1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: And keeps floats right oprim touchdown Texans. Jordan Thomas pass

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: Anondola double pass receiver is O from that's trait for

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Watson standing back there alone and speaking of alone,

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Arris Hopkins Hopkins touchdown. Oh, the Houston Texans are coming on.

5
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Dan hands is here the Around the NFL podcast right

6
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: in solo here. Uh, gonna throw it to me and

7
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the boys previewing all the Week nine

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: games in just a few minutes. But we're gonna start

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: with Thursday Night Football. A forty two to twenty three

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: win for the Houston Texans, and it could not have

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: been more impressive, especially on the offensive side of the

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: ball for Houston. Deshaun Watson playing one of his best

13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: games as a pro, maybe his best game as a pro. Uh,

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 1: complete sixteen of twenty passes, two thirty nine, five touchdowns, turnovers,

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: a pass rating of one fifty six. He had here's

16
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: a stat here's a good statue, like for your quarterback,

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: had more touchdown passes than in completions. The Dolphins really

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: had no answer for Watson, and that is um my

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: big takeaway from this game is that Watson blew out

20
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: his a c L during a practice on November two

21
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: of last year. So we're coming up on the one

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: year anniversary. Uh, this is the first time where I

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: was watching him play and I thought to myself, Okay,

24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: this is the guy. Uh. His college coach called him

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: that the next MJ or I guess, the first MJ

26
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: in in football. So weird, you know, it's a weird thing. Um,

27
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: And this this Shaun Watson, this version is the guy

28
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: that took the league by storm last year. His ability

29
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: to to keep plays lives with his legs. Uh, he

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of big scrambles in this game. Um,

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: just one big scramble about fourteen yards and it was

32
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: a big conversion. And uh he kept numerous plays alive

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: with his feet, including some of his touchdown passes. Watson

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: played tremendously well in this game, and the Texans left

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: for dead at oh and three. And statistically, in history

36
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: is instructive. Usually it owned three team, it's all over.

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: But here we are five wins in a row. They

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: have control of the a f C South. And I

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: know they've had issues with the Patriots historically, um, especially

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but guess what when you look at

41
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: the a f C playoff picture. I think it's time

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: to take the Texans seriously because I think they are

43
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: not at New England's level, not at Kansas c Citi's level.

44
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: But I think it's they are getting to that point

45
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: where you gotta put him right up there with the Pittsburgh's,

46
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: the Baltimore is. And you could say, yes, well, you know,

47
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: they beat up on the Dolphins at home and the Dolphins.

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Let's be serious about the Dolphins here. Uh they started

49
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: three and oh and they've lost four or five and

50
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: they look like a very mediocre to poor football team.

51
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: So you gotta keep that in perspective. But I just

52
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: think that this is a Texans team that this is

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: when we talked about going into the season, that they

54
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: had a high ceiling and a low floor and and

55
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: and you saw the beginning of the season, you thought

56
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: it was going one way. Now it's going the other

57
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: because if Watson is all the way back, Lamar Miller,

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this Lamar Miller revenge game against

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. I've been championing Lamar Miller for years.

60
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: It didn't really work out for me, but it did

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: on this Thursday, night because he plays his former team

62
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: and goes eighteen for one thirty three in a touch Uh.

63
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is his numbers won't jump out at you

64
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: six Rady two, but he scored two touchdowns. Uh. And

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: the one catch that he didn't get credited with was

66
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: one of the best catches you'll ever see, got wiped

67
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: out by an offensive penalty. But his ability, to his

68
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: ability concentration, balance, speed and power. Uh. I don't think

69
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: there's any other wide receiver in football that's like him.

70
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: He's truly unique. And you can't give a bigger compliment

71
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: than that to tow Nuke. So he I mean, he

72
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. He makes He's got the best hands I

73
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: think since Chris Carter in my opinion. Um, and he

74
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: puts it all together and he is a scary talent.

75
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Him Deshaun Watson. After years of Hopkins dealing with one

76
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: Hammon Egger after another as his quarterback, him and Watson

77
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: as a team going forward is a scary good thought.

78
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Will Fuller, by the way, a drafting a couple of

79
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: years ago, who was supposed to be the guy you

80
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: lined up on the other side that would compliment Hopkins well,

81
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: he looked just like the guy they need him to

82
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: be in this game five for in a touch So

83
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: you can't say enough about how this team looks on offense.

84
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: UM J J. Watt had another sack in this game,

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: very active, especially early. The defense, opportunistic making place. They

86
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: could have been credited with a defensive touchdown at the

87
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: end of the first half it got called back it

88
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: uh and then there they would have been approaching a

89
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: fifty burger. So this was a total effort. And Uh.

90
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: Again the Dolphins they are who we thought they were.

91
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have three and note

92
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: were buying in and the Dolphins are not very good. Uh.

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: And I know brock Oswiler is not a great quarterback,

94
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: but how much better is? How much better is Ryan Townehill?

95
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, you can tell me. I think it

96
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: might not be that big and upgrade. I don't think

97
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: the an f C East has ever been in worse

98
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: shape than it is right now. Outside of the Patriots.

99
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots can win eight games maybe this

100
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: year and win that division, but they'll win thirteen because

101
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: that's what they do. So the Dolphins have fallen back

102
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: to earth. Their best chance here is to hang around

103
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: and maybe be in contention for that sixth wild card spot,

104
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: but I don't see it happening. Um. So a big

105
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: win for the Dolphins and for the Texans. And one

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: last note on this game. Uh, the third quarter was wild.

107
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: I I texted the boys, uh that this game was

108
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: sneaky great because it was you know, a lot of

109
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: back and forth fun on a Thursday night between two teams.

110
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't expect to be enjoying yourself watching the game,

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: and I did quite a bit this game. Greg had

112
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: a great response and and and reply on texts. He said,

113
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the third quarter has been drunk. And it was the

114
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Danny Amadola beautiful pass on a trick played by the Dolphins,

115
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: the new catch that I talked about that got called back,

116
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: one of the great circus catches. You'll see Davante Parker,

117
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: who finally showed up for the Dolphins. Maybe he'll get

118
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: a trade before Tuesday. Uh. He had a crazy catch

119
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: on a deflection. Will Fuller had a long touchdown. And

120
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: then the quarter ends with a just onside kick uh

121
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: from the Dolphins that did not work and was really

122
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: their last gasp. I think Adam Gates saw the writing

123
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: on the wall and knew this team wasn't gonna stop anybody.

124
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: So there you go. That is uh Thursday Night Football

125
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: forty two, twenty three for the Texans who are alive

126
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: and well. Now to the rest of Week eight. The

127
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: preview begins. Now be Around the NFL Podcast, Too Many Sandys.

128
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.

129
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansens, and I am joined in

Speaker 1: a room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and

131
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: Greg roseatal What is up, boys, Hey day, Thursday. We

132
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 1: are here. I don't even have memories of my house

133
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: at this point. During these weeks, we are here so often.

134
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: All I the only thing that I really remember from

135
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: this entire autumn is just sitting here staring at the

136
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: three of you. You sound so excited about. No, it's

137
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: not a bad or a good thing, but it's just

138
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: it is. It feels we are I'm always sitting in this.

139
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: So this is the week eight preview, so we're in.

140
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: We're in it right now. We talked about this last

141
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: week too. We'll talk about it probably next Thursday as well,

142
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: but by Thursday, it's a it's a long week. It

143
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: feels like the end of a journey. Uh And I

144
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: actually was thinking about it. On yesterday's show. I pitched

145
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: the idea of all the GM's getting on a subreddit

146
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: or wes you and I were gonna launch an app,

147
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: maybe charge like I don't know, eight ninety nine a

148
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: month or something. I feel like gms can afford to

149
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: pay more than that. I mean, we are saving them

150
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: from making bad trades and not capitalizing on the you know,

151
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: sort of the values that they have. So I feel

152
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: like we well, we're off. I mean, make the app

153
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: first before we start with, you know, the little good idea.

154
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: I have an even better idea for today's show. We're

155
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to get somebody with like a just you know,

156
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: a modicum of math, since we'll find involved because neither

157
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: of us have man we'll get We'll cut them in

158
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: just a little bit. I have an even better idea today. Okay, um,

159
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: the hi Greg all right, waiting for this idea. The

160
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: Eagles and Jaguars playing in London. That's the first game

161
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about, by the way, Um, well, the

162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: second game you just heard, of course our Dolphins Texans recap.

163
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: That was great, But the first game we're gonna preview

164
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: is Eagles Jags. The call of the game is gonna

165
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: come from NFL network stalwarts such as Rich Eyes and

166
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: Mooch Irvin and Kurt Warner, all in the booth fore

167
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: Man booth. We went to London last year. We're gonna

168
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: go to London next year. God willing, God save the Queen.

169
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: Why don't we call a game the four of us?

170
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: And I'm not even remotely kidding. We call a game

171
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: next year in London during the London Series. I love it.

172
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm fine if no one's even recording it while we

173
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: do it. We just do it the four of us.

174
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: Just it could be a supplemental thing where people can

175
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: choose this feed in game pass or something. Who would

176
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: be the play by play person? I would be terrible

177
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: at that. We would be able to do anything we want.

