1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. It's me Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: Happy Monday, Straight Fire, December seven and exciting, intoxicating Sunday 3 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I personally loved it, you know. I 4 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: mean the games were phenomenal at one pm. The four 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: pm games, we're kind of sleepy until the end they 6 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: got kind of exciting. We'll dive into everything. I hope 7 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 1: everybody's having a tremendous holiday season so far. We don't 8 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: really have a plan for Christmas break and uh we 9 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: don't do breaks around here obviously, but the New Year's 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: week that will obviously be a kind of a game 11 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: time decision. I'm sure Rob g wants to uh go 12 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: driver his new truck around the country and celebrate his 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: new ride. Me and I'm just here with the family. 14 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: We're just watching football and doing fun things. And I 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: guess coming off Sunday in the NFL, I I would 16 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: almost want to start with Seattle losing and me being 17 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: kicked out of my survivor league where sixteen thousand dollars 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: was on the line. Um, you know, there was a 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: bunch of teams left and I had Minnesota, Vegas or 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: Seattle and I said, I don't trust Kirk Cousins. I 21 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: don't trust Rob G's guy, Derek Carr. Let me ride 22 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. I trust him and Russell Wilson essentially 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: um soiled himself for three quarters against the Giants and lost. 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: But we'll get to that later. I have to start 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: with I think, you know, we got five big stories 26 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: coming off Sunday and the obvious big takeaway from Sunday's 27 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: NFL Slate in Week thirteen is that the Cleveland Browns 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: are a playoff team. And I know this year is 29 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: and this has been the year from hell and everybody 30 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: hates it. But isn't it crazy that this is the 31 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: year that the Cleveland Browns decided to pop? You know, 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: they haven't been to the playoffs since two thousand two. 33 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: They haven't won a playoff game since ninety four. Yes, 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: with Bill Belichick at the helm Folks the last time 35 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: the Browns we're in the playoffs, I was working at 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: a newspaper, hadn't even met the wife yet. Rob G 37 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: Jeezy might have been in elementary school. He'll look at 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: up for US two thousand two, and with a win 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: over the Titans on Sunday. An impressive win, a dominant win, 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield channeling you know, Oklahoma, Baker Mayfield confident, borderline cocky, uh, 41 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: totally composed in the pocket, never rattled. It was phenomenal. 42 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: The Browns push forward to nine and three, still have 43 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: a negative point differential. Ha ha. I got all your tweets. 44 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: Browns fans wanted to shove that in my face. It's 45 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: still a fact. You know, they're nine and three, They're 46 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna be in the playoffs. They will not host a 47 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: playoff game unless the Pittsburgh Steelers totally implode and lose 48 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: the division. Um, we'll get to that later. But Cleveland 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Browns season win total was eight and a half. I've 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: exceeded that, hitting nine. Huge win for me. My second 51 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: season win total over hit Pittsburgh of course the first. 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: But what I loved about the Browns besides Baker Mayfield's 53 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: four touchdown passes in the first half, and again, this 54 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: is the most comfortable he looked. Sunday. He was with 55 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: Oklahoma and they were against Georgia in the National semifinal, 56 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: and if you guys remember the first half of that game, 57 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: he was on fire. Baker Mayfield moving up and down 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: the field against the SEC defense. Um they had Roquan 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: Smith a couple other players on that Georgia defense. Baker 60 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: caught a Philly special touchdown, I'm pretty sure, and then 61 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: he did the throat slit gesture, you remember that. And then, 62 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: of course they ended up losing the game, But that 63 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: was the best I've seen Baker Mayfield and Sunday against 64 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: the Titans, he was essentially that guy again. And I'll 65 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: tell you the drive that really sold me. Okay, So 66 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: they get the football, they jump out three nothing, and 67 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: there was the first high leverage moment of the game, 68 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee fourth and one in Cleveland territory, and they get stopped. 69 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: Fourth and one. They get stopped a pretty big stop. 70 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: Cleveland comes down, scores a touchdown, okay, and it's tend 71 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: nothing and you're like, oh, here we go. Okay, Titans, 72 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: you can pick it up. And Derek and refumbled right 73 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: out of the gate. Cleveland pounces on it and they 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown seventeen nothing, and at this point you're like, Okay, 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: how are the Browns gonna blow this? This is what 76 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: they do. One of the worst franchises in NFL history, 77 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: and um, you know Tennessee comes down in course and 78 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: this is the driver right here. It's sevent seven Tennessee 79 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: playing at home. You're like, okay, Titans are gonna get 80 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: a stop. Obviously, we know Cleveland they're gonna get nervous. 81 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: Baker hasn't had to turn over in four weeks. Uh, 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna play it safe. A lot of running first 83 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: down Baker, beautiful play action, fake, everybody bites, tuck the ball, 84 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, kind of behind his his hip, like you 85 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: do in like your backyard when you're playing with younger 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: kids and they don't know you just tuck it right 87 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: behind your hip, wide open, down the field, Donovan People's 88 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: Jones seventy five yard touchdown. And that was the moment 89 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: I said, Holy cow, Kevin Stefanski is on one. I 90 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: mean he was rolling. Everything you thought he would do, 91 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: he did the opposite and it worked to perfection. Baker 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: Mayfield in the Browns win. Um. I don't want to 93 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: get too excited, but they have the Ravens, Giants, Jets 94 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: Steelers next. Now, all of a sudden, the Giants are 95 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: not a pushover. We know the Jets are gonna be 96 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: plucky here they've covered four of six. I believe Ravens 97 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: will see what they've got on Tuesday and the Steelers 98 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: in week seventeen. Steelers could be resting their guys. I 99 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see what that is. But this is 100 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 1: a ten eleven win Cleveland team. And if you look, 101 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: this is the best part. If you assume everybody ahead 102 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: of them wins out and everything goes as according to schedule, 103 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: the Browns will probably go on the road in the 104 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: first round against the Titans Colts Division winner, and the 105 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: beauty of it is they've already beaten each of those 106 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: two teams this year. They man handled the Colts at home, 107 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: and they just manhandled the Titans, Folks, I looked this up. 108 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: The Browns have played the Colts in the Titans this year. 109 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: They have trailed for a total of seven minutes out 110 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: of a d twenty minutes, the trove for seven, and 111 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: they led both games by seventeen plus. So Kevin Stefanski, 112 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Chubb Hunt, Ah, I'm gonna end with this, 113 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: and I know Rob G's gonna not gonna like me 114 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: for this, and I'm sure some people are not gonna 115 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: like me for this. Folks. The Cleveland Browns are playing 116 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: their best football of the season and Odell Beckham is 117 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: not on the field. Odell Beckham is hurt, he's out 118 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: for the year. And again, you never want to go overboard. 119 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: But since they lost him in that Bengals game, Baker 120 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: came back and won that game. Okay, there are five 121 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: and one with the lone loss to the Raiders in 122 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: a very sketchy, implement weather game. That listen, Rob g uh, 123 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: he was a Raiders fan. He was watching that. Everybody 124 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: knows that game. You don't want to toss it out. 125 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: But it was in like thirty wins and nobody threw 126 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: the football. It was. It was a slot fest. But 127 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, everybody who wanted to say, oh, well 128 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: they need Baker Mayfield there, I gotta go anywhere without it. 129 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: They've beat the Titans, Jags, Eagles, Texans and that Bengals 130 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: wig game back when the Bengal said burrow without Odell Beckham, 131 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: and I know that there's no Super Bowl winners in there. Okay, 132 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: it's still pretty impressive when you're throwing to Donovan People's jones. Uh. 133 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: The kid Higgins. Nick Chubb was out for a few games, like, 134 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: you gotta give a lot of credit to Kevin Stefanski 135 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: and yes, Baker Mayfield for being able to do this 136 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: without Odell Beckham. And you want to push a pushing 137 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: forward to next year, Um, you swap out Odell and 138 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: you could get a nice defender or two with his salary. 139 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: I think you're cooking with some gas if you are 140 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Brown. So that's my big takeaway from Week 141 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: thirteen number two. A guy, I've gassed up on this podcast. Um, 142 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: and it's funny because I'm texting Rob g throughout the day. Hey, 143 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: what are some topics? I like this? What do you think? 144 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: And late he tossed this one in. Well, and you 145 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: could talk about Kyler Murray like kind of sheepishly because 146 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: I've been gassing up Kyler Marie and folks, Uh, it's 147 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: not a big deal to me. I own it when 148 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm right, and I own it when I'm wrong. You 149 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: know you don't. You never want to thump your chest 150 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: too much. You're gonna be right, you're gonna be wrong. 151 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: And since the Hail Mary Kyler Murray against Buffalo, Uh, 152 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: they've lost three straight and the offense is to blame yes, 153 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: that is a fact. Um. They had their lowest offensive 154 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: output of this season against the Rams earlier this year. 155 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, against the Rams last year the lowest in 156 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: the Kingsbury Era, and the two hundred and thirty two 157 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: yards of offense on Sunday against the Rams was the 158 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: second worst of the Kingsbury Era. So it's pretty clear McVeigh. 159 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: We know he owns Arizona. He's now seven or not 160 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: against the spread, seven or not against Arizona in his 161 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: three plus years. But folks, this uh, this Rams defense 162 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: is real deal. Holy Field and Kyler Murray had a 163 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: hundred seventy three yards passing. The three touchdowns will mask 164 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: the stench of a pick six and a fumble in 165 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: his own end when he was trying to do too much. 166 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: I believe Kyler Murray had three completions in the first half. 167 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say the numbers I've seen and 168 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: I wish I had them for you, but I can't 169 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: find them. I don't know someone actually told them to me. Um, 170 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: you know, bottom line, so close to the Cardinals organization 171 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: told me, hey man, Kyler was killing it early this 172 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: season when teams were not blitzing him and what they've 173 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: adjusted in the last five games is, oh, we gotta 174 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: we gotta get a pass rush on this guy. We 175 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: gotta give him some new looks and kind of rattle him. 176 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: And Kyler Murray has not adjusted well. And this is 177 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: where the chess game matters. Cliff Kingsbury step it up. 178 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: The path to the playoffs is still there. They can 179 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: beat the Giants next week, they can beat the Eagles. 180 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: Wait till we get to the Eagles. Who knows who's 181 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: gonna suit up for the Niners, and then the rematch 182 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: with the Rams in week seventeen. So there is a 183 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: path to the playoffs. But they've lost four or five 184 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray has just gotta handle the blitz better. 185 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: They're blitzing him. He's settling for passes, he's not delivering. 186 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: And when teams take away DeAndre Hopkins, as Jalen Ramsey 187 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: did yesterday, uh, Hopkins eight catches fifty two yards, Like 188 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: when you remove him all of a sudden, you're like 189 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: Holy cow. Where the playmakers. Fitz was out, Christian Kirk 190 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: a non factor, Drake and Edmonds did nothing other than 191 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: that fifty nine yard TV early to a wide open 192 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: tight end they had nothing. I'm a little concern for 193 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: Click Kingsbury. Obviously, you don't want to break up that partnership. 194 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: It's way too early to overreact, but they gotta figure 195 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: some stuff out. Third biggest takeaway Week thirteen, Carson Wentz benched. 