We've got it all. 10 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: Colin right, Colin wrong? One hour from now? What a 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: showcase last night? Jmak the NFL block kicks fifty eight 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: yard field goals. If you get the ball last, if 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: you don't win, you at least cover. I remember a 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: time when you used to get four out of five picks, right, 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean it was a mine. Was money in the 16 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: bank by the Jet Skis on Saturday. I didn't even 17 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: need to watch Sunday. This league is nuts and last 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: is an exclamation point on nuts. 19 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely crazy Sunday in the NFL. I mean Packers felt 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: like a loss of them. 21 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Dallas is one two in one, and Dallas 22 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: feels pretty good about themselves. The Packers are two to 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: one in one and they think the sky is falling. 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: Take a deep breath, green Bay fans, you are still, 25 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: for the third year in a row, the youngest team 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL. In the last two weeks, part of 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: being young is you can't figure out how to close 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: out games against inferior teams. You just can't figure it out. 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: The Eagles, the Chiefs, the Rams, they got veterans, they 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: close out those games that playoff experience, that wisdom. Green 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: Bay is crazy talented, but Matt Lafleur is in the 32 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: head coach, he's a chaperone. This roster is full of 33 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty five year olds, and there's not 34 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: many great corners in the league. And let's be honest, 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: George Pickens had a day. You know, you let go 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: of your most talented corner to Balta, so you came 37 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: in a little corner light. Michaeh. Parsons did not help. 38 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: Where's the pass rush, I'm not seeing it. One sack. 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: So this was just two very comfortable quarterbacks, Jordan Love 40 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott, and they as they say eight, they 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: had six touchdowns, no picks, they had all data throw 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: They were both comfortable they completed seventy five percent of 43 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: their throws. And it's the NFL. The Saints gave Buffalo 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: in Buffalo trouble. The Chargers got whacked by Jackson Dart 45 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: fifty seven year old. Field goals are chip shots. Every 46 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: third kick is blocked. And yesterday and Dublin Aaron Rodgers 47 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: looked twenty four years old. So it's like it's a 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: this is what it is. The weather's still very good, 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: so the offense is good. You can throw the ball 50 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: down the field. It'll get cold, teams won't be able 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: to throw the ball down the field. Teams will be 52 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: more injured. That was just two really good quarterbacks. Both 53 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: were incredibly comfortable, and Packer fans can be fatalists. It's 54 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: like you're gonna win the division. You had a bunch 55 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: of bad teams coming up. Let's be honest. You beat 56 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: a Lions team with two new coordinators that was trying 57 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: to find themselves, and I got a little high on you, 58 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: and you did too. And then you beat the Commanders 59 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: on a short week at home and Jaden Daniels wasn't 60 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: one hundred percent, and then you play you know you're 61 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: feeling yourself, and then you play a couple teams and 62 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: you're you have a fourth quarter lead against Cleveland and 63 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: you blow it. Jordan Love had a rare bad pick. 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: And then last night your clock management wasn't very good. 65 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: But again, this is the youngest team in the NFL. 66 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: Now you've got a stretch packer fans. We have faced Cardinals, Panthers, Bengals. 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: You could be six one on one coming up and 68 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: be fine. This is September football. It's crazy. I can 69 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: remember Ryan Fitzpatrick of the Bills years ago tearing up 70 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: September and they gave him a huge contract. Weird stuff happens. 71 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: Sean Payton's always been a bad September coach. So again, 72 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: young team and this is the downside to young teams, stoicism, temperament, poise. 73 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: Green Bay still doesn't have that. Green Bay got a 74 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: little high on their supply and we're lucky to settle 75 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: for a tie. What am I bad, bunny? All I 76 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: know is this. They're good, they're young, they're talented, the coach, 77 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback. But but their temperament and sometimes I'm not 78 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: sure they understand the game has a clock, the management 79 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: of it. Mat Lafloor said after We're just not there yet. 80 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 4: I think anytime mistakes happen is disappointing. Whether it's year 81 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: three with your group of guys or you got a 82 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 4: rookie in there, it really doesn't matter at the end 83 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: of the day because nobody cares. Bottom line is, you 84 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 4: got to get it right. The operation was just way 85 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 4: too slow, Like I don't know if our guys didn't 86 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 4: know where were in two minutes or what. But ultimately 87 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 4: the communication has got to get better. Myself to Jordan 88 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 4: to the hotel, and that's that's a bottom line. 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: For the record. I thought the Micah Parsons deal, I said, 90 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay is pretty stacked. It's a great roster. They 91 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: don't need a first round pick because they got their 92 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: quarterback and they've got there, They've got their weapons, and 93 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: they've got with Micah, they got a pass rush, so 94 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: they don't need first round picks. They can get away 95 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: with it for about two years. But Micah hasn't really 96 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: delivered on the promise right, like overall, not getting the 97 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: quarterback enough. By the way, if you're Dallas, you have 98 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: to feel great this morning. Think about this. I'm Dallas. 99 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: Everybody crapped on that Micah trade. My take is the 100 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: Cowboys are going into the next two drafts. They don't 101 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: need a quarterback and about eight to ten teams due 102 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: and now they got four first round picks and they 103 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: could turn those into other second, third, fourth round picks. 