1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: On the inside handoff, he looks around and he gets

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: free to the end zone. Want to play by Campanero belt,

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna switch back to the other side and he's

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: got a running lane. Bell cuts back and takes it

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: to the end zone for the touchdown. Play action and

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: Fix guns it to the end zone and it's the touchdown.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: And this kick is also wide left for the victory

8
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: for the first win of the year for the Ravens.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: And Tucker's kick is good. What it differents a kicker

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: makes Justin Tucker with the game winner and heinz Field.

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: What a heartbreaker. Thursday Night Football. This is Greg Rosenthal.

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm here with Chris Westling. We're gonna get it to

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: all the week four games in just a bit with

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: the whole crew. Of course, Dan Handus and Mark Sessler

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: coming up. But first west we gotta talk about I

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: don't know if this was a classic, but it was

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch, and the Steelers had

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: this game one about six different times. Two missfield goals

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: in the final three minute the game from Josh Scoby,

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: who missed two field goals in the opener in an

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: extra point in the second second week of the season,

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: and he's making three point four million guaranteed this year.

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: He is. Yes, they acquired him for a sixth round pick,

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: after they acquired Brandon Boykin for a fifth round pick,

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: and both have really gone to waste. And I don't

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: think Josh scoby is gonna be on this team. I

27
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: know they gave him a lot of money, but well,

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: they couldn't trust him in overtime twice with fourth downs.

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Both times they put the ball in Michael Vick's hands.

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: Both times Michael Vick failed and Levan Bell was the

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: best player on the field but didn't get his number

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: called with the game on the line. Well, let's let's

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: unpack it all, and let's start really with those fourth

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: down play calls. The Steelers had so many chances to

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: win the game in regulation. They were up twenty to seven,

36
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: there was a key Joe Flacco fourth and one sneak

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: of his own with just a few minutes left of regulation.

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: At that point, everyone thought the game was over, but

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: the Steelers couldn't close it out. There's no rule that

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: you have to just set up along field goal by

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Josh Scobie. So I do think you know they gave

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: the ball to Levy on Bell at times. They gave

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Mike Vick a chance to get key first down to

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: times and he couldn't do it. But what do you

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: think about the fourth down calls a going for it

46
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: at all? And then Mike Vick on the sweep one

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: play and Mike Vick airmailing a pass to Antonio Brown

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: and the other Well, you have to go for it

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: because you you can't trust your kicker. You even said

50
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: before Scobie attempted the fourth quarter field goals, he's missing it.

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: You were confident he was missing. I was saying they

52
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: should go for it. Then I thought you had a

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: better chance of getting I think it was four yards

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: or something like that and winning the game on that

55
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: play than you were with Scobie whinning getting a kick,

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: because you're gonna still give the ball back to Baltimore.

57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: And we both believe that you put it in your

58
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: own team's hands. You don't give it the other team

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: a chance to win, so you direct your own fate.

60
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: And they failed twice. They couldn't take advantage of a

61
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Ravens team that had three fumbles by their quarterback. The

62
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: fourth down that you mentioned, and Seawan Spence made a

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: great play on a fake field goal. Forgot about that.

64
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: There's so many misqs, and the Steelers had misqs both.

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: But but with two minutes left in the fourth quarter,

66
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers hit a percent chance of winning, a point

67
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: one eight chance of winning the You don't see that

68
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: happen too often. I mean, it took the miss kick.

69
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: It also took not picking up a first down, and

70
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: it should be said it also took Joe Flacco, who

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: at one point in the game left the field after

72
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: four straight incompletions a fourth and tent pass actually wasn't

73
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: an incompletion where he took a sack. And at that

74
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: point in the game, like you're saying, right before the

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: two minute awarding, it felt like the Raven season was over.

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: It was owing for Flacco had had an ugly interception,

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: an ugly fumble, did not have any weapons on the field.

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: Steve Smith was hurt. Even Michael kemper Narrow is hurt. Uh.

79
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: You know, Crockett Gilmour wasn't in this game. It looked

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: absolutely he was throwing to Darren Waller and Boyle, who

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: are fifth and sixth round rookies, with a combined two

82
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: receptions coming into the game. It looked absolutely over and

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: to Joe Flacco's credit, it was a bad game, but

84
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: he still does deserve credit for his for his twenty

85
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: five yard throw to Kamar Aiken while he's getting hit

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: on third and long to help set up the game

87
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: tying field goal, because that's a big time throw. And Flacco,

88
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, he's come up with those throws in the passing.

89
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: There's not a ton of quarterbacks who can make that throw.

90
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: It takes a lot of arm strength and he did

91
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: it there and that's that's why he's Joe Flacco. He's

92
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: not the best quarterback in the world, but he can

93
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: come up with those places. It's it's not hyperbole to

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: say that this saved the raven season. Now only one

95
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: team in history Chargers has ever been owing for and

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: made the playoffs. Oh my gosh, So it's it's a

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 1: season saver. And the Steelers were up twenty to seven

98
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: and a third quarter, first time since November of nineteen

99
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: sixty four that they have given up a third team

100
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: point lead at home and this is gonna really hurt

101
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Vic said it was one of the toughest

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: losses of his career. He said the fourth down path

103
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: through Antonio Brown is going to haunt him for a

104
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: long time. I've heard people blame the play call there.

105
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown was open. That was a gimme throw. Look,

106
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: Vick knew it. He had the yips like Scoby did.

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: He did, he just flat out over through the past.

108
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: He talked after the game what a big game it

109
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: was for him in his career, and I think he

110
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: talked about that to the broadcaster. I mean it was

111
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: like he felt it on that play. He felt his

112
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: age almost You started thinking about it a little too much,

113
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: you do, and you wonder if he would have been

114
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: thinking about it if his play caller had more trusted

115
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: him throughout the game. Right, Well, Michael Vick, they didn't

116
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: give him much trust. And we'll move on to all

117
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the game's first, but we do have

118
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: to talk vic quickly. That he only averaged four point

119
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: eight yards per tempt. He completed nineteen and twenty six passes.

120
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: But even when things were going well, every was so short.

121
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: I mean he was in the Gabbard zone despite completing

122
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: almost every path, nothing down the field, and you kind

123
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: of saw late maybe why they didn't trust him. Well, yeah,

124
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: and there's the whole Vic Antonio Brown dynamic Brown streak

125
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: gets of five catches and fifty yards. Just cut short.

126
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: You can blame Vic for the misfires, and they weren't

127
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: on the same page. But at Vick's defense, Antonio Brown

128
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: Anti Antonio Brown dropped a perfectly thrown bomb that not

129
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: only would have given the Steelers six points, but would

130
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: have made Vick's yards per tent a lot higher. That

131
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: that's a good point, and that would have, you know,

132
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: potentially won the game and knocked out their arrivals. I mean,

133
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: for this game to happen against Baltimore two of all

134
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: teams as a killer, because I know what everyone's thinking

135
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: that that roots for an a f C North team.

136
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: They're looking at Baltimore schedule and they see San Francisco

137
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: and Cleveland next, and the Ravens aren't playing great. I mean,

138
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: this was against a Michael victim that made a lot

139
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: of mistakes, but you could see them winning those two games,

140
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: getting back to three and three and being right back

141
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: in the mix. Meanwhile, the Steelers are to realize, well,

142
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be that easy to win games without

143
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. You get a great performance from levy On Bell,

144
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: who doesn't get the ball in those key plays, he

145
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: gets a hundred and fifty arts and scrimmage. You still

146
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: don't win in a good outing from their defense. Defense

147
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: played fine first uh one yard rusher against the Ravens,

148
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: and I believe twenty nine games levy On Bell was

149
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: the best player in the field. Those Steelers do have

150
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: some young talent Stefan too. It was great. Uh Cockrell

151
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: Russ Cock Crell is his roster, the guy they picked

152
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: up from the Bills after he was cut three weeks ago,

153
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: was one of the best players on their defense. And

154
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Bud Dupree looked pretty good too. But you know when

155
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: it mattered, the Ravens power running game ran all over them.

156
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: They did. They did it in overtime, and they gotta win.

157
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: It keeps them at least somewhat in the mix. A

158
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: huge victory. I'm looking forward to this rematch. Ravens Steelers

159
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: always deliver, and I'm especially looking forward to because Steve

160
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: Smith said Mike Mitchell, who knocked him out of the

161
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: game with a hit to his back, is on his

162
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 1: hit list, and you don't want to be on Steve

163
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: Smith's hit list. His Lifetime hit list reminds me of

164
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Fred Schmoot, keep talib, generous, Jenkins. It's not a place

165
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: you want to be, and it's not a place you

166
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: want to be, but you do want to be with

167
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: us to preview all these games, and we are gonna

168
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: get to it. Let's start the preview. The Around the

169
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast only signs proven deals. Welcome back to another

170
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: edition of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is

171
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Dan Jansas, and I'm joined by a room filled with heroes,

172
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Greg rose Ittal. What's up? Boys,

173
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: had a little like a short circuit to start the show.

174
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: I like to clock the show with my iPhone, and

175
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: uh I hadn't hit start immediately as the intro started,

176
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: and then Greg was like, oh, I'll help you out

177
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: hit reset instead of start. The whole thing blown up? Okay, damn,

178
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: great story. Greig is very in touching your personal property.

179
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: I know that was it was an invasion of space,

180
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: and which is usually okay. But then when you's your

181
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: boss can have anything he wants that is yours? Is

182
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: that true? Anxiety? Anything that you think is yours, Greg

183
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: has a right to He's not like they made a

184
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: movie about that with What About My Wife? Harrelson? Was

185
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: your wife decent proposal? I'm not comfortable with this? Well,

186
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: do you want to have a job? I don't know

187
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: if I wanted with that. That's not how companies work.

188
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Maybe here from Mark. He's not King of the Mongrels.

189
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: He's one of Mark's like three jobs. Prior to this,

190
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: someone gave him erroneous information. Ever since, this is the

191
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: Thursday night early Friday edition of Around the NFL podcast.

192
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: Uh you just heard uh. I like to call him

193
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: the B team, but let's face it, they're really an

194
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: A team because they're so knowledgeable and well spoken. Chris

195
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: Westling and Greg Rosenthal, they gave you the recap of

196
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: the Thursday night football matchup between Mark. Tonight's game featured

197
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Steelers. I can't wait to find

198
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: out what they've talked about four minutes. So that is uh,

199
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: that is covered. And and let me tell you something.

200
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: And Greg, you perhaps know this and perhaps don't, so

201
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm here to help you out. There are thirty two teams. However,

202
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: two teams, the Patriots and another team have a bye,

203
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: which means that are only thirty teams and you divide

204
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: thirty by two. Fifteen games this week, that's correct. I

205
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: even know that the other team that's off of potential

206
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: team of a t L candidate back in the day,

207
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans almost Titans. But just just you know,

208
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: that's a bummer that I couldn't even think who you

209
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: were just then. But at the same time, you're a

210
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: real team. Now you could be the Jaguars. They are,

211
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: they are, They're a real football team. So, yes, fifteen games.

212
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: We just talked about the Thursday night games. So we

213
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: got fourteen games to get to and a lot of

214
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: a lot of subplots. Listen, let's let's keep it real.

215
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: Not the juiciest week. There will be better weeks in

216
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: terms of matchups. But at the same time, we're also

217
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: talking about NFL football, and that's fun. We like football,

218
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: don't we, wes I love it. Isn't this though, like

219
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: we don't see the matchup that makes us, you know,

220
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: drawn to to Week four. But sometimes that's when the

221
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: best stuff happens because there it's it's these games that

222
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: we aren't really aren't on our radar, then they blow

223
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: up and become something beautiful, very true. And and I

224
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: suggest we we have podcasts three times a week, the

225
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: Sunday Show of course after Sunday Night Football. We put

226
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: that up. That's also on YouTube, so you can check

227
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: that out. And we read those comments on iTunes, the

228
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: review section on our last show, which was fun. Keep

229
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: leaving comments and leaving the stars. It will lead to

230
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: good things for all of us. And I'm not saying

231
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: just the people in this room, everyone involved with the show.

232
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: So let's get to it. I mean the that's why

233
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: we're here to talk about week four the National Football League.

234
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: And you know this is the first week of the

235
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: NFL International Series as it's called Mark. You were heading

236
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: uh to London in a few weeks with Connor Or

237
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: with Connor or Um. And by the way, check out

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: connor Or has a long form and if he got

239
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: a vanity u r L, which is pretty bad. I

240
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: didn't even know this thing just got dropped out of me.

241
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: I barely knew about it. NFL dot Com slash Victims

242
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: of Prey Birds of Prey. That would be a much darker,

243
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: darker piece, Victims of Prey. It's like a dateline episode.

