Sometimes when you walk in and you see 6 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: the name, you know, you just walk by. And then 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: there was other times where you just see it and 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: you just like it kind of stops you in track. 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: It could be good, it can be jarring, but it's 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: like I can't believe. I still can't believe that we 11 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: walk into this studio with his name on it in 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: front of us every day. It is bittersweet. Um, but yes, 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: so we here. We are in the Chris Westling podcast Studio. 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: The week seven flagship program is here, and we're just 15 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: looking for a few good teams. That's what it's now 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday's an investing Asian. Where are the good teams? 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: There have to be good teams in New York, and 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: we have some teams in New York. We're also waiting 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: for Jesus to return, and they're little likelihood of finding 20 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: a patch of good teams. It's about equal at this point. 21 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: So we know, we know we have the bills. If 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: I'll just took the live stream down, I'm just saying, 23 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, check us out and save it for the 24 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: theology show. Mark. We know that we know that the 25 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: bills are great. They're on buy, so not that they 26 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: need to be part of the investigation. We know the 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs are very good. We're gonna get to that in 28 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: a second. We know the Eagles are undefeated. Let's see 29 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: if we can find some teams that we quality that 30 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: qualify as good by the end of day's episode. That's 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: a little challenge for both us and the listeners and 32 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: viewers of the live stream. So yes, is that?

I'm in a little 35 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: bit of a state of mourning because of some news 36 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: that came down around the most impactful young jet on 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: offense in a very long time. So I am very 38 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: much in uh professional mode right now and processing the 39 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: grief while also knowing we have work to do here. 40 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: You are um of most many of the adults that 41 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: I know who are football fans. You are a died 42 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: in the wall true Jets fan who said, you know, 43 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: spent the weekend tracking the Yankees too. It's been an 44 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: up and down journey for you. So you are a 45 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: professional Dan. Thank you, Mark, I really appreciate that. Alright, 46 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: So without further ado, the professionals roll on. Let us 47 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: start this week, yes with one of the teams that 48 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: we know very good. The team they were playing. I'm 49 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: not so sure. Maybe maybe not. Well, let's see what 50 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: happened between the San Francisco forty Niners and the Kansas 51 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Time to throw over the middle, Jesus Smith Schister, 52 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: wide open chooks, the safety tan gets up black angling 53 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: near side pylon touchdown Kansas City in his yards after 54 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: catch all day long for five yard touchdown reception by 55 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: Jue Juice Smith Schuster. And we know Mitch Holtis of 56 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: w d A F is all class all the way, 57 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: a little you know, a little yeah, yards after catch 58 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: all day long, everybody calls the yacht. Look, but ju 59 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: Smith Schuster and company are doing for the Chiefs, who 60 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: rolled to a forty four three win over the Niners 61 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: at the Big Bell Bottom. Mahomes throws her foe and 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: three touchdowns and Kansas City comes back from double digit 63 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: down here boys, uh and they do it. It's actually, 64 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: you think about this game and it just ended. You know, 65 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. They were down double digits in 66 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: this game, but that's what they were early on. But 67 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: once that Kansas City machine gets going, it's it's really 68 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: a sight to behold still even now, even more impressive 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: now Greg because Tyreek Hill is not there anymore and 70 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: he's ain't history because this team is generating more big 71 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: plays downfield now than they were last year when they 72 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: had the greatest downfield playmaker of this generation. I think 73 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: that was what was missed in the Tyreek Hill discussion 74 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: in the off season. Yeah, maybe they're not back to 75 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: where they were when they were in the playoffs and 76 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: what was the score in that Texan Divisional round game? 77 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: Twenty four and nothing and you just expected them to 78 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: come back. But a year ago, that was the worst 79 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: Chief's offensive Andy Reid's life, including when he had Alex Smith, 80 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: and they weren't gonna stay down at this level. And 81 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: he tinkered and he fixed some things up and he's 82 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: got the Michael Jordan of football and suddenly you're putting 83 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: nine point one yards per play on the number one 84 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: or or maybe the most talented defense in the league. 85 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean that said, there were obvious questions and I 86 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: think fair quick concerns about whether Juju Smith Schuster would 87 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: become a force in this offense, whether markest veld As 88 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: Scantley would. They both have a hundred plus yards today 89 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: and the deep passing game from the homes is totally on, 90 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: and they are yards after the catch. It just seems 91 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: like every week it's a different person stepping up, and 92 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: I kind of love the versatility, which before it really 93 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: boiled down to Tyreek Kill to Travis Kelsey and now 94 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: you don't know which guy's gonna wind up playing hero. 95 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: And I think the last couple of weeks to Juju 96 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: is look great. He has. He really feels like you 97 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: could tell he's getting more and more comfortable in this office. 98 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: You kind of forgot how, even though he's not the 99 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: flashiest player in terms of athletic ability, what a big 100 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: time playmaker he was for the Steelers before Ben got 101 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: old and then everything kind of uh down shifted in Pittsburgh. 102 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: Now you see him playing with a big time quarterback, 103 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league are arguably and I 104 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: think that's kind of the skeleton key here as well. 105 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's mahomes greatness, which is his ability 106 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: to lift others up. And and I'll say this because 107 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: we you kind of you were challenging Aaron Rodgers to 108 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: do the same thing in Green Bay, and I think 109 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is an all time quarterback himself. But it's 110 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: not that easy. But Mahomes makes this stuff look easy. 111 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: And it helped that Andy Reid is there to help 112 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: him along. Andy Reid helps with the structured plays and 113 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: the schemed up plays, and they came up with plenty 114 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: of those. But Mahomes makes the plays that almost no 115 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: one else can make. I know he had the late 116 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: interception last week. I think on a week to week basis, 117 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: he would have my not as just the best quarterback 118 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: in the league thus far. This is a ridiculous number 119 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: to put up at the end of the season and 120 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: kind of the m v P race and everything to 121 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: do this. On the fort of all, it's tight with 122 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and there are different types of quarterbacks. But 123 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: I think some of what I feel gets lost with 124 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: Mahomes is that he makes these flashy side arm throws 125 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: and does stuff that looks video game arcade like, but 126 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: he does He just does the basic quarterback stuff as 127 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: well as anyone in the league. And when they're throwing 128 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: the ball this way against I know that the Niners 129 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: are a little banged up, but against the defense like this, 130 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know what the ceiling is for 131 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I don't think there is one. And on 132 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: the Niner side of things, of course, this was the 133 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: debut of Christian McCaffrey, who had a role. He at 134 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: ten touches in the game look good, especially early on 135 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: on some runs, and you know, it just does show 136 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,559 Speaker 1: you at Jimmy g Is. Ultimately the stat line looks fine, 137 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: but he threw an absolutely dreadful interception in the final 138 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: seconds of the second quarter that kind of changed the 139 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: complexion of this game. I know the Niners kind of 140 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: got back into it a little bit at one point 141 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: in the third quarter before Kansas City just put their 142 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: foot on the pedal again. But Garoppolo's interception, there's just 143 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: kind of a reminder that he's just he's not special. 144 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: And when you get into these situations where the Niners 145 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: being compromised on defense because of the injuries. It's gonna 146 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: be a problem, uh, in these types of affairs. He 147 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: looked really good early on, and it was kind of like, 148 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: oh when when everything around Jimmy g is functioning and 149 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: he's he's you know, in his accuracy mode, he's fine. 150 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: But I mean late in the game, it was concerning 151 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: to see him just sort of walk into a sack. 152 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: That was a big problem. Then on the next play, 153 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: Frank Clark goes right around Trent Williamson devastates him in 154 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: the end zone. Like everything just started to fall apart 155 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: for them, right. Their recipe is what their recipe kind 156 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: of was in that Super Bowl and till the fourth quarter, 157 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: it's it's running and uh, it's defense. And they are 158 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: banged up, and they will get more players back, like 159 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: Eric Armstead, but they did have a lot of their 160 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: guys back today. Now, maybe they don't play at their 161 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: very best in their first game back, like Bosa was back. 162 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: Chart Various war did end up playing in this game. 163 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: They get they get McCaffrey, they get Trent Williams back. 164 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: I just think it's just a reminder to me that 165 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Bills. You're you're talking about those 166 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: good teams. Not a lot of those good teams are 167 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: in the NFC. It doesn't feel like to me, and 168 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: that these two teams are kind of in one bucket, 169 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: and the Eagles are this new team, and I almost 170 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: put them in in their own separate thing. And then 171 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: there's everyone else because the forty niners are three and four, 172 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: and yet they're probably not in a bad spot really 173 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: in the NFC West or the NFC. How about this, Greggy, 174 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: let's go through it scientifically. Okay, as we stayed at 175 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: the top of the show, chiefs good, very good. Yeah, 176 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: maybe great, I would say great potentially. Yeah, Okay, they're good. 177 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: We're looking for good right now. Ok we're gonna figure 178 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: good good. I think they are good. I know they 179 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: just go by majority rules. But the three are good. 180 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: You're good if everyone around you is a sinking ship. Hey, 181 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: this is science. Science is science. They are three and four. 182 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: It's a it's a very fair point to make after 183 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: seven weeks, not really a hallmark of the teams that 184 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: you would call good. Let's check in with North into 185 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: North Texas to see if we can find some more goodness. 186 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: Three minutes first involved at the one, Prescott under center, 187 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: collared motion right, Pardot, Elliott purling on the sign wait 188 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: Curst touchdown, touch down Elliot. That might be enough. And 189 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: it was Brad Sham the sham god k r L 190 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: d Zeke Elliott ran for a pair of one yard scores. 191 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott threw a touchdown in his return to the 192 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: lineup after thumb surgery, and that Cowboys defense did what 193 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: it does, forcing five turnover and six over them. No, 194 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: I won't do it yet, Well I could, but I won't. 195 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: Look over the struggling Detroit Lions a game here, um 196 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: Greg that also featured we'll get into really the flash 197 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: point in the game, Dallas recovered Jamal Williams fumble inside 198 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: its own one with a four point lead early in 199 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. That I guess that was it. It 200 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: was because there just wasn't enough consistent offense from either 201 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: team that at at that point you realize it just 202 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be the Lion's day. It was a 203 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 1: third time they had turned it over. Golf had a 204 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: couple of late ones, but he also had two ugly picks. 205 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Its game looked like two picks, two interceptions. Yeah, and 206 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: then two fumbles were in garbage time, but they had 207 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: three killer turnovers, including that Jamal Williams one. Even before 208 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: garbage time, it was a ten six game and the 209 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: yardage was even. And you know that even in with 210 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: three minutes left in the game, it was still ten 211 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: to six. Uh so it was close, and yet the 212 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: Lions just find a way to mess it up. There 213 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: there offense. Now two straight games after everyone talked about 214 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: like this is the number one offense in the league, 215 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: has scored zero and then they scored six. So that's 216 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: no touchdowns in the two games. They have a combined 217 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: eight turnovers I believe are seven turnovers and golf was 218 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: flu mixed. And I love how the Dallas defense has 219 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: more than just Parsons. Parsons had a good game, but 220 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: Sam Williams had a monster game. This rookie pass rushert 221 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: just like new guys pop up each week with a 222 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: couple of sacks. I mean, the Cowboys could beat anyone 223 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: in the league outside of maybe I think Buffalo and Cancers. 224 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: I think they are think they have a great defense. 225 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: Give me a dingy gave a great defense. And also, 226 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you are causing some of these turnovers. If 227 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: you're the Lions, you wanted you wanted at this point 228 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: to be three and three, maybe you need to not 229 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: be making mistake. Said absolutely, crucify yourself. Your second half. 230 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: Drug stuff in this episode, all right, did cause you issues. 231 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to get there necessarily. I mean, but 232 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: it's so Lions. And we apologize to the Lions fans 233 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: at this point. Why did we did? It's not our fault. 234 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: But if I was a Lions fan, I just we 235 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: didn't need to, you know, we picked them as team 236 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 1: around the NFL in lost five sets. It was this 237 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: very Lions where that play where he fumbled on the 238 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: one yard line, Dan, they had a nice reception, Uh, 239 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: he was going in looked like he scored a touchdown. 