1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to the official Good Morning Football podcast.

2
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm Will Selven. Here are the best moments from this

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: week so far at the Breakfast Table. Weekate brought us

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: everything from a Minneapolis miracle rematch to another swap at

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: quarterback for Tampa. Let's find out what the Breakfast Table

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: thought about some of the biggest games from this week.

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: Let's get into the first round of highlights that we

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: saw with the Saints and the Vikings. Some takeaways from that,

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: because for me, the Vikings just killed themselves with turnovers. Yeah,

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: the Vikings had had plenty of turnovers, but you look

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: at this New Orleans Saints team. When this defense is

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: playing lights out, when they're getting after the quarterback, this

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: team looks totally different. Now. It allows Drew Brees to

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: be complimentary. To play complimentary football, you don't need his

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame arm when the defense is balling out,

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: when they're when they're able to run the football and

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: they're able to create turnovers and stop the other team

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: from getting in the end zone. If this defense can

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: keep this up, the New Orleans Saints will be playing

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: late into this season. They will be playing late into January.

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Great great performance by this New Orleans Saints defense. Yeah,

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: Breeze only through for one hundred and twenty yards. You

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: don't need to You'll need to throw Alvin Kamara and

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: mark Ingram. Since Ingram is back, they haven't lounched a game.

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: They made to move up in the draft to get

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: Marcus Davenport. He had a sack last night. I believe

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: he's got four on the season now for him. And

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: that strip, I mean Cousins was down. So that tells

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: me it's not only an attacking defense and a defense

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: that's hoping that they're gonna play better on the back

31
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: end now that they've got Eli Apple, hoping he can

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: play well there, but also creating turnovers and creating pressure upfront.

33
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: And that's what you've got to do in this league

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: if you're going to be a successful defense. If you

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: would have told me that Kirk Cousins was gonna throw

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: for three hundred fifty nine yards and two touchdowns, I

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: would say that the Vikers would have won the game.

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Right when you look at the Saints, they're wins. Look

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: at what they've done two weeks in Rona are They

40
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: went into Baltimore last week against the team that was

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: coming off eleven sacks and they protected Drew Brees and

42
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: he did a great job on third down against Blitz.

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: All that, and then they go into Minnesota again against

44
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: another great defense. I mean, I don't know if we're

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: giving enough Drew Brees enough credit. We should be talking

46
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: about him in the MVP category. We're talking about golf

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: and Mahomes and Girly, but what Drew Brees has done. Yeah,

48
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: the numbers may not be either, but weekend and week out,

49
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: he's finding ways to win games. Think about some of

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: these close games that they've had. Now, they just won

51
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: two tough ones on the road, but they also the

52
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: extra point missed by Justin Tucker close game right there.

53
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: They needed a missed field goal against Cleveland to win

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: that game. So the Saints they're battle tested right now,

55
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: and they're a tough team right now. They're a tough holus.

56
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned, you mentioned something about the Minnesota Vikings.

57
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: They thought the quarterback change would be the difference in

58
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: this team. They're throwing for a lot more yards. Kirk

59
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: Cousins obviously is better than Case Kingdom, but it's not

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: resulting in the more wins. And to me, it looks

61
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: like Whenever this team, this Minnesota Vikings team, doesn't capture

62
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, they lose the football game. When

63
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: they don't capture the line of scrimmage, the defense doesn't

64
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: look so good in a lot of these games. I'm

65
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: surprised with this Minnesota Vikings defense because I thought they

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: could kind of recapture what they had last year. And

67
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: it's just you're talking. You talked about it yesterday when

68
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: you said that they're having trouble covering the running backs. Ye,

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: and what did Sean Payton and the Saints do. They

70
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: matched up those linebackers against those running backs and they

71
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: got a couple of big plays off of that. So

72
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: thank you for watching our show. But it all kind

73
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: of comes down to the Saints by the way they

74
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: actually were able to get to the quarterback. They I

75
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: feel like the back end sort of helped out the

76
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: pass for us a little bit. They stacked. They stacked

77
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: Kirk four times, they hit him nine times. It is

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: something that we haven't really seen that much this year.

79
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: We saw it a lot last year, but maybe a

80
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: little switching up on the back end there. Ken Crawley,

81
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: he was a healthy scratch yesterday. So what you're trying

82
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: tore across from Marshall. What are you saying. I don't know.

83
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: Maybe mixed some things up and it kind of worked. Okay.

84
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Jameis wins the eighteen for thirty five two seventy six

85
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: YOG one TD four interceptions, same game plan, same win conditions,

86
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: same everything. Ryan Fitzpatrick goes out fifteen one hundred ninety

87
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: four years two t D zero interceptions. So the environment

88
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: affected one guy but didn't affect it didn't affect the

89
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: other guy. Stopped. Yeah, the win, it just stopped. Probably

90
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: they're in the jungle on its crazy come on with

91
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: youteen interceptions in the last five games. At some point

92
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: you have to say maybe he's not a starter for

93
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: That's the first thing that I thought about this. If

94
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: they do end up keeping Ryan Fitzpatrick in the lineup,

95
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: that probably helps with DeShawn Jackson, who just asked for

96
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: a trade, because him and Fitzpatrick have some pretty good

97
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: chemistry going on, and I feel like those players really

98
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: do respond to Fitzpatrick better than their respond those players

99
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: about James. I was down there the week that Jamis

100
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: came back, and Ian reported on this. I reported on

101
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: this that a lot of guys in the locker felt

102
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: like that week Derek Cutter was laying the groundwork for

103
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston to come back as soon as Fitzpatrick slipped up,

104
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: and he had the worst possible game he could have

105
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: in Chicago that week. Maybe he felt James breathing down

106
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: his neck. So now if your Cutter, okay, you've got

107
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: two options that really aren't great. You've got Jameis Winston

108
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: not playing well, so you could stick with him, or

109
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: you can go back to Ryan Fitzpatrick, in which case

110
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: the locker room's gonna say, dude, this was the guy

111
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: that we wanted in there the whole time. So it's

112
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: a really pivotal point for Dirk Cutter. And I understand

113
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: why he went back to Jamis when Jamis or because

114
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: so he's looking at it long term. He's thinking about

115
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: his job, and he's thinking about the direction of the

116
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: franchise and saying, well, if I can get this guy

117
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: back in here to play, well, hey, look what I'm

118
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: doing with this guy. This is why I should remain

119
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: the job. He should be starting. That's what I'm saying.

120
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: And if it looks like a duck sounds like, I mean,

121
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: you got to call a spade a spade at some point, right,

122
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: and for what to my Jameis Winston. I mean you

123
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: get at some point you got to say, no, my job.

124
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: I have my job based off of us winning games,

125
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: and mine Fitzpatrick gives me a better chance to win games.

126
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, this plot, this is the

127
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: problem that plagued Jameis Winston in college and coming out

128
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: in the draft. Everybody said, well he's ruckles with the football,

129
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: and we're seeing the same thing show up time and

130
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: time again. The Bucks, listen, they're not good enough to

131
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: win games turning the football over. I mean the defense

132
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: is already given up thirty three points a game you had,

133
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: you had four turnovers to it. It makes it even worse.

134
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Mike Smith just got fired a week ago, all right,

135
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: So you can't win games turning the ball over, especially

136
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: not on the road. Now here's the problem to me,

137
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: is you go from the pan to the fire. I mean,

138
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: whether when you want, you could baite this all you want.

139
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick or Winston, they both throw picks. I mean Fitzpatrick

140
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: his last game as a starter, or he threw three

141
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: picks in like six minutes. So I mean, to me,

142
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: I look at this team and I say, Okay, we've

143
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: got a defensive struggle. Maybe we need to run the

144
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: football little bit more and we need to stop throwing

145
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: them first team. Well, how's that working out? You know?

146
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: I mean, but I will say this. I think the

147
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: way that James handled it, Hey, look I've got to

148
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: I've got to play better. Okay, that's good to see.

149
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: It's good to see him stepping up, showing some warnership.

150
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: As a quarterback. You have to take care of that

151
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: ball like you're like your gallum, my precious. I don't

152
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: know that I figured it. You're outside my room. More

153
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: coffee from Mike Jamison. Three books can tell you. Somebody

154
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: hold on Jamison before we go way off it. Jamis

155
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: Winston next year, twenty one million dollars guaranteed for injury only,

156
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: wrapping up in bubble with the Redskins with RG three

157
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: because you don't want the guy getting hurt and being

158
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: on the hook for that if you're not going to

159
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: commit to him for the future. These are the conversations

160
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: and the thoughts that they Honestly, do you really that's

161
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: a math question. You've been in the locker room. Do

162
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: you really think Jameis Winston should be the starting quarterback

163
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers going forward for the foreseeable future. Yeah,

164
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think this was a tough game for him.

165
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: I want to see how he bounces back. So I've

166
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: seen interceptions in five games games. If I was the coach,

167
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: I would still play him because I still thinks he

168
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: gives us the best chance to win. And as you know, man,

169
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: we got Hey, we're in the locker room. Who gives

170
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: us the best chance to win? That's all you guys

171
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: care about that Jamis Winston. I don't care if it's

172
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Jamis or IF's Fitzpatrick. We're gonna ride with either one

173
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: of you guys. But all we want to do is

174
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: win because at the end of the day, that's what

175
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: this game is about. I don't care what your record is.

176
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't care what week it is. And you know

177
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: what I told Winson, Hey, look, if you throw two picks,

178
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: you're gone. That's but as Sean, I'm just being honest.

