Speaker 1: Around the NFL Podcast, Long Live the Shield. Welcome to
Speaker 1: another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name
Speaker 1: is Dan hansis joined the room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler,
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, Greg Rosenthal. What is up? Bullies? Hey Dan?
Speaker 1: Another Sunday in the books. My only goal with the
Speaker 1: show is too when they come out of the head
Speaker 1: shots that you look at if you're watching the YouTube version,
Speaker 1: head shots, to absolutely duplicate the smarmie look on my
Speaker 1: face in the photo that I for some reason picked
Speaker 1: this mighty shot. It's a it's a tough, smarmy a hole,
Speaker 1: that's what I look like. It's like, the what we
Speaker 1: don't want people to think of our show is basically
Speaker 1: with the opening credits of our YouTube show, say, look
Speaker 1: at these guys, these mediocre whites. Don't buy into anything
Speaker 1: they're about to say. In fact, tune out and go
Speaker 1: find something better. It pitches that, well, how's everybody doing?
Speaker 1: I was doing great until you just hold my career
Speaker 1: down the river and these guys didn't work. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know those head shots. You know, you can only make
Speaker 1: a headshot as good as what you got to work with.
Speaker 1: You know. I blame myself in studio action poses. I've
Speaker 1: been pushing this internally and it will happen one day.
Speaker 1: Um all right, it is the Sunday of week five.
Speaker 1: So much to get to. Um and Greg you said it,
Speaker 1: and I think we all feel the same. You said
Speaker 1: it on Twitter. Kind of miss the Lions today. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I think everyone around the country has been thinking that.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what that ten games slate needed
Speaker 1: at ten am Pacific, A little Lions. A bit of
Speaker 1: a weird week because you missed the Lions. Some strange
Speaker 1: outcomes in games. You have Tony Romo and Nance doing
Speaker 1: the the windless Broncos against the Charger. Maybe did Romo
Speaker 1: have like a golf invitational outside or something like the
Speaker 1: Glendale Invitational and he's like, this is where we're going.
Speaker 1: He's pulling power plays and you're the honest hill for
Speaker 1: you to stand to top and to try to defend
Speaker 1: that he does not care about his job. Not enough.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to be a golfer, be
Speaker 1: a golfer. That's my stand on this. Get you like
Speaker 1: an ESPN morning show with another time. I'm not the
Speaker 1: only one that should have takes so far. What does
Speaker 1: it end zero for? The rest of the group was
Speaker 1: the other fire take the mediocre white head shots. What
Speaker 1: if he just wanted to go bowling today instead of
Speaker 1: announcing football? Would that be okay? That would be fine
Speaker 1: because it would be just a leisure activity. Listen, that
Speaker 1: will save that for another conversation. Maybe, uh, Tuesday show.
Speaker 1: In fact, when we next when you next hear from
Speaker 1: us on Tuesday, we're gonna be in London. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be there all week ahead of Bucks. Panthers will also
Speaker 1: be at that game at Tottenham Stadium, so we're really
Speaker 1: excited about that. So since we're heading to London, why
Speaker 1: don't we start the week five recap with the first
Speaker 1: game of the season played in London was at Wembley Stadium,
Speaker 1: and yes, an upset right out of the gate. Let's
Speaker 1: get to it. This will be a second down and
Speaker 1: ten for the Bears from the Raiders forty six yard line,
Speaker 1: and here's chased back into the gun. He's hit on
Speaker 1: the release up in the air. There's something picks up
Speaker 1: b con Con He's got it. Hey, you go down inbound.
Speaker 1: Keep the clock running. The Bears last use the time out.
Speaker 1: The second interception of the game. Brent Musburger with the
Speaker 1: call k CBS. Chase Daniel, listen to this music. By
Speaker 1: the way, I got another hot take. Shadowy league figures
Speaker 1: in this building, no backbone at all, decide to strip
Speaker 1: us of our glorious primetime music with this generic slop.
Speaker 1: You got me with that hot take. I mean, listen
Speaker 1: to this turn it up, Nobile? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: What a travesty? Anyway? Chase Daniel? What did you do?
Speaker 1: The Bears backup QB airmail to pass with Chicago nearing
Speaker 1: field goal range, the interception of Dagger for the Raiders
Speaker 1: stunning on Sunday night at Wembley. How about that? A
Speaker 1: great game in England? Cheers anyway, Daniel blew Itt, But
Speaker 1: not before the Bears d blew it first on Oakland's
Speaker 1: final drive. Mark Sessler. Yeah, I mean, if you told
Speaker 1: me coming out of this matchup and what I would
Speaker 1: have thought of it going in and what I watched
Speaker 1: from the Bears, not only last week, but going back
Speaker 1: to last season, that one of these defenses would have
Speaker 1: come out of this game with no sacks and no picks,
Speaker 1: and it would have been the Bears and not the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Where it was the Raiders defense that hassel Chase Daniel.
Speaker 1: I get that he's a backup, but he's also you
Speaker 1: can't say that, and also pitched this line, Oh, he
Speaker 1: knows Matt Nagy's offense. He's intimately familiar with this playbook,
Speaker 1: and he's a veteran and he does good things here
Speaker 1: and there when you get the game he had, which
Speaker 1: was two killer picks, and I thought the issue here
Speaker 1: was was Oakland Josh Jacobs on the ground and Derek
Speaker 1: Bard doing Josh Jacobs is the real thing. Four point
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry, a hundred and twenty three on
Speaker 1: the ground, did through the air, and you got to
Speaker 1: remember that Derek Carr is working with guys like Foster
Speaker 1: Moreau and Trevor Davis, and they to me looked like
Speaker 1: the offense that had a little bit more going. They
Speaker 1: weren't perfect, but I'm a little worried about the Bears offense,
Speaker 1: as I have been all season long, because to me,
Speaker 1: in a game like this, they felt formless and they
Speaker 1: need their defense to pile up turnovers and probably points
Speaker 1: to get out of this season with anything more than
Speaker 1: a wild card entry at best. Seventeen nothing lead for
Speaker 1: the Raiders at the half, Chicago scores twenty one straight
Speaker 1: to take the lead. Uh. And what follows is and
Speaker 1: Greg it was the biggest shock of the game. Once
Speaker 1: they get in the lead, I think everyone kind of thinks, oh,
Speaker 1: it's over. Thirteen plays nineties seven yards uh in two
Speaker 1: minutes of clock time. That's an unbelievable letdown by Chicago.
Speaker 1: It's it's an unbelievable drive. Thirteen played drive that you
Speaker 1: go ninety seven yards on the Bears defense to win
Speaker 1: the game in London, one drive after they actually had
Speaker 1: the ball inside the Bears five yard line and fumbled
Speaker 1: it early in the fourth quarter there down three. At
Speaker 1: that point, you figure there's no way they're winning that
Speaker 1: game at that point, but their defense got the ball back.
Speaker 1: They were the better team throughout the day. You have
Speaker 1: the Bears defense made a couple of plays. You mentioned
Speaker 1: the Bears offense is gonna need that. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the only reason the Bears were even in this game
Speaker 1: is that two of their drive touchdown drives were sixteen
Speaker 1: yards are less because they had such good field position,
Speaker 1: because their defense set them up. The Raiders game three
Speaker 1: under nine yards on this game, the Bears had two
Speaker 1: thirty six like, I gotta give John Gruden some credit.
Speaker 1: I'm just shocked because when you watch when I watched
Speaker 1: this team against the Colts, and when I thought, I
Speaker 1: thought even stronger that they're not going to be competitive
Speaker 1: in this Let's just think they're so lucky. Let's hear
Speaker 1: from John Gruden, who, as you know, by the way,
Speaker 1: this was supposed to be the game where the Bears
Speaker 1: rubbing and Gruden's face the Khalil Mac. Where's Kalil Mack
Speaker 1: in this game when they when they need a big play?
Speaker 1: Gruden feeling good talking to the players after the game.
Speaker 1: I have a news going here. I have a disco.
Speaker 1: Let's all start dancing. I say, this, man, a fifty
Speaker 1: six years old. That's the most fun I've ever had
Speaker 1: to night. I'm so proud of you. Yeah, no idea.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been through a roller coaster already. But
Speaker 1: once you prove today is one thing you can feed
Speaker 1: anybody anywhere. Why I'm I think one of the biggest
Speaker 1: surprises in the NFL is the Raiders offensive line. I
Speaker 1: spent the offseason thinking they were gonna be terrible, and
Speaker 1: they have been one of the best and maybe the
Speaker 1: best unit on this team, and just from the comments
Speaker 1: I was seeing on Twitter, it sounds like they imposed
Speaker 1: their will on the Bears and even bullied them a
Speaker 1: little bit. They they did, they played a great game
Speaker 1: and and you know the defense made a player too
Speaker 1: Tariko and doesn't have a massive punt return. I don't
Speaker 1: think the Raiders are even in this game, and that
Speaker 1: reminds me a little bit of the formula last year
Speaker 1: where they needed something big to happen on special teams
Speaker 1: combined with defensive chaos, and when you don't get it,
Speaker 1: you get this game. But I don't come out of
Speaker 1: this just looking at Chicago's mistakes. The Raiders deserve some
Speaker 1: credit for going into I think anyone winning a London
Speaker 1: game that's extra level because it's you don't know how
Speaker 1: to manage that week. It's not you're not doing the
Speaker 1: same thing. And we know the Raiders typically are a
Speaker 1: house on fire and all the wrong ways when they
Speaker 1: travel east, but they traveled farther east this time and
Speaker 1: took care of Chicago. I I thought this would have
Speaker 1: been like thirty one to seven Bears and and back
Speaker 1: to John Gruden. I mean, this is this is another
Speaker 1: popular offseason punching bag through five games, and now they
Speaker 1: head into their by three and two with signature wins
Speaker 1: in here, a great division win to open the season, uh,
Speaker 1: the win last week in Indy, which was an excellent win,
Speaker 1: and now of course beating a Bears team that a
Speaker 1: lot of people see see as an NFC favorite. No
Speaker 1: one expected this, No, we were talking two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: is Derek are gonna, you know, be back with this team.
Speaker 1: The thing is Car helps that offensive line look better
Speaker 1: in pass protection because he gets rid of the ball
Speaker 1: so quickly. And they're a good run blocking team, and
Speaker 1: Trent Brown has been worth the money. They have the
Speaker 1: best center one of them and Rodney Hudson, who they
Speaker 1: may act made sure to pay before this year. And
Speaker 1: then the league is a little more fun with the
Speaker 1: frisky Raiders team. And frankly, the Bears hadn't played that
Speaker 1: well enough in the first five weeks to be a
Speaker 1: four and one team. They they seem like a three
Speaker 1: and two team that feels well. I would say I
Speaker 1: might have been a little I might be a little
Speaker 1: hard on Car to say keep saying I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if he's on this team next year, but he's not
Speaker 1: the reason they won this game. Derek Carr was fine.
Speaker 1: He was super well protected from very steady LEA boring
Speaker 1: one question on the film, it looked like we saw
Speaker 1: a pretty gruesome Achem Hicks elbow injury, one of the
Speaker 1: best players in the Bears team. Did you get the
Speaker 1: sense this could be a season ender? I mean, it
Speaker 1: looks I agree with you. I need to see what
Speaker 1: the test show. But it was doctor, you know I
Speaker 1: it's not good when it's dangling on the side. I
Speaker 1: dialed up. I dialed up Dr Chow in between the
Speaker 1: space from Packers Cowboys to the start of the show,
Speaker 1: and he's it's not picking up my calls. He was
Speaker 1: very busy talking to Silva's got Chow on the speed dial.
Speaker 1: They talked toys a day. According to a little inside
Speaker 1: joke there. All right, let us move on from this
Speaker 1: shotgun snap Rogers second down holding left for the Tucks
Speaker 1: down TA touchdown run in the interior of the Green
Speaker 1: Bay line opened up a hole at Aaron Jones went
Speaker 1: farling through Billy Turner and Ryan Blaga to two key blocks.
