00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast would make the sun go

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: blind if it looked at them directly. Welcome back to

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: is Dan Hansis, and I'm joined by a room filled

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: with heroes, Mark Sessler, Colleen Wilf and Greg I wasn't

00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: all what's up people? Hey, hey, hey, disagree with the

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: drop sons. Still more powerful than the four of us,

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: despite what some of us would like to think, not

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: more powerful than Head and Shoulders are are sponsors. It

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: won't make you go blind head and shoulders if you

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: look at it, but it'll make your hair shines so

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: bright that maybe if you look at it could blind.

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: Nicely played, nicely played. Actually that's it. That's Big three

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: and a half, you know how like chance the rapper

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: wears the hat that says three Connie three and a half. Um.

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: This is the Tuesday edition of the Around the NFL Podcast,

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: and we have such a busy show that we cannot

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: I can't screw around. We got a lot to get

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: to because let's go through it. I mean, we have

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: the Monday night football recap. Nice game, Nice Monday night game.

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: Things are Things are looking good in the NFL after

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: a shaky first couple of weeks that made me worry

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: able the future of the league. Another nice primetime effort

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: by two football teams that played professionally. Uh feels like

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: some ad copy you're reading right there. We will for

26
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: the first time this season. We're gonna bring back the

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: A T N Power Poll. We are. By the way,

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: it's not the quarter pole, as somebody snootily commented on Twitter,

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: not to me, but I just saw it in my

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: tweet deck. In horse racing, the quarter pole is when

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: there's quarter of the race left, which would be what

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: we would then think was the third three quarter. Yes,

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: so the one fourth of the regular regular season schedules. Uh,

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: complete for a lot of teams, maybe it's there. Yeah, whatever,

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: everybody come down at everybody come down. And then finally,

36
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: and Greg, I know you're excited. Oh it's coming back baby.

37
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: The Subreddit Super Contest Week three. Yeah. Oh yeah, let's see. Uh,

38
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: let's see what our listeners can blow this time. I mean,

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: how much easier can the questions get? Massive disrespect? Yeah, listeners,

40
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: we appreciate you, Greg, doesn't we do? Uh? And that's

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: why I just want to give it. I just want

42
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: to give them the prize and then they don't need

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: to jump through all these hoops. Uh. So that's uh,

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: that's what's going on today. So why don't we get

45
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: right to work and start with a little Monday night football?

46
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: High snap, pulled down, busters, kick us out and us

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: right down the boulevard. It's good change take out twenty

48
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: three d with four seconds left in regulation and Harrison

49
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: Bucker kicks you know what? Oh put it on the list.

50
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Louis Cannon? Who is that? By the way, did anybody

51
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: know is that Mitch Holtis whoever it is, he's great,

52
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: does a great job. Who is that? Erica Mitch with

53
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: the and uh yes, Harrison great first name by the way.

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: But but Kerr had a forty three yard field goal

55
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: eight seconds to play. It was his first game at

56
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: three signed signed out the practice. God, what a what

57
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: a way to debut on Monday night in Kansas City

58
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: and the loudest, loudest building in the league building. I

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: don't know what you guys figure it out anyway. Uh.

60
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: It gave the Chiefs a twenty three to twenty lead. Uh.

61
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: They then got a last play the game touchdown on

62
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: some Shenanigan so to twenty final over the Washington Redskins.

63
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: The Chiefs uh moved to four and oh the season,

64
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: uh the only undefeated team in the NFL through the

65
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: quarter pole. We called the quarter pole. Deal of it,

66
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, The first quarter could work. Come back to

67
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: the horse track with your cigar in your newspaper. You're

68
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: racing form a very very slow start for the cheese

69
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: or down ten nothing at the end of the first quarter,

70
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: but they got their way back into it and then

71
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: closed out in the fourth quarter. They dominated the final

72
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: three quarters of this game. Yes, they were a Josh

73
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: Docks and drop or or just couldn't come up with

74
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: the catch in the end zone away from possibly losing

75
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: this game, but they looked like the better team. They

76
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: held the ball the whole time. And Kareem Hunt is

77
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: kind of the closer like this team. Yes, they've been

78
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: close every week, it's not like it's a dominant four

79
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: and oh with ten minutes left. In all all four

80
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: of their games, it's a one score game either up

81
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: or down there close, but they find a way of

82
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: kind of wearying on opponents. And Kareem Hunt in the

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: offense and this time Alex Smith making a big play

84
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, seems to save their best for

85
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: last and tire out the opposition. I really thought it

86
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: was the next level. It had Aaron Rodgeri type feel.

87
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: Pre snapped with Alex Smith. I would rarely say that

88
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: he's a very smart quarterback, but drawing Preston Smith off

89
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: sides over and over, constantly pulling penalties for free plays.

90
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: It was the Chiefs don't have that overt weakness that

91
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: you can point to and attack. They're just a very

92
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: solid team. When it comes to Dotson though, that drop

93
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: because we waited so long for him to have that game.

94
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: It's like, had he caught that, the entire league would

95
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: be talking about Josh Johnson and the uprise they'd have

96
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: and and Terrell Prior had a good game finally instead Cousins,

97
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the quarterback that impressed me the

98
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: most in this game. Um And I know he's again

99
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: playing for a long term deal and he's gonna get

100
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: that money because I know, um a lot of people

101
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: maybe aren't aren't sold him on him still, but I

102
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: think he made so many big throws and that is

103
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: a tough environment. Um let the team in rush going

104
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: to say after the Chiefs scored a touchdown I believe,

105
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: to either go ahead or tie the game. In the

106
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: second half, Cousins went right down the field and scored,

107
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: had the big hiccup hook up with Vernon Davis, and

108
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: then threw a nice touchdown pass. He put that pass

109
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: to Dotson right on the money. I mean, you gotta

110
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: make that catch. It wasn't like a blooper drop, but

111
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: it's exactly a tot. In a game like that, where

112
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: the stakes are high, you cannot ask for a better

113
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: pass from your quarterback. So he made the past. His

114
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: team just didn't cooperate with him. I was very impressed

115
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: with Cousins in this game. Yeah, I thought that they

116
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: needed to control the clock a little bit better. In

117
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: this game. The Redskins, they their drives were so short,

118
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: and they just I think put too much pressure on

119
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: their defense. And the defense had way too many penalties too,

120
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: so that really hurt them. But in terms of Kansas City,

121
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: I thought Alex Smith was really locked in the way

122
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: that he was grabbing yards and and running for it.

123
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: And Travis Kelsey had such a great night. I can't

124
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: really get past his dance and the end zone. The

125
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: I just was surprised by it. I don't. I don't

126
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: think I can move like that. I watched this game

127
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: at Paramore Manner, and the paramore and Chris Westling and

128
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: especially the paramore's mom were were very impressed with the

129
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: dancing ability at Kelsey moved this woud women all over

130
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: the country. Because I got a text from a friend

131
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: of mine who I went to and it's also very

132
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: impressieds getting text from female college d's chiefs fan. Yes,

133
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: her husband's chiefs fan, and she she loved that movement

134
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: on old Travis and Travis Kelsey dance. Yes, is he

135
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: going trying too hard to let everyone know that the

136
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: white boy can dance? Yes? Travis Kelsey beyond anything else. Uh.

137
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: And I tweeted about this last night, all his shenanigans

138
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: on the field. He is like the prototypical um popular

139
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: jock from your high school that was to everybody, uh

140
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: and was mean and was rule and picked on kids

141
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: and didn't treat the women well in his grade, nobody projected,

142
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: nobody really liked him. Nobody really liked him. But because

143
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: he had great hair and he could dance at the

144
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Spring for now, you're really projected. And he Travis Kelsey

145
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: let me finish my point, and he could catch a

146
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: football and make plays. He was just popular by default.

