He is 18 00:01:20,348 --> 00:01:24,948 Speaker 1: at Empire Empower Field at Mile High, the home of 19 00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:26,588 Speaker 1: There's a night football, a game you're gonna see on 20 00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:30,628 Speaker 1: Prime video NFL plus James Palmer. Interesting dynamic here, both teams. 21 00:01:30,628 --> 00:01:32,748 Speaker 1: They're going to hit the field tonight without their main 22 00:01:32,868 --> 00:01:36,188 Speaker 1: ball carriers. Both Jonathan Taylor and Javontay Williams are on 23 00:01:36,228 --> 00:01:38,788 Speaker 1: the sideline. What type of adjustments are we looking for 24 00:01:39,188 --> 00:01:43,988 Speaker 1: from both sides tonight, Jamie. It's interesting, right, You're not 25 00:01:44,028 --> 00:01:46,028 Speaker 1: going to see Jonathan Taylor due to injury for the 26 00:01:46,108 --> 00:01:49,028 Speaker 1: first time in his career in the NFL and in 27 00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:51,948 Speaker 1: college out with that sprained ankle, and we know that 28 00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:53,348 Speaker 1: he is one of the best running backs in all 29 00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:55,628 Speaker 1: of football. Won the rushing Triple Crown a season ago, 30 00:01:55,668 --> 00:01:58,668 Speaker 1: but this year completely different story. They're twenty seventh in 31 00:01:58,788 --> 00:02:00,708 Speaker 1: rushing and everybody I've talked to you in Indianapolis, I 32 00:02:00,748 --> 00:02:03,108 Speaker 1: did their game against the Chiefs a few weeks back. 33 00:02:03,148 --> 00:02:05,148 Speaker 1: It is the offensive line and that is causing a 34 00:02:05,148 --> 00:02:07,028 Speaker 1: lot of the problems. And they put more money into 35 00:02:07,068 --> 00:02:09,748 Speaker 1: that offensive line than any other team in all of football, 36 00:02:09,788 --> 00:02:12,628 Speaker 1: and they're underperforming affecting this run game that now is 37 00:02:12,668 --> 00:02:15,868 Speaker 1: going to have two maybe undersized backs and him Hinz 38 00:02:15,908 --> 00:02:18,748 Speaker 1: and Philip Lindsay his return to Denver being the backs 39 00:02:18,948 --> 00:02:21,668 Speaker 1: for the Indianapolis Cults. And then you mentioned Javonte Williams. 40 00:02:21,668 --> 00:02:24,148 Speaker 1: The Broncos felt heading into this season he wasn't just 41 00:02:24,148 --> 00:02:26,108 Speaker 1: going to be a breakout running back for them. They 42 00:02:26,108 --> 00:02:28,428 Speaker 1: thought he was going to be merging as a star 43 00:02:28,588 --> 00:02:31,228 Speaker 1: in the NFL this season, but has the ACL injury, 44 00:02:31,388 --> 00:02:33,428 Speaker 1: and now it is Melvin Gordon. I'm told that is 45 00:02:33,428 --> 00:02:36,468 Speaker 1: expected to be the bell cow moving forward this season. 46 00:02:36,508 --> 00:02:38,788 Speaker 1: We know that he has five fumbles in his last 47 00:02:38,828 --> 00:02:40,868 Speaker 1: five games, But when I've talked to people kind of 48 00:02:40,908 --> 00:02:43,068 Speaker 1: close to him, they say a little bit of it 49 00:02:43,108 --> 00:02:45,028 Speaker 1: is mental, a little bit of it is not getting 50 00:02:45,068 --> 00:02:47,108 Speaker 1: in that rhythm early. And remember when he was splitting 51 00:02:47,148 --> 00:02:49,748 Speaker 1: carries back with Austin Eckler even with the Chargers. He 52 00:02:49,828 --> 00:02:51,868 Speaker 1: even said back then that he likes to get into 53 00:02:51,908 --> 00:02:54,148 Speaker 1: a rhythm early, likes to carry the football a lot 54 00:02:54,308 --> 00:02:57,628 Speaker 1: to get himself settled in mentally and physically. Now at 55 00:02:57,668 --> 00:03:01,068 Speaker 1: Javonte Williams out, he has that opportunity that setting will 56 00:03:01,108 --> 00:03:05,108 Speaker 1: see if the fumbles go away, we can't wait. And 57 00:03:05,348 --> 00:03:08,508 Speaker 1: we talked about earlier in the show, fumbling is very psychological. Meanwhile, JP, 58 00:03:08,628 --> 00:03:10,908 Speaker 1: we had the exact same scenario on the defensive gude 59 00:03:10,908 --> 00:03:12,868 Speaker 1: of the ball, no Shack Leonard for the Colts. Again, 60 00:03:12,908 --> 00:03:16,028 Speaker 1: the Broncos will be without Randy Gregory, without these two stars. 61 00:03:16,068 --> 00:03:18,588 Speaker 1: How do Bowl teams Adjustin my god, JP, we look 62 00:03:18,668 --> 00:03:20,948 Speaker 1: more like brothers than the mccordy twins right now. Oh 63 00:03:20,988 --> 00:03:25,508 Speaker 1: my gosh, Wow, I went. You know, I don't get 64 00:03:25,548 --> 00:03:27,548 Speaker 1: returned very often out in the field, but today is 65 00:03:27,548 --> 00:03:29,148 Speaker 1: one of the biggest days. I wish I had at 66 00:03:29,188 --> 00:03:30,588 Speaker 1: my friend. I wish I would have been able to 67 00:03:30,588 --> 00:03:33,908 Speaker 1: see that Sidebob. Yeah, you're right, Shaquille Leonard being out, 68 00:03:34,028 --> 00:03:35,908 Speaker 1: that's a big deal for this defense, right They haven't 69 00:03:35,948 --> 00:03:37,868 Speaker 1: really had him for most of the season. And I 70 00:03:37,908 --> 00:03:39,588 Speaker 1: mentioned that game against the Chiefs. I spent a lot 71 00:03:39,588 --> 00:03:40,988 Speaker 1: of time with the Colts there and they kind of 72 00:03:41,028 --> 00:03:44,308 Speaker 1: all told me he's the emotional leader. He's the energy 73 00:03:44,308 --> 00:03:46,428 Speaker 1: of this defense that nobody else can really bring. But 74 00:03:46,428 --> 00:03:49,988 Speaker 1: what he also does is he forces turnovers. Right led 75 00:03:50,028 --> 00:03:53,108 Speaker 1: the NFL enforced fumbles a season ago. The Colts were 76 00:03:53,188 --> 00:03:56,468 Speaker 1: right at the top enforced turnovers a season ago. This year, 77 00:03:56,548 --> 00:03:59,428 Speaker 1: completely different story. They can't protect the football, they can't 78 00:03:59,468 --> 00:04:03,068 Speaker 1: turn the football over. That's a big impact from Shaquille Leonard. 