00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: a lot and it's a natural thing when you come

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: to multiple time zones away. But I s I am

15
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: feeling it. I'm feeling strange, I'm feeling bizarre. That could

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: be a good thing. Yeah, that's when we get our

17
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: best Sessler. I'm looking forward to this right um. So

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,600

22
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: we're having fun. We're here in London. We're gonna make

23
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: it count. We are doing a Friday Fun Show from

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: somewhere in this fair city at a pub to be

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: named later, and then of course our Thursday preview show

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: previewing everything in week four and then the flagship program

27
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: after we head to the Hot Toddy. Correct some call

28
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: it the Big Tot. I know that's an issue that

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: some people wrestle with it. What is it as the

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: Big Tot is the Hot Toddy. We came up with

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: Big Todd a couple of years ago and got quite

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: a bit of feedback about I think Hot Toddy stuck,

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: it's taken over. It has. But at the same time,

34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: like you know how um Dion Sanders when he broke

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: it was Neon Dion and then it was prime time.

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: I think Hot Todd he's like the Neon Dion and

37
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: the Big Tot is gonna be prime time when things

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: when the dust settled on this, I don't predict that's

39
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: how it's gonna play out, but um I'm with you

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: on the on routing for that. So yes, you got

41
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: that Thursday show, Friday Fun Show live from a pub

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: and then Sunday, yes, Viking Saints um at Tottenham Hotspur

43
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Stadium will be there, and then the flagship show. Then

44
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: back on a plane and then that's when great Mark

45
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: I think the bodies shut down and uh, there's just

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: nothing left by the time we get back to the States.

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: But we don't have to think about that right now.

48
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: We've given ourselves to the sport um and to London.

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: And you know we have family scenarios back in the States. Well,

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: tough luck for them. I do like the idea of

51
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 1: um you and I not making it. And then there's

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: a giant statue of us outside um SO Stadium, like

53
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: in a like, just like posing. That's another thing that

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: won't happen. Completely exhausted, because we are warriors for this

55
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: company of the Shield, I think the company would forget

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: about us in roughly a fortnite. You're probably right, all right,

57
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: let's get to it all, starting with closing the door

58
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: on Monday night football. And yes, raise your hand if

59
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: you were watching this damn game at four thirty in

60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: the morning in your hotel room, Daddy was hit it.

61
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Graver pill stutter step moved by Parsons Jones fires in

62
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: a pass, he's intercepted by Diggs. He goes down to

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys Tick wrapped it all and they have wrapped

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: it up Trayvon Diggs. Yeah, nobody's allowed more receiving yards.

65
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: But the man is a playmaker and he gets his

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: hands under that ball. Really nice play it clinch four

67
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys over the New York Giants on Monday

68
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Night Football at the meadow Lands. Good energy at that

69
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: in this game. Sometimes these NFC East games, Um, especially,

70
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about a lot of this podcast

71
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: is like how many times do we have to watch

72
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Giants? And I get that, But at

73
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: the same time, this was a game that was thirteen

74
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: thirteen in the second half, the Giants went ahead and

75
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: then the Cowboys showed some gumption here. Uh, Greg Rosenthal

76
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: and I thought, now two starts in, um, there's no

77
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: mistaking and Cooper Rush has been really good for them. Uh,

78
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: this this season could have gone gone off the rails.

79
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: And I thought, especially in that those three possessions in

80
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: the second half that all produced points where the Cowboys

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: were able to take control of this game. Like that's

82
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the importance of having a competent backup quarterback because by

83
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: the time that comes back, they're gonna be an okay

84
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: position now because they've been able to bank these wins. Yeah,

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: I thought he got maybe a little too much credit

86
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: in the win over the Bengals last night. His numbers

87
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: could have been even better if they had made some

88
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: plays for him. Not just that seedee Lamb drop that

89
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: would have been u either a long touchdown or a

90
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: long game, but a couple other nice throws that they

91
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: didn't come down. He played a virtual perfect game. Uh,

92
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: And I thought Lamb taking over in that drive that

93
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: ended up I believe taking the lead, not not tying

94
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: the game, like was the difference having one guy just

95
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: step up. You remember there was a fourth down and

96
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: they decided to go for it. I thought Kellen Moore

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: had a great game calling plays. They went for it,

98
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: and I think it was a fourth and medium, fourth

99
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: and fourth. Lamb makes a great catch to convert it

100
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: in tight coverage. He was fourth and fourth the Giants

101
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: right guarded by a Dori Jackson well all night. Then

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: the very next play he goes for a big game

103
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: where he runs over defender, makes a guy miss, gets

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: to the one, and then the next play after that,

105
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: he catches a one handed touchdown where the other hand

106
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: is pushing Jackson off. They could have called that, they didn't,

107
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: but either way, it was like an amazingly athletic play

108
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: and kind of Seedee Lamb having a I'm the real

109
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: number eighty eight moments. You know, this is why they

110
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: de Bryant's in the house, like I am, I am

111
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: living up to the mark. And I thought that was

112
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: the other takeaway from me, at least on the offensive

113
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: side of the ball, was Ceedee, Lamb needs to be

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: that dude for this team, and he hasn't always been

115
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: that dude. Not that he's been a bust by any stretch,

116
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: but he has not always been that dude. And yet

117
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 1: in this game and money time, so many big plays

118
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: for Lamb. Well, and you know, Lamb after he dropped

119
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: that what would be touchdown, Uh, he went to the

120
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: sideline and you know the story after he was like

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: psychologically really messed up by it and teammates had to

122
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: kind of get him back in his focus and to

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: come out and finished the game the way he did

124
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: was excellent for the Cowboys. The other thing I loved

125
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: about their offense because when you think about Cowboys Giants

126
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: going way back, and you're right. Then I thought this game,

127
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: I've long been annoyed by the idea that the Cowboys

128
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: and Giants would be just thrust on prime time. They

129
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: get ratings, it's like the four highest rand games. They

130
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: just don't They don't deserve it half the time. But

131
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: this time, I thought this played like an old school

132
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: NFC East showdown. And when they had Jason pete Is

133
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: in there for stretches at left guard and they were

134
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: just having Ezekiel Elliott and totally powdered like pound off

135
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: the left side. That is the kind of football that

136
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: I love to watch. And I thought that that was

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: a great approach for Dallas, and I thought, like, we

138
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: have done more if that if Cooper Rush had not

139
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: up and play anyway it was, but they've trusted him

140
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: in two games to do everything at He's thrown sixty

141
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: three passes with so far in two games, and Mike

142
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy just has let him roll with it. And this

143
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: has been a great stretch for the Cowboys in this sense.

144
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: And I can't believe there are people suggesting that Cooper

145
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Rush should keep the job. That's just what happens Um,

146
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, human beans. I'm not saying anyone in this

147
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: human beings. This is the Cowboys, it's the brand, it's

148
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: the way they're covered in our league. By the football

149
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: You would respect is Greg but like some people, it's

150
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: out there by the football. Cog sent the justin. Don't

151
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: take out the pregnant pause like you did the other

152
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: show that is supposed to be here. That's you know,

153
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: that's rude, Dan, you know that should be behind clothes.