240 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: They could have challenged Dan Campbell could have challenged it. 241 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: He decided not to because it was first in goal 242 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: replaced show. They actually probably would have moved the ball forward, 243 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: uh like a half of a yard because it was 244 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: a bad spot. But it wasn't a touch then, so 245 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: it wasn't like a crazy non challenge. And then Jamal 246 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: Williams who fumbled That was his first lost fumble of 247 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: his career. He's in year six. So it's not like 248 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: there's something you can coach here. It just is like 249 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: this is what happens when you're alliance. Well, you know 250 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: what else happens, Dan Campbell, Now I believe for eighteen 251 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: and one as a head coach, and this is becoming 252 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: something something of an unfortunate tradition on this show on 253 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: Sunday nights. Let's listen to sad Dan Campbell. I'm frustrated 254 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: from losing, just like I was last year, just like 255 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: I was anytime I love it, just like I was 256 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: in New Orleans when we lost the game, and you know, 257 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: you don't like to lose games, you know, And uh 258 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: but I'm not down and I'm not losing confidence. I'm 259 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: not gonna go hide in the corner um. This is 260 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: the sad Hard Knocks music. Someone gets injured or gets 261 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: called into the GM's office for a chat. I feel 262 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: like that's where we are. It does feel like a 263 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: long time ago now that Jamal Williams was the comic 264 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: relief of the Hard Knocks summer episodes that were so 265 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: well received, And if you want to go resurface the 266 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks podcast this week, should think if people should 267 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: probably listen to his completion. Um So, the lines at 268 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: one in five, it's more the same. Unfortunately for that team, 269 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: it is um and I think Goff has shown his limitation. 270 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: Remember earlier this season, I was trying to say, I 271 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: don't think he's playing like that. Well, he was producing, 272 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: he was he was in the system, and they had 273 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: bad like aman Ross and Brown returned for this game 274 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: and then left after the first couple of plays with 275 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: a concussion. DJ Chark, who was supposed to be their 276 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: number one receiver, is now an injured reserve. That was 277 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: a late week addition to injured reserve for Chark and 278 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift didn't play in this game. So they've had 279 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: they've had terrible luck, and they happened to show up 280 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: on the week. You know, Dak Prescott shows up. Let's 281 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: Prescott got better. Let's hear Daddy on deck not the 282 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: deck performed better as a game went on. You know, 283 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: I think he's like anything. You know, his first time 284 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: he's been out there in quite some time. Um so, 285 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: but you know, starting with the command of the huddle 286 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: and the whole operation, I thought he was really one 287 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: point there. Um So, you know, handled the adjustments that 288 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: we're going during the course of the game, so you know, 289 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: those are the little things that don't show up in 290 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: the I like that. I have the same analysis as 291 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: the actual NFL head coachair stop it. He was out 292 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: of rhythm. I don't think you know, he had a 293 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: couple of incredible throws, like in the third drive of 294 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: the game. But for the most part, their offense wasn't great. 295 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: It was successful when they were running straight at Detroit. 296 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: But that's one of the reasons why that the Cowboys 297 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: are good. I think their offensive line has gotten better 298 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: and they can run the ball, and they did today 299 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: in the key spots. They have a great defense, and 300 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: they have an experienced quarterback that who didn't play great today, 301 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: but on that game winning driver or game ceiling drive, 302 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: really he had a third and eight and they were 303 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: showing pressure and then he changes the play before the 304 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: snap and he picks the exact receiver to hit, and 305 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: then they end up running in a few plays later. 306 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: Like that's the Dak Prescott experience you weren't getting with 307 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. And that's why it's unanimous the Cowboys are good. 308 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: The lines we don't have to call the vote no, 309 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: decisively good the Cowboys. Let's move to Charlotte where the 310 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks are obviously good. They have Tom Brady, right, 311 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: so they were gonna cake walk against the Panthers, and 312 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: that's what happened, right negative what spoiler fires down? Feel 313 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: Tommy Trouble's open to catch. Done Panthers. That's gorgeous like that? 314 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: Who was that a nice roff? And that was either 315 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: Jake Dilm or Luke Kikley on w BT. That's gorgeous. 316 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: What a crew. We need more Panthers highlights this year. 317 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: Turn up the tremble because the Carolina Panthers, I think 318 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: they were thirteen and a half point underdogs and what 319 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: do they do? They hang a three win on the Bucks. 320 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: The Bucks and Tom Brady? What the hell is going 321 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: on here? Mark? Everyone saw it. The worst drop of 322 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: the year was Mike Evans all alone, which would have 323 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: been a long touchdown on the third play from scrimmage, 324 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: and that was the closest they ever got to scoring. 325 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: I think that's set the tone and it's it. Their 326 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,239 Speaker 1: offense has become an increasing calamity and today it's just 327 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: you can see everyone's frustration. It's not just Brady that 328 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: after that that drop was one of the worst drops 329 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: I think we've ever seen during the run of his podcast. 330 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: It was just it's also who it was, and I 331 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: would have unhooked them, I think, and I think that. 332 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: I think it's just like they're not mentally tough on 333 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: offense right now. When things don't go well, you can 334 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 1: just see it seems to catch up with the I mean, 335 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: there are other examples. Because they were down seven nothing. 336 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: This game was a mess for a long while. They 337 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: were down seven nothing midway through the third quarter, it's 338 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: fourth and one at the Carolina Leonardard Fournette stopped stuffed 339 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: drive over three straight in completions um from at the 340 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,479 Speaker 1: Carolina eight. On a later drive where they scored, they 341 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: end up winding a kicking a field goal when they 342 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: were down fourteen nothing. I don't even know why you're 343 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: kicking a field goal at that point. You gotta get 344 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think, Yeah, it bothers me call it off. 345 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not happening for him right now. It 346 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: was fourth and eight, season to go. But that field 347 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: goal that was that was that was a mess, and 348 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: it tells me how much they don't trust what they 349 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: can do. It was one to three, it's three, it's 350 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: fourth and eight from the Carolina. Brady is lucky he 351 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: doesn't throw a pick. I mean, it's just like Brady 352 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: is not He'll make good throws every game. But this 353 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: offense is so out of sync. And I think what 354 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: happened there is because they kept crumbling. That opened the 355 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: door for p J. Walker, who had ten straight completions 356 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: at one point, and as eleventh was an absolute beautiful 357 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,239 Speaker 1: touchdown Dart and their ground game. Everyone's talking about there. 358 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: They're they're cutting too highlights of Christian McCaffrey's showing up 359 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: in San Francisco and sunglasses. Oh sorry, Panthers fans. They're saying, 360 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: forget about it. Like they looked great. It looked really 361 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: good in the sunglasses. Christian he did. Dante Foreman ran 362 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: over this Buck's defense, and Chewa Hubbard ran over this 363 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: Buck's defense, and you know they're really banged up. The 364 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: things back can only do so much, especially on this Panthers. 365 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: Their whole Bucks secondary was they lost two more guys 366 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: in the secondary. They've already missing a bunch of people. 367 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: So as soon as these guys got past the first layer, 368 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: they were eating up like thirty five. There a lot 369 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: of long runs in this It was just a beat down. 370 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: This season was a good team right now. Yeah, absolutely, 371 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna call a vote soon. But I I know 372 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: where you're going with it, and I might agree the 373 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: fact that I'm down for calling off this ball's assance 374 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: if there ever was one, Greggy is not even so 375 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: much because there was when they won the Super Bowl. 376 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: But can I say one thing I think this team, 377 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: Mrs Bruce arians Really it's kind of where I'm getting 378 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: at because it's not just the offense that's struggling and 379 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: Tom Brady that's unable to get really warmed up and 380 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: get going. The defense has really come down to earth 381 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: um now and you know, to get run over the 382 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: way they did in this game, there's just nothing. What 383 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: do the Bucks do well right now? You have to 384 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: look at only one side of the ball, and they're 385 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: not doing things well on that side of the ball today. 386 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: You're right, Uh, they they're pretty good past defense, But 387 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: you're right they were. They were the defining trade of 388 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: Todd Bowls defense throughout the years is a great rush defense, 389 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: and they've collapsed in on themselves and then you start 390 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: to question, well, who are we really because if they 391 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: if the Bucks, who have had some of the best 392 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: run defenses in NFL history, and so so did the 393 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: Jets back in the day. By the way, when they 394 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: add Todd, Uh, if they can't do that, then it 395 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: it does sort of poco hole and like who are we? 396 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: And Chris Godwin? I think this has been a little underrag. 397 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you come off with torn a c 398 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: l and people are like, oh, great, we have him back. 399 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: He has not been Chris Godwin. Uh, they know. And 400 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: I would say one thing you mentioned Devin White Um 401 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: is possibly who they were calling out as a as 402 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: Todd Bowls, as a player that was still sort of 403 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: living in the Super Bowl glory. There was a huge 404 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: run in this game where Devin White just look completely 405 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: out of position, and it seems to be happening week 406 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: to week that there's something going on with with him 407 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: or someone else in the defense. So I don't think 408 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: you can even say that the defense is a real 409 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: strength right now. They were out muscled today in every 410 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: possible way. This is it's wild they are injured though. Uh. 411 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers, by the way, um won this game 412 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: again thirteen and a half point underdogs, starting a third 413 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: string quarterback after trading their franchise star Christian McCaffrey, and 414 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: our report surface that they had turned down two first 415 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: round picks for Brian Burns, which I'm not buying. That 416 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: outrageous that reporting. Um Tom Brady hasn't had a losing 417 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: record this far into a season since two thousand two. 418 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: Let's listen to Todd Bowls and see where he stands 419 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: on the Bucks. We have to wear this on. Honestly, 420 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: they gotta be grown men. We're gonna see what we're 421 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: made of. How many people can handle at versity. And 422 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: it's about the dark as it's gonna be right now, you, 423 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: I hope. So Todd, before we take a break, are 424 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: the Bucks good? Mark? You said? No, No, they are. 425 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: They were the biggest faith. They were the the people 426 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: who have created the two biggest upsets in the NFL 427 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: all season in back to back weeks PG Walker three 428 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: and one. By the way, as starting quarterback Carolina, well 429 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: today he looks like you're in that win. Not good. 430 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this, all right, welcome back. 431 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: So the Bucks aren't good, But how about the defending 432 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: a FC champions. Let's check in Cincinnati. Now Burrow throws 433 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: towards the left side, back shoulder throw, Chase cut through 434 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: the field and up chases. I'm successful. Up forty one 435 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: yard touchdown. The Bengals four t d in four first 436 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: half drives my goodness. The Cincinnati Bengals are rolling. Joe 437 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: Burrow passed threety five yards in the first half and 438 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: the Bengals rolled over the Falcons thirty five seventeen. Could 439 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: have been worse. They took their foot off the accelerator late. 440 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: Burrow finished with four one yards and four total touchdowns. 441 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: We now welcome in the pipe, Nick shook our a 442 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: f C North Consigliari pipe. I watched this game as well, 443 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: and uh, it's just a lot of fun to see 444 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: and a season overall where sometimes the fun quotition is 445 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: lacking at the quarterback position, especially and we even saw 446 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: it with Burrow when he had that meltdown in week one. 447 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: To see him clicking again and to see Jamaar Chase 448 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: get figured out and Tea Higgins healthy, Entitler Boyd showing 449 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: he's one of the more underrated guys. This offense is 450 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: scary good when it's turned on. It's almost as if 451 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor through caution to the win and said, you 452 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: know what, Look, we have all these weapons on offense. 453 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: Let's stop trying to be somebody where not. Let's play 454 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: the almost the entire game from the shotgun. Let's spread 455 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: it around the yard. Six weeks to do that. Oh sorry, 456 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: what did he have on today? Which polo did? He 457 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: saying like, oh wow, he thought to be aggressive with 458 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: his amazing quarterback and spread it out. I think here's 459 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 1: the thing. Well, here's the thing, boys, Actually, let's see here. 460 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: First from Zach Taylor, who might be answering to some 461 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: of the snark. I hope you all listen to me 462 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: as I got up here at oh and two and 463 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: just said, just be patient. This season is very young. 464 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: We know what type of team we have. I know 465 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: the faith that I have in these players and coaches. 466 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: And that's what they've done. That's actually like a V 467 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: neck T shirt he's wearing, Greggy. I wonder, and it's 468 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: fair to wonder. And I bet if you had a 469 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: conversation with you might even say this, this type of 470 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: offense that he's running now, he probably didn't feel countorable 471 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,479 Speaker 1: running it when they couldn't protect Joe Burrow and he's 472 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: getting his butt kicked week after week to start the season. 