1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL podcast back in Hollywood, Park Baby

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: from the Chris Westling podcast studio. It's the Around the

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: NFL podcast. Dan Hands is here. We were here and

4
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: then we were our gun and now we're here again.

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: And that's good. Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler, Let's do it, boys,

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Let's fly. We're gonna be together three times a week

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: four I guess if you count t N FREAKAP. But

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: that's that's all split up in the same room for

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: like the next I don't know, six months, are you

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Are you prepared for that emotionally or maybe the next

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: six years? Mark Sessler. Six years is a tremendous stretch.

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't predict that UM for myself, but I will

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: say that UM, I can tell that Greg is extremely

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: enthusiastic about returning to UM to our office because I

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: do like podcasting together well but with then you know,

16
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Dan and I witnessed this that within you know, a

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: twenty or thirty minutes span, Greg was networking with roughly

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: five to six people just you know, ask you know,

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: con fabbing, going through some talking points. So Greg's back

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: in his element. Literally, there was one person and that

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: was to ask to approve my new computer request not accurate.

22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: It's this is what it's like right now. I would

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: say that Greg's excited to be here. I had to

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: be honest, I feel pretty happy to be here. This

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: is for the two of you. This is I I

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: like it myself to see. But car is running in

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: the parking garage right now. That's and we started thirty

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: four minutes late. So there always is a little bit

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: of shame that you feel like when you enjoy your

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: job around Market's like, he's like, no, please, don't like

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: I think I've been a good sport, have I not?

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you're always a good sport marketing. Well, that

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: is not the case. I'm trying to be, you know,

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: exemplary right Well, how you doing? By the way, because

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I know on top of this controversy being back in

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: the office, you had that tweet. I do not understand

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 1: any adult who drinks milk and you're getting big milks

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: coming after you. As I understand, I'm getting killed, um

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: essentially by like the nation of Norway and um big

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: chunks of the Midwest where it's it's now. I am

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: now alerted to the fact that, um, there are men

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: in their forties thirties and forties who are drinking uh,

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, systematically really habitually every night, large warm glasses

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: of milk before they go off to sleep. I've been

45
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, I I throughout the first missile, So you've

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: got to be prepared for what's coming back at you.

47
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: It's not a conversation that I wanted to continue necessarily,

48
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: but I opened the door. And I'm being told by

49
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: many people that, um, I'm being judge that if you're

50
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: an adult and you'd like to fill your body with

51
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: the you know, what's coming out of a cow's female

52
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: cows um body parts, and you want to put that

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: into your body, you know. And this is the part

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: where Mark talks about anything food related and it sounds

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: like an alien and a human body trying to fit

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: in with society. Well, it's it's like, let's let's let's quick.

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: What can I put in my bloodstream? Like a tremendous

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: amount of like bovine estrogen. Good idea, but but you

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: know what, to each of their own, I should maybe

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I should not have tweeted it. Um it went in

61
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: a direction I found on rewarding you know what market

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: this toxic masculinity that you're spewing. How about it? This

63
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: fine estrogen is something that every man could use. That's

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: at this point. I think that's the new direction. This

65
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: isn't he man anymore. We're not watching g I Joe.

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: It's not six anymore, Cessler, It's twenty one. Adapt and adjust. Well.

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: I feel like it was probably more acceptable back then,

68
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: but um, but I will all right, today's show. Alright,

69
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: so we got Mark. I don't know if we're gonna

70
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: have Mark in January, but we got him now. He's

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: in the office with us. And today's show it's a

72
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: good one. You know. It's week we're entering week three,

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: and I thought I had today was this is kind

74
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: of the last call for certain band wagons, if certain

75
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: um aspects of a team, a player, a coach, a

76
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: a story around the NFL has taken shape through the

77
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: first two weeks of this, and this is your last

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: chance to really own it, be a part of it,

79
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: being support or be against it, before you're just part

80
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: of the crowd, before you're just some JABRONI on a

81
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: talking head show. Uh, just recycling points that a producer

82
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: gave you four minutes before you go in the air.

83
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking this is the real stuff. This is get

84
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: on the bandwagon before it leaves the area, and we're

85
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: going to share our strong feelings the bandwagons that we're

86
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: on and you could come or you can leave, but

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: this is the last chance to do it. You know

88
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: who I'm talking about it. I'm not naming names. It's

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: some people, you know, it's it's whatever. The easy take is.

90
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: There's no real takes in above. There's no heart behind it.

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: These are takes that you have. There's something in your

92
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: heart is telling you this. I feel strongly about it,

93
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: and I knew it before you did. Now there was um,

94
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: there's been an eye opening um lessons for me in

95
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: this business of how many people speak on TV that

96
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: literally only watch while they're they're on Sundays at most,

97
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: and sometn't even do that. They just that that's what

98
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: they do. I mean, there's there's there's age old stories

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: of um, you know one or two Hall of Fame

100
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: NFL players at art Network no longer at our network,

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: who never did to be shaken from a couch while

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: in a deep sleep play at the other one in Connecticut,

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: never or another l a office never this one not

104
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: according to my reports. But okay, also Thursday night football

105
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: preview with the Tiny box. Uh, Panthers at Texans, and

106
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: we got off to a hot start with prime time.

107
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: But we're getting Lions Packers, which we'll talk about next,

108
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: and then Panthers Texans over the next two games. But

109
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get some fun out of that game and

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: we'll preview it. But yes, before anything else, let's finish

111
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: up Week two with a mondon A football recap four

112
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: man lunch one fire coming in a cottage trip, PassMark

113
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: go on touchdown, Robert Tongue in the tight end, two

114
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: young hes aer foon Byron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers has back

115
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: maybe Kevin Harlan with their call. He's a pros pro

116
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: Westwood one Aaron Rodgers threw two five yards at four

117
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns that after our first happen which I believe you

118
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: through for about eighty five yards and was outplayed by

119
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Jared Gopp. But it's a four quarter football game. They

120
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: ate their range slices at halftime. The Packers didn't came

121
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: out on fire. You know, my boys playing soccer now,

122
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: and maybe this is a Northeast thing, but one of

123
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: the best things about soccer when you were a boy

124
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: or a girl is when halftime came, Mom came out

125
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: with a big giant bag of orange slices. Maybe it's

126
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: a COVID thing, but the range slices aren't around anymore

127
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: at halftime here in southern California, and it's on my radar.

128
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: It's my child plays soccer too, and it's in the

129
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: third year now and there have not been orange slices

130
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: pre Coelice. I don't know what happened the warm blasses

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: of milk anyway, Packers over Lions Greg This was a

132
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: game the Packers obviously needed after the Week one disaster

133
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Do you feel better about him after

134
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: this game? Yeah, because it could have kept going like

135
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: the first half was going, which you just could not

136
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: get a stop whatsoever. The Packers offense I was never

137
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: worried about, but it is nice to just see them

138
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: destroy a Lion secondary which is so thin. Right now,

139
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: you know you lost the kuda. I think Malifon with

140
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: their rookie, had some moments, got hurt during this game

141
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: and is gonna be out for a while too, and

142
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: so Aaron Rodgers carved him up and he did it

143
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: in a like beautiful way the third and twelve throw

144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: to Davante Adams right before that happened, like Bryan Greasy goes,

145
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: it is a big down for the Detroit Lions. They're

146
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: trying to get off the field. The first drive of

147
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: the second half, third and twelve could have had the

148
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: ball up three. Felt like it was a game at

149
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: that point. And Rogers throw is essentially the Manning to

150
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Manningham Super Bowl pass, and that was as good a

151
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: pass as you can ever have. And then the touchdown

152
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: call we just heard was into like a male slot

153
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: over a guy's shoulder. It wasn't open at all, and

154
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: you just felt like, Okay, this is the Packers experience.

155
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: You get a couple uh turnovers and it's a it's

156
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: a walk. I mean, I don't feel too much different

157
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: about them, but this is what they should do. But

158
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: they had laid out the way that nineties seven percent

159
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: of people thought it would, knowing the Packers that we've

160
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: known for a time, No, I I the first half

161
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: to me, I mean, to your point, Dan, like the

162
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: Packers had sixty seven yards passing. They looked out of sorts.