104 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: So Dak playing this well in the Cowboys, even without 105 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb moving the ball this well, Dallas is in 106 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: a great spot. They have something they haven't had in years, 107 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: a healthy quarterback, two really good receivers when Ceedee Lamb 108 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: comes back. Yeah, they don't have mikeh but they have 109 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: four first round picks, which gives them unbelievable financial and 110 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: draft flexibility. Dallas. I mean, I'm Dallas. I'm watching them 111 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: last night, and I'm like, you know how lucky they 112 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: are that Dak is better post surgery. I mean, they 113 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: got a feel. You guys all crush the Michael Parsons move, 114 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: And I said, Mike is good for green Bay. He's 115 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: what they need. Dalla's gonna be fine. They're gonna be fine. 116 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: They're actually significantly better than I thought. So just take 117 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: a deep breath. Green Bay, Dallas feel pretty good. They should. 118 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the green Bay schedule now, I got 119 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: at home against Cincinnati. By the way Cincinnati plays tonight, 120 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: it'll be a short week. Arizona, you trust them, Carolina, 121 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: you get Philadelphia at home. Pittsburgh, they had a lot 122 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: of w's come and take a deep breath, all right, 123 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: it is official. The Kansas City Chiefs are back, and 124 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are in the little Tamar Jackson's head. Lamar 125 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: Jackson five for five on that first drive. The minute 126 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: he got off script, Lamar Jackson was awful. Had a 127 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: passer rating of fifty one. So Steve Spagnola has seen 128 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: him so many times. My opinion, they got a little 129 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: bit of a beat on him. He's got ten touchdowns 130 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: and nine giveaways against Kansas City. And again, Achilles had 131 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: his heel and Superman had his Crypto night. Everybody's got somebody, 132 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: and I just think he struggles with him, and simultaneously 133 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is struggling. I don't want to hear about 134 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: the defensive injuries. Everybody's banged up. Minnesota barely could field 135 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: an offensive line. I don't want to hear about it. 136 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: It's Baltimore's offense that worries me. Lamar doesn't work against 137 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: Kansas City. They faced him so many times are in 138 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: his head. And simultaneously, oh oh, I said that Jay 139 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Mack last week. Just get Xavier Worthy back. He's a 140 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: deep threat. He'll open up the stuff underneath. That's exactly 141 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: what happened. Smith Schuster's still making plays. Xavier Worthy is 142 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: not a number one, but he opens up opportunities for 143 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: guys underneath. They have a chance now to get back 144 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl if they can develop any kind 145 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: of run game. The defense is excellent, the coaching's the 146 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: best in the league, and Mahomes good lord, he still 147 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: got it so and Xavier Worthy is all they need. 148 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: In about four weeks, They're going to get Rashee Rice 149 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: back because Travis Kelcey you can no longer count on. 150 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: He'll he'll show up to the big games. But you've 151 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: got to get Rashi Rice and Worthy. The old line 152 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: is getting a little bit better. But I feel like 153 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: Kansas City's a bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics, and 154 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: it's like the league had a chance to wipe them out, 155 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: and now Kansas City's gonna cough on everybody and pick 156 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: up wins. You had a chance, there was a window 157 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: here they were and I don't know Rashi Rice in 158 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: three weeks. I watched that passing game yesterday and I'm like, yeah, 159 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: I know there's injuries, but it's fine. Worthy gives them 160 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: a deep threat that will open it up for Rashi 161 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: Rice and Juju's miss Schuster, so you'll have a one 162 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: a gadget guy number two and then three and Travis 163 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: Kelcey be good in big games. And the other hallmark 164 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs is they don't beat themselves. They had 165 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: one turnover this year Eagles Eagles, Canada City in Buffalo. 166 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: They just don't turn the ball over. So I think 167 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: you've got to feel I feel like Kansas City watching 168 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: that game. I don't feel I'm overreacting. It does take time. 169 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: You can't go into a game without Worthy and Rashi 170 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: Rice and an older Travis Kelcey and no run game. 171 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: You gotta give them something. At the trade deadline they 172 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: have to consider an upgrade, either O line or run game. 173 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: But I think you come out of this thing. They've 174 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: worked very hard. Worthy mattered Rice around the corner and 175 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City's back. Here's Patrick. 176 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 5: We've been working extremely hard and we want to have success, 177 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 5: and we've been just making little mistakes here and there 178 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 5: and that causes frustration, but at the same time, we've 179 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 5: been learning from them, and well, so we'll learn from 180 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 5: this game. With Xavier being back in just that threat 181 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 5: of being able to went over the top. It's scary 182 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 5: for defenses when they're going to bring pressure knowing that 183 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 5: you can get it to that guy short or deep 184 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 5: and then he can make plays happen. And so we 185 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 5: had good answers. There's a couple here and there that 186 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 5: I think I could have been better on as far 187 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 5: as some of my answers, but overall, I thought we 188 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 5: had a good game plan and we executed it well. 189 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: Listen, it's almost like the Ryder Cup. The Americans weren't bad, 190 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: the Europeans were better. It's almost like Kansas City. Mahomes 191 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: hasn't been bad. He's kept him afloat. He's been a 192 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: life preserver and so is Andy Reid. But you got 193 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: to give him something because they don't run the ball, 194 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: and Kelsey at this age isn't dependable. You got to 195 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: give him something. And this week they got something. They 196 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: got an over the top threat and worthy and suddenly 197 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: the offense looks good. Now they need a number one receiver. 