79 00:04:03,108 --> 00:04:05,148 Speaker 1: And then with Randy Gregory being out, he's gonna be 80 00:04:05,148 --> 00:04:06,828 Speaker 1: out several weeks with his knee injury, but he will 81 00:04:06,868 --> 00:04:09,908 Speaker 1: return this season. The player to watch is not Nick Benito, 82 00:04:09,948 --> 00:04:11,988 Speaker 1: who is the first pick for the Broncos in this 83 00:04:12,068 --> 00:04:14,988 Speaker 1: last draft, in the second round. It is second year 84 00:04:15,028 --> 00:04:18,068 Speaker 1: pass rusher Baron Browning out of the Ohio State University. 85 00:04:18,068 --> 00:04:19,668 Speaker 1: I'm not just saying that because I'm on a lump. 86 00:04:19,748 --> 00:04:22,348 Speaker 1: I'm saying that because when I've talked to players throughout 87 00:04:22,348 --> 00:04:24,428 Speaker 1: training camp and throughout the early portion of this season, 88 00:04:24,708 --> 00:04:28,028 Speaker 1: they see a real, real crazy bend and how he 89 00:04:28,028 --> 00:04:29,668 Speaker 1: can get around the edge. They say even like a 90 00:04:29,748 --> 00:04:32,628 Speaker 1: Vaughan Miller type bend, which is blasphemy to say in 91 00:04:32,668 --> 00:04:34,948 Speaker 1: these parts, but they believe he could become a very 92 00:04:34,988 --> 00:04:37,868 Speaker 1: good pass rusher that hasn't had the opportunity because Randy 93 00:04:37,908 --> 00:04:40,668 Speaker 1: Gregory and Bradley Chubb have played so well, he hasn't 94 00:04:40,668 --> 00:04:43,228 Speaker 1: played pass rushing snaps. Now for the next several weeks, 95 00:04:43,268 --> 00:04:45,348 Speaker 1: I'll have an opportunity to do that. Take an eye 96 00:04:45,348 --> 00:04:49,708 Speaker 1: on Baron Browning tonight on Thursday Night Football. James Palmer, 97 00:04:49,708 --> 00:04:51,508 Speaker 1: thank you right now. That's a long day for you 98 00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:53,708 Speaker 1: heading into this game this evening. We're going to see 99 00:04:53,708 --> 00:04:55,548 Speaker 1: you all over NFL Network ahead of this game that 100 00:04:55,548 --> 00:04:57,628 Speaker 1: you can see on Prime Video and NFL Plus. We 101 00:04:57,668 --> 00:05:05,748 Speaker 1: appreciate your dedication to the cause. Talk to him later, Okay, 102 00:05:06,028 --> 00:05:08,628 Speaker 1: T third on Thursday. We're just gonna stick with that game. 103 00:05:08,788 --> 00:05:11,508 Speaker 1: Folks on the quarterbacks, both are on new teams, both 104 00:05:11,548 --> 00:05:13,548 Speaker 1: off to a bit of a rocky start. Who's had 105 00:05:13,748 --> 00:05:16,508 Speaker 1: the more head scratching season so far though, Matt Ryan 106 00:05:16,548 --> 00:05:20,828 Speaker 1: with the Folks or Russell Wilson with the Broncos. Jay, Yes, 107 00:05:21,628 --> 00:05:24,748 Speaker 1: new faces and new places, and they're getting acclimated, they're 108 00:05:24,788 --> 00:05:27,588 Speaker 1: settling them. Like you said, both some rocky stars. But 109 00:05:27,668 --> 00:05:29,948 Speaker 1: for me, I went with Matt Ryan, and a lot 110 00:05:29,988 --> 00:05:32,348 Speaker 1: of the reason I went with Matt Ryan's because of 111 00:05:32,388 --> 00:05:35,148 Speaker 1: the turnovers, the amount of times that he is giving 112 00:05:35,148 --> 00:05:38,028 Speaker 1: the ball away from to the defense. Neither one of 113 00:05:38,068 --> 00:05:40,268 Speaker 1: them have put up stellar numbers of what we've kind 114 00:05:40,308 --> 00:05:43,228 Speaker 1: of become accustomed to throughout their careers, but already Matt 115 00:05:43,308 --> 00:05:46,388 Speaker 1: Ryan through four weeks has thrown five interceptions and has 116 00:05:46,428 --> 00:05:50,428 Speaker 1: lost three fumbles, but also has nine fumbles in general 117 00:05:50,628 --> 00:05:53,428 Speaker 1: throughout these first few weeks of the season, and he 118 00:05:53,508 --> 00:05:55,948 Speaker 1: was brought in to be that veteran guy kind of 119 00:05:56,068 --> 00:05:58,788 Speaker 1: right the ship. And they've had so many quarterbacks since 120 00:05:58,788 --> 00:06:01,548 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck decided to retire, and they were bringing him 121 00:06:01,548 --> 00:06:03,948 Speaker 1: in for consistency, and it hasn't been that. He's had 122 00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:06,188 Speaker 1: two games where he's over three hundred and fifty yards, 123 00:06:06,228 --> 00:06:09,588 Speaker 1: which has been awesome, but the turnovers have to stop, 124 00:06:09,788 --> 00:06:11,468 Speaker 1: and it is not all on Matt Ryan. They have 125 00:06:11,548 --> 00:06:15,108 Speaker 1: some struggles. He's been sacked fifteen times already. The offensive 126 00:06:15,108 --> 00:06:17,668 Speaker 1: line hasn't held up the way we expect, especially with 127 00:06:17,708 --> 00:06:20,868 Speaker 1: the amount of money being distributed amongst those five line 128 00:06:20,868 --> 00:06:22,908 Speaker 1: and so we want to see more from both of 129 00:06:22,908 --> 00:06:26,428 Speaker 1: these guys. But for me, so far Matt Ryan. Expectations 130 00:06:26,468 --> 00:06:28,228 Speaker 1: were high for both of them. But I just thought 131 00:06:28,268 --> 00:06:29,748 Speaker 1: he was going to kind of be that plug and 132 00:06:29,788 --> 00:06:31,788 Speaker 1: play guy for a team that I was playing well 133 00:06:31,868 --> 00:06:34,628 Speaker 1: last year. Bigger head scratcher, I think would be Russell Wilson. 