Welcome back to another edition of the Around 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansa's name, joined 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: by a room finally filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, 5 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: and Greg Rosenthal. What up, boys? What's up? Happy Sunday? 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: Another full Sunday. Good to have you Backmark. You know 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: people were asking people on Twitter, were asking the streets 8 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: the show wasn't the same but the same. I didn't 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 1: get any tweets about the show not being a lot 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: of a lot of excitement. I just made. I didn't 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: hear a peep from anyone. I didn't. I was gone 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: for about three days. It didn't seem like that long 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: of a stress. Now. There was a listener though, that 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: um that tweeted at me that we referenced you, and 15 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: it was accounted ten times in the last show. So 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 1: obviously there was a missing peace in our in our 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: hearts while you were out in your desert desert adventure? 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: Did you learn anything in the desert? Not about the show. 19 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: I didn't listen. I am assuming it was listened to 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: the show, but I'm saying, did you learn anything about 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: your life in the desert. Well, of course, I think 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: you always do when you travel out into the east, 23 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: and I was disappointed to hear that you didn't. You 24 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: didn't meet a man like a Native American somewhere in 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: the in the in the sands, or smoke any peyote, 26 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: nothing like wild went. It was largely I mean, you know, 27 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: to keep it short, I was with my parents, which 28 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: was wonderful, and I was with my two toddler children, 29 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: So there wasn't a lot of pyote and Indian discoveries. 30 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: And that'll come over the summer perhaps most likely. All Right, 31 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: so this is week nine, the Week nine recap show 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: on Sunday. We uh, we have a lot of games 33 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: to get to, not as many as usual because we 34 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: have some some teams on buys this week, which we 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: all get excited about because that means less games, which 36 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: means more games we can really dig in on on 37 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: the Sunday night show, Right, Mark, let's do it. Yeah, 38 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: So why don't we start. Let's get right into the 39 00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: game of the day. We all know what the game 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: him of the day is. It is Manning Brady sixteen. However, 41 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: this was not the game. Maybe we were hoping for 42 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: a shootout that went down to the wire. This is 43 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: a one sided affair. Tom Brady through four touchdowns leading 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: the Patriots to a dominant to twenty one win in Foxborough. 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: The Patriots have won five straight and they hit their 46 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: by at seven and two. West. You wrote this game 47 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: up on NFL dot com Slash around the NFL. It's 48 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, the league MVP the season midway point. I 49 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: gotta put him in the discussion, right, This really happened 50 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: very quickly. But they are averaging forty points a game 51 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: since the blowout in Kansas City, and Brady has eighteen 52 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: touchdowns in one interception over that span. He's been lights out. 53 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a lesson. We shouldn't recap the m v 54 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: P race every week after like Week six, Like I 55 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: remember a Chargers fans Saint Rivers really has to hold 56 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: serve this week, you know, to keep his lead in 57 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: the m v period. It's a little earlier. They're forgetting 58 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: about the Philip Rivers m v P March that I 59 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: referenced the out a month ago. It's so, I mean, 60 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: there's there's no doubt that Tom Brady outplayed Peyton Manning 61 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: uh in New England today and and Peyton Manning even 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: said it himself, he said he wasn't very good in 63 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: this game. But this wasn't a game that you put 64 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: entirely on the quarterback, right, No, No, Manning. I thought 65 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: he had some trouble with the wind his ball. The 66 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: difference in arm strength between Brady and Manning I was startling. 67 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: And um Manning still had four and thirty nine yards. 68 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: But the defense, I mean, we we thought the difference 69 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: in this game would be Denver having a much better 70 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: defense than than the Patriots. But it didn't turn out 71 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: that way to happen, though, because Denver's secondary especially has 72 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: looked pretty rugged of late, shutting down whatever comes at them. 73 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: And then these two co quarterbacks combined for a hundred 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: and ten passes. It's the most in NFL history in 75 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: a non overtime game. And it comes down to neither 76 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: team could run the ball at all, and you have 77 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: two coaches and two quarterbacks that don't bother to run 78 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: if it's not working at all. That the Broncos started 79 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: the game trying to run the ball, they realized it 80 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna happen, and they smartly kept passing. They were 81 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: moving the ball. It was just the difference was on 82 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: third downs and big plays. Tom Brady was getting away 83 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: from defenders and the Patriots actually did a good job 84 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: getting pressure on Peyton Manning up the middle. Brady was 85 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: really good with his pocket movement and was accurate. Like 86 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: Greg said, on third downs, he put the ball in 87 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: some tight windows when he had to. Yeah, I didn't 88 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: think Manning played terribly either. If Wes Welker doesn't drop 89 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: a pass while they're driving to start the second half, 90 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: it goes up in the air and the Patriots intercept it, 91 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: return it and then it's a route. The Broncos are 92 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: right in that game. They were moving the ball very 93 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: well to start the second half. And Gronk, I mean, 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: this guy's it's dominant. E sixteen yards in his last 95 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: five games, the most he's ever had in any five 96 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: games stretching his career. It's funny because last year when 97 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: New England got hot, it's exactly for the same reason. 98 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: I feel like we had the same about maybe eleven 99 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: months ago. And then he heard his knee and it 100 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: was he was out of the picture. The catch that 101 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: that ground made with his left hand falling backwards. I mean, 102 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: que that tape up people back there. I'm sure they are. 103 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: They We do a great job putting videos together. If 104 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: you haven't seen it, if you're listening to us on 105 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: our podcast, he is playing at another level right now. 106 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: And to me, he's just the difference. I mean, that's 107 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: the main difference. And Brady said it after the game. 108 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: We figured out what we do well, and no team 109 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: and no coach I think is better at figuring out 110 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: what the team does well and hiding weaknesses like the Patriots, 111 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: and they've done that turnaround in the middle of the season. Wes, 112 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: you left Tom Brady off your top ten arms list 113 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: a few back. Is he getting on the list now? Yeah, 114 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: he's there. I gave you great for it at the 115 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: time that the ball that was the ball the fell 116 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: dropped in the end zone look like a JR. Richard fastball. Wait, 117 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: does anybody know j R. Richards? Yeah? He was. He 118 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: a middle reliever. He was six six eight starting pitcher 119 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: for the Astros in the late seventies when they hit 120 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan went over three strikeouts a few times. I 121 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: thought he was a nasty boy. Was not the center 122 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: of my late seventies focus. You have at late seven 123 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: for the center of your late All right, we move 124 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: on Colin. Colin Kaepernick fumbled at the goal line with 125 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: less than ten seconds to play, providing a shocking end 126 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: to a thirteen ten win for the Rams over the 127 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: forty Niners. Real uh studying upset here. San Francisco falls 128 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: to four and four and is on the outside looking 129 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: in in the NFC playoff picture. Gentlemen, I ask you, 130 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: is it time to start recalibrating expectations for this Niners team? 131 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: I guess it is what happened two years ago? They 132 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: had the best offensive line in the NFL, and now 133 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: Kaepernick has been sacked twelve times in his last six quarters. 134 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: I think. Yeah. The Rams entered this game with six 135 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: sacks all season, and they had six in the first 136 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: half alone. They finished with eight, including two from Robert Quinn. 137 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: So that I mean they're passed rush. You knew that 138 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: was gonna come on eventually, but for them to be 139 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: this dominant against the Niners team that you know, the 140 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: real and I picked the Niners going into this game 141 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: was I thought they were, you know, about to hit 142 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: that stride that they seem to do every year, like 143 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: the Patriots are doing now, but maybe that gear isn't 144 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: in them this year. I don't know. I mean they 145 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: still have players to come back from injury, especially on defense. 