1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: They fake to Gore across the middle back of the

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: end zone Andre Johnson, Lawyer loads it up, fires it

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: to the end zone and it is cap These guys

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: got it and they go back to Gore and Gore

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: is in for the touchdown. Lawyer looking everywhere, pressure coming

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: and he unloads it down the field and it's intercepted.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: They're going up Tommy and they're going down the field

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: trying to ice it. Hilton has it. Oh, Matt Hasselback,

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: the forty year old backup, best quarterback on the field.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Thursday Night, Hoyer gonna Hoyer in the end turned out

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: to be a fun Thursday night game. Colts win it

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: in Houston. I'm Greg Rosenthal. I'm here with Chris Wesley

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about t n f U for

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: a few minutes and then we're gonna get to Dan Hansas,

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: Mark and all of us will discuss the week five slate.

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley, your first impressions of the Colts getting a

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: big NFC south wind, going to three and two, very

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: important game with with uh I think what four undefeated

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: teams in their next five games? That's right, Yeah, they

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: get in the Patriots coming up next, the Over the

21
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Hill Gang got it done for them. Frank Gore Andre

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: Johnson had two tds in his return to Houston. Hasselbeck

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: played through a bacterial infection and managed almost a perfect game.

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: It's crazy how well Hasselbeck has played the last two weeks.

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun to watch, I guess

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: just because I've it's been a while since we've seen him,

27
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: and he's been in the league since the nineties and

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: just seeing a guy at four yearlds. He's clearly playing

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: with like a lot of joy. But he's also been

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: really effective. There's really no doubt that the quarterback play

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: for the Colts has improved since Andrew Luck got hurt,

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: which which is crazy to think of, I'm not seeing

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Matt Hasselbeck is a better quarterback. Of course, they're gonna

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: go a lot further with Andrew Luck and they need

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: him to get back on the field. But he's been

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: very effective in both of these games. Kind of old

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: crafty throws, different arm angles, uh, very smart decisions and

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: and making some tough throws. Yeah, he's been the ideal

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, and that's why it kind of frustrates me

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: when I see teams willing to go into a season

41
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: with a with an obviously bad backup situation, because you

42
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: have to just get through these tough games and put

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: your team in in as good as shape as possible

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: entering December, and teams with good backup quarterbacks can do that.

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: This game was, in the end a lot of fun.

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: We thought it was gonna be a stinker, but this

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Slate this year, they've been entertaining. I mean,

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: what more do you want in a game? Uh came

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: down to the end. Hastleback with the big throw to

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: Hilton to Clinton that came after Brian Hoyers interception, and

51
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: the game, to me came down to the reaction shots

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: throughout the game. The Textan sideline, the Texan sideline. Ryan

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Mallett taken out UH in very weird circumstances. It looked

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: like he got hit in the midsection. He took himself out.

55
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: He wanted to come back into the game about two

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: plays later, and Bill O'Brien didn't let him back into

57
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: the game. Hoyer hits a third and long and suddenly

58
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: Hawyer is going down the field. They get a score

59
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: and Mallett loses his job. That way, I've never really

60
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: seen anything quite like that. He didn't just lose his job,

61
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: he almost lost his mind. They caught him cussing on

62
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: the sidelines. He was pouting throughout the game. Tanya Gungoulia

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: of ESPN Beat Report for the Texans noted that Hoyer

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: and Mallet weren't within what ten or twelve feet of

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: each other the whole game. No, Dan Hansas is gonna

66
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: really miss Ryan Mallet, and I am too as as

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: a starter. But he went out and you're gonna miss him.

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Well just the comedy, you know, I'm not gonna miss him.

69
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: This game was only turned out to be good because

70
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: they got Mallet out of there. Uh, but he went

71
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: out in a blaze of glory. I mean this was

72
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: full Mallet, the shots. He looked like a brother who

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: had just seen his other brother, like just took his

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: toy away. And he's sitting there with his arms across

75
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: the whole game, and so that's going on. Meanwhile, Bill

76
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: O'Brien had a couple of great reactions dots during the game.

77
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Right at the end of the game when DeAndre Hopkins

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: had a big penalty against him, him screaming at Hopkins

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: and then the look on his face and in him

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: saying why did you do that? When Hoyer through just

81
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: the terrible interception to him the game. Mallet's last twelve

82
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: possessions over the last two weeks have resulted in zero points.

83
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: Lawyer's last tempers uh possessions of her last two weeks

84
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: have resulted in forty one points. Garbage time or not.

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: The difference there is startling, right, and today wasn't garbage time.

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: I think this was the best Brian Hoyer game that

87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: he's had since that Thursday night win over the Bengals,

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: or at least the win that that got the Browns

89
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: to seven and four last year. It's been a while

90
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: since he played this well. He played just about a

91
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: perfect game too until that throw. But that throw was

92
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: exactly the type of mistake he made in the week one,

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: which was he had tons of time, was very indecisive

94
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: and instead of giving up on the play after a while,

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: just threw it up for grabs and then the game's over.

96
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: That's why Brian Hoyer can't be called a game manager

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: because he makes bad decisions. Unlike Mallet, he can move

98
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: an offense, he just makes bad decisions which makes them

99
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: a bad quarterback. This This is such a painful loss

100
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: for the Texans to lose at home. If you can't

101
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: beat the Colts without Andrew Luck at home, when are

102
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: you ever gonna do it? And they had to watch

103
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, who hasn't done anything this year, come into

104
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: their house, scored two touchdowns, get six catches, go over

105
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: seventy yards, have that type of performance. I don't think

106
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: you could draw up a worse loss for a team

107
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: than the Texans had. Well, they seem like they're down

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: in the dumps because the quarterbacks are holding the team hostage.

109
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: And you know the defense shouldn't get off the blame either. Um,

110
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: they've been a sieve in the middle. Everybody has carved

111
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: them up in the middle. And when you get pushed

112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: around by a soft team like the Colts, that's pretty noteworthy. Yeah,

113
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the Texans, I think we're lucky to be in this

114
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: game at the end because they were pushed around up

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: front and both sides of the ball, JJ walk got

116
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: nothing done. Uh. The Colts ran the ball well, they

117
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: protected Hasselbeck well, they got after the Texans quarterbacks a

118
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: little bit better. At least they stuffed the run, airing

119
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: Foster with another forgettable games, so that the Cults are

120
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the better team here. They're at three and two, Texans

121
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: at one and four. And finally, I mean, the final

122
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: reaction shot I really got to kick off was Andrew

123
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: luck just loving this game. I mean, he almost liked

124
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: this TNF game as much as I did. Yeah, it

125
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: was interesting to note the difference between his reactions and Mounts.

126
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a good one. Guy wanted his team

127
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: to do well. Well, it's good the Cults. You know,

128
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: they're not a great team, but their defense has been

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: fine this year. They're at three and two. That the

130
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: Texans I think are have we forked them? Yet? We

131
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: have them and it's good because they're not coming back

132
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: from this. They might be the worst team in the league.

133
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: They are, so we we've said enough about them. I

134
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: think let's get to the other teams playing this week.

135
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send it over to Dan Hansas. Let's start

136
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: previewing some games. Around the NFL podcast is under the

137
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: spell of fits match. Welcome back to another edition of

138
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansis

139
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: and I am joined by room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler,

140
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: Christoph Westling and Greg Rosa. What's up, boys, it's happening.

141
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: What a lie at the top of the show. That

142
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: fits magic. I am not under the spell. That does

143
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: not speak for the entire group. Maybe for you, Dan,

144
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: but not or anyone obviously. No, no, no, not me,

145
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: I am I know. The Jets aren't gonna win a

146
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year. It's gonna be forty four years

147
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: in counting or whatever because of fits magic. I think

148
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: they have everything else in place except for the quarterback

149
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: and that's it. Otherwise you could just start sizing those

150
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: rings now. If it wasn't for quarterbacks, everything else, whatever,

151
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: the boss on your throne of sleeves, if the Jets

152
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady or a quarterback of that level or

153
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: close to it, they would be a super Bowl favorite.

154
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: If they had perhaps the greatest quarterback of all time

155
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: on their gross, then then yes they would be. You

156
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: are because the Patriots are rolling. What do they want?

157
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Third seven straight games now dating back to last year.

158
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: You're just if we had Andy Dalton, the Jets had

159
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was right there, I'm right there, you're right,

160
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: you're right. But if you put Tom Brady on fifteen

161
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: teams or Aaron Rodgers on fift teams, they'd have a shot,

162
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: by the way, the New York Jets in a by

163
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: We've just spent three minutes discussing them. Aaron Rodgers on

164
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, and I would consider them super Super Bowl favorite.

165
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: Uh kid, and your boy by the way, you're you know,

166
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: shouting down from the rooftops about quarterbacks, your boy Gino Smith?

167
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: Who you support? The Geno coaster, mark my words, Fitzpatrick.

168
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: As good as things have started after two losses, they'll

169
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: get him out of there first two game losing streaks,

170
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: they'll get Geno back in there. I gotta see what

171
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: you know looks like with um West. No curiosity on

172
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: my part, No West, thanks for joining us, by the way,

173
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,640

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: ready to roll, and we're all sitting up here and

175
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: there's no West. He just rolls and puts on his

176
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: headphones out. Now we can start. It's about me? Way,

177
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: what was that less? It's about me? I like that drop.