178
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: This would be like the platform would been like some

179
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: kind of streaming service or something. I don't think like

180
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: Fox is putting us on. Maybe put it on the app,

181
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: but on the app the GM, so only NFL gms

182
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: will be able to witness this, don't the We'll open

183
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: it up. We'll have a temporary window, a keyhole if

184
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: you will. I'm making up jargon in that industry now

185
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: that will allow people to flood the app for a temporary,

186
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: um period. We need Greg Greg out there on that

187
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: boogermobile that we discussed on the Twitter. Greg's definitely on

188
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: the Boogermo down with that guy. So the defensive line

189
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: analysis that your sports is there at Wembley this Sunday

190
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: and that was there last Sunday, So who knows. Maybe

191
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: it's not that crazy of a notion. Well, isn't the

192
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: n b A. I believe the starters did this in

193
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: a preseason n b A. I'm not joking. I agree

194
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: with Erica. Could be like part there for halftime. So

195
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: maybe we'll start another movement. Once upon a time, we

196
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: had a hashtag onto London movement and I think it

197
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: involves sending pennies to Roger Goodell via postcards. Strange and

198
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: I was about what four years ago. Yeah, um, so

199
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: stay tuned. Maybe we'll come up with an idea. Uh,

200
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: we might not even launch it till the spring or

201
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: the summer because you want to kind of build toward it,

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: and right now is obviously the worst time to do

203
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: it because it's not gonna happen this year, but put

204
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: us in a booth for one of the three plus

205
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: games next year. Not kidding, Greg, not a bit. This

206
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: is not a bit. I mean, if if they're allowing

207
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, Rich eyes In and Steve Mariucci and those

208
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: guys to do it as kind of like a crowning

209
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: achievement of their NFL Networks career, it feels like we're

210
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: up next, right, Well, we're way more popular over there

211
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: than those guys, are you sure? Yeah? For sure? I

212
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: mean that may not be, but I didn't go we

213
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: want to take here with you. But it's not. This

214
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: is just stopped playing over it's playing here, it's playing

215
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: in the United States, right, Well is it playing there too?

216
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: Then who's calling the game over there? Maybe they do

217
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: just take that the feed, that's true, you're right, you're right,

218
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: they just take the feed absolutely well they can in

219
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: the US. It's good. They don't like us over here.

220
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: This building is not a fan of our show, but

221
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: like they're not going to use us here, But in

222
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: the UK they can use us. I think there's a

223
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: clear channel for that to happen, a clear pathway for

224
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: that to happen. Right there, you go that's that's my

225
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: second idea of the week that I really think is

226
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: a home run. All Right, we got a lot of

227
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: games to get to, uh four teams on by Chargers, Cowboys, Falcons, Titans,

228
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: but a lot to get to. So let's start with

229
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: the London game. The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a

230
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: really really tough loss um in weeks seven and now

231
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: there their reward after did you unplug me? What are

232
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: you doing over there? Greg Grog? What did you do? Grog?

233
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Now what? We're off to a rollicking star on this

234
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: Thursday night anyway. So yes, the Eagles, UH tough loss,

235
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: one of the worst losses, probably the worst loss of

236
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson era. UH seventeen nothing uh fourth quarter

237
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: lead against the Panthers they lose at home seventeen. Now

238
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: they go to London to face the Jaguars, who are

239
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: in a free fall as we know, lost losers of

240
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: four or five. Mark Blake Bortles gets the start on

241
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: a short least according to his head coach, you're gonna

242
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a Blake Bortles with his back against

243
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: the wall, dominant effort overseas. I like that he said

244
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: that he was totally at peace with being the scapegoat

245
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: for all of Jacksonsville's Jacksonville's issues, but a lot of

246
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: times the scapegoat suggests that you aren't really the fault,

247
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: the reason for the issues. But he absolutely is part

248
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: of the pie that is an distasteful, uh treat right

249
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: now in Jacksonville, a team I don't enjoy watching at

250
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: the moment. I just simply trust the Eagles more. If

251
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: you watch that Carolina Panthers game. They melted in the

252
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, but they really controlled that game for forty

253
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: six forty seven minutes, and I really blame the secondary

254
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: down the stretch for what Cam Newton and the Panthers

255
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: did in the final really basically eight minutes of that

256
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: game or so. The Eagles, to me have a m

257
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: v P level quarterback, and Carson Wentz playing as good

258
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: as he's ever played. He's statistically so much better right

259
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: now than he was at the start of the season.

260
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: He looks completely healthy. The Jaguars feel one quarterback switch

261
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: away from total chaos again. They're in free fall. I

262
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: think they're in total chaos. They are in total chaos,

263
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: and I am in a bad situation right now personally,

264
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: with this contest that we have, and I'm just gonna

265
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: lock up the Eagles right now. I don't care what

266
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: anyone thinks they're the road team. That's two with the

267
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: Eagles because Greg already locked him. I locked it up

268
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Yeah, so we're I'm just riding Greg's coat.

269
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: I had to tell you, guys, I'm locking up the

270
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: Eagles too. All right, Okay, I'm gonna I'm actually gonna

271
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: unlock it now, because what's the point of unlock it? Yeah, sure,

272
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: I'll pick another one. It just seems like, what's the

273
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: point then, why don't all four of us I'm not

274
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: I just pivot. Why not? You can pivot if you want.

275
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: I'll pick another game. All right, So you're unlocking. You

276
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: have an unlock drop. Greg is back on the acid. Yeah,

277
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like, I feel like, what's the

278
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: point of three of us have the same lock. It's like, um,

279
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't matter. It's fine if you lock it.

280
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: But the Eagles are a team that haven't shown to

281
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: be any good. I've been locking them semi permanently, just

282
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: as hope. At no point in the season have they

283
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: been anything but mediocre. They are actually ranked lower than

284
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville in efficiency in d v o A, They're around twenty,

285
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: which makes sense. They're about a slightly below average offense,

286
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: is slightly above average defense. Everything that I believe that

287
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: they can be as basically just been hope because they

288
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: look at the roster and think it all will come together,

289
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: and it should this week against you know, a lousy

290
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense. But it's like, let's start seeing it there.

291
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: It's funny because all of that is true, but teams

292
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: are still using the Eagles as a measuring stick. There's

293
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: still a statement win opponent, even though they're not that good.

294
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: They they one big difference between this year and last

295
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: is Jason Peters. Like they have a problem at left tackle,

296
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: whereas usually when he's healthy at least and he was

297
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: injured obviously for part of last year two. You know,

298
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: that's a huge asset. So that's a big change. And

299
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: this week you're going up against Yannick Andakway and whoever

300
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: else they want to line up over there, and that's

301
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: a problem. But the Jags front seven is getting pushed

302
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: around and run defense. I think you can run on

303
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: this team now. They are they are ranked and run defense.

304
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: In fact, the Jaguars they're weird team statistically because they're

305
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: ranked second overall and total defense first against the past,

306
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: but they're getting killed in the run and they are

307
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: tied for thirty in the NFL. And turnovers, they are

308
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: not turning the ball over, and when you combine that

309
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: with how often their quarterback turns the ball over, that's

310
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: been a big part of their problems field position and

311
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: game changing plays. Also, when we look at like d

312
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: V O A and that stuff, I get that that's

313
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: over the course of the whole season, that maybe Jacksonville

314
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: ranks higher than than Philadelphia, But there's there's segments to

315
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: the season. In the last three weeks for the Jaguars,

316
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: they have been a hideous team on defense, absolutely a nightmare. Yeah,

317
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: it's more that the Eagles point that I that I'm stressing.

318
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: They had that one game against the Giants, but other

319
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: than that, it's six weeks of basically mediocre results. Even

320
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: their wins against the will lock him up again because

321
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: I liked them. I just like picking a team that I,

322
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, I want to root for and I think

323
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: should get better at some point, and you know they're

324
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: they're I think they're a better team than the Eagle.

325
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: I've been expecting them to come around, but there's been

326
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: no evidence that that they've I mean, they killed the Giants,

327
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: and the Giants stink, and they were great for three quarters,

328
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: especially on defense um last week, and then it just crumbled.

329
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: I still I still feel like they're gonna be okay.

330
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's why why I feel confident this week.

331
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: But probably they may never. They just will never be

332
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: last year's offense, which was just built differently than the

333
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: two things is that Number One, we forgot a big

334
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: item of news on Wednesday's show, which is Derek Barnett

335
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: is out for the season, which is one of the

336
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: biggest surprises and biggest items of news I think all year,

337
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean all week rather because he's been a huge

338
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: part they they're good because of their defensive end UH rotation.

339
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: And then the other thing I'd say is this is

340
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: usually where Blake Bortles pull something out of his butt.

341
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: It's like the very moment where it seems like they're

342
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: absolutely ready to give up. I think I don't want

343
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: to lock him, but I don't want to lock the

344
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: Eagles for that very reason. This is the Blake boardles.

345
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: This is where he wants to be. I think now

346
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: I would need it. They gotta move on. The Baltimore

347
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: Ravens are up. They lost three. Heartbreak my boy, Justin

348
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: Tucker Sweet Justin missed that extra point. But he's ready

349
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: to bounce back. And he's traveling to Charlotte with his teammates.

350
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: Just still love him to face the Panthers, who we

351
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: just talked about that great comeback win. Um West. This

352
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: is Cam Newton versus the Ravens Number one defense. Is

353
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: Cam Newton physically Okay, he's gonna play, but there's a

354
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: shoulder issue here. Yeah. Ron Rivera said he has no

355
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: doubt that Cam Newton's gonna play. I don't think this

356
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: is like a major, major injury. Uh. It sounds like

357
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: something he can manage. And I think Cam, I don't

358
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: know if we're gonna see six completion rate all year,

359
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: but I do think we're seeing a different Cam working

360
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: with North Turner, and he's reached like that final fourth

361
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: stage of quarter backing where you are able to manipulate

362
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: the defense before the snap, or you're able to read

363
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: the defense and adjust accordingly. And I think he's doing

364
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: way more of that this year. Um, this is a

365
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: stiff test, just like it was a stiff tough for

366
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: the Saints defense last year or offense last week. The

367
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: Ravens defense is very good and I think this has

368
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: to be one of the most even matchups of the week.

