What is up? Bullies? Hey Dan? 5 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: Another Sunday in the books. My only goal with the 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: show is too when they come out of the head 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: shots that you look at if you're watching the YouTube version, 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: head shots, to absolutely duplicate the smarmie look on my 9 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: face in the photo that I for some reason picked 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: this mighty shot. It's a it's a tough, smarmy a hole, 11 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: that's what I look like. It's like, the what we 12 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: don't want people to think of our show is basically 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: with the opening credits of our YouTube show, say, look 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: at these guys, these mediocre whites. Don't buy into anything 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: they're about to say. In fact, tune out and go 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: find something better. It pitches that, well, how's everybody doing? 17 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: I was doing great until you just hold my career 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: down the river and these guys didn't work. Yeah, you 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: know those head shots. You know, you can only make 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: a headshot as good as what you got to work with. 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: You know. I blame myself in studio action poses. I've 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: been pushing this internally and it will happen one day. 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: Um all right, it is the Sunday of week five. 24 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: So much to get to. Um and Greg you said it, 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: and I think we all feel the same. You said 26 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: it on Twitter. Kind of miss the Lions today. Oh yeah, 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: I think everyone around the country has been thinking that. 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: It's like, you know what that ten games slate needed 29 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: at ten am Pacific, A little Lions. A bit of 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: a weird week because you missed the Lions. Some strange 31 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: outcomes in games. You have Tony Romo and Nance doing 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: the the windless Broncos against the Charger. Maybe did Romo 33 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: have like a golf invitational outside or something like the 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: Glendale Invitational and he's like, this is where we're going. 35 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: He's pulling power plays and you're the honest hill for 36 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: you to stand to top and to try to defend 37 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: that he does not care about his job. Not enough. 38 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to be a golfer, be 39 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: a golfer. That's my stand on this. Get you like 40 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: an ESPN morning show with another time. I'm not the 41 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: only one that should have takes so far. What does 42 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: it end zero for? The rest of the group was 43 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: the other fire take the mediocre white head shots. What 44 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: if he just wanted to go bowling today instead of 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: announcing football? Would that be okay? That would be fine 46 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: because it would be just a leisure activity. Listen, that 47 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: will save that for another conversation. Maybe, uh, Tuesday show. 48 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: In fact, when we next when you next hear from 49 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: us on Tuesday, we're gonna be in London. We're gonna 50 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: be there all week ahead of Bucks. Panthers will also 51 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: be at that game at Tottenham Stadium, so we're really 52 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: excited about that. So since we're heading to London, why 53 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: don't we start the week five recap with the first 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: game of the season played in London was at Wembley Stadium, 55 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: and yes, an upset right out of the gate. Let's 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: get to it. This will be a second down and 57 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: ten for the Bears from the Raiders forty six yard line, 58 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: and here's chased back into the gun. He's hit on 59 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: the release up in the air. There's something picks up 60 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: b con Con He's got it. Hey, you go down inbound. 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: Keep the clock running. The Bears last use the time out. 62 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: The second interception of the game. Brent Musburger with the 63 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: call k CBS. Chase Daniel, listen to this music. By 64 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: the way, I got another hot take. Shadowy league figures 65 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: in this building, no backbone at all, decide to strip 66 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: us of our glorious primetime music with this generic slop. 67 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: You got me with that hot take. I mean, listen 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: to this turn it up, Nobile? Are you kidding me? 69 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: What a travesty? Anyway? Chase Daniel? What did you do? 70 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: The Bears backup QB airmail to pass with Chicago nearing 71 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: field goal range, the interception of Dagger for the Raiders 72 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: stunning on Sunday night at Wembley. How about that? A 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: great game in England? Cheers anyway, Daniel blew Itt, But 74 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: not before the Bears d blew it first on Oakland's 75 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: final drive. Mark Sessler. Yeah, I mean, if you told 76 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: me coming out of this matchup and what I would 77 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: have thought of it going in and what I watched 78 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: from the Bears, not only last week, but going back 79 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: to last season, that one of these defenses would have 80 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: come out of this game with no sacks and no picks, 81 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: and it would have been the Bears and not the Raiders. 82 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: Where it was the Raiders defense that hassel Chase Daniel. 83 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: I get that he's a backup, but he's also you 84 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: can't say that, and also pitched this line, Oh, he 85 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: knows Matt Nagy's offense. He's intimately familiar with this playbook, 86 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: and he's a veteran and he does good things here 87 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: and there when you get the game he had, which 88 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: was two killer picks, and I thought the issue here 89 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: was was Oakland Josh Jacobs on the ground and Derek 90 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: Bard doing Josh Jacobs is the real thing. Four point 91 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: seven yards per carry, a hundred and twenty three on 92 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: the ground, did through the air, and you got to 93 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: remember that Derek Carr is working with guys like Foster 94 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: Moreau and Trevor Davis, and they to me looked like 95 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: the offense that had a little bit more going. They 96 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: weren't perfect, but I'm a little worried about the Bears offense, 97 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: as I have been all season long, because to me, 98 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: in a game like this, they felt formless and they 99 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: need their defense to pile up turnovers and probably points 100 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: to get out of this season with anything more than 101 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: a wild card entry at best. Seventeen nothing lead for 102 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: the Raiders at the half, Chicago scores twenty one straight 103 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: to take the lead. Uh. And what follows is and 104 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: Greg it was the biggest shock of the game. Once 105 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: they get in the lead, I think everyone kind of thinks, oh, 106 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: it's over. Thirteen plays nineties seven yards uh in two 107 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: minutes of clock time. That's an unbelievable letdown by Chicago. 108 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: It's it's an unbelievable drive. Thirteen played drive that you 109 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: go ninety seven yards on the Bears defense to win 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: the game in London, one drive after they actually had 111 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: the ball inside the Bears five yard line and fumbled 112 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: it early in the fourth quarter there down three. At 113 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: that point, you figure there's no way they're winning that 114 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: game at that point, but their defense got the ball back. 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: They were the better team throughout the day. You have 116 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: the Bears defense made a couple of plays. You mentioned 117 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: the Bears offense is gonna need that. I mean, that's 118 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: the only reason the Bears were even in this game 119 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: is that two of their drive touchdown drives were sixteen 120 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: yards are less because they had such good field position, 121 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: because their defense set them up. The Raiders game three 122 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: under nine yards on this game, the Bears had two 123 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: thirty six like, I gotta give John Gruden some credit. 124 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm just shocked because when you watch when I watched 125 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: this team against the Colts, and when I thought, I 126 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: thought even stronger that they're not going to be competitive 127 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: in this Let's just think they're so lucky. Let's hear 128 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: from John Gruden, who, as you know, by the way, 129 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: this was supposed to be the game where the Bears 130 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: rubbing and Gruden's face the Khalil Mac. Where's Kalil Mack 131 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: in this game when they when they need a big play? 132 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: Gruden feeling good talking to the players after the game. 133 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: I have a news going here. I have a disco. 134 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: Let's all start dancing. I say, this, man, a fifty 135 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: six years old. That's the most fun I've ever had 136 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: to night. I'm so proud of you. Yeah, no idea. 137 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we've been through a roller coaster already. But 138 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: once you prove today is one thing you can feed 139 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: anybody anywhere. Why I'm I think one of the biggest 140 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: surprises in the NFL is the Raiders offensive line. I 141 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: spent the offseason thinking they were gonna be terrible, and 142 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: they have been one of the best and maybe the 143 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: best unit on this team, and just from the comments 144 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: I was seeing on Twitter, it sounds like they imposed 145 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: their will on the Bears and even bullied them a 146 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: little bit. They they did, they played a great game 147 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: and and you know the defense made a player too 148 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: Tariko and doesn't have a massive punt return. I don't 149 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: think the Raiders are even in this game, and that 150 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of the formula last year 151 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: where they needed something big to happen on special teams 152 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: combined with defensive chaos, and when you don't get it, 153 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: you get this game. But I don't come out of 154 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: this just looking at Chicago's mistakes. The Raiders deserve some 155 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: credit for going into I think anyone winning a London 156 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: game that's extra level because it's you don't know how 157 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: to manage that week. It's not you're not doing the 158 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: same thing. And we know the Raiders typically are a 159 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: house on fire and all the wrong ways when they 160 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: travel east, but they traveled farther east this time and 161 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: took care of Chicago. I I thought this would have 162 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: been like thirty one to seven Bears and and back 163 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: to John Gruden. I mean, this is this is another 164 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: popular offseason punching bag through five games, and now they 165 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: head into their by three and two with signature wins 166 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: in here, a great division win to open the season, uh, 167 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: the win last week in Indy, which was an excellent win, 168 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: and now of course beating a Bears team that a 169 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: lot of people see see as an NFC favorite. No 170 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: one expected this, No, we were talking two weeks ago, 171 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: is Derek are gonna, you know, be back with this team. 172 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: The thing is Car helps that offensive line look better 173 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: in pass protection because he gets rid of the ball 174 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: so quickly. And they're a good run blocking team, and 175 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: Trent Brown has been worth the money. They have the 176 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: best center one of them and Rodney Hudson, who they 177 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: may act made sure to pay before this year. And 178 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: then the league is a little more fun with the 179 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: frisky Raiders team. And frankly, the Bears hadn't played that 180 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: well enough in the first five weeks to be a 181 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: four and one team. They they seem like a three 182 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: and two team that feels well. I would say I 183 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: might have been a little I might be a little 184 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: hard on Car to say keep saying I'm not sure 185 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: if he's on this team next year, but he's not 186 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: the reason they won this game. Derek Carr was fine. 187 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: He was super well protected from very steady LEA boring 188 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: one question on the film, it looked like we saw 189 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: a pretty gruesome Achem Hicks elbow injury, one of the 190 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: best players in the Bears team. Did you get the 191 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: sense this could be a season ender? I mean, it 192 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: looks I agree with you. I need to see what 193 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: the test show. But it was doctor, you know I 194 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: it's not good when it's dangling on the side. I 195 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: dialed up. I dialed up Dr Chow in between the 196 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: space from Packers Cowboys to the start of the show, 197 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: and he's it's not picking up my calls. He was 198 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: very busy talking to Silva's got Chow on the speed dial. 199 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: They talked toys a day. According to a little inside 200 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: joke there. All right, let us move on from this 201 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: shotgun snap Rogers second down holding left for the Tucks 202 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: down TA touchdown run in the interior of the Green 203 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: Bay line opened up a hole at Aaron Jones went 204 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: farling through Billy Turner and Ryan Blaga to two key blocks. 205 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Joe ran Rick between them, love It, Wayne Larvy 206 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: and Larry mccaren of the Packers Radio Network it's talking 207 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: about going to a disco. Here we go, It's gotta slaps, 208 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: here we go. Aaron Rodgers is unbeatable at a T 209 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: and T stadium, but it helps have friends. Aaron Jones 210 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: scored four touchdowns and Mike Petton's defense uh force Dak 211 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: Prescott into three interceptions. In the end, it was a 212 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty four win for the Packers. Rogers 213 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: is now five and oh since Gerald World opened in 214 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: two thousand nine, and the Packers are four and one 215 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: and all alone in first place in the NFC North. 216 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: I know the Packers and we all had an eye 217 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: on this one because there was only two late games. 