134 00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,268 Speaker 1: To me, I thought that Russell Wilson was going to 135 00:06:36,388 --> 00:06:38,868 Speaker 1: do what Stafford did last year with the Rams immediately 136 00:06:38,868 --> 00:06:41,548 Speaker 1: elevate and then also what Tom Brady did with the Buccanets. 137 00:06:41,588 --> 00:06:44,148 Speaker 1: It hasn't been that way for the Matt Ryan piece. 138 00:06:45,028 --> 00:06:47,428 Speaker 1: I don't think we should be shocked by this. The 139 00:06:47,508 --> 00:06:50,588 Speaker 1: cultiv had a, like you said, a revolving door at quarterback, 140 00:06:50,628 --> 00:06:52,308 Speaker 1: and even the players are coming out and speaking. This 141 00:06:52,348 --> 00:06:54,508 Speaker 1: is not him Hyans, who is quite honest, it's not 142 00:06:54,548 --> 00:06:57,108 Speaker 1: an excuse. But every year we have a new quarterback. 143 00:06:57,468 --> 00:06:59,628 Speaker 1: So each year we have growing pains while we sit 144 00:06:59,668 --> 00:07:01,868 Speaker 1: here and watch Tennessee which has been led by Tannehill 145 00:07:01,868 --> 00:07:04,668 Speaker 1: what my whole career, and each year we're restarting and 146 00:07:04,708 --> 00:07:08,548 Speaker 1: we have to turn the page if that's not from 147 00:07:08,588 --> 00:07:11,068 Speaker 1: the horse's mouth and no pun intender with the Colt's 148 00:07:11,108 --> 00:07:15,188 Speaker 1: mascot whatever else, I don't know what is. And um, honestly, 149 00:07:15,268 --> 00:07:18,628 Speaker 1: it's like, what did we expect another quarterback and here 150 00:07:18,668 --> 00:07:21,228 Speaker 1: we go again. It wasn't just gonna be throw Matt 151 00:07:21,308 --> 00:07:23,108 Speaker 1: Ryan in there and suddenly things they're going to get fixed. 152 00:07:23,228 --> 00:07:25,148 Speaker 1: So what the Colts are in the post Andrew luck 153 00:07:25,188 --> 00:07:27,268 Speaker 1: Era different quarterback every year and they're gonna struggle in 154 00:07:27,268 --> 00:07:28,948 Speaker 1: the first month, that's what they are. Yeah, you can't 155 00:07:28,948 --> 00:07:31,508 Speaker 1: just pull a horse shoe out of your back, do um? 156 00:07:31,948 --> 00:07:35,068 Speaker 1: I remember Division picking day and we're just we're going around. 157 00:07:35,108 --> 00:07:37,028 Speaker 1: There's a lot of love for the Colts at this table, 158 00:07:37,508 --> 00:07:39,868 Speaker 1: and a lot of love the Colts and nationally, and 159 00:07:39,908 --> 00:07:41,908 Speaker 1: I just remember being like, guys, I don't know at 160 00:07:41,908 --> 00:07:44,628 Speaker 1: what point Matt Ryan became Joe Montana. Like everyone's like, well, 161 00:07:44,748 --> 00:07:46,588 Speaker 1: they're fine. They got Matt Ryan, all right, they got 162 00:07:46,628 --> 00:07:49,228 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. Like, Matt Ryan's okay, Hey, he's pretty good, 163 00:07:49,348 --> 00:07:53,748 Speaker 1: like he once was great. No, I'm not surprised by that. Um, 164 00:07:53,908 --> 00:07:55,988 Speaker 1: it's not been pretty, it's not been great. I think 165 00:07:56,068 --> 00:07:58,788 Speaker 1: Russ's is the far more puzzling one because Matt Ryan 166 00:07:58,868 --> 00:08:01,428 Speaker 1: was looked at it okay stability. Russ was looked at 167 00:08:01,428 --> 00:08:04,228 Speaker 1: as a savior like this. I joked, like you showed 168 00:08:04,268 --> 00:08:06,388 Speaker 1: up training camp in the potmobile so people could see them. 169 00:08:06,748 --> 00:08:09,868 Speaker 1: And it's an incredible thing that it hasn't it's been rocky. 170 00:08:09,908 --> 00:08:11,948 Speaker 1: It was weird that they lost that opener to Seattle, 171 00:08:11,948 --> 00:08:14,228 Speaker 1: which was looked at it such a huge deal. And 172 00:08:14,308 --> 00:08:16,388 Speaker 1: yet I actually that's why I like this game, because 173 00:08:16,668 --> 00:08:18,988 Speaker 1: Branco's win this game and it's three and two. Who cares? 174 00:08:18,988 --> 00:08:20,868 Speaker 1: Three and two is a fine record you can build 175 00:08:20,868 --> 00:08:22,428 Speaker 1: on that even if the Colts win this game, all right, 176 00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:23,948 Speaker 1: we're often running. I don't know if you guys have 177 00:08:23,988 --> 00:08:26,268 Speaker 1: seen these numbers about Frank Reich over the first month 178 00:08:26,308 --> 00:08:28,708 Speaker 1: of this season versus the last few months. It's insane. 179 00:08:28,788 --> 00:08:32,388 Speaker 1: His record is terrible early and unbelievable way. It is 180 00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:35,188 Speaker 1: like this middle metaphor of his whole comeback theme of 181 00:08:35,188 --> 00:08:38,068 Speaker 1: his whole life. So if it's like I know it's 182 00:08:38,108 --> 00:08:40,348 Speaker 1: a cliche, but like, don't let the Colts get hot. 183 00:08:40,388 --> 00:08:43,508 Speaker 1: They often do. They're really bad in September. So if 184 00:08:43,508 --> 00:08:45,068 Speaker 1: they win this game tonight, it's the same old Frank 185 00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:46,828 Speaker 1: Reich thing. I think they game actually has really big stakes. 