the a f C East. Um, 262 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: I don't know Rob too, should we just I don't 263 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: want to buzz through every game. I don't want to 264 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: board people. I mean I if you ask me, hell yeah, 265 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: I've got thoughts in every game. Fox Sports Radio has 266 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all 267 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and 268 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: within the I Heart Radio app search f s R 269 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: to listen live. I do think Matt Stafford would be 270 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: on the tea box after Aaron Rodgers put one in 271 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: the water. Uh, Matt Stafford was as advertise, folks, I 272 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,119 Speaker 1: mean he was awesome and that Rams team looks scary. Um, 273 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: the Bears defense is just it's not your older brother 274 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: Bears defense Khalil mac led team. I think it was 275 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: three years ago where they came out of nowhere and 276 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: won the division. Uh, they were incredible and that defense 277 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: just got torched. Matt Stafford just adds another dimension. This 278 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: is stuff we've been talking about for weeks. You guys 279 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: should know this. You should have Rams super Bowl futures. 280 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: You know that Stafford really really opens things up, Like 281 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: McVeigh has unlocked an entire new area of his playbook 282 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: that he just could not do with golf. And this 283 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: is not a knock on golf, it's just the arm strength. 284 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this kid Van Jefferson hit in stride by 285 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: Stafford on like a I don't know, he must have 286 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: put that fifty yards on a rope touchdown Cooper Cup. 287 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean, like this guy Robert Woods like barely got 288 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: any act. This Bram's offense is scary. Um. I know 289 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: the Bears were hanging around, hanging around um and the 290 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: Rams run defense not as polished as as as it 291 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: was last year. So they were had a little bit 292 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: by David Montgomery who looks spry, um. But Andy Dalton 293 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: is never gonna be that guy. Uh. He just doesn't 294 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: strike fear into any defense. They they take a they 295 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: take the kickback, I think like seventy five yards opening kick, 296 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, okay, and then Justin Fields with 297 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: a nice conversion and you're like, wow, Bears in business. 298 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: And then Andy Dalton makes this terrible pass. It's tipped 299 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: and picked in the end zone and that was that. Um. 300 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: So Stafford and the Rams look awesome. The Bears are 301 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: most certainly not a playoff team. Not even close. Their 302 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: offensive line just got crushed. Uh Andy Dalton sacked three times. Um, 303 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: basically they were just in his grill. No time to 304 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: throw aer Donald wrecking shop. It's a really good Rams defense. Um, Rob, 305 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: What would you say was the third biggest takeaway? I 306 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: mean I could go hyperbole hyperbolic. Kyler Murray MVP futures. Um, 307 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: don't laugh. What are you laughing for? It's just it's wild. 308 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what you have. Kyler Murder. Okay, five 309 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: time out. Kyler Murray last year had the Cardinals, I 310 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: believe it's six and two or seven and three. They 311 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: were rolling and he was like a top five MVP 312 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: guy when you look at the odds. Then he had 313 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: the injury and he was not the same quarterback since 314 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: he just if you remember the Patriots game, Belichick schemed 315 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: up a new way to kind of contain him in 316 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: the pocket because you saw against the Titans, when he 317 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: gets outside the pocket, it's game over. He couldn't. He 318 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: was not his mobile last year against the Patriots and 319 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: he was in Foxboro like an idiot. I bet the 320 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: Cardinals Murray was like, maybe could not run and without 321 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: that dimension, and if you lock down Hopkins. They were 322 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: nothing last year. Hello, they have more options this year. 323 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds looked good. James Conner looks solid. Um Murray 324 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: did not run as much, but it was an option 325 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: every time he drops back to bass and Christian Kirk 326 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: looked very good. Rondale Moore, Hello, A J. Green had 327 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: six targets. Folks, this is a good offense. And rob 328 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: if Wilson Chandler I'm sorry basketball Chandler Jones. If Chandler Jones, 329 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: who was it that came on our pod last week? 330 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: It might have been Brad Powers. Somebody came on and 331 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: was like, you know, Chandler Jones is not happy um 332 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: which his contract? He was complaining like a month ago. 333 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: The folks, Chanleler Jones went out and had five sacks, 334 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: four tackles for lost, two forced fumbles. One of the 335 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: great performances you will see. Taylor Lawan, the left tackle 336 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: turnstile who basically Chandler Jones just humiliated all afternoon, did 337 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: not talk to the reporters afterward, ducked him like a coward, 338 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: and then basically put out like some social media post 339 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: about how upset he he's he let the team down. 340 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: He got absolutely eviscerated. Chandler Jones basically, give me all 341 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: the money, um and that card If the Cardinals defense 342 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: is remotely that good, half that good, this is a 343 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: ten eleven twelve team, you guys know, I like the 344 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals that picked them to get to the postseason. Six 345 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: sacks of Tannehill five by Chandler Jones. So I mean, 346 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: like I think Kyler Mrie uh m VP futures are real. 347 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go overboard with the seventies and many sixes. 