Speaker 1: Aaron Joe ran Rick between them, love It, Wayne Larvy
Speaker 1: and Larry mccaren of the Packers Radio Network it's talking
Speaker 1: about going to a disco. Here we go, It's gotta slaps,
Speaker 1: here we go. Aaron Rodgers is unbeatable at a T
Speaker 1: and T stadium, but it helps have friends. Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: scored four touchdowns and Mike Petton's defense uh force Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott into three interceptions. In the end, it was a
Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty four win for the Packers. Rogers
Speaker 1: is now five and oh since Gerald World opened in
Speaker 1: two thousand nine, and the Packers are four and one
Speaker 1: and all alone in first place in the NFC North.
Speaker 1: I know the Packers and we all had an eye
Speaker 1: on this one because there was only two late games.
Speaker 1: The Packers surprised this whole room because we all felt
Speaker 1: pretty good about um Dallas's chance in this game. But
Speaker 1: from the jump, Green Bay was in control. I'm impressed
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is just playing like he did three
Speaker 1: years ago, and I think maybe that should have been
Speaker 1: a bigger takeaway from the Eagles game that just, hey,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is bawling again. I know the final numbers
Speaker 1: don't look crazy impressive, but some of the passes that
Speaker 1: he made in the first half were those classic Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers throws where he's making Robert Tanyan look good, and
Speaker 1: he's doing it without Davante Adams. I'm not saying Tanya
Speaker 1: didn't make I like Tanya right now, but when Rogers
Speaker 1: is making those beautiful places, he makes you believe anything
Speaker 1: is possible. He said after the game, it was his
Speaker 1: best game of the year, and he doesn't care about
Speaker 1: stats anymore. All he wants to do is win. He
Speaker 1: doesn't care how anybody thinks. He knew this was his
Speaker 1: best game. Well, I know, and there was there was jawing,
Speaker 1: you know, forget more like discussion between Aaron Rodgers and
Speaker 1: Matt the flower Head coach during the game, and we
Speaker 1: we brought it up a few times so they would
Speaker 1: keep cutting away to that, and it looked like there
Speaker 1: was a little bit of tension here and there. I think,
Speaker 1: if we're allowed all these other teams to figure out
Speaker 1: who they are, this is Aaron Rodgers in a new
Speaker 1: offense for the first time in a zillion years, And
Speaker 1: if you take away a red zone collapse against the Eagles,
Speaker 1: the narrative around this team over the last two weeks
Speaker 1: and what they produced is a little bit different. What
Speaker 1: bothered me a little bit. They've got up real big
Speaker 1: early and then they were struggling to kind of hang
Speaker 1: on to this lead, but they're on the road. It
Speaker 1: was a little clunky the close out, but ultimately it
Speaker 1: didn't really hurt them, and that's why they had it
Speaker 1: just made the game four and a half hour had
Speaker 1: it had several possessions that were fruitless, that featured some
Speaker 1: big losses, and then they would cut straight back to
Speaker 1: La Floura and Rodgers looking mildly annoyed about. It's really
Speaker 1: the body language that is fascinating about the two of them.
Speaker 1: It's always something to keep an eye. It just feels
Speaker 1: like La Fleur is, you know, trying to impress him
Speaker 1: or trying to convince him of a point that Rogers
Speaker 1: is not agreeing with. And so it's just kind of
Speaker 1: fun a little brother trying to convince big brother he's cool,
Speaker 1: except one of them is the head coach. I don't
Speaker 1: think we can expect much more out of them in
Speaker 1: the second half when Davontae Adams isn't playing, Jamal Williams
Speaker 1: isn't there, and Aaron Jones had another great game. It
Speaker 1: makes you in between that that Eagles game where they
Speaker 1: wouldn't give him the ball on the goal line. It
Speaker 1: makes you even question that more. He has four tds
Speaker 1: today and he looked like a goal line monster before this.
Speaker 1: What is your an eight two yards from scrimmage? I
Speaker 1: mean he stepped up in a game that they needed
Speaker 1: a playmaker and he made plays on his own. He
Speaker 1: made Layton Vanderesh look bad a couple of times, and
Speaker 1: you do not see that to him. He averaged five
Speaker 1: points six yards for carrying this game, and he had
Speaker 1: a ten yard lost on a run late in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Um Dak Prescott had a very strange game
Speaker 1: because he threw three interceptions. Some of them were really
Speaker 1: bad interceptions, I mean passes that left you scratch in
Speaker 1: your head. You saw Jared Jones up in the box
Speaker 1: after I believe the third pick, showing a lot of
Speaker 1: anger and fresh stration. But he also threw for four
Speaker 1: d sixty three yards and had some gorgeous dime shots
Speaker 1: in the game. So it was an odd Press Scott performance.
Speaker 1: But Jason Garrett slammed that flag down in front of
Speaker 1: the raft and got a fifteen yard penalty. And after
Speaker 1: the game, Jerry Jones was asked about the referee and
Speaker 1: in Jason Garrett's abusive language, his quote was, oh I
Speaker 1: hope the little darlin didn't hear something he hadn't heard before. Well,
Speaker 1: I think he did, and they made it clear it
Speaker 1: was whatever came out of Garrett's not Darius Smith in
Speaker 1: this clearly playing through. I think it was a knee
Speaker 1: injury down on the field two or three times in
Speaker 1: this game for extended periods. What a what a performance.
Speaker 1: I think the Petton defensive performance gets a little bit
Speaker 1: lost because of the fireworks at the end. But Petton
Speaker 1: has been absolutely great for this and he finally has
Speaker 1: a quarterback on offense, which he never had with the
Speaker 1: Jets or Browns, a bunch of absolute non starters at
Speaker 1: the position forever and za Darius Smith, and he's got
Speaker 1: certain guys on defense that are absolutely tearing it up.
Speaker 1: They had a few injuries today though they had. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys also lost Lyle Collins and so they didn't have
Speaker 1: Tyrone Smith starting. So there they have two tackles, including
Speaker 1: Cam Fleming, who really shouldn't be starters in the NFL.
Speaker 1: That's in something to keep an eye on, especially Collins,
Speaker 1: who's maybe been the best right tackle in the league.
Speaker 1: Dallas out gained Green Bay five sixty three to three
Speaker 1: thirty five. So don't always um judge a game just
Speaker 1: by the stats, but it doesn't. But it was even
Speaker 1: the half, and it was seven days. The Cowboys moved
Speaker 1: the ball, that wasn't the problem. They just kept on
Speaker 1: shooting themselves in the foot. Amari Cooper eleven for two
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. One of those was kind of a
Speaker 1: garbage time touchdown, but that wasn't the It was a
Speaker 1: strange game. And I'm trying to figure out now, West,
Speaker 1: because I know you were big on Cowboys corner a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, after that narrow lost last Sunday
Speaker 1: night against New Orleans and then this pretty much stinker
Speaker 1: performance at home against an underman Packers team. Where do
Speaker 1: you stand on them right now? The Cowboys, I'm confused.
Speaker 1: I'll need to watch this game. I was marine the
Speaker 1: Broncos Chargers games, so I don't know exactly what happened,
Speaker 1: but I did notice that a lot of people were
Speaker 1: jumping on Kellen Moore in the first half and using
Speaker 1: the word genius in quotation. Mark already. This was this
Speaker 1: was anything that can go wrong went wrong type of
Speaker 1: game that I know we have the cornered animal game.
Speaker 1: Is that that too long of a name? It was
Speaker 1: like Amari Cooper dropped. Oh, there's an easy term for this,
Speaker 1: the Murphy's Law game. Right, it's a Murphy's Law game.
Speaker 1: Early in the first half day, it's not like they
Speaker 1: looked like the inferior team. There were just a few
Speaker 1: plays like a Marie Cooper had a ball thrown slightly
Speaker 1: behind him that he dropped and that turns into an
Speaker 1: intercepted pops right, but up and turn into an interception.
Speaker 1: And there was a lot of plays like that where
Speaker 1: it's not like the Cowboys looked like a vastly inferior
Speaker 1: I think they're learning to be a team that doesn't
Speaker 1: channel almost directly through Ezekiel Elliott four straight quarters, which
Speaker 1: has been the case for the past three years. That's
Speaker 1: not the team they are right now in offense. All right,
Speaker 1: that's a nice NFC rivalry. Like my official stance on
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, they're too talented to miss the playoffs, all right,
Speaker 1: and check in Tuesday from London, where west will give
Speaker 1: you more insight on his beloved America's team. More like Westlings,
Speaker 1: it's got a lot of teams beloved is a stretch.
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's bailing. No, I'm not bailing. I enjoy
Speaker 1: watching them. I don't really, none of the teams are beloved.
Speaker 1: Check out a great a f C rivalry this in
Speaker 1: the North and here comes Justin Tucker for what will
Speaker 1: be a forty six yard field goal attempt to win
Speaker 1: the game in overtime. Snap is good, chick on the way,
Speaker 1: it is long enough, and it is good Justin Tucker
Speaker 1: with a barn. And as if the rest of the
Speaker 1: day wasn't close enough, that kick was hooking to the left,
Speaker 1: looked like it would say a wide left, and at
Speaker 1: the last minute they did right back in between the
Speaker 1: op rights and the Ravens win it today in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: twenty six to three. Jerry Sandusky with the call for
Speaker 1: w B A L West. You know, the more I
Speaker 1: think about that, I bet Tucker did that on purpose.
Speaker 1: He has that ability. Who are we to question the
Speaker 1: means of Justin Tucky said, let me get seventy thousand
Speaker 1: fans to get their hopes up in hines Field and
Speaker 1: then have that thing hook in at the last second. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the goat Justin Tucker top to forty six yard or
Speaker 1: inside the left, upright and overtime, giving the Ravens win
Speaker 1: over the Steelers at Hines Field, A killer loss for
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh who followed one and four and Baltimore UM improves
Speaker 1: the three and two UM West, What did you learn
Speaker 1: from these two teams on Sunday? The Steelers still don't
Speaker 1: trust their offense, and that's been the case since Big
Speaker 1: Ben went down UM, and it's really bitten them a
Speaker 1: little bit. I think two situations in this game really
Speaker 1: point out the first one, UM more wild catching anigans.
Speaker 1: I feel like they've fallen too hard in love with
Speaker 1: their own creativity. The coaching staff Jalen Samuel's through an
Speaker 1: interception deep in Pittsburgh's own territory. The Ravens went and
Speaker 1: converted that for an easy touchdown. Lamar Jackson threw a
Speaker 1: pair of interceptions in his own territory and Mason Rudolph
Speaker 1: was only able to get field goals out of those.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing was in overtime. I think
Speaker 1: it was like the sixteenth time since the nineteen sixties
Speaker 1: and a coach won the coin toss and elected to
Speaker 1: put his defense on the field, and that was Mike
Speaker 1: Tomlin defense did great stuffed mark Ingram then sacked Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: then held on third down, forced to punt. Second play
Speaker 1: of the Steelers drive. Marlon Humphrey great play to punch
Speaker 1: the ball out of Juju Smith Schuster's hands. And you
Speaker 1: know the pro late spheroid bounce is funny. You can't
Speaker 1: control it. And uh, Devlin Hodges who came onto quarterback
Speaker 1: was too busy boxing out the defender and didn't fall
Speaker 1: on the ball. Yeah. I would have quite called a
Speaker 1: Cam Newton in Super Bowl fifty moment for young Devlon,
Speaker 1: but uh, it showed maybe a lack of awareness in
Speaker 1: the moment that go get that football. The ball was
Speaker 1: bouncing in one direction and then it changed directions that
Speaker 1: both teams right that he seem more occupied by the
Speaker 1: opponent near him than going after the ball. But you
Speaker 1: know what, it's moving very fast the game. Let's not
Speaker 1: get out Devilon Hodges in the game. Because Mason Rudolph
Speaker 1: lest suffer is one of the scarier head injuries you'll see. Uh,
Speaker 1: you want to dig in on that a little bit.
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph got hit by Earl Thomas on what I
Speaker 1: thought was his best play of the of the game,
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolf's best play to avoid pressure and pick up
Speaker 1: a third down to James Washington, and then Washington was
Speaker 1: injured UH and was lost for the game. So both
Speaker 1: those guys got injured. UH. Devil and Hodges came in
Speaker 1: um and looked pretty poised. There was one play where
Speaker 1: his arm strength limitation showed up. He was throwing off
Speaker 1: one ft on the run, fairly deep down the field
Speaker 1: and just couldn't put any mustard on it. Earl Thomas
Speaker 1: picked it off and it was called back on a
Speaker 1: defensive holding, but it was a little worrisome the lack
Speaker 1: of arm strength on the throw. UM. I thought he
Speaker 1: played about as well as you could expect an undrafted
Speaker 1: rookie to play. He's an undrafted rookie from Sandford. Who
Speaker 1: is gonna be uh called the next Sunday Night on
Speaker 1: NBC by Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth and less Mason.