186 00:08:46,828 --> 00:08:49,788 Speaker 1: I don't interesting I'm gonna go Russell Wilson, and purely 187 00:08:49,828 --> 00:08:52,788 Speaker 1: because of the dollar value attached to this quarterback. I mean, 188 00:08:53,228 --> 00:08:55,068 Speaker 1: like we said in the beginning the second hour of 189 00:08:55,148 --> 00:08:57,588 Speaker 1: the show, and this conversation has a parallel to that 190 00:08:57,628 --> 00:09:00,588 Speaker 1: discussion as well, which is what we expected Matt Ryan 191 00:09:00,628 --> 00:09:02,348 Speaker 1: to do with the Colts team was just kind of 192 00:09:02,548 --> 00:09:06,268 Speaker 1: very tepid water, if you will. And Russell Wilson was 193 00:09:06,308 --> 00:09:08,548 Speaker 1: supposed to turn this thing and to turn that flames 194 00:09:08,628 --> 00:09:11,668 Speaker 1: up in Denver, and that has not been accomplished. And 195 00:09:12,028 --> 00:09:14,388 Speaker 1: I'm just so curious as to the actual on field 196 00:09:14,428 --> 00:09:16,388 Speaker 1: performance at Russell Wilson has or has not been able 197 00:09:16,428 --> 00:09:19,188 Speaker 1: to accomplish yet in Denver. Considering what he has done 198 00:09:19,188 --> 00:09:22,748 Speaker 1: over the first four weeks last season, you're looking at 199 00:09:22,868 --> 00:09:25,748 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns against four. His pastor reading has gone down. 200 00:09:25,948 --> 00:09:28,028 Speaker 1: Passing yards per game, I mean they've been down, so 201 00:09:28,028 --> 00:09:32,868 Speaker 1: he's been throwing the ball. But it's interesting the vibe 202 00:09:32,908 --> 00:09:36,388 Speaker 1: he's giving is not this and we talked about this 203 00:09:36,428 --> 00:09:38,988 Speaker 1: with some of the game management decisions that we're done. 204 00:09:38,988 --> 00:09:41,068 Speaker 1: It's like he kind of when he walked off and 205 00:09:41,108 --> 00:09:43,148 Speaker 1: just kind of gave that nod to Brandon Manis because 206 00:09:43,148 --> 00:09:44,348 Speaker 1: he was coming on to have some of those late 207 00:09:44,348 --> 00:09:46,868 Speaker 1: field sims and they weren't sticking with Russell Wilsons. Like 208 00:09:47,068 --> 00:09:49,028 Speaker 1: for what they paid this guy and for what his 209 00:09:49,148 --> 00:09:51,668 Speaker 1: reception was when he arrived in Denver, I just would 210 00:09:51,708 --> 00:09:54,748 Speaker 1: have thought he would have had this massive presence in 211 00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:57,868 Speaker 1: games in wins on the town and it's just not 212 00:09:57,948 --> 00:10:00,428 Speaker 1: what we've seen. And so to me, because of the 213 00:10:00,548 --> 00:10:02,548 Speaker 1: volume in which the presence he was supposed to have 214 00:10:02,588 --> 00:10:04,468 Speaker 1: for this team, it just does That's to me is 215 00:10:04,468 --> 00:10:06,828 Speaker 1: the bigger headscratcher because of the impact he was supposed 216 00:10:06,868 --> 00:10:10,548 Speaker 1: to have as compared to Matt Ryan h Finally, the 217 00:10:10,628 --> 00:10:14,188 Speaker 1: two states being represented tonight have produced some amazing talent, 218 00:10:14,268 --> 00:10:18,388 Speaker 1: not just in football, but on the silver screen as well. 219 00:10:18,948 --> 00:10:22,068 Speaker 1: Who's a better actor Adam Driver who was raised in 220 00:10:22,108 --> 00:10:26,028 Speaker 1: Northern Indiana or Don Cheetle who grew up in Denver 221 00:10:26,148 --> 00:10:30,228 Speaker 1: and is a massive froncos I'm gonna go with Don Cheeto. 222 00:10:30,268 --> 00:10:32,188 Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like he has an Asians. He 223 00:10:32,268 --> 00:10:35,348 Speaker 1: was Fresh Prince as Ice Tray. When he has no facer, 224 00:10:35,428 --> 00:10:38,028 Speaker 1: it looks like the same guy. And yes, he was 225 00:10:38,068 --> 00:10:42,708 Speaker 1: Ice Tray on Fresh Prince throwback there. Remember one of 226 00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:44,788 Speaker 1: his movies I first saw was The Rebound. It was 227 00:10:44,788 --> 00:10:47,508 Speaker 1: a story on a man and I remember being a 228 00:10:47,508 --> 00:10:50,548 Speaker 1: young kid and my goodness, jump up there and go 229 00:10:50,668 --> 00:10:52,788 Speaker 1: grab it. And I was just like, yo, don Cheeto, 230 00:10:52,828 --> 00:10:54,108 Speaker 1: And I didn't know who he was at the time. 231 00:10:54,108 --> 00:10:55,468 Speaker 1: I was still a kid. It was like, this guy's 232 00:10:55,508 --> 00:10:58,068 Speaker 1: out here balling. So for me, Don Cheato. I mean 233 00:10:58,108 --> 00:11:02,108 Speaker 1: from that to James role Iron Man's Best Friend. Does 234 00:11:02,108 --> 00:11:04,628 Speaker 1: guy just trying so many different roles to now my 235 00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:06,988 Speaker 1: kids will look at him and there, hey, that's algae 236 00:11:07,068 --> 00:11:09,028 Speaker 1: rhythm in a new space. Jam Movie, so it was 237 00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:11,668 Speaker 1: just like he's just transcended throughout the year. So I'm 238 00:11:11,708 --> 00:11:15,708 Speaker 1: definitely going buck Swope and Boogie Knights. This is Don 239 00:11:15,788 --> 00:11:19,068 Speaker 1: Cheetle and our Lands. He wins the awards for Hotel Rwandough, 240 00:11:19,108 --> 00:11:21,708 Speaker 1: but he also is in Rebound, and he's in Fresh Prince, 241 00:11:21,788 --> 00:11:23,788 Speaker 1: and then you bring in the Iron Man, and I 242 00:11:23,788 --> 00:11:25,908 Speaker 1: think Boogie Knights is one of the greatest films ever made, 243 00:11:25,948 --> 00:11:28,428 Speaker 1: and he was one of the key characters, Don Cheetle. 