348 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: Look another basketball reference. I'm not gonna go overboard with 349 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: the Eagles pounding the falcons. Um. You know. The Kansas 350 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: City Cleveland game was interesting. Baker Mayfield and the Browns 351 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: come up short again against Patrick Mahomes. My big takeaway is, Man, 352 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: Cleveland is close, aren't they? Rob? I mean this, I'm 353 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: just I'm just not going overboard. I completely disagree with 354 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: you on Cleveland. Completely disagree with you on Cleveland. You 355 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: don't think they're close. I do not. I think that 356 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: they are a very good, rock solid team, but I 357 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: do not think that they are close to a super Bowl. 358 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that they are a legitimate contender for 359 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. I think that they are the equivalent 360 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: of what the Minnesota Vikings were like three years ago. 361 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: They're a very good team, they're very solid. They they're 362 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: gonna win ten eleven games. But when it going gets 363 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: tough and it gets down to the nitty gritty, they 364 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: are not quote unquote that guy. So they lad the 365 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs for the first fifty three minutes UM and then 366 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: gave up a late Kelsey touchdown. They were rolling twenty 367 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: two to ten uh at halftime, and in the second half. 368 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: I don't totally know what happened. Offensively, it did not 369 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: look good. It was like one of those like slow 370 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: motion car crashes. You can see it kind of happening, 371 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: like uh. Three plays. So they had um Nick Chubb 372 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: fumbled obviously that led to a field goal. UM. The 373 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: Browns did get a touchdown. Then they got um turnover 374 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: on downs. Um, it looks like it was oh no, no, 375 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't. It's in the box core turnover on downs. 376 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: But it was a punt mistake, punt mishappy. There was 377 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: a bad snap. So the Chiefs basically won seventy yard 378 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: touchdown to Tyreek Hill just a crazy throw by Mahomes. 379 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: Browns come out go backwards special teams MISQ you Chiefs 380 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: fifteen yard drive, so you have two touchdowns in the 381 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: span of just a matter of moments, and then the 382 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: Browns punt and then the Baker pick, which was unfortunate. 383 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't see how on earth you could possibly read 384 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: this as um, the Browns are not closed, they robb 385 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: are you ready for this? They averaged order under Stefanski 386 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield eight point two yards per play, rolled 387 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: up and down the field, four or fifty seven yards 388 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: of total offense, four for four in the red zone. Essentially, 389 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: they lose the turnover battle to nothing. The special team's 390 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: mishap really killed him. And that's a wrap. I mean, 391 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: they were they were the better team on the field 392 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: than the Chiefs. Am I supposed to be impressed. I mean, look, 393 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: look as great as the Chiefs are, and and and 394 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: I think that you might even know this, that you 395 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: might even want who gave it to me? Last season? 396 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: The Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City Chiefs, I believe, on 397 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: the year, went sixteen and three, like it was something ridiculous. 398 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: You know what they were against the spread their to 399 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: eleven games two and nine. All right, So this is 400 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: what they do. They play every team close, but they 401 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: have Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey, so 402 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: they find a way to win at the end of 403 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: every game. Okay. And and so this is what I'm 404 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: saying what I mean when I talk about the Browns 405 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: comparing to the Vikings a few years back. Their defense 406 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: is very good, solid, They're running game is outstanding. Their 407 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: quarterback is just okay, all right now, when it got 408 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: back and you mentioned that whole exchange where it was 409 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: the Tyreek Hill long touchdown, the Nick chub of fumble. Okay, 410 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: so once things start to get get Harry, you have 411 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: that one play yard Tyreek Hill touchdown three and out 412 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: three and out interception. Because