196 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: I mean Stevie Wonder saw this coming. Uh. Carson Wentz 197 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: doing his thing in the first half, like I'm not 198 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: gonna turn it over. I'll just take a sack. And 199 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: he took four sacks in the first half. Folks. It 200 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: was the tenth straight game Wentz has been sacked at 201 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: least three times. And at some point in the third quarter, 202 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson had seen enough um and he pulled it 203 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: and he went with Jalen Hurts, and what do you know, 204 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts leads a touchdown drive on a gorgeous touchdown 205 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: pass um and then Jalen Reagor runs back a punt. Yeah, 206 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: the guy we took some shots at on this podcast 207 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: being drafted before Justin Jefferson of the Vikings, who had 208 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: another monster day. Reagor houses a punt return and the 209 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: Eagles are covering um, and then of course the Aaron 210 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: Jones seventy seven yard touchdown run with three minutes left. 211 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: You didn't need to do that. Dog could have just 212 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: gone down milk the clock won the game, but he 213 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: felt like scoring and um blew Mike cover. We'll get 214 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: to the best bet later. But here's a troubling stat 215 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: if you're Doug Peterson when you have the discussion all 216 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: week about Wentz or Hurts, the Eagles did not have 217 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: a red zone snap until there were eight minutes left 218 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: in the football game. That's scary. They can't move the football. 219 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, I just I don't think you 220 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: can go back to Wentz. And I know it becomes 221 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: a real issue, like, well, wait a second, we're paying Wentz. 222 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: What's the number on the thirty something million dollars? Like 223 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: he's got a cap at a thirty four million dollars 224 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: next year, and you're telling me we're not gonna start him. 225 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna have We're gonna bench a guy with a 226 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: thirty four million dollar cap pit next year and they 227 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: can't get out of the contract. He's gonna be on 228 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: the roster next year. After next season, there is a 229 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: an out that saves them some money. But I don't know, man, 230 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: this is a it's gonna be a tough week in 231 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: Filthy Delphia a k A kill a Alphia, and Carson 232 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: Wentz is getting killed in the pocket and he's gonna 233 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: be beating up badly in the media today and the 234 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: rest of the week. That's a big story. I'm gonna 235 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: only briefly touch on number four UM Seattle not covering, 236 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: not winning, because again a team I just touted, I mean, 237 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: rob they win Monday night, the defense shows up all 238 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden. Yeah, see how it's got a defense. 239 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: This is a team that can get the number one 240 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: seed in the NFC. And they come out and they 241 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: don't score a touchdown in the first half, and they're 242 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: playing from behind when the defense gives up a big 243 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: run and Russell Wilson's got to bail him out once again, 244 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Seattle offense is like, 245 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: what the hell happened to him? I'm stunned. Russell Wilson, 246 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, took over the game and tried to make 247 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: it a comeback, but it was just too little, too late. 248 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: Like they were running effectively. It was just I mean, 249 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: this is a team that looked like they were sleepwalking, 250 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: and you can't do that. They come out in the 251 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: third quarter and they go zero points and they get 252 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: outscored fourteen nothing by the New York Giants. And it 253 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: wasn't even Danny Dines Culte. McCoy called freaking McCoy through 254 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: for a hundred yards. He passed for a hundred yards. 255 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: You know who he was picking on. This is great. 256 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna love this, Jets fans. Big pivotal third down passes. 257 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: He was going right at Jamal Adams second down passes. 258 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: We need some yard at here. Let's go to Jamal Adams. 259 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: He ate him up. I mean, let's guys, I don't 260 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't think that Jamal Adams trade is gonna look 261 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: good in the long term for Seattle. By the way, 262 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: Jets fans, Um, you have Seattle first round picks, so 263 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: this loss helps. Um. It was just one of those performances. 264 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: Seattle got to the red zone once in the entire game. 265 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: Something's going on, something that is wrong with uh Seattle. 266 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: And I know it's tough to say that. Um. Maybe 267 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: maybe the opposite is true. This is about the Giants defense, 268 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: which held Rus to four for thirteen on third down 269 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: over two one fourth down. Um, maybe the Giants defense 270 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: is for real and they're gonna win that division. But 271 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: Seattle losing. I definitely did not see that coming. Every 272 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: teaser bet was blown up by that. And finally, and 273 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: I know Rob G has been champing at the bit 274 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: to get in on this, um My New York Jets. 275 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: I did have some on the money line felt good 276 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: and uh that one hurt. It did. I wanted that win. 277 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to go in sixteen. Nobody does. Nobody 278 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: wants to go in sixteen. Yeah, I want Trevor Lords, 279 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: but I don't want to go oh in sixteen. That's 280 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: a stain that is difficult to remove. I mean, the 281 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions went over sixteen. There's still a laughing stock. 282 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: You basically have to win a Super Bowl to erase 283 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: the stench of Owen sixteen. The Browns on sixteen recently, 284 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: people still laugh at them. I don't want to root 285 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: for a team that everybody's laughing at constantly. And I 286 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: just before we turn it over to Rob G, who's 287 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: gonna do a victory dance because Derek Carr bailed his 288 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: ass out. Um, I don't think Greg Williams tried to 289 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: blow the game, as so many douche bags were speculating 290 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: on social media and that's just lame. It's like, oh, 291 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: please give me retweets. Yeah, they were trying to blow 292 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: the game. No, get out of here. Nobody blows a game. 293 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: Here's what happened. Greg Williams likes the zero blitz, rattle 294 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback, make him throw it earlier than he wants, 295 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: and ended he did that to perfection in the red 296 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: zone with I don't know what two minutes left, ninety 297 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: seconds right around there, and they blitzed on that fourth 298 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: down and car had to go off his back foot early. 