198 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: They're not going to be a great run team this 199 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: year they're not. But Rashi Rice before the suspension was 200 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: a number one. Then you have Juju Smith's probably a 201 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: three worthies year two and a gadget guy. With that 202 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: defense and that coaching, that's a super Bowl bubble team. Now, 203 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: I think the nfcs but in the AFC this year 204 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: top to bottom. But don't I know Stone Oh the 205 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: injuries for Baltimore, the Vikings could barely field an offensive 206 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: line like this is just the reality of it. You 207 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: got all sorts of guys banged up right now, more 208 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: than I recall. But overall I was blown away. J 209 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: Mac Saturday was great. I don't know why. I mean, 210 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: the Bears blocked to kick to win. I don't know 211 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: what it is, but apparently blocked. It used to be 212 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: when you blocked to kick in the NFL that you 213 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: would get a big guy would get a hand on 214 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: it and he would just tip it and then about 215 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: twenty yards down the field, everybody was told to stay 216 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: away from the ball, don't touch it. Right now, guys 217 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: not only block it, they volleyball it, they spike it, 218 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: they get two hands on it. I don't know what's happened, 219 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: but it's just everywhere Like kicks now are like probably 220 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: most of the Greg Olsen told us last week you 221 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: shouldn't kick because of math. The second thing, I mean, 222 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys got two points blocking an extra point. 223 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 3: It's crazy a game that felt like that turned the game. 224 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: It was about to be fourteen nothing. Then it's thirteen 225 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: to two and things snowball from there for Green Bay. 226 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: But that's a good point, Colin. 227 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: So remember how Belichick used to say that the first 228 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 3: four games. 229 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: Are like a preseason, right. 230 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: I think that's how we should look at a gambling wise, 231 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: because special teams now is a huge factor in the NFL. 232 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: Eagles had a punt block for a touchdown. How about. 233 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: Was it Jacksonville? Jacksonville had two huge returns Like San Francisco. 234 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 3: Special teams are garbage. I'm done with the Niners, by. 235 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: The way, Yeah, Niners special teams. John Middlekoff's been telling this. 236 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: They've been bad for four years, so bad, so bad, 237 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: and then they reach and draft a kicker in the 238 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: third round. It's like, guys, you can draft kickers the 239 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: seventh round. You have two picks, all right? 240 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: Regard Hey, regarding the Raiders, can you text Chip Kelly 241 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: and your boy Pete Carroll and be like, why are 242 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 3: you settling for a fifty four yardfield goal. 243 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: To win the game? Like they didn't try to get 244 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: more yards? You know why? You know, why are we 245 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: doing because you know Smith had three picks. 246 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, but here's the thing, they were in Bears territory. 247 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 3: Gino only turned it over in his own end all 248 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: of yesterday. 249 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: Like, I no, no, I'm kind of joking, but yeah, 250 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: that was just brutal for it. For that game was 251 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: incredibly ugly. I want to talk about that with the Bears. 252 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: It was one of the ugliest games, but it was 253 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: wildly entertaining because these are not great teams. Uh. Caleb, 254 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: Caleb with a good game winning drive there. I was like, 255 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: there's no way he's pulling this off. He delivered hand 256 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: and had a couple of key drops by his guys. 257 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays 258 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: and noone eastern non am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio 259 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: FS one and the iHeartRadio app. 260 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Jason McIntyre. 261 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 3: Join me every weekday morning on my podcast Straight Fire 262 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 3: with Jason McIntyre.

One big connection all year. 272 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: It was the game winner. You got feel terrible if 273 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: you're the Colts because you had that game and you 274 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: lost it. Here's the good news. On the Chicago Bears, 275 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: they beat the Raiders. Here is the good news if 276 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: you go to the first four weeks of last year 277 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: and in the first four games that this year, for 278 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: the last two seasons, just with Caleb Williams this year, 279 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: he's given you a touchdown more a game. He's given 280 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: you a much better third down percentage and throwing for 281 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: about three hundred and seventy five yards more per game. 282 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: So clearly Caleb Williams has better coaching and is more effective. 283 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: It's real prob gress he's making hard throws. He's making 284 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: him over the middle of the field. He feels like 285 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: on every play he could break it with his legs. 286 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: He's taken fewer sacks, there is no question he makes 287 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: hard throws. And he had col Comet drop one yesterday. 288 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: He and Roma Dunze absolutely feel like this is gonna 289 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: last a while now. Penalties are a huge issue. That 290 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: a horrible false start and a fourth and one. Pre 291 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: staff operations. Pre staff operations need a lot of work. 292 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: But Caleb Williams last year at this time to this 293 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: year at this time, it's working much better. It's not perfect, 294 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of sloppy. I mean, they got three picks 295 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: on Geno Smith and could have easily lost. So success 296 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: is not a straight line. But this is Chicago. They 297 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: can't get quarterback right. Last season they were finding way 298 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: to to lose. They lost on a hail Mary. Last year, 299 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: they lost on a block field goal. Last year they 300 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: were three and seven and one score games. Last year, 301 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: time running out, lousy clock management. They were just a mess. 302 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: This year. Yesterday, they're on the road. They can't block 303 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: Max Crosby, they had crucial drops, they had eight penalties 304 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: and they won. And that we said this year is 305 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: not about winning a losing. Last year they were two 306 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: and two. This year they're two and two to four games. 