369
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: For some reason, I think the Ravens are like just

370
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: slightly better than the Panthers. You gonna lock it up? No,

371
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like. I don't like locking up

372
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: a road team. We have history on the line. West

373
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: with seven straight locks to start the season could be

374
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: juicy have the record to himself if he can lock

375
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: up a week eight ball game. There's a lot of similarities,

376
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: but not stylistically, but that Cam Newton and Joe Flacco,

377
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: who are two guys that I think of, especially last

378
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: year as the most up and down quarterbacks this in

379
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: the in the league, have been very steady and I

380
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: think that's really helped the Ravens. And you kind of

381
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: know what you're getting out of Flacco every week, and

382
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: for the most part, you know what you're getting out

383
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: of Cam Newton every week. And that's a change for

384
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: those two. That is one of the most drastic changes

385
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: of any quarterback. Because Cam has been so up and

386
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: down with his mechanics. I can come up with ways

387
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: why this is how the Saints could get past Baltimore's

388
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: defense last week a lot of different ways. But with

389
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: with this Panther's offense, I just don't see a lot

390
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: of opportunities for explosive plays that there's not a huge

391
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: downfield element to their passing game. And really they're gonna

392
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: have to find a way to run the ball, and

393
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: they one of the running like results haven't been as

394
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: good the past two weeks, but they've been buried into

395
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: seventeen nothing holes that had a lot to do with it.

396
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: They need more though, they what secondary receiver is gonna

397
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: step up for the pan right? They need DJ and

398
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: more DJ more and Curtis Samuel. Like everyone assumes Greg

399
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Alson's back in the lineup, here we go. He's the

400
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: key guy. He's moving, he's not. He's moving like a

401
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: guy who's about ready to retire, and it's coming off

402
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: a major injury. That's how he's moving right now. Looks

403
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: like himself and and so I don't know what that means,

404
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: but they could they could use him to be the

405
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: second well his his foot is held together by taping

406
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: staples at this point, so that's problematic. The Ravens could

407
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: really use a running game, though. There was a quote

408
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: by the whoever was announcing last game. The play by

409
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: play guy at one point said like, Alex Collins, you know,

410
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: running violently but not getting very far on second down.

411
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: And I thought, like, that's a nice way to sum

412
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: up Alex Collins in general, like he's always running really

413
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: hard and a lot of crazy things are happening, and

414
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: then it's like he's averaging three point But did you

415
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: know that he did some Irish step dancing to work

416
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: on his foot work. Apparently that goes all the way

417
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: back there high school? That was that was last season's

418
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: trope everywhere they need Kenneth Dickson to come back. Were

419
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: you aware that would help? I was aware. I'm now

420
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: looking trying to figure out, like which games are the

421
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: main point of the lock competition. I think for me

422
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: at this point is just to avoid scorn when I

423
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: make the pick. So let's go with the Ravens on

424
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: the road. That's like the I mean, it'd be nice

425
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: to get it right, but let's go with the Ravens

426
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: on the road. Why not that sounds like a guy

427
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: speak you protecting yourself. Now you can get it wrong.

428
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: It's like, well, I wasn't really even know I'm trying

429
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: to get I I think the Ravens are gonna win,

430
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: and I'm absolutely gonna pick them, uh to win. And

431
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: it's a it's a coin flip game, as West said,

432
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: So it's a good one to go with you. There

433
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: is an element of that at play with the locks,

434
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: where you've got to somehow figure out how to pick

435
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: a lock that everyone's not going to frown on verbally

436
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: for fourteen minutes after you make your pick. I try

437
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: to that's also true. But I try to pick games

438
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: they don't look like they're gonna go down to the

439
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: final minute. And this one, to me, looks like it's

440
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: going down to the final minute. Uh, so you lock

441
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: it up? Yeah, lock it up. Certainly you look in

442
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: the mirror there and you like, yeah, you like what's

443
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: looking back at you. I mean, only if it's right.

444
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: I guess. Moving on. The team of around the NFL

445
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: is coming out of there by, come out of there by,

446
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: and uh lose two games. Uh you know, they get

447
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: beat by the Dolphins, which just looks worse and worse. Uh.

448
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: And then uh, they go back and forth of the

449
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: path but can't keep up at the end of the

450
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: day lose by touchdown at home. Uh. Now they have

451
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: a chance to get back on track against the Jets

452
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: at home. A Jets team, uh, Greg that's brutally beat

453
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: up right now. And now the latest injury is Bilal

454
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: Pal who's out for the year with next surgery. Robby

455
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: Edison hurt his ankle, and practice, there's gonna be a

456
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: lot of special teams players on the Jets offense trying

457
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: to catch passes this week. This seems like a really

458
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: good setup for the Bears, a cruise scenario. I mean,

459
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: a three and three Bears team probably shouldn't be looking

460
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: past anyone. But you're right that I do think that

461
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna recede further into the meaningful games

462
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: this season, whereas the Bears I think are gonna stick around.

463
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: But they have to be worried about Khalil mac being

464
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: so quiet the last two weeks. They're kind of not

465
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: the same team when Khalil Mack is quiet or not,

466
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: like he has not helped them playing her assuming that's

467
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: what he's doing. The last two weeks, which makes me think,

468
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: can Leonard Floyd Shilpin makes him play because this is

469
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: what he was drafted to do. Is this what their

470
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: defense would have looked like if they didn't trade for

471
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: Cleo mac Right, they're just gonna because Okay, you know,

472
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: after watching the game, they played fine against the Patriots.

473
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: The defense gave up twenty four points. They did for

474
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: some funts, you're playing a really good offense. It wasn't.

475
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: But it just wasn't like a difference making defense, and

476
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: that's what we thought they might be. If you're a

477
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Jets fan and well, Dan, you can tell me if

478
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: you disagree. I thought the first quarter against the Vikings

479
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: and that's not a long segment of time, but they

480
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: really really hung around and played well, and then it

481
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: then they just completely Their offense is so beaten up

482
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: that it's it's it's the one of the most inconsistent

483
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: offenses in the league because it's just a bunch of

484
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: jabronies out there like you. It's it's guys you've never

485
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: even heard of, trying to catch like screen passes from

486
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. This is the case of a Vikings team

487
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: just being much more talented and kind of overwhelming their

488
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: opponent as as the game went on. I'm really nervous

489
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: about um, Sam Donald's progression here as he goes through

490
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: his rookie year, because, um, I don't know how he's

491
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: gonna be able to if this is a situation where

492
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't have anybody to throw to and and the

493
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: blocking is not good and they're gonna be playing from behind.

494
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: I just don't want him to get hurt. And I

495
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: don't want him to have a season where he throws

496
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: twenty eight interceptions and um really, through no fault of

497
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: his or even Todd Bowles. I don't like the direction

498
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: the season is heading. Uh, and I don't like how

499
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: this game feels at all. I agree because I think

500
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: the Bears are due to turn around. But if you're

501
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: the Jets, you're hoping you get a little healthier in

502
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: the secondary, and you hope Mitchell Trabinsky gets a little less.

503
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: He's been very lucky. No one has a better ratio

504
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: of like solid looking stats to not playing very well

505
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: than Trabinsky, who has had a bunch of interceptions drop

506
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: his hand, right, Yeah that's fair, And like when Trabinsky misses,

507
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: this is what worries me when Trabinsky misses. He misses

508
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: by like fifteen yards, and this is the guy who's

509
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: supposed to be accurate, and maybe it's it's more down

510
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: the field throw, but it's like he misses by a

511
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: ton and he had I don't know where Alan Robinson

512
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: has been that was supposed to be there one receiver

513
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: right now. I think he's fourth on a team and receiving.

514
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: Matt Neeggie addressed that, and you can either believe him

515
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: or you don't, but he says, Mitch is doing that

516
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: at my instruction when the play isn't there. I've instructed

517
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: him to throw it away and not come close to

518
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: the play. So that's what terms of missing the throws. Yeah,

519
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: I said, if the throw isn't there, if it's tight coverage,

520
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: or if if it's not there, throw it, don't throw

521
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: it that close. I still don't see a quarterback that like,

522
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know from. I don't want to build an

523
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: offense around a scrambling quarterback, and I don't see a

524
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: guy that's like a pinpoint passer at all. Let's move

525
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: on to Tampa Bay Buccaneers three and three coming off

526
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: that three point went over the Browns in overtime, travel

527
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati to face the Bungles, who got humbled UH

528
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: at Arrowhead, a really dreadful Sunday night loss. Greg will

529
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: the excuse me, Mark Will? The Bengals bounce back uh

530
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: from being blown out and as Tampa the exact right

531
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: team you want in the building. I don't know how

532
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals talk about looking at yourself in the mirror.

533
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: If they all here at home to Tampa Bay. Then

534
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: suddenly sort of everything that I thought about Cincinnati before

535
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game, the wheels come off of all those

536
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: all those pretty things that I thought Cincinnati could be

537
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: the season because they're just another team at that point.

538
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay obviously played. They played awfully and overtime against Cleveland,

539
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: but Jamis Winston in the their passing game can damage people,

540
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: and they were really potent for most of that game

541
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: against Cleveland and tail overtime. The one guy that's vanished

542
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: entirely and didn't have a catch in regulation was to

543
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson. And yesterday when we were dealing with that

544
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: computerized minkstress bridget, I was going to suggest that we

545
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: have DeShawn Jackson as trade bait to maybe a team

546
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: like the Jets or a team like the Texans that

547
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: could use someone else in their game. He's not Winston.