179
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: I've been in a quarterback competition, was in college. But

180
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot of pressure. You know, every pass

181
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: out throw now was like I hope you know I

182
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: hope it didn't get picked, you know what I mean,

183
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: because you know there's a guy that they're they're willing

184
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: to put in. Yeah, I mean he's got to know

185
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: that though, I mean he knows there's already pressure on

186
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: him with the way Fitzpatrick played early on and coming

187
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: back he felt like, man, I got to keep up

188
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: with this. So by the way, the Bengals just like

189
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: one word on them. They allowed five hundred and seventy

190
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: six yards in this game in a game that Jamis

191
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: Winston was bench. They barely won this game. That's not

192
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: great for them. I mean they are for settra talking

193
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: about that more shout out, we'll come back. Okay, great game,

194
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd. Great game. Yeah, Okay. The Rams actually had

195
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: a slow start to this game. But yeah, it came

196
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: down to Bay's defense came to play, and not just schematically.

197
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: They came to play with the mentality of we are

198
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: going to shut this out, fence down, and they did

199
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: it early on. The problem is it's really hard to

200
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: do it for four quarters now, It's really hard. I

201
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: really thought the secondary of the Green Bay Packers played well.

202
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean Zaire Alexander, I mean, their first round pick

203
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: This dude was all over the place. His tenacity, his

204
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: ability to locate the ball when the ball is in

205
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: the air, and he's a defensive back. That's very tough

206
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: to do. I mean usually Brandon Cooks catches that pass

207
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: on most defensive backs. Look how he's he's playing the

208
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: up shoulder of the of the of the receiver. Fantastic. Yeah,

209
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's clinic work. It's like he's been in

210
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: the league three or four years. Arms too. Look, you

211
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: can see its fact that he can keep up with

212
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and he was coming off an injury. J Alexander,

213
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: he looks exactly the part of the first round. He

214
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: say that plays pr right there too, because they grabbed

215
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: the offhand exactly. And it wasn't just one play here,

216
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: one play there. I saw it three four plays in

217
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: a row with this guy's just balling out. I think

218
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: if they can, if they can lock up on the outside,

219
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: they could just let those pass rushers go and Aaron

220
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers will have a a lot of help of this

221
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: defense can continue to play. That's really promising for the

222
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: Packers considering how well the Packers defense played against the Rams.

223
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: But special teams, the special teams for the Rams. You

224
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: mentioned it in our meeting this morning, how well that

225
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: they played. Yeah, and I mentioned Johnny Hecker given a

226
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: high five to Golf. Well, on fourth down they go

227
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: with a fake punt, all right, he sees Sam Shields,

228
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: a former Greenmy packer, and he throws it to him.

229
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: So that every single week they find a different way

230
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: to win games. This time the special teams helped out.

231
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: And then also Hecker down two punts inside the five

232
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: yard line, one of them led to the safety. There

233
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: you go. So you look at this the fumble at

234
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: the end of the game too. So the Rams great

235
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: on offense, They've got a great defense, and now they've

236
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: got the three headed monsters. Yeah, they won the third phase.

237
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: And I saw a golf struggle. It seemed like he

238
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: was a little off earlier in this Earlier in this game,

239
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He wasn't as sharp as we usually see

240
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: him off with a couple of throws. But they played

241
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: complimentary football. You just mentioned to Sean to down that

242
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: football on the one yard line. You could see that

243
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: the defense came back when the field like we're gonna

244
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: score points here. And then when they started scoring points

245
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: after that you know the game was pretty much over.

246
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: You go to that time Montgomery play, And I'm pulling

247
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: up our colleague Mike Silver's article off of this game

248
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: last night, quoting one Packers coach saying Aaron was hot

249
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: and he had a right to be. He yelled, take up.

250
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: He's very very bad talk. And I hear I hear

251
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: people saying that, right. But usually as a returner, they

252
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: let you know if you can catch the ball going forward,

253
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: or you can catch the ball and going back. It's

254
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: all about timmy. I don't necessarily think he made He

255
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: should have all, you know, should have taken a knee,

256
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: just hold on to the football. Just don't fumble. And

257
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: you give Aaron Rodgers an opportunity because he only caught

258
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: it what two yards deep? Yeah, with his foot in

259
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: the ground ready to go forward. So it wasn't a

260
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: bad It wasn't a bad decision to take it out.

261
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: It was a bad decision to fumble the football. Yeah,

262
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: And I think ty and let's say he had run

263
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: the ball back to the forty. Now, hey, look I

264
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: just gave it our great field position. All we need

265
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: is a field goal. So now it's a great play

266
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: to your point if you're a player, if you're time,

267
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: I want to make a play. Yeah. I get the

268
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: coaching aspect of it, but if Tye knew he was

269
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: gonna fumble, he would have kept. If he would have

270
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: known he was gonna from people know Todd Montgomery's you know,

271
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: his touches have gone down offensively. Yeah, I can't tell

272
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: he wants to do something to affect the game. And

273
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: I think that's what happened. Yeah, good stuff, Mike pressing,

274
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: that's no good, Croston North Turner. I think we should

275
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: because I think a lot I kind of questioned when

276
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Norv was like, he I'm gonna help Cam have a

277
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: completion percentage in the seventies or like high sixties, and

278
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: that was nowhere near where Cam had been in his career,

279
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: and we've seen such a difference. I was nervous when

280
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: I first heard that Norv Turner was going to be

281
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: the play caller in Carolina, just because whoever is the

282
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: play caller, the offense runs do Cam Newton and you

283
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: have to incorporate the quarterback run. Norv comes from a

284
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: school of thought from you know, the late nineties in

285
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboy. Yeah, Yeah, which is more of a

286
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: number system, UH deep digs down the football field, pushing

287
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, not necessarily quarterback runs. But

288
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: norv has evolved. You see the oceans and shifts. You

289
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,359
Speaker 1: see how he manufactures a run game for Christian McCaffrey

290
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton, and how he manipulates the eighth defender.

291
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: If you're guarding his team, you don't know where to

292
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: insert your safety. You don't know whether there's going to

293
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: be a read option in RPO or just a straight

294
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: quarterback run. So I have to give kudos to nor

295
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: of Turner because he has definitely evolved his play call.

296
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: He has and he's always been one of the more

297
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: open minded coaches, because a lot of times coaches are right,

298
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: here's what we do versus what do we have and

299
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: what can we do with what we have. I'm gonna

300
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: take you back to Teddy Bridgewater Pro Day. I covered

301
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: that at Louisville, and I remember how much negativity there

302
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: was from all the other coaches and scouts. There can't

303
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: do this? Is he gonna have to wear the gloves

304
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: in the end of half small hands all this stuff again.

305
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Donovan McNab and I were colleagues at Fox at the time,

306
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: Donovan and talk to the norv and I got the

307
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: eavesdrop and you heard so much positivity from nor Oh.

308
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't worry about that. I don't worry about that.

309
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: What can he do it? And he round up having

310
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: him in Minnesota and I remember thinking to myself, that's

311
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: what I won from a coach. Don't look at what

312
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: he can't do, tell me what he can do. And

313
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: then Taylor, what you do to that? And he's doing

314
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: it in Carolina. Two things that jump out of me

315
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: with this Carolina team that it probably underrated, and yeah,

316
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm a former role linman, so I'm gonna talk about him.

317
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: They lost both their starting tackles really in the Sea

318
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams. I mean I think he went on I

319
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: R twice once in training camp and once in this season.

320
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: And then they also put Matt Khalil on IR. So

321
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: they've got Taylor Moton playing a right tackle, They've got

322
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Chris Clark playing left tackle, and then they've got Greg

323
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: Vanner Roden playing left guard. And I think when you

324
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: look at this pocket, what Cam's doing from the pocket.

325
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: We know we can run, we know we can do

326
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: the option, and all those plays but he's making a

327
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: lot of these throws from the pocket. North Turner deserves credit,

328
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: but they're doing a great job protecting him. And then

329
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. Don't think that

330
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers defense didn't read all these hot headlines about

331
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: how good Baltimore's defense was. They're the number one this

332
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: and one that they took it to heart. And that

333
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: that linebacker trio for Carolina right now, Shack Thompson, Luke

334
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: Keakley and Thomas Davis. Those are the three best linebacks

335
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: in league right now in their showing it. And you

336
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: also have to give a shout out to Eric and DJ.

337
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: Eric Reid is balling right now, probably playing some of

338
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: the best safety work in National Football League on This

339
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: Panthers team could be scary in the second half of

340
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: the season, especially this offense could really evolve. So Russell Wilson, Mikeye,

341
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: I know you want to talk about Tyler Lockett's Russell

342
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: Wilson perfect passer rating for him and this game and

343
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: the run game they had that going. Chris Carson had

344
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards. The running set up the pass

345
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: like it was perfect. But they all worked the offensive

346
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: line look good I think what's happened is this Seahawk

347
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: team has found their identity. Early in the season, they

348
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line looked a little messed up.

349
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: They were getting the quarterback hit a lot, they weren't

350
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: running the ball that well. Well. I think Russell had

351
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: an injury which kept him in the pocket a lot.

352
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: He still played through it, and what happened is it

353
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: kind of helped the offensive line because now they knew

354
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: exactly where he's gonna set up. They knew exactly which

355
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: launch point to protect. And in the past and years past,

356
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: he was always running the football all over the place,

357
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: trying to make explosive plays down the football field. He's

358
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: calmed that down and now they've settled in on Chris

359
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: Carson as their lead back, and they need to get

360
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: this guy the ball as much as they possibly can.

361
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: This guy is legit in the run game. Um a

362
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: slicer of a runner. He can he can beat you

363
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: with speed. He also knows how to Jesus you know what,

364
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I like the dark creased runs and outside zone right.

365
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: He understands how to get the dirty three to dirty

366
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: four yards. And he's also a viable in the passing game.

367
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: So to me, the Seahawks have found their idea. When

368
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: you have that too, that also matches with the Seahawks mentality,

369
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: that that that have hit you in the mouth when

370
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: things are going well, we're gonna play you physically. You're right.