178
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: That's the old T D drop trying to get trying

179
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: to get me to remove my hat again. We really

180
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: just always be ready with that drop. Really anytime West

181
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: shows any small amount of hums. Hey, I came in early.

182
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm a noon I'm a noon Thursday guy. It's about me.

183
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: That is uh No, we're glad to have you West,

184
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: because you couldn't. We couldn't do the show without you.

185
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: Well you could, You've done it before. That's true. I mean,

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: none of us is irreplaceable. Well Mark says he is irreplaceable.

187
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: But other than that, I don't feel the way at all.

188
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: It sounds like it was to leave. This is the

189
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: uh we Mark, you can go if you want. I

190
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: don't want to go. But I mean that's you know,

191
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: you're putting me in a position saying that I feel irreplaceable.

192
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: They could fire any one of us at any moment.

193
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: The world would continue to spend on that. On that

194
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: positive note, we uh we move on to the Week

195
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: five preview. We got a lot to get to and

196
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: by the way, this this is our second of three

197
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: podcasts this week, our Sunday show, our flagship show, like

198
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: to call it. We'll be recapping all of the uh

199
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: week five games that you can see on YouTube. That's

200
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: on video. These shows are audio only. Greg and West

201
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: did a spectacular job. I thought I haven't heard it yet,

202
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: but I will in the future recapping that barn burner

203
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: in Houston, Texans cults hassle back Barnes were literally burned

204
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: in the Slovak v mallet and you know, pull back

205
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the curtain a little bit, like we're taping this before

206
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: that that game. But I'm gonna go out on a

207
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: limb and say, you guys aren't gonna have like fourteen

208
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: minutes to chew on a game like you usually do.

209
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: Give me a break. How wasn't veiled off? I'm just saying,

210
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: unless Andrew phillis Reid or something. The Thursday night games

211
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: have been great this year so far. Everyone used to

212
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: dog them. They've been very well that might stop tonight

213
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: we'll find out, yes, very true. So it is time now,

214
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: you know we're getting This is a really meat and

215
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: potatoes show in the sense that we're here to talk

216
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: about the games to be played. How many buy teams?

217
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: By the way, this week four four So thirty two

218
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: minus four is twenty eight divided by two fourteen games.

219
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: The game was played on Thursday night. There will be

220
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: a game played on Monday night. Just let you know.

221
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: So what's the math. Well, we're gonna be talking about

222
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: thirteen games. Not bad for a guy who got a

223
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: thirty eight on his math thirty nine eight mandated New

224
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: York State Regents test. It's hard. It is difficult for me.

225
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into let's let's start going. Let's

226
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: start with the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Falcons. Will go

227
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: through the early games and then the late games. The Redskins,

228
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: of course, uh two and two, and the Falcons undefeated

229
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: at four and oh and looking to stay undefeated against

230
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: the frisky Redskins team that you know we expected. I

231
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: think in our preseason power what we just released our

232
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: second power poll, they were thirty two. They were the

233
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: last team in the league according to us. Now we

234
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: moved them up about ten spots. We believe a little

235
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: bit in the Redskins, but Chris Westley top twenty. Now

236
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: do we believe west that the Falcons um will go

237
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: down at the hands of the Redskins in the spot

238
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: in Atlanta? I mean in a town in eight. I

239
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: don't think the Redskins are going into eight town and

240
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: coming away with a victory. That Falcons are a good

241
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: football team. The Falcons get better every week. It's like

242
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: the defense gets a little more confident each week. I think,

243
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, they got away with a couple of close

244
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: wins early, but I think the offense, really both sides

245
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: of the ball have improved each and every week for Atlanta.

246
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: I may I think this is one of this might

247
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: be top one or two best games of the week, really,

248
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: because I believe in the Redskins in more. After watching

249
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: them on game pass, I thought, you you love Kirk Cousins,

250
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: You do well, I know Greg, and Greg got very

251
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: upset at me on text message because he's telling me

252
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: how amazing Sam Bradford was. And I was two and

253
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: a half quarters into the game and Kirk Cousins fight

254
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: over Kirk Cousins. I wasn't remotely upset when you were.

255
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: When everyone anyone deigns to disagree with Mark on any opinion,

256
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: he thinks the world's attacking him. I mean, I just think,

257
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Mark, how about that big, bigger, overall criticism

258
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: of you right there, let's get into that. Yeah, exactly. No.

259
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: I think I think the Washington know is a completely

260
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: different team than they were a year ago. And Cousins

261
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: is I'm not saying Cousins is. Tom Brady Jr. But

262
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: he's more than capable of pulling off some upsets for

263
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: this team. They've only allowed five sacks all year. I mean,

264
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: their line is completely different than it was last year.

265
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: The rushing the passer, I think Preston Smith, there's rookie linebacker,

266
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: has been interesting too. I mean they've got some pieces

267
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: they didn't have a year ago, and this is the

268
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: kind of team that could give it land Am more

269
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: of a challenge. Murphy won that game for them. Trent

270
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: over that game a little bit in the last five

271
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: six minutes of the game after the game was already won.

272
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: He had three sacks or what in the last thirty

273
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: seconds of the game. He had a good fourth quarter

274
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: before that, And I agree that Cousins and the coaching

275
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: staff has done a terrific job. Forty one minute's time

276
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: of possession last week. I mean, they they do exactly

277
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: what they want to do, which is have these long

278
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: drives and they don't ask Cousins to do much. He

279
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: almost never goes downfield, and when he does, it doesn't

280
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: work out very well. But he hits those third and

281
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: five passes. He knows where he's going with the ball.

282
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: They've been very good on third down. In the running game,

283
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: we've talked about they've they've taken turns. Who has been good,

284
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris, Chris tom it's a very deep running Chris

285
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: Thompson stepping up. Speaking of their running game, I mean

286
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Matt Jones. We were talking about before the Thursday night

287
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Giant game that Jones could be a Rookie of the

288
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: Year guy. He has struggled at bit, struggled a little

289
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: bit the last two weeks, had just seven carries and

290
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: just one in the second half against the Eagles. Is

291
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: it a mistake not to have him more involved? Is

292
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: he a guy you want to feed more. I know

293
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent back there, but they kind

294
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: of took him out of it. I'm not worried about

295
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: him at all. I mean, I think part of the

296
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: fact they have Alfred Morris and and you know they've

297
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: got more than just weren't running back if they have

298
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: to play Thompson on passing down because he's so much

299
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: better than the other two in that situation. I think

300
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: Jones could be a good third down back. But Thompson

301
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: has been a revelation that this is the backfield that

302
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles expected to have three deep, a nice third

303
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: down back. I mean, it's one of the better groups

304
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: in the league. You're right that they've been impressed. I

305
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: think they'll really miss Jordan Read if he doesn't play

306
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: in this game though. We speaking of time and possession

307
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: number one and number two in the league in this

308
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: game in time West, you know what I hold in

309
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: my right hand. Get rid of that thing. The NFL

310
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: network research packet not fun. Whoever said have fun tonight

311
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: above me? I used the last season. You might remember

312
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: I played Europe the Final Countdown, but then Europe went

313
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: and sold out to Geico, and we've had to listen

314
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: to that song forty seven times per game for every

315
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: NFL game. So Europe, you're gone, Wang Chung, you're in anyway.

316
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: I never thought i'd hear those words from the NFL

317
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: media research packet. And this is when I was nine.

318
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: Superstitious was number one in the MTV charts for like

319
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: straight months. No one remembers. I thought he only wrote

320
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: that one song. I never I'd never watched that critically. Like,

321
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: if they told me Superstitious was the number one song

322
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: in the world for three months, I said, well, that

323
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: that's true. Bedroom childhood bedroom headphones on mouthing the words

324
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: to Europe. You're up a power band. Well they are

325
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: power hair band. Asia was a power band. Let's not

326
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: get off. Let's not get off the topic that I

327
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: hold in my hand, the NFL research packet, the bane

328
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: of Less's existence. But this is an interesting note about

329
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: the Falcon's offense, which has obviously done great. But Roddy

330
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: White has been interesting. How about this that West He's

331
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: led wide receivers this season with two thirty five snaps played,

332
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: but it's only been targeted. I guess how many times

333
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: have been targeted snaps thirteen times. Well, he went two

334
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: games where in back to back games he had total

335
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: target He complained that this week Roddy did said I'm

336
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: not just out there for blocking, I'm getting open. It

337
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: shows how good they are that Roddy White is looks

338
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: just about done and it doesn't matter. Making pretty good,

339
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Never been good that good until this year.

340
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're very similar. If somebody Matt Ryan

341
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: and they'll be good. They lead the league and ten

342
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: played drives. I've never seen a guy do less to

343
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: get a forty two to nothing lead than Matt Ryan

344
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: last week. Not that he played poorly, he was just

345
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: kind of out there doing like a Kurt there balanced

346
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: type a job. That they're that good a team. They

347
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: could take a forty two nothing lead without much for

348
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. This is how you know, by the way

349
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: that Mark has a love for the Redskins. Here is

350
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: that a team that was thirty two in our power

351
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: pul last month, you're now picking them to go into

352
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: an Atlanta and beat an undefeated team that would be

353
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: a hero pick if Greg didn't turn on us. Well,

354
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: I believe in this. I mean I I really think

355
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: this is going to happen. And also I am last,

356
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: dead last in the picks. By the way, behind me,

357
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: there three games behind West or four games behind West,

358
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: and it's Week five. You don't have to go crazy

359
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: in these two games behind the fifth worst person is

360
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: not something that I'm striving to be. You are. That happened,

361
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be right, it's not. It's not a

362
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: crazy upset. The problem is your quarterback throws like unul Rico.