307 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: It totally feels different. You got the right coach, Kayla's 308 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: moving in the right direction. The operations is ugly, but 309 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't think these guys are a perfect fit. The 310 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: coach is very much about structure. The quarterback likes to 311 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of do his own thing more than I'd like, 312 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: but he's a huge talent. So I said it in preseason. 313 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: Stop looking at the wins and losses. What will it 314 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: feel like? It feels like, oh, this is way better, 315 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: this is like this thing could work. I mean, Drake 316 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: May has officially popped, Jayden Daniels pop really quick Bo 317 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: Nicks outside of September, looks like it works. Michael Pennix 318 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: was horrible last weekend. He was pretty good yesterday. So 319 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: it stages success is not a straight line. And I 320 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: don't think these guys are the perfect max. One guy's 321 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: a structure guy. The other guy's kind of good off 322 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: platform and moving. But you can see you're getting a 323 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: touchdown more game. From thirty three percent on third down 324 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: to forty five percent. That's a real improvement. They were 325 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: giving you two hundred and fifty yards of offense last year. 326 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: It's closer to three hundred and thirty yards this year 327 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: at Roma Dunze and Caleb. That's gonna work. The run 328 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: games what it was. I think the old line's better, 329 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: but the run game is what it is. They could 330 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: not block Max Crosby, who, outside of Miles Garrett's my 331 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: favorite defensive player in the league. But they block a field, 332 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: go and win. And here's what Ben Johnson told Caleb 333 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: before the game winning drive. 334 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 6: It's easy to get frustrated. We don't panic. We just don't. 335 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 6: That's that's not who we are and that's not what 336 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 6: we do. I remember talking to Caleb before he took 337 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 6: the field. I said, this is this is what you're 338 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 6: built for. These are the moments that he thrives in 339 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 6: the most. I think that that's really been the story 340 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 6: of his life, to be honest with you, and I 341 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 6: know he came through for us in a big way. 342 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: The reason Bears fans exploded after that block kick that 343 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: was that was frustration for not only the last twelve months, 344 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: but maybe for the last twelve years, because the Bears 345 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: have lost so many games like that so many different 346 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: ways and hail Mary's and block kicks and lousy clock management, 347 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: and it's like, it's not just luck. They've blocked to kick. 348 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: They blocked to kick. Players said because of what they 349 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: watched on film, they saw weakness last year. A year ago, 350 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams was complaining nobody would watch film with him. 351 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: So this this, I mean, I watched it yesterday and 352 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, they should have put this thing away 353 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: about an hour ago. But when I blocked that kick, 354 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, Buffalo struggled with the Saints. 355 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: You take it. You're happy, Caleb one, It's all good. 356 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: Jmack with the news. No news, this is the Herdline news. 357 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 3: All right, let's bust right into a con star with 358 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: that Rams Colts thriller out here at so far an 359 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 3: amazing game. And as you're watching here on the screen, 360 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 3: Ad and I Mitchell, the young talented receiver for the Colts. 361 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: You never want to say one guy lost the game, 362 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: but oh. 363 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: My gosh, he took fourteen points off. 364 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: The board, celebrating too early. 365 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: I cannot believe this is still happening in twenty twenty five. 366 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: It's like guys, listen, athletes don't do that. We don't 367 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: ask much. You're you're all millionaires. Just just get into 368 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: the end zone about halfway through and then you can 369 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: play with your food. I mean, he made some great moves, 370 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: by the way, on the catch, he moved, Bring me 371 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: two tackles. He's a technical kid. He also had a 372 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: holding on a huge jobson Taylor run, so he had 373 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: a bad, bad day. But it's like, guys, stop stop 374 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: showing off your employees. Your job is to get into 375 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: the end zone. That's what receivers do. That's your job. 376 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: You don't need to celebrate every catch and every touchdown. 377 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: Like I feel bad for the kid because reportedly he's 378 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: really loved in the locker room. But the Colts blew 379 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: this thing. Yeah, he's a big time talent. 380 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 3: The culture up twenty to thirteen with like six minutes left, 381 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 3: I think five minutes left, pay happened and the Rams 382 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: came back and your guy to two out well who 383 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 3: I think had one catch on the season, and then 384 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 3: he's eighty. 385 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: Eight yards gone for the game winner. Sure he is. Yep. 386 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: Sean McVay brought him back ten million one year, and 387 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: he did it for this two to two is the 388 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: opposite of a volume receiver. But about once every two 389 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: weeks he breaks a big play and the Rams are like, 390 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: I got my number one in Pooka, I got my 391 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: star running back. We're gonna bring in Devonte Adams, I've 392 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: got Stafford. I just need a kind of like a 393 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy, but not nearly as good. I need a 394 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: gadget guy or a guy that can go upstairs and 395 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: take the top off. And that's what he did. But listen, 396 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: if you didn't watch this game, the Colts are going 397 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: to win the hundred percent. I'm telling you again. I 398 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: like their roster and Daniel Jones. Don't look at the 399 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: two picks, the last one, the last one, you're up again, 400 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: carbon copy like he's lobbing it up in the safety. 