299 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: It was short, had no chance, and it looked like 300 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: the Jets had one. It was a smart fourth down play, 301 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: But that's smart in the red zone at midfield. You 302 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: don't go zero blitz and leave a fifth round cornerback 303 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: on an island against Henry Ruggs, one of the fastest 304 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: players in the league. Like Derek Carr was laughing, He's like, Oh, 305 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm so glad they blitzed and didn't have a safety 306 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: back there. Who does that? It's prevent defense. There's fifteen 307 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: seconds left, they're at midfield. All you gotta do is 308 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: have the safeties back and don't get beat deep that's 309 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: the one thing you can't do. And rugs beats and 310 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: deep in the and the Raiders win. Um, I'm gonna 311 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: take a deep breath and I'm gonna just say this. 312 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: You guys know I'm trying to get into good headspace. 313 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: Everything happens for a reason. There's a reason this loss happened. 314 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what that is yet. Uh. You know, 315 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: maybe ultimately we would have lost Trevor Lawrence. I weve 316 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: it sounds so nerdy. Maybe the Jets would have lost 317 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence if they won this game. I don't know, 318 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: but it's stunk at the time. Man, it really really stunk, 319 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: all right, Rob as a Raiders fan, Uh, you guys 320 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: saved your highe You're now in the thick of the 321 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: playoff race once again after that drubbing you took in Atlanta. Um, 322 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: do you want to give props to anybody? What are 323 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: we thinking here? Well, unlike Jets fans, Raider fans can 324 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: say we because we are the Raider nation. So I 325 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: am part of the Raiders team. I get to collect 326 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: the small paycheck every er the Friday, And UM, I 327 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: do agree with you. I don't think they were trying 328 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: to lose. I just think that was a questionable play 329 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: called and terrible coverage by that corner. Like I know, 330 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: everybody's not a good quarterback. Everybody's bailing and talking trash 331 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: on Greg Williams, and you know he deserves it, But 332 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: that corner was so worried about a twelve yard out 333 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: route that doesn't hurt you, that he bit on that 334 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: and rugs like, all right, well me just one extra step, 335 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: but I'm gone. So that was, uh, that was nice 336 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: to see. Actually, my daughter was napping during that time, 337 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: and I screamed so loud, and my wife came in 338 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: and yelled at me. I got in trouble for getting 339 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: excited because her up, but it was worth it to me. 340 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: I and the apologize and she was happy, So it 341 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: was all good. But I mean it was really bad 342 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: there for a while. I mean, after what happened last 343 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: weekend against Atlanta, then to see it happened again to 344 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: the with the Jets, and I've I've got visions of 345 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: going ten and six, eleven and five and making a 346 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: deep run in the playoffs, and to see it dashed 347 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: by your New York Jetropolitans would have been tough. So 348 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: shout out to Derek Carr, and shout out to Henry 349 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: Ruggs who redeemed himself, and yet most importantly, shout out 350 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: to Greg Williams for calling that a play. I appreciate it. 351 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: Let me quickly ask you, um you guys led by ten. 352 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: Sam Donald had fumble, interception fumble consecutively in the second quarter, Like, 353 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: how did the Raiders not run away with this game? 354 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: Like I just I know knows Josh Jacobs I was 355 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: all such an idiot. I started Booker in fantasy and 356 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: they barely used him. Um Waller obviously was a beast, 357 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: but it was almost like they had such a lock 358 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: on Waller they didn't. I didn't see much of anyone else. 359 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: It felt to me like they were expecting the Jets 360 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,479 Speaker 1: to just roll over once they got that little lead, 361 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: because in the second half, what where they got their 362 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: lead and how they were able to play well in 363 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: the first half was just throwing the ball because without 364 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, I foolishly picked up DeVante Booker think he 365 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: would just at least give me seventy of Josh Jacobs 366 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: and that wasn't anywhere close to it. And he's definitely 367 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: a lesser player. But they decided we're just gonna run 368 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: the ball, kill some clock, get out of here with 369 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: the wind. Jets will move on to what is it 370 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: O N twelve will be fine, and suddenly they go 371 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: three and out and then it's, you know, another three 372 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: and out, and then it's a fumble by Rugs and 373 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're right back in a football game. 374 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: And by the time they went back to the passing attack, 375 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 1: it was they were disjointed. They were in any kind 376 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: of rhythm. Like you mentioned, the only receiver who was 377 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: doing anything was Darren Waller. Um. And you know, like 378 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: we said, shout out to Greg Williams for calling that 379 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: that play and giving us a chance. So it was good. 380 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: But I want to get back to something that you 381 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: brought up earlier, Um, and that's Kyler Murray. I know 382 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: you follow me on Twitter because I know you're always, 383 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, putting the snide little comments thinking that you're funny. 384 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: You're not that funny. But one thing I did say 385 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray is that he is giving me serious 386 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: steaming Willie Beamon vibes. You know, for many given Sunday. 387 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: Remember in that movie I got a memory jug Jamie Fox, 388 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: Jamie Fox. God, you you remember that movie. He starts 389 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: off incredible, he's thrown up on the field, but he's 390 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: putting up massive numbers. And they did this metrics commercial 391 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: and they does an interview with the fake Jim Rome 392 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: and he talks about I got my invisible juice and 393 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: when I turn it on, they can't stop me. And 394 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: suddenly as soon as that interview happened, he just it 395 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: falls apart completely and they start losing and get them 396 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: fights in the locker room and his linemen are saying, 397 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 1: what's your steam at Willie like getting upset. And I 398 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: feel like with Kyler Murray, ever since the Al Murray happened, 399 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: he has just been really really bad. It's not like 400 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: he's been, you know, just not as good as he 401 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: had been. He's just been terrible. Like you mentioned, there 402 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: was the time where he I believe he was one 403 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: for nine and the one completion was just on a 404 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: busted coverage, which a long touchdown. Um, he has not 405 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: been good at all. And I'm not sure if this 406 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: is the stat that you're buddied sents you, but I 407 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: do have a stat about him against the Blitz. Coming 408 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: into Sunday in the previous four games, he had been 409 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: blitzed almost forty percent of the time. And in that 410 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: time he's or excuse me, in that time, he's had 411 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: three interceptions three touchdowns, which means on his career he's 412 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: thrown more interceptions than touchdowns against the Blitz. But in 413 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: the in the seven games before that, he'd only been 414 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: blitzed seventeen percent of the time. That's when we saw 415 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: him running around and doing all of these different things, 416 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: and that's how he ends up being a top of 417 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: the ESPN Top twenty five five players. And what's funny 418 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: about that, I don't come get getting a little long 419 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: winded here is in the same week that ESPN and 420 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: had the top and Kyler Murray's number one, they also 421 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: run a column that says, have NFL teams cracked the 422 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: code on Kyler Murray? So I'm glad that they kind 423 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: of got there. Uh you know that the shout out 424 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: to them, that's how you really get the clicks up. 425 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: But I mean, Kyler Murray, I I believe in his talent. 426 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: I think he's a good, really good player. But just 427 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: like we saw with Lamar Jackson, teams have adjusted to him, 428 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: and so far neither Hey or Cliff Kingsbury of show 429 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: they know how to adjust back. It's a double edged sword, 430 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: rob G. I think what you're talking about is Kyler 431 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: wants to run less because you can't get you can't 432 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: get injured. If you're the star quarterback, right the franchise quarterback, 433 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: they can't have you running. But that's what makes him 434 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: great is the running. Look at the stats running the 435 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: football for Kyler Murray during the three game losing streak, Okay, 436 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: five carries fifteen yards, five carries thirty one yards, five 437 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: carries fifteen yards, rob, I mean that's not enough. During 438 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: the inning streak earlier this season, nine carries ten, fourteen, eleven, eleven, 439 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: and he's getting like anywhere from six hundred yards rushing. 440 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: He hasn't had a touchdown run in three games. Oh 441 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: did you notice they haven't won the last three games. 442 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: Prior to that, he had had a touchdown run in 443 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: five consecutive games. Like he is the most dangerous running 444 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. His longest carry yesterday seven yards. 445 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: His longest carry against Seattle in the loss eight yards. 446 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: Prior to that, he did no no games with a 447 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: carry under ten yards, like maybe teams are starting to 448 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: figure him out, which I hate saying because it's so 449 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: early in it. At least Lamar had an entire season, 450 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: won an m v P and they figured him out. 451 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: But I mean, Kyler's completion percentage is still sixty eight, 452 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: but his yards per attempt are going way down. So 453 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: I think what's happening is they're blitzing him. He's having 454 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: trouble identifying the blitz and he's going to the quick 455 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: short passes which are not nearly as dangerous. He doesn't 456 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: have as much time to uncork the bombs, and under pressure, 457 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: he's shriveling a little bit. You know, this is the 458 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: second year quarterback. I mean, it stinks that he's under 459 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: this kind of spotlight. But we saw this with Baker, right, 460 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield has a good first year, set some rookie 461 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: quarterback records, leads the league in commercials, and it all 462 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: goes to his head. And now Kyler Murray, you know, 463 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: Hail Mary toast of the town. Like you said, there 464 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: was all these articles about him and all of a sudden, wait, 465 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: didn't go to his head. I don't. I think he's 466 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: a little more level headed and can handle it. But 467 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: we're talking about a twenty three year old kid. Um. 468 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: I really hope he gets it together. I have money 469 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: on the Cardinals to get to the playoffs, and I 470 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: like his chances. I just this is gonna be a 471 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: tough week. We just saw Russell Wilson struggle against the 472 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: New York Giants. Kyler Murray has to fly across the 473 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: country early start off three straight losses, and um, I 474 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: mean this is a big spot in New York City. 475 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: You know this is gonna be one of those early 476 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: marquee games that everybody's gonna be watching, Giants chasing first place. 477 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: Uh playoff Berth. I don't know, Rob, I have some 478 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: concerns about Kyler. Well you should, because we're not for 479 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: the hail Murray. They would have lost five games in 480 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: a row. So and then another thing. Brock Heward and 481 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: Greg Jennings were on the call. Greg Jennings a friend 482 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: of mine and he was a friend of yours. Big um. 483 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: They actually mentioned I don't really hear this as much 484 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: as I thought I would. When he got into the NFL, 485 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: he had a couple of passes that were batted down 486 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: to the scrimmage. And what they said is with his height, 487 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,239 Speaker 1: the only way he's able to complete passes over the 488 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: middle is if he's fading way back so he can 489 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: see over the line, or he scrambles up in the 490 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: pocket and is able to you know, do it that way. 491 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: And what you're seeing is when teams are blitzing, you 492 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: can't step in the pocket. You either got to bail 493 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: out or do something different. And what it's doing is 494 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: it's it's wiping away any chance of throwing into those 495 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: voids of where the blitz is because he can't see 496 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: over the line. So you know, that's another thing to 497 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Yeah, I know the Baker stuff 498 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: and Drew Brees went through this. Everybody wants to talk 499 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: about the height and need a big three taller than 500 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. This is true. Uh, Kyler is obviously way 501 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: quicker in a different quarterback, but you've got have been 502 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: put him in positions to succeed. Um, maybe you've got 503 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: to spread the field more, get Isabella out there, get 504 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: more four wide sets, um, open it up. There's got 505 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: to be a