163
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: I thought they were dull to watch. They were not

164
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: pleasing to the eyes and you start to get concerned

165
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: about them. But then they came back in their big

166
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: players in the second half did what you'd expect. Davante Adams,

167
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers looking totally pristine that throw to Tonyan. Next

168
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Gen Stats notes that he never had more than one

169
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: point two yards of separation from Alex and Seloni was

170
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: on them, and that's out tight of a window. Rogers

171
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: just put it in there so he can still he's

172
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: still accurate. We don't need a panic and freak out.

173
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: I am not like I I still see the Packers

174
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: as a team because I think if you look on defense,

175
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: we kind of all we talk about is their offense

176
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: half the time. I still see a ten win team

177
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna get punched in the face in January like

178
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: they always do. But they're not. It's not a collapse scenario.

179
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to be anti Packers. I just

180
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: don't there's something about them I'd find a little bit off.

181
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: You said, you tweeted out the Packers are a yawn.

182
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: They'll win their share of games and get super whacked

183
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: people people, people so ready to fawn over Aaron Rodgers

184
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: and forget it all. I feel like you had one

185
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: to where you said they were in deep trouble this game.

186
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: I find I find that this is a team that

187
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: um gets, that agitates me on some level, and I

188
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: it's not a wonderful fan base, So I'm trying to

189
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: explore why it's it's my issue. It's the whole quarter

190
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: you know, fair after Rogers thing has always a no

191
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: idea that they had these two quarterbacks. It is that,

192
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: I mean, any any a fan of a team that

193
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: struggled to find a quarterback, and it is definitely on

194
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: your radar that you go far to. Speaking at far Of,

195
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: I mean that the secondary ESPN Tadcast, which I think

196
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: is off to a good start with Eli and Peyton,

197
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: their kryptonite is Brett Farve on a delay. I could

198
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: not I could not get through that. So last week

199
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: on the Manning Cast, they were blessed with a like

200
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of really good guests and it and it

201
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: lifted the show. And far who I think was trying

202
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: to like fix his satellite dish or something to get

203
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: the his image correct because like the old satellite dish

204
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: that my father in law Bob Bates has at the

205
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: old farm and just pointing up at Mars or whatever.

206
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: And that's how you watch TV. You imagine Farv is

207
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: not up with the times in terms you can sort

208
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: of see why he's faded into the woodwork to some degree.

209
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: Um and not like popped up as a broadcaster, because

210
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: he's like, they're like, say, what did you watch the

211
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: first half? Any impressions? Yeah, I didn't see any of

212
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: the first half. Well, the great, great to have you on.

213
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: You know, we're having you on for the Monday night

214
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: football game right. I don't even know if he knows

215
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: where he is, but yeah, the Lions, if you would

216
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: if you were a Lions fan that fell asleep at halftime. Um,

217
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: I hope you're not listening to this right now. And

218
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: I hope you've you've stayed off the Internet and any other,

219
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, sports related news platform because it was pretty

220
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: special for a while there. And and and Jared Goff

221
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: he almost had me. He almost had me. Whereas thinking

222
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: I started to saying to myself, is Jared Goff gonna

223
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: put together a big time season? I've already said that.

224
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a nice fantasy season, but

225
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: maybe this revenge narrative and he spoke at it. I

226
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: spoke about it at length um with the Monday Night

227
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Football team, uh ahead of this game. That it did.

228
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: It did drive him as you think it would, but

229
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: things just fell apart in the second half. And I

230
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: think it's the Lions just are so talent deficient that

231
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: this is going to be their story. Even if Dan

232
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: Campbell has the team pointed in the right direction, They're

233
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: going to have these spurts of play but then eventually

234
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: get overwhelmed. So that's where the Lions are as a teams.

235
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: The Packers and we're gonna talk about it more on Thursday, obviously,

236
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: but this was their Week three Sunday night game against

237
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Is a great early measuring um where the

238
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: Packers are as an organization. But part of me is

239
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: a little bummed. I was hoping this like long, greasy haired,

240
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: barely like plugged in version of Aaron Rodgers in my

241
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: mind was a real thing, and then he was just

242
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: gonna meander through a terrible season and then I live

243
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: in Hawaii for the rest of his life. But he

244
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: kind of looked like Aaron Rodgers. And I know Packers

245
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: fans are pumped about that. They're they're working two things.

246
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: Everyone is. It's week two. You know, they put Stokes,

247
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: their rookie out there, uh for forty four snaps that

248
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: changed their defense. He had a good game. We'll see

249
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: if he has it when he's you know, not covering

250
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: the Lions wide receivers. Their pass pro seems like they're

251
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: still kind of working through some things. Aaron Rodgers took

252
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: a few sacks, but it was okay for the most part.

253
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: Like they're playing Devandry Campbell, the former Falcon basically every

254
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: snap at inside linebacker. Like the defensive problems I do

255
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: not think have gone away, and I found it very interesting.

256
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell said after the game that he kind of

257
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: put it on the offense that we need to win shootouts.

258
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: Was was basically what he said. I thought Anton e

259
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Lynn called the great game. If you look at what

260
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: the Lion's offense has done the last two weeks have

261
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: been pretty tough to prepare for. With a bunch of

262
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: receivers that you have no idea who it is. You

263
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: have a very good offensive line. I think they're gonna

264
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: throw a lot, but you basically got Jared Goff's like

265
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: negative college scouting report in that second half, the whole

266
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: tiny hands thing that everyone was fixated on, and then

267
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: it gets raining and he can't hold onto the ball

268
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: multiple times and he panics when he gets pressured, and

269
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: then you kind of you got the whole get Jared

270
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Goff experience. You have the beautiful throws from the pocket,

271
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: and then you have the oh this is why Sean mcvadom. Yeah,

272
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: there their second half drives where they went out on downs, fumble,

273
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: a punt, an interception and downs. It's just like you

274
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: they it's it's the classic bad team in a division

275
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: who cannot go for full quarters with the giant inside

276
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: the division. One positive though, because you are rebuilding, you

277
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: need to hit on your draft picks. Penna Sewell played

278
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: a good game, you know, only two pressures on something

279
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: like thirty nine pass blocking snaps. No, I think they

280
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: kind of stumbled into the overt solution. Sometimes you need

281
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: help to do what seems obvious to others. But all right, oh,

282
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: before we move on. Uh. In the lead up to

283
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: this game, Jamal Williams, now the Lion's running back formerly

284
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: of the Packers, had an entertaining little SoundBite in his

285
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: meeting with the media ahead of this game. I just

286
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: wanted to play that for the audience and boys, yeah,

287
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: like I left them my ohn, God leave, I did

288
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: do it soon. I'm just fact of this day. I'll

289
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: geld have stayed if I If I can't, they dadn't

290
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: want me like that, EGX girlfriend's shoes. I gotta go.

291
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: But you know, glastly, I gotta rebound. It was the lions.

292
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: They picked me up, you know what I mean. Now

293
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: they're feeding me good, taking me to dinners. You know

294
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: what I mean. Another man's tress is another man's tressure.

295
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: So but I'm no, I'm just I'm just having fun. Man.

296
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm just it's part of life. You know, you're gonna

297
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: have those types of rejections. You're gonna get turned down,

298
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna get you know, people ain't gonna want you.

299
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: But when you get your shot, an opportunity again from

300
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: somebody who will give you your shot, you know you

301
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: just gotta take that opportunity to be grateful for it

302
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: and make that's so there's actual. It's funny because I

303
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: like the way he speaks and his his viewpoint on

304
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: his professional football if but there was real wisdom there.

305
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if any I don't know if you

306
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: guys have ever been in a relationship and maybe you

307
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: weren't the one that terminated it, and you have to

308
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: find a way to move on. He's talking football and

309
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: he's mixing in the ex girlfriend analogy. It's so true.