146 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: One quick thing about the Rams. You know, people easily 147 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: dismissed St. Louis, and for good reason because they've been 148 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: so inconsistent, but not inside that division. I think that 149 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: the your peak Carroll's and Jim Harbaugh. Then the forty 150 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: Niners were knocked around by the St. Louis Rams two 151 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: seasons ago with a tie and a loss. They beat 152 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: Seattle a couple of weeks ago, and they go and 153 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: beat the forty Niners again, but they can't beat anyone 154 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: outside of the West Weird team. Give me a Austin 155 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: Davis update, Dan, I think signs are pointing to him 156 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: not being the answer for them. It's it's it's amazing 157 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: they won this game. If you would have told me 158 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: that Austin Davis would throw for a hundred and five 159 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: yards two interceptions, that's a forty four point six passer 160 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: rating and a positivity Gabbard's own yards per attempt average 161 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: at four point four, and tell me that the Niners 162 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: would get beat by the Rams, I'd be shocked. He 163 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: you know, he seems he seems to be very conservative. 164 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't push the ball down field. That's the opposite 165 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: of how he was in his first few starts. Yea, 166 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: if someone went up to you and told you all 167 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: that before the game, wouldn't you really say, like, Wow, 168 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: that's a really weirdly specific prediction for the day. Why 169 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: are you telling He's like, wait, do you know something? 170 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: Are you holding out on me? But yeah, so I 171 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: would imagine that the less need unless something happens special 172 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: with Austin Davis, they're gonna be looking for a quarterback 173 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: in the first round of just matters where they fall 174 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: on that first und because they're not a bad team 175 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: like we're saying, they're beating team. They're beating the Seahawks, 176 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: they're beating the Niners. But it's the only thing that 177 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: makes it a little tough to figure out is how 178 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: good are these teams are actually beating. It's weird because 179 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: in Seattle there was dissension because inside the locker room, 180 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: players wanted to see the Seahawks get back to their 181 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: run first philosophy. I'm just asking here, looking at the numbers, 182 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: score forty nine yards. The team as a whole three 183 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: point eight rushing the ball. They're not the same team 184 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: on the ground that they've been in the past. No, 185 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: I mean this was not a good performance then by them. 186 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: And I want to get back to that again the 187 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: last player, because it was crazy they this game seemed 188 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: to be over. There was back to back penalties on 189 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: the rams that allowed the Niners to get from midfield 190 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: to the goal line, and they took it down to 191 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: nine seconds left. Kaepernick didn't get a clean snap. Looks 192 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: like he recovered the ball as he went into the 193 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: huddle and then it got knocked out again. And because 194 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: it was such a mess in the scrum that they 195 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: couldn't really get a good angle whether the call was right, 196 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: so they just stuck with a call. And and what's 197 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: crazy now? Is there four and four? And if they 198 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: missed the playoffs this year, this is the game that 199 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: will stick with them. I know Jim Harbow is not 200 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: gonna sleep tonight, but he might lose a lot of 201 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: sleep all winter thinking about how this game ended. Well. 202 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: Kaepernick says he had the ball over the goal line, 203 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: that he knows it that because he was there. What 204 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: you can't really trust that, But if his throw the 205 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: play before was better to crabtreet they win the game. Yeah, 206 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: Crabtree had to dive for out of the end zone. 207 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: And that's kind of been Kaepernick story this year. Some 208 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: great plays, but not really that accurate. Contract looks great 209 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: that the Niners signed. Now, I mean, you would not 210 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: have wanted to give him all that money because he's 211 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: not or maybe this contract, even in its current form, 212 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: is too generous to what he's showing. But what are 213 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: they gonna do. They're not gonna get rid of I 214 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: just think they're lucky they didn't give him a massive, 215 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: guaranteed contract. What you think it's ugly? Now they got 216 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: to go to New Orleans next week. That's an interesting 217 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: game in the NFC. If you don't go and in 218 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: that Superdome winning streak, you're at four and five in 219 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: a conference that I think it's gonna take ten orally 220 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: at least ten wins and maybe eleven wins to get 221 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. Tony Tony Romo's absence was felt on 222 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: Sunday in Arlington, where Brandon Weedon struggled to move mark. Seriously, 223 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: Brandon Weedn't struggled to move the ball against a stout 224 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals defense. The Cardinals beat the Cowboys, seen improving the 225 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: record to an NFL best seven and one. Greg, the 226 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: Cardinals had some fun against the NFC East this year. Four. No, 227 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: they're lucky they're not still in the NFC. So remember 228 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: back then when they were in the NFC. Card Yeah, 229 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: that Arizona was there for a little bit and then 230 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: they then they moved him out with Max. Yeah, they've 231 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: wiped the floor with this division. This game shouldn't have 232 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: been as close as the final score, which was seven, 233 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: but it was a It was a close game entering 234 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Carson Palmer really didn't have that good 235 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: a game and the only time the Cowboys scored early 236 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: was off a pick six from Carson Palmer. But I 237 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: give the Cardinals defense a lot of credit. People will 238 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: blame it all on Weed and but they stuffed the 239 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: running game pretty nicely. Klais Campbell, Dan Williams and the 240 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: Cardinals defensive line looked terrific. Brandon Weed and failed as 241 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: the Browns quarterback because he didn't have any touch on 242 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: his passes, blacked pocket presence, and really didn't see the field. 243 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: Bill is that pretty much what they tried to limit 244 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: his exposure to the game in the first half. Like 245 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: he he really wasn't that big a factor. In the 246 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: first half of the game. He made a couple of 247 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: dump off passes, didn't do anything too bad, didn't have 248 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: too many throws. The second they fell behind and had 249 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: to make a couple of throws, and he was off 250 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: target with his receivers who thought they were going to 251 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: go one way and weed ands throw another. I mean, 252 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: he didn't look good, but the defense didn't look good either. 253 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: If not for you know, ten bad throws by Palmer 254 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: and five drop passes from Arizona, I think they could 255 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: have put up thirty. You wrote also that their their line, 256 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: which has been so good, was was also not blocking 257 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: very well. Was that just because were they stacking the 258 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: box to stop the run? I mean that that I'm 259 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: sure that was part of it. But you know, they 260 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: had a fourth and one in the fourth quarter where 261 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: you need a yard to keep the game going. They're 262 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: only down by four at that time. It was a 263 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: close game. The whole game, they couldn't pick up a 264 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: yard and Murray had a ten yard round a seventeen 265 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: yard run early, but for the most part he was 266 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: just getting one two yards and Calais Campbell returning and 267 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: you know who also looks good, Honey Badger. Honey Badger 268 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: is back and he makes a big difference. They're not 269 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, they lost a lot of people, but the 270 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: secondary is still very good. Bruce arians going to run 271 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: away with Coach of the Year at this This was 272 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: a defense that was scrambling to fill up races in 273 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. As you said, Honey Badger 274 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: was not healthy. Now that this the defense is humming 275 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: and you have an offense that's getting the job done. 276 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: This is and Ellington has been a great He's really 277 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: uh stepped up his game this year. This whole team 278 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: is starting to coal coal lesson a nice way. The 279 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: others said the Cowboys look like they're in trouble. Their 280 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: best three defensive players this year on really kind of 281 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: a no name defense have been Tyrone Crawford, Rolando McLean 282 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: and Justin Durant. Durant was lost for the season last week, 283 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: didn't McLean and McClean and Crawford went down late in 284 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: the game. Seems like mcclean's injuries not serious, but Crawford's 285 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: could be from the sound of it, and that would 286 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: be a huge loss for them, and they just get 287 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence back this week and he played pretty well. Actually, 288 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: Henry Melton is playing better, but it's not it's not 289 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: a good defense. So Dallas has been beaten in six 290 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: days by Cole McCoy and Britton weedon the old Browns quarterback. 