154
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Anyone who watched the Friday Fund Show lie gets it.

155
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: It's like an incentive to drive people to YouTube. Um

156
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: that that's not a real story. That's for Skip Bayless

157
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: and Shannon Sharp to scream at each other about on

158
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: Tuesday mornings. Dac is obviously going to have this job

159
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: when he gets back, but they have somebody that they

160
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: can trust behind him. On the other side of it,

161
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: the Giants, who, um, I don't know, I don't know

162
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: what's going on with the uh and they're it's so

163
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: weird watching them on offense that again, I don't know.

164
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Again up at four thirty watching this game. Um, Daniel

165
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: Jones was pressured twenty three times tonight last night, Yet today,

166
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: when was it I don't know. According to ESPN, the

167
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: most by a Giants QB since they began tracking pressures

168
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: in two thousand nine, the most for any quarterback in

169
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: the game. It was also sacked five times um and

170
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: just beaten thrown to the turf. He's a tough dude,

171
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But this isn't gonna last

172
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: much longer. He's going to get injured. And I just

173
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: think that to Marcus Lawrence at three and a half

174
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: sacks um um. I just think the Giants watching them

175
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: on offense and Jones plays his role in this. It's

176
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: so frenetic and kind of anxiety inducing for me because

177
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: there's very little plays that just kind of play out

178
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: in a standard way. It's usually Jones running for his life, scrambling.

179
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: Is he gonna run? Is he gonna throw? Oh, he's

180
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: heading towards the sideline. Okay, now the balls out, or

181
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: he's getting pushed out of bounds in a violent way.

182
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: It's just kind of a tough watch and it's I

183
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's boarding. So I don't mind watching the

184
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: Giants offens, but Jones and the beating he's taking, it's

185
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: just not a workable situation. I think you've got Evan

186
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: Neil got worked over last night bat three weeks right heat,

187
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: so that the lion is the core issue. But then

188
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: on top of it, you lose Sterling Shepard, who is

189
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: coming off an achilles injury and he's gone with the

190
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: knee wan deal. Robinson's not playing ka Darius Tony is

191
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: not playing. Kenny Golladay is a an apparition at this

192
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: point who had a terrible drop in this game. I mean,

193
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: so you've got nothing around other than se Kwon j

194
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley, who looks fantastic. But it leaves Jones sort

195
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: of stranded on an island where his best operation, his

196
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: best moves are when he takes off and runs, and

197
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: it's just not a functional offense. But I do think

198
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones, like the numbers don't look like it.

199
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: He played pretty well and he continues to do good things,

200
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: but there's just there's just he's in a non functional

201
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: I think. I don't think it's his fault, but his

202
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: numbers are way worse this year than than any other

203
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: year of his career. Lowest QBR by far, lowest yards

204
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: per attempt by far, Isn't that just the result though,

205
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: of what's going on around I just I totally agree

206
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: with your the way you put it. And he also

207
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: ran for seventy nine yeards. I think for the most

208
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: part he's doing the best he can. But I think

209
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: it it's sort of illuminates a difference between what Brian

210
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: Dable is doing and what Mike McDaniel is doing. And

211
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: I know the personnel is totally different, like I know it,

212
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: but Dabel is doing a good job coaching around his

213
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: offensive line and trying to help Daniel Jones out and

214
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: trying to coach around the lack of talent. Uh. Whereas

215
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel and his system Kyle Shanni and system that

216
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: McDaniel might be the best at running it improves the

217
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: offensive line, coaches up the offensive line, doesn't coach around it.

218
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: We heard a lot this offseason about the Giants really

219
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: improved their offensive line personnel, it is not worked out.

220
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: Whereas Mike McDaniel took what Miami had and his system

221
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: is just so good that it makes the offensive line

222
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: look much better and it helps the quarterback out. And yeah,

223
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: you need something more out of a top you know,

224
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: eight pick, like like Evan Neil see it in New

225
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: York with both New York teams. You see it um

226
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati. What's going on there? You can name five

227
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: other teams where the offensive line we heard about it

228
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: all summer was better, and now you see the season

229
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: start and it's like, no, things are not better. You

230
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: mentioned Sterling Sharp Shepherd um mark that it's a bummer

231
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: because he's like a really good guy everybody likes. And

232
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: you could see it when he was on the cart

233
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: and everybody was tapping him up um minutes before that

234
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: play happened. He made a catch and I thought to myself, Oh,

235
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: that's cool, Like he's part of this offense. He has

236
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: a role. He's a guy that he's been kind of

237
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: an a t N favorite over the years, but could

238
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: never stay healthy. And maybe the sear he stays healthy

239
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: and then kind of running at half speed, it looks

240
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: like his knee just explodes in a non contact injury.

241
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: And it's like one of those type of injuries. Right.

242
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: You look at his age and his history and it

243
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: was not the last time we saw we see Sterling Shepherd.

244
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: You hope that's not the case, but it just seems

245
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: like his body refuses UH to cooperate with him, So

246
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: that was very disappointed, and he was only he's only

247
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: on this roster, probably because of guaranteed money. They have

248
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: the highest paid wide receiver room in the entire NFL,

249
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: the Giants, and they're not playing Galada and now they're

250
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: gonna they're not playing either, though they gave Slayton some

251
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: money at some point they gave Shepherd some money like

252
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: some of the lower thirds. You know, when they put

253
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: all the skill position players out. I love how ESPN

254
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: does that on amost every snap. We're just like, what

255
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: is going on here? One of the groups was Hudson, Brita, Sills, James,

256
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: and Shepherd that that's their skill position. Where on the

257
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: other shot side one of the skill position groups during

258
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: the day and I was like, wait, this is the

259
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys was Hendershot, Ferguson and McKeon. That sounds like a

260
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: law firm, Like what is going on henders Like hender

261
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: Shot is shown up with some big shot. Hendershot started

262
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: uh post game like fracas, apparently because he was talking

263
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: trash to the Giants. Hendershot like that. Joe Buck was

264
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: not about that. He's like Joe Buck just wanted to

265
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: go home, and there appears to be some type of issue,

266
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: but thankfully well and the opponent in the fracas was

267
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: like confused, but he's like, well, it's just some rookie

268
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: tight end guy. I don't know what he was doing.

269
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: Why is he talking? Smacked us? Part of it is

270
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: they were playing the Cowboys defense too, who's given up

271
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in three weeks, tying uh their all time

272
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: record here for the best. Did you hear Troy aikman

273
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: um push back on the Micah Parsons Lawrence Taylor camp.

274
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: He's like, I get it. I see what people are saying.

275
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: That's a very Troy like I played with Lawrence Taylor.