147
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: No one actually likes Travis Kelsey, but he's very popular.

148
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: I thought Gruden, I mean, went out of his way

149
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: to put him in his place last night in a

150
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: way that Gruden would, whether you agree with it or not.

151
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: For all the penalties, yeah, he was a little bit

152
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: we got your week and like taunting the opponents and

153
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: running up and down the field. It's just like enough

154
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: with this guy. I will say one thing, I just

155
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: don't like him. I hear you. I stually won by

156
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: this game because I like, the last time the team

157
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: that I actually love was good was like the eighties

158
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: and nineties. So I'm one of these people that like

159
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: will nerd out on a couple of beers, like on

160
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: a day off and watch like some game that's on

161
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: YouTube because they have all these full games. It's not

162
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: a humble, bragg waste of time. There's much better things

163
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: I could be doing my time. This had an old

164
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: school feel to it. It's one of the few games

165
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: this season that didn't feel like modernized arcade football. Had

166
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: an old school defensive field to it, and I enjoyed

167
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: it as watches any game all year. One of the

168
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: most fascinating dramas was what was left unsaid between John

169
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: Gruden and the booth coaching his brother against the coach

170
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: that really gave him a career in Andy Reid. And

171
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: we should point it out because John Gruden didn't Jay

172
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: Gruden cost them this game. This game goes to overtime.

173
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: If Jay Gruden just listens to John Gruden, John Gruden says,

174
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: very smart, you know by the Redskins not taking a

175
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: time out here, you don't want to give Alex Smith

176
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: any time to play. That was with about I think

177
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: fifty six seconds left. There was a little before that.

178
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: Seconds later, Jay Gruden takes the time out. That gives

179
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs more time to run that offense. There was

180
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: no reason for the Chiefs to have time there. Washington

181
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: could have set it up in such a way because

182
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City wasn't taken that time out in a in

183
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: a way that they would have not had time to

184
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: go down the field. And right after John Gruden says, like,

185
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: very good, not taking a time out, crickets, that's awkward.

186
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: Didn't hear a word. Didn't hear a word about its broadcast.

187
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: I understand that, but it was still bad clock management

188
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: by Jay Gruden and and it cost him. We see

189
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: this with coaches, like they're great at a lot of things,

190
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: but clock management often not one of them. I'm shocked

191
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't Andy Reid in that position right there. A

192
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: couple of straight weeks, it's actually been the opposition, whether

193
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: it's Anthony Lynn or some other coaches, the Chiefs have

194
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: Gonegan's making Doug Peterson uh not making the best choices.

195
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: How worried should Washington be about Chris Thompson? What about him?

196
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: I don't know with any word at all. I don't

197
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: know that ball security just being not He's been like one.

198
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I would say he's been the most valuable player run

199
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: offense up until last night. He's a role player. It's

200
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: interesting that in a night like Monday night, when they

201
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: lose Rob Kelly to an injury, they just refused to

202
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: kind of turn it over to Thompson, like he is

203
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: really there, James White, third down back guy at a

204
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: point where some J P. Ryan, that's who they should be,

205
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: where he's really struggled, but they just won't let Thompson

206
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: kind of be the guy he's a good role. They've

207
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: talked about Thompson because of his set. They don't want

208
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: to overuse him and I but he is he is.

209
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: They've done a lot on that team with the guys

210
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: you think would have been massive producers up until Terrell

211
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: Prior last night having a nice touchdown catch the Terrell

212
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: Priors the Reds, these guys have not been the core

213
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: of their offense. A little bit of a push off

214
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: on that Terrell prior to down too, but a little bit.

215
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: All right, that's the Monday night football recap. How about

216
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs for it now? Yes they are. They'll come up.

217
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna do the little power poll later and I

218
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: think I think they'll probably be in the top half

219
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: of the Power Bowl. I'm not. I don't want to

220
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: otherwise that city will re vault and bury us. And

221
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with our quarter pole power poll. Let's

222
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: do some news. But Kicker dot com did a nice job,

223
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: all right. The Bears have done it. They made the decision.

224
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: Strabiskie is their new starting quarterback. The Bears handed the

225
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: reins to their number two overall pick uh this week

226
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: starting with Week five Monday Night game. Nice nice job.

227
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: For a nice situation there for ESPN. John Fox made

228
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: it official. Uh, he said it was a decision that

229
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: quote needed to be made. Um, so it is. It

230
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: is over very quickly from Mike Lennon went one in

231
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: three and four starts to open the city, open the season,

232
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: Colleen Glenn and just didn't show much. Do you think

233
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: it was the right move to do it? Now? Yeah?

234
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I think that John Fox

235
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: couldn't didn't really have a choice. He had to do it.

236
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: Mike Lennon looks awful, especially in that Thursday night game.

237
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: Look at the way he opened the game with the

238
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: fumble right off the top of the game and then

239
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: he had a snap that went right off his knee. There.

240
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: There was just so many things that happened in the

241
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: game against him, and he's not inspiring. When you watch it,

242
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: you just don't think, oh, yeah, they can do something

243
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: here on offense. This is a team that, yeah, when

244
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: you look, they don't really have wide receivers, but they

245
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: have a running game and they have a good offensive line.

246
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: So why not put Mitch Drabinsky in there because he

247
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: had a really good preseason. I'd say of any of

248
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterbacks. He's the one that you would have

249
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: said if there weren't other you know, sort of contract

250
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: issues and politics behind the scenes going on. Rabinsky is

251
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: the one who would have earned the Week one start

252
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: over someone over to Shaun Watson at that point. Things

253
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: have changed with Deshaun Watson, but I mean Trabinsky, he's

254
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: like he extends the play. I think he makes the

255
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: Bears offense more palatable to watch, more more mobile. So

256
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: it's I wanted this to happen much sooner. It's happening

257
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: soon enough. Fox. Yeah, I would think regrets starting. Glennon

258
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: maybe regrets the wrong word. I don't know if he

259
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: thinks that way. But they're one in three. This is

260
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: he's coached I think for sixteen straight years in the NFL.

261
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get a seventeenth unless Robinsky saves him.

262
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: And Glennon wasn't gonna be that guy. Now. Glennen played

263
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: pretty well in Week one, even that like week last week,

264
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: Like you had a time when Tony Roe was saying

265
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: during that game, Mike Lennon's played as well as Aaron

266
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers in this game. You know that it's a blindside

267
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: sack on the first play, It's like a ball bouncing

268
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: office knee. He did not play well. The problem is

269
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: he's a veteran quarterback that was turning the ball over.

270
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: He had three I think he had three picks or

271
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: five picks and three fumbles. And Trabinsky looks so good

272
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: in the preseason. But I think one thing we've seen

273
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: with Watson is that preseason football doesn't have much to

274
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: do with regular season football. And that cuts both ways.

275
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: So now you're getting you get the game plan on

276
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: both sides. That's really helped the guy like Deshaun Watson

277
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: having O'Brien cook up a scheme just for him for

278
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: a week. We'll see if the Bears can do that

279
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: with Rabinsky. He doesn't. He doesn't have anyone to throw to. Really.

