Speaker 1: off deckerption Williams with the pick. We'll tell and the

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: Jets opened things up. Welcome back to the Around the

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: NFL podcast. That was the Jets score and touchdowns after

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns on Thursday Night Football. This is Greg Rosenthal. I'm

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: with Chris west Lean and we're gonna get to the

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: big show previewing Week two with Dan Hansis and Mark

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: Sessler in just a few minutes. But west let's talk

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: about these Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick played so well that he

20
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: inspired a headline on ESPN that says he had a

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: Nameth esque performance. Are you impressed? Absolutely impressed? You referenced

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: heat check to me. He was like a three point

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: shooter with a spit spot in basketball. You keep going

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: right back to that spot, keep chucking it up until

25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: you cool down. He's throwing downfield to Deck or Marshall

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: and your boy Quincy and noon while and these guys

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: are killing Ronald Darby and Stefan Gilmore allegedly one of

28
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: the better cornerback tandems in the NFL. And Noah has

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: been a revelation through the preseason and now into the

30
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: regular season. He's built like a tight end. They kind

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: of cover him like a tight end and you can't

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: cover him, and he looks legit and suddenly you have

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: three receivers now that are physical. You're in fact Forte

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: who's essentially a receiver. That's four that that's a great point.

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: And Fitzpatrick, I didn't. I'd have to go back and look.

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I gotta think this was his best game as a jet. Well,

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you a stet Okay. He had ten completions

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: of at least fifteen yards, which is the third most

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: of any quarterback in the last ten years. That doesn't

40
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: surprise me. You do not see quarterbacks go down the

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: field over and over and over again. Well, he's got

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: a weak arm relative to other franchise quarterbacks. But they

43
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: saw they set a stat on the game cast tonight

44
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: that he threw the second mass the second most deep

45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: passes in the NFL last year, and he was accurate.

46
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: And this was partly about coaching and game planning and

47
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: him recognizing what the Bills were doing, not really giving

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: their cornerback safety help and taking advantage. But the Jets

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: offense to me, has looked good through two weeks. Overall.

50
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: They racked up almost five yards in this game. They

51
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: moved the ball on the Bengals. They dominated up front

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: in the running game against Cincinnati. This time they gave

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick great pass protection. If you're Dan Hansas and you're

54
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, I mean, you gotta feel great after

55
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: this performance. You go from the second quarter where you're

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: feeling like this could be a season ending injury to

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall. And I saw Dan replied to somebody on

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Twitter who asked, are the playoffs hopes dead if Brandon

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Marshall was out for the year. Dan had no qualification,

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: no hesitation, just yes, playoff hopes are dead, and Brandon

61
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: Marshall thanked the football gods. If you're a Jets fan,

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: he misses only a handful of plays, comes jogging back

63
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: from the locker room and immediately right out onto the

64
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: field when everyone assumes his knee is blown up, and

65
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: and he came back, he made some catches. You know,

66
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: their defense was better than the final score indicated. The

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: game should not have been this close. It was flukey

68
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: that it was so close. And I think Rex Ryan

69
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: after the game knew it. And Rex gets particularly depressed

70
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: when his defense is the reason that they lose, and

71
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: he was really lead down after the game. He just

72
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: kind of said, you know, we I thought we could

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: cover him. I thought our guys could cover him. He

74
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: told the CBS halftime reporter on the sideline, Tracy Wilson,

75
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: that he has, you know, the best cornerback duo in

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: the league. And it's one of those things. He said

77
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: it so much that he just believes it that it

78
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: can't not be true, and he doesn't help these guys out.

79
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't adjust and it's like he had no other

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: move that's supposed to be the strength of his defense.

81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: With Marcel Darius uh suspended, Mario Williams in Miami, and

82
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams not what he was a few years ago,

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: and they got I think Fitzpatrick was thirteen of nineteen

84
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: for two and a touchdown against those two cornerbacks. I mean,

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: they have Jerry Hughes, he looks good. They have Kyle Williams,

86
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: but otherwise they have too many replacement level guys on

87
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: this defense. Zack Brown, Lorenzo Alexander, who's played well at times,

88
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: and Rex after the game, maybe knowing that Arizona in

89
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: New England was ahead, he just seems so down. And

90
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: this quote really got me. He said I was afraid

91
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: to pressure because we weren't holding up. And hearing Rex

92
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Ryan say he was afraid to do anything defensively tells

93
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: you this is not a normal oh and two team.

94
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: To me, this is an Owen two team with major

95
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: injury problems. Sammy Watkins not on the field, the defense

96
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: is incomplete, and there's the whole specter of his job

97
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: and in the general manager's job. We said throughout August

98
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: that this team had a chance of cratering because they

99
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: have no depth. And if you have if you have

100
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: an injury to Sammy Watkins. This could be a lingering,

101
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: season long injury. He told Tracy Wolfson before the game tonight,

102
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: it's a pain management issue to catches for twenty yards.

103
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: He's not on the field for the last two Bills drives,

104
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: and this offense is done without him. He's their franchise player.

105
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: They have no existent wide receiver depth at all. This

106
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: offense is in a world of hurt without Yeah, Tyred

107
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: Taylor to me has looked shaky in both weeks. I

108
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: know he had a couple of big plays, but he

109
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: hasn't been making quick decisions. I don't I don't think

110
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: you can survive the way they did tonight week after week.

111
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: So that's a big problem. And they know they know

112
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: they're not as good. I mean, the Jets were a

113
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: much much better team. They're in a division with the Patriots.

114
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: If you see the box score tomorrow morning, it's incredibly

115
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: misleading for the Bill's offense. Tyrod Taylor, like you said,

116
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: took too long, did not make great decisions in the pocket,

117
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: and his stats are padded by a seventy one yard

118
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: played to Greg South on Greg Salas when he left

119
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: the pocket. Excuse me and the long touchdown to Markee's

120
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: good when the Durrell Rebas got burned on Yeah not

121
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: that was probably the one downside for the Jets was

122
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: Reus giving up that touchdown. But on a night where uh,

123
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, the I know we don't bring baseball and

124
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: on the night where the Yankees lost a game with

125
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: a couple outs in the nine nine and that hurt

126
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: Dan handss Uh. He texted me after this Jets win

127
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: for once, and we don't have Keith handsas on this week,

128
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: We're we're gonna have him back. But in the absence

129
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: of Keith, I'm gonna read dance text for once, it

130
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: is the Jets that save my sanity. I love them

131
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: and want to hold them forever. Good for that. Great

132
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: news for the Jets, and uh, great news for Dan

133
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: because he's going to host the rest of this show.

134
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: Let's send it over to him. Be Around the NFL Podcast.

135
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: He is going to start a revolution from its bed.

136
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,160

Speaker 1: Wes and Greg the scientists breaking down Thursday night football

141
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: between the Jets and Bills. This is being recorded before that,

142
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: so I and A in a healthy thing for the podcast,

143
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: have no idea if it went good or bad, I

144
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: could be even keeled. I can only imagine if they

145
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: don't win tonight what this podcast would have been like.

146
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if we should have done that. Maybe

147
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: I want to thank you guys. By the way, we

Speaker 1: week of purity UH entering Sunday because after this Sunday

179
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some teams that are owing too and

180
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: most of those fan bases know what that means. You

181
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: probably stink or you're not very good. But if you

182
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: get out of week two with a win, and even

183
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: after a loss in week one, you're one in one,

184
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: you're in the mix. You're a game out at the worst,

185
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: and you're in the wild card mix. But right now,

186
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: everybody's flying high. Nothing could go wrong right now, we're okay.

187
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: Is the fork committee meeting this year? Mm hmm, that's

188
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: another segment that got forked for we used to fork. Yeah,

189
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: I think we could. We could talk to some Yeah, Greg,

190
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: are we allowed to have that segment? It's not up

191
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: to it's up to the people of our segments. Greg goes, no,

192
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: let's not do this anymore. He is cleaning the show

193
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: up big time, to the point where all we do is,

194
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, preview offensive line first defensive line tendencies. By

195
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: the way, that the Rams did not make it out

196
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: of week one with any purity, there's ended after one week.

197
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: There's a theory floating around the Twitter verse that Greg

198
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: is perfectly sabotaging all these segments and get getting rid

199
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: of him so he can bring our j VP back

200
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: as a better podcast than ours. Really, that is a theory?

201
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: What what is our j VP? I don't know, see

202
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: that the reference went over my head. Ever heard of it?

203
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: H anyway? Is that a real theory out there? I

204
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: the first I've heard of it. It sounds pretty ridiculous.

205
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: Uh So, yes, this is a time of hope in

206
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. Not for much longer though, but for now.

207
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: All the teams believe in themselves and that's something to

208
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: be excited about. So we're gonna go through all the games.

209
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: So the Thursday night game is in the rear view mirrors.

210
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: So that means there are fifteen games. Teams. You think

211
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: you have that part memorize by now that one is

212
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: the tough one. It's fifteen. Sometimes I think, do I

213
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: divide the fifteen by two? And then I'm at seven

214
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: and a half and I'm like, WHOA, that's not right.

215
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I think you've given us a window into just how

216
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: awful you are at Matt Well. I don't know if

217
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this. I got a thirty nine once at

218
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: a statement dated that Taste New York. Anyway, So if

219
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: we got fifteen games to talk about, and I'm excited

220
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: to do it, so let's get into it, guys, we'll

221
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: start in the order in which they're played, will start

222
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: with the one pm games, And why don't we start

223
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC East, Gentleman, A game between the Dallas

224
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Washington Redskins. Uh. The two two teams coming

225
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: off different types of losses. In Week one, the Cowboys

226
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: played a very tight game with the Giants that they

227
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: kind of lets slip away a terrible clock management mistake

228
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: at the end by Terrence Williams, But there was no

229
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: given that they were gonna pull that game out anyway.

230
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: It was a very tight game, UH that went against

231
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The Redskins, on the other hand, are on

232
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: a short week after a really embarrassing loss I thought

233
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: almost at that level UH to the Steelers at home,

234
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: where Kirk Cousins did not look good. So I guess

235
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking This is a quarterback matchup for me.

236
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: I want to see if the Cowboys um with Dak

237
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: Prescott can actually score some points, get des Brian involved,

238
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: do some things, see if Ezekiel Ellie can get going.