244 00:11:28,508 --> 00:11:32,068 Speaker 1: I love Adam Driver, Brooklyn guy, military background, very cool story, 245 00:11:32,148 --> 00:11:34,708 Speaker 1: but we're talking about Don Cheetle here. I think Don 246 00:11:34,748 --> 00:11:37,228 Speaker 1: Chetle will runaway. You're going buck Swope. Look, it's one 247 00:11:37,228 --> 00:11:39,268 Speaker 1: thing to hear it from Buck's mouth, it's another to 248 00:11:39,268 --> 00:11:41,748 Speaker 1: hear it from the t K four two one modification store, 249 00:11:41,828 --> 00:11:44,388 Speaker 1: very low price. T K four two one is actually 250 00:11:44,388 --> 00:11:46,788 Speaker 1: an homage that Paul Thoma Samson made two Star Wars. 251 00:11:46,788 --> 00:11:49,108 Speaker 1: It's a deep Star Wars reference really so four And 252 00:11:49,148 --> 00:11:51,268 Speaker 1: of course that brings us to Adam Driver, who plays 253 00:11:51,308 --> 00:11:53,108 Speaker 1: kyler Ren, the Lord of the Sith. I'm gonna see 254 00:11:53,228 --> 00:11:57,548 Speaker 1: my time here, Peter. Your thoughts on the kyler Ren 255 00:11:57,828 --> 00:12:01,708 Speaker 1: character are culminating in episode nine, The Rise of Skywalker. 256 00:12:01,748 --> 00:12:03,348 Speaker 1: Can we give the context of the viewers he might 257 00:12:03,388 --> 00:12:05,628 Speaker 1: be watching? Please do for I'm a viewer right now. 258 00:12:05,708 --> 00:12:09,828 Speaker 1: I have not watched any of the Star Wars films. 259 00:12:09,868 --> 00:12:11,988 Speaker 1: I'm a forty year old man. I grew up with 260 00:12:12,068 --> 00:12:15,188 Speaker 1: access to every potential Star Wars. I have never seen 261 00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:19,708 Speaker 1: Star never seen any Star Wars. Those early ones, but 262 00:12:19,788 --> 00:12:22,188 Speaker 1: they aren't really early anymore. The three to six, if 263 00:12:22,188 --> 00:12:24,548 Speaker 1: you will, like when I was a kid, four to six? Yeah, yeah, yes, 264 00:12:24,908 --> 00:12:27,668 Speaker 1: that's it. I haven't recarnished the legacy of the Star Yeah, 265 00:12:28,188 --> 00:12:30,828 Speaker 1: with a show every single minute. I understand that we're 266 00:12:30,868 --> 00:12:33,548 Speaker 1: trying to churn everything out there, but can we stop 267 00:12:33,588 --> 00:12:37,188 Speaker 1: trying to wrangle out every last piece of everything from that? 268 00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:40,948 Speaker 1: How many people? What's the new one? And or? And no? 269 00:12:43,588 --> 00:12:47,228 Speaker 1: Start that one.

I think that based on the strength, 277 00:13:16,588 --> 00:13:20,268 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go even deeper. La Law China Beach. Cheetah 278 00:13:20,348 --> 00:13:23,388 Speaker 1: was a night court like he doesn't know. Yeah, I's 279 00:13:23,428 --> 00:13:25,708 Speaker 1: been doing it for years.

Good morning, guys, arning, good morning. I just 295 00:14:23,148 --> 00:14:26,068 Speaker 1: want to say congratulations seriously on this game. I've learned 296 00:14:26,068 --> 00:14:28,708 Speaker 1: so much from you watching your college football coverage, and 297 00:14:28,828 --> 00:14:30,828 Speaker 1: now I feel the same about your Thursday night stuff. 298 00:14:30,868 --> 00:14:34,188 Speaker 1: So honestly, you're doing a fantastic job. Congratulations, And that's 299 00:14:34,188 --> 00:14:37,148 Speaker 1: where our first question leads us. You are so welcome. 300 00:14:37,628 --> 00:14:40,268 Speaker 1: Interesting matchup. There's a night football. Things are not going 301 00:14:40,308 --> 00:14:42,508 Speaker 1: what we thought they would have for either of these teams, 302 00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:46,068 Speaker 1: Colts Broncos. A lot of questions. Give us the temperature 303 00:14:46,068 --> 00:14:49,268 Speaker 1: of the water for the game tonight. I think what's 304 00:14:49,308 --> 00:14:51,468 Speaker 1: ironic is I think? And I was watching you guys earlier. 305 00:14:51,468 --> 00:14:55,468 Speaker 1: I watch you guys every morning. I thought that, like you, 306 00:14:55,588 --> 00:14:57,628 Speaker 1: I thought, boy, Russ is going to go to Denver 307 00:14:57,788 --> 00:14:59,788 Speaker 1: and here we go. You know that this is the 308 00:14:59,868 --> 00:15:02,028 Speaker 1: kind of the missing piece to get the Broncos going, 309 00:15:02,068 --> 00:15:04,468 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan with his wisdom and experience going to 310 00:15:05,068 --> 00:15:07,308 Speaker 1: work with JT. You know, I thought, boy, that they're 311 00:15:07,348 --> 00:15:09,188 Speaker 1: going to have great balance. And now here we are 312 00:15:09,228 --> 00:15:12,468 Speaker 1: four weekend and we're just kind of like stuck in 313 00:15:12,548 --> 00:15:16,028 Speaker 1: third gear with both these offenses. And it's ironic that 314 00:15:16,068 --> 00:15:18,188 Speaker 1: they're both kind of facing some of the same issues 315 00:15:18,548 --> 00:15:24,068 Speaker 1: getting behind the sticks, self inflicted wounds, penalties second and fifteen, 316 00:15:24,548 --> 00:15:27,268 Speaker 1: third and ten. I don't know. It just feels like 317 00:15:27,308 --> 00:15:30,868 Speaker 1: they're just out of sorts. Now. The potential is there. 