310
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: You gotta shake it off. Somebody else is gonna feed

311
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: you and take care of you down the line. I

312
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: just don't dwell on the past. I know that when

313
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm you know, um, terminated from this place of employment

314
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: and picked up by West Texas Sports South, I will

315
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: I will have the same attitude and probably say much

316
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: the same That attitude and like his personality is one

317
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: of the reasons I think they made him such a

318
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: priority signing. He is like the ultimate Dan Campbell, Like

319
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: he's going to be good in the locker room. He's

320
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: a culture builder, like everyone loves Jabal Williams. His press

321
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: conference has been amazing. Uh since he was a rookie

322
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: and he's back there starting. They're a pretty good running team,

323
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: like they're a good offensive if they have some things.

324
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: I just wish they didn't still have the Matt Patricia defense,

325
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: which is I mean, I think the coaching will probably

326
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: be better in the long run. But at this point

327
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: the production is not They look like the worst defense

328
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: in the one little note Aaron Jones with four touchdowns,

329
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: but he is the first Packers back since ninety a

330
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: man buy into the name of Andy or Ram to

331
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: have three touchdown receptions in one game. And he played

332
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: for his dad and he lost a necklace. His father

333
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: passed away in April. He had a necklace with his

334
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: father's ashes in it. Lost the necklace and then well

335
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: they found it after the game, so it was a

336
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: special night for him. That was good. You put your

337
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: dad's ashes in your necklace, you'll lose the necklace in

338
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: the end zone. Luckily recovered. It's he It's a reminder too,

339
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: it's it's not quite the last dance bulls like Rogers

340
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: and Adams put out there, but they do have Adams,

341
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Jones and Rogers here, you know, and Adams and Jones

342
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: squarely in their primes, all making all good money. Like

343
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: this is it? This is if. If Mark's prediction is

344
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: true and they fall on their face, there's no way

345
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: the season can be viewed as successful on any level.

346
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: It's basically Super Bowl or bust, and Mark if the

347
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: new NFL Network set up here, it doesn't do much

348
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: for you. Just imagine what the West Texas Sports South

349
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: newsroom looks like. Well, that facility will be, you know,

350
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: a diamond, basically an abandoned gymnasium I would imagine would

351
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: be that particular rebuilding project. Um. All right, So that's

352
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: the game. That's Monday night. That's week two, and like

353
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: I said, a little bit later, we'll start taking into

354
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: week three with Colleen Wolf. But first, yes, as we

355
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: discussed two weeks in, you're starting to see, you know,

356
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: we're watching all these games, and we're watching all these guys,

357
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: and all the off sne off season narratives are gone

358
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: by the wayside. Now there's time to to really assess

359
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: where we're at and where the league's going in league.

360
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: So it's time to hop on the bandwagon and head

361
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: out yonder. And that's what we're gonna do, right So,

362
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: friend nit talk goes on around the Carter campfire until

363
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: with a setting of the sun over the darkening prairie vastness,

364
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: there comes a request from music music that erases the

365
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: solitude of the planes. M hm, yes, yes, let's hit

366
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: the road over the prairie fields of America and uh,

367
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: I am giving you guys one last chance to get

368
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: on the Derek Carr and Raiders band like this year

369
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: last chance. Mark. I'm looking at you specifically because this

370
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: is going to be potentially a fun season and one

371
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: worth riding a bandwagon for the Raiders. Got the team

372
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: of Foul up there. I used to think Denver was

373
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: up there, but it's kind of right in the middle.

374
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: That's in the prairies. There's some mountains there, of course,

375
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: but we got some prairie area up into the mountains.

376
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: Will probably pass by Denver to go through. I mean,

377
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: that's where it's a little treacherous. Some bandwagons don't make

378
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: it out. We're gonna it's we're gonna lose the player

379
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: by the side. You know, brothers kill each other for

380
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: Donner party scenario didn't didn't work out too well. We're

381
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to Yeah, we're gonna have to stop for

382
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: a couple of burials maybe there. But you know, you're

383
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: the team of thal Um. The team of Zeus t

384
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: L is going to be the Raiders, I think, because

385
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: we know what the offense can do. Although maybe we

386
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: were selling him short a little bit, because if if

387
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: the car is better this year then he's been, and

388
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: he's playing at a higher level than he has in

389
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: the past, which I think he is in this offense

390
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: he's so familiar with. Well, perhaps perhaps this idea of

391
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders being merely good on offense could be even better.

392
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: But it's the defense that really has me excited because

393
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: you have Derek Carr quasi, badass, Rugs Waller, renfro Brian Edwards.

394
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 1: I like all that, but we might have something here

395
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: with Gus Bradley's day and um Max Crosby per next

396
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: gent stats leads the NFL through two weeks with fifteen pressures.

397
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: Janik and Gokway right behind him, he's got eleven pressures.

398
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: So they have something cooking up front if they can

399
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Uh, and they have an identity on defense

400
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: for the first time. So you put it all together

401
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and when we're trying to figure out this wild card

402
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: playoff set up, because I don't think they're gonna take

403
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: down the Chiefs in the West, but a team that

404
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: could win ten games and be a tough out if

405
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: they get there, hop on the Raiders band wagon and

406
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: take a ride with the new old Blue Eyes. I

407
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: mean that that might be selling them short ten wins.

408
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: You know, they would go eight and seven the rest

409
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: of the way, if that's true. I didn't even look

410
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: at it that way. All right, let's let's lock him

411
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: in for eleven and six. The defenses is where I

412
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: would start there too, because that's what I've tried to

413
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: say on this podcast for a few years, like if

414
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: their defense was just average, I think their offense has

415
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: been better than average last few years. And yes, Derek

416
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: Carr is playing at a higher level the last you know,

417
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: six quarters after that tough start in Baltimore than almost

418
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: I've ever seen him, uh than any quarterback in the league.

419
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: In Week two, but the defense again just be average.

420
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: And and then I think Gruden's vision comes in handy.

421
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: The focuses on the front line, and you're right, Max

422
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: Crosby looks like he's making the leap. He's had his

423
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: substance abuse um battle that he's talked about along with

424
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, and I don't know if it's just that

425
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: he's healthier this year, but he looks like he could

426
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: be an all pro type play to I mean, but

427
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: he didn't play a rookie year. Really impressive. Couldn't stop

428
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: the run, was a great pass rusher. You're just like, Wow,

429
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: this guy is great. Last year was a little bit

430
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: of a mess out of him, was kind of an

431
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: unreliable player, had a couple of moments, but was he

432
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: was more of a negative And now he looks like amazing. Uh.

433
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: And then but I would point out the back end too,

434
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: where some of Mayock's draft picks and pickups. If we're

435
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna kill him for a lot of the mistakes, trayvon

436
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: Mullen in this system looks good. Hobbs, who won the

437
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: slot corner job, I think is a rookie um uh

438
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: is surprising player. And then more importantly is Casey Hayward,

439
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: the former Charger packer who's had a terrific career coming

440
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: off a bad year. He looks like a number one

441
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: corner and suddenly you have the makings of an average average.

442
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: It's only two games, because the makings of an average.

443
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: But this is when we need to make the decision

444
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: to with the bandwagon? Is it just me and I

445
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: I'd be curious what his PFF score is, Not that

446
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: that is objective, but it's like even Jonathan Abroom was

447
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: all over the place. UH. This past week making some play.

448
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: So this team is going in the right direction. You're

449
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: getting on, you're getting on with us, Mark one of

450
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: my I don't know if I'm totally it's either yes

451
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: or no. I guess not no, then no, And it's

452
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: for me. It's just because I think that you like Dan,

453
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: something about the Las Vegas Raiders really appeals to you, um,

454
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: the vibe of the whole thing. I feel like you've

455
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: made this pitch for the Raiders as the team of

456
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: handsas probably multiple times. Yes, but this is you have

457
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: something for them like it's I think it's fallen on

458
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: deaf ears before because I had, you know, get on

459
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: the bandwagon for the Raiders inevitable collapse, because I still

460
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: want to see, well, that's happened to you, happened two

461
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: years in a row, and you can tie it mostly

462
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: to the defense and at the defense, you know, but

463
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: the defense is improved, then maybe it doesn't happen this year.