239
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at their whole offense and then west

240
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: on the Redskins side of it, Kirk Cousins is he

241
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: going to be in that scary ugly zone that he

242
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: in Week one or is it just a bad game

243
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: that he had. What do you think? Well, I think

244
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: you can get right against the Dallas defense, which in

245
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: a in a matchup against the Giants offensive line that

246
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: everybody assumed would be a major week spot. Guys like

247
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: Marshall Newhouse, who has been the worst right tackle in

248
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: the NFL the past couple of years, were absolutely pitching

249
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: shutouts against Dallas's defensive line. So Kirk Cousins should have

250
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: plenty of time to find Jordan Reed de Sean Jackson,

251
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: who looks as explosive as ever, Pierre Garson, maybe even

252
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: Jock Stockson. I agree all the concerns about the Cowboys

253
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: defense going into this season. I think showed up against

254
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: the Giants. I know it's only twenty points, but you

255
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: looked around the field and you thought, where are the

256
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: plays coming from for this Cowboys defense? Where is the

257
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: pass rush? They got pushed around in the running game

258
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: against the Giants? As you mentioned, not a great offensive

259
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: line there, and I just thought like, is this Cowboys

260
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: team really set up to win with offense with Dak

261
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: Prescott as their order back? Like are they really going

262
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: to be ready to win some shootouts. So I think

263
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: that's the type of games they're gonna get into. Yeah.

264
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean their best defense right now is their offense.

265
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: The way they played in the first half, when they

266
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: controlled the clock for twenty two plus minutes, that's the

267
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: formula in Dallas until you get some of these suspended

268
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: players back. But they only had one play at a

269
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: seventy five that win for twenty plus yards, which goes

270
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: against a little bit what we saw in the preseason

271
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: where Prescott showed great chemistry with Dez Bryant. We all

272
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: know what happened there. I think a big part of

273
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: it is Dez Bryant is the best player on the field.

274
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: You gotta get him involved at Jason Witten seems to

275
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: be the security blanket for debt for Dak Prescott right now.

276
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: I like what I saw that Dak Prescott, but everyone

277
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: needs to back off about how good he looked. They

278
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: averaged five yards per attempt in the fourth quarter. He

279
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: went six for seventeen for sixty six yards. So they

280
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: had a disastrous fourth quarter, and the offense reminded me

281
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of what it looked like with Brandon Weedon,

282
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: which is a whole lot of six and seven yard passes,

283
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: fourteen throws to Jason Witten for sixty four yards. So

284
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: that is inefficient or that is not what Cowboys fans

285
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: want to year, because if you remember now, it seems

286
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: like forever ago, but three weeks ago, the Cowboys thought

287
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: they had the greatest of all luxuries, which was a

288
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: veteran star quarterback and then this young hot shot that

289
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: could take over at any time. Now we need to

290
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: see him actually play like a hot It's still his

291
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: first NFL game against I think a Giants defense that

292
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: a number of people probably thought all the Giants are

293
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: just gonna be last year's Giants and their defense is

294
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: much improved now again everyone now the thing is in Washington.

295
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: You know Breland and Josh Norman coming off a pretty

296
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: awful game as a defense. You know, Breland is still

297
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: a very good cornerback, and this is gonna be a

298
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: bigger test I think through the air than that than

299
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: for Dallas, and it was even last week. They need

300
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: to take the reins off of Dak Prescott against the

301
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: Redskins defensive line that got worse over the offseason, right,

302
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't like this Redskins defense either could be a

303
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: lot of points here. Let's move on, gentlemen, Let's move

304
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: to the a f C North A game at First

305
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: Energy Field, Mark, I thought it was Cleveland brown Stadium.

306
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: What happened with that? Well, you know you're you're the

307
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: one that likes to throw out the stadium naming quizzes. Thought, yeah,

308
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: it's been First Energy for a number of years. I

309
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: will acknowledge nothing has happened there to grab your attention, alright,

310
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: So anyway, it is the home opener for the Browns

311
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: and they face yes, the hated Ravens uh, a team

312
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: that comes in at one and oh after UH shutting

313
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: down Rex Ryan's bills UH in Week one in Baltimore.

314
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: So now we have a game uh for the Browns

315
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: where Josh McCown will be a quarterback. Do you think

316
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: Mark McCown will make this a better offense? I think

317
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: he does. I think that we've talked since the beginning

318
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: of training camp that you know, we had we suspected

319
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: the McCown was the better court all around quarterback than

320
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: r G three, and I think that he is. You know,

321
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: this is a different team than last year's Browns team.

322
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: But he threw for four hundred and fifty seven yards

323
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: against the Ravens last season earlier in the year and

324
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: had a productive game late in the year before he

325
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: got injured. McCown knows how to run an NFL offense

326
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: and he's shown that on multiple teams. For me, though,

327
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: I look at Baltimore and what they can do against

328
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland's defense. The Eagles controlled the ball for almost forty

329
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: yards forty minutes of the game last week, and that

330
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: was not a fluke. That is how things are gonna

331
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: play for this defense if the offense of Cleveland's offense

332
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: can't stay on the field. I think Baltimore has some

333
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: of the better weapons for Joe Flacco and he's had

334
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: in years going back to the Super Bowl year. Throughout

335
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: the offseason and and even in the preseason, we said

336
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: that the Ravens probably have a wide range of outcome

337
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 1: as any team in the league, and they have more

338
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: questions that need to be answered than any team. In

339
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: Week one, they answered almost all of those questions. They

340
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: had a pass us, They were in Tyrod Taylor's face

341
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: all game. They had a plan for Tyrod Taylor. You

342
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: would have thought Shariss right is the best tackling cornerback

343
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Insane game. Zach Or looks like an

344
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: upgrade on Darryl Smith at inside linebacker. Breshad Perriman and

345
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace are making plays down the field. Terrence West

346
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: got more than what was blocked in the backfield. Justin

347
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: Porcette looked good. And I think their offensive line, which

348
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: is starting two rookies on the left side, had a

349
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: pretty good game. I think the Ravens look like a

350
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: much better team than we expected. I agree, but I

351
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: want to see them against the real offense. Don't know

352
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: if that's really gonna happen. This week, they showed that

353
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: they can dominate a guy that they know about, Tyrod Taylor.

354
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: He didn't know where the pressure was coming from. They

355
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: just kept sending and sending. Thurrell Sucks didn't look good

356
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: in that game. Steve Smith didn't look good in that game.

357
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: So that's two key guys they want to come around

358
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: and look healthy coming off of uh there in Steve

359
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: Smith didn't look like a liar bill No, No, it's

360
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: really just running shorter routes than he usually admitted. Make

361
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: one nice catch that went out about and it's like

362
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: they're still figuring their team out. They're splitting their wide

363
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: receiver reps five ways pretty evenly. Chris Moore played a

364
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: lot in that game. They're splitting their running back reps.

365
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: They're splitting their tight end reps. It's like they're they're

366
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: just gonna find enough players as they go. I think

367
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: they're going to figure it out this week because you

368
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: know Wentz last week in his first NFL game, a

369
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: perfect passer rating on any pass that was ten plus

370
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: yards through the air, and you saw it. You saw

371
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: it on two touchdown passes and in play after play.

372
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: This is a good set up for Joe Fla. I

373
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: have I have a question for a guy who was

374
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: honking last week. A guy by the name of Gary

375
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: Barnege was I in this very studio after the game

376
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: about his life twice and maybe catch the ball. It's

377
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: his fault. We pointed that out rops for Gary. Everybody

378
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: raise your hand in this room. If you're perfect, raise

379
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: your hand. I thought, oh, we'll have a greg What

380
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: accent was that? Ever? What you don't understandished like we

381
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: got bonsh. The pressure I face did a lot of

382
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: pressure being Jagger arounds player on a team that's gonna

383
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: be on one PM for the rest of the time.

384
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: I never know where that accident is going to go.

385
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: That went, it went, Mick Jagger. There did anyone watch

386
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens and think I didn't realize how much I

387
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: missed Joe Flacco. It's good to see I didn't. That's

388
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: your own personal feelings making some throws. Moving on, the

389
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, one of the nominees as the team of

390
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: a t L very important game for them as they

391
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: now travel to Detroit. A disappointing Week one loss as

392
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: we know and we've talked about, and now they get

393
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: a Detroit team that looked positively frisky uh in their

394
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: season opening when Chris Westling a Detroit team that when

395
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: you look at what they've done, um under Jim Bob Cooter.

396
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: Then I'll tell you something, guys. I'll I like this

397
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: Cooter cos I like Cooter head coach candidate noted mab

398
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: If this keeps going, that coach Jim Bob Cooter, why not?

399
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if they keep going, if it was anyone else,

400
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: get some buzz. Let me finish my point. I like

401
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: this Cooter. But is Matthew Stafford finally coming into his

402
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: own and isn't that very bad news of the Titans

403
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: if he is big question this offense. Kurt Warner named

404
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford his top quarterback of wheat one on total

405
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: access and theoretic, and Amir Abdullah looked like the most

406
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: dynamic backfield tandem in the league against the Colts defense

407
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: that can't tackle. I think the question is if you

408
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: believe the Lions offense is better without Calvin Johnson, well

409
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: that show up against the Titans defense in which led

410
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: by Darrell Casey, dominated the line of scrimmage against the Vikings.

411
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: I think if you're excited about watching the Titans each week,

412
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: like you are Christopher West, absolutely you have to be

413
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: excited to see this matchup on the schedule in a

414
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: week two. Now. The Lions are probably excited to see

415
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee as well, But if you wanted a defense to

416
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: get right against after what was ultimately a melt down

417
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: in the second half for Tennessee last week, this is

418
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: the right matchup for Tennessee to do their things and

419
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: really control the line of scrimmage themselves. Yeah, I agree,

420
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: they gave up. I mean they could not stop the

421
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: Colts at at all in the second half of the game.

422
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: It's one thing to stop a thirty three year old

423
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: Frank Gore behind a run blocking offense like the Colts,

424
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 1: and it's another to stop you know, you can make

425
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: fun of exotic smash mouth, but I think you're gonna

426
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: see a lot more Derrick Henry in this game. DeMarco

427
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: Murray to me, looked every bit as good as he

428
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: did in two thousand fourteen. Last week. I think it's

429
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: fair to look at the Titans and say, you're both

430
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: your running backs to Marco Murray, Henry and Taj Sharp

431
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: a big part of your passing game, and your quarterback

432
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: have barely played together. It's going to take a little

433
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: bit of time for this to jail. Greg you pointed

434
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: out on Sunday night, and I think this was, you know,

435
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: watching the game closely. This was correct. When they got down,

436
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: the Titans had no way to climb out of that.

437
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just that when the mistakes started to happen,

438
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: they steamed to completely implode. You know, Mariota through a

439
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: third pick that was called back by penalty. Mental melt

440
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: that it really was. And I again, I'm not gonna

441
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: judge fully on the Titans on that. But but this

442
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: is a team that is going to need to come

443
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: from behind in certain games. Jeral Casey looked awesome, but

444
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: their defense is not a top five defense. You're not

445
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna win games by with keeping the lead the whole time. Yea,

446
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: the exactic stuff didn't work. The Vikings were ready for it,

447
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: and they're great athletic defense that maybe we're ready for it.

448
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: But every time they went to one of the crazy formations,

449
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: they were fun to watch, but a lot of times

450
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: they were drive killers. Even I thought it worked in

451
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: the I thought I thought they have caught up to

452
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: it quick. They have a third and one with a

453
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: fake you know, jump uh, you know into the line

454
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: by Mariota and he pitched it back and there's four

455
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: Vikings waiting there for for Derrick Henry. That kills the first.

