Uh, but no, 76 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: I think Kyle, Kyle's gone above and beyond. Jason said, like, oh, 77 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: most definitely. Well, I'm you know, there's I don't doubt 78 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: that he's got deepnowledge what's happening, you know. To be fair, 79 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: I don't think Jason knew of you or any of us, 80 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: um until recently we were named one, you know, the 81 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: top ten analysts in the top ten football insider. So 82 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: I mean it's superable to stand up and take notice. Um. Anyway, 83 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: so good to be on g MFB.

How about that guy? Who is 87 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: that guy? He was really ridiculous. That's one of my 88 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: all tide favorite. No, I uh, it's I view it 89 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: differently at this point. It's it makes me laugh. Why 90 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: am I getting pulled? There's three he's you know, I mean, 91 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: how about that guy? Who is that guy? You know, 92 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: it reminds me, you know what I feel unseen and 93 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: like like I was mentioning to Dan that um this morning, uh, 94 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: you know, on one and a half hours sleep, I 95 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: went to leave the my hotel room and from inside 96 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: the knob to the main door just came ripped off. 97 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: And it was not due to incredible strength, It just 98 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: was simply faulty door. And so I called down. I 99 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: went down and talked to the concierge and said, this 100 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: is as much for you as it is for me. 101 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: I think you might want the door to be fixed. 102 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: So they sent up and engineer from I don't know what. Well, 103 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: we so he came and fixed it and we had 104 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: some nice talk back and forth. And then about twenty 105 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: five minutes later, we came to this room that we're 106 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: recording the show in and there was no power. So 107 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: we called down and said, can you please send an engineer. 108 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: The same guy came into the room and I said, 109 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: nice to see you again. You just fixed my door knob. 110 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: And what was his response to that? Look that you 111 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: like you had an elbow growing out of your forehead? Memory, 112 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: had no memory of you, and he was like, okay, 113 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: now to work. I mean I sensed that the man 114 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: may have certain things ripping through the bloodstream, because there 115 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: just seemed to be that what what a second taking 116 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: shots at this man have no memory of you? To 117 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: do perfectly? Do you have a door knob? So don't 118 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: you think that if you're just walking from room to 119 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: room fixing small menial issues, that probably would be nice 120 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: to be entertained in a variety of ways. You say 121 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: calling it small menial issues almost kind of as a 122 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: pot shot at this dude, just because he didn't remember you. 123 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: I mean, what you look like an average, you know, 124 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: guest at the hotel. He probably doesn't. Really, that doesn't help. 125 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you mean and it might have been 126 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: your strength. You've been in great shape lately. You don't 127 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: know your own power. By the way, we have um 128 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: sitting right behind me in my left. What did you 129 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: guys see the letter? It be? Documentary? What was the 130 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: latest Beatles get back? What was it called? I watched 131 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: about I watched the chunk of it, and I enjoyed it, 132 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: and yet I didn't. It was hard to do Tenant well, 133 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: I want to say, I love you. I devoured it. 134 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: I loved it, and I thought one of the biggest 135 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: takeaways from it was, you know, Yoko No gets a 136 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: bad rap. I think yoga Ono, who, of course was 137 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: John Lennon's second wife, um and uh, and some people 138 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: I believe have unfairly blamed her for the demise of 139 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: the Beatles, and I thought in that documentary she came 140 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: off okay. She's a maybe a strange woman, but a 141 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: creative artist type who, in my opinion, kind of stayed 142 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: out of the way and and was a supportive force 143 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: for John both in and out of the studio. And 144 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: I say that because Yessica is right behind me right now, 145 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: what's here? And like Yogo, um yesca doesn't have a 146 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: lot to say when we're together because we were built 147 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: what we were building out our live show yesterday, just 148 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: a supportive force, and I want to say that. I 149 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: want to say that, Jessica, thank you for being a 150 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: supportive force so far on this trip. Like Yogo, I 151 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: don't feel like it's an intrusion. It's just like having 152 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: a nice, warm blanket with us at all time. So, Jessica, 153 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: do you have anything you want to say to the audience? 154 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: She shook her head because she's just here to support. 155 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: It's an energy. Yes, Why should I be careful? What? Greg? 156 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: What is it now that you're a friend? Just I 157 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: just wanted because even Mark was getting I don't think 158 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: he agrees with your Yoko oh no analysis necessarily. Well, 159 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: I would just say thing because I don't know if 160 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: the documentary covered this. And this is where I get concerned. 161 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: For for Graver, there was a period where John and 162 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: Yoko parted ways, and it was about a year where 163 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: John went moved to l A on his own and 164 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: went utterly mental last weekend, absolutely mental in every possible way. 165 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: So you're just you know there's a there's a nice 166 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: love between Jessica and Justin. We can see that J 167 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: and J. But uh, you know, just if things go 168 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: go south, we may lose our producer to the similar 169 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: type of mind. So that's what you worried about your 170 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: self interest? And what were you worried about? Greg? No? 171 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: That was that was it? That Mark wasn't thrilled And 172 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: maybe Yessica will one day be like written about as 173 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: one of the more underrated artists of her generation. I 174 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: actually was at a like an art installation in Japan 175 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: recently and Yoko Ono's work was there, and people, I 176 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: feel like she's had a resurgence of music. Now you'd 177 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: be careful. Have you ever heard any of her music? 178 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying. Uh. Dot Org wrote an article in Retrospect. 179 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: Oh no is an ingenious um underrated or overrated? You 180 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: know the myth Vulture wrote about rather to take my 181 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: chances with Jessica as an artist every day of the week. 182 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: She's a photographic artist, yes she is. And she took 183 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: some great photos of us yesterday, probably better than Yoko 184 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: ever did. Now let's be now, let's get into it. 185 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: I have no use for Yoko I had positive things 186 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: about say about Yoko, and then I had some critical 187 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: Now we must move on a newsman the story. All right, 188 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: let's we're gonna talk marks QB Index, but before that, 189 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: let's do some news. We're you looking at on that defensilon, 190 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: it's something special. That's when I'm told, oh God, I 191 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: think becoming Russia and just didn't it a quarterback? It's 192 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: finger litting good special. I'm not sure of this, but 193 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: it's possible that Michael Irvin has been hanging out with 194 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: the maintenance man here in the building. Like, how do 195 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: I mean we need to get Michael Irvin on the show? Right, 196 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: we are colleagues and he's on first take or whatever 197 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: the cock the show is, and we're not talking to 198 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: Mike Irvin. He's talking about the cowboys. Just have them 199 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: on for cowboys. I mean, we need to maybe think 200 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: about what Michael Irvin has done to have the type 201 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: of media career he has. Now. Granted we're not Hall 202 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: of Fame receivers, but this is a man with longevity. 