We're talking about the game that was pretty phenomenal, 6 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: although man, it was a gut punch for your boy. 7 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: First the Texans, Oh gosh, that hurt. Guys, not gonna 8 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: lie that one hurt. And then we'll talk a little 9 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: Chadgers who lost a little mamckett don't look good and Raiders. 10 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 2: But listen, NFL is devolving into chaos, and I think 11 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: we're gonna get to that later in the week. There's 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: just too much to chew into. Jason Daniels is hurt, 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow obviously, so many guys going down, but there 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: is one constant and his name is Baker Mayfield. Guys, 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: America loves a redemption story. I mean seriously, that's what 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: we love. We live to build people up and tear 17 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: them down. We've been over this many many times. Yeah, 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: hike the hell out of someone, then they don't deliver. 19 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: You tear them down and then they come back with 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: a resurgence, because that's what the story of life is, right. 21 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: You never give up, you know, just when you think 22 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: it's over, it's never over come on. You can always 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: find a way out, and there's gonna be. Everybody goes 24 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: through a crappy time struggles. It's brutal. Life sucks. Oh 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: my gosh, I'll never forget. I was making peanuts, like 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 2: literally peanuts at a newspaper. Not literally peanuts, I'm sorry. 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: It was just a very little amount of money living 28 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: outside of New York City, trying to be a playboy, 29 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: you know, date girls and then you meet them and 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: they're like, oh, so where do you live, And you 31 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: say New Jersey. Enough times they're like, oh, you're bridging 32 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: tunnel note thanks, So then you just start lying to 33 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: say New York and then the girls actually talk to 34 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: you anyways. And I was just, you know, drive into 35 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: the city, that's where the action's at, and I you know, 36 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: you go through ruts where you're like trying to make 37 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: things happen with the ladies, work all this stuff. And 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: I'm coming out of the Holland Tunnel one Sunday as 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 2: hot as I mean, just brutally hot and all of 40 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: a sudden, my car just breaks down, like in the 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: middle of traffic, and I am able to somehow coast 42 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 2: to a gas station right outside of the Holland Tunnel. 43 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: And this was I don't even I think I had 44 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: like a cell phone, but I didn't really have anyone 45 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: to like bail me out. I broke as hell. It 46 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 2: just sucked. And I remember, I don't want to say 47 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: that was the last time I cried, because they were 48 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: a couple. Couple other times after that, but I just 49 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: like in my car broke down, like, oh my gosh, 50 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 2: my life. What am I doing. I got out of college, 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: I'm living in a studio. I got no money. This 52 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: just sucks. Now my car broke down. The hell am 53 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: I gonna pay for this? Fortunately, my mom was in town, 54 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: so I called her, and I just felt like such 55 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: a loser. I'm like, Mom, Hey, my car broke down, 56 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: Can you come grab me? You just feel like a loser, 57 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: right to me? That was rock bottom. After that, you know, 58 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: things quickly got better. I don't know. I guess you 59 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: don't give up, right, you keep fighting. And I want 60 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: to start the podcast talking about Baker Mayfield, because guys, 61 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: do you remember the swings of Baker Mayfield. You know, 62 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 2: this guy's thirty years old. Now he doesn't feel thirty. 63 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: But when he was in college, he obviously went to 64 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: Texas Tech early and then he had the He was 65 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: like a walk on and then he had the injury 66 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: and they were like, yeah, you know, he gets a 67 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: chance to play. He's good, but then he gets hurt 68 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: and he's come back. He's like, I'm ready for my job, 69 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, no, that's not this thing, your 70 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: job anymore. And so he transfers, ends up at Oklahoma 71 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: and just crushes it. Becomes the number one pick, which 72 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: was a surprise. It goes to the Browns. You know, 73 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: he was okay early, he was he wasn't awful. He 74 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: did win a playoff game at Pittsburgh, although Ben Roethlisberger 75 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: was awful in that one. But then in his final 76 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: year in Cleveland when he was looking to get paid, 77 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: he had an injury and he tried to play through it. 78 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: And for despite being pretty good the first three years, 79 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: you know, he had some bad coach at Hugh Jackson, 80 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: Like he put up good numbers and that final year 81 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: was just so bad because he tried to play through 82 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: the injury just an abomination, and they end up they 83 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: move off Baker. It's like, oh, it's over. They're not 84 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: even giving him a second contract. He lands in Carolina 85 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: and is like a backup in his Then he gets 86 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 2: to the La Rams and McVeigh kind of rehabilitates him, 87 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: and then he gets to Tampa and folks, you talk 88 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: about a comeback. So Baker Mayfield has just thrived in 89 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 2: Tampa to the point that last year seventy one percent completions, 90 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: forty five hundred yards passing forty one touchdowns. I'm not 91 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: even kidding those if you just looked at that compared 92 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: to like a lot of quarterbacks in the nineties, those 93 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: are like number one in the league. Baker Mayfield is cooking, 94 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: and for the second week in a row to open 95 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: the season, he has orchestrated a final drive in the 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: final like five minutes of the game and won the 97 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: damn thing. Compounding matters ladies and gentlemen, as I was 98 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: going against him, both of those. I had the falcons 99 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: last week and got kicked in my teeth. Now cou 100 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: hits the field goal, it's a different story. I'm not 101 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: as much of a whiny bitch as I am right now. 102 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: Last night was brutal because the Texans stunk up the joint. 103 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: We'll get to it in a second, yet somehow because 104 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: the Bucks wanted to give them the game badly. They 105 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: had the lead and they were covering. But then Baker 106 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: gets the ball with like two minutes and ten seconds left, 107 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: and I just knew the vibes were bad. Baker goes 108 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: eleven plays eighty yards touchdown. Bucks win twenty nineteen. Texans 109 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: don't cover. I'm in too many Survivor contests, but I won. 110 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: This is where I had three entries. I actually picked 111 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: the Texans because I felt great about them, So I'm 112 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: one of my entries is cooked, and obviously I had 113 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: them in the contest. So I end up two and three, 114 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: which friggin sucks, and I'm five and five. It's actually 115 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: not that bad, considering the field has just gotten decimated 116 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: so far. But it's like, come on, that should not 117 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: have been a loss. Denver Sunday killed me. I was irate. 118 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: I'm a little more calm now. 119 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 120 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: the nation.

I could feel it coming just because 124 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: Baker's done. This is what he does. Man, He's clutch, 125 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: and I don't want to hear listen. We got to 126 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: move off to CJ. Strouden. Nonsense, Okay, I know he 127 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 2: was really really good as a rookie. I get that 128 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: he was less good last year. And he's been garbage 129 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: so far this season. Through it's two games, but he's 130 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 2: been bad. Baker Mayfield. Meanwhile, facing fourth and ten, okay, 131 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: against what I'm told is an elite defense, Will Anderson, 132 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: Derek Stingley, oh Hunter, they got an elite defense. Really, 133 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: fourth and ten, Demiko Ryans goes zero blitz. The safety 134 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: who comes in late, comes in hot, whiffs on Baker 135 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: because he's an elusive, little slippery guy, and then he 136 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 2: scampers fifteen yards for the first down. That was what 137 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: I knew it was over. I'm like, if we can 138 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: get off the field of fourth down, hey, we got this, 139 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: but it shouldn't have even got the Truthfully, the Bucks 140 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: are better all night first folk first downs. Okay, this 141 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: is just first downs. Tampa Bay twenty five to twelve. 