218 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: The Packers surprised this whole room because we all felt 219 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: pretty good about um Dallas's chance in this game. But 220 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: from the jump, Green Bay was in control. I'm impressed 221 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is just playing like he did three 222 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: years ago, and I think maybe that should have been 223 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: a bigger takeaway from the Eagles game that just, hey, 224 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is bawling again. I know the final numbers 225 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: don't look crazy impressive, but some of the passes that 226 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: he made in the first half were those classic Aaron 227 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: Rodgers throws where he's making Robert Tanyan look good, and 228 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: he's doing it without Davante Adams. I'm not saying Tanya 229 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: didn't make I like Tanya right now, but when Rogers 230 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: is making those beautiful places, he makes you believe anything 231 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: is possible. He said after the game, it was his 232 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: best game of the year, and he doesn't care about 233 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: stats anymore. All he wants to do is win. He 234 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: doesn't care how anybody thinks. He knew this was his 235 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: best game. Well, I know, and there was there was jawing, 236 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, forget more like discussion between Aaron Rodgers and 237 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: Matt the flower Head coach during the game, and we 238 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: we brought it up a few times so they would 239 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: keep cutting away to that, and it looked like there 240 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: was a little bit of tension here and there. I think, 241 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: if we're allowed all these other teams to figure out 242 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: who they are, this is Aaron Rodgers in a new 243 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: offense for the first time in a zillion years, And 244 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: if you take away a red zone collapse against the Eagles, 245 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: the narrative around this team over the last two weeks 246 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: and what they produced is a little bit different. What 247 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: bothered me a little bit. They've got up real big 248 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: early and then they were struggling to kind of hang 249 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: on to this lead, but they're on the road. It 250 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: was a little clunky the close out, but ultimately it 251 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: didn't really hurt them, and that's why they had it 252 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: just made the game four and a half hour had 253 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: it had several possessions that were fruitless, that featured some 254 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: big losses, and then they would cut straight back to 255 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: La Floura and Rodgers looking mildly annoyed about. It's really 256 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: the body language that is fascinating about the two of them. 257 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: It's always something to keep an eye. It just feels 258 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: like La Fleur is, you know, trying to impress him 259 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: or trying to convince him of a point that Rogers 260 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: is not agreeing with. And so it's just kind of 261 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: fun a little brother trying to convince big brother he's cool, 262 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: except one of them is the head coach. I don't 263 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: think we can expect much more out of them in 264 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: the second half when Davontae Adams isn't playing, Jamal Williams 265 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: isn't there, and Aaron Jones had another great game. It 266 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: makes you in between that that Eagles game where they 267 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't give him the ball on the goal line. It 268 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: makes you even question that more. He has four tds 269 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: today and he looked like a goal line monster before this. 270 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 1: What is your an eight two yards from scrimmage? I 271 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: mean he stepped up in a game that they needed 272 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: a playmaker and he made plays on his own. He 273 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: made Layton Vanderesh look bad a couple of times, and 274 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: you do not see that to him. He averaged five 275 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: points six yards for carrying this game, and he had 276 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: a ten yard lost on a run late in the 277 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Um Dak Prescott had a very strange game 278 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: because he threw three interceptions. Some of them were really 279 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: bad interceptions, I mean passes that left you scratch in 280 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: your head. You saw Jared Jones up in the box 281 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: after I believe the third pick, showing a lot of 282 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: anger and fresh stration. But he also threw for four 283 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: d sixty three yards and had some gorgeous dime shots 284 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: in the game. So it was an odd Press Scott performance. 285 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 1: But Jason Garrett slammed that flag down in front of 286 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: the raft and got a fifteen yard penalty. And after 287 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: the game, Jerry Jones was asked about the referee and 288 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: in Jason Garrett's abusive language, his quote was, oh I 289 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: hope the little darlin didn't hear something he hadn't heard before. Well, 290 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: I think he did, and they made it clear it 291 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: was whatever came out of Garrett's not Darius Smith in 292 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: this clearly playing through. I think it was a knee 293 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: injury down on the field two or three times in 294 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: this game for extended periods. What a what a performance. 295 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: I think the Petton defensive performance gets a little bit 296 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: lost because of the fireworks at the end. But Petton 297 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: has been absolutely great for this and he finally has 298 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback on offense, which he never had with the 299 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: Jets or Browns, a bunch of absolute non starters at 300 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: the position forever and za Darius Smith, and he's got 301 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: certain guys on defense that are absolutely tearing it up. 302 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: They had a few injuries today though they had. The 303 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys also lost Lyle Collins and so they didn't have 304 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: Tyrone Smith starting. So there they have two tackles, including 305 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: Cam Fleming, who really shouldn't be starters in the NFL. 306 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: That's in something to keep an eye on, especially Collins, 307 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: who's maybe been the best right tackle in the league. 308 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: Dallas out gained Green Bay five sixty three to three 309 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: thirty five. So don't always um judge a game just 310 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: by the stats, but it doesn't. But it was even 311 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: the half, and it was seven days. The Cowboys moved 312 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: the ball, that wasn't the problem. They just kept on 313 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: shooting themselves in the foot. Amari Cooper eleven for two 314 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. One of those was kind of a 315 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: garbage time touchdown, but that wasn't the It was a 316 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: strange game. And I'm trying to figure out now, West, 317 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: because I know you were big on Cowboys corner a 318 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, after that narrow lost last Sunday 319 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: night against New Orleans and then this pretty much stinker 320 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: performance at home against an underman Packers team. Where do 321 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: you stand on them right now? The Cowboys, I'm confused. 322 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: I'll need to watch this game. I was marine the 323 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: Broncos Chargers games, so I don't know exactly what happened, 324 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: but I did notice that a lot of people were 325 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: jumping on Kellen Moore in the first half and using 326 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: the word genius in quotation. Mark already. This was this 327 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: was anything that can go wrong went wrong type of 328 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: game that I know we have the cornered animal game. 329 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: Is that that too long of a name? It was 330 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: like Amari Cooper dropped. Oh, there's an easy term for this, 331 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: the Murphy's Law game. Right, it's a Murphy's Law game. 332 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: Early in the first half day, it's not like they 333 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: looked like the inferior team. There were just a few 334 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: plays like a Marie Cooper had a ball thrown slightly 335 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: behind him that he dropped and that turns into an 336 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: intercepted pops right, but up and turn into an interception. 337 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: And there was a lot of plays like that where 338 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: it's not like the Cowboys looked like a vastly inferior 339 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: I think they're learning to be a team that doesn't 340 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: channel almost directly through Ezekiel Elliott four straight quarters, which 341 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: has been the case for the past three years. That's 342 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: not the team they are right now in offense. All right, 343 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: that's a nice NFC rivalry. Like my official stance on 344 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, they're too talented to miss the playoffs, all right, 345 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: and check in Tuesday from London, where west will give 346 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: you more insight on his beloved America's team. More like Westlings, 347 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: it's got a lot of teams beloved is a stretch. 348 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: Oh no, he's bailing. No, I'm not bailing. I enjoy 349 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: watching them. I don't really, none of the teams are beloved. 350 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: Check out a great a f C rivalry this in 351 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: the North and here comes Justin Tucker for what will 352 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: be a forty six yard field goal attempt to win 353 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: the game in overtime. Snap is good, chick on the way, 354 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: it is long enough, and it is good Justin Tucker 355 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: with a barn. And as if the rest of the 356 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: day wasn't close enough, that kick was hooking to the left, 357 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: looked like it would say a wide left, and at 358 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: the last minute they did right back in between the 359 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: op rights and the Ravens win it today in Pittsburgh 360 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: twenty six to three. Jerry Sandusky with the call for 361 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: w B A L West. You know, the more I 362 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: think about that, I bet Tucker did that on purpose. 363 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: He has that ability. Who are we to question the 364 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: means of Justin Tucky said, let me get seventy thousand 365 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: fans to get their hopes up in hines Field and 366 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,719 Speaker 1: then have that thing hook in at the last second. Anyway, 367 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: the goat Justin Tucker top to forty six yard or 368 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: inside the left, upright and overtime, giving the Ravens win 369 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: over the Steelers at Hines Field, A killer loss for 370 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh who followed one and four and Baltimore UM improves 371 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: the three and two UM West, What did you learn 372 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: from these two teams on Sunday? The Steelers still don't 373 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: trust their offense, and that's been the case since Big 374 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: Ben went down UM, and it's really bitten them a 375 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: little bit. I think two situations in this game really 376 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: point out the first one, UM more wild catching anigans. 377 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: I feel like they've fallen too hard in love with 378 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: their own creativity. The coaching staff Jalen Samuel's through an 379 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: interception deep in Pittsburgh's own territory. The Ravens went and 380 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: converted that for an easy touchdown. Lamar Jackson threw a 381 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: pair of interceptions in his own territory and Mason Rudolph 382 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: was only able to get field goals out of those. 383 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: And then the other thing was in overtime. I think 384 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: it was like the sixteenth time since the nineteen sixties 385 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: and a coach won the coin toss and elected to 386 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: put his defense on the field, and that was Mike 387 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: Tomlin defense did great stuffed mark Ingram then sacked Lamar Jackson, 388 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: then held on third down, forced to punt. Second play 389 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: of the Steelers drive. Marlon Humphrey great play to punch 390 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: the ball out of Juju Smith Schuster's hands. And you 391 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: know the pro late spheroid bounce is funny. You can't 392 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: control it. And uh, Devlin Hodges who came onto quarterback 393 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: was too busy boxing out the defender and didn't fall 394 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: on the ball. Yeah. I would have quite called a 395 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: Cam Newton in Super Bowl fifty moment for young Devlon, 396 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: but uh, it showed maybe a lack of awareness in 397 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: the moment that go get that football. The ball was 398 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: bouncing in one direction and then it changed directions that 399 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: both teams right that he seem more occupied by the 400 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: opponent near him than going after the ball. But you 401 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: know what, it's moving very fast the game. Let's not 402 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: get out Devilon Hodges in the game. Because Mason Rudolph 403 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: lest suffer is one of the scarier head injuries you'll see. Uh, 404 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: you want to dig in on that a little bit. 405 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph got hit by Earl Thomas on what I 406 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: thought was his best play of the of the game, 407 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolf's best play to avoid pressure and pick up 408 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: a third down to James Washington, and then Washington was 409 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: injured UH and was lost for the game. So both 410 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 1: those guys got injured. UH. Devil and Hodges came in 411 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: um and looked pretty poised. There was one play where 412 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: his arm strength limitation showed up. He was throwing off 413 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: one ft on the run, fairly deep down the field 414 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: and just couldn't put any mustard on it. Earl Thomas 415 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: picked it off and it was called back on a 416 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: defensive holding, but it was a little worrisome the lack 417 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: of arm strength on the throw. UM. I thought he 418 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: played about as well as you could expect an undrafted 419 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: rookie to play. He's an undrafted rookie from Sandford. Who 420 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be uh called the next Sunday Night on 421 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: NBC by Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth and less Mason. 422 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: It's too late now. I told them a week ago, 423 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: why what is up of these self? And post deadlines? 