464
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: So I certainly have ears for what you're saying. Let

465
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: me push back on your bandwagon. Is you're getting you're

466
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: taking over his bandwagon and then you're drying. And I'm

467
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: saying that was one of the I came up with

468
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: like fourteen of them, but one I maybe would throw

469
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: out it was low. I mean, just let me just

470
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: frame it though, because September one, that's a great that's

471
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: a great one to throw out there. Oh yeah, get

472
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: ready for the inevitable collapse. But I'm basing this on

473
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: what has happened so far this season. That the defense

474
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: is different than those years. That's why I think that

475
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: they're different. You're saying none of them. I'm projecting what

476
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: will happen. That's how this works. I'm I'm looking into

477
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: the bactoring in what's actually happened so far this season

478
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: or just something because I would say this that the

479
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: version of Derek Carr, if he played that way in

480
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: of their games, then they're a playoff team that will

481
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: win a playoff game. So I mean, I like I

482
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: I think also your year and year four of j

483
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: Greu of John Gruden, we need to see results. You know,

484
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: other coaches don't get four years to round the thing

485
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: in the shape. But he's I think he's a good

486
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: He's still a good offensive play caller, and it's looking

487
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: like his vision is coming together. So I'm not anti

488
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: Raiders great kickers. Also, I don't think Derek Carr is

489
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: playing over his head right now. This feels like he's

490
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: capable of carrying this through. So I think their weapons

491
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: are starting to grow up believal about you, guys, just

492
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: know that you have you Well, I do agree with you.

493
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: I think this division is just so good. That's because

494
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: the team of Thal it wouldn't be right to get

495
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: on a Raiders bandway because they essentially would take your

496
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: wild card spot. The Chargers are there too. I mean,

497
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: there's this division is great and do you think that

498
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: the two of you would get along on like a

499
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: eighteen month prairie ride across the United States and we

500
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: flew to London together, sitting next to each other research

501
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: it's like twelve hours, fourteen hours, and it's quite different. Anyway, Greg,

502
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: go ahead, it's going to be ugly. Well. Part of

503
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: the reason I'm hesitant about the Raiders is, um, I'm

504
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: feeling more about these this Chargers team. I don't feel

505
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: like I can talk Broncos now. I've I've talked Broncos

506
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: enough because so look, I love this Broncos team. I

507
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: think I said their ceiling is a twelve win team,

508
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: and nothing in the first two weeks has changed my

509
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: mind on that fourth and d v O A through

510
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: two weeks, they could be like a very good offensive

511
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: team and a great defensive team. We'll see. But the

512
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: bandwagon I'm driving here today is for Derwin James, and

513
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: it's for the Chargers overall, but it's especially for Derwin

514
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: James having the comeback player of the Year season, having

515
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: maybe a defensive player of the Year type of season.

516
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: I just get the feel of how Brandon Staley is

517
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: using Derwin games through two weeks is so encouraging, and

518
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: he's flying around doing so many different things right away

519
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: that I'm just getting a great Jalen Ramsey in l A.

520
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: Is darrowin James in l A. For Brandon's Daley type

521
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: of vibe, and and with Herbert being as exciting as

522
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: he is, I know they're coming off of a bad game.

523
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: Like I think this team is extremely dangerous, and for

524
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: some reason, I was hesitant to totally get behind it.

525
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: And again I'm kind of playing the hits here with

526
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers, but that it makes sense when you look

527
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: at this coaching staff and you look at the skill

528
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: set that Herbert has and the way they're putting Mike

529
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: Williams into position as like a true sort of ex

530
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: receiver maxing out his talent. Echoler, I just see it all.

531
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: They're still slopping us. They've had a lot of bad,

532
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: bad finishes to drive through two weeks. But that's the

533
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: type of thing I think you can figure out through

534
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: the course of the season. And I think with Bosa

535
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: and James too, possible defensive Player of the Year candidates

536
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: on the same team. Watch out. So get on the bandwagon,

537
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: the Chargers bandwagon. They'll divisions a bandwagon. Yeah, can you

538
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: can't You can't double up the bandwagon the division that

539
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: that feels impossible, But I have three right. If you can't,

540
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: you can't love, you can't be on every bandwagons. I

541
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: guess you gotta pick a band would be my two

542
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: biggest ones in the whole league, though, And if they

543
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: win eleven games, you can't Marty mc and back to

544
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: the future three. If they both go eleven and six,

545
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: then wasn't I right to be driving both bandwagons? Okay?

546
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: All right? Now? Do you are you at all? Are

547
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: you all at all? Spooped that the Chargers still did

548
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: a Chargers thing this weekend. They opened up their building

549
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: with fans twelve penalties for ninety nine yards, two touchdowns

550
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: called back on penalties, find a way to blow the

551
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: game to a Cowboys team that was trying to essentially

552
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: hand you the game, but somehow kicks the fifty six

553
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: yards because in that situation, the Chargers end up losing. Like,

554
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: are we at all worried that? And I know Brandon

555
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: Staley's a god in all this, but like, are we

556
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: at all worried that? It's still the Chargers at the

557
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: end of the day. I am not. I am not not.

558
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's dismiss you can dismiss the Brandon stillium.

559
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm not dismissing him. But it's like, all right, I understand,

560
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: But the same thing happened that would happen to the

561
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: Charges last year. That's fine. I mean it's a new offense,

562
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: it's a new defense. You know, if we say the

563
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: Packers need time to figure themselves out and essentially the

564
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: same offense they've run forever, like, I mean, give me

565
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: a break that that wouldn't be the case with the Chargers.

566
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean they lost to a Cowboys team that I

567
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: think is explosive. Um, I I come totally with Greg

568
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: on the Derwin James thing. I think it was our

569
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: network show that I mentioned, and it was kind of

570
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: like saying, he'll have his best season yet, Well, how Kenny,

571
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: because he was already you know, all these other things

572
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: before he was hurt. But you can see it and

573
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: he's that kind of player, and you pair him with

574
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: Bosa and you've got what I do think is a

575
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: good coach, and you've got a like a transcendent quarterback

576
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 1: that there. There isn't really much of a more simple

577
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: recipe for success. And I mean Keenan Allen, like, give

578
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: me a break. I feel like the guy because he's

579
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: on the Chargers gets ignored left and right. If he

580
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: were on the Dallas Cowboys, we'd be talking about him NonStop.

581
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got a ton of players, and I

582
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: see them winning a leve or twelve games. So marks

583
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: to dance point though they've kind of charged two weeks

584
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: in a row. They dominated the Washington and made a

585
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: lot of they couldn't finish drives in that game and

586
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: had a couple of bad breaks, but they probably should

587
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: have won that game by seventeen. And throughout that the

588
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of that game, you're good, like they're Charger

589
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: and again, so there is something in the DNA here.