456
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: The Vikings did a great job under Zimmer of adjusting

457
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: a halftime. They really did. From the avenue of common sense,

458
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: when you spend your off season talking about how you're exotic,

459
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: doesn't that give defenses tip them off that you're gonna

460
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: be doing some exotic things and defense he mentioned exotic

461
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: smash mouth is what the Steelers ran in two thousand one.

462
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: He didn't say the Titans are gonna be exotic smash mouth.

463
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: He said they're gonna be smash mouth. So why because

464
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: like everything got up and they followed up with him.

465
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: He's explained it a lot of times. I mean he's

466
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: explained it well. And he said, I was talking about

467
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: the Steelers, not the Titans. So the Titans don't run

468
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: an exotic smash mounth. No, they run a smash mouth.

469
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: But you can call it exotic if you think that

470
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: all these trick plays are what makes it exactly there.

471
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of format, not a lot, but a

472
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: lot of formations with Derrick Henry and Marco marian the

473
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: field at the same time, once with MARKA Mariota not

474
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: even on the field. I mean they were essentially what

475
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: they are almost over and over was six seven guys

476
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: up at the line. One thing to watch in this game.

477
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: The Titans have made it clear they want Delaney Walker

478
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: a lot more involved than he was last week, and

479
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: the Lions struggled a little bit with Dwayne Allen and

480
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle I believe scored two touchdown. He was getting

481
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: doubled last week. How many people put in a lot

482
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: of money in auction leagues for Jack Doyle. Will it

483
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: pay off? We don't know, probably not. History tells me

484
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: the Jack Doyle types usually burn you on your I

485
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: hope no one put on any money. That's a rookie move. Alright,

486
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: Moving on, this will be our first game of the

487
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: week between two undefeated teams. The Kansas City Chiefs off

488
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: a thrilling comeback, by the way, not just any comeback.

489
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: That was the greatest comeback in the history of the

490
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, coming down down three scores to beat

491
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers, ripped the Charger's hearts out. Uh. And now

492
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: they travel to Houston to face the Texans, who, um,

493
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, almost as if they're they want to will

494
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: me to some sandwiches. They turned Lamar Miller into a

495
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: workhorse that he's never been and he mostly responded and

496
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: the offense looked, okay, Greg. Now they get the Chiefs

497
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: in their building, are they gonna get to know you think?

498
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: I do think that they'll win this game, and I

499
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: do wonder how tough a matchup this is. We think

500
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs defense, we think they're great. They did

501
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: not play great in week one overall, I would say,

502
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: and they are missing some of their best players, so

503
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: I want to see. It's a team that's respond But

504
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch it because the Texans, more than

505
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 1: any team, are more fun to watch this year than

506
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: they were a year ago. Talk about your team of

507
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: atl sleepers right here. They've got Lamar Miller for dam,

508
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: They've got Will Fuller for Mark, They've got Devi and

509
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: Clowney And it was like Bill O'Brien, it was a

510
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: strong week for Jdevan Clowney nation. I mean, he was

511
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: looking good last week, and they're aggressive. I want to

512
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: see what Oswilder does when he's so aggressive against a

513
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: better defense, because I think the Bears ultimately have a question.

514
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: How did J. J. Watt look when you guys look

515
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: to take it? Didn't look like a non factor. I

516
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: think he needs another week he I mean, which is

517
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: never the case, right, He's not himself. Clearly he's never

518
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: come off this many surgeries in the off season too.

519
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's well. The fact that he was

520
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: out there at all was pretty remarking. It's something to watch.

521
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: Is this gonna last a month? Is it gonna last?

522
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: No more? Time at all. Is it gonna last half season?

523
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: But he's still going to cause you know, offenses to

524
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to him and think about him.

525
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: So that's an asset with J J. Wat way less

526
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: than peak form. The Texans were in J Cutler's mug

527
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: the entire second half. A little pop quiz who is

528
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: the defensive player of the week in the a f

529
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: C this week? Whitney Merciless, Whitney Mercills. And when you

530
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: have guys like Whitney Merciless and Bernard Rick McKenney showing

531
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: up as your two best defensive players, then suddenly start thinking, Man,

532
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: this Texans defense is deep in a in a major upset.

533
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: When I went to watch game pass, the Texans were

534
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: the most fun team to watch. Wow. They left a

535
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: lot of yards and points on the field in this game.

536
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: This should have been a blowout. Will full Or missed

537
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: to pass over the middle. That was a perfect throw

538
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: from brock Oswilder. DeAndre Hopkins dropped a touchdown in tight coverage.

539
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: This could have been a thirty five to fourteen game

540
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: or something. I think that's another example of you're talking

541
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: about a quarterback and receivers that have never been in

542
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: a real game together. It's gonna take time. Will Fuller,

543
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna give you those drops. We knew that about him,

544
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: but he made up for it too. I think he

545
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: is a fascinating player. And you want to talk about

546
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: one game from last year where you take the game

547
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: tape and just burn it and throw it out a window.

548
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: It's the wild Card game. This is a completely different

549
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: operation and the Chiefs are gonna have a lot more

550
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: to deal with. You know, you're not gonna Brian Hoyer

551
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: throwing to you know, New Copkins and nobody else. This

552
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 1: is a much more interesting offense, starting with weapons. Come

553
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: around a little bit on Brock Coswilder I am. I

554
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: want to see him against other other teams. I think

555
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: if you own DeAndre Hopkins or Fuller, you gotta like

556
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: that he's not afraid to just let them make him

557
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: play like they can be covered. And he throws it

558
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: to him, which is a really good sign. He's gonna

559
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: try to make throws in tight windows. He does have

560
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: a long delivery which could come back to haunt him.

561
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: But I think if you're a Texans fan, you have

562
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: to love what you saw to us and and everything

563
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: we said about Alex Smith and the Chiefs offense. Took

564
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: them some time to get going, but the ultimate the

565
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: reality as they made the biggest comeback in team history.

566
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: So all the good things we thought about the Chiefs

567
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: offense in Spencer where they came through, this is a

568
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: much much tougher test for the Texans. When did they

569
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: trade Jamal Charles? I'm not kidding because it's like you

570
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: could get a lot for Jamal Charles and your offense

571
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: statistically has been much better without him. Well, I would

572
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: be a little if we were honestly talking about a trade.

573
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: I'd be a little bit nervous. Why he's not playing

574
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: right now coming off a second knee injury and he's

575
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: almost thirty years old. The other team would have to

576
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: probably be you know, snowed under with some you know,

577
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: pills and alcohol up. Uh, Let's see if the Chiefs

578
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: pass rush shows up this week they didn't show up

579
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: last week. I'm now making an eternal list of the

580
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: gms and owners to be most likely to be under

581
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: with a listen. I wouldn't verbalize I thought of one immediately,

582
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: but I'm just gonna keep it to myself. Very smart.

583
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Let's move on gentlemen and talk about um, hey, let's

584
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: head to the throne as Slee's, let's just do it.

585
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: Where the New England Patriots are in their home opener, uh,

586
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: they the friendly confines of the Mall in New England, um,

587
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: where they meet the Miami Dolphins coming off Let's face

588
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: it a crushing week one lost, because it's one thing

589
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: to get beat by a team that's better than you,

590
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks are better than you. But when you

591
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: have a chance to steal a game on the road

592
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: like that and you let it get away, and then

593
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: on top of you gotta get on a plane and

594
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: fly back to your headquarters and then trained to go

595
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: up to the mall uh in Foxboro. And it's just like,

596
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: now you're kicking yourself because there's a good chance this game.

597
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: You're oh and two greg after this, and you should

598
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: should at least have one win? Is that too pessimistic

599
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: about the doll? You should? I mean you've you've declared

600
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: your vengeance against the Patriots. I found it interesting that

601
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: you requested to watch this game even though you said

602
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: you don't want them to be involved. That's called scouting

603
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: the enemy. I have declared vengeance against the England Patriots.

604
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 1: You're still intrigued. I ain't afraid of you, big brother. Well,

605
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: you know who shouldn't be afraid of them? The Miami

606
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense. This team has split with the Patriots three

607
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: streight years. No team, it's mystical, but no team gives

608
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick more problems than the Dolphins. Other than Denver,

609
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: I guess would be the one other team, and this defense,

610
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: if you want to spin a positive for Miami, had great,

611
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: great signs in Week one. Cameron Wake came back and

612
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: looked like Cameron Wake as a situational pass dressler. Kiko

613
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 1: Alonso looked like his two thousand and fourteen self. Uh.

614
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: They signed abdual Caduce as their safety, and Rashad Jones

615
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: and Abdul Caduce were easily the best safety combination in

616
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: that game. They were better than Earl Thomas and Camp Chancellor.

617
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: So their defense on on paper and on the field

618
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: last week looks like it could go from about twenty

619
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: five in the league to a top ten type of group.

620
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: That's why you Adam, That's why you hire Adam Gaze,

621
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: so that your defense shoots and advanced. Joseph who the

622
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: Broncos and Gary Ubiack wanted to hire away from the

623
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: Bengals last year and the Bengals wouldn't let him go.

624
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins got him this year, and Kiko Alonso was a revelation.

625
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: Right that makes their defense different because you think of

626
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: him as a weakness last year and now if he's

627
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: a strength, that what's a pretty pretty bad line group.

628
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Then suddenly that trade everyone killed all the mikey t

629
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: for mikey T's feeling pretty good all his They killed

630
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: it because Alonso had he was not healthy and he

631
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: had not shown anything to do with the way he

632
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: was as a rookie and Buffalo if he can be

633
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: that kind of a player, it is not just a

634
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: good trade, it's a great trade. I think Jimmy Garoppolo

635
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: is going to struggle more this week. I think it's

636
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a closer, tough game, that's gonna be a

637
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: one score game in the fourth quarter. I think this

638
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: sort of Patriots team is built to try to win

639
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: these close games, kind of like they used toge Today.

640
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: By the way, is September the first day, oddly because

641
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: it starts in the middle of the month. Latino Heritage Month.

642
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: Picture of Kiko Alonso on our huddle Cafe. A hero

643
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: to the community. It's the odds of September, Dan of

644
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: perfect time for your game of throne style attack on

645
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: the throne of sleeves. Very good, very good. Other thoughts

646
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: about this game, gentlemen, um, Jimmy Garoppolo? Who? How good

647
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: was Jimmy Garoppolo really? In week one? Was he legitimately woe?

648
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 1: This guy? Is the answer? Good? Or do you need

649
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: to see more from him? He's better than I expected,

650
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: and I think he controlled that short passing game well.

651
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: I still think just some question on how he deals

652
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: with pressure. When he had time to throw, he was money.

653
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not forget that Rob Gronkowski was not

654
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: in the lineup, and that would change everything for this offense.