142 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: They doubled them up on first downs yards Tampa had 143 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: like ninety five one hundred more yards. Texans zero to 144 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: two in the red zone. Again, CJ. Stroud is not 145 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: a good quarterback right now. He's not. By the way, 146 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: Houston two for nine on third down. They were two 147 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 2: for nine on third down last week against the Rams. 148 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: So there's four for eighteen on third down this season. 149 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: What now? The counter I hear is Houston like the 150 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 2: eighteen Houston fans who listen to the pod saying Jay 151 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: Mac come on. They faced the Rams on the road. 152 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: That's a great team, Tampa. That's a playoff team. Not 153 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: many people who faced two playoff teams. The Packers actually did, 154 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: and they beat their ass both of them. Houston meanwhile, 155 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: loses both. They are now two games behind the mighty 156 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: Indianapolis Cults will fall off. I don't think it's over 157 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: for the Texans, obviously, you're not. Oh to two is 158 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: not a death sentence, not in that division. But you 159 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: can't punch it in the red zone. By the way, 160 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: the Texans were oh and two in the red zone 161 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: this week oh and one last week, so they can 162 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: barely get to the red zone. And when they're there 163 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: they can't score. That is a recipe for disaster. They 164 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: scored ten points early and I'm like, all right, fine, Texans, 165 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: they're good. Oh, here we go. We got this. And 166 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: then after they scored ten points on the first two drives, 167 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: Houston five plays twenty yards punt, five plays twenty two 168 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: yards punt, five plays nineteen yards punt. Three plays negative 169 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 2: five yards punt, And at this stage I feel like 170 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 2: it's over. Tampa attempts a field goal off the upright, 171 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: we have life. We got a shot, and then the 172 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: Texans drive it inside the five. Stroud misses terribly, terribly 173 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 2: on two passes and they turn it over on downs. 174 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: But again, Tampa wanted to give this game away, and 175 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: they have a punt blocked, and you're like, all right, Houston, 176 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: now we're gonna punch it in. Four plays zero three plays, 177 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 2: zero yards. Let's kick a field goal. But they have 178 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 2: no offense right now, So don't tell me CJ. Stround 179 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: is a top ten quarterback if you have no offense. 180 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: Right So, now they're within one Houston and Tampa goes 181 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 2: in punts and wouldn't you know it, but this punt 182 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 2: on special teams is returned fifty three yards by some 183 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: rookie and you're like, all right, they're in business. Now, 184 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: don't kick a field goal. We need to touchdown. Nick 185 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: Chubb scores on the second play, and you're like, oh 186 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 2: my gosh, as bad as Houston has been, they're now 187 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: winning and covering. And I was a static and then 188 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: I realized, oh, wait a minute, it's Baker Mayfield and 189 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 2: he ruined it. So I'm happy for Baker. A buddy 190 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: of mine out here is like his marketing guy. And 191 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: by all accounts, Baker Mayfield is a good person. He's 192 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: grown up a lot since he was favoriting my tweets 193 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: coming out of college when I was saying, I don't 194 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: think he's gonna be anything special. Yeah, that's true. He 195 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 2: actually favored them. It wasn't like his team, it was him. 196 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: But these are young athletes. They are on social media. 197 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: And you know, he's got Abuca, he's got Mike Evans, 198 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: Bucky Irving on my fantasy team. He is, he's got 199 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: the wiggle. I mean, he had Bucky Irving is tough. 200 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: I like that guy. Meanwhile, let's check out on the Texans. Oh, 201 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 2: Nico Collins three catches on nine targets. I'm not even 202 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 2: lying when I say Baker was sorry. Stroud was spraying 203 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: the ball all over the place. It was ugly. One 204 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: final note on Baker Mayfield. What makes his story even 205 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: better is so in twenty twenty two, Byron Leffwich was 206 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator in Tampa. Then they get to Dave Canalis, 207 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: and Canalis and Baker really click and it's like, oh, okay, 208 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: Canalis is good, Let's get him a head coaching job. 209 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: He's now at Carolina. So then they replace him. So 210 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 2: this is three straight years, three new offensive coordinators, and 211 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 2: last year he had Liam Cohen. Liam Cohen got Baker 212 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: his amazing season. Liam Cohen is now the head coach 213 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 2: in Jacksonville. Okay, so when he leaves, you now need 214 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: a four offensive coordinator in four years, Yes, true story. 