548
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: This has they forgot to bring it up because of

549
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: your blind rage or what what happened? Well, was it

550
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: my third option and I we didn't. We didn't cycle.

551
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: Thank you. Currently like a half game behind the Bengals.

552
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they should be trading people. They should

553
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: be trying to go to the I just it's just

554
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: the one thing that I feel like NFL dot Com

555
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: has written like six thousand Jamis Winston trying to get

556
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: in sync with Deshan Jackson articles, and it's not. It's

557
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 1: the one thing that's not happening because it was happening

558
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: with with Brian Fitzpatrick. He throws a different deep ball

559
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: than Fitzpatrick, who throws rainbow. Fitzpatrick throws him up in

560
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: the air and let's de Shan Jackson run under it.

561
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: Winston throws it more on aline. If I was a

562
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 1: contender and if de Sean Jackson wasn't working in Tampa,

563
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: I'd give up like a fifth round pick to take

564
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: on this cut salary for next year usually in the

565
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: league and receiving after four weeks and then he finished,

566
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: he vanished. It's like, come on, he's a thirty year

567
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: old receiver. He's getting he's actually i think due to

568
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: make like eleven million next year, and you don't even

569
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: necessarily at the pay him. Uh, and you just have

570
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: them as a rental potential. You didn't give up a

571
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: late round pick. The one thing I'd say West Tampa

572
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: is giving up forty points on the road. Well. Also,

573
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: they fired their defensive coordinator and I thought played much.

574
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: They played better, and they're they're playing an offense the

575
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: first half in Cincinnati that now really just has two

576
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: receivers thats Tyler Boyd Nja Green. But in in two

577
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen that doesn't really like fly All these great

578
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: offenses have four or five options on every play. They've

579
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: got nothing from John Ross, who has heard again losing

580
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Reiffer really hurt them, and so they're a little

581
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: more one dimensional with a pretty lousy defense that everyone

582
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: got to see last Sunday night. It wasn't just because

583
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: they're playing the Chiefs, because they're a lousy defense right now,

584
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: even though they have good players. That Efford injury was

585
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: a killer. Yeah, Yeah, their production has gone down in

586
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: four straight games on offense and then on defense. Perfects

587
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: not practicing this week. Um, so we'll see, but Greg,

588
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: you're accountable. Hot take is not going well so far?

589
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was that Chris Westling would admit at

590
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: the beginning of November that Jamis Winston is playing great football, which, yeah,

591
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: it's not off to a good start. I think he's

592
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 1: played about what he normally does. Some good and Winston

593
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: could have played like Patrick Mahomes and less probably wasn't. No,

594
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about a guy who just keeps making

595
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: bonehead mistakes over and over. How many years into his

596
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: career is he now? And he still plays like a

597
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: rookie and we keep treating him as if, Oh, he's

598
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: got this great ceiling. But he's been the same player

599
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: all along. I think the blooms coming off the roads

600
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: a little bit on that. Yeah, and here's here'sn't feel

601
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: like people are quite as high on what this guy's

602
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: ceiling is. I hear you. He's a year younger than

603
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: Carson went He's twenty four, you know, a long career,

604
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: like people said about Matthew Stafford. Next year, he'll be

605
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: a year younger than someone else in the are After that,

606
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: he'll be a year younger than someone else and will

607
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: still be throwing games away. Here's a rough accountable. It

608
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: was already, it was. It was a long long shot.

609
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, he's already You're right, maybe a

610
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: ceilings at the high. He's already a league average starting quarterback.

611
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: So that she's been, it's not like it's not like

612
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't have value. He's with a solid starting quarter

613
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: with baggage. Yeah, all right, let's move on. The Seahawks

614
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: are three and three. Uh, get healthy win against the

615
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: Raiders in week six? Then thereby uh, and now they

616
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: had to Detroit to face the Lions West. You locked

617
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: up the Lions last week, you felt good about the

618
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: going to Miami, and now they got a home game,

619
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: and they also got Damon Snacks Harrison. I would assume

620
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: he'll be part of the game plan against the Seahawks.

621
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: How you feel? And here about two three and three

622
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: teams going back to the well, locking up the liners again?

623
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: Who look at you? Back to back lines? Look at you? Why?

624
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: Why the confidence? I like the way they're playing, and

625
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: a lot of that is the rookie class. Carry on Johnson,

626
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: who I'm not sure who he reminds me of. Maybe

627
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden saw on Twitter you were trying that. You're

628
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: going back and forth with some people trying to figure out.

629
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he makes people miss though, and Darren

630
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: McFadden did not. Absolutely, Darren McFadden did early in his career.

631
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: He had great seasons with the Raiders. I mean, give

632
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: me a break. When Hugh Jackson was running that team,

633
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden was playing at a Pro Bowl level for

634
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years. So I don't want to hear

635
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: that Harry did not make evil missing space though he

636
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: absolutely did. You are incorrect. How did he ever do

637
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: for five yards per carry? The two thousand ten tape

638
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: right now, pausa show and let's figure it out. I mean,

639
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: of course when he played for the Cowboys he was

640
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: washed up. He didn't. But uh, Frank rag now is

641
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: playing much better. The first rounder carry On Johnson, uh,

642
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: and Deshaun hand a guy they drafted in fourth round

643
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: on their defensive line, is getting after quarterbacks. I like

644
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: this rookie class, you know, I like, Um, that's a

645
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: great name. My favorite Lions name still is Jerry Ball.

646
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jerry Cleveland Brown too for a while. These

647
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: are two really improved offensive Lions. You mentioned Rag Now,

648
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean the Lions kind of controlled that game. We

649
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: talked about in the off season that they were supposed

650
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: to be much better upfront. It took a little while

651
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: to come together, and then the Seahawks. The Seahawks looked

652
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: like a different team. I know they were playing the Raiders,

653
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: but in general, their offensive line has not been a

654
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: problem this year. ESPN had this whole analytical study of

655
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: who has the best tackle combination in football and pressures, hurries,

656
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: all this different stuff they have. The Seahawks is the

657
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: fifth best combination of tackles in the league, which seemed

658
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: a little crazy to me. But I do think that

659
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: they've gotten improved play, and they're good run blockers, and

660
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: they've got a bit of an identity day. So I

661
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: don't I think this is the week West is going down.

662
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks win this game. But I love

663
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Tea. It's I wish I didn't already blow

664
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: my lock. I would have just gone right again, change

665
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: it again, rules here, let's do it again. Wow, that's

666
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: how you pick up ground on West. There you go.

667
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: If you win if you win or you fall even

668
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: further behind into a total pit of dark basically done

669
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: in the race. Taking a road dog? Why not? I

670
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: like I do. I do think the Seahawks are good,

671
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: so it's it's also but the Lions are playing some

672
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: good football right now. I think the Damon Harrison trade

673
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: is perfect for this defense. In the three games they lost,

674
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: they gave up a hundred and eighty yards rushing, and

675
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: they've been kind of back and forth as a defense,

676
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: and the three games they won they give up less

677
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: than a hundred rushing and this addresses their biggest hole

678
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: on that defense right now. And I think it's a

679
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: great It's it's a fit and it's a fit for

680
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: the coach to fit for the scheme. Um. We are

681
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: five games into our preview Grega's three box. So far

682
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: all three have been road dogs. By the way, A

683
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: little fun fact moving on. The Denver Broncos ten victors

684
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: on Thursday nights, so they get a kind of a

685
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: mini by uh, and they need it because now they're

686
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: going to arrowhead to face the Chiefs, who also won

687
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: in Week seven and look as good as anybody in

688
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: football on offense, including the Rams. Greg who's got a

689
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: better offense right now? It's good. I would take the Chiefs.

690
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are harder to stop overall a little.

691
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's I don't know what they're they're

692
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: two of the best offenses we've seen in a long time.

693
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons the Chiefs is are so

694
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 1: good because like last week, the Bengals tried to keep

695
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: them all in front of them, you know, make them

696
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: kind of work the way down the field, not not

697
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: just all big plays. And it didn't matter, like because

698
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: all of these guys can break tackles. Kelsey cream Hunt

699
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: is leading the league in in miss tackles right now.

700
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: But I think the Chiefs overall, But I mean the

701
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: Broncos have, Yes, if I had to choose one, the

702
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: Broncos have this team beat. About a month ago, it

703
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: was in their building. They could not figure out a

704
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: way and and showtime. According to Joe Tessa Tour took over.

705
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: But it's that's They're gonna need a lot more on

706
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: the road here. This is a tough task for any team.

707
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs are the fourth team in the last fifteen years

708
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: to average thirty seven points per game three weeks seven,

709
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen, Broncos two thousand nine, Sts two thousand seven,

710
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: Patriots seven points for one of One of the reasons

711
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: that's a little under the radar is the Chiefs have

712
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: the number one special teams in the league. That so

713
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: you're adding the number one offense in my mind and

714
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: according to Football Outsiders, the number one special teams where

715
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: they're they have great field position, they have great return units,

716
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: they have a great field goal kicker. It's like, you

717
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: don't need to have a great defense if if you've

718
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: got all that going on and there is room for

719
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: improvement on that defense, I think they did it last week,

720
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: had great door. You know, Daniel and Brennan Speaks are

721
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: getting some playing time with Justin Houston. Now. I think

722
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be valuable down the stretch. To me, their

723
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: defense is playing a little bit better. They get Daniel

724
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: Sorenson back soon, who was on i R to begin

725
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: the year. Von Miller hasn't had a sack in two

726
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: years against the Chiefs, and the Chiefs their offensive line

727
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: is protecting Mahomes really really well. They do everything well.