424 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: Pushed the deadline they at Devlin Hodges rule. Let the 425 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: records show he immediately came in and with the aid 426 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: of one bag call, and another questionable call let a 427 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: touchdown drive and to go ahead touchdown drive for the 428 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: first lead of the day. Then the next drive let 429 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: a field goal drive featuring his own twenty one yard scramble. Right, 430 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: the offense, you know, probably isn't going to get that 431 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: much worse because what they had eleven or twelve drives 432 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: and they had two hundred and sixty nine yards in 433 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: the game, So neither team moved the ball at all 434 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: despite the score being looking normal, and this this sound. 435 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: It looks like a game dominated by defense, kind of 436 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: like you'd expect old Ravens Steelers games to be. I 437 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: I come out a little concern about but we're not 438 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: gonna find out next week because they play the Bengals, 439 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they can course correct for a week 440 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: at least. But Lamar Jackson five picks, I know they're 441 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: not all on him. There were some weird ball bouncing 442 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: or in business today. Three pick but today and two 443 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: last weeks week and nine sacks because it's the protection 444 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: breaking down, forcing him into some weird throws and stuff 445 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: that I know. They beat up rough and tumble, ugly 446 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: teams early, but they're not a team that's also doing 447 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: the thing they did late last year where they're running 448 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: for two d and twenty eight yards again and out 449 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: physically knew they're trying to do both now and it's 450 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: not really working out well. A couple of things. The 451 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: Steelers defense, I think they're gonna sack a lot of 452 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks five. Um, they get after it that defensive line. 453 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: But it's the second week in a row where Lamar 454 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: Jackson ran into some sacks. He likes to run around 455 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: and do figure eights in the backfield because he's explosive 456 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: enough to turn those into big plays. Um. But they 457 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: might have to go back to the drawing board a 458 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: little bit. I will say though, that you got the 459 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: sense during this entire game that the Ravens trusted their 460 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: offense and they can run guys over once in a 461 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: while and they can move the sticks, whereas with the 462 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: Steelers it just feels like it's band aid after band 463 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: aid after band aid. I would say, now five weeks 464 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: into the season, the a f C. North is so 465 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: much different, um than I thought it would be, because 466 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: you have the Steelers are more or less dead in 467 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: the water now at and four on their third quarterback. 468 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: There's no coming back from that, most likely Cincinnati's one 469 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: of the worst teams in football. The Ravens clearly at 470 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: flaws we talked about going into this game, their issues 471 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: on defense. It's hard to get a gauge on how 472 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: much better the defense is when facing They lost starting 473 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: safety Tony Jefferson to an a c L injury. Right 474 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: he's done for the season. That's going to really hurt them. 475 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: They just seem to be a team that's that can 476 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: have good weeks and very bad weeks. Leaves the door 477 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: open for the Browns market. I think the game on 478 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: Monday night, if the Browns ball out against San Francisco, 479 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: the talk of the league in terms of this division 480 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: is that this is the Browns Division. Well, I mean, 481 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: it's so unusual because the f C North usually puts 482 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: up two or three major blockades to one of the 483 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: third teams trying to get into the postseason. I think 484 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: I vowed in August the three teams from the North 485 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: would make the playoffs. So just another listen, not to 486 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: another reminder a single thing that I say. Ever, basically, uh, 487 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: that Rudolph injury was scary. One of the scary Whenever 488 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: they're taking the face mask off, and there's they were. 489 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: They were claiming it a big victory that he was 490 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: walking They were charcause when you take the face mask off, 491 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: which never happens, and you're walking off under kind of 492 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: under your own power, you actually see in his face 493 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: that he did not know where he was that was there. Well, 494 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: he was his hit. He was down on the ground 495 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: unconscious for a while. The Dolphins are at home watching 496 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: that Tucker kick go in, though, and they're they're celebrating. 497 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: They're like, we got two picks in the top five 498 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: right now, Ami Dolphins or a team that may come 499 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: steal the number one pick. Watch out my Jets, by 500 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: the way, and we'll get to them. Let's move on. 501 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: Jets are coming out, rushing seven others back inside the 502 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: five yard line. Here we go. Mintu in trouble, Addison 503 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: chasing Addison. Still give me Chase, Minshu reversed his out, 504 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: Minshu throw short of the goal line. Keepy taps it away, 505 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: no flax, and the Carolina Panthers on Hall of Honor 506 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: Weekend survive Jacksonville to go to three inch Mick mix 507 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: and Panther's radio network with the call Gardner. Minshew got 508 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: three shots at a inspiration. He even the final seconds 509 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: each prayer unanswered, and the Panthers win over the Jackson 510 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: Charlotte two stars carried the day from Carolina Christian McCaffrey, 511 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: who tied a career high with two thirty seven yards 512 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,959 Speaker 1: from scrimmage of three touchdowns, and Brian Burns, who returned 513 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: to FUM both fifty six yards for a TV and 514 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: a strip sack of Minshew. Quite a three week stretch 515 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: for the suddenly three and two Panthers a sizzler. Well, 516 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean by ad like, Okay, 517 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: I agree this game. If you went in thinking here 518 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: are four or five things I think I'm gonna see, 519 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: I think you saw all of them. And you mentioned 520 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: something that Christian McCaffrey is the most interesting, complete electric 521 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: football player out there right now. Put some respect on 522 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: his name. Who isn't anyone him? Jim Brown and O. J. 523 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: Simpson have the most yards from scrimmage in the first 524 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: five games in NFL. And you know what's coming because 525 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: let's called him a poor man's album, Kamara. That was 526 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: a regrettable thing. He's not anyone's for me. I'd take 527 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: all of Carolina's You know, hatred and tomatoes and whatever 528 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: you want. That was bad. I think he was a 529 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl snub last year, if I'm not mistaken, and 530 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: and so at this point, he's everything you could award wise, 531 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: you could hand out, and he just what he does 532 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: physically is it's not just compiling numbers. He's he's just 533 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: magical as an athlete. And aren't that many guys that 534 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: get me excited from that angle at this point after 535 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: watching a billion games, But he does what he's like 536 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: doing things, and that that touchdown they just showed is 537 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: another example. I think the Panthers defense you can count 538 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: on now to make game changing plays and amp up 539 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: an offense that does have a backup quarterback in there. 540 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: Burns is a rookie defensive Rookie of the Year candidate 541 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: if he's not the lead right now at this point, 542 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: dude has been doing this since the preseason. And you 543 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: also got Gardner Minshew connecting with DJ Shark, which he's 544 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: been telling you he's gonna do week after week all 545 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: season long. Chark is a star in the making, and 546 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: they got that last minute magic or would be magic 547 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: from Minshew and they came very close to tying a 548 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: game thanks to a missed extra point by the Panthers. 549 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: And I know that this hurts if you're two and three, 550 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: if you're Jacksonville, but you just get the sense that 551 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: both of these teams are gonna be knocking on the 552 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: door and playing games in weeks sixteen, maybe even week 553 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: seventeen that have January implications because they both for all 554 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: their injured players and weaknesses, refused to die. And I 555 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: we mentioned this on sky. I don't know what you 556 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: do if you're Jacksonville when Nick Foles is available because 557 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: this quarterback that's fine. But I'm just saying, as it 558 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: is a lifetime in the NFL, it is, well, it is. 559 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: But we talked about we talked about a billion things 560 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: that that are down the road, and I think that 561 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: that you've just found it the best rookie quarterback of 562 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: the group at the moment. I think I believe that 563 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: you have to stick with him. If he keeps playing well, 564 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: you have to stick with him. And I thought it 565 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: was interesting after the game one of their beat writers, 566 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: I hope I'm saying his name correctly, car Lyon hayes Um. 567 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: Someone asked him, is is Gardner minshewa franchise quarterback in 568 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: your eyes, and he said, yes, I think the way 569 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: he's played right now if he maintains that where he's 570 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: avoiding mistakes, unlike Kyle Allen, who you know, continued to 571 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 1: have some interceptions in this game or lost fumbles. Rather, 572 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: the Panthers just need to get to Cam Newton in 573 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: decent shape. They they're winning games. I don't think there's 574 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: certainly not going to be any quarterback controversy. But it's 575 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: pretty amazing who they played without today. I mean, they 576 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: didn't have Trade Turner, he's an All Pro guard. They 577 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: didn't have their former m v P and Newton. They 578 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,239 Speaker 1: didn't have their best defensive player in KK Short. They 579 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: didn't have left tackle okay, sorry, my best, their second, 580 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: their second best defensive player. They didn't have their left 581 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: tackle and Greg Little. They you know, they're they're missing 582 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: a lot of that team and they're winning games. If 583 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: this is a tired conversation in any sport, but like, well, 584 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: what is a movie? What does m VP mean most 585 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: valuable player? Well, in that case, well, in that case 586 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, this team is oh and five without mc affrey. 587 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: I don't need to circle back to him. But I 588 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: just I'm just so blown away by how incredibly has 589 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: been because Kyle Allen is excited as we got after 590 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: his first start, is very much regrets at this point, 591 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: McCaffrey is absolutely carrying this team while Newton recuperates. And 592 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: if if the Panthers do take this into January and 593 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: they have a nice January run, we can't forget what 594 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: McCaffrey did to save their season at this point, because 595 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: I think there's nothing less than that. Not to sell 596 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: their defense short, which has come out as well. But 597 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: I really think McCaffrey has been an absolute godsend revelation. 598 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: I guess you'd worry a little bit about his workload 599 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: because you had to seven touches last week and they lent. 600 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: They lean on him again this week about as hard 601 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: as you can and he and he was banged up 602 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. And just to point 603 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: out that Minshew had two bad fumbles in this one 604 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: return for a touchdown. He hasn't been perfect but from 605 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: but throwing the ball once it gets out of his 606 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: hands nine touchdowns in one pick this season. Also, he 607 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: also threw one right to Bradberry on the last drive 608 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: that should have been caught. But that okay, But I 609 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: mean it's just that it's not perfect. All these other 610 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: rookies are. I mean that, you know, making mistakes. Panthers 611 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: use your backups. You know, McCaffrey, he had what cramps 612 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: in this game at the end, and so you brought 613 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: in bonifin and he runs for fifty nine yards on 614 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: one play and he gets five for eight in the 615 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: touch It's like backup running backs can succeed behind a 616 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: really good run blocking offensive line, which I think the 617 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: Panthers are on their best days. Is Jalen Rams are 618 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: gonna play next week. I don't care anymore and not 619 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: you know what I think that locker room, well that 620 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: you know what their front office should care and all that, 621 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: but the players have something else to focus on at 622 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: this point. That sounds cliche, but it's like, forget Jalen Rams. 623 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: You get on the field or not totally. I don't 624 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: know how bang uppy is, but let's move on. Three. 625 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: By shooting the near side, Bridgewater takes a gun, snap 626 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: cock Mike Thomas at the five Bridge wanna tackle parts 627 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: into the end zone. Mike Thomas touch down. I told 628 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: you that was too little man little, he can't go. 629 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: He can't Taplin and that was another that the safety 630 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: didn't have a shot at him at firstment he was 631 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: not big enough. Mike Thomas playing like your grown man 632 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: today ten catch, two touchdowns and SATs lead at thirty 633 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: one seventeen. Allow some huge games today. In the NFL 634 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: Zax streep and deuce McAllister with a nice call there 635 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: Saints Radio Network. Teddy Bridgewater passed for yards and four touchdowns, 636 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: including that game ice in connection with Michael Thomas. In 637 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thirty 638 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: one to twenty four. Bridgewater is now three and oh 639 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: as the Saints starter and greg this is the first 640 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: game you could say he was the main driver behind 641 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: the victory. He was. Although it's it's tough to pick 642 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: which Saints group played best in this game because they dominated. 