371
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: I did want to talk about Tyler Lockett. I love

372
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: this guy because you can have the wheels, you can

373
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: have all that speed, agility and all that stuff that

374
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: you want, but you've got to create separations somehow. He's

375
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: able to do it because he does not now know.

376
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: Look it takes an accurate quarterback because the quarterbacks got

377
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: to put it in the right spot here. But look

378
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: just that body nudge ye when is it body controls

379
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: and maybe underestimated it is bent on pressure right on

380
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: the hip. That's how you get a little separation at

381
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the bottom without the referee seeing. You gotta know about

382
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: le Fridge and points and people have to remember Doug

383
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: Ballwin is always on this is also on this team.

384
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: He is a master ass separating. He teaches these young

385
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: guys and helps him out how to get separations. When

386
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: this guy was coming into the draft, I saw that production.

387
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: A lot of teams ignored it because he said, well

388
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: he's too small. Seahawks said, no, you honor that production.

389
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: And you see the way that he can translate to

390
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. Y you mentioned the identity for the Seahawks.

391
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: How about their defense going on the role hold in

392
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: the fourteen points and what they have thirty four yards

393
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: rushing after carry On Johnson put one hundred fifty eight

394
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: last week, So good job by the I was surprised

395
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: that they couldn't get carry On Johnson going, and I

396
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: know you love part of that. I need carry On

397
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: to just continue carrying on. Aaron Monarchs, thank you at magnet.

398
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Malmes. Is he the MVP right now through eight

399
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. What does one think Michael Robinson? Well,

400
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: I think I said it did we got the sound.

401
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: I think I said, future MVP of the league this year,

402
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: young guy. Hold of this champions right this year? Kansas

403
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: City Chiefs as something ugly broke. I don't think it's broke.

404
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: Look at this Chavis Kelsey catching all those touchdowns. Look

405
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: at Tyrech Hill, Kareem hud getting involved. This guy to

406
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: throw the ball from all at all the types of

407
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: different angles, and he has the mad scientists and Andy

408
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: Reid there to make sure that he can get that

409
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: offense manufacturer. I'm telling you, Mas, that's what Christal Ball said. Guys,

410
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: you didn't see it. I'm just saying, you know what

411
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, fall weekend, maybe you should start. That was

412
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: in September. I'm just saying Andy Reid early in the season. Um,

413
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: you listen, you look at what he did. He let

414
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: a playoff quarterback and Alex Smith walk. And so now

415
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: that we're seeing why we know we let him walk

416
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: because he had Patrick Mahomes sitting right there. I talked

417
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: to a lot of guys in this locker room, A

418
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: lot of guys in this locker room thought he possibly

419
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: could have played last year, that he was ready last year.

420
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: Showed it in that one game at the end of

421
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: the season. Yes, he yes, he did. And you always

422
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: wonder if the rest of the National Football League is

423
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: gonna catch up with Andy Reid and is play calling. Um,

424
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I think this year I mean you you mean you, yeah,

425
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: I do. But I think this year is a little different, guys,

426
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: because really the armed talent of the quarterback, I think

427
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: he can make some of these passes. He can make

428
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: certain passes that it doesn't matter that you're in the

429
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: right defense. He's just gonna beat you with with just talent.

430
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: And so I think that's why this year is a

431
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: little bit different for the Kansas City Chiefs. That was

432
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: our Crystal Football segment that we did to start the season.

433
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: I love what it did to your shirt. And they

434
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: said pattern on your shirt. This shirt does not say Monday.

435
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: It says because no, that listen supposed to do on Monday.

436
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: But then what does my shirt say? Does this same

437
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: Monday back? That's the traps. It isn't say nothing anytime,

438
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: might anytime? Never mind. That's that's what do you want

439
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: to talk about? Top I avoided that trap step really great. Yeah,

440
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: sweater is great though, Yeah, thank you. Well, this shirt

441
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: says Monday. We Tid Gurley should he be the MVP

442
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: because now you've got the numbers that he's putting up

443
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: that are borderline Ladany and Tomlins And we said he

444
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: did punt on one, by the way, when he decided

445
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: at the end of this game. I'll get that in

446
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: a second. But but he's a receiving threat. And it's

447
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: funny because when we were showing the stats, Mike rob

448
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: You said to me, you know, that's what we do

449
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: with running backs now the complete running backs. We don't

450
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: show rushing guards. We showed scrimming jars because they are

451
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: dual threats and this guy is certainly at the top

452
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: of that list. He's the best running back in the

453
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: National Football League, right the MVP. Let's face it, it's

454
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback award. They end up getting it. But I

455
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: think Todd Gurle, I mean not since Jim Brown is

456
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: anybody doing what he's doing, what he's done this this

457
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: season already? Really you got numbers for that, yeah, I do.

458
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: I was just reading it. He's got fifteen touchdowns through

459
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: eight games. Jim Brown had seventeen. But when you think

460
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: about just what he means to that team, Look the

461
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: Kensey the Chiefs, they start out six and oh before

462
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: we've seen this Chiefs team before. Can they sustain him?

463
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: But Todd Gurley, what he's doing, he led the team

464
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: and receiving last year. I mean, he's doing it all.

465
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: So Jim Brown had lesser competition. I think North Turner's

466
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: certainly making a difference with Cam Newton. Well, we're halfway

467
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: through this season, so it's time to hand out some

468
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: midterm grades. Let's hear we're kind of grades the GMFB

469
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: cruise giving the rookies new head coaches and teams around

470
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: the league. So as a week comes to close, we

471
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: are giving out mid term grades and we're focusing here

472
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: on the AFC. So everybody grab your whiteboard. We really

473
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: got through a lot the last time we did question

474
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: here we go, Wow, you under a lot of coffee today? Okay,

475
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: which AFC team deserves an a high on life? I'm

476
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: gonna start. Can you come last? You get a chance

477
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: to you? I know you're ready to go. I am not.

478
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna draw it because everybody's going to chief

479
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: That's I'm gonna embarrass myself. Okay, everybody, everybody, it's a fish.

480
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: I think Kansas City Chiefs. Everybody's gonna say that they

481
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: really are complete. And I like what I hear from

482
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: Michael Robinson. Mike rob not here today. I like what

483
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: here from Michael Robins as far as what he thinks

484
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: about Andy Reid going forward, because he's the guy that

485
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: always says, once Andy Reid gets figured out by the

486
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: rest of the league, the second half of the season

487
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: is a problem. But he believes there's just so many weapons.

488
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Number one, but number two, Patrick Mahomes and his arms

489
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: strength's gonna be able to overcome that. So if Mike

490
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: Rob's sold, I am sold a plus plus For the Chiefs,

491
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: they have so many weapons. It's like even when their

492
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: main guys aren't going, they can get Sammy Watkins going.

493
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: It's like they I don't know how you even defend them.

494
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: So for the sake of brevity, we all say the

495
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs deserving a Yeah, okay, yeah, all right, go ahead,

496
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: you got well I probably should have win last because

497
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: I've probably got what everybody has. But I threw you

498
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: gave a plus very Patriots a regular aid to the Chiefs.

499
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: I did. I did because it Chiefs defense. Still, you

500
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: know that ben but own break at some point. I

501
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: feel like they're gonna break and so and then the

502
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: Patriots did beat the Chiefs in the head the head,

503
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: So you go, okay, But the Charge is a really

504
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: good football team too that a lot of people aren't

505
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: talking about. Ye, So that's my great I like it

506
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: A good job protecting rivers. I'm gonna I'm gonna go

507
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: co signed with the Chiefs, but I'm going with the Patriots.

508
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: And it feels like just yesterday right that the Patriots

509
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: were two and two, and everybody said, what's wrong with

510
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady? And oh my gosh, everybody was questioning, what's

511
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: wrong the offense? Well, Edelman's not there, he's suspended, you know, Gronk,

512
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: what's going on with that? This defense was giving up

513
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: an unbelievable lot of points the debacle in Detroit, Right,

514
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: and then here we are. Now there's six and two

515
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: after last night, they're at the top. Oh and, by

516
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: the way, who scored more points than any other offense

517
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: in the NFL since Week four? The Patriots? Patriots? How

518
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: did I know they're averaging thirty six points a game?

519
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: They are last night? So yeah, they get an A

520
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: and it just seems like, hey, look, Sony Michelle and

521
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm playing no problem. We'll put Cordella passing back there.

522
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: He canna leave. They just find a way to plug guys,

523
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: and no high, we don't have a running at him

524
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: over there. They're always prepared today. Okay, which team is

525
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: the most improved in the AFC? Oh, this is easy

526
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: for me? All right, all right, I'll go first on. Yeah,

527
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Houston Texans, right, all right, the

528
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: Houston Texans were oh and three, coming off of a

529
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: bad l to the g men, all right, and everybody said,

530
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: what in the wide world's going on here Deshaun Watson?

531
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: What happened to him? Everybody thought he was going to

532
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: be the comeback player of the year. All they've done

533
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: is rattle off five wins in a row. They're finally

534
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: found a way to protect him in the pocket. The

535
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, both these tackles were given up. They gave

536
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: up more pressures through the first five weeks than any

537
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: other tackle combination in the league. He's found a way

538
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: to get the ball to that guy, d Hopkins. But

539
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, he's ball and he's taking care of the football.

540
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we know we can run the football well

541
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: and I'll get outside the pocket. But he's making a

542
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: lot of big time throws inside the pocket. So the

543
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: Houston Texans have done a great job. Looks much more

544
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: comfortable than he did early in the season. That's yeah,

545
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: that's true. Back to back games, they didn't turn over

546
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: the ball. As you said, they're taking care of the ball.

547
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: So it's Texans are off the board, so I can't

548
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: take them. So I am going to take the Pittsburgh Steelers.