473 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: And now the offensive line has gotten better that perhaps 474 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: they're able to run the offense that they want to 475 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: and we're seeing the results. That's just a counter point. Yeah, 476 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: you know it, Shookie. You tell me how the line 477 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: look today. Now, now this is the perfect match up 478 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: for it against the Falcons. Team was not a great 479 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: pass rushing team. They lost a J. Torell, their best 480 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: players and a lot of guys in the same early 481 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: But like even a week ago, and I am taking 482 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: the l here the rainmaker brought out the sunshine in Cincinnati. 483 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: I could not have been more wrong in this game, 484 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: by the way. Yes, and uh, you know I might 485 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: have a good one later coming up at least to 486 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: even it out. But U like, this is a game 487 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: where I was so wrong? Was it a game you 488 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: thought shook that they did protect well? The point I 489 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: was trying to get to is I didn't think they've 490 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: protected much better the last couple of weeks. I just 491 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: think they've kind of adjusted and gotten rid of the ball. 492 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: Like the Saints game, they didn't protect well at all. Yeah, 493 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: there were many times I think where Joe Burrow had 494 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: to escape the pocket and kind of extend to play. 495 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: But the difference you already mentioned they lost a j 496 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: Torell early and they didn't have Casey Hayward already. They 497 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: were playing with a skeleton crew in their secondary and 498 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: the Bengals feasted on that. And again they just kind 499 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: of threw cross to the winds. So let's throw the 500 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: ball around and and you know what, Joe's gonna have 501 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: to get out of pocket extent in places sometimes and 502 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: he might take a few hits, but we have so 503 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: many weapons it's worth the risk. We might as well 504 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: go with it. And it produced a ton of points 505 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: for them. And for a second there, I don't know 506 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: if you guys are paying attention, but a lot of 507 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: people on Twitter where we were watching out to see 508 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: if Joe Burrow would flirt with a single game passing 509 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: yards record. He didn't get there because they kind of 510 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: slowed down the second half. But when the Falcons made 511 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: it interesting just before halftime, I was thinking, oh, they 512 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: gotta stay aggressive. He might have a shot to hit 513 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: that mark. He didn't, but it was still it was 514 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: It was the epitome of um scrappiness for the Falcons 515 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: because this game looked like a grizzly blowout early and 516 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: then the Falcons put together, Uh what are the seventeen 517 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: points in the last six minutes of the second quarter 518 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: to make it interesting. But that was it. They got 519 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: things straightened out. And you know, Mark, I think with 520 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: with Burrow, it's interesting. They have mixing and they have 521 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: the ability to have a balance offense. But in this game, 522 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: they're just passing the ball. Oh They're always passing the ball, 523 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: and they just don't want to give in and have 524 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: that balanced offense. But I guess maybe again, maybe you're 525 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: just playing your strengths and if Burrows feeling it on 526 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: a Sunday, you should be passing at the goal line 527 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: and everywhere else. He has a thirteen to one touchdown 528 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: to interception ratio since that opening week like situation with 529 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh where he threw the four picks. I mean, he 530 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: looks great. I don't know why you don't just keep 531 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: doing this. This is not that different than the magic 532 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: carpet ride we talked about that they went on last year. 533 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: He wasn't protected well during that situation. He was on 534 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: the run. He had to make plays, but the big 535 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: play offense to that was what was missing in the 536 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: early part of this season. It's back now. Jamar Chase 537 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: is back, and I think if you can unlock this 538 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: offense with Jamar Chase doing what he's doing, they can 539 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: compete with really anyone in the a f C. And 540 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: choke on the Falcon side of this, I just want 541 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: to throw this out. It's the Falcons trailed by ten 542 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: plus points for the final fifty minutes of this game. 543 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: They threw the ball thirteen times. This is them doing 544 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: what they want to do right. And it's like we 545 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: talked about San Francisco's in ability to play from behind. 546 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: Atlanta's game plan is so flawed if anything goes out 547 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: of whack, and this game was the perfect judgment of that. Yeah. 548 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: I watched them every week and I think, you know, 549 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: this team, they show flashes of figuring it out, of 550 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: getting it, finding something that works. They just can't ever 551 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: sometimes it's a half. It's usually the second half where 552 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: they going to the half time to make adjustments and 553 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: and there's suddenly a different football team. They haven't really 554 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: been able to put together four quality quarters of football 555 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: in one game to go win these games remarkably. They 556 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: entered today at three and three somehow, But yeah, you're right, hut, 557 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: and twenty four passing yards from Marcus Mariotta came on 558 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: one throw on a touchdown pass the Demir Bird, which 559 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: is his first reception of the season. So it's like 560 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: catching lightning at a bottle with them, except the storms 561 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: are few and far between, so you're kind of just 562 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: stuck with what's for making. I got on love Arthur Smith. 563 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job, and you know 564 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: last year in this with the talent they have. But 565 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: if you look at their talent, the idea that Drake 566 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: London and Kyle Pitts have eighteen yards in this game, 567 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: there's some mismanagement going on there. I think to some 568 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: degree with eyes that could be making a much bigger 569 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: impact than often. It is not too early to panic 570 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: anyone that is a fantasy owner of either of those players. 571 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: Six targets for eighteen yards and they just this was 572 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: the perfect test. Unless he can't sleep at night, Arthur Smith, 573 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: and he's like, God, what was I thinking today? I 574 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: gotta start throwing the ball. But there could be some 575 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: trust issues there's there as well, Speaking of trust issues. 576 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: Nick shook the Browns. The Browns man, they gotta be 577 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: hard for you to trust this season. Let's check in 578 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: their game in Baltimore. Sixty yard field goal fry for 579 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: rookie Ky York to tie the game, Snap it down, 580 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: kicking block it has blocked, the ball will fall off 581 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: at ten and it will be down there two minutes 582 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: flocked up play in Baltimore that has kept all alive 583 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: and kept the Ravens at the front. Wow, well, I 584 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: guess there was over two minutes left, so j Jerry 585 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: Sandusky didn't even hit us with a haze in the 586 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: barn w B A L. Yes, the Ravens managed to 587 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: have void another fourth quarter collapse. Um helped in large 588 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: part to some huge penalties hit Uh. With the Browns 589 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: committed and ain um. Baltimore had a big rushing day 590 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards on the ground, and they are 591 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: in a tie atop the a f C North through 592 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: seven weeks. Shookie Uh tell us about this game because 593 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: this seemed like another one where Baltimore had it in 594 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: hand and then things got Harry Lamar Jackson completed nine 595 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: passes today and tells you everything you need to know. 596 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: About their offense, and yet they were able to pull 597 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: out a victory because of the way their defense played, 598 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: because of the way the Browns shot themselves in the 599 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: foot repeatedly with decisions and with questionable penalties, which I 600 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: think Browns fans have a case uh to complain about 601 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: some of the penalties in that last drive, But it 602 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: was about more than that. Baltimore. You know, they get 603 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: a strip sack of of Jacoby Brissette, they turned that 604 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: into a touchdown. They didn't move the ball all that 605 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: well offensively except for that last drive. Or they're draining clock, 606 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: pounding on the ground, looking like the Ravens of twenty again, 607 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: a team that we haven't seen really do that authority 608 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: that much this season. That's where they shifted to and 609 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: that was without J. K. Dobbins. But really, I hate 610 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: to say this, this is probably a game they maybe 611 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: should have lost. And the reason I say that is 612 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: because that fumble with a little bit over three minutes 613 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: left was the worst time possible, except for the fact 614 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: that they were deep in Brown's territory. Most of their 615 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: offenses are probably gonna go down there and make you pay. 616 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: But the Brown's offense, because they cannot put points on 617 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: the board when they need to quickly at the end 618 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: of games. They continue to struggle. And on the Brown 619 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: side of things, man I said last week that Kevin 620 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: Stefanski had his worst performance as a coach. This was 621 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: not much better. He made some bad decisions. Third and two, 622 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: you got three, you know, two and a half minutes left. 623 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: Whatever it is. You got the NFL's leading rusher in 624 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: your backfield and you take a shot to Amari Cooper 625 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: an offensive fast interference. It pushes you out of field 626 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: goal rate. You explain the whole thing like which is 627 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: that for a second there, and this is why it's 628 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: got to be tough to be a Browns fan. This year, 629 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: uh and every year. I guess he looked like they 630 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: took the lead. You know, it was a dime. Jacobe 631 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: percent was playing fantastic on that drive. He made a 632 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: number of really good plays and it looked like a 633 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown and then you see the flag and 634 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: it was a good call. Cooper pushed off, so it 635 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,479 Speaker 1: wasn't like they got robbed. But man, you're right, then 636 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: they get the penalty before the field goal. They always 637 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: just find a way. There's no consistency in how they 638 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: blow these games. But they blow them, but they you know, 639 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: here's so chump finished with sixteen Carrie shook you like, 640 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: that's how you close a game out. He's Mariano Rivera. 641 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: Why isn't he closing out these games? And this goes 642 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: back to what I said about Kevin Stefanski. He just 643 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: doesn't make the right decisions in these situations. Last week, 644 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: it was really ugly. Early in the third quarter against 645 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots. He calls a bunch of pass plays, they 646 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: go three and out, whatever. He does it again, this 647 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: time three straight passes. The third one is the strip 648 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: sack that sets up the touchdown to give the Ravens 649 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: a ten point lead. But then he adjusted quicker than usual. 650 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: He went back to the run and it paid off. 651 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: They kick a field goal, they go down, score touchdown later, 652 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: they're suddenly within three points again. And then in that 653 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: situation third and two, I can't, for the life of 654 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: me understand why you don't treat that it's two downs 655 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: to get two yards. You have time, you're outside, they 656 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: want your pocket. I don't like this point in taking 657 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: that shot there. I don't like this roster and I 658 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: think that there's a lot of mismanagement that went on 659 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: in the off season. Number one, let's talk about the 660 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,239 Speaker 1: defensive line where it's like you're getting run on. If 661 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: it's not that weak, then there was a situation was 662 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: a play today and this is a Lamar Jackson thing 663 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: to some degree, but it's a Brown's thing too today 664 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: where Lamar dropped back to pass and I think it 665 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: was like he had about twenty six seconds with no 666 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: one in his face, and then he took off to 667 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: run and converted. And it's just like, alright, cool. But 668 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: the problem is Cleveland does not have complimentary players on defense, 669 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: and the players they have seem confused and out of 670 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: date in this thing, like the Joe Woods defensive scheme 671 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: gives them no chance. They didn't give up a billion 672 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: points today, but it's just there's zero trust watching the 673 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: Browns that they're gonna find a way to close these games. 674 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: There isn't a team in the league that's blown situational 675 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: football on the fourth quarter like this, And I have 676 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: to say that Kevin Stefanski is probably on the hot seat. 677 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how you necessarily make a 678 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: big argument too well, is that so crazy? Staley's the 679 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: hot seats. When the quarterback shows up Watson, how the 680 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: season ends, I think we'll have a huge impact on 681 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: whether or not it doesn't have that. David the Joku 682 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: left the game on he was seeing crutches in in 683 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: the in the locker room matter. He's been having a 684 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: great season of the year two years ago, and I 685 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: think offensively had you know, we were talking about what 686 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: a great job he's done creating offense, you know, his 687 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,919 Speaker 1: hiring and defensively, uh, they're they're absolutely a mess. But 688 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 1: you know, you you mentioned the Shawn Watson. You gotta 689 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: look at the Browns. You know, to me, they're not 690 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: like a two and five team, but they are two 691 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: and five ultimately. And then you look at their next 692 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: four weeks before watson suspension ends Bengals, Dolphins, Bills, Bucks Is, 693 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: So you know you're hoping. I look at that group 694 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: and I look, I say, you're hoping to go too 695 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: and two there and you be four and seven when 696 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: Watson returns, which you know probably isn't good enough. They 697 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: blew too many games in they had a chance, they 698 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: had a chance to set the table and they're they're 699 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: unable to do it. Because this Cleveland Browns team is 700 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: simply an incomplete operation. Quickly on Lamar though I know, 701 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: like we've talked about his negatives here and this feels 702 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: like they got a little lucky either. Two fifty net 703 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: yards not a good offensive performance. But his running this 704 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: year is next level. Like it's been a little under 705 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: the radar that he's leading the league in yards per carry. 