401 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: Read him like a book. But he is not in 402 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,719 Speaker 1: a quarterback. But I when I look at him, I'm like, 403 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: he is size arm stiking, doesn't run a simple offense. 404 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: My takeaway is he's a B to a B plus quarterback. 405 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: He's at least a B quarterback. Guys were schemed open. 406 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: Jones was hitting him. 407 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 3: I mean he's I'm not I'm not gonna go over 408 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: but I just think you did take away. The Colts 409 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 3: are good. This is not like some fake three game nonsense. 410 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 3: They're legitimately their enansive weapons. Warren's a stud, Taylor's a stud. 411 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 3: Pittman's probably the best number two in the league. They've 412 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 3: got Pierced, now they've got this kid. So the Colts 413 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: are going to win this division. This is a real 414 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 3: and their offensive line at least early held off the Rams. 415 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 3: Now by the end of it, you know, Versus doing 416 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 3: what he. 417 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: Does is an animal. Oh my gosh. He Max Crosby 418 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: and Miles Garrett totally different. 419 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 3: By the way, there's a highlight of Verse just trucking 420 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: like I think the center of the guard and then 421 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 3: he just did a Superman dive. 422 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: Jones eluded it, but I was like, oh my god. 423 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 3: This guy's amazing. Hey, I need to say this. Colin 424 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 3: Pooka Nakua is a superstar. I don't want to hear 425 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 3: any more of this. It's just justin Jefferson and Chase 426 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: Puoka is in that class. I think he had thirteen 427 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: for a buck seventy. Zavian Howard was Bernt Toe's hand. 428 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: And they knew. I mean Devonte and Stafford aren't quite 429 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: there yet. They knew they were going to Pooka on 430 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: every big third down. Yeah, and they still couldn't start. 431 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: He caught the ball sliding, he caught throws up top low. 432 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: He is on. I mean, is he the best fifth 433 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: round wide receiver ever? Elmron Saint Brown's the best fourth 434 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: I think he was a fourth round receiver. 435 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 3: I mean, Pooka is something else. He's tough, man. I 436 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 3: just love that guy. And they got a lot of 437 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 3: weapons and Rams to me, like your big takeaway in 438 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: the NFC, give me your top three right now? Philadelphia 439 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 3: beat the Rams. Philly one Rams two that those are 440 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 3: my two I have in the NFC Championship before the season. 441 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 3: I think green Bay is going to right the ship 442 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 3: and win their division, and Detroit's gonna finish second in 443 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 3: that division. 444 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: I think green Bay is going to be fun. 445 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 3: I do think though, if you you know, we're just 446 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 3: projecting forward. I see some troubling signs for the Eagles. 447 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: We'll get to it later in the week. Oh yeah, 448 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 3: but I thinks right now, if you ask me now, 449 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 3: I think Ram's probably come out of the NFC all right. 450 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 3: Next story, Colin, Yeah, I love how you wedged this 451 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 3: into the first hour. Rock Berdie, my guy, not his 452 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: best game ever coming back off injury toe and shoulder, 453 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 3: and you. 454 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: Know it was not spot on. I'll let you take 455 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: it right, go ahead. He was not great. First of all, 456 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: he was sailing it all day. His interception was probably 457 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: the worst interception of his career, and maybe today one 458 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: was tipped. Come on, well, Mac Jones, four t d's 459 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: a pick, Brock Purtty this year four TD's four picks. 460 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: What was the knock on him in college? He was reckless? 461 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: Settle that. 462 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: I know you want to get it out of your system. 463 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 3: Brock perty stinks. Jay mclin's wrong, I get it. 464 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: That's fun. 465 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 3: Party did not have a great game, period and his story. 466 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 3: The Niners all around were sloppy. We talked at the 467 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 3: open their special. 468 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: Teams are raps in the league. Were special teams in 469 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: the league. 470 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, now without Bosa, are you ready for this stet 471 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 3: No Bosa. They did not have a sack or a 472 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 3: quarterback hit, not one. Trevor Lawrence all day to throw 473 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 3: finding his guys and then on offense, the Niners were 474 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 3: just sloppy. The tight end, the backup tight end, like fumbles. 475 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 3: McCaffrey had a fumble. I think he recovered it, yet 476 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 3: Kendrick Bourne was a drop. They are not because they 477 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 3: had so many injuries. 478 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: Colin. 479 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 3: You know, like once Kittle's back and a Yuk Jennings 480 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 3: comes back and he gets hurt. 481 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: Ricky Piersall goes down with a knee. Okay. So the 482 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: three most injured teams this weekend were Minnesota lost, San 483 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: Francisco lost, Baltimore lost. Injuries absolutely matter, I'm not saying that. 484 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: But in the Baltimore game it was Lamar Jackson. Forget 485 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: the defense, Lamar couldn't move. 486 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 3: The ball out for the first three lost Ronnie Stanley, 487 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 3: He's like, oh my, my left tackle's gone. I think 488 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 3: the Niners are going to be okay. But again, this 489 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 3: injury thing, this is almost every year with Shanahan's guys. 490 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: This is what I said before the season when I 491 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: picked them for third I said, I love the coach, 492 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: I love their players, But the Rams are not old 493 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: and brittle the Seahawks. In the RAM the Rams have 494 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: the youngest great defense in the league. The Seahawks have 495 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: a young defense and a young offense. Age matters what 496 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: you want to be is experienced. You don't want to 497 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: be old, yeah right, Aaron Rodgers until yesterday looked old. 498 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: You don't want to be old in this league. But 499 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: to be Josh Allen or to be you know, Matt 500 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: Stafford where you're like, you've got a lot of wisdom, 501 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: and I think San Francisco is brittle, old and expensive. 