655
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you put Jimmy G into

656
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: another team, Jimmy G calling him, yeah, well, that type

657
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: of iconic athlete's who he is. It's not a fun

658
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: name to say. It's it's it's winding. It's a bit

659
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: tedious on the mouth. So you say, Jimmy G. That's

660
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: where I'm going with that. But I mean, honestly, like

661
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: I I if he were in another team starting where

662
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: he was. I don't think he would have gotten that

663
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: kind of to start in New England. They do this

664
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: over and over. It doesn't matter what position, group and

665
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: what's happening in New England, who's injured, they seem to perform.

666
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna see Gronk. By the way,

667
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: the Providence Journal reported today Thursday that he did not

668
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: look close to on the practice field. Uh. And you

669
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: get the feeling especially, and that's why again, why it

670
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: was so bummed out that they stole that week one win.

671
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: That they have a little like it has some room

672
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: to play with here now even if they lost this game,

673
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: and if you give if that means Gronk, it's another

674
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: week to get healthy. I gotta feel and they might play.

675
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Patriots are careful with their players. They don't let players

676
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: go back a week early in general that they're gonna

677
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: keep them out in an extra week. And the reason

678
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: they should feel that they can still win this game

679
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: is the Dolphins offense, for all the excitement that Adam

680
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: Gates brought, look look like it did last year. It

681
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: looked like a team where Ryan Tannehill is not gonna elevate.

682
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: What's what's around him? And the Patriots have a defensive

683
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: star and Chris Long all over the front seven. He

684
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: played some inside linebacker, some outside linebacker, some defensive tackle,

685
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: some defensive end. I had him with two sacks. I

686
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: think you only have one. Officially, he looked like, outside

687
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: of Jamie Collins, their best defensive player. What's going on

688
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: with their other star? Barkivas Mingo special teams Mark was thrilled.

689
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: I was not thrilled. I am just tired of the

690
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: hot take machine. There's a lot of sweat on your

691
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: upper breads. Well, you came out the vapor. You came

692
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: to me on Monday confirming what happened to Mingo because

693
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: he didn't play at all. Special didn't get a snap

694
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: on defense and bully to Chris Long and the Patriots

695
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: on their great acquisition. Let's move on the New Orleans Saints,

696
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: oh and one tough loss in Week one. Now they

697
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: travel to the Meadowlands to face the New York Giants,

698
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: who are one to know after win over Big D,

699
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: and here is we're just talking about him. Maybe the

700
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: Giants aren't such a pushover on D. Maybe the free

701
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: agency makeover has made a difference at least in Week

702
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: one it looked good, but again you're facing uh rookie

703
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: quarterback with how to have jitters, and the Dallas offense

704
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: wasn't quite right. But now you get a New Orleans

705
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: offense that look great in Week one. So this will

706
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: be a real testamy on how much the Giants have

707
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: improved on the defensive side of the ball. Chris Wesley.

708
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: I think it should be. Yeah. I think they looked

709
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: fantastic in Week one, a lot better than I expected.

710
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: The defensive line, Olivier Vernon and Snacks Harrison Jason Pierrepol.

711
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: I think Pro Football Focus had Pierre Poul and Olivier

712
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: Vernon with five hurries apiece, which is a pretty big

713
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: game for any tackles. For JPP, he had a few.

714
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the big club. He's like, I mean,

715
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: Snacks made a difference. When you're when you're winning your

716
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: Sharah battles against the Cowboys offensive line, you're doing something right. Snacks.

717
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: It's a painful Loosopher the Jets, I think really, because

718
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: my defensive line really floundered without him in Week one.

719
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: Next point, every team that plays the Saints until they

720
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: prove otherwise is going to be hoisted up as the

721
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: offensive fantasy, you know, Hodge Podge for the week. Just

722
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: take anyone on this team. And honestly, after what we

723
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: saw against Dallas, even New York's ground game, which I

724
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: thought was pretty good down the stretch against the Cowboys late,

725
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: they kind of hammered that game and ended it. What

726
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: can you not do against the Saints at this point,

727
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: they're starting three corners or p J. Williams, Davante Harris,

728
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: Ken Crawley. Well, the the scary part is that they're

729
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: signing guys off the street that might be put right

730
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: into the lineup. I mean, Bleedy Ray Wilson might be

731
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: playing for this team. What other what other replacements of

732
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: a cornerback did they start? Did they signed this week?

733
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: I forget that. Never trust a man named Bleedy, Definitely.

734
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: That's a life model right there, Dad? Have you can

735
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: I call a time out here? Have you seen this

736
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: notebook from Mark over here? Can you hold it up

737
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: for the camera? Mark? A little bit of note. I

738
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: don't know where the cameras over This was my Tennessee Titans.

739
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: What they are doing on offense? Before? What are those

740
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: what are those that called that's called a football diagram.

741
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: What are you doing with that? Yeah, I had Wednesday

742
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: off I spent some time doing a little as offense

743
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: I think is a fascinating offense in the first half,

744
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: and we've already discussed that team. I immediately what are

745
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: they going on? Oud? Well, we have been given three

746
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: minutes to discuss the Saints and Giants, so I will

747
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: take that for another time. Maybe they'll allow me on

748
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: NFL Now to do that for two minutes. Probably not

749
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: NFL Now, maybe NFL Network never definitely not. Um, we're

750
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: all impressed. All right, it wasn't going for that, but

751
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: thank you. Uh. Josh Norman, by the way, got called

752
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: out now that Victor Cruz caught a ball. Uh he's

753
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: able to talk. I guess he made a point to

754
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: say that, Josh Norman, if you're uh such a high

755
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: paid stud, why aren't you covering the number one? After

756
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: he didn't cover Antonio Brown? Will we see Josh Norman?

757
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: Uh against Well, no, we're not this game. That wouldn't

758
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: make any sense. But will we know where I'm going

759
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: with this? Will we see? Will Victor Cruz continue to

760
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: yet the most two most tedious players in the NFL.

761
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz, who hasn't done days, Josh Norman, who's in

762
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: the middle of every tedious discussion in the NFL, talking

763
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: about the most tedious topic in the NFL. Will a

764
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: cornerback travel with number one receivers? Give me a break,

765
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 1: By the way, I got set up by the news cycle,

766
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: because why are we talking about Victor Cruz ripping Josh

767
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: Norman when when the Redskins are coming to town? What

768
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: are we even doing? Society? It doesn't matter. That was

769
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: a high wattage set up, the news industry, set up

770
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: taking things that don't matter. Bleedi Ray Wilson didn't even

771
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: sign with It was b W Webb and Sterling more.

772
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: This is a disaster, this this Saints. Well, it's something

773
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: nice about the Saints and save this segment. Victor Cruz

774
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: come back to us. Willie Sneed? Who does Willie Sneed

775
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: remind you, guys? Have? I don't know who Willie Sneed

776
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: reminds me of. He's a unique player. He reminds me

777
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: of the really Sneed that got cut by the Browns

778
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: two preseasons. This could be the best Saints offense since

779
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: at least two thousand and eleven. And they're gonna have

780
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: to score since Darren Sprowls and Jimmy Graham were. I

781
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: think there's no doubt it's better than it's it's it's

782
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: going to be better than it's been. It's gonna need

783
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: to because it could be the worst defense in the league.

784
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: Big test for both teams, a litmus test, even test

785
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: test test. Moving on, Sorry Saints and Giants, Sorry Bleedy

786
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: Ray two more are apologies to all those fans. We

787
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: did our best that didn't work out. The Cincinnati Bengals

788
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: now one to oh after a great win over the

789
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: Jets in which they were outplayed for most of the

790
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: game but made the plays they needed to make and

791
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: they stole win at the Meadow Ends, and now they

792
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: head to Hines Field. Here's one of the best games

793
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: of the week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who looked great

794
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: in UH in Week one, almost great enough to be

795
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: a team of a TL nominee. They didn't get nominated,

796
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: but they are still exciting to watch. Mark. I'm gonna

797
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 1: set you up right now, what are your thoughts about

798
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis. Well, Marvin Lewis is an idiot, all right.

799
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: That was many years ago that I said that I'm

800
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: not sure what the context was. Uh he may have

801
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: been at the time, I don't think he is now.

802
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: I think that the Bengals, uh, you know the kind

803
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: of game they won last week. Watching that game, they

804
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: just got man handled and the old Andy Dalton by

805
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: the third quarter years ago would have just been an

806
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: interception throwing disaster. I think he showed incredible poise as

807
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback and the Bengals when you when you win

808
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: games like that, when you're not the better team, but

809
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: you find a way to get out there with a

810
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: w Sorry to say the stand, but that to me

811
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: shows that it's a it's a write of passage for

812
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: a team like the Bengals in the regular season. I'm

813
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: not I know, Chris, They're not a January ship of heroes,

814
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: but they seem to do this now. Year after year

815
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: they win these regular season games. Pittsburgh has always been

816
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: the team they cannot go on the road and beat,

817
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: and I don't know who can beat Pittsburgh right now.

818
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: I want to see some team show me that it

819
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: can slow down what we just saw on Monday night

820
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: that was insanity, untapped entirely. Antonio Brown, to me, looks

821
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: completely unstoppable and it doesn't even matter right now. If

822
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: Levi on Bell is in there, the Bengals might be

823
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: that team. Their secondary is always a little underrated, and

824
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: they have held and they held Antonio Brown sixty yards

825
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: below his average and three matchups last year. That's pretty

826
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: impressive when you can do that with they They've got

827
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: a couple of guys stripped out of their secondary, but

828
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: they keeping guys. Hasn't been in the news this much

829
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: since Uh the Old jumped out of the pool incidents.

830
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: Everyone that he was the one that said he saved

831
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: the drowning cousin Right now, that was Bleedy Ray Wilson

832
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: was Victor Cruz. I you you hit a great point

833
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: mark about Dalton and in the way this Bengals team

834
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: is now in terms of like just being a veteran

835
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: team that knows how to win, they also know how

836
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: to change their scheme and their game plan depending on

837
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: the week, which you only do if you have some continuity.

838
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: I know they have a new off fensive coordinator this year,

839
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: but it's ultimately the same system with with Ken's MPs.

840
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: They even had some of the crazy Hue formations when

841
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: you can just drop C J. Uzama into your uh

842
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 1: starting lineup as your tight end. Who is your third

843
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: string tight end? And he's making plays for you. He's

844
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: blocking well. I thought he looked good. He looked really good.

845
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: One big open. You know, you throw Brandon LaFell in

846
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: kind of a Patriots type move. I'll just let's just

847
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: drop him in the offense. Okay, he's gonna get ninety yards.

848
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: It's like that. That's a sign of a good Lafel

849
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: is a tough player. One thing that happened with Revis

850
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: last week watching that game was that a couple of

851
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: the bubble screens to a J. Green, LaFell got right

852
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: in Revis His face and tied him up. And that's

853
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: set Green free. I mean that they're gonna do that

854
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: to to lesser cornerbacks without a problem. This is a game.