276
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: He's like, we're not there yet. With Micah Parsons. Thank you, Troy,

277
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: my friend. And he was very sick. He miss practice.

278
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: All he did get a couple of quarterback kids. They moved,

279
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: they played moving around again. By the way, that was

280
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: another you know the talk about oh, let's just turn

281
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: them loose from the edge, but apparently that is not

282
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: the place. He's not the only guy. That's the thing.

283
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: Or Armstrong had a good you know, Lawrence had a

284
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: good game. We're getting we're getting we're like in a

285
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: zombie fugus. We've been talking thirty minutes about this game.

286
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: Now we've only been talking like eight minutes. It's been

287
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: a totally normal question. This this statue that would be

288
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: outside of SOFI when we perish? What are we? What

289
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: our bodies doing in the statue? Why would they make

290
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: the statue because we're because we're revered. We died. We

291
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: died in an effort to raise the league the plane

292
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: like like what happened? How did you know? You just

293
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: want a hard Just so think of it this way.

294
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: Jet Laggon did a podcast, Yeah, this is why you

295
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: would not be the one sort of maybe a bunch

296
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: of pills and went to sleep, and you know he

297
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: acts like everybody else has to be on the same page.

298
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: We're all natural, Greg, and you know we've been we've

299
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: been grinding. And the statue would be Mark and I

300
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: in a heroic way like holding onto each other, like

301
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: holding each other up by baggage climb, baggage claim back

302
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: in l a X like lifting and then that's where

303
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: we we fade away as we're trying to lift our

304
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: bags off the belt. And then that's what the statue is.

305
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: Another option would be um Dan trying to but I

306
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: don't know if it's he succeeded or not, but trying

307
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: to get some sleep, all snuggled up in business class,

308
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: you know when I went to and then I look

309
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: over to the site marked and marked and lay out

310
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: the bed. Almost everyone laid out the bed. No so

311
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: on you know, not to get in the weeds. But

312
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: like the there's a button apparently that you pressed so

313
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: that the these two items turned into a bed. And

314
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: I was actually like trying to get some work done inside.

315
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: Was not tired. I can't sleep in general. And at

316
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: one point it's stewardess and older women commercials, would you

317
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: like me to come over and make your bed funerals?

318
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: Like that's too embarrassing. I can't have this woman do

319
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: this for me. So I just said I'm going no

320
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: bed all night long. Did you guys notice or were

321
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: you too far up in the business class section when

322
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: somebody tried to hit a vape in the bathroom right

323
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: in front of Jessica and I my seats, and the

324
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: smoke alarm went off, lights flashing like sirens blaring in

325
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the flight, in the middle of the night.

326
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: I woke up and thought the plane was going down.

327
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: They keep all that riff right, the sound proofdling. I

328
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: can't believe you wait until now to tell us that

329
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: that's scary. It was crazy. The most horrifying thing I've

330
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: ever heard what happened to the to the vapor. So

331
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: he stood outside the bath the when these two flight

332
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: attendants came over, a man and woman. They were like,

333
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: were you smoking in the bathroom? And he's like, uh,

334
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: are you smoking in the loop. He's like no, no, no,

335
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: and they're like, we need you to tell us right

336
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: now the smoke alarms going off. I can smell it

337
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: on your breath, and like it was crazy. And the

338
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: flight attendant was like the captain will make a decision.

339
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: He seemed to like go off, like, I mean, we're

340
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: we're miles over the Atlantic Ocean, so what's the decision.

341
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: Apparently there's like two thousand dollar fine or something. No.

342
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: I know someone that happened to Uh. I do a

343
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: podcast with him that he was detained coming off the

344
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: plane because of that. At one Why would why would

345
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: anyone do that? Why would you do that? St Yeah,

346
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: I speaking at detained. We almost got detained when we

347
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: when we landed. Well, before we get to that, I

348
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: just want to button up what happened again? And uh

349
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: in coach with the graver. Um graver also dumped a

350
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: full glass of wine on Jessica's lap, and this poor

351
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: girl um to walk all the way to the bathroom

352
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: with a soaking lap with people, you know, whispering potentially.

353
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, that poor girl. What happened? She must have

354
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: an issue right um? And then she had nothing to

355
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: change into, so she had to put on her boyfriend's jeans.

356
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: And that's how she arrived in London. The chic woman

357
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: get one of the more fashion conscious places in the

358
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: world here in London, and she's wearing men's wranglers. Yeah,

359
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: in a large green sweacha. Yeah, I want to see

360
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: if I could sneak wranglers pass there, but little b

361
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: r some br jeans. Yeah, that was an unfortunate situation

362
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: that I regret a lot. But you guys seem to

363
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: have amended fences since from what we've witnessed. Yes, she

364
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: wasn't too mad, thankfully. But then yeah, we do get

365
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: to them. We get to the airport, we go through,

366
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: we pick up our bags, we have to go through

367
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: customs and Uh, we had gotten a bunch of paperwork

368
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: saying do not go to this well line over here,

369
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: go to this other one. Real people people to the

370
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: to the live show. You know, we're we're, um, you

371
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: know I have to We're coming here for work, so

372
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: we have to do some work visa stuff and um,

373
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: we do as we're told. Yes, And immediately upon handing

374
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: over the paperwork. Um, the employees at the Heathrow Airport

375
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: were extremely offended that we would ever be in this line.

376
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: And then a supervisor woman comes over and she goes,

377
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be here, yeah, holding up the

378
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: entire line Like whoa. We were browbeaten by her. I mean,

379
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: you know this wasn't on purpose, lady, just just stand

380
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: off to the side. And then they stuck it to

381
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: the Yankees and he's They made a sit there for

382
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: twelve minutes waiting. It was a rude awakening, people waiting

383
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: right now for us to talk about football again. I

384
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: think they're liking this. I think they're liking the injustices

385
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: that have been rained down upon. Uh. Do you know

386
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: like the Daniel Steel novels, um like Pete Fabio where

387
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 1: the shirts open and and then maybe the there's a

388
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: a beautiful woman like hanging off him, clinging off his

389
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: ling and cheese, and she's very like a flowy but

390
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: also showy lingerie top or something. That's how I picture

391
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: our statue holding onto me. We're both dying, but I'm

392
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: like trying to keep us alive. And what are you

393
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: dying that? I'm still unclear about our effort effort, effort

394
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: that we've done already on the like they stuff to

395
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: list something on the well, but you don't need to.

396
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: Hard work is like I've ever been listed as a

397
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: cause of death. You're like, oh, what did old fatigue?

398
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: So in the cold town where I grew up, there

399
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: was there was a way to die of hard work,

400
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: and that was you go down to the mine and

401
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: you put in the double shift and you just never

402
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: come up. You go down, you don't come up. And

403
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: I lost a lot of friends dads like that. West

404
00:20:54,600 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: Westchester's most livable town and it's Rockland County and and uh,

405
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, when I think about the coal life, um,

406
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: and then I think about the transition from business class

407
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: to picking up the bags that they can bear a belt. Yeah,

408
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: there are parallels. After the trip to London, staying in

409
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: the luxury hotels. My favorite part of all this is

410
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: like four minutes into the Cowboys Giants Dock, You're like,

411
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: why are we talking about minutes? All right? Uh? To

412
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: your leg by the way, and this this statue that's

413
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: the I don't I don't understand that to pull yourself

414
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: up to my impressive biceps so I can lift you.