502 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 7: Yeah. 503 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 3: Final on this game. Afterward, Robert Salah and Liam Cohen 504 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 3: had some words exchanged at midfield. Robert Sala obviously lob 505 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: de grenade this week about their Jags dealing signs. He 506 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 3: didn't say it was illegal, He just pointed out, here's 507 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 3: a video on the screen, and Liam Cohen goes, keep 508 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 3: my name out your mouth, and all of a sudden, 509 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: Robert Sala's like, are you talking to me, you little shrimp? 510 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 3: And Sala kind of manned up and they were ready 511 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 3: to squabble up. Colin I was shot shocked at this, 512 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 3: and then Albert Breer reminded me that the Jags interviewed Sala, 513 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 3: remember back in January for their head coaching job. Liam 514 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 3: Cohen kind of didn't want to leave Tampa. He was unsure, 515 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 3: and then Cohen decides, oh yeah, I'll leave and Sala 516 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 3: would have been the Jags head coach, so I think 517 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 3: probably there's some resentment there from Robert Sala. 518 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: But spicy. Final story, Colin is the. 519 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 3: Ryder Cup that happened over the weekend to Europe defeated 520 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 3: the US fifteen thirteen. The US was down seven entering 521 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 3: Sunday and dominated. To make it interesting, Europe has now 522 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: won nine of the last twelve Ryder Cups. The big 523 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 3: story here was a lot of odd jacking from these 524 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 3: Jabbronis in the in the stands and mac. 525 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: Let's be fair, it is not a Jabbroni crowd. These tickets, 526 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: well is it? I don't know. This is that a character? 527 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: These tickets are one thousand dollars to get in in 528 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: thirteen bucks for a sniff of a glass of beer. 529 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: So why are guys f bumbing Rory Mackleroy's Because the 530 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: Ryder Cup is loud and chaotic, and they're lubricated, and 531 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: they've got drinks in them, and they've spent a lot 532 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: of money and they want it. The Ryder Cup crowds 533 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 1: are always obnoxious. Now was it over the top? I 534 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: think it was. But I've lived in eight states. I've 535 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: lived in eight states. I know how fans are. Northeast 536 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: fans are more obnoxious. They just are New York fans. Boston, Philly, 537 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: New York. You put a couple of cocktails in the 538 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: Beth Page. I've lived there for ten years. California fans, 539 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: you get some idiots. But it's different. Okay, it's sunny. 540 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: We have bigger states, there's more space. You get people 541 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: out East Philly guy, New York guy. They are Boston guy. 542 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: It's a badge of honor to be obnoxious. So I 543 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: mean this idea. Now, if you want to cut alcohol sales, 544 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: go for it. If you want to cut crowd sides, 545 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: go for it. But the fact that everybody's shocked this 546 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: thing has always been a spectacle. 547 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 3: That's more like the Waste Management Open, you know, where 548 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 3: it's chaos. 549 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: That's fun. Everybody loves that. But I don't know. 550 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 3: Golf is a sport of decorum, and you know the 551 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 3: way time silence. 552 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: Like, are we changing the rule? If we want to 553 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: change it, that's fine. I don't care. Golf is a 554 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: lot of things. Golf is the Live Tour, Golf is 555 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: the Masters, Golf is waste management. Golf is the US Open, 556 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: golf is the this idea that golf is just one thing. No, 557 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: it's not. I mean Michael Jordan's there, there's hackling. The 558 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: rider cut was started in nineteen twenty seven. It was 559 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: an exhibition. It's not an exhibition. It matters the difference 560 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: in this thing. First of all, it's amazing how good 561 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: the golf was. Beth Page didn't have any teeth because 562 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: they cut the rof so you know, it didn't matter 563 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: if you went to the rough. It was a putting contest. 564 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: The difference between these two teams is simple is that 565 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: the Europeans they have a committee. It's very organized. They 566 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: plan this thing. The minute this thing is over and 567 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: they're flying back, they're planning the next Writer Cup. We 568 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: spitball at every two years. Throw it together. We have 569 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 1: some personalities that can't play together. The infrastructure of the 570 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: European golfers is winning this event. That's what's winning. Our 571 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: infrastructure is not as good. We talk about this all 572 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: the time in the NFL. It's not just about your quarterback. 573 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: The best front offices. Remember last week the Athletic mn poll. 574 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: My herd hierarchy is basically, according to the Athletic the 575 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: ten best front offices. Everybody watches the players. There's a 576 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: reason Detroit and Philly are good. They have great general managers. 577 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: The Rams have great front office people. So the Writer Cup, 578 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: our problem is in our golfers. It's the infrastructure of 579 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: the Europeans. They are already planning two years down the road. 580 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: We spitball it with about six months to go, and 581 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: you can it's like a bad NFL front office. It's 582 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: not the quarterback, it's upstairs. 583 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 3: So the US Ryder Cup team is like the Cleveland 584 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 3: Browns front office. 