590
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: But that's why the band. Also they can or twelve

591
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: in this division. The long journey. It's a long journey,

592
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: and to me, they're gonna solve things. You're right, because

593
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: the charges, for instance, like that loss hurts the next

594
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: three weeks. Play the Chiefs for four weeks, the Raiders,

595
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: the Browns, the Ravens, the Patriots. I mean, my god

596
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: from and ultimately that I guess that's what Also I'm

597
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: getting at the team. You gotta figure out a way

598
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: to win that game at home in that spot. But

599
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: they got a lot of talent. And I thought this

600
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: is an interesting comment from Stateley after the game because Herbert,

601
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: through two interceptions in the game, also made a bunch

602
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: of big rows. He is a savage in the pocket

603
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: and Stay after the game was asked about his quarterback,

604
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: he said, justin Herbert was out outstanding. He was the

605
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: best player on the field. A lot of good players

606
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: are on that field so far. On Sunday, all right, Mark,

607
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: you're up. I will pick a team that I never

608
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: last spring and came back for the children and me

609
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: and July. You'll find things very different out here. Yeah,

610
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what a little prairie talk something. There's

611
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: something wrong with that woman. Play the play the beginning

612
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: of that again, Ricky, tell me my husband filed his

613
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 1: claim last spring and came back for the children and

614
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: me and July. You'll find things very different out here. Yeah, well,

615
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean the pause and then they pulled from it

616
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: feels like a gun to smoke or something somewhere. Anyway,

617
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: we're back on the prairie with Sessler. Well, this is

618
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: a this is this is maybe a team located in

619
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: the place that we might cross at some point as

620
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: we as we go west along the over the United

621
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: States song Arizona. The Cardinals a team that I have

622
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: not been interested in in a long long time. I

623
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: didn't care about the Cliff Kingsbury thing too much. Um,

624
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: I was never into the Arians Cardinals the way that

625
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: West was that was a West venture. And I know

626
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: in our podcast, like when one person like locks into something,

627
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: you kind of just gotta just separate from it because

628
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: it's too hard to have like dueling love affairs with

629
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: some of these entities. But the Cardinals, to me, over

630
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: two weeks, I love those Cardinals, but I love that

631
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: they were fine. I just never. I was never the

632
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: lead guy on that. I just was like cut fine enthusiasts.

633
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: One of my favorite NFL media assignments was covering the

634
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: All or Nothing premier, um, I think the two thousand

635
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,239
Speaker 1: and sixteen or fifteen Cardinals, and it was down at

636
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: l A Live, and I brought Jayson Walt with me.

637
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: We went down there and just hanging out in this

638
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: green room with that team was so cool because arians

639
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: was belly up at the bar drinking cocktails. You had

640
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: had a young honey Badger coming off a rookie season,

641
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: just like lighting up the room. You had Carson Wentz

642
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: at the other side of the bar drinking bud heavies.

643
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: I'll never forget that and just kind of Carson palm

644
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: excuse me, and just exuding this like certain type of energy,

645
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way, a large something energy, and um,

646
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: I'll just never forget that room. Uh. It was just

647
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: such a fun, fun day. So I like those Cardinals,

648
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: so you were in their grips as well. So I

649
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: mean there was just no oxygen in the room for

650
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: me to be like, you know, with my pom poms

651
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: about the the I mean, I like them, fine, Okay,

652
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: but this Cardinals team, I think on Sunday, honestly, on Sundays,

653
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: this is an honest comment. I am looking for things,

654
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: new things to lift my enjoyment of the sport. I

655
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: am seeking that, and uh I found it with the

656
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals on Sunday that Vikings game. Short. They could have

657
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: lost that game, but there's something about this team that

658
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: is just absolutely magnificent to watch. Um. It starts for

659
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: me with like ron Deal Moore, who I think leads

660
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: all rookies and receiving right now and is the electric,

661
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: perfect electric dance partner for Kyler Murray, who every game

662
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: we know is gonna do five or six things that

663
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: immediately like light up the highlight reels for seven years. Um,

664
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: I think they're better on defense than I expected. The

665
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: parts they've added have been successful. We haven't seen so far.

666
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, last year, I thought Cliff Kingsbury did a

667
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: really nice job marching the team from like twenty to

668
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: twenty the twenties, and then you get into the red

669
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: zone and disaster would strike and then Kyler Murray got hurt.

670
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: That's the one thing you have to be worried about

671
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: because they were a totally different team at that point.

672
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: But if they stay healthy, and if he stays healthy,

673
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: I think this team. And again they're in a division

674
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: where not everyone can win eleven games in that division too,

675
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: But this is a freaky, sneaky type of wild card team.

676
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: It's did something very strange, and I am on board,

677
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: and I think this is the time to get on

678
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: because they the most fun team to watch right now.

679
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: Power rankings history, by the way, and you can watch

680
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: a power ranking show with me and Matt money Smith

681
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: every Tuesday an NFL network. All four NFC West teams

682
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: in the top ten and I had the Cardinals. Wait

683
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: you went back and checked all of the Elliott Harrison archives.

684
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: I dug through everything, not just our site, not the

685
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: history of powering, anyone's power They've done, p F T, CBS, UH, routers, uh,

686
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: the A P. I just went through all of it.

687
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's tremendous amount of what never happened. It

688
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: took me straight hours. This couldn't this be the first

689
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: division ever to put four teams into the playoffs? Is

690
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: that to be a fun Yeah? I guess that can

691
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: happen now there's the extra playoff spot and not likely,

692
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: but it's right, it's not likely, although there was a

693
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: moment last year where they were sort of in position

694
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: for it. But if you were to create a schedule

695
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: out of division for it to happen in the year,

696
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: the schedule you would create would be, we want to

697
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: play the NFC North, get the lines of Vikings, the

698
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: Bears and Packers do, and then you go a f

699
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: C South route. Oh yeah, you get the you know,

700
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: the Titans, the Jaguars, that whole matter. That is what

701
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: the NFC West has out of division. So there is

702
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity for all four of these twins ten to

703
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: beat up on in those out of division games. If

704
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: you can go seven and one, then you split your

705
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: division game. They all win eleven and they're in. But

706
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: both of these Western divisions, it's like you're gonna you're

707
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: also gonna be like facing each other and you have

708
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: to sort of even out like someone couldn't someone. Everyone

709
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: has to win their division, you know, win some home

710
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: division games, get near five in on Kyler being for

711
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: real and carrying if he can stay healthy um with

712
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: that giant helmet in the little body running arond the field,

713
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: as long as he doesn't get dinged and bang up

714
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: that shoulder again or something else happens to him and

715
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: knock on glass that it doesn't happen. I think he's

716
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna have a monster year. And I see the same

717
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: thing you see Mark that they finally have now found.

718
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: It took him a year, but they found a true

719
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: number two compliment now to new Hopkins and uh no

720
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: one wants to say it, but replacing Fitzgerald and Rondale

721
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: Moore is like it's a massive from grade. So I'm

722
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm on this bandwagon with you, but writing together on

723
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: the this is this is that we're gonna have some

724
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be like an eight seventeen fifties automobile

725
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 1: by the way cart or whatever it is. We're gonna

726
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: have a lot of add ons inside this. But I

727
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: still I still think the other bandwagons and the Division

728
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: are a little ahead of them, but I like them

729
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: a lot. That's all. Well, they're behind us, which means

730
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: when we pull out our bow and arrow, we're firing

731
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: at them. They can't see us. And it's just like

732
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: that piece of cloth that has the opening in the

733
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: back and you're taking the opening. Sorry, Kyle Shanahan, you're

734
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: down with an arrow. In your shoulder, right you shoulder

735
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: and at Hoit's all right. Let's go around quick one

736
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: more time before we get to Thursday night football. Paul,

737
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: maybe brother Hanson here would like to hear some music. Yes, ma'am,

738
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: we need music out here, music to ward off the

739
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: loan in music to sustain the high courage needed by

740
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: dauntless pioneers in their conquest of the plane. Listen to that,

741
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:17,959
Speaker 1: the Internet of the old times. Yes, we're gonna ward

742
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: off the loneliness because all of us Jamis Winston deniers.

743
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: We're on the bandwagon. This is your last chance. Join us.

744
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: Realize that he tried to suck in week one. You

745
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: got excited and then he was another bandwagon of hate.

746
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: He was a This is not a hate. This is

747
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: not hate. This is just reality. He was a nightmare

748
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: against the Panthers. And I understand the Panthers might have

749
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: a way better defense than we thought. Um, but those

750
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: interceptions were straight out of the Jamis Winston Greatest Hits

751
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: catalog of the past. And I am not, you know,

752
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: celebrating the demise of the Saints by any stretch. They've

753
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: had a very tough year, both with the personnel and

754
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: with the hurricane and everything else, and there's a fire

755
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: at the super Dome today, Like what is covid on?

756
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: Who you know? Where the black Cats are? Like the

757
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: going under ladders? What is going on with the Saints?

758
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: But um, this is your chance now to be like,

759
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: oh no, I actually Winston is who we thought he was.