855
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: We don't do it for every game, but I would

856
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: love to know the picks for this game. So let's

857
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: go around the room right here, and well that's what

858
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: we're doing. Okay, yeah, I'm just thinking out loud. That's

859
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: what this show is. Dan is petting me right now.

860
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: I can we cannot get enough Dan petting his former

861
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: boss Mark. Who's your pick? Bengals Pittsburgh Steelers at Hinesfield.

862
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: Let me prerempt it real fast. I picked the Bengals,

863
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: is my team of a t L, but not because

864
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna go fourteen and two. I think they're an

865
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: interesting ten and six type team. They want to know

866
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose this game. This is Pittsburgh, Okay West.

867
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: This is now the NFL's most intense rivalry. It reminds

868
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: me a little bit of the Jim Harbor forty nine

869
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: against the Pete Carroll Seahawks. Physical physical football. Steelers have

870
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: always been better at physical football than the Bengals, going

871
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: back to the creation of the Bengals. Wow, that's the Bengals,

872
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean the Steelers. I'm gonna make it three in

873
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: a row. I think the I liked Cincinnati's gumption last week,

874
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't say they played a perfect game. And

875
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: I think Pittsburgh looks so good in Week one. Who

876
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 1: am I to pick against them in their home opener?

877
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: So even though Cincinnati is a team of a t

878
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: L nominee, that is three picks for the Steelers. Greg, Yes,

879
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: I'd take the Steeler. I would take whichever team was

880
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, it kind of type of rivalry. That's

881
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: what they say. Nor business is all about. Shout out

882
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: to Hard Knocks star Marcus Hunt four years in and

883
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: now he's finally getting some run playing starters. Finally it's blocked.

884
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 1: Extra point. Was the difference in the game, Yes, bigger man.

885
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: I think he's six seven or sixty eight. Uh, moving

886
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: on block right, the eastern block. Yeah, he was a

887
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: nom Estonia Hard Knocks m VP candidate once upon a time.

888
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: Moving on to the NFC West, this is the final

889
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: one PM Gentleman game. San Francisco forty Niners off a

890
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: dominant well I would it called dominant, but the final

891
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: score was that was dominant. Nothings dominated its dominant probably

892
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: their best moment of the year. So give it to probably.

893
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying because there were stretches where they were

894
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: putrid as well, the third quarter specifically, But anyway, good job. Guys.

895
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: Want to know Chip Kelly flying high and now they

896
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: got to go to Carolina And I'll tell you what, guys. Uh,

897
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: this is a game that I have to say is

898
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy for San Francisco. It feels like

899
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: a buzz saw situation, so much so that I'm going

900
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: to name it my lock of the week. Gentlemen, lock

901
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: it up. Why did you change your lock of the week.

902
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: I think I just put the arrow on the wrong spot.

903
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: I think that Carolina is not going to fall to

904
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: own two, especially against the Niners. That is a tearing prediction.

905
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: If nothing else, well, you just gotta sometimes, you just

906
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: gotta lock it up. They they are the biggest favorites

907
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: this week by far, which which makes sense. I'm curious

908
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: to see this forty Niners defense in a in a

909
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: game where maybe they just don't have the game plan

910
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: figured out, because, if nothing else, they were flying around

911
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: and they played a lot of people. I mean, they

912
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: had an idea that they're gonna play sixteen seventeen guys

913
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: plus snaps, rotating everyone in and out Armstead and Buckner.

914
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: At least, at least it's something to watch. I want

915
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: to see how they do against Well, this time, you've

916
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: got Kelvin Benjamin to deal with, You've got Devin Funches

917
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: to deal with, and not a team that says we're

918
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: gonna essentially run the ball, and that's the only play

919
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: we have in our one play playbook. Those Twins Skyscrapers,

920
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead and and Devorce Buckner were impressive. But you're

921
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 1: going from the worst quarterback in the NFL in case Keenum,

922
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: to the m v P, the reigning m v P

923
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: and the best offense in the NFL points wise thirty

924
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: one points per game last year at home, licking their

925
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: wounds a little bit from the season opening loss which

926
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: they could have won. I think the forty Niners are

927
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: in for a world or hurt and that's why the

928
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: Panthers are my lock of the week. Yeah, bra, yeah, Bro,

929
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: you guys ain't got it. Well, what a celebration you

930
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: two are now ensconced on together, certainly ensconced in celebration.

931
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: Cam Newton versus Gabbert lack of the week. They can

932
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: Cam Newton that what a lock is? I guess so?

933
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: I thought so, I don't know. I thought we need

934
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 1: to pick games that there could be some similar approach

935
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: and we'll probably suffer for Cam Newton in that. In

936
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: that Broncos game, too, was even better I think than

937
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: I could have imagined when I when I I thought

938
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: he he almost overcame a great defensive effort by Denver

939
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: all by himself. So even if I could see the

940
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: forty Niners defense giving them a little trouble, but it's

941
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: not gonna matter because Blaine Gabbert's not gonna score any points.

942
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: Poor Greg Olsen and Trey Turner and Kevin Benjamin are like,

943
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: what do you mean all by himself? Yeah, I The

944
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: problem with for me with the forty Niners starts here.

945
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: Blayne Gabbert was still making the same mistakes in Week

946
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: one that he was all preseason. Just as you said, Dan,

947
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: there stretches of play that were absolutely horrible. So last

948
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: week is an absolute mirage. This is gonna be a

949
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: huge test. It's interesting because Chip Kelly, let's see what

950
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: he can do. I'm not taking I'm not taking that

951
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: back West. Every every offense in the league is built on, well,

952
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: you can't expose your quarterback to too many hits. Their

953
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: offense is built on exposing him to hit. Everything that

954
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: they do I think is around him more even than

955
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: any quarterback in the league. You better take advantage of

956
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: him now because I know he's a beast and powerful

957
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: and all that. But if that's your offense exposed, it

958
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 1: will catch up. People say college offenses won't won't work

959
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. The Panthers are a college offense, so

960
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: it's it's worked so far. Let's move on, guys. The

961
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one and oh Jamis Winston four touchdowns,

962
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: uh in the first game of the season, getting greg

963
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: all hyped up like forty seven sandwiches on the man.

964
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: So you need that type of performance. And now they

965
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: hit the road. They have a tough task ahead of

966
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: them as well, because they go to Arizona to face

967
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: a Cardinals team that is kicking themselves. Uh from a

968
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: Sunday night loss where they they somehow were able to

969
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: duck both Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski and then the

970
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: kicker goes and blows the game. Uh, in a game

971
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: really they shouldn't have. Should never have been that close anyway,

972
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: with the amount of tools that the Patriots are missing.

973
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: So now you gotta expect west. This is gonna be

974
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: a pissed Cardinals team that's gonna blow the doors off

975
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: the bus. Right. I don't know about that. Let's see

976
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: who the Cardinals are, because they weren't themselves in Week one.

977
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: I want to I think what's intriguing about this matchup

978
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: is the backfields. If you read my top ten uh

979
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: pass catching backs article this week, Hammer Drop, Hammer Drop.

980
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: You'll know that Doug Martin and Charles Simms were easily

981
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: the best backfield tandem in the NFL last year, and

982
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: they looked good again in the opener. Charles Sims one

983
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: of the most underappreciated passing backs in the game. Doug

984
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: Martin ran better than his numbers. Showed who's got the

985
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: better backfield because David Johnson was the most one of

986
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: the most impressive players in the NFL this year, and

987
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: I feel about him the way Jim Schwartz does when

988
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: he watches Jovid best highlights. Put a sock on the

989
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: David Best crack. I love it. Charles Simms last week

990
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: had one of the best catch and run for a

991
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: touchdown that I've seen in a long time. He is

992
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: just run into each other with one move. You guys,

993
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: You guys, Mark and West were in on Sim's corner

994
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: early and I think he's even better now in terms

995
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: of he's a little tougher. Both of these guys the tackles.

996
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: Both of these guys can can break tackles. And I

997
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: agree that the Cardinals weren't themselves last week. And here's why.

998
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: Honey Badger was not himself and the defense was not aggressive.

999
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: They were I don't know if they were afraid of

1000
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: exposing Tyvon Branch who's playing cornerback and Brandon Williams in

1001
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: in single coverage because they did not really go after Garoppolo.

1002
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 1: Remember I was all worried they're gonna get crazy, They're

1003
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna do all these Cardinal things. They kind of sat

1004
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: back there and let Garoppolo, you know, go to who's open.

1005
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 1: And that's not the Cardinals defense that were used to seeing.

1006
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: It would be interesting to see how quickly Thorold Simon

1007
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: starts playing. They claimed him off waivers from the Seahawks,

1008
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: and Richard Sherman's on record is saying several times, this

1009
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,479
Speaker 1: guy's gonna end up better than me at some point.

1010
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. Brandon Williams was a liability justin Bethel

1011
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: hasn't been ready to play. You might have to throw

1012
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: Tharold Simon right into the starting line. And and the

1013
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 1: Bucks offense, I think is getting to the point where

1014
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 1: they can spread you out that they have enough depth.

1015
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: Austin s Harrin Jenkins made two key plays last week.

1016
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: Cameron brad They like going to him, especially in the

1017
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: two minutes Joe Adam Humphries might be turned into that

1018
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: slot receiver that I don't think he played. He played

1019
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: fine for a third receiver. So now now you kind

1020
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: of have enough people where you can where you can

1021
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: do that and let you are you concerned? Did you

1022
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: see this when they were playing in Atlanta? And I

1023
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: understand I never hear this, but apparently it's loud in

1024
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: that dome that it seemed like the Bucks offense was

1025
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: a little discombobulated early on. There was a play where

1026
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: there's illegal illegal formations. There's like they almost ran out

1027
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: the clock three times. Winston is not on the same

1028
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 1: page with Vincent Jackson on one play really costs turnover.

1029
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna get ironed out. But they when

1030
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: they do things well, I see what you see. They're

1031
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: fascinating offense, but they're still growing. Yeah, they're gonna be

1032
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: fun to watch. They're gonna make mistake. I think the

1033
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: Falcons were really determined that the Bucks don't go deep

1034
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: early and Winston to me, showed me something that he

1035
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: realized that and started taking the short passes before before

1036
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: it got loosened up. I thought Doug Martin two looked

1037
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: for stretches like himself from last year. Wasn't the stat

1038
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: line you'd think this scores? This gonna be a one

1039
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: score game at the end. I think the Bucks, you

1040
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: know you are all in. Man, We're not going to

1041
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: get your lock of the week off of this. Though

1042
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: in the road univer I wouldn't an awfully hard watch.

1043
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: If if the Cardinals do get back on track here,

1044
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: they're in good position as they for the next few

1045
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: weeks because after the Bucks game at Buffalo, which no,

1046
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: nobody's in love with the Bills, uh, home to the

1047
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 1: Rams at forty niners, so they should be in good

1048
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: Then it tightens up a little bit home to the Jets,

1049
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: but a home game, and then you have a back

1050
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: to back home to Seahawks at Panthers into your bye week.