203 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of people come and go in 204 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: the media games since Michael Irvin entered, and at our company, 205 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: we need to add a little more finger looking good, 206 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: you'd be careful. Um, all right, let's speaking of the Cowboys. 207 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: Let's get to it. That was awesome. Cowboys coach Michae 208 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: McCarthy says he does not have a timeline for when 209 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott will begin a throwing program as he looks 210 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: to ramp up and we're turned to the lineup after 211 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: the thumb injury suffered in Week one that necessitated surgery. Uh. 212 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Jane Slater also reported on Tuesday that Week five against 213 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: the Rams is a game he quote could possibly start. 214 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: So there's your update on dec That's kind of in line, 215 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: Greggy with the um timetable we had early on and um, 216 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: where we are right now with the Cowboys. They're in 217 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: a good spot. I think after the injury happened, I 218 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: remember saying on the show if they get out of 219 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: like a five week stretch without Dock at two and three, 220 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: that you'll sign up for that every day. And now 221 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: they've won the last two games with Cooper Rush and 222 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: it's almost a house money situation until Deck gets back 223 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: and their favorite over the Commanders here on Sunday, they 224 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: could be at the three and one. It's almost like, yeah, 225 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: don't rush back. There's been all these reports. I thought 226 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: it was interesting that you heard some reports like actually, 227 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: he can maybe return in time for week four, and 228 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: that was before the game. Then after the game was 229 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: more like, how about week five? I mean, he hasn't 230 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: thrown at all? Why rushing back early? Cooper Rush has 231 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: run a different sort of offense than Dak Prescott did, 232 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: and it's been quite effective. I really like their play 233 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: calling and how aggressive. I'm not saying, uh that they 234 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: would want to start Cooper Rush over Dak Prescott. All 235 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: that talk is nonsense, but like maybe they should do 236 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: a little more of this play action stuff that's worked 237 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: so well and throwing early on on first down. I 238 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: cannot think of a quarterback that we've spent more time 239 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: over the past few years monitoring various injuries scenarios than 240 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. It just seems like it's constantly an issue 241 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. But for me, like Cooper Rush is 242 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: going to be a starter at some point. I think, 243 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: I think, I think down the road, I'm down, and 244 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: you got him awfully high in your quban gets away 245 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: like I mean, I don't. I try not to look 246 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: at this stuff till after I do it. But like 247 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: if you look where, he isn't like a QBR. He's 248 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: six pff, hasn't seventeen. He's just been very clean and 249 00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: I think they've let him throw the ball. He's been 250 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: a restive and the way they ran the ball off 251 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: the left side, especially on Monday Night, was a revelation 252 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. I Uh, I love the fact that 253 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: guys like Cooper Rushkin come along and and like do 254 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: something no quarterback has ever done. He is the first 255 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: quarterback in NFL history to have a game winning fourth 256 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: quarter drive in each of his first three starts. That's 257 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: literally never happened before. And Cooper rush comes in and 258 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: does it. It's pretty good. Yeah. I forget if it 259 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: was like a comeback, like he had to be behind 260 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, what the details were, but that 261 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: is it's pretty good. It's also surprising that's not happened 262 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: that this year as a pro football I also Jerry 263 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: Jones as the Cooper rush has the makeup of a 264 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: top QB. We have that there's no question, uh, he 265 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: understands this off fancy. Uh has got the make up 266 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: for top top quarterback and Underland the word makeup or 267 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: a top quarterback, which is all well good, and you 268 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: could say that now, but you also cut him at 269 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: the end of training camp, and then he went unclaimed 270 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: by thirty one other teams and that's how he ended 271 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: up back on your practice squad the week before they started. 272 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: So if you saw as a quarterback with the makeup 273 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: of a top player, that's not true. I mean you 274 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: saw him as expendable, But that doesn't matter. Now he's 275 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: on the team and he's done a great job, and 276 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott should not come back until he's remember when 277 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: it's a different digit. But when Russell Wilson and hero 278 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: Boy Mode decided to come back early from his finger 279 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: in injury, he was not good when he returned to 280 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: Seattle throwing thumb injury, you could see a similar issue. 281 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: If you don't, if you rush you Terry Jones cracks 282 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: me up. He's we love our Hulda back. He's one 283 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: of those dudes where now that was Jerry Jones kind 284 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: of He's one of those dudes that I don't want 285 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: to take for granted in terms of as being an 286 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: entertaining figure in our league. Jara, because a lot of 287 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: stuff is said by the Cowboys owner, Uh what is 288 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: the latest Greggy and Mark reserve common here because I 289 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: don't think you slathered yourself in glory on Tuesday's show. 290 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: Quite frankly, what is this about Hurricane Ian? What's the 291 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: latest grip? Well, it's not good. They as we tape 292 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: this and and this will be um, you know, out 293 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: of date. By the time most people listen to it, 294 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: it had been upgraded I believe to a category four, 295 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: that the winds were picking up, and uh, it could 296 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: get even worse than that. So I think it hits 297 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon in the US is when it's supposed to 298 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: really make landfall. And at this point they're they're pretty 299 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: worried that it could be closer to the worst case scenarios. 