291 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: I still don't think this team is making the playoffs. 292 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you would think they're gonna beat Jacksonville this 293 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: week in London. If Romo returns Jerry Jones into Katidie, 294 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: expect Tony Romo to play next week. But oh, Tony 295 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: Romo doesn't have a choice. By the way, Tony Romo, 296 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: this was Jared's year. It was all in his head. 297 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: It was all coming together that this was their big 298 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl run that no one saw coming. He's not 299 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: gonna let this thing slip away. If they have the 300 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: wheel Romo onto the field, they're gonna do it guaranteed. 301 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: And give some We should give some left to Patrick 302 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: Peterson who has had a rough year, but he's shut 303 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: down Dez Bryant out of this box score until the 304 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: last two minutes in a garbage time drive. Did Patrick 305 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: Peterson shut him down? Or did we I give it 306 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: credit to Peterson because they tried to throw to there 307 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: was eight targets to him and he was all over him. 308 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: The the officials kind of led him play. It was 309 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: very physical, but Dez Bryant was very frustrated. Marshawn Lynch 310 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: led the way with a hundred and forty three yards 311 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns on the ground, and the Seahawks beat 312 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders thirty to twenty four. At the clink, 313 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: the Raiders are now oh and eight. I guess that's 314 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: owing four under Tony Sperranto. Barbie Moore balls and Mark 315 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: was this a game that was as competitive as the 316 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: final score indicates. Not quite as competitive as the final score. 317 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: But I want the Sperranto, you know, love or hat 318 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: um is he's gotten the Raiders to bet why. I 319 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: know you do. And that's why I mentioned that it's 320 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: not a great look for Denis Allen because they've been 321 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: much more competitive under Sperranto. And I think that they, 322 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, they're kind of playing with it. We got 323 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: nothing to lose attitude. They went right at Seattle. Seattle's 324 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: banged up big time on defense and nearly ran away 325 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: with this game very early because of some some Derek 326 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: Carr interceptions, want to pick six by Bruce Servant. But 327 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: then from there it was Seattle couldn't really will its 328 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: way to a blow out, which I think they would 329 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: have last year. I mean, Marshawn Lynch had a nice game, 330 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: sixties something yards on the ground, another sixty through the air, 331 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: But the passing attack in Seattle, I think they're really 332 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: struggling because they didn't have Russell Okung in there, and 333 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: they didn't have their center, and and Russell Wilson was 334 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: running for his life all game. Seems like he's back 335 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: in a funk like he was last December. Well, you know, 336 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: it's like we've already taught opped about in in Dallas. 337 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: If suddenly you're getting chased around, or if in any 338 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: of these games, where a guy that we're used to 339 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: seeing being a fishing Kaepernick, if you're getting sacked eight 340 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: times a game, if you're gonna get rushed all over 341 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: the field and they're taking away some of your deep 342 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: looks and you don't really have a receiver on that 343 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: offense that you can rely on for big big By 344 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: the way, you traded Percy Harvin, who not for nothing, 345 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: had nine for a hundred and thirty for the Jets 346 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday. I mean, that was a major guy that 347 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: I know they weren't utilizing them correctly, but that doesn't 348 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: mean that they were never going to figure it out. 349 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: Once you take him out of the picture, he's gone 350 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: entirely obviously. I mean, I wouldn't be I wouldn't be 351 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: overly worried about Seattle until we get they get their 352 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: guys back and we kind of see what they are. 353 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: But they really did not look no. But I mean 354 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: I'd like to see them get their full lineback. That'll help. 355 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: The offensive line was terrible last year and people forget 356 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: it was one of the worst offensive lines pass protecting 357 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: in the league, and they don't seem any better West 358 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: by the way, since you were on the verge of 359 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: eating yourself up with the Raiders, they have now lost 360 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: fourteen straight since that moment. This is their worst start 361 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty two. Do you have anything to do 362 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: with us? Sure? Put a hex on him? What's going on? Guys? 363 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: Really quick? Just real quick question. So one Mr Dave 364 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: damage like said him last week on his new show 365 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: by the Way on NFL Now, said that the Seahawks 366 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: will not be making It's on d D D F 367 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: E TV. It's a thirty minute show, well like a 368 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: two minutes on it. Yeah, check it out on the 369 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: phone now on NFL. Now, you can't have too much 370 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: check in your life, spech. He can't have too much 371 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: in a phone now. You could have too much check 372 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: in your life t D. I imagine. But the good 373 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: of fans of NFL media content don't feel the same. 374 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: Muay you know. Yeah, but he says the Seahawks will 375 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: not be making the playoffs. I'm actually gonna do this 376 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: on behalf of check. Anyone willing to take a sandwich 377 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: bet on that? Well, we don't bet here first of 378 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: all sandwich purposes. I'm yeah, I'm all over that. Really, 379 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: they're out if they're season ended today. But the caboy 380 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: they will, Yes, I think I'll take you up on that. 381 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: I will. He didn't even know about this. Yeah, I'm 382 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: taking the Seahawks to make it. Sign me up, all 383 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: four of us. He's gonna be really mad at you now. 384 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: You basically just took twenty dollars out of his wall. 385 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: Signed Patcher up and Connor while you're at it. He's 386 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: a charitable fella, my whole family back in New York, 387 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: just like forty sandwiches. I don't know. I just I 388 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: find it hard to believe that the Seahawks will. I 389 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: don't know anymore if they're gonna get back to the 390 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, which I know a lot of people thought 391 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: could happen, but it'd be to me. I'd be stunned 392 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: if they just fall off completely and go nine to 393 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: seven or eight and eight. I just one reason I 394 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: would say. They still have two games against the forty Niners, 395 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: two against Arizona, and one against St. Louis. I look 396 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: at their season, it is almost just beginning. It's been 397 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: a little bit rough, but they can decide what happens 398 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: from here now. A J. Green made a healthy return 399 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: after a three week absent and finished with three catches 400 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: for and a touchdown. The Bengals stayed at the top 401 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: in the ANFC North with a thirty three twenty three 402 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is a game that 403 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: appeared to be coming down to the final possession until 404 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: Blake Bordles through a killer interception to end things. Uh. 405 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: The Bengals, gentlemen, the Bengals, they went, they went again today. 406 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: Not very impressive, but they're taking care of business. And 407 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: here we are again. They are heading as we reached 408 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: November there in first place in their division, so they're 409 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: moving along. What's up with Jeremy Hill carries a hundred 410 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: and fifty four yards? Yeah, he he sealed the game essentially. 411 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: They the Jaguars were coming back after a bad Dalton turnover, 412 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: got got within his score and then the Bengals got 413 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: the ball back and Hill busted one sixty yards down 414 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: the sideline for a touchdown that basically gave them the 415 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: breathing room they needed. So you know, with filling in 416 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: for Joe Bernard, that is a that's a big pick 417 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: me up, and that's a nice one two punch they have. 418 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: How about my boy Mohammed Sanu, how did he look? 419 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: He had another touchdown and you know, he he looked 420 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: like he was still the number one guy. I think 421 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: Green is being worked back into the mix. But when 422 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: you tall, we've talked about this, Green and SNeW, both 423 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: of them together. He had another he had He just 424 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: has great catches every week too. It's not just that 425 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: he's compiling numbers. He's making great kind of over the 426 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: shoulder catches, has great hands, has great footwork. He's just 427 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: he's just fun to watch. Now. On the other side, 428 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: Greg and I have been kind of worried about Blake boardles. 