549
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: But they're I just all right. So for me, it's

550
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: all about the defense for them, because if we're talking

551
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: about the turnaround for a week one, I know I

552
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: started and I was like, I don't know, whatever, It's fine,

553
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: but they're from the past three weeks. The defense is

554
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: allowing the fewest yards per play, and for me, at

555
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, the defense was what I

556
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: was questioning the most. I love what I've seen from

557
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: stuff onto it, from Cam Hayward, Javon Hargrave. These guys

558
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: are stepping up there flashing, and then you have Bud

559
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: Dupree and t J. Watt doing their thing too. This defense,

560
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: I think they're finally coming around and that would be

561
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: their secondary is stopping big plays from happening. I love

562
00:25:54,119 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: this defense right now, right if I jump in, I'll

563
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: jump in. I'm gonna jump in and say, Houston, I'm

564
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 1: taking the same thing suns Sean took. And I mean,

565
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at what they did last year, how they

566
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: started out this year. Obviously, last year the Shan Watson

567
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: was hurt. This year they get them back. They think

568
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna get that MVP caliber type of season. He

569
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: starts out rough, he's getting hit a lot. Now he's

570
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: you know about I know that defense, and that defense

571
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: was a defense that I thought going into the year

572
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: would compete with Jacksonville as Hey, we're the best defense

573
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: and you know in the NFL. And J J J J.

574
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: Watt is coming back. He's getting sacks, clown, he's getting

575
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: sacks affecting change. Matthew back there. I love him. I mean,

576
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: I think that team's poised to, you know, to keep

577
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: keep getting better and make a running the players falling

578
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: out Whinny Mercier's coming back, and let's not forget about

579
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: huntingbacker coming offensive line issues and some issues. What is

580
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: what's talking about? That's the bolt. Okay, it's not great.

581
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: It's better than my fish shield for the Kansas City Chiefs.

582
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: That but the Chargers now now look most improved, most

583
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: improved from this point of last season to now because

584
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: they closed the season last year playing really good football.

585
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: So I'm getting off on a technicality here because they

586
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: did finish strong last year. But I just you know,

587
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: and the stats really don't blow you away when you

588
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, but it's just the way that

589
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: they're playing in the conference they're playing with and how

590
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: well Philip Rivers is playing, has got three interceptions on

591
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: the year to seventeen touchdowns. Possible MVP conversation if he

592
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: can somehow get going in the second half, maybe Patrick

593
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: Mahomes slows down a little bit. I just I like

594
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: this team right now. I love what Anthony Lynn has

595
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: done since he's been there. Maybe we haven't talked enough

596
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: about the offensive job or assume the job that he

597
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: has done as a head coach. I like the Chargers too.

598
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. They need to get some wins and

599
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: no home field advantage. No teams were the winning record, okay,

600
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: and the two good teams that they played they lost.

601
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: So I'm with it. They're they're much improved, but they've

602
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: beaten up on some bad teams. And they don't have

603
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, by the way, if they can get him back,

604
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: sudden that back in a couple of weeks. Okay, last

605
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: topic here, which AFC team is in danger of failing?

606
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: So failing I guess missing the player and we don't

607
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: quite know. We talked about this. Make it do whatever

608
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: you want with it. We can say the Denver Broncos

609
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: because um to me right now, Vance Joseph remains on

610
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: the hot seat. I don't know how fair it is

611
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: because he hasn't had himself a quarterback since he's been there,

612
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: So I just brought him in. What do you mean,

613
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: who brought who in? Oh? John Elway brought guys in.

614
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: So you can have that conversation all you want, but

615
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: you just wonder at this point, if they don't pick

616
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: it up here and if they're kind of middling or whatever,

617
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: this team is going to have to make a decision

618
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: here at the head coaching position. So I just I

619
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: can't believe these I mean I can't believe their defense

620
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: has given up the rushing yards that they've given Well,

621
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: they're aging. You know. The problem is you have to

622
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: backfill these guys as they start to get older, with

623
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: some of the guys, and they have not done that

624
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: in Denver. Yeah, yeah, I know three guys on the roster. True,

625
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: they got to do that. Okay, who do you have son?

626
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Jags. People call them different things. Jaguars.

627
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: I call them right now a hot mess. And when

628
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: you look at this team, their identity last year was

629
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: run the football, be physical, upfront, office, and defensively get

630
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: after people. I mean, I don't think they have a

631
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: hundred yard rusher yet this season, and I know Leonard

632
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: Fournett has been her TGL has been banged up. I mean,

633
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: it was so bad. They signed Jamal Charles and they

634
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: traded for Carlos Hide, but they've lost their identity defensively,

635
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: so I think unless they get this thing fixed, you know,

636
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: they've got some time right now to find out what's

637
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: going on. They've still got some some really good pass

638
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: rushers up front, obviously, and some great defenders in the

639
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: back end too, but they're just not playing well and

640
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: they're a hot mess off the fielding they've only been

641
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: overshocking knowing that his Doug Moron TC at the helm

642
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: and to have all that chaos going on. In eight games,

643
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: they've only been over one hundred as a team four

644
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: times and one thirty seven, one twenty six the other

645
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: games one four, one oh one. So it felt like

646
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: they've been really rushing it. The way you're talking about

647
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: we saw last year. From now it's school midterm grades. Okay,

648
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: here we go, danger of failing the Bengals because at

649
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, I said that the Bengals

650
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 1: were going to make it past the first round of

651
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That was Bible prediction. And now what I

652
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,479
Speaker 1: saw from them on Sunday, that defense they gave up

653
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: five hundred and seventy six yards to the Bucks. Right now,

654
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: they are on pace to be worse than the twenty

655
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: twelve Saints. Oh we're that's saying a lot right there.

656
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: So injuries are a part of it, but of course

657
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: miscommunications are as well. There's a lot that they really

658
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: need to pull together there, and if they don't, then yes,

659
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: they're in danger of failing. Okay, s Angelo Ki and

660
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: then just erasing it. What's happening over here? A going with? Yeah,

661
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean I'm going with a grade. I'm going with

662
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: the straight constant. It is the Oakland Raiders. It's one

663
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: thing we know. We weren't even giving grade here, I know,

664
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: but I gave him a straight s because I had

665
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: about three teams, but you as took all of my

666
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: teams and so I had to keep you racing it first.

667
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Actually you can still see some of them. What is

668
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders? Man? The Raiders are just not showing me

669
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: a commitment to to trying to win the games, man, Yeah,

670
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: trying to win games as and as a guy who

671
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: was in that Raider locker room for eight games, I

672
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: know it's win now, baby, and they aren't doing that.

673
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: And I don't see where they go from here because

674
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: I think Derek Carr they might try to get him

675
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: out of there at some point, or he might try

676
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: to get out of there. I don't he want yeah,

677
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: but I wasn't always him. I don't know if him

678
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: and John are are as as as tight as people

679
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: think they are. What's crazy. I'm sure none of us

680
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: took those pass field classes in college. Oh yeah, But

681
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: when you're a first year head coach that's based on

682
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: what this is, it's past failed. You're like, it's not

683
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: about the grades exactly. Let's just try to get better.

684
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: I love how you named like all the Raiders slogans there.

685
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: But he almost did commitment to Vegas. Baby, we're gonna

686
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: do the NFC here, and first up, which team deserves

687
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: an A in the NFC? All right? Let me think

688
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: about this. Really a difficult one. Know, it's not like

689
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: there's one. Let me before you say you, let me

690
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: say my one. The Los Angeles Rams and I we

691
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about quick we talked a little

692
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: bit about this yesterday. I broke my white board again.

693
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: Talked a little bit about this yesterday. You know, all

694
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: those mixed person That was the only question was how

695
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: are all these mixed person that he's going to mesh there?

696
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: Because it's one thing to just bring in talent, but

697
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: you've got to have the chemistry right. And credit Sean

698
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: McVay for being the guy that's keeping it all. Uh

699
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: check Wade Phillips coach Joe Berry is over there on

700
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: that defense. Aubrey pleasant to dB coach he coached us

701
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: in DC, and so I told him, like, man, you

702
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: got a cast of characters in that room, and if

703
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: anybody can handle those guys, it was But you know,

704
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: just hold up your boards. We all are for the

705
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: sake of obviously haven't lost. They're clearly the teacher's pet.

706
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah they got okay, Yeah, yeah, you're Sally Row. They

707
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: know every answer, okay, okay. They ask questions when like

708
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: the class is over, and then everybody has to stay on.

709
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: We got to get out of here. You're the teacher.

710
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm I had more, you will have plenty to day

711
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: On the next three questions, I'm sure don't worry which

712
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: NFC team is most improved? Improved? That's easy for me.

713
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: Did I have Oh? Okay, can you tell me who? Oh?

714
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: I got it? Never mind you're saying that's easy, who

715
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: is it? Because I had two and I'm just gonna

716
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: give my team one, just the biggest. I'm not even

717
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: going oh yeah, split the split the white board with

718
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: with with with the Bears, even though the Bears are

719
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: playing really good. I'm going with the red Skins, man,

720
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: because I was a part of that bad team last

721
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: year and to see what they're doing now I'm in

722
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: the shop makes me wish I had played one more season. Hey,

723
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: they're really good. It is over for me. I'm done, Teller.

724
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Bama boys. They are so good. It's

725
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: that that defense really and they got a Temple A

726
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: Temple Gannitus. Who wow, Temple to lay lights out too. Man.

727
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm co signing with you here. I'm going with the

728
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: Washington as well. Their last three games. When you look

729
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: at the wins, they've had one turnover and their average

730
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: almost one hundred and fifty yards rushing games. So on offense,

731
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: they're taking care of the football. They're pounding the rock.