215 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 2: Four years, four offensive coordinators for Baker Mayfield. And this 216 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 2: year I had to look the guy up. I'm sorry, 217 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. He didn't play for Byron Left, which they 218 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: fired Byron Left, which and had to do it. So 219 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: this was his third, third year in Tampa, third offensive coordinator. 220 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: The new offensive coordinator in Tampa is someone named Josh Grizzard. 221 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: I'm like, who the is that? So I googled this 222 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: guy started reading about him. He was a quarterback in 223 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 2: high school and a safety. He was a valedictorian with 224 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: a four point seven GPA. He went to Yale. So 225 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: he gets to Yale expecting to play and the coach 226 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: gets fired like midway through the first season, and so 227 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: this guy's you know, listen, that's a crap situation, right, 228 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 2: You go to Yale to play football, they recruit you there, 229 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: and then the coach gets fired, so pretty instantly you're like, oh, 230 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: what am I gonna do? He doesn't really fall in 231 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: with the new coach, The new coach doesn't like him whatever, 232 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: and he ends up saying screw this to go, I'm 233 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: gonna go be a coach. So then he takes on 234 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: like a grad assistant job at Duke while doing his 235 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: master's degree in Christian studies. I mean, this guy is smart, 236 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: he's religious. He played quarterback in safety, and I was 237 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: called validictur. I mean, like he's got everything. I'd literally 238 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: never heard of Josh Grizzard before. And I'm telling you, guys, 239 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: if you watch that game against Houston, I don't want 240 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: to hear the Houston defense is great because dudes were 241 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: open all day, running lanes were open all day. And oh, 242 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: by the way, they were down both tackles. Okay, so 243 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 2: please let's stop, you know, with this Houston defense being awesome. 244 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 2: Josh Grizzard, I guess he's gonna be the head coach 245 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 2: of the New York Giants next year. I mean, is 246 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: that how it works? Essentially, you coach one year with 247 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: Baker and then move on to a head coaching job. 248 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. I was floored by Baker Mayfield, the offense, 249 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: everything about Tampa. Tampa now two to zero, I'm probably 250 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: gonna have to draw a line in the sand and 251 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: no longer bet against them. But impressive stuff. Houston, of course, 252 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: look pretty rotten. I don't think they're very good and 253 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: and yeah, let's get to the nightcap. 254 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 255 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio 256 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to listen. 257 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 2: Live Chargers twenty Raiders nine in a game that sounds 258 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 2: about as ugly as it was. My brother went to this, 259 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: tried to coax me into going to it because he's 260 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: got a good hook up in Vegas, and I'm like, yeah, 261 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: I gotta work, gotta do the podcast. I don't think 262 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 2: I can swing it in folks. I missed absolutely nothing. 263 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: This game was garbage. Raiders completely inept offensively. Listen, I 264 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: said earlier Cjstride was bad. Just wait till we talk 265 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: about Geno Smith. Listen, Chargers look like a completely different team. 266 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: I know everybody's excited. Derwin James was phenomenal. Jesse Minter, 267 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator of the Chargers, really is getting a 268 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: lot of hype. I am extremely curious to see Chargers 269 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: Bronco this weekend. It is a huge swing game. Chargers 270 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: now at two and zero, could go three and oh 271 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: that would drop a Denver loss this week, it would 272 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: drop them to one and two. So it's a big 273 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 2: game in the division. And the Chargers just look really 274 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 2: really crisp. One thing I noticed last year, do you 275 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: guys will remember this? Go look up the Chargers Arizona Cardinals. 276 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: I believe the game it was on Monday Night football. 