when the going gets tough 413 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: and you've got to count on your quarterback to get 414 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: you out of these situations, Baker Mayfield is not the 415 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: kind of guy you can put on his right shoulder 416 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: and get you out of these games. Didn't it look 417 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: like he was trying to throw it away and he 418 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: just couldn't. It was like that's I think that's what 419 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: happened to twa as well, who got the Patriots and 420 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: at Patriots Mike toughest loss in the four million dollar 421 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: gambling contest. I got a great staff for you in 422 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: a second, But I mean, okay, that's fair, Rob. I'm 423 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: just saying, get your Baker shots out now. Nine of 424 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: their ten next opponents did not make the playoffs last year. 425 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: They you know that you want to guess the spread? 426 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've looked. Do you want to 427 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: guess the spread? At Brown's Texans this week? Texas coming 428 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: off a beat out of Trevor Lawrence Brown's at Texans 429 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: minus tom Sorry, Texans at Browns Texans aph Okay, Brown's 430 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: minus eight, Brown's minus twelve. Oh jesus, are you betting 431 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: the Texans on the road? They say, no, rookie quarterback, 432 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: twelve points is a lot to give up in an 433 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: NFL game. I may have to leave David Colley and 434 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: the boys in that way. Oh my god, the Texas 435 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: quarter coach. I can't believe that. Then they play the 436 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: Bears who got dump truck by the Rams, and they 437 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: pay the Vikings who got run over by Joe Burrow Chargers. Chargers, 438 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: Chargers are sneaky. Um damn it, Rob, I just want 439 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: to go through every game, but we're not. Okay, we're not. Um, 440 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: we're not gonna talk Seahawks. That was an easy lay up. UM. 441 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: I just want to give you one and and I 442 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: just have to give you guys a stat from Washington. 443 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: I know, I got a bunch of people from d 444 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: C who listened to this. I got buddies and you 445 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: guys like Washington, and you're excited. I don't want to 446 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: hear Wolford Patrick got hurt. Like Taylor heneck is not 447 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: that much of a drop off from Fitzpatrick of all 448 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: the teams who had like the you know, but like 449 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: you watch a game and then you go to the 450 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: box score and sometimes they don't line up. Guys. The 451 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: Chargers moved the ball so easily against this Washington defense 452 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: so overrated. Are you ready for this? At the vaunted 453 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: Washington d Chargers had twenty seven first downs. They were 454 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: third down the money down fourteen of nineteen on third down, okay, 455 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: they were in the red zone six times. The Chargers 456 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: moved the ball. I will against his vaunt of defense. Now, 457 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: I think some of it is Washington is not. The 458 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: defense is not as good, but some of it is. 459 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: The Chargers are really good, folks. They were only two 460 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: for six in the red zone. And that is the 461 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: kind of thing that hurts. And you saw I'm sure 462 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: Rob the justin Herbert uh incomplete past that they ruled 463 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: a fumble out of the end zone. That I mean, 464 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: that play was total garbage, I absolute hogwash. And that 465 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: was on Herbert, Folks. This is a really, really good 466 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: Chargers team. Um, Mike al Mike Williams was on my 467 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: fantasy bench. He had a monster game. Keenan Allen, Austin 468 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: Nakeler wasn't even listen. I don't care if it's Taylor Heineke, 469 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: Ryan fitz Patrick, This Washington team, it's just it's just 470 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: ain't as good. Now. They get the Giants this week 471 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: on Thursday Night. That's gonna be ghastly. We'll talk about 472 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: that eventually, but I just just file it away. The 473 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: Chargers are really good guys, like scary good. Against the 474 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: elite top five defense from last year, they just went 475 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: through it like Swiss cheese. I disagree, man, I disagree again. Look, 476 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: the Chargers look like every single Chargers team I've seen 477 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: in the last five years. They got all of this 478 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: talent up and down the roster. You mentioned at fourteen 479 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: of nineteen on third down, So why the how they 480 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: scored twenty points? There's just always there's something there that 481 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: just it doesn't quite add up, where it's like you 482 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: look at the roster, you look at the talent, you 483 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: look at their ability to do certain things, and you're like, 484 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: why aren't they Why aren't you better than your record? 485 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: You know? And I feel like they could be one 486 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: of those teams where fantasy wise, like the Dallas Cowboys, 487 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: they are fantastic because Justin Herbert's and Monster Keenan Allen 488 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 1: might be the best route runner in the NFL, and 489 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: they'll still find a way to finish like nine and 490 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: seven or excuse me, what what is it now? Nine 491 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: and eight? Nine and eight? So in the red zone, 492 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, a bogus fumble that should have been an incompletion, 493 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: a pick in the red zone by Herbert, and they 494 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: had to settle for two field goals. Um, field goals 495 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: are gonna beat the Kansas City Chiefs. We know that 496 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: you want to beat the Chiefs. Um, I'm gonna put 497 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: the Bills on a second tier. You don't want to 498 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: go overboard a week one, I've said that like a 499 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: dozen times now.