280
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Kendall writes his top wide receiver and yeah,

281
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: a reminder is the way sports are like, just like

282
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and Josh Johnson would be heroes today if

283
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: they could connect on that play. You know, Jordan Howard

284
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: makes that catching Week one against the Falcons UH and

285
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: the Bears upset Atlanta UH in their opener. Maybe he

286
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: has a little bit more rope to play with but

287
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: that's just not how it worked out. And but you

288
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: can't really this was coming at some point and maybe

289
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: they don't even bought him an extra week, and then

290
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: maybe he does something. Now you give him, you have

291
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: an if it matters or not. The fact that it

292
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: was a Thursday night game up until what a Monday

293
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: night game you get an extra It's it's a good

294
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: the right transition. It's a good for America too. I mean,

295
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: we gotta watch this Bears team, and Traviski is fun.

296
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: America doesn't have to watch Bears Monday night football. He

297
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: was fun to watch. So if nothing, even if he's

298
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: not perfect, that's why it's good news for ESPN because

299
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of America may have chosen not

300
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: like Glennon and now that now there's a lot more

301
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: to be compelled about about the game. Moving on, Derek Carr,

302
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna miss some time. Bad news, very bad news

303
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: for the Oakland Raiders. Um Jack del Rio told reporters

304
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: Monday that his star passer is dealing with a transverse

305
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: process fracture in his back. Uh del Rio said there's

306
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: a real good chance he'll miss this week and he

307
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: could be Um uh. He said this single Colors time

308
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: on the shelf could be as short as two weeks,

309
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: so they they are optimistic that it won't be a

310
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: long absence, which is good. But if that, if the

311
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: injury is familiar at all, Mark uh two listeners out there,

312
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: it is the same injury that shelve Tony Romo last

313
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: preseason and then opened the door for Dak Prescott. And

314
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: it was ironic or a coincidence that Tony Romo was

315
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: calling that game on Sunday. There you go. I mean

316
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: my my concern. I won't delve into that. I feel

317
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: like anything, I feel like nothing is ironic anymore. Every

318
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: time anyone points out anything, there's irony if it's like, no,

319
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: it's not, and here's the three reasons why it isn't.

320
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: So I'm not going down that road, but I will

321
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: say this that everyone, I think that's ironic that that

322
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Tony was in the booth for that. Yeah, I mean

323
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: it's intriguing. Yeah, I guess it's an interesting wrinkle. But

324
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: back injuries are so dicey. I just don't. I just

325
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: it is an interesting for sure. Well great, I mean

326
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: for the coach to say, oh, we think they don't

327
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: know that. I don't. I don't think it's going to

328
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: be too weeks, that's for sure, your questioning, Derek Carr.

329
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be back. This is a man

330
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: that's strong of character. He's gonna be a fast tailor.

331
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: He's a leader, and uh is a God fearing man

332
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: and God will look out for him. But we have

333
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: history of this though Tony Ruma only missed one game

334
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: with this injury in two thousand fourteen. Cam Newton only

335
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: missed one game with this injury. But everything everyone, you know,

336
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying young, he's young, and he's it's not

337
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: it's not Tony Roman who. I'll say this. My concern

338
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: is that the you know here, we get an E. J.

339
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: Manual who with Buffalo was a turnover machine. Looked okay

340
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And my concern is that this Bill, this

341
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: this Raider's offense has not been productive, has not been

342
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: very watchable with car in the lineup. Now, yeah, the

343
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: last two weeks they got to play the Ravens defensively,

344
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: who we talked up all off season. It's not looking

345
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: as strong as I thought it was going to be.

346
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: And they can't run the ball either. So if you

347
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: don't have Derek Carr out there, Michael Crabtree was banged up.

348
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: This offense worries me. I would say if they if it.

349
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: If he does not come back after the Ravens gave

350
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: you have the Chargers and the Chiefs back to back

351
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: divisional matchups, then the Bills and the Dolphins. So I

352
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: don't I'm not sure we'll see him in two weeks.

353
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: We'll see. In other quarterback injury news, Andrew Luck of

354
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: the Colts will return to practice this week, according to

355
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: CBS Indianapolis. Um have we gotten it from our own

356
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: people as well? Alright, but CBS Indianapolis Indianapolis is reporting

357
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: that Luck will be back on the practice field, which is,

358
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: um obviously a big, big step for him. Um, and uh,

359
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: it's a situation where he's already missed four weeks. You

360
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: would think maybe in the best case scenario, maybe you

361
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: get to see him in week six. We don't know,

362
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: but this is a big step, it is, and and

363
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: my fault our our place didn't need to confirm it

364
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: because Chris Ballard did release a statement saying that's what

365
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: he said. Uh, that Andrew Luck willed back at practice

366
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: this week. So this is official. And after talking about

367
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: this story and Lessie and let's say we called it

368
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: out in April, like, hey, this is gonna be a story.

369
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on that. Maybe he's not gonna be back.

370
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: Just don't assume with this type of injury that he's

371
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: going to be ready for the start of training camp.

372
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: Forget the start of training camp. We're hopeful maybe week

373
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: six he's back on the field. Maybe week seven. You

374
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: look at their schedule, it's like you gotta win one

375
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: more maybe with Brissette to keep them in the midd

376
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: wasn't there, Yeah, slice me off a piece of that,

377
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: Jake Briste, after you're done slicing off a piece of that.

378
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't there a sandwich that involved with Andrew Luck and

379
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: someone else that that connox? Oh, it was Mike Glennan

380
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: and Andrew Luck. You said you propped out that Mike

381
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: Lennard would have more starts the season than we have

382
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,239
Speaker 1: fewer starts, fewer starts Andrew Luck. And that's probably not

383
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen. We don't know yet. I don't know what's

384
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's there, I wouldn't celebrate yet, like you

385
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: can't assume that Andrew luck is gonna I'm not that

386
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: invested in and I got a lot of stuff going on.

387
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: I just I still don't really know if I would

388
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: get a sandwich out of it or not. How do

389
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: I how do I get a sandwich out of this?

390
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: You get a sandwich of Glennon ends up starting more

391
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: games than Andrew luck If you read the tea leaves,

392
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: it is not looking good. But you never know what

393
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: could happen in a football season. Mitch Drobiskie could bomb

394
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: or get hurt, and then Glennon could still beat can

395
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: still beat him out for either side. Luck whiskey who

396
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: knows the rules, remain so hyper murky for you on

397
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: that thing. That is my favorite part of it. I

398
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know why. We're just guiding her

399
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: through it gently. Uh. We love our Countie Fox, and

400
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: you deserve sandwiches that just for you know, joining us

401
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: each week as a thanks we should get Are we

402
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: going to ring the bell on that too? What is

403
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: going up with Greg today? Um? And finally in the news,

404
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: so Andrew luck On is on the mend and that's

405
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: great news for the Colts and Jake Briscott, Yes, has

406
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: done a great job keeping them in contention. Last bit

407
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: of news people before we move on, our friend, our

408
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: good friend, friend of the show. It's never been on

409
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: the show. UM doesn't know who we are, but he's

410
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: our friend. Jared's bird has a job ruse fired use

411
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: bired Carolina Panthers have found a short term replacement for

412
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: injured safety Kirk Coleman. It is Jirouse Bird, who was

413
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: once a star for the Buffalo Bills, signed a big

414
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: contract with the Saints and belly flopped out of the league.

415
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: Uh and now is getting a chance to, uh, you know,

416
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: get his career back for now anyway you're happy? Are

417
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: you happy for him? Just for the care and of

418
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: the drop. I'm rooting for him. That's a that's a

419
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: good place to for everybody recovery, but especially if there's

420
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: a d you need to make a drop for Travis Kelsey.

421
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: I mean it was one of the more regrettable. UM,

422
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: Greg's attempting to finish his point. Now you're more entertaining

423
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: any more regrettable decisions Chris Wesley than I ever made.