318 00:15:31,468 --> 00:15:35,228 Speaker 1: They could start clicking tonight. And Jason, you and all 319 00:15:35,228 --> 00:15:37,908 Speaker 1: you guys know better than me that the offensive line 320 00:15:38,308 --> 00:15:42,388 Speaker 1: for both these teams isn't quite functioning. They're still trying 321 00:15:42,388 --> 00:15:46,388 Speaker 1: to develop that continuity. And it's funny with offensive linemen, 322 00:15:46,508 --> 00:15:48,948 Speaker 1: like we never really pay attention to them until things 323 00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,948 Speaker 1: are wrong. Then we want to point the finger what 324 00:15:50,988 --> 00:15:53,148 Speaker 1: the heck's going on with the offensive line. And I 325 00:15:53,188 --> 00:15:55,468 Speaker 1: think right now both these teams are trying to find 326 00:15:55,468 --> 00:15:58,268 Speaker 1: a rhythm up front, and if they find it the 327 00:15:58,428 --> 00:16:02,468 Speaker 1: right pieces in a communication and working as five as one, 328 00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:05,468 Speaker 1: then I think you'll see this offense on both these 329 00:16:05,468 --> 00:16:07,628 Speaker 1: teams start to click and kind of live up to 330 00:16:07,668 --> 00:16:10,308 Speaker 1: their potential. But right now they're they're kind of reeling 331 00:16:10,348 --> 00:16:14,548 Speaker 1: and searching. Kirk, you have done so many games in 332 00:16:14,548 --> 00:16:17,748 Speaker 1: your life that I know that conference room from the 333 00:16:17,748 --> 00:16:20,508 Speaker 1: production meeting that you're sitting in right now. I feel it. 334 00:16:20,588 --> 00:16:22,708 Speaker 1: I know that there is some semial to the side, 335 00:16:22,828 --> 00:16:25,188 Speaker 1: some milk waiting if you need it. I've been in 336 00:16:25,188 --> 00:16:27,028 Speaker 1: that room a million times. And I know that in 337 00:16:27,068 --> 00:16:29,708 Speaker 1: a second home for you, with all the remote shows 338 00:16:29,748 --> 00:16:32,188 Speaker 1: and games that you've done. You spent so much on 339 00:16:32,228 --> 00:16:34,348 Speaker 1: a large part of your career covering the college game. 340 00:16:34,388 --> 00:16:36,748 Speaker 1: But now we get you in the NFL gig with 341 00:16:36,868 --> 00:16:39,188 Speaker 1: the Thursday night football. It's been a blast. You and 342 00:16:39,268 --> 00:16:43,708 Speaker 1: Al have been fantastic. What's the biggest difference between commentating 343 00:16:43,788 --> 00:16:46,668 Speaker 1: pro football and then of course college football, which of 344 00:16:46,708 --> 00:16:50,148 Speaker 1: course you're an obsolute legend calling those games. Well, you 345 00:16:50,188 --> 00:16:54,828 Speaker 1: know it's it's mentally for me. I I'm not Troy Aikman. 346 00:16:55,108 --> 00:16:59,028 Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm not a three time Super Bowl winner. 347 00:16:59,228 --> 00:17:00,828 Speaker 1: I've always looked in the mirror and looked at a 348 00:17:00,868 --> 00:17:04,028 Speaker 1: guy that's trying to prove himself. I'll never stop being 349 00:17:04,068 --> 00:17:07,108 Speaker 1: that guy, you know, even in college after all these years, 350 00:17:07,148 --> 00:17:09,668 Speaker 1: I've done a twenty seven years on college game Day 351 00:17:09,668 --> 00:17:13,108 Speaker 1: and calling the big games on Saturday and playoffs and 352 00:17:13,468 --> 00:17:16,988 Speaker 1: in the college National Championship, and I still would look 353 00:17:17,028 --> 00:17:19,588 Speaker 1: at myself like I got to prove myself. And so 354 00:17:19,628 --> 00:17:22,348 Speaker 1: now I come into this world. You can imagine how 355 00:17:22,748 --> 00:17:25,948 Speaker 1: mentally I felt about this opportunity. Yeah, I'm one hand, 356 00:17:25,988 --> 00:17:27,588 Speaker 1: I'm excited, kidding me I'm about to go go into a 357 00:17:27,588 --> 00:17:29,348 Speaker 1: meeting when I get done with you guys. I mean, 358 00:17:29,348 --> 00:17:31,108 Speaker 1: I'm going to go into a meeting with Fred Goodelli 359 00:17:31,148 --> 00:17:34,348 Speaker 1: and Al Michaels for our production meetings. I just it's 360 00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:36,628 Speaker 1: it's very surreal. So I had to kind of get 361 00:17:36,748 --> 00:17:40,068 Speaker 1: over that part of it. And then after that, it's 362 00:17:40,108 --> 00:17:43,868 Speaker 1: just preparation. I'm a I'm a like a film junkie. 363 00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:47,148 Speaker 1: I'm a preparation guy. The hardest part of my job 364 00:17:47,308 --> 00:17:51,108 Speaker 1: is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to get ready for this. 365 00:17:51,308 --> 00:17:53,988 Speaker 1: If I do all that, Thursday kind of just works. 366 00:17:54,068 --> 00:17:56,588 Speaker 1: I think Al and I are developing chemistry, which was 367 00:17:56,588 --> 00:17:58,788 Speaker 1: a big thing for me. I just wanted them to 368 00:17:58,868 --> 00:18:00,668 Speaker 1: kind of fit in. I mean, Freddie and Al have 369 00:18:00,708 --> 00:18:02,508 Speaker 1: been working together for I don't know how many years, 370 00:18:02,508 --> 00:18:05,228 Speaker 1: going back to John Madden, Chris Collinsworth, now here I Come, 371 00:18:05,828 --> 00:18:08,308 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to kind of fit into their 372 00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:12,268 Speaker 1: world seamlessly the best that I could. So a lot 373 00:18:12,308 --> 00:18:14,988 Speaker 1: of it has been about chemistry, with Al not getting 374 00:18:14,988 --> 00:18:17,988 Speaker 1: in his way, being respectful of what he needs to do. 375 00:18:18,668 --> 00:18:21,508 Speaker 1: And then the game is the game, man. I love 376 00:18:21,588 --> 00:18:23,748 Speaker 1: the game.