415
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: But I have been now ground down, and well we

416
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: haven't talked about this much because we're work family. Now

417
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: the three of us are tied at the hip. Well,

418
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: i'd include Graver in that. When you say the three

419
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: of us that you who are you eliminating? Oh? He doesn't.

420
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the seat that turns into a bed,

421
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: so he's not on the trip in a tangible way.

422
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: Let's face it. We've had a lot of producers over

423
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: the years, but for for you know, you know, I'm

424
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: us three three. It's like I'm just saying, like you

425
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: do you know, like if we were in a regular family,

426
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: were at the age you want to start thinking about

427
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: your will and who's leaving one to who and what's

428
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: going to happen now if this happens, because we should

429
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: get it in paper, if we leave it to our

430
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: respective this does happen, Like you know that RSS feed

431
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: for the podcast. There are a lot of subscribers on this,

432
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: So would would you be okay, like if we still

433
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: use the around the NFL name moving forward in your honor?

434
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: I could guess you'll wait until you'll wait until like

435
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm literally under the ground and in the coffin, and

436
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: then you'll like stomp the dirt to make sure it's

437
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: not loose, and then you'll try to shift it over

438
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: to the j r VP. That football. He's definitely keeping

439
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: this football. I just wanted you to know, like if

440
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: something happens to me and the statue over their dead

441
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: bodies so they can't get up even if they wanted to.

442
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: We're family, all right, Let's pause right here and take

443
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: a break. We'll be right back. All right, here we go,

444
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: Let's get to the news. Taylor. It's a great moment

445

Speaker 1: a groin It's a significant groin injury which may play

460
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: him place him on injured reserve, so it's like minimum

461
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa missing weeks. Potentially Jalen Guiton, who's an important

462
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: piece of their offense wide receiver. He tore his a

463
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: c l on Sunday. He's out for the year. But

464
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: the big one here, bigger than anything, is left tackle

465
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: Shawn Slater, who had a breakout rookie year, guy that's

466
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: seen as a lynch pin for what they're doing. He

467
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: suffered torn biceps UH, was torn bicep tendon UH in

468
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: the loss of the Jaguars. He's going to be out

469
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: for the season and Greggy we already know justin Herbert's

470
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: physical situation, he's not a cent with that rib cartilage issue.

471
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: Now you take away his most important blocker, and it

472
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: just feels, like we talked about it on Sunday, ominous

473
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: vibes around the Charges right now, it keeps getting worse

474
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: right now, It's so depressing. I mean, Slater was a

475
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: second team All Pro as a rookie, so he's the

476
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: second best left tackle in the game. I think the

477
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: real tape heads would have put him right there to

478
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: right behind Trent Williams uh a week a year ago.

479
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: I think there's a strong argument that he's the most valuable,

480
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, non quarterback in the league because of the

481
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: drop off of what it means for the Chargers offense

482
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: to what's next. Storm Norton came in and gave up

483
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: eight pressures in twenty three snaps on Sunday. He's struggled.

484
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: He was kind of the reason, uh that they lost

485
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 1: that Week eighteen game. I believe he struggled. You have

486
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: Trey Pipkins on one cries crushed him, right, Uh, you

487
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: have Trey Pipkins on one side. They might try to

488
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: move him over. They also have a rookie uh Slater.

489
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I forget what his name is this plane

490
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: guard right now that maybe they could try out there,

491
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: But either way, it's such a dramatic fall off from

492
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: one of the very best players in the entire NFL.

493
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: It's just it just kind of crushes their passing game.

494
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: And they're already, at least right now, the worst running

495
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: rushing game in the league, which has been a big

496
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: surprise there thirty second and yards per carry before content

497
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: thirty one and rushing d v o w A, and

498
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: it gets worse without Slater. It does sound like Corey

499
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: Lindsley the center, will be back relatively soon. He was

500
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: questionable for week three, so that helps. Because when they

501
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: didn't have him in there also along with the absence

502
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: of Slater and you had Justin Herbert playing, you know,

503
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 1: with in pain and a little more hesitant and than

504
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: I thought that we've ever really ever seen him. That

505
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: was not a good combination. And it's just like this

506
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: was a team that I thought a f C title

507
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: game type material and now the future is totally cloudy. Yeah,

508
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: the guy's name I was talking about was a rookie

509
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Jamari Sailor, who's a sixth round rookie who's looked okay

510
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: at Garden, played left tackle in college. It's like, we've

511
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: seen what Storm Norton is. It hasn't worked. They also

512
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: have a left guard, Matt Feiler, who played really well

513
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: last year, and it's been like kind of a speed bump.

514
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: So you just mentioned it, Dan, like all these teams

515
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: that the offensive line was supposed to be better and

516
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: now the Chargers is way worse. UH. In other injury news,

517
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has a severe high ankle sprain. UM.

518
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: The belief at this time is that he'll be able

519
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: to avoid void surgery. This happened on the last play

520
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday UH in their loss UH to the Ravens.

521
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: But he's gonna miss time. ESPNS Adam Schefter reports Jones

522
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: is likely to miss multiple games. Uh. We saw how

523
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: much painting was in Mark when the injury occurred. UM.

524
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: This these are something as we know from following this

525
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: this game for a long time. A high ankle sprain

526
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: does not heal overnight. You could easily reaggravate it. Sometimes

527
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: you don't get better until after the season. So now

528
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, not the most fleet of foot guy to

529
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: start with, has a lower body injury that he has

530
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: to work through, and he might not even be on

531
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: the field for multiple weeks. Brian Hoyer the backup right,

532
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: and Brian Hoyer, who has been on the Patriots roughly

533
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: twelve times at this point UM and seems to simply

534
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: be there to be able to use the cafeteria for meals,

535
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: is now thrust into the starting role and so but

536
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: Hoyer at least has some experience. But this offense already limited,

537
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: certainly from a passing game angle. I think you're just

538
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: gonna look at ramondre Stevenson, Damian Harris just being used

539
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: a ton in the run game. I don't know how

540
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: many weeks this will be, but they've got the Packers,

541
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: the Lions, and the Browns up next to me. New

542
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: England already was a fringe team UM struggling for identity

543
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: on this side of the ball, and their further further

544
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: lost right your whole thing last year, Dan, that the

545
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: Patriots are just another team. I think really is hit

546
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: home for me more than ever this year because they

547
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: have that Cam Newton here and it was kind of like, okay,

548
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: Brady just left. Let's see what this is like in

549
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: the world. Then last year, you know, at one point

550
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: they did win eight straight games, and they had a

551
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. They were an interesting team that had a

552
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: very poor finished. I wouldn't say they were just another team.