Speaker 1: It's too late now. I told them a week ago,
Speaker 1: why what is up of these self? And post deadlines?
Speaker 1: Pushed the deadline they at Devlin Hodges rule. Let the
Speaker 1: records show he immediately came in and with the aid
Speaker 1: of one bag call, and another questionable call let a
Speaker 1: touchdown drive and to go ahead touchdown drive for the
Speaker 1: first lead of the day. Then the next drive let
Speaker 1: a field goal drive featuring his own twenty one yard scramble. Right,
Speaker 1: the offense, you know, probably isn't going to get that
Speaker 1: much worse because what they had eleven or twelve drives
Speaker 1: and they had two hundred and sixty nine yards in
Speaker 1: the game, So neither team moved the ball at all
Speaker 1: despite the score being looking normal, and this this sound.
Speaker 1: It looks like a game dominated by defense, kind of
Speaker 1: like you'd expect old Ravens Steelers games to be. I
Speaker 1: I come out a little concern about but we're not
Speaker 1: gonna find out next week because they play the Bengals,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they can course correct for a week
Speaker 1: at least. But Lamar Jackson five picks, I know they're
Speaker 1: not all on him. There were some weird ball bouncing
Speaker 1: or in business today. Three pick but today and two
Speaker 1: last weeks week and nine sacks because it's the protection
Speaker 1: breaking down, forcing him into some weird throws and stuff
Speaker 1: that I know. They beat up rough and tumble, ugly
Speaker 1: teams early, but they're not a team that's also doing
Speaker 1: the thing they did late last year where they're running
Speaker 1: for two d and twenty eight yards again and out
Speaker 1: physically knew they're trying to do both now and it's
Speaker 1: not really working out well. A couple of things. The
Speaker 1: Steelers defense, I think they're gonna sack a lot of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks five. Um, they get after it that defensive line.
Speaker 1: But it's the second week in a row where Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson ran into some sacks. He likes to run around
Speaker 1: and do figure eights in the backfield because he's explosive
Speaker 1: enough to turn those into big plays. Um. But they
Speaker 1: might have to go back to the drawing board a
Speaker 1: little bit. I will say though, that you got the
Speaker 1: sense during this entire game that the Ravens trusted their
Speaker 1: offense and they can run guys over once in a
Speaker 1: while and they can move the sticks, whereas with the
Speaker 1: Steelers it just feels like it's band aid after band
Speaker 1: aid after band aid. I would say, now five weeks
Speaker 1: into the season, the a f C. North is so
Speaker 1: much different, um than I thought it would be, because
Speaker 1: you have the Steelers are more or less dead in
Speaker 1: the water now at and four on their third quarterback.
Speaker 1: There's no coming back from that, most likely Cincinnati's one
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in football. The Ravens clearly at
Speaker 1: flaws we talked about going into this game, their issues
Speaker 1: on defense. It's hard to get a gauge on how
Speaker 1: much better the defense is when facing They lost starting
Speaker 1: safety Tony Jefferson to an a c L injury. Right
Speaker 1: he's done for the season. That's going to really hurt them.
Speaker 1: They just seem to be a team that's that can
Speaker 1: have good weeks and very bad weeks. Leaves the door
Speaker 1: open for the Browns market. I think the game on
Speaker 1: Monday night, if the Browns ball out against San Francisco,
Speaker 1: the talk of the league in terms of this division
Speaker 1: is that this is the Browns Division. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's so unusual because the f C North usually puts
Speaker 1: up two or three major blockades to one of the
Speaker 1: third teams trying to get into the postseason. I think
Speaker 1: I vowed in August the three teams from the North
Speaker 1: would make the playoffs. So just another listen, not to
Speaker 1: another reminder a single thing that I say. Ever, basically, uh,
Speaker 1: that Rudolph injury was scary. One of the scary Whenever
Speaker 1: they're taking the face mask off, and there's they were.
Speaker 1: They were claiming it a big victory that he was
Speaker 1: walking They were charcause when you take the face mask off,
Speaker 1: which never happens, and you're walking off under kind of
Speaker 1: under your own power, you actually see in his face
Speaker 1: that he did not know where he was that was there. Well,
Speaker 1: he was his hit. He was down on the ground
Speaker 1: unconscious for a while. The Dolphins are at home watching
Speaker 1: that Tucker kick go in, though, and they're they're celebrating.
Speaker 1: They're like, we got two picks in the top five
Speaker 1: right now, Ami Dolphins or a team that may come
Speaker 1: steal the number one pick. Watch out my Jets, by
Speaker 1: the way, and we'll get to them. Let's move on.
Speaker 1: Jets are coming out, rushing seven others back inside the
Speaker 1: five yard line. Here we go. Mintu in trouble, Addison
Speaker 1: chasing Addison. Still give me Chase, Minshu reversed his out,
Speaker 1: Minshu throw short of the goal line. Keepy taps it away,
Speaker 1: no flax, and the Carolina Panthers on Hall of Honor
Speaker 1: Weekend survive Jacksonville to go to three inch Mick mix
Speaker 1: and Panther's radio network with the call Gardner. Minshew got
Speaker 1: three shots at a inspiration. He even the final seconds
Speaker 1: each prayer unanswered, and the Panthers win over the Jackson
Speaker 1: Charlotte two stars carried the day from Carolina Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: who tied a career high with two thirty seven yards
Speaker 1: from scrimmage of three touchdowns, and Brian Burns, who returned
Speaker 1: to FUM both fifty six yards for a TV and
Speaker 1: a strip sack of Minshew. Quite a three week stretch
Speaker 1: for the suddenly three and two Panthers a sizzler. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean by ad like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I agree this game. If you went in thinking here
Speaker 1: are four or five things I think I'm gonna see,
Speaker 1: I think you saw all of them. And you mentioned
Speaker 1: something that Christian McCaffrey is the most interesting, complete electric
Speaker 1: football player out there right now. Put some respect on
Speaker 1: his name. Who isn't anyone him? Jim Brown and O. J.
Speaker 1: Simpson have the most yards from scrimmage in the first
Speaker 1: five games in NFL. And you know what's coming because
Speaker 1: let's called him a poor man's album, Kamara. That was
Speaker 1: a regrettable thing. He's not anyone's for me. I'd take
Speaker 1: all of Carolina's You know, hatred and tomatoes and whatever
Speaker 1: you want. That was bad. I think he was a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl snub last year, if I'm not mistaken, and
Speaker 1: and so at this point, he's everything you could award wise,
Speaker 1: you could hand out, and he just what he does
Speaker 1: physically is it's not just compiling numbers. He's he's just
Speaker 1: magical as an athlete. And aren't that many guys that
Speaker 1: get me excited from that angle at this point after
Speaker 1: watching a billion games, But he does what he's like
Speaker 1: doing things, and that that touchdown they just showed is
Speaker 1: another example. I think the Panthers defense you can count
Speaker 1: on now to make game changing plays and amp up
Speaker 1: an offense that does have a backup quarterback in there.
Speaker 1: Burns is a rookie defensive Rookie of the Year candidate
Speaker 1: if he's not the lead right now at this point,
Speaker 1: dude has been doing this since the preseason. And you
Speaker 1: also got Gardner Minshew connecting with DJ Shark, which he's
Speaker 1: been telling you he's gonna do week after week all
Speaker 1: season long. Chark is a star in the making, and
Speaker 1: they got that last minute magic or would be magic
Speaker 1: from Minshew and they came very close to tying a
Speaker 1: game thanks to a missed extra point by the Panthers.
Speaker 1: And I know that this hurts if you're two and three,
Speaker 1: if you're Jacksonville, but you just get the sense that
Speaker 1: both of these teams are gonna be knocking on the
Speaker 1: door and playing games in weeks sixteen, maybe even week
Speaker 1: seventeen that have January implications because they both for all
Speaker 1: their injured players and weaknesses, refused to die. And I
Speaker 1: we mentioned this on sky. I don't know what you
Speaker 1: do if you're Jacksonville when Nick Foles is available because
Speaker 1: this quarterback that's fine. But I'm just saying, as it
Speaker 1: is a lifetime in the NFL, it is, well, it is.
Speaker 1: But we talked about we talked about a billion things
Speaker 1: that that are down the road, and I think that
Speaker 1: that you've just found it the best rookie quarterback of
Speaker 1: the group at the moment. I think I believe that
Speaker 1: you have to stick with him. If he keeps playing well,
Speaker 1: you have to stick with him. And I thought it
Speaker 1: was interesting after the game one of their beat writers,
Speaker 1: I hope I'm saying his name correctly, car Lyon hayes Um.
Speaker 1: Someone asked him, is is Gardner minshewa franchise quarterback in
Speaker 1: your eyes, and he said, yes, I think the way
Speaker 1: he's played right now if he maintains that where he's
Speaker 1: avoiding mistakes, unlike Kyle Allen, who you know, continued to
Speaker 1: have some interceptions in this game or lost fumbles. Rather,
Speaker 1: the Panthers just need to get to Cam Newton in
Speaker 1: decent shape. They they're winning games. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: certainly not going to be any quarterback controversy. But it's
Speaker 1: pretty amazing who they played without today. I mean, they
Speaker 1: didn't have Trade Turner, he's an All Pro guard. They
Speaker 1: didn't have their former m v P and Newton. They
Speaker 1: didn't have their best defensive player in KK Short. They
Speaker 1: didn't have left tackle okay, sorry, my best, their second,
Speaker 1: their second best defensive player. They didn't have their left
Speaker 1: tackle and Greg Little. They you know, they're they're missing
Speaker 1: a lot of that team and they're winning games. If
Speaker 1: this is a tired conversation in any sport, but like, well,
Speaker 1: what is a movie? What does m VP mean most
Speaker 1: valuable player? Well, in that case, well, in that case
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, this team is oh and five without mc affrey.
Speaker 1: I don't need to circle back to him. But I
Speaker 1: just I'm just so blown away by how incredibly has
Speaker 1: been because Kyle Allen is excited as we got after
Speaker 1: his first start, is very much regrets at this point,
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is absolutely carrying this team while Newton recuperates. And
Speaker 1: if if the Panthers do take this into January and
Speaker 1: they have a nice January run, we can't forget what
Speaker 1: McCaffrey did to save their season at this point, because
Speaker 1: I think there's nothing less than that. Not to sell
Speaker 1: their defense short, which has come out as well. But
Speaker 1: I really think McCaffrey has been an absolute godsend revelation.
Speaker 1: I guess you'd worry a little bit about his workload
Speaker 1: because you had to seven touches last week and they lent.
Speaker 1: They lean on him again this week about as hard
Speaker 1: as you can and he and he was banged up
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. And just to point
Speaker 1: out that Minshew had two bad fumbles in this one
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown. He hasn't been perfect but from
Speaker 1: but throwing the ball once it gets out of his
Speaker 1: hands nine touchdowns in one pick this season. Also, he
Speaker 1: also threw one right to Bradberry on the last drive
Speaker 1: that should have been caught. But that okay, But I
Speaker 1: mean it's just that it's not perfect. All these other
Speaker 1: rookies are. I mean that, you know, making mistakes. Panthers
Speaker 1: use your backups. You know, McCaffrey, he had what cramps
Speaker 1: in this game at the end, and so you brought
Speaker 1: in bonifin and he runs for fifty nine yards on
Speaker 1: one play and he gets five for eight in the
Speaker 1: touch It's like backup running backs can succeed behind a
Speaker 1: really good run blocking offensive line, which I think the
Speaker 1: Panthers are on their best days. Is Jalen Rams are
Speaker 1: gonna play next week. I don't care anymore and not
Speaker 1: you know what I think that locker room, well that
Speaker 1: you know what their front office should care and all that,
Speaker 1: but the players have something else to focus on at
Speaker 1: this point. That sounds cliche, but it's like, forget Jalen Rams.