277 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh targeted I think three different tight ends like 278 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: eighty percent of the time. It was insane. They were 279 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: throwing at tight ends all season it was the tight 280 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: end show and oh yeah, lad McConkie. Now they're completely different. 281 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: Keenan Allen has opened things up for Quentin Johnson, who 282 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 2: caught a sixty yard touchdown. Gosh, the Herbert pass to 283 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: Johnston was so amazing. Wait till you see it over 284 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: the shoulder, just perfection. But Keenan Allen opens a lot 285 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: of things up because he's always over the middle. Mconkie, 286 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: who was heavily featured last year, is not heavily. They're 287 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: not as reliant upon this small receiver out of Georgia, 288 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: Trey Hair. The young guy looked, okay, we'll disleak the 289 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: tight end one target. That's it. It's not a tight 290 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 2: end centric offense like it was last year. And if 291 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: not for a late fumble by the rookie o'mari On Hampton, 292 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: it would have been a flawless night for the Chargers. Listen, 293 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: they weren't overwhelming, but they didn't have to be Minter. 294 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: Had the Raiders offense just in a vice, they could 295 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: do nothing. And now let's get to Gino Smith, who 296 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: was sacked three times through three interceptions and had two 297 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: of the most comical fourth down failures you will see that. 298 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: I've seen this season so far, and it's only two 299 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 2: weeks in, but it's like, you know, it's twenty nine 300 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: late in the fourth quarter, and of course Gino Smith 301 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: cannot deliver a touchdown, and so the Chargers come down 302 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: and Herbert tries to throw a pick and then they pun. 303 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: Raiders have a shot fourth down. Gino Smith, not wanting 304 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: to throw another pick, okay, takes a sack on fourth 305 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: and three. It's like, dude, give your tiava chance. So 306 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: then Hampton fumbles and it's like, oh, wait, Raiders have 307 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: a shot and they can get to touchdown the two pointer. 308 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: They can get within three and cover the spread. Fourth down, 309 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 2: Gino literally running for his life, just chucks it out 310 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: of bounce. But what are you doing? I don't know 311 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 2: if he actually got it out of bounds, it might 312 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: have been like right to that. There was two receivers 313 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: kind of headed toward the sideline. He just chucked it 314 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 2: toward the sideline. Nobody within five yards of it. It's 315 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 2: like embarrassing stuff. Now, listen, I know they went out 316 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: and got Geno. He has not looked. I mean, he 317 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: was solid against the Patriots, and he looked completely lost 318 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: against the Chargers. Here's this is what's really confounding. Now 319 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: I'm recording this after it's one o'clock Eastern Standard time. 320 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: The Raiders have lost, and I watched Ashton Genty had 321 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 2: one good carry early where he ran over a safety. 322 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: I was like, Ooh, Ashton Genty looks good. Ashton Genty 323 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: finished his game eleven carries for forty three yards. He 324 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: had three catches for one yard. Folks on both of 325 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: those fourth downs late in the game, Genty was not 326 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: on the field. Now I don't know if he was hurt. 327 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: I don't recall him getting injured, but they had someone 328 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: named Dylan Laube in the game. He is a sixth 329 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: round pick out in New Hampshire. He has Danny woodhead 330 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 2: vibes and that basically has called for He's a small 331 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: white guy who is getting a shot in the NFL. 332 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: How do you draft Ashton Genty so high? Remember they 333 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: took him sixth overall and he's not even on the 334 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 2: field onto pivotal fourth downs. So it could be that 335 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: he wasn't good at blitz pick up. Gino was running 336 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: for his life much of the night. But listen, this 337 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: running running back class was pretty heralded. Right, Genty went 338 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: sixth overall. We know he's talented. He hasn't done much. Oh, 339 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: Marion Hampton went twenty second overall, we know he's talented. 