429 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: He looked like he's regressed. How did he do today? Well, 430 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: he was terrible in the first half, or I should 431 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: say very quiet in the first half. They didn't do 432 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: much at all. Uh. He came on in the second 433 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: half was playing really well. Um actually finished with two touchdowns, 434 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: his best passer rating of his career. But he had 435 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: some questionable decisions. He there were two interceptions that should 436 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: have been interceptions that were dropped, and then he threw 437 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: on a bad, ugly pick. When you watch the game 438 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: on game rewind, you'll you'll be very upset when Blake 439 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: for the decision he made. He threw it into a crowd, 440 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: had no chance of being completed, and that really is 441 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: what costs him the game. But I would say on balance, 442 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: this was a step up from the last couple of weeks. 443 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: And you and like we've been saying all season, there's 444 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: definitely something there with this guy. It's just a matter 445 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: of can he get through the season and not pick 446 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: up bad habits and or get hurt. I think it's 447 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: unusual to see a guy plateau if he's a rookie 448 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: quarterback at this time of the year. It's a long 449 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: season and you're you know, you're right, that's where you are. 450 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: But I I blamed it for a long while on 451 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: their inability to run, and yet Denard Robinson last couple 452 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: of weeks, three weeks now in a row. Wow, and 453 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: Greg you tweeted it? Uh, what did you tweet? It's 454 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: just one of the best stories right now. I love 455 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: watching this guy run. I mean red. He reminds me 456 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: a little bit of Jamal Charles, just like the way 457 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: he can throw to slow down and then just explode 458 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of his run. He looks like a 459 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: legit running back. Hearns looks good. I mean, they have 460 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: a nice little offense. Allen Robinson looks good. They just 461 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: need to invest in a couple of draft picks in 462 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: their offensive line, hopefully early draft picks. Well, yeah, Luke 463 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: Joco was one. It's not really I don't know if 464 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: that's the guy they took in a third round. Linden 465 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: Er at guard has been great, so that that helps. 466 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez came on for an injured Nick Foles and 467 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: helped leave the Philadelphia Eagles to a win over the 468 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Nick Foles, it's a clavical injury. It could 469 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: be serious. He could be missing serious time. Damiko Ryan's 470 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: carted off the field with a torn achilles tend in 471 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: the team fears, Greg, I ask you, how much of 472 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: a step down is this Mark Sande's from the two 473 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: thousand fourteen version of Nick Foles. We have to see 474 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: Sante's in this offense because the preseason, as we're seeing 475 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: with Boardles and so many others, is not transferable to 476 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: the regular season at all. So we need to see 477 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: Sanchez in this offense. You know, it looks like he 478 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: had a solid, you know, start today. I don't think 479 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a step down I personally, but I 480 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: kind of want to see it against real, live competition first. 481 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: I don't really take much out of him lighting up 482 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: the pre season. I agree with you totally. I I 483 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: don't think it's necessarily a step down, and you can't 484 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: really say that the preseason carries over. But I thought 485 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez was a little bit unfairly maligned in New York. 486 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: He's not a terrible course, he lost his confidence in 487 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 1: near the end before he had a totally injury, and 488 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: that's really what did him in. He we all know 489 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: it's been talked about forever that he had moments early 490 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: in his career. So he there is something there with 491 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: him as well. And I think you guys are right. 492 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: And I thought on Twitter as as soon as he 493 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: came in the game, there were thousands of bad jokes saying, oh, 494 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles are done, the Eagles are screwed. But don't 495 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: don't assume that that he was gonna thousands of bad 496 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: jokes on Twitter by sports writers surely and fans and fans, 497 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: and a good timing for Sanchez too, because obviously falls 498 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: very up and down this whole season and a little 499 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: bit enigmatic. But they Philadelphia finally running the ball. Well, 500 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, they didn't have an offensive line for half 501 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: the season. What is it a hundred and ninety yards today? 502 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: Four point eight yards per rush? Sanchez can do fine 503 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: in that. I think that, you know, he was one 504 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: of the guys that said, I don't he was very 505 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: down during the summer when they talked about him maybe 506 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: being traded out of there. I think he realized he's 507 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: with a good coaching staff on an offense that can 508 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: use his skill as well, and they can run the ball. 509 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: It's not a bad son. The quarterback proof offense. Falls 510 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: has been terrible this year, and they're like a top 511 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: five team in in offense and they're in first place 512 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: now with Falls and Sanchez and and to answer that, 513 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: a couple of picks today too, and they're six and two. 514 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: They're ahead of the Cowboys. Now. It's if you can't 515 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: succeed in this offense as a quarterback, you're not gonna 516 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: succeed anywhere. It was a costly win though, Damiko Ryan's. 517 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: You go from Demika Ryan's to Casey Matthews. That's that's 518 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: quite a come down. One note in macklin five yards 519 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: over two games, the most by any Eagles receiver since 520 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five, and back to back. I was gonna 521 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: say that Adrian Peterson in two thousand twelve is the 522 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: all time leader in best a c L recovery. Ever, 523 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: Macklin just moved into the top five. I think he's 524 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: like on pace for fifteen hundred yards season with fifteen touchdowns. 525 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he came back and he was immediately his 526 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: old self, and he we always knew. That's why when 527 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: he hurt his knee, what a perfect fit he was 528 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: in that offense, because you know, that was why it 529 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: was such a shame he came back in and he 530 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: showed it this year. It's insane. I mean, a c 531 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: L injuries are now just like bumping your shin on 532 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: the way to the You know, if Mackman's number five, 533 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: Miller's number two. But so many people come back from 534 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: a c L s now and they're better, They're more explosive. 535 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: What are you saying. I'm just saying. I will say 536 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: all the listeners that hate Greg right now that have 537 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: gone through that surgery and the grueling rehabit entails, you know, 538 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: achievement to get back. I hear what you're saying. I 539 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: guess I'm saying. Once these highly trained athletes with all 540 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: the staffs behind them and everything else, get back on 541 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: the field, it's like it didn't make any difference. Did uh? 542 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: Did the Eagles play against another team today? The Houston Texans. 543 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: I think they're they're the team in the a f 544 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: C that was kind of in the playoff race but 545 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: not really. And now that it's gonna take like eleven 546 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: wins forget about it. Quarterback switch time maybe there? Yeah, 547 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: I would think so, aren't the hidden into a by Yeah, 548 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: let's get let's see some Ryan Mount Brian Hoyer through 549 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: a thirty four yard touchdown pass two Taylor Gabriel with 550 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: eight fifty nine to play, helping the Cleveland Browns UH 551 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: to win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Mark. 552 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: The Browns are five and three at the midpoint of 553 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: the season, got a huge division matchup coming up Thursday 554 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: against the Bengals. I would like you to rank your 555 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: confidence level one to ten on what the Cleveland Browns 556 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: beating the Bengals in general, beating the Bengals four in general? Five? Okay, 557 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: So that I don't mean, and what you're saying bout 558 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: that is you're not buying them as a playoff contender 559 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: right now. I think they're on the fringe in an 560 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: an FC where there's like fourteen teams that are five 561 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: and three right now? Are there? Where are we at 562 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: that there are eight teams I think that are five 563 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: and read roughly in that tell us about this game? 564 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: Did they? I know they didn't look very good last 565 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: week in their win UH. This week did they play better? Well, 566 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, I mean number one, this is this is 567 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: a kind of game that they've lost seventy five times 568 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: over the last eight seasons, so they're winning these games 569 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: this year. That it was one of the uglier wins 570 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: I've seen in a long time from any team. I mean, 571 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: they really didn't play very well, and not to last 572 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: week with the Browns. It's the same. It's the same 573 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 1: exact thing, because I think they were forged Onna. We're 574 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: gonna run the ball down your throat all day long 575 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: and they can't do it right now, and so you know, 576 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: it's the same in the passing game is exposed to 577 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: some degree. Yet they made enough plays down the stretch 578 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: against the league's worst defense in yardige allowed what's a win? 579 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: What's the name of Alex max replacement at center? Nick 580 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: McDonald and Gerald McCoy put a clown suit on him 581 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: to be yeah, And I mean Gerald McCoy is, you know, 582 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: beside J. J. Watt one of the most disruptive forces obviously, 583 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: and heat this Nick McDonald's I came off the practice squad, 584 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: I went and watched what he did last week against 585 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: the Raiders, and he is learning on the job, and 586 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: he's continuing to learn. I think you might have well, 587 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: you might be doing that again next summer as well. 588 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: But what did well, No, I'm not sure if you're 589 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: looking for, you know, uh little peek behind the curtain. 