And you just talked about absolute legends. 404 00:19:44,628 --> 00:19:47,228 Speaker 1: I met Fred at the broadcast boot camp. He talked 405 00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:49,428 Speaker 1: about working with Collins, where I've talked about working with 406 00:19:49,508 --> 00:19:52,548 Speaker 1: John matt And then you mentioned Al Michaels, who's an 407 00:19:52,748 --> 00:19:56,268 Speaker 1: icon and it's in himself and you're working alongside him. 408 00:19:56,508 --> 00:19:58,468 Speaker 1: He's a legend. What have you been able to learn 409 00:19:58,508 --> 00:20:01,028 Speaker 1: from him so far throughout the beginning of this season? 410 00:20:01,908 --> 00:20:04,308 Speaker 1: It's you know, the biggest thing, Jason, is how different 411 00:20:04,588 --> 00:20:08,948 Speaker 1: things are. You know, I'm just so used to just 412 00:20:08,988 --> 00:20:11,548 Speaker 1: like they're used to what they are accustomed to. I'm 413 00:20:11,628 --> 00:20:14,628 Speaker 1: used to what I've done, and yet I'm the one 414 00:20:14,668 --> 00:20:18,388 Speaker 1: that's coming into their world. So you know, I'm bright 415 00:20:18,428 --> 00:20:21,188 Speaker 1: eyed and just focused on what Al's doing. I Mean, 416 00:20:21,588 --> 00:20:24,668 Speaker 1: everybody talks about Keith Jackson, but for me, going back 417 00:20:24,748 --> 00:20:27,988 Speaker 1: to the nineteen eighty Olympics, how Michaels is how Michaels. 418 00:20:28,388 --> 00:20:32,388 Speaker 1: You know, for my generation, Al michaels Is at the top, 419 00:20:32,628 --> 00:20:35,188 Speaker 1: and I just admire him so much. Like when I 420 00:20:35,228 --> 00:20:38,388 Speaker 1: hear his voice as a fan, I'm like, Okay, here 421 00:20:38,388 --> 00:20:40,668 Speaker 1: we go. And one of the greatest things about Alan 422 00:20:40,828 --> 00:20:43,628 Speaker 1: Chris and going back to Alan John, it's just how 423 00:20:43,668 --> 00:20:47,028 Speaker 1: comfortable I always felt watching them. You know. It wasn't 424 00:20:47,068 --> 00:20:50,748 Speaker 1: just what did I learn, It was just, man, it 425 00:20:50,908 --> 00:20:53,668 Speaker 1: just feels right, you know, like I'm gonna pull up 426 00:20:53,668 --> 00:20:56,348 Speaker 1: my chair here, and my family's in the family room 427 00:20:56,348 --> 00:20:58,908 Speaker 1: and dogs on the floor and we're just sitting here 428 00:20:58,908 --> 00:21:03,028 Speaker 1: watching Alan John or Alan Chris. That's my feeling that 429 00:21:03,148 --> 00:21:06,588 Speaker 1: I have when I watched, and now watching and observing 430 00:21:06,628 --> 00:21:09,908 Speaker 1: from behind the scenes, I'm just blown away by his 431 00:21:10,748 --> 00:21:13,748 Speaker 1: ability to be very calm. We had a big moment, 432 00:21:13,788 --> 00:21:15,988 Speaker 1: as you guys know, in the Chargers Chiefs game late 433 00:21:15,988 --> 00:21:18,348 Speaker 1: in that game where there was a pick six about 434 00:21:18,348 --> 00:21:21,308 Speaker 1: one hundred yard play and he called it the way 435 00:21:21,308 --> 00:21:24,268 Speaker 1: he always calls it, but just how calm he and 436 00:21:24,308 --> 00:21:27,188 Speaker 1: Freddie were throughout that. It was a game changing very 437 00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:29,308 Speaker 1: near the end of the game, and they were just 438 00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:33,108 Speaker 1: so calm, and everything hit right. Hit the replays and 439 00:21:33,148 --> 00:21:36,828 Speaker 1: Freddie as well, like Freddie and my ears, you guys. Know, 440 00:21:36,868 --> 00:21:39,548 Speaker 1: as you get a producer in your ear, you know 441 00:21:39,588 --> 00:21:46,028 Speaker 1: he's just he just is just a incredibly confident, incredibly calm, 442 00:21:46,308 --> 00:21:51,308 Speaker 1: under control of presence about him from the meetings leading 443 00:21:51,388 --> 00:21:54,068 Speaker 1: up to the call and then during the game itself. 444 00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:57,348 Speaker 1: So man, I'm just enjoying it.

Happy to have you. I'm 510 00:25:27,028 --> 00:25:29,268 Speaker 1: so excited to watch Rank through that Eastwood voice for 511 00:25:29,308 --> 00:25:31,628 Speaker 1: the whole segment. Let's start it. Let's start with the good, 512 00:25:31,908 --> 00:25:34,308 Speaker 1: the good. Which player will have us riding off into 513 00:25:34,348 --> 00:25:39,588 Speaker 1: the sunset in Week five? Sir, well, let's talk about 514 00:25:39,668 --> 00:25:43,708 Speaker 1: James Robinson, the man who, throughout his career, has done 515 00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:47,508 Speaker 1: a pretty nice job against the Houston Texans. In fact, 516 00:25:48,028 --> 00:25:51,268 Speaker 1: he's had touchdowns in two out of his last three 517 00:25:51,308 --> 00:25:53,948 Speaker 1: games against his squad. And now you look at this 518 00:25:54,028 --> 00:25:58,148 Speaker 1: Texans defense and hapless bag of bones that it is. 519 00:25:59,148 --> 00:26:03,068 Speaker 1: They've allowed the most fantasy points her game to running backs, 520 00:26:03,108 --> 00:26:06,948 Speaker 1: and well, look at what guys like Khalil Herbert and 521 00:26:08,148 --> 00:26:11,468 Speaker 1: Austin Eckler have done against this squad. You're damn sure 522 00:26:11,588 --> 00:26:15,028 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be playing James Robinson. And if you don't 523 00:26:15,068 --> 00:26:18,348 Speaker 1: start James Robinson, will I suggest you'll find a new 524 00:26:18,388 --> 00:26:25,028 Speaker 1: line of work. I'm loving this, the fact that we 525 00:26:25,068 --> 00:26:27,668 Speaker 1: go James Robinson out of the games. You're doing this 526 00:26:28,268 --> 00:26:32,908 Speaker 1: just incredible. Talking about Khalil Herbert, give us another player 527 00:26:32,948 --> 00:26:35,668 Speaker 1: that you think partner be good to having our lineups 528 00:26:35,668 --> 00:26:39,628 Speaker 1: this week. Well, be careful who you're calling partner there, Peter, 529 00:26:39,748 --> 