244
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: Keith Morrison Victims of Prey. Yes, Birds of Prey. That

245
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: reminds me of a really bad live album, remember the

246
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: band Live The singer like became a crazy religious guy

247
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: in the late period of the band, and then he

248
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: named an album Birds of Prey. Then he became basically

249
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: they look exactly the same. So yes, the first game

250
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about, uh, is between my beloved

251
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins, who are in London.

252
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are the home team, and you know who

253
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: else is in London. And let's get him on the

254
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: line right now, Brandon McGinnis. It is his final show.

255
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: We'll get to that later. Um, we have handsome Hank.

256
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: He doesn't like to be called that. That's what he's

257
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: known on the on the Damage Ex Show, we call

258
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: him the Notorious DP Henry Hodgson. What's up about it? Boy?

259
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how you doing? What's going on in London?

260
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: What time is it over there? It is quote, um,

261
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: and I'm to like to speaking to you guys. All right.

262
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: You're a little choppy there initially on the cell phone

263
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: signal and uh, it gives us a little bit of

264
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: pause about this entire segment. Let me reception. Okay, Well,

265
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: this is how we do it. How how is the

266
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: reception been in London for these two teams? People getting

267
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: excited about this, this a f c S battle. Are

268
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: you excited as a Dolphins fan? Hank, Well, of coolse

269
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited. But the problem is that the teams haven't

270
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: actually yet arrived. So in past years, I think teams

271
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: have come out for the entire week and they've stayed

272
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: here and they kind of get used to it. But

273
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have Jets, and Jets have decided to to

274
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: fly Thursday night, so they get in on Friday morning

275
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: UK time. Um, so so there's little less excitement, let's say,

276
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: around it because they're just not here yet. There is.

277
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: There's a great piece of the New York Times today

278
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: about all the things the Jets, all the all the

279
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: different things they're doing ensure the players are as comfortable

280
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: as possible, including bringing their own toilet paper because apparently,

281
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: in Hank, maybe you could speak to this, the toilet

282
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: paper in England is very thin by nature. Yes or no.

283
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: You know what, guys, I'm used to the Dave Damashek

284
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: football program, where we really stick to football. So this

285
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: this kind of conversation to me a little off beat. Yeah,

286
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess there's something that you know that

287
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: may be true. Okay, so let's talk about the game

288
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. The Jets, of course, they were

289
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: two and oh, and then they got beat by the

290
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Eagles at home. And the Dolphins. We don't know what's

291
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: going on with the Dolphins. They played an absolute stink fest,

292
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: and Mark, you wrote a post on Wednesday, you know,

293
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: highlighting how bad the defense looked and lost to the Bills,

294
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: and so you don't know what's going on with the Dolphins.

295
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: If this is a team that's going down the toilet,

296
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: uh to tie in with the toilet paper. Um, if

297
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: this is a situation where this is just a team

298
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: that's floating into the abyss. As a Jets fan, I'd

299
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: love that to be the truth. Mark. When you watched

300
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins play on Sunday, what did you see? Their defense,

301
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: which I thought would be so disruptive before the season,

302
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: looks disorganized to me. There's, uh, there's no identity to

303
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: the defense. And and they were facing a guy in

304
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Charles Clay who they practiced against hundreds of times, and

305
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: on that first Bills drive, he just carved them up

306
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: for like sixty yards in this final touchdown catch was

307
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: one where you know, we talked about, you know, guys

308
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: like Eric Weddle and Dante Wittner missing tackles. What on

309
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: earth was happening with the tackling with the Dolphins. How

310
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: does Joe Philban get out of here without being left

311
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: in London? That's what I want to know, Henry, Where

312
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: do you add on Joe Philman. I think I'm where

313
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: every Dolphin span is. You know, I was kind of

314
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: scratching my head last year when he got given extent

315
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: an extension at the end of the season, and you know,

316
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: the first three games Mark talks about. Justin had the

317
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: game against the Bills, which was bad, but I watched

318
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: the win against the Redskins, which they really didn't look

319
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: very good in either. And then obviously they lost to

320
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: the Jags a week too. And there's nothing about the

321
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: team that suggests that they're going to turn a corner

322
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: at any point. In fact, you know, they always say

323
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: that a team takes on the personality of their coach,

324
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: and the coach has no personality. The team is kind

325
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: of like just floating out. They're really not good for anything.

326
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: I think I mean, go ahead, No, I I just

327
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: think as far as this game goes, this is a

328
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: wide open game. Would anything surprise you in this game?

329
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: Would Would it surprise you if the Jets easily won?

330
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: Would it surprise you if the Dolphins spank the Jets,

331
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: who might not be as good as they may be

332
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: seened after two weeks um? It would wouldn't surprise me.

333
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: If this is a very close game, it could be.

334
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: It can go in any direction. Really, it would surprise

335
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: agree if Tannehill connected on a series of deep balls.

336
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: That would pros me. Right. He he has the same

337
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: issues where he's good up the seams, bad to the outside.

338
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: And I think the problem is when you give him

339
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: that much money that people have a certain expectations, but

340
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: we know that he's not a quarterback that's gonna raise

341
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: all boats. And right now, the offensive line is bad,

342
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: the running game is bad. You know, the skill position players.

343
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: I love Larvis Jarvis Slandry, but it's like he is

344
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: the whole offense right now, and that's too much to

345
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: put on. You continue to disrespect for Shard Matthews. Alright, fine,

346
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: Richard Matthews, whatever my point, Do you disrespect him as

347
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: much as Joe Philbin did the last three years. My

348
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: point is that Tannehill is not gonna over overcome things.

349
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: And and I thought this defense was gonna be great.

350
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: You know what London needs, Henry, and I think you

351
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: feel this as a as a you know, UK vet.

352
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: They need some better games. I mean they got that

353
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: Falcons Lions game last year that was a great one,

354
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: but there's been a lot of blowouts. Is this the

355
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: game that makes the UK finally just fall in love

356
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: with football? Henry? Have you ever been called a UK

357
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: a VET before? Well, I mean I guess I am.

358
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm from the UK, so I mean I guess I

359
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: will hold that against Greg for one, What does that

360
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: even mean? I was just struggling for the vocabulary. Citizen

361
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: was probably what I was looking. But Henry is a

362
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: company to man. I've said to Henry many times that

363
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, Henry came from England, from the London NFL

364
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: office and he's quickly moved up the ranks. I I

365
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: believe that he will be commissioner one day if our

366
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: country allows someone not from this country to be the

367
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: commission in the NFL. I think a couple hoops, top

368
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: couple hoops but I think you can do it. Your

369
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts Henry on the entire London experience for the NFL.

370
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: Is it working, There's no doubt. There's no doubt it's working.

371
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: There's there's more fans that ever, the games sell out,

372
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: you know, the the ambition of having having a team

373
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: here and having more games here is you know, it's

374
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: very real. Um. You know, in terms of you were

375
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: talking about the quality of the games, I think it's

376
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: not that, you know, just because they're to not so

377
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: great teams and that's happened a few times over, doesn't

378
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: necessarily mean that they've they've all been bad games. There's

379
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: been some pretty good games played here, and the fans

380
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: are definitely into it. I think there's a there's kind

381
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: of a suspicion that fans shot to the game and

382
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: don't really know what's going on. And that might have

383
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: been the case in two thousand seven when the Dolphins

384
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: first game played came here and played against the Giants

385
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: in the first International Series game. But they've fans now

386
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: are pretty savvy and they know when they're not seeing

387
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: good football, and you'll hear the booze, you know, especially

388
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: given that the Dolphins had a lot of support in London.

389
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: If they don't play well on Sunday, you know, it'll

390
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: be like a home crowd. Apart from they probably won't

391
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: be able to leave the medium because they don't get

392
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: to see many football games. That's actually that that's an

393
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: interesting point. Are obviously the Jaguars have poured a ton

394
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: of resources, sources and games into being a team that

395
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: plays in London a lot. Are they the most popular

396
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: team there? The most popular team in the UK the

397
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: Patriots just because they've recently and you know, people like

398
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: to support winners. Wait, do they care that like one

399
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 1: of the cars over there a Jaguar is There's no

400
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: tie in to that. They think that the Doulton animal

401
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: is a Dolphon, but not Jaguar. The Dolphins are one

402
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: of the most popular teams there though they absolutely yeah,

403
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: doing a lot of Brits vacation in Florida or holiday

404
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: exactly why you know, you you came back and your

405
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: uncle bought you a cap saying Miami Dolphins on on.

406
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: You kind of became a Dolphins span accident, all right.

407
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: So there he is. Henry Hotson, notorious d op, the

408
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: director of programming of the Digital platform of NFL media,

409
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: which is you know, he's an important guy. And I

410
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: imagine when you go back to the London office, Henry,

411
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people are happy to see you, a

412
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: hero's welcome. Maybe there's a receptionist that always harbored a

413
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: crush for you. You're happily married, obviously with children. But

414
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: is there anything awkward with because you are handsome and

415
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: you are Americanized and there is something sexy and glamorous

416
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: about that. Do you feel like you don't really fit

417
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: in either place? When you're here? You know, a man

418
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: without a country. You know you're you're the guy from

419
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: the UK office. But now when you're home, you're noticing

420
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: the difference that yet you don't really feel quite at

421
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: home there either. This has become a confidence crisis all

422
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 1: of a sudden for me. Then I need to go

423
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: and think about all right, all right, Henry, thank you

424
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: so much. Um. I assume you're going to go to

425
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: a pub now, but if you're responsible and you're going

426
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: to bed, sweet dreams, buddy. No, I'm going to go

427
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: back to my warm beer and enjoy it. All right?

428
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: Good there you good? All right, Henry? Uh, they drink

429
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: warm beer, well, they drink. They yes, they drink a

430
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: lot of beer. Well you better hurry up. The bars

431
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: closed there early when I went to when I went

432
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: to Ireland, the bartenders say, let me build you a beer,

433
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: because it takes a while to pour it just the way.

434
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: And for though I've been getting a lot of tweets,

435
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: we are not all going to London, um, but Mark

436
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: definitely is, and Connors so debt. So if you see

437
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: them besiege them like the Beatles in a hard day's night,

438
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: they're going to the Jaguars game. So that's a three

439
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: weeks four weeks away. Late October. We all picked the

440
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Jets except for Mark, who picked the Dolphins. Moving on,

441
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: I did Mark struggling in the picks right now, just

442
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: an absolutely crust like I didn't even look at it

443
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: last week, and I looked at it this weekend. I

444
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: picked you work for the NFL. Use your cognitive abilities.

445
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: It's not the same anymore. I I like that. I

446
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: think the Jets defense they've got no natural pass rush there.

447
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: The run defense isn't quite as good. Are you saying

448
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: you don't care anymore because it's not worth anything with

449
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: the boss not involved. I do care. I honestly thought

450
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: if I picked home games from here to the end,

451
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: that I probably do do just as well as anyone else.

452
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't true last week, but it didn't. You gotta

453
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: stick with it. So maybe you know they was the

454
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: home team in London. That seems ridiculous. There's no technically

455
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: the home team is the Dolphins. That's a sham, all right.

456
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: Moving on, the Houston Texans are traveling to Atlanta to

457
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: face the Falcon and the Falcons at three and oh,

458
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: get excited people of a town. The Texans, on the

459
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: other hand, one and two, they did get a town. Yeah,

460
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: according to Usher, it's a town. Why what is it?

461
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: What is it? It's hot Atlanta? Yea is you're telling

462
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: me Hotland is better than a town at L People

463
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: say a t L. Can I move on with the show?

464
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Falcons are undefeated after three weeks of Texans

465
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: got on, got on the waiting side of things. And

466
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you pick games sometimes you kind of

467
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: could talk yourself into certain things. But I cannot talk

468
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: myself into any scenario where the quarterback led uh by

469
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: my friend the man I love um Ryan Mallett almost

470
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: forgot his name. Will beat the team led by Matt

471
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: Ryan right now, right Mark is the way. I well,

472
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: I would have a real tough time making an argument

473
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: for Houston in this game. I'm not gonna about that.

474
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make an arguments because I don't think

475
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. This would take a superhuman game from J. J.

476
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: Watt and Zari and Foster gonna play. We don't know.

477
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: It could be a game time decision from what we're

478
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: hearing um or the Texans learning. You can't just win

479
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: with just what J J. Watt they last week, not

480
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: just because of do we really think there's that much

481
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: of a difference between this Falcons team and the Texans.

482
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: I am. I've been as down as the Texans as anyone,

483
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: and I had the Falcons making the playoffs before the season.