300 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: And and yeah, we'll see what that means for the 301 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: NFL of it all. Obviously that's secondary. But you would 302 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: think the game would would get moved. Yeah, right now 303 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: we know the it's Chiefs and it's Bucks, and we 304 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: know the Bucks have moved down to Miami to train, 305 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: which is interesting because Miami has its own like cancelations 306 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: and evacuations. Now, now it's probably is a tropical storm 307 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: there versus a hurricane, but it's not a great situation 308 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: in Miami either. The Dolphins actually left early to escape 309 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: the storm to go to Cincinnati for Thursday night, and 310 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: then the Bucks were arriving there. But I think it 311 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: might be a little worse there. So yeah, who knows 312 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: they'll have to move again. And I saw the report 313 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: this morning that Tom Brady gathered the entire family moved 314 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: them out of the Tampa area down to Miami. And 315 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: if they have to move again, I don't know how 316 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: gonna handle that, but I would not be doing two movings. 317 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: In other news, I almost got the mark, but I 318 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: feel responsible for that one. Mike Tomlin doesn't care that 319 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: you don't think. Mitch Mark just did something I've literally 320 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: never seen him do in all the years we've done 321 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: it together. He just raised his little shoulders like what me. 322 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: I loved it. I told you I wanted you to 323 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: comport yourself with professionalism, and then I put a softball 324 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: on a t and said, here you go, buddy. Mike 325 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: Tomlin uh says that Mitch uh Trabinsky is his dude. 326 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: Here's what he said to the Do you like in 327 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: the way that he's progressing in all areas um in 328 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: decision making? And where he's going with the ball at 329 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: the time in which he's making decisions, the prude use 330 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: of mobility um. Whether it's by schematics or or by 331 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: ad lib um, but just generally all areas alright, So 332 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,719 Speaker 1: Tomlin is that's coach speak obviously, um. And Kenny Pickett 333 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: is the first round pick waiting to play, and the 334 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: Steelers are the team with the offense that can't really 335 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: move the ball. So as much as Tomlin could say that, 336 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: market also feels like Trabinsky is gonna need to have 337 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: a real game where he pops soon, or it's gonna 338 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: be a situation where you feel like the Steelers gotta 339 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: pull the lever and try to move this offense in 340 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: a different direction. I just don't think Tomlin feels any 341 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: pressure to put pick it in like another coach in 342 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: another situation on a team, and arrest might. Uh. There's 343 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: a trickle down effect though, because it seems like weeks 344 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: in a row you're getting either veiled or unveiled comments 345 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: from his collection of white outs that seemed miffed with 346 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: how things are going. And I think there's situations where Trabisky, 347 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: who has been you know, pretty good throwing the ball 348 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: outside of the pocket and he is mobile and I 349 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: think trabisk or Tomlin likes that, but he's missing wide receivers. 350 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: He's not seen them. There just seems to be too 351 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: many misfires each game. And like against the Browns, for instance, 352 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: they had a hat trick of three and outs where 353 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: they barely held the ball and the defense was on 354 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: the field for thirty six plus minutes, so they can't 355 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: get off the field. That's sort of on them. Well, 356 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: that's all right, that's true on the defense, but if 357 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: you like, I mentioned this on on our Friday Fund 358 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: Show that if you go and look at PFF snap counts, 359 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: there's like six or seven Steelers starters who are at 360 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: the positions the most snaps of anyone in the league. 361 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: And that has a little bit to do with that 362 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: overtime game, but it has to do with the fact 363 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: that week after week the Steeler's offense is not staying 364 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: on the field, and I think it just you're tiring 365 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: out the defense. The offense has no flow to it, 366 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: and why not. I think if you're a Steelers fan, 367 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: at what point do you not just want to see 368 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: if Kenny Pickett can bring some life they're just they do. 369 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: And also us that watch the games and want to 370 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: have something more exciting to root for, like, oh yeah, 371 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: I get the kid in. But sometimes us on the 372 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: outside obviously don't know what Mike Tomlin and his staff 373 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: think about the rookie and whether he's ready to play. 374 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: I think that's a component and this as well to know. 375 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: I mean he looked at but but the right and Trabisky. 376 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: I don't think has been as bad as people making 377 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: him out to be. He's thirteenth in the PF grades 378 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: right now, which was surprising to me. For even Markasm 379 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: had a seven different starters, so that that's like, uh 380 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: an air of competence, replacement level play. He's like twenty 381 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: two in QBR out of thirty two. I thought he 382 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: showed a little bit of progress in that Brown's game. 383 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: Uh I I put that deef those defensive stats on 384 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: the defense. They can't stop the run. I mean it's 385 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: not they just can't stop the run, and then you 386 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: end up only having three offensive it's a little bit 387 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: of both. He hasn't been inspiring, but they have other problems. 388 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: They that's the problem with the Steelers team right now. 389 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: You don't you don't have the defense that could make 390 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: up for a bad Ben Roethlisberger. Now you have a 391 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: pretty mediocre defensive, poor offensive line, and maybe he doesn't 392 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: want to put the rook And I just say this, 393 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: and I don't want to be this guy because this 394 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: guy usually and our industry is labeled a bozo. But 395 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: the analytics and where he ranks a PFF in this 396 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: place in that place is one thing. But he doesn't 397 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: pass the eye test to me, Oh absolutely, I think 398 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: that's absolutely true. I'm just saying he's like sort of 399 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: that replacement level guy. He probably doesn't pass it for 400 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: Tomlin either. I think there just seems to be a 401 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: reluctance to throw pick it in there. When he said 402 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: he definitively is not considering pick it, that was I mean, 403 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: he's answered these questions about as strong as you can. Um. 404 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: They play the Jets this week. The Jets play all 405 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: four a f C North teams on a road to 406 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: start the year. That's stupid. Um. After the Week four 407 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: a home game against the Jets and Steelers have Bills, Bucks, Dolphins, Eagles, 408 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: So you have to win this game. Maybe you don't 409 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: want to pick it in. That's a rough line up. Yeah, 410 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: because the Jets got the Bengals and the Bengals couldn't 411 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: lose either whatever. All right, and you complaining about getting 412 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Steelers in a row. I mean 413 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: those are two I don't know, here's the entire division. 