590 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: Midway through this game, Hoyer had been struggling. I was 591 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: seeing some tweets and Mark revealed to us that he 592 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: had even tried to get ahead of the story a 593 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: little bit had worked up a Brian Hoyer benched in 594 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: favor of Johnny Manzel post. So he must have not 595 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: been playing to it felt very much. Well, we've heard 596 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: whispers for weeks that had things not gone right in 597 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: the first half, and this is a game they had 598 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: to win or Thursday night becomes irrelevant for them almost 599 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: that maybe they make the switch. And it was the 600 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 1: kind of game where Hoyer was getting harassed and he 601 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 1: was not escaping pressure the way that I think they 602 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: would assume Manzel might give them, extend the play and 603 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: give them some life on the ground. Give him this 604 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: though he came back through for three hundred yards. He's 605 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: on pace to throw for four thousand and twenty touchdowns. 606 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: Now he should have about twenty interceptions too, But these 607 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: defenders keep dropping him. I mean, he had a bad 608 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: pick today. He had you know, it's it's a total 609 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: mix and match group of receivers. They don't have Jordan Cameron, 610 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: they don't have Josh Gordon, they don't have Alex Mack, 611 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel. Well, they have these. The Andrew Hawkins is 612 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: on pace. He's five ft seven. No player under five 613 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: ft eight has caught as many yardage and passes him 614 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: since uh Little Train James. So, I mean they're getting 615 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot from guys that we rode off before the year, 616 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: and so we'll see what happens. I'm not writing them off. 617 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Bucks. Mike Evans box score looks great. 618 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: How did he look? He really was. You know, he's 619 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: the kind of guy that's been washed out behind the 620 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and Calvin Benjamin hype. He's not as flashy 621 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: as Watkins, but he's big and he absolutely dominated buster 622 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: screen and he they kept trying to put small corners 623 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: up against him, and he was open over number one 624 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: received for now over Vincent Jacks. I think he has 625 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: been the last two weeks. He looked great last week too. 626 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I like what I see out of Mike Evans. 627 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: I think Jackson looks like he's not long for Tampa 628 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: and Evans is going to be then. Now I wonder 629 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: if they found start after you know, I think they 630 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: may go back to McCown at something. Here's the credit 631 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: to the Browns. We talked about it. Out of that 632 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: bye week and week four, they had just a tomato 633 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: can schedule for five straight weeks. They needed to take 634 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: care of business. And with the exception of that slip 635 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: up at Jacksonville, they won four out of five, So 636 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: they got themselves in good position going to the second half, 637 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: coming up at Since, home to Houston, at Atlanta, at Buffalo, 638 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: home to the Colts, and then home to Sinse. So 639 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: that's not a brutal stretch either. There's some winnable games there. 640 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: But they got to play better than they have the 641 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: last two weeks, I think. So. I mean, that's why 642 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: I give them a five as a playoff contender. I 643 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: think it's a positive step and we'll see where. Give 644 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: give Isaiah Crow out of the ball. I mean West 645 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: jumping around ten Dentate ten carries for three. It beent 646 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: Tate looks terrible. I don't know what's going on with 647 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: can make anyone miss. The Minnesota Vikings spoiled Robert Griffin, 648 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: the third's returned to the lineup, getting three touchdowns from 649 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: Matt Aciata, including the go ahead score with less than 650 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: six minutes to play to secure win over the Redskins. Uh. 651 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: To talk about this game, we have a man on 652 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: the phone. Every time he's not working and putting together 653 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: content for around the NFL, he's getting yoked. He's at 654 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: the gym. He's working at that aggression that he's admitted 655 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: on the show that it builds up within him sometimes 656 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: and sometimes manifest itself physically upon people outside. I mean, 657 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,719 Speaker 1: there's a reason he works remotely from us. He is 658 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 1: Kevin Patrick coming at you. What's going on? Follows what's up? 659 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: My man? Yoked over exaggeration. UH got a great body man. 660 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, So the Minnesota Vikings a big win here. 661 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, though, Kevin Patrick, how did 662 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: r G three look in his return to action? You know, 663 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: he came out firing. He was six for six. He 664 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: looked real good. They look like they almost dusted off 665 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: some of Kyle changing and plays from last year early 666 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: and he was in the pistol. Uh. His movement and 667 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: his ankle didn't seem to bother him all games. First 668 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: drive of the game he almost got tacked, wiggled out 669 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: of it, and Sandroy hell who after he rolled out. 670 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that was an issue at all. But 671 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: then from there he only completed twelve passes after the 672 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: first a couple of drives and he just seemed to 673 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: hold the ball way too long. It went back to 674 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: the same things we were saying about him in the preseason. 675 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: In the first game, how long the ball way too 676 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: long and was very inaccurate on his throws. Yeah, I 677 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: was wondering. I looked that he took five sacks, and 678 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: the Vikings they have something with that defensive line with 679 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: Everson Griffin and Sharif Floyd and Anthony Bars playing. They 680 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: leave the league in sacks right now. But how much 681 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 1: of it was on Griffin, how much of it was 682 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: on the Vikings. I would say there were two facts 683 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: that were uh, the Vikings got on their own, and 684 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: three of them were caused by him holding the ball 685 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: too long. But he also wiggled out of a couple 686 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: that they should have, but they should have had two 687 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: or three more that he kind of wiggled out of 688 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: this game, was back into the combination of both, but 689 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 1: he held on the ball way too long, way way too. 690 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of amazed at the stage of his 691 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: development that the Vikings won a game in which Teddy 692 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: Bridgewater through forty two passes and I'm curious how he looked. 693 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: I know I did see one play where he overshot 694 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: Cordurel Patterson on what would have been a touchdown. Right 695 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: he overthrew him. He's having some Yeah, he I turged 696 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: him as four deep balls that he just missed on. 697 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: Two of them were overthrows, one was a good play 698 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: by the defender, and another one he badly, badly under threw. 699 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,239 Speaker 1: Patterson would have had a touchdown on that one as well. 700 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: Did Christian Ponder have the same problem? So, uh, what 701 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: you could almost say this was the quarterback kind of flipped. 