706 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: He is top four or five in the league in 707 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 1: rushing yards and in key spots. In this game, fourth 708 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: and one at the fifty, if they didn't pick that up, 709 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna kill Harpop. But if it's Lamar, he picks 710 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: it up. Later in that drive they ended up fumbling. 711 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: It's like third and two, Lamar goes for eleven, he 712 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: goes for ten for fifty nine. That has been the 713 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,280 Speaker 1: equalizer for them. And he's having a next level rushing 714 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: season and he might break his own record in terms 715 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: of the most rushing year. But if you go to 716 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: that back to that Bengals game two weeks ago, I mean, 717 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: he put the game on his back at the end 718 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 1: with his running ability and completely that that was a 719 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: Lamar jack, but he's also kept them a flow. I 720 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: was gonna say I was gonna say. It should also 721 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: be stated that he has not thrown more than a 722 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: touchdown in a game and over a month now, and 723 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: he has come down after a blazing hot star the 724 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: first three weeks. But the running game is a big 725 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 1: part of what he does. Help us out who locked it? 726 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,760 Speaker 1: Who locked it? Hey, Greggy was going to get your Ravens. Yeah, 727 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: so you have to sweat it out. That's almost worse 728 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: than the loss when you have to really deal with 729 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: that heat at the end of the worst than a loss, 730 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: I can almost. Uh, we'll get to your lock in 731 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: a little bit. Mark, help us out shook before we 732 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: say goodbye. We're trying to figure out who's good. We're 733 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: holding vote, we're holding votes. Uh, let's go over the 734 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: four teams we just discussed with you. Bengals good, right, good? Yeah, well, 735 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: let me hear. Let me hear all four, let me 736 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: hear all four. We'll go one of the time that 737 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: carries the vote. Okay, Bengals Falcons not good? Okay, The 738 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: Ravens good, Okay, not good. I don't know, are you 739 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: the same way we're seeing good? Because very uneven everything 740 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: that they're all relative song strengths weak weaknesses. I'm going 741 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: they're good. I'm going Ravens are good. Mark. If I 742 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: can take the middle between those, I would because I 743 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: don't see good as like special on any level. Good. Yes, 744 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,240 Speaker 1: there are good. We're not looking for special right now, NFL, 745 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: We're just looking for good. Give us something finally, the Brownies, Oh, 746 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: give me a break. Yeah, not good, not good? All right, Jockie, 747 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: thank you buddy. As always, you are a hero. We'll 748 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: be right back after this break. Welcome back. It is 749 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: on in Northern Jersey. LARTs and a shotgun after the 750 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: set again takes the snap about to throw stuffs fires 751 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: it to the end of siance standing up. He's not 752 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: in the Santo Holy and the pot is over. Bo 753 00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: bopa w a n the desert down at the swamps 754 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: of Jersey. Everybody keeps down the jimon. But in this NFL, 755 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: a team that knows how to win at the end 756 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: of the game, in these sloppy affairs, I'll take your places. 757 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: That'll take you all the way to six and one. 758 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,800 Speaker 1: After safety Julian Love and fellow safety Xavier McKinney stopped 759 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk at the one yard line, no time left. 760 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: That preserved the win over the Jags in duval Mark. 761 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: This is the best start for the Zuma and since 762 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: two thousand eight, they do it every week. This way, 763 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about this worst six and 764 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: one team ever business there. They are well coached. We've 765 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: talked about that on Thursday. They're powerful. They overpowered the Jaguars. 766 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 1: I mean it was concerning early on because right tackle 767 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,280 Speaker 1: rookie right tackle Evan Neil lost, left guard Ben Brederson lost. 768 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: You've lost your line right there. And what did they 769 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: do by games that wandered away from the stadium injured, 770 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:11,240 Speaker 1: lost to injury, I don't know, like a spinal tap situation. Sandwiches, 771 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: thank you. I think you probably knew where I was 772 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: going with that. But that's fine. Its clarity. I didn't 773 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: see this game yet. I'll be watching Tom. I think 774 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: you'll enjoy it, and I'll tell you why. It's my 775 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: kind of football because and down down the stretch. I mean, 776 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: this is like a forty nine minute game pass if there. 777 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: It was a look Greg and I both Greg and 778 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: I were both locked and very long. This went on forever. 779 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: But I mean, sa kwear just this looked like so 780 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: many other Giants games where they found a way just 781 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: to close it out at the end and you had 782 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: to one yard rosher se Kwon Barkley fantastic today a 783 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: hundred and ten yards. Daniel Jones like number one. I 784 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna think about Daniel Jones the 785 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: end of the season. He's it is, it's tough, it's incomplete. 786 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: It depends what your other options are, where they are 787 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: on the draft and all that business. But I see 788 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: him being so much more well coached than he's been 789 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: in the past, and they really I think Brian Dables 790 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,760 Speaker 1: find a way to unlock him on the ground consistently 791 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: a hundred and seven yards to day at nine point 792 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,439 Speaker 1: seven yards per carry. Every time you look up, he's 793 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: moving the chains. Uh. There were some like very design 794 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: runs for him that he was really successful that they 795 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: made a couple of money throws and this Jaguars defense 796 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: is good against the run, but they just wore them down. 797 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 1: They wore them down, and so the flip flop there 798 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: was Ken Trevor Lawrence in the end make that game 799 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: winning throw. And we've seen this sort of over and 800 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: over where he's been putting these situations where it's the 801 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,719 Speaker 1: last second tossing post completions. He almost said he played 802 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: one of his better games early on today and Doug Peterson, 803 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: I give Doug Peterson credit. I mean, he was really 804 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 1: aggressive with this offense early. Um. The Giants went down 805 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: for an opening touchdown. The Jaguars tried to set the 806 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 1: tone by going down, scoring themselves and dolling up like 807 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: Brian Dayball did in Week one against the Titans, a 808 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: two point conversion which they converted. So they hung around, 809 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: but the Giants were just a little too physically powerfulness, 810 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 1: I would imagine though. Doug is also rather piste off 811 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: Angelo after you have a and over and you when 812 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: you're going in for a score the way the game 813 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: ends to be that close. But that's again that is 814 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: a lot of that goes back to the Giants. There 815 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: the first team in NFL history to start six and one, 816 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: are better and have each of its first seven games 817 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 1: decided by one possession. They have six wins by combined 818 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: twenty seven points. They probably don't have one on the 819 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: decided on the last play of the game, and the 820 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 1: you mentioned Barkley. Um, I was watching their their final 821 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: touchdown drive the Giants, I believe was their final touchdown drive, 822 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: and Barkley makes a jump cut near about the or 823 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: thirty yard line and then makes two guys miss and 824 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: then just darts down the field and it's like, there 825 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: is no difference between that dude and the sensation fresh 826 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: out of Penn State. I think he's better. You have well, okay, 827 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: so maybe he's a smarter player, that electric playmaker that 828 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 1: let's face it, everyone kind of for the most part 829 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: thought that guy was gone by the end of the season. 830 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: So I think that I think he's a slam dunk 831 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: choice for Comeback Player of the Year at this point, 832 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: uh and one of the better comeback stories in a 833 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 1: long time. Absolutely. I just want to mention two quick 834 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: things that this has been obviously a league trend, but 835 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: there was a roughing the passer call on Dexter Lawrence 836 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: that helped set up a Jaguars touchdown. So if Doug 837 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: Peterson's upset about some things, he can't be upset about 838 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: what happened here, but Brian Dable should be. I mean, 839 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence essentially kind of tugged Trevor Lawrence around by 840 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: the jersey and it was called roughing the pastor. It 841 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: was egregious. Um. Secondly, Travis et N had a he 842 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: had a rough catch and fumble that helped essentially set 843 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 1: up a giant score here. But Travis E. T N 844 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: week after week to me looks like one of the 845 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,720 Speaker 1: better running backs in the league. He is a fascinating watch. 846 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: And they've got something. There's no doubt about it. Their 847 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: running game has been awesome. Their team has totally changed. 848 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, that didn't he fumble on the one after? Like, yes, 849 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: it was a killer turnover. It was a killer turnover. 850 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: Their their team has totally changed throughout the course of 851 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: the season. Now they've got a really strong running game. 852 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: They have no outside receivers, Like everyone is just an 853 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: inside slot guy and you saw that on the last 854 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: drive and they got close, but they can't go outside. 855 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: They don't have a guy who can win outside. Kirk 856 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 1: is not that guy. Uh. But their defense, like we 857 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: started the year trying to talk up like this defense 858 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: could be special and they just you know, gave up 859 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: how many yards in place to Matt Ryan last week 860 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: and then they get totally steamrolled here at the end 861 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: and give up four d yards. That's the best you 862 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 1: know day the Giants, so their defense and special it's 863 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,279 Speaker 1: just like a defense, and this is the one of 864 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: those games. Though there's not much separating these two teams. 865 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: You gotta admit, like, but one's two and five and 866 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 1: one six and one. That's the football God. It's a 867 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: little bit of luck and a lot of bit of 868 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: a lot of verve, and there's there's a lot to 869 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,879 Speaker 1: it that goes into how the Desert sets these things. 870 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: But that's always so stunned by the spread of this game, 871 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,760 Speaker 1: the Giants not getting the respect from the Desert because 872 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 1: this is happening every week, and I think it's sustainable. 873 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 1: I think they'll continue to win games like this. Well, 874 00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,280 Speaker 1: it's the numbers. It's that. At first, for a second 875 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,399 Speaker 1: I thought you were you know, who's really saying they're 876 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: the worst six and one team ever? And then I 877 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, we can. People were saying that 878 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: about the five and one Giant. So actually, I think 879 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: football outsiders did ran the numbers and just they're not 880 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 1: putting any opinion into it. But in terms of their 881 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: d v o A and the numbers of how good 882 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: the offensive they were the worst like five and one 883 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: team ever. That's what they did they were eight teams 884 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: coming into this week like dv o A just as 885 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 1: much as the next guy, potentially, But I don't care 886 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: what they it's and I we lean on that stuff 887 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 1: all the time. But this is something a little bit 888 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: different about this football thing. They played the Seahawks next week. 889 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,720 Speaker 1: That's a spicy But you would like crumple it up first, 890 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 1: or what would you do? Shred it? I don't know. 891 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 1: I actually have a theory of what I would do, 892 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: but I don't think we should talk about it on 893 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 1: these airways. But spreadsheets, Yeah, like how to administer it. 894 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: Let's check in. Let's see if we had another New 895 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: York sweet tall sweep to the left, pull with blockers 896 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 1: and fun as a priest to the left. He's gone 897 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: ten five touchdown Breese Hall house call, the Jets take 898 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 1: the lead, m crushing lee. That is the final touchdown 899 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: of the year for Breeze Hall, who a little later 900 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: in the first half against the Broncos got hit on 901 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: the knee suffered an injury that Robert Sala believes is 902 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 1: very serious and most likely season ending a c L tear. 903 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: Crushing news for the Jets, Uh and their young offense 904 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: filled with playmakers, but the Jets persevere sixteen nine over 905 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: the Broncos, UH, leaning on their defense to carry the 906 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: day on a day that not just Breeze Hall, but 907 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,280 Speaker 1: Corey Davis, one of their top wide receivers, and Elijah 908 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: Vera Tucker, their star offensive lineman, all exited for the 909 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,800 Speaker 1: game in the first half. They get by on a 910 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 1: day that Brussell Wilson is out with that hamstring issue. 911 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: That it was just weird because we talked on the 912 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: Thursday show that he looked like he might play and 913 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: he was saying he had mane blood and all this stuff, 914 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: and then all of a Suddy struggled and limped through 915 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: a late week practice and was inactive. So that that 916 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,439 Speaker 1: led to Brett Rippon, who you know, he's Brett Rippon, 917 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 1: and uh, the Jets really gave them the opportunity to 918 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: the Denver to get a much needed home win here 919 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 1: committing a ton of penalties and being a little sloppy 920 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: early on. Once Hall exited, Zack Wilson was not able 921 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: to uh get much out of the offense. And that's 922 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: a very real there's some real concerns around the Jets 923 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: offensively now that hauls out, but at the end of 924 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: the day, the Jets are five and two now and 925 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: they're four and oh away from the meadowlands. And this 926 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,680 Speaker 1: was another game where it was the defense point to 927 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner who broke up the fourth down pass uh 928 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,799 Speaker 1: to clinch the game. That show like they can win 929 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: these games, just like the Giants in a very unsettled, 930 00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: muddled landscape, they can find a way, and they have 931 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: more often than not lately. I have a couple of concerns. 