Speaker 1: You get on the field or not totally. I don't
Speaker 1: know how bang uppy is, but let's move on. Three.
Speaker 1: By shooting the near side, Bridgewater takes a gun, snap
Speaker 1: cock Mike Thomas at the five Bridge wanna tackle parts
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Mike Thomas touch down. I told
Speaker 1: you that was too little man little, he can't go.
Speaker 1: He can't Taplin and that was another that the safety
Speaker 1: didn't have a shot at him at firstment he was
Speaker 1: not big enough. Mike Thomas playing like your grown man
Speaker 1: today ten catch, two touchdowns and SATs lead at thirty
Speaker 1: one seventeen. Allow some huge games today. In the NFL
Speaker 1: Zax streep and deuce McAllister with a nice call there
Speaker 1: Saints Radio Network. Teddy Bridgewater passed for yards and four touchdowns,
Speaker 1: including that game ice in connection with Michael Thomas. In
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thirty
Speaker 1: one to twenty four. Bridgewater is now three and oh
Speaker 1: as the Saints starter and greg this is the first
Speaker 1: game you could say he was the main driver behind
Speaker 1: the victory. He was. Although it's it's tough to pick
Speaker 1: which Saints group played best in this game because they dominated.
Speaker 1: This was as their best game of the season, by
Speaker 1: far their most complete game of this season. The score
Speaker 1: couldn't be more misleading. It was one way traffic. You know,
Speaker 1: Teddy's going deep and Jamis Winston can't go deep. He shook.
Speaker 1: We know box scores and stats lie sometimes. This was
Speaker 1: a one score game at the end, it was four
Speaker 1: D fifty seven to a hundred and seventy four yards
Speaker 1: before garbage time touchdown drive by the Bucks. Jamis Winston
Speaker 1: numbers in the box score looked pretty good. It was
Speaker 1: one of his worst games. He could have had five interceptions.
Speaker 1: He was hesitant, He was shook early because his past
Speaker 1: protection that he had last week in Los Angeles was
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found in The Saints defensive line just
Speaker 1: ran up and down on them. Lattimore held Mike Evans
Speaker 1: to a shutout. It was it was just a complete shutout.
Speaker 1: No catches on three targets. He was across from him.
Speaker 1: I'm almost every snap of the entire game. And if
Speaker 1: you're Saints fan, you gotta do feeling so good because
Speaker 1: the breeze injuries weirdly helped them, just because now that
Speaker 1: they're piling up wins, it's the rest of the team
Speaker 1: has come together and shown what they can do, and
Speaker 1: Teddy's gotten better every week. Yep, you Greg you mentioned
Speaker 1: at the time of Drew brees Is injury that this
Speaker 1: is the kind of challenge that will reinvigorate Sean Payton,
Speaker 1: and it was a narrative and it's proven to be
Speaker 1: a savvy take that he has been reinvigorated by this
Speaker 1: and you I think you'd have to put him first.
Speaker 1: And I mean it's early, but coach of the year material.
Speaker 1: I think the Rams um You know, the Rams beat
Speaker 1: the Saints this year. It's the only team that beat
Speaker 1: the Rams. But I think the Saints are the clear
Speaker 1: cut team of the NFC right now. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's anybody close to him. And when Drew Brees gets back,
Speaker 1: assuming the other pieces come together, this team looks as
Speaker 1: locked in as any team you'll find at this time
Speaker 1: of year. Now you have to carry that on through
Speaker 1: deep into the season, but you don't get the vibe
Speaker 1: is Seawan Payton team is gonna let down here? Right?
Speaker 1: I think this is a train that's gonna keep rolling.
Speaker 1: On the flip side, I mean, Bruce arians came out
Speaker 1: of this who calling certain players on the roster soft
Speaker 1: and he was secondary secondary, And yeah, this was the
Speaker 1: game that made a believer in me out of Teddy Bridgewater.
Speaker 1: In this offense, for the distance that he needs to go,
Speaker 1: it's not obviously the best defense you face. But Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas became a thing again where he was an absolute
Speaker 1: deep threat. I just I wondered when the offense might
Speaker 1: catch up to him with the way they were operating before.
Speaker 1: So Alvin Kamar is a total star, and he can
Speaker 1: takes fifteen screen passes a game and Mike mincemeat out
Speaker 1: of the right defense. But it's much better to have
Speaker 1: a vertical danger threat right. The key play of the
Speaker 1: game for Teddy to me was a third intent. When
Speaker 1: it was I believe twenty four to seventeen the Buccaneers
Speaker 1: had scored to make it a one score game. He
Speaker 1: had a third intent. He had pressure in his face
Speaker 1: and he threw a dime on a deep out that
Speaker 1: is not an easy pass to complete over the top
Speaker 1: of a zone defense. And he made I would say,
Speaker 1: four throws like that in the game. It's not like
Speaker 1: he needed to make a ton of dazzling throws, but
Speaker 1: he made four really impressive throws. He made one mistake
Speaker 1: on an interception that was thrown a little behind Kamara,
Speaker 1: and Sean Payton called an amazing game. Taysom Hill was
Speaker 1: more involved in this game. Uh, and it worked when
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill was in the game. You know what you
Speaker 1: get next week? Up tick Teddy, who were all into
Speaker 1: now against Gardner Minshew. So if I'm reading the room right,
Speaker 1: you guys think the Saints are now like a thirty
Speaker 1: point a week offense. No, I wouldn't. I think, just
Speaker 1: get to this was one game. I don't even think
Speaker 1: that you can expect that out of Drew Now. This
Speaker 1: was one game where they hit everything well. I still
Speaker 1: worry about the depth that it's Thomas Kamara and what else.
Speaker 1: Jared Cook had made a couple of mistakes but also
Speaker 1: made a couple of plays today for the first time.
Speaker 1: They're but They're offensive line is really good and their
Speaker 1: defensive line, which I really want to stress Davenport Jordan's
Speaker 1: now that Rankins is back, Malcolm Brown is playing well
Speaker 1: for them. I'm forgetting someone here, Trey Hendrickson. When he's
Speaker 1: out there, they're as good as any defensive line in
Speaker 1: the league right now. They shut down the run and
Speaker 1: they get after it. And if if you're that good
Speaker 1: upfront with Sean Payton and whoever, they're gonna be gold.
Speaker 1: And Alvin Kamara hasn't even really gotten rolling yet. I
Speaker 1: feel like this this is an offense that's gonna get funny.
Speaker 1: We say that, and you're right, but he's like on
Speaker 1: pace for eighteen hundred yards from scrimmage. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: he hasn't had any like extreme McCaffrey type game the
Speaker 1: Seattle Yeattle. Yeah, but that you're right, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: Like they held him down and he still had a
Speaker 1: hundred six yards all right, Let's head to the swamps
Speaker 1: of Jersey. Cook two yards from scrimmage. Cousins back to path,
Speaker 1: fires to the end zone and it's yes, touchdown Ada
Speaker 1: a nine yard touchdown his second today, the second from
Speaker 1: the arm of Kirk Cousins and Minnesota Leeds twenty four ten.
Speaker 1: That is Paul Allen of Vikings Radio Network, not Paul Allen,
Speaker 1: the murder victim in American Psycho. That would be wild.
Speaker 1: That would be hard to achieve. Kirk Cousins threw two
Speaker 1: touchdowns to Adam Feeling. That was Jared Leto's character in
Speaker 1: the film Just Well rewatch on that Please tell further
Speaker 1: into it. Kirk Cousins threw two touchdowns to Adam DeLand
Speaker 1: Delvin Cook. David Cook had more than two hundred yards
Speaker 1: of total offense and the Vikings humbled Giants rookie Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones victory h Yeah, Jones is probably pretty humble guy actually,
Speaker 1: so I don't know if he was humbled, but it
Speaker 1: was a reminder or maybe a first lesson that um
Speaker 1: being a quarterback at the highest level, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: bad days. Everybody has them. This was jones first bad game.
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins um apologize to Adam Feeling on a podcast
Speaker 1: this week that was still pretty weird. We didn't really
Speaker 1: delve into that as much as we probably should have.
Speaker 1: Like podcast, it's like kicking it. That's also weird person.
Speaker 1: But anyway, like and that's you know, that's the problem.
Speaker 1: I know, lodged onto your radar, but it's just how
Speaker 1: he operates. But action beats contrition, and he targeted his
Speaker 1: number one boy, my number one boy, eight times. Theland
Speaker 1: responded with seven catches for Buck thirty two t ds
Speaker 1: and tens. The final um that featured a Vikings Dalvid
Speaker 1: Cook fumble at the one yard line after he had
Speaker 1: broken a long run when they were going in. It
Speaker 1: featured a Vikings first and goal from the one where
Speaker 1: they got held from to three points, and it also
Speaker 1: the Vikings kneeling on the ball inside the Giants five
Speaker 1: as the game ended. So this wasn't really even close
Speaker 1: this game. The Vikings a team who caught a ton
Speaker 1: of heat uh leading up to this game, and they're
Speaker 1: still probably issues with this team. But what was that?
Speaker 1: Who's that you hit the button? Hit the wrong button?
Speaker 1: Apologies a human sound of cough. I mean it's it's good.
Speaker 1: After six years of doing this, we're just looking for
Speaker 1: new experiences. I have like a ninety nine point nine
Speaker 1: percent successfully with the cough button. We got the other
Speaker 1: part of it today without looking. So you do cough
Speaker 1: a lot, just a lot of coffee. But a long
Speaker 1: time ago, are you still vaping? The vaping is very dangerous,
Speaker 1: chemical marks, not a vapor. People are apparently dying from
Speaker 1: reading articles that are quite suspicious chemical burns bro um. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so it got the there are still issues, you imagine
Speaker 1: in Minnesota in that locker room. Stefon Diggs who ended
Speaker 1: up getting a big beefy fine this week for missing
Speaker 1: practices and meetings. And he wasn't exactly a huge part
Speaker 1: of this offense for four targets, three catches for forty four,
Speaker 1: but you're getting feeling involved. Dalvin Cook a little bit
Speaker 1: of a slappy ball ball game from me. He put
Speaker 1: the ball on the ground twice, lost the fumble as
Speaker 1: I said, but also again showed that he is just
Speaker 1: basically when he gets in space, There's very few guys
Speaker 1: who are as terrifying as him. And the Giants UH
Speaker 1: defense playing very thin to the linebacker position and you
Speaker 1: see that with great, wide open swaths of space. So
Speaker 1: check this game out. They had almost five yards the
Speaker 1: total offense Minnesota and they took the foot off the
Speaker 1: pedal in the second half. UM so a very one
Speaker 1: sided win. And my last point before I throw to
Speaker 1: you guys is UH. And we talked about this west
Speaker 1: on Sky Sports. Kirk Cousins and play action have been
Speaker 1: that is a bread and butter. It should be for
Speaker 1: this offense, but it hadn't been all season. But in
Speaker 1: this game he went nuts with it, and you saw
Speaker 1: how dangerous they can be when they sell the Dalblin
Speaker 1: Cook aspect of the offense and then use their big
Speaker 1: receivers UH and play action yardage almost matched all their
Speaker 1: total up into Sunday with one game today. Well, I
Speaker 1: think you know Kirk kept the Wolves at bay for
Speaker 1: another week. Now he returns home to face the Eagles,
Speaker 1: coming off a pair of impressive games and we have
Speaker 1: said you trust in Kirk and the Vikings offense when
Speaker 1: they're clearly the better team playing at home. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're clearly better than the one pm game
Speaker 1: that no one's paying attention against the depleted defense, But
Speaker 1: you know, you can only play the team in front
Speaker 1: of you. And he came out after this week and
Speaker 1: he had more yards in the first half by far
Speaker 1: than the Giants had the entire game. Dalvin Cook also
Speaker 1: had more yards in this game than the Giants had
Speaker 1: the entire game. They had two d and eleven yards,
Speaker 1: so it was a complete game from their entire team,
Speaker 1: which is a veteran a veteran thing to do. There
Speaker 1: too two and two teams entering this game, and yet
Speaker 1: you know, as Dan said, they're they're really not close.
Speaker 1: I think they're the team that's gonna make a fool
Speaker 1: out of us week after week because we're gonna overreact.