728
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: And I I that Broncos from last Thursday, the game

729
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: feels like two years ago. But that was like they

730
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: did not the coach did not lose this team, not

731
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: the way they played the Cardinals. I know it's a

732
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: terrible Arizona team, but von Miller played out of his

733
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: mind and he's gonna have to do it again. And

734
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs they have the von Miller stopper and former

735
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: Brown Mitchell Schwartz, who's been on has really won that

736
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: matchup against von Miller over and over again. And I

737
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: want to use you. Brought up Vance Joseph. I don't

738
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: think he's out of the woods here with job security,

739
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: because let's assume this goes how we think will probably go,

740
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: you know, let's say forty two seventeen there, uh, and

741
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you're sitting on three and

742
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: five if you don't win that Houston game the next

743
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: week going into your bye Van josephs and still in

744
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: a bit of trouble, even though he had that big,

745
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: resounding win last week against the terrible Cardinals. I just wonder,

746
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: I guess with some of these because you've already fired

747
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: one of your coordinators who deserved to go in Mike McCoy.

748
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: But um, I'm not sorry. That's the Cardinals, but like

749
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: they wos fired him last year. It's hard at this point. Please,

750
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: but who do you hand the team to wake? What's

751
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: the point of of firing that show and then fire

752
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: him like in weekends? That would be I would not

753
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: wish getting fired three times in like twenty months on

754
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: your worst enemy. That's pretty rough. Well the only thing

755
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: any months. I can't remember any NFL coach that ever

756
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: happening to he got he was asked to do the

757
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: press conference after the last game ever played in San Diego.

758
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: He talked to the media. I happened to be I

759
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: was sitting there. By the time you got back up

760
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: to the press box, there was a photocopy on your

761
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: on your desk with the statement that he was fired

762
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: in the time between walking up in the in the

763
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: in the elevator. He was fired over that time and

764
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: now he's been fired twice since coming off the copy

765
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: or while he was speaking was hot? Uh, moving on,

766
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: it was hot more ways than one. The way you

767
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: told that story is hot. What if we have him

768
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: on the show and not fire him. Yeah, he's not

769
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: gonna be doing a good job based on what we've seen.

770
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: It's oh guy, all right here we go the first place.

771
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the NFC East, the leaves changing color, you know.

772
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: Getting back from St. Margaret's going over to Granby and

773
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: Poppy's house. And there's Poppy on that brown chair and

774
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: he's holding that roof here, and he's got his pretzels

775
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: and and I say, Poppy, now the Giants doing today?

776
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: Poppy says, yeah, thanks Poppy. So is he super plugged

777
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: in on the Giants or is he into the game?

778
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 1: And it's not really a time for conversation. I didn't

779
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of deep conversation is with my grandfather.

780
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: He was he was a somewhat quiet man. But when

781
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: the Giants we're on, you weren' gonna get you. We're

782
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: gonna be going back and forth about oh look at this,

783
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: look at the zone defense scheme. Wait what Sims doing today? No,

784
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of just like poppies watching the game in

785
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: the den. And if you want to sit there and

786
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: watch it with them, you can, but don't expect to

787
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: be in a heavy can you know what that reminds

788
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: me of a fans notes go to the bar to

789
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: watch the giant thing? You don't want heretics. You know,

790
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: it's the worst when you're trying to watch a game

791
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: somewhere out and someone's in your ear a wait for me. Anyway.

792
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: So the reason I thought of that is because the

793
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: Redskins and Giants are playing. Uh. And also I watched

794
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: the I had it on my DVR for weeks and

795
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks. Uh, the Lawrence Taylor UM Football Life.

796
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: Did you guys check that out? It was very good.

797
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: It's a good machine. You should check that out. Park

798
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: great time machine of the NFL and that division in particular. Anyway,

799
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: So here are the Redskins, uh four and two. They

800
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: are leading the NFC East and they really now um

801
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: get get an opportunity to set themselves up well going

802
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: into the second half of the season. Because here are

803
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: the Giants, who mark are just in tatters right now

804
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: and one in six trading away Eli Apple. We didn't

805
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 1: really get into that on the last podcast. In addition

806
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: to the trading snacks, Harrison the Lions. They move Elie

807
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: Apple to the Saints. And this was a guy that

808
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: was a difference maker. Maybe he didn't live up to

809
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: his draft type as a first round pick. His mom

810
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 1: maybe made more headlines than him in his two years

811
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: in New York, but he was a piece of that defense.

812
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: So this is a complete They're in complete shambles right now,

813
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: and the Redskins couldn't get them at a better time.

814
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: They have given up on their season. They're in purge mode.

815
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: And we both come from somewhere where you have a

816
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: lot of Giants France, like giant fan friends, and I

817
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: don't know if you're getting the text I'm getting text

818
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: from some they're furious with what's happened with his team

819
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years, and that you guys

820
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: talked about the Redskins Cowboys game is like an old

821
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: school NFC West rumble and I couldn't agree more watching

822
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: that and what I loved about Washington what they did

823
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: against Dala since they created two major turnovers of Dak

824
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: Prescott fumbles that changed that game entirely, and they have

825
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: a chance to do it again. Eli Manning is getting

826
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: banged up every game, two plus sacks and six of

827
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: seven appearances, he's getting hit his He's just getting hit

828
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: left and right, and the Redskins basically just feels like

829
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: an absolute wipe out. If they can keep a lid

830
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: on Odell Beckham at Quon Barkley, like the Giants aren't confusing.

831
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: They have these players that you'd want on any team,

832
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: and they're unwatchable as an overall franchise right now, those

833
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: turnovers from the Redskins defense that you mentioned, DJ Sweerrenger

834
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: having a great year and to my mind, maybe the

835
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: most underrated player in the NFL. Zach Brown inside linebacker

836
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: is one of the best run stopping linebackers in the

837
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: league um and he is the heartbeat of that defense.

838
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,959
Speaker 1: I think they you would assume their defensive line, which

839
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 1: we've been talking about a year, would kind of dominate upfront,

840
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: that you couldn't really run on this team, and so

841
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: then it's on Eli. And one one thing I was

842
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 1: thinking watching that Giant scheme where I thought Eli played

843
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: pretty well overall last week was throwing the ball pretty well.

844
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: But he is so often not on the same page

845
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: with his receivers, and that's something it's unfair to compare

846
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: him to Peyton Manning, but like that's what Peyton Manning

847
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: did best was basically be on the same page of

848
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: his receivers. You could you could drop a new receiver

849
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: onto his team and first year, it's like the timing

850
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: would just be perfect. And you just see so many

851
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: times with Sterling, Shepard and Ingram and even od B

852
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: that like they're not seeing the field the same way

853
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: I am. Getting out of the ELI defender of business.

854
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: But when Peyton Manning got old, he didn't look so

855
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: good dealing with new receivers. I imagine like if ELI

856
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: is washed up, then one for one year. He Peyton

857
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: Manning got out. He had one year and he got

858
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: out and he won the Super I just don't like these,

859
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: Like the team that decides it's gonna channel itself through

860
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: a running back, no matter how good the running back is,

861
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: it just like you're fifteen years behind what's happening. Right.

862
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: It was tough to watch that game. I hit on

863
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: it a little bit on the Twitter Show, but se

864
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley is as talented as any running back in

865
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: the league. But when when you're just running him into

866
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: a wall over and over again and then every how

867
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: many times? How many touches did he have in that game?

868
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: I know probably it probably was all right around yeah

869
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: twenty three. It felt like it was a hundred and

870
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty three, and there was just no way to run

871
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: an offense. There was one play. I think it was

872
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: a third and two where and this is on Eli

873
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: for not seeing the field as well, but he run

874
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: Barkley runs out for a screen to pick it up,

875
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: three convert defenders converging upon him, and Eli just put

876
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: throws it to him anyway, and he gets swallowed up

877
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: for a seven yard loss. And I'm like, this is

878
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: not how football should be played. Like I am not

879
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: Bill Walsh or as a you know, drawing up plays

880
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: in the in the dirt with Joe Montana, but I

881
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: know this is not how offense is supposed to look,

882
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: especially when you have skill players on this team. It's tough.

883
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: They're tough watch right now, and I won't do it again.

884
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time I disagree with comparison

885
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: as much as all of the Barry Sanders comparisons to

886
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: say quality, I don't get that. I don't see that

887
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: at all. If he's also like forty more pounds and right,

888
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: he's a much more physical guy, and he's got explosive

889
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: jump cuts like a young Adrian Peterson more than you're

890
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: right about the right timing, by the way, because Adrian,

891
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: you get Adrian Peterson going up against a team that

892
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: just got rid of snacks than you could be a

893
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: buck twenty for your boy. About a buck twenty in

894
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: a touch. I mean he's on a pro Bowl. He's

895
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: a pro bowler. Uh, let's move on the Brownies. It's

896
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: not a thing. Not a thing. Uh. Two four and one. Uh,

897
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: disappointing loss at Tampa last week. Now now they're up

898
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: against it. Sometimes you gotta win these games. Sometimes you

899
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: gotta win a game. You gotta win the Bucks game

900
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: because the next week you gotta go to Pittsburgh now

901
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: and face the Steelers coming off there by you do,

902
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,479
Speaker 1: I guess catch a break um Mark in the sense

903
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: that levy on Bell isn't there. But they're they've been fine.