424
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: And I'll put the blame on myself that he was

425
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: our number one free agent of the two thousand and

426
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: fourteen class in the entire NFL. I mean, you're not

427
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: You guys weren't alone. I don't think I think he

428
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: was a hot commodity. Of the rest of the list

429
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: doesn't look too great either, Eugene Monroe, Michael Johnson. I

430
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: guess yeah. It's another reminder and let let the Jared's

431
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: bird be the patron saint. Don't think that you're gonna

432
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: build a champion in free agency, necessarily use the draft

433
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: or just don't look at our list because Michael Bennett

434
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: I keep to leave and Brent Grimes are down there, nine, ten,

435
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: and twelve and those are some Benett's much higher on

436
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: my list, which was unpublished. So welcome back, Ji Rouse. Uh,

437
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: let's move on. Okay, it is time get excited. UH,

438
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: it is time to talk. Shoulders of Greatness presented by

439
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: Head and Shoulders the Thursday Night Football Preview, and we

440
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: got a great one. This is a legitimately great, intriguing UH.

441
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it, fascinating TNF matchup between the New

442
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: England Patriots, UM, the league's best offense are close to

443
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: it and and the worst defense statistically UH and the

444
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Bucks who just barely beat the

445
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: Giants there two and one. Uh, there's been marked, there's

446
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: been some leaks with the Bucks so far in the

447
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: old Bucks ship. Uh. But here comes the Patriots in

448
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: imagery and again the Patriots in a place that they've

449
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: been in before early seasons in the last ten ten

450
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: years or so, where a lot of people are doubting them.

451
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: This feels like to me one of those games where

452
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots make one of their Patriots statements and destroy

453
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: the opponent. But this is also a very strange start

454
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: for New England on defense. You know, we're about to

455
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: talk our power poll, and we typically you just rubber

456
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: stamp New England number one and then you create the

457
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: intrigue from there on out. And I think we're gonna

458
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: find out that's not necessarily the case this year because

459
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: the problems that we've had, and we've talked about it

460
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: all season, it starts with the defense. It's not just

461
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: that it's statistically the worst defense in the league. It

462
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: just looks somewhat unfixable right now. And the thing that

463
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: concerns me for New England is that if Doug Martin

464
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: for Tampa Bay, he's back, he's eligible to play, and

465
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: that's what's been missing for me with Tampa Bay was

466
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: a ground game that can really create balance for that

467
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 1: and make the passing game that much more unpredictable. If

468
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: Doug Martin looks like the Doug Martin from the preseason

469
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: New England, this will be an interesting game and it

470
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: will go till the end. I could. I could totally

471
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: see this happening. I think that if they do send

472
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Doug Martin out there and he does play a lot

473
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: in this game, because they said that they don't really

474
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: know what he looks great in the preseason, I think

475
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: that that will be good for DeShawn Jackson, who we

476
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen a whole lot from. He's frustrated right now.

477
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: He was targeted six times UH this week and he

478
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: only caught two passes for twenty receiving yards. You know

479
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: that that's not gonna sit well with him, and he's

480
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: gonna start off He's just missed a few big plays

481
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: that would make it look different. Has happened. This would

482
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: make sense that he would break out against this defense.

483
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: But it's funny. It makes me think of the hard

484
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Knock scene. It was one of my favorite scenes. Of

485
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: the the last season where d Jacks approached Jamis Winston

486
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: on the sideline during a preseason game. It was like

487
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: something like, I want you to love me and want

488
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: you to love me the way you love uh, your

489
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: boy Mike and and and Winston had a comment along line, so, oh,

490
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: I already do love you. But you know, Mike made

491
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: gave me reasons to love him. And there was like

492
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: a nice interesting dynamic between a veteran pass catcher and

493
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: kind of a volatile personality at times earlier in his career,

494
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: young guy. Uh. And you wonder what's going on behind

495
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: the scenes as we're getting deeper into the season and

496
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: d Jacks is not made. He looked a little frustrated

497
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: during that James game, absolutely because they've they've thrown about

498
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: twenty times. Then he has nine catches and Cameron breaits

499
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: a little more consistent. Adam Humphreys has more catches right now.

500
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: But I want to see if this secondary of the

501
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: Patriots that I was all excited about. People who are

502
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: all excited about this secondary. All right, let's upgrade with

503
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan. Let's put in Stefan Gilmore. We still got

504
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler. He's not really playing that well right now.

505
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: We've still got Devin mccordy, who is the leader I

506
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: would say of that defense, is back there. I think

507
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: he's played just fine, but you have Patrick Chung. Like

508
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: this team, it's communication. They put a lot on their

509
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: players in terms of the way they change their scheme

510
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: on a week to week basis. Let's game plan this way,

511
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: you guys talk, We're gonna change up the schemes based

512
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: on what the offense is doing. It's that way both sides.

513
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: And when that's not working, then you see what happened

514
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: last week against the Panthers where there's just guys opened

515
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: by twenty five yards, and especially Eric Rowe, who might

516
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: not be healthy to play in this game in Gilmore,

517
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: really seemed to be struggling with that. And this is

518
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: not the offense you want to you want to go against,

519
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: because I know they haven't been perfect this year, but

520
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: they looked better last week against the Giants overall, and

521
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: it's a lot of way. In one specific way you

522
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: mentioned Cameron Braid, they also got O. J. Howard totally open,

523
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: and that Giants defense. The Alliants have issues, but their

524
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: secondary and their ability to cover pass catchers has been

525
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: solid this season, and Bred and Howard torched them utterly

526
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: decimated New York early. This is gonna sound like a

527
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: reverse Jinx, but it I'll reiterate. I think the Patriots

528
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: are gonna blow up on the Bucks in this game,

529
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: because I still think the Patriots are gonna be right

530
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: there at the end of the season and they're gonna

531
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: start figuring things out. A note a short week, which

532
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: is not going to make it any the road, especially

533
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: the road against Ma Patricia and company. I understand all that,

534
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: but I know this team and this coaches quarterback too

535
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: well to doubt them and think that they're gonna It's

536
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: gonna be like the Chiefs game two years ago in

537
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: prime time. I think they're gonna wax the Bucks, who

538
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: I think have more problems with that sounds like it up?

539
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: Lock up? Are you guys? Lock up the Patriots? I

540
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: don't even know if their favorite. If you guys all

541
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: signed off on it, I'll do it. I'd sign off

542
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 1: if you all right, well, I'll lock up the greatest

543
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: team of all time. Thanks all right, I'm up to

544
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: three and two and right into our trap. No. Once again,

545
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: a no lose situation here for the old user, Yeah

546
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: you came into my spider web. Don't say yeah. That

547
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: was a any bit of psychological warfare that started against

548
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: New England and may have turned on us. With the

549
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Bucks get Con Alexander back, he announced it on Instagram.

550
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if they get Lavante David back, but

551
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: I am interested to see how the Patriots hold up

552
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: up front. I've said it here, but Tom Brady I

553
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: think is playing as well or better this year than

554
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: he did a year ago. He he had to me

555
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: the m v P or the best player in the

556
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: league so far. But I don't think it can and

557
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: it can hold up in Gerald McCoy is playing pretty well,

558
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: like they need to do a better job around him.

559
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: Detecting your friends. Susie Grimes is gonna be licking her

560
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: wounds after Thursday. What's her name again, it's not us Grimes.