Speaker 1: In theory. They got players, though, so I'm not sure
Speaker 1: about that because they have well okay, but I I
Speaker 1: see them as an eight and eight team and they're
Speaker 1: gonna do what they did last week, and then next
Speaker 1: week they're gonna go have a breakdown when we're all
Speaker 1: freaking out again. I'm never going to pick them to
Speaker 1: lose at home. Well there. I still believe in them,
Speaker 1: I really do. And what extent though, what to what limit?
Speaker 1: And where do they think they could potentially win the division?
Speaker 1: I think they have a chance to go to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl? Why not If they don't, I don't buy this.
Speaker 1: The first five games of your season winds up telling
Speaker 1: you what they're gonna be. And what I see is
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on this team and a lot
Speaker 1: of people that have been together and they're not They
Speaker 1: haven't hurt themselves with bad losses, so I think they're
Speaker 1: a team that can change. It's a test very much
Speaker 1: on my radar the issues internally, because if that is
Speaker 1: festering in late September early October, if there is more drama,
Speaker 1: if there's more struggles in the field, that could be
Speaker 1: something where the locker room blows apart. But I think
Speaker 1: from a talent standpoint, I still think this is a
Speaker 1: talented offense. I still think the defense is talented. We
Speaker 1: saw today, uh where Jones was just kind of never
Speaker 1: comfortable in this game. They sacked him four times, hit
Speaker 1: him a bunch more. He averaged less than five yards
Speaker 1: per attempted the Danny dimes in the Gabbard zone. Uh so,
Speaker 1: a nice game for the Vikings Cousins. Nice bounce back game.
Speaker 1: But yes, let's see where they are next week, because
Speaker 1: people will be watching up to the talent every week.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's no one's questioning that they're talented players.
Speaker 1: They're not terrible shape. I'm not I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 1: not shooting them off Earth's surface into deep space. It's
Speaker 1: just I'm allowed to look at a couple of these
Speaker 1: teams with a suspicious eye versus shoving all of them
Speaker 1: into the NFC title game. They're not all gonna make it,
Speaker 1: of course. It's more just like whether we're ruling them
Speaker 1: out now, and I just don't see that that Wait,
Speaker 1: the NFC North is tricky. Though all four teams are
Speaker 1: above five after five weeks. You just don't see that
Speaker 1: almost ever. And I don't think any of them are
Speaker 1: flukey in terms of how they got to their records,
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very tricky to get out of.
Speaker 1: That's beginning yang for the a F North. I operated
Speaker 1: down on the ground. Let's move on Watson then, with
Speaker 1: two receivers, to left, Deshan gets the snap looking left,
Speaker 1: Watson throwing Tamfield and he's got Fuller across the fifty
Speaker 1: tap five rock and roll flucks down Will Fuller and
Speaker 1: that seal stuff deal awesome. Love it, Mark vander me
Speaker 1: or one of my favorite calls from you that I've
Speaker 1: ever heard. Sleep well, my friend. Deshaun Watson through for
Speaker 1: a career high four six yards and tied his personal
Speaker 1: best five touchdown passes, including three to that man Will Fuller.
Speaker 1: Texans drop a fifty burger on the garbage falcon, a
Speaker 1: stink fifty three to thirty two final Fuller finished with
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventeen. I'm telling you this is a
Speaker 1: Fantasy Goldline Week five. Some of these monster performances seventeen
Speaker 1: yards for will Filler Fuller, who, by the way is
Speaker 1: their number two receivers. So that's pretty cool. Greg. When
Speaker 1: the Texans are right there are positively scary. This is
Speaker 1: such a fun game and performance for you guys to
Speaker 1: watch on game pass. I think something to point out
Speaker 1: with that radio call, which was really well done. It
Speaker 1: was still a game. Then it's third and five. It's
Speaker 1: a one possession game, under two minutes to go and
Speaker 1: I think most teams would either call a run there.
Speaker 1: Because the Falcons had no time outs, you could have
Speaker 1: burned the clock down about one twenty or you could
Speaker 1: have called a very safe pass. But what do they do?
Speaker 1: They make up a play as they go along. Fuller
Speaker 1: adjusted that route. He saw what the defense was doing,
Speaker 1: Watson saw him, makes a beautiful throw. Watson is as
Speaker 1: streaky as any quarterback in the league. I mean, they
Speaker 1: scored twenty four points combined in their first two home games.
Speaker 1: They put fifty three. He's streaky sometimes within games. This
Speaker 1: game was all just one good streak. Poor at Ryan's
Speaker 1: trying to come back in this game. And here are
Speaker 1: the Texans last nine possessions and they only had ten
Speaker 1: touchdown touchdown, field goal, end of half. Okay, the Falcons
Speaker 1: are still ahead at that point, despite you know, Texans
Speaker 1: doing well. Okay, we're fighting back alright, touchdown field goal. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Falcons. They're still in this game. It's one possession
Speaker 1: even though they haven't stopped touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: just like, give me a chance to come back in
Speaker 1: this game. There's no chance. This defense is wretched. And
Speaker 1: after the game, Arthur blank, you know, gave his coaching
Speaker 1: staff the old vote of confidence. But the bloggers who
Speaker 1: are about Falcons fans and watching the coaches film and
Speaker 1: breaking this down every week are pointing out how poorly
Speaker 1: coached this defense is. It's san Quinn, which who was
Speaker 1: also the defensive coordinator of one of the great defenses
Speaker 1: of the century in Seattle, so things can change. And
Speaker 1: dan Quinn, who I think lived up to the promise
Speaker 1: early on. And now you get into a weird space
Speaker 1: with these young coaching guys who the message at this
Speaker 1: point is fraid and it's lost because what are you
Speaker 1: telling anyone that you stand for as the Falcons head
Speaker 1: coach when everything was based around urgent, relentless defense. Zero
Speaker 1: sacks on Watson, That's what flips the switch on Watson
Speaker 1: when he's not getting taken down five, six, seven times
Speaker 1: in a game and not to the ground twelve or
Speaker 1: thirteen times. But they almost had a Gholston in this game.
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons had one quarterback hit, no sacks. Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson has been protected pristinely three straight weeks, and I
Speaker 1: know he took a lot of sacks last week. He
Speaker 1: he had got great pass protection in that game a
Speaker 1: week ago. That was not a great performance for him
Speaker 1: and the play calling and everyone else. And this team
Speaker 1: looks awfully dangerous when he's protected and Will Fuller's healthy
Speaker 1: and Kiki qt had a really good game when they're
Speaker 1: they're just adding weapons to this group. They're a weird team.
Speaker 1: Can I throw weird it? So like with the Vikings,
Speaker 1: Like the Texans have their issues all over the place,
Speaker 1: and they're a weird team. But to me, I look
Speaker 1: at their ceiling and I'll say, I'm not gonna I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna count you out of anything at all on
Speaker 1: any level from a psychic level. I look at the
Speaker 1: Vikings to just say, I don't feel that way. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the difference is. Maybe it's totally illogical.
Speaker 1: Here's that is that good old line. And I feel
Speaker 1: like Houston they have to contend with two incredible superpowers
Speaker 1: in their own conference. Though, Like when you want to
Speaker 1: talk about ceilings on a team out in their division,
Speaker 1: and so talking about if you were trying to play
Speaker 1: in February here right there, trying to get a home
Speaker 1: game in the playoffs and start there, and then you
Speaker 1: can see what happens and j j Watt had one of,
Speaker 1: if not his best games since he's returned from his
Speaker 1: injury today too, So there's just a lot of night
Speaker 1: nice signs for this team. All right, let's move on,
Speaker 1: get excited. WESTC five man pressure protection is good? Flacco froze.
Speaker 1: Why don't people receive the flat coast? There? He pull's wife.
Speaker 1: So I'm down the sideline. Twenty fights to the lines,
Speaker 1: touchdown Denver. It is a touchdown injection run of seventy
Speaker 1: yards and Denver is in front. Nothing over the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Dave Logan with the called Broncos Radio Network. Yes, West,
Speaker 1: the Broncos are off the schny at Joe Flacco connected
Speaker 1: on a long one to Courtland Sutton Philip Lindsay piled
Speaker 1: up a hundred forty seven yards of total offense. I
Speaker 1: think fas y'all. That defense shut out the Chargers in
Speaker 1: the first half, held on for a win at the
Speaker 1: dignity and health for all park um Wes. They got
Speaker 1: it done well. They controlled this game from the outset,
Speaker 1: and there were a few scary moments in the second
Speaker 1: half when the offense went in the tank for about
Speaker 1: straight minutes. Um. I don't think they had a first
Speaker 1: down in the third quarter as they wanted. They did
Speaker 1: not have a first down in the third quarter. Um,
Speaker 1: but the Broncos defense had their best game of the year.
Speaker 1: And you're not gonna see a huge box score for
Speaker 1: von Miller and Malik Read, but they both played well.
Speaker 1: Malik Read is the undrafted rookie filling in for Bradley Chubb.
Speaker 1: He played well. Kareem Jackson had three or four huge plays,
Speaker 1: including knocking the ball out of Austin Ekeler's hands as
Speaker 1: he was diving for the pylon on the last play
Speaker 1: of the first half. It was a really good performance
Speaker 1: by the Broncos d and frankly their running game, which
Speaker 1: has been good all year and they have they have
Speaker 1: controlled the clock, this offense has They just have had
Speaker 1: so many untimely penalties from their offensive line, killing their
Speaker 1: running game, killing their momentum. And in this today they
Speaker 1: got through that. Philip Lindsay was spectacular and was uh
Speaker 1: he had he had a cut and some suddenness in
Speaker 1: the four minute offense that was, you know, got me
Speaker 1: out of my seat. It was so impressive. What I
Speaker 1: mean the play that you mentioned West at the end
Speaker 1: of the first half being able to keep Eckler out
Speaker 1: of the end zone there and preserve with seventeen point lead,
Speaker 1: and then Rivers goes down the field and throws that interception.
Speaker 1: That's fourteen points um nine times out of ten with
Speaker 1: the Chargers in their offense. But give Denver credit for
Speaker 1: making the stands. I didn't think Rivers looked comfortable all game.
Speaker 1: He should have had a couple more passes picked off.
Speaker 1: He did not play well, and they had no running game.
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon came back and we assumed that he and
Speaker 1: Ekeler would maybe go back to being one of the
Speaker 1: best tandems in the league. They had nineteam first downs
Speaker 1: zero zero came via the run for seven yards for
Speaker 1: they opened up and that first half with the with
Speaker 1: the fumble at the end, punt, interception, miss field goal
Speaker 1: which was a killer, then that fumble at the end,
Speaker 1: come out of it with three straight punts and interception.
Speaker 1: They can't This is the Chargers team that loses you
Speaker 1: because they cannot get out of their own way. They
Speaker 1: haven't looked right all year. I know, they're just two
Speaker 1: and three and they've had some moments. I think Rivers
Speaker 1: has played really well until this until this week. They
Speaker 1: played well, but he's had some ill time turnovers, which
Speaker 1: Joe Flaccos hadn't had it in this game too, he
Speaker 1: had to. One was on a on a tip pass.
Speaker 1: But there's something it's the defense mostly, but there's something
Speaker 1: like not jelling with this team. Maybe that's what happens
Speaker 1: when you lose five to six starters to injury and
Speaker 1: you don't have a home field because once again this
Speaker 1: was a Broncos home game, and Rivers has to overcome
Speaker 1: that offensive line every week. He does a good job
Speaker 1: of it. But they have scored thirteen points or fewer
Speaker 1: and three of the last four games. And every every
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen catch and he didn't have many today for
Speaker 1: free had a big drop to I. I always just
Speaker 1: think of Wow, it's crazy the numbers Alan puts up
Speaker 1: when so many of those catches and throws are tough throws,
Speaker 1: Like it's not like they're getting Keenan Allen open. It's
Speaker 1: just a hard way to run an offense. By the
Speaker 1: way West, big road win here, oh and four, history
Speaker 1: tells us you're done now one and for it. And
Speaker 1: now they get back to back games in Denver, where
Speaker 1: I know they've lost two games in a heart bake
Speaker 1: breaking fashion. But they're tough, they're well. West is on
Speaker 1: the roller coaster, so we're on it with him, home
Speaker 1: against not on it, Titoons next week winn AA bowball game,
Speaker 1: of course, and then home against the Chiefs on a
Speaker 1: short week on Thursday night football. I think that Titans
Speaker 1: game might be the only game all year the Broncos
Speaker 1: play a team with a worse offensive line than they have. Troublesome,
Speaker 1: Let's move on. I tried thirty one yard attempt by
Speaker 1: Zane Gonzalez to win the game, tied at twenty three
Speaker 1: with two seconds to go. The whole the snap's good,
Speaker 1: the balls down, the kick is up, the kick here's good.