484
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: But to me, they're both teams that are in the

485
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: middle of the NFL. I well, on a certain day,

486
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: it certainly wouldn't be a shock if the Texans can

487
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: hang with that. I would take that they're building Julio

488
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: Jones and Kyle Shanahan over anything happening with the Houston Texans.

489
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, by the way, and West As usually did

490
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: a great job with your latest rankings positional rankings. I

491
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: urge everyone to check that out. You have Julio Jones

492
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: as the number one wide receiver in the NFL. Uh

493
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: he is on pace. This is awesome. Julio Jones is

494
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: on pace. And he also has nicked up a little

495
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: bit right now, but I'm sure he'll play a hundred

496
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: and eighty one catches two host six yards touchdowns. That's

497
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: right now. Wouldn't it be funny if Thomas Dimitrov, after

498
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: getting in trouble and having to surrender some of his duties,

499
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: wins his third Executive of the Year award for this team.

500
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: He hired a good coaching staff. The offensive line went

501
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: from one of the worst in the league to an asset.

502
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: They've got impact rookies and Vic Beasley and Tevin Coleman

503
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: before his injury. There's there's somebody who hired it gets

504
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: the job. Well, what about Art did Arthur Blank essentially

505
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: hired this guy. That's a good point that Dan Quinn had,

506
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, the most to say with his own coaching staff.

507
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: And when you say better offensive line, that's Kyle Shanahan.

508
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: That's the scheme. Because well, players aren't really very different.

509
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: Demtrov kept pouring early round picks into the offensive line

510
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff could never develop them. The former

511
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff, well, Shanahan's specialty though a lot of those

512
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: guys aren't even there. And now they have a running back.

513
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: And that was one of my big takeaways from last

514
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: week was Davonte Freeman was was. I mean, he ran angry,

515
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: he ran so hard, just like that sort of energy

516
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: out of him. I was almost surprised to see how

517
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: well such a small guy he's physical in like a

518
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: Darren Sprouls kind of way. Yeah, even more though, I

519
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: mean to the point where you can give him twenty

520
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: five carries in a game. We'll see a few thirty

521
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: five touches last week. He he was, He was outstanding.

522
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: If you're getting him as a big time back that

523
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: offense is even even one thing. One thing for the Texans.

524
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on Jadevion Clown. He's turned into a player.

525
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: He's making he's making more of an impact every week.

526
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: You really think this will be close potentially? Oh I'm

527
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: saying is I don't think the Falcons are some huge

528
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: favorites because they're three and O and the Texans are

529
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: one and two. To me, these are two teams in

530
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: the kind of the middle of the NFL, and yeah,

531
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a good game. We all have

532
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 1: the Falcons, but we shall see how close it is.

533
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Next up the New York Giants. They got their first

534
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: win of the season, uh, kind of an underwhelming victory

535
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: over the Redskins at the meadow Lands. Now they travel

536
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: to Orchard Park to face the Buffalo Bills. Rex Ryan's

537
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: team revitalized under old Rexy uh you know, really just

538
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: bullied the Dolphins uh in Miami on Sunday. So there

539
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: are at two and one, one game behind the paths

540
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: of Giants at one and two. Mark, I'll start with

541
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: you on this one. Um, your thoughts on the Bills

542
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: right now? Where are you at with Tyrod Taylor through

543
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: three games? Well, watching the game from last week, I

544
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: think that the marriage between Taylor and Greg Roman has

545
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: been ultra successful. And we can talk about Kyl Shanahan.

546
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: That was a great higher that has changed that Falcons team.

547
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: I feel the same way for Greg Roman and with

548
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: marxis Well because this is what Rex Ryan never had.

549
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: He never had a guy that's you go do what

550
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: you do Rex Ryan and let Greg Roman handle developing

551
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Rex Ryan's fault, to be clear,

552
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: he pan picked those guys he wanted Tony Sperano. You're

553
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: not gonna I want someone who limits my offense. I'm

554
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: not going to hold back on criticizing Rex Ryan. I mean,

555
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: I totally here you, But bottom line, he did hire

556
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: a good coordinay this time, I think it's working out.

557
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: The Bills had two of the fastest guys on the

558
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: field last week, and Sammy Watkins and Percy Harvin. With

559
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: the next Gen Stats column that West does every week,

560
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: two of the fastest dudes, and I think that they've

561
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: got weapons on offense. We know about the defense, and

562
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: they're great at home. There are a load to deal with.

563
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: What surprises me in watching all three Bills games that

564
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: Percy Harvin has been so much better than Sammy Watkins.

565
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: Harvin has been very good for the Bills this year.

566
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: He's been easily their number one receive. You know, it's

567
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: it's funny from your rankings West that I saw Percy

568
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: Harvin sneak into the honorable mention uh category, and I

569
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: was like, it was very surprised. To see that, but

570
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: now and in Daryl Bevil in Seattle, it was all this,

571
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: So we can't figure out how to use Percy Harvin.

572
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: He's hard to put into an offense with a mobile

573
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: quarterback in a in a ground game that we That's

574
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: exactly what Buffalo is and Greg Greg Greg is getting

575
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: the job done and they're hitting him on third and longs.

576
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Taylor has been really impressive. If you would

577
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: have said going into the season, I mean, their whole

578
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: question as well, we can't really trust that offense because

579
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: it Tyrod Taylor their third in the league and scoring

580
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: some of that was catching up on the Patriots, but

581
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: this was a Bills team that in the past could

582
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: have never caught up in that type of type of matchup.

583
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they are one of the highest scoring teams

584
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: in the league and they've done it with virtually nothing

585
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: from Sammy Watkins, very little from Robert Woods and from

586
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: and they're still scoring that many points. It's it's crazy.

587
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: It's funny to look at the Giants. They pour money

588
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: into Rashad Jennings, they pour money into Shane Vereen, and

589
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: the best running back on the field in this game

590
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: will be a fifth round rookie for the Bills. Carlos Williams,

591
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy and Sammy Watkins both likely out of this

592
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: game with injuries. Victor Cruz, who who threw himself a

593
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: return party about a month ago, uh re injured his

594
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: or aggravated his calf injury at practice on Wednesday. He's

595
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: out indefinitely. Who knows when we're gonna see him. Uh

596
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: So they're both sides have injuries and West. How about

597
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: your boy o d b Uh he's kind of in

598
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: the background, a little bit of why receivers like A J.

599
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: Green and Julio Jones getting all the headlines. Having a

600
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: nice two game, two hundred yard game from od B

601
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: just to remind everyone that he is a transformational talent.

602
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: I like the way you're thinking. Because the NFL somehow

603
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: gifted Ronald Darby the defensive Rookie of the Month award.

604
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: He hasn't played as well as Marcus Peters. I don't

605
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: know how that happened. That is a good combination Gilmore

606
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: who's not fully healthy and Derby, who has played well.

607
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean that defense is great. It when Jerry Hughes

608
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: talk about Executive of the Year, maybe give it to

609
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: Doug Whaley. Think about the people that he's brought in,

610
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: Carlos Williams, Percy Harvin, Jerry Hughes is looking like one

611
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: of the best re signings. They're all Rex Ryan moves whatever.

612
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: Give it to Rex Ryan, then I'm saying their their

613
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: off season is looking pretty good. From the Britchie incognito,

614
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: I hate to say, it's another big impact that that

615
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: we all picked the Bills bullish on Buffalo, Like what

616
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: that was? That was very smooth and you're it's a

617
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: master class. Next up the Oakland Raids. Yeah, I get

618
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: excited people that inhabit the black hole. You're two and

619
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: one and now you get to go to Chicago to

620
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: face the Bears, who might be the worst team in

621
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: football or very close to it. Um, do we have

622
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: to deal with Jimmy Classon for another week? It looks

623
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: like it is day to day, which is way earlier

624
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: than anyone expected him to have a chance to play.

625
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: But it looks like it. They punted nine times, I believe,

626
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: in nine possessions last week, so ten for ten. The

627
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: Raiders are in a great position to go three and one.

628
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: And we talked about this a little earlier in the week,

629
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: Chris Westling uh that the Raiders are in a great

630
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: position right here, will they be able to capitalize on it?

631
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: I would have thought about taking the Bears in this

632
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: game if Jake Cutler was playing, But there's there's just

633
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: nothing I've ever seen from Jimmy claus And one of

634
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: the most amazing stats this week is that he's, I believe,

635
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 1: played in sixteen games and started twelve and never had

636
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: a two hundred yard game in the NFL, which is

637
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: very hard to do. Twelve games without a two yard performance,

638
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: It's not even good. How that's very hard to be

639
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: that bad. It's like trying to go in six. That's terrible.

640
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: It does help to get Jeffrey back, But why would

641
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 1: the Bears treat this game a whole lot differently than

642
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: last week when they well, they're gonna try to win.

643
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: They're not playing the Seahawks this week in Seattle. That

644
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: is the toughest ask, especially against an O and two team.

645
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: This Raiders defense isn't that good, but it is balanced.

646
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got an okay defense. They can run

647
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: the ball, you know they can. Their secondary is a

648
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: tire fire, that's but the front seven, the defense, like

649
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: the score in the Seattle game. It just when you're

650
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: gonna do nothing on offense. And tell us Bennett might

651
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: go for yards in this game, which should our fantasy

652
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: team Alana Vine troub which is three and oh most

653
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: points in the league. Should we put in Martel's this week? Well,

654
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: think about who the Raiders have gone against this year.

655
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Iford got him for his best game ever. Gary

656
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: Barnage got him for his best game ever, and Crockett

657
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: Gilmore got him for his best game ever in the

658
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: three games that the Raiders. This is why I brought

659
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: Weston as a consultant. Now, I brought him in as

660
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: a draft consultant. Gave him four percent ownership of Milana Vine.

661
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: Actually I brought him in to get out and I

662
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: gave him money. I paid him a dollar. I wouldn't

663
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: have to do it. So mark An, let the record

664
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: show I stood on the table for Larry Fitzgerald did

665
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: on the table for Larry, and we drafted him and

666
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: he's paid amazing dividends. So Milana Vintraub, who by the way,

667
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: is the A T and T girl in those commercials

668
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: that we Mark and I have had teams for three

669
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: or four years. It's always a different woman that we woman.

670
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: It was like all of a sudden, I turned into

671
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: Christopher Walking a different woman. Mark. Some people might perceive

672
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: that to be relatively creepy. I got it. I'm essentially

673
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: out of the organization. I collect money if we win.

674
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: You are very much a part of the ORGANAGM backpedal

675
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: Disney's Disney from I couldn't name some people on that

676
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: fantasy team. Mark, You've been connected with a loser football

677
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: team your entire life, and now you have a chance

678
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: to be connected to a potentially historic champion, and you're

679
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: running from it. What does that say A bunch of

680
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: people mishmashed together on paper? What does it say? Buddy,

681
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't need We all picked the Raiders. By the way,

682
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: Greg speak to that. What Greg's theory on group owned

683
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: fantasy teams is bold? Well? What? What? Well? It's a

684
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: ridiculous thing. It's ridiculous. That's the fun of it. And

685
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: how about the results. You haven't done well in this

686
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: league in general? Uh? No, I'm talking about this season.

687
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: I restructured ownership. I downplayed Marks. Uh he's like the

688
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman of our team. Different office, Dan Dan reorganized

689
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: this when I had to convince Dan to let me out.

690
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: You know, you wouldn't get anything for a three and

691
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: our start in a made up league. I got you,

692
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: I got you, but no we the restructure. Mark was

693
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: taken out of the personnel thinking took himself, Um, and

694
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: I brought Wesson, who was a draft a consultant in

695
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: my consign are at some point on some level, Um,

696
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: that's where we're at. I exited because of the false

697
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: narratives to pop up during the year, and you're experiencing

698
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: that right now. But I pulled myself out of this champion. Mark,

699
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: don't let go. I mean it sounds very similar to

700
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: the types of decisions you know, Phil Emory was making

701
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: in Chicago. That's why everyone got bounced last year. Just

702
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: you can't argue with the results so far the Raiders.

703
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if this has ever happened around the

704
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: NFL team. We all believe the Raiders will win on

705
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: the road too. After the road I think they had,

706
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: but playing in Chicago, I mean, this is a good

707
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: place they had that long. I don't think so. I

708
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: think they're they're gonna stay aggressive, but you never know.

709
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: Next up to Kansas City Chiefs, who could not hang

710
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: with the Packers. Do not believe their final score. That

711
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: game was not as close as that. The Chiefs were

712
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: overmatched and now they got to go to Cincinnati and

713
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: that's rough. You gotta They've played three straight undefeated teams,

714
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: haven't they. Well, you're always going to play one in

715
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: the first week. But yeah, the Chiefs. No, yeah, the Chiefs.