Uh? And Urban Meyer? 505 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: And I don't want to go overboard. Somebody did text 506 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: me over the weekend at Jason poke around on what's 507 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,479 Speaker 1: going on in Urban Meyer and Jacksonville. Um, apparently like 508 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: just things are not going well there. I'll just I'll 509 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: leave it at that. I I want to put out 510 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: unconfirmed rumors and people come after me and get all angry. Um. 511 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: I learned my lesson on that one many times, including 512 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: recently with the New York Giants coach getting in a 513 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: fist fight with his offensive line coach, which was I. 514 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: It said many times it actually happened, and other people 515 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: who backed me up on that, and it's never been 516 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: truly debunked by anybody credible that doesn't kiss the ass 517 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: of the Giants? Can I put out an unconfirmed rumor? Okay, 518 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: so as you know one of the it was a 519 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: good weekend overall for the pack Ralph It was a 520 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: bad weekend. Though, Oh oh, I might have heard this, Okay, 521 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: well I don't. I don't know if you have, but 522 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: this is something that I've heard. I've heard, you know 523 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: for a couple of years now that Clayhelland has kind 524 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: of been on thin ice. It's not really been a secret. 525 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why he did keep his 526 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: job is because of the whole academic scandal that they 527 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: had there, and they wanted to show some stability, and 528 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: they wanted to keep a guy who seemed to be 529 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: like a good guy in position there as their head 530 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: football coach. It's also no secret that a lot of 531 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: the big money boosters around the program have their eyes 532 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: on one Urban Meyer. So if things go downhill like 533 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: I expect them to do, I know you expect them 534 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: to go worst the first than the a f C South. 535 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: So maybe you don't have this file the way like 536 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: I do. But if they flounder this season, and by 537 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: all accounts the way they looked against Houston, that doesn't 538 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: seem like it's out of the round of possibility. Don't 539 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: be surprised if Urban is one and done in Jacksonville 540 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: and he becomes the head guide at USC. That would 541 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: that would be a stunner. I mean, but although we've 542 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: seen college coaches leave before, Nick Saban Miami to Alabama 543 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 1: again unconfirmed rumors, So no aggregate or nothing like that. 544 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: This is just some scuttle butt. Um, interesting that you 545 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: heard stuff. I'm googling this guy right now to see 546 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: if anything is there. No, okay, Um, USC can't fire 547 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: Helton because right now they can't get a president. What's 548 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: going on the president situation of USC? All these lawsuits 549 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: um stemming from the the the aunt Becky from full House, 550 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: you know all that stuff. Yeah, I mean I've heard about. 551 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what's going on. So they can't 552 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: like who's going to who's going to step up and 553 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: and and fire the head coach? Like there's so much 554 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: money at stake, with the payouts that apparently they without, 555 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: with their president's situation up in flux, they can't do 556 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: anything with Helton. But apparently a bunch of former players 557 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: one and this isn't this is not a name I expected. 558 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: I just googled. He did not graduate from USC. But 559 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: the name that's come up as Byron Leftwich. Now I 560 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: don't really know what the what the connection is between 561 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: Byron Leftwich UM and usc ut. He is a guy 562 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: who's currently the offensive coordinator of the Buccaneers, working with 563 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Um Uh. Byron left went to Marshall interesting, 564 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: I don't know why where his name's coming from, but 565 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: to me, that name is so out of left field, 566 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: right Rob, that it's like, oh, maybe there's something there. 