1051
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: So do you even gather for practice for those three weeks?

1052
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: Do you just say, guys, let's let's get healthy. If

1053
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: the Bucks went and beat last year's team of around

1054
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: the league round the NFL in Arizona, would you at

1055
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: least have an open mind enough to consider them Wes,

1056
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: you said that there was a hard No. I I

1057
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: have proposed a deal to Dan Hans's don't drag me

1058
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: into this. Well, you act like the uniforms are no

1059
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: big deal because you don't really watch the games. But

1060
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: if you start watching the games every week, if you

1061
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 1: if you watch the Bucks every week, do you know

1062
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: how crazy you sound? By the way you sound like

1063
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: a crazy person. You're telling me that because I'm not

1064
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: watching the games, I am not seeing their uniforms. And

1065
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: that's why that I would I do not see what

1066
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: you see about. We can't support this team. That's crazy.

1067
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: Talk of a t L means a different thing to

1068
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: you than it means to me. To me, it's all

1069
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: about watching the game and watch that's the part that

1070
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna watch it. I think their offense

1071
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: is fun. If that happened, much bigger takeaway would be

1072
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 1: what is happening to the Cardinals? Yeah that's true. Let's well,

1073
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: did did you answer that question? Is it still? Is

1074
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: it a hard? Are the Bucks out? There's a sliver

1075
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: of opening? Okay, hey you're that core. That's called I

1076
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: can ask for. I'll take it. I have a chance.

1077
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: Let's move on. The Seattle Seahawks at one and oh

1078
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: an underwhelming win over the Dolphins in week one. Uh.

1079
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: Now they travel down the coast to face an l A.

1080
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: Rams team that embarrassed itself, embarrassed, the entire organization, embarrassed

1081
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: the city of l A sport of football, sport of football.

1082
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: Humans were embarrassed by that game. At twenty eight, nothing lost.

1083
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: But Mark, as we look ahead to this game, isn't this,

1084
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: as we're saying on our last show, kind of the

1085
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher way, that they would all of a sudden

1086
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: play an inspired game against the Seahawks. They always seem

1087
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: to play the Seahawks tough, they do. I think that

1088
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: narrative is going to come to a crashing halt. Uh

1089
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong, that's on me. But this feels

1090
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: to me like the recipe for baking a disaster cake.

1091
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: Let me read this big disaster cake. Let me read

1092
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: all Mark's eating, by the way, let me read that

1093
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: only does master cake diet. No, I'm still in my

1094
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: rough foods diet. To Cleveland Winds, that sounds like a

1095
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: disaster cake. I did see you um drinking some green

1096
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 1: sludge earlier today, so it is you are keeping up

1097
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: the diet for sure. Feel great? Let me have it

1098
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: always been like this? Let me. Let me read something

1099
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: of you. Seahawks have not allowed a hundred yard rusher

1100
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,439
Speaker 1: since week eleven. Okay, that's basically the l a rams

1101
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: entire chance right there. The Rams average the fewest yards

1102
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: per game, while the Seahawks allow the fewest passing yards allowed.

1103
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: So if you put it all together, this is a

1104
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: big giant robot landing in Los Angeles from Seattle. That's

1105
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: just gonna destroy that. They lost twenty eight nothing to

1106
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: the Niners. What is going to happen here? In our

1107
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: pre production meeting today, I guess you could call it that.

1108
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: We met in a conference room for like six minutes

1109
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 1: production meeting. Mark referred to the Rams as a blooming

1110
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: bag of so well, all right, I would like this

1111
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: is my my city. I would like to see them

1112
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:59,439
Speaker 1: do well. But it was it was a very uninspiring.

1113
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: Look at a Rick Dickerson, who should be the guy

1114
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: who's providing all this hope in this connection of the past,

1115
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: called the game an embarrassment, and that's what it was.

1116
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: It's on the Rams to come out and produce something different.

1117
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 1: It was embarrassing. Eric Diggerson is a Monday Night football

1118
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: sideline correspondent. You have strong feelings on this, but it's

1119
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: got hot. Take television analysis from like fourteen years ago.

1120
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: Is there the worst sideline analysis historically battling? There are

1121
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: some reasons to believe the Rams defense could give the

1122
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense some fits. Both Seahawks guards were an abomination

1123
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 1: in Week one. They got pushed around. Russell Wilson isn't

1124
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: the same quarterback when he can't use his feet, and

1125
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: he couldn't use his feet from the third quarter on

1126
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: last week. Although they were in in fairness to the Dolphins,

1127
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean they were worse even before he got The

1128
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense had troubles, big time troubles ever before he

1129
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: got hurt. So I'm saying the Rams defense could give

1130
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: the Seahawks offense and fits. My thing would be, though,

1131
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: I listen, the Rams did did nice work to Seahawks

1132
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: last year, and they've done it and before that well

1133
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: under Jeff Fisher. So it's things are. Things are in place,

1134
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: but you have Case Keeno at your cornerback at quarterback

1135
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: and you need to score points to beat the Seahawks.

1136
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: It's not going to be the same thing as last

1137
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: week where Seattle is going to come out and be

1138
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 1: held to the kind of offensive showing they were points wise.

1139
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: I just don't see it happening. What about a defensive turnover?

1140
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is all Ram's offense has

1141
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 1: got issues. It's never a good sign when your quarterback

1142
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: has to come out and tell you whether he's seen

1143
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: ghosts or not. Yeah. Yeah, that is not a good sign.

1144
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: By the way, when the quarterbacks saying that, usually people

1145
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: say that about a quarterback when he's saying I've seen

1146
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: ghost preemptive ghost denial. Get that guy out of there. Uh.

1147
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: The Seahawks defense, if you remember, last year, started off

1148
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: the season so slowly, didn't look like the Seahawks defense

1149
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: for half the year. This year they come out and

1150
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: they look like they're they're sick of all that. They

1151
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,439
Speaker 1: look ready to go. Michael Bennett somehow gets better each

1152
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: and every year. If Jeff Fisher gets a contract extension.

1153
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: By the way, we have to have an emergency podcast

1154
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 1: whenever it goes down. If it leads on a Saturday

1155
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: at three pm and we're playing corn hole at my house,

1156
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 1: we need all race to the office to talk about

1157
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: Does that feel like necessary? I'm all in for that.

1158
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: I think that's a good show running by you. I

1159
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: don't know if Sydney, our producer, would really appreciate she

1160
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: understands that good point though. All right, let's move on, gentlemen,

1161
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: and talk about the Indianapolis Colts oh and one traveling

1162
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: UH to Denver to face the Broncos, who have a

1163
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: nice had a nice little ten day break after their

1164
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: kickoff Thursday win and historic game. As I consult UH

1165
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: the UH two thousand sixteen season Week two research notes,

1166
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: we don't have any music to play were you know,

1167
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: we don't have anything to play there. I'm working on that,

1168
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 1: but people listen to what's that? What's the song? We

1169
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: used to play? Well, I used to mix it up

1170
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot of different post to old podcast to hear music,

1171
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 1: which was a feature of old shows. Absolutely anyway. But

1172
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: from the research guide, UH, this will be the first

1173
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: Colts Broncos game without Peyton Manning involved since Week five

1174
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: ninete UH and that was October third, nineteen and I

1175
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: just thought maybe a little trip down memory lane. I

1176
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: wrote about this on the end a round. I thought

1177
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: you guys might be interested in it. We were all

1178
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: alive at that time. Greg maybe not. Greg was born

1179
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: in like two thousand seven at thirty two years old.

1180
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: That's a theory that's out there. And so I was

1181
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: living my life at fourteen more than y'all. I was

1182
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: out there where I can tell you what I was doing,

1183
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: all right. So the number one single on October third,

1184
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: uh nine was dream Lover by Mariah Carey. Remember this banger?

1185
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh yes, at the height of Mariah Carry's powers, I

1186
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: would say, also the height of her the good girl, um,

1187
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,439
Speaker 1: good girl face before she turned into a bad girl,

1188
00:59:55,560 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: before came into the mix, before TV came been changed. Uh.

1189
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: The number one movie on that weekend, the last game

1190
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: between the Broncos and Cults without Peyton Manning involved, was

1191
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: and this is a bit fo twits, go ahead, you'll

1192
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: never get it. Um the Good Son. No that wait,

1193
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: how would you even be close to that? That was

1194
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: the number two movie because I went to a movie

1195
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: with my dad that week in November. And remember what

1196
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: movie was? Whoa It was the number two movie in America.

1197
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: But the number one movie in America was a tap

1198
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: a tepid um medical thriller starring Alec Baldwin and uh

1199
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman called Malice, which has been forgotten completely by society,

1200
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: but does include some peak Baldwin that we've known on

1201
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: the show. You ask me if I have a God complex,

1202
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I am God. It's a

1203
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: great movie. Actually wasn't like every movie in the nineties

1204
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: malice in the title or something. Yeah, it had to be,

1205
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: had to be a role was usually two words in

1206
01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Alice in there somewhere, And the number one sitcom of

1207

01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: I know what it is. Uh, friends, No, I'm going Frasier,

1210
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:24,840

Speaker 1: It's good to know America is not dumber. Now. That

1213
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: was then our presidential candidate always been dumb. Gregg's secret

1214
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: j TT fan. Have you ever been to Gregg's house albums?

1215
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: Committed that poster of him on the back of your door. Yeah,

1216
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about sin. I was thinking about maybe bringing

1217
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: back No, no, why not? No? What does it even mean?

1218
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: It means it's a little it's a little too and

1219
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: you just needs your space and you want to get

1220
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: in the garage, want that wife to get off your back.

1221
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, you just want to go Sidney,

1222
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: what are you doing back there? People up Tim Allen?

1223
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 1: They actually haven't. Yeah, they've been running the Tom improvement

1224
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: to that Tim Allen Show for like five years. Doesn't

1225
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: have that title, but it's essentially anyway, let's talk the game. So, yeah,

1226
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning not involved in this game, as we know,

1227
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: but you know who is Andrew Luck and you know

1228
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: who else is Trevor Simeon, a guy that maybe got

1229
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: a little overhyped about his play in that game, but

1230
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: he made some plays in that football game that opener. Uh, Mark,

1231
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: what were your takeaways? Um? You know, clear eyed, concise takeaways,

1232
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: throw out you know all the hyperbole. How did you

1233
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: think Trevor Simeon played better than last year's Broncos quarterbacks?

1234
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: And with the way this team is set up, you know,

1235
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: I think at some point they're going to transition to

1236
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: Paxton Lynch. But Trevor Simeon throws the ball better than

1237
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez did. And I would say that in the

1238
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: end that John Ellie will be viewed favorably for not

1239
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: over paying Brock Osweiler. As we discussed a few weeks ago,

1240
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: I think Trevor Simeon is a good bridge to Paxiston Lynch.

1241
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. The Broncos are going to

1242
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: be better than the cold set what twenty one out

1243
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 1: of the twenty two positions on the field in this game.