732
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: Um I think obviously Adrian Peterson found the found on

733
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: youth down there, and I think they're given them the rock,

734
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: which is great. But you mentioned the defense. Let's take

735
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: a look at their defense. Of what they've done, all

736
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: right the last three weeks. Christian McCaffrey twenty yards rushing,

737
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: is Zekiel Elliott thirty three yards rushing, Sequon Barkley thirty

738
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: eight yards rushing. So this Washington defense, listen, I mean,

739
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: it's it's our nation's capital, all right. We spend how

740
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: much money a year on our defense as a defense department.

741
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: There inst money in our in our defense. They are

742
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: who are mic rob just walked in here. I don't

743
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: know what the heck happened there? Okay, hey yeah, okay.

744
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: I am taking most improved team the Seahawks. The Seahawks

745
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: right now. Look at this. Oh, they're four and one

746
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: five games. The only loss in there was a two

747
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: point loss to the Rams, And in these wins right now,

748
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: they're outscoring opponents ninety nine to forty seven. Russell Wilson

749
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 1: has a pocket. Finally, the offensive line has been such

750
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: a weakness. Now he doesn't have to throw as much either,

751
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: because that offensive line can also run block. They're running

752
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: the ball well. Chris Carson and Mike Davis, they're doing

753
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: their thing. You have Doug Baldwin back, that makes a

754
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: huge different. Tyler Lockett he's having a career year. And

755
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 1: David Ward seventh rounder or David Moore seventh rounder, he's

756
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: been balling as well. So this team recently, they just

757
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: started turning things around after I think a lot of

758
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: people wrote them off. Yeah, they were almost going to

759
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: get labeled bad test takers. Oh yeah, almost. Hey my

760
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: son's really smart, he just not good at exams. He's

761
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: not good at test. This the talk about the Seahawks,

762
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: Demid was demise was greatly exaggerated. That's the way that

763
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: you want to rebuild or reload, or whatever you want

764
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: to call it. Because it is a transition year for them.

765
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: They're still competing. I'm going with the Bears. I liked

766
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: what they did coming. I talked a lot about the

767
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: additions that they made coming into the year. Look, they're

768
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: top ten in points, four their top ten and yards

769
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: for their top ten in points against their top ten

770
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: in yards giving up. Here's what I loved. I love

771
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: this stet. This is the success the formula for success

772
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: still in this league. Nine sixty three yards rushing five

773
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two yards rushing aloud. That will win

774
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: you football games in this league, Sean O'Hara, I like

775
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 1: giving him a sea for Chicogo or a B for Bears.

776
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: If we were giving them a brace I'm giving I'm

777
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: giving them an A for the final topic here, which

778
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: NFC team is in danger of failing? They got to

779
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: lock it up here in the second half of thing.

780
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: Let me think of out of the thank you tell

781
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: the prompter? I forget what I okay, who's going first?

782
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: You go first? All right? I didn't really know what

783
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: this question meant, so I earlier I took the buck,

784
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos grades, I said Bucks. I'm holding Bucks, Okay,

785
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: there in my ear talking um the the voices to me,

786
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: my voices. I got a couple. To me. It meant

787
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: who what team could potentially be failing toward rebuilding or

788
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: making a coaching change, I said Broncos earlier. I'm looking

789
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: at Bucks right now. A tough spot for Dirt Cutter.

790
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: We talked yesterday about how it wasn't going to be

791
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: a good look either way if he's stuck with Jamis

792
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Winston or if he went back to Ryan Fitzpatrick, whom

793
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: that locker room would have loved to have had continued

794
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: as the quarterback even when Jamis Winston came back. So

795
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm seeing this team right now probably playing out the string.

796
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: They also need to make a decision whether Jamis Winston's

797
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: even going to see the field the rest of the year,

798
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: because now you're treading into r G three Washington territory

799
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: where we don't want him to get hurt and have

800
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: that big injury guarantee trigger for next year. Okay, like it,

801
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, thank you. I mean they're they're dropping the pencil,

802
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: they're dropping the eracer a lot, a lot of fumbling

803
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: and a lot of turnovers. Like this is not gonna

804
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: be a very popular pick. They're possible champs, and I

805
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: know Alex, our producer, is gonna hate me for this.

806
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't know. I have concerned that could

807
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 1: be the season. It couldn't, It could have, it could

808
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: Here's whatever. The Eagles are a good football team, but

809
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson just went down with a big injury. They

810
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: came out of London with the victory, but they might

811
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: have lost the war there and when you look at

812
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson maybe missing the next couple of weeks with

813
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: the MCL Jason Peter has been banged up. Here is

814
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: why I'm saying they could be found. Look who they're

815
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: playing the second half of the scene. Look at their

816
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: next eight games. The Dallas Cowboys twice without Lane Johnson.

817
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: Here de Marcus Lawrence. He had fifteen sacks last year.

818
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: I think he's got seven this year already. They got

819
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: to go to the New Orleans played the Saints with

820
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan Marcus Davenport. You just said he's the most

821
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: approved player. Uh. They've got to play the Redskins, who

822
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: we just talked about their defense. They've got to play

823
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: the Rams, Yeah, right in La Aaron Donald he's leaving

824
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: the NFL and SAX right now. They got to play

825
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans Jadavian Clowney j R. Yeah. They've got

826
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: an unbelievably tough schedule and I don't know if they're

827
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be tough. You know, I think these

828
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: teams are in shape. I know. I say teams because

829
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: I got Atlanta, Green Bay, and the Cowboys, because all

830
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: of those teams are on the verge of not making

831
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and these were teams who had high expectations

832
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: going into the season. Dallas went all in trying to

833
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: get a mark where they got to Mark Cooper, Let's

834
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: see what he pans out to be green Bay. You know,

835
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: they kind of they played good one week that they're

836
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: in that and in the division that you know, Chicago

837
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: is playing great, Minnesota is playing good with Kirk Cousins,

838
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: Detroit is playing good. Um in Atlanta, I think I

839
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: think Atlanta will turn it around, but I think they're

840
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: just so far behind injuries in New Orleans and uh Atlanta,

841
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: Uh guys and Carol, Yeah, I just don't see where

842
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: I live in the whole crew. Okay, I just going

843
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: with the Lions right now. Now. I know they are

844
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: they are playing better right now, but they couldn't run

845
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: the ball. They couldn't stop the run. You look at

846
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: their division right now, the Bears were the only team

847
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: that want It's still last week. It's still a really

848
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: close division. But they gotta turn things around. And then

849
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: you look at exactly the next month for them is

850
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: going to be key because they have divisional road games

851
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: against the Vikings, they have a game against the Bears,

852
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: there and then at home they have bears rams like

853
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: this is this is tough for them, the packers. I

854
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: think this next month though, is going to be key

855
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: for them, and if they can they could make some

856
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: noise still, but failing for them. I don't know how

857
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: many people had super high expectations. Yeah, you had a

858
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: new coach, you have a lot of different parts coming

859
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: in their new parts. But still they need some extra

860
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: credit and you're in Do remember a couple unch of

861
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: book reports and Minnesota, so I didn't have much. I

862
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: didn't have high hopes for Detroit anyway, but you know

863
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: they are right on that they can go can go down.

864
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 1: It's time to give out some progress reports for rookie

865
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: players and coaches using our white boards. It's usually whiteboard

866
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday Tuesday. On Tuesday, we're we're just we're gonna so

867
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna write down the answers here of these four questions.

868
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: And here we go, starting with at this point of

869
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: the season, who's the most underrated rookie? Who goes first? DeAngelo,

870
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: you are up first? We make can we make quarterback rule?

871
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: Can we non quarterback? What does that mean? Like it

872
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: can't be a quarterback? Well, yeah. But if a quarterback

873
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: is good, he's not going to be underrated anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

874
00:41:52,719 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: boohoo very An. He's bawling, man. Detroit has not had

875
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: a ring game in a long time, and so to

876
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: get this guy in there. He's energetic, he's fast, he's

877
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle. He's what they were trying to

878
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: do several years ago. And I mean it just works, man,

879
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: I kind of I love Darius guys in Washington, but

880
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: he's hurt this year. And I've always liked carry on Johnson,

881
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: even at Auburn. So and I'm glad that the Lions

882
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: like him now because they weren't giving him carries now

883
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: they are. Okay, Colleen just likes the carry on, carry

884
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: on little plays. All Right, here we go. I'm gonna

885
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: go now because I'm just gonna here we go. I'm

886
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 1: putting myself out there, all right. My most underrated rookie

887
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: is let's see it, jaire Alexander. He was coming off

888
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: injury and he bawled in that game. Now they lost,

889
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: but that's okay because the way that that defense played

890
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: and the way that he played, I couldn't believe the

891
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: way that he was able to keep up with Brandon Cooks.

892
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: He has the speed, he has the ball awareness, he's

893
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: so good. He broke up five passes in that game

894
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 1: and he was just able to seven tackles. I just

895
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: love the way that he played. So that is my

896
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: guy for a most underrated rookie. Know his name, He's

897
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: a beast. Yeah right, he was coming out co signe.

898
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: I like it, I'm co signed. I was the only dude,

899
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: I said in the in the Redskins draft room and

900
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: they didn't have him rated very high. And I'm like,

901
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: are you telling you you were in the draft room. Yeah,

902
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: because I didn't know if I wanted to do TV

903
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: or front office stuff. You go back to the draft room.

904
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: Will you be a source for me? You can TV? No? No,

905
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: But you told the Redskins that he needed to be higher? Well, yes,

906
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: I had him rated three behind um Mike Hughes. I

907
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: needed to see Mike Hughes run, which Mike didn't run

908
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: as fast as I thought. And Denzel Award was one

909
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: for Yeah, and so you here because he ran fast.