340 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 2: He fumbled. He hasn't done much. Then Judkins went. He 341 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: had an off season that had some arrest issues. He 342 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 2: showed well in the blowout loss for the Browns. He's 343 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 2: gonna get touches, but haven't seen it yet. Trevon Henderson 344 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 2: of the Patriots was supposed to be the truth. It's 345 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: taken him inute. Now. That's not saying these guys can't 346 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: turn around. RJ. Harvey of the Broncos has flashed, but 347 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: he's not the primary guy yet. And Caleb Johnson, third 348 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: round running back out Iowa, obviously had the just the 349 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 2: massive brain lock gaff on the kickoff that killed Pittsburgh 350 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 2: and he's not getting an He looks like the running 351 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: back class has not done Jack Squat yet. Ashton genty 352 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: on the season so against the Patriots he had nineteen 353 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: for thirty eight yards and against the Chargers eleven for 354 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: forty three yards. So on the season he has thirty 355 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: carries for eighty one yards. If you're scoring at home 356 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 2: eighty one divided by thirty is less than three and 357 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 2: he has not had a carry over thirteen yards. Now 358 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 2: that could be an indictment on the Raiders offensive line, 359 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 2: which was downright terrible in trying to block for Gino Smith. 360 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 2: Listen this Raiders team. I know they got to win 361 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: over the Patriots and some people were excited. Colton Miller, 362 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 2: is that Donald Parham? Oh to Dylan parhim, Okay, yeah, 363 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 2: he's on the inside. The interior got blown up. And listen, 364 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 2: this is why Khalil Matck, the star pass rusher of 365 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 2: the Chargers, he got injured. His arm was in a sling. 366 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: I don't know how. It did not look good at all, 367 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: but it was like, geez, how are the Chargers getting 368 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: so much pressure? And I think that's a credit to 369 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 2: Jesse Minter, who is going to be getting a lot 370 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 2: of hype here this season if this Chargers defense keeps 371 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: it up. Now, Chargers Broncos not to look too far ahead. 372 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: I still do want to briefly talk about this brock 373 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 2: power situation. But the Chargers last year with Minter at 374 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 2: the helm, were a good defense, but ultimately the offense 375 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 2: just ran out of gas and Ultimately the defense kind 376 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: of struggled late. But in two games against the Broncos 377 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 2: they won twenty three to sixteen and at Denver. And 378 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: I remember that game because I had the Chargers. It 379 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 2: was literally twenty three zero. It was they were them 380 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: and there was some garbage time points from bon Nicks. 381 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: And in the second meeting they won thirty four to 382 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: twenty seven at SOFI. I might have been at that game, No, 383 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: I I might have. 384 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 385 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: JK. Dobbins had a big I think he had a 386 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 2: good gay. I don't know, I gotta remember. But bottom 387 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: line is, I think Minter has an edge against Peyton 388 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 2: in this matchup. So I'm already leaning Denver. I'm sorry, 389 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: Chargers against Denver next week and his Chargers team is 390 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: going to be feisty. They look it's two games, but 391 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: they for sure look like a playoff team. A quick 392 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 2: word on brock Powers. So he was injured most of 393 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: the week, didn't practice, and then he ends up playing. 394 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll said he looked great. Brock Bowers did not 395 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: look great at all. Five catches for thirty eight yards 396 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 2: along of nine. I mean, listen, their offense was being 397 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: played in a booth. They could do absolutely nothing. Lest 398 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 2: Some of it was the old line, some of it 399 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: was Gino Smith. By the way, Trey Tucker eight targets 400 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: and he had twelve yards receiving. Like this Chargers defense 401 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,239 Speaker 2: was swarming. They were everywhere. Raiders end up with two 402 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 2: hundred eighteen yards of offense, three point four yards per play, 403 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 2: zero for three in the red zone. I think Rob 404 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 2: g probably fell asleep, you know, just watching these guys 405 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 2: just vomit all over themselves. I ain't saying the Chargers 406 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: are great, but the Raiders most definitely look terrible. Now, 407 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 2: an interesting subplot emerged in that Tom Brady was in 408 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: the Raiders booth wearing a headset during the game. He 409 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: obviously is a minority odor of the team, and apparently 410 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll and the GM John Spytech, who was by 411 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: the way in Tampa when they had Brady, they have 412 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: consulted with Brady on roster decisions in the offseason, and 413 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 2: Chip Kelly said he talks with Brady two to three 414 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: times a week going through film and the game plan 415 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: for the week. Folks, that is fascinating. Listen, if you 416 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: could bounced off off Tom Brady. Now on some level, 417 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 2: I'm sure that they're gonna be like a Tom. You know, 418 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: Gino looked unplayable. We lost Aidan O'Connell to injury. The 419 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 2: current backup on the Raiders is Kenny Pickett. Now, I 420 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 2: don't know if Gino was bad enough that you'd want 421 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 2: to turn to Picket, but Gino was. I mean, listen, 422 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: Tom Brady was there, and the owner is there and 423 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 2: he's watching you vomit all over himself. That that's not 424 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: a great look for Gino Smith. He just didn't look 425 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 2: comfortable at all. And I do wonder, and again it 426 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 2: may seem a little knee jerk given the game just ended, 427 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: but I wonder if they start giving Pickets some first 428 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 2: team reps like this was bad. These Island games get 429 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: so heightened all of a sudden. JJ McCarthy, who went 430 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 2: from NFC Player of the Week, I'm pretty sure after 431 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: he carved up the Bears in one quarter to oh 432 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 2: my gosh, the Falcons offense, the Falcons defense has JJ 433 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 2: McCarthy locked down. He can't do a damn thing. He's 434 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: trash like. These Island games are really tough on the 435 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 2: young quarterbacks. I know Gino's not young. He's been around. 436 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: But I mean, folks, this was bad, especially those fourth 437 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 2: down decisions. You've gotta be fuming now. I don't know 438 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 2: the pick, it's a significant upgrade. Obviously, need a healthy 439 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 2: brock Bowers. The receiver room is not great. Drafting Ashton 440 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 2: jed d sixth. Overall, this team's got a lot of holes. 441 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 2: And I'm looking around and I'm like, yeah, I don't 442 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: I don't think the Raiders have much here. Let's take 443 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 2: a quick gander at the schedule. So this week they 444 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: have the Oh, they have the Washed and Commanders. It's funny. 445 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 2: There's this thing in I'm sure you guys have heard 446 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 2: of the widow maker heart attack right where it's just 447 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 2: so bad that it makes your wife a widow. There's 448 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: like no surviving it. In gambling, there's something called a 449 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: widow maker spot. The team that played on Thursday night 450 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 2: football gets extra time to prepare. Their opponent played on 451 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: Monday night football, and they've got to travel. Washington is 452 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: hosting the Raiders. Washington played Thursday against the Packers. They 453 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 2: host the Raiders this Sunday, early kickoff. Raiders are coming 454 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 2: off Monday night football getting their butts kicked, and they 455 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: got to travel from Vegas to Washington. That qualifies as 456 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: a widow maker spot. Now, obviously this has been this. 457 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: Everybody Vegas knows this, so it's baked into the line. 458 00:24:52,400 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: But I am very curious what goes down with this game, 459 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 2: Like where does this line go? I mean, I don't 460 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: think you can get to six. I'm sure it's gonna 461 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 2: be three and a half, four, four and a half. 462 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 2: It's gotta be bigger than that. The other interesting fact 463 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: is Jaden Daniels complicates matters because he had an MRI 464 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 2: on his knee after that Packers game. Unclear if he's 465 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 2: gonna play, So maybe you get the backup. Then you 466 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 2: get Caleb Williams and the struggling Bears. Then you get 467 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones and the Colts, which kind of is in 468 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: a layup. Then you get cam Ward. So the schedule's 469 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 2: gonna keep the Raiders in it, but they got to 470 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 2: stay afloat with a couple wins here, and I don't 471 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: know if they can do that. All right, there's a 472 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 2: lot of NFL news we'll save for tomorrow before we 473 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 2: go too long. And also, folks, I'm terrified of the 474 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: idea of Tyrod Taylor starting a game from my jets, 475 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: like this is no boynil. All right, we're back tomorrow.