363
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: When he's trying to throw it far. It's like a

364
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: little pop culture care I I thought the same thing,

365
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: like I know you just watched them last night, and

366
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: I watched him after the Rams game and fell for him.

367
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: I fell for Redskins fever. And then Kirk Cousins went

368
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: into the Giants game and have one of the worst

369
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: games by a quarterback all year. All right, next up

370
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: a battle between two one and three teams. But they

371
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: are not teams you would say are going in the

372
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: same direction. The Browns are one in three but have

373
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: the worst defense and football statistically right now. Um, not

374
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: playing very well, obviously. And then the Ravens, who also

375
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: one in three, also with their backs against the wall

376
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: this season, but just had and yes they got a

377
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: little lucky, of course, maybe a lot lucky, beat the

378
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: Steelers in Pittsburgh on Thursday night to get in one three,

379
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: get to one in three, And Mark, Um, you are

380
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: I personally and this isn't official until you announced that,

381
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: I thought that you were embargo or temporary band or

382
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: whatever you call it. Um. Conscious uncoupling of the Browns

383
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: ended on Sunday when you were watching the game on

384
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: your TV at your cubicle. Um. But I did a

385
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: radio spot in Cleveland yesterday and it was amazing how

386
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: negative that town is about the Browns right now. To

387
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: the point where he kept on the guy and he

388
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: was I can't remember the host's name right now, but

389
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: he did a nice job. But every question was like,

390
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: how do people view us from outside Cleveland? Is it

391
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: that negative? Is there any hope? And I was like,

392
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell this guy. Well, I mean,

393
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: but it's not ill placed because if you've watched all

394
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: four Browns games, they can't stop the run, they're not

395
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: running the ball very well, they don't have a quarterback

396
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: Josh McCown actually, and I know he's and it makes sense.

397
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: He's very low on Greg's CUB rankings. But back to

398
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: back yard games and played well against the Chargers, but

399
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: he played awful. What he did against the Chargers have

400
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: played a very good Gameleg's gonna give you a talking to,

401
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: by the way, because Greg's big on branding and it's

402
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: the QB Index QB Index. What did he call it,

403
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: QB rankings. Well, there's a hashtag QB rank So to

404
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: that point, first of all, are you you're back in

405
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: a little bit now after the few weeks off? Not really.

406
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I I'm a listen, I'm a Browns fan,

407
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: but I'm not emotionally tugged into this game. This team

408
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: week to week because if you look at their schedule,

409
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: they are heat seeking a two and fourteen seasons. So

410
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: it's not I'm not going to ride this ship where

411
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: three Sundays out of the entire two thousand and fifteen

412
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: season or even mildly pleasant. I think offensively they haven't

413
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: been great, but they've probably been a little better than

414
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: you could expect. It's really been Mike Petton's defense overall,

415
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: other than the Titans game, that's been a big that

416
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: will get pet and fired too because that they do.

417
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: Let's say they even play a little better and they

418
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: go five and eleven or something like that. Um, maybe

419
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: he keeps the job and gets a third year. But

420
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: if the defense stays bad, that's his calling card and

421
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: he's got to get more involved and take care of that,

422
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: or they have there's no reason to keep him. Well,

423
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: forget five and eleven, why not go two and three.

424
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean this, I'm surprised the Ravens are a heavy

425
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: favorite in this game. To me, the Ravens are very

426
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: lucky to have beaten Michael Vick, or else they'd be

427
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: oh and four. I think they're a team that gets

428
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: down to the wire every week. The Browns are turning

429
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 1: into one of those teams too, And that's got that's

430
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: what I expect that of this game. Yeah, they don't.

431
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: The Browns typically the Jets game did not go well,

432
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: but they're not getting blown out. They're staying close. But

433
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: they are one in thirteen against the Ravens. And there

434
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: is a connective tissue to that. It's Harbor and Flacco.

435
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: They found a way to be Cleveland over and over.

436
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: A little believe Landmark, you took the Browns in this game? Well,

437
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: because I don't think that it's I think the Ravens

438
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: have plenty of flaws. And you know, when's the last

439
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: time the Browns went into a game with the better

440
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: skill position talent than their opponent? Is that even when

441
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: they had maybe when they had Gordon come Akin. Is

442
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens number one receiver? Is Gilmore playing for Baltimore?

443
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: Do we know? Right now? I would say that's close.

444
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Flacco is Gary Barnage is out playing Crockett Gilmore. Flacco

445
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: is the anti Eli Manning right now. Eli Manning, to

446
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: his credit, has been got metronome this year. He's basically

447
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: the same player every week of b minus. Flacco is

448
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: so wildly up and down the entire career. Yeah, and

449
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: depending on the week, depending on the quarters, if you

450
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: get a bad Flacco, maybe you win. Isaiah Crowell and

451
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson first Cleveland back since Lee Sugs and William

452
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: Green in two thousand four to go over each over

453
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: one yards from scrimmage in the game. I think Duke

454
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: Johnson is something they didn't have to start the year,

455
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: and he's he's doing what they what they wanted him

456
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: to do, and that is a plus for their offense

457
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: because they don't they just don't have that talent. Moving on,

458
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: here's perhaps the game of the week. The Seattle Seahawks

459
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: two and two h fortunate to win Monday, but they

460
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: got the job done at home against the lines the

461
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: polivin uh in the win lost column. And now they

462
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: had to Cincinnati to face the ben Gals who are

463
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: four and oh looking great, looking tremendous. And you know,

464
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis, by the way, is an idiot. Well was

465
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: that Mark? Well, Marvin Lewis is an idiot? Well, I'd

466
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: like to say that's out of context, but I don't

467
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: know how else you can frame what I just said.

468
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 1: There many months ago anyway, So yeah, the Bengals are

469
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: four and oh and now they get the Seahawks greg

470
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: who clearly on Monday, we know they haven't turned the

471
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: corner and they're not the Seahawks yet, And we don't

472
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: even know if Marsha Lynch is playing. It looks like

473
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a game time decision. Again, this seems

474
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: like a really tough assignment here for Pete Carl's team, right,

475
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: it does for a team that's not the same on

476
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: the road under Pete Carroll and definitely is not the

477
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: same on the road in the first half of the year.

478
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: This is usually when they struggle. I mean, I'm excited.

479
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: This is definitely the game of the week, I think.

480
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a big spot to see kind of

481
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: what Seattle team shows up, especially the offensive line, because

482
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't think Russell Wilson has made improvised, improvisational place

483
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: as consistent as as ever, like he's that's their whole offense.

484
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if that works against a good defense

485
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: like the Bengals. They are a good defense. Geno Atkins

486
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: is on the All Pro team for the quarter pool

487
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: mark that Chris Wessling All Pro tem NFL dot Com

488
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: Slash All Pro Bang pac Man Jones is a reserve

489
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: on that team too. They've got some interesting defense. How

490
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: we doing on the end around Vanity r L that's

491
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: coming this week and around and sponsored now you're always,

492
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, very into sponsored. The thing with the Seahawks,

493
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: though I don't know, their defense still could be just

494
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: as good as ever been. I think Michael Bennetts having

495
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: the best season of his career. I think you know

496
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: we've we're calling the Broncos the best defense in the league.

497
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are looking like that defense. The thing you

498
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: notice watching them and you see what the Falcons. Maybe

499
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: it's the new moneyball is tackling. There was a big

500
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,479
Speaker 1: there was a big article about it last year. How

501
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks teach tackling. They're like the best tackling team ever.

502
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: They also don't money involves the most basic playing football

503
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: going back, because amazing tackling team. They teach a strike

504
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: zone from the chest to the hip. They want people

505
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: to hit hit him in the hip and they I've

506
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: seen Pete Garrel videos. They do stress that. Doesn't everybody

507
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: stress that? No, No, I don't think so. By the

508
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: way this Andy Dalton narrative that you know, or this ascendency.

509
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: He's up to ten point two yards per attempt, which

510
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: is outrageous. Obviously. Here's a quote from Marvin Jones this

511
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: week to the Cincinnati inquir We're at a point right

512
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: now where Andy really trusts us to be there, even

513
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: if we haven't separated from the corner. He knows we're

514
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: gonna get the separation. That's what it's all about. Just

515
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: running homie, go go get it first. I love the

516
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: idea of Dalton, not that he said it, but being

517
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: like home he go get it. Yeah, he definitely didn't

518
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: flaming red hair dropping home. It's exactly what's this is.

519
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: It's amazing. This offense is fun to watch. They have

520
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: a lot of Marvin's on there. You said it's your

521
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: favorite team to watch. What's not to like this guy?

522
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: First of all? You know, I have some Dalton leanings.

523
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: This guy rising from the dead. This is rising from

524
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: the dead. Where is he on the QB Index right now?