561
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: Potentially a relative of of Miko Grimes, but not well,

562
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: she's like a big Bucks. Then maybe she'll be upset

563
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: to Grimes, Marge Grimes, Carlita Grymes, Grimes, there's so many

564
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: Grimes sisters. Well, they wouldn't actually, they wouldn't necessarily have

565
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: this last same last name as their sister Mary twig Grimes. Remember,

566
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: but now you're making great points. All right, let's move on.

567
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: That is shoulders of greatness um presented by head and shoulders.

568
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. It is time to uh,

569
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: let's take a step back, guys. Let's let's check out

570
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: the north Star. Let's look above the tree tops. Let's

571
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: drain the water from the ocean and open the kimona,

572
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: open the kimono, show off our junk, and talk about

573
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: the NFL through four weeks. It's time for the power poll.

574
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: Screw you Twitter, the Quarner pole, power pole. You can't

575
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: hold us down. Alright, So Greg, quarter mark power. I mean,

576
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: just hearing the word poll twice so so quickly in succession.

577
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't really like too much for you. Two different

578
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: spellings though, so it's kind of like cute too in

579
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: a way. It's a little bit of a weird Simmas anyway, Greg,

580
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: do you want to you not only handle the math

581
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: on this, which I think was a smart swift um

582
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: you also, Yeah, I felt like that was you know,

583
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of stereo types went into that, like, oh,

584
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: let's have the Jewish guy do the numbers. But okay,

585
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: let's that's in your own head. We look, you asked

586
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: to do it. Actually, so that's the thing that's with

587
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: the self clothing, bro, that's the Jewish thing too, all right.

588
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: So you but you were carrying the let's use more

589
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: d You carried this one over the goal line before

590
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: the show, Greg tabulating and whatnot. So let's go through

591
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: the league. Uh, we'll try not to make this too painful.

592
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: It's good. Yeah, we we just came up with our

593
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: poll and we averaged it out and and there we go.

594
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Was it the mean or the average? It's the average? Okay,

595
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: what's the mean again? The mean would be what the

596
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: high and the low? And then you you cut it

597
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: right down the middle. I believe, Yeah, that's the meanings

598
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: helped me on if I'm wrong there. The average, the

599
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: median is the medians what I'm thinking, and I think

600
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't. By the way, the thing is Dan constantly

601
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: How did is this terrible math person awful at math,

602
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: constantly getting fifties and sixties on quizzes and then having

603
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: to hide them for just signature? Are you trying to

604
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: Are you trying to come from my math corner? I'm not.

605
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't even it's it's it's it's ridiculous. I cast

606
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: your corner with the browns and and you sent me away.

607
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: Well you tried, I'm gonna send you away from this corner.

608
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: And it's saying I kind of I if you like,

609
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: you know, fifties and sixties like a thirty six, how

610
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: to go home and get signed by a mom. I

611
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 1: just you forged that signature. You bring that thing back forged?

612
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: Did you guys get homework reports our school district if

613
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: you missed an assignment, the teachers had the option of

614
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: filling out a very brief xerox form with your name

615
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: and the assignment you missed, and if if he or

616
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: she um felt like it maybe a little bit more

617
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: about you know what a bad student you are with

618
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: these things that your behavior or whatnot. Um, I went

619
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: through a phase. I wasn't a hideous student student, but

620
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: I did go phase through phases in my life in

621
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: junior high where I would just wouldn't do homework, and um,

622
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: the homework reports start to pile up on you after

623
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: a while. So me and my cousin Matt, who also

624
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: didn't do his homework, got in the habit of like

625
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: getting to the mailman before he reached them. Yeah, that's

626
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: the trick back then, and it's like, oh, yeah, we're

627
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna grab this for our parents, you know, and uh,

628
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: the homework reports never got there. But then what happens

629
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: is this is how we got banged, how I got

630
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: banged on this. You Uh, there was like a back

631
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: to school thing or a teacher called. Sometimes the teacher

632
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: will call to and it's like, well, as you know, uh,

633
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: Danny has had thirty two homework reports. Your son has

634
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: never accomplished a homework assignment. Every like reality, like maybe

635
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: two or three got through the system if I was

636
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: at soccer practice or something. Yeah, but yeah, so now

637
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: you I would I will from the mail an issue

638
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: you get like the report card becoming this yellow envelope

639
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: with the schools like stamp on it. Take it home.

640
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: Parents still out for about another hour and a half,

641
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: dig a hole in the yard, bury the report card

642
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: in the yard, and then put the dirt over and

643
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: put the grass over it. Go inside like nothing happened.

644
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: And one last note to you kids out your kids

645
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: out there listening. I'm now thirty seven years old, and

646
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing exactly the job that I want to do.

647
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: Bury those school report. Man, you don't just graduate, get

648
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: the diploma, and don't get bogged down with these extracurriculars.

649
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: Sign up for four hundred clubs. Go have fun. I

650
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: was bad at math that for the S A T s.

651
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: My parents uh set me to take a course and

652
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: it was like guaranteed your score goes up or your

653
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: money back, and we got our money back. Class alright anyway,

654
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: So sorry for the digression there, folks. Um back to

655
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: the powerful mean average median whatever. Um we've broken into?

656
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: How many tiers? Greg? Five or six? There seems like

657
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: you can look way to take it over the goal line, Greg, seven?

658
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Seven tiers? What is the WTF? Eight? Actually, let's go,

659
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: let's go. You want to go top to bottom on this,

660
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: I think we go. Let's go bottom. Let's go bottom

661
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: top alright, alright, way to let's see the north star, Greg. Alright,

662
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: what do you got are they? The number thirty two

663
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: team is all by itself in a in a tier

664
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: that you can guess who named it. It's called a

665
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: distant dark nether world and it's the Cleveland Browns who

666
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: mark you know everyone else you know. We ranked them

667
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: one to thirty two, had the Browns in the league.

668
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: How about this get to thirty two and we'll talk. Yeah. Well,

669
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, no one's gonna argue it's it's just that

670
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: we talked about this on our last show, so we

671
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,479
Speaker 1: don't need to dump into it. But here we are again,

672
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: the Browns a quarter of the way through the season.

673
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: Again the consensus worst team in football. They're getting worse.

674
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: That was That was the worst game for Kaiser, the

675
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: worst game for the Browns. They I think they can

676
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: bounce back, but they have absolutely no pass rush, absolutely

677
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: no wide receivers. It's just like chunks chunks of the team.

678
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: But I think the run game could happen. Like the

679
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: players are there. I don't see the next team that's

680
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: as close and tough to watches them. They got a

681
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: lot to work. Well what according to our did everyone?

682
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: So everyone had the Browns last. Who is the closest

683
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: to the Browns and the Colts are And I don't

684
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: think there's some huge difference between the Browns the Colts

685
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: forty niners. So in the in the group uh to

686
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: thirty one, we called it it's getting late early and

687
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: uh ultimately a not incredibly original It does the job

688
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: like you know exactly what the tear means. Good job

689
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: by Greg on that one. I thought, it's it's a

690
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: moral victory for the Jets to be the best team

691
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: in the league right there at twenty five. Uh, the

692
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 1: New York Giants, who were I went back and looked

693
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: at the NFL dot Com predictions for the year. Four

694
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: out of fifteen NFL dot Com analysts had them in

695
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, including the former NFL GM. So right,

696
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: so a lot of people love the Giants. They're twenty six.

697
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: Is the Chargers who I had going far in the

698
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: playoffs alone? The Bears aty Dolphins at twenty nine, another

699
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: one of the most disappointing teams in the league. Forts

700
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: and colts about where we expected them to be ahead

701
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: of the season. Third, Um, I was curious because I

702
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: had on my rankings and if you scroll down, I

703
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: have all your in you do, Okay, I had the

704
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: Jets at twenty three. Um, so that would say that

705
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: you guys are all kind of in that same realm. Yeah,

706
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: I had Hi, there you go so far? I mean

707
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: after these last two weeks. Yeah, I mean, I don't

708
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 1: think they're good, but their defense is competitive in there.