643 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: This was as their best game of the season, by 644 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: far their most complete game of this season. The score 645 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: couldn't be more misleading. It was one way traffic. You know, 646 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: Teddy's going deep and Jamis Winston can't go deep. He shook. 647 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: We know box scores and stats lie sometimes. This was 648 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: a one score game at the end, it was four 649 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: D fifty seven to a hundred and seventy four yards 650 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: before garbage time touchdown drive by the Bucks. Jamis Winston 651 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: numbers in the box score looked pretty good. It was 652 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: one of his worst games. He could have had five interceptions. 653 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: He was hesitant, He was shook early because his past 654 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: protection that he had last week in Los Angeles was 655 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: nowhere to be found in The Saints defensive line just 656 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: ran up and down on them. Lattimore held Mike Evans 657 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: to a shutout. It was it was just a complete shutout. 658 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: No catches on three targets. He was across from him. 659 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,959 Speaker 1: I'm almost every snap of the entire game. And if 660 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: you're Saints fan, you gotta do feeling so good because 661 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: the breeze injuries weirdly helped them, just because now that 662 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: they're piling up wins, it's the rest of the team 663 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: has come together and shown what they can do, and 664 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: Teddy's gotten better every week. Yep, you Greg you mentioned 665 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: at the time of Drew brees Is injury that this 666 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: is the kind of challenge that will reinvigorate Sean Payton, 667 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: and it was a narrative and it's proven to be 668 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: a savvy take that he has been reinvigorated by this 669 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: and you I think you'd have to put him first. 670 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: And I mean it's early, but coach of the year material. 671 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: I think the Rams um You know, the Rams beat 672 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: the Saints this year. It's the only team that beat 673 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: the Rams. But I think the Saints are the clear 674 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: cut team of the NFC right now. I don't think 675 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: there's anybody close to him. And when Drew Brees gets back, 676 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: assuming the other pieces come together, this team looks as 677 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: locked in as any team you'll find at this time 678 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: of year. Now you have to carry that on through 679 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: deep into the season, but you don't get the vibe 680 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: is Seawan Payton team is gonna let down here? Right? 681 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: I think this is a train that's gonna keep rolling. 682 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: On the flip side, I mean, Bruce arians came out 683 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: of this who calling certain players on the roster soft 684 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: and he was secondary secondary, And yeah, this was the 685 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: game that made a believer in me out of Teddy Bridgewater. 686 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: In this offense, for the distance that he needs to go, 687 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: it's not obviously the best defense you face. But Michael 688 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: Thomas became a thing again where he was an absolute 689 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: deep threat. I just I wondered when the offense might 690 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: catch up to him with the way they were operating before. 691 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: So Alvin Kamar is a total star, and he can 692 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: takes fifteen screen passes a game and Mike mincemeat out 693 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: of the right defense. But it's much better to have 694 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: a vertical danger threat right. The key play of the 695 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: game for Teddy to me was a third intent. When 696 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: it was I believe twenty four to seventeen the Buccaneers 697 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: had scored to make it a one score game. He 698 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: had a third intent. He had pressure in his face 699 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 1: and he threw a dime on a deep out that 700 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: is not an easy pass to complete over the top 701 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: of a zone defense. And he made I would say, 702 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: four throws like that in the game. It's not like 703 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: he needed to make a ton of dazzling throws, but 704 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,760 Speaker 1: he made four really impressive throws. He made one mistake 705 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 1: on an interception that was thrown a little behind Kamara, 706 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: and Sean Payton called an amazing game. Taysom Hill was 707 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: more involved in this game. Uh, and it worked when 708 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill was in the game. You know what you 709 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: get next week? Up tick Teddy, who were all into 710 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: now against Gardner Minshew. So if I'm reading the room right, 711 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: you guys think the Saints are now like a thirty 712 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: point a week offense. No, I wouldn't. I think, just 713 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: get to this was one game. I don't even think 714 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: that you can expect that out of Drew Now. This 715 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: was one game where they hit everything well. I still 716 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: worry about the depth that it's Thomas Kamara and what else. 717 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: Jared Cook had made a couple of mistakes but also 718 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: made a couple of plays today for the first time. 719 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: They're but They're offensive line is really good and their 720 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: defensive line, which I really want to stress Davenport Jordan's 721 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: now that Rankins is back, Malcolm Brown is playing well 722 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: for them. I'm forgetting someone here, Trey Hendrickson. When he's 723 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: out there, they're as good as any defensive line in 724 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: the league right now. They shut down the run and 725 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: they get after it. And if if you're that good 726 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: upfront with Sean Payton and whoever, they're gonna be gold. 727 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: And Alvin Kamara hasn't even really gotten rolling yet. I 728 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: feel like this this is an offense that's gonna get funny. 729 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: We say that, and you're right, but he's like on 730 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: pace for eighteen hundred yards from scrimmage. Yeah, I guess 731 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: he hasn't had any like extreme McCaffrey type game the 732 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: Seattle Yeattle. Yeah, but that you're right, I'm with you. 733 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: Like they held him down and he still had a 734 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: hundred six yards all right, Let's head to the swamps 735 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: of Jersey. Cook two yards from scrimmage. Cousins back to path, 736 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: fires to the end zone and it's yes, touchdown Ada 737 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: a nine yard touchdown his second today, the second from 738 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: the arm of Kirk Cousins and Minnesota Leeds twenty four ten. 739 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: That is Paul Allen of Vikings Radio Network, not Paul Allen, 740 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: the murder victim in American Psycho. That would be wild. 741 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: That would be hard to achieve. Kirk Cousins threw two 742 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: touchdowns to Adam Feeling. That was Jared Leto's character in 743 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 1: the film Just Well rewatch on that Please tell further 744 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 1: into it. Kirk Cousins threw two touchdowns to Adam DeLand 745 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: Delvin Cook. David Cook had more than two hundred yards 746 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: of total offense and the Vikings humbled Giants rookie Daniel 747 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: Jones victory h Yeah, Jones is probably pretty humble guy actually, 748 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: so I don't know if he was humbled, but it 749 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: was a reminder or maybe a first lesson that um 750 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: being a quarterback at the highest level, it's gonna be 751 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: bad days. Everybody has them. This was jones first bad game. 752 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins um apologize to Adam Feeling on a podcast 753 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: this week that was still pretty weird. We didn't really 754 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 1: delve into that as much as we probably should have. 755 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 1: Like podcast, it's like kicking it. That's also weird person. 756 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: But anyway, like and that's you know, that's the problem. 757 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: I know, lodged onto your radar, but it's just how 758 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: he operates. But action beats contrition, and he targeted his 759 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 1: number one boy, my number one boy, eight times. Theland 760 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: responded with seven catches for Buck thirty two t ds 761 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: and tens. The final um that featured a Vikings Dalvid 762 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: Cook fumble at the one yard line after he had 763 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 1: broken a long run when they were going in. It 764 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: featured a Vikings first and goal from the one where 765 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: they got held from to three points, and it also 766 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: the Vikings kneeling on the ball inside the Giants five 767 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: as the game ended. So this wasn't really even close 768 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: this game. The Vikings a team who caught a ton 769 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: of heat uh leading up to this game, and they're 770 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: still probably issues with this team. But what was that? 771 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: Who's that you hit the button? Hit the wrong button? 772 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: Apologies a human sound of cough. I mean it's it's good. 773 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: After six years of doing this, we're just looking for 774 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: new experiences. I have like a ninety nine point nine 775 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: percent successfully with the cough button. We got the other 776 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,439 Speaker 1: part of it today without looking. So you do cough 777 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: a lot, just a lot of coffee. But a long 778 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 1: time ago, are you still vaping? The vaping is very dangerous, 779 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: chemical marks, not a vapor. People are apparently dying from 780 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: reading articles that are quite suspicious chemical burns bro um. Anyway, 781 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: so it got the there are still issues, you imagine 782 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 1: in Minnesota in that locker room. Stefon Diggs who ended 783 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: up getting a big beefy fine this week for missing 784 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: practices and meetings. And he wasn't exactly a huge part 785 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: of this offense for four targets, three catches for forty four, 786 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: but you're getting feeling involved. Dalvin Cook a little bit 787 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: of a slappy ball ball game from me. He put 788 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: the ball on the ground twice, lost the fumble as 789 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: I said, but also again showed that he is just 790 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: basically when he gets in space, There's very few guys 791 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: who are as terrifying as him. And the Giants UH 792 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: defense playing very thin to the linebacker position and you 793 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: see that with great, wide open swaths of space. So 794 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: check this game out. They had almost five yards the 795 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: total offense Minnesota and they took the foot off the 796 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: pedal in the second half. UM so a very one 797 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: sided win. And my last point before I throw to 798 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: you guys is UH. And we talked about this west 799 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: on Sky Sports. Kirk Cousins and play action have been 800 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: that is a bread and butter. It should be for 801 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: this offense, but it hadn't been all season. But in 802 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: this game he went nuts with it, and you saw 803 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: how dangerous they can be when they sell the Dalblin 804 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 1: Cook aspect of the offense and then use their big 805 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 1: receivers UH and play action yardage almost matched all their 806 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: total up into Sunday with one game today. Well, I 807 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: think you know Kirk kept the Wolves at bay for 808 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: another week. Now he returns home to face the Eagles, 809 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: coming off a pair of impressive games and we have 810 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: said you trust in Kirk and the Vikings offense when 811 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: they're clearly the better team playing at home. I don't 812 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 1: know if they're clearly better than the one pm game 813 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: that no one's paying attention against the depleted defense, But 814 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, you can only play the team in front 815 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: of you. And he came out after this week and 816 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: he had more yards in the first half by far 817 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: than the Giants had the entire game. Dalvin Cook also 818 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 1: had more yards in this game than the Giants had 819 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,280 Speaker 1: the entire game. They had two d and eleven yards, 820 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: so it was a complete game from their entire team, 821 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: which is a veteran a veteran thing to do. There 822 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: too two and two teams entering this game, and yet 823 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: you know, as Dan said, they're they're really not close. 824 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: I think they're the team that's gonna make a fool 825 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: out of us week after week because we're gonna overreact. 826 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: In theory. They got players, though, so I'm not sure 827 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: about that because they have well okay, but I I 828 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 1: see them as an eight and eight team and they're 829 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: gonna do what they did last week, and then next 830 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: week they're gonna go have a breakdown when we're all 831 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: freaking out again. I'm never going to pick them to 832 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 1: lose at home. Well there. I still believe in them, 833 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 1: I really do. And what extent though, what to what limit? 834 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: And where do they think they could potentially win the division? 835 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: I think they have a chance to go to the 836 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: super Bowl? Why not If they don't, I don't buy this. 837 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: The first five games of your season winds up telling 838 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: you what they're gonna be. And what I see is 839 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: a lot of talent on this team and a lot 840 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: of people that have been together and they're not They 841 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: haven't hurt themselves with bad losses, so I think they're 842 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: a team that can change. It's a test very much 843 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: on my radar the issues internally, because if that is 844 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: festering in late September early October, if there is more drama, 845 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 1: if there's more struggles in the field, that could be 846 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,439 Speaker 1: something where the locker room blows apart. But I think 847 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: from a talent standpoint, I still think this is a 848 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: talented offense. I still think the defense is talented. We 849 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,439 Speaker 1: saw today, uh where Jones was just kind of never 850 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: comfortable in this game. They sacked him four times, hit 851 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: him a bunch more. He averaged less than five yards 852 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: per attempted the Danny dimes in the Gabbard zone. Uh so, 853 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: a nice game for the Vikings Cousins. Nice bounce back game. 854 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: But yes, let's see where they are next week, because 855 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: people will be watching up to the talent every week. 856 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's no one's questioning that they're talented players. 