567 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: Exactly when it's something that's so random, you're like, Okay, 568 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: there's one that might be more legitimate than some of 569 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: the obvious names. Yeah. So anyways, now USC obviously an 570 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: embarrassing lost to Stanford. Holy hell, that was bad. But 571 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: Rob g, if you want to take a couple of 572 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: minutes to just go off the rails on your Oregon 573 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: Ducks and u c l A and how they're dominating 574 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: big conference power teams and the West is rising it 575 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: all obviously dovetails to me coming out here right five 576 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: years ago, Lebron followed me out here, um, and now 577 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: the PAC twelve is waking up all that stuff. Look, man, 578 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: as you know, you know, there's no more physical conference 579 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: in college football than than the Pac twelve. We saw 580 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: what U c l A ran through the sc C 581 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: an LSU, and then we saw Oregon run rough shot 582 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: over the Big ten's best in Ohio State. Had Colorado 583 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: had any kind of quarterback, maybe even maybe even like 584 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: a third string backup from U C l A or 585 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: something like that, because we've got so many great players there, 586 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: they would have taken down number five Texas A and 587 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: M and then and also ran in Stanford go aheads 588 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: and smashes USC. Like if if you didn't know by now, 589 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: the Pack twelve needs to be taken seriously when it 590 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,959 Speaker 1: comes to college football playoffs. It's not the SEC Invitational 591 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: anymore because if you were just go on what you've 592 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: seen on the field, I don't know how you can 593 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: say that anyone outside of what maybe Obama and Georgia, 594 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: that there have been more impressive performances than what U. 595 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: C l A did to LSU and Oregon to Ohio State. 596 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: So I hope you're I hope you're ready to definitely 597 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: think they're gonna get in the playoff. I can't remember 598 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: the last Pac twelve team to make the playoffs. Do 599 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: I think that the it would be Oregon? Do I 600 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: think that they should? I mean, assuming that they both 601 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: Oregon and UC they do play each other, so that's 602 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. But assuming that one of them goes 603 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: eleven and one or undefeated, they should be in there. 604 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: But the problem is, and you know this working in media, 605 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: and it's it's not just about who deserves to be there, 606 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: it's about who's gonna get the most money. And I 607 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: could totally see them taking Clemson, who beats nobody this 608 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: whole season, but they run the table in a week 609 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: A c C getting to the championship, are getting to 610 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: the playoff. I could see three sc SEC teams because 611 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: Alabama's gonna run the table. Oh, Georgie's only loss was 612 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: to Alabama, and you know Florida makes his good money. 613 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be something like that. So I 614 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: think that if anybody who's watched these games and not 615 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: just looking at the rankings, they'll tell you that the 616 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: pack twelve of the this season. So I think that 617 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: they should have a great chance to get in the playoffs. 618 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: You know, college Week one in college football was awesome, 619 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: gambling on this podcast. Get Week two was not. Toledo 620 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: did come through, which was nice, but um, I'm trying 621 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: to look at the Week three. Listen. I love college football, 622 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: it's fun, but the NFL. Once the games start, there's 623 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: just so much happening. Rob. I don't know about you, 624 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: but I mean, like my son played in his first 625 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: um AU basketball tournament over the weekend and they had 626 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 1: a game Sunday morning, and I'm usually posted up at 627 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: my house Red Zone, computer, fantasy gambling, Second TV all that, 628 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: and I had to be on the road. Now, Luckily 629 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: there's this thing called like a Apple iPhone which is 630 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: kind of cool, and you can watch Red Zone and 631 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: then you can get Red Zone on your computer and 632 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: there's WiFi. Like it was. It was amazing. We didn't 633 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: really miss anything. Um, but I just wasn't as active 634 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 1: on social media. But like, what's the NFL's hitting. It's 635 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: just like so much is happening with the fantasy and 636 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: the gambling. I don't know about you, but, um, I'm 637 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: assuming your fantasy teams went well. Yeah, considering that I 638 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: had to start Ryan Fitzpatrick who got me point seven 639 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: two points after he got hurt, and you still want. 640 00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: I still want because the guy was going against it, 641 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, who got like one point five points. It 642 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: all worked out. But yeah, no, I hear you, and 643 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: and even in this podcast, we know we we probably 644 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: talk more college football than anybody that's not a specific 645 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,879 Speaker 1: college football pod. And even then you mentioned we had 646 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: there was some great games. This weekend, we're carving out 647 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: what four minutes, five minutes the college football because the 648 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: NFL it is uh the looking Ahead Arizona State b 649 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: y U is one of the only game, um, one 650 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: of the only matchups with right teams, Auburn Penn State. 