1244
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: They should blow the Colts out early. And if they

1245
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: don't and they let it come down to Andrew Luck

1246
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: versus Trevor Simon with the game on the line, they

1247
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: could be in trouble. But the Broncos, it's hard to

1248
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: see the Broncos defensive personnel not taking advantage of the

1249
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: Colts offensive line, or the Broncos offensive personnel and C. J.

1250
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Anderson not taking advantage of a wretched Colts defense. I

1251
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: don't think you can overstate how dominant Denver's offensive line

1252
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: was in the running game last week when I when

1253
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: I watched that, they destroyed Carolina, who we think of

1254
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 1: as a front seven, so as a good front seven,

1255
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: they absolutely dominated them. And so if you've got that

1256
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of dominance in the running game, now that it's

1257
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: really the Carrie Gary Kubiak offense and they're doing that

1258
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: in Week one, that's scary and and also scary is

1259
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: that they got Shack Barrett and Shane Ray coming off

1260
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,919
Speaker 1: the bench and you're practically not losing anything at this point.

1261
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: Shane Ray and Jack Barrett are getting better and better.

1262
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: I think this is one of, you know, a string

1263
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: of games where the Cults, we're gonna get at their offense.

1264
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: They can score points, but they are just an incomplete roster.

1265
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: What concerns me about Denver obviously with Damarus Thomas said

1266
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: this week that he is concerns about coming out of

1267
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: his cuts and getting hit with the hip injury. Has

1268
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: He's obviously not, but the way that they ran the ball,

1269
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: it's c J. Anderson is set up for a huge

1270
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: season in this in this offense, and I don't see

1271
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: it slowing Dan. He's gonna have a huge week against Indianapolis.

1272
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: Barring a stunner. You gotta lock it up now. As

1273
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: we are talking about this, I was thinking this would

1274
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: be a logical lock because they're probably they're they're big

1275
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: time favor I like my locks to have a little

1276
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: bit of flavor. This is a little a little bit

1277
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: too block and tackle for me. It's I like them

1278
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: to be wrong quite a bit. So that's where I'm going. Alright,

1279
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: good moving on the Atlanta Falcons, UH coming off a

1280
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: dreary season opening loss, head to Oakland to face the Raiders,

1281
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: and uh, here's a game Chris Westling featuring another team

1282
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: of a t N nominee. And again, if I want,

1283
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: if I think the Raiders, I don't need the Raiders

1284
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: to go twelve and four this season, but I need

1285
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: things to happen like this when Atlanta, UH middling team

1286
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: comes into your building in your home opener, I want

1287
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: you to double down on the momentum for week one

1288
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 1: and spank the Falcons and send Matt Ryan home quivering

1289
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: in a corner. Whoa sitting in the plane? Where's Matt?

1290
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: Why is it in his seat? Oh? He's over in

1291
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: the cargo area. He doesn't want to be around anyone

1292
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: right now. That's what I want. If you are a

1293
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: fan of the Oakland Raiders, the team of at L,

1294
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: and you liked that they took advantage of the Saints

1295
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: UH subpart defense last week, you can feel pretty good

1296
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: about Falcon's defense coming in that still has no pass

1297
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: rush and their linebackers got absolutely worked in coverage. Sean

1298
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 1: Weatherspoon devanre Campbell especially, We're absolutely torched in coverage. They

1299
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: were a little better rushing the passer, and I don't

1300
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: think you're gonna be happy, Dan, if you're looking for

1301
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: a blot to me until proven otherwise. I think these

1302
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: are two teams are in the middle class of the NFL,

1303
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: and those types of teams play close games. I'd give

1304
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: the slight edge a quarterback to Atlanta in this game.

1305
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: I thought Matt Ryan looked good last week. Uh So,

1306
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: I don't see any reason to believe this is gonna

1307
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: be some blow. I think I'll be close to that

1308
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: Eric car have to do to get some love in

1309
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: this roam. Derek Carr was great last week. I love that.

1310
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if you talk about a team the other

1311
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: guys rising like talk about a team of a t

1312
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: L moment he jumps over a defender for the first down.

1313
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: He's on the opposed sideline, Derek Carr, and he's making

1314
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: the first down sign as people are yelling at him

1315
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: around him. He doesn't carries Derek Carr. I don't think

1316
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: anyone like you know what. I'm not gonna even talk

1317
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: in this second. I will say one thing. I mean,

1318
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: the reason there's not gonna be a blowout because, yeah,

1319
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons lost last week, but you've got Julio Jones

1320
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: and Mohammed Sanu. Is a massive upgrade over last year's

1321
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Roddy White and what we saw happen in Oakland last

1322
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: week with their rebuilt secondary did not live up to

1323
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: the promise. They've got Seawan Smith coming back into the

1324
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: lineup after being benched. A lot of pretty words this

1325
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: week about how coach believes in him. He believes in himself.

1326
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: Everyone believes in everyone. But you know, now you gotta

1327
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: you gotta deal with Julio Jones and Mohammed Sanu. That's

1328
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: a matchup issue for Oakland. Ay wait, Jalen was started.

1329
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: I gotta go see if he's available. And so Mohammed,

1330
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: I think there might be some stain power there. Take

1331
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: it offline. Mohammed Sanu is now making the leap from

1332
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: a guy that's just the nice target monster to a

1333
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: guy that teams need to be terrified. I think you

1334
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: gotta see what he did last week. I mean he

1335
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: really he made a difference in that game. And I

1336
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: think the things you're gonna get a number one cornerback

1337
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: or two cornerbacks or two coverage people on on who

1338
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: Jones every week, leaving Sanu open. Then he just most

1339
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: of his yards came on a blown coverage. Right. It

1340
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 1: was a nice job by him. Too excited about most

1341
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: of new not just yet. I'm not asking you to

1342
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: get excited. Get excited four weeks from now when he's

1343
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: continuing to do the same thing. Can we revisit Greg's

1344
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard Love seventy f yard touchdown run in in

1345
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 1: which Collecchi assembly pancake the defensive tackle to spring Jalon Richard.

1346
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: I just love hist DeAndre Washington outtouched Jalen Richard. H

1347
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: how do you pronounce this? Got the goal line? Love?

1348
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 1: And Taiwan Jones is involved too. That is a four

1349
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: man backups Taiwan Jones Eventually in a PPR league, I

1350
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: think I think he might be a fact. Just the

1351
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: movement on the punt returns. I mean he moves in

1352
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: a in a special way. I'm just saying, not a

1353
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: lot of people move like that. What is up with

1354
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: Atlanta's shovel passes? Enough with this nonsense four or five

1355
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: times last No, I'm just saying, no, it is a

1356
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: weird running game that they have this year. It's very

1357
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: strange and it surprises me. From Kyle Shanahan, Uh, let's

1358
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: move on, gentlemen and talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars, who

1359
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: are unable to knock off the Packers at home in

1360
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: Week one, So now they travel to San Diego to

1361
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 1: face Chargers team that still has to be gutted. They

1362
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: blew a huge lead in Kansas City and also lost

1363
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 1: their best offensive player, uh, at least their best offensive

1364
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: skill player in Keenan Allen, who did indeed suffer torn

1365
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 1: a c L. So they got a home hold court here, Mark,

1366
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 1: and if they don't, you start to get the feeling

1367
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: could be a bad season in San Diego. I don't

1368
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 1: like this matchup for San Diego. I don't think that

1369
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot separating these two teams. But there's

1370
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: a lot to like about the Jaguars right now, and

1371
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: for me, it starts with Jalen Ramsey on defense. This

1372
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 1: guy is going to be an absolute star. He is nasty.

1373
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 1: Go watch this guy's game from last week. He has

1374
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 1: got an attitude and it happens whether it's on special

1375
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: teams or on defense. I think the Jaguars. You know,

1376
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's gonna happen all this season, which

1377
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 1: will you know? Upset the caravan that's writing that thinks

1378
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: it's riding towards January play. But they have a lot

1379
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,759
Speaker 1: of productive young players. Put up four hundred and thirteen

1380
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: yards something like that last week, did a very good job,

1381
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 1: and I think that you know that. Sorry the Chargers

1382
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: gave up four hundred and thirteen yards. It's a good matchup.

1383
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: I think for the Jaguars to come in Allen Robinson,

1384
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns, and I don't I want to know what's

1385
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: happening with Chris Ivory. That's my concern. I think there

1386
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: are much different run game when he's been in the

1387
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 1: lineup in the preseason. I think the Chargers offense worries

1388
01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: me without Keenan Allen. They got shut down when he left,

1389
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: and I think he's that good. I know that Philip

1390
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,959
Speaker 1: Rivers is talking up Tyrelle Williams, who's athletic, who has potential.

1391
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 1: But it's a lot different from going going from a

1392
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: guy like Keenan Allen who was giving a high quality quarter.

1393
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: Cornerback like Marcus Peters fits in that game, right, when

1394
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 1: you're suddenly county on Tyra Williams to be your co

1395
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: number one receiver, You're in trouble because Travis Benderman is

1396
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: not a number one is he is sort of not

1397
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 1: a one trick You're gonna Travis Benjamin does one thing

1398
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: really right, You're gonna You're gonna spread it around. Antonio

1399
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: Gates didn't have a good week the Jaguars. This is

1400
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: a game if they are going to take the next step,

1401
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: This is the type of game you sneak out. It's

1402
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: not the toughest road place to play, uh in the world.

1403
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Jaguars showed something in that

1404
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: game that they were aggressive going for it on fourth downs.

1405
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: That's the right sort of attitude. I'll tell you what.

1406
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: They are there my lock of the week. And I

1407
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: get it. Why would you take an O in one

1408
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: team that's been historically a disaster of late on the road.

1409
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: But I believe it, and I think they're gonna win.

1410
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 1: This Jacksonville team is going to be frisky. I it

1411
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 1: had they gotten the you know, they got a bomb

1412
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: dropped on them against Green Bay last week, I'd be

1413
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: all out. But I think that they showed up. They

1414
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: did exactly what we asked them to do in this

1415
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: studio last Thursday, which is they played up. They did

1416
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: not at all, and there's a lot of wine. They

1417
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,560
Speaker 1: did not win. They played a great team. This is

1418
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,479
Speaker 1: not the Green Bay Packers. They're gonna win this. Good

1419
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 1: matchups of good cornerbacks against great receivers. In terms of Jackson,

1420
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean, ever, there is a secondary, some cornerbacks who

1421
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: could slow them down. They would be this San Diego

1422
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: one Sin it's not gonna slow Yeah. Again, I also

1423
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: like to lose these locks, I said, Greg, So your

1424
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: point is taken. When does the Joey Bosa holdout end?

1425
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 1: Is my question. That's a big loss for San Diego.

1426
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: I think that we don't even know they need exactly

1427
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 1: that what he was supposed to bring. They need right now,

1428
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 1: not eight nine weeks from now or a year from now. Maybe.