553
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: Now they truly are like thet game every week that

554
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: we talked about, or they don't get mentioned on certain

555
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: national shows, and this just buries them further. I know

556
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: I might be a homer, but I really took a

557
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: lot of positives out of the Week three game. I

558
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: thought their offense looked quite good. They actually have the

559
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: number one rushing d v o A in the entire

560
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: NFL this season, so that's come along pretty quickly. And

561
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: I thought Mac made a couple of big mistakes, but

562
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: also you know, they were getting big plays and moving

563
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: the ball, and now they're just like, what's what is

564
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: the point of the Patriots right now? They are in

565
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. I agree with you, but and

566
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: that was the thing with their their offense. It's it's better,

567
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: it is improving as we as the season uh begins

568
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: to take shape. But Mac Jones can't throw three interceptions

569
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: and some of them were very bad because they don't

570
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: have enough fire power, especially against a team like Baltimore,

571
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: which is why the Lock brothers said we have to

572
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: lock that game up. Well, there was you know, we

573
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: just operate in in deep worlds of logic and that's

574
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: all we did there, justin you're just another team when

575
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: you're ten and a half point underdogs this week. I

576
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: can't remember the Patriots being underdogs by that much in

577
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, And I did get I had the

578
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: same thought like when I was watching this game, because

579
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: it's at Foxborough and it wasn't by any stretch of

580
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: a game that was high on the radar national And

581
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: it's just like I did cross my mind. That building

582
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: has seen so many of the biggest spotlight games of

583
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, and it feels different there now,

584
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: and you know it is. It's not the worst thing.

585
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: You gotta spread the wealth. That was part of the

586
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: reason why me and so many other NFL fms were

587
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: so sick of the Patriots. After a while, other fan

588
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: bases should get to experience glory Pats fans hanging there.

589
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: I'd assume those season ticket holders will continue to fill

590
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: that building without any issue. Now that they're going through

591
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: hard times. They're that loyal of a fan base. Greg,

592
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: whoa you You're not gonna suddenly find something else to

593
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: do on Sunday. I've been burying their crowd for years

594
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: as uh, spoiled just in terms of they don't make

595
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot of noise. It's not allowed crowd and people

596
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: are like, oh, it's cold, you can't like clap that

597
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: much in the in the cold. It's like they figure

598
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: it out in Buffalo. So you're right, it'll be a

599
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: big testy. They're spoiled, all right, Another big test Tampa.

600
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing for a huge Sunday

601
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: night game against the Chiefs. Um and guess what they

602
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: have to deal with? Weather stuff. Hurricane Ian set to

603
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: move over Florida's west coast Wednesday into Thursday, so the

604
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: Bucks are temporarily relocating to South Florida. The team announced

605
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: Monday evening. Um they leave on Tuesday, spend a week

606
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: practicing at the Dolphins training complex in Miami Gardens Gardens

607
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: through the end of the week if necessary, and it's

608
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: also in play that they might have to move the

609
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: game itself. Um So Mark that is for a Bucks

610
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: team that's just trying to grind through things right now,

611
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: missing so many players on the field. This is just

612
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: another layer of challenge, and we hope everyone in South

613
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: Florida is safe and Hurricane Ian doesn't do anything right.

614
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: Not the time they were, um hoping for a naughty

615
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: little rainstorm to interrupt their scheduling. I do wonder how

616
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: many times NFL network producers will turn this into a

617
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: m something based around Rapidport when he shows up. We

618
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: can they watch when it's like threatening human life. Little

619
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: rainstorm is a little bit Yeah, I don't think I'll

620
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: do it. It's a little bit Mark easy, dude, because

621
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: we don't know. We don't know yet. Hopefully here goes

622
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: to this. This is how this plays out. I make

623
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: my comment and then Greg comes in and absolutely very

624
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: very nice, even handed. We care about the people. I

625
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: care about the people too. I don't want I just

626
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: leaving yoursel of open. This was because right into this

627
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: as a former resident guys of New Orleans who had hurricanes, Um,

628
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: it's scary time. It's a scary time. Hopefully it just

629
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't hit as bad as some of the uh

630
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: most aggressive forecasts have for it. Because if it does,

631
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: then the game will be on Sunday. I would like

632
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: to see it. How about this? Can I correct one?

633
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: I would like to see it. You know, sometimes it

634
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: takes all the attention we think it's gonna hit land

635
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: and cause chaos. How about just ebb back out to

636
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: see and just affect the fish we're looking for. Yeah, yeah,

637
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: that's what I'm hoping will happen. Well, what we want

638
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: is for it to be a quote, naughty little rainstorm

639
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: but over the sea. Well, well, Mark is like a

640
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: bunch of little bits of like, hey, hurricane Ian like

641
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: break in the world with his breaking news a walk away.

642
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: The same thing occurred to me yesterday when I saw

643
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: this Mark. But okay, so just at least you know

644
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: that we're cover from that standpoint because the NFL and

645
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: and sports guys who think hurricanes named after people is

646
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: a funny thing by its nature, which I've never been into.

647
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: But like I could see it happening with Ian, They're

648
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: not gonna do it because they don't want to potentially

649
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: look insensitive. I understand that now. Anyway, in all seriousness,

650
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: I hope everyone is gonna be safe in South Florida,

651
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: and this thing does just affect the whales, all right,

652
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: and other new North you'll get something North Florida because

653
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: they're going to South Florida right to escape it, right,

654
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: thank you. Other injuries, Myles Garrett was in a scary

655
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: car accident um near the Brown's practice facility. His Porsche

656
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: flipped multiple times. He was transported to the hospital non threatening,

657
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: non life threatening injuries. But we don't have a lot

658
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: more other than that right now, uh do we? Well,

659
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: they did just report that that he was avoiding an

660
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: animal on a wet road and overcorrected, according to Tom Pellisera.

661
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: But more tests are being done. So that was reported

662
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: as we were taping here. That's a sleepy little area

663
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: out there. I wonder what what was going on here? Yeah,

664
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's but that's we don't this kind of

665
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: he got. He left the hospital the same day, which

666
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: is good. But we don't know anything else. So we'll

667
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: see if Myles Garrett plays this weekend or soon. But

668
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay. I covered the Little League Regional

669
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: World Series Regional semifinals in Bingham to New York in

670
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: two thousand three, and um funnily enough, um Ian Rapport

671
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: was covering the Westchester teams up there. I was covering

672
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: the Rockland teams and it was a big deal for me.

673
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: I was I was going on a road trip, I

674
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 1: was staying in a hotel. I was covering this event.