709
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: I think they're playing hard. All right, what's the next? Uh,

710
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: you get an honest effort out of these Jets? You

711
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: got credit for sure. He is and West had a

712
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: lot of fun at at Todd Bowls's expense because they

713
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: asked them directly if they're rebuilding and head coaches don't

714
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: say that. He just he's doing the best that he

715
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: can with that team, and so far the best is five.

716
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Well we'll move on. But I will

717
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: say the Dolphins are in the best spot of all

718
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: these teams because they've only played three games and they've

719
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: been on the road for about a month. They have

720
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: had a lot of things going on with them. You

721
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: can envision a scenario. Maybe they can reset their season.

722
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: It's only one and two. They've They've got agree with

723
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: that there at only nine because they've been they deserve it,

724
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: but they could move up all I don't think the

725
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: forty nine is staying at thirty either, But okay, interest

726
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna get it? I see I see

727
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: hope in every game for them, but it may take

728
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: more than this season. But the next section is stand up,

729
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: be brassy like that and uh that we're back in

730
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: more original terrain. Yeah, twenty fo. You know a lot

731
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 1: of comments you could. I asked you if you wanted

732
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: to throw in some names, and I know, I just

733
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: I said you should be the north Star, and I

734
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: think you're doing a good job on balance. Mark and

735
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: I both both came up with his name. I came

736
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: up with distant Dark nither world sticking to it. Twenty

737
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: four is the Ravens. Yikes. Not a good start to

738
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: their and I could almost bury them a little. I

739
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I'm surprised that they're not in it's

740
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: getting later early I had the Ravens. I guess you're right.

741
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: It's been pretty grim. Maybe a recency biases is playing

742
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: in because they were there. They were perfectly fine the

743
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: first two weeks. They've been dread all the last They

744
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: have their offense against Pittsburgh, their offenses held their defense hostage.

745
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: Their defense is not as bad as it wasn't that

746
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars game right in the week before everything was broken.

747
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: So they have something to them, a coaching staff in

748
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: order that makes you believe they'll get better. They just

749
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: haven't been able to pass the ball, though at all

750
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: they did, They're hideous. Watch on all at all since

751
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of season. Yeah, it seems like a factor

752
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: for them. The Bengals had twenty three. Dan and I

753
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: both had them in the playoffs. Uh, not quite done yet,

754
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: one in three, the Cardinals twenty two, Jaguars twenty one.

755
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: So we're not quite buying all the way in on

756
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: the Jaguars yet, Saints at twenty, Vikings at nineteen, Titans

757
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: all the way down at eighteen after a bad performance,

758
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: and the Bucks, who I guess we're not really buying

759
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: into too much at seventeen. Right in the middle. By

760
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: the way, I love this. I'm the one that all

761
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: the Tennessee fans get upset with on this podcast. I

762
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: had them sixteen, and if they're at eighteen, that means

763
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: my friends here both had them lower and Mark had

764
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: them at eighteen as well. Yeah. Um, And the one

765
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: comment I'll make about that tire additional comment I should

766
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: say is I believe Cincinnati will rise. I'm now feeling

767
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: to what I think. I believe that by the time

768
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: if we do this exercise at the halfway point, I

769
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: do believe in Bill Laser. By the way, Um, he's

770
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of sweets. Yeah. People driving off right

771
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: this part of it. Yeah, I believe the lasers. Maybe

772
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: the volumes should be down a little bit. I'm saying

773
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: should go up. It's a little dangerous. I believe by

774
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: the midway point, when we do this exercise again, I

775
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: think the Bengals will be a five hundred team and

776
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: will be in the mix. And that's a kind of

777
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: a weird division. So Colleen, if you are picking up

778
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: done with them team in this group too, that would

779
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: would stand up and be brassy and make let's say

780
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: the divisional round of the playoffs, you know, really get

781
00:39:54,440 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: out of this and be brassy. This t probably the Bucks. Uh,

782
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: they've only played three games, so they've won two of them. Yeah,

783
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 1: right there at the top of this tier. The Vikings too,

784
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: and Sam Bradford gets back if he plays better or

785
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: plays the way he did but before he got the

786
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: kids have a lot to like. Salvin Cook's stinks, it

787
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: really does. But they have a lot of playmakers on defense.

788
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: Their offenses look good. I think they belong with Murray

789
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: and his ankle isn't even yet, so what are you

790
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: doing on the ground there? But did we all have

791
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: them at nineteen? I had him at night, I had

792
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: them at I'm a little I had him at six teams.

793
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm a little burnt from last season, but that's not fair.

794
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: But I had them at I think they have real upside.

795
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: They they've looked good for long streaks. Case Kino, that

796
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: was one where I apologize for anything Derice and we

797
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: said that they need Sam Bratt. Case played great in

798
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: that game that they only scored seven points. They have

799
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: a lot to like. It was a bit of a

800
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 1: flukey game. They've generated offense, they've got I think there's

801
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: still something there, all right, what's next? Greg? Surprisingly frisky?

802
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Just the three team uh tier here, Lions, Redskins and Bills,

803
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Lions and Lions fans feeling a little slighted on this podcast.

804
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: And this isn't gonna help the three and one in

805
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: that fourteenth in the league on our power pull. Yeah,

806
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: I had him an eight team. I guess you were

807
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: the one that was in one. And they could be

808
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: undefeated too if that got It'm at eleven in mark At,

809
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm at eleven. Yeah, I send your comments to Dan,

810
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, send your composed to me. I don't I

811
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: apologize if if I'm not respecting your team yet, I

812
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: will watch this game and and watch it and see

813
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: what I said. The one thing I have Falcons game.

814
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: They're closing games out like that's that's something the Lions,

815
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: I know last year with their crazy last second business.

816
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 1: But they're a different team than last year, right to Yeah,

817
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: it looks good. The defense is fourth in the league

818
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: and points allowed. They're one of the only teams that

819
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: are ranked in the top ten and points scored and

820
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: points allowed. It's a little flukey sometimes this early in

821
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: the year. I don't know if they're that like the Jaguars,

822
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: for instance, are in the top six in both categories.

823
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: Don't know what the Jaguars are, Well, they're ranked one.

824
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: They need to stand up and be brassy the next

825
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: tier playoffs or bust. I'm just saying. If I'm saying,

826
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: if these teams don't make the playoffs, their fans should

827
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: be disappointed at this point that they've shown enough and

828
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: or they came into the season with enough that it's

829
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: like it's a team that you've got to be disappointed.

830
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: And were listing all the teams as we're going along. Okay,

831
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about that for a second there that

832
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: we were just like cherry picking teams and no one

833
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: listening to the shows now. Redskins, by the way, Redskins

834
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: at fifteen, but the Bills at sixteen, they're not going

835
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: to be happy with us. We just need to see

836
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 1: a little bit, a couple more couple. You're a mid

837
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: level team. That's that's overachieving right now. But these other teams,

838
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: they got more players going on. It's not just going

839
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: up the standards. Eagles at six, and we'll dive into

840
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: that in a second, because that is high to me.

841
00:42:53,960 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: Falcons at eight, Panthers at nine, a little I had

842
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: the Falcons at thirteen. I'm a little bit. I don't know,

843
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: like Matt Ryan's regressing a little bit at least in

844
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: terms of his production. Not even a little bit. He's

845
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: been down way off from last season, touchdown rate and

846
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: things of that nature. Uh. And they could easily be

847
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: one in three right now. I had them at four

848
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: and Mark had them at three. So that was what

849
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: where we really still believe in them quite a bit.