932 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, like without Briest Hall, what they were, 933 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: because I mean no offense with him, was someone that 934 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,799 Speaker 1: I thought could shield the attack from Zach Wilson's up 935 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 1: and down nature largely down. I watching this not as 936 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 1: closely as you, Dan, but I don't see it with 937 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson right now. And that's the record aside. I 938 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,839 Speaker 1: think that's your concern going forward if the running game 939 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: is not going to be what it was. Yeah, and 940 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 1: I'll say this, Michael Carter is very good. He's going 941 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 1: to kind of step into a much bigger role for 942 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: the Jets. Maybe they trade for someone, you know, Melvin 943 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 1: Gordon's on the out, trade for Christian McCaffrey and Denver. 944 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: It's two coaching steps into each other. That doesn't make 945 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: any sense. Okay, I'm just saying it's an option. It's 946 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 1: something you could explore at the top the offer that 947 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 1: they don't phone. I don't think san Facco is looking 948 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 1: to flip Christian McCaffrey like a house. I don't know 949 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 1: how this works, but anyway, yes, I think the Jets 950 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: are in a lot of trouble now if Wilson continues 951 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 1: to struggle. Now, I got to give Denver credit on 952 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Once again, Greg week 953 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 1: after week, and this has made it even more frustrating 954 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 1: for fans of this team and the a f C West, 955 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,440 Speaker 1: where no one's running away with the division. Um they 956 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: are putting forth an effort that's keeping their team in games. 957 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 1: And they did it again. They had Wilson and a 958 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 1: blender in this game, and they just don't get enough 959 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 1: on offense. They get hardly anything at all. Right, they 960 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: outgained the Jets. They only gave up two hundred and 961 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 1: sixty yards ten first downs to the Jets, but that 962 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,439 Speaker 1: Hall play and Michael Carter had a thirty seven yard play. 963 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: Like the Jets haven't moved the ball at all with 964 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. But they have had these explosive players that 965 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: have been enough they're gonna have to be a defensive team. 966 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: It's just frustrating. I think if you're a Jets fan 967 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,840 Speaker 1: because you did see offensive pass production with Joe Flacco. 968 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you want to go back to Joe Flacco, 969 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: but you did see Garrett Wilson, you know, ball out 970 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: and Corey Davis. They said it's gonna be a it's 971 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 1: a PCL injury. They don't think it's gonna be anything major. 972 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 1: That still might be a weaker or two, but he 973 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: will be back. But you do want to be able 974 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 1: to use these offensive skill position players. And yeah, now 975 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 1: it's not kind of just be briest Hawk coming up 976 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:02,840 Speaker 1: with place, but they have such a good depth like 977 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 1: Carter is a great example of that. He is. But 978 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: and you guys know, I was very down before we 979 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 1: started the show because and a little concerned about you, 980 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: to be honest, but not now you're you have you 981 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 1: know what did it? It's podcasting with us. I mean 982 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: it's just like this is a brotherhood. We were here 983 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: where we feel comfortable. I think so. I think that's 984 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: what it is. Um, you think this it's been a 985 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 1: it's been a long time since the Jets had like 986 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 1: a a young running back that hit the ground and 987 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: looked like a potential star. And it's just it's so 988 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: painful and so predictable. But he breaks that long touchdown 989 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: run and I had to Twitter feeling good about myself 990 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: and my team. Uh, and right Reesel is a star. 991 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: And not fifteen minutes later he gets his knee blown. 992 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 1: He gets caught up in some traffic and you hear 993 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 1: a scream and I'm like, they cut away from the 994 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 1: play and I'm like, I don't think he got up, 995 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: and sure enough it was a serious knee injury. So 996 00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: they have to find a way. And ultimately here's a thing, 997 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 1: even with Breese Hall done for the year, and we 998 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: hope it's not one of those like we talked about 999 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: Chris Godwin situations or Michael Gallup where the guy has 1000 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: the A C L and he comes back and he's 1001 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 1: still not the guy. Sometimes you guys has the has 1002 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 1: the A C L and he's fine the next year. 1003 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,400 Speaker 1: So you hope that's how it what it is for 1004 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 1: Breese Hall. Um. Uh, they have pieces and depth to 1005 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: still be proficient on offense. But if Zach Wilson is 1006 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 1: going to be the guy has been the last two weeks, um, 1007 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna be what haunts them this year and what's 1008 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 1: gonna doom them to mediocrity. So with that said, the 1009 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:35,760 Speaker 1: Giants good obviously depends except for football outsiders, but definitely 1010 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: I don't want Giants Twitter to come after are you 1011 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,919 Speaker 1: gonna got six? Greg? Here, I'm just I'm just saying 1012 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 1: you have to think about it at least whether they're 1013 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 1: gonna be good moving forward, but they they've earn good. 1014 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of good teams now. This bronchos saying 1015 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 1: everyone crazy? Do you hear attempt to tune out some 1016 00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: of what Greg says and that was the case of 1017 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,399 Speaker 1: a minute ago. I don't know what he was Greg. Yeah, 1018 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:07,800 Speaker 1: just they're good right now? Okay, It just we're looking 1019 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 1: for fun in this regular season and then also, but 1020 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,359 Speaker 1: he's got to get over if you're able to come 1021 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 1: do the show. Basically, what he's got to deal with 1022 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 1: super Bowls from a long time ago. Good as a 1023 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: low bar, that's fair. This Broncos team is like um 1024 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: book notes on c SPAN, like it's about that vibrant 1025 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: to watch and they're annoying me. And I did ask 1026 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: you the question, Dan. At some point, doesn't Nathaniel Hackett 1027 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,800 Speaker 1: maybe just like you know, he goes into his office 1028 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 1: and Denver just leaves his wallet, his cell phone, you know, 1029 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 1: maybe takes out eleven grand and cash and just hard 1030 00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 1: vanishes on the rental. In the seventies, when he was 1031 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 1: a writer on SNL, he was there and nobody liked him, 1032 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,279 Speaker 1: and he wasn't getting any of his sketches on the air. Uh, 1033 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,799 Speaker 1: And one day he just didn't go to work. And 1034 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 1: then he changed his mind a couple of days later 1035 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 1: and went into work and they were like, no, like, 1036 00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? You don't belong here anymore. Um, 1037 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: he could try that, he could do a soft quit. Oh, 1038 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 1: look look at that lock. Oh I locked up, something 1039 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: came out of it, came out of it. And I 1040 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 1: also I forgot to play this during the last recap. 1041 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 1: Why what happened? West Bros? Locked the Jaguar? You know what, Nick, 1042 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 1: It's not about the record. It's about the NFL network 1043 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 1: airtime and what you're doing with it. And you're running 1044 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 1: into the end zone every week with that airtime keep 1045 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: postel you you also and then you know, and by 1046 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,200 Speaker 1: the way, it's getting late early for the Broncos. They're 1047 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,840 Speaker 1: two games back at the playoffs right now. I know 1048 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 1: you know the Chiefs are. I'm just saying, you're saying like, 1049 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,719 Speaker 1: no one's running away with it. I I We've seen 1050 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 1: enough of these teams come back after especially a team 1051 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: with literally the number one defense in the league. Right now, 1052 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,600 Speaker 1: it's hard to just totally cancel them out. But it's 1053 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 1: getting pretty close here. Two games back. Is it's it's 1054 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 1: the offense that stinks and the plan of the offense 1055 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 1: that I think that stinks, and maybe Russell Wilson that stinks. Uh. 1056 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 1: And that was the first time I locked the Jets 1057 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,600 Speaker 1: in sixty eight weeks according to previously read four out 1058 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: locking the Jets. So this is a new new territory team. 1059 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 1: I want to say, yes, but I'm very good. We're good, 1060 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: maybe troubled. Now are the Jets? This exercise as good 1061 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 1: as a low enough bar that, yeah, their defenses face 1062 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: maybe we have We'll have to go through this at 1063 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 1: the end of the show. All right, let's head across 1064 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 1: the sidewalk to Sofi stadium, where there was a foreign 1065 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,760 Speaker 1: team four and two team plan and uh a frisky 1066 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 1: team with a superstar quarterback named Gino. Surely there are 1067 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: good teams here. Let's check in. First inten toss. The 1068 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,279 Speaker 1: Walker goes right side and has a little running room. 1069 00:53:52,280 --> 00:54:04,279 Speaker 1: Parkinson outron gotta catch a bottles down Cityhawks seventy four yards. 1070 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:10,279 Speaker 1: He can hawker the third he gets fired out of 1071 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: the gatling gunn and he is gone. How the right 1072 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 1: Simons seventy four and nobody got a whiff? I love it, 1073 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: stay Steve Rabel. Oh the boos are out, k I 1074 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 1: r oh. I like that shout out of a gatling 1075 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 1: usually shot out of a cannon. Enough with the cannons. 1076 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: It's two thousand twenty two. We got hypersonic missiles. Now 1077 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 1: we got lasers. People are getting excited. That's the fastest 1078 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 1: up by a ball carrier that he broke twenty two. Well, 1079 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,839 Speaker 1: look at that. We're never gonna make miles per hour thing. 1080 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:56,240 Speaker 1: But behind Ken Walker, the third and two touchdown passes 1081 00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:01,920 Speaker 1: from Geno Smith Rumble passed the Chargers football's worst four 1082 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: and three team thirty seven to three. Yes at so 1083 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 1: FI Stadium. Greggy obviously the Jets are dealing in with 1084 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 1: it now with Breece Hall or Shot Penny goes out 1085 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,880 Speaker 1: of the lineup with a season ending injury, and you 1086 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 1: have Ken Walker, who is a big time player. It 1087 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 1: looks like he is incredible. He's not what his draft 1088 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,439 Speaker 1: profile was, at least what I thought, which was more 1089 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 1: of a bruiser. This guy has juice, he has patience, 1090 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: he's got wiggle. Maybe he's too high profile to be 1091 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,319 Speaker 1: a guy, but I want him to be my guy 1092 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,359 Speaker 1: along with you know, Smith, just because he's so much. 1093 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:45,160 Speaker 1: I've taken Kenneth Walker. Kenneth He's he's such to be honest, 1094 00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 1: like it's it's a little bit um impossible to join 1095 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks hype train at this point with like could 1096 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: they are fun? I do remember like four games into 1097 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,480 Speaker 1: this season, I said, Gino is playing so well, And 1098 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,840 Speaker 1: he played well today, had a couple of bad throws 1099 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 1: at an interception, but played well. But I expect that 1100 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 1: each week. And we said back then they've got like 1101 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 1: the last rinked running game, the last rinked defense. If 1102 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 1: they just picked those up, this could be a frisky team. 1103 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: And suddenly you look and Kenneth Walker is running through 1104 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 1: secondaries and their defense in back to back weeks has 1105 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,160 Speaker 1: been solid to better. I know they gave up twenty 1106 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,439 Speaker 1: three points here, but there was uh they forced two 1107 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,879 Speaker 1: turnovers in the first quarter which really set the tone. 1108 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,280 Speaker 1: And there was a six drive stretch where the Chargers 1109 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: went five straight punts and then uh, a turnover on 1110 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 1: downs And that's all you need for this offense. It 1111 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but if you give this offense enough chance, 1112 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: it's clearly a top ten offense right now. Ekeler had 1113 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: a tacky late touchdown to make this thing look more competitive. 1114 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 1: Seattle badly outplayed, uh, the Chargers in their building in 1115 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,719 Speaker 1: this game, and uh, yeah, it's it's you know, on 1116 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,399 Speaker 1: the Charger side of things, it's it's a thing. It's 1117 00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:01,399 Speaker 1: a problem. Their offense is underachieving. I think everyone that 1118 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: bought in hard on the Chargers, and that includes this 1119 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 1: podcast ending into the season, brought into Justin Herbert as 1120 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,640 Speaker 1: an m VP candidate. None of this is looking so 1121 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:12,879 Speaker 1: hot right now because I feel like the last month 1122 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,880 Speaker 1: or so, and I know they were winning before, they 1123 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 1: were a three game winning streak going to but even 1124 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 1: the head coach said he doesn't feel like we're on 1125 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:21,360 Speaker 1: a winning streak. And then you saw them play like 1126 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 1: the coach fields the team is, which is very SUBI 1127 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 1: they'll never be in first place in this division again 1128 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 1: all season. It's over. I don't mean that they're over entirely, 1129 00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 1: but now I think they I think there are major 1130 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: problems here. And I mean, you know, Justin Herbert and 1131 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,960 Speaker 1: through an unusual interception for him today, UM, he was 1132 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 1: stripped to the ball back to back turnovers. I mean 1133 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 1: this has could have been picked off a couple more times. 1134 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:50,440 Speaker 1: This Charger's offense, to me, is just poorly organized, poorly coached. UM. 1135 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 1: Not fun to watch right now, which is like, if 1136 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 1: you're doing that with Justin Herbert, that's on you, because 1137 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 1: you've got you've got something special basketball. That's true. But 1138 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 1: more and more bad news with the Chargers. J C. Jackson, 1139 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 1: who's their big time, one of their big free agent 1140 00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 1: acquisitions or offseason acquisitions. UM suffers a bad leg injury. 1141 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 1: It's a dislocated kneecap. He gets carded off in an 1142 00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 1: air cast, and you know what that means almost always 1143 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 1: his season is over and it's been a disas Williams 1144 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: looked like he suffered a pretty bad ankle knee injury. 1145 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:23,439 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just starting to fall apart a little 1146 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 1: bit here. Yeah, I mean it is. He played a 1147 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,080 Speaker 1: little bit in the first half and then didn't come 1148 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,600 Speaker 1: back for the second. They have a bye week, No 1149 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 1: team is needed to buy more. But yeah, that Mike 1150 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 1: Williams played to me was so typical of this Charger season. 