675
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 1: It was you filing these you know, gamers and everything

676
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: over the phone. It was a pretty big deal for

677
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: a twenty three year old at the time. And I

678
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 1: finished it after the West Nyak Little League team made

679
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: it to like the I think maybe the semifinal round,

680
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: and then was defeated filed. The story was Sunday night,

681
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: probably like midnight. I get in the car and Binghamton too,

682
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: um where I lived at the time in Pearl River,

683
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: was I don't know, five hours away and uh so

684
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm driving through the middle of the night in this

685
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: rental car and I'll never forget. And this is kind

686
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: of before cell phones, or maybe I had a cell

687
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: phone but probably didn't have any reception. The darkest, scariest

688
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: highway in the middle of the night in upstate New

689
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: York at eighty miles per hour, cutting through the darkness,

690
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: and then I seen the headlights and it was too

691
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: late to move. A deer, stupid, such a stupid deer

692
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: just standing in the left lane staring at me, and

693
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: I missed it by six inches. And I always think

694
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: to myself, that could have been it. If I was

695
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: in the other lane, that could have been a rap

696
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: for the deer as well. But that's where we get

697
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: that's where the deer and headlights term comes from, Danton,

698
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: that exact situation that you encountered. But isn't that amazing

699
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: that they still exist? That didn't that happen to you

700
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: guys a lot growing up? Maybe maybe maybe Western Masses

701
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: just a little more. Uh, it was more big everyone.

702
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: Everybody someone, your friend's father who a car collided with

703
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: a deer. My my sister in Lodge just hit a

704
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: deer recently. Uh, you know it happened. Your story is special,

705
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: like it is a special now. It is scary, but

706
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: I still think about that deer's eyes move, move, deer.

707
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: And we don't know if myld Garrett, Miles Garrett came

708
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: in contact with a deer, but there was a passenger

709
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: in the car, so you know, we hope they're both

710
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: faring well all right, So we'll we'll stay on top

711
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: of that story and see if it affects his availability.

712
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: Forty niners coming off frustrating loss on Sunday Night Football.

713
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: Also are dealing with Trent Williams out of the the lineup.

714
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: He has a high ankle brand again there it is

715
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: the dreaded high ankle sprain H. So we'll see if

716
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: that causes him to be missing games or compromised in

717
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: any way. It could be both. And DeAndre Swift, UH,

718
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: the star running back of the lines, he could miss

719
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: two weeks. What is he dealing with? He has an ankle? Yeah,

720
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: it's the thing is he It's an ankle and I

721
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: think yeah, I don't either way. Campbell essentially said, I

722
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: think it would be good for him UH to rest

723
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: up a couple of weeks and come back after the bite,

724
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: which is usually a sign like we've made that decision

725
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna say exactly. And the Swift situation

726
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: is that that's kind of part of the deal here

727
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Swift that he is. He struggles to stay healthy.

728
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: He's a dynamic player, but they kind of have to

729
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: manage him. So Jamal Williams, who stepped up and did

730
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: some good things on UH and on Sunday UM, he

731
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: will play the guitar. There's more injuries right now. Well,

732
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: everyone is devastating. They also lost Tracy Walker, who's a

733
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: team captain at safety for the season to an achilles.

734
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: It's like every team is destroyed. Could be out a

735
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: week or so. You could argue that he's been out

736
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: m HM in that offense. And finally in the news,

737
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. I feel like we've done this story

738
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: a hundred times, but now it's official. The Pro Bowl Games.

739
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: That's that's the name of it now, the Pro Bowl Games,

740
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: not the Pro Bowl Games. The Pro Bowl Games will

741
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: reimagine the NFL's All Star contest as a series of

742
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: different events, a f C versus NFC Flag football that

743
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: will happen on February five in Las Vegas. Peyton Manning

744
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: is among with coaching staff for an a f C

745
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: versus NFC flag football game, a week long skills competition

746
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: UH before the game, and fan of fan events and

747
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: quote major musical performance that that's got train written all

748
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: over it. Um anyway, so it was time. It was

749
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: time years ago and in the NFL, in its infinite wisdom,

750
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: has pulled the trigger on dumping the game. UM. I

751
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,439
Speaker 1: know we've talked about mark that kids like the game.

752
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: UM I know your sons have dug into it a

753
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: little bit or maybe kids. Um. I watched it once

754
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: in the nineties and it was fine, but not a

755
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: lot of people are into it. The players run into it,

756
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: and you understand they're just protecting themselves, as they should.

757
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: So let's give this another chance in a different way.

758
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: Flag actually sounds like it'd be pretty watchable. I would

759
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: watch a a f C versus NFC flag football game.

760
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: Nobody was playing defense anyway, so right, yeah, I mean

761
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: it was you know, they're trying to make like flag

762
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: is a growing part of like football culture, not just

763
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, uh in this game of course, but as

764
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: we'll play flag football. These guys can't hit anymore, like

765
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: like the like the flag leagues that the NFL runs,

766
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: and there's other ones are pretty intense like the like

767
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: and are the x NFL players we work with often

768
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: have their sons in those early flag then they move

769
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: on to the tackle leagues. Pretty they take it very

770
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: serious and it's intense. I took Coulton to uh, he

771
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: chose not to not to do this, but we he

772
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: We went to a combine, a flag football combine, and

773
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: there were like six stations where it was like, you're

774
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: doing everything they do at a combine, and I thought

775
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: this will be a nice way to get into the sport.

776
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: And we went there and it was so hyper intense,

777
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: like southern California. I think he was like, I ain't

778
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: into this right now. Yeah, and Walker is doing flag

779
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: right now, and uh it is a little intense, like

780
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: you gotta have your unit. Like someone cut their uniform

781
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: and got chewed out by the coach for like cutting

782
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: their uniform. This is the seven warner essentially, Um, I

783
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: have a missive. I want to read this from Peter O'Reilly,

784
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: NFL e v P of Club Business and League Events.

785
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: We've received invaluable feedback from players, teams, and fans about

786
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: reimagining the Pro Bowl, and as a result, we're thrilled

787
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: to use the Pro Bowl games as a platform to

788
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: spotlight flag football as an integral part of the sports future,

789
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: while also introducing fun new forms of competition and entertainment.

790
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 1: That's probably trained editorial note that will bring our players,

791
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: their families and fans closer than ever before. Yeah, integral

792
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: part of the sports future. Flag football. Watch out soccer,

793
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm watching kids soccer every weekend now not quite

794
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: into it um not my favorite thing to watch. Um

795
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: if Jack and Harry were like, I want to play

796
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: flag football is like, that's roll. Peyton Manning is going

797
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: to play an active role in the coaching, and his

798
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: Omaha Productions is playing an integral role in bringing the

799
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: pro games for like, I feel like Omaha Productions is

800
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: everywhere like leave leave some for the rest of us there.

801
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: Omaha has a new program connected to Omaha Production to

802
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: keep coaching. If if his production company wasn't Umbrella Operation,

803
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: it's working, it's working. That's what's happening in the news.