651 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: Like that's just not like planned my Saturday night around it. Um. 652 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: And then the other one, of course, Alabama Florida in Gainesville, 653 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, maybe Florida has a chance, Like, no, 654 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: the spread is fifteen and a half and more than 655 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: likely I'm going to be back in Alabama and that one. Uh. 656 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: So college football is great, we love it, uh, but 657 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: the NFL is just so flipping awesome. The only thing 658 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: better than sitting on your couch watching the game is 659 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: making money while you do it. Here's your best bat 660 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: in the four million dollar contest. I went three and 661 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: one and I have the Ravens tonight, Um, the lone 662 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,360 Speaker 1: loss was the Patriots. Pretty tists ticked off about that. Nevertheless, 663 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: you gotta move on, you know, um to channel ted 664 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: last so you gotta have the memory of a goldfish. 665 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: I'm done. I gotta forget about the three and one. 666 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 1: It's Ravens tonight. So I'm obviously taking the Ravens. Given 667 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: the Marcus Peters news, given the gust the bus news, 668 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: a lot of people are backing the um. Oh Las 669 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders here, a lot of the public is all 670 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: over the Vegas Raiders. The lines come down a little, 671 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: but again it was kind of a dead zone, like 672 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: five five and a half. It's down at like four 673 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: or four and a half. I just want to remind 674 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: you Rob John Harbaugh five and oh straight up five 675 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: and oh against the spread in the last five years 676 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: in openers, I think they beat the Dolphins at one 677 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,720 Speaker 1: of those, like fifty six seven. They beat the Browns 678 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: last year, Like they come in paired. Um, they go 679 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: into the preseason like really prepared to win and dominate, 680 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 1: and like that's what they've been doing. I know they're 681 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: beat up. I you know, the trenches are where it's at, 682 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: and I just I have no faith in the Vegas Raiders. 683 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: UM in the trenches. I'm sure car will keep it close. 684 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: But I I took the Ravens and UM I need 685 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: them to win by five or more. Okay, when the 686 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: line was at five, I bet the Raiders. Since it's 687 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 1: gone down to four, I'm less confident, especially given that 688 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: we found out late Sunday that Josh Jacob is questionable 689 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: with an illness, and I didn't start him in fantasy 690 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: because it was it was trending that way during the week. Um, like, 691 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: who's that was that? Mean? Is this gonna be the 692 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake show. I think if Josh Jacobs does not play, 693 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily gonna be a Kenyan Drake show. It's 694 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a Derek Carr show. Or he's just gonna 695 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: have to throw the ball over the field. And especially 696 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: the way that Baltimore runs the ball, and they just 697 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: take these seven eight nine minute drives like it's nothing. 698 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: You're gonna see John Gruden and Derek Carr kind of 699 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 1: panic and just abandon the run altogether and try to 700 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: throw their way into it, which kind of plays right 701 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: into what Baltimore does because they suffocate you on offense 702 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: and on defense you you feel like you need to 703 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: throw to keep up with them. And then they got 704 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: some of the best ball hawks in the secondary. So 705 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: I do think that it's gonna be a close game. 706 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: But um I I don't like the the four points 707 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: for the Raiders. I had it at five. So if 708 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: it's we're sticking with the five points spread, give me 709 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: the Raiders. But if it's the four, which it currently 710 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 1: is as of right now, then I gotta go with Baltimore. 711 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry we couldn't talk more about the Jets. I 712 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: know you guys want my thoughts on the Mormon mahomes. 713 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 1: It's a long week and frankly, the Jets head wait, 714 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: I got I have it in my notes here. Thirties 715 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: seven yards of total offense in the first half. No, no, 716 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: the Steelers in the first half had thirty seven yards. 717 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: My Jets in the first half had a whopping sixty 718 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: two yards of offense. That ain't gonna get it done. 719 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for today's pod. Enjoy Monday 720 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: Night football. We'll back tomorrow. We'll talk to you then. 721 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: M