716
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: They got beat by in the Broncos geniuses. You guys

717
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: are stupid. They've beaten the Broncos at the Packers and

718
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: now they've been beaten by the Broncos backers and now

719
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Those teams are all undefeated children. They got

720
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: a rough schedule out of the gate. I mean, I

721
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: just want to see with with the Bengals, all right,

722
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: everyone's waiting for the Andy Dalton the other side of well,

723
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: that's that's why I i'n't bought in entirely, but I

724
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: but here no, not true. What I think though, is

725
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton is looking much more confident than he

726
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: ever has before. I think he's he's got the best

727
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: play call. I'm not saying his looks. He's playing more.

728
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: He's playing with more confidence, more comfortable deep down the field.

729
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: He threw the ball down field. He had like six

730
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: or seven throws of over twenty five yards last week

731
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: or over twenty yards. That to me is what's the

732
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: difference is. And you know, the chief secondary we'll see

733
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: this numbers, by the way, sixty one ninety two. That's

734
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: a sixty six point three percentage completion, eight hundred sixty

735
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: six yards, nine point four yards average per completion, eight touchdowns,

736
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: just one picked, been sacked us once. But doesn't that

737
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: mean last year's Dalton goes out and throws four interceptions

738
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: and has people you know last year's Dalton did him,

739
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Tyler Eifford. I mean, last week's Dalton

740
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: had a fumble return for a touchdown and an interception

741
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: in the end zone. People don't talk about, but the difference.

742
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: But he came back going, kept throwing deep and finished

743
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: out the game unbelievably. Don't like what I saw from

744
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on Monday. I know they were in a

745
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: very tough spot. But yeah, we talked about it a

746
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: lot in our last show about the way the offense

747
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: moved that. I don't see them going on the road here,

748
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: and and and beating a very good Bengals team. Just

749
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: can't see it. I like their defense. I think it's

750
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: the toughest matchup Cincinnati's offense has had so far, um

751
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: but I don't know how they're going to score. The

752
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: Bengals defense is playing really well. To Geno Atkins is

753
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: a different player. It's like they suddenly got Geno Atkins back,

754
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive tackles in the league. Peco

755
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: is making a lot of places him the whole defensive line.

756
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: They have a lot of players and they just rotate

757
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: them in and now. Everyone gave Mike Zimmer all the

758
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: credit for that defensive line over the year, but it's

759
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: really continued. It's a lot better right now. Leon Hall

760
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: to who was you know, a candidate some people believe

761
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: to get cut over the summer and maybe move to safety.

762
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: Has been their best cornerback and Adam Jones is getting

763
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: it done. If he had a great game last week.

764
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: He told me ten years ago that Adam Jones would

765
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: be one of the guys still left from that two

766
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: thousand five class, was it, I mean? And still going

767
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: strong and playing well no one, no one would have

768
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: believed over under Andy Dalton is awarded a PFF score

769
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: of greater than zero point zero eight for this game.

770
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: Just the over um pick anything out of a hat,

771
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: any number, You'll be just as likely. Question for the

772
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: um revolutionary fantasy minds in the room, Wes Greg, what

773
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: about Mark? What's up? Mark? How you doing? Glad to

774
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: be here? Are you? If you are a Jeremy Hill

775
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: fantasy owner? Are you nervous that things have taken a

776
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: turn that he will not be recovering from as a

777
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: fantasy entity? Of course you are. Anytime your players aren't

778
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: aren't meeting the expectations you have for them, you have

779
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: to be nervous. I'd buy low, though. I think he'd

780
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: be a guy to take a shot on if someone

781
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: wants to panic and trade him. The thing with Jeremy Hill, though,

782
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: before the season, I thought he was going to be

783
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: inconsistent because he's going to be a back where they

784
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: need to have a lead in order for him to

785
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: put up huge and they have three and oh and

786
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: he hasn't done much. We like him better in cold weather, though?

787
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: Is this Saty goes from September into October November, interestingly,

788
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: and Hill got bench for fumbling issues in a week

789
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: two they both have exactly forty one carries, Bernard averaging

790
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: five points seven yards to carry Hill three point zero.

791
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: We all have the what do we have? Actually, we

792
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: have the Bengals except for Connor. Or Connor is a

793
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: real Connor. He he'll de'll just do what he feels like,

794
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: and he's having a nice season so far. Twenty nine

795
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: and nine. Is that's something you wish you could do

796
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 1: more often? What? Really? If he don't care, why don't

797
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: you get a little more you? Well, didn't I get

798
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: a little more bizarre last week picking all home teams

799
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: and hanging rather than just picking the home teams. Well,

800
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: if I if I stink up the joint again, I'm

801
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to start getting wild. And that's how you

802
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: really go down the two. Yeah, I've been there, so

803
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: this could be a record setting ugly campaign on my

804
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: part and I'm gonna have to shut down emotionally, all right.

805
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: Next up, as we continue to roll through the early games,

806
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars Jaguas jag Yars uh. They

807
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: are heading to Indianapolis to face the Cults. Here's the

808
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: biggest thing you need to know about this game is

809
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: that Andrew Luck UH for the second straight day on Thursday,

810
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: was limited in practice with a right shoulder injury he

811
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: suffered in UH Sunday's thirty three win over the Titans.

812
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: Everyone's down playing it. Luck says he's definitely definitely playing.

813
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: Pagano says he has quote and this is kind of

814
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: a weird thing to say, supreme confidence that Luck will

815
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: play on Sunday. But at the same time he's been

816
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: bystandard of practice for two days. UH and shoulders are

817
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: no joke. They are no joke. Maybe it maybe it

818
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: explains a little bit of his struggles. West was saying

819
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: as are back as week one that he didn't think

820
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: Luck was pa says that the injury happened three. I'm

821
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: not saying that it isn't that. That's what he said,

822
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: that not happen before. Well, they're gonna say that because

823
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: he just is on the injury report now. But coaches

824
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: always admit to the fact that they lie about their

825
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks health once they get to the off season or

826
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: it comes out that they've they've been lying, So maybe

827
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: that helps explain it. The biggest problem Andrey Luck has had, though,

828
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: has been poor decisions in his offensive line It hasn't

829
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: been arm strength. It's been him really. Last week against Tennessee,

830
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: for instance, I thought he played a really solid game overall.

831
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: He just made two really bad decisions on those interceptions. Well,

832
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: he's holding the ball too long too, and I do

833
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: think he's been throwing the ball with less less authority

834
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: going back to the first game of the year. But

835
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: this game, I think it's it's a really bad matchup

836
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars because you know, their offense is basically

837
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson and t J. Yelden right now. And Allen Robinson,

838
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: as good as he is with the big catch radius

839
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: and leaping ability, he strugg us to separate from good corners.

840
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: I imagine Vonte Davis will be on him and then yelled.

841
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: And the Colts run defense is only averaging three point

842
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry this year, which is a major

843
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: improvement from last year when they were four point three.

844
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: And they've got Henry Anderson and David Perry, these rookies

845
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: who are really plugging the run. Well, I think that

846
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: that basically shuts down Jacksonville's offense. T J Yelden hasn't

847
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: excited me. He's been exactly what I expected. Kind of

848
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: a run of run of the mill, not gonna get

849
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: you beat, but not anyone he's excited about. He's got

850
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: quicker feet than I expected for a big runner, but

851
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: he doesn't have big playability. Two and we look at

852
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: Blake Boardles. You gotta chalk up some of his issues

853
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: that he's had behind that terrible line. Isn't that also

854
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: affect the ground game. We seem to make a lot

855
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: of excuses for Blake, so but he's getting heat. Has

856
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: been as bad. Other than the Bucks, Well, I think

857
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: they've been a little bit better this year overall. I

858
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: mean they played great. I would say in Week two

859
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: against Miami, maybe that was just the matchup. I mean,

860
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: I think you'll see a lot more Frank Gore my

861
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: boy the convenient to You can just keep writing him

862
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: off and you can put him in Indianapolis. He's getting older,

863
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: He's he still looks like inconvenient mostly true right now,

864
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: but he probably he could get thirty carries. Especially they

865
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: had some moments. I'm wondering how they come out of

866
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: that game, if they're gonna be a different team, kind

867
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: of be the team that we've seen the last couple

868
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: of years. Because it was an inspiring win. It was

869
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: a great victory that they fell down fourteen and they

870
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: do a ninety eight yard drive starting with twelve minutes

871
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: to go in the game, down thirteen points. That's an

872
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: amazing point in the season where you absolutely need something.

873
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: You're down by thirteen, they do a ninety eight yeard drive.

874
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: One of the plays and that's why they got Frank

875
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: Gore on this team was a third and one. Uh

876
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: in the middle of that drive where he got hit

877
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: in the backfield, he bounced off the tackler and he

878
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: dove for the first down to keep that drive going.

879
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: A couple of plays later, third and twenty from the thirty,

880
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: they hit a touchdown to come back. I mean that

881
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: that was a gutsy like you could see you why

882
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: Pagano was so excited. It was an amazing man. I

883
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: think it's the game of the year so far. UM

884
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: still no timetable. By the way, well, that was good.

885
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was even the game of the week. Really.

886
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: The Colts played terrible for three and a half quarters.

887
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they're they're up fourteen. How many games

888
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: do you see a two touchdown lead by both teams

889
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: blown and then Mariatta. I thought was playing great luck

890
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: when they absolutely needed to made plays, when with kind

891
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: of their season on the line, I thought there was

892
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: a lot of you have excuses if you're the Cults

893
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 1: to not correct your season outside of the Patriots, the Jaguars,

894
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: the Texans, the Saints and the Panthers or your next

895
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: four games. Where'd you get that research back? It's just

896
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: called you get it and you ain't. You get your

897
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: email every week you ever worked here? I like the

898
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: physical version. I'm glad you haven't found you. You have

899
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,479
Speaker 1: a printer. Your computer is also attached to a printer.

900
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: No timetable on Julius thom is still by the way,

901
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: this surgery is one month ago today. You're supposed to

902
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: be back in a month has not been cleared. Everything

903
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: goes wrong for the Jaguars at all times. Um, moving on,

904
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: and we all we all picked the Cults. Moving on.

905
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers are three and oh another undefeated team

906
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: and uh now they get to play the Bucks on

907
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: the road. Tampa Bay is one and two. Uh so

908
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: this is a game where you would think the Panthers

909
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: are again. Uh. Greg Rosenthal good position to continue to

910
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: build on what's been a very nice start for a

911
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: team that has won two straight division titles. It has

912
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: gunning for three. It's crazy how every week it feels

913
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: like they're in the worst, one of the worst games

914
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: of the week. How does that keep happening? I guess

915
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: that's a good thing, though. If you're the Panthers, you

916
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: keep winning. Cam Newton last week was protected absolutely perfectly.

917
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the Saints didn't get anywhere near him, and

918
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: he's just throwing bombs down the field, very sharp. I

919
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: liked how aggressive they were. That was what I liked

920
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: about the Bills game. They were very aggressive in the

921
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: second half with the lead, which is funny because Rex

922
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: wind about it when the Patriots did it, and that

923
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: the Panthers were very aggressive once they took the lead

924
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: over the Saints to keep pass past passing, which is

925
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: good to see. How to Ron Rivera, I mean Greg Olsen,

926
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: what do he had like a monster game against the

927
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: Saints and that has a lot to do with the

928
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: with the New Orleans secondary. But he's had a great,

929
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: great year so far. Luke Keikley is still not practicing,

930
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: by the way, he had that concussion. Uh so don't

931
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: expect to see him uh and Jared Allen will make

932
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: his UH Pathers debut in this game. Did you guys

933
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: notice anything different with Cam's throwing motion. No, but I'm

934
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: not a scout. I mean, I never get into all that.

935
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: They spent all offseason talking about his footwork, and I've

936
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: noticed no difference there. But his deep ball is now

937
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: being thrown side armed with a hump on it. He's

938
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: throwing side arms for his deep balls. It seems to

939
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: me like it's given him a lot more touch. He's

940
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: not just trying to throw bullets forty yards downfield. He's

941
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: throwing side arms and it's got a little bit of

942
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: a it's got a little bit of a hump, and

943
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: helping with the chronic overthrows it is. It's absolutely helping

944
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 1: him add some timing to these passes where he's throwing

945
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 1: the ball up and letting his receivers cozarts. You're saying

946
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: these offseason stories that we wrote are not totally useless. No,

947
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm what I'm saying is they talked about his footwork

948
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: and it's got nothing to do with his footwork. It's

949
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: all arm angle. It's side armed. He would own the

950
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: ball side armed on deep passing. Yeah, just about a

951
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: perfect game last week. That was the best I've seen

952
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: him throw deep, probably in his career. They barely had

953
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 1: the ball in the first half. The Saints executed their

954
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: game plan perfectly, just kept it away from the Panthers

955
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: to the point that the Panthers had to score every

956
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: time they got the ball, and they basically did. They

957
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: scored I think five of their six first seven possessions.