804
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: One more break and then we'll finish up the show. Alright,

805
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: let's hit it Thursday Night preview. We closed the door

806
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: on week three. We opened the door on week four

807
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: with another great matchup that I promise you will lead

808
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: to Mark laying in a hotel room watching. At four

809
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: in the morning, the Miami Dolphins travel to Cincinnati to

810
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: face the Bengals there. I feel like it's a rite

811
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: of passage on the Thursday night football schedule to have

812
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: a home game in Cincinnati, uh in September or early October.

813
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: But it hits a little different when you're the defending

814
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: conference champions. And it hits even harder Greggy when the

815
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins are coming to town three and oh in the

816
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,479
Speaker 1: talk of the league after their upset of the Bills,

817
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: and yet they're three and a half point underdogs, which

818
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: highly disrespectful Dolphins fans are are noting the lack of

819
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: national analysts picking them. It's fuelling them. It's fueling their bills.

820
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: We talked about on Sunday, but the Bills are in

821
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: fifty one more plays than them. That was so crath

822
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: you know. I finally got a chance to watch that,

823
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: and it just felt like sort of a a unique game.

824
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: I did not think, to a tongue of Volota played

825
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: poorly at all. In fact, I think he played quite well.

826
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: Like that that throw he made to waddle down the field,

827
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: to me is proving why he's not Jimmy Garoppolo. And

828
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: I and I and I bring up that name just

829
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: because it's the same system. And even coming into the draft,

830
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: some people compared to it to a Jimmy Garoppolo of like,

831
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: what he does well what he doesn't. Can he be

832
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: a system quarterback? I've seen a little more playmaking from

833
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: two of this year. The play that he got hurt

834
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: on where he got concussed. Was that back injury? Right? Um?

835
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: That like that was a play that was he made

836
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: a nice play on that, Like Jimmy Garoppolo is not

837
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: making that play that the some of the deep shots,

838
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't think Jimmy Garoppol is making that play. And

839
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: yet there are other plays in this offense when he

840
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: hits the back of his drop and he hits that

841
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: crosser where it looks exactly like the forty nine ers

842
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: and what Mike McDaniel was doing there. But everything just

843
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: like makes a lot of sense. And they're really going

844
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: to test the Bengals defense, who's played great this year

845
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: but has also played three pretty lackluster offenses in a row.

846
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: And this is a much bigger test for for their

847
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: veteran group. I mean, on throws of twenty plus yards,

848
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: two is nine of thirteen for three and three yards

849
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: with three touchdowns. I think against the Ravens, he was

850
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: asked to answer the call over and over and he

851
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: kept doing it. And last week he was has to

852
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: make that one big throw and he did it. And

853
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 1: he's just so good at like when they when he's

854
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: holding the ball at the mesh point and pulling it

855
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: back and then making the quick throws. First of all,

856
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: he can throw different passes than right handers can. Not

857
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: like it's better or worse, but it's different. He's so

858
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: good at doing that so quickly, Like that's a real skill.

859
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: He's one of the best in the league at doing

860
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: He's to his benefit this offense with this new offensive

861
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: coordinator or head coach, that it plays to his strength.

862
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: It's not a it's not a justin Herbert offense where

863
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: you're dropping back back and throwing eight yard rainbow strikes.

864
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: It's get the ball to these guys and let them

865
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: do their business. Which is not to say he's throwing

866
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: at three yards of the line of scrimmage. Like that's

867
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: a perfect example. The Wattle play that was a that

868
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: was a strike down the middle that he took nearly

869
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: to the house. That really changed that game. And by

870
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: the way, the NFL p A is initiating an investigation

871
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 1: into the handling of to his concussion evaluation during Sunday's game.

872
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: To A said after the game that that the footage

873
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: where he's like like wiggling around and it was looking

874
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: disturbing and it looked concussionist concussion, Like uh, was a

875
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: back injury that he basically had spasms essentially that it

876
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: acted up. So I I would take him at his word,

877
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: but I wonder if he's fully healthy. Jail and Waddle

878
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: as a groin injury, didn't practice watch that and think

879
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: that that looks like a back issue. I'm to us

880
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: said that's what it was, So I'm not diagnosed because

881
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 1: they're trying not to get popeye the league for evading

882
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: the concussion program. We'll let that play out. I'm just

883
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: telling you what the player said. But like Tehran Armstead

884
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: is hurt, Ivian Howard is banged up there there. I

885
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: think the reason the spread is the way it is

886
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: is because there are the laundry list of injuries and

887
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: it's like sixteen seventy players long. Most of them will

888
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: probably play nineties snaps two for the defense, so the

889
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: offense didn't play much on Sunday, they'll be fresh. But

890
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: I always do keep an eye on that on a

891
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: Thursday night game, that there are four or five best

892
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: defensive acts, especially played about nineties snaps, which is an

893
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: outrageously high number, and some of the defensive lineman played seventy.

894
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: But one of the reasons they're they're good Danny Is.

895
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: Their defense is pretty deep. They like that Trey Flowers signing.

896
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: He's starting to make some plays. Mel Ingram is somehow

897
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: a great signing for like that seventh straight year. I

898
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: don't know why people yeah that, um, that was a

899
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: good one. You've become a reply guy lately. You have

900
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: your massive, hyperbolic tweets and it's just like, why does

901
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: no one sign Melvin him? He just shows up and

902
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: he's been awesome everywhere. It's the same thing in baseball,

903
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: the guys that don't use the batting gloves. It's like, oh,

904
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: he doesn't look quite as dynamic. And I think Melvin

905
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: Gordon or Melvin Ingram is one of those rare guys

906
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't wear any gloves. He's bare handed on both hands,

907
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, oh, he's like a throwback. He

908
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: looks like a nineteen eighties middle line. Hendrickson is another

909
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: one of those guys, Trey Hendrickson who had two and

910
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: a sacks last week for the Bengals and did get paid.

911
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: So it's unfair, but they're like they are deep. This

912
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: is where the Bengals offensive line like very tested in

913
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: Justin Graver not being in business class with us. That's

914
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: not fair. You want to talk about injustices? Justin what

915
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: business class? What? What was that? Yes? Here's something? Did you?

916
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: Were you looking for this? I thought initially you were?

917
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I thought you initially? Well,

918
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: what is happening with what's happening with you? Are you acting?

919
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: You not remember that we were on an airplane together

920
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: roughly hours ago. Oh sorry, I thought you were referring

921
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: to a class a few business Yeah, I'm a little tired. Alright,

922
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: back to the show. Good contributory, Grave Digger. No, I

923
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,439
Speaker 1: actually was put in business class that I was gonna

924
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: say you you actually did something very gallant, which was

925
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: to be sent back so that I could spill wine

926
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: over really you you so I could spill wine and

927
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: another man's wife that that was. That's a bald move.

928
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: That's a bald move. You could have just given her

929
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: the sears kind of. She didn't want to sit apart,

930
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: so she really liked you man. That's good. It's nice

931
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: and a reminder. This TNF preview is presented by Prime Video,

932
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: the new exclusive home for Thursday Night Football. Um, all right,

933
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: where were we go? Ahead? Mark Greg, you were making

934
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: a pin like woz for the bank right now? Yeah,

935
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: I think I don't have any major things. Sad leads

936
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,959
Speaker 1: the NFL in like negative e p a per play.