1429
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't want to talk about it, but

1430
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: he's hurt because hamstrings hurt, because he spent the entire

1431
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 1: summer in a protracted standoff that no one was happy about. Whatever.

1432
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: Moving on, the Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings Sunday Night

1433
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 1: football in front al Chris and the world. What a

1434
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: game this is a game I'll be very excited to watch.

1435
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: And Uh, Greg, from your standpoint, Uh, what what did

1436
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: you come away from in terms of your thoughts about

1437
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 1: the Vikings now that the shock of the losing ted

1438
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater has some side. I did, and they won

1439
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 1: a game in Week one where the defense played very

1440
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: very well. Are you feeling good? And now maybe Sam

1441
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: Bradford enters the picture. I am feeling good about the Vikings.

1442
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 1: The things that Mark talked about all preseason in terms

1443
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: of Minnesota's defense, none of that's changed. I think Mike

1444
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: Zimmer is gonna convince this team that no no one,

1445
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: I mean, you know he's doing this. He's a Bill

1446
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Parcels guy. No one's giving you a chance now that

1447
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: Teddy has gone for the season, you know, putting everyone's

1448
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: picks up there. No one's picking them to the playoffs.

1449
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 1: And let's face it, they beat the Packers with the

1450
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: division on the line with yards out of their quarterback.

1451
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 1: So they've shown the formula to win with defense. And

1452
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 1: if you're starting a basketball team full of defenders, I

1453
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: think the Minnesota Vikings defense would be who you want?

1454
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 1: Danil Hunter, I love him, Everson Griffin, Anthony Barr. Harrison

1455
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Smith at this point is almost accepted as the best

1456
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: safety in football. It's just very deep or one one

1457
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 1: of them he's getting. He's getting to that point with

1458
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: Earl Timerson. Smith is great. But stop, you're treating Earl

1459
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: Thomas like you treat all right. Eric Thomas had a

1460
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: bad year and then he had a bad game, so

1461
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 1: you're right, maybe I'm getting carried away. They don't have

1462
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:10,640
Speaker 1: a point of their defense where you say this is

1463
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: where you obviously go a town and they're adding players

1464
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: that matter. Eric Kendricks is now a player that matters.

1465
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: They've just got depth everywhere enough I think to slow

1466
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: down the Packers and win this game. Hunter was awesome.

1467
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 1: I like this Vikings team to win this game. You know,

1468
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,839
Speaker 1: if I had a team of football players playing basketball.

1469
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: My first pick Jimmy Graham, he played ball. You don't

1470
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: know that that findings down the lab at the college

1471
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: level or at many levels, high school, junior, high, college,

1472
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: I would throw last year's game that you referenced out

1473
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: the window compairtly. Sam Bradford is taking over from Teddy

1474
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: Bridgewater this week, according to reports, and sam Bradford and

1475
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz now have exactly the same number of games

1476
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: with two d seventy eight yards and two TVs and

1477
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: no one options in their entire careers. My point is

1478
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings were a good defense last year. They weren't

1479
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: at the level of the Broncos and the Seahawks and

1480
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: the Pain and maybe they can get to that. I

1481
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: think that's fine, But the Packers offense was at a

1482
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: dysfunctional stage when these these two teams met last year.

1483
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: Any concerned that Aaron Rodgers had great protection last week

1484
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: in the average five point nine yards pretend? I think.

1485
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,799
Speaker 1: I think a lot of this goes back to Jordy Nelson,

1486
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: who said basically what he had dead legs, that he's

1487
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 1: still he's still getting back into it. He looked slow,

1488
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: He did not look himself. He's running shorter routes. He's

1489
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 1: not running vertical routes right now, and I think that's

1490
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 1: a problem. But yes, there's a concern because Aaron Rodgers,

1491
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 1: you can't repeat these spectacular tight window throws on a

1492
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. And that was the case with

1493
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 1: him last September when we were calling him to Michael

1494
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: Jordan a football and he was playing better than any

1495
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: quarterback ever had, and it just it dwindled once defense

1496
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 1: is realized that you didn't have to play down the

1497
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 1: field at all. Let's pick this game, guys, Mark, I'm

1498
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna go Vikings. This was my this is gonna be

1499
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: my team of a t L and I they're still

1500
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: in the mix if they win this one, Packers. I

1501
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: got the Vikings as well. You know why because the

1502
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 1: new stadium, new stadium, that place is gonna be going nuts.

1503
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,600
Speaker 1: How how serious of the Vikings taking this. They successfully

1504
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 1: petitioned the league to have the halftime lengthened for a

1505
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: major display that they're putting out with an orchestra, a

1506
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: Prince tribute, a Game of Thrones. Guy is gonna be there.

1507
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: I was on the fence until the Game of Thrones, guy,

1508
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: But I'm taking the Vikings now. The Vikings skull chant.

1509
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: Do you guys know about this? Yeah, it's always in

1510
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: tweets that you know Vikings fans send at you school.

1511
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: If they could pull this up, this is a new

1512
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: thing they're taking from the Icelandic team. If the Vikings

1513
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: can incorporate this into their home home games, that would

1514
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: be cool. The Super Bowl is finally coming to Mini. Well,

1515
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,560
Speaker 1: it is a couple of years every sports bar you

1516
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 1: don't ye not hosting every sports bar you ever go

1517
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: to on a Sunday, which we never get to do anymore.

1518
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: But even just on a random night, there's always one

1519
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: or two or more people in the Vikings, Jersey that

1520
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: that fan base is legitimate. They care about that team,

1521
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a good season. All right, So

1522
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: what were the fun you took the Vikings as well? Yes,

1523
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 1: I would feel good if I were you, because I

1524
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: don't think Aaron Rodgers versus Sam Branford. I got hero

1525
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 1: pick favorite uh favorite hero pick? Alright, time to take

1526
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 1: us to Monday night football the Philadelphia Eagles with Carson

1527
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 1: wentz uh you know, nice little training wheels game against

1528
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 1: the Browns and now they head to Chicago and I

1529
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: start to the season for Philly. You get the Browns

1530
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: at home, and then you go to Chicago, a team

1531
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't have their act together perhaps, but unless Greg,

1532
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: did you see some things when you watch the Bears

1533
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: that made you think they were the better than people

1534
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,560
Speaker 1: might think? Well, I've waited this long to drop my

1535
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: lock of the week. You guys don't even know which

1536
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 1: team I'm taking you do knock of the week. The

1537
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: Bears are one of the worst teams in the NFL

1538
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia Eagles got a perfect landing spot to

1539
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: start this season. As you mentioned, I think this is

1540
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 1: a great defense. I don't think the Bears offense is

1541
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: gonna have enough answers for this defense. And I really

1542
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: think Chicago's defense without Pernell McPhee, they're gonna play hard,

1543
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 1: but they are undermanned in the secondary. I think there

1544
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: is a pretty sizable difference in talent between these two teams,

1545
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: and that the Eagles are going to get off to

1546
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: a hot start to and oh you're locking it up.

1547
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:44,719
Speaker 1: Locking it up as an underdog, I think the Bears

1548
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: win by more than one score. Good whoa al Sean

1549
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:53,719
Speaker 1: Jeffrey was spectacular in the opener, and if Jay Cutler

1550
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: had more time to throw in the second half, he

1551
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: might have gone for two yards. Jay Cutler played great

1552
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: last week. Most of that game. I thought he he

1553
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: played a perfect first half despite some bad protection around him,

1554
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 1: but you can't ask him to play that well. He

1555
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,719
Speaker 1: had a really nice thirty second drive going into halftime,

1556
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: but didn't do much in the second half. I mean

1557
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: I guess you could say you could certainly if the

1558
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns can make plays on Philly's secondary and they

1559
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: picked on Nolan Carroll here and there, that I could

1560
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: see that happening with the Bears as well. I mean

1561
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: with al Sean Jeffrey there's that's he he was great

1562
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 1: and I I'm gonna go Eagles though, because I just

1563
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 1: think there's something going on with his Eagles team. Uh,

1564
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 1: are you locking it up already? Locked it up? Locked

1565
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: it up? Ready? You can't lock it up already? Locked word? Okay, right,

1566
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: Mark is absolutely right. You can only lock up on

1567
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: Kevin White at this point is an albatross for that team.

1568
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: They feel the reason need to put him on the

1569
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: field every single down. His catches last week, we're not

1570
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 1: getting to the first down sticks, uh, causing an interception,

1571
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: dropping the pass. He is hurting them and they can't

1572
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: mention him. Used the a word. Could Carson Wentz hand

1573
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 1: pick two secondaries to start his season better than the

1574
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Browns and Bears. That's what I'm saying. They're probably gonna

1575
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: be without Zach Ertz, which is a big loss on

1576
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't have enough pass catchers to begin with.

1577
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: So that's a problem. And let's you know, throw Howie

1578
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: Howie a bone here, because he saw that what we're

1579
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 1: seeing now. He studied the schedule and he said, well,

1580
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: if I want this rookie to play, I could wait

1581
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,719
Speaker 1: three or four weeks until I feel like Chase Daniel

1582
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 1: needs to be replaced. Or I could throw him in

1583
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: there against too, you know, bottom bottom five teams in

1584
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: the league, and get his feet wet in a positive

1585
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: way as smart and in the process, we are city

1586
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: is hosting the draft Philadelphia. I can get a first

1587
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: round pick back just to ship Sam Bradford a few

1588
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: miles west. Not a big problem there. One thing about

1589
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 1: one thing about Carson Wentz is it's one thing to

1590
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 1: go out and have that kind of game when you've

1591
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 1: been preparing for it for months. It's another to do

1592
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 1: it when you've got a couple of days to prepare.

1593
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 1: That's true. That is fair that This is what I'll

1594
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: say about Carson Wentz, though there are a couple of

1595
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 1: throws he made, which is I don't care how what

1596
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 1: happens to him from here on out. The guy can.

1597
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: The guy has some stuff going on at quarterback, and

1598
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: the teams without a quarterback. I think they would Carson

1599
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 1: Wentz would be very quickly. He's got the heater touch pass,

1600
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: which is nice to see right off the bat that

1601
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: he's not always throwing it a hundred miles an hour,

1602
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 1: but he can when he needs. Cleveland and they're not

1603
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 1: that they have a great ability to do this. Tried

1604
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: very hard to confuse him and throw weird stuff at

1605
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: him early and just nothing seemed to phase him. Two.

1606
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: I think that you know, neck up, he's They talk

1607
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 1: about him as like this a type personality that's sort

1608
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: of Peyton Manning esque and his obsessiveness with football. That's

1609
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: uh opposite from what we've heard about. The other quarterback

1610
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 1: that was drafted in the top two, a little underrated.

1611
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: Another rookie in this game, Leondard Floyd to top ten pick,

1612
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: a head of schedule, playing every down. They thought he'd

1613
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: be a situational guy, kind of looking like he belongs.

1614
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: As good news for the Bears. All right, there you go.

1615
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 1: There is our Week two preview. Well, next time you