910
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: I was like, look and his college coordinator, it was

911
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: my dB coach in college, so I called him. Got

912
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: the scoop on him and I found out, Okay, you're up. Yeah,

913
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: how about this guy? Forgive my drawing time. This is uh,

914
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: this is a horseshoe of this side right here, This

915
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: is a horse shoe here, Darius Leonard. He's a rookie linebacker.

916
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: If you don't know who he is, you're not paying

917
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: attention on defense. He's leading the league right now in tackles,

918
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: eighty eight tackles. He's got four sacks. The Colts have

919
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: found a little bit of a resurgence. I wanted to

920
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: go big Quenton Nelson here, but you know, he's an

921
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. We don't really have stats, so it's not

922
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: a sexy but they've got two rookies that are bawling out. Okay,

923
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: I can't draw a Florida Lee while I write Yeah,

924
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: while I write this, my wife says, you look wonderful

925
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: and he wants that blazer hys. Good morning, Happy birthday, Carmen,

926
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: my dad's birthday to day. Uh mark one year old.

927
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: Marcus Davenport for the Saints. Underrated because he's frankly been

928
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: playing a limited role. He hasn't been a starter. Right

929
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: now about two sacks. Almost had a strip sack that

930
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 1: Nick was down starting to emerge. He's a fantastic physical spec.

931
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna be great. Player's underrated. We gotta go to

932
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: break The trade deadline came and went to employ was

933
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: there a lot of action? So what did the Breakfast

934
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: Table think of it all? Let's find out the undefeated

935
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: team right now, the Rams. They are already so good

936
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: and now they fill one of their biggest needs too.

937
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: They needed a pass rusher. Now they get Dante Fowler

938
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: and they have I think like seven former number one overall,

939
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: our number first round draft picks on that defense, which

940
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: is just amazing. So when you look at the trades

941
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: for Dante Fowler, you look at Time Montgomery, and you

942
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: look at Haha Clinton Dicks, which of these stood out

943
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: to you the most? I'll jump on because I want

944
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: to stay on Fowler. In the Bams, what I find

945
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: interesting of what they've done. They've made some deals the

946
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and they've done it without doing

947
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: a contract extension. They get they get Sammy Watkins over

948
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: last year and then they lose Watkins to free agency.

949
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: They brought Marcus Peters over, He's actually got one year

950
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: after this, didn't do an extension for him just yet,

951
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: so they might wind up letting him walk. Dante Fowler

952
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: coming in, he's up at the end of the year

953
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars didn't give him his fifth year option.

954
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: They said they wanted to try to continue to work

955
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: on a deal. Obviously didn't feel good about that one,

956
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: so they moved on from him. It's it's it's two

957
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: things we talked about. The compic formula. You can potentially

958
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: get something back in the future, so maybe you're just

959
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: putting the draft pick out now to get something back

960
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: in return. But also it tells me that they're saying,

961
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: this is our window right now. We've got Jared Goff.

962
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: Like bart said earlier, you've got a rookie quarterback. I'm sorry,

963
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback on a rookie deal. This is your chance

964
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: to spend some stuff everywhere else and and go all

965
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: in right here. So that's that's part of it right now.

966
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: That's wheeling and dealing. I love it. What do you think,

967
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: bart Well, for me, it's time Montgomery, you know, because

968
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: he'll first of all, he got discount double check right

969
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 1: out of town. Yeah. They always say that one game,

970
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: one play doesn't lose a game. Well, it's apparent at

971
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: everybody's pointing at time, my gooverner. He gets a change

972
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: of scenery and also he goes to a great situation.

973
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: He goes to a playoff contender of solid organization with

974
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl MVP quarterback. But also he can be

975
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: that extra guy, right, he can be that explosive guy.

976
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: He can be that Tyreek Hill. He's a guy that

977
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: can get massed up. When you think about the skill

978
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: position players that they have with cat Craft Tree, you

979
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: know Brown, is he a running back? Is he a receiver?

980
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: He can be a little bit of both. Because we

981
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: think about Buck Allen and and Collins. I'm sorry, you know,

982
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: they don't have that home run speed. They can give

983
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: you good you know, averages as far as yardage. But

984
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: he can be a weapon. He's going to be weaponized

985
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: inside of Baltimore. And can you imagine Hill with Lamar

986
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: Jackson an RPO type of situation, the type of team

987
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: speed that you can put up the field at one time.

988
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: Seven round drafting, they pretty much gave him away. That's

989
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: but that's the thing. They were in on other running

990
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: backs from what I was told, and the price was

991
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: so highly. Sean McCoy was one of them and the

992
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: price was so high for him that to give away

993
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: in seventh round pick. And I still don't know why

994
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: he felt so out of favoring Jeames. I was just

995
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: curious because I was on my phone. How is Wade

996
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 1: Phillips not tweeted since Land Fowler? I'm like somebody chev,

997
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's Wade, alright, Like if I'm Wade, I'm

998
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: thinking of going back to Super Bowl fifty when they

999
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: had a dominant inside presence with Derek Wolfe and Malik Jackson.

1000
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: Then you have edge rushers like Von Miller and DeMarcus

1001
00:47:58,360 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: Ware and you saw what he can do by make

1002
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: things interior, pass rush outside. And he's got to be

1003
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: I hope he's all right. Sure, I'm sure he is.

1004
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: I might have to send him a DM. But and then, ha,

1005
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 1: I think to me is the one thing that also

1006
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: stands out because this guy talked about he didn't think

1007
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: he was going back to Green Bay, and then he

1008
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: thought this year was going to be a massive what

1009
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: job audition for him? And now he's auditioning with a

1010
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 1: great defense around him that should make him look even better.

1011
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: With a ton of Alabama guys, I think they got

1012
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: five now there, so he's gonna feel right at home.

1013
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: So I mean, if he wants to audition for the

1014
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: rest of the league, this might be a really great

1015
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: set up in spot for him, because what makes you

1016
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: look better than when you were playing with another group

1017
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: of great guys. Aaron Rodgers can't be happy that he's

1018
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: losing another veteran player though on this team, a guy

1019
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: that played every single defensive snap so far this season too,

1020
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: as I'm missed a game. But you got Yourmon Williams

1021
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys there that can feel that

1022
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: super young secondary. So it's good for my paper. We

1023
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: were talking about Haha being a leader for them two

1024
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: years ago. They really thought he was going to come

1025
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: in and be a stalwart in that secondary and that

1026
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: locker room as well. Maybe Washington's where he winds up being.

1027
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he's more comfortable around the Alabama guys. We saw

1028
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: the Saints make the move for Eli Apples last week

1029
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: because there's so many Ohio State guys. Sometimes that can

1030
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: make a guy games went to, I'm hoping the Ohio

1031
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 1: State you're a better player indoors the deadline pass, Sorry

1032
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: about you. That's it. If we're talking about the team

1033
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: that won Super Bowl fifty two. We're just talking about

1034
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: it on the couch. It's Nick Foles or Carson Wentz.

1035
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: I think right? I mean, am I am I missing

1036
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: something here? Mike, Yes, you are? I am? What does

1037
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: he missing? I mean? Nick? Nick Foles is on fire?

1038
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: He was. I'm gonna say, but I mean, they was

1039
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: a better player. It was a better football player. They

1040
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: were grooving, they were really there. But you're right, they

1041
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: were right. I mean, I mean, so you would think

1042
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: one of the most important you want, you want to

1043
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: think the most important position in sports, is better, So

1044
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: you would think that you'd be better. But we talked

1045
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: about earlier the other issues they have it make that point. Yeah,

1046
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: but but but but the guy who replaced him won

1047
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 1: the MVP. So it's not like he was just holding

1048
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: on to the stair. Will you know he wasn't Trent

1049
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: Dilford just trying not to lose it. He went out

1050
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: there and he made play really special. He went out

1051
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: and called it. You think about you know what this

1052
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: team is missing us missing the Jay Train. The Jay

1053
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: train was a guy who would averaging over five yards

1054
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: per carry, a guy ups that physical presence they needed

1055
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: to saw the game and way remember how they got

1056
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: there through the playoffs. I think that you know, last year,

1057
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, they had a better team and they were grooving. Well.

1058
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: They had the third ranked rushing offense last year. Now

1059
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: they have the twentieth. And then you see what they

1060
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: did in the game against the Panthers when they were

1061
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: up by seventeen nothing in the fourth quarter, they didn't

1062
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: even run the ball. It wasn't until the Panthers had

1063
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: already taken the lead that they finally had a rushing attempt.

1064
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that run game really really kind of weighs

1065
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: them down compared to the team. We haven't mentioned two

1066
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: right now, we haven't mentioned Golden Tape. But I also

1067
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 1: think that it's really it's it's tougher than you think.

1068
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you sit there and you say, okay, Carson

1069
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: Wentz or Nick Foles ay, they were grooving, yes, be

1070
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: that offensive coaching staff was unbelievable. They were on fire

1071
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: last year. Last year at all. I probably gonna be

1072
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: the MVP. He I mean before he gets hurt. But

1073
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, everything was grooving last year against

1074
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: He's we need we need the parameters of are we

1075
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: talking the moment they won the Super Bowl. Or are

1076
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: we talking the offense as a whole. We're taking the

1077
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 1: best parts and putting it all together. I mean, those

1078
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: are those are two completely different things. I do think

1079
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: that this staff is getting better, uh and getting their

1080
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: chemistry better with mic Row as the offensive coordinator and

1081
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: Press Taylor as the quarterbacks coach. So now you add

1082
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: all that, if they can get back into that rhythm

1083
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: from a game planning and play calling standpoint, and you

1084
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: add Carson Wentz to the mix, then yes, I think

1085
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: I'd say the only difference that I would give the

1086
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: edge the last year's team would be the running back situation.