904
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: They've been fine with Adam. They gotta make their own bricks.

905
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: They've been fine without lab On Bell was Oh yeah,

906
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: they've been they've been fine. And to me, this matchup,

907
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: what I'd be worried about is a Ounds fan is

908
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: there seems to be a disconnect between Baker Mayfield and

909
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: his past protection. I don't I can't put my finger

910
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: on it, but he doesn't seem as confident in the

911
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: pocket when he drops back, and he's getting hurried a

912
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: lot I can't tell if that's his fault of the

913
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: offensive line, but there's an issue there. And the Steelers

914
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: pass rush has really come alive the last few weeks.

915
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: So to me, that's that's the matchup to watch in

916
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: this one. I don't like the matchup at all. I

917
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: mean Cleveland also, this is another one of those like

918
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: Slay the Ghost type games. They haven't on Sunday. Comes Sunday,

919
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: they will have not one in Pittsburgh and five thousand,

920
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: five hundred and two days. And the last time they well,

921
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: the last time I was remember sitting at my parents

922
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, Tim Couch beat them on a

923
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: I think it was a Sunday night football, getting in

924
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: your couch watching couch, sitting on my couch watching couch.

925
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: Did you just tell us the years because the days? Yeah, no,

926
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: I was not going to have you do that. But

927
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: that's how that's just the story of this team. And

928
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: like you, the way they played in the second half

929
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: against the Bucks on offense with Nick Chubb, that was

930
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: he is he is, and I was I wanted them

931
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: to keep high just for this sheer's sake of depth,

932
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: because if you lose Chubb for even a couple of weeks,

933
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: you've got nothing but Duke Johnson there, but they think

934
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: they lead the league and drops and and the left

935
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: tackle play has been getting Baker Mayfield killed, and sometimes

936
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: the right tackle play and sometimes right up the middle.

937
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: So I don't like the matchup against I almost was

938
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: going to lock up the Browns and one of these

939
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: stupid things that I do, and I said, stop doing this.

940
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: Stop that would be stupid. How about the idea that

941
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas is a villain for retiring? How about that? No,

942
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: no one said that? Who said that? That says not?

943
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: I am curious, like has the Steelers because you're you're

944
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 1: on the sideline and he's still like Browns fan number one.

945
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: It's like, if you love this big, it would have

946
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: been perfect a year. It would have been perfect for

947
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: one more season. But yeah, you know, anybody else, continue

948
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: to savage your body, Joe, thank you? What I actually

949
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: missed it? Dan is hot and masculing the trade the

950
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: whole scisser, All right, not a trade, but come up

951
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: with some new ideas. Could have Yeah, entered a new

952
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: one there, but she doesn't have a lot of the ram.

953
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: Well we can tell. I want to know if like

954
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: they's got a lot of everything else. Though, if you

955
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, what are you saying? It's a robot,

956
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: it's a hot robot. It's not even a robot. It's

957
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: like weird science right now, it's just a compute thought

958
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 1: it was a computer. But now peeling back the layers

959
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: and now you're learning that Eric and I went in

960
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: the dumpster and put together a full robot. It's a

961
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: monitor with a huge backside, and it is the Steelers

962
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: went into the and it lives with I keep her

963
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: in the garage. What what does Emily think about that?

964
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: She doesn't know you have made something of an announcement

965
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: here that's no longer Probably I have the only key

966
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: to the garage. I'll stop there. What else you got

967
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: in there? Sensor censored? That could be cutting another? Alright,

968
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: go ahead for it was gonna save that drop. I

969
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 1: don't even want to go next. I can't follow that up.

970
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: Had something on the steel I mean it's probably at

971
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: this point, is you know, it's probably about like line

972
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: player or whatever. Uh. Bed Roethlisberger before the bye was

973
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: just chilling like they were. The Bengals were sending blitz.

974
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: Is the Falcons were and granted maybe those aren't the

975
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: two best defense in the world, but like teams were

976
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: sending people at him and he was just like hanging

977
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: out back there. He could not have been more worried.

978
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: They could not have dominated their last two games before

979
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: the bye up front more than they did. And as

980
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: West mentioned it, it came on defense too. So I'm

981
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: wondering are those improvements gonna stick, because then they're back

982
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: to basically being the Steelers team everyone expected. All right,

983
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: let's move on. That was worth waiting for. I liked it.

984
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: That was good. Uh. The Indian Apple's cults. Why are

985
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: we constantly self assessing during the show. The cults are

986
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: two and five, But they looked damn good in destroying

987
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: the hideous Bills thirty five last week and now they

988
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: get the Raiders. How about that? How about ava back

989
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: to back to get healthy? Uh? We just talked about

990
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: the Giants being in a tear it down. Well, the

991
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:30,399
Speaker 1: Raiders just traded Marie Cooper. There's reports that nobody likes

992
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I'm sure that's good for morale in the

993
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: locker room. Uh so, Greg, the Colts have a chance

994
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: to really get rolling here against the down on its

995
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: luck Raiders unit. Yeah, if I had been trying to predict,

996
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: like what West would have locked up, which would make

997
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: another fun segment. Why don't we just lock up? Who

998
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 1: other people are gonna lock up? What are you the same?

999
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: This did not pass the mirror to against the races.

1000
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: This did not pass the mirror. They're barely favored their favorite.

1001
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean the Lions are actually favored. You're talking about

1002
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: your mirror. But here's the thing. The mirror is subjective.

1003
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: So of course that's one way that I do it,

1004
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: and that's all you need to work. I could not

1005
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 1: look in the mirror on this game. Remember the John

1006
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: Fox Bears, where like once a year or twice the

1007
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: Eagles are favored by more than the Cults are the

1008
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: lines for that matter, I don't care what the desert says.

1009
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: Let me just say, I'm just saying it's not a

1010
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: crazy notion. I think I could take the call. Feel

1011
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: like help here? Um, you use the line a lot

1012
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: to figure out the mirror West? You do not? Let

1013
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: me say, because I did see these lines, it's a

1014
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: bad line. Yeah, don't you agree? Right? Can I can

1015
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: I make my point about John Fox? Go ahead? Remember

1016
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: what the Bears, and once or twice a year he

1017
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: would just punt a game like he wouldn't even try

1018
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: to win. It would be just like I'm just gonna punt.

1019
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: Third Seahawks the Raiders in London pre game decision. The

1020
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: Raiders in London punted their offense. They decided that the

1021
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: rookie tackles could not block the Seahawks, so they didn't

1022
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: try to pass longer than ten yards and basically are

1023
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: thrown through a shoulder injury. Yeah, he they could not

1024
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 1: run an offense and they knew it, Like by the

1025
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: middle of the first quarter they said, I can't this

1026
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,720
Speaker 1: guy can't drop back and throw downfield. Their left tackle

1027
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: hasn't protected anyone all season, and now they have a

1028
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: rookie left tackle too, and their left tackle was playing

1029
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: through a knee in Duram that game too, So I mean,

1030
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: that's a lot of what happened. But no, I could

1031
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: not lock up against the Raiders. Come on, uh, I can't.

1032
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: You can't say it. But the people in the desert,

1033
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: this is how much better they feel about the Cults

1034
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: over the Raiders this week. Ah ah ah ah. And

1035
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't that doesn't feel like it's no, they're not.

1036
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: It's not passing the eyeball test for me. The way

1037
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: the culture playing on how bad the Raiders are, that's great, world.

1038
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: I don't as that. I mean, they're at home. You know,

1039
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: if if we all knew what was going to happen

1040
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: ahead of time, we could become rich. But Marlin, we're

1041
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: gonna do this endless circle of whether the desert knows

1042
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: what they're talking about or not. They're always right. Now,

1043
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: that's at my point, and I'm just saying, you can

1044
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: never predict anything because nobody knows anything. I mean, what's

1045
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: the purpose of the show, then, I honestly I think

1046
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: predictions are you are not the purpose of the show.

1047
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: Very he's a nihilist. I love football like I'm excited

1048
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: for Thursday night football. You guys are grown and about it.

1049
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a nihilist. I don't. I just want to watch.

1050
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: Its a big part of the show. I do think

1051
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: the culture every team is even they're all five hundred

1052
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: and they're all gonna finish eight and Nate, we we

1053
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: all love all the same strength and weaknesses. There's no

1054
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: use any analysis whatsoever is totally useless in the I

1055
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 1: love talking about like how the teams are different, and

1056
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: we love this Colts team, which is two and five.

1057
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: It's totally different than any Colts team we've seen because

1058
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck never gets hit. He's been sacked once in

1059
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. He doesn't run the ball. He's

1060
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: essentially a completely different quarterback than we've ever seen him

1061
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: be before. My dream is still in play. By the way,

1062
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: it's not likely because the Chiefs are having a really

1063
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: nice season, but everybody can still go eight Nate season. Yes,

1064
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: I was very excited about that assibility, and maybe that's

1065
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: the best way for football to be played, is that

1066
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: everybody is in the mix. Any anything can happen. Everybody

1067
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: goes ate. Nate still in play two or three more weeks.

1068
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: I love the Cults West. My thing is I'm worried about, like,

1069
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're at the point where I'm

1070
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: just assuming that they're gonna win a road game against

1071
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: any team, that's all. I don't like that Marlon Mack

1072
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: he got downgraded to didn't did not practice today, and

1073
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: people aren't I'm not sure why that is. At this point,

1074
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: I don't think you can rely on him. He's got

1075
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: an ankle injury right now, so we'll see. But they

1076
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: ran the ball well last week. Hey. G Suite is

1107

Speaker 1: part of the change her Most of beach is beautiful

1108
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: this time of year. Let's um move on to the

1109
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners one and six got spanked by

1110
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: the Rams last week. Travel now to Arizona, UH to

1111
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: face the cards coming off of many by after they

1112
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: got embarrassed by the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. They

1113
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: get another home game here. Mark Sessler, which of these

1114
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: teams has a better outlook for the rest of the season.