1151 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 1: It's a fourth in eleven in a pretty hopeless situation. 1152 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: Herbert gets out of quick pressure, makes an incredible throw 1153 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,240 Speaker 1: to Mike Williams. Everything that Mike Williams is so hard. 1154 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 1: Who makes an incredible catch, Yet it was short of 1155 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 1: the first down and his knee and ankle get bent 1156 00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,880 Speaker 1: backwards awkwardly. Game over. Then he's now going into the 1157 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 1: bye week with it what could be a significant injury 1158 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,800 Speaker 1: that he needs to recover from. Yeah, they lose Jackson. 1159 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 1: I mean they did lose their left tackle. Corey Lindsley 1160 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: has been banged up. Like the quality of the players 1161 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: that they've been losing is kind of outrageous. It's it's 1162 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: it's part of the equation. And just to sum up, 1163 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, questions about the leadership and the decision making 1164 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,760 Speaker 1: behind the scenes on that team. Keenan Allen has one 1165 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 1: more week away from the bye and a hamstring that 1166 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 1: he hurt in Week one. The fact that he played 1167 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 1: and then instantly hurt himself again not a great week. Look. 1168 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,919 Speaker 1: J C. Jackson came back early this season to play 1169 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,440 Speaker 1: that Thursday night game against the Chiefs when he wasn't 1170 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: right and he was never right, and then he his 1171 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 1: knee gets jacked up in this game. Justin Herbert, we 1172 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:42,760 Speaker 1: know the story of that Thursday night game with the 1173 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 1: rib and leaving him and even thought at the end 1174 00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 1: of this game I mentioned the the Fugaizy Austin Ekeler 1175 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 1: Herbert touchdown at the end of the end, what are 1176 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,840 Speaker 1: these guys even playing for? Like? Why why are they 1177 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 1: being so cavalier with these players, especially given their injury 1178 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,080 Speaker 1: issues this year? There's a pattern there. I agree with you. 1179 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 1: We shouldn't. We shouldn't overlook uh what the charge the 1180 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,240 Speaker 1: Seahawk defense did though they I really think they're building something. 1181 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,960 Speaker 1: They changed what they were doing. Darryl Taylor played well 1182 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 1: for a second straight week, made a big play like 1183 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 1: their defensive line should be good. Willan's making plays on 1184 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 1: the ball like the coverage was all over the Chargers 1185 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,600 Speaker 1: and the Seahawks are in first place, like they're a 1186 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: real story. To me, they're good. I think they're a 1187 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,840 Speaker 1: good team because they're a good offense. I feel like 1188 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 1: I know what I'm getting out of Gino every week. 1189 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:30,440 Speaker 1: He had some times they lost DK. That's just one 1190 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 1: that's okay, good I need to see. I mean, they 1191 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 1: lost DK Metcalf pretty early in this game, and that's 1192 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 1: like the moment you're like, oh, this offense is going 1193 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 1: to kind of fall apart. But they end up getting 1194 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:49,880 Speaker 1: Marquis Goodwin for two touchdowns and then Walker that is 1195 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 1: that does change they are? If that's long term? Uh, Chargers, 1196 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,160 Speaker 1: I do not think. I don't think they're good. I don't. 1197 01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to vote no on Chargers. They have a 1198 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,439 Speaker 1: good roster, They're not good football team right now, I'd 1199 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: say the same. All right, let's move on. That hurts 1200 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:10,320 Speaker 1: just right now. The Texas the light hand out to Jacobs, 1201 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,800 Speaker 1: talk the middle, tank cuts rights, tot five touch out, 1202 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 1: Tacobs tricking his fun rushing touchdown of his day. What 1203 01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 1: the hell is going on with Josh Jacobs? I mean 1204 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,360 Speaker 1: I'm not complaining, Well, what the hell is going on here. 1205 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, who you heard from before the season started 1206 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 1: as yet another quote unquote first round bust who's whose 1207 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,439 Speaker 1: contract is fifth year option, was not being picked up 1208 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 1: and the Raiders clearly under new leadership, seemed to be 1209 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 1: in the direction of moving on. He has gone absolutely 1210 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 1: off these last three weeks. Tree for three touchdowns in 1211 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,240 Speaker 1: this game, a very important game for the Raiders who 1212 01:01:54,280 --> 01:02:00,880 Speaker 1: win thirty eight over the Texans and Mark This is 1213 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 1: a game they absolutely had to have and to see 1214 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:08,160 Speaker 1: Jacobs now stacking these big time weeks, it does add 1215 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 1: an element to their offense that they kind of needed. Yeah, 1216 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 1: they've changed who they are on offense, and I really 1217 01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,440 Speaker 1: love what they've done. And I think Josh McDaniels, you know, 1218 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 1: patiently kind of wanted to see what he had and 1219 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 1: he found out that Josh Jacobs is about to have 1220 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 1: his career season. He's having it right now. They were 1221 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 1: down seen entering the fourth quarter in this and then 1222 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,880 Speaker 1: they've simply took over as lost a lot of a 1223 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,560 Speaker 1: ton of narrow games. I like that, Yeah, because they 1224 01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 1: saved their season. I mean, we'll see what's to come. 1225 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 1: But had they gone one in five with the loss 1226 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 1: to the Texans. Check you later, but four straight touchdown 1227 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,600 Speaker 1: marches of ten plays eighty two yards, ten place, seventy 1228 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 1: five yards, a seventy six yard touchdown drive, another seventies 1229 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,120 Speaker 1: six yarder, and Jacobs, to me is someone that had 1230 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 1: the ability to absolutely lift the offense and where down 1231 01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,720 Speaker 1: the Texans. It's like the Texans on the flip side 1232 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 1: played a good game. Davis Mills played the best game 1233 01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,560 Speaker 1: of his year. I mean, he They don't have a 1234 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 1: lot of parts, but Damian Pierce as a as a 1235 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 1: runner is very powerful as himself. He had ninety two 1236 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 1: yards and they have just enough through the air where 1237 01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 1: like I thought, Mills played some had some money throws 1238 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,080 Speaker 1: they where he stood in against the rush and delivered. 1239 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,080 Speaker 1: And you've been waiting for that game for him because 1240 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 1: I think last year you saw a little sparks. Today 1241 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 1: I saw it again. Um, this offense does not need 1242 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: to revolve around Derek Carr, which I like, You're getting 1243 01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 1: just enough of a Davante Adams uncertain drives, but there 1244 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 1: without Waller at the moment, and Jacobs makes up for 1245 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,520 Speaker 1: it and they can win games this way. I like, 1246 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,400 Speaker 1: I kind of like, who could they can be from 1247 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,959 Speaker 1: here on out because their physical team. I mean, their 1248 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,480 Speaker 1: offense is good. They've scored thirty three points a game 1249 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,440 Speaker 1: the last three weeks, really beat the Chiefs, including against 1250 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,120 Speaker 1: the Broncos defense. They're the only team that's hurt the 1251 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,720 Speaker 1: Broncos defense this year. I watched this game and we 1252 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 1: made fun of Mark on the previous show for drafted 1253 01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 1: it so early. Now we could have you still could 1254 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,840 Speaker 1: have drafted in the last but it was a very 1255 01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 1: obvious gaff in terms of the draft strategy. It wasn't 1256 01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't critical of Mark the man. This was an 1257 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 1: enjoyable game. Ended up watching this game and both quarterbacks 1258 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: played outstanding. There were dimes all over the place. And 1259 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 1: these might be two of the best five running backs 1260 01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 1: in the league right now. I you know, play a game, 1261 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 1: go watch this one game pass and count how many 1262 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 1: times Josh Jacobs and Damian Pierce didn't make the first 1263 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 1: guy miss. It's just like automatic, Like there was some good. 1264 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,360 Speaker 1: The Raiders finished with the season high fo yards of offense. 1265 01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: And you know what I said earlier about you know, 1266 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 1: they were down three points, got to win. You know 1267 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,480 Speaker 1: that's good because I think a team like the Raiders, 1268 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 1: especially with their soft schedule coming up. You just need 1269 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,640 Speaker 1: to bank that, you know, feel goodwin where you close 1270 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,040 Speaker 1: out a team and you you kind of are able 1271 01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:49,360 Speaker 1: to lose that. Man, this team is gonna come and 1272 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 1: get us at the end. That happens to us every week. 1273 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 1: I just would not be surprised if they were writing 1274 01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 1: the thick of things in a few weeks. But we 1275 01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 1: shall see one at a time. For the Yankees, I 1276 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 1: mean the Raiders, but both Okay, Dan, let's take a 1277 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:07,760 Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back. Welcome back, all right. 1278 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,080 Speaker 1: The Houston, I mean the a f C South, I 1279 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,840 Speaker 1: should say, always seems to come back to two teams. 1280 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 1: They have a huge showdown on Sunday, the Division at 1281 01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 1: Steak before Halloween. Let's check it out. Weird scheduling, is 1282 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Ryan gets rid of it quickly. Tennis 1283 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: second forty fifty, Adams forty thirty, twenty ten five touchdown Titans. 1284 01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 1: Try God, what a great place. Wow. I love that, 1285 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,080 Speaker 1: so does everybody else in this stadium. Well, let's not 1286 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:54,200 Speaker 1: speak for everyone, not Frank Raik. I'm sure there were 1287 01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 1: some cults fans in there that were furious. Mike Keith 1288 01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:59,920 Speaker 1: and Dave McGinnis still with a spicy call and I 1289 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,160 Speaker 1: like it. W g f X. Andrew Adams did have 1290 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 1: the seventies six yard pick six, a big play for 1291 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:17,000 Speaker 1: the victorious Tennessee Titans nineteen to ten over the Colts. 1292 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,040 Speaker 1: We now bring in our a f C South consigliary, 1293 01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 1: Justin Graver, what's up, buddy, This was a big one. 1294 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 1: I I say slightly in jest, but the fact that 1295 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 1: both these teams have now finished up their head to 1296 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 1: heads home and homes, I should say, by winning both, 1297 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:36,920 Speaker 1: you just get a feeling that they just ran away 1298 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,400 Speaker 1: with this division. The Titans, well, they've got to take 1299 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 1: care of business where it matters now down the stretch. 1300 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,000 Speaker 1: But as far as like being in the best position 1301 01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 1: you could possibly hope to be after an O and 1302 01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 1: to start, I think the Titans are doing well. Fifth 1303 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,480 Speaker 1: straight win over the Colts, second sweep in as many years. 1304 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 1: So that's that feels good for Diggers. Trabel owns Frank 1305 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,440 Speaker 1: Ryk right now that like Andrew Luck owned the Titans 1306 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,040 Speaker 1: for his entire career, but now the tables have turned, 1307 01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: and you know that is that's a good call, Justin 1308 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 1: because it hasn't been dominant, it hasn't been flashing. Nobody's 1309 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,920 Speaker 1: talking about the Titans, but you're kind of used to that, 1310 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 1: I know, and that's a bit of a chip on 1311 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:16,560 Speaker 1: the shoulder for Tytoons fans. But they've gotten off the 1312 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,440 Speaker 1: mat when four games in a row and they're kind 1313 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,400 Speaker 1: of right back to where you thought they would be 1314 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,600 Speaker 1: around this time. So you gotta give him credit for that. 1315 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:26,840 Speaker 1: This game was not entirely exciting. I gave. I talked 1316 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:28,440 Speaker 1: a little bit on Thursday show about how it was 1317 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 1: the fifth ranked CBS crew. They were right. It was 1318 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 1: the fifth best game probably on CBS today. Um, but 1319 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 1: it was fun for Titans fans. Bud Dupree came back 1320 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: in this game after he was heard. He played a 1321 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 1: little bit after coming back and it was hurt again. 1322 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,760 Speaker 1: Eight pressures in this game, working mostly against Dennis Kelly, 1323 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 1: the former Titan who stepped in to play left tackle 1324 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,120 Speaker 1: for the Colts, got a sack. It was the defense 1325 01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 1: that did it. I mean, the Titans were on a 1326 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,440 Speaker 1: red zone hot streak, uh eleven straight touchdowns in the 1327 01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: red zone going into this game. They were over two 1328 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,200 Speaker 1: kicked four field goals, didn't score a touchdown on offense, 1329 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 1: but still win nineteen to ten because the Colts couldn't 1330 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,400 Speaker 1: move the ball either. Where are we with Ryan Tannehillip's 1331 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,600 Speaker 1: not limping around out there, and I I heard something 1332 01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 1: about a walking boot um. After the game, Ryan Tannehill 1333 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,760 Speaker 1: turned his ankle on a play. He missed one snap. 1334 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,559 Speaker 1: Malik Willis came in handed it off. Tannehill came back 1335 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 1: the next series and finished out the game. But that 1336 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: was in I mean that was like midway through when 1337 01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:27,640 Speaker 1: was that? That was right at the beginning of the 1338 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,800 Speaker 1: fourth quarter? First play at the fourth quarter he turned 1339 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 1: his ankle. For the rest of the game, he attempted 1340 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,679 Speaker 1: two passes and Henry, that's where you could have listened 1341 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 1: to the great John Madden. Uh and what he told 1342 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 1: Dan hans Is famously, if you don't know the injury 1343 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 1: status when it happened, just make it, make it more 1344 01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,200 Speaker 1: than likely people will not check Derrick Henry. Also, again 1345 01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,240 Speaker 1: he's kind of been the face. If you had to 1346 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,880 Speaker 1: pick one player that's kind of symbolized the season for 1347 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 1: the Titans, it's Henry, who once again had a big day. 1348 01:08:55,280 --> 01:09:00,639 Speaker 1: Is third straight one yard Russian game season high totes. UH. 1349 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:04,120 Speaker 1: The team started slow, Henry started slow. He's warmed up, 1350 01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,479 Speaker 1: the team's warmed up. That is not a coincidence, right, 1351 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,559 Speaker 1: It's not a coincidence. And Henry was like the engine 1352 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 1: that won this game. Towards the end, the Colts turn 1353 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,840 Speaker 1: it over with three and a half minutes left. Frank 1354 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,040 Speaker 1: Greig had used all of his time outs on the 1355 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 1: previous drive, one on a challenge that was just a 1356 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,439 Speaker 1: phenomenal catch by Austin Hooper got the ball knocked out 1357 01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:25,639 Speaker 1: of his hands but then reclaimed it before it hit 1358 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,559 Speaker 1: the ground. That was basically the game winning play because 1359 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:30,160 Speaker 1: it put the Titans in field goal range to really 1360 01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:33,080 Speaker 1: put them up by two scores. Frank Greik used his 1361 01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,720 Speaker 1: time outs on that drive with like five minutes left 1362 01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,360 Speaker 1: in the game, hoping, I guess, to get the ball 1363 01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:40,000 Speaker 1: back with more time, but ended up being that when 1364 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,360 Speaker 1: the Titans had the ball after the turnover with three 1365 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 1: and a half minutes left, they only had to pick 1366 01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,040 Speaker 1: up a couple of first downs, which Henry did, and 1367 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 1: that I used the game what's happening to your physical 1368 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 1: body during these Titans games? When they turn in your favor? 