1087
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: Right now, they don't have that grinder. I don't even

1088
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: think Philly makes the playoffs? Wow? What huh? What? Really? Okay?

1089
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: We believe in the Washington Redskins, and you look at

1090
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: you know what is going to take to get that,

1091
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, the wild cards? You know, I think the

1092
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: wild cards wanted to come from the Panthers. You know,

1093
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe they get you know, you know the Panthers in

1094
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: and the other maybe come from NFC North. Yeah, NFC North, Okay, yeah,

1095
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: I could. I mean that's you look at their the

1096
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: problems that this Eagles team has the secondary it's all right,

1097
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be okay, But yeah, the secondary is a

1098
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: lot different than last year. But there are a lot

1099
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: of players that were hurt last year during that Super

1100
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: Bowl run that are healthy and are back now. But

1101
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: I think the addition of that really does Yeh, Darren's

1102
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: Roles and Eric Barry are in a race to see

1103
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: who which day to day player can come back first.

1104
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: Art is doubtful every Sunday and still day is unbelievable. Yeah,

1105
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: that's true. So we also have the addition of Damarius Thomas,

1106
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: two of the Texans. So after after looking at how

1107
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: this this addition sort of affects the offense, what what

1108
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: do you guys think and how do you think that? Look,

1109
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: they're one of the best offenses I think right now

1110
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: the Texans in terms of improving over the last few weeks.

1111
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: And we've seen Deshaun Watson what he was able to

1112
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: do in that game five touchdowns against the Dolphins. Where

1113
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: do you rank the Texans offense right now after seeing

1114
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: them through eight weeks. Well, I'm just concerned with Deshaun

1115
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: Watkins saying that he was built for this, you know,

1116
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: taking on guys with the number fifty four, you know,

1117
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: ninety nine. You see those numbers, you slide and he's

1118
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,399
Speaker 1: a little bit too brave for itself. You know. He's

1119
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: a guy that's, you know, thinly built, and I just

1120
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: don't know if he can stay comforty, you know, if

1121
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: he can stay healthy with this offensive line. You know.

1122
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 1: With that being said, they added de Marris Thomas. He's

1123
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: a guy with a tremendous catch radius. He's a guy

1124
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't have to be open to be open, you know.

1125
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: But he's not a guy that can blow the top

1126
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: off the defense. And that concerns me because I think

1127
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: that offense is more effective where Deshaun Watson can buy

1128
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: some time with his legs and throw the ball deep

1129
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: and allow Hopkins to occupy that real estate underneath and

1130
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: between the hashes. I find last week. I wish this

1131
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: was trick or treat because I found I found last

1132
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: week to be an outlier to weigh everything. I mean,

1133
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson not sacked. He's sacked when their quarterback and

1134
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: football he's hitting more than any other quarterback in football,

1135
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: buy a long shot. It was the first game the

1136
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: Texans having given up a sack since like two thou

1137
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: and sixteen, he throws more touchdowns and incompletions in that game.

1138
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: I think the other games is more of a direct

1139
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: what's going to happen this year? And the offensive line

1140
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: scares me because, like bart said, you can't keep getting

1141
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: hit the way he's been hit. And I was told

1142
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: in the offseason the idea was, you know, obviously they

1143
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: don't want to take his legs away from him. They

1144
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: want to continue to extend plays. But let's make sure

1145
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: we know and this was the phrase used down there,

1146
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: we know when the journey is over. Make sure we

1147
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: know when the play is done and we can get

1148
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: out of bounds and we can slide and we can

1149
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: do He's getting hit a ton, even though the games

1150
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: exactly so I look at last week is not, you know,

1151
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: not part of what we're gonna see. I don't see

1152
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 1: this offensive line helping him get down the field more.

1153
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: And you're losing Will Fuller and gaining DeAndre Hopkins. It's

1154
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: more of a loss than a gain in a sense.

1155
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know if this is still one of

1156
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: if it's one of the best offense. Well, sometimes you

1157
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: look at this and we talked a little bit about

1158
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: this with the Eagles, he said, Okay, they needed the

1159
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 1: running back. The price and the running backs was too high.

1160
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it didn't like your options out there. So you

1161
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: get a wide receiver that can sort of fill as

1162
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: the short passing game, which can sometimes be service you're

1163
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: running game. Okay, Well, the Texans in this situation, maybe

1164
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: there weren't that many offen I didn't hear that many

1165
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: offensive linemen that were legitimately available for a reasonable price. Tag. Well,

1166
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: this time last year they traded away Dwayne Brown. They

1167
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: did that was that was a standoff that there was

1168
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: another We're going to be a resolved. So so now

1169
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: you look at it, say, okay, instead of maybe trading

1170
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman and paying too much, we like

1171
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: the price on Thomas. Let's get him another guy that

1172
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: can get open and get open quickly. Maybe that'll help

1173
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: with the protection a little bit. Sometimes these things are complimentary.

1174
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: You've got to look at them more than just okay,

1175
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: well wait a minute, they needed help here. Why did

1176
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: they go for the help here? I think that makes

1177
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: sense for the Texans to try that at this point.

1178
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: I may look. You look at the Marris Thomas numbers.

1179
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: He's in a league company. But is he the same player.

1180
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: I think he's all those players will not paid Manning

1181
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 1: was his quarterback. He's on the back go right now exactly.

1182
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: But they do like their young tight end quite a bit.

1183
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: A couple of guys down there have told me that

1184
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: this guy has a chance, has a chance to be

1185
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: a pro bowler at some point down the road. And

1186
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: so maybe there's some emergence somewhere else. They like Kiki

1187
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,760
Speaker 1: as well too, so maybe you're gonna see some production

1188
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: coming somewhere else that can maybe help you. You would

1189
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: think Lamar Miller, with his elite speed isolating against the linebackers,

1190
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 1: will be able to stress to fill a little bit

1191
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: more for him being able to have those option routes

1192
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: on linebackers coming through the middle of the line of scrimins.

1193
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: So maybe they incorporate him a little bit into the

1194
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: passing game. Yeah, I mean he has been great in

1195
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: the running game back to back weeks over one hundred

1196
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: yards rushing. They have that great defense, so they have

1197
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the pieces right there in place already,

1198
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: and now a new piece and a new face on

1199
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: that offense. Who surprised you guys most at the trade deadline.

1200
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Jets they didn't do anything right.

1201
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: They were in that they were in on Dante Fowler.

1202
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: They've actually checked on Fowler before. I gather that they've

1203
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: also checked on some other pass rushers who were not available.

1204
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: Because how long has it and the Jets have had

1205
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: a dress John Abrahams John Abraham, I thought maybe they

1206
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 1: would have kicked the tires or maybe Shane Ray, who

1207
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: we know as about I believe they did. I believe

1208
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: they again on a number of guys. Um. I don't

1209
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: believe that their offer for Fowler was well, I know

1210
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't as stronger than the Rams, but I don't

1211
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: know there was in the same ballpark to be But

1212
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: well it shouldn't because you have to understand what the

1213
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: Jets are thinking. They're thinking that why would I give up,

1214
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, draft picks when I could sign these guys,

1215
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, after the season. So they have opportunity to

1216
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: sign these guys after the season to have tremendous cap space.

1217
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: They understand that they're going to use that draft equity

1218
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: to move up because they need to lift hap. But

1219
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: the one that stung, I'm sure for people inside that

1220
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: building was Tie Montgomery. I'm in the side brows, you know,

1221
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: I are. They have they need running McGuire's coming back,

1222
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: you know in a couple of weeks. They need a

1223
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: running back, They need a receiver, Ty Montgomery. Last time

1224
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: I checked this a little bit of both there, and

1225
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: I just I can't believe that they wouldn't have given

1226
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: up something there to get him and add him to

1227
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: the mix right away and potentially have him be someone

1228
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: for them going forward. Here. I just the Jets got

1229
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Okay, good right, everything's moving in the right

1230
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: direction from that standpoint, But you don't stop there, and

1231
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: you've got to add those complimentary pieces. You're right, it's

1232
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a big offseason for them, But did they

1233
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: miss an opportunity now to start to get into the mix.

1234
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: For me, I was really surprised about the Lions. They're

1235
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: only one game back from the Bears right now in

1236
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: the division. And I understand Golden Tate, he has only

1237
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: a year left on his deal, so that's fine. But

1238
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: this is Matt Stafford's top target. This is a guy

1239
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: that they Matt Stafford goes to him over and over.

1240
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: He leads the team in both catches and yards. Plus

1241
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: they have games coming up at the Bears at the Vikings,

1242
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: so they could have been maybe in first place if

1243
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: they beat both of those teams coming out of this.

1244
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: And now it's gonna be tough without Golden Tate there,

1245
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: So I would be upset, I think, right. But you know, yeah,

1246
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: they made a trade four Damon Harrison and then they

1247
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: traded away Golden Tate. I guess you could say it's

1248
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: kind of a mixed message. But Harrison has has has

1249
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: more in his deal, so he's gonna be in Detroit

1250
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: going for And also they wanted to get Kenny Gallad

1251
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: some opportunities right now he has almost five hundred yards

1252
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: received and give him some more opportunities to have Marvin Jones.

1253
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: So this is a team that's going to be run

1254
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: through Kerry and Johnson. You'll need two receivers on the outside.