857 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: They're not terrible shape. I'm not I'm not saying I'm 858 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: not shooting them off Earth's surface into deep space. It's 859 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 1: just I'm allowed to look at a couple of these 860 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: teams with a suspicious eye versus shoving all of them 861 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: into the NFC title game. They're not all gonna make it, 862 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: of course. It's more just like whether we're ruling them 863 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,719 Speaker 1: out now, and I just don't see that that Wait, 864 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 1: the NFC North is tricky. Though all four teams are 865 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: above five after five weeks. You just don't see that 866 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 1: almost ever. And I don't think any of them are 867 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: flukey in terms of how they got to their records, 868 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very tricky to get out of. 869 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: That's beginning yang for the a F North. I operated 870 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: down on the ground. Let's move on Watson then, with 871 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,879 Speaker 1: two receivers, to left, Deshan gets the snap looking left, 872 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,280 Speaker 1: Watson throwing Tamfield and he's got Fuller across the fifty 873 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:25,799 Speaker 1: tap five rock and roll flucks down Will Fuller and 874 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: that seal stuff deal awesome. Love it, Mark vander me 875 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,359 Speaker 1: or one of my favorite calls from you that I've 876 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: ever heard. Sleep well, my friend. Deshaun Watson through for 877 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 1: a career high four six yards and tied his personal 878 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: best five touchdown passes, including three to that man Will Fuller. 879 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: Texans drop a fifty burger on the garbage falcon, a 880 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 1: stink fifty three to thirty two final Fuller finished with 881 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventeen. I'm telling you this is a 882 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 1: Fantasy Goldline Week five. Some of these monster performances seventeen 883 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: yards for will Filler Fuller, who, by the way is 884 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: their number two receivers. So that's pretty cool. Greg. When 885 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: the Texans are right there are positively scary. This is 886 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: such a fun game and performance for you guys to 887 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 1: watch on game pass. I think something to point out 888 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 1: with that radio call, which was really well done. It 889 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: was still a game. Then it's third and five. It's 890 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 1: a one possession game, under two minutes to go and 891 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: I think most teams would either call a run there. 892 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: Because the Falcons had no time outs, you could have 893 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: burned the clock down about one twenty or you could 894 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: have called a very safe pass. But what do they do? 895 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: They make up a play as they go along. Fuller 896 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: adjusted that route. He saw what the defense was doing, 897 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:49,879 Speaker 1: Watson saw him, makes a beautiful throw. Watson is as 898 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: streaky as any quarterback in the league. I mean, they 899 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 1: scored twenty four points combined in their first two home games. 900 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,839 Speaker 1: They put fifty three. He's streaky sometimes within games. This 901 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: game was all just one good streak. Poor at Ryan's 902 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: trying to come back in this game. And here are 903 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 1: the Texans last nine possessions and they only had ten 904 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 1: touchdown touchdown, field goal, end of half. Okay, the Falcons 905 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 1: are still ahead at that point, despite you know, Texans 906 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: doing well. Okay, we're fighting back alright, touchdown field goal. Okay, 907 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: the Falcons. They're still in this game. It's one possession 908 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: even though they haven't stopped touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. Matt Ryan, 909 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: just like, give me a chance to come back in 910 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,359 Speaker 1: this game. There's no chance. This defense is wretched. And 911 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,800 Speaker 1: after the game, Arthur blank, you know, gave his coaching 912 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: staff the old vote of confidence. But the bloggers who 913 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 1: are about Falcons fans and watching the coaches film and 914 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 1: breaking this down every week are pointing out how poorly 915 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 1: coached this defense is. It's san Quinn, which who was 916 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: also the defensive coordinator of one of the great defenses 917 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: of the century in Seattle, so things can change. And 918 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 1: dan Quinn, who I think lived up to the promise 919 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: early on. And now you get into a weird space 920 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,719 Speaker 1: with these young coaching guys who the message at this 921 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 1: point is fraid and it's lost because what are you 922 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 1: telling anyone that you stand for as the Falcons head 923 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,760 Speaker 1: coach when everything was based around urgent, relentless defense. Zero 924 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: sacks on Watson, That's what flips the switch on Watson 925 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: when he's not getting taken down five, six, seven times 926 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: in a game and not to the ground twelve or 927 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: thirteen times. But they almost had a Gholston in this game. 928 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons had one quarterback hit, no sacks. Deshaun 929 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 1: Watson has been protected pristinely three straight weeks, and I 930 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: know he took a lot of sacks last week. He 931 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: he had got great pass protection in that game a 932 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,439 Speaker 1: week ago. That was not a great performance for him 933 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: and the play calling and everyone else. And this team 934 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,280 Speaker 1: looks awfully dangerous when he's protected and Will Fuller's healthy 935 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,839 Speaker 1: and Kiki qt had a really good game when they're 936 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 1: they're just adding weapons to this group. They're a weird team. 937 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,240 Speaker 1: Can I throw weird it? So like with the Vikings, 938 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: Like the Texans have their issues all over the place, 939 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 1: and they're a weird team. But to me, I look 940 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: at their ceiling and I'll say, I'm not gonna I'm 941 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: not gonna count you out of anything at all on 942 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 1: any level from a psychic level. I look at the 943 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: Vikings to just say, I don't feel that way. I 944 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: don't know what the difference is. Maybe it's totally illogical. 945 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,719 Speaker 1: Here's that is that good old line. And I feel 946 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: like Houston they have to contend with two incredible superpowers 947 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 1: in their own conference. Though, Like when you want to 948 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: talk about ceilings on a team out in their division, 949 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: and so talking about if you were trying to play 950 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,319 Speaker 1: in February here right there, trying to get a home 951 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 1: game in the playoffs and start there, and then you 952 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: can see what happens and j j Watt had one of, 953 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: if not his best games since he's returned from his 954 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,839 Speaker 1: injury today too, So there's just a lot of night 955 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 1: nice signs for this team. All right, let's move on, 956 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:42,800 Speaker 1: get excited. WESTC five man pressure protection is good? Flacco froze. 957 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: Why don't people receive the flat coast? There? He pull's wife. 958 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,800 Speaker 1: So I'm down the sideline. Twenty fights to the lines, 959 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 1: touchdown Denver. It is a touchdown injection run of seventy 960 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,800 Speaker 1: yards and Denver is in front. Nothing over the Chargers. 961 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 1: Dave Logan with the called Broncos Radio Network. Yes, West, 962 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 1: the Broncos are off the schny at Joe Flacco connected 963 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 1: on a long one to Courtland Sutton Philip Lindsay piled 964 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: up a hundred forty seven yards of total offense. I 965 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 1: think fas y'all. That defense shut out the Chargers in 966 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: the first half, held on for a win at the 967 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: dignity and health for all park um Wes. They got 968 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: it done well. They controlled this game from the outset, 969 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 1: and there were a few scary moments in the second 970 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: half when the offense went in the tank for about 971 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,919 Speaker 1: straight minutes. Um. I don't think they had a first 972 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,839 Speaker 1: down in the third quarter as they wanted. They did 973 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 1: not have a first down in the third quarter. Um, 974 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,399 Speaker 1: but the Broncos defense had their best game of the year. 975 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,440 Speaker 1: And you're not gonna see a huge box score for 976 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 1: von Miller and Malik Read, but they both played well. 977 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: Malik Read is the undrafted rookie filling in for Bradley Chubb. 978 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 1: He played well. Kareem Jackson had three or four huge plays, 979 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: including knocking the ball out of Austin Ekeler's hands as 980 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,840 Speaker 1: he was diving for the pylon on the last play 981 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 1: of the first half. It was a really good performance 982 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 1: by the Broncos d and frankly their running game, which 983 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: has been good all year and they have they have 984 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 1: controlled the clock, this offense has They just have had 985 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,839 Speaker 1: so many untimely penalties from their offensive line, killing their 986 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: running game, killing their momentum. And in this today they 987 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,319 Speaker 1: got through that. Philip Lindsay was spectacular and was uh 988 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: he had he had a cut and some suddenness in 989 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 1: the four minute offense that was, you know, got me 990 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: out of my seat. It was so impressive. What I 991 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,560 Speaker 1: mean the play that you mentioned West at the end 992 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: of the first half being able to keep Eckler out 993 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: of the end zone there and preserve with seventeen point lead, 994 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,480 Speaker 1: and then Rivers goes down the field and throws that interception. 995 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 1: That's fourteen points um nine times out of ten with 996 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 1: the Chargers in their offense. But give Denver credit for 997 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 1: making the stands. I didn't think Rivers looked comfortable all game. 998 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,399 Speaker 1: He should have had a couple more passes picked off. 999 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 1: He did not play well, and they had no running game. 1000 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon came back and we assumed that he and 1001 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 1: Ekeler would maybe go back to being one of the 1002 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 1: best tandems in the league. They had nineteam first downs 1003 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,799 Speaker 1: zero zero came via the run for seven yards for 1004 00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 1: they opened up and that first half with the with 1005 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,399 Speaker 1: the fumble at the end, punt, interception, miss field goal 1006 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 1: which was a killer, then that fumble at the end, 1007 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 1: come out of it with three straight punts and interception. 1008 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,400 Speaker 1: They can't This is the Chargers team that loses you 1009 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 1: because they cannot get out of their own way. They 1010 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: haven't looked right all year. I know, they're just two 1011 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: and three and they've had some moments. I think Rivers 1012 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,359 Speaker 1: has played really well until this until this week. They 1013 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 1: played well, but he's had some ill time turnovers, which 1014 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 1: Joe Flaccos hadn't had it in this game too, he 1015 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: had to. One was on a on a tip pass. 1016 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,360 Speaker 1: But there's something it's the defense mostly, but there's something 1017 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,720 Speaker 1: like not jelling with this team. Maybe that's what happens 1018 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 1: when you lose five to six starters to injury and 1019 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: you don't have a home field because once again this 1020 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: was a Broncos home game, and Rivers has to overcome 1021 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,760 Speaker 1: that offensive line every week. He does a good job 1022 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 1: of it. But they have scored thirteen points or fewer 1023 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 1: and three of the last four games. And every every 1024 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen catch and he didn't have many today for 1025 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 1: free had a big drop to I. I always just 1026 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 1: think of Wow, it's crazy the numbers Alan puts up 1027 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 1: when so many of those catches and throws are tough throws, 1028 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 1: Like it's not like they're getting Keenan Allen open. It's 1029 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,400 Speaker 1: just a hard way to run an offense. By the 1030 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 1: way West, big road win here, oh and four, history 1031 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,840 Speaker 1: tells us you're done now one and for it. And 1032 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,879 Speaker 1: now they get back to back games in Denver, where 1033 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: I know they've lost two games in a heart bake 1034 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: breaking fashion. But they're tough, they're well. West is on 1035 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 1: the roller coaster, so we're on it with him, home 1036 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: against not on it, Titoons next week winn AA bowball game, 1037 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 1: of course, and then home against the Chiefs on a 1038 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,640 Speaker 1: short week on Thursday night football. I think that Titans 1039 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,760 Speaker 1: game might be the only game all year the Broncos 1040 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 1: play a team with a worse offensive line than they have. Troublesome, 1041 00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 1: Let's move on. I tried thirty one yard attempt by 1042 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 1: Zane Gonzalez to win the game, tied at twenty three 1043 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,799 Speaker 1: with two seconds to go. The whole the snap's good, 1044 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 1: the balls down, the kick is up, the kick here's good. 1045 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: Break out, the boat ties. This one's for Mr b. 1046 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals win it twenty three, the first win of the 1047 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury era. Wow. Like that call? Of course, Bill 1048 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 1: built Bidwell, the team's original owner who passed away last week. Yes, 1049 