958
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: We remember the pass down the seam to Greg Olsen

959
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: where he throws it right over the defender. Olsen gets

960
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: it with one hand. It's perfect ball placement, and that's

961
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: something he couldn't do with his old throwing motion. We

962
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: all took the Panthers in that game. Moving on, the

963
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles finally got in the wind calm against the Jets,

964
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: and now they head to Washington to face the Redskins.

965
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: Uh So, let's see what we have here. DeMarco Murray

966
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: a full participant in practice on Thursday. You had that

967
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: hamstring issue, so you could put him back in the backfield.

968
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: Now they figure out how to do And you know,

969
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: I wrote a post today Thursday about um chip Kelly,

970
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: who was asked in a press conference what happened to

971
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: all the big plays and um explosive plays I think

972
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: was the wording, and h Kelly said the reason why

973
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 1: because they the Eagles led the NFL in explosive plays

974
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: in two thousand thirteen and then overall over the first

975
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: two years that he was the coach, they led the

976
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: league in that category. This year they are twenty four,

977
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 1: I believe. And he gave kind of a uh answer

978
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: that made sense but at the same time was a

979
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: little underwhelming. He said, well, it's because now teams play

980
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 1: us differently on defense. They play us the cornerbacks and

981
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: and safety as they play off ten yards on us.

982
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: So they've taken that away from us, so no longer,

983
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: so we have to react to the way you play us.

984
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: You also don't have it to Sean Jackson. Yes, and

985
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: there's no de Sean Jackson, and there's no Leashan McCoy

986
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: for the big running plays. But to my my response

987
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: to that is, well, listen, and I joke around like, oh,

988
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: you're the genius Chip Kelly, but if you really are

989
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: this offensive astermind, isn't there a way to manipulate defenses

990
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: and take advantage of them giving you too much space?

991
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: Underneath that. Something's not adding up with that, because his

992
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: reputation is not just that he has this offensive system.

993
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: It's that he adjust to what people are doing against him,

994
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: and he's always thinking of new ways to beat defense.

995
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 1: And unless you you know, you're saddled with Sam Bradford,

996
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: who his numbers when he throws beyond ten yards are abysmal. Well,

997
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: that was my first thought when I heard this, the

998
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: story that Dan wrote that he's just protecting his quarter bit.

999
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why you're not going to get a

1000
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: fully honest answer. I mean, Bradford is I don't know

1001
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: what happened to the dude we saw in the preseason.

1002
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: That was a very small sample size. Ten passes that

1003
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: really means fair. And also we talked about it all

1004
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: the time in the preseason, but he looked great though

1005
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: it was more about where he was putting the ball right,

1006
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: but it was it was just ten passes. I wonder

1007
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: coming off that last game more about Sam Bradford than

1008
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 1: I did the week before, because the week before seems

1009
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: so crazy bad that it was a fluke. But Bradford

1010
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: was terrible against the Jets. I mean, he was the word.

1011
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick was better in that game, and Ryan fitz

1012
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 1: Patrick was not good. Bradford was not accurate at all.

1013
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: I know the box score would have looked better if

1014
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: the running backs had caught a couple of passes you

1015
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: mentioned that day and that's true. But for the most part,

1016
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: out of the tent whatever passes it was, he was

1017
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: off target and almost all of them, and some easy

1018
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: throws too. I think it's very possible that this game

1019
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: is my game of the week because I think the

1020
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,959
Speaker 1: Redskins can come out of this clearly is the better

1021
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: team at these two Well, I was gonna say, like

1022
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: there was a lot of positive Redskins talk going into

1023
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: Thursday night, and they played. They did not play a

1024
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: good games. Were um they Does that take away any

1025
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: of the confidence that was building within this room about

1026
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: how good the Redskins can be? Sure? I mean, I

1027
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 1: thought their Week two games was the most complete game

1028
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 1: I've seen maybe any team player this year. They thoroughly

1029
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: outclassed the Rams. And then they come back the next

1030
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: week and Kirk Cousins looked like he doesn't have enough

1031
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: arm strength to throw a touchdown. I I feel the

1032
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: same about Kirk Cousins that I've always felt, which is

1033
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: I have I have very little of faith. I think

1034
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: he's a poor man's Dalton where he's gonna have a

1035
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: total stinker every three weeks, but he's not even as

1036
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,439
Speaker 1: good as Dalton on a week to week basis. Yeah,

1037
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 1: I mean the Redskins. For me, it can't come down

1038
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: to Kirk Cousins throwing the ball thirty five times. It

1039
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: has to be what we did see against the Rams,

1040
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: which was Matt Jones Alfred Morris one two punch that's

1041
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna beat you up in both lines dominated that game.

1042
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: That's not what happened against the Giants. So that's um

1043
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: Mark and West both took the Redskins in this game.

1044
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: The rest of the crew. That's not good news for

1045
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: West to the Eagles. All Right, it's that time of

1046
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: the show. He sits in between West and the Old Zuser.

1047
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 1: He is the host of the Around the NFL TV show.

1048
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: He is the Great Andrew Siciliana. Welcome back to the show, Andrew,

1049
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: happy to be here. Guys. Back up, you call yourself

1050
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: the Great Zeus, the old Us. How long Andrew did

1051
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: it take for you to start speaking about yourself in

1052
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: the third person as a as a gigantic myth law. God,

1053
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet, and I'll let you know if

1054
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: and when it does. Listen, let's stay on topic. Andrew

1055
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: is here, and we love to have Andrew here. And

1056
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: he just actually five days a week around the NFL

1057
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: TV show. Um at what time I was by? Now?

1058
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: I got tweets last week about this that you couldn't

1059
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: remember two o'clock two o'clock on Thursday's Eastern on game

1060
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: Day because Thursday is Game Day Network every other day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday,

1061
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: it is at six pm normal time. See, I get

1062
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: tripped up by the time zones. Six pm normal or

1063
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 1: Eastern as they call it. Got you. And on today's

1064
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: show on Thursday Show, you had uh Seahawks star Michael Bennett.

1065
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: Nice conversation with him. From what I understand, one of

1066
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: my favorite knuckleheads in all of football, and I mean

1067
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: that in a very endearing way. He is awesome. Ay,

1068
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: he's good at football. Be He showed up to start

1069
00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: the interview with a with an armful of trophy. He

1070
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 1: gave himself a trophy of some kind for beating his brother.

1071
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: So he's the best brother and he wanted Martellis to

1072
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: see it. You know, they shut out the Bears last week,

1073
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 1: and then he had like five Emmy's that he local Emmies.

1074
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: I guess that he took out of the cabinet in

1075
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: the building in Seattle that the Seahawks had for local coveragers,

1076
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: like hey, local TV. So he had Honestly, we have

1077
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: a shot of it somewhere, an armfull of Emmy's, and

1078
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: that's how we came on the air with all the trophies.

1079
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: You are aware that Michael Bennett in the old zeuser

1080
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a fractured How do you anger

1081
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: that guy? Well, talk to him after he just lost

1082
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Super Bowl Sunday, he was on his

1083
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: the riser. You know, I asked him a perfectly normal

1084
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: question about, you know what, what was the vibe the

1085
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 1: shock after the Butler interception? And he his response, uh,

1086
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: and listeners of the show know this, so I don't

1087
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: like to talk about it, but I will bring it

1088
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: up again. His response was about as big as a

1089
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: surprise as when your wife first saw your and then

1090
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: he added, I don't remember because it's small. Oh yeah.

1091
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: He then offered the clarification because I thought he I

1092
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: find him to be classless. I've told him is that

1093
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: that's a horrible he certainly, he certainly hit you below

1094
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: the belt, well quite literally, and I'm waiting for the apology,

1095
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: Um Martellis or Michael. I'm not even Michael Michael. And

1096
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of our interview today because

1097
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: he was going to talk about your junk not he

1098
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: was cracking me up and I said, Michael, please don't

1099
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: ever change, and he said goodbye by saying I'm always smiling.

1100
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: I'm in America, I'm black, and I'm rich. So I

1101
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 1: love that guy. Any cute. I love that guy. He's

1102
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: got that apology to Dan and his Twitter drafts folder.

1103
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: It's coming eventually. If they make this has no idea

1104
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: who you are. They make the Super Bowl a memory,

1105
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: and he has no clue you exist. I am coming

1106
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: after him. You heard me, Michael Bennett, I'm coming after you,

1107
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 1: all right. So Andrew's Siciliana is here, and that means

1108
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: we're going to get into some more games because Andrew's

1109
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: a man an encyclopedia knowledge. The brain is at another level.

1110
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: I get it all from you guys at the around

1111
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: the NFL Twitter feed. You're like the guy from Limitless.

1112
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: What's what's limitless? It's a guy who takes a pill

1113
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: and then has all the knowledge in the world. Wait,

1114
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: I've actually seen that. It's a good movie. It's a

1115
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: movies you've referenced. It's what's his name Bradley Cooper, like

1116
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 1: an Under the Radar movie. Now it's a bad CBS show,

1117
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: But whatever. I'd rather be Scarlett Johansson in that movie

1118
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,479
Speaker 1: where she's slowly using more and more of her brain

1119
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: and the part where horse whisper Horse whisperers ghost World.

1120
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: No that it wasn't Lucy either, but she was great,

1121
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: and Lucy was the one that was out last year.

1122
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: Then she uses all her brain and then Morgan Freeman's

1123
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: the professor and then everything blows up at the end. Johnson,

1124
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 1: by the way, is I'd rather you were Scarlett Johnson too?

1125
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: Can I? Can I name drop? So? I met her

1126
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: years ago? I tower over her. Wow? Really and I'm

1127
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: five seven with shoes And by the way, I don't care.

1128
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: She's awesome. Yes, she moving on her argument from the group,

1129
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: moving on perfection, and let's talk about some football. The

1130
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. We'll start right there because we know Andrew

1131
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: has Cleveland roots, and we know Mark Sessler used to

1132
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 1: have Cleveland leanings. Andrew, in fact, is called market a

1133
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: coward for I took it back. I'm I'm in the

1134
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: mix there. I you know, well, and let we'll get

1135
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 1: into that in a second where you are with that.

1136
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: But the Cleveland Browns are one and two. They had

1137
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: a home loss to the Raiders, which really was predictable.

1138
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,959
Speaker 1: Your brother there by the way, and no, my dad

1139
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: was he gave tickets to my dad called it and

1140
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating, although he is prone to hyperbole. The

1141
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: worst display a professional football I've ever seen. Okay, So

1142
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: that's where the Browns are at in two thousand and fifteen,

1143
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: same as they were before. Basically now they got to

1144
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: travel to so Caw. They're gonna face the Chargers and

1145
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: wanted two Chargers team that uh, you know, a little

1146
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: bit disappointing, but you would think there's gonna be um

1147
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: advantage in this week against the Browns team, which, let's

1148
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: face it is not very good. Andrew, what do you

1149
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: what are you taking away from this game? What do

1150
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: you see to the Browns have a shot. Of course

1151
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: they have a shot because they have had moments of

1152
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: defensive glory this year. Granted they've been fleeting. I'm just

1153
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: hoping Brian Sipe will show up, as he is a

1154
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: Brown's legend the NFL m v P and I believe

1155
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: he still coaches and in San Diego. Right, Okay, so

1156
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: that would be cool. Um. You know, the story this

1157
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: week in Cleveland has been is TMZ right or did

1158
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: team I'm dead serious. I hate to give him the

1159
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: credit here, but I don't know if it's credit. But

1160
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: that's what people have been talking about. Did a makeup

1161
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: quotes with three players claiming they supported Johnny Manziel. That's

1162
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: all one thing one TMZ does not. Is not a

1163
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: bastion of journalistic integrity, but it is not known as

1164
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: a place that makes up stories that Wait a minute, look,

1165
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 1: I I'm not here to again bash TMZ, but for

1166
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: Pete's sake, they had a Michael sam story a couple

1167
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: of months ago where when you clicked it, it claimed

1168
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: he said one thing. He absolutely didn't say anything like that,

1169
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: and ad istual press release saying I never said that.