Speaker 1: Break out, the boat ties. This one's for Mr b.
Speaker 1: Cardinals win it twenty three, the first win of the
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury era. Wow. Like that call? Of course, Bill
Speaker 1: built Bidwell, the team's original owner who passed away last week. Yes,
Speaker 1: so the Cardinals win one for Bidwell. Rookie Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: ran for a touchdown and lead the Cardinals on a
Speaker 1: drive that ended with Zane gonzalez thirty one yard field
Speaker 1: goal in the final play. Cardinals, Yes, get that first
Speaker 1: win under Cliff Kingsbury twenty three over the Bengals, who
Speaker 1: stink in their own building. Man, Greg look like, look
Speaker 1: like for a moment. The Bengals have find a way
Speaker 1: to spend their misery for at least one week. But
Speaker 1: Murray's yeah, I just want to say thanks for all,
Speaker 1: you know, as a representative for all the Cardinals fans
Speaker 1: out there, I just assumed covering this game, this would
Speaker 1: be the last game we got to. So it's nice.
Speaker 1: This is, you know, kind of in the middle. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: because Bills Tennessee higher and that was just an oversight,
Speaker 1: so but enjoy it. But you know what it was.
Speaker 1: It was a football game where if you thought, oh,
Speaker 1: these are winless teams and it's probably not gonna be
Speaker 1: very interesting, you know what, you were right. For fifty
Speaker 1: six minutes, the Cardinals should have been up by thirty
Speaker 1: points in this game. They were tripling the Bengals total
Speaker 1: yard and it was twenty three to nine, and suddenly
Speaker 1: the Bengals go wild, score two touchdowns uh in the
Speaker 1: last five minutes to make it a tie game. And
Speaker 1: then Kyler Murray rips off a nice run that reminded
Speaker 1: me a little bit of Michael vick uh in his
Speaker 1: famous run against the Vikings. Yeah, really small version, and
Speaker 1: we talked about it going into this game. If there's
Speaker 1: one thing to like about the Cliff Kingsbury experience, it's
Speaker 1: the running game. And they ran for two hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty six yards. Murray ran for three uh, David Johnson
Speaker 1: had a total of one sixty six from scrimmage and
Speaker 1: even Chase Edmonds had a big run that put the
Speaker 1: game away. David Johnson putting up big numbers week after
Speaker 1: week like the old days, I mean, a lot of
Speaker 1: it's been through the air, so this this is actually encouraging.
Speaker 1: I don't think they have had anything close to this
Speaker 1: on the ground. The Cardinals so far, we're good doing
Speaker 1: pretty good like yards per carrying if you watch like
Speaker 1: they're opening up some holes where It's been a pretty
Speaker 1: good running game throughout the year. The problem is that
Speaker 1: they're trailing so much you don't get to use it.
Speaker 1: So this was a nice game for them where they
Speaker 1: could get a lead against the Bengals team who looked
Speaker 1: so overmatched in the first half. I just was thinking
Speaker 1: this is a low moment for the Andy Dalton They
Speaker 1: were not for the Bengals franchise. We just had some
Speaker 1: low moment moments, but not looking competitive against the Cardinals
Speaker 1: is pretty long. It's a way to win in this game.
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis, what does he? Yeah, Well, is somewhere You're right,
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis is somewhere saying just like, hey, remember this,
Speaker 1: this is what it was like before I was there too.
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis raised the Titanic Chris Wesling, Right, but this
Speaker 1: is a Bengals team that was similar to last year's
Speaker 1: that really had so many backbreaking injuries that you how
Speaker 1: do you even evaluate this Bengals team? That's fair Tyler
Speaker 1: boyd and is the only receiver left. And and the Buzzards.
Speaker 1: The Buzzards are circling our GM. App yes, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of gms, according to Jason lack On for
Speaker 1: of CBS Sports, just circling the Bengals, trying to get
Speaker 1: a j Green, checking in on Geno Atkins, checking in
Speaker 1: on Carlos Dunlap. This is a team going nowhere this year.
Speaker 1: You think they'd say no to moving these guys fun.
Speaker 1: Do you know how that that operation is a mom
Speaker 1: and pop? They are They don't think of things the
Speaker 1: same way other teams do. And I would be surprised
Speaker 1: if they sold off lifelong Bengals like A J. Green,
Speaker 1: Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap. Green is unique. I don't
Speaker 1: think they would with Atkins and you know, probably not
Speaker 1: done Lap. But Green's unique because he's in the last
Speaker 1: year of his contract. He hasn't healthy at all, and
Speaker 1: I think you might get a good offer for him,
Speaker 1: but I don't think you can get a first form
Speaker 1: at this stage with those in If your Minnesota just
Speaker 1: like ship out Stefon Diggs and then you get Stefen
Speaker 1: Dick's contract, I would take that if I'm the Bengals
Speaker 1: and I feel like Minnesota, you know, things like that,
Speaker 1: things cant of the Vikings have solved any of their
Speaker 1: problems with that movie. Green is a rare talent. Why
Speaker 1: not you get you get a J. Green? Who Green? Now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's not even on the field right now. Green
Speaker 1: is the rare talent though, where you might roll the
Speaker 1: dice in that situation one you know, on the short list,
Speaker 1: I mean, did you want to release back on the
Speaker 1: field Diggs when they asked him today if he was
Speaker 1: happy to be in Minnesota. He goes, yeah, I'm happy
Speaker 1: to be here, and then he did did he did
Speaker 1: a one, He did a wink and then a click sound.
Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, I'm happy to be here, and
Speaker 1: then with a little wink and a click. That's what
Speaker 1: you want to hear. A limited amount of problem interest
Speaker 1: in the way these guys are handling their business. You're
Speaker 1: under contract, sometimes you do. I mean you're getting paid
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Let to move on. Let's here
Speaker 1: it for Cliff Kingsbury's first win. Offset I formation set
Speaker 1: up right side the snap, Josh's gonna keep it himself
Speaker 1: running around the left side. Statement, bounce first down Buffalo
Speaker 1: at the nineteen yard line, and the celebration is on
Speaker 1: for the Bills offensive players on the field. One thirty six,
Speaker 1: one thirty five, and the Buffalo Bills are gonna get
Speaker 1: out of Tennessee with a hard funk victory. John Murphy Murph,
Speaker 1: I would call mirth if we were like having bruise.
Speaker 1: I think that's what he goes by. Hey Murph, you'd
Speaker 1: fit right in. Nice guy. Mur about some wings Vegan
Speaker 1: wings for my friend and the arc Is that a thing?
Speaker 1: How do you make a wing sound like where do
Speaker 1: the bones standing? Over and over, let's just point it.
Speaker 1: Come to work, deal with Dan for nine hours, go
Speaker 1: back home, wake up to the same thing again. Travel
Speaker 1: to a foreign country with him, have to deal with
Speaker 1: the same thing on a high octane pitch for eight
Speaker 1: days in a foreign country. Come back to the stage.
Speaker 1: It's reshuffled the deck, same thing, over and over. You
Speaker 1: guys think this is a joke. This is how he
Speaker 1: really feels. Josh third down scramble on the final two
Speaker 1: minutes locked up another win for the Bills, who bounced
Speaker 1: back from last week's near miss against the Patriots with
Speaker 1: a fourteen to seven win over the Titoons in Nashville, West.
Speaker 1: Another big day for the Bill's stud defense and a
Speaker 1: different kind of Kai's Kai to deal with. Huh Kiro
Speaker 1: Santos missed four field goals, two in the fifty yard range,
Speaker 1: two in the thirty something yard range, and that was
Speaker 1: one big problem. The other big problem is this offensive line.
Speaker 1: We've been saying for a while that that Marcus Mariota
Speaker 1: turns pressure into sex as frequently as any quarterback. I
Speaker 1: think it's time to just say this isn't even on
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. This offensive line is brutal. Their guards are terrible.
Speaker 1: Roger Stafford is looking like an early free agent bust.
Speaker 1: The other guard spot. They pushed Nate Davis, a rookie
Speaker 1: third rounder, into the starting lineup. He struggled um Jordan Phillips,
Speaker 1: the Bills defensive tackle had six and a half sacks
Speaker 1: in his career coming into this game, had three in
Speaker 1: the first half, all on third down. I believe well,
Speaker 1: at least Mariotta took three third down Saxon row, which
Speaker 1: is his move. He's gonna use it. But this Titan,
Speaker 1: I think this offensive line is an achilles heel that's
Speaker 1: gonna keep them from being good all year, even with
Speaker 1: getting Taylor Luan back, because that was the should have
Speaker 1: this week. You should have seen the Bills players talking
Speaker 1: trash at Taylor Lawan after the game, saying he's basically
Speaker 1: just a mouth and that's it. We know what his
Speaker 1: weakness is. He can't do with pressure to the inside.
Speaker 1: They were just like we were glad he came back
Speaker 1: so he can get some of this action. Mouth did
Speaker 1: pass alide de dector test I'll throw that out there,
Speaker 1: but that didn't Never want I want to see how
Speaker 1: we verified those results of Taylor Luwan. Hey, we always
Speaker 1: talk about you know, we don't know who these teams are. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's week five, you know they're one week they're up,
Speaker 1: one week they're down. The Buffalo Bills are the same
Speaker 1: team every week, and I'm I'm falling for them, just
Speaker 1: this weird, ugly amalgamation of I don't know, good coaching
Speaker 1: and bad offense. One of one of the things, one
Speaker 1: of the things that they do have every week is
Speaker 1: they don't have a great offense overall. But give Brian
Speaker 1: Dable Chris, that's what I mean. He has called He
Speaker 1: has done package plays at a really high level, where
Speaker 1: guys like Isaiah Mackenzie are taking end arounds for forty
Speaker 1: six yards. They have a lot of guys that they're
Speaker 1: just using for a few plays a game and getting
Speaker 1: a lot out of them. John Brown hit another good
Speaker 1: game too. Some of day Ball's most creative play calling
Speaker 1: came last year when they were even more limited on
Speaker 1: offense and had to do anything to get generate positive yards.
Speaker 1: They four and one, and they're they're a ten win
Speaker 1: team even with this formula, because you're gonna knock out
Speaker 1: another six teams between now and New Year's with this
Speaker 1: defense problem. They have a week schedule. We know both
Speaker 1: of these teams Tytoons are the Tytoons. Also, fans were
Speaker 1: really upset with Mike Vrabel after this game. I didn't
Speaker 1: like watch closely enough because I'm covering two games to
Speaker 1: see why they were upset with him. But they were
Speaker 1: very upset with Mike Vrabel. And don't think he's a
Speaker 1: score to start. Well, yeah they got seven points, but
Speaker 1: to me, that's on the offensive line. Dan, didn't you
Speaker 1: mention it just simply not that this isn't a novelty
Speaker 1: for you, but that you were going you were absolutely
Speaker 1: just gonna wait another week before you even got excited
Speaker 1: about them. Well yeah, I mean, but it's it couldn't
Speaker 1: be everyone who's coming at you. It could not be
Speaker 1: less surprised by the outcome of this game. The offense
Speaker 1: doesn't show up against a good opponent, a good defense.
Speaker 1: You're in your building with a chance to build build
Speaker 1: some momentum. But the Tytoons don't build momentum. They just
Speaker 1: go hot and cold, hot and cold, with nothing in between.
Speaker 1: Remember you were right about Smoky Brown all those years ago.
Speaker 1: By the way, he's a true number receiver when he's healthy.