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,760 Speaker 1: so the Cardinals win one for Bidwell. Rookie Kyler Murray 1050 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,400 Speaker 1: ran for a touchdown and lead the Cardinals on a 1051 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 1: drive that ended with Zane gonzalez thirty one yard field 1052 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: goal in the final play. Cardinals, Yes, get that first 1053 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: win under Cliff Kingsbury twenty three over the Bengals, who 1054 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,839 Speaker 1: stink in their own building. Man, Greg look like, look 1055 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 1: like for a moment. The Bengals have find a way 1056 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: to spend their misery for at least one week. But 1057 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,359 Speaker 1: Murray's yeah, I just want to say thanks for all, 1058 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,759 Speaker 1: you know, as a representative for all the Cardinals fans 1059 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,279 Speaker 1: out there, I just assumed covering this game, this would 1060 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,879 Speaker 1: be the last game we got to. So it's nice. 1061 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 1: This is, you know, kind of in the middle. Okay, yeah, 1062 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 1: because Bills Tennessee higher and that was just an oversight, 1063 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: so but enjoy it. But you know what it was. 1064 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,439 Speaker 1: It was a football game where if you thought, oh, 1065 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 1: these are winless teams and it's probably not gonna be 1066 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 1: very interesting, you know what, you were right. For fifty 1067 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 1: six minutes, the Cardinals should have been up by thirty 1068 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,839 Speaker 1: points in this game. They were tripling the Bengals total 1069 00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,320 Speaker 1: yard and it was twenty three to nine, and suddenly 1070 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 1: the Bengals go wild, score two touchdowns uh in the 1071 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: last five minutes to make it a tie game. And 1072 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 1: then Kyler Murray rips off a nice run that reminded 1073 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 1: me a little bit of Michael vick uh in his 1074 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,239 Speaker 1: famous run against the Vikings. Yeah, really small version, and 1075 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 1: we talked about it going into this game. If there's 1076 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: one thing to like about the Cliff Kingsbury experience, it's 1077 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: the running game. And they ran for two hundred and 1078 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: sixty six yards. Murray ran for three uh, David Johnson 1079 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 1: had a total of one sixty six from scrimmage and 1080 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 1: even Chase Edmonds had a big run that put the 1081 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 1: game away. David Johnson putting up big numbers week after 1082 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:12,719 Speaker 1: week like the old days, I mean, a lot of 1083 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,080 Speaker 1: it's been through the air, so this this is actually encouraging. 1084 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they have had anything close to this 1085 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,160 Speaker 1: on the ground. The Cardinals so far, we're good doing 1086 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: pretty good like yards per carrying if you watch like 1087 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: they're opening up some holes where It's been a pretty 1088 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: good running game throughout the year. The problem is that 1089 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: they're trailing so much you don't get to use it. 1090 00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:31,960 Speaker 1: So this was a nice game for them where they 1091 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,720 Speaker 1: could get a lead against the Bengals team who looked 1092 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: so overmatched in the first half. I just was thinking 1093 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 1: this is a low moment for the Andy Dalton They 1094 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,880 Speaker 1: were not for the Bengals franchise. We just had some 1095 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,720 Speaker 1: low moment moments, but not looking competitive against the Cardinals 1096 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: is pretty long. It's a way to win in this game. 1097 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis, what does he? Yeah, Well, is somewhere You're right, 1098 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis is somewhere saying just like, hey, remember this, 1099 00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,800 Speaker 1: this is what it was like before I was there too. 1100 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,200 Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis raised the Titanic Chris Wesling, Right, but this 1101 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: is a Bengals team that was similar to last year's 1102 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 1: that really had so many backbreaking injuries that you how 1103 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 1: do you even evaluate this Bengals team? That's fair Tyler 1104 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,280 Speaker 1: boyd and is the only receiver left. And and the Buzzards. 1105 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,319 Speaker 1: The Buzzards are circling our GM. App yes, there are 1106 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 1: a lot of gms, according to Jason lack On for 1107 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 1: of CBS Sports, just circling the Bengals, trying to get 1108 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,680 Speaker 1: a j Green, checking in on Geno Atkins, checking in 1109 00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 1: on Carlos Dunlap. This is a team going nowhere this year. 1110 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,959 Speaker 1: You think they'd say no to moving these guys fun. 1111 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,879 Speaker 1: Do you know how that that operation is a mom 1112 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 1: and pop? They are They don't think of things the 1113 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:46,080 Speaker 1: same way other teams do. And I would be surprised 1114 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 1: if they sold off lifelong Bengals like A J. Green, 1115 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:53,239 Speaker 1: Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap. Green is unique. I don't 1116 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,960 Speaker 1: think they would with Atkins and you know, probably not 1117 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 1: done Lap. But Green's unique because he's in the last 1118 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: year of his contract. He hasn't healthy at all, and 1119 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 1: I think you might get a good offer for him, 1120 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 1: but I don't think you can get a first form 1121 00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: at this stage with those in If your Minnesota just 1122 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 1: like ship out Stefon Diggs and then you get Stefen 1123 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,240 Speaker 1: Dick's contract, I would take that if I'm the Bengals 1124 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,440 Speaker 1: and I feel like Minnesota, you know, things like that, 1125 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,359 Speaker 1: things cant of the Vikings have solved any of their 1126 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 1: problems with that movie. Green is a rare talent. Why 1127 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 1: not you get you get a J. Green? Who Green? Now? Yeah, 1128 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,839 Speaker 1: well it's not even on the field right now. Green 1129 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 1: is the rare talent though, where you might roll the 1130 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 1: dice in that situation one you know, on the short list, 1131 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean, did you want to release back on the 1132 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 1: field Diggs when they asked him today if he was 1133 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 1: happy to be in Minnesota. He goes, yeah, I'm happy 1134 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 1: to be here, and then he did did he did 1135 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,600 Speaker 1: a one, He did a wink and then a click sound. 1136 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, I'm happy to be here, and 1137 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:47,719 Speaker 1: then with a little wink and a click. That's what 1138 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 1: you want to hear. A limited amount of problem interest 1139 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: in the way these guys are handling their business. You're 1140 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 1: under contract, sometimes you do. I mean you're getting paid 1141 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Let to move on. Let's here 1142 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 1: it for Cliff Kingsbury's first win. Offset I formation set 1143 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 1: up right side the snap, Josh's gonna keep it himself 1144 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 1: running around the left side. Statement, bounce first down Buffalo 1145 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: at the nineteen yard line, and the celebration is on 1146 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,800 Speaker 1: for the Bills offensive players on the field. One thirty six, 1147 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: one thirty five, and the Buffalo Bills are gonna get 1148 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:25,560 Speaker 1: out of Tennessee with a hard funk victory. John Murphy Murph, 1149 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,160 Speaker 1: I would call mirth if we were like having bruise. 1150 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: I think that's what he goes by. Hey Murph, you'd 1151 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 1: fit right in. Nice guy. Mur about some wings Vegan 1152 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,919 Speaker 1: wings for my friend and the arc Is that a thing? 1153 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 1: How do you make a wing sound like where do 1154 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 1: the bones standing? Over and over, let's just point it. 1155 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 1: Come to work, deal with Dan for nine hours, go 1156 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 1: back home, wake up to the same thing again. Travel 1157 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 1: to a foreign country with him, have to deal with 1158 00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 1: the same thing on a high octane pitch for eight 1159 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 1: days in a foreign country. Come back to the stage. 1160 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 1: It's reshuffled the deck, same thing, over and over. You 1161 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 1: guys think this is a joke. This is how he 1162 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 1: really feels. Josh third down scramble on the final two 1163 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 1: minutes locked up another win for the Bills, who bounced 1164 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,640 Speaker 1: back from last week's near miss against the Patriots with 1165 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: a fourteen to seven win over the Titoons in Nashville, West. 1166 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,400 Speaker 1: Another big day for the Bill's stud defense and a 1167 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 1: different kind of Kai's Kai to deal with. Huh Kiro 1168 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 1: Santos missed four field goals, two in the fifty yard range, 1169 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 1: two in the thirty something yard range, and that was 1170 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 1: one big problem. The other big problem is this offensive line. 1171 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,240 Speaker 1: We've been saying for a while that that Marcus Mariota 1172 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: turns pressure into sex as frequently as any quarterback. I 1173 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 1: think it's time to just say this isn't even on 1174 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. This offensive line is brutal. Their guards are terrible. 1175 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 1: Roger Stafford is looking like an early free agent bust. 1176 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,960 Speaker 1: The other guard spot. They pushed Nate Davis, a rookie 1177 00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,640 Speaker 1: third rounder, into the starting lineup. He struggled um Jordan Phillips, 1178 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 1: the Bills defensive tackle had six and a half sacks 1179 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,160 Speaker 1: in his career coming into this game, had three in 1180 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 1: the first half, all on third down. I believe well, 1181 00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 1: at least Mariotta took three third down Saxon row, which 1182 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,880 Speaker 1: is his move. He's gonna use it. But this Titan, 1183 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 1: I think this offensive line is an achilles heel that's 1184 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,920 Speaker 1: gonna keep them from being good all year, even with 1185 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 1: getting Taylor Luan back, because that was the should have 1186 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 1: this week. You should have seen the Bills players talking 1187 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 1: trash at Taylor Lawan after the game, saying he's basically 1188 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: just a mouth and that's it. We know what his 1189 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 1: weakness is. He can't do with pressure to the inside. 1190 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 1: They were just like we were glad he came back 1191 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 1: so he can get some of this action. Mouth did 1192 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 1: pass alide de dector test I'll throw that out there, 1193 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,960 Speaker 1: but that didn't Never want I want to see how 1194 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 1: we verified those results of Taylor Luwan. Hey, we always 1195 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 1: talk about you know, we don't know who these teams are. Hey, 1196 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 1: it's week five, you know they're one week they're up, 1197 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,959 Speaker 1: one week they're down. The Buffalo Bills are the same 1198 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,640 Speaker 1: team every week, and I'm I'm falling for them, just 1199 00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:58,560 Speaker 1: this weird, ugly amalgamation of I don't know, good coaching 1200 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 1: and bad offense. One of one of the things, one 1201 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 1: of the things that they do have every week is 1202 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,840 Speaker 1: they don't have a great offense overall. But give Brian 1203 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Dable Chris, that's what I mean. He has called He 1204 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 1: has done package plays at a really high level, where 1205 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 1: guys like Isaiah Mackenzie are taking end arounds for forty 1206 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,680 Speaker 1: six yards. They have a lot of guys that they're 1207 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 1: just using for a few plays a game and getting 1208 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 1: a lot out of them. John Brown hit another good 1209 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,320 Speaker 1: game too. Some of day Ball's most creative play calling 1210 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 1: came last year when they were even more limited on 1211 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 1: offense and had to do anything to get generate positive yards. 1212 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 1: They four and one, and they're they're a ten win 1213 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 1: team even with this formula, because you're gonna knock out 1214 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 1: another six teams between now and New Year's with this 1215 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 1: defense problem. They have a week schedule. We know both 1216 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 1: of these teams Tytoons are the Tytoons. Also, fans were 1217 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,880 Speaker 1: really upset with Mike Vrabel after this game. I didn't 1218 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 1: like watch closely enough because I'm covering two games to 1219 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: see why they were upset with him. But they were 1220 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,800 Speaker 1: very upset with Mike Vrabel. And don't think he's a 1221 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 1: score to start. Well, yeah they got seven points, but 1222 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 1: to me, that's on the offensive line. Dan, didn't you 1223 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 1: mention it just simply not that this isn't a novelty 1224 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 1: for you, but that you were going you were absolutely 1225 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 1: just gonna wait another week before you even got excited 1226 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 1: about them. Well yeah, I mean, but it's it couldn't 1227 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,760 Speaker 1: be everyone who's coming at you. It could not be 1228 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 1: less surprised by the outcome of this game. The offense 1229 01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: doesn't show up against a good opponent, a good defense. 1230 01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: You're in your building with a chance to build build 1231 01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 1: some momentum. But the Tytoons don't build momentum. They just 1232 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 1: go hot and cold, hot and cold, with nothing in between. 1233 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,960 Speaker 1: Remember you were right about Smoky Brown all those years ago. 1234 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 1: By the way, he's a true number receiver when he's healthy. 1235 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 1: It's just the true number one. Though I didn't think 1236 01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,600 Speaker 1: he had this in him. He's been playing great al right, 1237 01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,760 Speaker 1: Frank Gore. I used this game to look at that 1238 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:47,920 Speaker 1: guy too. He's still doing well. It's not my heart 1239 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,919 Speaker 1: been riding that train for a long time. It's been 1240 01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:55,120 Speaker 1: the train has been going. I don't know what. Uh, no, 1241 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: rookie Hollywood. Uh this weekend? She is, I don't know 1242 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 1: where she is. She's essentially a part time producer at 1243 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,080 Speaker 1: the wedding of our friend Emma. But fair enough. Oh yeah, 1244 01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,640 Speaker 1: that's right. Okay, congratulations to Emma.