585 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: Basically, is that what we're saying. So here it is. 586 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: Ryder Cup tickets were eleven hundred apiece a mimosa was 587 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: thirty bucks and the beer was fifteen. It's not Jabbroni's 588 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: that's your street. It's Wall Street guys who were obnoxious 589 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: J Mack with the news. Well that's the news, and 590 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: thanks for stopping by. It's the lie, the idea that 591 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: first of all, the Ryder Cups a team thing, and 592 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: Euros the European team is better than us. But our 593 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: golfers played great. They got into a hole and it 594 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: was a putting contest. And I mean, I swear to God, 595 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: but Europeans in the first couple of days. I'm not 596 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: sure they missed a pot. It was insane, but it's 597 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to be like, you know, this is 598 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: because of Trump, but this is because slow down. It's 599 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup. People are obnoxious when they're lubricated. I mean, 600 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: five of the top six golfers according to the World 601 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: Golf Ranking are Americans. Our guys are great, and they 602 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: played great, but we have got to be better infrastructure 603 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: wise to win this thing because the Euros are smart. 604 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: They're already planning the next I saw a golf writer 605 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: out there made a great point. He goes, why is 606 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: the Master so good? You know, I don't know why 607 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: the Masters is so good because it's so organized. They've 608 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: got the best committee. They're the most organized golf tournament 609 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: in America. That stuff matters, all right. I got a 610 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: lot of stuff here. I mean, I got defending our hooligans. 611 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like European soccer. If you see what 612 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: these fans are thrown on the field by at large globally, 613 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: Our fans are great, our coaches aren't threatened. I mean, 614 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: the biggest fear right now in the NFL is Robert 615 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: Sala's bicps. He I would worry about Robert Salah more 616 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: than I worry about some guys six Heinekens in. 617 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd Weekdays 618 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: and noone Easter. They're not a Empacific. 619 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 3: Big Noon is back in ann Arbor and Michigan's own 620 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 3: El Presidente is leading the charge. The pregame party starts 621 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: at ten am Eastern. Then it's quarterback Bryce Underwood and 622 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 3: the Wolverines going head to head with Wisconsin at noon 623 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 3: Big Noon, Saturday only on Fox. 624 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Wisconsin stinks. I'll tell you this. Ohio State, Ohio State, 625 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: and Oregon. I had Penn State against Texas in the 626 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: National Championship. That's not gonna happen Oregon, Ohio State in 627 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: the Natty. I'm not sure if l Presidente is going 628 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: to love that. But okay, so you had to watch 629 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: the Giants Chargers game to appreciate what happened. You had 630 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: to watch can't watch clips or highlights. The Chargers have 631 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: massive offensive line issues at tackle, so that's a separate 632 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: story and a separate issue. But Jackson Dart ran it 633 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: ten times. Design Run plays toughness, Scataboo was a factor. 634 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: They lost their number one receiver and beat a good team. 635 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: The Giants have been bad and boring for a decade. 636 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: But this defensive front, this young quarterback who's confidence in moves, 637 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: has a nice arm. It felt promising. I mean, once again, 638 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: the metro circus, the Jets you'll see it that night 639 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: are probably a circus. And they didn't ask him to 640 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: do a ton, but you couldn't. Elite neighbors not available. 641 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: This this you know, offensive line. Eh, promising feels like 642 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: the right word. No turnovers. He plays with a lot 643 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: of confidence. He didn't have a huge arm, but he's 644 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: got a good arm and he moves well, and they 645 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: designed stuff for him, so the coaching staff likes him. 646 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: So it's it's baby steps for the New York Giants. 647 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: But you know what, they're not a playoff team. But 648 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,959 Speaker 1: New England has officially found their franchise quarterback. Denver's found theirs, 649 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: Washington's found theirs in Atlanta and Chicago were feeling pretty 650 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: good today this season. Watched Brian dave All after the game. 651 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: That is a that is a head coach that liked 652 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: his quarterback, probably if it was his choice would have 653 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: started his quarterback, and Brian Dable after the game was 654 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: about as excited as I've ever seen Brian Dable, and 655 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: I think it's because he went into this game thinking 656 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: we go win this game. This kid's been pretty good 657 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: at practice, this kid's been pretty good in preseason. They 658 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: gave Jackson his shot, and I gotta be honest with you. 659 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: I like the vibes. I thought he was more of 660 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 1: a second round talent. I like what I saw. Here's 661 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: the coach after. 662 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 8: That's his job as quarterback. Make good decisions, convert, make 663 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 8: the right choice. You know, he wasn't perfect, didn't expect 664 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 8: it to be in his first game, but a tough opponent. 665 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 8: You know, it's three to zero team with pretty good defense. 666 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 8: I think young man played well within himself. Made a 667 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 8: huge play when he needed to to see you on 668 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,760 Speaker 8: that third down play. So happy we got him. 669 00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: Listen, all these quarterbacks in year two, you know you 670 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: were kind of figuring out are they the real deal? 671 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart that's his first start, so he got to 672 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: be fair about this stuff. He did not look overwhelmed. 673 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: He played with a ton of confidence. I don't think 674 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: he has a great arm, but it's good enough. He's 675 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: a good looking, confident kid. Scataboo's a great find. Milite 676 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: neighbors can't stay healthy, so I'm not sure you can 677 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: count on that going forward. But I don't know. Yeah, 678 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: I think he had to watch this game. I don't 679 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: think you can go to the stat sheet Milite neighbors. 680 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: It's confirmed torn acl that's awful, But overall, if you 681 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: watch the game, my take was, it's not just the 682 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: Chargers on line. I don't want to hear about injuries. 683 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,280 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh out played Minnesota. I don't want to hear about injuries. 