Speaker 1: It's just the true number one. Though I didn't think
Speaker 1: he had this in him. He's been playing great al right,
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. I used this game to look at that
Speaker 1: guy too. He's still doing well. It's not my heart
Speaker 1: been riding that train for a long time. It's been
Speaker 1: the train has been going. I don't know what. Uh, no,
Speaker 1: rookie Hollywood. Uh this weekend? She is, I don't know
Speaker 1: where she is. She's essentially a part time producer at
Speaker 1: the wedding of our friend Emma. But fair enough. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. Okay, congratulations to Emma. By the way, I'm
Speaker 1: a m a VP of that Vanity podcast what is
Speaker 1: it called? The end the broadcast? All? I thought you
Speaker 1: meant that Dave Damna Chek football program. But she has
Speaker 1: moved on from She has moved on to another comp
Speaker 1: married a man named Brett. A nice guy. Brett's a
Speaker 1: nice guy. He is a very nice guy and no
Speaker 1: bile behind the glass, filling in and doing great work
Speaker 1: so far. Um, the one thing you have to work
Speaker 1: on the bill is the the drop. We might not
Speaker 1: have fluded you in on it yet. So he has
Speaker 1: like a PFF score right now, you're too fine. Just
Speaker 1: a little orson Wells and we're going to get that
Speaker 1: up to a hundred. He's the Mitchell Schwartz of right tackle.
Speaker 1: Can we get in a bill cam for the YouTube show?
Speaker 1: I mean, the kid deserves it, he's killing it, does
Speaker 1: They didn't even get a camera. Look, Bartlett behind the
Speaker 1: glass says no, no camera from the buy. He's like
Speaker 1: he hasn't earned it on his hair today for that's
Speaker 1: still giving him the rookie treatment. Let him go, all right?
Speaker 1: There were two truly dreadful NFC uh NFC East versus
Speaker 1: a f C East game, so let's knock those outcaud
Speaker 1: I try to go power one again. They go fourth
Speaker 1: rolls now fires recepted and recepted by Gary the SIDEWI
Speaker 1: Coast day for Garry, fut South day for Gary, and
Speaker 1: he comes with the good. So the pick six by
Speaker 1: Nathan Gary holds up. Nathan Gary, yes, indeed returned an
Speaker 1: interception for a score. Orlando Scandrick took a strip sack
Speaker 1: the distance as well two defensive scores for the Eagles,
Speaker 1: who route the Jets thirty one to six. In Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: The Eagles savaged third string Jets quarterback Luke Fowk to
Speaker 1: the tune of ten sacks sixteen quarterback hits. The Jets
Speaker 1: managed a hundred and twenty five yards against the league's
Speaker 1: thirty second ranked defense. Entering Sunday Um the Eagles offense met.
Speaker 1: The one thing UH during this dreadful oh and four
Speaker 1: start for the Jets is that the defense is mostly
Speaker 1: held up Uh. Not been a great unit, but it
Speaker 1: has not been embarrassing. It's been the offense that's been embarrassing.
Speaker 1: And in this case, we saw it again because Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz was held under two yards passing. He only threw
Speaker 1: a touchdown one touchdown past Jordan Howard ran for sixty
Speaker 1: two yards and one touchdown. So a modest day on
Speaker 1: the ground for the Eagles as well. But when you
Speaker 1: have a mismatch um and any team that sends Luke
Speaker 1: Fox out on the field is going to have a mismatch.
Speaker 1: But I think UM with the Jets right now, it's
Speaker 1: it's so beyond Fox. And And there was the report
Speaker 1: Mike Garifolo reported before the game that um Adam Gaze,
Speaker 1: who was confident enough in the idea of Sam Donald
Speaker 1: returning from his mono about that he gave Donald the
Speaker 1: majority of first team reps heading into Friday. UM, and
Speaker 1: then when Donald was a surprise out because his spleen
Speaker 1: had not UM, I don't know us in size, I
Speaker 1: think returned to its It thrust Funk back into the
Speaker 1: first string and you know what that will be. That
Speaker 1: will be what everyone gets on Gaze four. Uh. And
Speaker 1: that's fine. You could have given Luke Fox a hundred
Speaker 1: days of reps in a one in a matter, because
Speaker 1: Luke Fowk is not an NFL quarterback. But on the
Speaker 1: subject of Adam Gaze, there is no way to sugarcoat
Speaker 1: at this point how bad the team looks and they're
Speaker 1: not gonna win these games. They really got screwed with
Speaker 1: the schedule because on top of everything else, they're just
Speaker 1: playing great teams every week, it seems the Jets, But
Speaker 1: it doesn't excuse the embarrassment week after week and the
Speaker 1: fact that they in this game, they didn't look prepared
Speaker 1: at all coming off a bye week. So I'm I'm
Speaker 1: kind of reaching the point and wondering if Adam Gaze
Speaker 1: could be in danger if Sam Donald doesn't come back
Speaker 1: and absolutely uh turn this team instantly into a competitive unit.
Speaker 1: Because I think it's gotten that bad and that embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I would imagine for Christopher Johnson and Jets owner the Jets,
Speaker 1: this is not a great set up for Sam Donald.
Speaker 1: You've got an angry Cowboys team followed by the Patriots
Speaker 1: followed by the Jaguars, and the latter two can damage
Speaker 1: a quarterback if they want to. And I would say
Speaker 1: it's probably a great thing that Sam Donald was not
Speaker 1: out there today. If he were to take even half
Speaker 1: the punishment that Luke folketon, well it should be not yes,
Speaker 1: no half. There's no way that that Sam Donald takes
Speaker 1: ten sacks. Fox is completely overwhelmed and he held onto
Speaker 1: the ball too long. He had a deer in the
Speaker 1: headlights look for the entire game. He's just not a
Speaker 1: pro quarterback. Maybe he develops in time, but he's an
Speaker 1: undrafted practice squad player that is just getting killed against
Speaker 1: great NFL teams. Adding Gaze Blaze, he's a pro quarterback
Speaker 1: so much that he's employed him at two places and
Speaker 1: brought him with him, So I think he deserves at
Speaker 1: least some of that. Luke Fox, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: I think that watching the Jets is impossible right now,
Speaker 1: and Gaze deserves a lot of blame for that. Even
Speaker 1: with the fact that they've lost two quarterbacks, it has
Speaker 1: been that bad for them. Fourteen drives, nine first downs.
Speaker 1: They did score touchdown on offense for the first time
Speaker 1: this week. One it happened after a muff punt by
Speaker 1: the Eagles. But you know, Chio Capatia of the Athletics
Speaker 1: wrote a stat that only three times since the start
Speaker 1: of last year has a team average under two point
Speaker 1: five yards per play, and the fox last two starts
Speaker 1: are two of those three. It goes to n So
Speaker 1: there you go. The NFL maybe is not the league
Speaker 1: for Luke faul. No, he'll be an XFL quarterback in
Speaker 1: about a year or two. Um, this is the worst
Speaker 1: star to jut season in my lifetime. And that's saying
Speaker 1: they are that bad. Eagles. Eagles the last two weeks
Speaker 1: have gotten off the mat you know in the schedule
Speaker 1: helps him out this week, but with so many in
Speaker 1: reason and they still have them. Uh, that's pretty crucial
Speaker 1: for a team that now is tied for the NFC
Speaker 1: East lead. And check this out. Yes they're now they're
Speaker 1: three and two and the Jets was a great basic
Speaker 1: practice run through. Now they go on a three game
Speaker 1: road trip where they get at Minnesota, at Dallas, at Buffalo,
Speaker 1: then they come home for Bears Patriots, Seahawks. That is
Speaker 1: a gauntlet. That's a gauntlet, and you you imagine you
Speaker 1: would sign off maybe for three and three there wait
Speaker 1: to Tucker would be super Bowl run. If you're a
Speaker 1: wild card team into the middle of your season, would
Speaker 1: you be happy with three and three? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Probably not. You're probably if you few yourself as a
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender, you want to win four of those six.
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna be easy. I would imagine the
Speaker 1: Eagles look at their roster and think, we can beat
Speaker 1: any team any week. We should beat any team any week.
Speaker 1: Let us move on to the nation's capital or close
Speaker 1: to it. Landover that's in the Middy under center on
Speaker 1: the retreat, dropping back, he's pressure, he rolls wife, he
Speaker 1: throws a coming rightside for an open bowl and catch
Speaker 1: it for Farndon. Then Joe touchdown. Patriots Brandon Bolden shades
Speaker 1: of Denver several years ago in the snow got the
Speaker 1: gout you last year when he was in Miami, have
Speaker 1: two big touchdown runs. They bring him out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: He goes off the tight end, little double move, will
Speaker 1: route and it's a perfect throw by Brady. It's twenty
Speaker 1: nine yard touchdown the Brandon bold Yeah, that is enough,
Speaker 1: come down. We let him out of jail. That's not
Speaker 1: getting Really, this is the official song of the Patriots.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear it's sixteen or seventeen more times. Bob
Speaker 1: Sochi and Scott Zolak with the call Patriots Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady throws for three yards three touchdowns, including that
Speaker 1: hook up the Brandon Bolden, and the Pats got another
Speaker 1: strong performance from their d to seven win over the Redskins,
Speaker 1: who are still looking for a w. Some of these
Speaker 1: bad teams are just dragging down our schedule week after
Speaker 1: week with non competitive games, and the Jets and Washington
Speaker 1: are two of them. Mark, what did you take away
Speaker 1: from this game featuring teams on opposite sides of the
Speaker 1: pro football spectrum. You know that I like to call
Speaker 1: games early on and just see if it's sticks. And
Speaker 1: my internal game of our buzzer hit when Mike Nugent
Speaker 1: nailed a thirty seven yard field goal to put New
Speaker 1: England up nine to six, and there was the reason
Speaker 1: was very simple that you knew that Washington got an
Speaker 1: early touchdown off a pretty crazy reverse by a guy
Speaker 1: name let me Steven Sims Jr. The undrafted rookie, and
Speaker 1: that put him up early. But then you could tell
Speaker 1: right away that this call McCoy led offense. And it
Speaker 1: hurt me to to observe this so early in the game.
Speaker 1: Was doomed, utterly doomed. And New England the one takeaway.
Speaker 1: And I know it looks absurd inside a game that
Speaker 1: wound up thirty three to seven, little concerned about their
Speaker 1: offense through the first thirty minutes of this because they
Speaker 1: they put a lot The Redskins put a ton of
Speaker 1: heat on Brady and I know that we know he's
Speaker 1: one of the slowest guys, but he looked extra slow,
Speaker 1: like shoes filled with the mixture of I know they
Speaker 1: would say cement, so cement plus like iron fillings and
Speaker 1: like car parts that you could fit in there. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just he's running like a man that did
Speaker 1: not fit out there athletically. They threw the ball thirty
Speaker 1: one times in the first half, basically gave up on
Speaker 1: the ground game and just went after the Redskins until
Speaker 1: they kind of pushed their way through them. I don't
Speaker 1: see a lot of chemistry between Tom Brady and Josh
Speaker 1: Gordon at this point for the kind of player that
Speaker 1: you think Josh Gordon could be. But Edelman took the
Speaker 1: game over in the second half. The defense was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And to me, that's a lot on the Redskins that
Speaker 1: just have no They have no there's nothing about them
Speaker 1: that gives them any hint of identity. It's shut down
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson in a wanting quarterback behind it, one of
Speaker 1: a line that looked as bad as any line in
Speaker 1: the NFC in the first half of this game. I
Speaker 1: don't know what. Gruden doesn't even care anymore. By the way,
Speaker 1: after the game, Uh, he's asked again as he's asked
Speaker 1: every week now, and it cannot be easy, you know,
Speaker 1: do you think you're gonna get fired soon? And he said, well,
Speaker 1: I'll see if my key card works on Monday, which
Speaker 1: is an honest response because if I imagine, he feels
Speaker 1: very much in the dark, uh, and his own organization
Speaker 1: right now, which has to be a tough situation. And
Speaker 1: he also said that when they asked me thought he's
Speaker 1: been given enough time to turn this program around, and
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. That is a guy who knows. Look,
Speaker 1: I've had one of the toughest jobs in sports and
Speaker 1: and I fought the good fight for a while, and
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen for me. And I know. Adrian
Speaker 1: Peterson had an amazing quote when asked about the Patriots defense,
Speaker 1: and he said they showed a lot, a lot of
Speaker 1: exotic stuff on film, but against us, they didn't really
Speaker 1: you know, it was like, Hey, we'll sit back here
Speaker 1: and see what you guys do and allow you guys
Speaker 1: to mess up. That's a Hall of Fame player who's
Speaker 1: diagnosing that the Patriots are basically dialing it back against
Speaker 1: the Redskins because they know they can what an advantage
Speaker 1: not show anything on film for a regular season week.