760
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 1: Let's head on out of here and let the other people,

761
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: like the lasik uh supporters of Jamis Winston. Uh you

762
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: know go up in flames. Well that's you're talking about

763
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: me because I've been but the whole you know, the

764
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: all the Lace people got very quiet on social media

765
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: this week. Uh. You know we talked about the billboard,

766
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: the LACEI billboard for Jamis Winston. I had I had

767
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: said hit the brakes on that campaign and wait for Sunday,

768
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: that was smart because I would have taken out that

769
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: entire business. Um, So hopefully there's no more billboards for

770
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: Jamis out there. Lasik related. This is your chance. Greg.

771
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm really talking to you because I know you have

772
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: a soft spot in your heart. Hop on the bend

773
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: when you're taking the West roll here to slam on

774
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: Winston by the Mariota, by the way, on I r

775
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: again there's a surprise. Just who is that one run?

776
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Marcus. All right, but anyway, well out

777
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: a draft class. But hop on with me. And it's

778
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: not something We're not stopping on the grave of your

779
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: beloved two lane Wave, Green Wave or New Orleans or

780
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: Louisiana or anything else. It's just let's move on. We

781
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: don't believe. No, I'm not going on that bandwagon. I mean,

782
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: if any other quarterback in the league was throwing to

783
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: this collection of players, the excuses that we would trot

784
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: out would be incredible. Oh wait a second, though, I'm again,

785
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: look at those interceptions. Okay, they really weren't open. Okay,

786
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: look at that game. Okay, that was that game was

787
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: over by the time he started turning the ball over

788
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: like that. Anyways, one of them was an armpunt third

789
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: and long midfield. Was he was trying to make a play.

790
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: But I think there's like a calculated thing there was

791
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,439
Speaker 1: like it's third and long at midfield. Rough you could

792
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: have said, oh there field goal range for fifty seven

793
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: yeards set up. Uh, I like the idea of terrible.

794
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: It was like it was second and two, it was

795
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: third and long. But it was like a long field goal.

796
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: So that's it's a question. I'm a loser, I am.

797
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: I I couldn't believe how bad the offensive line was,

798
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: and I think that's where you might be missing Drew Brees.

799
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the offensive line was dominated in the net game.

800
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 1: It was very confusing, but so much of it were

801
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: misscommunications and protection where free rushers were coming. And then

802
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: it gets a little shaky where Okay, they're missing their

803
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: center McCoy and they're missing Drew Brees to set the productions.

804
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: So those are the two guys, and like Carolina eight.

805
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: So I I don't know if that's on Winston or

806
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: who that's on, but if he gets that kind of

807
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: pass rush against him with those receivers, forget it. What

808
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean. I love a little Jordan Humphrey. He had

809
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: one catch, was the leading receiver, but yards I believe

810
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: it was. But it's like he's still like, well, I

811
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: don't want to slam a little Jordan Hunt, but I'm

812
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: a big guy. He's a big guy. They need to

813
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: for him to tight end him coming out of your break.

814
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: You do not need him as a starting receiver right now.

815
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: Me and Michael Thomas is what you need. I'm not

816
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: jumping on the bandwagon just because it's it feels like

817
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: a week kind of a bad energy ride. It's like

818
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him to continue to not succeed. I

819
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: don't know, No, it's just that he won't succeed, so

820
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: give up the ghost. I like, I can't think. I

821
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: can't think of a team in years that from week

822
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: one to week two where it's a total personality flips.

823
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: So I kind of want to see another week of Winston,

824
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: I know, but that's why I myself to not need

825
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: this bandwagon. It leaves without But all right, but as

826
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: long as you're not the one destroying Jameis Winston a

827
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: few weeks weeks from now because you waited too long,

828
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: the bandwagon's gone that the ramifications of this game keep changing.

829
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, all right, Greg, I feel stupid

830
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,959
Speaker 1: because before my my bandwagon was really about Derwin James,

831
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: and then I started like rambling and whatnot. So I

832
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: just wanted that to be clear. I like this Chargers team,

833
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: but it was Dermott James kind of having a special

834
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year season. This one is more

835
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: about an individual too, And I know this bandwagons quite crowded,

836
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: and Mark's been driving it. But man, I love me

837
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: some Kevin Stefanski lately that that team is so well coached.

838
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: You know, if you had said, like you got no

839
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, you got no Jarvis Landry, you got Felton

840
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: playing three snaps, and somehow you're leading receiver, Uh, you

841
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: got all of the different tight ends Briant Harrison Bryant, Like,

842
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: I just love the way that they attack opponents, how

843
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: it changes each week, how they're cohesive, the decisions that

844
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: he makes. I like the little smirk he makes when

845
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: David Culley uh makes a really bone headed punt instead

846
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: of you know, accepting a penalty, and Stefanski's like, yeah,

847
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: that would never happen in my Cleveland. Thing. It took

848
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: me a little longer to warm up to. But I'm

849
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: just thinking, like, is this gonna be a top five

850
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: offense no matter what's going on? Because I'm giving a

851
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: lot of the credit to the coaching. I am sorry, Baker,

852
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: but I'm giving a lot of credit to what's going

853
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: on in the running backs. And it's just a fun

854
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: I like good football and it's just a fun, cohesive

855
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: offense to to watch and so I'm just I'm just,

856
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm late on this bandwagon, but I'm in on

857
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: this fans. I will allow you on Greg because that

858
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: was an incredible soliloquy that um was music to my years.

859
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you just have to go back through the

860
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: years they had the soul. I mean you can have

861
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: that man with like coach of the year type stuff.

862
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: Did he get it last year? Did he shot? I

863
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: think he did, But I think that's more about becoming

864
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: a better team. But they have had such a laundry

865
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: list over decades of hideous game day managers, a coach.

866
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, guys that just could not coach themselves. They

867
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: they're very good at getting you into problems with no

868
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: concept how to get out. Stefansky I thought in that

869
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: game it got a little rough at one point, and

870
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: he I thought he's appropriately aggressive, but he also brought

871
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: them back to their roots, which is what they are

872
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: in the second half and just ran the ball down

873
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: Houston's right through Houston's defense. And every week they look

874
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: a little bit different. They're fluid, they're flexible, and I

875
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: think if I saw Stefanski, it's like one of the

876
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: few people and who is making you star struck at

877
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: this point. I could listen like five or six people.

878
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: I would not know what to say if I saw him,

879
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: because I do think to me, he's moving higher into

880
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: higher echelons of fandom for me because who he is

881
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: on a game day week after week he as Greg described,

882
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 1: I think a huge as. I mean, I just made

883
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: like a cardinal sin is never talked about the Browns

884
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: or Jets on my own because it's like we're gonna

885
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: have that overly covered anyways. But I think it was

886
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: like I've waited with Stefans game a little bit baker,

887
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: and I know it's only two games, but I I

888
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: did just want to see, Okay, how did they come

889
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: out in year two? That was incredible year one? And

890
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: somehow I'm I'm more impressed. I don't know. Maybe it's

891
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: because of the injuries and the variety and the different

892
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: people they're using, like they're not even getting anything out

893
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: of people's jones, and I just think they're they're They're

894
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: a beautiful operation to watch. How about you, Mark, I

895
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: have I was gonna Metric mentioned Dimitric Felton, but I

896
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: will not because it's been mentioned. Um. I was gonna

897
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: also say that you want to stay on that bandwagon,

898
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: remaining vigilant for what's going to happen this year the

899
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: big news item involving a cheerleader. That was my sandwich

900
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: prop um, just to keep an eye on that. But

901
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: that I'm not saying that you need to get on

902
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 1: that bandwagon, but the bandwagon that's something bad is going

903
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: to happen to a cheerleader. Just stay vigilant. Yeah, I didn't.

904
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't bad. I'm not on that band that she's

905
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna make it. That's true. It could have necessarily been.