414 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: You get the first four weeks. It's kind of a 415 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: funky way to start. I agree with that. No offense 416 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: to the Jets, but I just mean, do you line 417 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: up against the Jets that does feel like an easy opponent, 418 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: The Browns, the Brian Hoyer Patriots. I mean that that 419 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 1: game was truly an anomaly. Alright, let's see, look at 420 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: this guy defending I'm just saying like that, You're Jets 421 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: fans are clinging so tightly to a game where like 422 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: fourteen things that will never happen again had to happen 423 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 1: in a row, and they all did. They all did. Uh, 424 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: And it doesn't bother you at all? Um, all right, 425 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: how about Xavier Roads signing with the Bills. Their secondary 426 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: is absolutely massacred right now by injuries, so they bring 427 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: Xavier Rhods, who you know once U part of time, 428 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: Greg was a real big time player. He's a little 429 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: older now, but that's where the Bills are at, and 430 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: it's it is a reminder a team could look absolutely 431 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: unstoppable and then injuries hit and you all of a 432 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: sudden have a huge vulnerability and your roster. And for them, 433 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: it's their back end of their defense. They've had two 434 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: areas of cascading injuries, one on the offensive line where 435 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: they were a mess on the interior against Miami and 436 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: they'll get players back, and then the other in the secondary. 437 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: Part of the reason I wanted to mention this one, 438 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: like Okay, Xavier Rhodes might help them out. They lost 439 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: another cornerback, Christian Benford, their rookie who has been starting 440 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: during the Dolphins game. Is that we never even mentioned 441 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: because it happened Saturday, that Micah Hides out for the 442 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: season and maybe more. It was ominous the way they 443 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: described the neck injury. It's like he's out for the 444 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: air and we hope, we hope he'll be ready to 445 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: go next year. He's such a great player. Not that 446 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: George Poy or their other safety injury who's also out, 447 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: Jane jack Jackson with the neckljury, who's also isn't good. Um. 448 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: But there's a reason why Mike Hyde is gonna be 449 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: was gonna be the guy who is paid as one 450 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: of the top young free safeties in the league. Who's 451 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: the guy who made that interception against Mac Jones last year, 452 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: which was one of the plays of the year. Him 453 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: and Ployer kind of defined who this defense has been 454 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: I would say over the last five years, and to me, 455 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: Hyde was kind of the key guy. It was him 456 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: at safety and tried as White at cornerback. That's a 457 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: big bummer on top of all the other injuries where 458 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: they're playing sixth round picks. It's definitely a rough week 459 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: to be playing the Ravens. I know. We'll talk about 460 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: that tomorrow. Uh. In other news, we mentioned the Bills. 461 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey is the offensive coordinator to the Bills, and 462 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: he went viral on Sunday after time ran out and 463 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: their narrow loss to the Dolphins. Uh. The Bills at 464 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: Crossman Field had a chance again into field goal position 465 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: and you know what happened. Josh Allen, through a pass 466 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: completed Isaia McKenzie got stuck inbounds. Clock ran out before 467 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: they can ran to play. Cut to smash cut to 468 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: the upstairs offensive coordinator room for the Bills and Ken 469 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: Dorsey has a tantum, throwing down his paper, his headset, 470 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: just going nuts before some mystery hand covers the couch 471 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: is the best part. Ken Dorsey had his weekly media availability. 472 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: Of course he was asked about it, and uh, you know, 473 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: it was a playoff atmosphere, a lot of credits to 474 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, and obviously we weren't on the winning end 475 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: of it. So it's a it's frustrating and um, you 476 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: know reacted that way and obviously that's something that I'm 477 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: definitely gonna learn from. And uh, you know, I don't 478 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: ever wanna want to take the passion out of the game. Uh, 479 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: we're all in this on this to win football games 480 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: for obviously for the Bills, for for our fans, and 481 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: uh we're gonna give give them everything we got. But 482 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: it's something I'm learn from and uh and make sure 483 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: you know it's a correct to move forward. So this 484 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: is my take on this. I'm curious what you guys 485 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: think about it. Um, my first instinct was, don't apologize. 486 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: It's okay, be passionate and be be yourself. And and 487 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: I think everyone that's watching the games understands you rent 488 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: fifty one more plays than your opponent. You were clearly 489 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: the better team, and yet somehow you lost one of 490 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: those weird funky games. But then I thought about it, 491 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I get it. What is like the 492 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: biggest golden ticket right now to become a head coach 493 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL? Like there's a few spots, but offensive 494 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: coordinator of the Bills is one of them. You just 495 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: saw with Brian Dable and Ken Dorsey. Who wants to 496 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: be a head coach, I'm sure doesn't want this to 497 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: be something that's attached to him that he loses his 498 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: uh temper in a in a big spot. So that's 499 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: what I think he probably is most regretful about rather 500 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 1: than anything else, which I get. But I'm happy. I mean, 501 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say I'm happy, but I I'm It's cool 502 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: to see the passion of the sport like that. But 503 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: I understand why he wants to do damage control. I 504 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: completely agree with you. I think it's because we don't 505 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: know Ken Dorsey personality wise. If you're if you're Bill 506 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: Parcels and you're losing your mind on the sideline, we 507 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: get that because it comes with street cred and we 508 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: understand that you're allowed to be all these emotions. I 509 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: kind of love uh Ken Dorsey in that moment. Just 510 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: let your nucleus shine, and like, I don't really, I don't. 511 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it takes anything away from his higher ability. 512 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: But it probably was someone gotten his ear and said 513 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: a little bit of damage control, just so that we 514 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: can see that you've are an even keeled dude on 515 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: top of that moment. If you are, I guess I'm 516 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: torn because like I love I love sports, that it 517 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: would be a fun thing to be a part of 518 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: as your profession, Like if you were a player or 519 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: or a coach that you haven't avenue that's like so 520 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: clear winds or losses, everything comes into Sunday. Like you 521 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: make good play, you can just scream as loud as 522 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: you can on the field. Well what what other you know? 523 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: You can celebrate. You can do all that and that's amazing. 524 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: On the other hand, put yourself in Kendorsey's shoes, wouldn't 525 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: you be embarrassed? I mean, you are a grown up 526 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: and and yes it's sports, but you aren't on the field. 