1115
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: I think it's the forty Niners I mean you already

1116
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: into coaching switches with the Cardinals. I do think it's

1117
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: interesting though Byron left which Bruce Arians love that guy.

1118
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: Wherever he goes, people rave about him. He's their new

1119
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: play caller. It's probably a nice change for David Johnson

1120
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: and for Josh Rosen, who looked absolutely lost against the

1121
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: Broncos last Thursday night to killer pick six is and

1122
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: he's not getting protected. You're worried about Sam Donald in

1123
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: New York. At times, I get worried about where Josh

1124
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: Rosen the end of this season, that this continues. Byron

1125
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,959
Speaker 1: left which is never called plays before, this is gonna

1126
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: be It's it's an experiment. It's it's a desperate experiment, Yeah,

1127
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 1: for sure, because I don't know. I don't know, because

1128
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: it feels like Byron Leftwich was just playing in the

1129
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,399
Speaker 1: league and and now all of a sudden he's gonna

1130
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: be calling plays in the middle of the season, taking over.

1131
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: It feels like a big job for anybody, and you

1132
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: hope he he does well. But um, yeah, the idea

1133
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: that this is gonna now solve the Cardinals woes on offense,

1134
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: that feels like a reach. Well to see how it

1135
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 1: works out. These seems just played. This is too close

1136
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: to be playing against each other again three weeks ago.

1137
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: Give me a break if if you're if you're a

1138
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: forty Niners fan, you could not make a better schedule. Though,

1139
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: before you're buy, you probably play the three worst teams

1140
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,760
Speaker 1: in the league in a row except for themselves, except

1141
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: for the Bills and themselves, but the three great one

1142
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 1: win teams. I mean that says good in the next

1143
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 1: two will be at home. So if only they weren't

1144
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 1: on the five game losing stream, get healthy, way to go,

1145
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: get to three and Cardinals to not play poorly against

1146
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco last time they won. I mean that was

1147
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: their best game of the year. And I mean, which

1148
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: it's there's not many to pick from, but it's like,

1149
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, you can't, can't. Let's go on a

1150
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 1: limb a little bit to call that their best game.

1151
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: But I'll go with that. Well, I mean, what's better.

1152
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't want better? Well, they've only won one, even

1153
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: with c J. Bether that quarterback. I have more confidence

1154
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: in the forty Niners offense, but I have more confidence

1155
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 1: in the Cardinals defense. I don't really trust the forty

1156
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: Niners defense. Now it's terrible here the can you know

1157
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: they built that defensive line. Everyone got excited about all

1158
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: the house great and Armstead and they took solemn times

1159
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: and the forest buck is good. It's not not as

1160
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: far as teammates are lousy. But can if that's your

1161
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: the identity, can you do something that group? I mean

1162
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: they got their quarterback. Yeah, make a difference. Pick this game. Mark, Uh, well, okay,

1163
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: I will go forty Niners competently us. I'll go Cardinals

1164
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: at home at the farm because I just traded for

1165
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: David Johnson. He's gonna have a big breakout game. I

1166
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: got the Cardinals forts and I'm locking it up for real.

1167
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: It just seems like a fun bit. Yeah, just keep

1168
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: you gonna do it. They are a road tea. Yeah

1169
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: that's well, you're keeping up the streak. I like, you know,

1170
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: whenever you can lock up against trying to mix it

1171
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: up here. Let's move on and talk about the Green

1172
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. That guy on Twitter a t N lock ups.

1173
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: His head is spinning, right, He's just he's like rocking

1174
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: in the corner. He just like stops listening. When when

1175
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: all four of us have locked up and he stopped

1176
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: listening twenty five minutes ago, with Gregg's first of the

1177
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: Packers coming off there by. Uh have an underwhelming performance. Uh,

1178
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: definitely on the defensive side of the ball in their

1179
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: last game of Monday and football. But they got to

1180
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: win against those Niners. And now uh they better be

1181
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: scoring because they're heading to Los Angeles to face the Rams,

1182
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: the NFL's only undefeated team at this stage. Seven and

1183
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: oh uh speaking of desert people West, they don't like

1184
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: the Packers chances here? Do you? I have? I have

1185
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: a tingling feeling the antenna are up and what if

1186
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: my instincts are telling me to pick the Packers in

1187
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: this game? But I just lock it up. I don't

1188
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: have the onions to do it. I don't know why

1189
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: you can pick them? Nah, I can't. I can't. I

1190
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: like rolling with the lines two weeks in a row. Um,

1191
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: But I do think the Packers are better than they've

1192
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: shown so far, and they're getting healthy. They should get

1193
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb and Jim Allison back, and more importantly, Jayire Alexander,

1194
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: the rookie cornerback who was their best cornerback early in

1195
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: the season, should be back. Didn't their past defense against C. J.

1196
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: Beth and company spook you. Going against the Rams and

1197
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: all those great receivers, it absolutely spooked me. As I said,

1198
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: they all have their best cornerback back. They are are

1199
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: great research packet which Dan always has up here has

1200
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: as an interesting note on Jared Goff. It's the most

1201
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: effective play action quarterback in the league and terms of

1202
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: yards per tempt I believe, and going up against the

1203
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: last ranked UH secondary in terms of going up against

1204
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: play action, Jared Goff hasn't had to do much the

1205
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: last three weeks. Even what he has had to do, though,

1206
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: he hasn't been quite as spectacular and difference making as

1207
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: he was early in the season. So now all right

1208
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: here we got a real game here I was. I

1209
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: want to say that September Goff back in the mix

1210
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: against the past. Isn't everything play action for the Rams?

1211
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but they do

1212
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: very little just dropping back straight from center. They they

1213
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: do at of the time, which is more than ten

1214
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: percent more than any team in the league. So they

1215
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: do it far more than any other team. And we're

1216
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: not doing play action. They're doing a lot of like

1217
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: ghost jet sweeps, and a lot of trickery in the

1218
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: backfield before the snap. There was a game each week

1219
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: where I decided not to say a single thing of value,

1220
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: and that is this game that I'm choosing to do that.

1221
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: This is a great game, though it's not like it's

1222
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: not like there's not enough for anyone else to say.

1223
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Continue on a lot of errands in this game. Aaron Donald,

1224
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, Aaron Rodgers. I mean it is the battle

1225
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: of the two greatest cow quarterbacks of all time. And

1226
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: maybe there was another one that I have no idea,

1227
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: but oh there's god gonna guess. I mean, they're better

1228
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 1: than Kyle bol Is this connected mark than I doubt

1229
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: there's one from the seventies or eighties. Is this connected

1230
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: to your longstanding distaste of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers?

1231
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: One of the I don't have a distaste friend Rodgers.

1232
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: It is the the Packers fans that moan about their

1233
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: up and down luck when you've had like thirty years

1234
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 1: of the best quarterback play to watch ever, settled down

1235
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: with your complaints. I have gotten tweets before from Packers

1236
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: fans saying that they should be on the pain ranking.

1237
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Please they need to calm down please with that they're

1238
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: on the place? Are we having two different conversations right

1239
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Now's not how podcasts work. By the way, had Girley

1240
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: on pace for touchdowns on the ground pretty good. I

1241
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: want todown, don't you? Guys? Want the Rams to keep

1242
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: winning and stay undefeeded up until that chee until the

1243
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs game. Yes, I mean that's a couple of weeks.

1244
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: I get a little concerned that we sometimes feel like

1245
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: we operate as an extended pr limb for them. So

1246
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: I would like to see them be challenged on some level, right,

1247
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: So like the game will just be terrible if they're

1248
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: not undefeated going in. But just to be had it

1249
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: had a little fun element to what's already. And it's

1250
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: in Mexico City, right, Why aren't we going to Mexico City?

1251
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: By the way, it's kind of dangerous, I think to start,

1252
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: I've heard that I would I would love I would

1253
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: love to go. We should get it. We should get

1254
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 1: on that. Mexico City may be dangerous, but I mean

1255
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: I probably parts of it. Part would go all out

1256
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: to make sure we were fully protecting. I'm sure Henry

1257
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: doesn't like the comment that was just made. I'm sure

1258
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful from the record. The New Orleans Saints

1259
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: are five and one. Uh. Campost is going to Mexico City?

1260
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: How about that? What for what reason? What are you

1261
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: doing there? I'm I'm going for the game. Good for you,

1262
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: just like as a fan or uh are you working there?

1263
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm I maybe going to This sounds wait, this sounds

1264
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: suddenly very shady. What do you cannot describe what it

1265
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: is you're doing there? Um No, I'm just I'm you know,

1266
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm going with Damna Check and m j D to

1267
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: shoot it. Who's producing our podcast? That's that's why we're

1268
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: not going. No, I you want a little pull back

1269
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the curtain Erica. I knew about this trip that you're

1270
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: going on before you did. I know you got you.