1170
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: Watch the video. It's clear I never said that these

1171
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: are these are sources inside the bread. Would it be

1172
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: surprising or would it be even weird if three people,

1173
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: especially young players on that team didn't. Of course, we

1174
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: have no idea the majority or what, and that's what

1175
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to. Who it's expected that there

1176
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: are going to be people that think the other guy

1177
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: should play. You don't think there are people that last week,

1178
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: even though the sounds of absurd thought that blame Gabbert

1179
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: should play the second half against the Cardinals. I guarantee

1180
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: at least one Do you think there anybody in Philadelphia

1181
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: that that once Mark Sanchez to play, I guarantee you

1182
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: there last you have a franchise quarterback, some of the

1183
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: locker room is gonna want the other guy to play.

1184
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: Exactly this was telling. I talked to West a little

1185
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: bit about this Browns game, and he officially has given

1186
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: up on Josh McCown, the only defender of Josh McCown

1187
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: in America. That was a rough performance. Had I told

1188
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: you I was out on him in the preseason when

1189
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: I realized he was just going to get injured because

1190
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: he's so careless with his body. You know what might

1191
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: have been worse though than Josh McCown and they got

1192
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: off to a terribly slow start, was a defense. Two things,

1193
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: Hayden is not healthy and is having struggles, and he's

1194
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: gonna have struggles against Keenan Allen. This weekend, they missed

1195
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: like fourteen tast This was meant to be the strength

1196
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 1: of this team. And it was absolutely the opposite last

1197
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: week that the Raiders offensive line against the Cleveland pass rush.

1198
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: It was the most dominant performance I've seen out of

1199
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: any offensive line this season. The Browns defense looked totally

1200
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: inept and their run their run defense, which was we

1201
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: got Danny Shelton, We're gonna shore this thing up. Is

1202
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: giving up like forty fifty yards more per game than

1203
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: they were a year last year because a lot of

1204
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: those miss tackles. I watched I think the first three

1205
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: quarters last night before the oven told me I was

1206
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 1: burning dinner. And two things. The two things Dante Whitner

1207
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: and Jordan Poyer both had a lot of trouble with

1208
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: miss tackles, to the point where Petton today, as we

1209
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: take this Thursday, was asked, are you thinking of sitting

1210
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: him down? That is Dante Whitner um. And the other thing, too,

1211
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:40,919
Speaker 1: is on the right side of the offensive line. Friend

1212
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: of the program, Jeff Schwartz. I don't mean to bash

1213
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: the brother Mitchell Schwartz did not have a good game,

1214
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: and even when they gave him help with a fullback.

1215
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a couple of plays where just

1216
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean Khalil Mack bought his plane ticket to the

1217
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Week three and you know Josh Schwarts or

1218
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: two years ago. Well, this is the ultimate matchup of

1219
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: a terrible pass rush apparently against what I think is

1220
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: the worst offensive line in football in San Diego. Just

1221
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: just none of those hurt anecdotically, they're injured. Five drives

1222
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: last week ended on third down for the Chargers when

1223
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: they had absolutely no chance to protect Rivers. Anecdotically, I

1224
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: thought this, this has to be the worst offensive line

1225
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: in the league. And I went and looked at our

1226
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: friends PFF and they did have him overall as the

1227
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 1: worst offensive line run block and passed. But I think

1228
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: also with the Chargers this week, I found it um unnecessary.

1229
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: But Philip Rivers was asked on the podium last Sunday,

1230
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: does the locker room still have faith in Mike McCoy.

1231
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're they're already, But the fact that

1232
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: anyone is even asking that in San Diego. Look, it

1233
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: could just be one cloud. I don't even know who

1234
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: asked it, but I can't imagine if I think the

1235
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: Chargers they get back to it this week. Yeah, but

1236
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: the Browns get the doors blown off, and I don't

1237
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: care down there or not. They get beat and it's

1238
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, or something okay, and whether McCown plays well

1239
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: or not. I don't get why Manzell want to be

1240
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: starting at one and three to because number one, you've

1241
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: at that point discovered, all right, the season is a wash.

1242
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: And we go into another offseason we're drafting a quarterback

1243
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: or finding a quarterback because you gotta find out. I

1244
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 1: don't just not a wash at one in three. It isn't.

1245
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: You're the Cleveland Browns. What are they gonna do? But

1246
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: McCown's not gonna be the guy that's gonna lead you

1247
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: back from one in three to ten and six. It's

1248
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: just not gonna be that guy. These are two different issues.

1249
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: I agree with you they probably should go to Manzel.

1250
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: I disagree that the season is a wash at one

1251
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 1: not if you're the one in three Ravens. If you're

1252
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the one in three Browns, what's what's the DNA that

1253
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: tells you climb back one of three. Ravens have no

1254
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: deep threat to have their first round pick getting his

1255
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,959
Speaker 1: knee scope and he can't run the ball. We shall see.

1256
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: We all picked the Chargers. They're moving on the St.

1257
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Louis Rams. Uh, you know, Big Ben gets hurt and

1258
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: they're in their building and the Rams still can't find

1259
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: a way to win. So they're one and two now.

1260
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 1: And anybody that has belief in the Rams, and Greg,

1261
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: I know you've been a believer and perhaps you still are,

1262
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: but that was disconcerting. Uh, they failed to one and two.

1263
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 1: Now they got to go to Arizona to face the

1264
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals are playing as well as anyone the Patriots included

1265
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: right now, three and oh just killed the Niners, the

1266
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: worst beating in that matchup in the history of the

1267
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: two teams. Seven win. So now the Rams have to

1268
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: put up on a big spot on the road in

1269
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: West and Greg, if you believe in the Rams, they

1270
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: gotta do something there. They gotta put up a fight

1271
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: and it would a game. Yeah, I'm fascinated to see

1272
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: this game because it's a great match. But at least

1273
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: when the Cardinals are on the field as much as

1274
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: we love the Cardinals, who are now the official team

1275
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 1: of the around the NFL PIE, the highest scoring team

1276
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: in football. They have had the easiest schedule you could

1277
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: basically come up with to this point, especially against defenses.

1278
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to seeing them against this St.

1279
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Louis defense, which ultimately executed their game playing against Pittsburgh.

1280
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the defense gave up twelve points. It was

1281
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: gonna be nine points through three quarters with Ben Roethlisberger

1282
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: on the field. And I think the Rams can be

1283
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: frisky as as bad as they can be and disappointing,

1284
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: like when they go to Washington. They're they're good in

1285
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: the division, and I think they're a tough out each week,

1286
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: even if it only adds up to seven or eight

1287
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: wins in the end, I think they can knock off

1288
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: good teams like the Cardinals. With you and I'm sorry,

1289
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, Chris, what happened the last time the Rams

1290
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: went on the road, the Redskins. Redskins owned their soul. Yeah,

1291
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: that was one of the most complete beatdowns. That was

1292
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: one of the most complete beatdowns I've seen all years.

1293
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: The ball like I reached your heart and pull out

1294
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: your beating. There's nothing about this Rams team that makes

1295
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: me think they're gonna be competitive in this game on

1296
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the road. I think they'll be competitive because I think

1297
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: their defense will keep it competitive. I think the most

1298
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: disappointing thing about last week is that, again, like we

1299
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: said the week before, you have a big test in Washington,

1300
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: you fail that test, you come back home. Look, Lance Kendricks,

1301
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: you had a touchdown. Buddy, you don't drop that ball.

1302
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: It's a different game if he doesn't. Granted he did.

1303
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: And then Nick Foles in the end with a chance.

1304
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Again they get the ball back and folds airmails that

1305
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: I think of the first player the drive and gets

1306
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: picked off. Um, they are getting after the quarterback early

1307
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: in the season this year, which is something they did

1308
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 1: not do last year. And again they are the team

1309
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: that knocked out Carson Palmer. Now, it was a fluke

1310
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: play last year. It was nothing more than Mark Barron

1311
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: putting his hand on on Palmer's shoulder. He's is he

1312
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: stepped up through the hand and it wasn't dirty, it

1313
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: was it wasn't even a hit. But you know, somebody

1314
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: asked Carson about it this week and he pretended like

1315
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 1: he had no idea what they were talking about, Um,

1316
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: I think this Cardinals team is. I don't want to

1317
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: call it scary good because of the competition so far.

1318
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: I think this is more of a test for the

1319
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals than people want to let on. I would be

1320
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: extremely upset if and Andrew and our last podcast we

1321
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: did name the Arizona Cardinals the team of around the NFL.

1322
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: I wasn't asking for the whole song, just to step

1323
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: it yet, but let's listen to it. Why not Andrew? Listen?

1324
01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: Let's know that I wrote the words rich lyrics. Who

1325
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: the heck recorded this? Sick banks house banks, stop going still, stay,

1326
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: pay attention to this last party. Yes is a very

1327
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: special honor Where's your Poison? Shirt? So? Yes they are

1328
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: a Slayer fan. Uh, definitely. I was not a metal guy,

1329
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: the kid like the cool kids. When I was like

1330
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: late elementary school, early junior high. It was like to

1331
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: wear the Metallica shirts and stuff deb hands. This would

1332
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: never allow me. I couldn't even wear a Bart Simpsons shirt.

1333
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: You went third there? Well, oh oh, I thought you.

1334
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I fall. I was like jeeus now, I

1335
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: don't even know Dan and I went to a Travis show.

1336
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: A couple of months ago. So that's that should tell

1337
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: you where we are of us exactly great Scottish Travis

1338
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Trip a band from Scotland, mid level band that peaked

1339
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: fifteen years the polar opposite of Slayer, let's put it

1340
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, basically anyway, so a little long story short, Cardinals,

1341
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: don't let us down here. You can't lay an egg

1342
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: at home after the name of the team of atl

1343
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: This game could feature the two biggest challengers to J. J.

1344
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Watt for Defensive Player of the Year, Aaron Donald and

1345
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: Honey Badger, who is making Honey Badgers making big plays

1346
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: every single game. Yeah, we all picked um the Cardinals

1347
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: to go for except for Connor Or who has the

1348
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: Rams pulling off the upset. Moving on, the Minnesota Vikings

1349
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: have won two straight after that ugly Monday night opener,

1350
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: and now they go to Denver to face the Broncos.

1351
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Of course, the Broncos had the Sunday night win at

1352
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Ford Field against the Lions, and really, uh, Chris Westling,

1353
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: this is the one of the better matchups of the week,

1354
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: maybe the best matchup. Adrian Peterson against the Denver Broncos defense.

1355
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I think this might know how bad the matchups are

1356
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: this week that this is like the cream of the crop.

1357
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: It's not. It's not the best week. And the Broncos

1358
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: defense is one of the most fun units to watch

1359
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: this season. Adrian Peterson's probably the most fun running back

1360
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: to watch any season he's ever played. So in that sense, yeah,

1361
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. That should be fun to watch. Did

1362
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: you guys see the Eric Weddle yeslous on the Peterson

1363
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: long touchdown? So I mean we're we're sitting here and

1364
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:29,719
Speaker 1: start week for and Adrian Peterson leads the NFL and rushing.

1365
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of like the world has returned to

1366
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: its axis here they I haven't seen a lot from

1367
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: teddy Bridgewater this year though, I'll say that, but not

1368
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: that he's playing poorly. Although Week one was ugly, Um,

1369
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: I guess this is the formula we thought it would be.

1370
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: Last week was a bit of a fluke. I think

1371
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Week two was the formula. Uh, teddy bridge Rider played

1372
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: a great game, but he only had to throw the

1373
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: ball eighteen times, which is the formulae and why not? Right?

1374
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: The crazy thing with Peterson is is Chad Greenway said

1375
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: before last week's game that was the first time that

1376
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson looked like Peterson in practice, so he was serviceable.

1377
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Even in Week two, he said after that game he

1378
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: started to look like Adrian Peterson again. Then he rips

1379
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: off this big game and you start thinking, well that

1380
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: makes sense. Like this has been his preseason essentially, the

1381
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of the season. He's just getting

1382
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: into gear now after not playing for for a year.

1383
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is so with I think he's

1384
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:30,480
Speaker 1: ad two ninety is his rushing number through three games,

1385
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: so less than a hundred a game. He is actually

1386
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: on pace to have a better season than his two

1387
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: thousand yards season. Makes no sense. He went to the

1388
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: second half, Yeah, makes no sense. What happened to your boy?

1389
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: Charles Johnson, Man, he is really struggling. Well, he's not

1390
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 1: healthy right now, right but even before well, you're right,

1391
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: I think that the team is different than it was

1392
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: last year. Last year they you know, when Charles Johnson

1393
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 1: played more down the stretch, they scored what was it,

1394
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: ten more points a name or something. They their offense

1395
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: was was more centered around what they had to do.