solution. Kingsbury is supposed to be an 506 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: offensive genius. You know, figure this out. He's he's living 507 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: that baller life in Arizona. Remember during the draft they 508 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: had a picture of him in his backyard. Looked like, 509 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: Zanna do. I mean, geez um, bro, why don't you 510 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: figure this out? You know, come on, Cliff Kings, where 511 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: you stop being a playboy dating all these chicks and 512 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: living the dream out there in Arizona and and get 513 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: it together. Well, you know who else is supposed to 514 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: be an offensive genius? And you brought it up earlier 515 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: as Doug Peterson, and again we talked. We talked about 516 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: this off the air, and we talked about it, I 517 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: think last week as well. At what point does he 518 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: have to wear this? Because I've seen, like you know, 519 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz got benched and now you're that you have 520 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: the was it ninety million dollar question? Is what are 521 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,239 Speaker 1: you gonna do with Carson Wentz Because he's he's not 522 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: going anywhere next season and I don't know if his 523 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: an was gonna get her out of it then the 524 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: following year, because you have thirty five thirty seven million 525 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: dollars two years from now against the cap with him. 526 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: So in most instances, the coach goes before the quarterback, 527 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: especially the franchise quarterback and somehow he's been living off 528 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: this Nick Foles. Joe Flacco asked, miracle run for what 529 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: is it now, three or four years? And what has 530 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: he done since then? I mean him and Matt Naggy 531 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: have slowly become like Big twelve coaching quarterback like coaches, 532 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: Like they have this reputation of this innovative of fans. 533 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: And look at how how aggressive I am. And then 534 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: you look at the box scoring, You're like, oh, you 535 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: guys only had two hundred and twelve yards and three 536 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: for ten on first down, but you know you've run 537 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: a lot of shotgun that's cool. Like I don't, I 538 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: don't get it, Like I'm I'm concerned not only about 539 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: I think, I mean Carson Wentz. We know he's kind 540 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: of done there, But is he gonna try to use 541 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts as like this life jacket that maybe this 542 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: is gonna help him keep his job because now he's 543 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: got a new quarterback. I don't know if that's gonna work. 544 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: I don't listen, it's too early to have a major 545 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: verdict on Hurts. But he couldn't make the throw to 546 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: the sideline. One was way short and the other was picked. 547 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm not questioning his arm strength, but 548 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: he he just couldn't make the throw. A quick word 549 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: on Naggie. We didn't talk about the Bears. Uh did 550 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: you see their meltdown by the way at the end 551 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: of the game. I did, Okay, So they lead the 552 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: Lions by ten um and the little Lions have his 553 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: long drive down the field and they get a touchdown. 554 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: So there's like a little over maybe a little less 555 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: than two minutes left. Chicago calls for True Whisky to 556 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: drop back and pass. You're nursing a three point lead 557 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: with two minutes left, Traubinsky, because this is what he does, 558 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: fumbles of football at like his own fifteen yard line, 559 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: and of course the Lions go in a couple of 560 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: plays later, Um, I'm sorry, he's own like ten yard 561 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: line and Adrian Peterson goes in for the touchdown. They 562 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns in like at seconds span, and they 563 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: shocked the Bears. The Bears lose again. That's six losses. 564 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: Do you remember after the Bears lost to the Rams 565 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: on Monday Night football, we had the discussion who's the 566 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: worst five and two teams? And we batted around a 567 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: bunch of teams we looked at point deferential and unequivocally. 568 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: If you guys go back and listen, it was the 569 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. There were a joke and they showed it 570 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: on on Sunday. I would not be surprised. Listen, Um, 571 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: if Naggie is on the track to get fired. Um, 572 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: I would not be shocked if the GM went with him. 573 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: This is just a gutless performance from the Bears. They had. 574 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: They had an incredible ground game. They ran for two 575 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: hundred sixty seven yards because they said, oh, we don't 576 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: trust Mtsky throwing, so what the hell do you do 577 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Yeah, I dropped Trebinsky 578 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: back to throw. I mean, it was unbelievable. I was stunned. 579 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Not two hundred sixty yards. They had a 580 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards rushing the football. It's a little different. Yeah, yeah, 581 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: just a quick glance at the box score. But they 582 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: had three rushing touchdowns in the first half, and I 583 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: have in my notes here from the telecast. That was 584 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: the most rushing touchdowns the Bears have had in a 585 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: half the first half since nineteen four. Somebody told me 586 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: it was the running back was Neil Anderson. I did 587 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: not look it up. Um, I was stunned at that. 588 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: But like folks, that is quite awful. I mean that 589 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: that just shows how bad the Bears have been for 590 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: so long. And Naggy just you know, this is gonna 591 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: be one of those head coaching openings. Um, could be 592 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: enemy work here, I don't know. Uh. And just to 593 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: quickly get back to your Eagles. UM, I don't want 594 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: any Jets fans to panic. I know we have a 595 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: lot of Jets fans listening because I'm you know, a 596 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: big Jets nerd Um. Joe Douglas is the Jets GM. 597 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: He came to New York from Philadelphia. He helped compile 598 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: the roster with Doug Peterson. Um, if Doug Peterson wants 599 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: to get the hell out of Philly and he wants 600 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: a lifeboat and he wants a number one pick quarterback, 601 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, could he wedge his way into the Jets. 602 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. It gets me a little concerned. Um. Frankly, 603 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: I'd rather have Dobblo Sweeney. I know Dobbo has never 604 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: done anything at the NFL level, but um, I like 605 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: the creativity and people can say, well, Jay you don't 606 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: want a Super Bowl winning coach? Come on, get Peterson? Um, 607 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. Is he coming with Frank Reich? 