850
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: To me, they've been exactly what I expected. They're one

851
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: of the few teams that I can say that about. Vin.

852
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a top five or six offense, and

853
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: I think the defense is better I kind of know

854
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: what I'm getting with them. The defense is going to

855
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: get better too, because they'll get Vic Beasley back and

856
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: Pack McKinley. I mean, he's still a rookie. He's getting

857
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,479
Speaker 1: better and better every week. I know that their games

858
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: have been close, but just looking at the balance of

859
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: their team, I kind of like what I see still.

860
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: I think they got the guts of what I think

861
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: the Panthers are maybe a little too high. Panthers are

862
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: at nine to finish, just going through a Texans at ten, Cowboys,

863
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: and these are three teams that could have had their

864
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: own tier in terms of just being a little disappointing

865
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: big name team so far. Cowboys at eleven, Raiders at twelve,

866
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: and Seahawks at thirteen. So you don't like the Panthers

867
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: that well. I just think this past week is the

868
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: first time that I have sort of been buying into

869
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: them like that. This was the only game so far

870
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: this year that I was like, Okay, yeah, like they

871
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: look good now. They they went into Foxboro. That was

872
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: a big game for them, even though that defense stinks.

873
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: But I thought that Cam Newton looked better. He was

874
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: running around. He looks more confident. I think now I

875
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: can buy into the defense where or that offense, whereas

876
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: all the other games I couldn't. I'll talk about the Eagles.

877
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: They're actually like we went six to eight because they're

878
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: tied with the team above him, so it's six and seven.

879
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: But the Eagles to Mark put them at two. I

880
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: really I put them in. I really like the Eagles,

881
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: and I think that in a team that's growing into

882
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: who they are and they're going to be a factor

883
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: deep into the season, that's big. That's well, that's good.

884
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: I like that. We all disagreed quite a bit on

885
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: a few of these teams. For instance, Dan had the

886
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: Texans much higher than anyone else he had met. Five.

887
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they were at fifth team for me.

888
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they were in Mark's top top ten either.

889
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 1: So you you're you think DeShawn watch, I'm you guys

890
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: convinced me a little bit that the Falcons probably deserved

891
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: to be a little bit higher than maybe the Texans.

892
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: I could have put payoff teams. I'm really, you know,

893
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm just maybe getting it trying to get it on

894
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: the ground floor a little bit with the Texans and

895
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: Watson and thinking that this season can go in a

896
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: really big way for them. Uh effective now Panthers. I

897
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: like as I put them the highest. I guess I

898
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: was the one that jacked them up at six. I

899
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: think they're they're gonna get better as the season goes

900
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: along offensively, and I like the talent. I just look

901
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: at their roster and I like it. They gotta feel

902
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: good to get out of here. Three. In our work,

903
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: in our work chat room, there is NonStop, endless bickering

904
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: and discussion over the Panthers because David Eally, my supervisor,

905
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: is a hyper Panthers fan, and other people in the

906
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: room cannot stand the Panthers, and I am exhausted with

907
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: the team because of this alone. You have we have

908
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots tied at six in the w TF category.

909
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: We kind of hit them in the preview, but they

910
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: have their own place. And I remember, I remember just

911
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: three years ago we did this exact same exercise and

912
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: after the first quarter of the season they were two

913
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: and two, coming off a terrible game, and they weren't

914
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 1: in the top seven or eight. So this has happened.

915
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: Dan had the Patriots at wow, six six, Okay, I

916
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: just didn't see that there, and I had them. I

917
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: was like the taping down into the teams. I had

918
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: them at nine. Show me something, stand up, brassy. I'm

919
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 1: not putting them that low, but yeah, be brassy, Bill Belichick.

920
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: You prove yourself at the end of the world if

921
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: they have a ten or eleven win season where they

922
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: get better as they go, like for for most teams,

923
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: that's a great season. Team of around the NFL is

924
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: top five. The Los Angeles Ram they have to be.

925
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: I mean, come out of the team of a t

926
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: L I put him at nine. I guess I was

927
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: the most not skeptical. But you know, they've won close games.

928
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: They they've it's been coaching. I think as more tape

929
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: gets onto, people will come up with some answers for them.

930
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: I think they're a really fun, exciting team. I don't

931
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: see them as a top five team yet. Dan is

932
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: the Rams at eight. I have them at four. I

933
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: love the Rams are ahead of the Patriots right now. Yeah,

934
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: it takes us to greg the final tier, the top tier.

935
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: What is it called? I don't even remember we called this.

936
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 1: These are just the early favorites. These are the team.

937
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: This is called headlines. Give me a break. You guys

938
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: are off doing your own thing. I'm adding this up

939
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: and trying to get to makeup on time. I just

940
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: like I just early Favorites is innovative. It is a success, Greg,

941
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: good job by you. It does it out well. Here's

942
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: the thing, I don't buy education. I don't really buy

943
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: into these tears. That's why because to me, now he's

944
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: out here. No no, no, I'm not I'm the one

945
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 1: that set him up. But I don't really believe that

946
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: one through thirteen there's any difference. Number one is Kansas

947
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, Denver Broncos at two, Pittsburgh Steelers at three,

948
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers at four. I think you could throw

949
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: in all these top thirteen teams or so. They're all

950
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 1: about the same. It's it is us. If they're playing

951
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: each other on the on a neutral field, I wouldn't

952
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: be stunned to see any result. Not the games aren't

953
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: played on a neutral field, and they're not playing on

954
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: television either. Well, they are in London in Mexico City,

955
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: but someone's field got lost. The Green Bays managed the

956
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 1: schedule very well despite injuries, so they used to get better.

957
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh suddenly got a top you know ten defense, top two, right,

958
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: now in terms of points allowed, and the Broncos at

959
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: two are the team I kind of have my eyes

960
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: on as a have a potential super Bowl winning team. Um,

961
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: and that's why the games aren't played on paper. That's

962
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: what I was looking for. You there not played in

963
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: your television on a neutral field or on paper. They're

964
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: played at someone's home field. That's accurate unless it's the

965
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 1: super Bowl, or it's or an international game, which is

966
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: absolutely neutral. But that's technically a home game for someone.

967
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, so is stubb Hub mostly the Jags, the

968
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: Stub Raiders. You know. I think the Raiders are hosting

969
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: the Patriots in Mexico this year. The Chiefs, by the way,

970
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: we're unanimously number one, which I think Chris Westley, if

971
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: he's listening, might I don't know, Blanche at a little.

972
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: He he was just hoping for the Redskins to win

973
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: last night because he's not really buying that the Chiefs.

974
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: There's some juggern you know, super Bowl favorite. He thinks

975
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: they're a fine team. But but also all of us,

976
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: all of us are saying that the number one does

977
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,959
Speaker 1: not equal out to be a dominant super Bowl favorite either.

978
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 1: I thought they got They got the Brocos, the Steelers,

979
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots, all these teams in the a f C

980
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: right behind him. This is something we weren't saying this

981
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: time last year. The a f C is wide open. Good.

982
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: I think the n is last time that happens. I'm

983
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 1: just more on the Pats and we'll see what happens.

984
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: All right. There you go the Power Powl, and we'll

985
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: revisit this at the halfway point of the season. All right,

986
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: for we wrap things up, it is time to bring

987
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: up back week three. It's back the subreddit supper contests. Yeah,

988
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: all right, quick refresher. We have two game tickets to

989
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: any regular season game on the two thousand seventeen NFL schedule.