527 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: You're up there. When that ends, either you have to 528 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: pick up everything or you're asking someone else to pick 529 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: up everything. I think many objects in the booth. Yeah, 530 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: I mean someone's gonna pick that up. You know, you 531 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: just ruined, like you have to deal with the I T. Staffer, 532 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: or you're making someone below you deal with the I T. 533 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: To I'm saying that I like it, but I'm saying 534 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: if you were him, when you are dealing with the 535 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: fall out with this, whether you're talking to that I ty, 536 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: whether you're paying for this stuff, whether you're watching the 537 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: news reports, I think you'd probably feel embarrassed about it 538 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: and want to correctly. But I don't think he actually 539 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: made I think he just picked up his papers and 540 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: slammed them and maybe a headset to the computer. I 541 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: don't think he was like that, you destroyed the laptop. 542 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: He smashed a tablet, Microsoft surface whatever it did a break. Uh, 543 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: they cover the camera, Well just Tom. Does Tom Brady 544 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: go pick up his smash tablet or does he have 545 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if he has reflection on that, but 546 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: I have a feeling Ken Dorsey in that spot, who's like, 547 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, in that position, probably afterwards reflected on it 548 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: and it was like not proud, Well he just said that. Yeah, 549 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: I mean that I get where you're coming from Greg there. 550 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: But like, I don't know if if the number one 551 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: thing I need out of Ken Dorsey is sort of 552 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: like booth politeness. I I see, I see what you mean. 553 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: But all right, let's move on spicy topping there, like 554 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: we could have gone on for ten minutes. Um. The 555 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: Washington Post reported um recently that there is a sentiment 556 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: among owners in the NFL, a sentiment that has shifted 557 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: significantly as the league awaits to find out both a 558 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: congressional investigation, the results of the Congressional investigation and an 559 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: NFL commission study by Mary Joe White Um per the 560 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: Washington Post, multiple owners have said in recent days that 561 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: they believe quote serious consideration could be given to attempt 562 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: to oust Daniel Schnyder Daniel Snyder as owner of the 563 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: Washington football team now the Commanders, either by convincing him 564 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: to sell his franchise, as according to the Post, or 565 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 1: by voting to remove him um Mark Greg. One uh 566 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: unnamed owner told the Washington Post, You're gonna go to Mark, 567 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: but then you're deciding this definitely needs to go to Greg. 568 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: He needs to sell. Some of us need to go 569 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: to him and tell him that he needs to sell. 570 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: An interesting source to have that. It's an owner that 571 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: who's going on the record, granted not putting his name 572 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: or her name, I suppose um, and it's never seen 573 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: a story like this. The owner said, we need to 574 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: get to twenty four votes. Uh, it's it's a tricky 575 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: thing because Dan Snyder's faced more problems, I would say 576 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: than any owner that that we've covered, and in this 577 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: investigation from Congress is pretty unprecedented. They also had their 578 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: CEO at TIEF operating opposer officer resign UH in the 579 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: last week. So there's just been a lot going on. 580 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: But an owner going on the record and saying there's 581 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: more momentum and serious consideration to actually taking this vote. 582 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: Never seen it in in any time I've ever been 583 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: UH monitoring the league, and even these quotes on the 584 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: record is pretty unprecedented. One thing that stood out to 585 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: me is the inability to secure public financing for a 586 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: new stadium. I feel like maybe I'm cynical, but that 587 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: kind of thing, that lack of progress would annoy most 588 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: owners and like, like from a financial angle than the 589 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: actual culture inside the team. Do you do you? I mean, 590 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: this has been going on in Washington for so long. 591 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: This stadium thing just happened. More recently, it's been a 592 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: bigger problem. Like the the the league wants to see 593 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: every franchise grow in that way, and I just I 594 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like it's more financial than it is. 595 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: Suddenly they care about these other issues. But but I 596 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: don't speak to the owner, so I don't know. That's 597 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. Let's take a break and 598 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: then check in on the quban das. All right, here 599 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: we go. We're back. We are back. Three quarters zips 600 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: are back as well. Daddy's three quarters zipss Can you 601 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: hear it?

Can't 605 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: wear them in southern California this time of year. Um, 606 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: certainly not. People don't know. September is like Indian summer 607 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: in uh Los Angeles and the surrounding territories. It's a 608 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: thick fabric attached to that. But when you go to 609 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: England in late September, Oh, Daddy's bringing the three quarters zips. 610 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: They're back who said this podcast doesn't have sex appeal, 611 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: So you'll see multiple um zaddi three quarters zips for 612 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: the rest of this week.

By the way, it 623 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: also took her half a second to go thumbs down. 624 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: I respect that you do have to leave the room now, 625 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: but um no, I I'm just saying from the dad perspective, 626 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: have you been wearried sunglasses the whole show? Now? He 627 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: just put them on because that was like, I can't 628 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: believe I didn't notice that. Do you not see? It's disarman, 629 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: We're indoors, these these dad's with their fashion. They go 630 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: down a wormhole where you think that what you're wearing 631 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: is appealing to all. But you've just gotten from a 632 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: relatively lower generation female generation, newer person? Are you a 633 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: newer person? Your person who you would be relatively lower 634 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: The people are wandering aund together. It's like they don't 635 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: even see, they don't need You're not even You're invisible 636 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: to them as you as I walked down the street, 637 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: I'm if I'm going to if I'm going to the 638 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: the soccer game with the kids, and I got the 639 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: T shirt on, I'm going to wear the T shirt 640 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: at the house and during most of the day. Yeah, 641 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: but then I throw on the three quarters But you 642 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: just you just said that the three quarters zip has 643 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: been stored in a box because you can't wear it 644 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: where you chose to live yet. But I will be 645 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: able to wear saying weatherwise. I think the difference is 646 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: that keep it in a box. You don't like, you 647 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: hate it, you don't like the thought that younger women 648 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: are looking through you, not even paying attention to you 649 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: as a as a sexual rain. But they never looked 650 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: at me that way. So I don't need to address 651 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: you need to adjust. I I'm just gonna say this, 652 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: the men of the around the NFL universe that listened 653 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: to the show, connect with the bozos at this table 654 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: and share your love of the three quarters at look, 655 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: I had many three quarters zips, but recently I just 656 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: decided it was time to help out some people a 657 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: goodwill and uh, and what did you replace them with? 658 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: Seven thousand black jackets that are sweatshirts. They weren't comfy. 