1369 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 1: Stephens whoa and getting nervous like what are you what 1370 01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:04,320 Speaker 1: are you saying? Emotional asked a question, No emotional detection. Really, 1371 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean some some numbness has sunk. Don't you like 1372 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:13,000 Speaker 1: own a Titans website or something that I started one 1373 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 1: that I don't run anymore. But he also runs a blog. 1374 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:24,160 Speaker 1: Give me a break this um Emotionally, yeah, I don't. 1375 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't believe that differ. Difference in this division might 1376 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 1: be like they both have terrible offensive lines, but one 1377 01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 1: quarterback is a little better to deal with it than 1378 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,759 Speaker 1: the other. And the Colts, to me, are such a team. 1379 01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're three three and one. They're 1380 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:43,680 Speaker 1: so far from good. Uh not good? Uh? They you know, 1381 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 1: we know their offense isn't good, but like they are 1382 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,720 Speaker 1: an example of this season because defenses are letting you 1383 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 1: just throw the ball seven yards at a time ultimately, 1384 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,920 Speaker 1: if that's what you're gonna do. And that's why you know, 1385 01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,599 Speaker 1: Ryan threw it fifty something times last week, he threw 1386 01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 1: it forty four times this week, and yet they didn't 1387 01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,920 Speaker 1: top three hundred yards and they got ten points. Like 1388 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 1: if there's just something about my my brain breaks that 1389 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,799 Speaker 1: he's completed thirty three passes and they have ten points, 1390 01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:14,040 Speaker 1: but that very much is like the NFL in two, 1391 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 1: a lot of completed passes going his team beat the Chiefs. 1392 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 1: That is the name I've ever seen. Just here's the 1393 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 1: good news, justin it's the g men corollary here. They 1394 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 1: are perfectly built for this NFL. They have They run 1395 01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,280 Speaker 1: a ball control offense with a Hall of Fame running 1396 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:36,120 Speaker 1: back and a quarterback that's not gonna kill you very often. 1397 01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,200 Speaker 1: And they are battle playoffs against the Bengals, We're not 1398 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 1: talking the playoffs, and they're battle tested with a good 1399 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:44,759 Speaker 1: coaching staff. They will win a lot of close games 1400 01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,599 Speaker 1: this year, and we're gonna look up at the standings 1401 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,600 Speaker 1: in January. They're gonna be twelve and five, and you 1402 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,320 Speaker 1: might even have a buy again. Yeah, yeah, we'll see. 1403 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm taking the under at something might, but I think 1404 01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:57,639 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a team that ends up winning 1405 01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,360 Speaker 1: eleven games and again, and you'll be like, what I'm 1406 01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,719 Speaker 1: gonna picking some of the playoffs would be proven correct 1407 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 1: in that, but it is what it is. They're the 1408 01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,559 Speaker 1: only team in either Southern Division to have a winning record. 1409 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:14,240 Speaker 1: I got the vapors talking about like the Panthers are 1410 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:17,400 Speaker 1: one game out in the NFC South. Everyone's alive. One 1411 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,200 Speaker 1: more game before Sunday Night football has head to land 1412 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:25,000 Speaker 1: over Maryland. Flock to the left started nine, pressure up 1413 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:30,240 Speaker 1: the middle, love flood towards mclardad catch the Packers for 1414 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:42,320 Speaker 1: mcst dow Bram Weinstein. And that was not I would 1415 01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 1: tell you what. That's not London Fletcher. That's Julie Donaldson 1416 01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:49,839 Speaker 1: with the call um for w B. I g listen 1417 01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:53,439 Speaker 1: Tyler Heineke. He's got plucked for days and you don't 1418 01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 1: want him start in ten games in a row, but 1419 01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,719 Speaker 1: he steps in. You squint hard enough. This a little 1420 01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,360 Speaker 1: farm to him just kind of looks like far a 1421 01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 1: little bit sometimes just throws the ball for grabs and 1422 01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:06,840 Speaker 1: good things happen. And then good things happened for the 1423 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:11,680 Speaker 1: Commanders in a twenty three win for the Packers. We 1424 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:17,599 Speaker 1: gotta ask them they're good. We Mark Um, let's start 1425 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,160 Speaker 1: with you on this one. Let's start on a personal note. 1426 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:25,120 Speaker 1: You moved out of a lock who was your original 1427 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:29,960 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs who are victorious easily this and this 1428 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,799 Speaker 1: is why. This is part of what makes you Mark 1429 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,680 Speaker 1: and part of why I love you. Mark. You're so unpredictable. 1430 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:40,639 Speaker 1: Um and volcanic in some ways that you moved away 1431 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 1: from the Chiefs and then shows a team that you 1432 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:47,000 Speaker 1: actively dislike to believe for you expect, you know, the 1433 01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,559 Speaker 1: football gods. They're obviously gonna smite you on that one. 1434 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,439 Speaker 1: And they did. You took the l Yeah, they dropped 1435 01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 1: an old ancient hammer on me today. And I'll tell 1436 01:13:55,160 --> 01:14:00,960 Speaker 1: you something that ever again, lock up the Packers ever 1437 01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:04,919 Speaker 1: in my life. They are so I know that they've 1438 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,920 Speaker 1: been on a tugboat time out. They're on a sessy 1439 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:14,360 Speaker 1: lifetime band. Well, it's about a sessy sit in sessy suspension, 1440 01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:21,040 Speaker 1: se suspension for a lifetime suspension. I am. I cannot believe. 1441 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,599 Speaker 1: First of all, you would have enjoyed sitting and watching 1442 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 1: this game with markets the first and Greg you can 1443 01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 1: explain like the first half ended while the game I 1444 01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,280 Speaker 1: was watching was deep into the third quarter, and it's 1445 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:36,000 Speaker 1: like this thing went on for four thousand years. It 1446 01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 1: was as drawn out as possible and unpleasant to watch 1447 01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,360 Speaker 1: in my circumstances. But what did you think of it? 1448 01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,559 Speaker 1: One and the Packers made a touchdown to make it 1449 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 1: close at the end, Setler like explode and was just 1450 01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,920 Speaker 1: like like please like relieve me like, I will love 1451 01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 1: you forever Packers if you win this game. And this 1452 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 1: is why I don't do fantasy football. This is why 1453 01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,360 Speaker 1: I don't play corner hole with you. Is because I 1454 01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,559 Speaker 1: get to competitive, so I know not to it the 1455 01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:05,280 Speaker 1: locks competition. You are super into it. I'm into lock lost. 1456 01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:11,680 Speaker 1: By the way, the team digger, Shame on you. If 1457 01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:13,160 Speaker 1: I had locked the Titans, they would have blown it. 1458 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:19,080 Speaker 1: That's not how um. Let's talk about the game. Let's 1459 01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,800 Speaker 1: um before we get to Washington and the good stuff 1460 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:24,559 Speaker 1: there a little. We'll save the best for last there. 1461 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,880 Speaker 1: The Packers are the bigger story because the Packers, instead 1462 01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:32,120 Speaker 1: of a get right game against a backup quarterback and 1463 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:37,760 Speaker 1: land over Maryland, they instead lose again, which led to 1464 01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,880 Speaker 1: the questions for the team after the game, including to 1465 01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers writing the ship and getting the playoffs in 1466 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 1: that field right now? Damn right, it does. I'm not 1467 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about this squad. In fact, this might 1468 01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:54,200 Speaker 1: be the best thing for us this week. You know, 1469 01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,120 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna give us a chance. Go on to Buffalo 1470 01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:01,519 Speaker 1: and Sunny Night football the chance they could ex most shoot, 1471 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,960 Speaker 1: it might be the best thing for us. I don't know, 1472 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if they can and it's like they 1473 01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:11,800 Speaker 1: can run, but where are they running to? Well, I 1474 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,720 Speaker 1: mean they have their own issues in the playoffs, that's 1475 01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 1: how they got into tugboat time out um, but there 1476 01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:21,880 Speaker 1: are issues on offense. It's it's just not happening. You know. 1477 01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,839 Speaker 1: They make that beautiful throw, that scramble where Rogers flushes 1478 01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,640 Speaker 1: out of the pocket and then hints Aaron Jones to 1479 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: give them life in the second half, and it's like, 1480 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 1: why is it there more of that? Like why is 1481 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,479 Speaker 1: everything so hard? Especially with the passing game. Greg There 1482 01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,599 Speaker 1: was one moment on a key fourth in one where 1483 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,840 Speaker 1: they have Aaron Jones and I Absolute Hammer and A J. 1484 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:46,160 Speaker 1: Dillon and they try to pass to Romeo Dobbs who's 1485 01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 1: never met a pass. He couldn't drop right. And I 1486 01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:52,080 Speaker 1: think he had his hands on four passes today and 1487 01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,360 Speaker 1: he had zero. Or that's my point. This is an 1488 01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:58,400 Speaker 1: ongoing situation with the receivers here. It has kind of 1489 01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 1: been a worst case scenario where he's struggling to find 1490 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:04,559 Speaker 1: so many trust. Yet the game plans remains this like 1491 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,120 Speaker 1: Rogers will figure it out in big spots and they're 1492 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:08,960 Speaker 1: not figuring it out right, and he you know, he 1493 01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:12,960 Speaker 1: was seeing mouthing to the sideline after a separate possession 1494 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,439 Speaker 1: that ended on a Romeo Dobbs drop. Although I would 1495 01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 1: point out Rogers through that past low and his accuracy 1496 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 1: was not great throughout today, he's playing through that thumb injury. 1497 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:24,880 Speaker 1: He's not playing well. Dobbs isn't playing well. But that 1498 01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,679 Speaker 1: was another situation where they're not going to the running 1499 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,280 Speaker 1: game and he was mouthing to the sideline, what are 1500 01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,800 Speaker 1: we effing doing? What are we doing? And it's like 1501 01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,880 Speaker 1: a weekly, weekly cutaway to him doing something. The frustration 1502 01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 1: of the They had eighty yards going into the fourth 1503 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 1: quarter of this game. They had three good fourth quarter drives. 1504 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,880 Speaker 1: One of them ended on that on down, so it 1505 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:49,760 Speaker 1: ended up being a heartbreak on that fourth down play. 1506 01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,439 Speaker 1: But then they had a touchdown and you know, the 1507 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 1: garbage time drive. They had eighty yards the Green Bay Packers. 1508 01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:59,000 Speaker 1: And it all comes together because there's a lack of rhythm, 1509 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,479 Speaker 1: certainly on often and a lot of quick drives like 1510 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,320 Speaker 1: they were. I think out of their first six drive, 1511 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,479 Speaker 1: five of them were punts, three of them three and out. 1512 01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,840 Speaker 1: It's another couple where they just get one first down 1513 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,680 Speaker 1: and point. But part of it is their defense can 1514 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,600 Speaker 1: never get off the field, So it's a combination. The 1515 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,600 Speaker 1: Washington Commanders had thirty seven yards minutes a time of 1516 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,519 Speaker 1: possession and in the second half they had a sixteen 1517 01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:25,599 Speaker 1: play like eight minute forty eight uh second long field 1518 01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,280 Speaker 1: goal drive. And that's something we've seen in the second 1519 01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: half of all their games. Like the Washington uh running 1520 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,880 Speaker 1: game was really pretty dynamic and mixed it up throughout 1521 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,120 Speaker 1: the day. Heineke did not play well. Get to him 1522 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,880 Speaker 1: in a second, but it's it's all like of one 1523 01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: piece to me, like the offense and the defense and 1524 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,400 Speaker 1: Alan Lozard goes out and like all the targets Dan 1525 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:48,720 Speaker 1: are to Lazard and Jones, and you're saying, why is 1526 01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:50,200 Speaker 1: it more of that, because like they don't have more 1527 01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,320 Speaker 1: of those players that Rogers trust. Seventeen targets to those 1528 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,360 Speaker 1: two guys, and when you you don't get those two guys, 1529 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,639 Speaker 1: you got nothing. And let's get to Washington a second. 1530 01:18:57,640 --> 01:18:59,880 Speaker 1: But just one more note the Sammy Watkins play where 1531 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:03,800 Speaker 1: it was a deep throw um and he was being 1532 01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,439 Speaker 1: interfered with, but he kind of pulled up on the 1533 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,160 Speaker 1: route and the throw was so over his head that 1534 01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,439 Speaker 1: they picked up the flag to the point where the 1535 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 1: announcers like Sammy Halkins hurt there and it's like, was 1536 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,240 Speaker 1: he actually injured. I don't think so. He either wasn't 1537 01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:19,040 Speaker 1: running the route right or or he doesn't have any 1538 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,800 Speaker 1: speed left on his legs. It's just very sloppy on 1539 01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,439 Speaker 1: that side. On a day where Aaron Joe's and a J. 1540 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,840 Speaker 1: Dillon had twelve carries combined. Wow, and one last thing 1541 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 1: on them too. I think Rogers is afraid of his 1542 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 1: offensive line, and I don't know David Buck he didn't 1543 01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,639 Speaker 1: have today, and they're playing a team that was one 1544 01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,519 Speaker 1: of the highest uh you know, rated teams in terms 1545 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,800 Speaker 1: of pressure sacks, pressure rate. Okay, one quarterback in this 1546 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:48,479 Speaker 1: game actually was hit ten times. That was Taylor Heineke. 1547 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 1: One offensive line almost pitched the Gholston on Washington. That 1548 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:57,080 Speaker 1: was Green Bay. Rogers was barely touched because he wasn't 1549 01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,000 Speaker 1: holding onto the ball. He was getting rid of it quickly. 