00:26:43,348 Speaker 1: But listen, Damien Harris is a damn good running back. 530 00:26:43,828 --> 00:26:47,428 Speaker 1: And I'm tired of cowards running around saying they're not 531 00:26:47,428 --> 00:26:52,068 Speaker 1: gonna start a Patriots running back. Them people are just yellow, 532 00:26:52,588 --> 00:26:58,668 Speaker 1: yellow belly scoundrels. This is not some unsolvable miss. Damien 533 00:26:58,748 --> 00:27:02,148 Speaker 1: Harris has had a touchdown and three out of his 534 00:27:02,228 --> 00:27:05,588 Speaker 1: last four games. Now he's going up against the team 535 00:27:06,068 --> 00:27:09,988 Speaker 1: in the Detroit Lions, who have allowed eight touchdowns in 536 00:27:10,068 --> 00:27:14,308 Speaker 1: their last four games. This despite the fact that Dan 537 00:27:14,428 --> 00:27:18,508 Speaker 1: Campbell is a man who could ride in my posse anytime, 538 00:27:19,268 --> 00:27:23,268 Speaker 1: but unfortunately his Lions don't give up much of a fight. 539 00:27:24,068 --> 00:27:26,308 Speaker 1: So you can sit there and be scared all you want, 540 00:27:26,708 --> 00:27:32,908 Speaker 1: that's fine. I'm gonna run along and play Damien Harris. 541 00:27:32,988 --> 00:27:37,388 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's a darn tooting good cowboy. He is adam 542 00:27:37,468 --> 00:27:39,108 Speaker 1: give us a player who had a hitch in his 543 00:27:39,188 --> 00:27:41,628 Speaker 1: giddea up in week four, but you're confident that he 544 00:27:41,628 --> 00:27:46,268 Speaker 1: will bounce back in week five. Well, much obliged to you, Jamie. 545 00:27:46,388 --> 00:27:50,228 Speaker 1: Pleasure to make your acquaintance, ma'am. Amari Cooper is a guy, 546 00:27:50,228 --> 00:27:53,108 Speaker 1: and I don't think I'm speaking out a turn when 547 00:27:53,148 --> 00:27:55,948 Speaker 1: I say that, well, he wasn't very good last week. 548 00:27:56,388 --> 00:28:00,348 Speaker 1: He's stunk, I gotta tell you. But that's something that 549 00:28:00,388 --> 00:28:04,708 Speaker 1: you gotta give credit to the Atlanta Falcons. Sometime these 550 00:28:04,788 --> 00:28:08,188 Speaker 1: teams come out and they just play good defense. But 551 00:28:08,308 --> 00:28:12,708 Speaker 1: then you got the Los Angeles Chargers, a team that 552 00:28:12,868 --> 00:28:17,828 Speaker 1: struggled against wide receivers this season. In fact, Jamie, they've 553 00:28:17,828 --> 00:28:21,228 Speaker 1: allowed the second most receiving yards to wide receivers this season. 554 00:28:21,628 --> 00:28:24,428 Speaker 1: It's not only am I gonna tell you to start 555 00:28:24,428 --> 00:28:28,748 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. We'll tell you a sidekick. David and Joku 556 00:28:29,588 --> 00:28:32,988 Speaker 1: could end up having the best game of any tight 557 00:28:33,148 --> 00:28:39,628 Speaker 1: end this season. That's right, any tight end, howdy, partner, 558 00:28:40,388 --> 00:28:43,188 Speaker 1: it's time for the ugly. Give us a player who 559 00:28:43,308 --> 00:28:47,668 Speaker 1: you that we should keep on our best this weekend. Well, 560 00:28:48,348 --> 00:28:51,628 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Josh Jacobs is an interesting player. 561 00:28:51,708 --> 00:28:57,388 Speaker 1: He's He's a guy who many, myself included left on 562 00:28:57,428 --> 00:29:00,148 Speaker 1: the side of the road during draft night as the 563 00:29:00,228 --> 00:29:04,548 Speaker 1: buzzards were circling. Well, the joke's been on us. He's 564 00:29:04,588 --> 00:29:08,548 Speaker 1: been pretty good. The only problem there is that this 565 00:29:08,628 --> 00:29:12,148 Speaker 1: week he's got the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that 566 00:29:12,268 --> 00:29:16,588 Speaker 1: massacred the Raiders last season, and in two contests against 567 00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:22,228 Speaker 1: those Chiefs, jo Jacobs had ten points or fewer. This 568 00:29:22,508 --> 00:29:27,588 Speaker 1: despite the fact that he had five receptions in each contest. 569 00:29:28,508 --> 00:29:31,388 Speaker 1: So you look at it, I say, run along, find 570 00:29:31,428 --> 00:29:34,468 Speaker 1: yourself a new running back. There's plenty out there. So 571 00:29:34,628 --> 00:29:38,388 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, as well as you've done, you're gonna sit 572 00:29:38,468 --> 00:29:41,068 Speaker 1: the bench now if we could, let's take a look 573 00:29:41,068 --> 00:29:43,508 Speaker 1: at my pitch. Sorry, Cole, I'm just gonna go ahead 574 00:29:43,508 --> 00:29:47,228 Speaker 1: and tea up myself. Reminder to play James Robinson and 575 00:29:47,348 --> 00:29:50,508 Speaker 1: Damien Harris this week, and then we're starting a Marii 576 00:29:50,588 --> 00:29:53,388 Speaker 1: Cooper and David and Joker. That's one for free, Jamie. 577 00:29:53,828 --> 00:29:55,708 Speaker 1: I'm not giving out out out to anybody. I'm not 578 00:29:55,708 --> 00:29:58,868 Speaker 1: giving that out. You know, of course that is gonna 579 00:29:58,868 --> 00:30:02,708 Speaker 1: be a bench in Josh Jacobson. What I look about 580 00:30:02,708 --> 00:30:05,148 Speaker 1: the uipment is he's so deep in to the Eastwood, 581 00:30:05,148 --> 00:30:07,428 Speaker 1: and yet he still will talk about the chargers allowing 582 00:30:07,508 --> 00:30:11,228 Speaker 1: the second most receiving yards. He nails it. I do 583 00:30:11,308 --> 00:30:15,308 Speaker 1: have Herbert Clil Herbert to start it. Uh buckaroo, the 584 00:30:15,748 --> 00:30:20,228 Speaker 1: stokey you're working there? That wouldn't happen to be a pretzel? Wow? 585 00:30:20,508 --> 00:30:26,468 Speaker 1: Well yeah, a pretzel Rod's a healthier alternative. Now you're 586 00:30:26,468 --> 00:30:31,068 Speaker 1: going I want to sit here for a long time. 587 00:30:31,628 --> 00:30:35,588 Speaker 1: Switch to a pretzel. Ride still is menacing. It's beautiful, healthy, 588 00:30:35,908 --> 00:30:38,828 Speaker 1: He is an enlightenment. Oh boy, it's still is menacing. 589 00:30:39,028 --> 00:30:41,308 Speaker 1: We love you.