Speaker 1: I hope Jake Gruden meets up with Red and they
Speaker 1: go to Zee Watton Neo and he just chills for
Speaker 1: a while. He's earned it. Yeah, poor Gruden. They even
Speaker 1: you know those video services of him partying. Uh, and
Speaker 1: you wonder the timing on that. It's just it's a
Speaker 1: horrible situation. You just when that job becomes available, as
Speaker 1: it inevitably will, um in January. Who who wants that job?
Speaker 1: And I know there's there's only thirty two of these
Speaker 1: jobs in the world, and being a head coach is
Speaker 1: always the goal for anybody that's starting from when you're
Speaker 1: you know, coaching peewee football. But God, this just feels
Speaker 1: like a hopeless situation Washington right now. Maybe Adam no
Speaker 1: more Patriots, bring Jim Zorn back. No more Patriots Bears comparisons, please,
Speaker 1: until they play a real offense. I mean, I've never
Speaker 1: made I I'm surprised that everyone coming out of that
Speaker 1: Bill's game especially didn't think, oh, the Bill's defense is
Speaker 1: the best one on the field. I think any defense
Speaker 1: in today's NFL is gonna heart have a hard time
Speaker 1: truly dominated. I'm with you on the page of defense,
Speaker 1: the best defense in the league, and they've been lights
Speaker 1: out since what the first half of the a f
Speaker 1: C Championship game last week last year. But let's see,
Speaker 1: let's see him play somebody. I mean, this must be
Speaker 1: coming from people who never saw the five Bears, who
Speaker 1: would not only stomp you, but knock your quarterback out
Speaker 1: of the game every week. It's statistical, that's Scott's piling up.
Speaker 1: But it's all because they lost Philip or set to
Speaker 1: hamstring injury early. That's that could be a pretty big
Speaker 1: loss if it's for a while. Because they're thin. They're
Speaker 1: thin there. They'll be fun. They'll be fun offense, you know. Oh,
Speaker 1: they're in the market for for offensive help. They're one
Speaker 1: of the teams connected to all these receivers. Let's go
Speaker 1: with just get digs in there, get a j Green,
Speaker 1: bring Antonio Brown back, get in there. Could he use
Speaker 1: a guy like Brown maybe later in the season. Let's
Speaker 1: move on to Sunday night football homes under center, hands
Speaker 1: off the Damnian lawyers docked up, but got it, don't sir?
Speaker 1: Houston coming up sorts again for the big fellow the
Speaker 1: Cults Knights, and there gets a tackle for loss on
Speaker 1: fourth down and the Cults takeover and plus territory inside
Speaker 1: the chief threty five yard line. You heard it, Matt Taylor,
Speaker 1: the Cults Radio Network, the justin Houston. Revenge game, revenge game,
Speaker 1: revenge game, revenge games are undefeated. He makes the big
Speaker 1: stop on fourth down, basically putting a bow on an
Speaker 1: incredible effort by the Cults. You go into arrowhead, those
Speaker 1: are this horrible music It's like Dirk Diggler's band. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got the touch. It's a good band. The fact
Speaker 1: that Huey Lewis is resorting to these cheap tactics to
Speaker 1: get a cheap bucks, shame on you, shadowy league figures.
Speaker 1: Look what you've done to ours. That a little back
Speaker 1: although kind of looks like the producer from the studio book,
Speaker 1: But oh what a disgrace. All right? Anyway, Colts win.
Speaker 1: Colts win in a game they absolutely um dominated time
Speaker 1: of possession seven minutes and fifteen seconds. And yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Chris Westling, the Chiefs were beat up in this game.
Speaker 1: Guys went down and once Patrick Mahomes got spiked by
Speaker 1: his teammate and the ankle, he was never the same quarterback.
Speaker 1: And that probably or may have swung this game. But
Speaker 1: the culture beat up too. They deserve a lot of
Speaker 1: credit for what they were able to pull off tonight.
Speaker 1: Well before this game, nobody had ever held Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: and Adie Reid under twenty six points and the Colts
Speaker 1: haved that, So give them a ton of credit. And
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins left with the hamstring injury. They had some
Speaker 1: offensive line injuries. Like you said, the Mahomes injury that
Speaker 1: it didn't feel like we were dealing with a full
Speaker 1: deck of cars. But give the Colts credit. No, what
Speaker 1: did nobody else is stopping this offense? No Chris Jones
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest injury for the Chiefs if that turns
Speaker 1: into a long term injury, But the Colts are gonna
Speaker 1: feel bad for anyone. And when it comes to injuries,
Speaker 1: they're missing both their two starting safeties. They're missing Darius Leonard.
Speaker 1: And what they've found in this three and to start
Speaker 1: before they thereby is a backbone and an identity that's
Speaker 1: up front, and that means there's a small margin for air.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the most talented team one to
Speaker 1: fifty three in the league, but they're in every game,
Speaker 1: and in a game like this where they started just
Speaker 1: running downhill and mashing the Chiefs. There there is a
Speaker 1: spirit to this team, and I think Jacobe Brisette, even
Speaker 1: on a night where he didn't play that well, fits
Speaker 1: within this spirit that seems like a tone setter for them. Right.
Speaker 1: Anthony Costanzo is playing well and I think the coach
Speaker 1: gives them real advantages every week. I see plays that
Speaker 1: Frank Reich draws up that are beautiful and that his
Speaker 1: players execute well, but that you don't see on most teams.
Speaker 1: I love their defense too. It's like guys like Carrie
Speaker 1: Willis and Grover Stewart, Bobby o creat like these are stars.
Speaker 1: You can call about the justin Houston revenge game, but
Speaker 1: you gotta check the box score to get the full
Speaker 1: name on these because because they're they're an emerging defense
Speaker 1: and they play very well together. And this, to me
Speaker 1: is the kind of game I'll sign up for every time.
Speaker 1: Because the Colts kept offering these seven a half, eight
Speaker 1: nine minute punished four team play three five yard drive,
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen that. What better method,
Speaker 1: what better recipe to take the Chief's offense out? Now
Speaker 1: that the injuries reduced Kansas City to sault tonight, but
Speaker 1: that this is the recipe. The four teen play thirty
Speaker 1: five yard drive that covered eight minutes and thirty four
Speaker 1: seconds and ended with an Adam Vinetieri thirty one yard
Speaker 1: field goal. Vinetieri is got things under control here. Hit
Speaker 1: a bunch of really short ones today thirty two, thirty two,
Speaker 1: thirty one and twenty nine. Um. That was the one
Speaker 1: where you saw that the Chiefs were essentially gassed and
Speaker 1: they were getting beaten at the line of screw image
Speaker 1: and getting pushed around. And when the Chiefs got back
Speaker 1: on the field, and you kept on thinking, especially when
Speaker 1: they do get off the field after that long drive
Speaker 1: at six and he's still got a half quarter to play,
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, this is where the Chiefs go
Speaker 1: down the field and take a one point lead. While
Speaker 1: they couldn't do it. The offense just could not get going.
Speaker 1: Uh and Mahomes it, you know, I I hated the
Speaker 1: way this game played out. You know, good on the
Speaker 1: Colts for what they've did done, But when you see
Speaker 1: want to see Patrick Mahomes on Sunday Night football. I'm
Speaker 1: looking for the laser show and to see him and
Speaker 1: he that touchdown pass was vintage Mahomes. But to see
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes limping around is it hurts my heart. And
Speaker 1: I know, uh, Ryan Barlett behind the glasses a cheese fan,
Speaker 1: you're not used to that because he's so He's been
Speaker 1: so brilliant. It was just that watching the Colts from
Speaker 1: a different perspective and it wasn't an easy watch. I
Speaker 1: think they the Colts might have a star on Cory
Speaker 1: Willis that he's starting for injuries, but he might be
Speaker 1: hard to take out the lineup. Bobby Yoga Riki's playing
Speaker 1: well as Mark said, and Grover Still who Chris Collins
Speaker 1: were act like he never heard of him. This guy's
Speaker 1: been playing well ever going back to training camp well
Speaker 1: and Justin Houston had his best game probably as a colt.
Speaker 1: And Comico Terrey returned from an injury and played well
Speaker 1: until he got hurt. Indnico Autrey, who did miss a
Speaker 1: game or two in the middle, has been their best
Speaker 1: player on defense. They they have some players, but Marlon
Speaker 1: Max the guy to me, he's playing behind that great
Speaker 1: offensive line, but I love the way he runs. He's
Speaker 1: very smart about the holes that he picks. Reminds me
Speaker 1: a little bit of a smaller Frank Or who we
Speaker 1: learned from. I think I think he got some tips
Speaker 1: from The Inconvenient Truth. And on the chief side, they're
Speaker 1: running game could not get it going. Damian Williams average
Speaker 1: two and a half yards to carry nine for twenty
Speaker 1: three uh and he was their leading rusher. There was
Speaker 1: just nothing going on for the for the Chiefs h
Speaker 1: in any phase of their offense. They just couldn't get
Speaker 1: it going. Travis Kelsey was quiet. Four catches on ten
Speaker 1: targets Byron Pringle couldn't get that first down, and I
Speaker 1: still have no idea. I need the next tell me
Speaker 1: how he didn't. It was like he almost ran backwards.
Speaker 1: I mean, Kansas City's line is not right, and we
Speaker 1: every week we watch quarterbacks that are not opts. They're
Speaker 1: not operating the way you want them to or the
Speaker 1: way they're being paid because their offensive line is creating
Speaker 1: total hell in front of them. This happened for a
Speaker 1: lot of reasons tonight, but Patrick Mahomes was not able
Speaker 1: to just do this on his own. He's not getting
Speaker 1: the protection. Chiefs in fine shape. At four and one,
Speaker 1: you got the Raiders behind you. At three and two,
Speaker 1: the Chargers are struggling. But I do think the a
Speaker 1: f C, you know, race for a buy and and
Speaker 1: number one seed is gonna be going to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on the whole year. Please. The Chiefs are facing
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The Chiefs are loaded. One one week isn't
Speaker 1: going to change that, but now they're one behind. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about the Chiefs long term unless these injuries
Speaker 1: either continue to pile up or linger because you saw
Speaker 1: they are human. After all. There's talk that they'll get
Speaker 1: tyreek Hill back next week to one little thing on
Speaker 1: the Cults. I don't love that they wound up with
Speaker 1: no timeouts with eleven plus minutes to go, but they
Speaker 1: coached the way out of that with the way they
Speaker 1: played down the stretch. That was like an absolute beat
Speaker 1: down fever dream mid fourth quarter. On To lose Andrew
Speaker 1: Luck and to have the injuries that they've had in
Speaker 1: the first five weeks of the season, it is remarkable.
Speaker 1: They're three and two entering the bye. They're even starting
Speaker 1: to warm the cold heart of Chris Wesley. This entire
Speaker 1: show is around is about trying to get teams to
Speaker 1: win over West. At this point, Wait, I I've shown
Speaker 1: nothing but appreciate kidding. I was originally the Cults, and
Speaker 1: maybe once more I get it. Without Andrew Luck, it's
Speaker 1: it's not the same, all right. You know, we gotta
Speaker 1: get on the place. Let's go. We gotta go, we
Speaker 1: gotta do things. So here's the schedule. The heroes. Uh,
Speaker 1: we leave the studio, we handle various NFL dot Com tasks,
Speaker 1: We pack up our suitcases, we get on an airplane
Speaker 1: tomorrow and we head to beautiful London, England for a
Speaker 1: week of fun and football and we can't wait. We'll

Speaker 1: we'll have our live show from Curtain Clubs sold out. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know, scalpers, stay out of it. You know,
Speaker 1: let's not have any active secondary market. We don't need it.
Speaker 1: We don't want it. I mean, unless we're making the
Speaker 1: money off of it. Come to me, don'tly and we
Speaker 1: can work. We don't want like a Mike tysonario where
Speaker 1: he got suspended by the NFL. Want and sat and
Speaker 1: keep you know, keep an eye out on our Twitter.

Speaker 1: Panthers buckstilt. Okay, we got all we gotta pack. It's