525
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: Remember five? I brought it up in the in the

526
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: QB Index this week that if this continues, we are

527
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: going to have to think about the Dalton scale. I'm

528
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: not ready to eliminate the Dalton scale because it's four weeks.

529
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: And but based on just these four weeks, you can't

530
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: argue that Andy Dalton is you know Smith scale. By

531
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: the way, speaking of that, like where are us on

532
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: the p scale? If Andy Dalton hangs you know, three

533
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: or four touchdowns on the Seahawks and they moved to five,

534
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: and oh I would be up to like nine point eight,

535
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: because this is this game is a real litmus test

536
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: for Andy Dalton, who his entire career, his bugaboo has

537
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: been dealing with pressure, whether it's a big game pressure

538
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: or pressure in the pocket, and this year he has

539
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: not been pressured in the pocket whatsoever. So that's why

540
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: he's playing great. Want to see how he does against

541
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Considered me, Miles Davis n to be clear,

542
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: what is the scale even about? In this case? It's

543
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: about how scared I am the west of us will

544
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: be abolished by the Bengals this year, and west of this,

545
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: of course the annual tradition that the Bengals lose. It's

546
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: my favorite. Every hammered you're still gonna get very hammered.

547
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: So it's still a party. It's only one time ever,

548
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: I did that West does not believe that the Bengals

549
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: get this done. He thinks the Seahawks will prove the

550
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: three and two as this Connor or I've seen the

551
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Bengals in this spot do it over and over and

552
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: no a f C North has ever started five and

553
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I said at the end of I tweeted

554
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: at the end of that Seahawks game, like, it's amazing

555
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: how many games like that they have won, and Seahawks

556
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: fans over sensitive took it as a shot. I meant

557
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: that as a compliment. I mean, they just have a

558
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: knack for doing that again and again. Reminds me a

559
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: lot of the early era Patriots. Every team leaves there

560
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: thinking like we should have beat them, but it doesn't happen.

561
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: The late nineties New York Yankees like that, moving on

562
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: from one undefeated team to another. The Green Bay Packers

563
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: at four and oh now, welcome to St. Louis Rams

564
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: two and two coming off a great Listen West, what

565
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: West didn't think much of it. Let's be honest, it's not.

566
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: The Cardinals basically gift wrapped them the game. But at

567
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: the same time, the Rams, that's a big win on

568
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: the road. To get to two and two, and now

569
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: they've got an even even tougher task at lambeau Field,

570
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: where the Packers are nearly invincible. Chris Westling, what are

571
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: you seeing here? I see blow out because that's what

572
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: happens in lambau Field. Blowout. I mean the Rams, they

573
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: should be very proud of what they did. And you

574
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: know what's going on in Indie with the front office divide,

575
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: that can't be happening in St. Louis because every part

576
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: of their plan is coming together right now. You draft

577
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, you draft Tavon Austin, you trade for Nick Fools,

578
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: you build this great defense with all this talent, and

579
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: that has to be the most inspiring victory of the

580
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: less need Jeff Fisher era last week's I I agree,

581
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: because I don't think the Cardinals gift wrapped it at all.

582
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: I think it was a game where the Rams really

583
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: played their A plus game, the Cardinals played a B

584
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: and in Folds made four very difficult throw I mean

585
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: every play that he made that won that game, the

586
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: deep past to Austin, the touchdown at the end of

587
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: the game against the perfect blitz, I mean he dialed

588
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: up a beauty. You have to just give give them

589
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. And I also give credit to

590
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: on the defense, the players that don't get a lot

591
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: of attention, which was the back seven. I thought the

592
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are very aggressive and that's why I think they

593
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: have a chance in this game. I I also maybe

594
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: thought a little high more highly of the Rams than

595
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: you did coming out of the Cardinals game. I didn't

596
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: think I didn't think the Rams played a great game.

597
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: The Cardinals are just a better the Cardinals. I came

598
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: out of that game thinking they're even better than I

599
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: did the week before. The Cardinals are have our a

600
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: team with no flaws. Well, I mean everything changes for

601
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: the Rams though. If you know two weeks ago you

602
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: had Benny Cuneyham and Portray Mason. If Gurley becomes this

603
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: player that certainly looks like he could be, Nick Foles

604
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: is in a much better place. All your receivers in

605
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: a better place. They're going to stay in the field

606
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: longer and give your deep That's the key. That's their

607
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: only chance really. With Aaron Rodgers and by the way,

608
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: from the NFL Media Research packet, Aaron Rodgers is forty

609
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: one and nine career started at home at Lambo nine

610
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns picks. We didn't know Aaron Rodgers was good at home.

611
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Just you know, that's just a reminder of what they're

612
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: up against here. And by the way, we talked about

613
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher or we talked about how Aaron Rodgers or

614
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: West you said, how he's taking his game to another level,

615
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: including snapped hard counts and getting teams to jump outside.

616
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher using an air horn this week to simulate uh,

617
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers snap count. Oh that's savvy, Jeff Fisher. He's

618
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: just counting down the days to l A. I think

619
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: it happened in a two minutes them up. I'm not kidding, No,

620
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: I think he was. We're going to be alert this

621
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: week and he blew up a meeting with an airhorn.

622
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: We've got our headlines from the future every week on

623
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: Torture Fridays on NFL Now, if if if you folks

624
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: ever watch NFL Now, and my my headline is the Rams,

625
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, take care of business in this game. Pull

626
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: off another big upset headline. Also, also that sounds a

627
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: lot like a pick. And you retired from making quick

628
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: or quick let's just make I'm contracted to make a

629
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: headline from the future, and that was just what the

630
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: future showed me. Amongst the people that are still picking games,

631
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: we all picked the Packers. Moving on the Chicago Bears

632
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: and one of three. Gotta win against the Raiders at

633
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: home with Jay Cutler, a gutty heroic performance by Mr Cavalery, Uh,

634
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: getting the Bears in the wind column at one of three.

635
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: Now they go to Kansas City to face the Chiefs,

636
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: and I would say that the Bears are in a

637
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: lot of trouble. The Chiefs are great home team, the

638
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: crowd is great and all that stuff, but at the

639
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: bottom line is the Chiefs are given up thirty points

640
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: three straight weeks, and uh, you know, I I kind

641
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: of mark, I kind of still think this team is

642
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, and they just got banged by the

643
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: schedule a little bit and some bad luck. Um. But

644
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm not gonna go crazy. You're

645
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: one in three and you've lost three straight games. They

646
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: didn't give up thirty plus points once last season. I mean,

647
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: the defense is fundamentally not where it was a year ago.

648
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: Some of it maybe the schedule, but you sort of

649
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: are who you are on some level. And they're just

650
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean Broncos, Packers, Bengals and back to back to Bee.

651
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: That's Bronco's offense is not a hard matchup. I mean,

652
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: the Broncos offense overall is a below average. None of

653
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: those teams has lost the game. That's fair as a

654
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: team because I'm just saying defensive, Wait, how did they

655
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: get How did the Chiefs give give up thirty points

656
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: in that game? Too? Was offensive fumble recovered return for

657
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Yeah, it wasn't really the deep that's a

658
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: little bit of defense played well for most of the game,

659
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: but then the next two weeks when you're playing some

660
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: of the best offense in link, there's no rule that

661
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: you just have to give up thirty five points in

662
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: four and fifty yards. That that's what bad defense is

663
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: an interesting role. Well, but you know where none of

664
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: us are impressed by the what the Chiefs have done,

665
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: but we all picked them to beat the Bears because

666
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: al right, despite Cutler being still is a very bad team. Well,

667
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: I think I think when you talk about picks, the

668
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs has still have one of the best home field

669
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: advantages in the league, and we haven't seen the Bears

670
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: go out and surprise us with the game. I mean, yeah,

671
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: they hold court at home, fine, But I mean the Bears.

672
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: What special about Well? They played the three best teams

673
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 1: in the league, arguably the first three weeks of the season,

674
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Arizona in Seattle two of those without you know,

675
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: Jim Jake Cutler. They take care of business and reader

676
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: they're they're a team. I think we're still figuring out

677
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: and no one wants no one would ever dare to

678
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: say anything positive about Jay Color But oh, by the way,

679
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: he's looked fine this year. He's played well enough. Who

680
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: is the better quarterback in this game, Chris, who would

681
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: you rather have? I would rather have Alex. I would

682
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: definitely rather have Jacoba better this. Alex Smith is dead

683
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: last in in QB. Alex Smith is playing. But Jay

684
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: Cutler's Jay Cutler. And despite your repeated attempts to tell

685
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: us he's not bad, he gets coaches fired every other year.

686
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: Terback under Adam Gaze, who was his new coordinator, played

687
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: pretty well this year. He's due to I'm crashing back

688
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: down to earth and embarrassing fashion. The Chiefs are getting

689
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: forked this week if they lose to the Bears. I

690
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: don't even think we would have to take a vote.

691
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: Moving on, and let's talk more one in three football,

692
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saint No Lands Saints. That's the regional

693
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: dialect um. They got in the win column on Sunday

694
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 1: night with that overtime win over the Cowboys Drew Brees

695
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: to C. J. Spiller to end it. Now they go

696
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: to Philly. This is a tough game to figure out

697
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: because he got the Eagles also one in three stink

698
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: bomb Central so far this season for the offense. So

699
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: kind of a wide open game between two disappointing teams.