659 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: You know, they're nice when you'd give charity, Greg, the 660 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: next step is to not tell everyone about it. Well 661 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: that how else are you I was going to explain 662 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,240 Speaker 1: that you gave it away? You know, I'm just giving facts. 663 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: People know that. Oh well, they didn't go over to 664 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: loss for nothing. They didn't go on to dumpster. It's 665 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: for the underprive. What did you call the lower generation? 666 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: You know, I meant a younger person. They're not a 667 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: lesser person. I wasn't saying she was less stress and 668 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: she was younger than you from a different part of 669 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: the world. Uh. In terms of ter what is it 670 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: like for the humanoids the relatively longer how did they 671 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: emote and communicagee Mark has a QB index, And I 672 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: said before we started mark. You need to defend your 673 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: honor here. I this is unsolicited advice, but I'll tell 674 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: you if someone's done the Power rankings for multiple years, 675 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 1: the most important thing is to stand by your convictions, 676 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: and if someone pushes back on them, don't just go, oh, yeah, 677 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: you're kind of right or well, you know, I was 678 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 1: on psilocybin at the time when I wrote this, right, 679 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: I need to battle my own apathy on that frontier. Yeah, 680 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: you really. Yeah, And if it's an apathy issue, you 681 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: might want to talk to Ali. But no, no, I 682 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: mean just in terms of engaging assignment. No, I mean 683 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: arguing with people about their opinion on it. But I 684 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: in this case, I would I. Well, it's a sports podcast, 685 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: and you have a list that ranks all the quarterbacks 686 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: and where they are in the pecking order of our 687 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 1: league right now, QB and dex check it out NFL 688 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,720 Speaker 1: dot com slash QUB Index. That's a guess that Europe 689 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: also NFL dot com slash Sessler. If you're feeling frisky, Uh, 690 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: here here's the top ten from the QB Index, and 691 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: I think it gets saucier in in in the middle section. 692 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: But let's see where Greg comes down. On the top 693 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: ten that does not include Joe Burrow, just gonna let 694 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 1: you know, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, 695 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 1: justin Herbert m to a tongue of Voloa, Aaron Rodgers, 696 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, Tom Brady, Kyler Murray. I'm gonna push back 697 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: on Herbert right off the bat here. Football is completely 698 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: different than basketball. That's true. That's very true. Uh, And 699 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: you're off the bat. You are strong in your convictions. 700 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: We love Herbert. We all love Herbert. Um. I don't 701 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: know what is the QB index. Let's sorry, what does 702 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: it mean? The n the first couple of weeks, and 703 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: by the way, because Greg uh created this product, it 704 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: is interesting to talk and West. I've gone back and 705 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: read many of Greg's and many of West's, and but 706 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: number one, like, uh, some of the stuff I read 707 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: is incredible, and so like when I attacked it in 708 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: my own way, No, I was gonna say, like, I'm 709 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 1: gonna do it in my own way. But my one 710 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: thought was that in the first couple of weeks, the 711 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: first month is tough because this is the one week 712 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: where I I really created a lot of difference from 713 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: where we were before because I didn't want to overreact 714 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 1: to person X has great week one, and I really 715 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 1: was just looking at more the career, what we what 716 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: we have, the sample size, and this was the one 717 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: week where I started to create differences. So your your situations, 718 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: your issues with some of the top ten, it's now 719 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: based more on what's happened over these three weeks and 720 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: less like I have no problem. Like I looked at 721 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: one that West did, for instance, where he had Tom 722 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: Brady sitting like sixteen, and I was like, well, that's bold. 723 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: But then it's like, because you have to go where 724 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,959 Speaker 1: with where you are in this season about the first 725 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: three weeks of the season at this days, which is 726 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 1: not which like Cooper Russian Jacoby pre Sent for instance, 727 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: are smack dab in the middle. But but it seems 728 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: like you're still giving some um some props to their career, 729 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: certainly to a tongue of Voloa being six already. That 730 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: that's what stands out most to me. That's a big 731 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: that's a big confidence. I'm basing that not on the 732 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: milk toast to uh that we saw before, but more 733 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: what he's produced this season. Now. A week ago I 734 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: did not have him nearly in this place. So to 735 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 1: that same point, Herbert, who we all love UM, is 736 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: playing hurt, wasn't able to get the win in Kansas 737 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: City through a bigger pick six. I know you could 738 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: say it wasn't his fault. UM two good games though, 739 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 1: I got the win over the Raiders, but it wasn't. 740 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, an incredible performance. You have 741 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: him in the top five. There's some built in UM 742 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: backstory with him to have him above to UH really interesting. 743 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: I like the other thing that I think that I 744 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: would say that the tension there is that I have 745 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: a deep faith in Justin Herbert. He is hurt right now, 746 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 1: he's playing through it. I don't see in any way 747 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: that Justin Herbert is a lesser quarterback than to UH, 748 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: and so there is the tension between who he is 749 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 1: and the sample size. But I also think that through 750 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: his injury, like you threw that fifty five yard absolute 751 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: laser beam to Jalen Guiton last week, something that I 752 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: can't how many other quarterbacks can even do what he does. 753 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: I got a problem with that because to me, Herbert 754 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: was sensational in Week one. UH he made five or 755 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: six Thers in the game that we're just insane. I 756 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: thought he played really well against the chief So you're 757 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: getting two out of three games. And what this top 758 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: ten kind of outlines to me is that the top 759 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: quarterbacks this year, and I would say offenses in general 760 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: this year points are way down in the NFL are 761 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,760 Speaker 1: struggling a little bit, because, yeah, the top three Lamar, Jalen, Hurts, 762 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you could shake come up however you want. 763 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: I put Lamar one, but whatever, those three are probably 764 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 1: gonna be your top three right now. But then you 765 