702 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: Teddy started out terrible and then in the second half 703 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: he got into rhythm. He realized that he could step 704 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: up in the pocket and he avoided some of the 705 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: pressure because the Washington pressure was all over early and 706 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: he kind of just clicks for him and he was 707 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: making short passes. The North turner was just a step 708 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: ahead of Jim Haslet all day guys were wide opening 709 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: in the secondary and he just made easy throws. It's 710 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: crazy that the Vikings without Adrian Peterson are four and 711 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: five and you know they have the same amount of 712 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 1: winds as San Francisco. Right now, Minnesota, they didn't get 713 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: excited for Mike Zimmer Coach of the year. Coach of 714 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: the year. Trying to get someone excited about this Vikings team. 715 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: No one else seems to care. I can't get it. 716 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,959 Speaker 1: We were walking up the stairs and we were talking 717 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: about them, and I can't get all in on the 718 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: Vikings that they're like to me, guaranteed, six Bruce Arians 719 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 1: would need to be abducted by like hostile forces for 720 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: for Mike Zimmer to win Coach of the Year. By 721 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: the way, all right, Kevin, thank you again. Okay, no 722 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: wait wait, I'm sorry you have something else to say 723 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: that I was gonna give. That was so hurtful, Like 724 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: I feel so bad about it the way that came. 725 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: You were like, Okay, I was gonna argue with the host, 726 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: who are the hope? I want to hear that point 727 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: that you had. Um, well, I was just gonna say, 728 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this game kind of proved. They have a 729 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: lot of young teach pieces. I'm sorry Bridgewater, like I said, 730 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: he's shown flashes where in a few years, I think 731 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: you'll have good. He'll be good. Anthony Barr showed up again. 732 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: Everson Griffin, like he said, and I think McKinnon is 733 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: a good, good piece in the backfield. I don't know 734 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: why they give austy out of the ball unless it's 735 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: on first and goal on the one, but I think 736 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: they do have some pieces here, and I think Mike 737 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: Zimmer's gonna move him into shape one of the best. 738 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 1: They shown a lot of progress. One of the best 739 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: weird stats in the NFL right now is that Matt 740 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: has nine touchdowns in his career. So he has three 741 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: games where he had three touchdowns in the game. Never 742 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: had to touchdown any of his other games. That's weird, 743 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: flawing a Nintendo game or something. Alright, Kevin, anything else, 744 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: Kevin Well, I was gonna say that he had something else? 745 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: What else he got? That was it? I'm done out. 746 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 1: Let's Georgia stands at him out. That's Kevin at a 747 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: coming at you. It was a little rocky there. I'm 748 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: upset that maybe we we didn't close things out properly. 749 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: Maybe we should have a big pow wow conference call, 750 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: but set up by the boss on Monday morning. And 751 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: you don't want an angry Kevin Patrick. You know exactly, 752 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. So Kevin Patrick bringing the hot 753 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: info as always, and we move on. Philip Rivers was 754 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: shut out for the first time in his career yikes, 755 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: as the Miami Dolphins defeated the Chargers thirty seven. Nothing 756 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: in a grim route if you're a Chargers fan. Ryan 757 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: Tannehill continued an extended stretch of great play, throwing three 758 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: touchdowns and completing over his passes. Oh yes, I gotta 759 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: ask you. We gotta hit both of these teams very 760 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 1: hard because this is a very interesting game. But we'll 761 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: start with the Dolphins and the winning team. Are they 762 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: for real? I think they are? Uh three uh The 763 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: three highest qbrs of of Ryan Tannehill's career have come 764 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: in the last five games. He's playing much better, and 765 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 1: their defense has Greg's been saying it's the top three 766 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: four defense in the NFL. I think they look great, 767 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: top three or four. I don't know if I've been 768 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: saying that, but maybe after shutting out the team of 769 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: a t L. Well, think about it. I don't know, 770 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: speaking of which, I you're gonna need more than a 771 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: great seventies disco song to perhaps keep us invested. I 772 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: don't think we get a chance because people are at 773 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: We took a lot of grief during this game, people 774 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 1: saying the Chargers, are you gonna dump them? I don't 775 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: know if we can dump them. We certainly, I know 776 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: Wes you dumped them, but um, from looking at this 777 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: from a team building aspect, I don't know if we can. 778 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: We're not gonna pick another team of a t L. 779 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: We had our shot, and if the charges go down 780 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: in flames, you know what I say this, we stick 781 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 1: with them. Yeah, we didn't fail them. They have failed 782 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: us up to this point. And let's give him a chance. Like, 783 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: let's hear that song, get us maybe juiced up a 784 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: little bit, all right? The super charges? Yeah, super charges? 785 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: All right? I mean I feel like that gave a 786 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: little It's like drinking a five hour energy shot. I 787 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: mean only because like, we can't pick another team, so 788 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: we had no choice buttons, so we could we could 789 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: do whatever we want. Well, there is something the process 790 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: croquet then they're gonna rally. They're gonna get Jason Brett back, 791 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna get Ryan Matthews back, They're gonna get some 792 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: of their other defensive players, and they're gonna rally down 793 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: the stretch and they're gonna stick it in your bald head. Wow, 794 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: that sounds like a homicide. Breaks the skin. But the 795 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: Dolphins should have been up fifty four to nothing at 796 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: the end of the quarter today. That was serious. Nothing 797 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: people are talking about like, Oh, the Patriots. That was 798 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 1: a big win for them over Denver because now they're 799 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: gonna have the tiebreak for the potential number one seed. 800 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: With the schedule that the Patriots have in the next 801 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: five weeks. I don't know the Dolphins are good enough 802 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: to compete for a division title, aren't they. I know 803 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: you guys think, oh, because the Dolphins haven't done it 804 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: in the past, but the past doesn't matter anymore. I 805 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: think they're good enough to compete for a wild card, 806 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: but they don't have Tom Brady and Gronk. If the 807 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: Patriots or the Broncos or the Colts or any of 808 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,919 Speaker 1: these teams beat the Chargers thirty seven, nothing we would 809 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: be lining up to right. This is the best team 810 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: in the NFL because they were so unlucky to lose 811 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: to the Packers on the last play. If it wasn't Greg. 812 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: When we talk about the Patriots and the Broncos with 813 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: Manning and Brady, they've been doing it for years and years. 814 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: And how many times we've seen this story with the 815 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: Dolphins where we get invested in them and then they 816 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: go into one of those funks. It happened last year. 817 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: I've never been invested in Yeah, let's go back to 818 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: the podcast and then begin into Severn and see what 819 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: Greg was saying. My point is that they have a 820 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: knack for going into funks that you don't see coming. 821 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannell has been great and credit to your boy 822 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: Mark the Laser, who seems to have brought something out 823 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 1: to him recently. But at the same time, I would 824 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: I be stunned if Tannehill went back into the tank. 825 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: I would not. Here's a factor. Tannehill let slip last 826 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: week that Dan Marino has been tutoring him and that's 827 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: coincided with his hot streak. I don't know if that's 828 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: a laser might not like that. I don't know if 829 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: the factor either, But Tannehill credit to him there. I 830 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: hope as analysis that Tannell is better than what we 831 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 1: see on TV. Not a single receiver with more than 832 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: sixty five yards through the ten different guys. I mean, 833 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: it's it is an interesting It was the best start 834 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: of his career. I thought, Yeah. I mean my thing 835 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: is that they can they run the ball really well. 836 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: Laser has cooked up a great running game and they 837 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: have a great pass rush part of that secondary. It's like, 838 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: what more do you need? Yeah, Newton, Wilson and Kaepernick 839 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: are the only three quarterbacks with more rushing yards in 840 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 1: him this year. And okay, and what what's going on 841 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: with the Chargers? I mean, what what happened to this team? 842 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: When they were five and one, we were talking them 843 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: up as a Super Bowl contender and now they look 844 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: like a team that couldn't get out of it. So 845 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: one of the reasons that we love I think they 846 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: were so productive early on was their secondary, which was 847 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: a disaster last season, was completely remade and playing very well. 848 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: They're they're injured. I think they need to get Ryan 849 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: Matthews back. Think I believe their defense has given up 850 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: thirty one points a game over the last four or 851 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: five games. Whereas early in season nobody scored more than 852 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 1: twenty one in a game on them. They're not stopping anybody, 853 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: and obviously they got shut out, so they're not doing 854 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: that well in offense either. They have a buy now, 855 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,879 Speaker 1: and then they come out of it with two home 856 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: games Oakland and St. Louis. So you think you can 857 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: get healthy there to get the seven and four. But 858 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: it's impossible to catch up in the a f C 859 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: West now, and you just lost the game to another 860 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: potential wild card contender in the Dolphin. It's gonna be 861 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: so hard to get in in the a f C. 862 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,760 Speaker 1: This was a big loss. So we got a rally 863 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: around the Chargers. Yeah, I think so. And it was 864 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 1: so big of you when you decided to come along 865 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: with us and and pick them as the team. I 866 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: think you got to show some loyalty here. I've actually 867 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: got a lot of tweets in the opposite direction today 868 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:46,879 Speaker 1: blaming me for for really not taking a stand against that, 869 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: and that if it if it wasn't, if I had 870 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: actually gone with my feelings, the Chargers wouldn't be the 871 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: team of we might have a more fun team to watch, 872 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: or we'd have no teams we're heading towards a non agreement. 