1396
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: It's not I think we talked about what the formulas

1397
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,560
Speaker 1: and it's not Charles just problem. If you're going to

1398
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: get out of the NFC, a very good NFC at

1399
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: Lisa top heavy and NFC, you cannot just lean on

1400
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Say today Teddy Bridge runter has to take

1401
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: the take the leap. You need guys like Charles Johnson

1402
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: step up. It's just not good enough to just have Peterson.

1403
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work. Two things. Number one, remember when

1404
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,600
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace played for the Vikings. Oh yeah, yeah, I

1405
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: don't okay. Number two. Number two is I didn't know

1406
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: if I don't think anyone saw this as a two

1407
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: team division, but it is now turned into a two

1408
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: team division. I thought it was gonna be one of

1409
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: the better divisions in football. I didn't think the Bears

1410
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: are any good. It's a good point, but it's a

1411
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: two team division now. Yeah, and I think Minnesota has

1412
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: the pieces. They've been quiet, but this is a tough

1413
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: game for Denver. You know, Peyton Manning made progress last week,

1414
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: but this is a great test for that offensive line

1415
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,600
Speaker 1: and him getting the ball out quickly. I know it

1416
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: was because they were playing the Chargers in part, but

1417
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 1: that's one of the better defensive lines in the league.

1418
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Barrs coming off his best game as a pro.

1419
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: Everson Griffin's playing well, Lynn Valve jops, you know, Sirri Floyd.

1420
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 1: They have a lot of just players there, and it's

1421
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna be it's I think it's gonna be a tough

1422
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,240
Speaker 1: game for Denver to move the ball. We have all

1423
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 1: picked the Broncos to win the game. A little surprised,

1424
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: but I guess that defense and are improving. Peyton Manning

1425
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: Uh carries a day. Do you see the same way

1426
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Andrew in Minnesota? Yes, in Denver? Then yes, we have

1427
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: all picked the Denver Broncos to win this. That's what

1428
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 1: happened there. Yes, all right. So again, this is Andrew Siciliano,

1429
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 1: the host of The Round the NFL TV show. He's

1430
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna leave us in a second, but before he goes,

1431
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: we want to talk to Andrew and gentlemen, we're all

1432
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: going to talk about this little at the back end

1433
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: of the show. But since we have Andrew here, Uh,

1434
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: the NFL is beginning. It's annual trip to Jolly Old England.

1435
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Tenth traight year. Jeff Darlington got that trip. How about

1436
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: did you put in for it? I didn't I put

1437
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: in years ago. It never worked. I was trying to

1438
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: take t a there, said Kara Henderson, and I could

1439
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: go there. We'd fly home on Friday. I'd go do

1440
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Red Zone. She could stay in that finn I never

1441
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: got it. But this year Jeff Darlington, he took his

1442
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: tight suits to a place where they take tight suits. Share.

1443
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: Share some of your other career frustrations, Andrew, No, no, no, no,

1444
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 1: no no, I'm not frustrated. I went to London this summer.

1445
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: I saw Wimbledon. It was great. Andrew also did the

1446
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 1: Olympic coverage. This guy is professional. But here's the question.

1447
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: There is special Journal, a favorite cultural export from England. Um,

1448
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 1: Andrew sicilia. All right. I like Bond. I'm a big

1449
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: Bond fan. Awesome. On the literary side, you you can't

1450
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: argue with Dickens or Sherlock Holmes, certainly. Um, there's plenty

1451
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: of music. Can I go Monty Python though, or Monty

1452
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: Python and the Flying Circus. I'm a huge Python fan.

1453
01:12:58,280 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 1: So I spam a lot of the Hollywood Bowl, a

1454
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: couple of fantastic so and here is some Monty Python

1455
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: right here. Let's always look at the bright side of life.

1456
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,320
Speaker 1: Give a little listen, you guys don't know your Python

1457
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:13,600
Speaker 1: at all. I really and I and I'm happy that

1458
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: you know you've highlighted this. Andrew, tell me what made

1459
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: Monty Python great? Because it's absurd. It is absurd as

1460
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: anything on TV. Side of life, just a notch up

1461
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: of Benny Hill in your book, so much better than Benny.

1462
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, how could you like, for example, the Life

1463
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: of Brian? You guys never saw the Okay, Life of

1464
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: Brian is brilliant. Holy Grail is brilliant. All right, what's

1465
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 1: the starting point? The ministry of funny walks brilliant? If

1466
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,600
Speaker 1: I need to get in, where do I what's a

1467
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,560
Speaker 1: good started point? Why you give you? I'll give you

1468
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 1: the entire Flying Circus DVD said, if you want? Do

1469
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 1: you still have a DVD? Actually? Do I do it? Okay?

1470
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: I would watch Life of Brian. Have you seen Life

1471
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 1: of Brian? No? Them, totally? Okay? Everyone should know the

1472
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Holy the Holy Grail, Yeah, meaning the life where they've

1473
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: seen Mr Bean a lot. That's as far as my

1474
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: British that's that's a terrible answer, Mr Bean. I hope

1475
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: none of us have that answers. Our favorite export I

1476
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: would have being my favorite export but as a kid's

1477
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:28,719
Speaker 1: not there with They used to play it on HBO

1478
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: and a lot, a lot, and I liked it. But

1479
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: second choice, second choice would probably be Cure Nightly. Oh,

1480
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:39,600
Speaker 1: that's that's fair. All right. We're inching closer to a

1481
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Ladies Power rankings here. Scarlett and Alkira both brought up today.

1482
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: And nothing nothing says dork more than a top ten

1483

1488
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 1: by the way down saying, but I am. Yeah, no, no,

Speaker 1: I did it, man, I I could see the gears.

1495
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: It's so hard. I was concerned towards the end of that.

1496
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: But when you travel overseas, how how do you the

1497
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 1: time zones must mess you up? Like a that's it? No,

1498
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: I get out more. Now I listen. I'm doing my

1499
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,839
Speaker 1: best dork listen. Not all of us can cover the Olympics, Andrew.

1500
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: First of all, I cover the Olympics from Stamford, Connecticut, alright,

1501
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: which is just like so cheap but different? Uh, Andrew, Siciliana,

1502
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: thank you for Joe. Please come back next week. Good

1503
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: night now bye bye. Moving on another late game, the

1504
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers coming off a win on Monday night,

1505
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 1: now face of San Francisco forty Niners, who have looked,

1506
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 1: let's face it, like one of the worst teams in

1507
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 1: football for two straight weeks. Now. Um, so this seems

1508
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 1: on paper to be another chance for Aaron Rodgers to

1509
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: pad some stats against defense. It's not very good? True

1510
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 1: or false? Greg? What's true or false that he has

1511
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: a chance to pack that is stats against it? That's

1512
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 1: very good. Everyone has a chance to do that every week. Okay,

1513
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: don't necessarily I mean, thank you, Greg, who's gonna it's

1514
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna stop you? What did I do? You're very smart

1515
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:45,720
Speaker 1: and you won? Go ahead? Well, if I won, why

1516
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 1: do I have to get listen. Anybody can win on

1517
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 1: any given game because it's just a leven guys on

1518
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: each side. I mean, if the question is can Aaron

1519
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers shread anyone, of course the answer I would say

1520
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: is yes, I think that forty Niners have a chance.

1521
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: Why not? It's football. Oh god, it is weird because

1522
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,040
Speaker 1: the Niners team we saw it. I hated that analysis, Greig.

1523
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 1: I love your analysis all the time. That one I

1524
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: didn't like. Well, by this question, it's it's hard to say.

1525
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: It's a bad question that Rogers couldn't do well against anyone,

1526
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: especially this defense which has been But is there a

1527
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:18,720
Speaker 1: very good chance that Rogers is going to throw out

1528
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: one of those you know, the devastating performances again where

1529
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: it blows the get up by the third quarter. I

1530
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: think they will figure some things out and and do better.

1531
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: And of course it's a good chance this This defense

1532
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: has been shredded by Big Ben and Carson Palmer the

1533
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: last two weeks, and Rodgers is better than both of them.

1534
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,640
Speaker 1: A rod said, by the way, I'm no m J

1535
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: felt like a shot at Chris Wesley. Well, look, I

1536
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 1: know that Scott Tolzine is stealing my thunder here. I mean,

1537
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 1: three weeks after I make the comparison, Aaron Rodgers backup

1538
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: comes out and makes the same. Wait, is o dB upset? Well,

1539
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 1: now you've got two guys who are Michael Jordan's probably

1540
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: came over and made it, made the same. I realized

1541
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,799
Speaker 1: about you're talking head versus and I shot him down swiftly,

1542
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: and that that's simplistic. I was talking about, you know,

1543
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: specific traits in both cases, and with Aaron Rodgers it

1544
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: was more about terms of his transition and flow game.

1545
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: Is Dan and m J type of host on his

1546
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: best days? Yeah, I'll take that. That's good Mark. I

1547
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: see it as like an MJ. But like the baseball

1548
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: m J. All right, that's fair. Well, that's I like

1549
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: that he was Latigo earlier. You're more like that was

1550
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: MJ just saying I'm getting out of it. I'm just

1551
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,600
Speaker 1: gonna experience life. And that's what makes him one of

1552
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 1: the more fascinating athletes that he went and did that.

1553
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: That is a compliment in this game. Is Luke Longley,

1554
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: d Rings. I think Judd Buchler, we all got the Packers.

1555
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: Anybody takes that. I'm not even checking if anyone took

1556
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 1: the Niners. They're fired. I got clearance from Roger Goodell.

1557
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't pick home teams this week. The

1558
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys with Brandon Weeden lost their first game of

1559
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 1: the year of the Falcons last week. Now they faced

1560
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:01,880
Speaker 1: the Saints and uh, couple of things here. Drew Brees

1561
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: he resumed throwing. His status is unclear for week four. Again.

1562
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: He's speaking optimistically, but we don't know if we're going

1563
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:11,600
Speaker 1: to see Drew Brees. Uh. And then a little bit

1564
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: of a trade news, gentlemen, I'm gonna give it my best.

1565
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: The Saints acquired tight end Michael Umanui clad. That was

1566
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: like hammana Hama Hama, What is it? I think it's

1567
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was, But it was interesting who they

1568
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,560
Speaker 1: got in an exchange room. Saints. They gave up a

1569
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: Keen Hicks, a defensive and and I believe Hicks was

1570
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: essentially their first pick in the bounty Gate fallout draft.

1571
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 1: And he had a good rookie year and looked like

1572
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 1: a very promising player. And then he's gonna be awesome

1573
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: with the pain. Daniel, You're coming right away when you

1574
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: saw this trade went down. Is enough with the Patriots.

1575
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: What is this their eighth trade of the year. It's

1576
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,679
Speaker 1: kind of fascinating though, And it's also it's like Connor

1577
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: or is operating out of the front office, just wheeling

1578
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: and dealing, doing whatever he needs to do, and trade

1579
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 1: for Griff Whalen to make him the face of the franchise.

1580
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,599
Speaker 1: I love. Maybe it's a little you know, Bill Belichick,

1581
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 1: he knows this Tom Brady thing is gonna end soon.

1582
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta do whatever we can to try

1583
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 1: to win right now. And the Sissler get off the

1584
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: schneide New England. We used we used to have hero

1585
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: picks before Greg ruined it. And uh you picked the

1586
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys to win this game. Absolutely defend what used to

1587
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: be a hero. Brandon Weeden is going to throw four touchdowns.

1588
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: That was my bold prediction. I could be very wrong,

1589
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: but they will still win because I just look at

1590
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 1: the Saints defense, and the Saints have not They've lost

1591
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: the last six at home. The Cowboys have won their

1592
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 1: last ten on the road. Throw all that out. I

1593
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are just a better team. How is

1594
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: how is that a hero pick? I mean, I guess

1595
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's just flew Drew Brees if he does,

1596
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm assuming Drew Brees does not play that that I

1597
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: think is the safer guess. And Luke mccownt and I

1598
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 1: know he played pretty well last week, but he's saddled

1599
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: with the worst defense in the league, and the Cowboys

1600
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: offense looked away. Everyone's everyone's going out of their way

1601
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 1: to say Brandon Weeden didn't look that bad this week.

1602
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: Didn't he throw a pick six? And I wasn't a

1603
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: pick six, but it was what did they return? I

1604
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: think it led directly to a touchdown. The very look

1605
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 1: as bad as Brandon Weeden. Their offense shut down totally

1606
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 1: in the second half because the Falcons knew that the

1607
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys weren't going to do anything but throw it to

1608
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: the running ball. It's all about the offensive line, who

1609
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: gave Brandon weed In great protection and gave Joseph Randel, who,

1610
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: by the way, is just trashing your boy, Darren McFadden.

1611
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 1: This wave the white flag. Kristen Michael first team reps.