1255
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: Golden Tate man up. Yeah. It's also kind of like

1256
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: what you had said though earlier Ge about the Broncos

1257
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: and getting rid of to Marus Thomas and them saying, well,

1258
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: they wanted to give Courtland Sutton a shot. I mean, like,

1259
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: you have good wide receivers, why get rid of them

1260
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: while you're still in the mix for just Courtland Suton,

1261
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: though you gotta remember they're really high on Dashawn Hamilton

1262
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: as well, the kid out of Penn State, and he's

1263
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: the one. He's actually the one that was taking to

1264
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: Marus Thomas's snaps in practice. It wasn't Courtland Sutton him,

1265
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: Cortland Sun's been playing. It's been Dashawn Hamilton who's been

1266
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: taken away to Marus Thomas's snaps at that spot. But

1267
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: if we're we're going to talk the receiver spot, the

1268
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: team that didn't make a move. I thought the Patriot

1269
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: should have made a move at the receiver spot. I

1270
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 1: don't want to be like a negative Nancy over here,

1271
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't make it through the season, Listen,

1272
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: I got one way or another. I mean, I hope

1273
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: he's a trolls and their battles. There's a couple of

1274
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: things that could go wrong here, obviously, and we all

1275
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: are aware of him. So do you go out and

1276
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: they were looking at guys and end up making will

1277
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: that come back and bite them in a sense. And

1278
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: on the other side, the Buck's not making a move

1279
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: and DeShawn Jackson wanting out there. We know it was

1280
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: a lot of Winston somewhat related stuff. But are they

1281
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: being realistic and where they're at when you can trade

1282
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: somebody like DeShawn Jackson, when they have a young receiver

1283
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: that they like a lot, that's that's there as well.

1284
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: So I want you wonder if they're being realistic and

1285
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: you're wondering if the Patriots maybe should have reached and

1286
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: gotten back it up on Josh Gordon because you made

1287
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: a fantastic point, James. Nice job by you, because I

1288
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: said it the other day and people were like, how

1289
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: could you be something I'm not point you made. I

1290
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: made it the other day, James, thanks for watching the show.

1291
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: DeAngelo D'Angelo Hall was here yesterday. He said it after me,

1292
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: and now you said and everybody, I just we're not

1293
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: being mean. We're saying this guy hasn't played complete seasons.

1294
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: He's disappeared for you at the time. And as much

1295
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: as people want to get on I in Rappapore about

1296
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,959
Speaker 1: his report the other day that they did not bench

1297
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon to start the game. He was right about

1298
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: the fact that he was late and they were considering,

1299
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: uh some some kind of discipline for him, including benching him.

1300
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,479
Speaker 1: They must have reversed course at some point. The point

1301
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,439
Speaker 1: is they're already starting to see some of the signs

1302
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 1: of those things that led the Browns to say, you

1303
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: know what, we're done with this guy, and also thank

1304
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: you go And what is our proof that Gronk's gonna

1305
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: get through the season healthy? And I mean, obviously that's

1306
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: a tight it's targets. It's so who you throw the

1307
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: ball to if these things pile up second half of

1308
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: the season with Josh Gordon and Gronkowski somehow winds up

1309
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: on the sideline with any stretch with an injury. Earlier too,

1310
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: I got yeah, I got a minim jumped on the Jets,

1311
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: but I got the Giants. You know, the fire cell

1312
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: wasn't complete without getting rid of g Norris Jenkins. I

1313
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: think they could have got a king's ransom if they

1314
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: sent him to Kansas City. Once Peterson took his name

1315
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: out of the hat. You know, Kansas City understands that

1316
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: they need a cornerback. They had an opportunity to get

1317
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: rid of Norris Jenkins. That team's going nowhere, Dan full rebuild,

1318
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: MO chaos is going on. That locker room is fractured

1319
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: right now. They missed opportunity. I'm surprised that RG three again,

1320
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it that RG three wasn't traded. I

1321
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: don't understand why the Ravens are carrying three three quarterbacks.

1322
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: Though they have Lamar Jackson there, they have Joe Flacco,

1323
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: why do they need RG three there as well? RG

1324
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: three man has improved that he can play football. You

1325
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: know what, I don't know what could you get for.

1326
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make some calls. You're coming back on Saturday.

1327
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: I'll be here on Saturday. Okay, I'll see if I

1328
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: can find something out setting Ridgewater there was already went

1329
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: to this, but no, no, you know your RG three

1330
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: is your thing. Since this RG three is my thing,

1331
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 1: I just want I don't understand, like to say, stand

1332
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: on your square, right. I know that's it. All of

1333
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: the five players on this list who will make the

1334
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: biggest impact for their new team. Bar, I'm gonna start

1335
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: with you. I'm gonna go Tie Montgomery, you know, seven

1336
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: round draft pick. Also, he asked another dimension. You know,

1337
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: they needed some some speed, some long speed at the

1338
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: running back position. You know, Buck Allen and Collins are

1339
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: guys that can move to change, but not the home

1340
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: run hitter. He can be the Ravens version of Treek Hill.

1341
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: You know, you think about maybe putting Lamar Jackson to

1342
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: him in the backfield together, you know, I know they

1343
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: do that. They bring Lamar Jackson and give him some place.

1344
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: How about allowing him to throw the football now and

1345
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: also maybe handing it off on those RPOs. I think

1346
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: he has a different dimension. He also can help them

1347
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: in a return game. I know you don't want to

1348
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: look at the film that got him sent out of

1349
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: town last week with the discount's double check. You know,

1350
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: maybe he can abate orders in Baltimore and help them

1351
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: get to the next levels. Start that one, all right, James,

1352
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: what are you thinking? I'm gonna go with the guy

1353
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: who's going to the undefeated team. I mean, take it

1354
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,439
Speaker 1: much better than undefeated, but you gotta keep winning the games.

1355
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: I guess I'll go with Dante Fowler. And I think

1356
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: the thing that sticks out to me the most is

1357
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: this is a dominant team on the interior. I mean,

1358
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald leading the NFL with ten sacks. I keep

1359
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: to leave. Just the other day on I think it

1360
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: was Total Access said his bold prediction was Aaron Donald

1361
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: twenty two sacks this season double what he had last year,

1362
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: which was eleven. Well, Dante Fowler can help him get

1363
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: to that number. And it's a guy remember the position

1364
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: that he's playing. What Wade Phillips has these guys do

1365
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: He can come in it's aren't making an impact starting Sunday.

1366
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: I mean he can come in right away and get

1367
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: after the quarterbacking. Like I said, as talented as they

1368
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: are in the middle of the field of bringing pressure,

1369
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: things might be easier on him. He makes things easier

1370
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: advice versa. I just think this makes this defense even

1371
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: more talented and more versatile for what Wade Phillips can

1372
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: draw up and what he wants. James point made me

1373
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: think of something. What do you do if you're a

1374
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: pass rusher or you're bringing in a pass rusher and

1375
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: you've got a couple of days to get ready to

1376
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: just point them towards the quarterback and say go get him?

1377
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Or do you try and schep some stuff out well

1378
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: with some of the burbers or every every defensive player

1379
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: understands you games, you know, going up the field, coming

1380
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: off the te stunts. They understand that that's easy to call.

1381
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: You know, that's a communication between the two guys, and

1382
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: you just tell them go go fish hook. Look, you

1383
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: know what happens is when when they're being playing, quarterbacks

1384
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: are able to escape the outside because you can't step

1385
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: up when you have great interior pass rushers. Now when

1386
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: you try and escape, now you have a guy that

1387
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: can fish hook, you can get a lot of those

1388
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: balls out forced fumbles because running backs. You know, quarterbacks

1389
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 1: aren't gonna be able to see him. If they try

1390
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: and put a running back on him, he's gonna beat

1391
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: them like a drum. Fishhook. I love it. What's fishhook?

1392
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: Fish hook? Go real deep, understand that you know, five

1393
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: seven yards deep and just run run around that tackle.

1394
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stop blue rushing. Just make them chase love.

1395
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: That's so in a legal move in professional rusting. Is

1396
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: that right? You're going as Andrea the Giant tonight you

1397
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: should Golden Tate, that's my guy. You know we talked

1398
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: about how they they they've been trying to use Nelson

1399
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Agilar and some of that short stuff. Well, now you

1400
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: can have Golden Tate do that. Led the Lions and

1401
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: targets this year with sixty nine forty four receptions on

1402
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: those targets. Right there. Eagles made a move last year

1403
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: it's a trade deadline by bringing in Jaed Yae. He

1404
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 1: had a huge impact. So I'm gonna trust this Eagles

1405
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: front office here knowing where Golden Tate fits in the

1406
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: scheme and not just making a move because well, we've

1407
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: got a couple of wide receivers who went on injured

1408
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: reserve earlier this year, Mike Wallace and Mac Collins, that

1409
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: we're actually going to make this move because we know

1410
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: the impact he's gonna have. The yac mash. Yeah, that's right.

1411
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm going with the guy that landed in that same division. Haha.

1412
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: Clinton dis going to the Redskins. That front seven, it's

1413
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: already playing lights out. They had to shore up the

1414
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: back end though, and when you see the way that

1415
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: they played in these games. DJ Swearinger has been awesome.

1416
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: So now you have ha Haaklinton Dix with DJ Swearinger.

1417
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: They lead the division, the Redskins do right now. They

1418
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: have the number four defense in the league. But also

1419
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: guys they've kind of been feasting on offenses that have struggled,

1420
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: like the Giants, like the Cowboys, like the Cardinals. So

1421
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: we saw it. We all saw what happened in that

1422
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: game against the Saints on Monday night where Drew Brees

1423
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: just lit them up. So coming up, they have the Falcons,

1424
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 1: the Bucks, who have the number one passing game in

1425
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,479
Speaker 1: the league, and the Texans who now are just hitting

1426
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: their stride. So I think that he could make a

1427
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: huge impact for them, especially considering they are trying to

1428
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: make a run at this division right now. What are

1429
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: you laughing about? Blending him with the back? I know,

1430
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: it's it's great, it's a good day. It's just my

1431
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: head right now. They are that's hey, look at this

1432
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: I dressed as the background for Halloween today. It's a

1433
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: great cost. That is a power it is it's a

1434
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: great color. I love it. Thank you, Thank you. Thanks