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: look at the big names like Rogers team is averaging 766 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: sixteen points a game, Matthew Stafford has more interceptions than touchdowns, 767 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Uh, they've got like the seven ranked d 768 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: v o A. Kyler Murray has done well, but he's like, 769 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, kind of just trying to to take water 770 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: out of a sinking ship right now. And those are 771 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: guys in the top ten, And I don't have great 772 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: arguments for guys that should be ahead of them. Maybe 773 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: you know the QB Index, the qbs in general are 774 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: struggling a little bit. An early theme to the year 775 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: I really felt doing this, like after you get past 776 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 1: the five, six, seven spot where you can make a 777 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,959 Speaker 1: real argument for why they're there. I I felt again 778 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: it starts to get really muddled because I think Kyler Murray, 779 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: for instance, it's like you can separate the fact that 780 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: physically he can do things that so few can, and 781 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: you see certain plays like that two point conversion. It's 782 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: like he's still a magical play, but he's attached to 783 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: an absolute mess and it's affecting his play. I mean 784 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: he has he has three touchdown passes right now, you're 785 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: right there. I think the middle is more juicy. What 786 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: what like caught your eye there? Well? I think Jacoby 787 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: Brissette has been excellent um so far this season. Like 788 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: so for instance, like if I put your code here, 789 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: I put him at sixteens last two weeks. It's so 790 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: early it's hard to really make the fine. Put him 791 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: in Cooper Rush sixteen seventeen. That is over some guys 792 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,399 Speaker 1: like Cars nineteen, Russell Wilson's twenty one. So you say 793 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: you're giving some love to their careers still, but Russell 794 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: Wilson down there at twenty one, four spots below h 795 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. But part of me is like very excited 796 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: let's say you just remove their names entirely, and you 797 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 1: watched Jacoby Brissette and Cooper Rush especially, and you watched 798 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, like, I haven't no problem putting Cooper Rush 799 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: over Russell Wilson future ductor Prescott. But I struggled that. 800 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: My thing was like, after week four, it's just this 801 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,839 Speaker 1: season alone, and that was that was the week where 802 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: starting with the week next week's rankings, where it's just like, okay, 803 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: stop giving them any credit for what they've done before. 804 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: I guess you're sort of in a mix now. In 805 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's he hasn't been great, but he's also asked 806 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 1: to do I a lot more than a Cooper Rushes, 807 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 1: which I think should be. That's putting Cooper Rush up there, 808 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: that's fair. I had Cooper Rush thirty two lat like 809 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: that when he entered because it was just like he's 810 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: starting there and let's just see what happens. But Cooper 811 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 1: Rush has been watchable the cow He's done as much 812 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: as you could ask any backup to do. And I 813 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 1: feel that way about Jacoby Percets. So it's like, if 814 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: I keep them buried down at eight, I don't really 815 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: think that's an honest appraisal of what they've done. That's fair. 816 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: Mark loves a sluggish backup, though a backup that move 817 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 1: Mark loves him. So Jacoby Brissett and Cooper Rush, those 818 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: are his guys. Um it should be stated. I and 819 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm comparing this again to Power rankings. This is harder, 820 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,399 Speaker 1: I think to do QB index because there's so many 821 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 1: outside factors that affect the quarterbacks. So you have Matt 822 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 1: Ryan at twenty two, and I think that's probably the 823 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: spot and around there where I would put him. But 824 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 1: the whole idea of Matt Ryan was that he was 825 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: going to have a better offensive line and Jonathan Taylor 826 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 1: would be the best running back, most productive running back 827 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: in the league, and you know, you would have a 828 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver that was making the leap and 829 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: that would carry the passing game on some on some level. 830 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: And none of that has happened. And does that reflect 831 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: poorly on Matt Ryan or is it just reflect poorly 832 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,439 Speaker 1: on the Colts, because I don't. I think if Matt 833 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: Ryan had the blocking we were expecting, if Matt Ryan 834 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: had the had Jonathan Taylor chewing up yards on the 835 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 1: ground and dictating the flow of the offense, and he 836 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: had a healthy wide receiver room, things would be a 837 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: lot different. So it's just hard to classify a guy 838 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 1: like Ryan. Well, that's the thing. It's like trying to 839 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: separate the quarterback play from the environment. And there's so 840 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: many of these quarterbacks that I feel like are deeply 841 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: affected by their environment. And and but Matt Ryan to 842 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: me as a quarterback and decline right, Graver was really 843 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: shaking his head hards, I think, saying like, you can 844 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: blame Matt Ryan if I'm reading your head. Yes, Well 845 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: my thought was both, it's Matt Ryan's fault, but it's 846 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 1: also the Colts felt like the offensive line has not 847 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: been Matt Ryan has also been fumbling a lot. He 848 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 1: can't make up for it, though, and and one of 849 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 1: the reasons you you expect him that he could maybe 850 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,839 Speaker 1: is like at least the mental side of it will 851 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 1: solve things. But him and his offensive line or a 852 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,360 Speaker 1: mess right now. It's a new system for him, but 853 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 1: he's looking like a rookie quarterback where just free rushers 854 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: are getting in and they're not making the right calls 855 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: and he doesn't have the arm to make up for it. 856 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: I hadn't initially lower. To be honest, you could be 857 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: I had him initially right around the middle of the pack, 858 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,280 Speaker 1: which is so I think what the Colts would have accepted. 859 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: To be honest, I was way too high at twenty. 860 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: Wentz has had some good quarters, uh, but he's not 861 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback I trust. And then I just want to 862 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: read some stats about my guy, Gino, which I'm just know. 863 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: How is this happening right now? Be quick about I'll 864 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: be quick about going. I'll be quick about I'm just 865 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: giving independent analysis p F offensive grade among all quarterbacks 866 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: eight completion percentage over expected, which measures like the types 867 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,240 Speaker 1: of throws that they make and the expected completion percentage 868 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,479 Speaker 1: based on where he is. You know where he's ranked 869 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: right now. I don't care you order where next. Gent Stats. 870 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,399 Speaker 1: It's an NFL company. You know where they rank them 871 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: number one in the entire NFL. Zeno Smith, Jato Smith 872 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 1: Road numbers Geno Smith very solid. So I'm just saying, 873 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: if you're gonna give Cooper Russia Jacoby precent sixteen and seventeen, 874 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,880 Speaker 1: you can't argue that the numbers say Gino's a top 875 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: ten quarterback. I would not argue that EPA por plays 876 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,799 Speaker 1: of that. I would not argue that personally I test 877 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: all that stuff, but I do. I would argue that 878 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: you could put him ahead of Cooper Russian Jacoby at 879 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 1: like fifteen or fourteen, if you're gonna put them there. 