608 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: You can bring Frank Craig from the Colts to be 609 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. I just, rob G, I'm out on Peterson. 610 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: I haven't liked anything that I've seen from them this year. Um, 611 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just it just it gets me 612 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: upset to think that I want something new, so fresh, 613 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, can we go find a freaking McVeigh. What 614 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: about Joe Brady in Carolina? What if he's McVeigh. Nobody 615 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: knows that nobody had heard of McVeigh. He was He 616 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: was a quarterbacks coach in Washington, and then an o 617 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: C and then boom, he's a head coach. And I mean, 618 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: rob G, listen, you're out here in l A and 619 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: we get a lot of McVeigh force fed to us, 620 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: and this guy delivers. Man, he has been a pretty 621 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: damn good coach his entire time as a head coach. Right, 622 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: he's pushing all the right buttons. You know. I read 623 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: how he picked up this defensive coordinator, Brandon Staley. Um. 624 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: Apparently Staley helped devise something to shut somebody down, and 625 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: McVeigh was so taken, like, oh my gosh, that's an 626 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: incredible job that he hired the guy. And I think 627 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: it was somehow one of mcveigh's offenses that he shut down. 628 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: And Staley has been a great find. Initially got Wade Phillips, 629 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: the d C, who was outstanding, and now he's got Staley. 630 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: And um, I know, financially the in a weird place. 631 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: Paying golf so much, paying Adonald so much, paying Jalen Ramsey. 632 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,239 Speaker 1: How do they comprise a roster around those guys? You 633 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: have McVeigh scheme it up. I mean, he's dialing up 634 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: some awesome stuff. Um, I don't know about you, Rob G. 635 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: I love everything I've seen from Mdvey. Yeah, it's funny 636 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: that you bring up Sean McVeigh for two reasons. Number one, 637 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: because he's in the same city as Anthony Lynn. You 638 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: have arguably what like, if not the best, one of 639 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: the top three or four best coaches in football. And 640 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: then a guy like Anthony Lynn, who I saw on Twitter. 641 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: People who cover the team have said that this is 642 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: the worst coach team that they have seen in their 643 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: time covering football, Like, maybe not the worst wreck because 644 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: and that's what makes it so so stark is that 645 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: the ram if you were to compare just the rosters, 646 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: the chargers and the Rams, I would take the Charges 647 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: roster all day, every day over the RAMS roster, even 648 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: with Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey just top to bottom. 649 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: They are stacked with the with the chargers. But their 650 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: charges are gonna charge, and they're gonna find a way 651 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: to make these dumb mistakes. Like you saw last week, 652 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: it'st the Bills with a quarterback sneak, you know, on 653 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: what was it, fourth down at the goal line, and 654 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: then they get stuff when they're there. The offensive line 655 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: was pass blocking and Justin Herbert was trying to quarterback 656 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: sneak and then he just all went bad. And then 657 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: you saw on Sunday, first they have a field goal 658 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: attempt before the end of that to get blocked returned 659 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 1: for a touchdown, and um, actually they had a punt 660 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: return for a touchdown. They had a block field for 661 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Then the next time they punt again, they 662 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: only had ten guys and it's like, what are you doing? Man? 663 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: And then to bring it full circle again, bread about 664 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: the Ramps. I told you off the air that I've 665 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: rested my starters in Fantasy foot because because I'm already 666 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: secure the number one seed, I want to make sure 667 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: that they're rested for the postseason. And I ended up 668 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: resting the Rams defense because they've been riding them. So 669 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: I had to go with the Bears. Yeah, I got 670 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: the Bears to gave me negative four, but it was fine, 671 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: still good enough for me to win. Rested Alvan one 672 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: I did win. My team is so loaded. I was 673 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: able to rest Alvin Kamara because you know he had 674 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: tired legs, so I I want to make sure he's 675 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: fresh for the fantasy football and I'm bringing all that 676 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: karma my way. I've had to win this league. That 677 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: is uh, that's as good as it gets, rob G. 678 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: So anyways, that's our Week thirteen early takeaways. Obviously, two 679 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: games tonight. Will get to next with the best bet. 680 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: The only thing better than sitting on your couch watching 681 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: the game. He's making money while he's do it. Here's 682 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: your best bet. Alright, it's time for the best bet 683 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: here on straight fire. Good news, bad news, folks, good news. 684 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: We got two Monday night football games. Very excited. We 685 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: also have a Tuesday night game. I kind of dig that, 686 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: especially here during the holiday season. And we had a 687 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: mixed bag this past weekend. You know, we kind of 688 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: touched on some of the games earlier. We misfired on 689 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles getting eight and a half. Listen, it happens 690 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones seventy seven yard touchdown run with three minutes left. Yeah, 691 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: don't expect that. You think maybe he's just gonna go 692 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: out of bounds. I'm gonna make the clock salted away. No, 693 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: he wanted to touchdown. UM, So that was a loss, 694 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: Indie was a nice win, kind of a lucky win, 695 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: given the Texans were knocking on the door, right, they 696 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: were inside the ten yard line. Deshaun Watson fumbles, Heck, 697 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: the Texans might win that game out right, Colts get 698 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: a little bit lucky there. And the other individual pick 699 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 1: was Washington, which is tonight Washington eight and a half. 700 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: We got a good number, Listen, we gave that out Friday. 701 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: If you bet it, you've got a good number down 702 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: at seven. Um. There was some Ben Roethlisberger questions over 703 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: the weekend. I think, you know, he's gonna be fine, 704 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. He's old, you know, he's always being dinged up. Um. 705 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: And then the teaser, which I felt so good about, 706 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: I mean a four leg teaser. One of them was 707 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: the forty Niners. That hasn't happened yet, but it doesn't matter. 