1271
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: You gave me the okay because you wanted me to

1272
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: have this opportunity, and I really appreciate it. I did

1273
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: get a phone calling in a shadowy league figure, would

1274
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: you be okay with this? And I said, of course,

1275
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: we would love her that go to Mexico and never

1276
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: be seen again. All right here? We got the Saints

1277
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: five and one, uh, first place in the NFCY South

1278
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: travel to Minneapolis. Here's one of the best games of

1279
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: the season, potentially, boys a rematch of that famous divisional

1280
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: playoff game. Uh Stefon Diggs, one of the most memorable

1281
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: plays in the last thirty years in the NFL. I'm

1282
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: going out on a limb, but I don't care. Uh

1283
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Saints Vikings Greg Oh, Yeah, rematch of the Minneapolis Miracle.

1284
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: It is as good a matchup as you can have

1285
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: with two of the best quarterbacks in the league. But

1286
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: to me, the best quarterback right now is Drew Brees.

1287
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: He would be my pick for m v P. I mean,

1288
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: you're splitting hairs. You're splitting hairs between him and Patrick Holmes,

1289
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: but I would give him the ever so slight edge.

1290
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of a play last week. This is what

1291
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: m v PS do down seven. You're in Baltimore, late

1292
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: third quarter, it's third and long. They send an absolutely

1293
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: perfectly time blitz where a safety gets through free and

1294
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: gets all over Drew Brees. And you know what he does.

1295
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: He still completes a pass with a safety draped all

1296
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: over him. You pick up the first down, you go

1297
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: score a touchdown, You you score what's event teen points

1298
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter against the best defense in the

1299
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: league and you go win a game on the road.

1300
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:06,919
Speaker 1: That's that's what m v p S do. I saw

1301
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: something in that game I never saw before. Sean Payton

1302
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: went for I went for the fourth down on four

1303
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: different times on one drive to open the game, four

1304
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: different times. And it reminds me of um. Sam Weiss

1305
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: when I wrote the Ohio River Offense said, you know

1306
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,439
Speaker 1: that the no huddle gave him, You know, a few

1307
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: percentage points edge on everybody every week, and if you

1308
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who knows what he's doing, a veteran,

1309
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: that gives you another few more percentage points that you

1310
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: take into a game. And this is what the Saints

1311
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 1: are taking into a game every week. Sean Payton's aggressiveness

1312
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: and play calling and Drew Brees gives them, like, I

1313
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: don't know, eight percent chance already before the game even

1314
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: started to win. And then you look at a team

1315
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: like the Browns that has punted sixteen times in the

1316
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: opponent's territory this year. The next closest team is the

1317
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Texans with nine. I think coaching matters that much. Ouch

1318
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 1: Vikings have faced Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, and Sam Donald.

1319
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: This is not going to be the way it is

1320
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: this week. That's a totally different deal. I like. The

1321
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: one thing though, on the flip side for Kirk for

1322
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: Cousins is John D. Filippo. I think is becoming the

1323
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: next big head coaching candidate because you look what he

1324
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: did with the Eagles last year and Nick Foles in

1325
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and now I think he's getting the

1326
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: best possible version of Cousins as well. He might be

1327
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: interviewing with both of our favorite teams. By the way,

1328
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: just one that these articles start coming about who the

1329
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: names are and he's at the top of every one

1330
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: of them, and he's got a good track record at

1331
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: this point. This matchup got me thinking though about the

1332
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: guy who made that place, Stefon Diggs. Last two weeks,

1333
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: he's had thirty three yards each week. He got targeted

1334
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: fourteen times for thirty three yards. As great as the Cousins,

1335
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: the thel And connection can be, this team would be

1336
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: humming if you're getting them both the exam theal and

1337
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: going at the same time. And back to Drew Brees

1338
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: for a second, cause that is interesting. Greg' So I

1339
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: haven't heard anybody say that Patrick Mahomes isn't the m

1340
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: v P leader, And yeah, I think you make a

1341
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: lot of sense. In addition of the fact he hasn't

1342
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: thrown an interception yet. Uh, and he's averaging eight and

1343
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: a half yards per tempt Drew Brees and his team

1344
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: is five and one and leading the division. His completion percentage,

1345
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: which it's it's been always been great, and I think

1346
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: he holds the NFL record, and he said it a

1347
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: couple of times now it is although you up to

1348
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: seventy seven percent, it's just like that doesn't happen. That's

1349
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: that's an absurd number. Sev. He's also only been sacked

1350
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: nine times in six games, so he's not putting his

1351
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: offense and he's making more plays on his own like

1352
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: that one. I mean, granted a lot of those throws,

1353
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: of course, are short, easier throws, but he's making a

1354
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: lot of tough throws this year that stand out and

1355
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: your boy, and I'm not taking anything away from Tom

1356
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: Brady got all the love for being old and great,

1357
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: and I feel like Drew Brees doesn't get that love

1358
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: because Tom took it already. And people now since he

1359
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: set the bar or reset the bar, it's not that

1360
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: big a deal. But this guy is as good as

1361
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: ever and he's thirty. I like the Saints in this game.

1362
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: We should pick this game. Let's pick him. I'm taking

1363
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: the Saints. I'm taking the Saints. I don't feel confident

1364
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: about it, but I think they're the better team. You know,

1365
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: always helped the Saints. That your boy Da Mario O'Davis

1366
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: has been on both of your teams. He is having

1367
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: a great season for them. I almost locked the Saints.

1368
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: I had it on my piece of paper, but then

1369
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: I got a little freaked. But I'm picking them to

1370
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: win it that the opponent is too good to lock against,

1371
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: I think. But I like the way the Vikings are playing.

1372
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: I love him at home squeaker. Finally, Monday Night Football.

1373
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: You know, I asked for it and I got it.

1374
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: I said, if you're gonna have the Patriots in prime time,

1375
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: put them on the road, because then you can watch

1376
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: a fun game. All right? So who they got? Who

1377
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: they got? Oh? The Bill? Thank you? The worst team

1378
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 1: in football? Yeah it's uh. Tom Brady has sixteen touchdown

1379
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: this season. The Bills have three. It's not your fault, Greg,

1380
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: but against me so mad? Oh? Yeah? I mean you

1381
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: know they've just got it made. Playing the undefeated Chiefs

1382
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 1: in prime time. What an easy matchup. Give him some

1383
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: credit for a great victory. Well, we talked on the

1384
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: on the Twitter show. I mean, come on that you're

1385
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: not gonna feel bad, just like the home games. Is

1386
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: upset that they're like, we have to get them. We're

1387
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 1: gonna give them three primetime games in four weeks and

1388
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: we wanted to be at home for two of them.

1389
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: Let's put them on the road just once. Do it

1390
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: with Buffalo. Well, here's the things haven't had a home

1391
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 1: Monday night football game in a decade that they're trying

1392
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: to do something nice for the Bills. But you know,

1393
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Bills ratings poison, So who do we gotta put them

1394
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: with America's team? That's we talked about. We talked about

1395
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: flexing these games on Monday Night. And this is the

1396
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 1: exhibit A. This is exhibit A because this is not

1397
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,759
Speaker 1: this is not great for a Bills fan on national TV.

1398
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: If this goes the way you think to ten or something,

1399
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: that's not what you want everyone watching. You want the

1400
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: team hid in a way on one playoff team last year,

1401
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: which I get that they gotta put them out there

1402
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: in Week two or three to make sure you know

1403
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: the wheels haven't fallen up you just you know what

1404
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: they should do you ask me and should do for

1405
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 1: this game. In the bottom right hand corner where they

1406
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: usually have the NFL logo or the ESPN logo, just

1407
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 1: have the hashtag operation pink Pony the entire game. Thank you,

1408
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: right now, thank you. This is why you don't hire

1409
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: a defensive minded head coach, or why it probably doesn't

1410
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: help because I don't think you can happen as much

1411
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: as you can do a decent job on your defense,

1412
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: and like you better have a plan on your offense

1413
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: or else it don't matter what your defense. I've got

1414
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: a fantasy tip for people in deep, deep leagues. Let's

1415
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: check this weekend to see if the Patriots activate Kenneth

1416
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: Farrow from their practice squad. Sony Michelle is not practicing,

1417
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 1: they don't have an inside runner, and Kenneth Farrow won

1418
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: their practice player of the week last week on the

1419
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: scout team. So you get a good part, you get

1420
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: a special parking lot if he gets elevated and you're

1421
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: in a deep league, maybe maybe where are you nicking

1422
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: up Derek Anderson like in a super deep league? Leagues

1423
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 1: aren't deep enough. We never updated. Sony Michelle is not

1424
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: out for the season. It sounds like he will be

1425
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: able to come back, and that's a huge It's a

1426
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: huge part of their offense. It's running back. I mean

1427
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: they've lost like half of them as they're deep passing.

1428
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon has made a big change last couple weeks.

1429
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: He has sixteen targets in the last two games. I

1430
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: would sit Gronk again this week, by the way, but

1431
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: I think he's practicing. Yeah, it sounds like he'll be

1432
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: back once every five weeks. I have to just mention

1433
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers. It's like the best defensive player with Patriots

1434
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: once every five weeks. So we'll check back in. I'm

1435
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: just saying he doesn't get much love. He's great. Ah,

1436
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: that's it. Check back in with us on Sunday night. Oh,

1437
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: we gotta pick that game. Society is deemed that we

1438
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: must pick this game. That's okay, out on a limb here.

1439
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: I got the Bills. I got the Bills thirty to ten. Wow,

1440
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: that's surprising. I'm gonna go with the Patriots forty one

1441
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 1: to seventeen. Okay, Patriots, Uh, twenty three Patriots twenty seven nothing.

1442
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna go Patriots. I mean Bills

1443
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: forty to ten. That would be a tough That would

1444
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: be one of the worst moments of the Belichick era.

1445
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: That's for sure. That's it. Okay, all right, We'll be