700
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: Mark your initial thoughts. Two of the worst coach teams

701
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: in the league right now. WHOA No One gets more

702
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: credit than Chip Kelly over the past couple of years

703
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: for being an innovator. Bach I don't think that he

704
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: blamed himself correctly for not for poor play calling on

705
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: first and second down, putting his team into a crap

706
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: situation on third down over and over. And the other

707
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,479
Speaker 1: player that gets more credit than he should just because

708
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: every time he does anything, Sam Bradford is turning the

709
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: corner and bottom line, Sam Bradford has been an absolute

710
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: disappointment more time than less because that's nothing to do

711
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: with it is every time Sam Bradford does anything, articles

712
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: are written, No all of us. Everyone has killed Sam

713
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: brad for this year. They are the biggest tire fire

714
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: in the year. He's one of He's been one of

715
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: the worst quarterbacks in the league. No one would argue that,

716
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: all right, But I mean I feel like Bradford is

717
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: credited what he does and it's like, oh, the Eagles

718
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: are just a game away from scoring forty points. It's

719
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: like they're not a good football team right now. And

720
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: part of it is their defense too. I mean, it's

721
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: what part of the Eagles can you look at and say, yes,

722
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: they've met our expectations. Their run defense is outstanding. I

723
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: think their defense overall as totally met expectations. I think

724
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: they've played pretty well. That the offense has been one

725
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: of the worst five or six groups in the league.

726
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: And I think, what you what, I'm not breaking on it.

727
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: It's correctly, but their bottom barrel right now. But you

728
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: didn't like was that I said Bradford had by far

729
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: his best two quarters and I would throw in, you know,

730
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: the last drive of the first half, which was great

731
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: because he had about four or five beautiful throws, some

732
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: nice escapability in the pocket, and he and they put

733
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: up about twenty points and whatever it was, five or

734
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: six drives. So if you were an Eagles fan and

735
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: hoping they somehow turn the corner, that looked like a

736
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly offense for thirty minutes, they just didn't have

737
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: the ball. That the Redskins had the ball so much,

738
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: and we're I think everyone kind of hesitates to call

739
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: call the fight with the Eagles, and this offense is

740
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: not going to do it. It's a huge bus fire. Everybody,

741
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: get get rid of everybody. But if they can't put

742
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: up thirty points against the Saints in their building, I'm

743
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: i'm I would be confident saying this team is an

744
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: outright disaster and they're not coming back. And the one thing,

745
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: and Kelly always defends the time of possession that it

746
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: absolutely doesn't matter that we don't hold onto the ball.

747
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 1: I like teams like the Falcons and Redskins that hold

748
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: onto the ball for forty plus minutes in good games,

749
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: and when the when the Eagles have held it for

750
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: less than twenty forget Chip Kelly their own six in

751
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: those games. And it also pisces off your defense that's

752
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: out there on the field all day long getting shoot up. Well,

753
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: they got tired last week. I think that was absolutely

754
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: a factor in the game. I think it's just the

755
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: off the offensive line. It's hard to really even describe

756
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: how bad they are, Like they they a free rusher

757
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: gets in every other run play that it's a five

758
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: six yard I mean, it's just you just let's see

759
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: that in the NFL where there's that man and Chip

760
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: Kelly came into this season with the oldest offensive line right,

761
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: trades away some of his better linemen and hasn't drafted

762
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: a new lineman in the last two drafts. Something's got

763
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: to give in this game. The Eagles generate the fewest

764
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: yards per drive in the NFL and the Saints allow

765
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: the most yards per drive in the I think you're

766
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: gonna not like this the narrative coming out of this

767
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: game if you don't like it now, because this, to me,

768
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: it's a fascinating one in three versus one in three games.

769
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna turn their season around playing the Saints defense.

770
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: Is the rest be to get some mark I'm a

771
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: little surprised you picked the Eagles here, well, because the

772
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: Saints are just were talked about the Eagles, but the

773
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: Saints defense is exactly what Greg just talked about. Everyone's

774
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: getting well against the Saints defense. And yeah it's in Philly.

775
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: We all picked the Eagles. Let's just put a little

776
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: bow before we move on on the Luke McCown Verizon campaign.

777
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: By the way, let's step back. Some of those backups

778
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: would really shine. Let's take a step back now. Drew

779
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: Brees back in the lineup, not even on the injury

780
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: report this week, so the shoulder issue, I guess is resolved. Um,

781
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: and let's face it, those Verizon suits are thrilled. I mean,

782
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: it couldn't have gone better. Not only did Luke McCown

783
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: come in and he got all the all the pub

784
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: and all the publicity and all the positive vibes. He

785
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: played well. They didn't win, but he played well. Now

786
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: he's back on the bench and he proves that the

787
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: Verizon backup generators can do the exact same thing that

788
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: Luke McCown can do, which is be competent and dependable

789
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: if needed. Uh, kudos, I'm perfect. I'm sure Drew Brees

790
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: saw some of them. Campaign. I'm I'm getting emotionally moving on.

791
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: Oh you want to talk more one of three teams,

792
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: because I got more for you. The Jacksonville Jaguars are

793
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: one in three and now they face a one in

794
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: three Tampa Bay Bucks team. Oh this is a terrible game. Ah,

795
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: this is just bad. I like watching, you know, backguards.

796
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why I can't talk to myself answer

797
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: this one. Uh, Greg, I'll let you Greg. You talked

798
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: about this game because two young quarters. I'd always rather

799
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: watch a game with two young quarterbacks who can throw

800
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: the ball deep, who can even they can throw it far? No,

801
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: but they do every game Borders has even a bad

802
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: bad ones. I think he's showing progress, and I think

803
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: he puts up four to five plays a game that

804
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: are really impressive and a lot of quarterbacks can't make,

805
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: and that you could really say the same thing for Winston,

806
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: who's quietly, I think he's been. He's been about what

807
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: you would expect so far. I mean, Winston has not

808
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: been a disaster on any level. And Bordles last week

809
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: might have played two games that are unmitigated disasters. The

810
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: first game. In the last game, I would say, I

811
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: would say that Winston, part of the problem is you've

812
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 1: got one of the worst offensive lines in the league

813
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: in front of you. And that's probably true of the

814
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars too, which is good for either young quarterback Boardles

815
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: last week looks good to me, I thought, I don't

816
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: know if that's true about the Jaguars, like that's the reputation,

817
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: but this this year, at least, I don't think that's

818
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: been a huge problem. I I definitely have a board.

819
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: I have Bordles fever. I mean, I I bell I believe.

820
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: I believe that he was gonna make the leap. Connor

821
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: wrote that piece, but I would have written written it

822
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: if he didn't. And uh so I'm watching him closely

823
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: and I like what I see. For I'm not that

824
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: excited to watch this game, but I do think the

825
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: Jaguars will be frisky if they get Julius Thomas and

826
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: the albino tiger back in the lineup, because I don't

827
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: think Thomas he has not been cleared yet. He got

828
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: cleared for limited practice and has finally started catching passes.

829
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: It's got the got the cast up, but he's still

830
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: not fully cleared, so I think more likely would see

831
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: him the week after, but he is going in the

832
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: right direction. At least I have a. Unless anybody else

833
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: has something to say on this game. I have a

834
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: bit of assessler um both teams will lose this game.

835
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: NFL history will be made in Tampa, that weird stadium

836
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: with the ship. Can't even doubt you on that one, alright.

837
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: Moving on, the Buffalo Bills are two and two. This

838
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: is AH the last of the early games two and two.

839
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: Now they head to Tennessee UH Nashville specifically to face

840
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota and the one and two Titans, coming off

841
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: of by UH the Rex Ryan Bills, which against the

842
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: Giants a complete disaster in terms of penalties. They're actually

843
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: on pace I believe. I won't cite the research guy,

844
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: but I believe I saw there on pace for the

845
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: most penalty he's ever through UH four weeks. So there's

846
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: there's some issues right now with discipline. That's what's new

847
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: with the Rex Ryan team. But they've also in two

848
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: of the four weeks this season, West looked like one

849
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the A f C. I

850
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: have a bad feeling about this matchup for Marcus Mariota.

851
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: He has the highest sack rate in the NFL by

852
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: by quite a bit, and you're going up against the

853
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: Bills defensive front and Rob Bryan. I feel like Rob

854
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: Ryan just gonna throw the kitchen sink at Mariota. But

855
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: one thing about the Bills without Sammy Watkins on the

856
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: field last week, that their passing game was was not

857
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: itself on any level. Doesn't sound like he's probably gonna play.

858
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: There's a there's a chance Lashawn McCoy is out, Carlos

859
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: Williams has a concussion and doesn't sound like he's gonna play.

860
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: McCoy is likely out, and so you've stripped offense and

861
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: all sorts of his booby depends. Dixon would be the starter,

862
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: who I don't hate Dixon, but that's not your plan

863
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: in week five, and I went with the Titans here

864
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: because I want to see what Mariota can do. I

865
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: feel like we haven't watched him in for four years

866
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 1: at this point after the bye week. I like Mariota.