684 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: The Giants outplayed the Chargers. Okay, the Eagles. I had 685 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: a double check on this. They had minus one yards 686 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 1: offense in the second half. Between last week's first half 687 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: and this week second half. They've become the Chiefs of 688 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: last season. They're winning. They're four and oh in one 689 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: possession games, but the Margins have come way down. They 690 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: have had multiple dreadful halves four games in and they 691 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: have a worse point denferential at four and oh than 692 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: the Patriots through at two and two. They are thirtieth 693 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: in yards per play. Is there's no excuse? Very good 694 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: old line Saquon Barkley above average tight ends AJ Brown. 695 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: There is no excuse for being thirtieth in the NFL 696 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: in yards per play. By the way Jalen Hurtz and 697 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: AJ Brown. AJ's back in the witness protection program and 698 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: they're trying to get him the ball. They targeted him 699 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: nine times. They're not ignoring him. They're feeding him for 700 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: seven yards. So he's right now. AJ Brown is a 701 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: top four or five talent in the league at his position. 702 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: He's not top fifty in yards or catches. So this 703 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 1: I don't care. You know how I said, you gotta 704 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 1: watch the Giants the games. You gotta watch these games. 705 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,919 Speaker 1: I don't care about the record. So I mean, like, 706 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: like Buffalo's defense isn't great, but they don't have great personnel. 707 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 1: The personnel here is unbelievable. And what's happening. Everybody's banging 708 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: on Saquon Barkley. Saquon Barkley's become the New York Giant. 709 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley. Nobody respects the downfield game, so they're putting 710 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: eight to nine in the box. And so Saquon Barkley, 711 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean, nobody's gonna run if you put nine in 712 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: the box. So there's all sorts of issues here. People 713 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: have a book on this team. The Rams had a 714 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: book on them, and they couldn't hold on, and the 715 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 1: Bucks figured him out, pun pun punt at the end 716 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: and they couldn't come back. But I think there's a 717 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: book on the Eagles and not the one that Aj 718 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: Brown once run on the sidelines. It's not good. And 719 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: here's Sirianni after. 720 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 7: In the first half he was fourteen. I look at 721 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 7: the statue of fifteen to sixteen. 722 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: That's good, that's pretty darn good. 723 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 7: And then the second half, you know, again, we didn't 724 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 7: we didn't coach well enough, we didn't play well enough. 725 00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 7: In the second half, we were able to hang on 726 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 7: for the win because the defense was able to get 727 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 7: us some turnovers. But second half, I'm not sure any 728 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 7: of us played a coach to our standard there. 729 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: On offense, Listen, they're bad teams and bad units, but 730 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: that's because they have bad personnel. I just don't love 731 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: Buffalo's defensive personnel. I like their offense. They have three 732 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: tight ends. I like Buffalo's defensive personnel. I mean Spencer 733 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 1: Ratler's slinging the ball around. Cowboys defensively I don't love 734 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: their personnel, but you can you know, we know this 735 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: isn't baseball where you have to draft the guy and 736 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: he takes four or five years. And you know in 737 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: the NFL, couple free agents you hit on three draft picks, 738 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 1: you can change the side of the ball quickly. So 739 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: I will say that, can I just complain about this? 740 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: So I don't. I don't mind celebrating a little bit, 741 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: but this drives me crazy. So Cooper de jan got 742 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: a taunting pen lee for this. Now watch this. He 743 00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: got a taunting penlee for that fifteen yards. So we 744 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: let offensive guys celebrate. It's LFG. They get up in 745 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: point a finger, an offensive gut. He gets up and 746 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: walks over and by the way, he doesn't straddle, he 747 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,919 Speaker 1: moves his left foot. He walks over him. And that's 748 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: a fifteen yard path, a fifteen yard penalty. I mean 749 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: with where the kickoffs go. Now, if you complete one 750 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: pass and add that penalty, you're in field goal range. 751 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: I don't like that at all. Listen, Taunting is when 752 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 1: you're getting into guy's face, you grab a face mask, 753 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: your head butt, and that stuff happens about once a weekend. 754 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: You can't be given up fifteen yard penalties if you 755 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: start adding I mean the defensive guys can't do anything. 756 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 1: They can't hit anybody. And I have said for years 757 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: I am for that. I want healthy quarterbacks. But you're 758 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: letting offensive guys have just a field day. You know, 759 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: there's gotta be some warning for that. That is a 760 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty for that. Sorry for the radio audience 761 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it. But Cooper de Jean walks over, 762 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: but he moves his leg. You know they were connected. 763 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: He gets up, is he supposed to not get up 764 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: and move? He has to move around him? And football 765 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: part of football, there is a little bit of intimidation, 766 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: a little bit and if you he made look at 767 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: he looked down at him, he made sure there was 768 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: ye contact, Like, yeah, bro, you're not getting past me. 769 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: That's cool. This is football. That's that Penalley drives me nuts, 770 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: drives me nuts. Colin Wright, Colin wrong. To top of 771 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: next hour, J Mac, I got Denver tonight. I don't 772 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: like Monday night football duel Monday night football games, but 773 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: I want to watch Denver play. 774 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to watch the Jets play. I wish 775 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 3: you had given me more time. On the Uh Your 776 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 3: Jackson Dart love, Colin, can we revisit that later in 777 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 3: the show. I need to put you. 778 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: In your place. You're way wrong. On Jackson Dart and 779 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 1: the Giants. It sounds like a franchise course like Jackson Dart, 780 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: sounds like a am right