906
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: We don't know if it was. She was gonna be

907
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: on like a dateline episode or something. I just didn't

908
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: feel good about it. So I'm just saying it was

909
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: one of the thing never specified, Um, the gender, because

910
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, the Rams have a ton of male cheerleaders,

911
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: the guys that throw the girls, right. But see, when

912
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: you assume that it's a female cheerleader, you need to yourself,

913
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: you mark and you're referring to a female here later

914
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: all right, Well, so where I really am going to

915
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: go with this instead is um what I am And

916
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: this is this is something I just learned in the

917
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: last couple of days. Here. What I think is maybe

918
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: a brewing annoyance on the part of Big Ben with

919
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: new play caller Matt Canada. He has already resorted to

920
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: the very weather worn blow offline that players give when

921
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: they were asking about the offense. Just crumbling against this

922
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: look bad against the Raiders. He basically just you know,

923
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: over and over you'll have to ask Coach Canada that

924
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: I love saying that you know you've got issues and

925
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: didn't they make this guy the coordinator because Ben was

926
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: bad mouth in the like I think with Russell Wilson,

927
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: you can think like they're gonna work together well all

928
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: year long because Russell Wilson seems amiable. I don't know

929
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: what water that holds the Big Ben. But hold on

930
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: one little other thing before we be taking because I

931
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: want to like with the what we're the segment we're

932
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: doing here, and I'm all for slinging arrows at teams

933
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: you players you don't like, But what bandwagon are we

934
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: talking about? This is the band the Big Ben's brewing

935
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: annoyance with Matt Canada band I thought I have struggling

936
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: with the concept here, all right, Well, I had a

937
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: bunch of positive when I gave you a nice little

938
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: thing about the car Big Ben's brewing annoyance with the

939
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator man Wagon and gave you a little nice

940
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: one about the Cardinals. Now this second point, after he

941
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: kept saying you'll have to ask coach Canada, that he's

942
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: turned around and said, we've got some really good football

943
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: players that you want to get on the football field.

944
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: So if you don't have them out there, they're sitting

945
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: on the bench doing nothing. Well, you also have James Washington,

946
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: who is he even talking? Well, I don't know certain

947
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: packages when people weren't out there, but big but for

948
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: him to say that, by the way, as the opposite

949
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: of what's happening on functional team, you have some big

950
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: Ben Bengo cooking here. Because now there's the report um

951
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: confirmed by the team that he has pectoral injury. I'm sure,

952
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure that will not come up again if they

953
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: offense continues to struggle. I I love the drama because

954
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: he also kept trying to say, like during the press

955
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: conference right after the game at least, that that he

956
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: needed to improve, and the local reporter or Mark Cobboli,

957
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: who was always a check guest for the athletic thought

958
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: that it was almost in direct response to something Chris

959
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: Carter said, which I guess got attention that Ben always

960
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: makes excuses and complains and brings attention to himself so

961
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: bed and like a sort of like a child. The

962
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: next press conference just go every answer he said, well

963
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: that I have to do better like just like like

964
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: it respond like he was like subtly passive, aggressively going

965
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: back at Carter by just like petulantly. It's amazing. What

966
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: was that then? I you know, I think what you're

967
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: dancing around the ultimately mark and maybe it will be

968
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: more clear within the segments constraints. Here is the a

969
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: f C. North is moving on without the Steelers manwagon.

970
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: Why don't you just throw it out there. I can't

971
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: say that yet because I still always feel like that's

972
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 1: your own bandwagon. Tomlin find well, this is more big

973
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: Bens and brewing annoyance with Matt Canada is not mean

974
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying they're going to win five games. But the offense,

975
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: I think has the offensive line, which was a mystery

976
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: coming in. Um feels Ill prepared. Well, we'll talk more

977
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: about the Steelers on Thursday. But I think I think

978
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: we're on the same page. I think you're dancing a

979
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: little bit around your own bandwagon here, but I think

980
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: I know where you're going. Um, all right, well I

981
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: can do that around my bandwagon. I can park it

982
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: in the middle of do what everyone, Let's hear a

983
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: woman again? You know just that that lady before we

984
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: move on, colleague, Yes, my husband filed his claim last

985
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: spring and came back for the children and me and July.

986
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: You'll find things very different out here. Yeah, yess she medicated.

987
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: She sounds like very like stylistic ways of speaking, have

988
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: like a drug induced scientology area. But the other woman

989
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: very stern. You like, you'll find things different out here.

990
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 1: I like that. I like her. All right, let's pause

991
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 1: here for a word from our sponsors. Alright, we're back,

992
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: all right, before we before we go, let's start looking

993
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: towards week three with a little Thursday night football preview.

994
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: And to do that, we welcome a great friends as

995
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 1: a wolf and she'll blow your house down. The tiny

996
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: box Connie Fox, some call our colleagues, welcome back. How

997
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: you like our studio in the in the studio huge

998
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: box right now, there's no longer tiny yep. Hey, yeah,

999
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: that's your new name, Huge Box. All right, listen, Colleen,

1000
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: let's let's get into Thursday Night Football. And everyone should

1001
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: know by now that Colleen is the host of Thursday

1002
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: Night Football and NFL Network. And I was a little

1003
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: upset about young and Sweaty and you didn't have a

1004
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: chance to get them up on the platform last week.

1005
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: Washington's defense didn't really play a starring role. But we

1006
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: get another shot now here with Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans. Um,

1007
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: this is a game that will be interesting, of course,

1008
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: with uh a third string rookie quarterback starting for the

1009
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: Houston Texans and the Panthers who have become a story

1010
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: here in the NFL. How do you feel about what

1011
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: you've seen so far? Well, I was just wondering, like,

1012
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: do you have a young and sweaty UH style nickname

1013
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: for anyone on this team? Is there anything I need

1014
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: to have worked towards to make up for from last week?

1015
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: Let me get back to maybe Matt Rules, I mean,

1016
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 1: he's he's the guy Rules Donald. We got some things

1017
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: to work with here, CMC. General you can call him

1018
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: General Mills when Davis Mills, you know, is on the

1019
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: podium with you. Pretty good? All right, that's awesome? Like

1020
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: that one. Uh, Davis Mills, I have a feeling, uh

1021
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: in these games on Thursday Night. We've had some games

1022
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: in the past where there's a relatively unknown quarterback starting,

1023
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: whether it's because of injury or or whatever. So we've

1024
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: seen it with Nick Mullins before, where we've had him

1025
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: on the post Nick Mullins game right exactly, so I

1026
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: could see this happening exactly Taylor Heineke. Uh, it's not

1027
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: like it hasn't been done before. So Davis Mills, that's

1028
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: who I'm watching for, and he's he's in a really

1029
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: unending enviable position because this is his first start, hits

1030
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: on a short week, so he has condensed timing here

1031
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: to prep um. So he's lucky that it's not an

1032
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: away game because then that would be even shorter amount

1033
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: of time for him. But it's not like he has

1034
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: a very strong set of skill position players to help

1035
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: him out either. Like Taylor Heineke was in a spot

1036
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: where there they have some guys like Terry McLaurin that

1037
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,839
Speaker 1: could get him out of a jam, and they also

1038
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: have a running game there with Antonio Gibson. This is

1039
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different story. So UH and

1040
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 1: and not to mention he is a little bit different

1041
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: than Tyrod Taylor and the fact that he's more of

1042
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: a pocket passer. He doesn't have that mobility, so a

1043
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: lot of things are different. And then this Panther's defense,

1044
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: which has done a really good job this far in

1045
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: the season. They've allowed the fewest yards per game in

1046
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: the NFL through these first two games and buy a

1047
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: lot like forty four yards per game, fewer than the

1048
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: number two ranked Bills. So they were really good against

1049
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: the Saints had two picks, so Jamis Winston looking more

1050
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,720
Speaker 1: like Jamis Winston of old. They sacked Jamis Winston four times.

1051
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:57,479
Speaker 1: But this front seven looks legit. I mean it's it's

1052
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: the top defense and yardage both pass and total. They

1053
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: lead the league in points allowed. Uh. Phil Snow, who

1054
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: really didn't have a lot of pro experience, has coordinated

1055
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: that defense so well. And I just love what's happening

1056
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: because you're looking at guys like Shaq Thompson who were

1057
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: on the team already playing their best football, and it's

1058
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: guys like Brian Burns who continue to develop under this

1059
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: coaching staff. And I just like to say, let it snow,

1060
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: Phil Snow and this defense are gonna put it on.