1550 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 1: So I think he was almost like spooked. You never 1551 01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 1: see them make a play. I was just watching this 1552 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:10,760 Speaker 1: Packer's offense and be like someone making no one's making 1553 01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,519 Speaker 1: a play. And and that includes Aaron Rodgers. He's not 1554 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,600 Speaker 1: playing well and in this time, I don't think he 1555 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,680 Speaker 1: made good decisions in terms of when he got rid 1556 01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,360 Speaker 1: of the ball. And on the Washington side, Terry McLaurin, 1557 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,040 Speaker 1: his numbers aren't great this year because quarterback play has 1558 01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:26,120 Speaker 1: been so erratic and in general, the Commander's offense is 1559 01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:30,800 Speaker 1: pretty uh middling at best. But he made several big 1560 01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,960 Speaker 1: plays in this game, including the beautiful touchdown on a 1561 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:37,120 Speaker 1: great throw from Heineke. Uh. They have to make sure 1562 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,519 Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel has been nice for them, uh and has 1563 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 1: found his role. They have Brian Robinson back there with 1564 01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,559 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, but Tarry McLaren has gotta be targeted ten 1565 01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,880 Speaker 1: times a game. He's he's the guy, He's the dude. 1566 01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,000 Speaker 1: I know you agree with that one, Greg, Yeah, he 1567 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,320 Speaker 1: won them this game. We we put so much on 1568 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,400 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and I'll mention heine Key in a second, but 1569 01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 1: sometimes you just need your guys to go make a play. 1570 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 1: And that was McLaurin today, two plays including that that 1571 01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,559 Speaker 1: lob I love that play call. I mean that call 1572 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,240 Speaker 1: by the radio play by play there that was like 1573 01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 1: Heineke lobs it up, which is what a lot of 1574 01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:12,720 Speaker 1: his passes are, and McLaren went and just got it. 1575 01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,880 Speaker 1: And he beat Die Alexander multiple times in this game, 1576 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,800 Speaker 1: including on that last drive a couple of times. Uh, 1577 01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,920 Speaker 1: that's just like your best player beating the other guy's 1578 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:24,000 Speaker 1: best player. He did it on the touchdown throw too. 1579 01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,000 Speaker 1: And Heineke, to you know, to his credit, gave Samuel 1580 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 1: and McLaren a chance to make plays a few times 1581 01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:31,920 Speaker 1: and they did it. He could not have been worse 1582 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:33,760 Speaker 1: to start this game. And I were down on him 1583 01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 1: when we were discussing this during the in his he 1584 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 1: was one for eight at one point with a couple 1585 01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,679 Speaker 1: a couple interceptions or one interception, and at that point 1586 01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:45,920 Speaker 1: he had three dropped interceptions and an interception to start 1587 01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 1: the game. He could have had four interceptions in the 1588 01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 1: first quarter of this game, but the Packers couldn't finish. 1589 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,720 Speaker 1: And you know what I thought, though, I thought, he's 1590 01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,200 Speaker 1: been listening to our sound drop all season. You know 1591 01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:59,200 Speaker 1: what it is. It's like you're gonna go ahead, and 1592 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:01,960 Speaker 1: as we all know, decided to really go ahead and 1593 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:05,480 Speaker 1: start to take command. And I felt like Heineke's performance 1594 01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,800 Speaker 1: in this game. He knows that if you just tune 1595 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 1: in this our Super Bowl fifty seven coverage of Commander's Packers. 1596 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:17,000 Speaker 1: It really was a fascinating game that he was setting 1597 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,400 Speaker 1: up like that. Part of the drop the first quarter 1598 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:22,920 Speaker 1: was I I maybe if we left the room, do 1599 01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,560 Speaker 1: you think he would just keep talking the next three quarters? 1600 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,920 Speaker 1: Taking command? He took command. He took command. He did, 1601 01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:32,559 Speaker 1: he did, and he'll be back again because Carson wentz 1602 01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:37,200 Speaker 1: H is injured for the foreseeable future. All right, would 1603 01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:41,120 Speaker 1: you please shut up? All right, there goes Dan. Wait 1604 01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,840 Speaker 1: where did Dan go? Oh? Dan's no longer here. Let's 1605 01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:49,599 Speaker 1: get to the Sunday night football game. Nick thought about running. 1606 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:54,360 Speaker 1: That's the firing stand sidelines to come down with the 1607 01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:58,400 Speaker 1: second foot, Holland says, for afewing line coach comes down 1608 01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:07,560 Speaker 1: for a conversation. Christie happens, may happen? Look one down. 1609 01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:14,320 Speaker 1: That was a jarring end to a sixteen to ten 1610 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:18,960 Speaker 1: Dolphins victory. Kenny pick it getting picked off by Noah 1611 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 1: Igbinogeny in the end zone to uh end a late 1612 01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:26,559 Speaker 1: bid by the Steelers. The steel one and yeah, like 1613 01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:30,880 Speaker 1: hopefully for all the listeners, wasn't too jarring a transition 1614 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:35,840 Speaker 1: there from Dan to myself. But you know, he got 1615 01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 1: up around three am Pacific time to take a flight 1616 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,800 Speaker 1: back from New York, so he is back home and uh, 1617 01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully enjoyed this one. Mark not a lot 1618 01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 1: of points in the second half. It had a prime 1619 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,040 Speaker 1: time sixteen to ten final type of field, and yet 1620 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 1: this one felt a lot more interesting than the Broncos 1621 01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 1: type of prime time games we've gotten, Oh for sure. 1622 01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:58,840 Speaker 1: I mean think it's you know, it's started with the 1623 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,920 Speaker 1: suggestion of a better primetime game than we've then we've 1624 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,280 Speaker 1: been used to. I mean the Dolphins coming out scoring 1625 01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 1: on the first three drives, but then it went dark, 1626 01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:08,639 Speaker 1: and I mean this is a kind of game where 1627 01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:12,120 Speaker 1: you're left wondering. I think there are questions if you're 1628 01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,599 Speaker 1: a Dolphins fan about where you are with TWA because 1629 01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,280 Speaker 1: if anyone was who was luckier in this game then 1630 01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:21,160 Speaker 1: to Ah to throw They say four interceptions that were 1631 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,840 Speaker 1: dropped that that would be like turnover worthy plays. I 1632 01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 1: think there were five actually, But this was a messy, 1633 01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,679 Speaker 1: messy second half of the Dolphin with a negativity. Yeah, 1634 01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be negative because I think like 1635 01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,160 Speaker 1: he does good things, but it's like that we've sort 1636 01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 1: of seen little dottings of that throughout this season where 1637 01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:41,640 Speaker 1: he's been a lot dropped picks. I think that's why. Uh, 1638 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,240 Speaker 1: that's like showed up in his PFF grade and stuff 1639 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:46,800 Speaker 1: like that. And he's been fortunately started off the game 1640 01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:50,040 Speaker 1: so well and then he got cold and he lucked out. 1641 01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,800 Speaker 1: But you know, the game the way it ended, you know, 1642 01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 1: pick it and this offense is is where kind of 1643 01:24:57,080 --> 01:25:01,960 Speaker 1: I'll start because they they just seem limited. You know, 1644 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,880 Speaker 1: they get a good game out of naj Harris. Uh, 1645 01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:10,280 Speaker 1: they have their receivers out there. The Dolphins lost, uh 1646 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,320 Speaker 1: a cornerback or two during the game. They were down there. 1647 01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,200 Speaker 1: They were down four cornerbacks in this game. And then 1648 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 1: they lost their safety Brandon Jones, who's the starter next 1649 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:23,160 Speaker 1: to Javon Holland. And yet they couldn't take advantage of 1650 01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:27,360 Speaker 1: those one on one matchups. They didn't trust their offensive 1651 01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,360 Speaker 1: line to protect enough, or their offensive line didn't protect 1652 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,400 Speaker 1: enough or pick it um, you know, just couldn't quite 1653 01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:36,040 Speaker 1: get it to his playmakers on the outside. That final 1654 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 1: play I think was a miscommunication. You know, it's a 1655 01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:42,479 Speaker 1: scramble drill. He thought Deante Johnson was gonna go one way, 1656 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,640 Speaker 1: Johnson goes the other. We saw a similar type of 1657 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 1: play with Clay Chase Claypool earlier in the fourth quarter, 1658 01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:51,439 Speaker 1: and uh, he also could have you know, pick It 1659 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:54,320 Speaker 1: could have ran maybe for about fifteen twenty yards. And 1660 01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,479 Speaker 1: you're seeing good things out of pick It every game, 1661 01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:01,080 Speaker 1: but between the play calling and then the offensive line 1662 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:04,719 Speaker 1: and the lack of synchronicity like in a rookie quarterback, 1663 01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:06,640 Speaker 1: it just doesn't add up to a lot. No, I 1664 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:09,439 Speaker 1: really should I wanted to see miss Robisky. That sounds stupid, 1665 01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,760 Speaker 1: do you know what? I remember your we in the 1666 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 1: viewing room. You said that, and I it depends what 1667 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,000 Speaker 1: they want to accomplish this season, because if you wanted 1668 01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,640 Speaker 1: to win some of these games a close game, what 1669 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:23,160 Speaker 1: you got from Mitt Versy last game probably would have 1670 01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,400 Speaker 1: gotten you there tonight. But that's there that that's a 1671 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,840 Speaker 1: small sample size. I'm getting I'm getting overly influenced by 1672 01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:31,080 Speaker 1: how he played against the Bucks, where he was just 1673 01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,960 Speaker 1: throwing it very aggressively, and that was not that trabiscuit 1674 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 1: we saw. So maybe I'm being unfair to pick It. 1675 01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's another three interception game for Picket. I'm 1676 01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,640 Speaker 1: willing willing to be patient with him if they if 1677 01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:43,720 Speaker 1: they want to go this course, he's not going to 1678 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,000 Speaker 1: be fully cooked or developed in in you know, a 1679 01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:48,760 Speaker 1: third start. That the early interception in the game in 1680 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,559 Speaker 1: the first quarter was another one where Chase Claypool fell down. 1681 01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 1: It just seems like there's a lot of miscommunication and 1682 01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:57,960 Speaker 1: off target that could have been a path interference to 1683 01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,320 Speaker 1: they could have called that is the two guys at knee. 1684 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,799 Speaker 1: So he I feel like Pickets had an extraordinary amount 1685 01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,800 Speaker 1: of bad luck on top of everything. But he did 1686 01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:08,519 Speaker 1: make an interception. We should point out on the drive 1687 01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 1: before that game, uh, ending interception. The Steelers were driving, 1688 01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,679 Speaker 1: had a really nice drive. Uh you know, got ten 1689 01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,200 Speaker 1: plays or twelve place sixty two yards, you know, got 1690 01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:22,080 Speaker 1: down to the thirty and then he was fooled and 1691 01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:25,200 Speaker 1: threw and right at Javon Holland, who is having uh 1692 01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,639 Speaker 1: an all pro type of season for the Dolphins. Yeah 1693 01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:31,080 Speaker 1: and me. And so the point about this game, Miami 1694 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 1: at that point could have closed this thing down. They 1695 01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:36,280 Speaker 1: get the ball at the Pittsburgh forty nine after the 1696 01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,360 Speaker 1: run back and they go three and out. I mean, 1697 01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,559 Speaker 1: they just it just seemed like both offenses came to 1698 01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:42,720 Speaker 1: die in the second half. Essentially. Yeah, it was so 1699 01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:46,000 Speaker 1: shocking because so to set the table, the Dolphins come 1700 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:49,880 Speaker 1: out looking incredible. You mentioned how to have started the game. 1701 01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:54,320 Speaker 1: Everything was wide open, everything was perfect. Raheem Moster is, 1702 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, ripping outside zone run. They go touchdown field goal, 1703 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 1: field goal to start, and you felt like, man, the 1704 01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,920 Speaker 1: Steelers are lucky that it's only thirteen nothing, because it 1705 01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:08,360 Speaker 1: seemed like the Dolphins could do anything they want, but 1706 01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:10,720 Speaker 1: they just kind of shot themselves in the foot as 1707 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,400 Speaker 1: they got close to scoring their touchdowns and couldn't finish 1708 01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,400 Speaker 1: those drives. But I gotta say that's kind of a 1709 01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:18,559 Speaker 1: trend for this Dolphins team. So you can see how 1710 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,000 Speaker 1: good Mike McDaniel is as a coach. You can see 1711 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,280 Speaker 1: how comfortable to it is, and how good he is 1712 01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,679 Speaker 1: when he's hot. I mean, he did that little pirouette move. 1713 01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean, never seen a play quite like that. Instead 1714 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:30,040 Speaker 1: of a three step drop, he put his back to 1715 01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:33,000 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and then just and and then 1716 01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 1: just flipped around and threw it too. It was like 1717 01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:37,680 Speaker 1: a one step drop where he just spun and he 1718 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 1: threw that to Tyreek Kill like they're doing cool stuff 1719 01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:41,479 Speaker 1: and then you look up at the end of the 1720 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,760 Speaker 1: game and they have sixteen points. And that was kind 1721 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 1: of similar when Teddy and Skyler Thompson was in that 1722 01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,719 Speaker 1: they had a ton of good stats, but their offense 1723 01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 1: has only scored over twenty one points one time this year. Yeah, 1724 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,560 Speaker 1: and then to it including you know, in four to 1725 01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,080 Speaker 1: us starts one time this year over twenty one point. 1726 01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:58,519 Speaker 1: So they're getting a lot of yards, not scoring a 1727 01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,200 Speaker 1: lot of points. To your point about the fat start, 1728 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:01,960 Speaker 1: they had a hundred and sixty five yards and ten 1729 01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:05,680 Speaker 1: first downs before Pittsburgh had their first first down and 1730 01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:08,360 Speaker 1: like big plays too. I was shocked. I think Brian 1731 01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:11,120 Speaker 1: Flores did a good job, you know, maybe helping out 1732 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:13,759 Speaker 1: with that defense and Mike Tomlin and they made some adjustment. 1733 01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:16,720 Speaker 1: Mincoz Patrick had a good day. But they were the 1734 01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,840 Speaker 1: first team maybe almost all year since since we went 1735 01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:24,799 Speaker 1: to really a week two to shut down Tyreek kill. Yeah, 1736 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean something, I do think something. No, I think 1737 01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 1: it's just it just reminds me of the environment of 1738 01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:32,439 Speaker 1: every game where what we're seeming to watch, where it's like, 1739 01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why the entire league seems to have 1740 01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:38,960 Speaker 1: shifted in a cozy fashion back to because you like old. 1741 01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:43,000 Speaker 1: I don't like this though, this is like you're limited 1742 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:44,599 Speaker 1: as the word for a lot of these offenses. I 1743 01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,599 Speaker 1: like when a offense can destroy someone on the ground 1744 01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,519 Speaker 1: every once in a while and just from like more 1745 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 1: demoralize them psychologically. That's not this. This is demoralizing me 1746 01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:57,920 Speaker 1: psychologically when we're you know, this isn't like the tenth 1747 01:29:57,920 --> 01:29:59,679 Speaker 1: hour of football today, and it's a lot of low 1748 01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:04,160 Speaker 1: I I watched the Bucks Panthers game. Hey, I like, 1749 01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm sad that it demoralized you psychologically, but I do 1750 01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:09,559 Speaker 1: enjoy that. That's what you like out of your sports 1751 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:15,679 Speaker 1: is is one team morally or demoralizing the other team? 1752 01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,640 Speaker 1: It has been. I like punishment. I mean I do 1753 01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:20,519 Speaker 1: like a nice blow out every once in a while. 1754 01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,360 Speaker 1: I always say, how I enjoyed that Seahawks Broncos blowout 1755 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:26,920 Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. It's fun, This wasn't we Are 1756 01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:31,000 Speaker 1: the Dolphins good? To continue our theme, I mean they're 1757 01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,960 Speaker 1: on the fringe, on the fringe of very good and good. 1758 01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:35,600 Speaker 1: I think they're on the fringe of good and what 1759 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:39,839 Speaker 1: we'll see, Yeah, their defense kind of is so injured 1760 01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:41,559 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure what to make out of them. 1761 01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,439 Speaker 1: Even before they were this injured, they were kind of middley. 1762 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,200 Speaker 1: They only gave up ten points tonight. They give ten 1763 01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:50,200 Speaker 1: points to an offense totally in search of itself. Are 1764 01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:53,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers good? No, No, we're not there yet. Are 1765 01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:59,720 Speaker 1: the Titans good? Come on, you guys one unanimously, would 1766 01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,160 Speaker 1: we would put them in the good category? Not? Maybe? Yeah, 1767 01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:08,679 Speaker 1: a low bar. I don't know, They're pretty good, pretty good, Greg, Yes, 1768 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:12,679 Speaker 1: I want to clean some up some housekeeping from earlier. 1769 01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:15,720 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Mark's really glad that it's he's just 1770 01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:19,400 Speaker 1: getting the full blast of this.