880 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: His job, part of his job is to is to generate, 881 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,840 Speaker 1: to generate the artisan points, their thirty first in points. 882 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: But that's why you don't put him number one. He's 883 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: a field you know when when sometimes you try to 884 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 1: push back against a contrarian label and then something like 885 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 1: this happens. You you said yourself, you said four days 886 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: ago Greggy that you'll admit he's only had four really 887 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 1: good quarters and they're spread out over three games. The 888 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 1: first game of the third game and he's the offense 889 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: has done zilch literally nothing, and all the other quarters. 890 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: So you could like all those stats, but at the 891 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 1: same time, it's again I test with Gino. It's when 892 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:39,799 Speaker 1: he's literally in the NFL. We're probably like seventeen or something. 893 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 1: You know, you would take Geno Smith over. I would 894 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 1: take him over Cooper Rush. I would take him over 895 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: Jacobe Brisett. If you're talking about just this year, I 896 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 1: would say he's played better than Matt Ryan, certainly than 897 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Uh yeah, I see. I don't think he's 898 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,319 Speaker 1: played better than Cooper Rush. I don't think he's done 899 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 1: more for his team. I don't I get you with 900 00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: the completion percentage, but part of that is that's over 901 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: expected ultra well. He actually leads in completion and a 902 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 1: week ago it was by ten points over anyone else. 903 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: But that has a lot to do with the nature 904 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 1: of their offense, like if he's flinging it downfield and 905 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 1: has that completion too much too much? Do you know? 906 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 1: I was just pointing out when the when the stats 907 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 1: are there for me, how can I not bring them up? 908 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,240 Speaker 1: But if the stats were not for you, you wouldn't 909 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 1: have brought him up at all. I guess is money, 910 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: but I mean, they're just so aggressively for me, sad. 911 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put that Jones out low either, but but 912 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't been great. He's a twenty eight ahead of 913 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: only Baker Joe Flacco. I don't know Davis Mills in 914 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: in fields. I would have started him a lot higher 915 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 1: and he just kept sinking. For me, I have I 916 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: would have bigger thirty two, actually thirty one justin It's 917 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: hard to not put Flacco getting tax for that final 918 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 1: one in Cleveland. I mean, I think Joe Flacco is 919 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: gonna give you this again, that anomaly game tax that's Ssler. 920 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: It dolls out. I mean, you so you so you 921 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: would you think Joe Flacco, who's it's a week to 922 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 1: week proposition is I think he's although he shouldn't be 923 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: ahead of Baker. I can't. I can't. I can't believe 924 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,399 Speaker 1: he's like fifth in the league and passing on bad 925 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,440 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's playing right now, He's he has almost every 926 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:22,280 Speaker 1: play is is a negative, like something wrong is happening. 927 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 1: And then a couple of they've had a couple of 928 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 1: flukey play the I told you so card because I'm 929 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 1: wrong a lot. But this, this is what I was 930 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: saying in the summer with Biker. Let's see what he 931 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: looks like, put in the environment that a Sam Donald 932 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 1: has been in and see if they're any difference. It's 933 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: just crazy, But yeah, the three weeks have been has 934 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,840 Speaker 1: been at Darnold's level. These three weeks. It's crazy to 935 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: think what Baker Mayfield did as a rookie, because he 936 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 1: looked he I went back to to that year and 937 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 1: he was sitting top five in some of those QB 938 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: and next is because I was doing it. And I think, 939 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 1: by the way, Donald, for what it's worth, is going 940 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,800 Speaker 1: to be ready to return, I think the week after this. 941 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 1: So Baker is gonna and I'm not saying by any 942 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: stretch that's going to solve anything for Carolina. But if 943 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,320 Speaker 1: Baker doesn't play better, you have a head coach and 944 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: Matt Rule, who obviously knows he's on the hot seat. 945 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,399 Speaker 1: And if he doesn't think this quarterback can move the offense, 946 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,319 Speaker 1: he's going to try the other guy. You've got Kirk 947 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 1: Cousins and Jamis thirteen and twenty three. That's the matchup. Well, 948 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,240 Speaker 1: we'll see here live in London and we'll we'll preview 949 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,880 Speaker 1: that show that game tomorrow. But I think it's been 950 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 1: notable how many questions, uh, Dennis Allen is getting from 951 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 1: the media already about whether they're considering replacing James w 952 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: Why are we so up in arms those those rankings 953 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 1: seem exactly right to me, By the way, why are 954 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 1: we so up in arms about Justin Herbert being on 955 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 1: the field. But there's nothing said about the fact that 956 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 1: the Saints are pushing the guy out there with a 957 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: broken back. I think because you could actually see like 958 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,919 Speaker 1: Herbert looked like a wounded deer, Like if I would 959 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,280 Speaker 1: have hit that deer on the highway in two thousand 960 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 1: three and upstate New York. That's how he looked. He 961 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:03,280 Speaker 1: looked like a man in danger. Where Winston has played poorly, 962 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: but by the way, I know everyone is now connecting 963 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:09,320 Speaker 1: it to the reported back injury and the fractures, like 964 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: this isn't so out of the ordinary, and his career 965 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 1: arc I know it's not out of the ordinary. From 966 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: his Saints time, as limited as it's been, He's gone 967 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 1: through terrible funks in his career where he lacks in 968 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,520 Speaker 1: accuracy and his poor decision making. He's been doing that 969 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. It's so we could say it's 970 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 1: a he's an injured quarterback, why is he on the field, 971 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 1: or maybe he's just Jamis Winston doesn't seem to have 972 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 1: that juice on his throws. Arm strength has never been 973 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: an issue, and I think he made a lot of throws, 974 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,440 Speaker 1: and I think he had a lot of good throws 975 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: against the Panthers. He just made a lot of bad ones. Too, 976 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: anything else? Good job, Mark, good he staid your ground. 977 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 1: That was also wrote this um nightmare. It was one 978 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: of the weirdest two days, like you went through the 979 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,479 Speaker 1: same thing with power because it was an odd time. 980 00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 1: It's not writing. It's not the first thing I would do, 981 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 1: and I can barely keep stay awake now. I'd rather 982 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 1: we are fading away watching like some sort of we 983 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 1: we have.