937
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 1: According to next Gent stats, He's taken like a breakout

938
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: year a year ago and looks even better. And that

939
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: means you look to the other side and who's on

940
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: the other side. Eli Apple and who talked crazy trash

941
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: on Tyreek Hill after the Bengals beat the Chiefs in

942
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship, Eli Apple on Twitter. I

943
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: forgot what he called them. Uh. I think he might

944
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: have called him the B words something something like that.

945
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: But Tyree Hill threw it out there after Sunday night

946
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: that he's he's hunting for Eli. He's hunting for Elis.

947
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna get ahead of this because right now

948
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: it is, I don't know, like the middle of the

949
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: night in Los Angeles. Editors are so the power rankings.

950
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: You're trying to check the sink on these podcast, boss.

951
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: The NFL Power rankings have not been edited and published yet,

952
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 1: but it is Dolphins at number three, behind the Bills,

953
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: who they defeated, and I know Dolphins fans are gonna

954
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: try to kill me for that. Um, it is not

955
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,240
Speaker 1: taking away from what they've done to start the season

956
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: there in the top three. Who would have ever thought

957
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: that as we close out September. But yeah, I guess

958
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: I do want to see a little bit more. A

959
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: road win on Thursday night, UM against Cincinnati, right after

960
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: Cincinnati got his mojo back thanks to my jets. UM,

961
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: that is another great little test or the Dolphins to say, yeah,

962
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: not this isn't just a fast start. We're the real deal.

963
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: And I know is great and spectacular and out of

964
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: this world. They were on offense in Week two. It's

965
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: been sandwich by two pedestrian off offensive days to me.

966
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: So I still want to see more of the Dolphins

967
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: before I'm saying yeah, this is a real deal. This

968
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: is there that team you always wonder, what's the team

969
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 1: that comes out of the weeds, um and becomes a superpower?

970
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: Is that the Dolphins. Not all the way there yet.

971
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: But obviously you can't take away what they've done. I

972
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: have no problem with you keeping Buffalo in the top

973
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: spot just based on who they are. I don't think well,

974
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: just that that Miami didn't scotch them. I don't think

975
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: one result should do that. That said, I think the

976
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: Dolphins are legitimate, and it's for me, it's not just

977
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: the rights. Their defense. Their defense is why they won

978
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: that Bills game. And they're really well coached on offense,

979
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of the issues the two I had before,

980
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: which was offensive line, lack of weapons, lack of offensive coaching.

981
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: He had two offensive coordinators with a third guy in

982
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: his head in his ear on the headset. That's all

983
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: been replaced by Mike McDaniel in a really well organized attack.

984
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're going away at all. I

985
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: think what we've seen is who they are right. They're

986
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: running game in Miami doesn't get much attention, but it's

987
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: been quietly effective. And I think that's a difference between

988
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: these two teams is that you can run, and they've

989
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: been really effective in the red zone. And even in

990
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: that Jets game, I mean, the Bengals made some some

991
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: great plays. Uh. I didn't feel like their offensive line

992
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: was still that clean. Uh. And I still think they're

993
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: like Howney on Burrow to beat these two shell coverages

994
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: that are making him, you know, thinking dunked down the field.

995
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 1: The ground game is which was a strength last year

996
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: is totally vanished, even to the point when Mixing lost

997
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: some carries against the Jets, you immediately saw they moved

998
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: the ball better on the ground in the second half.

999
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: Now the Jets were maybe a little ground down on

1000
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 1: defense by that point, but J. P. Ryan, I think

1001
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: that the um running game needs to get going because

1002
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: that allows Burrow to you know, be set up better

1003
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: in the passing game. But that was a positive start

1004
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: for their offense. Let's see if they can build on it.

1005
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: By the way, Eli Apple uh offered Tyreek Hill ticket

1006
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: free tickets to the Super Bowl last year via social

1007
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: media after after he helped shut down Tyreko. Remember that

1008
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: play at the end of the first half that kind

1009
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: of to me was the biggest play in the a

1010
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,919
Speaker 1: f C Championship when when Eli Apple tackled Tyreek Hill,

1011
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: he did not call him the B word that you

1012
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: think the B word would be. He calls him a baby.

1013
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: So that's my fault. But Tyreek basically when you call

1014
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,959
Speaker 1: somebody the other B word, you call them a babe

1015
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: that you're calling them. And then Tyreek Hill, immediately after

1016
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: Sunday already was thinking about it and telling Eli Apple

1017
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: I own you, I own you can't wait. Tell Annie

1018
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: Apple chimes in on this, Miami. That was that was

1019
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: a year in our lives that Annie Apple Um and

1020
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 1: Eli Apple were like a whole story, right, that was

1021
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: a thing. That was a thing. Show us something, Bengals,

1022
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: show us something. We don't want you to be a

1023
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: one in three, a f C champion, uh, you know,

1024
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: defending champion here. This is a big there's a big

1025
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: spot for them. This would be an acceptable loss for

1026
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. The Bengals need to win this. Let's see

1027
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: other other competing power rankings are popping up now. I'm

1028
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: trying to see if this is for your own time.

1029
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: We are USA today like taping still the Eagles one,

1030
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins two, Bills three. This is for your own personal

1031
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:00,319

Speaker 1: English woman who is a hardcore listener of this program, right,

1040
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: God forbid, God forbid, we're here to would It's the

1041
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: same conversation every time we come to London and we

1042
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,439
Speaker 1: have a live show, and we're nice enough, we're we're

1043
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: lucky enough to have um these conversations after the show

1044
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: and there's the there's the husband and then his wife

1045
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: and she's like, I've never heard the show, but it's

1046
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: always on in the background, and my husband loves you.

1047
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: I don't know you, but thank you for doing this.

1048
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: It's all right. We also do have a strong contingent

1049
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: of loyal female listeners, but not the particularly a little

1050
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: weird comments like that, that's just because they say that

1051
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: I have great relationships with many of them. Every time

1052
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: we say every time we say that, every time we

1053
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: say that, they come out of the woodwork to say

1054
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: that's not the case. It's not just uh, you know,

1055
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: like I have a team of women. I please shut up.

1056
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: That was an appropriate sound clip. I mean you begging

1057
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: you to shut up. I am just saying we do

1058
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of female fans to trust me. Do

1059
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: you think they feel invisible when we just continue to

1060
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: act like the whole fan base is male. No, I don't.

1061
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't act like that. I think, for whatever reason,

1062
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: what Dan is saying, for whatever reason in the UK,

1063
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 1: in the UK a audience, I think that's true. I

1064
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: think it's somehow different in the States, where maybe American

1065
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: football is a little more balanced in terms of men

1066
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: and women both love you. Maybe hasn't crossed over. I

1067
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:18,800