867
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,479
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a tricky game. Rex Ryan

868
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: has been sounding confidence shocker, saying that the kid he's

869
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: not going to have his way with us Mariota, and

870
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: he does have a Rex says every time, and he

871
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: just did. He rolls out his buffalo Sabers Jersey. Whenever

872
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: he does that, they lose. By the way, he's really

873
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: gonna have his way with us. Mark, if we still

874
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: have a Hero picks, you would have one on the Titans.

875
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: Why not? I do too, because because of the injuries

876
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, it's a dangerous game. I think Mariota is

877
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: right now a better than average starting quarterback until he

878
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: proves otherwise. To me, I think he's he's a good

879
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: NFL starter. And Buffalo for all the like as impressive

880
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: as they've been in their two wins. Man, if they

881
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: lost this game, I mean, Doug Morone was getting more

882
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: wins than Rex Ryan was getting with a lot less talent.

883
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: And just going back to the penalties thing. Seven penalties

884
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: through four games, seven which is the third most, is

885
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: the actual that since nineteen fifty if they kept this

886
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: pace up, uh, I mean that is that can't you're

887
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: gonna if you're a team that's not great. If you're

888
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: a good team and you're gonna play close games and

889
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: you're getting penalized twelve times a game, you're banks. And

890
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: it's not one of those stats where it's like it's

891
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: a fluke. It came mostly from one game like Mariota

892
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: did get sacked was its eight times against Cleveland. That

893
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: didn't help that number. But the Bills have been killing

894
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: themselves with lack of discipline in all four games. Well,

895
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: I think the recipe is out there for how to

896
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: beat them. I want to see this bill. The Bill's

897
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: defense needs to be more dominant for I think the

898
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: team to really be. They're not gonna count on scoring

899
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: thirty points like they did the first three weeks, and

900
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: I think the recipe is out there to beat him.

901
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: It's exactly what the Giants and the Patriots did five wide.

902
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: Get the ball out of your hands as fast as

903
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: you can. They have to show that they can solve that.

904
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: And the Titans had a bye week to install a

905
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: game plan that copies those teams. Ken wizen Hunt knows

906
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: what to do with a bye week? What does that mean? Well,

907
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: look at what look at the masterpiece the unfarrold in

908
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: week was like, well, I'm to say, and I'm sure

909
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: there's no hard working, no you know as a strategy,

910
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: sen top your list, I send some sarcasm. Well, to

911
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: be honest, he has surprised me this year with what

912
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: you know what? Because everyone touts him as this like

913
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: quarterback whisper and but this season with Mariota, I think

914
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: he's shown more creativity than you know. I'm having flashbacks

915
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: to two years ago when you would rail on Wizzen

916
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: Hunt in Arizona. I like it because he's stunk there.

917
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you couldn't develop a quarterback in Arizona under

918
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: Wizzen Hunt. If you brought didn't develop Max, let's write

919
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: them off. Somebody on Twitter subtweeted Mark and tweeted at

920
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: Mark and West and I saying that can you tell

921
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: Mark to tone down his quote? Negative Nancy nous anytimes?

922
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: Anytime I'm sub tweeted on this podcast, I know that

923
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: it's Dan's second account. Dan needs to get a message across.

924
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: This has happened three or four times. But who am

925
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: I build ourselves. It's coming from dan second or third

926
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: fake Twitter account where he's like, oh, yesterday in the lunchroom,

927
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: someone mentioned you're being negative on the podcast. Definitely dance Asian.

928
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to look at it that way,

929
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: you can. Well, I'm feeling very sure about the fact

930
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: that I'll be right about this game. Let's go there.

931
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on to the late games the

932
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals three and one, tough home loss, uh the

933
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: greatest loss of all time, according to Chris Westling ut

934
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: three and one. Now they head to Ford Field to

935
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: face the hapless Lions, who are owing for a crushing loss,

936
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: a soul crushing loss. And this is these are the

937
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: times when you fall to Owen four and you just

938
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: had one of the worst losses in recent franchise history.

939
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: This is when it's really good and really important to

940
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: have a guy like Jim Caldwell in your build. This

941
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 1: they're fall, They're done, They're banged. Sorry you said this

942
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: is a tough game to pick. Uh, it is a

943
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: tough game. Honestly it is. No, I didn't take the lines,

944
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: but it isn't marked. Wow, uh mark a lot of

945
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: hero picks if we still had them. Yeah, it's unfortunate

946
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: that we don't. Yeah. Uh yeah, I think because I

947
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: think the lines are not terrible. We saw on Monday.

948
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't look great Monday, but they did

949
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: hang with the Seattle Seahawks, and did they get a

950
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: first down? No, I'm saying they weren't great, but I

951
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: can confirm that they were terrible. They are a terrible team.

952
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: They've been mostly competitive, and they're a bad They're a

953
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,479
Speaker 1: bad team, but they're not an OH and four team,

954
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of Bill Parcels, you are with your record.

955
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 1: Here's what they do well. They get back DeAndre Levy

956
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 1: this week. There we go and the Cardinals hypathetically they'll

957
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: do something well. Cardinals are one of the most complete

958
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, but they're not as good on

959
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 1: the road, and the Lines are a desperate team looking

960
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: for a win. So I think it could be a

961
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: close game, but I would not pick the Lines out.

962
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: One of the things John Gruden said in that Money

963
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: Night game that really hit home with me was all

964
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: their money. They need to get where all their money

965
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: is invested, and they need to get that money out.

966
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: I mean, think about they're paying forty million dollars on

967
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: a pretty small salary cap whatever it is to Matthew

968
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: Stafford and Calvin Johnson, and you're getting nine point seven

969
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: yards per catch from Calvin Johnson and you're getting mediocre

970
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: to sub He called him Danny Ammon Dola the other day.

971
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: That was per catches very ammendla like right now, not

972
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: really going down down the field, and Matthew Stafford. Their

973
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: their offense is depressing because they don't trust the offensive line.

974
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: Everything is short and the chances that Stafford gets, he

975
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: doesn't take advantage of west I. Uh, you're right. My

976
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: last uh delve into the research back it was bad.

977
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: We didn't need that Aaron Rodgers stat But this one's

978
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: good about the Lions. The Lions are the final winless

979
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: team left in the NFL. It's the eighth time they've

980
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: been the last time without a win, the most in

981
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: NFL history. But no pain for that, breaking a tie

982
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: with the Redskins, who have done so seven times. Uh.

983
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: Greg Um, you're being a smart ars, but I'm bringing

984
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: up the point. Yes, that is that's pretty painful. Thank you.

985
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: That's there are number four on the pain rankings NFL

986
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 1: dot Com. By the way, fixing to go in five

987
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: and getting blown out in their own home stadium, that

988
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: would be grim Mark. You still confident about that pick.

989
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: That's not one that comes from a place of great competence.

990
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: But you know, listen, what these these games, sometimes weird

991
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: things happen. It's gonna come down to the final play

992
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: and Detroit's gonna pull off the game, even though they

993
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: will not be the better team in the game. But

994
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, and it's part of it is if that

995
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: ever happened, we picked the Cardinals team of atl they

996
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: cannot since crowning them with that honor lose two in

997
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: a row. It's almost disloyal that you're picking against them

998
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: this week in a game they should really if you

999
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: look at how my picks have gone, you should look

1000
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: at it reverse because it's absolutely telling you that Arizona

1001
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: is gonna win. By the way, Mark, you're being very

1002
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: hard on yourself with these picks. But you did finish

1003
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: third in the nation a couple of years back, so

1004
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: you could come back. I don't know why you It

1005
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: almost seems like a little bit of a panic move

1006
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,919
Speaker 1: this week with some of these picks. But why don't

1007
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: you just trust your gut on these That's what I've done. Okay,

1008
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: what about That's what I did not do that week?

1009
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to um. This would be what

1010
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: CBS would call the game of the week. Uh, the

1011
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 1: Phil and gem Nance game, the New England Patriots against

1012
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys on CBS three and oh the Pats

1013
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 1: coming off there by two and two Cowboys. Uh. Still

1014
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: Brendan Weeden prominently involved. That's depressing. Uh some news. H

1015
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis, your boy West got a two year extension.

1016
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: So the Patriots obviously see that this is a guy

1017
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: that's not going to be a one month wonder. They

1018
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: paid him nothing. He needs a new agent. They gave

1019
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: him a six hundred thousand dollar signing bonus just for

1020
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: playing well for I take it, I'll take it. I

1021
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: hear you like that kind of party. That's like the

1022
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: contract Danny Woodhead signed where he was wildly underpaid at

1023
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: this the contract Wes Welker signed where he was wildly underpaid.

1024
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: They give these contracts. Once they see him for like

1025
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: three or four games, they know they'll take the short money.

1026
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: Dan Lewis could be a top ten back. That's that's

1027
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: a credit that organization tomorrow because they see it. They

1028
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: know once they see it and they can get in

1029
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: on it before. It's basically like here, I'm going to

1030
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 1: give you more money than you've ever had. You sure

1031
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: you don't want to take this, But they're smart people.

1032
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: They know these guys in the next five years. Yeah,

1033
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: this guy probably pondered the fact that his football career

1034
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: might be over a year ago and we kill people

1035
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: like Brian Hoyer and bad players that ultimately aren't what

1036
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: we thought, were not taking the money when they could,

1037
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: and that's what Dean Lewis did. It's not a fortune,

1038
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: But how is this not a win? The Patriots reward

1039
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: a player who deserves it, and Dean Lewis gets six

1040
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in its pocket. No, I hear you. It

1041
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: just seemed particularly low. I would have expected to for five.