873 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: I think that would be preferable to great. You can 874 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: spin it anyway in the end us all kind of 875 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: pressuring and going along with it. It hasn't worked out 876 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: great so far, sped. It's a results based business, and 877 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:17,359 Speaker 1: we blew it. I missed the Panthers. We did all right, 878 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: We move on. The Chiefs have won three in a 879 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: row and five of six after taking care of the 880 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: d o A New York Jets at Arrowhead Stadium. Alex 881 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: Smith was again efficient, throwing for two touchdowns no turnovers. 882 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: The Jets guys have lost eight straight since opening the 883 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 1: season with a win over the Raiders. Cool this officially 884 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 1: clinches I think the first go get my sandwich proposition 885 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: of our Week one show where Mark made one where 886 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: the Jets will have a winning record. They can no 887 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: longer have a winning You owe me a sandwich. By 888 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: the way, it was about a month ago that I 889 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: was pitching the Jets is team of a t L. 890 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know where my head was. 891 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: I was completely wrong four days ago that I picked 892 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 1: him to win this game. And that's up with that. Yeah, 893 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 1: before we go on. Also, there was one clinch. Before that, 894 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: it was TD predicting Megatron about thirty seven touch Technically 895 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: there's plenty of time left, alright, Well no, oh no, 896 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: so yeah, let's talk about Percy Harviny. He had nine catches, 897 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 1: a hundred thirty yards catches, eleven catches, well, all right, 898 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: and he had a long kickoff retune that would have 899 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: went for a touchdown most likely you got tripped up 900 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: by Chiefs kicker Kiro Santos, which was a penalty. He 901 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: he looked like a guy that can be a centerpiece 902 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: of their offenses. And if there's one thing if you're 903 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: Jets mean to look forward to down the stretches, it 904 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: seeing if Harvin can can become a guy that you 905 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: could build around rather him become a rental that disappears 906 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: after a couple of months. Michael Vick played well enough 907 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: in this game. He didn't play great, but he didn't. 908 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: He did something that you just don't see from the 909 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: Jets Uh in the last couple of years that he 910 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: wasn't the quarterback that committed killer turnovers. They had no 911 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: turnovers and Uh threw a touchdown, was efficient in terms 912 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 1: of passing, and that was enough for Rex Ryan to 913 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: at the postgame press conference. The name the VIC starter 914 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: unless he's not healthy, which tells you everything you need 915 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: to know about To me Gino Smith, uh that that's 916 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: all Vic really had to do was not uh self 917 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:33,479 Speaker 1: destruct and put together literally one scoring drive against Tea. Yeah, 918 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 1: ten points they scored all game and then when three 919 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: of them were off a kick return, right, so they 920 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: really they often scored seven points. One question for you 921 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: in so you're watching this team and I've seen this, 922 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, as a Brown someone who's fall the Browns 923 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: where the season is just utterly crumbling, the floors falling out. 924 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: Do you want the current GM to pick the next 925 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 1: coach or do you just white wipe this whole thing. 926 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,399 Speaker 1: I feel like I've been on record on this one. Yeah, 927 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: I want him out. This is the most Uh, I 928 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: want the whole thing. Because he's also gonna they have 929 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: to pick another quarterback because this is the top Woody Johnson, 930 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 1: there's no way he can make the decision uh to 931 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: have Zick pick. If the Jets end up with the 932 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 1: top three pick in the draft, which we seem to 933 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 1: be heading towards potentially, and they're gonna take a quarterback, 934 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 1: we all know that unless they somehow take another defensive player, 935 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: which would be hilarious, but uh, they cannot let Zick 936 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: do it. They just can't do it. If I'm it Zick, 937 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,959 Speaker 1: I I fire Rex Ryan, and I trade a first 938 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: round pick for interim head coach Sperrano from the Raiders, 939 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: and then I leave town, blowing New York's chances for 940 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,840 Speaker 1: another year. Let's talk about the relevant team in this. 941 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: This is this is the most Chiefs game ever. We 942 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,320 Speaker 1: won't even talk about him. They don't throw a pass 943 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,240 Speaker 1: over thirteen yards? Do they have one pass over thirteen yards? 944 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: And they just kind of cruised to win. It was 945 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: just they took our business. You know. This is they 946 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 1: didn't play. They didn't play a great game, but they 947 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: basically did. When you play bad teams like the Jets, 948 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 1: all you gotta do is you don't know catastrophic catastrophic turnovers. 949 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: Jamal Charles didn't have a flashy day, but found the 950 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: end zone. Both their tight ends had touchdowns. Justin Houston, Yeah, 951 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 1: justin Houston is Uh, he's just been dominant. He had 952 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: two more sacks. He's got twelve on the year now. 953 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 1: So that guy is a special player. I mean the Chiefs. 954 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: We say it every week if you throw out that 955 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: first week, they've been competitive weekend week out, and not 956 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 1: just competitive, they they're winning almost every week, five out 957 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: of six. I guess there are another team that's five 958 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 1: and three with the Browns and other teams, So all 959 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,359 Speaker 1: these teams that are five and three are kind of 960 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 1: in the same boat. But I would I would put 961 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 1: the Chiefs of our uh someone that we're put doing 962 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 1: a power rankings of these five and three teams, I'd 963 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: certainly put them over the Browns. I think they're a better, 964 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 1: more well rounded team. Greg, you mentioned there's no wide 965 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,399 Speaker 1: receiver on Kansas City as a touchdown this season. Yeah, 966 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: it's it's all Kelsey. I mean, we knew that was 967 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: a weakness and getting credit to Read for finding ways 968 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,360 Speaker 1: to do what he's done without with an obvious weakness 969 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: in his offense. Eventually, you would think you're gonna have 970 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: to throw the ball down the field to win at 971 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,080 Speaker 1: least deep into the playoffs. But this team could be 972 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: a playoff team. It wouldn't It wouldn't shock me if 973 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 1: they end up getting that sixth seed in the f C. 974 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: All right, before we get to the last game, we 975 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 1: got the report from rap sheet NFL media insider Ian 976 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 1: Rappaport that Nick Foles is out at least a month 977 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 1: with a broken collar bone. So it is Mark Sancho's 978 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 1: Mark Sanche's time in Philly for the foreseeable future. Yikes. 979 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,080 Speaker 1: Why am I weirdly excited about this? Not happy that 980 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: you're not happy someone got injured, but there is something 981 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 1: just interesting about seeing Sanchez taking over such a good 982 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 1: team at this point of the season, and to the 983 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 1: people I was getting a few tweets when he came 984 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: to the game, wouldn't this be the worst thing ever? 985 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: If Sanchez came in was great for the Eagles. Now, 986 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,480 Speaker 1: of course I'll be happy for the guy. There's no 987 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: bad blood between the Jets fans and Sanchez. It's just 988 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 1: it didn't work out. It was time for him to 989 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 1: move on, and now he's gonna get an opportunity, and 990 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: if he plays well, who knows, he keeps the job 991 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 1: and he plays great if he if he loses the 992 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 1: job when falls comes back, maybe say Chose gets a 993 00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: job done, then we can win a playoff game or 994 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: two for the third time in his career. It wouldn't 995 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: be that shocking. All right, let's get to the Sunday 996 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:14,640 Speaker 1: night game. Oh johnt Ben Roethlisberger. Oh my god, Ben Roethlisberger. 