708 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: Raiders hit down at two. But oh my gosh, seattle't 709 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: still can't get over that loss. And I do not 710 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 1: want to discuss Anthony Lynn and the Chargers. UM don't know. 711 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: I was thinking. I thought I could outthink the room. 712 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: I didn't think the Belichick stuff was that big of 713 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: a deal. And my gosh, that's I'm embarrassed. I gave 714 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: that out. So one and one, one and two heading 715 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: into Washington, and I'm gonna add the forty Niners tonight 716 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: their favored by one. And you know, if we could 717 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: just dig into this game real quick, have you guys 718 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: looked at how odd the Niner season has been. Okay, 719 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: so they've beaten the two bad New York teams. When 720 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: the Giants were really bad early, Uh, Danny Dimes was 721 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: turning the ball over left and right. They beat the 722 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: Jets um easily. They beat the Patriots when they were broken. 723 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: Remember they were coming off the COVID and San fran 724 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: Ran all over them in New England and they beat 725 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: the Rams twice, which is a bit of an oddity 726 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: given how good the Rams are and the Rams are 727 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,399 Speaker 1: a playoff team. That NFC East is weird. Everybody has 728 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: somebody's number, right, Uh, the Rams and McVeigh. They dominate Arizona, 729 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: they dominate Seattle, and they can't win against Catanahan. Very weird, 730 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: uh dynamic they're going on in the NFC West. And 731 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, back to these Niners, like the injuries have 732 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: made this such an uneven season, and for me, this 733 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: is a tough game to handicap because a guy like 734 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,240 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel matters so much. And I'll be honest, Thursday 735 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: he missed practice. I said, no way, I'm taking the Niners. Okay. 736 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: Friday he shows up in practice and it's like he's 737 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: fine and he's a full go. It's like all right, 738 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,280 Speaker 1: And the reason is because they don't really have anyone 739 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: who can straight up make plays. Moster can out of 740 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: the backfield, but he's you gotta wonder about the injury tag. 741 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's always dinged up and you take 742 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: out mosters like say he goes down like he did 743 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 1: against the Rams, right at halftime earlier this season and 744 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: the first meeting he goes down. They had no offense 745 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: in the second half. They literally had nobody moving the football. 746 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 1: And my favorite stat from the forty Niners okay yards 747 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: after the catch yak. Deebo Samuels played five games. He 748 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: leads the Niners in yak by over one yards. He's 749 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: played five games. He is a guy that Kyle Shanahan 750 00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: is gonna scheme up. Get him matched up against a linebacker, 751 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: get him matched up against the cornerback. He runs past 752 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,399 Speaker 1: the linebackers, he runs over the cornerbacks. He's a real 753 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: tough guy. I love me some Deebo Samuel. So with 754 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: him healthy, with most of your you saw George Kittle saying, hey, guys, 755 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: hold it down, I'm coming back. And you know you 756 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: toss in Kittle late in the season in the forty 757 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: nine is all of a sudden are a dangerous team 758 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: and I do like them. I bet them here to 759 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 1: take down Buffalo. Um. I gotta be honest. I still 760 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,800 Speaker 1: don't know what to make of josh Alan, the quarterback 761 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: of the Bills. I joked on Fox sports dot Com 762 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: that the Buffalo Bills are like the Hulu of the 763 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: NFL Hulu, do you want to get it? Well, you know, 764 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: they do have that one good show. I think Reese 765 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: Witherspoon made it, and it looks kind of cool and interesting, 766 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: and you know there was this other good show who 767 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: I Love Lost? You know, do I want to get 768 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: Hulu just so I can watch old episodes of Lost? 769 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: And then ultimately I'm like, hey, you know what I could? 770 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: I could probably do without it. And That's how I 771 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: feel about the Buffalo Bills, like they're kind of good 772 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: sometimes and overall, I just say, I'm not buying him 773 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: as a super Bowl team coming out of the a 774 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: f C. I'm just not. No John Brown the receiver, speedy, huge, 775 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: huge factor. Without him last week against the Chargers, you 776 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: could see the offense kind of sag and take a hit. 777 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: It was very everything short, nothing big and deep. If 778 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: you go back to that Seattle game with John Brown 779 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 1: on the field, they're getting chunks. You gotta respect his 780 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: speed deep and you really don't have to dig. This 781 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: is a short guy. And and Beasley likes the short 782 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: out patterns and if they're unable to run against the Niners, 783 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 1: uh and the Rams had some struggles can't make us. 784 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 1: Had a nice game, but ultimately, you know, a ninety 785 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: yard rushing game for the Bills is not gonna cut 786 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: it here. They're gonna need a big run game. They 787 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: had like a buck seventy five last week against the Chargers. 788 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: They're gonna need that and the defense to produce the 789 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,760 Speaker 1: wild card here is Nick Mullins. I have been bullish 790 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: on Mullins as a backup since we saw him fill 791 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: in for Jimmy g two years ago. Okay, earlier this year. 792 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,760 Speaker 1: If you remember the Island game him against the Eagles, 793 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: he was terrible. He got benched for a pick six, 794 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: and I took a lot of heat. Everybody's like, oh, 795 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: you got Nick Mullins, Jason, he stinks well. Nick Mullins 796 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: has settled down, and with Kyle Shanahan designing place, Mullins 797 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,880 Speaker 1: is getting it done. Um. I think Mullins gets a 798 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: job done here. Remember this is a Bill's defense all 799 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: season that has been very weak. I like the Niners 800 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: favored by one, So doubling up tonight on the best bet. 801 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,320 Speaker 1: We got Washington at eight and a half again is 802 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: down at seven. You want to take it. You're not 803 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: getting the best number maybe you want to tease Pittsburgh 804 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: and whoever you like in forty Niners bills. But I 805 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: got the Niners by one and Washington getting eight and 806 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: a half. That's it for today. We'll see you guys 807 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: tomorrow