1042
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,919
Speaker 1: Didn't have to give him anything too. For five would

1043
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: have been a wild deal for them. Didn't buy into

1044
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: that philosophy. He's holding out for more money. Greg's and

1045
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: and on the other side that you know this, Greg

1046
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: hard he is an idiot by the way, Yes he is.

1047
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean he's he has the decency skill. He's at

1048
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: a two point one. We talked about that today would

1049
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: have been one point one, but he was a guest

1050
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: on the podcast Wait and it was not a very

1051
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: special segment, so it didn't know he was good. Um yeah,

1052
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: But he came off suspension, uh a four games suspension

1053
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: on Monday. On Wednesday, he met with the media for

1054
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: the first time and immediately mentions that he's looking to

1055
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: go guns blazing back into action this week. Is asked

1056
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 1: about seeing Tom Brady and he he invokes the great

1057
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: Jezelle Zeselle is the proper way to pronounce it um

1058
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: and says, you know, have you seen his wife? I

1059
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: hope she comes to the game and her sister to

1060
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: just kind of creepy, uh dude humor stuff. He's just

1061
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: a bad person, and not with zero awareness that he

1062
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: just came back from a suspension in which he was

1063
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: the league found after a two month long investigation that

1064
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: he needed to go away because he was involved in

1065
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: a domestic violence incident that, by the way, also involved guns.

1066
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: So good job, Dallas Cowboys. Way to get in bed

1067
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: with a monster. Basically, you're you're absolutely right in everything

1068
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: you say. And yet I bet the I bet Rod

1069
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: Marinelli and the coaching staff they're thrilled about this week

1070
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: because they said they don't have Randy, because they have

1071
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: him back. They have Rulanda McClain added to what's been

1072
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: a decent linebacker group, and Shawn Lee was clear to

1073
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday, and it looks like he has a

1074
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: good chance to play. So it gives this defense, which

1075
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: played well the first few weeks before injuries hit at

1076
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 1: least a chance to slow down the Patriots and hanging

1077
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: this game no good, you got a few. I'm just saying,

1078
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: lead the NFL and touchdown percentage, field goal percentage, red

1079
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: zone percentage. They basically do whatever they want on AF

1080
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: You think the lines of the home team that's gonna

1081
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: get blown out this week. I think it's gonna be

1082
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I think we're talking it could be, but

1083
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking forty Burger and Brady keeps rolling and

1084
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: this could be. You know, team predict the fifty burger

1085
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: you're good at. I won't do because I don't think

1086
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: you'll do it. But I think a forty Burgers. Oh,

1087
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Dallas will be able to stay

1088
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: on the field long enough. We're giving up fifty points

1089
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: will be tough. But we talk about the return of

1090
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: Romo is one reason in this weird division, why why

1091
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: the Cowboys might still have a shot if they can

1092
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: roll the table once he returns. But you've got to

1093
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: start scoring. Brandon Weeden is not played terribly from a

1094
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: from a box scrangle, but you've got to put up

1095
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: more points there. They have a really weird split going

1096
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: on with their running game, where they're averaging over five

1097
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: yards of carrying the first half and then around two

1098
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: yards of carry in the second half, which is just bizarre.

1099
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: I think Randall has four total carries in the second

1100
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: half of the last two games. Well, maybe that's part

1101
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: of the problem. And they say they're gonna keep They're

1102
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna keep him. Losing Lance Dunbar for the season, which

1103
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: is a big loss, is a big loss for them,

1104
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: and less Kristen Michael can do what we think he's

1105
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: capable of, potentially making the lead candidate two years ago,

1106
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: maybe just four years too early. How about if here

1107
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: you liked us stats in your research, Now, I do

1108
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: love my research you. I think one of the early

1109
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: ones in that mind blowings that you know the Patriot

1110
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: to win here on Sunday, it'll be the most four

1111
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: no teams in a season in NFL history. Hit Greg

1112
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: with a Wang chung for that. People just want a

1113
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: party with that kind of information right now. That's good.

1114
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are in trouble, by the way, because they

1115
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: got there two and two now and the next three

1116
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 1: games or against teams that have a Super Bowl MVP quarterback.

1117
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: You got Brady of course, then you got Eli in

1118
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: New York. That's gonna be a really tough game. And

1119
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: then you've got the Seahawks uh in your building, So

1120
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: they are staring down the barrel at two and five

1121
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: when you look at their schedule and then you're in

1122
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: deep trouble. It's not their fault. I feel badly for them. Yeah,

1123
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: they've had absolutely terrible, worst luck of any team in

1124
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: the league. From that angle, I mean, you take the

1125
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: starting quarterback and star receiver off any one of these

1126
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl potential teams we've talked about, it couldn't happen

1127
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: to a more humble, grounded organ That's a different angle

1128
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: to look at. I mentioned staring down the barrel. I

1129
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 1: can make a gun metaphors because I haven't been involved

1130
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: in a grizzly domestic violence incident. But I don't think

1131
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: Greg hard as should um. By the way, Mark, you

1132
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: took the Cowboys in that game. What is going on

1133
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: with this week? You actually believe the Cowboys are going in?

1134
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm going with my gut. This is I remember when

1135
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: I was laughed at a year ago when I said

1136
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: Dallas would be at Seattle. I'm not I'm not really

1137
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 1: mocking you. I'm just kind of as I'm going when

1138
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: my picks go, you know, four and ten. But you know,

1139
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I if Dallas wants to save

1140
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: its season, they've got to start. They're gonna have to

1141
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: pull some upsets. And this is a tough This is

1142
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: a tough one. This is not on my part what

1143
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: you're picking Brandon Wheed and over Tom Brady. Yes, I am.

1144
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: I went to look to see picking the Cowboys over

1145
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Brandon Whedon's undefeated lifetime against Bill Belichick. Uh,

1146
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 1: here's one of the more intriguing games of the week.

1147
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: This is the four no Denver Broncos, carried by their defense.

1148
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning just along for the ride so far against

1149
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: the two ande to Oakland Raiders, a frisky team that

1150
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to get excited about, I wanted to believe in.

1151
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: And then they couldn't beat the Chicago Bears and a

1152
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: limping Jay Cutler. Uh so they fell to two and two,

1153
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: a chance to get to three and one, and now

1154
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: they have an undefeated team coming into their building. I

1155
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: do not like how this feels. Greg, how do you feel?

1156
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: I think this Broncos defense is so good that you're

1157
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to be a special offense to really move

1158
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: the ball against him, and I think you'll have a

1159
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: similar game till last week. I don't think Peyton Manning

1160
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: will make the same mistakes, but he's making a lot

1161
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,959
Speaker 1: of mental mistakes. Rewatching that game. He he struggled again

1162
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 1: in that game. Pff about the picked three or four

1163
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: more time. In addition to the physical issues he's having.

1164
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: Of course some some bad uh decision making which you

1165
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: don't Teams are blitzing them with impunity and they should

1166
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: not making them pay because Manning his rushing throws and

1167
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: he looks panicked. He's made some nice throws. I don't

1168
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: think it's all about at his arm strength. It's just

1169
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: maybe his adjusting to his new reality that he's forced.

1170
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: Doesn't that's what he's He is now to the point

1171
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: where he can't move and it's affecting his arm and

1172
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: every part of his game. You're if you're not trusting

1173
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: done three three drives last week that really stuck out

1174
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: to me, where they had third and long and they

1175
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: threw one of those bubble screens and they're just hoping

1176
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: for yak on a third and twelve play, or they

1177
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: ran the ball on third and eleven in a tight

1178
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: game and just were decided to punt and that that

1179
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: there thirty Peyton manning, you know in offense in football

1180
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 1: outsiders metrics with Peyton manning the quarter and yet the

1181
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: defense who gives up yards here and there, they're always

1182
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: just one play away, and they're always making that one

1183
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: play and from one big They're the best big play

1184
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: defense you've seen a while. As down as the Denver

1185
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: offense might be. Right now, you're telling me that the

1186
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Raiders that I know cars better and Cooper has been uh,

1187
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, as advertised so far. Latavious Murray, I don't

1188
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: see him doing well against this Denver front. I don't.

1189
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't see them being able to move the ball

1190
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: enough to score points and win this game. That's fair

1191
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: do Broncos defense is incredible, like justin Tuxon West. Well,

1192
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: of course Mark took the Raiders, by the way, but Wes,

1193
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: you also took the Raiders just because I needed a

1194
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: bold headline for our NFL. Now, second, that was very

1195
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: self serving. I wanted to write black hole sun. Oh well,

1196
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: that was worth it. Manning sent reeling by Raiders. My

1197
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: reasoning was no more uh, you know, knowledge based than that.