But she has 1248 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: moved on from She has moved on to another comp 1249 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 1: married a man named Brett. A nice guy. Brett's a 1250 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:21,840 Speaker 1: nice guy. He is a very nice guy and no 1251 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: bile behind the glass, filling in and doing great work 1252 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: so far. Um, the one thing you have to work 1253 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: on the bill is the the drop. We might not 1254 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,840 Speaker 1: have fluded you in on it yet. So he has 1255 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 1: like a PFF score right now, you're too fine. Just 1256 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 1: a little orson Wells and we're going to get that 1257 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 1: up to a hundred. He's the Mitchell Schwartz of right tackle. 1258 01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,400 Speaker 1: Can we get in a bill cam for the YouTube show? 1259 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the kid deserves it, he's killing it, does 1260 01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 1: They didn't even get a camera. Look, Bartlett behind the 1261 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,800 Speaker 1: glass says no, no camera from the buy. He's like 1262 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 1: he hasn't earned it on his hair today for that's 1263 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: still giving him the rookie treatment. Let him go, all right? 1264 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:04,240 Speaker 1: There were two truly dreadful NFC uh NFC East versus 1265 01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:08,240 Speaker 1: a f C East game, so let's knock those outcaud 1266 01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: I try to go power one again. They go fourth 1267 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 1: rolls now fires recepted and recepted by Gary the SIDEWI 1268 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 1: Coast day for Garry, fut South day for Gary, and 1269 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 1: he comes with the good. So the pick six by 1270 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 1: Nathan Gary holds up. Nathan Gary, yes, indeed returned an 1271 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,520 Speaker 1: interception for a score. Orlando Scandrick took a strip sack 1272 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 1: the distance as well two defensive scores for the Eagles, 1273 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,959 Speaker 1: who route the Jets thirty one to six. In Philadelphia. 1274 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,960 Speaker 1: The Eagles savaged third string Jets quarterback Luke Fowk to 1275 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 1: the tune of ten sacks sixteen quarterback hits. The Jets 1276 01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 1: managed a hundred and twenty five yards against the league's 1277 01:03:56,320 --> 01:04:03,320 Speaker 1: thirty second ranked defense. Entering Sunday Um the Eagles offense met. 1278 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 1: The one thing UH during this dreadful oh and four 1279 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 1: start for the Jets is that the defense is mostly 1280 01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 1: held up Uh. Not been a great unit, but it 1281 01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 1: has not been embarrassing. It's been the offense that's been embarrassing. 1282 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,360 Speaker 1: And in this case, we saw it again because Carson 1283 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 1: Wentz was held under two yards passing. He only threw 1284 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:24,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown one touchdown past Jordan Howard ran for sixty 1285 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 1: two yards and one touchdown. So a modest day on 1286 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 1: the ground for the Eagles as well. But when you 1287 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 1: have a mismatch um and any team that sends Luke 1288 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 1: Fox out on the field is going to have a mismatch. 1289 01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: But I think UM with the Jets right now, it's 1290 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: it's so beyond Fox. And And there was the report 1291 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 1: Mike Garifolo reported before the game that um Adam Gaze, 1292 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 1: who was confident enough in the idea of Sam Donald 1293 01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:55,960 Speaker 1: returning from his mono about that he gave Donald the 1294 01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:00,280 Speaker 1: majority of first team reps heading into Friday. UM, and 1295 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 1: then when Donald was a surprise out because his spleen 1296 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:08,800 Speaker 1: had not UM, I don't know us in size, I 1297 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:14,040 Speaker 1: think returned to its It thrust Funk back into the 1298 01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 1: first string and you know what that will be. That 1299 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: will be what everyone gets on Gaze four. Uh. And 1300 01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 1: that's fine. You could have given Luke Fox a hundred 1301 01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 1: days of reps in a one in a matter, because 1302 01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,480 Speaker 1: Luke Fowk is not an NFL quarterback. But on the 1303 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 1: subject of Adam Gaze, there is no way to sugarcoat 1304 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: at this point how bad the team looks and they're 1305 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 1: not gonna win these games. They really got screwed with 1306 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,680 Speaker 1: the schedule because on top of everything else, they're just 1307 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,080 Speaker 1: playing great teams every week, it seems the Jets, But 1308 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't excuse the embarrassment week after week and the 1309 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 1: fact that they in this game, they didn't look prepared 1310 01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,520 Speaker 1: at all coming off a bye week. So I'm I'm 1311 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: kind of reaching the point and wondering if Adam Gaze 1312 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 1: could be in danger if Sam Donald doesn't come back 1313 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:08,600 Speaker 1: and absolutely uh turn this team instantly into a competitive unit. 1314 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 1: Because I think it's gotten that bad and that embarrassing. 1315 01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 1: I would imagine for Christopher Johnson and Jets owner the Jets, 1316 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 1: this is not a great set up for Sam Donald. 1317 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 1: You've got an angry Cowboys team followed by the Patriots 1318 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,680 Speaker 1: followed by the Jaguars, and the latter two can damage 1319 01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 1: a quarterback if they want to. And I would say 1320 01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 1: it's probably a great thing that Sam Donald was not 1321 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,880 Speaker 1: out there today. If he were to take even half 1322 01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 1: the punishment that Luke folketon, well it should be not yes, 1323 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 1: no half. There's no way that that Sam Donald takes 1324 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 1: ten sacks. Fox is completely overwhelmed and he held onto 1325 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:46,600 Speaker 1: the ball too long. He had a deer in the 1326 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 1: headlights look for the entire game. He's just not a 1327 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 1: pro quarterback. Maybe he develops in time, but he's an 1328 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 1: undrafted practice squad player that is just getting killed against 1329 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 1: great NFL teams. Adding Gaze Blaze, he's a pro quarterback 1330 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 1: so much that he's employed him at two places and 1331 01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 1: brought him with him, So I think he deserves at 1332 01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,560 Speaker 1: least some of that. Luke Fox, I think you're right. 1333 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 1: I think that watching the Jets is impossible right now, 1334 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,120 Speaker 1: and Gaze deserves a lot of blame for that. Even 1335 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 1: with the fact that they've lost two quarterbacks, it has 1336 01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 1: been that bad for them. Fourteen drives, nine first downs. 1337 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: They did score touchdown on offense for the first time 1338 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,200 Speaker 1: this week. One it happened after a muff punt by 1339 01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles. But you know, Chio Capatia of the Athletics 1340 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,320 Speaker 1: wrote a stat that only three times since the start 1341 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 1: of last year has a team average under two point 1342 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 1: five yards per play, and the fox last two starts 1343 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 1: are two of those three. It goes to n So 1344 01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 1: there you go. The NFL maybe is not the league 1345 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 1: for Luke faul. No, he'll be an XFL quarterback in 1346 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 1: about a year or two. Um, this is the worst 1347 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: star to jut season in my lifetime. And that's saying 1348 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: they are that bad. Eagles. Eagles the last two weeks 1349 01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 1: have gotten off the mat you know in the schedule 1350 01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 1: helps him out this week, but with so many in 1351 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: reason and they still have them. Uh, that's pretty crucial 1352 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,080 Speaker 1: for a team that now is tied for the NFC 1353 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,760 Speaker 1: East lead. And check this out. Yes they're now they're 1354 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,400 Speaker 1: three and two and the Jets was a great basic 1355 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 1: practice run through. Now they go on a three game 1356 01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:18,200 Speaker 1: road trip where they get at Minnesota, at Dallas, at Buffalo, 1357 01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:22,760 Speaker 1: then they come home for Bears Patriots, Seahawks. That is 1358 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 1: a gauntlet. That's a gauntlet, and you you imagine you 1359 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 1: would sign off maybe for three and three there wait 1360 01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,439 Speaker 1: to Tucker would be super Bowl run. If you're a 1361 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,280 Speaker 1: wild card team into the middle of your season, would 1362 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 1: you be happy with three and three? I don't know. 1363 01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:38,600 Speaker 1: Probably not. You're probably if you few yourself as a 1364 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,559 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender, you want to win four of those six. 1365 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 1: But it's not gonna be easy. I would imagine the 1366 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,280 Speaker 1: Eagles look at their roster and think, we can beat 1367 01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,800 Speaker 1: any team any week. We should beat any team any week. 1368 01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,759 Speaker 1: Let us move on to the nation's capital or close 1369 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:55,040 Speaker 1: to it. Landover that's in the Middy under center on 1370 01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 1: the retreat, dropping back, he's pressure, he rolls wife, he 1371 01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,360 Speaker 1: throws a coming rightside for an open bowl and catch 1372 01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 1: it for Farndon. Then Joe touchdown. Patriots Brandon Bolden shades 1373 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,600 Speaker 1: of Denver several years ago in the snow got the 1374 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,600 Speaker 1: gout you last year when he was in Miami, have 1375 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,120 Speaker 1: two big touchdown runs. They bring him out of the backfield. 1376 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 1: He goes off the tight end, little double move, will 1377 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,840 Speaker 1: route and it's a perfect throw by Brady. It's twenty 1378 01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 1: nine yard touchdown the Brandon bold Yeah, that is enough, 1379 01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 1: come down. We let him out of jail. That's not 1380 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 1: getting Really, this is the official song of the Patriots. 1381 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,599 Speaker 1: We're gonna hear it's sixteen or seventeen more times. Bob 1382 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,679 Speaker 1: Sochi and Scott Zolak with the call Patriots Radio Network. 1383 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady throws for three yards three touchdowns, including that 1384 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 1: hook up the Brandon Bolden, and the Pats got another 1385 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:50,520 Speaker 1: strong performance from their d to seven win over the Redskins, 1386 01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,400 Speaker 1: who are still looking for a w. Some of these 1387 01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: bad teams are just dragging down our schedule week after 1388 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,719 Speaker 1: week with non competitive games, and the Jets and Washington 1389 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 1: are two of them. Mark, what did you take away 1390 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 1: from this game featuring teams on opposite sides of the 1391 01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,160 Speaker 1: pro football spectrum. You know that I like to call 1392 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,120 Speaker 1: games early on and just see if it's sticks. And 1393 01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:15,000 Speaker 1: my internal game of our buzzer hit when Mike Nugent 1394 01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,040 Speaker 1: nailed a thirty seven yard field goal to put New 1395 01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 1: England up nine to six, and there was the reason 1396 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,640 Speaker 1: was very simple that you knew that Washington got an 1397 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 1: early touchdown off a pretty crazy reverse by a guy 1398 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:33,120 Speaker 1: name let me Steven Sims Jr. The undrafted rookie, and 1399 01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 1: that put him up early. But then you could tell 1400 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:38,160 Speaker 1: right away that this call McCoy led offense. And it 1401 01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,000 Speaker 1: hurt me to to observe this so early in the game. 1402 01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:45,960 Speaker 1: Was doomed, utterly doomed. And New England the one takeaway. 1403 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 1: And I know it looks absurd inside a game that 1404 01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 1: wound up thirty three to seven, little concerned about their 1405 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,960 Speaker 1: offense through the first thirty minutes of this because they 1406 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:57,800 Speaker 1: they put a lot The Redskins put a ton of 1407 01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,200 Speaker 1: heat on Brady and I know that we know he's 1408 01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: one of the slowest guys, but he looked extra slow, 1409 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:06,559 Speaker 1: like shoes filled with the mixture of I know they 1410 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 1: would say cement, so cement plus like iron fillings and 1411 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,040 Speaker 1: like car parts that you could fit in there. I mean, 1412 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,880 Speaker 1: it was just he's running like a man that did 1413 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 1: not fit out there athletically. They threw the ball thirty 1414 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,720 Speaker 1: one times in the first half, basically gave up on 1415 01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,599 Speaker 1: the ground game and just went after the Redskins until 1416 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:26,960 Speaker 1: they kind of pushed their way through them. I don't 1417 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,800 Speaker 1: see a lot of chemistry between Tom Brady and Josh 1418 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 1: Gordon at this point for the kind of player that 1419 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:37,120 Speaker 1: you think Josh Gordon could be. But Edelman took the 1420 01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,880 Speaker 1: game over in the second half. The defense was unbelievable. 