997 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,800 Speaker 1: He threw six touchdowns in the game for the second 998 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: consecutive week. Chris Westling, this is he's the first quarterback 999 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,760 Speaker 1: in NFL history to accomplish that feat, leading the Steelers 1000 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 1: to a forty three to three win over the Baltimore 1001 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 1: Ravens at Hines Field in just two weeks. And this 1002 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 1: tells you what's going on in the log Jams DAFC North. 1003 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,359 Speaker 1: In just two weeks, the Ravens have gone from first 1004 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,240 Speaker 1: to last place. All four teams are in the middle 1005 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,879 Speaker 1: of the hunt. But this day, again was about Ben Roethlisberger, 1006 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: who just went off complete stud performance. He has more 1007 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last two weeks than half the starting 1008 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL have all season, including falls. I 1009 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: believe it's incredible. First, such a good offense. I mean, 1010 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,240 Speaker 1: I you know, in our mid season, you know, do overs, 1011 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 1: take a look at what you done right or wrong? 1012 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 1: I you know, not even thinking about it. Pick Pittsburgh 1013 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. And they're starting to you know, 1014 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: here's the thing, though, they are starting to look like 1015 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,880 Speaker 1: that team that's going to take command of a division 1016 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 1: that right now is close. But it wasn't just ten 1017 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: days ago that we were talking about the Ravens is 1018 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,280 Speaker 1: the clear front and runner and consistent team. Way two weeks, 1019 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:20,919 Speaker 1: we'll see where we are. I'm not ready to say 1020 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,959 Speaker 1: they go looking at the schedule. We'll get to the game. 1021 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: Uh a little bit more in a second, but I 1022 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 1: just want to say the Steelers are well set up 1023 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,960 Speaker 1: here now they have They're at the Jets next week. 1024 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,399 Speaker 1: Who knows how many touchdowns he throws against the Jet secondary. Uh, 1025 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 1: probably at least eleven. I would guess that would be 1026 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 1: so at Jets at Titans, and they hit their bye week, 1027 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: so we're looking at eight and three most likely. And 1028 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: then they got Saints at Bengals at Falcons, home to 1029 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs and home to Bengals. This it's crazy how quickly 1030 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: the game can turn. I mean, they had three three 1031 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 1: announced to start the game. They had a drive where 1032 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: he got sacked three straight times. Uh. And then the Ravens, 1033 00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 1: who seemed like they should have been ahead by more, 1034 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: turned the pall over a couple of times. They had 1035 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,360 Speaker 1: a chance in this game, but the couple of plays 1036 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 1: that really stand out to me is when Ben Roethlisberger 1037 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 1: extended to play. It was a third and five and 1038 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: he eluded Ravens tackler just before the half. And the 1039 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,160 Speaker 1: next play that's when he goes deep, too deep to 1040 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,720 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Have been the same thing for three weeks now. 1041 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: The Steelers have that quick strike offense. If you're turning 1042 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,320 Speaker 1: the ball over, you could be down three touchdowns in 1043 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 1: a heartbeat. And they're averaging forty one points a game 1044 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: since adding Martevios Bryant to the next It's a shame 1045 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: they wasted six games on Justin Brown as their number 1046 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: three receives. Well maybe they needed that time to get 1047 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: Briant hot, but they have been a completely different offense 1048 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 1: when they've added him in as a red zone weapon. 1049 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 1: And you look at Baltimore and the Ravens are a 1050 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: very complete team and they're gonna be right in it 1051 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 1: till the end. But the Steelers, and of any team 1052 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 1: in that division, has the juiciest collection of weapons. And 1053 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 1: when they're operating at that power, because Big Ben, I'll 1054 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: take him over Andy Dalton a day of the week. 1055 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 1: That no, but no, But because here's the thing everyone 1056 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: Everyone always likes to talk about the Bengals with with oh, 1057 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 1: they're the most complete team in the division, But no 1058 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: they're not, because the only position that really matters to 1059 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 1: get you farther into January is what Big Ben offers 1060 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,560 Speaker 1: the Steelers and that's the difference. And this is also 1061 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,319 Speaker 1: in in credit all credit to Big Ben what he 1062 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: was able to do to on Sunday night, Legart Blunt 1063 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: and Levyan Bell combined for twenty carries for forty three yards. 1064 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,800 Speaker 1: So basically, Roethlisberger put the offense on his back. Antonio 1065 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: Brown again like deserves to be in any discussion of 1066 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: best running wide receiver in football right now. Eleven for one, 1067 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: one in a touch, Uh, West, I know you championed 1068 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,440 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh earlier in the season. Is your team around the NFL? 1069 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,919 Speaker 1: And you have a very self satisfied look on your face. 1070 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,879 Speaker 1: Smug it is, it's smug. But listen the way things 1071 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: have broke now suddenly. And Roethlisberger is not gonna keep 1072 00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: this up every week. He will next week against the Jets, 1073 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,799 Speaker 1: but he's bound to cool off a little bit. But 1074 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 1: the way they look right now, they are right in 1075 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 1: the mix right now. Is in the a f C 1076 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 1: for sure. Little peek behind the curtain for our listeners. 1077 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 1: Dan came dancing into the studio tonight. He's got Grateful Dead. 1078 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 1: Franklin's Tower playing is a new tradition on Sunday nights. 1079 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: Moods to Touch of Gray and Franklin's Tower the two 1080 00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: way know. Just put you in that good mood. Let 1081 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 1: me read you this tweet because I got about thirty 1082 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,319 Speaker 1: thirty of these tweets with the same tenor. This is 1083 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,359 Speaker 1: from low s Quail Eggs on Twitter. Please convince your 1084 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 1: fellow heroes to switch the Team of at L to 1085 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers. They're as exciting as you build them to be. Well, 1086 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,919 Speaker 1: now that they've added likable fellows like James Harrison back 1087 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: into the mix, how could we resist. That's not suspicious 1088 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 1: at all. Like the eight Again, I don't care who's 1089 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 1: on the team as long as they're exciting to watch. 1090 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: The problem with Team of a t L beyond the 1091 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 1: fact that it really is going to be the Team 1092 00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 1: of Wesley or We're gonna have problems, is that Paul did. 1093 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 1: The issue is consensus. The Steelers got whacked out of 1094 00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: this race. I wasn't even in the room. M yeah, 1095 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: but by the way, because I whacked them officially. But 1096 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm not getting behind as a team of around the NFL, 1097 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: A five times Super Bowl winner with a Hall of 1098 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 1: Fame quarterback. That's not the spirit of this. It's absolutely 1099 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,919 Speaker 1: the spirit of it. They weren't supposed to be good 1100 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,160 Speaker 1: this year, Like a t L is the only group 1101 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 1: that actually picked them to win the division, and they're 1102 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 1: just exciting to watch. I still don't get how their 1103 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 1: defense is good. Like I'm not that shocked that the 1104 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 1: offense has turned into one of the top five offense 1105 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 1: in the league. I don't get that. Brett Keisel and 1106 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 1: James Harrison are two of the key parts of a 1107 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 1: defense that's playing. And I think there's a factory where 1108 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,439 Speaker 1: you open a door and there's like twenty five Brett 1109 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,800 Speaker 1: Keisels and they just will at the newest machine version 1110 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,879 Speaker 1: of James Harrison's best defensive coordinator in football. Maybe that's 1111 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 1: one of trust in the Steelers defense. I don't at all. 1112 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 1: I won't say what Mark said when they were coming upstairs. 1113 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 1: He said he was going to refer to Big Big 1114 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 1: Ben by a different name. We can't say it on 1115 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,439 Speaker 1: this podcast. But I don't begrudge and he's a he's 1116 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:10,120 Speaker 1: a good quarterback that you I grew up and as 1117 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 1: a Browns fan, you know Ben Roethlisberger. This is why 1118 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 1: it's insane that Wesley thinks he's You should never be 1119 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 1: a politician, and you won't be one that you're gonna 1120 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,799 Speaker 1: build consensus in this room with Pittsburgh his team of 1121 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 1: a t L when I'm not even the one that 1122 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,279 Speaker 1: knocked him out. These guys got rid of him for 1123 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 1: the right. They're not an underdog team. No matter how 1124 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,839 Speaker 1: you build them. You can never Bill Pittsburgh is an 1125 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: underdog team. Don't sell them the Chargers. This will get 1126 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,640 Speaker 1: us up again because we can't give up up. There 1127 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:48,800 Speaker 1: you go, Charger's charges, that songs more. I picked the 1128 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 1: Jets that was very solid around the NFL team, and 1129 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,839 Speaker 1: I don't know where you guys went. So that's it 1130 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,839 Speaker 1: for Sunday's edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. We'll 1131 00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,720 Speaker 1: be back on Wednesday for another week of citing NFL 1132 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: fun and don't forget the big showdown win West.