1061
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna be seeing Davis Mills up

1062
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,479
Speaker 1: on the podium now. You never know. I mean, things

1063
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: are weird on these games. You're right about that. It's

1064
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: in Houston. I don't know if that's a huge benefit

1065
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: or not, but I'm telling you, team, yeah, let's go.

1066
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: I like that. I'm just doing all of my prep

1067
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: live on the show with you guys. That's good. Keep

1068
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: it coming. These are great ideas. Gang. This is We

1069
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: just did a segment about jumping on bandwagons, and I

1070
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: didn't want to talk too much Panthers because we were

1071
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: going to do it right now. But I can think

1072
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: of no more sturdy bandwagon to jump on then the

1073
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. They are a playoff team. They've got a

1074
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: coach that that Colleen and I met in person. I've

1075
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: been through that story a thousand times. Immediately a fan,

1076
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 1: and I just I love the direction of the entire offense, defense, everything.

1077
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: They might have a kicker issue that bummed. I can't

1078
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,320
Speaker 1: believe the Panthers didn't come up in the last segment

1079
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: because they're great. They are a great Sampan wagon mark.

1080
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: They are a great example because you look at their schedule,

1081
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: what they've done so far and who they have on Thursday,

1082
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: and there is a chance that maybe this isn't it.

1083
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: They aren't for real when things tighten up. But this

1084
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,439
Speaker 1: is your chance, if you believe what you've seen so far.

1085
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: This is the chance to say the Panthers are legit

1086
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: and you're rolling through the prairie land. Yeah, and we've

1087
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: talked about me and Sessler mentioned that we met Matt Rule.

1088
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: Actually covered Matt Rule when I was back in Philly

1089
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: and he was the head coach at Temple. So this

1090
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: this team, it's it's looking a lot better, even in

1091
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: that secondary. I feel like the secondary of the Panthers

1092
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: is improved too, because we've talked a lot about the

1093
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: front seven looking really legit with Brian Burns and Hassan

1094
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: Reddick and Morgan Fox Um Morgan Fox who eight quarterback

1095
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: pressures last week half of sack, so they can do

1096
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: so many things up front. They can really switch it up.

1097
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 1: They're really dynamic, they're so fast. But the secondary too, Uh,

1098
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: they should have a pretty decent time limiting the Texans

1099
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: receivers because you're not really going to have a threat

1100
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: of I think the deep ball from Davis Mills a J.

1101
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: Bouyer back from a cannon. If nothing else, Davis Mills

1102
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: might uncork a couple Brandon Cooks. I don't know. Hey,

1103
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 1: maybe you're right. That's that's actually a good point. So

1104
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,720
Speaker 1: maybe the Panthers secondary will get exposed by Davis Mills.

1105
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: That's something to watch for. Weird things happen on Thursday night.

1106
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: And you know, Connie Matt met Rule had my heart

1107
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: when we met him at the owners meetings and I

1108
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 1: asked him, do you like the Hampton's or the Jersey Shore?

1109
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: And you know where he went? Now, Connie's more of

1110
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: a uh Southern Tip Exit three type girl garden, say

1111
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: the Wildwood region. Yeah, I'm more the bel Mar Point,

1112
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: pleasant Um Seaside heights, like Wall Township, Wall Township, Devin

1113
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: Keith live in spring Lake. I like that area. But

1114
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: if he's Jersey Shore over the Hampton's, you know he's

1115
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: good people. Yeah, I mean, at least we can all

1116
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: agree on, like the Jersey Shore is really amazing and

1117
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: nothing like what people think it is. It is dawning

1118
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: on me that actually I don't think Matt Rule ever

1119
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: would have approached me, except that I was with Colleen

1120
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: at this starting to realize that it's not a true

1121
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: it's not true. Great guy, it matters a little bit.

1122
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: He still was really nice. I'm disappointed that Tyrod has

1123
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: gone because when it was halftime, right when he got hurt,

1124
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: when we found out that he was going to leave,

1125
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: they were given the Browns everything they could handle. At

1126
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: that point in the season. They were as good as

1127
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: any team in the NFL through six quarters. Even even

1128
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: after that, like, they've been really respectable on defense. I

1129
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: think their offensive coordinator, who they kept from the previous regime,

1130
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly, did you say any good as any team

1131
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL through six quarters? That's crazy. But they

1132
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: absolutely blew out the team they played in Week one,

1133
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: and they were playing they were playing the Browns even

1134
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: maybe even better. I had a channel the spirit and Tyrod,

1135
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: and and yet I think they can't make this number

1136
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: big enough for the Panthers not to go over. I

1137
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: think they're gonna destroy Davis Mills. I thought Davis Mills

1138
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: had a touchdown drive last week, but was a bit

1139
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,439
Speaker 1: of a mess. Was misscommunications, throws behind, players didn't look

1140
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: ready for it. I'm embarrassed. How much preseason I watched

1141
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: Davis Mills. He's gonna have like a couple like Mettenburger

1142
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: or Mike Glennon type throws in there, but he's not

1143
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: ready for this, Like he is not ready any They're

1144
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: going up against a pretty well run offense too. With

1145
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: Sam Donald hitting those first reads that they figured out

1146
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: the protection, They're like, I, I think you're gonna get

1147
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: a dud. I think Davis Mills is gonna go up.

1148
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: I think Colleen's gonna be sitting with Sam Donald if

1149
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: things go right for the PA. Now you got to

1150
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: get McCaffrey or Robbie and someone with the little person out. Yeah,

1151
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean you know what, Sorry Donald, with Sam Donald,

1152
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy when you think about the Saints

1153
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: struggled more with Donald than they did against Aaron Rodgers.

1154
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 1: Like it's just been kind of a weird first two

1155
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Could you if Donald is on

1156
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: the podium, could you call him s darn starn starn Um.

1157
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't put that in the list for Maybes. It

1158
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: doesn't flow that great. That's Sessler's nickname, But so take it.

1159
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: Take it doesn't flow that great? Is my creation that

1160
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: I came up with no. Sorry, I take it back.

1161
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: I take it back. Let's fix that in posts. It's

1162
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: got any Tito's behind you there by the way I do. Alright, Well,

1163
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's gone from last night until Johnny when

1164
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: I came over with Cessler for our little Once upon

1165
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: a Time at Hollywood viewing party where things got wild

1166
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: over the summer. He didn't have the Tito's heard and

1167
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: that was a nice time. It's fair to say that

1168
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: not everyone viewed the same amount of that movie. Uh

1169
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: that evening anyway, Connie, safe journey, enjoy the game, and uh,

1170
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: we're proud of you. What a journey you've had, a

1171
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 1: career you've built. But it's all over, guys, it's all

1172
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: downhill from here, listen. I promise though. Now I am

1173
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: going to work in star just to make good on this.

1174
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: So it's gonna happen at some point in the pregame

1175
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: show a star is happening. Drop you have to name

1176
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: drop my name as well. So there's just add to

1177
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: the list of priorities. God, there's so many things. And

1178
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: all you remember Informer by the artist Snow Yes, all right.

1179
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: The name of the name of this album was twelve

1180
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: inches of snow. So if you want to throw that

1181
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: on the list as well, great, alright, I wrote that

1182
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: one down to gang. All right, there she goes, all right,

1183
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: what a joy? I mean, she just brings the sunshine

1184
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: to the program. Absolutely, I agree with you, program program.

1200
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: a time. Mark, I am with cars. I only got

1201
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: to get in that thing before it stalls out on you.

1202
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 1: You can't leave a car running for too long. I've

1203
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: done that before. No, I did a bad job with that.

1204
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 1: I thought that we would, you know, for the first

1205
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: time in two years, actually start on time, and I miscalculated.

1206
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: All right, do you want to grab lunch with me

1207