1421 01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,680 Speaker 1: And to me, that's a lot on the Redskins that 1422 01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 1: just have no They have no there's nothing about them 1423 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,120 Speaker 1: that gives them any hint of identity. It's shut down 1424 01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,280 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson in a wanting quarterback behind it, one of 1425 01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:53,960 Speaker 1: a line that looked as bad as any line in 1426 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 1: the NFC in the first half of this game. I 1427 01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 1: don't know what. Gruden doesn't even care anymore. By the way, 1428 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: after the game, Uh, he's asked again as he's asked 1429 01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,600 Speaker 1: every week now, and it cannot be easy, you know, 1430 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,320 Speaker 1: do you think you're gonna get fired soon? And he said, well, 1431 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,240 Speaker 1: I'll see if my key card works on Monday, which 1432 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 1: is an honest response because if I imagine, he feels 1433 01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,719 Speaker 1: very much in the dark, uh, and his own organization 1434 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 1: right now, which has to be a tough situation. And 1435 01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,719 Speaker 1: he also said that when they asked me thought he's 1436 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:24,080 Speaker 1: been given enough time to turn this program around, and 1437 01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:28,120 Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. That is a guy who knows. Look, 1438 01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,320 Speaker 1: I've had one of the toughest jobs in sports and 1439 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,640 Speaker 1: and I fought the good fight for a while, and 1440 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen for me. And I know. Adrian 1441 01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:39,880 Speaker 1: Peterson had an amazing quote when asked about the Patriots defense, 1442 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 1: and he said they showed a lot, a lot of 1443 01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,960 Speaker 1: exotic stuff on film, but against us, they didn't really 1444 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, it was like, Hey, we'll sit back here 1445 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,599 Speaker 1: and see what you guys do and allow you guys 1446 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,639 Speaker 1: to mess up. That's a Hall of Fame player who's 1447 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 1: diagnosing that the Patriots are basically dialing it back against 1448 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,879 Speaker 1: the Redskins because they know they can what an advantage 1449 01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,639 Speaker 1: not show anything on film for a regular season week. 1450 01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,400 Speaker 1: I hope Jake Gruden meets up with Red and they 1451 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,920 Speaker 1: go to Zee Watton Neo and he just chills for 1452 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 1: a while. He's earned it. Yeah, poor Gruden. They even 1453 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 1: you know those video services of him partying. Uh, and 1454 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 1: you wonder the timing on that. It's just it's a 1455 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,800 Speaker 1: horrible situation. You just when that job becomes available, as 1456 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 1: it inevitably will, um in January. Who who wants that job? 1457 01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,439 Speaker 1: And I know there's there's only thirty two of these 1458 01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:32,160 Speaker 1: jobs in the world, and being a head coach is 1459 01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:35,160 Speaker 1: always the goal for anybody that's starting from when you're 1460 01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,439 Speaker 1: you know, coaching peewee football. But God, this just feels 1461 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,600 Speaker 1: like a hopeless situation Washington right now. Maybe Adam no 1462 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:47,880 Speaker 1: more Patriots, bring Jim Zorn back. No more Patriots Bears comparisons, please, 1463 01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,160 Speaker 1: until they play a real offense. I mean, I've never 1464 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,559 Speaker 1: made I I'm surprised that everyone coming out of that 1465 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,640 Speaker 1: Bill's game especially didn't think, oh, the Bill's defense is 1466 01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:58,439 Speaker 1: the best one on the field. I think any defense 1467 01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,599 Speaker 1: in today's NFL is gonna heart have a hard time 1468 01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 1: truly dominated. I'm with you on the page of defense, 1469 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,760 Speaker 1: the best defense in the league, and they've been lights 1470 01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,720 Speaker 1: out since what the first half of the a f 1471 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:12,320 Speaker 1: C Championship game last week last year. But let's see, 1472 01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:14,200 Speaker 1: let's see him play somebody. I mean, this must be 1473 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,519 Speaker 1: coming from people who never saw the five Bears, who 1474 01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,360 Speaker 1: would not only stomp you, but knock your quarterback out 1475 01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:22,479 Speaker 1: of the game every week. It's statistical, that's Scott's piling up. 1476 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,720 Speaker 1: But it's all because they lost Philip or set to 1477 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 1: hamstring injury early. That's that could be a pretty big 1478 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 1: loss if it's for a while. Because they're thin. They're 1479 01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:34,760 Speaker 1: thin there. They'll be fun. They'll be fun offense, you know. Oh, 1480 01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,240 Speaker 1: they're in the market for for offensive help. They're one 1481 01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 1: of the teams connected to all these receivers. Let's go 1482 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,360 Speaker 1: with just get digs in there, get a j Green, 1483 01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,120 Speaker 1: bring Antonio Brown back, get in there. Could he use 1484 01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,679 Speaker 1: a guy like Brown maybe later in the season. Let's 1485 01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:52,120 Speaker 1: move on to Sunday night football homes under center, hands 1486 01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 1: off the Damnian lawyers docked up, but got it, don't sir? 1487 01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:01,240 Speaker 1: Houston coming up sorts again for the big fellow the 1488 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,479 Speaker 1: Cults Knights, and there gets a tackle for loss on 1489 01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:08,520 Speaker 1: fourth down and the Cults takeover and plus territory inside 1490 01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:12,679 Speaker 1: the chief threty five yard line. You heard it, Matt Taylor, 1491 01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:18,639 Speaker 1: the Cults Radio Network, the justin Houston. Revenge game, revenge game, 1492 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:23,000 Speaker 1: revenge game, revenge games are undefeated. He makes the big 1493 01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:27,080 Speaker 1: stop on fourth down, basically putting a bow on an 1494 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:30,840 Speaker 1: incredible effort by the Cults. You go into arrowhead, those 1495 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:35,719 Speaker 1: are this horrible music It's like Dirk Diggler's band. I mean, 1496 01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,320 Speaker 1: you got the touch. It's a good band. The fact 1497 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:42,000 Speaker 1: that Huey Lewis is resorting to these cheap tactics to 1498 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:46,000 Speaker 1: get a cheap bucks, shame on you, shadowy league figures. 1499 01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 1: Look what you've done to ours. That a little back 1500 01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:53,040 Speaker 1: although kind of looks like the producer from the studio book, 1501 01:15:53,400 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 1: But oh what a disgrace. All right? Anyway, Colts win. 1502 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:07,840 Speaker 1: Colts win in a game they absolutely um dominated time 1503 01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:16,240 Speaker 1: of possession seven minutes and fifteen seconds. And yes, yes, 1504 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,840 Speaker 1: Chris Westling, the Chiefs were beat up in this game. 1505 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:24,240 Speaker 1: Guys went down and once Patrick Mahomes got spiked by 1506 01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,200 Speaker 1: his teammate and the ankle, he was never the same quarterback. 1507 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 1: And that probably or may have swung this game. But 1508 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,720 Speaker 1: the culture beat up too. They deserve a lot of 1509 01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 1: credit for what they were able to pull off tonight. 1510 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:39,840 Speaker 1: Well before this game, nobody had ever held Patrick Mahomes 1511 01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:43,000 Speaker 1: and Adie Reid under twenty six points and the Colts 1512 01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,920 Speaker 1: haved that, So give them a ton of credit. And 1513 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,840 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins left with the hamstring injury. They had some 1514 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:53,080 Speaker 1: offensive line injuries. Like you said, the Mahomes injury that 1515 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,000 Speaker 1: it didn't feel like we were dealing with a full 1516 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,080 Speaker 1: deck of cars. But give the Colts credit. No, what 1517 01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,639 Speaker 1: did nobody else is stopping this offense? No Chris Jones 1518 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 1: maybe the biggest injury for the Chiefs if that turns 1519 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 1: into a long term injury, But the Colts are gonna 1520 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,639 Speaker 1: feel bad for anyone. And when it comes to injuries, 1521 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:11,479 Speaker 1: they're missing both their two starting safeties. They're missing Darius Leonard. 1522 01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 1: And what they've found in this three and to start 1523 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 1: before they thereby is a backbone and an identity that's 1524 01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,880 Speaker 1: up front, and that means there's a small margin for air. 1525 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it's the most talented team one to 1526 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,960 Speaker 1: fifty three in the league, but they're in every game, 1527 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,080 Speaker 1: and in a game like this where they started just 1528 01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:33,160 Speaker 1: running downhill and mashing the Chiefs. There there is a 1529 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,559 Speaker 1: spirit to this team, and I think Jacobe Brisette, even 1530 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,880 Speaker 1: on a night where he didn't play that well, fits 1531 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:41,800 Speaker 1: within this spirit that seems like a tone setter for them. Right. 1532 01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:43,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Costanzo is playing well and I think the coach 1533 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:47,960 Speaker 1: gives them real advantages every week. I see plays that 1534 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 1: Frank Reich draws up that are beautiful and that his 1535 01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:54,360 Speaker 1: players execute well, but that you don't see on most teams. 1536 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,599 Speaker 1: I love their defense too. It's like guys like Carrie 1537 01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:01,320 Speaker 1: Willis and Grover Stewart, Bobby o creat like these are stars. 1538 01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,200 Speaker 1: You can call about the justin Houston revenge game, but 1539 01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:06,200 Speaker 1: you gotta check the box score to get the full 1540 01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,520 Speaker 1: name on these because because they're they're an emerging defense 1541 01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,320 Speaker 1: and they play very well together. And this, to me 1542 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,000 Speaker 1: is the kind of game I'll sign up for every time. 1543 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:19,479 Speaker 1: Because the Colts kept offering these seven a half, eight 1544 01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:23,920 Speaker 1: nine minute punished four team play three five yard drive, 1545 01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,639 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen that. What better method, 1546 01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,760 Speaker 1: what better recipe to take the Chief's offense out? Now 1547 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 1: that the injuries reduced Kansas City to sault tonight, but 1548 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 1: that this is the recipe. The four teen play thirty 1549 01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 1: five yard drive that covered eight minutes and thirty four 1550 01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:41,040 Speaker 1: seconds and ended with an Adam Vinetieri thirty one yard 1551 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,080 Speaker 1: field goal. Vinetieri is got things under control here. Hit 1552 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of really short ones today thirty two, thirty two, 1553 01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,479 Speaker 1: thirty one and twenty nine. Um. That was the one 1554 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 1: where you saw that the Chiefs were essentially gassed and 1555 01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 1: they were getting beaten at the line of screw image 1556 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 1: and getting pushed around. And when the Chiefs got back 1557 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 1: on the field, and you kept on thinking, especially when 1558 01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 1: they do get off the field after that long drive 1559 01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:11,120 Speaker 1: at six and he's still got a half quarter to play, 1560 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:12,680 Speaker 1: and you think, oh, this is where the Chiefs go 1561 01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 1: down the field and take a one point lead. While 1562 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. The offense just could not get going. 1563 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,680 Speaker 1: Uh and Mahomes it, you know, I I hated the 1564 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:23,680 Speaker 1: way this game played out. You know, good on the 1565 01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:25,679 Speaker 1: Colts for what they've did done, But when you see 1566 01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,360 Speaker 1: want to see Patrick Mahomes on Sunday Night football. I'm 1567 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: looking for the laser show and to see him and 1568 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,400 Speaker 1: he that touchdown pass was vintage Mahomes. But to see 1569 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,640 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes limping around is it hurts my heart. And 1570 01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,880 Speaker 1: I know, uh, Ryan Barlett behind the glasses a cheese fan, 1571 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 1: you're not used to that because he's so He's been 1572 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 1: so brilliant. It was just that watching the Colts from 1573 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,920 Speaker 1: a different perspective and it wasn't an easy watch. I 1574 01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,280 Speaker 1: think they the Colts might have a star on Cory 1575 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,519 Speaker 1: Willis that he's starting for injuries, but he might be 1576 01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 1: hard to take out the lineup. Bobby Yoga Riki's playing 1577 01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,479 Speaker 1: well as Mark said, and Grover Still who Chris Collins 1578 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:03,040 Speaker 1: were act like he never heard of him. This guy's 1579 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,080 Speaker 1: been playing well ever going back to training camp well 1580 01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,400 Speaker 1: and Justin Houston had his best game probably as a colt. 1581 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:10,400 Speaker 1: And Comico Terrey returned from an injury and played well 1582 01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,080 Speaker 1: until he got hurt. Indnico Autrey, who did miss a 1583 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:15,120 Speaker 1: game or two in the middle, has been their best 1584 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:18,360 Speaker 1: player on defense. They they have some players, but Marlon 1585 01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,559 Speaker 1: Max the guy to me, he's playing behind that great 1586 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:24,000 Speaker 1: offensive line, but I love the way he runs. He's 1587 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,800 Speaker 1: very smart about the holes that he picks. Reminds me 1588 01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:28,800 Speaker 1: a little bit of a smaller Frank Or who we 1589 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,880 Speaker 1: learned from. I think I think he got some tips 1590 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,240 Speaker 1: from The Inconvenient Truth. And on the chief side, they're 1591 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,920 Speaker 1: running game could not get it going. Damian Williams average 1592 01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,479 Speaker 1: two and a half yards to carry nine for twenty 1593 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,240 Speaker 1: three uh and he was their leading rusher. There was 1594 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 1: just nothing going on for the for the Chiefs h 1595 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:45,960 Speaker 1: in any phase of their offense. They just couldn't get 1596 01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: it going. Travis Kelsey was quiet. Four catches on ten 1597 01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,479 Speaker 1: targets Byron Pringle couldn't get that first down, and I 1598 01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,320 Speaker 1: still have no idea. I need the next tell me 1599 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,280 Speaker 1: how he didn't. It was like he almost ran backwards. 1600 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Kansas City's line is not right, and we 1601 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,880 Speaker 1: every week we watch quarterbacks that are not opts. They're 1602 01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:06,680 Speaker 1: not operating the way you want them to or the 1603 01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,240 Speaker 1: way they're being paid because their offensive line is creating 1604 01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,920 Speaker 1: total hell in front of them. This happened for a 1605 01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:15,040 Speaker 1: lot of reasons tonight, but Patrick Mahomes was not able 1606 01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:16,960 Speaker 1: to just do this on his own. He's not getting 1607 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 1: the protection. Chiefs in fine shape. At four and one, 1608 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 1: you got the Raiders behind you. At three and two, 1609 01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,280 Speaker 1: the Chargers are struggling. But I do think the a 1610 01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: f C, you know, race for a buy and and 1611 01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: number one seed is gonna be going to keep an 1612 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 1: eye on the whole year. Please. The Chiefs are facing 1613 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots. The Chiefs are loaded. One one week isn't 1614 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:37,479 Speaker 1: going to change that, but now they're one behind. I'm 1615 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,719 Speaker 1: not worried about the Chiefs long term unless these injuries 1616 01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:44,160 Speaker 1: either continue to pile up or linger because you saw 1617 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,160 Speaker 1: they are human. After all. There's talk that they'll get 1618 01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,720 Speaker 1: tyreek Hill back next week to one little thing on 1619 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:51,760 Speaker 1: the Cults. I don't love that they wound up with 1620 01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:55,479 Speaker 1: no timeouts with eleven plus minutes to go, but they 1621 01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,120 Speaker 1: coached the way out of that with the way they 1622 01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,960 Speaker 1: played down the stretch. That was like an absolute beat 1623 01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:03,800 Speaker 1: down fever dream mid fourth quarter. On To lose Andrew 1624 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,240 Speaker 1: Luck and to have the injuries that they've had in 1625 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:09,640 Speaker 1: the first five weeks of the season, it is remarkable. 1626 01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,839 Speaker 1: They're three and two entering the bye. They're even starting 1627 01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,360 Speaker 1: to warm the cold heart of Chris Wesley. This entire 1628 01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 1: show is around is about trying to get teams to 1629 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,719 Speaker 1: win over West.