1612
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: We well, it's week four, you're backing now, But Den

1613
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,640
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden is throwing a touchdown pass more recently than

1614
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 1: Luke McCown. I think so. M j D. If the

1615
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys offensive line is as good as we've said it is,

1616
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: it can dominate and win a game against a lousy,

1617
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,719
Speaker 1: lousy Saints defense, Well we're near. The Falcons just showed

1618
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: the blueprint for how to shut down a Brandon Weedon

1619
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: offense when they did at the second, third, and fourth

1620
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 1: quarters last week. Well, then end the season. I'm sure

1621
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: they were trying to win the game in the first

1622
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: that was line up all your defenders tan yards in

1623
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 1: a line of scrimmage and darreweeding to throw past it.

1624
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: Which takes us now to the Monday night game. The

1625
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Oh, poor Detroit, oh and three already really

1626
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,879
Speaker 1: basically done Now now they got to go to Seattle

1627
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: in prime time to face the Seattle Seahawks at Century

1628
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: Link Field. Um, this is a very very tough spot,

1629
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler. For a Lions team. Let's let's face it.

1630
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: They don't win their seasons all but over, and they

1631
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 1: just drew a tough spot with this. It's not poor Detroit,

1632
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 1: it's poor football fans, because this is the second week

1633
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 1: in a row that we have to watch this Lions

1634
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: team in primetime. And you know this was supposed to

1635
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: be a good thing. How high should we get about

1636
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:51,679
Speaker 1: matt and Matthew Stafford led team ever, again, we shouldn't

1637
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: have before this season. But there is a lot of

1638
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: talent and they're not making the most of it. It's

1639
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: in Seattle, in Seattle, by the way, This game again

1640
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: should not be close. This is the Seahawks team we

1641
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 1: thought they were. We don't know if we'll see Marshawn

1642
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Lynch in this game. He's Uh, I'm not sure that

1643
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: matters with the way that better than and and do

1644
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 1: damage himself. This is not as a different Detroit defense,

1645
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 1: a different defensive line without sue another move, just like

1646
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray. Uh, nobody won that. It doesn't look like

1647
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: anyone's winning the Sioux movie either. Lines are Dolphins so far? Uh? Greg,

1648
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: can you make a case with the lines? Shocking? Uh?

1649
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: The football? Greg can make a case for anything world. No,

1650
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 1: But I don't mind seeing them in prime time compared

1651
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: the Chiefs back to back weeks. You know, I had

1652
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: a problem with that. The Lions, even at oh and three,

1653
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: are more interesting to me than a lot of teams

1654
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: out there, because of Calvin Johnson, because of Golden take,

1655
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 1: because of a mirror Doulah. I think they can give

1656
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks a game here. They at least have the

1657
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: firepower to get it get it together for a week.

1658
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: They have been very consistent though they've looked about like

1659
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 1: the same team each week, which is concerning when that

1660
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 1: team is like a C minus D plus type of team.

1661
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: Have a patch of out of the way pick the

1662
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: Lions plus his heart an injury, an injury could save

1663
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 1: the Lions from themselves. Joyke Bell, who would have to

1664
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: triple his yards per carry average to reach Trent Richardson

1665
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:15,679
Speaker 1: status here is one point one yards per Cary. When's

1666
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: the last time he saw something like that there is?

1667
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: I can't think of a year where Bell Bell is

1668
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 1: not a star running back on any level, hes Plotter,

1669
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: but where so many lead backs have gotten out of

1670
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 1: the gate to disastrous starts. I I and Marshawn Lynch.

1671
01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:32,519
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say has had a disastrous start, but not

1672
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: been good. He's not had a good one and he

1673
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: might not be playing in this game. We still don't really,

1674
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,480
Speaker 1: we still haven't seen the two thousand and fifteen Seahawks

1675
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: like exactly what they are, mostly because last week they

1676
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 1: were playing Jimmy Clawson in the first couple of weeks

1677
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:46,800
Speaker 1: were they weren't so great, didn't have camp Chancellor like,

1678
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 1: this is a chance for us to see it and

1679
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: this might be if this could be the Seahawks um

1680
01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:54,600
Speaker 1: Juggernaut coming out party. All right, that's those are the

1681
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 1: previews preview of week four. All right, now before we go,

1682
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: we talked about um with Andrew when he was here

1683
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: favorite cultural export from England and uh, you're good to

1684
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: go around the horn here. I'm curious. Um, We'll start

1685
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: with you, Mark Sessler, your favorite cultural export. Well, you know,

1686
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: I I lived there when I was a kid, so

1687
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that I remember is not

1688
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: really exports. By the way, Mark that he spent time

1689
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: in England more than Greg brought up that he gave

1690
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: to charity. Well, well, my point is that my find

1691
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: twice ones to tell you it was happening, and I'm

1692
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: just to say my fondest memories of England happened. You know,

1693
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,560
Speaker 1: there aren't things that I'm buying off shelves, but I

1694
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: will say this the British Office because I love the

1695
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 1: American Office. Two and I'm done with the debate of

1696
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: which one is better. But the British Office laid out

1697
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:52,600
Speaker 1: the you know, the groundwork and the skeleton for what

1698
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 1: the American show struggled with for a season or two

1699
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: and then they got on their own pace. But the

1700
01:25:57,960 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: British one got it done in two seasons. Say we're

1701
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 1: gona do to six episode seasons and a special. We

1702
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 1: can tell a story that quickly. We don't need to

1703
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 1: bleed everything dry for eight years. I can wake up

1704
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 1: one morning and go, oh, I don't feel like working today.

1705
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 1: Can I just stay in bed? Or don't be asked

1706
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 1: the boss? David? Can I stay in bed all day?

1707
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:21,760
Speaker 1: And David both me I'm not. It's not me in

1708
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 1: bed with another blow called David. One of the great

1709
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: debates if you want to have a fun debate. And

1710
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: I agree with you on the Office. The US version

1711
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 1: stayed on the air too long. It's a different world,

1712
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: a different business model. But if you put Michael Scott,

1713
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, seasons one through three against David Brent, the

1714
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 1: two Office seasons in the UK and the and the

1715
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Christmas special or whatever it was, uh, that is a

1716
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 1: great battle. Better character. I have strong opinions on the

1717
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: British Office is way better than the US thank you,

1718
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't think thank you. Well, they're different shows. Yeah,

1719
01:26:57,200 --> 01:26:59,719
Speaker 1: that's fair, they're different shows. But Steve Correll's and Steve

1720
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 1: all turned his character into his own character. That what

1721
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 1: made the America and great as they all became their

1722
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: own thing. Finally, But David Brent cannot be touched, in

1723
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: my book by anything that happened on The American Office. Right, Well,

1724
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: I respectfully disagree, because I think David Brent, that's he's

1725
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 1: amazing too. But I think um, Steve Correll and Michael

1726
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 1: Scott that was it's British verse American. H it's very

1727
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 1: different too. I stopped watching The U S Office because

1728
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 1: I didn't find Michael Scott to be a believable character. Well,

1729
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 1: he was never too believable, I mean it, I mean

1730
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 1: it got to the point when we were like, I'm

1731
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 1: just so frustrated that nobody could possibly It's like Ben

1732
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: Stiller movies. Nobody could be that stupid, nobody could mess

1733
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 1: up that many things simultaneously. That he ever became a

1734
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: manager's pretty funny. But you could say the same thing

1735
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: about David Brent. Origin there, Yeah, he's such an original

1736
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:52,560
Speaker 1: al right, West, your favorite cultural export from Well. I

1737
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 1: sort of lied on this England because I couldn't make

1738
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 1: up my mind between the Stones and the Beatles. That

1739
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:03,560
Speaker 1: is such a thout. I couldn't are lying about that.

1740
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: I went with sarcastic butlers usually to each a woman

1741
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 1: of your statue on that is Hobson from Arthur. And

1742
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: there's that blueprint of all these, you know, television shows

1743
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: and movies that have the sarcastic if we dry humored

1744
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: English butler, if we had uh, and I wish we did,

1745
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: and let's make sure we get it for the future.

1746
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 1: Andrew Siciliano's U, sir or coward? Drop? I drop it

1747
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 1: right now. There's nothing harder than Beatles versus Stones. But

1748
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 1: I would have loved to hear Wes a man that

1749
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 1: has opinions to take aside and run. Well, it depends

1750
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:38,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday mornings. Give me the Beatles, you know, they're

1751
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 1: kind of easy to listen to put you in that

1752
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,920
Speaker 1: mellow mood on a Friday or Saturday night. A hucka

1753
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 1: poo's give me the Stones, baby feats easy for me,

1754
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: but stones are amazing. I will also pick music, and um,

1755
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, I will go with Oasis and now a

1756
01:28:55,240 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 1: band that obviously was um influenced heavily, perhaps too heavily,

1757
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,680
Speaker 1: by the Beatles and also the Rolling Stones, And to me,

1758
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: this is when I got into music around ninety four,

1759
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: like heavily. That's right when Definitely Maybe came out the

1760
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: first Oasis album, and it was so different than everything

1761
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,919
Speaker 1: else on the radio because everything was post Kurt Cobain.

1762
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:22,799
Speaker 1: Everyone pretended trying to sound like Nirvana, everyone miserable. Everything

1763
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 1: was just like down tune guitars. And then there was

1764
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 1: this band from Britain out of nowhere, Oasis, who actually

1765
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:30,719
Speaker 1: wrote a song that were listening to called Live Forever.

1766
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 1: Their first song in their first album is called I'm

1767
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 1: a Rock and Roll Star, and it was this blast

1768
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,479
Speaker 1: of fresh air that music needed at the time, and

1769
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 1: they couldn't sustain it very long. But in those first

1770
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: especially those first two albums, they were everything I could

1771
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:47,640
Speaker 1: ever want from a rock band, and they to this

1772
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:50,760
Speaker 1: day are one of my favorite bands of all time.

1773
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 1: This is one of my I always give you guys

1774
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:54,639
Speaker 1: grief about Oasis, but this is one of my favorite

1775
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: songs ever. I think I got drunk in high school

1776
01:29:56,560 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 1: more to this song than any song. Yeah, I I

1777
01:30:00,320 --> 01:30:04,759
Speaker 1: like optimism life. It's totally appropriate. I like the idea

1778
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 1: of having a fun time, of enjoying your life. And

1779
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: that's what this band was beat and they what made

1780
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 1: it even better. They wrote all those songs like rock

1781
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 1: and roll, star and cigarettes and alcohol when they were poor.

1782
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: They came from a Manchester a single family home, and

1783
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: they a single parent home, and they all these dreams

1784
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 1: they had, they made it work. I liked it. It's

1785
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 1: two brothers that they each other too. Yes, the Gallagher

1786
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 1: brothers originally from Ireland. All right, here we go, Greg, Yes,

1787
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 1: I got you want to go? I want to go.

1788
01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the English, you know, credit for maintaining

1789
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 1: that language. They came up with so many great author

1790
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 1: authors getting it done right now from England's that's my favorite. X. Well,

1791
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 1: let's let's hear more. Well, i'd go the current guys,

1792
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:54,720
Speaker 1: Edward st Aben. I'm a big fan of Ian McEwen,

1793
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 1: Julian Barnes, Issha Gurro, big fan of I mean, you

1794
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 1: can go back through history to Jane Austin Graham Green.

1795
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: George Elliott is one of my favorite writers. George Orwell,

1796
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you're winning up lining up the

1797
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 1: English authors. Whether it's now or back in the day,

1798
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: it's a murderers Row, Willie the Shakes. That's that's the

1799
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:16,680
Speaker 1: one that's changed my life the most about Shakespeare ever

1800
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,720
Speaker 1: heard that if I were more cynical, I would think

1801
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 1: that this was Greg taking a shot at everyone else

1802
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 1: was saying, oh, you show you a little go buy

1803
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:29,799
Speaker 1: your little records and watch your little sitcoms first bullying.

1804
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: I actually thought about, oh, should I just pretend that

1805
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: some TV show meant more to me? Or should I

1806
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 1: actually be honest and and say something that I don't

1807
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 1: believe it is important to me. No, that's good, I'm not.

1808
01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just joking. It's good. Come on, Greg,

1809
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 1: you're into the Butlers. The only person I'm a little

1810
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 1: displayed in the West not I thought, that's what this is.

1814
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:02,640
Speaker 1: I love the Stones and the Beatles. But if I

1815
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:04,600
Speaker 1: had to pick one, and probably the Beatles before my

1816
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:06,640
Speaker 1: thirty of birthday, I would have been a blowout. And

1817
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 1: the Beatles would have won easily. But the older I get,

1818
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 1: the more I appreciate the stones. All right, let's turn