1198
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with anything. But whatever happened

1199
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: to Cody Latimer, Benny Fowler is ahead of Cody Lattimer

1200
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: right now. Hayton Nanny doesn't trust him to be where

1201
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be, alright. Moving on the San Francisco

1202
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: forty niners or one and three. They've been, let's face it,

1203
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: the worst team in football for three weeks running now,

1204
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: and now they go to the Metal Ends to face

1205
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: the two and two giants, who should take care of

1206
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: business here. They should get that third win, and then

1207
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: they could kick themselves when they realized that they should

1208
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: be at the least four and one and possibly five

1209
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 1: and oh in a pretty crummy division. It's not going

1210
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: to be that way, but they do have a chance

1211
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: to get over five hundred on Monday. On Sunday Night

1212
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Football in a game in which great Mark Sessler, Colin

1213
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Kaepernick will try to figure out what's going on in

1214
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,919
Speaker 1: his life. He talked to the media on Wednesday, said

1215
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't play for job security. Whether football is here

1216
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: or not, I will be fine. I go out, I

1217
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: played a win. I'm not worried about job security when

1218
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: I step in this building, which is easy to say

1219
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: when Blaine Gabbette your back up, Well, that's fair. I mean,

1220
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I the question I have is how how his teammates

1221
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: are feeling about Colin Kaepernick, because it sure didn't look

1222
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: to me that Tory Smith was too happy with him

1223
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: last week, and he had to almost he had to

1224
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: come out and basically correct reporters and correct suspicions and

1225
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: say no, no, no, you know, we're confident in our quarterback.

1226
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: But looking at him play, what is it that you're confident?

1227
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 1: Because he looks absolutely lost at see. He doesn't have

1228
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: a feel for the pocket, he doesn't have a feel

1229
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: for pressure. So that combined with he doesn't see the

1230
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: field very well, he doesn't see open receivers. That's a

1231
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: rough comment. I found a great runner. I found it

1232
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: fascinating that Jim tom Seulla acknowledged to the media that, uh,

1233
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: he had a conversation with Kaepernick after Sunday's game, in

1234
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: which Kaepernick Kaepernick acknowledged that, yeah, like that game against

1235
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Arizona was so bad. I was so terrible in that

1236
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: game that it directly led to how bad I was

1237
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: against the Packers. So there's obviously there's some head games

1238
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: going on with him right now that that he's got

1239
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: to take care of or this is not gonna get

1240
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: turned around. You gotta give credit to Greg's boys bags too,

1241
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: and the Giants run defense, which is incredible. They've allowed

1242
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: the fewest ten yard runs in the league this year.

1243
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hankins is playing great. Carrie Win comes out of

1244
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,439
Speaker 1: nowhere to be to be playing as well as any

1245
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: defensive end not named J. J. Watt. Really, wow, that's

1246
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: something Carrie Win. He well, he's not getting to the passer,

1247
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: but he's shutting down run games. He he has looked fantastic.

1248
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: They haven't, you know, faced a murderers row of offense,

1249
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: but they This is another one where I didn't think

1250
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: they'd be a defense that could even control bad offenses

1251
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 1: like the forty Niners and and I do think they'll

1252
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: be able to control of this game. I mean, Carlos

1253
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: Hide is missing an action. I feel for High because

1254
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: he looked in week one like running back we'd be

1255
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: talking about all season, and now it's like defenses they

1256
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: know that they can't get anything done through the air,

1257
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: so you just hides set of just being seeing stack boxes.

1258
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Kaepernick struggling is more depressing. It has to be so

1259
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: depressing for a forty Niners fan because it's now it

1260
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: all just feels hopeless. If you would have told us

1261
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: at the end of two thousand and twelve that the

1262
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: rookie of the year who beat out Andrew luck would

1263
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: be the number three quarterback behind Colt McCoy, and the

1264
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: starter of that Super Bowl who put up thirty one

1265
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: points in the Super Bowl would be looking like one

1266
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: of the worst quarterbacks in the league. There they're back

1267
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: to the pre harbor where they don't think they have

1268
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback and they don't know if they have a coach,

1269
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: and they're losing most weeks. And I'd like to feel

1270
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: too bad about the forty Niners. They had Joe Montana

1271
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Steve Young back to back, but at the same time

1272
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, at this point, I mean, you know,

1273
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: times passing by the way for all of us. Yeah,

1274
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: time keeps marching. Uh what if take us all one day,

1275
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: What if we to say you could shackle your you

1276
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: have to be shackled with one franchise quarterback for the

1277
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: next ten years. Is there ten the list of people

1278
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: who are more depressing than Colin Kaepernick isn't very long.

1279
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: You're shackled to that guy for the next five or

1280
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: ten years. I mean, like he's not a franchise quarter.

1281
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 1: But well it depends. Yeah, okay, so you can't pick

1282
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: like Alex Kaepernick is just so hard to watch. Well,

1283
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: one of these guys that got one of these contracts

1284
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: in the last couple of he's got to be at

1285
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: the top of the list. But Cutler maybe his number one.

1286
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: I gotta look at the specifics. But I don't think

1287
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep Colin Kaepernick. They can cut him any year.

1288
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: He's a year to year. If it doesn't change, he's

1289
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: not gonna be there. And I got the answer. I

1290
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: do not want a fifty year old Peyton Manning. But

1291
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: you did three weeks ago r G three. Well, I

1292
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: wanted thirty nine, but I don't know if I want fifty.

1293
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: By the way, Connor or who used to cover the Giants,

1294
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: so he's he knows that franchise, well knows the inside

1295
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,959
Speaker 1: of that building. He thinks they're gonna lay an egg

1296
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: and the Niners are gonna steal one, which would be

1297
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: of very giants for Kaepernick to kind of find himself

1298
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: and pull off something late in the game. But I

1299
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: just don't see it neither the rest of the around.

1300
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: The NFL crew taking us to our final game of

1301
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: the week, Monday Night Football on ESPN, we got we

1302
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: got a little John Gruden talking about spider Y Banana.

1303
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 1: You got Mike Tariko, who's kicking himself about missing that

1304
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: late call in Seattle. He's upset with himself, so he's

1305
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: got to get vindication. That's what this game is all about.

1306
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: The Steelers against the Chargers UH two five teams. The

1307
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: Chargers in our recent uh mock two the Power Poll

1308
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: number sixteen. They are the Dalton line UH four NFL

1309
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: teams at this point, and the Steelers have Mike Icket quarterback,

1310
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: which really evens this game out to me and makes

1311
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: it really a toss up. Greg I don't think it's

1312
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: a toss up necessarily. I would favor the Chargers because

1313
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: of Michael Vick. I think Michael Vick, until proven otherwise,

1314
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: is one of the worst starters in the league. And

1315
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers have to be thrilled with the schedule gods

1316
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: this year because they were so banged up on their

1317
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: offensive line and they were one and two and they

1318
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: played the only team that they could possibly protect the

1319
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: passer against Cleveland, and then they get Pittsburgh without Ben Roethlisberg.

1320
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, a little bit of luck for

1321
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: the Charger. I mean that said, you know Pittsburgh. To me,

1322
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: this is just watching the Steelers for years something. They

1323
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: could win any game anytime, no matter what's happening. But

1324
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland took San Diego to the brink last week. Pittsburgh

1325
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: has more talent on offense and defense. So what's why

1326
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 1: it is sort of a toss up in my book

1327
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: the Chargers. They do get Antonio Gates back this week.

1328
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: That should help. And angry Gates, by the way, why

1329
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: is he anger? He's angry the Shannon Sharp he feels yeah,

1330
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: it feels like his reputation has been soiled by got

1331
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: the anialist and Shannon Sharp. He's got that eight four

1332
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: speed running down the middle of the field today, so

1333
01:05:54,720 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: he's the guy that cares what Shannon Sharp says. Still

1334
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 1: not over the Shannon Sharp. We are killing the Patriots sideline.

1335
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: Somebody called the National Guard from It's still not over

1336
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: long time grudge, Greg's right, Shannon Sharp. Good. I'm looking

1337
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: forward to after this game when if Vic goes it

1338
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 1: goes like fifteen for twenty four for a hundred and

1339
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,919
Speaker 1: twelve yards and every like, Oh wow, Vic really took

1340
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: care of business, very competent, Like I've never heard anyone

1341
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: more complimented. People were saying, oh, yeah, he did the

1342
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: job like he was, Like what, what's the expert this is?

1343
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: This used to be Michael Vick, This used to be

1344
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the man. Let him play, Todd Haley, have you entered

1345
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: the phase of the season where the primetime games start

1346
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: to get awful? This one's not bad. I don't know.

1347
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean it'd be better. I got a lot too

1348
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: too much nighttime Michael Vick in my life. Yeah, I smell.

1349
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: I saw Mark Sessler's subtweet coming up from an unknown source.

1350
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be plenty. By the way, ten years

1351
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: you have to sign or you have to sign for

1352
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 1: ten years of a former player analysts for every notable

1353
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: NFL game, you gotta pick one, Shannon Sharp or ray Lewish. No,

1354
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: I I have to watch them. I can't just not

1355
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: turn on my teeth. They don't even do like that

1356
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: movie where the eyeballs are held open and they get

1357
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: tied to the chair. What movie just you take what

1358
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: clockwork arder to take my life. I don't want to

1359
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: sit through ten years of that. Louis to go to

1360
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: the next places by a long shot Lea see long

1361
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 1: shot two. He's one of the most annoying individuals that

1362
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: have ever been born. It's a drop Ray Lewis, Yeah,

1363
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,680