990
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: All you have to do if you're if you were

991
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: picked by the Loose Cannon on our subreddit, which you

992
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,959
Speaker 1: can get at um reddit uh, and then the around

993
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,560

995
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: She picked three names at random from that thread, and

996
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: now we have the first person up that gets a

997
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: chance to win two game tickets. They just have to

998
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: get four questions. Right. Greg has already tuned his fingernails

999
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: he's saying, and this thing, we need our showback. But

1000
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: it's all dependent on the lists. I thought you were

1001
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: gonna say, Greg is already tuning out. Well that's true.

1002
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: It's all right, tam posey. Who do we got first?

Speaker 1: be the winner. So congratulations, Chris. I'm locking up, Chris. Uh,

1007
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't really work it up in this scenario. Chris,

00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: are you a Bills fan? Uh? No, Dan, I actually

1009

1014
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: superpower is on pace to finish with the worst total

1015
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: defense since the nineteen seventy league merger. That would be

1016
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. You did it worked out perfectly? Yes,

1017
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:03,920

1022
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:29,839

1023
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: overcome a lot. Who's the third one? I can't remember,

1081
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: I would struggled with that. I mean I think I

1082
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: would get it in the end. But yeah, we asked

1083
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 1: the multiple people in the studio or in this office,

1084
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:45,000

Speaker 1: another hit that she just took off. I mean, from

1090
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 1: the sound of it, she sounded so disgusted with this

1091
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: segment that she just had to not be part of

1092

00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, taking care of us on on the practice field. Uh.

1131
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: Some people like to call us the grind. Um you

1132
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: call it the fine because you figure out what you

1133
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: got and I think we've got some good stuff. Jimmy

1134
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: and I hear one more time, one more time. Um,

1135
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: you feel great? I mean thank coach coach Clark's done

1136
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: a great job us in the weight room. And then um,

1137
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: coach Ja has done a great job. You know, taking

1138
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: care of us on the practice field. Uh. Some people

1139
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: like to call us a grind. Um. You call it

1140
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: the fine because you figure out what you got, and

1141
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: I think we've got some good stuff. Uh. I heard

1142
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: coach g A which makes me think Washington. But I

1143
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you what Rookie of the Year they have.

1144
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Am I allowed to ask you an offense or defense? No?

1145
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: Just give us an answer. Uh, Ryan Kerrigan, Uh, get

1146
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: rid of them. You were so close and you put

1147
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: it together very nicely too. But yet we can stop.

1148
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: The music is flustered. Well, I mean I think that

1149
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: I think there's one logic trap there is that someone

1150
01:00:58,200 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: is looking at that clip and saying, who has been

1151
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: a Rookie of the Year under Jake Ruden? And that

1152
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: did not happen when with with r G three And

1153
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: so you could get caught up in your mind, but

1154
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: you have to hear the voice and recognize that vie

1155
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: and the little catchphrasey business. I mean, if he took

1156
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: it far enough to say j J Ruden, he got

1157
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: close Redskins Rookie of the Year. Yeah, listen, you can't

1158
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: feel bad for him. I feel bad for him, but

1159
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: you can't say that trick is the coach Clark throws

1160
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: you off because that's the strength coach and no one. Well,

1161
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: you gotta back, you gotta erase that from the mind.

1162
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: All right, we are now down to the final opportunity

1163
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: for a listener. Oh my goodness, it has come down

1164
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: to this, Erica. Who do we have on the line

1165
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 1: the final contestant for Tuesday's show? We have Kumar from

1166
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: d C. Kumar from DC, Welcome to the Round the

1167
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: NFL podcast. Hey, how's it going? Hey? Kumar? What or

1168
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: who is your team? D St. Louis Rams. Uh? Not

1169
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: a good sign. They are the Los Angeles Rams. Now, Kumar,

1170
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: already in trouble. That's I don't know if we that

1171
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: felt like a protest of the move right. We can

1172
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: get you tickets to all right, there we go. We

1173
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: can get your tickets to any NFL regular season game.

1174
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: We cannot get you a St. Louis Rams game. Unfortunately,

1175
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: said yeah, all right, so you know the rules, right, Kumar.

1176
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: You gotta get four in a row right to be

1177
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: a champion. Um, let's do it please. Greg is really

1178
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: counting on you now, the perennial league superpower. Excuse me,

1179
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: this perennial league superpower is on pace to finish with

1180
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: the worst total defense since the nineteen seventy merger. Who

1181
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: are the New England Patriots? Well, I like it Jeopardy. Yes,

1182
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Kumar is kind of a wild card and I like it.

1183
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Up next, in week five, we are scheduled to see

1184
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: three rookies starting at quarterback in the NFL. Named two

1185
01:02:52,880 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: of them DeShawn Watson and Mr Bisky. Yeah, there we

1186
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: go halfway home. Name the NFL star who famously blocked

1187
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: Dan and Greg on Twitter, then reverse those blocks after

1188
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: a heart to heart conversation on the Around the NFL podcast.

1189
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: Oh man, I know you guys got blocked. I don't

1190
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: know if he got reversed. But Carr's way to raise

1191
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the tension there with the old man. I had Greg

1192
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: on his feet and I want Christian behind the glass.

1193
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: If Kumar does not get this question right, let's get

1194
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: really tight on Greg's face for his reaction. Well, now

1195
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just not get this our video show. Uh, Kumar,

1196
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: are you Washington State or Washington d C. Okay, all right,

1197
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: are you ready? Kumar? Yeah, this is an audio clue.

1198
01:03:55,160 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: Name this former rookie of the year, Um, great him.

1199
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: I think coach coach Clark's done a great job with

1200
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: us in the weight room, and then um, coach Ja

1201
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: has done a great job, you know, taking care of

1202
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: us out on the practice field. Uh. Some people like

1203
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: to call us to grind. Um. You call it the

1204
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: fine because you figure out what you got, and I

1205
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: think we've got some good stuff Kumar, but he got

1206
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Can you play that again? All right? One more time? Um,

1207
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: you feel great? I think coach coach Clark's done a

1208
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: great job with us in the weight room, and then um,

1209
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: coach Ja has done a great job, you know, taking

1210
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 1: care of us out on the practice field. Uh. Some

1211
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: people like to call us to grind. Um. You call

1212
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: it the fine because you figure out what you got,

1213
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: and I think we've got some good stuff. Goodbar Um,

1214
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: this one's hard. I would like to say, seem so

1215
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: sorry all from d C. The answer, guys, everybody, Robert

1216
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: Griffin the third, It wasn't easy. I don't think it

1217
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: was an easy one, but you're from d I know't

1218
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: how long he's been in DC, but he would have

1219
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: had a lot of RG three on his TV. The

1220
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: voice wasn't recognizable, and I feel like I know his voice,

1221
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: and just for whatever reason, that clip it just seemed

1222
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: I thought that sounded just like RG three, one of

1223
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: the most famous players in the NFL for about a

1224
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: three or four year period, known for saying cheesy things

1225
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: like the grind and the find and all that stuff.

1226
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: He mentioned there's a coach J reference, which is Jay Gruden,

1227
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: his old coach and when he was Workie of the

1228
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Year though, and I and I that's true. I think

1229
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: it's I would argue the first three questions if you're

1230
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: if you're bathed in football were kind of layups, and

1231
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: so I'm all right with the fourth one being a

1232
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: little tougher. Alright, Greg, it's coming back now. Well, all

01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: That's dozens and dozens. I want to check. I I

1237
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,200
